Why it pays to take Grade 11 as seriously as Matric What pupils and parents don’t realise, is that Grade 11 can arguably be considered as important, if not more so, than one’s final year, an education expert says.

Throughout one’s school career Grade 12 is viewed as the ultimate year, the year in which you have to account for what you learned in the decade before, and the year whose results will follow you for the rest of your life.

“There are at least five reasons why Grade 11 pupils should take this year very seriously, and put as much effort into it as they will next year,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of The Independent Institute of Education — SA’s largest and most accredited private higher education provider.

She says the penultimate school year is a significant one because it provides: 1) Insurance “The effort you put into Grade 11 can be considered as insurance should something go awry in the future,” says Coughlan.

“There are an increasing number of institutions that make provisional offers based on your Grade 11 results, and many will still admit you even if your Grade 12 is a little less strong. But if your results in Grade 11 are weak, you have nothing to fall back on.”

2) Exam focus Teachers set Grade 11 exams to mimic the format and complexity of grade 12, says Coughlan. “That means that taking your Grade 11 exams seriously will help you understand how you are doing and how ready you will be for your final exams. It helps you to work out where you need to apply more focus. “This year’s exams provide a measure

of where you are, and should be treated as part of your preparation for your finals.”

3) Opportunity to experiment Coughlan says that Grade 11 allows some time for experimenting before crunch-time arrives. “Learn new study methods and stress management methods, and experiment with things you have not done before, like study groups and mind maps. Finding a variety of study techniques and approaches that work for you will allow you to enter Grade 12 with a revision system that will make you perform at your best.”

4) Opportunity to test timing If you keep good track of how long it takes you to master different kinds of work, that will allow you to draw up an accurate study plan next year. “Knowing your pace of work means you will be able to revise with enough time allocated right from the start, so that you don’t run out of days before you run out of work to revise.”

5) A chance to carefully evaluate postmatric options Assessing their Grade 11 results and performance empower pupils to make better decisions about their post-school direction, including about which options are available to them, what courses to apply for and where.

“Pupils should start working out their ‘points’ for higher education entrance from Grade 10,” says Coughlan. “This means they should thoroughly research the courses they want to study and the results they need for

Dr Felicity Couglan

their application to be accepted. In Grade 11, pupils are then able to monitor how realistic their aspirations are and where they need to do more work, which will reduce uncertainty when applying.”

Matric does not start in your last year of school, Coughlan says. “Matric is not a yearlong event, but rather a two-year long project. If you start applying your mind to your final exams right now and take the long view coupled with a strategy, you will be able to deliver your absolute best when you sit for your finals in a year and a half’s time, and significantly improve your chances of being able to follow your dream post-Matric.”

Boere juig oor goeie reën

‘n Groot deel van Limpopo se boere juig oor die welkome reën van die afgelope twee weke en is vol moed dat nog neerslae op pad is, voor die droë wintermaande aanbreek.

Die Tzaneen-dam is steeds laag, maar die watervlak het verlede week van 29,9% na 34,5% gestyg. Intussen het nog buie uitgesak, maar die jongste styging sal eers volgende week bekend wees.

Modjadjiskloof, Magoebaskloof en Haenertsburg het ‘n stewige kwota reënwater ontvang, met berigte van tot meer as 600 mm in die bergstreke. Tussen Modjadjiskloof en Mooketsi het mnr Hill Klinkert binne vier dae 150 mm op sy plaas gemeet.

In die Deerpark-omgewing is dit veral mango-boere wat glimlag. Die oes is af en snoeiwerk is gedoen. Nou help die reën met nuwe bloeisels, sodat noodsaaklike spuitprogramme aangepak kan word, sê mnr Theuns Botha van die plaas Platland. Volgens hom het sy omgewing net minder as 200 mm die afgelope tien dae gemeet.

Aan Tzaneen se oostekant het die boere van

Reënpaddatjies word nie groot nie, maar dié knewel van ‘n reënpadda was dalk ‘n voorteken van groot reën wat aan die kom was. Me Nicky Altenroxel van Tzaneen het die meneertjie in ‘n boom by haar huis in Tzaneen opgemerk. Hy het heel gewillig toegelaat dat sy die foto van hom kon neem.

Die plaasdam van mnr Gideon Goosen in die Harmonieblok was kurkdroog en die goeie reën het dit binne ses uur laat noorloop. Hy boer langs die Selatirivier, wat in vloed was.

Letsitele goeie neerslae geniet en die vlakke van besproeiingsdamme laat lig. Daar is

egter nog dele wat met leë damme sit.

Die Selatirivier was verlede naweek feitlik

in vloed en groenteboere in die Harmoniedistrik is hoogs in hul skik. Syfers van 80 mm en meer is op verskeie plase in die omgewing aangeteken. Mnr Gideon Goosen van Harmonie het Maandag trots gestaan en kyk hoe sy dam oorloop.

Volgens hom het dit net ses ure geduur om die leë dam van meer as ‘n miljoen kubieke meter te vul.

Die prentjie is egter nie vir almal so rooskleurig nie. Mnr Pieter Vorster, die voorsitter van AgriLetaba, sê vee- en wildboere kan nog vorentoe swaartrek, want die gras moet eers ontkiem voor daar behoorlike weiveld is. Hulle het weens die droogte heelwat kleiner kuddes. Dis veral die opkomende veeboere wat teen skuld sal moet baklei, om hul kuddes weer op te bou.

Vorster sê die fonds vir droogtehulp, wat

by AgriLetaba se vergadering aangekondig is, staan steeds op R10 000. Volgens sy kennis is geen ander bydraes as dié van BB Motors ontvang nie. Die geld sal eersdaags oorhandig word aan ‘n boer of boere in die gemeenskap waar die nood die ergste druk.

More traffic officers have been deployed for Easter weekend More traffic law enforcers have been deployed along major routes of Limpopo, in preparation for the Easter holidays.

This was announced by Limpopo’s MEC for Transport, Safety, Security and Liaison, Ms Mapula Mokaba-Phukwana, at the funeral service for four people who died in die horrific bus accident in Georges Valley two weeks ago.

The accident left ten people dead. The mass burial of the four people was held

at Mashishimale outside Phalaborwa. A memorial service for the other seven accident victims was held in Nkowankowa.

The memorial service was attended by hundreds of people, most of them being members of the Zion Christian Church and the St Engenas Zion Christian Church. Representatives from the Great North Transport bus company and the Road Accident Fund were also in attendance.

Mokaba-Phukwana also appealed to church leaders, community leaders and teachers to promote road safety.

Investigations into the cause of the accident continue. Also see page 4 for the latest about the Georges Valley road that has been closed to general traffic.

Foreseen: Georges Valley sinkhole collapses

The dangerous sinkhole on the R528 Georges Valley road has collapsed rendering the route unsafe for motor vehicles. Motorists were warned of a dangerous sinkhole forming in the middle of this road in last week’s Bulletin.

Less than 48 hours after an inspection team visited the scene — on request from members of the Georges Valley Residents Association — and determined the route to be unsafe, the inevitable happened.

Bulletin published a video highlighting the dangers of travelling on this road on Monday. The video went viral and in a matter of hours reached more than 170 000 viewers over social media. The viewers condemned local and provincial authorities for their failure to react to the warning signs before this disaster occurred, and their seeming reluctance to remedy the situation.

The sinkhole has been cordoned off with barrier tape and 44 gallon drums. Large signs have been placed on either side of the hole to warn motorists of the impending

danger, should they pass by it. The opposite side of the road, as one travels from Haenertsburg in the direction of Tzaneen, has been semi-closed with two large heaps of rubble and sand placed a few metres from the hole. A small section was cleared in the centre of this heap to allow light motor vehicles to pass through. No other warnings have been placed anywhere in the vicinity of this hazard which leaves motorists with no clue as to what awaits them, as they round the blind corner flanking the sinkhole in either direction.

Local provincial traffic chief Victor Khumalo was on the scene on Monday and Tuesday and expressed his concern over the matter. “This is a very serious situation and we have to have this road repaired as

Friday

a matter of urgency. The road signs we have placed here to warn people to be cautious have been moved out of the way by someone.

Initially we thought it might be the residents,

but we now believe that it might be someone looking to make money from the damaged vehicles that will need to be towed away.”

According to the Department of Transport, the coming Easter weekend is of great concern to them. “We urge all road users and especially the bus and truck drivers not to use the Goerges Valley road. It is not suitable for use, but we have made provision for the residents who live along that route to be able to do their daily commute. At this stage the Department of Public Works has appointed a contractor which will commence reparation work on that site as soon as this week,” said spokesperson Kagiso Mootane. “Our law enforcement will be mobilized to see to those people who are risking the lives of other road users by removing the barricades we have placed there.”

Probleem woed voort Die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se oes van vrot vrugte is nog lank nie afgehandel nie. Trouens, dit het nog skaars momentum gekry.

Die ellende van ‘n hele paar drome wat in stukke op die ashoop lê is daar: GTeda se suksesse is maar skraal, hul begroting in ag genome; die droom van ‘n eie radiostasie (GTfm) het ‘n nagmerrie geword; die vordering met Tzaneen se elektrisiteitnetwerk loop teen ‘n slakkepas (as dit wel beweeg), want daar is nie geld nie; daar is meer hofsake deur die GTM verloor as beskikbare vingers om te tel, teen ‘n groot koste van miljoene rand vir die arme belastingbetalers; die vakbond Samwu (SA Munisipale Werkersunie) is de facto in beheer van die GTM; ensovoorts, en dies meer. Die lys is baie langer as die enkele voorbeelde hierbo.

Nou is die GTM se lamsakkige hantering van die informele sektor in Tzaneen (die smouse) ook besig om ‘n nuwe dimensie te betree, waar die misbruik van winkelwaentjies ook op die GTM se brood gesmeer word. Ten regte.

Dit is nie net die winkeleienaars wat groot verliese weens die misbruik/ diefstal van winkelwaentjies ly nie, maar belastingbetalers wat reeds leeg gemelk word, blyk nou duidelik ook ‘n erg lydende party in dié wanordelike misbruik van ander se eiendom te wees.

Dit is hoog tyd vir ‘n nuwe raad. Maar sal dit beter gaan?

Die hoofnuus was die moedelose gesukkel van boere en die SA Polisiediens om ‘n skut vir loslopende (rondloper) diere in die Letaba-streek te vestig. Ander voorbladnuus was die voorsitter van die MediClinic Tzaneen, dr Ig van Rensburg, wat gesê het die eerste vyf maande van die hospitaal was “gesonde maande”. Hy het bygevoeg dat ‘n tweede spesialis (‘n sjirurg) op pad is en ‘n derde (‘n ginekoloog) kort daarna ook hier kom vestig.

Beelde Die verhaal word vertel van ‘n jong seuntjie wat elke dag op pad skool toe en terug by ‘n beeldhouer se huis verby gestap het.

In die tuin van die beeldhouer was daar die mooiste beelde en die seuntjie het hom daaraan verwonder. In so ‘n mate dat hy dikwels laat was vir skool. Die ding wat sy aandag veral vasgevang het, was ‘n groot vierkantige rotsblok in die middel van die tuin.

Hy kon nooit uitmaak presies wat dit is nie. Op ‘n dag, terwyl hy so na die rotsblok staan en staar, het die beeldhouer uitgekom en met die seuntjie begin praat.

“Ek sien jy staar elke dag so na die beelde?” “Ja, meneer,” het hy gesê. “Ek kan al uitmaak wat elke beeld is, maar die vierkantige rotsblok in die middel van die tuin, dit verstaan ek nie?” “O, dis ‘n ruiter en ‘n perd,” het die beeldhouer geantwoord.

Verbaas het die seuntjie uitgeroep: “’n Ruiter en ‘n perd! Dit lyk nie vir my so nie?” “Kom ek wys jou,” het die beeldhouer gesê. Hy het die seuntjie op ‘n stoel laat sit, sy gereedskap gaan haal en begin kap en skuur.

En daar voor die seuntjie se oë het die mooiste beeld wat hy nog ooit gesien het, sigbaar geword. Dit was toe regtig ‘n ruiter en ‘n perd!

Toe sê die beeldhouer vir die seuntjie: “Sien, ek het jou gesê dis ‘n ruiter en ‘n perd. Ek het iets gesien wat jy nie kon sien nie, maar deur te kap en te skuur het die beeld wat ek gesien het, ook sigbaar geword vir jou!”

God sien in elkeen van ons die beeld van Christus.

Ons is dit nog nie. Daarom gebruik God dikwels ‘n pynlike proses van kap en skuur om daardie beeld al meer in ons na vore te bring. Lyding is nooit lekker nie, maar uiteindelik veroorsaak die proses dat die beeld van Christus al meer en meer in ons na vore kom.

“Wanneer ons ly, lyk die lyding op daardie oomblik nie na iets om oor bly te wees nie, maar om oor te huil. Later lewer dit egter vir dié wat daardeur gevorm is, ‘n goeie vrug” (Hebreërs 12:11). Hierby sluit 2 Korintiërs 3:18 ook aan: “Ons word al meer verander om aan die beeld van Christus gelyk te word. Die heerlikheid wat ons uitstraal, neem steeds net toe.”

Body of a boy found in Masegwani river On Saturday morning a body of a 09 year old was found in Masegwani river in Xihoko Village outside Tzaneen.

The boy is said to have been there with his friend swimming when the water overpowered him where the friend ran home and informed the community though he couldn’t say what really happened, the community then responded in time, ran to the bushes where they started searching for the boy and his body was later found.

They managed to remove the deceased and rushed him to the nearest local clinic where he was declared dead upon the arrival.

Early this month, the South African Weather Services warned of heavy rainfall in Limpopo which brought in flash floods and overflowing of rivers and dams. During crime awareness in Fofoza Primary

School MEC of Transport Mapula Mokaba Phukwana also warned and pleaded with parents/community members not to allow children to play or go anywhere near rivers.

The South African Police Service is calling upon members of the community to ensure child safety at all times especially during these rainy seasons.

Members of the community together with community leaders are also advised to monitor the dams and rivers in and around their areas and children are found swimming they should be removed in order to prevent this type of incidents from happening.

An inquest docket was opened and the police are busy investigating.

Various borehole contractors have been confronted on issues pertaining to the new boreholes drilled in Ward 11 (Thapane) — but the Hydro-Geologist responsible for most of the contractors tried to downplay the rift between the contractors and the community leaders.

Some community leaders got very angry when the Hydro-Geologist insisted on drilling to a depth of sixty metres, instead of eighty to one hundred metres, as was stipulated in the borehole handover ceremony last year.

The tensed Hydro-Geologist, Mr Mosiye Seakamela, said “we have drilled sixty metres deep for the community of Bokhuta, because I realised that the water levels or depth remained the same from forty metres to hundred metres.

“There are only two dolerite rocks at Thapane, meaning we cannot just drill where ever we want or where the counsellor and the community needs the borehole to be.”

The borehole in question was drilled by Kurima for the community of Bokhuta to a depth of sixty metres and has not been tested yet.

Mr Matome Mo-

pai, one of the community leaders in Ward 11 said boreholes which cost millions to drill and to construct, ran dry within a very short time. These boreholes, he said, became white elephants due to the sixty metres depth, while borehole equipment got worn out and the replacement was too costly to replace the equipment.

“When the contractors were confronted, they denied everything.

However, a common problem in our area (Bolobedu) is non-functioning boreholes,” said Mopai.

The councillor for Ward 11, Ms Lettie Hlangwana, did not agree as the same strategy being implemented

26 AVB-150729-4-BT-397 BULLETIN-E 100x231CR.indd 1

by the contractors had failed in the past when thirty boreholes were drilled in Bolobedu. “An example is a borehole in Mapitlula which was drilled to a depth of seventy metres but two years later it became a white elephant,” said Hlangwane.

Mr Kediboni Matsha, an engineer who was assigned for inspection at Thapane, said some contractors were not complying to the borehole standards. He refused, however, to say what action will be taken to rectify the situation.

R1 miljoen per jaar vir winkelwaentjies!

Tzaneen se verbruikers kan tot R1 miljoen per jaar vir gesteelde/vernielde winkelwanetjies opdok — omdat die koste van die waentjies deur onnodige hoër pryse (vir veral kos) van verbruikers verhaal word.

Die winkelbestuurders, met die uitsondering van een, blyk ook nie gepla te wees nie en het nie eens die goeie maniere getoon om op ons amptelike en geskrewe navraag van 2 Maart — wat per hand afgelewer en persoonlik deur winkelbestuurders in ontvangs geneem is — te reageer nie.

Intussen het dit aan die lig gekom dat die winkeliers en selfs die SA Polisiediens, deur hul amptelike woordvoerder, die skuld vir die probleem vierkantig voor die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se deur lê.

“Die GTM het toegelaat dat smouse die middedorp oorneem en daarmee saam het ‘n absolute wetteloosheid ontstaan,” het een winkelier gesê, op voorwaarde dat sy identiteit nie geopenbaar word nie.

“Kyk gerus ook hoe gaan dit met die taxis. Hulle doen net wat hulle wil. Hulle stop waar hulle wil om passasiers op- en af te laai. Hulle parkeer waar hulle wil. Hulle het ‘n verkeerschaos na Claude Wheatleystraat op die oewer van die Letabarivier gebring en wetstoepassers

van die GTM tree nie op nie,” het nog ‘n winkelbestuurder gesê, ook op voorwaarde dat haar naam nie genoem word nie.

Uit gesprekke met senior winkelassistente is dit duidelik dat verskeie vergaderings reeds met die GTM en die Polisie gehou is, maar leë beloftes is gemaak. Van beloftes om veral smouse — wat van die grootste misruikers van die waentjies is — streng “aan te spreek”, het dadels gekom.

Ons het ons skriftelike navrae aan die volgende winkels gerig: • Checkers, waar die winkelbestuurder gesê “we will not respond to your enquiry”; • Game, waar die persoon wat die medianavraag ontvang het net dankie gesê, omgedraai en weggestap het; • Shoprite, waar die bestuurder gesê het “journalists twist words and I will not react”; • Woolworths, waar die bestuurder gesê het “ons mag nie op medianavrae reageer nie, net ons hoofkantoor; maar ons is bewus van vergaderings wat al oor die probleem gehou is”; • PicknPay, wie se bestuurder die indruk by ons gelaat het dat hy bekommerd is oor die toedrag van sake. Hy het egter ook gesê hy mag nie kommentaar lewer nie; • SuperSpar: ‘n Bestuurder het die

Vervoerkontrakteurs... ‘n Nuwerige gier is dat waentjies gebruik word om klante van ander winkels, wat nie waentjies het nie, met “geleende” waentjies te help om hul goedere te vervoer! Die ander foto’s wys hoe waentjies die wêreld vol gelaat word, tot selfs ver buite die dorp.

skriftelike navraag ontvang en gesê hy wil niks sê nie. ‘n Ander senior lid van die personeel het egter gesê dit kan bevestig word, “off the record”, dat hulle baie moeite doen om met spesiaal gehuurde personeel te verhoed dat mense met hul waentjies buite die winkel “afdwaal”. Die persoon het bygevoeg dat hulle steeds jaarliks ‘n sessyferbedrag aan nuwe waentjies moet bestee en dat hulle

bekommerd is oor die erge misbruik van winkelwaentjies in die dorp.

Smouse wat van gebraaide mielies tot skroot vervoer en jong mans wat saam met smouse werk word daagliks gesien, waar hulle tussen die verkeer deur vleg en die waentjies as rygoed gebruik.

Die waentjies van harde plastiek kos tot R2 000 en ‘n raps meer en word ingevoer. Die draadwaentjies kos in die omgewing van R1 300 elk.

Oppie Kassie On the Telly Deurdruk tweeuur toe vir Stormers-ondersteuners Die regstreekse TV-uitsending van die Stormers se Superrugby-wedstryd teen die Argentynse Jaguares begin Saterdag kort voor middernag, SA tyd.

Dit beteken dat baie van die Stormers se ondersteuners eers Sondagoggend tweeuur se kant in die kooi sal kom; dalk later as hulle ʼn oorwinning moet vier.

Die Cheetahs en die Sharks se tuiswedstryde teen die Brumbies en die Crusaders word vroeër die dag ook uitgesaai, maar gelukkig word Suid-Afrika en die Windies se wedstryd in die T20-kriekettoernooi al Vrydag gespeel.

Gholfliebhebbers sal duim vashou dat een van Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace, Charl Schwartzel en Jaco van Zyl die putjiespel-wêreldkampioenskap in Texas wen.

Die wenner kry 1,62 miljoen Amerikaanse dollar — ver oor die R24 miljoen.

Die 162ste kragmeting tussen die roeispanne van die universiteite van Oxford en Cambridge word ook weer regstreeks uitgesaai, net soos die SA sokkerspan se wegwedstryd teen Kameroen in die reeks om die Afrika-Nasiesbeker.

NEW you!

NTK-MHS Rugby Week could grow The NTK-MHS Rugby Week was presented for the first time this past week (18 to 22 March) at Merensky High School.

Belhar High School from Bellville in the Western Cape, Standerton High School, DZJ and Hudson (community teams from Nkowankowa) as well as a Barbarian team and the first team from Merensky enjoyed the spirit and warmth of rugby lovers in the beautiful Tzaneen surroundings.

Several players were honored for their outstanding performance on the field: Lyle Mar-

cus (Belhar) as backline player of the week, Almu Julies (Merensky) as tight forward player of the week, MJ Bench (Merensky) as loose forward player of the week, Tony Masedi (Barbarians) as best kicker and Jason Wessels as the player that scored the most tries.

Belhar won trophies for the best spirit as well as the team that played the most spectacular rugby.

for the best disciplined team.

The plate winner of the week was Merensky, and Belharwalked away with the cup, the champions of the week.

A prestige NTK team was also selected to tour to Italy as an invitational team during August this year.

After what has been achieved during this week, and with the ongoing support of Francois Froneman (executive manager), Wynand Benadé (trade operations manager) and Frikkie van Vuuren (senior branch manager, Tzaneen) from NTK, this event promises to become one of the prestigious rugby weeks in the country. In 2017 eight teams from around the country will be invited.

Raga Bolo has a ‘jol’ The second round of the Raga Bolo Street Soccer tournament kicked off in Polokwane this past weekend. Despite a heavy downpour which delayed the proceedings, seven teams pitched up for the event. There was a greater crowd contingent this weekend, due to a growing interest in this traditional township sport.

This was the second round of an eight week tournament. Spectators were not disappointed in the top-class action football on show, as a total of seven games kept them entertained well into the afternoon.

The Polokwane leg of this national tournament coincided with sixteen other matches played across the country in various divisions. The winner of the Limopo In-land North division will meet the winners of the Oubal wil vir die manne (en dames) wat verlede week by die eetplek bo in die kloof sit en bespiegel het oor sy identiteit vandag sê hulle is verkeerd, baie verkeerd.

‘Tja, om te wil sê Oubal en die redakteur van hierdie koerantjie is een en dieselfde persoon, is soos om te sê ons skole praat altyd die waarheid in hul (sport)berigte. Hulle is egter nie die eerstes wat dié fout maak nie, want Oubal weet darem dat die redakteur al op die hoofde se rooi tapyt was oor dinge wat Oubal hier kwytgeraak het. Maar soms verdien Oubal se redakteur om op die mat te staan!

Vat nou maar sy flouerige askiesie verlede week op die agterblad van dié koerantjie. Toe Oubal die eerste keer lees van die blouskool oorkant die brug se prestasie teen die magtige HTS Pretoria (en dit was gelykop volgens Oubal se inligting) het Oubal dit gesien vir wat dit is — ‘n blatante propagandistiese leuen. Tot en met die berig het Oubal skaars geweet Pretoria Tech (soos ons dit geken het) speel rakbie, laat staan nog drie Beeld-trofeë in ‘n ry gewen. Dan is daar natuurlik Beeldtrofeë en Beeldtrofeë, maar dis ‘n ander storie.

En dis ook nie dat Oubal nie al in die verlede hier kapsie gemaak het oor die waninligting wat ons soms uit skole se geledere gevoer word nie — alles deel van ‘n propagandastryd noudat dat hulle mekaar nie meer op die sportveld ontmoet nie, so smaak dit Oubal. Die blouskool is allermins die enigste skuldige.

So lees Oubal byvoorbeeld twee weke terug hier dat die

Leuens en Verskonings! rooiskool se o.19 meisies-aflosspan die seisoen onoorwonne was. Kyk, Oubal het hulle sien hol die aand met die rooiskool se sogenaamde prestige-byeenkoms, en hulle kán wragtag hol. Maar Oubal het ‘n voëltjie hoor fluit dat hulle in Mbombela tweede viool moes speel teen die Affie-meisies (voor hulle oor ‘n skoolwapen begin stry het). Weliswaar was die viool glo nie dikker as ‘n neuslengte nie, maar ‘n neus is ‘n neus, al is die perd se naam ook Sea Cottage.

Nou sien Oubal ook in verlede week se uitgawe van die koerant ‘n foto van die laerskool se atlete wat aan die SA Atletiekbyeenkoms deelgeneem het. Direk onder dit is ‘n foto van Wolkberg Akademie se atlete wat nog aan die SA’s moet gaan deelneem. Waffer een is nou waffer een, of is daar “SA’s” en “SA’s” soos wat daar Beeldtrofeë en Beeld-trofeë is?

Maar terug na die redakteur se beeldsprakerige verskoning — hy noem Siya Kolisi se oortreding teen die Haaie ‘n “professionele fout”. Dit smaak Oubal die redakteur luister te veel na Bobby Skinstad en Jonathan Kaplan, en te min na die doyen van SA skeidsregters, oom Paul Dobson. Oubaas

Mpumalanga league at the end of April, to determine which side will face the Gauteng winners in the final to be played later this year in Johannesburg.

The wining team will take home R100 000 to the benefit of their team and the local tavern they are associated with. “This is a fantastic initiative and we as a community are very privileged to be a part of this tournament. It is a very creative way to keep the youngsters off the street and perhaps even showcase some of the natural talent that can be found in the townships, to grow future soccer talent,” said one community member.

The next round will commence on 2 April in Sheshego outside Polokwane.

Dobson het ‘n mooi artikel geskryf oor hoekom die beslissing teen Kolisi 100% korrek was, en intensie en bedoeling het niks daarmee uit waai nie.

Wat Oubal egter die week van sy redakteur verwag is om ‘n verskoning te plaas oor hoekom Dylan Leyds se drie verlede Saterdag teen die Brumbies nie toegeken moes gewees het nie, veral omdat Leyds saam met die res van die wêreld self nie daarmee saamgestem het nie!

“Tja, en terwyl Oubal nou besig is om sy redakteur voor stok te kry, sal hy graag ook ‘n verduideliking wil hê oor hoekom die knaende AWOL Vlieg, dié koerant se sosiale kommentator, op ‘n oorsese sending is om rakbiesake te ondersoek, terwyl die koerant se getroue sportrubriekskrywer by die huis moet sit en werk.

Oubal ruik nepotisme, korrupsie en leuenagtige verskonings!

“For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.” – Bo Bennett • As die redakteur dan nou om verskoning moet vra oor Leyds se drie, dan vra hy om verskoning. Tweedens: Oubal en sy trawante mag dink die redakteur het met sy hoedjie in sy hand op ‘n rooi mat gestaan, maar die redakteur gaan nie daarvoor in om op rooi matte te staan nie. Hy weet dus nie daarvan nie. Derdens: Daar is inderdaad SA’s en SA’s — want dis gewone skole, agtergeblewe skole, onafhanklike skole, CVO-skole en die duiwel weet wat nog. Laastens: Oubal is oorgevoelig — hy is hopeloos te veel werd vir SA rugby (en ander sporte) om hom op oorsese toere uit die land te stuur, in plaas van om hom hier plaaslik (lees: SA) te hê om die sambok in te lê! Ek skuld jou, Oubal! — Redakteur

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!
