POOLGATE

Tzaneen’s new R17-million state-of-the-art municipal swimming bath will remain closed to the general public indefinitely — because of the GTM’s failed exercise to train capable lifeguards two weeks ago. However, they do not admit to their failure; instead it is the GTM’s oﬃcial stance that the candidates featured in the two-day assessment can be trained within six months to be considered legitimate lifesavers. Until such time, no member of the public can make use of this excellent facility, paid for by their rates and taxes. The cost of this embarrassment is shrouded in mystery too, as the GTM avoided the issue in Bulletin’s oﬃcial enquiry on the matter. Not only was the question of cost completely ignored, but acting manager of communications for the GTM, Mr Neville Ndlala, shockingly also denied even the existence of a lifesaving programme. “We do not have such programme; it is something that we are planning for the next financial year.” However, later in the same document he rather confusingly stated that “the gentlemen from Ethekwini Municipality came to asses them (lifeguard candidates) and see if they were ready for the programme.” Ndlala also refuted reports of a local coach who had allegedly offered to train lifeguards free of charge, and denied any knowledge of meetings held to the contrary. The possibility of sourcing swimmers from local swimming clubs, or suggesting the applications be opened to competent individuals outside of the municipality, seems

Gold and gold tones are being used everywhere in the design world.

futile. “Due to internal issues, including salary disparities and a review of the organisational structure, we have been unable to appoint an external person considering the fact that we are busy with the process of job evaluation.” At R20 entrance per adult at the turnstiles, a closed swimming bath will be rather costly to any municipality. The GTM seems to be shifting its responsibilities in an effort to curb their loss of potential income and gain some benefits from the swimming bath in the interim. “The pool is, however, open to those who have their own lifesavers as well as schools and clubs that want to stage swimming competitions. This can only be done through application,” Ndlala said. Bulletin’s oﬃcial media enquiry and Ndlala’s response to it, can be read on page 3. It is clear that despite the contradictory statements and unanswered questions there remains one shocking truth: the residents of Tzaneen and surroundings will not be enjoying the poolside soon. • Also read “Our Opinion” on page 6 — Joe Dreyer

The heartbreaking face of the drought

Phidelia Rikhotso visited rural areas in the Mopani district during the past week. She was horrified by the impact of the drought and to see how desperate people dig into dry river beds for water. In next week’s Bulletin she will report in full on this tragedy.

Vlieg

Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...

Vlieg hoop nou nie dat hy vandeesweek die verkeerde perd opsaal nie, en hy wil regtig nou nie iemand aspris die hoenders in maak nie. Vlieg is egter lankal nie meer bang nie, want hy weet dat blaffende honde nie byt nie. Dit is wel lekker om oor allerhande koeitjies en kalfies verslag te doen, maar elke nou en dan is dit seker nodig om die bul by die horings te pak. Dit is darem nou nie asof Vlieg ou koeie uit die sloot gaan grawe nie. Almal praat en skryf nou hieroor. Vlieg is nie onder ‘n kalkoen uitgebroei nie en dis nie maklik om hom vir ‘n aap te hou nie. Vlieg wil ook nou nie die bobbejaan agter die bult gaan haal nie, maar hy ken jakkalsstreke die dag as hy hulle sien. Hoewel jakkals nou nie sy eie stert wil prys nie, het Vlieg al begin Afrikaans praat kort nadat hy nog ‘n bobbejaan was en daarom wil hy die aapstuipe kry as al wat leef wat soveel van die Taal weet as ‘n kat van saffraan, vir Vlieg en sy medeTaalpraters wil vertel wanneer hulle kwansuis rassiste is. Vlieg kan seker nou nie vir alle andersdenkende andersdenkendes praat nie, en allermins vir enige eendersdenkende eendersdenkende, maar Vlieg kan seker maar die aap uit die mou laat dat hy darem self weet wanneer hy ‘n rassis is. Dis die waarheid soos ‘n koei dat hier-

die lot se argumente geen hond haaraf maak dat Afrikaanssprekendes hulle met diere vergelyk nie. Wat Vlieg betref vis hulle op droë grond en dink dat ‘n koei ‘n haas kan vang. Dis in elk geval soos donkie wat vir langoor uitskel. As enige van hulle die moeite wou doen om die Afrikaanse idioom te verstaan, sou hulle donkiejare gelede al agtergekom het dat baie mak skape in een kraal ingaan. Maar nou is dit ongelukkig ‘n feit soos ‘n koei dat ‘n mens ‘n perd tot by die water kan bring, maar hom nie kan maak suip nie. Vlieg wil herinner dat dit ‘n verkniesingsjaar is waar die bokke van die skape geskei gaan word, en sonder om die kar voor die perde te wil inspan, moet hulle besef dat elke hond sy dag kry. Die koei wat die hardste bulk is nie noodwendig die een wat die meeste melk gee nie. Elke hond wil graag baas wees op sy eie werf,

Home Affairs has become a slick affair The Department of Home Affairs in the Tzaneng Mall has evolved into a well-oiled technologically up-to-date operation. Fearing a long day to sort out paperwork, I arrived at the doors on the first ﬂoor at 07:30. The notice on the door read: Opening times Monday to Friday 08:00 – 16:00 and Saturday 08:30 – 12:30. A suited man exited from the closed doors and told me to go downstairs. He then led me to the chemist downstairs, where people were sitting on the steps. That was the beginning of the hundred people deep queue. It went all the way down Danie Joubert Street to Ickinger’s. I fell in line. The traditionally dressed elderly man in front of me said he’d been on the road since 05:00. His ID had been stolen. At precisely 08:h00 the suited man began hurrying everyone along.

The Palace Theatre in Manhattan, New York, minutes. employs the same tactic with its queues when In years gone by a make-shift booth around it’s opening time. Everyone was up those the corner got you your necessary photos. stairs and inside Home Affairs within fifteen This man is still outside Home Affairs with his billboard of photos and charges R30 for passport photos. He’s oblivious to the fact that Home Affairs now takes its own photos and these are included in the fees. The smart card, that replaces the ID, costs R140. It is free for senior citizens. A passport costs R400. There was zero paperwork to be filled in as this has been replaced with fingerprinting and electronic signatures. The thumb and fingerprinting machines appear fragile but aren’t. It’s advisable to press down hard on the glass to get an acceptable reading. All was completed by 08:45 and, whilst walking down the stairs seconds later, the sms came through confirming the applications. — Sue Ettmayr sue@bulletin.us.com

maar dis jou eie honde wat die seerste byt. Daar is ‘n paar geveinsde jakkalse daarbuite, en al dra ‘n aap ‘n goue ring, hy is en bly ‘n lelike ding. As ons vir wolf gaan skaapwagter maak, kom ons almal kaal jakkalse anderkant uit. Vlieg beveel aan dat ons maar die kat mooi uit die boom kyk, want een brandsiek skaap steek die hele trop aan. Ons sal nie ‘n kat se kans hê as al hierdie klein jakkalsies die wingerd verniel het nie, en as ons verkeerd kies is ons almal so rooi soos ‘n kalkoen. Vlieg besef ook dat ons moet onthou as twee honde baklei oor ‘n been gaan die derde daarmee heen — en dan gaan ons soos kat en hond lewe totdat die perde horings kry of totdat hoenders tande kry. Intussen drink Vlieg maar soos ‘n vis en gaan slaap saam met die hoenders in die hoop dat agteros ook in die kraal kom!

POOLGATE II In regards to the GTM’s lifesavers programme, the candidates, their assessment and training we submitted the following questions to the municipality. Their spokesperson, Mr Neville Ndlala, responded as follows (our questions are numbered and in black, whilst his answers are in red [verbatim]): 1. What was the total cost incurred by the GTM for the travel, accommodation, remuneration and transport of the visiting coaches from KZN and was this an assessment or the start of training as you described it in your video interview? • No reply or comment from Ndlala! Why not, we wonder. 2. We are told that a local coach offered to conduct the training of lifeguards free of charge as a community service. Can you confirm this and if so, why did the GTM decline his offer? • We are not aware of any formal offer from any local coach to train lifesavers, if there is evidence of correspondence that evidence can be brought forward. 3. One of the prerequisites for candidates to enter a lifesaving program according to the SA Qualifications Authority is the ability to swim 100 meters (two lengths of the municipal bath) in two minutes. Judging by the performances of the candidates, they lack even the most basic aquatic dexterity. Why were local swimmers, from the SHAMU club for example, not invited to apply for the lifesaving programme? The average ten-year-old swimmer from swimming clubs can complete 100 meters freestyle in less than two minutes. • Due to internal issues that are currently being addressed such as salary disparities, review of the organisational structure, we have been unable to appoint an external person considering the fact that we are busy with the

process of job evaluation. 4. When will the swimming bath be open to the general public? In your status update on Facebook on 19 January 2016 you told the public that it would be open within a

week. • The swimming pool will only be open to the public only when there is a legitimate, qualified competent life saver, until then we cannot say when and the pool will remain closed to the general public. The pool is however opened to those who have their lifesavers as well as schools and clubs that want to stage swimming competitions. This can only be done through application. 5. Will the lifesavers be permanent employees of the GTM, for this purpose specifically? • At the present moment we are looking at a temporary basis, we will however appoint a full time lifesaver/s in the near future. 6. Who will handle the future training of the lifeguards? • This is matter that will be looked into as time progresses and as finances permits and necessitates. 7. One of the participants in your lifeguard training project admitted in an online comment that he cannot swim, yet the KZN coach, Gopaul Pillay, assessed the four candidates and said that they were swimmers who (just) need to brush up on their skills. Do you agree with his statement or would the GTM admit that this was a failed exercise and be willing to open the lifesaving applications to actual swimmers? •The coach is an expert in the field, he is currently looking after 52 public swimming pools in Ethekwini, his assessment was honest and we believe him. He said the guys are not ready and need at least 3-6 months daily training of one hour. 8. What is the budget allocated to the lifeguard programme? • We do not have such programme; it is something that we are planning for the next financial year.

Die Laerskool Tzaneen se interhuis-atletiekbyeenkoms het vir ‘n dag se pret én mooi at-

letiek gesorg. Die byeenkoms is versier deur ‘n kleureskouspel deur leerlinge.

...and ‘Fountaingate’ We also asked the GTM about the newly renovated water fountain in front of the

municipal building in Agatha Street. Their replies (verbatim) are in red:

1. Why has the fountain run dry in more or less mid-December? • The pump machine has problems and has been taken for repairs 2. Who was the contractor appointed to fix the fountain towards the end of 2015? • Corner 2 Corner, it a local company 3. How much will it cost to repair the fountain this time, and when will it be up and running again? • There won’t be any cost to the municipality, Corner to Corner it responsible for the repairs 4. Was a tender put out to prospective con-

tractors to repair the faulty fountain or has this been allocated to the maintenance department of the GTM? • Because the amount is less that R200 000, the appointment was done on a quotation basis 5. Why has it not been fixed yet, considering the fountain has been standing empty for longer than a month now, and is becoming the target of mockery aimed at the management of the GTM? • The pump has been taken for repairs by the contractor and a soon as its fixed the fountain will start functioning.

Our Opinion

The Message

Ongeluk wat plek soek...

29 January 2016 Dr Jan Truter Ned Herv Kerk Letsitele

Bad communication The Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s acting communications oﬃcer and also official spokesperson for the GTM should be advised by his employer to study the basics of good communication. Furthermore it would serve him (his reputation as a spokesperson) and his employer well to learn to respect the truth, to work with the facts and to accept that they are not the untouchable masters of the public. They are there (and getting paid damn well for it) to serve the public and especially their ratepayers. In the latest round the spokesperson deemed it necessary to lecture our journalists on the ethics and conduct in the print media, instead of supplying us with proper answers to our questions. His is more or less the last person to lecture anybody on ethics and conduct, and we shall tell our readers (and the public at large) next week how he can manipulate and/or ignore facts. He is also one of those politically driven public oﬃcials who call people racist if he can’t win an argument... and then fails miserably to substantiate his allegations, when confronted and challenged to submit proof for his wild, irresponsible and uncalled for allegations. We have been rather patient with this man, but we have now come to the point where we shall state and substantiate his rather suspicious conduct.

Motoriste in Tzaneen raak toenemend gefrustreerd met straatsmouse wat in een van die dorp se besigste straatkruisings die verkeer ontwrig en ‘n gevaar vir hulself en motoriste skep. Die kruising van Danie Joubert-straat, Loopstraat en die Ou Gravelotte-weg wemel sommige dae van smouse wat tussen bewegende en stilstaande voertuie beweeg om hul produkte aan te bied. Onskuldige voetgangers wat daar stap (baie van hulle is werkers by die Tzaneen Lifestyle-sentrum en die MediClinic Tzaneen wat van of na hul werkplekke onderweg is) se veiligheid word onnodig bedreig en dit geld ook vir motoriste wat net nie genoeg oë het om die verkeer en voetgangers en die smouse dop te hou nie. Dit lyk nie of Tzaneen se verkeerslui of die munisipale bestuur/stadsraad oor verkeersorde in die dorp bekommerd is nie.

Ter voorbereiding vir die plaaslike verkiesings later vanjaar, is die DA besig om landwyd kandidate te selekteer. Ek het, om verskeie persoonlike redes, besluit om my nie weer verkiesbaar te stel nie. Aan almal vir wie ek iets kon beteken het, is ek dankbaar, en vir diegene wat ek nie kon help nie, is ek jammer. In beide gevalle gee ek alle eer aan God want Hy bepaal watter deure vir ons oop- en toegaan. Voorts is ek trots om te weet dat ek alles met

Oliver Cromwell (1599 - 1658) het geweldige diep spore in Engeland se geskiedenis getrap. Hy is in 2002 deur ‘n meningspeiling van die BBC aangewys as een van Brittanje se belangrikste persone wat ‘n invloed op die Britse geskiedenis gehad het. Hy het die volgende wonderlike verhaal nagelaat in sy geskiedenis… In ‘n stadium het hy ‘n jong soldaat tot die dood veroordeel. Die soldaat sou voor ’n vuurpeloton sterf, sodra die aandklokkespel begin. Die bestemde uur het aangebreek en alles was gereed om die vonnis te voltrek… maar die klok wou nie lui nie! Wagte word toe in die toring opgestuur om te gaan kyk wat aan die gang is en waarom die klokke nie lui nie. Hulle kry toe ‘n jong meisie, met wie die soldaat sou trou, waar sy aan die groot klok se klepel vasklou, om die klok te verhinder om te lui. Haar arms en skouers was gekneus en haar hande was bebloed en stukkend geslaan van die geweld waarmee die klok heen en weer geswaai het. Die soldate het vir Cromwell gaan vertel wat aan die gang is. Die liefde van ‘n jong vrou het Cromwell so diep geraak dat hy uitgeroep het: “Jou geliefde sal leef. Jy het jouself geoﬀer. Jy het hom met jou eie lewe losgekoop. Hy sal nie sterf nie!” Hierdie menslike verhaal vertolk iets van wat die Here Jesus vir óns gedoen het! Ons is almal sondaars en rebelleer teen God en is so skuldig dat ons die doodsvonnis verdien. Jesus het egter vir ons ingetree. Hy het sy liggaam geoffer en die klok van God se oordeel oor ons vasgegryp, sodat dit nie lui nie en ons sodoende van die ewige straf gered. Op grond van Christus se offerdood aan die kruis is ons vrygespreek van die ewige dood. “Daar is dus nou geen veroordeling vir dié wat in Christus Jesus is nie… Hy het die sonde binne die sondige bestaan van die mens veroordeel, deur sy eie Seun in dieselfde gestalte as die sondige mens as ‘n oﬀer vir die sonde te stuur” (Romeine 8:1 & 3).

Briewe • Letters integriteit gedoen het; ‘n genadegawe wat nie alle politici beskore is nie. Aan die duisende mense in Tzaneen wie se lojaliteit ek geniet, baie dankie daarvoor. Aan diegene wat my gedurende hierdie twee termyne ondersteun, verdra en gehelp het, ‘n besonder hartlike dankie. Sonder julle insette sou ek nie die gemeenskap kon dien nie; dit geld vir my onderskeie komitees, persoonlike vriende, talle van die GTM se amptenare en beide plaaslike koerante. Danksy julle het ons veral in Wyk 14 presteer en relatief goeie dienslewering geniet. Kom ons maak seker dat ons almal korrek geregistreer is as kiesers, en dat ons die voorreg benut om ons kruisies te gaan trek.

Let wel: Hulle sê nie so nie! • Die pad van Tzaneen na Kgapane via Deerpark is nie snags die veiligste pad in die omgewing nie. Vir sommige raak dit gevaarliker, hoe nader aan Kgapane hulle kom, vir ander raak dit gevaarliker hoe nader hulle aan Tzaneen kom. Dit hang net af van waar die agente van die onwettige goed wag — op hul verskaffers of op hul klante. Snuif-snuif, ons storie oor die voorval is uit... • Dit help nie om met die een hand traktaatjies uit te deel en hoog geestelik voor te gee en met die ander hand jou skuldeisers te bedrieg nie. Een of ander tyd gaan iets oorkook, en dit het klaarblyklik nou gebeur. Die pap het aangebrand... • So van geestelik gepraat: Dis nou slim om jou voertuig in te ruil vir dieselfde model met dieselfde kleur, sodat die gemeentelede nie so maklik kan besef jy het ‘n nuwe wa uitgetrek nie. Veral natuurlik as jou gemeentelede bekommerd is oor die gemeente se finansies. Maar nou ja, die betrokke geestelike is al wyd bekend vir sy finansiële goëltoertjies. En daar is nóg wat sal uitkom... • Rassisme is nou hoër op Suid-Afrikaners se sakelys, so lyk dit, as die ekonomie wat aan ﬂarde is. Ons hoor “attitudes” is volgende op die lys, om gelyk aan rassisme gestel te word. Né dokter...

Building a legacy the Department of Communications, to train young people from mostly disadvantaged communities countrywide, in television and radio production. That was in 2001. That became her entry into an industry that made her what she is today. Molatelo’s beginning steps towards climbing the corporate ladder emerged in 2003, when she began her first business as an incubator of the Department of Communications, but she kept her day job and ran her businesses on the side. As the years went by she found herself moving from one organisation to the next. “There was this constant and growing urge that I was in fact wasting the time I could be using to grow the business and benefit others”. In 2009 she produced her first Khelobedu film that’s currently showing on Mzansi Magic, called Nnakotse. It was at this point that she decided to establish a film making project at her home village; and she is now training young people in television and film production. In 2013 she decided to resign from the job to focus on her business and projects. Although it’s hard and challenging she can look back and say, “It’s a decision I would make over and over again. It’s fulfilling”. On a freelance basis she wrote documentaries which aired on SABC, including one entitled Rwanda: Rise Dry Bones, a documentary entitled Makhwaya on eTV, and another one for SABC 2 entitled A Helping Hand (both were broadcast in 2013). Besides that Molatelo produced a long list of films. When asked what it has taken to get her to where she is right now her response was “Hard

As a natural storyteller and community builder, she finds television and film fulfilling especially when she finally gets to see an idea turned into a product and often seen by the masses. It’s the feedback that we often get from people that makes us want to achieve more.

Molatelo Maenetje’s ambitious project to push boundaries and explore beyond the road less travelled, has made her to receive mixed reviews and exploring the world. Molatelo is an award-winning TV producer, video director and documentary film maker. She’s the founder of the Bolobathaba Film Project based at Mokwakwaila, has worked as a trainee video editor at Generations on SABC1, worked for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Africa Bureau as a local producer and eNews Channel Africa (eNCA) as a news collector and later as a producer. She is a board member and secretary of the Documentary Filmmakers Association of SA. Molatelo explains growing up at Block 5 at gaModjadji and attending schools in remote villages as a daunting task; there were so many things to do in the bush then. “I’ve fond memories of how we used to pick wild fruits and vegetables, or play in the ﬂowing streams or collect water or firewood. We didn’t have access to TV and other things that kids have access to today. A lot of us girls in my village, not just boys, did look after their parents’ goats, cows or sheep. I did this too at some point and I loved it. It was tough though, and if one goat didn’t return home I would get a lashing from my mother,” she said with a giggle. She would not even have thought she would one day be the businesswoman which she is, let alone to find herself in the television and film industry. Her ultimate big break in the industry was being chosen as part of the first intake of students at the then newly established National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa (NEMISA). She obtained a post-graduate Diploma in TV Production from the Institute. The institute was an initiative by

Dit reën tassies in Mopani Sestig gr 1’s in Tzaneen, Modjadjiskloof en Letsitele het skooltassies as geskenk ontvang. Die Solidariteit Helpende Hand-takke in die omgewing het hard gewerk om seker te maak die kinders is reg vir hul eerste skooldag. Die tassies is aan die Laerskool Tzaneen, die Laerskool Duiwelskloof en die Laerskool Dr Annecke oorhandig — tot groot vreugde van die skoolhoofde en personeellede. “Ons is baie dankbaar vir die tassies. Daar is so baie swaarkry dat dit ’n mens se gemoed goed doen om kinders te help,” het mnr Vic Rĳnen, die Laerskool Tzaneen se hoof gesê. “Helpende Hand glo dat armoede aangepak kan word deur in opleiding te belê, en dit begin reeds met die gevoel van hoop wat by gr 1’s geskep word, wanneer hulle die nodige skoolgoedjies kry en hulle ’n gelyke geleentheid gebied word,” sê Dr Danie Brink,

Helpende Hand se uitvoerende direkteur. Elke skooltassie het al die nodige skryfbehoeftes bevat, maar vanjaar is daar ŉ paar bykomende goed, onder meer ’n teddiebeer, om ‘n ekstra bietjie liefde vir die kinders te gee. Altesame 4 762 tassies is vanjaar aan behoeftige gr 1’s geskenk en die totale waarde van die projek is nagenoeg R1,8 miljoen. Jy kan help om kinders se “Eendag as ek groot is”droom te bewaarheid. SMS die woord “Tassie” na 38969 om R10 te skenk, wat kan bydra om ŉ tassie vol skryfbehoeftes te maak. Helpende Hand se takke in Tzaneen en Letsitele is passievol om kinders te bemagtig. Die tassieprojek is die eerste van verskeie projekte wat beplan word. Vir meer inligting: Marianthie van der Walt by 082 741 7858 of e-pos by marianthie@ helpendehand.co.za.

The municipality owed legal fees on an issue that was settled out of court which involved Star Mills requesting documents from the GLM through court. The GLM then decided to hand in the documents to the company which meant that the issue had to be settled out of court with the GLM paying the legal bill owed by Star Mills to its lawyers. The money amounted to R17 512,07. The GLM’s assets will not be attached.

Merensky athletes prove their worth On Saturday Merensky’s athletics team travelled to Hoërskool Louis Trichardt for the first friendly meeting of 2016. Participating schools were Louis Trichardt, Noorderland, Falcon Crest, Eric

Louw, Groblersdal Academy and Ridgeway College. Merensky reigned victorious with a superb score of 840 points. Louis Trichardt came second with 654 points. No less than five new records were set by Plasie Oppie Kassie athletes: Steph-Marie de Lange (girls u.15) On the Telly

90 m hurdles 15,90, Seth Lathane (boys u.15) 300 m hurdles 42,70s, Delean O’Neill (girls u.16) javelin 25,43, Lilly Pohl (girls u.17) javelin 33,65 and Noko Malatji (boys u.17) 110 m hurdles 14,90. Merensky also walked away with six of the eight individual trophies: Steph-Marie de Lange, best junior track athlete; Sindi

Kappa, best junior field athlete; Christelle Coetzer, senior track athlete; Taytum Cawood, senior field athlete; Tristan Patrick, junior field athlete and Noko Malatji, senior track athlete. The next Merensky athletics event is today (29 January) at Rob Ferreira High School in White River. ABOVE: Taytum Cawood in action in the 100 m hurdles.

SA en Nieu-Seeland hervat rugbystryd Die jaar het skaars begin, maar Suid-Afrika en Nieu-Seeland spring al weer dié naweek op die rugbyveld aanmekaar. En al duur dié kragmeting in die eerste ronde van die internasionale sewestoernooi in Wellington kwalik ŉ kwartier, sal dit seker een van die hoogtepunte van die naweek se regstreekse sportuitsendings op televisie wees. Die eindstryd word Sondagoggend afgehandel net voordat die beslissende kragmeting in die enkelspel vir mans in die Australiese tennistoernooi in Melbourne begin. Krieketliefhebbers kan hulle aan die nostalgie oorgee wanneer Jacques Kallis, Graeme Smith, Jonty Rhodes, Herschelle Gibbs, Robin Peterson en Alviro Petersen saam met ŉ klomp ander eertydse krieketsterre in die Meestersreeks in Doebai en Sjarjah meeding. Dié wedstryde, asook die groot perdewedren (en modevertoning) in Kaapstad, word regstreeks uitgesaai.

1. Christelle Coetzer, 2. Anri McLean, 3. Michelle Stevens blasted everybode else off the track in the 3000 m girls u.19 event.

The tournament will be made up of six teams in its first year, with a total of 90 players taking part — 15 members per squad. The players must all have been former international cricketers who are now retired from all forms of the professional sport. The MCL has received a ten-year approval from the Emirates Cricket Board, and inaugural season of the tournament will take place over two weeks in Dubai and Sharjah.

Merensky tennis has announced the names of their captains for the 2016 season. Altacia Gubitz will lead the female squad and Blake Linder will ensure that the promising Nadals will excell on the Plasie courts.

Merensky cricket starts with a bang Merensky High School’s 1st and u.15 cricket teams competed against Hoërskool Kempton Park in the Super League on Saturday. The u.15 boys triumphed with seven wickets in hand. The 1st team won with two runs in a nail biting match. Best 1st team batsmen were Nyiko Shikwambana and Timothy Elphinstone; Alex Jardim and Ruurd Jacobs excelled with good bowling figures On Wednesday the Plasie first team continued the Pro 20 challenge against Nkowankowa at Merensky. Merensky went in to bat first and scored 132 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. Nkowankowa finished the game with only 54 runs on the score board. Merensky won the game with 78 runs. Merensky’s Timothy Elphinstone scored 58 runs and took 3 wickets within 10 runs. Nyiko Shikwambana and Alex Jardim also played well, with 25 runs and 2 wickets respectively. Merensky played their next T20 game against Stanford Lake College on Wednesday (27 January).

Champion Francois Maritz (below left), who matriculated at Merensky, competed in the SA raw (without any equipment) powerlifting championships. He broke the SA junior ánd senior squat records and was also placed first overall. He then participated in the SA Equipped Powerlifting Championships where he also took first place in his category. He was chosen to represent SA in the Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships and Commonwealth Bench Press Championships in Canada, where he achieved outstanding results. Gold for bench press (175 kg), silver for squat (270 kg) and deadlifted 290 kg. He then won bronze over all. He also won gold for the Bench Press Championships. He will compete in the World Bench Press Championships in June/July.

Lees Oubal verlede naweek dat pres Robert Mugabe ‘n beroep op joernaliste gedoen het om positiewe stories te skryf. Skryf liewers oor sokker, iets waarmee Afrika goed is, sê die oubaas. Oubal aanvaar hy beskou Zimbabwe en Suid-Afrika as deel van die grootste kontinent! ‘Tja, Onkel Bob, dis ‘n tall order, soos Oubal se oorlede ou moeder sou gesê het. In die eerste plek is Oubal eerder ‘n kommentator as ‘n joernalis en tweedens skryf hy nie eintlik oor sokker nie, soos wat sy paar aanhangers weet. Maar soms kan Oubal homself nie help nie, soos wanneer SA nie eers kwalifiseer vir die 2016 Afrikanasies Kampioenskapstoernooi nie en Zimbabwe, met nog ‘n wedstryd oor in die uitspeelrondes, reeds uitgeskakel is. Maar Oubal hét ‘n goeie storie om te vertel, Onkel Bob — ons Proteas het hulle eerste toets in meer as ‘n jaar gewen! Toegegee, dit was ‘n “dooie uitveër”—toets nadat jou aartsvyand, Engeland, reeds die reeks gewen het, maar daar het baie gebeur om Oubal hoop te gee. Die keurders se oë het uiteindelik oopgegaan nadat Oubal en ‘n duisend ander kommentators daarop gewys het dat Stephen Cook die kolfbeurt moet open. En toe kolf hy só goed, Onkel Bob, dat Oubal vermoed die keurders gaan oor

Team Hanekom raises Litchi Cup yet again The past weekend saw this year’s instalment of the annual Litchi Tournament held on the pristine greens of the Tzaneen Bowling Club. Entries this year saw players from across the province, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and even three teams from Zimbabwe vie for the honour of tournament champions. The blistering heat was no deterrent for the 28 teams who arrived on Friday afternoon to inspect the greens before the start of the competition on Saturday. The teams consisted of four players who would face-off in seven games each consisting of eleven heads. Saturday started with elimination rounds where fourteen teams made it through to the finals. The remaining fourteen were locked in battle for the tournament plate. In what was labelled as a battle royale on the top green, Francois Hanekom and his team fought valiantly in a final showdown against the squad of Damian Stefaans in a gruelling match that ultimately ended in Hanekom’s favour.

Goeie Nuus, Uncle Bob!

Although they lost the last game, team Hanekom had managed enough points throughout the preceding games to ensure a 67/63 victory to raise the cup for the third time in the fourteen years of the tournament’s existence. Their victory this year not only ensured that the silverware remained in the Tzaneen Clubhouse, but also earned them the title of the team with the most tournament wins since its inception in 2002. “On behalf of the management of the Tzaneen Bowls Club, we would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to each member of the club who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this year’s tournament,” said Mr Ben Pretorius. “We are very privileged also to have such amazing sponsors who make this competition a reality with their invaluable contributions each year. For that we thank you.” —Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Morkel inspireer om vir ‘n slag sy aansienlike rug te buig om ‘n paar goeie balle te boul. Oubal het al in die verlede hier gerapporteer oor die jongman se nederigheid en innemendheid, maar dit het in hierdie toets weer duidelik geword dat ons met ‘n baie spesiale talent en mens te doen het. Sy lof is besing deur niemand anders nie as Michael Holding, op sy dag bekend as Wes-Indië se “Whispering Death” — ontmoet “Whispering Death II”, van SA, Onkel! ‘Tja, maar elke silwer rand het ‘n donker wolkie, Onkel Bob. Dit lyk vir Oubal of AB nou ook deur die kapteinskap gemuilband is tot nulletjies, sommer drie agtereenvolgend, wat een of ander AB-rekord moet wees. Dit sal ook lekker wees om ‘n toets te kan begin of eindig sonder beserings aan van ons voorste snelboulers. En, helaas, Oubal weet nie wat ons met Faf en Duminy moet doen nie, maar dit smaak hom hul dae is getel. Nogtans, Onkel Bob, is ons darem nog No 3 op krieket se toetsranglys, wat aansienlik beter is as SA se 74ste en Zimbabwe se 108ste op die sokkerranglys. Sorrie!

die volgende paar maande hulle rooi gesigte toeskryf aan sonbrand wat hulle oor vyf dae op Centurion opgedoen het. Baardman Amla lyk ook skielik weer na die gehalte kolwer wat ons leer ken het, noudat hy nie meer deur die kapteinskap gekniehalter word nie, en hopelik het Lofty Bavuma nou die kwotaskreeuers se monde stil gekolf. Om die kroon te span, my Kroon, het Kokkie de Kock nou vir ons die antwoord gegee as paaltjiewagter-kolwer. Ons gesukkel bo-aan die kolﬂys én in die middelorde is met een fel swiep uit die weg gevee, Onkel! Maar die beste storie is dat daar lewe na Dale Steyn is, Onkel. Oubal is normaalweg nie op sy bek geval nie, maar hy het nie genoeg woorde om Kagiso Rabada mee te besing nie. Nie net het die jongeling feitlik man-alleen die Engelse “Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like stukkend geboul nie, maar hy kon selfs ‘n lustelose Morné molasses.” — Tracey Morgan

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en personeel van die koerant nie!
