1983. Or what Vlieg likes to call, the Genesis of Vlieg’s literacy.

This was the first of forty novels in the Discworld series, created by sir Terry Pratchett, amongst thirty other books he wrote or co-authored. Sir Terry was cured of his Alzheimer’s disease, or as he used to call it, his embuggerance, last week when Death arrived and took him away to where-ever, at the arguable youthful age of sixty six.

Therefore, Great A’Tuin the Turtle has stopped swimming with the Weight of four elephants Berilia, Tubul, Great T’Phon and Jerakeen on its back, carrying the Discworld. There

Thank you sir for your inspiration and for keeping Vlieg, albeit arguably, sane!

Terry Pratchett is dead. Long live Terry Pratchett.

Terry Pratchett wisdom: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving” “Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show.”

“Trouble is always easy to find when you have enough people looking for it.”

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming around and trying to put things in it.”

“Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.”

“Imagination, not intelligence, made us human.”

“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”

“The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.”

“The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they’ve found it.”

Hawkers: Enough is enough

Alex Smit en Marguerite Badenhorst is onlangs by die Fairview River Lodge in die huwelik bevestig, deur ds Henk Joubert van die Ned Herv Kerk. Marguerite is die dogter van Moekie en Ben Badenhorst van Tzaneen en Alex is die seun van Nina en wyle Johan Smit van Polokwane. Die paartjie sal in Polokwane vestig.

The ruling authority in Tzaneen is the GTM and not the informal traders! If the GTM does not have the will to bring back law and order, the community — especially the formal, commercial community — will take action. Enough is enough and we will no longer be ruled by hawkers.

This is how a prominent businessman with more than one business and a number of properties in Tzaneen’s central business district reacted after Monday’s meeting of Tzaneen Business against Crime.

It is now clear that businessmen and -women in the CBD are not prepared to take it any longer that they are regulated, whilst hawkers do as they like. It is es-

timated that 150 to 200 hawkers that it is clear that action can are actively trading in Tzaneen, no longer be delayed. Memwith only 44 being licenced to bers of the SAPS attended the meeting and some of them also trade in designated areas. added to the frustraPavements have become inaccessible, tions that they experienced as a result pick pocketing is a huge problem in esof the out-of-control hawker situation. pecially Danie JouMr Kenny bert Street, vehicles are being damaged Makhubele from the GTM disclosed, by either greedy parking assistants much to the shock who demand monof the people in attendance, that the ey from motorists or GTM’s traffic officers by hawkers on the were unwilling to act pavements, hygiene Makhubele against the hawkers. in certain areas is at an all-time low etcetera.

This will, however, be rectified, At Monday’s meeting the he said. The GTM’s environchairman of Business against mental health officer, Ms PaCrime, Mr Solly Masetla, said tience Mboweni, said the rules

and regulations to control the informal traders are in place, albeit old rules and regulations.

The process to obtain the names of hawkers with permits, get an accurate description of the designated areas for hawkers and to promote proper liaison between the GTM, Business against Crime, the SAPS and other role players will be co-ordinated by Ms Mandie de Nysschen.

She is acting as secretary as well and she is driving the new initiative with a lot of enthusiasm. It will be interesting to see what the next few weeks will bring, regarding the totally unacceptable situation with a free-for-all hawkers situation in and even around Tzaneen.

Strong support for Care Group The Tzaneen Care Group enjoyed excellent support at a function held at the Fairview convention centre last week, which was attended by more than 260 people.

More than fifty sponsors came forward to the benefit of the group, who acquired new premises where its caregiving will be operating from in future. The house in 36 Maritz Street was gifted by an anonymous benefactor. The group also received a surprise donation of R50 000 from Smit Garrun.

The Tzaneen Care Group is a non profit company with limited resources solely

reliant on the goodwill and generosity of the community. Volunteers act as caregivers in that they offer emotional, moral and financial support to local cancer patients.

The group was founded in 1989 and in recent years has built up stock consisting of wheel chairs, hospital beds, mattresses, commodes, walkers and crutches to name a few. Currently it cares for more than eighty patients. Their vision for the new house is to offer and care for cancer patients at all times maintaining a sense of respect and dignity for any person being tested, says chairman Yasmeen Moosa.

Members of the Tzaneen Care Group are (front) Mss Juanine Jackson, Gerda Drewes and Sonia de Witt. At the back are Mss Salome Meyer, Magda Bootha, Yasmeen Moosa (chairperson), Evelyn Klinkert, Mia de Bruyn, Halima Gouse, Tracy Pratt, Macushla Muller, Melissa Strydom, Yolande Firaz and Wendy Coleman.

• Exploitive leases

Government will act!

The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) has set out to assist beneficiaries of land reform who are being exploited by cheap lease agreements, tying them up for years (sometimes decades) in contracts without any benefit.

In Limpopo it is mainly restitution farms being targeted by unscrupulous business people who lease farms for a mere fraction of the real value without any training, empowerment or partnership opportunities to the land claimants.

Acknowledging that the department itself is also to blame, an official of the DRDLR said in Polokwane this week that farmer development and land reform should be better coordinated, and beneficiaries should be served with better post settlement support.

Lack of support causes many beneficiaries to suffer financial and social difficulties which tempt them to abandon the farms, even to to sell it.

The department’s habit of not paying market related prices in land reform transactions, also destroys access to financing for both beneficiaries and farmers remaining in the area, as collateral gets eroded.

Lease agreements are then based not on true market value, but on the value payed by the state, which seldom allows for a feasible or fair income.

While complementing farmers in the Mopa-

The Crime Scene Crime Reporter: Elliot Mathye - elliot@bulletin.us.com

Additional time for 3 Three men accused of theft, armed robbery, hijacking and illegally possessing a firearm were sentenced to five years each by the Tzaneen Regional Court. Jean Pierie Potgieter (24) was sentenced to five years imprisonment for theft, while Karabo Desire Lebea (29) and Lisbon Bonny Ndlala (32) — both from Relela Village outside Tzaneen — were also sentenced to five years imprisonment for theft and ten more for armed robbery. The two were also declared unfit to possess firearms.

The additional ten years for Ndlala and Lebea relate to their involvement in a car hijacking plot that took place last year at Makanye Village, outside Polokwane, where they fled with a white Polo Vivo which they took at gunpoint.

Lebea and Ndlala reportedly also committed a planned robbery near Standard Bank in Tzaneen, where Potgieter was to deposit the stolen money. They were arrested the same day. During the arrests, part of the money and the hijacked vehicle were recovered.

Haenertsburg arrests 19 Police in Haenertsburg arrested nineteen people for various criminal activities over the past two weeks: seventeen people were arrested for contravening the Road Traffic Act, one for being in possession of dagga, and one for assault GBH.

Bolobedu detains 83 Bolobedu Police arrested 83 suspects for various criminal activities over the past week: three suspects were arrested for murder, 44 for public drinking, four for housebreaking and theft, two for rape, two for shoplifting, fifteen for assault GBH, three for common assault, two for business robbery, two for drunken driving, two for possessing stolen property and the rest for common robbery, crimen injuria, armed robbery and violating a protection order.

ni district with some of the most innovating and successful farmer development programs in the country, the DRDLR said that there is a clear distinction between farmer-to-farmer cooperation, where commercial farmers like ZZ2, Bosveld Citrus and Halls & Sons engage land reform beneficiaries in active partnerships like in Mooketsi, Georges Valley and Hoedspruit on the one hand, and exploitive lease agreements where non-farmers pay peanuts for a lifestyle break away lodge and hunting playgrounds such as Inkonka, Koedoes River Valley and Phalaborwa.

At some of these farms the beneficiaries are being paid 0,4% of the value of the land per annum, and not even being paid that regularly every month. While investigating these exploitive leases, the department realized that claimants need legal assistance as they are up against some of the most notorious legal firms in the country, who were also involved in the spectacular failures in Letsitele Valley and elsewhere in Mopani where both government, banks and beneficiaries lost hundreds of millions of rands.

The department also referred to offers from Game Ranching SA, the sugar industry and various other commodity organisations to render professional assistance to beneficiaries to land reform, partnering up with them and ensuring sustainable outcomes.

and murdered 9-year-old Ria Letsoalo. The incident happened at Medingeng Village in Bolobedu. The deceased and her 7-year-old brother were reportedly left in the care of the suspect while their mother attended a funeral two weeks ago. Maemetsa was reportedly dating the mother.

The Police followed up on information provided by members of the community.

Maenetsa was arrested along the Modjadjiskloof/Polokwane road, allegedly on his way to Gauteng. Upon his arrest, he led the police to an isolated bushy area outside the village where the body of the deceased was found buried in a shallow grave.

Maenetsa appeared in the Bolobedu Magistrates’ Court early in the week on charges of housebreaking, murder and kidnapping. His case has been remanded to later in the month for a formal bail application.He was reportedly wanted for another murder, two assaults, theft, and two housebreakings in Bolobedu.The cause of the victims’ death is yet to be determined by the post-mortem and the motive behind the killing is unknown.

The SA Library Week theme for 2015 is “Connect @ Your Library.”

Libraries allow people to connect with books, with ideas and with one another. The Greater Tzaneen Libraries all have free internet for the public, except the Tzaneen Library which is soon to be connected as well. In the photo librarians Mike Rameetse and Rosina Rachidi are happy to pose with voracious reader Andrew Marx. Library staff decided to give a LIASA Library Week

2015 T-shirt to the first person entering the Tzaneen Library on the first day of Library Week (16 March). Mr. Marx was just the right person to receive the gift as he loves reading and spends much of his time in the library, quietly reading. During Library Week colouring pictures with a reading theme are available free to all children entering the library. They can colour in at the library, or take the pictures home.

Steadying his saligna pieces on a rock in the park near the Tzaneen Information Centre is Mr Andrew Tembo (29). While he saws his wood he explains that he has a showroom in one of the Information thatched huts but his warehouse and workshop is in Ofcolaco. Tembo left his home in Blantyre, Malawi, for greener pastures five years ago and settled in the Ofcolaco area. He’d excelled at carpentry at school and used this gift to start up what’s now a successful wicker business. He employs two South Africans and two Malawians. Using Saligna, cane and bamboo they make beautiful furniture from kists to chairs, drawers, headboards and tables. His partner Ms Mamsy Mohlala (28) from Sekororo in Maruleng is his marketing manager. Mohlala went to school in Giyani and studied Human Resources through Unisa.

Tembo supplies Limpopo hardware stores from Tzaneen to Polokwane and Hoedspruit.

The local police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe, says the damage is estimated at millions of rands. Cases of public violence, arson, malicious damage to property and assault with intend to do grievous bodily harm have been opened.

Investigations are underway.

Missing child sparks violence An elderly woman and her family in Sekgopo outside Modjadjiskloof are seeking protection from the police after community members threatened to burn them alive.

The woman is accused of orchestrating the abduction of 5-year-old Lethabile Rakubu, a Gr R pupil at Moshate Village in the area.

The five-year-old reportedly left her place for school early last week. She was last seen playing outside the school with her friends.

The community reportedly consulted prophets and a sangoma for help. According to Matome Mamohlale from the Sekgopo Traditional Council, the prophets and sangoma gave the community members a description of the person who kidnapped the child.

“They said the kidnapper was young, light in complexion and liked wearing All Star shoes,” Mamohlale told Bulletin. “The picture painted by the sangoma was exactly of the woman’s grandson,” he added.

The community reportedly looked for the elderly woman’s grandson in the area, and when they could not find him, they went to her homestead. Another one of the grandchildren told the protesting community that the elderly woman arrived home with a baby on her back the same week.

“What the child said about the granny made the community believe what the sangoma and prophets predicted,” said Mamohlale.

The community reportedly surrounded the elderly woman’s house and threw stones, but did not burn her as they wanted her to reveal the location of the child. “The elderly woman told the crowd that she was not carrying a child but a cat when she arrived home that evening, and that she is used to doing,” said one community member. “It was almost horrific when the community confronted her,” added the member.

The Police reportedly rescued the woman and her family from being burnt alive. The family has since been taken to a place of safety.

The police are also in search for the child.

The Limpopo Police spokeswoman, Colonel Ronel Otto, confirmed a missing case has been opened. The Police are still investigating the disappearance of the child.

Dr Jan Truter Ned Herv Kerk Letsitele

‘Tzanikana’ Die ongeduld by sakelui en inwoners van Tzaneen en die omgewing oor die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se laksheid met die ordening van die informele handelsektor laai op. Dit is ‘n drukkoker wat gevaarlik baie stoom opbou.

Marikana is steeds vars in die geheue — nie net omdat dit so skokkend was nie, maar veral ook omdat Suid-Afrikaners bekommerd is oor hoe die regering steeds toelaat dat dinge verkeerd loop tot by ‘n punt waar dit handuit ruk, wat dan met ‘n mindere of meerdere mate van geweld deur die polisie onderdruk moet word.

Nou sit ons in die pragtige Laeveld en hou asem op dat ons hier ‘n ‘Tzanikana’ — ‘n plaaslike Marikana — moet vrees.

Die GTM se personeel wat dié broeiende storm moet bestuur om dit af te wend, is egter self tamelik leierloos. Daar is nie kontinuïteit in die hoogste amp (munisipale bestuurder) se kantoor nie, en die raadslede is met kleinpolitiek besig (en daar is in elk geval verdeeldheid wat ook dreig om uit te bars).

Die sakelui wat nou besluit het genoeg is genoeg, verdien almal wat orde nastreef se ondersteuning. Want (tragies soos dit is) hier is mos nie ‘n respektabele burgerlike struktuur wat leiding kan neem of kan inskakel by pogings om die dorp ordelik en neties te hou nie.

Mishandeling Hierby is die tiende aflewering in ‘n reeks deur spelterapeut Margie van Tonder.Vandag praat sy oor kindermishandeling. Kontak haar by 084 414 6166 of 015 307 5029 vir navrae.

Kindermishandeling sluit psigiese sowel as fisiese skade en seksuele misbruik in.

Psigiese skade veroorsaak deur onder meer vernedering, onbillike eise wat aan die kind gestel word, om die kind bang te maak of te terroriseer en om geen of min liefde en veiligheid aan die kind te bied.

Mishandeling sluit verwaarlosing in en gebeur nie per ongeluk nie, maar word met opset gepleeg.

Volgens die Grondwet (Art 28 van hfst 2) het die kind die reg: om teen mishandeling, verwaarlosing, misbruik of vernedering beskerm te word. * Wat veroorsaak kindermishandeling?

Verskillende sake moet hier in gedagte gehou word. Hierdie is ook net ‘n riglyn en die genoemde sake veroorsaak nie noodwendig mishandeling nie. Omgewingen gesinsfaktore soos huwelik-

Oppression: an affront to humanity Some time ago I went to buy food at a fast food restaurant. On my turn to buy, a white man came in.

Or rather, I heard a person walk in and wait for his turn. There was no queue. I was trying to get some clarity on the meal-options and possible combinations when the cashier (black) asked me to stand aside and let others buy as it seemed I was undecided on what I wanted.

The other people (which really were just one person) seemed rather in a hurry according to her. I turned to check who she was referring to and saw the white man.

I of course refused to stand aside,

sprobleme, armoede, werkloosheid en drank of dwelmmisbruik kan ‘n rol speel.

• Die ouer is self as kind mishandel.

• Onrealistiese verwagtings word van die kind gekoester, omdat die ouer nie die kind se vermoëns en ontwikkelingstadium ken nie.

• Die ouer kan ook aan depressie ly, ‘n swak selfbeeld hê, ander wantrou of vyandiggesind wees.

• Die kleiner kind of die kind wat anders is, soos diegene met ‘n gebrek of dalk die eenkantkind is moontlik makliker om te mishandel.

Gevolge: Lae selfbeeld, leerprobleme, agressiwiteit en verhoudingsprobleme, depressie en angstigheid kan moontlike gevolge van mishandeling wees.

Kindermishandeling kan onder meer aangemeld word by Child line: 08000 55 556 of by ‘n maatskaplike werker.

insisting it was my turn to buy. I was not undecided; I had enquiries which were important and as urgent to me.

After paying, I pointed to her the inherent racism, in which case I could have said sexism or classism as all three applied, in how she treated me.

It gets to a point where one gets tired of pointing out the prejudice, but cannot look away because it is always there. I recently read an article on everydayfeminism.com in which the writer (Toni Bell) identifies the problem as bigotry — negative perceptions assigned to people due to certain aspects (physical) of

Wolwe en Luste Eskimo’s het ‘n baie interessante metode om wolwe dood te maak, sodat hulle die velle vir klere kan gebruik om hul teen die koue te beskerm.

Hulle neem ’n lang, skerp, mes en bedek dit met bloed.

As die bloed gevries is, doop hulle die lem weer in bloed.

Hulle herhaal die proses totdat die skerp lem met ’n dik laag bloed bedek is. Dan druk hulle die mes se hef stewig in die grond vas, sodat die bloedbedekte lem na boontoe wys. ’n Honger wolf ruik die bloed en volg die bloedreuk vol begeerte, totdat hy by die bloedbedekte mes uitkom.

Die wolf begin aan die bevrore bloed lek en die smaak op sy tong maak dat hy vinniger lek.

Gretig begin die wolf al harder en harder aan die lem lek.

Sy drang na bloed word so groot dat hy nie agterkom dat die vlymskerp mes besig is om sy eie tong oop te kloof nie. Nog minder kom hy agter dat sy onversadigbare dors na bloed deur sy eie

Oor homeopatie Verum Scientificus skryf per e-pos: Ek het dr Erica Coertzen se reaksie op Vlieg se rubrieke aangaande homeopatie met belangstelling (en kopskuddende verbasing) gelees. Dit getuig van ‘n gebrek aan insig van hoe wetenskap in die 21ste eeu funksioneer, soos bv haar verwysing na ‘n Switserse regeringstudie oor homeopatie wat in boekvorm gepubliseer is.

Enige persoon wat vaagweg bewus is van hoe wetenskaplike bevindings aan die wêreld bekendgestel word, sal weet dat omtrent die laaste geloofwaardige bevinding wat dmv ‘n boek bekendgestel is, Charles Darwin se verhandeling oor ewolusie in ‘On the Origins of Species’ was, en dit was in 1859.

Sedertdien is die weg van bekendstelling eweknie-geëvalueerde artikels in wetenskaplike tydskrifte met aansien, waarvan die tydskrif Nature waarskynlik die toonaangewendste is. ‘n Sprekende voorbeeld is Watson en Crick se artikel wat in 1953 in genoemde tydskrif verskyn het, getiteld ‘Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids – A Structure of De-

According to Bell — a writer and a documentary film researcher — the problem is not that one is black, a woman or has whatever identity on the margins of mainstream capitalist society (my interpretation).

As she states: “The problem [is] negative perceptions of [one’s identity] and what spaces that [identity is] “allowed” to occupy. There is nothing wrong or marginal with being

ment.uk/pa/cm200910/cmselect/cmsctech/45/45.pdf.

Dis taamlik verdoemend teenoor homeopatie, maar die grootste ironie is dat die mees verdoemende getuienis voor die komitee deur die Homeopatie Vereniging self gelewer is. Hulle kon bv nie sê hoeveel sukkussie (‘succussion’) nodig is in die bereiding van homeopatiese middels nie – die navorsing hieroor was na 200 jaar glo nog aangaande.

Maar dalk benodig dr Coertzen meer onlangse navorsing. Ek is seker sy is vertroud met die begrippe meta-analise en sistematiese hersiening. Dis nog verder ironies dat op dieselfde dag dat haar skrywe in Bulletin verskyn het daar juis in die dagblad Beeld melding gemaak is van so ‘n metaanalise en sistematiese hersieningstudie deur die National Health and Medical Research Council van Australië (https://www.nhmrc.gov. au/health-topics/complementarymedicines/homeopathy-review) wat so pas verskyn het. Die studie het ‘n meta-analise van 1800 gepubliseerde artikels gedoen asook 52 sistematiese

Dis ‘n wonderlike artikel van slegs een folio-bladsy lank (http://www.nature. com/nature/dna50/watsoncrick.pdf) wat die struktuur van DNA beskryf en ‘n rewolusie in ons begrip van hoe organismes op molekulêre vlak funksioneer, en hoe genetiese oorerwing bewerkstellig word, tot gevolg gehad het. Geen groot omhaal van woorde (‘n boek!), maar eenvoudig in sy kompleksiteit.

Dr Coetzen raai Vlieg tereg aan om na die studies oor homeopatie te gaan kyk en ek wil graag dieselfde doen. In 2009 moes die Britse Parlement ‘n ondersoek deur hulle Wetenskap en Tegnologie Komitee laat doen om te besluit of dit geregverdig is om belastingbetalers se geld te gebruik om deur die Nasionale Gesondheid Diens (NHS) te betaal vir homeopatie. Almal het ‘n geleentheid gehad om insette te lewer, insluitend die Britse Homeopatie Vereniging.

bloed bevredig word. Hy smag net na meer en meer totdat hy homself uiteindelik doodbloei.

Die Bybel waarsku ons dat ons, nes die wolwe deur ons eie luste verteer word. Dit is ’n selfvernietigende weg om onbeheersd aan die luste van ons sondige natuur toe te gee. Hoe meer ons dit doen hoe meer vernietig dit ons.

Ons het die inwonende Heilige Gees se krag in ons nodig om sonde se aanspraak op ons te weerstaan.

Die beste tyd om teen sonde te stry, is om aan die begin van ’n versoeking ’n mens se toevlug tot die Here Jesus te neem.

Markus14:38 sê: “’n Mens wil in jou hart graag teen die versoeking veg, maar die menslike geaardheid het nie die krag om dit te doen nie.”

Jakobus 4:7 het die beste raad teen die luste en versoekings.

Hy beveel aan om naby Christus te lewe en jou krag in Hom te soek. Hy wat ons so goed ken en volgens Hebreërs 4:15 aan al die versoekings onderwerp is, nes ons, vir ons ’n Helper in ons stryd teen versoekings.

black, a woman, homosexual and so on.

The problem is with the people who see it so and react accordingly.

In the article, Bell of course focuses on the othering of black/nonwhite people, but I find it important to point to all kinds of oppression. I have come to take issue with the idea of black men and black women standing together against racial prejudice, as we seem to have different aims.

I initially wanted to point to social privilege as the big and often undermined challenge we face today.

In the case above, it was of course not the white man’s fault that the

cashier found him more important than me. For all I remember, the white man stood in wonder as we had our little discussion in a language he probably did not understand while looking at him.

The repercussions of oppression (racism, sexism, etc) have blackness seen as second/less important/subjective to whiteness. And maybe this might never be completely undone. I know it makes a difference when individuals stand to challenge the perceptions.

I also know it takes some monstrous level of ‘good heartedness’ for one to reject privilege in the name of fairness/goodness.

I also know there are people from all walks of life who work to dismantle the perceptions.

Werk homeopatie vir sommige mense? Ek is oortuig daarvan, maar nie op die basis van bewysgedrewendheid (‘evidence based’) nie — glo in dit wat jy nie kan sien nie is immers geloof. Of bygeloof, afhangend vanuit watter hoek jy daarna kyk.

Limpopo needs you!

Derick Mosoana, DA Youth Provincial Chairperson-elect, writes: The province Limpopo is in a process of decay with skyrocketing figures of coruption, institutionalised maladministration, human trafficking and many other chronic incidents that has brought the progress of Africa’s Eden into paralysis.

Which is why we the DA Youth calls to all academics, business people, spiritual leaders, politicians and ordinary people who have migrated to various provinces in a search for a better life to return home to rebuild the province.

With most municipalities and all government departments struggling to cope, police personnel dismally failing to crack a whip on crime and its activities and top officials failing to develop job creating strategies it is only fair that sons and daughters return to give their services in saving the province.

The DA Youth will develop a list of top politicians, academics and possible leaders who are by origin Limpopians but by practice placed in various provinces and approach them individually on what can they do and where can they volunteer to reconstruct Limpopo.

Waterboer skryf per e-pos: Suiwer korporatiewe bestuursbeginsels word nie aangebore nie, dit word ingedril. In Suid-Afrika van 2015 is dit so skaars soos hoendertanne, al is een van die wêreld se grootste guru’s op die gebied, regter Mervin King, ‘n Suid-Afrikaner.

Sy King III-riglyne vir goeie korporatiewe bestuur geld dwarsoor die wêreld as een van die standaardwerke oor die onderwerp, en is ewe geldig vir direksies van gelysde maatskappye, lede van BK’s, kerkrade, skole, en die

www.bulletin.us.com teeklub by die werk.

As daar korrupsie, selfverryking, bevoordeling van familie en vriende, en swak finansiële- en bestuursverslae op die hoogste vlak in ‘n gemeenskap aan die orde van die dag is, kan mens verwag dat dit op provinsiale en selfs dorpsvlak ook broekskeur sal gaan. Ons dorp is natuurlik nie n uitsondering nie, en al Tzaneen se inwoners, oud en jonk, betaal die prys.

Dit gaan nie net oor korrupsie in die staatsdiens en die munisipaliteit nie. Dit gaan wesentlik ook oor wanpraktyke in die kerke, skole en sakeklubs. Dit gaan oor hoe boere mekaar inloop op waterrade, hoe maatjies kontrakte kry om die skou se besigheid te skep, en hoe die laerskoolspannetjies saamgestel word. Dit is waar die saad vir more se wanbestuur op die hoogste vlakke vandag al in klein dorpies ontkiem.

Om een of ander duistere rede glo bestuurders dat hulle onetiese gedrag onsigbaar is, en dat mense in die dorp dit nie raaksien, en nie daaroor praat nie. Hulle word so bedwelm in die selfregverdiging van growwe wanbestuur, dat hulle dink die res van die gemeenskap sal dit gelate aanvaar. Hulle dink selde aan die implikasies vir die toekoms, aan die groter welstand van die gemeenskap of aan die grappies wat agter hande oor hulle gemaak word, solank hulle in die onmiddellike n kortstondige voordeel daaruit kan put.

Dan gebeur dit dat n laerskoolkind vyfde kom in die redenaarskompetisie omdat die juffrou, beoordelaar en beheerliggaamlid se kinders die eerste vier plekke beklee, maar eerste kom in die distrik en in Limpopo. Of dat die seuntjie wat nooit speelkans kry nie, omdat die meneer, die afrigter en beheerraadslede se kinders die span volmaak, meteens ‘n ster word as hy hoërskool toe gaan. Tzaneen het ‘n reputasie daarvoor.

Dit is wat veroorsaak dat boere skinner en kla dat daar fout is by die besproeiingsraad, en dat hulle bestuurslede daarvan verdink dat hulle persoonlike voordeel trek uit swak aangekondigde jaarvergaderings, gebrekkige terugvoer, die afwesigheid van bestuursverslae en finansiële rekords, en ondeursigtige verhandeling van waterregte. Meer nog, ons raak so ongevoelig daarvoor, dat besture wat daaroor gekonfronteer word, ewe ongeërg sal antwoord dat dit niks met die gemeenskap te doen het nie, of dat watergebruikers wat navrae het, maar die wet moet gebruik om inligting uit die bestuur uit te pers. Dan het hulle verder die vermetelheid om watertariewe te verhoog, want sulke hofsake sal hulle nie uit eie sak baklei nie...

En Saterdagaand om die braaivleisvure vloek hulle die korrupte regering met sy baantjiesvir-boeties mentaliteit, wat net na die sakke van sy eie amptenare omsien.

Woman gruesomely beaten A woman is fighting for her life in hospital after she was pelted with bricks in Sekgosese outside Modjadjiskloof recently.

The hair-raising attack was captured in a video that has since gone viral. The woman is seen lying on the ground while community members take turns stoning her. She’s beaten continuously with sticks. The community members are shouting in Sepedi, “She’s not dead, she’s not dead, kill her.”

The attack was allegedly triggered by the death of another woman at Ga-Ramphahlelo Village in the Sekgosese area, believed to have been poisoned while drinking traditional brew. Community members allegedly accused the beaten woman, from the neighbouring Rietfontein Village, of poisoning the deceased. The woman was alleg-

edly seen sharing the brew with the deceased earlier on.

The deceased’s family allegedly led the attack to avenge for their loved one. Community members who spoke to Bulletin say she was first paraded in the streets of the village before being dragged to the deceased’s homestead, where the beating took place.

The local Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Mphalelwa Mashao, says the Police were informed about the attack. They found the woman lying on the ground, naked. She was rushed to hospital.

According to Mashao, five community members, believed to be the deceased’s relatives, have been arrested so far. They were granted R500 bail each after appearing in court.

“We are now waiting for the post-mortem results to reveal what killed the allegedly poisoned woman,” he told Bulletin.

According to one community member who refused to be named, the beaten woman was suspected of poisoning the deceased because they once had an argument over a man. “It was just too suspicious that on the day she died, they had been seen drinking together,” said the community member.

R71’s hawkers’ days are numbered The illegal trading by hawkers on the R71 outside Tzaneen might soon come to an end. The commanding assurance was made by the provincial department of roads and transport and supported by the Greater Tzaneen Municipality.

Bulletin again made inquiries about hawkers arrogantly trading right next to signs that prohibit them from doing so. According to the department’s spokesperson, Ms Kagiso Mootane, the problem with hawkers was only recently realised. An urgent plan of action has been forwarded to the Mopani traffic manager, Mr Mthembi.

“We were not aware that signs were there to prohibit any illegal trading, but we assure that action will be taken, as an urgent inquiry has been sent to the chief of staff and the Mopani traffic manager,” Mootane told us.

Meanwhile, the GTM has claimed that the R71 is now

under its jurisdiction, after having previously denied responsibility of the route.

According to GTM spokesperson Neville Ndlala, the GTM has jurisdiction to execute speed law enforcement as well as general policing.

“There are discussions with regard to a certain hawker doing business on the road; it is a legal issue as the individual was given a permit which was signed by one of our former municipal managers,” he told Bulletin.

The matter, as Ndlala explained, needs to be approached with caution to avoid loopholes. In the meantime, Ndlala promised that traffic officials will continue to monitor the hawkers’ situation in the area..

Tzaneen gets new multi workshop

New Testament studied service distance training in theology.

It provides biblically based training opportunities and facilities to church leaders for church and community development in Africa.

The course also develops church leadership and administrative skills in order to inspire kingdom vision and to support the growth and development of churches.

An important aspect is to equip leaders, office bearers and members of churches to correctly understand and apply the Bible in their own environment.

The New Testament classes start on Friday 11 April 2015. New students are welcome to join. Classes are presented every Friday afternoon at 14:00 at the Gereformeerde Kerk Laeveld in Claude Wheatley Street, Tzaneen (Reformed Church opposite HiQ and the FET College).

Please contact dr Edmund de Beer (083 3911 065) for more information.

The cost per module is only R200. A number of bursaries is available.

A well-established panel beating shop that reigned in Tzaneen for nearly five decades is taken over by new management with enthusiastic plans to enlarge the business extensively within the next few months.

H-Effect Multi Workshop & Panel Beaters are the new owners of Van Vreden’s Panel Beaters at 11 Plantation Road in the old industrial area. Whereas the previous owner only practiced body works and spray-painting, the new group will expand these services to include a multi workshop handling highly professional mechanical and auto electrical services as well.

The company is in the final stages of getting factory approval from Nissan (who is doing a re-audit due to the takeover) and most other vehicle manufacturers and component dealers for the panel beating division, while an impressive list of brand new equipment will fill the revamped building. The manufacturer approvals are not applicable to the rest of the workshop.

The owner, Mr Hennie van Rooy-

en, and his manager, Mr Hannes Craemer, (both from Secunda) aim to set the pace with the latest technology and will keep the staff up to date through training from the manufacturers.

With the restructuring all the staff of Van Vreden’s were taken in and they also added a number of new trained personnel. On hand training for general workers is regularly performed by different suppliers, for up to date trends and changing techniques in the trade.

The new company offers a variety of additional services, like free computerized quotations on request, a

24-hour towing service, courtesy vehicles, rubberizing on site, number plates, the re-gas of air-conditioning and digital assessments.

Completed jobs carry a three year workmanship warrantee, spares one year as per manufacturer guarantee and life time on paintwork. All paint work will be water-based as prescribed by vehicle manufacturers.

Apart from extensive renovations to the workshop, the preface of the building will also take a new shape and colour. The reception staff members will apply their advanced experience to keep customers satisfied.

Also coming is a field service for tractors, forklifts and other equipment which will be done wherever the customer requires.

The management expect this service to be in full operation within a few months time.

Owner Van Rooyen added: “We are looking forward in doing business on a permanent basis and hope to become one of your preferred auto body repairers.”

Vossies trap Montana

Punte! Ruben Koekemoer van die Nyatis’ druk ‘n mooi drie in die wedstryd teen Montana.

Die afgelope Saterdag het die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se rugbyspanne die lang pad Pretoria toe aangepak, vir wedstryde teen die Hoërskool Montana. Dit het besonder goed gegaan, met slegs een span wat verloor het.

Die o.14A-span was eerste aan die beurt. Hulle het aanvanklik gesukkel om aan die gang te kom en was halftyd 3-0 agter. In die tweede helfte het hulle hul voete gevind en uiteindelik met 26-3 gewen. Die o.14B’s het 17-5 verloor.

Die o.15 A’s was in ‘n spannende wedstryd nog kort voor die einde 17-10 agter, maar ‘n verdoelde drie het die eindtelling 17 elk

gemaak. Die o.15B’s het ook gelykop gespeel, met twaalf punte elk.

Albei o.16-spanne was hopeloos te sterk vir hul opponente.

Die A-span het Montana oorrompel en 53-0 gewen, terwyl die B-span met 59-5 koning gekraai het.

Die derde span was baas in ‘n spannende wedstryd, met 1412. Die Nyathi’s het weer baie ondernemende rugby gespeel, om met 39-5 te wen.

Die eerste span se wedstryd was ‘n taai affêre met albei spanne wat met tye puik rugby gespeel het.

Montana het vroeg die voortou geneem, met twee drieë — maar die Vossies het teruggeveg met drieë deur slot Thapelo Molapo, vleuel Shima Mphalele, losskakel Danny Mokhobane en flank JJ Anker, om kort voor die einde in die naelbytstryd met 30-29 voor te loop. Losskakel Mokhobane het egter seker gemaak van die wen, deur net voor die eindfluitjie geblaas het deur te gaan vir sy tweede drie en sodoende die Vossies met 35-29 te laat wen.

Môre speel die Vossies in Thabazimbi teen Frikkie Meyer.

Soutpansberg Muurbalklub was die afgelope naweek gasheer vir die Limpopo Muurbalkampioenskappe.

Die toernooi is gekenmerk deur uitstaande hoë gehalte muurbal. Spelers van Tzaneen, Polokwane, Mokopane, Mogol en Louis Trichardt het meegeding. Die damesafdeling is gewen deur Ronel Welman (Louis Trichardt) en in die tweede plek was Karen Claasen (Tzaneen). In die mansafdeling het twee jong talentvolle spelers, Erik Welman (Louis Trichardt) en Tyrone Daniels (Mogol) sake uitgespook.

Two qualified... Jack Baloyi (left) from Dr Annecke Primary School in Letsitele achieved first place in the 100 m and 150 m sprints at the Limpopo Athletics championships. He has thus qualified to compete at the SA Championships in Gauteng on 20 and 21 March.

Nkateko Phakula also won a gold medal in the hurdles, but was not included in the Limpopo team.

These young swimmers from Unicorn Preparatory School recently represented Limpopo at an interprovincial gala and did their school proud.

In front are Keira Booth (one silver and two bronze medals) and Luca Wasley (one gold, one silver and one bronze medal). Behind them are Talent Ndzadzibaya (four silver medals), Kristen Klinkert (one bronze medal) and Jack Stewart (one gold and two bronze medals).

A great ‘Mile’ expected Tomorrow will see the fourteenth Ebenhezer Mile, ably organised and presented by Rotary Haenertsburg. The organizers have evolved the management of this event into a professional and slick operation over the years — and now they will be using the latest timing methods.

If you have not attended one of the ‘Miles’ before, here is the lowdown. There are some swimmers who are fiercely competitive and super fit for

this sport and participate in the national open water swimming circuit for their own personal achievements. They either swim the exclusive 3 000 m or the popular Mile (1 600 m) or both!

Then there are the large majority who come out and swim for the fun of it, choosing the Mile (if they’ve done a bit of training) or the easy 500 m ‘fun’ course. Kids of all ages can take part.

Come and see/swim for your-self tomorrow (Saturday 21 March).

Genevieve van der Merwe (Hoërskool Merensky) en haar perd Makadesh Zahra, het aan die Western Mounted Games in Bela Bela deelgeneem en met drie tweede plekke en een wen weg gery! Hulle is ook aangewys as reserwe kampioen vir Vlak 1.

Two athletes of Unicorn Preparatory School, Makoma Pilusa and Kian None, have made the Limpopo athletics team and will take part in the SA’s in Germiston on March 20 and 21.

TOMORROW

Gullis Gouws (president) with runners up team Red Devils (round 1 champs), Fred Hoffman, Mardenette Smit, Robert Morrison and Jaco van Wyk.

Business league was great The second rounds of the Summer “Barefoot in the Park” business league was played at the Duiwelskloof Bowling Club from 12 February to 12 March. The competition attracted eight teams in total and after week 3, the league was split into two categories: Open (top 4) and Plate (bottom 4).

The Open teams retained their points to date, while the Plate teams restarted from scratch.

In the Open section, congratulations go to the ZZ2 men’s team who played the fifth week against last year’s win-

ners, the Red Devils, and despite the Devils winning this last closely contested game, the ZZ2 men’s team won the tournament overall.

In the Plate section, congratulations go to Trophy Motors’ team, who had a narrow encounter against the Vrystaat team! Both teams ended on 16 points, but the aggregate shot difference between the two teams was 12 versus 8 shots!

The players and club members enjoyed great fun, food and the are looking forward to the next league later this year!

Gullis Gouws (president) presenting the Frank Lavia Twilight Business League Trophy to Team ZZ2: Wouter Matthee, Nico Swart, JJ Espach and Bart Schonken.

Three of the Merensky’s archers took part in the Free State Field Archery competition in Bloemfontein over the past weekend. The archers struggled with a strong wind but still did very well.

Ruan Genis (photo) and Pieter van der Merwe were respectively first and second in the junior male bowhunter unlimited category and their team mate, Beneche Jackson, was second in her section (junior female freestyle unlimited).

Mfumo Mongwe, a Gr 10 pupil from Stanford Lake College, qualified during the Limpopo Athletics championships to participate in the SA’s from 26 to 29 March (in Rustenburg).

Although Mfumo is u.16, he qualified at u.17 level for the 200 m.

Hannes van der Merwe (Laerskool Tzaneen) en sy perd Vierkleur Noula, het aan die Western Mount- Theo van der Merwe (Hoërskool Merensky) ed Games in Bela Bela deelgeneem. Hulle het drie en sy perd Doc Foxtrot, het in die Western tweede plekke en drie eerste plekke verower. Hulle Mounted Games in Bela Bela twee derde is ook aangewys as kampioen vir Vlak 0. plekke en twee tweede plekke behaal.

Vossies klop Montana Die netbalspanne van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het die afgelope Saterdag goed teen die Hoërskool Montana in Pretoria gespeel en sewe spanne het gewen, twee het verloor en een span het gelykop gespeel.

Die o.14A-span het hard gewerk vir ‘n oorwinning, maar moes uiteindelik tevrede wees met ‘n gelykop uitslag van 10 doele elk.

Die o.15B’s het egter met 12-6 gewen.

Die o.15A’s het aanvanklik gesukkel en in ‘n stadium ‘n agterstand van ses doele gehad.

Hulle het egter hard gewerk en uiteindelik gemaklik met 24-16 gewen. Die o.15B’s het ook danksy harde werk met 18-14 gewen.

Die o.16A-span was ongelukkig om 1615 te verloor. Afronding by die doelhok het ontbreek. Die o.16B’s het ook gesukkel en met 16-7 verloor. Die o.17A’s het goeie netbal gespeel en van die begin af druk uitgeoefen.

Hulle het met 22-14 geseëvier — en die o.17B’s het ook met harde spel met 9-5 gewen.

Die tweede span, wat uit junior meisies bestaan, het met 23-17 gewen. Die eerste span was in het ‘n titaniese stryd met Montana gewikkel. Die wedstryd was deurentyd baie gelykop, maar die Vossies het koelkop gebly, geleidelik die oorhand gekry en met 21-19 gewen.

Môre meet die netbalspanne kragte teen Frikkie Meyer in Thabazimbi.

Sharks en Chiefs kan rugby laat seëvier In sport is wen soms ál wat saakmaak. Maar partykeer oorheers genot die belangrikheid van die uitslag.

Die Wêreldbekerkrieket wat dié naweek in Australië en Nieu-Seeland gespeel word, is ʼn voorbeeld van wedstryde waarin niks belangriker as die tellings is nie.

Australië speel in Adelaide teen Pakistan en Nieu-Seeland in Wellington teen die Windies.

Die wenspanne dring deur tot die halfeindronde; vir die verloorders is dit klaarpraat.

In Durban, waar die Sharks en die Chiefs teen mekaar speel, kan die gehalte van die rugby die uitslag oorskadu. Die spanne is so te sê gebou vir hardloooprugby. Hul kragmeting kan een van die skouspelagtigstes van die jaar se Superrugby wees.

Regstreekse uitsendings van die Cape Epic-bergfietsry, Sesnasie-rugby, die 161ste kragmeting tussen Cambridge en Oxford se roeispanne en motorfietsrenne in Thailand is ʼn paar van die ander plesierighede wat dié naweek op TV-kykers wag.

Loftus se piesangskil te veel vir Letaba Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se wintersportkragmeting teen die Hoërskool Montana van Pretoria het gewys die Vossies sal vanjaar weer op die sportveld presteer. Hier duik Danny Mokhobane van die Vossies se eerste rugbyspan sierlik oor die doellyn vir ‘n drie. Verslag op bl 14.

In ‘n wintersportbyeenkoms tussen die Hoërskool Merensky en Ellisras is hokkie gespeel dat die stof letterlik gestaan het. Die Plasies se Chanté Aucamp baklei hier tussen die stofwolke deur om besit van die bal. Sportuitslae is binne op bladsye 14 en 15.

Die gesanik en geween wat opgegaan het vanuit KwaZumaNatal na die Haaie se onlangse nederlaag teen die sukkelende Bulle noop Oubal vandag om die tyd ‘n week of twee terug te draai.

‘Tja, voor in die koor was natuurlik ArthurIngelsman wat hoogs emosioneel ontevrede was oor die “houm taun diesiesjin” wat sy geliefde Last Outpost gesink het. Na interne tug het ons gedink dis die einde van die saak, maar toe kom neef Christo Buchner met ‘n rubriek in die GAD* en gooi olie op ou Al se vuur.

Laat Oubal vanuit die staanspoor sê neef Christo is na Oubal se ervaring vir die Haaie wat oorlede Quintus van Rooyen destyds vir die BB was. Van Blouen het mos soos Stief Mofmeyer geglo elke rakbiespeler in Pretoria moet ‘n Bok wees. Ten gunste van neef Christo kan Oubal darem sê sy onderrok hang nie heeltemal só ver uit nie — Quintus het skaars ‘n bo-rok gedra!

Hoe dit ook al sy, neef Christo deel ou Al se mening dat dit ongehoord was dat drie van die wedstrydbeamptes aan die BB verbonde is en as sulks foutiewe beslissings in hul guns gemaak het, wat glo grens aan wedstrydknoeiery.

Wat neef Christo nog meer grief was SARU

Neutrale Skeidsregters? se skeidsregterbaas wat nie antwoorde wou verskaf nie en hom na die SupeRakbiebeheerliggaam, Sanzar, verwys het. Sanzar het hom soos ‘n stopstraat geïgnoreer, waaroor Oubal hulle nie kwalik neem nie — die Woord sê immers ‘n mens antwoord ‘n dwaas nie na sy dwaasheid nie.

‘Tja, die eenvoudige waarheid is dat Sanzar al in November 2008 besluit het dat daar vanaf 2009 nie meer neutrale beamptes gebruik gaan word nie. Dit geld wanneer twee spanne van verskillende lande speel, en sekerlik per implikasie ook wanneer dit twee spanne van dieselfde land is. Soos, sê nou maar, die BB teen die Haaie.

Onverbonde skeidsregters lê dus so lank in die verlede dat Oubal omtrent nog net kan onthou van waar oubaas Max Baise was.

Dat ‘n gesoute joernalis dit nie weet nie en dan ‘n boHAAI opskop, spreek van uiterste dwaasheid!

Dis ongelukkig nie al wat hy nie weet nie.

Northam 33 – Letaba 3 In een van hul swakste pogings in baie jare het Letaba 1 toe Saterdag op Loftus in die Assupol-eindstryd gegly, in plaas van om rugby te speel. Loftus was vir hulle soos een groot piesangskil...

Letaba het weer teen Northam te staan gekom en ‘n behoorlike loesing (33-3) op die lyf geloop. Voorkant toe sal Letaba nie net baie beter teen Northam moet speel nie, maar hulle sal ook bedag moet wees op goeie sielkundige voorbereiding — Saterdag se loesing sal nie sommer net opklaar en vergete wees nie.

Die span het hulself, hul goeie afrigter en sy span helpers en ook Letaba se getroue ondersteuners en borge in die steek gelaat.

Die span was lusteloos en die verdediging was skokkend. Slegs enkele uitsonderings het hoegenaamd enige vasberadenheid gewys en die meeste spelers was slegs fisies op die veld; terwyl hul koppe êrens anders was.

Letaba het vroeg voorgeloop, danksy ‘n strafskop van Gom Bvuma. Na die suksesvolle skop het dit gelyk of die span net gewag het vir die eindfluitjie om te blaas.

Northam het by hul spelpatroon gehou; maar Letaba het heeltemal laat slaplê by

die losgemale, terwyl die voorspelers in die agterlyn gelê het, om soos senters te probeer hardloop.

Die agterlynspelers het een of ander onbekende wedstrydplan gevolg, deur elke bal te probeer skop en of suinig te speel. Dit het gesorg dat Letaba ‘n liederlike pak slae op die lyf geloop het.

Die kanse was daar om drieë te druk, maar met suinige spel en swak aangeë is talle kanse verbrou. Glen Mafumo was die uitsondering en hy het sy lyf op die spel geplaas. As nog net drie, vier ander spelers met dieselfde toewyding gespeel het, kon die telbord heel anders gelyk het.

Letaba sal vinnig moet regruk, want more speel hulle tuis teen die baie sterk span van Mbombela.

Letaba 1 en 2 speel om 15:00 en 16:30 onderskeidelik. Die span se getroue ondersteuners moet sorg da hulle more opdaag en die groenes ondersteun. Vergeet nou maar van wat die afgelope naweek op Loftus gebeur het. Ons gly almal een of ander tyd en selfs die topspanne in rugby wêreldwyd maak soms skande.

Ons glo ons manne kan en wil en sál vir hul brouwerk van die afgelope naweek sake regstel.

Die Haaie se grootste grief was die vorentoe aangee van Jessie Kriel wat tot Tatoëerman se drie gelei het. Dink Oubal die aangee was vorentoe? Ongetwyfeld, beslis, sonder vrees vir teenspraak. Dink Oubal die TV-skeidsregter het dit verkeerd beoordeel? Geensins, as ‘n mens die voorskrifte van WR (voorheen IRB) volg nie.

‘Tja, WR sê daar moet gekyk word hoe die bal die speler se hande verlaat, met inagneming daarvan dat fisiese wette bepaal dat die momentum van ‘n bewegende voorwerp hom vorentoe sal neem, selfs al was die aanvanklike rigting terugwaarts.

Neef Christo en mede-gebelgdes kan gerus weer gaan kyk wat gebeur het en veral luister na wat die TV-skeidsregter gesê het. Die hoek van die beeld wys Kriel van agter en met die aangee is sy hande voor sy lyf en gevolglik nie sigbaar nie.

Die TV-skeidsregter sê daar is geen duidelike bewys dat die bal vorentoe aangegee word nie (want hy kon nie die hande sien nie!) en hy sê ook dat die bal na die aangee vorentoe gesweef het (wat in ooreenstemming met genoemde fisiese wet kan wees).

Stem Oubal saam met hierdie interpretasie?

Glad nie, maar die TV-skeidsregter moet die voorskrifte van sy base volg en nie Oubal s’n nie. As ons dit wil verander, moet dit met WR opgeneem word eerder as om ons monde in die openbaar teen die verkeerde mense uit te spoel.

Neef Christo gaan laakbaar voort deur te sê dat die TV-skeidsregter in die BB’e se guns beslis het om op te maak vir sy beslissing met Grant Hattingh se non-drie die vorige week. Askies, maar was hy nie toe ook verbonde aan die BB nie?

Die vraag wat Oubal eintlik vir neef Christo wil vra, is hoekom hy niks sê van die drie Haaiverdedigers wat in posisie was om Tatoëerman te stuit, maar nie kon nie?
