Rugby fight raises serious questions

A primary school rugby match was tainted by a barbaric assault on a 12-year-old boy on Tuesday. The attack happened when a Tzaneen Primary player was viciously beaten unconscious by a player from the opposing Louis Trichardt Primary during their league game, in full view of spectators and coaching staff. The incident has brought rugby at primary school level under the spotlight once again.

My journey back to the future of African farming BY: Olusegun Obasanjo Former President of Nigeria

Every year, thousands of young Africans join an exodus from their families’ small, often struggling farms in the countryside.

No arrests were made as the suspects fled the scene before security personnel and SAPS arrived. Investigations are currently ongoing.

In related news, the Criminal Matters Amendment Act came into force this week, which escalated cable theft from its status as a petty crime, to a serious criminal offense that could carry a hefty prison sentence.

The amendment comes at a crucial time as theft of cables place a heavy financial burden on municipalities nationwide.

In a recent report in national media, it was estimated that cable theft costs Eskom, Telkom and Transnet in the region of R2-billion annually. Under the new act, criminals could face up to thirty years in prison and corporations found guilty of colluding with cable thieves may be slapped with fines of up to R100 000.

GLM approves R350m budget

Black-out in Tzn after cable theft Tzaneen suffered at the hands of would-be cable thieves this week with households left in the dark in the early hours of Monday.

According to reports, the town experienced a total blackout for a few hours at the start of the week when power cables were cut at two separate sites.

According to the GTM’s Electrical Department, criminals attempted to steal cables at an empty substation on the corner of Geelhout and Essenhout streets.

The substation is designated for future use by the municipality and the power cable the would-be thieves attempted to steal was a 185 11kV cable.

Although the suspects failed in their attempt to steal the cable, they caused significant damage which led to a six hour repair job by the GTM. I It was later also discovered that on the same evening another section of cable was cut at three different places in Annecke Street, near the site of the new prison. Here too, the criminals failed to

School rugby fight raises serious questions A 12-year-old boy is recovering at home from concussion and other injuries following a beating he received during a primary schools rugby match in Tzaneen on Tuesday.

Tzaneen Primary played host to Louis Trichardt Primary in a league match. It was during the first team game on Tuesday afternoon that HJ van der Nest, a flanker for Tzaneen Primary, was brutally assaulted by a prop from the opposing team.

Spectators watched in horror as the boy was first throttled, then flung to the ground and then repeatedly punched on hid head

and in the face while he lay unconscious on the pitch. The referee, Mr Jacques Rossouw, did not immediately stop the game as he claims not to have been aware of the incident. The assault was finally ended when Mr Hannes Kleynhans, Tzaneen Primary’s team manager, ran onto the field and pulled the much bigger player away from the now unconscious Van der Nest.

Paramedics rushed to the youngster’s aid while his teammates looked on in shock. The offending player was sent off the field and red carded which resulted in an argument amongst the coaches and various spectators of the two teams. Shockingly, not because of what happened, but because the offending player was sent off the field and Louis Trichardt Primary had no substitute for his position. The injured boy was taken off the field and the game continued.

Bulletin spoke to Mr Willem van der Nest, the victim’s father, the following day at Mediclinic Tzaneen where he was awaiting the results of his son’s brain scan.

Van der Nest sr, a former Craven Week rugby player in his day, was not at the game as he works in Mokopane, where he manages the Zebediela Bricks plant. “It was the first game of this season that I missed, but my wife was there and it was very traumatizing for her. Behaviour such as this is unacceptable and my son was really hurt. I was so upset that I considered laying an assault charge,” he said. “Where has the sport gone?

In my opinion that child should be banned from playing any sport as he obviously has a very serious anger problem. We are not happy at all and if the necessary correctional steps are not taken by the schools, we will take legal action.”

The results of the scans found that HJ had suffered concussion and some bruising on his head and face. He has been booked off school until he has fully recovered.

Deputy headmaster and head of sport at Tzaneen Primary, Mr Willes Steenkamp, said the incident has been reported to the chairman of Limpopo Primary Schools Rugby Association, Mr Gustav Grobler, as well as the Blue Bulls Rugby Union.

He added that the referee and linesman on the day have submitted their official reports to the chairman of the Limpopo Primary Referees Association, Mr Loukie Pretorious, for further investigations. “We will no longer allow this type of behaviour at any of the matches that Tzaneen Primary is involved in, either as hosts or as visitors to other schools.

“Nobody will be allowed next to the field during games except for the two coaches of the respective teams,” said Steenkamp.

“Should we find that the conditions at the game are not satisfactory, we will not permit our players onto the field.”

Tzaneen Primary’s headmaster, Mr Vic Rijnen, confirmed Steenkamp’s statements and added that the school does not condone behaviour such as this.

At the time of going to print we were unable to reach the headmaster of Louis Trichardt Primary School. We do, however, have information that the school has submitted their Boksmart teamsheet for scrutiny and that the offending player appeared before a disciplinary committee. It is alleged that he will also receive compulsory psychiatric evaluation from the school councillor and receive anger management therapy.

Rugby-moleste Die skokkende voorval waarin ‘n laerskoolseun vroeër dié week in ‘n rugbywedstryd by die Laerskool Tzaneen aangerand en beseer is, sal hopelik mense se oë laat oopgaan.

Die Laerskool Tzaneen het reeds bevestig dat hulle voortaan geen toeskouers langs die rugbyveld sal toelaat nie — en dat hulle onverbiddelik daarby sal hou.

Dit moet verwelkom word, want die bedenklike gedrag van sommige toeskouers (ouers van spelers?) pla lankal.

Trouens, verlede naweek was daar ook voorvalle wat beskaafde mense nie tot eer strek nie.

Wat is dit met ons Suid-Afrikaners dat ons ‘n sportsoort so kan verafgod dat ons perspektief, gesonde oordeel, goeie maniere, ordentlike taalgebruik en die opvoeding van ons kinders by die agterdeur uitsmyt?

Ouers en ondersteuners (en ongelukkig dikwels ook afrigters) moet beheersd optree, sodat ons gedrag vir ons kinders navolgingswaardig kan wees.

In skole (laer en hoër) moet daar ook gewaak word teen die wen-ten-alle-koste gekheid. Ons kinders moet geleer word dat om waardig te verloor ewe belangrik is as om nederig te wen. Die wenkultuur wat so oppervlakkig aangemoedig word, maak van sommige mense monsters.

Die lewe bestaan nie net uit wen of verloor nie, maar inderdaad uit wen én verloor. In die opvoedkunde behoort dit sentraal te staan en skole wat so sportmal raak dat perspektief verlore raak, moet weer dink. Ons kinders se beste belange moet altyd eerste gestel word.

Bekommernis

4 Junie 2004. Dit was die dae toe die Laeveld tot stilstand gekom het, vir die jaarlikse derby tussen die buurskole in Tzaneen; Ben Vorster en Merensky.

Die derby kan volgende jaar herleef, word verneem, en dit kan weer die sporthoogtepunt van die jaar wees. So het ons “oorboord gegaan” met die Bulletin se voorblad vir 4 Junie 2004; om die derby vir oulaas te adverteer.

Baie dankie Ds Adriaan van Tonder van die NG Tzaneen-Wolkberg skryf: Ons wil graag aan die hele gemeenskap van Tzaneen en selfs verder sê baie, baie dankie vir die hartlike ondersteuning wat ons tydens ons afgelope basaar geniet het.

Daar was helpers, daar was borge, daar was besoekers uit alle oorde. Ons het in elke besoeker iets van die teenwoordigheid van God ervaar omdat elkeen na die beeld van God geskape is. Dankie vir die komplimente, vir die aankope, vir die saam kuier. Dis vir ons belangrik om nie alleen

Vyf honderd jaar gelede het Michel de Montaigne al gesê: “My lewe was gevul met verskriklike onheil en teenspoed... waarvan die meeste nooit gebeur het nie.”

Dit is vandag nog waar. Ons noem dit: “Jy bekommer jou oor niks.”

Volgens ‘n studie wat gedoen is, kan bekommernis by alle mense soos volg ingedeel word: 40% is oor dinge wat nooit gebeur het nie.

30% was oor dinge waaraan ek absoluut niks kon doen of verander nie.

12% gaan oor siektes wat my nie oorgekom het nie.

10% gaan oor klein en onbenullige goed.

8% is oor werklike probleme.

Wat kan bekommernis nie vir ons doen nie? Dit kan nie jou uitstaande rekeninge betaal nie. Ook nie help om jou werk te behou of jou gesin bymekaar te hou nie. Bekommernis sit ook nie kos op die tafel nie. Om die waarheid te sê, bekommernis doen net mooi niks anders as om jou lewe te vernietig nie. Dit is soos om in ‘n wiegstoel te ry — jy is heeltyd besig om te wieg, maar jy is nêrens heen op pad nie.

Dit is nadelig vir jou en vernietig jou gees en uiteindelik jou liggaam. Watter raad is daar? Kom ons gaan na die beste boek wat nog ooit geskryf is oor die mens se emosionele toestand en hulp daarvoor, die Bybel.

Paulus se raad in Filippense 4:6 — “Moet oor niks bekommerd wees nie, maar maak dit aan God bekend deur gebed.” Ons sal die bestuur van ons lewe doelbewus in die hande van die Here moet oorgee en Hom daarmee vertrou. Romeine 8:28 — “Ons weet dat God alles ten goede laat meewerk vir dié wat Hom liefhet.”

Bestee jou energie en tyd om sinvolle oplossings vir die 8% van jou probleme te vind en vertrou die Here met die orige 92%.

Psalm 37:5 — “Laat jou lewe aan die Here oor en vertrou op Hom; Hy sal sorg.”

Briewe • Letters op Sondag op ons eie vir God te aanbid nie, maar ook om by geleenthede soos die Basaar iets met die gemeenskap rondom ons te kan deel as deel van ons praktiese daaglikse geloof.

Ek wil op persoonlike vlak die gemeente bedank vir elkeen se harde werk en toewyding, laat nagte en soms selfs afskeep van hulle gesinne. Ek dink die geleentheid was ’n reuse sukses op alle vlakke. Die

Here het vir ons die meetsnoere op wonderlike plekke laat val.

I also wish to take the opportunity to thank visitors from the English and other language communities. As the Lord Jesus teaches us to be friendly towards all mankind, I trust that you have experienced warmth and friendliness together with tasty food and good company.

Ons sien uit om almal weer volgende jaar by ons te verwelkom. Until then may the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord smile when He thinks of you, may the Lord be graceful unto you and give you peace.

Amen.

Drugs help them forget

Residents in Tzaneen are witnessing an alarming increase in the number of street children as well as young men who are addicted to drugs — mainly cheap stuff such as glue that they inhale, to take them on a “trip”. The Bulletin investigated the current situation and spoke to a number of the so-called street sleepers.

One of the homeless people who has been wondering around Tzaneen for more than fifteen years said that he has been walking the streets all these years, and in order for him to survive he has to use drugs (glue) because it helps him forget all the pain and everything around him.

“It keeps me energised when I am hustling and trying to figure out where I am going to get my next meal. I eat whatever I can get and I sometimes buy bread or pick up whatever I can find in the dustbins”.

Most of the drug addicts sleep on pavements and go without food, water or anything that could give them energy. This makes them to find solace in glue that they

openly inhale.

These young men get their daily fix for as little as R20, while most of them walk around town looking for scrap metal and plastic bottles to sell.

He told us that “for us (the homeless) the streets become an easier option when we run away from home”. Since the number of homeless kids is on the increase it is said that the government should take a drastic decision to remove these drug-addicted youths off the streets, and ensure that they

are taken care off — while at the same time tracking down their families.

“The number of children running away from home is increasing daily,” our informant told us.

A concerned hawker added to the debate by saying, “these young men steal from us, knowing that there’s nothing we can do.

There’s this certain young man who used to come and ask for cigarettes. I would then give him one or two but he kept coming for more. I later decided to stop giving him smokes, and now he just takes without my permission whenever he spots an opportunity”.

Concerned residents of the town is said to be very worried about the increase in numbers of the street kids. People wonder who will take the next (bold) step to have these kids helped and rehabilitated. Another challenge is to reunite these kids with their families.

Hollow secret

Local Government and could bring thousands of tourists to our area the news that matters A grand entrance to the world of tourism awaits Modjadjiskloof with the announcement and revealing of a secret cave, housing an enormous amount of historical evidence about the ancestors of the famous Rain Queen and her followers.

Known as the Manokwe Caves, it served as a safe haven for the Modjadji folks over centuries against larger attacking tribes and other dangers. The caves were said to be big enough to harness a village of people and their livestock for weeks, avoiding the unsuspecting enemy.

A feasibility study on the development of the cages for tourism was completed recently at a cost of R400 000 and presented to the Greater Letaba Municipality (GLM) by the Sustainable Tourism Institute of SA. Money was made available on the budget for the new financial year, to spend on the project. When fully developed, it could become one of the biggest draw cards in Limpopo for tourists worldwide. It may even become more popular than the existing cave spots such as the Cango Caves in the Little Karoo or the Sterkfontein Caves near Krugersdorp.

The caves are in Malematja village and R1,6 million was allocated for the next financial year for the development of small infrastructure like the main entrance, toilets, fencing and a guard room. In the following year excavations will be done, although the development will be slow due to the lack of funds, said Ms Lovers Maenetje, spokesperson for the GLM. At this stage only two major cave sites are open to the public in Limpopo. They are the Makapan Caves near Mokopane and the Echo Caves west from the Strydom Tunnel in the east.

The Manokwe Caves is said to be about between seven and eight kilometres long, housing several large chambers and remnants of human activity from previous centuries. According to tradition ancestors of the Modjadji tribe fled from areas further north of Limpopo in the 17th century to settle in the hills of the kloof area and had access to land between Polokwane and Hoedspruit.

It all started in the 17th century when Dzugundini, the daughter of Chief Monomotapa in Zimbabwe, fell pregnant by his son and had to flee southwards because of the scandal. She and her following settled in the Molototsi valley of the Balobedu kingdom.

A baby was born and named Modjadji (ruler of the day), the Rain Queen. Since then five rain queens have reigned in the region, with the sixth now eleven years old and being educated in Johannesburg before she will be introduced to the regency in Modjadjiskloof.

The Modjadji Royal Family has been declared an official kingdom by the SA government this year, making it one of ten kingdoms recognised by the state in the country.

Very little is known about the caves, its size and hidden secrets. Well-known historian Prof Louis Changuion (of Haenertsburg) said he has heard of the caves, but still awaits more information on its history.

A resident of Modjadjiskloof, Mr Pieter van Niekerk, said the caves could be part of a range of caves above the area where the Modjadji Royal Family reigns. As an ex-councillor of the GLM he regards the development of the caves as a major contributor to tourism in Modjadjiskloof in the future.

Local elections are around the corner, and Bulletin continues to address issues affecting the residents of the municipalities in our area Bulletin’s team is working on the following issues that are certain to cause repercussions. On most of these issues we were waiting for information which we obtained too late for publication today. We thus recommend that you make sure to get next week’s edition (if you have any nerves left to digest more shocking news).

• More alarming information about Tzaneen’s electricity problems and the “dark” future waiting on residents; • Details about Mopani District Municipality’s budget for 2016/2017; • Something smells regarding the GTM’s outdoor advertising policy; and the municipality’s inexplicable lack of updated (valid) by-laws; • How come that one of the MDM’s prestige buildings are leaking like sand running through a screen?; • What is happening at Lepelle North Water who is supposed to protect our water resources and ensure that we enjoy constant supply?

After 31 years this cop is still dedicated Tzaneen Police Cluster spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Moatshe Ngoepe looks back on his 31 years of selfless commitment by sharing some of the interesting cases he has encountered in his career.

It all started in 1985 when he joined the then SAP. Since then he has moved up through the ranks until he was appointed official spokesperson nineteen years ago.

He spoke to Bulletin about his career and how he has enjoyed his time in the SAP and since 1994 in the SAPS. “I have always had a passion to serve and protect the vulnerable groups of society, such as children and the elderly,” Ngoepe said. He explained that before he became a police officer he had tried his hand at different jobs but he

just could not cope.

“I found my niche being a police officer and wearing my uniform and serving the community is what I live for,” he said.

Ngoepe pointed out at that commitment, dedication and discipline as well as maintaining a balance between work and home as what helped him to keep a clean record.

He has been in the environment of media communications as the SAPS spokesperson for the past nineteen years. “Being a spokesperson is being in the most critical environment, but it is simple because it just needs honesty.

“One must ensure that the information you give to media practitioners is correct at all times and if you’re not sure about what they need to know, you

simply ask them to call you later while you investigate. “Journalist are the public’s mouthpiece and ears, therefore they need to obtain and be given the correct information.”

In a career that has spanned 31 years, Ngoepe shared some of his most interesting cases.

The one case that stood out for him was what happened after an incident at Ga-Motupa. A case of culpable homicide had to be investigated, after a man had been knocked over by a car and landed under a bridge.

“As a successful case begins at the crime scene, I went to the bridge to start investigating. I found out that what I was told didn’t make sense. When I went down the river I saw droplets of blood which lead to a grassy area. This

area was opposite a house belonging to the deceased. When I searched the house it was absolutely spotless, but I happened to see a spot under one bed.

“To my surprise I found an axe with traces of blood. The axe had been used to kill the man. The drops of blood at the bridge matched the blood found on the axe. At the end the man’s wife and her brother were arrested for murder and sentenced.”

Ngoepe also pointed out that police officers’ lives are always in danger.

Criminals target the pistols and other firearms that Police carry. “One of the most difficult tasks is to go to the home of a fallen officer, to break the news of the death to the family,” he said.

Holy Family Centre receives generous donation A much-needed donation from Mindshare South Africa and Passion Power was received by the Holy Family Care Centre at Ofcolaco.

The donation of R20 000 in cash, a wheelchair, desks, clothing, toiletries, toys, educational material, vegetables and seeds was reportedly made possible by Mindshare South Africa, Willow Creek Community Church, Boulevard Cycles and a local farmer, Ms Linda Nghatsane on behalf of Passion Power, a motorcycle group originally from Tzaneen.

According to Mr Ndhambi Machimana of Passion Power, known in the riding world as “Switch”, Passion Power has been on a drive to raise donations for the Holy Family Care Centre in the past two months.

“We give thanks to the business community and friends who assisted in pulling these together.”

Another member of Passion Power, Mr Tiyani Rikhotso, known as “Air”, explained that Holy Family Care Centre is their first stop. Later this year they will be selecting another chosen charity as their goals are closely

for seventy children (39 boys and 31 girls).

A Mindshare South Africa representative and Passion Power members spent the day helping and playing with the children at the centre and made a braai for lunch for the kids. The kids were also treated with the singing sounds of bikes.

Anyone who would like to contribute to Holy Family Care Centre can contact Sr Duigan on 071 288 2536.

aligned with keeping more than hope alive.

Sr Sally Duigan of the Holy Family Care Centre said they were very thankful for the donation. They completely rely on a government subsidy, which is not enough to provide for all their efforts.

The centre — administered by an international community of sisters from the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart — was specifically established to provide holistic

support for the needs of the sick and vulnerable, especially orphaned children from all over Limpopo.

Gardening project thrives The extreme weather conditions which recently hit the country resulted in great losses in the farming community, but did not have a great impact on the Mmathakana family gardening project Lenyenye. So says project manager, Mr George Ramodike.

“They say that without water, there can be no crops. And without crops, there can be no income, but in our case we have been surviving,” Ramodike said.

The garden has harvested fresh pumpkins which were planted during the drought earlier this year. “There is nothing impossible if one has determination,” said Ramodike.

He added that they have been producing and supplying their valued customers with fresh vegetables since August 2015.

The Gardening project aims to improve food security and diets of the most vulnerable. Ramodike told the Bulletin that since they started their family gardening project,

One of extended family of potters now teaches in Tzn One can feel the positive creative energy as one steps into Ms Leigh Hoets’s sunny pottery studio on the family Hamawasha farm. Once the students arrive it’s plain to see why they love their pottery classes. The students come from Polokwane, Balule conservancy outside Hoedspruit, Gravelotte and further afield. Ms Hoets (38) is extremely talented, patient and caring and she also has pottery in her genes.

Her late grandmother, Ms Dillys Hoets, was a potter and taught all her children the art of pottery. Her son Mr Garth Hoets, who lives near Pietermaritzburg in KZN, is well known for his decorative pottery. Her other son, Mr Digby Hoets, who lives in Midrand, is famous for his huge pots. Leigh’s cousin Ms Harriet Hoets does pottery

in Cape Town. Leigh’s father taught pottery in Mieliekloof but then turned to farming.

Leigh attended Unicorn Preparatory School and then Capricorn High. She dabbled in photography in Port Elizabeth, became a diving instructor and then started travelling abroad and stayed in the UK for thirteen years. She returned to South Africa to take up her passion for pottery.

Leigh went to one of the

aunts in Cape Town, also a potter, and studied under her for six months.

When she returned to Tzaneen her father helped her build the pottery studio on his farm. Long time potter, Ms Karin Boyum from Haenertsburg, gifted her with an electric kiln and other useful tools. Ms Boyum had taught ceramics at the University of the Witwatersrand before moving to Limpopo.

Kilns can cost anything from R 30,000 upwards. Leigh built the Raku kiln outside. This Japanese type of firing causes a crackled effect. Raku produces decorative works of art not suitable for dishwashers as it’s very porous.

Leigh prefers hand pinching work to the wheel. Her immediate goal is to hold

Komkor hosts training for clients Having been in the business of kitchen design and manufacture for three decades, Komkor has become a respected supplier of some of the industry’s finest manufacturing products. From their warehouse and manufacturing plant in Nkowankowa, Mr Basie Engelbrecht and his wife Erika, have grown from strength to strength.

Clients ranging from the avid DIY homemaker to

large building contractors place their trust in Komkor’s capable hands when it comes to finishings — such as customized kitchen units, cupboards and countertops.

The Nkowankowa operation is divided into two sections which include the walk-in retail floor where customers can purchase their raw materials, and the manufacturing workshop which produces kitchen cupboards and fittings to

Proud owners. After 30 years in the business, Erika and Basie Engelbrecht are still supplying top quality products and services to the local kitchen furniture industry.

the client’s specifications.

They also deliver to site, and boast a skilled installation team which makes sure that any envisioned kitchen becomes a reality.

One of Komkor’s most trusted suppliers of quality wood materials is PG Bison. This past week, representatives from the national supplier paid a visit to the Komkor premises where they treated some of the local ‘woodsmiths’ and kitchen cupboard installers to a demonstration and training on a range of new products,

soon to be launched into the market.

The presentation and training was free to all interested parties and was accompanied by some light snacks and the opportunity for the various industry role players to network. “Giving back to the community is part of what makes Komkor such a valued name in this business,” said one attendee.

Komkor will be celebrating their 30th anniversary later this year.

Oppie Kassie On the Telly Proteas, swemmers en atlete voor in die sportkoor op TV Vir heelparty ondersteuners is die onderbreking in die Superrugbyreeks dalk net so ʼn welkome vakansie soos vir die spelers en afrigters. ʼn Gebrek aan uitsoeksport wat regstreeks op televisie uitgesaai word, is daar egter nie dié naweek nie.

Suid-Afrika se krieketwedstryd teen die Windies in die drienasiereeks waaraan Australië ook deelneem, is één bron van aksie, opwinding en spanning waaraan kykers hulle kan verlustig.

Die eindwedstryde op Roland Garros se rooi tennisbane, Curriebekerrugby, internasionale atletiek, swem en fietsry, asook die verbysterende waagsport-aksie in Japan (die “X-Games”) is van die ander uitsoeksport op die rooster.

Zanis go for gold The full results were: Level 1: Zielke Duvenhage (gold); Anchel Robertson (gold); Gabrielle de Carvalho (gold); Alisha Fritz (gold); Danielle Kasselman (gold).

Level 2: Dorthy de Lange (gold); Dinè Booyse (silver); Lianell Thompson (silver); Kiara van Breda (silver); Jana Prinsloo (gold); Kristi de Jager (gold and team trophy u.9 Level 2); Elnè Haynes (silver); Ntshunxeko Mnisi (gold and team trophy u.11 Level 2).

Level 3: Clarissa Combrink (gold and team trophy u.9 Level 3, overall SA Club Champion); Klara Pretorius (gold and team trophy u.11 Level 3, overall SA Club Champion).

Strongman takes gold George Young , the manager and trainer at Merensky High School’s gymnasium, participated in the finals of the Arnold Classic Africa (a multi sport festival and expo, with patron Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Johannesburg.

He competed in the men’s physique junior category. He did not make it into the top six this year, but “I know the

work I have to put in and I will be taking the gold next year.” It was a great privilege for him to meet some of his role models, like Dexter Jackson (who won the professional bodybuilding category last year).

Young also took part in a strict arm curl competition, where he took the gold medal in the junior category. For him, this was an experience of a lifetime.

Merensky 7’s rugby player in USA Ex Plasie MJ Mulder has been selected to represent the All Stars Invitational 7’s rugby side that will tour to Dallas, Texas (USA) in July. This is certainly a great opportunity and privilege for him. The team will play in the Dallas Quins u.19 international 7’s tournament and will be competing against other international teams from America, Mexico, Australia, Georgia, the Caiman Islands, Poland etc. The tournament will be broadcasted on SuperSport. Mulder is seen here (during the Merensky Rhino 7’s season) with team mate Mikyle le Roux.

Vossie presteer in internasionale atletiekbyeenkoms… Lara Schutte van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster het as lid van Limpopo se 4 x 100 m-junior span aan die ASA-“afterdark” internasionale byeenkoms in Polokwane deelgeneem. Dit is ‘n aflosbyeenkoms om nasionale atlete ‘n laaste kans te bied om vir die Olimpiese Spele

te kwalifiseer. Atlete van Botswana, Lesotho en Swaziland het ook deelgeneem. Limpopo se junior span het onder andere teen die SA senior aflos-span asook die SA junior aflosspan deelgeneem.

Limpopo se juniors het vierde geëindig. Lara staan hier tweede van links saam met die ander lede van die span.

Zanis Gymnastics go for gold

Zanis excelled at the recent SAGF Level 1-3 Club Team & Individual Competition, where fifteen of Zanis Tzaneen’s rhythmic gymnasts competed. It was an incredible experience for all Zanis gymnasts competing at Wits University.

Zanis Gymnastics Academy Tzaneen entered five teams for the Team Competition and won four team trophies, eleven gold medals and four silver medals!

Die drie atlete van Tzaneen wat Sondag aan die Comrades Marathon deelgeneem en terselfdertyd geld vir die SA Vrouefederasie se Tzaneen-tak ingesamel het, het heel voorspoedig gehardloop en volgens ‘n SAVF-woordvoerder ook ‘n mooi bedrag ingesamel.

Anel Swart het die wedloop in 10:27 voltooi, Paul Zaayman was saam met haar in dieselfde tyd by die eindpunt en Shirley Stewart het 9:33 na die wegspring oor die eindstreep gehardloop. Die atlete sê hulle is dankbaar vir goeie gesondheid en vir die geleentheid om te kan hardloop, waardeur hulle nou ook ‘n verskil in ander se lewens kon maak.

Wildcard upset for Polokwane The two month-long 2016 Smirnoff 1818 Raga Bolo street soccer tournament finally came to a head the past weekend in Polokwane, when teams from Mbombela and Sheshego met for the regional finals. The event was a grand affair at The Ranch

Laryn Bezuidenhout, ‘n perderuiter van die Tzaneen Equestrian Centre, het in Polokwane aan die tweede ronde van SANESA se Limpopo-afdeling deelgeneem — die nasionale skolekompetisie vir ruiters. Laryn (gr 10) is ‘n leerling van die Hoërskool Merensky. Sy neem deel in die 1 m-klas vertoonspring vir hoërskole en het twee eerste plekke in haar klas behaal.

“Daar is vyf Bulle te veel in Allister se span,” sê GertGrensvegter Saterdagaand na die aankondiging van die Bokspan.

Veelseggend, komende van ‘n stoere BB-ondersteuner, maar dan ís sy span oomblikke vantevore met 56-20 deur die Leeus afgeransel.

“Dit kan jy weer sê,” vat KoosKakie die gesprek toe verder, “en sestien Leeus te min, al het Heineken nie eers die span gekies nie. Om ook nie eers te praat van die twaalf Stommerds te veel in die span nie, maar ‘n mens kan sien waar die Bok-afrigter vandaan kom, dis net jammer hy het nie ‘n handvol Japanese ook gekies nie.”

“Aai ounlie kaunt naain Stômers,” sê ArthurIngelsman.

“Dis net idiote en koerantskrywers, wat na alle waarskynlikheid dieselfde ding is, wat nie sal dink Duane, Flouw en Vlam Kitshoff is nie ook Stommerds nie,” reken ou KK toe.

‘Tja, Oubal dink daar was die afgelope week talle sulke gesprekke van verontwaardiging oor die land heen, wat al sedert Paul Roos se dae die trant was met die aankondiging van ‘n Bokspan. Minstens wys dit dat ons te midde van alles darem nog normaal is, en Allister wys dat hy ook normaal is deur soos alle afrigters voor hom voorkeur te gee aan spelers bekend aan hom.

Maar Oubal kan nie te veel fout vind met Allister se keuses nie, gegewe die voorskriftelike beperkings waaraan hy onderworpe is. Verblydend is dat hy nie hierdie nuwe era betree met die spelers wat in 2007 die WB gewen het nie.

just outside Polokwane.

Four teams, two from Mbombela and two from Polokwane were listed as the headlining games while four “wildcard entries” acted as openers to a day filled with top notch soccer action.

The games format was changed slightly for this event and consisted of only one half of ten minutes playing time. After a shocking display by the wildcard teams, Dave Tavern from Mbombela snuck into the semi-finals on the day by winning each of their four opening games and playing to a draw against Polokwane champions, Percy’s Pepsi Wholesalers.

Not only did these wildcard underdogs win every one of the matches convincingly after that, but went on to face local runners-up, Mum’s Tavern in

Allister Vat Raak

the final play on the day. After a hard fought clash, the game went down to penalties which handed Dave’s Tavern the win.

This means that one team from Polokwane and one team from Mbombela will travel to Gauteng to play for the grand prize of R100 000 against the top two teams from every other province during June.

Die dooie hout is uitgesny en jong belowende spelers kry nou die kans om hul staal te wys. Sekerlik gaan nie almal van hulle die mas opkom nie, maar dis ook hoe dit nog altyd was.

Inderdaad is daar ‘n paar keuses wat selfs Oubal sy wenkbroue laat lig het. Die jong Garth April is bitterlik onervare, maar Oubal gee toe hy het baie potensiaal getoon in die paar Superwedstryde wat hy gespeel het. Ons is egter tans bitter skraal op losskakel, en dis onwaarskynlik dat April vir die Bokke gaan speel as Lambie en Jantjies beskikbaar is. Oubal verwag dat hy een van die vier spelers gaan wees wat gaan afskuif na die SA A-span, waar Francois Brummer die enigste losskakel in die groep is.

Die grootste verrassing vir Oubal was egter die insluiting van Nic Groom. Ons is egter nog skraler op skrumskakel en Ruan Pienaar is (genadiglik) nie beskikbaar nie. So, Allister kon selfs vir Dawie de Villiers gekies het, dit sou nie veel aan die situasie verander het nie. Minstens het hy nie op Posduif Schreuder besluit nie.

Oubal verwelkom ook die insluiting van slegs drie oor-

sese spelers. Dit stuur ‘n baie sterk sein uit dat as jy vir jou land wil speel, jy jou talente plaaslik ten toon moet stel. Duane se ervaring, bewese talent en leierseienskappe is uiters nodig, Flouw in ‘n mindere mate so. Waar Kitshoff in die prentjie inpas is ietwat duister, nie dat Oubal twyfel in sy vermoë nie. Oubal het egter ‘n voëltjie hoor fluit dis om te verhoed dat hy kwalifiseer om vir Frankryk te speel.

‘Tja, soos Oubal verwag het, het Allister vir Adriaan Strauss aangewys as kaptein teen die Iere, ‘n keuse waaroor daar dalk in Leeu-kringe gemor sal word, maar sekerlik het sy senioriteit die deurslag gegee. Al wat oorbly is om te wag en sien met watse spelpatroon Allister-hulle vorendag gaan kom, maar Oubal hou van die geluide wat hy maak oor meer aanvallend speel.

Laastens, Oubal is verheug met Johann Ackermann se aanwysing as afrigter van die A-span. As hy dit gaan regkry om hulle in die beskikbare tyd soos die Leeus te laat speel, lê daar opwindende tye voor.

Laat die spele begin!
