Volgende week gaan iets groot in Tzaneen gebeur, wat jy nie mag misloop nie.

The infrastructure of the abandoned Tzaneen Municipal swimming bath is showing visible signs of deterioration. The neglect is in at least one instance even posing a dan-

ger to human life, as the GTM remains mum over the fate of this expensive, and now unutilized, endeavour. Bulletin has damning photographic evidence of the dilapidated

state of this facility which we will publish along with a full report in next week’s issue.

Hot potato road

joe@bulletin.us.com

Construction on sinkhole has begun, but...

True to his word, the contractor appointed to plug the George’s Valley sinkhole started work on Monday this week. Despite a community elated at the prospect of this reparation, the R528 route remains a contentious issue. Discussions around the future of this road, combined with shock testimonies and claims of financial constraints from community members, local governing bodies and national institutions have caused this topic to become a hot potato in the mouths of decision makers. What lies ahead for the R528 along with the implementation and sustainability of proposed plans for the route is still open for discussion as local government departments appear to have reached a stalemate.

The rehabilitation of the sinkhole on the Georges Valley road is in full swing. On the right is Mr Vic Khumalo, who is fighting tooth and nail for the GV route to be made safer. Turn to P 3 for more info.

Business rescue for farmers as bankruptcy in agri is increasing It is expected that the number of South African companies filing for bankruptcy during the first quarter of this year will increase by 53%, most of these being in the agricultural sector.

A possible solution for farmers might be business rescue proceedings tailored specifically for the agriculture sector. So says an Audit Manager at BDO South Africa. In this article he unpacks how business rescue proceedings work and the special parameters around business rescue in the agricultural sector.

According to BDO South Africa it is expected that the number of South African companies filing for bankruptcy during the first quarter of this year will increase by 53% from 119 to 182, most of these being in the agricultural sector.

The recent drought throughout SA has had, and will continue to have, a dramatically detrimental effect on SA’s agricultural production. This is according to Werner Gerber, an Audit Manager at BDO South Africa. “We might very well be at the brink of the next big recession — if not already in it,” says Gerber.

According to the Economic Review of the SA Agriculture 2014/15, farming debt has increased from R75 billion to almost R126 billion over the last five years.

In an average year South Africa will typically record a 2 million tonne maize surplus, generating about R6 billion in export revenue. “However, due to the harsh drought South Africa will need to import 770 000 tonnes of maize at a cost of R2,2 billion.

This is only one of many examples of the drought’s impact on our already struggling economy,” says Gerber.

Farming Debt The total farming debt as at the end of June 2015 is estimated at R125 712 million, compared to R115 117 million at the end of June 2014 - an increase of 9,2%.

“Recently the prime lending rate increased and the country’s credit ratings are at an alltime low, meaning it is becoming more expensive to obtain funding and service debt.

Taking this all into account — along with the increasing inflation rate — the future for SA farmers is looking very bleak.”

Gerber advises that a possible solution for farmers might be business rescue proceedings tailored specifically for the agriculture sector.

“In American Football there is a term called a ‘Hail Mary Pass’. The Oxford dictionary describes it as being ‘a long, typically unsuccessful pass made in an attempt to score late in the game and consequently winning it’.

This is exactly what business rescue is — it is a last resort to save a company.”

According to Alex Eliott, a business rescue expert, one of the main reasons for the failure of business rescue proceedings is the lack of experienced, skilled company turnaround strategists in the country. “Business rescue experts assisting farmers need to have an in-depth knowledge of the agricultural sector — both the financial and non-financial aspects,” says Gerber.

“The current drought and the consequent high number of farmers expected to go bankrupt has opened up a whole new market for financial advisory firms in the form of business rescue practitioners specialising in agriculture. To ensure that business rescue plans are successful, practitioners will need to have a good knowledge of the sector, otherwise bankrupt farmers will just become a new scary statistic.”

A business rescue expert servicing the agricultural sector needs to know: • How the different seasonal cycles work.

These will determine when funding is needed and when the necessary cash flow should be available to pay debt.

• Which Act is applicable and when. Different Acts are applicable to different farms. For instance The Agriculture Produce Standards Act will be more applicable to farms exporting produce than farms producing for South African use only.

• How to improve cash flow through the diversification of cultivars. Different cultivars of the same fruit may differ in:

1. Life cycles — from planting to maturity to harvest. The shorter this period, the quicker the farm will be able to generate cash flow.

2. Different harvesting times. If we take citrus as an example: Clementines can be harvested in May while something like Tambor will normally be harvested in September. Using the correct methods and creating the ideal environment it could be possible to have both these cultivars on one farm. Consequently the cash inflow period will increase.

• How to account for the different classes of biological assets. The classification of biological assets between non-current and current assets might have a significant influence on the financial position of a company. A stronger financial position will lead to credit suppliers being more lenient towards the company.

• How environmental developments will influence the present and future economic situation of farms. If we think about environmental developments we tend to immediately think about the climate and we forget about environmental factors such as disease and pests. Some of these include sirex (wood wasps), fruit flies, melanose, potassium deficiencies and mold. The business rescue specialist should know the financial implications of a disease or pest on a farming operation.

• The different carrying norms for different produce. Different cultivars have different carrying abilities. It is very important to know what the norm per cultivar is for better budgeting purposes. Better budgeting will lead to better cash management.

• What the B-BBEE requirements are for agricultural exports. The practitioner should also be aware of the B-BBEE requirements for doing business offshore, better ratings could lead to more income streams.

• What the requirements are for government grant applications and how to account for this.

Farms may apply for government grants, especially for socio-economic development of farms and the laborers working on farms.

• BDO in South Africa is the SA member firm of BDO International. BDO is the brand name for the BDO network and for each of the BDO member firms. The global BDO network provides audit, tax and advisory services in 154 countries, with over 64 300 people working out of 1,400 offices worldwide.

GV road: ‘A challenging project’ Mr Jomo Mashiane

Work has started on the George’s Valley road sinkhole. Earth moving equipment and workers of Polokwane based Batlagae Investments arrived on site early Monday morning, to start the repair work on the R528 connecting Tzaneen and Haenertsburg.

The contractor, Mr Jomo Mashiane, was appointed to repair the dangerous stretch of road last month and remained true to his word when he promised that work would commence this week. When Bulletin spoke

EXCLUSIVE

to him on site last week, Mashiane outlined their plan for the reparations which included the clearing of the surrounding shrubbery and trees to construct a temporary access road for residents around the affected area, while the excavation of the sinkhole is underway.

“This is going to be a challenging project, but we will start early and I am confident that we have made the necessary plans to complete this project even ahead of schedule.” Mashiane expressed concern over the number of vehicles and trucks that refuse to heed the road closure warnings at both entrances to the R528 and continue to use this road at their own peril.

“The road users need to understand that this is a very dangerous situation and that by

being reckless they are endangering not only their own lives, but those of the road workers at the site as well. If an interlink truck driver ignores the warning signs and travels up this road to the sinkhole, where will they be able to turn that truck around? There is no space and they will have to sleep here at the site for a few weeks while we work.” Mashiane has said that they will enforce strict measures to ensure the safety of everyone during this project.

In the run up to the eventual appointment of a contractor to repair the sinkhole on this infamous stretch of road, Bulletin has yet to receive any comment from the Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL). Phone calls to their office or mobile numbers remained unanswered for weeks. On Tuesday

morning we managed to finally make contact with Mr Moses Malungane, whom we were told was the agency’s spokesperson.

He was unable to answer any of our questions and referred us to Ms Anastasia Lekalakala, the agency’s media liaison officer. She, in turn, referred the matter to her Communications Manager, Mr Maropeng Manythela, who is yet to answer his phone. An email enquiry has been sent to Manythela and Lekalakala containing several questions regarding the project. At the time of going to print we had received no response.

Startling revelations were made during a ouring their mandate. “The fact of the matter meeting between members of the George’s is that it is impossible for us to enforce the Valley Residents Association (GRVA) and law on the R528, because of the way in which the leadership of Roads Agency Limpopo. the road is designed.

AgriLimpopo reacts on Expropriation Bill An urgent submission on a series of “deficiencies” in the government’s Draft Expropriation Bill was compiled by AgriLimpopo and sent to the portfolio committees of Agriculture, Public Works and Local Government.

The CEO of AgriLimpopo, Mr Willem van Jaarsveld, pointed out several clauses in the draft bill that needs to be revised to prevent unfair treatment of individuals in future expropriatrion deals and secure food security in South Africa.

About fair and equitable compensation he said that no individual should be left in a position worse than before he was expropriated. He added that valuation of land should be done properly, otherwise it is bound to disrupt land markets and wreck agricultural financing.

Land owners or the holder of rights with objections must also have the opportunity to extend the procedure for longer than the

prescribed twenty days, as such extension is only applicable on the expropriation authority (state). The owner needs more time to weigh up his options and get legal and financial advice.

The costs of court cases had been a burden in the past, hampering production and development of agricultural land due to uncertainties. According to AgriLimpopo this led to the loss of 36 000 jobs on farms between 2004 and 2009. The state should also pay for litigation in expropriation cases.

Van Jaarsveld said AgriLimpopo also request that agricultural land be excluded from any category of assets that the state may become the custodian of. Land forms the basis of agricultural financing, and under state control this will not be possible.

“The Act should also compel the state to pay for expropriation in full and well in advance of the date of transfer,” according to the submission.

The Message

15 April 2016 Rev Ron Reiners Anglican Church

Georges Valley se pad Daar word nou dringend gewerk om Georges Valley se berugte pad te herstel en weer rybaar vir motoriste te maak.

Die huidige krisis met dié moeilike stuk pad kon vermy gewees het, as daar ‘n stuk of ses jaar gelede behoorlike werk gedoen is, toe die pad op “groot skaal” herstel is. Maar toe is ‘n regstellende aanstelling gemaak, van iemand wat nie eens ‘n kruiwa gehad het nie en inderhaas ‘n sub-kontrakteur aangestel het.

Die afskeepwerk en swak toesig het gesorg dat die lapwerk nie lank gehou het nie. Opvolg-inspeksies is duidelik ook nie na behore gedoen nie en die sinkgat-krisis is ‘n direkte gevolg van sogenaamde padinspekteurs wat tevrede was met ‘n “bo blink, onder stink”-toedrag van sake.

Nou is die Road Agency Limpopo, in hul diepste wese ‘n agentskap wat al geruimte tyd tussen krisisse rondslinger, besig met allerlei planne. So sê hul senior bestuur. Of alles wat beloof word wel die lig sal sien, sal ons mettertyd weet.

So hier en daar lyk dit of die waarheid nie altyd getrou gedien word met al die planne nie, maar dit sal ook mettertyd getoets word.

In die proses het die provinsiale verkeershoof vir die Mopani-omgewing sy plig as verkeersman uiters voortreflik nagekom en verkeersveiligheid prominent voorop gestel.

Ons het meer van sy kaliber manne dringend nodig.

Helpende Hand benodig ook JOU helpende hande!

Vandag nog!

Greetings in the name of Christ our Lord.

Firstly, let me apologize for not submitting my article last time.

Now I can make many excuses, but as the Bulletin’s motto is “Fearlessly the truth” I simply forgot.

How often do we tell white lies to enable ourselves to overcome embarrassment? Make excuses to hide our real feelings, or even lie about something that happened so that we get noticed? So how can we be believed?

Vandag blaai ons terug na Vrydag 16 April 2004, om te kyk wat toe die voorbladnuus was. In die hoofberig op die Bulletin se voorblad en onder die opskrif “Nes van onheil”, het die koerant onthul hoe die ou Binnelandse Sake-gebou langs die polisiekantoor in Tzaneen se hoofstraat deur bedwelmde sluipslaper-straatkinders beset is, rondslingerend op soek na nog ‘n bietjie gom om te snuif. Langsaan het die KFC ‘n stryd gevoer om higiëne op ‘n hoë standaard te hou, waar die stank van menslike ontlasting swaar in die lug gehang het. Daar is ook berig oor die vordering in die saak van die slapende landdros, en die Reënkoningin wat nie in die algemene verkiesing wou stem nie.

Now Atheists deny the existence of God and say they believe in Science and evolution and we as Christians have faith in God, a God we have not seen, yet we profess this as a true fact. So who is lying? Here is what I see as a fact: My belief in what happened and that there is a God who loves us has been proven over and over again, it is not just a theory but a fact. The Bible is my source of reference.

Here facts have been recorded over time by people who actually experienced them. People have tried to discredit the Bible but have failed to do so. History can be proven time and time again and we can thus be assured that the Bible is factual and not a work of fiction. Yet one can argue that it was written by humans that were perhaps influenced by the things happening around them. But how come, different writers often say the same thing? The Bible was not written in one sitting but over a period of years.

Some argue that the Bible was written only later and that only a few people were literate, therefore, the facts were shared by word of mouth and could have been distorted in some way. But Historians have proven that the Bible is factual. There are so many versions of the Bible so which version is the best? One needs to read the Bible and if possible read other versions, not only one, each has its own translation and if guided by the Holy Spirit one can determine what is truth, and what is not. I have three or four Bibles and often have asked which one people think is the best one. One is in pristine condition and can be put on shelf, just to show how I respect the Bible, one is a soft cover so that it can be bent, just as some of us bend the truth. The other one is rather dog-eared and marked with a hi-lighter. The answer to this question is of course the one which has been used.

Do you use your Bible or is it just a show piece? Daily reading is the best way of getting to know the Word and understanding it, if you have questions do not be afraid to ask, either your Pastor or one of your leaders to assist you.

God Bless.

Nuwe beleid oor skoolhoofde groot stap vorente vir onderwys in SA, sê Fedsas Die nuwe beleid vir standaarde vir skoolhoofde in Suid-Afrika, wat op 18 Maart vanjaar in die Staatskoerant gepubliseer is, is ’n belangrike mylpaal vir onderwys.

“Ons wil die minister van basiese onderwys, me. Angie Motshekga, en haar departement geluk wens met hierdie beleid,” sê mnr. Paul Colditz, uitvoerende hoof van die Federasie van Beheerliggame van Suid-Afrikaanse Skole (Fedsas). Fedsas was een van die rolspelers wat versoek is om kommentaar te lewer op die konsepbeleid.

“Die finale beleid oortref ons verwagtinge. Dit is weldeurdag en sal ’n belangrike maatstaf wees vir skoolbeheerliggame wanneer aanbevelings oor kandidate vir skoolhoofde gemaak word. Dit verskaf ook duidelikheid oor die verhouding tussen ’n skoolhoof en die skoolbeheerliggaam,” sê Colditz. ’n Skoolhoof is ’n kernskakel in die onder-

wysketting. Vir Suid-Afrika se onderwysstelsel om suksesvol en kompeterend te wees, is uitstekende skoolhoofde ononderhandelbaar. Skoolbeheerliggame speel ’n bepalende rol in die aanstellingsproses van skoolhoofde. “Hierdie beleid dra by tot die beskerming van die bevoegdheid

van beheerliggame om hierdie proses te bestuur en aanbevelings vir die aanstelling te maak,” sê Colditz.

Fedsas bedank die minister en haar departement vir die steun wat hulle aan skool-

hoofde bied. “Beleid soos hierdie maak dit duidelik dat besluite oor skoolhoofde nie aan vakbonde of vakbondgenote in die departement oorgelaat kan word nie. Onlangse mediaberigte oor die ‘verkoop’ van skoolhoofposte deur vakbonde bevestig dat die integriteit van die aanstellingsproses bo verdenking moet bly.”

Fedsas is verbind tot behoud en bevordering van gehalte-onderrig. “As gerekende rolspeler in onderwys sal ons voortgaan om die minister en haar departement te steun in inisiatiewe wat bydra tot die verwesenliking van Fedsas se ideale.”

• Fedsas is ’n vrywillige vereniging van skoolbeheerliggame van openbare skole en staan die behoud en bevordering van gehalte-onderwys in dié skole voor.

Meer as 1900 openbare skole is reeds lid van Fedsas.

Father & son suffer after Home Affairs bungle Home Affairs officials’ alleged mistake, has left a couple struggling for fifteen years to get their son a birth certificate. Mr Samuel Shibambu (61) and his wife Alleta (46), from Gavaza, said they were repeatedly given a run around in their bid to obtain the documents for their second-born son, Ndzalo.

The boy was born in November 2002.

The couple went to Home Affairs at the Jamela Clinic outside Tzaneen when their son was just a few months old, to obtain the necessary documents, but were told that an error had occurred. “The Home Affairs official told us to leave and take the matter to Home Affairs Tzaneen,” Shibambu said.

The Shibambu’s went to Home Affairs Tzaneen and were told that there was an ID number for a baby born few months before their son, attached to Aletta’s ID number. “They

Shibambu me from one official to anwent back to Home Affairs and asked to speak to Mr other and told me that they don’t know what to do any Edie Maphosa, the local office manager. “I was told that more and they can’t solve my he would assist me and have case,” he said.

Months later, when Shibamthe situation rectified shortly, bu returned, Maphosa said but we are no closer to a resSamuel Shibambu the matter was now in the olution and it is another few hands of Home affairs in Pretoria. He was months later.”

Shibambu, with the help of another Home also told to obtain an affidavit from the po-

lice station stating he had been struggling to get help for the past fifteen years. Bulletin has seen both documents.

Shibambu now faces many uncertainties, one of which concerns his son not being able to benefit from his will and testament should something happen to him. “I am at my wits end!”

Ndzalo had since been kicked out from Gavaza Primary School as the Department of Education requires an ID number in order to log him onto their database and to be properly registered for exams.

Repeated attempts to get comment from Home Affairs spokesperson Mayihlome Tshwete, have been unsuccessful since February this year. He also has not responded to follow up e-mails.

George Ramodike honoured at ‘Copy-It’ Copy-It Tzaneen hosted a mini-birthday celebration to honour one of their longstanding clients, Mr George Ramodike, and their employee Sophy Monyela this past Monday.

The joyous occasion came to a head when Ramodike made his regular visit to check his emails at the shop. He was surprised to discover that he shared a birthday with one of the

store’s employees and took the opportunity to approach the shop’s owner, Mr Mannie de Gouveia, and request a donation for their birthday.

“We are grateful for the donations which Mr De Gouveia made for this joint celebration to be a success and we intend to make this an annual tradition,” Ramodike said.

Ramodike celebrated his birthday on 4 April and his counterpart, Ms Sophy Monyela, turned 32 last week Friday.

They were both thrilled and certain that this would be a day they would never forget.

Turbridge burns up the strip Motor racing enthusiasts from all over Limpopo recently flocked to the drag strip on the Politsi road just outside Tzaneen. Moderately cloudy conditions could not dampen the spirits of the hundreds of fans who framed the quarter mile tarmac in anticipation of a day at the races.

Fast cars, faster bikes and pit girls added to the allure while food and drinks stalls saw to the more placid appetites. The event was crowned with the involvement of Speed and Sound from Gauteng who brought three of their own vehicles to the Bushveld, to take on the local drivers.

Hosted by LHC Limpopo Hotcars, Collin’s Racing and Speed & Sound, the event had a flair of professionalism like no other. Official times and speeds were measured with advanced radar technology and displayed on an LED board for all to enjoy.

The fastest time on four wheels was clocked

by Satish in the Speed & Sound Opel Kadett. He completed the quarter mile in 12,4 seconds at a top speed of 208 km/h.

Despite an accident earlier in the morning when a Mitsubishi Lancer lost control and skid off the track onto the grass embankment, nobody was injured on the day. All the results can be viewed on the LHC Limpopo Hotcars Facebook page.

— Joe Dreyer

Safety measures were tightened to ensure the safety of spectators and drivers alike.

More than hundred entries were received and included drivers from Lydenburg, Polokwane, Phalaborwa and Tzaneen. “We were very pleased,” said Nico Goodchild of LHC Limpopo Hotcars. “A lot of planning goes into something like this and it is always gratifying when you receive such tremendous support. We were also privileged to have the boys from Speed & Sound and Collin’s Racing partner with us this time around, as it added a tad more to spectator value and pushed the local drivers a little harder to improve their personal bests.”

Shaun Turbridge from Phalaborwa clocked the fastest time over the quarter mile on the day. Of the eleven runs recorded, Turbridge’s 2016 H2 Turbocharged Kawasaki Ninja 1000 cc reached 244 km/h and completed the 400 m in just over ten seconds. “This bike is nothing short of a beast and it was very difficult to keep the front wheel down,” said Turbridge, “but over 400 meters there is no greater feeling in the world!”

Tesla rocks the boat with new models While Martin Sheen and others ponder Who Killed the Electric Car? a group of Silicon Valley millionaires is trying to answer the next question: Who will resurrect the electric car? Tesla Motors is the result, a manufacturer of vehicles than run 100 percent on electricity.

The company gets its name from Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, who went toe-to-toe with Thomas Edison (and won) to prove whether AC or DC was the preferred method of transporting electricity over great distances. In the same light, Tesla Motors is trying to prove that electricity is not only capable of transporting automobiles great distances but also that electric cars can be fun to drive.

The company is the brainchild of Martin

276 000 orders in just days Orders for the much-hyped Tesla Model 3, a cheaper version of its electric car aimed at the mass market, have surged to 276 000 in just three days, company founder Elon Musk announced.

Orders are piling up fast and exceeding the expectations of the company for its Model 3 — which will have a base price of US$35,000 — even though it won’t be available until late next year.

Amid reports of queues to snap up the vehicle, Musk tweeted: “276k Model 3 orders by end of Sat.” With the Model 3, a compact sedan, Tesla aims to show it can appeal to the general public and produce cars en masse. The base price is half that of Tesla’s luxury Model S and the Model X, which start at US$70,000.

Musk said Thursday that orders had passed 115,000 worldwide and hinting that demand was outstripping expectation later tweeted: “Definitely going to need to rethink production planning...” © 1994-2016 Agence France-Presse

Eberhard, Marc Tarpenning and PayPal founder Elon Musk. The founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, are also investors. This fresh blood from Silicon Valley is further evidence that Tesla is an entirely different type of car company.

Tesla went about creating its first vehicle with the theory that nobody wanted electric cars because nobody had created an electric car worth buying. So they sought to correct the many perceived electric-car problems like range, recharging times, styling and performance. The company’s first product, the Tesla Roadster, is capable of going about 250 miles between charges, which is a drastic improvement from the GM EV1’s 60-90-mile range. A complete recharge is accomplished in less than 2 hours.

(The EV1 took 5) Recharging is accomplished via regenerative braking, a home recharging

unit and an optional portable recharger.

As for styling and performance, Tesla chose a $100,000 sports car to enter the market as a way to establish “performance DNA” that would trickle down to less expensive models.

Based on the Lotus Elise, the British-built Tesla Roadster is lightweight and svelte, capable of keeping up with other sports cars in its price bracket. Tesla promises 0-60 mph times around 4 seconds and a top speed of more than 130 mph. Throw in handling indicative of its Lotus roots and it should be obvious that the Roadster is one heck of a sports car.

Tesla announced in February 2007 that it

would be making a new sport sedan known as the WhiteStar, built at a new factory in New Mexico. The company plans on producing 10 000 units each year at a cost between $50,000 and $65,000 per car. Like the Roadster, it should have a range of about 250 miles, but with battery technology improving, that number could rise.

With growing international attention, including Tesla Roadsters ferrying stars to high-profile events like the Oscars and the rising interest in alternative fuels to combat global warming, this young electric car company could soon be a big name in the automotive industry.

Trophy Toyota verdien ‘n trofee!

The admin and sales staff of Trophy Toyota are seen her. In the front row are Mr Ryan Hyde (accounts & HR manager), Ms Wendy Hyde (financial manager), Mr Jon Hyde (dealer principal) and Mss Maaki Rikhotso (F & I

manager) and Angelique Eagar (Caltex manager). At the back are Messrs Roger Mac Connel (Automark manager), Gary Adam (workshop manager), Renier Loots (parts manager) and Sias Cherane (new vehicle sales manager).

Trophy Toyota in Modjadjiskloof is ‘n unieke handelaar in die Toyotastal. Die staatmakeronderneming is vanjaar vyftig jaar oud — een van slegs twee Toyotahandelaars wat met dié prestasie kan spog.

Maar dit gaan verder as dit: Trophy is die enigste Toyota-handelaar wat na vyftig jaar steeds vanaf dieselfde adres hul sake doen en met dieselfde familie wat die saak gestig het, steeds aan die stuur van sake!

Hulle het ‘n heerlike verjaarsdaggeselligheid aangebied en van die grootste vlooteienaars in die streek — soos ZZ2, Bosveld Sitrus, Allesbeste Boerdery en ander — was daar verteenwoordig om saam die besondere

mylpaal te vier.

Hierby is foto’s wat by die vreugdevure-byeenkoms geneem is, waar daar lekker gekuier is — en staaltjies uit vervloë dae gedeel is.

Mr Sias Cherane (new vehicle sales manager and been with Trophy for 24 years) and Ms Nicky Altenroxel (who started her working career at Trophy a number of moons ago).

LINKS BO: Mnr Piet Smit van Bosveld Sitrus en die handelaarhoof van Trophy, mnr John Hyde, is hier gesellig saam by die verjaarsdagviering.

LINKS: Mnr Jasper Diederiks en sy vrou Charisma het ook die aand gesellig saam met Trophy Toyota se span deurgebring.

Mnre Wicus Van Vuuren (Aïda), PW Boshoff (FNB), Frans Le Grange (FNB Modjadjiskloof), me Mandi Naude en mnr Louis Naude (Northern Security) het ook die verjaarsdagviering geniet.

REGS: Mnr Trompie Naude (een van die werktuigkundiges van Trophy) en sy vrou Cornette was van die handelaarskap se werknemers wat die aand saam met sowat 200 gaste deurgebring het.

Regs: Mnr Leon Labuschagne van Sakata ontspan met die week se vars nuus. Onder: Mnre Luan Labuschagne, Hannes Wolvaardt, Wilco de Bruin, Niel Jacobs en Renier Reynecke (jr) het kopstukke gesels.

Landbouleerlinge van die Hoërskool Merensky — Angus Dalrymple-Haq, Josh Labuschagne en Donovan van Tonder — het ook die fees bygewoon.

Oppie Kassie On the Telly Stormers en Lions kan kopsorge verdryf Politici en ander mense met erge kopsorge kan gerus dié naweek ʼn bietjie rugby kyk. Hulle sal, ten minste tydelik, hul kwellinge vergeet as hulle op televisie sien hoe die Lions en die Stormers mekaar beetkry.

Dié Superrugby-wedstryd is een van sewe wat regstreeks uitgesaai word. Ook die dekking van die internasionale sewestoernooi in Singapoer behoort puik afleiding te verskaf.

Daarby dra ʼn stewige lys SA krieketspelers by tot die opwinding in die Indiese Premierliga.

Quinton de Kock, AB de Villiers, David Miller en Faf du Plessis is tussen dié wat in die T20-wedstryde saam en teen die wêreld se bestes speel.

Verskeie Suid-Afrikaners ding ook mee in twee groot gholftoernooie wat heelwat inbreuk op TV-kykers se slaaptyd gaan maak. In die Heritage op Hilton Head-eiland is sowat R88 miljoen op die spel en in die Spaanse Ope op Valderrama omtrent R34 miljoen.

Dat die Monte Carlo-meesters senutergende tennis sal oplewer, is nie altemit nie. Daarby sal die Chinese Grand Prix vir Formule 1-motors en die Nederlandse superfietsrenne talle aanhangers van motorsport ʼn hele paar uur voor hul TV-stelle hou.

SuperSport-hoogtepunte (Alles regstreeks) Vrydag 15 April Gholf: Vroue: Lottekampioenskap, Hawai, dag 2 — 01:00 tot 05:00 op SS 1 en GDN Spaanse Ope, Valderrama, dag 2 — 12:30 tot 14:30 en 16:30 tot 19:30 op SS 7 Heritage-toernooi, dag 2 — 21:00 tot 00:00 op SS 7 en GDN Krieket: Indiese Premierliga: Delhi t Pandjab — 16:15 tot 20:30 op SS 2 Motorrenne: Formule 1: Chinese Grand Prix, oefening 1 — 03:50 tot 05:40 op SS 6 Chinese GP, oefening 2 — 07:50 tot 09:40 op SS 6 Netbal: SA Premierliga: Sunbirds t Flames — 17:45 tot 20:00 op Kanaal 210 Rugby: Superreeks: Crusaders t Jaguares — 09:00 tot 11:35 op SS 1 en GDN Rebels t Hurricanes —11:35 tot 14:00 op SS 1 en GDN Cheetahs t Sunwolves — 18:30 tot 21:15 op SS 1 en GDN Engelse Premierliga: Gloucester t Exeter — 20:40 tot 22:45 op SS 6 Sokker: SA Premierliga: Maritzburg United t Black Aces — 19:30 tot 22:30 op SS 4 Tennis: Monte Carlomeesters, kwarteind — 10:20 tot 18:30 op SS 6 Saterdag 16 April Gholf: Vroue: Lottekampioenskap, dag 3 — 01:00 tot 05:00 op SS 1 Spaanse Ope, dag 3 — 14:00 tot 18:00 op SS 8 Heritage-toernooi, dag 3 — 19:00 tot 00:00 op SS 7 en GDN Krieket: Indiese Premierliga: Hyderabad t Kolkata — 12:15 tot 16:15 op SS 3 Moembai t Gujarat — 16:15 tot 20:30 op SS 2 Motorfietsrenne: Superfietse: Nederlandse superpole, kwalifisering en wedren 1 —10:15 tot 14:10 op SS 5 Motorrenne: Formule 1: Chinese Grand Prix, oefening 3 — 05:50 tot 07:10 op SS 5 Chinese GP, kwalifisering — 08:50 tot 10:10 op SS 5 Nascarreeks, Bristol — 18:30 tot 21:00 op SS 8 Netbal: SA Premierliga: Jaguars t Diamonds en Flames t Crinums — 15:45 tot 20:00 op Kanaal 210 en GDN Rugby: Superreeks: Blues t Sharks — 09:00 tot 11:35 op SS 1 en GDN Waratahs t Brumbies —

Vossies in Superrugby voorwedstryd Die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se eerste rugbyspan is genooi om more op Ellispark in die hoofvoorwedstryd van die Superrugby-kragmeting tussen die Lions en die Stormers te speel. Hulle sal teen Jeppe Boys High te staan kom.

Jeppe is ‘n makroskool en is tans agtste op Totalsports se ranglys van skole se eerste spanne in Suid Afrika. Die ranglys is te sien op www.saschoolsports.co.za Die Vossies het die Paasnaweek groot oorwinnings tydens die KES-rugbyfees behaal.

Van die land se topskole was verteenwoordig by die fees: die tuisskool, King Edward (KES), die Hoërskool Waterkloof, Jeppe Boys High, Marlow, Queens College, St Benedicts, St Davids, Eldoraigne, Northwood en Kingswood.

Die Vossies het die tuisskool in ‘n titaniese wedstryd met 26-22 geklop, maar teen Marlow Landbouskool van die Oos-Kaap met 2622 verloor. Hulle het egter korte mette van St Davids van Johannesburg gemaak, deur hulle oortuigend met 54-12 te wen. Dit was ten spyte van ‘n rooi kaart teen die Vossies in die vyftiende minuut van die eerste helfte en ‘n geel kaart een minuut later.

Die skool se ander rugbyspanne vaar tot dusver ook goed in die nuwe seisoen. Die tweede span en die o.14-spanne het albei in die eindrondes van die afgelope vakansie se Maurtiz Hansen-rugbyweek in Naboomspruit gespeel, waar die tweede en o.16spanne onoorwonne was. Die tweede span het die eindstryd teen die Hoërskool Hans

Strijdom met 39-7 gewen; en die o.14’s het hulle eindstryd teen die Hoërskool Ellisras met 19-21 verloor.

Drie van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster se rugbyspanne het op 9 April teen Heuwelkruin in Polokwane meegeding.

Die Vossies se tweede span het teen Heuwelkruin se eerste span gespeel. Die Vossies het briljante rugby gespeel en met Shima Mphahlele aan die spits het hulle die Kruinies deurmekaar gehardloop en met 40-12 geseëvier.

Die derde span het teen Heuwelkruin se tweedes gespeel en ‘n ware wipplankwedstryd het uiteindelik gelykop met 28 elk geëindig. Die o.15’s was te sterk vir hul teenstanders en het met 70-0 gewen.

SLC enjoyed a good outing to LTT Stanford Lake College’s girls hockey teams played Louis Trichardt on Friday. They did very well to win all their matches. The teams really played with commitment, especially in the difficult conditions on the day.

The first team girls had a fantastic game and played some good passing hockey and came together as a team, winning the game 6-0. Their skills displayed a very good start to the season.

The results were: 1st Team won 6-2; 2nd team won 2-1; u.15 won 8-1; u.14 won 5-3.

Netball: SLC’s netball teams also played Louis Trichardt on Saturday. Despite difficult conditions on the court, all of them played some great netball. The juniors started off the day. The u.15’s started slowly and at half time they were only two goals ahead; however, they picked up their game to end 18-8 when the

final whistle blew.

The u.14’s had a great day in terms of experience. It was one of only a few times they have played as a team and it was an excellent chance to experiment with new combinations. Louis Trichardt ended victorious (the B team only fell behind by two goals), but they are looking forward to seeing this team dominate in the future. The seniors also had a tremendous day.

The second team looked a lot more organised on the court; however, they still need more experience playing as a unit. The first team played some of the best netball seen this season. They showed composure and confidence and their attacking plays were quite phenomenal. Katherine Gardiner and Reese Bain had a fantastic shooting game, their team work was incredible — and so was their accuracy — and was instrumental in the final score of 35-17.

Boys Hockey: The boys’ Hockey teams played Louis Trichardt on Friday. They managed three wins and one draw on the day. The teams played very well across all age groups, playing good attacking hockey and it was great to watch.

The 1st team boys had an awesome first half, scoring three goals to none. They slowed down in the 2nd half, going off the boil for 15 minutes. They came back strongly and scored 3 more goals and Louis Trichardt managed two of their own. Stanford won this game 6-2 in the end.

The results were: 1st Team won 6-2; 2nd team drew 3-3; u.16 won 2-0; u.14 won 6-0.

Rugby: The three Stanford Lake College rugby teams also travelled to Louis Trichardt to play fixtures against Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. The u.15’s and 2nd team struggled against much bigger and experienced opponents, losing 55-0 and 60-5 respectively.

However, as these were their first games for the year it was not a bad result for either team.

The First XV, or ‘Badgers’ played an incredible game against a much bigger Louis Trichardt side. It was a very physical game up front, and both teams played with a lot of aggression and heart, whilst also showing a willingness to play expansive, running rugby.

The score line went backwards and forwards a few times, and the result was always in question.

Luke de Goede, the SLC flyhalf, played a great attacking game and got his team on the front foot every time he got the ball. In the end the Louis Trichardt boys won 31-27, but both teams and spectators loved the fast and thrilling fixture.

It is the closest that the Badgers have come to beating the Louis Trichardt first team and is a definite sign of how much rugby has improved at SLC over the past few years.

This will be the deciding round for the local teams who will find out which of them will travel to Mbombela at month end to face the winners of the Khamghushwa eliminators. All bets are on Mam’s Tavern and Percy’s Pepsi to represent Limpopo as they currently lead the table ahead of the other six teams in their division. Mbombela saw some fantastic street soccer this past weekend and Bulletin’s Joe Dreyer was there to capture the action.

On Saturday three Stanford Lake College rugby teams played against Hoërskool Louis Trichardt.

The u.15’s and the 2nd team struggled against much bigger and experienced opponents, losing 55-0 and 60-5 respectively. However, as these were their first games for the year it was not a bad result for either team. Seen here are the first teams of SLC and Louis Trichardt.

Dit het Oubal verlede Maandagaand ‘n rukkie gevat om uit te werk wat die knarsgeluide was wat hy hom verbeel het hy hoor. Na deeglike oordenking het dit tot Oubal deurgedring dit was oorlede Dok Danie Craven se beendere wat telkens so in die graf omgedraai het!

‘Tja, as Oubal ou Nostrofredamus Pohl van Vishoek reg verstaan het, moes Maties net opdaag vir die Varsitybeker-eindstryd in die Danie Craven-stadion om as die kampioenspan gekroon te word. Nostrofred het saam met die paar Matie-ondersteuners hier te lande gereken Dok Craven se erfgename het die ander spanne so met sprankelrakbie oorheers in die groepfase, dat dit ‘n blote formaliteit sou wees in die eindstryd.

Bowendien, was dit tyd na ‘n aantal maer jare, het Nostrofred ook gereken. Natuurlik het die manne van die Potchefstroomse Volksuniversiteit nie daai draaiboek gelees nie en het hulle ander planne gehad.

Nou nie dat Oubal juis ‘n ondersteuner van enige van die twee universiteite of enige ander universiteit is nie (kinders wat hul pa’s se geld mors, edm), maar hy het die wedstryd as ‘n neutrale toeskouer terdeë geniet, tot ongeveer die tagtigste minuut.

Ooglopend was albei spanne ingestel op uitkloprakbie en het eerder veilig vir gebiedsvoordeel gespeel as met waagmoed.

Loopgraafoorlogvoering op sy beste, waaruit Maties ‘n klein voordeel met twee suksesvolle strafskoppe geniet het.

TaMatiestraat!

Maties het egter hul oomblikke gehad om verder voor te loop, maar het ‘n paar geleenthede om nog punte aan te teken met liederlike foute verbrou. Bygesê, die Pukke het heldhaftig verdedig op hul doellyn, waarvoor Oubal hulle moet komplimenteer. En toe breek daai laaste dramatiese minute aan wat selfs ‘n neutrale toeskouer sy naels laat afkou het, maar ook Dok Craven die grootste knars in sy graf moes laat gee het.

Pukke toon vir die eerste keer in die wedstryd waagmoed toe hulle die bal met die agterlyn afstuur en Rhyno Smith ‘n uitstekende steekskoppie hoekvlag toe stuur, wat Maties laat omdraai. Vir alle praktiese doeleindes lyk dit of die Pukke-vleuel die bal onder beheer kry en in die hoek oorduik vir ‘n sewepuntdrie met ‘n Matie-verdediger op sy rug. Die finale beslissing berus egter by die televisieskeidsregter, Shaun Veldsman. Veldsman beslis dat die Pukspeler die bal verloor het toe hy oor die doellyn gaan, maar hy rep nie ‘n woord oor ‘n vroeë laagvat op hom deur die Ma-

tiespeler nie, wat so duidelik soos daglig was.

Hieroor is die reëls baie duidelik — as ‘n drie in alle waarskynlikheid gedruk sou gewees het as dit nie was vir ontoelaatbare spel deur ‘n opponent nie, is dit ‘n strafdrie onder die pale. Het Veldsman en skeidsregter Lourens van der Merwe, wat die beeldmateriaal op die grootskerm kon volg, hul oë oopgemaak en gesonde oordeel aan die dag gelê, sou daar nooit nege minute ekstra speeltyd in die wedstryd gewees het nie.

Maar nog was dit toe het einde niet. In die genoemde nege minute het Maties nog twaalf strafskoppe op hul doellyn afgestaan en twee geelkaarte ontvang, maar te spyte van die reeks gevalle van ontoelaatbare spel, was daar volgens die skeidsregter steeds geen rede vir ‘n strafdrie nie. “De maaind boggels,” soos ou ArthurIngelsman sou sê!

Nietemin, dit spreek boekdele van die Pukke dat hulle ongeag die onwillige wedstrydbeamptes die knoop op hul eie kon deurhak. Oubal dink Dok Craven sal rustiger in sy graf lê met die wete dat toeskouers die stadion wat na hom vernoem is so vinnig kan ontruim!

(Oubal het kort voor sy spertyd verneem dat die geheim van wie die nuwe Bokafrigter is uiteindelik onthul is — meer daaroor volgende week.)
