Court, this choir is the pride of Modjadjiskloof. Thanks to the big effort of participants from Limpopo participating in various categories in the SA Championships the trophy once again comes home to Limpopo!

Avo-reus ontwaak ‘n Projek van meer as R500 miljoen is by Sapekoe en die Makgobas se teeplantasies aan die gang, om dit te omskep in florerende avokado-eenhede wat groot buitelandse valuta vir Limpopo kan verdien. Die nuwe plan met die mislukkende

teelandgoed is dié week eksklusief deur ZZ2 se voorsitter, mnr Tommie van Zyl (regs)), bevestig — na intense onderhandelings tussen die tamatiereus, die Makgobas en ander rolspelers oor die afgelope maande. ‘n Groot deel van die tee-

plantasies is reeds ontbos om plek te maak vir uitvoer-avo’s onder die handelsnaam Makgoba Afrika en die skepping van werkgeleenthede vir die plaaslike bevolking.

New cigarette law will not necessarily stop smokers In a new study into the SA government’s proposed introduction of plain tobacco packaging, Helvin Manuel, an MBA graduate of the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB), found that this alone would not be enough to reduce the consumption of tobacco products and it would have a significant impact on law enforcement and taxes.

As part of his MBA, Manuel studied the potential impact of non-branded packaging on the purchasing behaviour and product experience of cigarette consumers drawing on additional learning from Australia, the first in the world to implement such a strategy in 2011.

With the legal market size of the SA tobacco industry estimated to be more than 20 billion cigarette sticks, valued in excess of R30 billion, the possibility of this new legislation is a concern to the local tobacco industry as it could potentially have a direct impact on profit margins.

“Since the amendment to the Tobacco Product Control Act implemented in 1999 banning all advertising, packaging has become an important part of marketing with signifi-

cant investments to differentiate between brands in different segments, to increase brand equity and perceived quality and to serve as an advertising tool.”

Manuel’s simulation study of 22 SA smokers who each had to smoke their brand in plain white packs for a period of five days, found that the longer consumers interacted with the plain tobacco packaging, the more familiar they became with the packs and that seemed to lessen the initial negative perceptions. Some even indicated that they might use cigarette holders as a substitute which could potentially offer some form of branding opportunities for tobacco manufacturers.

“Since all brand equity had been removed from the cigarette packaging and without product differentiation tobacco manufacturers cannot charge a premium for their various products. Some consumers indicated that they did not get the same value from their brands and felt that the prices of cigarettes should be standardised across the board. This could potentially increase the demand and usage of cigarettes mirroring what happened in the Australian market where the decline in prices resulted in an increase in consumption.”

However Manuel found that the value for money consumer approved more of the plain packs. “The taste of the cigarettes and the price of the packs are more important than the image of the brand.”

Manuel says that although governments have good intentions with the implementation of plain tobacco packaging, there are certain unintended consequences that have to be taken into account when such legislation is drafted.

“Plain tobacco packaging will make counterfeiting of original products easier and pose a challenge for law enforcement. This illicit trade could also lead to governments losing money from possible taxes that could have been received from the legal tobacco industry. A study conducted by KPMG in 2013 in Australia found that the increase in illicit products since the implementation of plain tobacco packaging has resulted in a loss of £560 million (R12 billion currently) in taxes.”

Manuel does point out that non branded packs are seen as less attractive and ‘un-cool’ posing embarrassment which could potentially deter younger people from taking smoking up in the first place.

“Smokers are emotional in their behaviour and brand choices. Many took up smoking due to peer pressure, the perceived social acceptance and the status the brand equity of premium cigarettes portrayed. My study found that the psychological impact of the non-branded packs led to some consumers experiencing a change in the taste and performance of the cigarettes, although the product itself had not changed. This will even have a direct impact on new consumers considering taking up smoking.”

The participants in the research study all started smoking between the ages of 12 and 21 years with well over 80% starting whilst at school. They had to complete a daily online journal, expressing their interaction with the plain packs over the five days by way of preset questionnaires prepared by Manuel and a live online forum on completion.

Apologie

Ons maak verskoning vir beloftes oor nuusberigte wat ons nie vandag nakom nie. Ons het ‘n lang lys van sake wat ons met die GTM probeer uitklaar, maar ons misluk keer op keer.

Ingevolge ons etiese kode publiseer ons nie sonder om die ander kant/party(e) geleentheid op kommentaar te bied nie. Dit werk egter nie meer met die GTM nie. Die Bulletin word reeds sedert Oktober verlede jaar deur die GTM met advertensies geboikot.

Ons het dit reeds aan die burgemeester, die munisipale bestuurder, die finansiële bestuurder en selfs die regsbeampte gestel dat ons nie met advertensie gekoop kan word nie, al is advertensies ‘n koerant se lewensbloed. Die waarnemende (al vir sowat drie jaar) hoof van kommunikasie van die GTM is so besig met politieke speletjies om sy seniors te beïndruk, dat hy in elk geval nie sy werk doen nie. Hy reageer nie eens op navrae nie.

Ons het na drie weke se gesukkel ‘n afspraak met die speaker gekry, wat blyk om om te gee vir die sake van die GTM en hulp wil verleen. Maar toe ons Dinsdagog-

gend om 08:00 vir ‘n afspraak met hom opdaag, was hy nie beskikbaar nie — vanweë ‘n krisis, is ons meegedeel.

Ons sal dus nou ‘n ander roete volg, ten einde verslag te kan doen aan die gemeenskap oor die sake waarop inwoners antwoorde verdien. Die volgende sake is op ons lys en ons sal volgende week sonder kommentaar van die GTM die sake oopvlek: • Ons het inligting (met dokumente in ons besit) oor “probleme” met die GTM se beleid en toepassing van beheer oor buite-advertensies en plakkate ien die toekenning van kontrakte hiervoor • Die GTM se verordeninge (by-laws) wat vrae laat ontstaan • Nog inligting oor die GTM se elektristeitsprobleme en die donkerte wat op die dorp en distrik wag • Vrae oor GTEDA, Radio GTfm, die parke-afdeling, personeelaanstellings, misbruik van munisipale eiendom, die verkeersgevaar in Claude Wheatley-straat, ensovoorts.

Ons sal nou oor die sake berig, sonder verdere pogings om die GTM se kommentaar te vra.

Tzaneen verloor hoof van elektrisiteit Tzaneen se direkteur: elektriese ingenieurswese, mnr Pierre van den Heever, het bedank en hy sal aan die einde van Julie die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit se diens verlaat. Hy het ‘n pos in die WesKaap aanvaar.

Van den Heever het op 1 Mei 1991 diens as adjunk-hoof van elektrisiteit van die destydse Tzaneen Munisipaliteit aanvaar. In die 25 jaar sedert hy in Tzaneen begin werk het, het die dorp baie uitgebrei en na 1994 het die distrik se las op elektrisiteitsinfrastruktuur geweldig verhoog.

Van den Heever is die enigste persoon in die elektrisiteitsafdeling wat ‘n lisensie van die Regering het, soos wat deur die

Regruk-beraad vir Tzaneen belê Boere en die publiek van Tzaneen word vanoggend tot orde geroep om die skaal van misdaad en die voorkoming daarvan in beheer te kry.

Mense van alle sektore van die landbou kom om 09:30 op die skouterrein byeen, om ‘n gesonde grondslag te vorm vir plaasveiligheid, samewerking met die polisie en die handhawing van orde in die groter Letabagebied.

Die byeenkoms is deur AgriLetaba gereël, in samewerking met veiligheidstakke van boereverenigings wat steeds sukkel om ‘n werkbare gedragskode oor veiligheid in die gemeenskap ingestel te kry.

Dit volg op ‘n opskerpingsplan van Tzaneen se SA Polisiediens wat die herontplooiing van nuwe “ou” lede gelas het, om ‘n verskil aan die bestaande misdaadstatistiek te maak. Lt Gen Maggie Mathebula is uit Polokwane teruggeroep om as sektorhoof te dien, terwyl haar voorganger, brig Thomas Shingange, as bevelvoerder van die Tzaneen-polisiekantoor aangestel is. Albei het wye ervaring van die gebied en sy misdaadpatroon.

Volgens AgriLetaba sal dit ‘n einde bring aan onlangse on-

3

sekerheid in polisiekringe oor ‘n afwatering van magte wat deur die veiligheidsgroepe in die SAPD ervaar is.

Mnr Corrie Large, belas met veiligheid by AgriLetaba, het Woensdag by AgriLetaba se maandvergadering gesê vandag se vergadering sal ‘n nuwe dimensie aan veiligheid gee. Duidelike stiplyne sal getrek word om te sien hoe elkeen in die veiligheidsketting inskakel. As dit gedoen is, sal die polisie ingeroep word om hul rol in die orde te verstaan.

Vanoggend se byeenkoms is op aandrang van mnr Willem van Vuuren, die uitvoerende hoof van AgriLimpopo, wat ingeskakel is by alle sektore van veiligheid in die provinsie.

Hy is hoogs bekommerd oor die swak reaksie op plaasveiligheid in Tzaneen en omstreke. Hy het aan boere gesê noodmaatreels is reeds in werking in die westelike dele van Limpopo en ook in die verre oostelike dele, maar tussenin is daar ‘n leemte wat sy hare laat rys.

“Kom ons stel ‘n grondplan saam waarmee ons die SAPD in misdaadbestryding kan help. Dis nie ‘n bakleisessie nie, maar ‘n poging om almal van ons in veiligheid tot orde te roep.”

Wet vereis word. Sy opvolger sal dus van buite moet kom en daar is ‘n erge tekort aan gelisensieerde elektristeitsingenieurs in die land. Van den Hever sê hy verlaat Tzaneen met ‘n swaar hart, want 25 jaar in ‘n gemeenskap maak mens absoluut deel van die gemeenskap.

AgriLetaba se boere het Woensdag met skok by hul maandvergadering van Van den Heever se bedanking kennis geneem en daar is gesê hy het nooit moeite ontsien om boere te help as hulle elektrisiteitsprobleme ondrvind het nie.

Rugby brawl investigated

Avo-reus ontwaak Makgoba Afrika is die naam wat in die nabye toekoms uit die heuwels van die Sapekoe Teelandgoed buite Tzaneen sal weerklink, as een van die grootste avokadoprodusente ter wêreld.

Dit is die blye vooruitsig vir die toekoms van 2 250 ha grond van die Makgoba Trust, waarvan ‘n groot deel in sukkelende teeplantasies verval het en binne die volgende dekade teen ‘n kapitale koste van minstens R500 miljoen ontwikkel sal word. Die Makgobas het ‘n verdere 2 500 ha, wat hoofsaaklik bosbou, subtropiese vrugte en natuurbewaringsveld huisves.

Die nuwe projek van waardeskepping word toegeskryf aan ‘n fyn saamgestelde reddingsplan in samewerking met die avo- en tamatiereus ZZ2, wat ‘n notariële verbintenis van veertig jaar met die Makgobas gesluit het om die 591 begunstigdes van die Trust na volhoubaarheid te lei en die grond se produksievermoë optimaal te benut, tot almal se voordeel.

Mnr Tommie van Zyl, die besturende direkteur van Bertie van Zyl Boerdery (Edms) Bpk (ZZ2), sê die benadering tot die herontwikkeling van die Makgobas en Sapekoe was uit die staanspoor deursigtig, met twee vereistes wat tot sukses sou lei. Die eerste was geduld om die voorwaardes en regstegniese aspekte in lyn te bring, en tweedens sou niemand in die proses by die regering gaan bakhand staan om gehelp te word nie.

ZZ2 se masjinerie het reeds met die ontbossing van die teeplantasies op Geluksfontein naby Politsi begin, waar sowat 110 ha skoonge-

maak is. “Ons is beslis nie agter die grond aan nie, want ZZ2 het self meer as 1 600 ha in voorraad vir avo-verbouing,” sê Van Zyl. Dis volgens hom ‘n bemagtigenBJ van Zyl de ontwikkeling deur vennootskap om die omgewing van Tzaneen te bevoordeel.

Avo-boorde net noord van Politsi wat deur ZZ2 ontwikkel is, is as voorbeelde aan die Makgoba Trust gewys van hoe die ontwikkeling by Sapekoe vorentoe sal lyk. Die bemarkingsnaam sal Makgoba Afrika wees en dit word bedryf deur Makgoba Asset Management (MAM), met mnr BJ van Zyl as projekbestuurder.

Die aandeelhouding in die ontwikkeling van Makgoba Asset Management, soos die projek bekend staan, is 49% deur die Makgoba Trust en 49% deur ZZ2.

Kwessies wat nog uitgestryk moet word, is die invordering van huurgeld op verskeie wonings op die landgoed wat aan private mense verhuur word. ‘n Dagbestuur is glo verantwoordelik hiervoor, maar huurders kla oor water, krag en swak diens. Pekoe Tea Garden, ‘n toeristerestourant wat al baie jare bestaan, moes sy deure sluit weens die gebrek aan water. Met die nuwe vennootskap het ZZ2 reeds gesorg dat ‘n trustrekening vir die doel geskep is, terwyl voorsiening ook vir veiligheid op die hele terrein gemaak is.

The dust has not settled, after last week’s report by the Bulletin about an incident in a primary schools rugby match between Tzaneen Primary and Louis Trichardt Primary.

A complaint was lodged with the Blue Bulls Limpopo Primary Schools Rugby Union against a Louis Trichardt Primary rugby player involved in a brawl during his school’s game against Tzaneen Primary.

This was confirmed by the union’s chairperson, Mr Gustav Grobler. According to him, the matter is not being taken lightly.

In response to the article and our request for him to comment on the incident, Louis Trichardt Primary School headmaster Mr Louis Linde, condemned his pupil’s behaviour in the strongest terms. “We are a value-driven school and our learners respect our values. This was an isolated incident and in the past ten years an incident like this, has never been recorded,” he said. “According to our disciplinary code, the learner was disciplined and

Former director back in court The former director of water services of the Mopani District Municipality (MDM), Itumeleng Charmaine Ledwaba, was back in the Tzaneen Magistrate’s Court.

She joined the MDM in

November 2009, when she was appointed as a project manager and in July 2012 as the director of water services with an annual salary of more than R2 million.

In September that year she

was suspended after it was alleged that the municipal preliminary investigations discovered that she might have produced fraudulent qualifications when applying for the position.

On Wednesday the case was in court again, in order for Ledwaba’s lawyer to confirm their availability for the case to be heard on 28 June.

consultation sessions took place. A meeting with the parents and coaches was conducted to discuss the way forward. The learner regrets his behaviour and has apologised.”

Linde was not available when we tried to contact him last week and the previous week, since he had to attend to official education department matters in Polokwane and elsewhere. However, when we finally managed to connect Linde he dealt with our enquiry in a courteous, very matured, transparent and open way.

In the meantime Grobler said about the matter: “A disciplinary hearing will be held in the following week, or just after the long weekend, with the boy in question and his parents, coaches and the relevant parties.

I cannot comment on the outcome of the hearing, nor am I at liberty to discuss the incident as all the facts have not yet been discussed by the senior members of the board”.

He added: “This was an isolated incident and the first of its kind in the last year

people and children receiving cancer treatment at the oncology unit and that the patients could really do with caring people to visit and help. The Interact Club decided to make up “care packs” for the children in the children’s oncology ward. The club members made play-dough, sourced

since my term as chairperson of this union started. We will issue a media statement on the outcome of the hearing after the sitting.”

Bulletin reported on an incident during a rugby match between the two schools, where a 12-year old flanker from Tzaneen Primary was assaulted by a prop from the opposing team. The victim suffered concussion and some bruising as a result of the beating and received medical treatment at Mediclinic Tzaneen the following day.

Bulletin’s report, and accompanying photographs of the fight, caused uproar in the local rugby community specifically over social media where parents raised their concerns over the governing of the sport at primary school level to prevent such incidents from occurring.

Sadly some people, including a schools rugby trainer, chose rather to target the messenger (Bulletin) about reporting on the incident than to condemn the incident.

House Robberies are on the increase Crime in and around Tzaneen’s residential areas has picked up momentum as a number of incidents were reported by local security companies this last week. In the most recent incident a middle-aged woman was robbed at knifepoint in her home in King Edward Street in broad daylight.

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon as the victim was taking her laundry off the line. She lives with her daughter who was reportedly not at home at the time. When the lady took the laundry in she was followed inside by a young male. The suspect wielded a knife and demanded she hand over all cel-

lular phones in the home. Moments later he fled with her handbag and one phone.

She did not sustain any injuries during the robbery and armed response units from local security companies responded to an emergency call. A search for the suspect was launched and the SAPS were activated. Forensic investigators combed the scene, but at the time of going to print no arrests had yet been made.

This is the second incident of its kind reported in King Edward Street in the last two months. In April an elderly citizen was overpowered in his house in this infamous street,

by two armed men who gained entry to his.

The man was assaulted by the suspects and robbed of the money he had on his person.

Only after grabbing an antique rifle off his wall, did the two assailants flee.

“We urge citizens in Tzaneen to be vigilant when they are at home, no matter what time of day it may be,” warned Northern Security officer Marius Jacobs. “The criminals are no longer afraid to enter your premises during the day, especially when they know you are alone at home. Keep your safety gates locked at all times and never let anyone into your property if you don’t know the person.”

Sy is as onderwyser opgelei en het ‘n hele paar bibliotekarisse en biblioteekassistente deeglik opgelei. Juis danksy dit sal die goeie diens by die biblioteek steeds gelewer word.

Sy is bemin deur haar kollegas en twee vaarwelpartytjies is vir haar gereël: een deur die biblioteekpersoneel van al vyf die GTM se biblioteke, en nog een deur haar kollegas by die GTM se kantoor in Letsitele. Haar personeel, mee Ouma Kheswa, Siphiwe Ngobeni en Ouma Mamaregane, sal haar baie mis.

According to Jacobs, Park Street, Aquapark and Premier Park are currently hotspots for criminal activity and specifically house robberies. He said that the notorious “Bolt Cutter” has also become a cause for concern. “We now have information that he is not working alone and has an accomplice.

Their modus operandi is to gain access to your home through cutting the burglar bars with a bolt cutter. We therefore emphasise the importance of closing all your windows at night when you go to sleep.”

Goeie nuus

Goeie nuus is tans maar bitter skaars in ons land. Die regerende party spog graag met die goeie boodskap wat hulle het, maar dit is ‘n boodskap wat ongelukkig mank gaan aan die nodige geloofwaardigheid.

Tzaneen is gelukkig dat ons vandag (eksklusief op die voorblad) goeie nuus vir die omgewing kan aankondig. Ons is al maande lank bewus van die projek, maar op versoek van die betrokke partye het ons dit met die nodige vertroulikheid gehanteer; totdat ons gister die groen lig gekry het om te publiseer.

Die presiese omvang van die projek in monetêre terme is nie vir algemene kennis bedoel nie, maar ons kan bevestig dat baie miljoene rand in die ontbossing van die teeplantasies en die aanplant van avokadoboorde belê word.

Dat een van die land se grootste en suksesvolste boerdery-ondernemings die projek bestuur en in vennootskap met die Makgobas sal bedryf en bestuur, bied daaraan geloofwaardigheid en die versekering dat dinge reg gedoen sal word.

Baie nuwe werkgeleenthede wat geskep word, is van die beste nuus vir ons omgewing en dit kom baie tydig.

Dat Makgoba Afrika oor ‘n paar jaar valuta vir die land sal verdien, is verdere goeie nuus. Eweneens is die goeie inspuiting wat dit noodwendig vir sakevertroue in die plaaslike ekonomie sal gee, uiters welkom.

Ons verwelkom die koms van Makgoba Afrika en wens die Makgobas en die ZZ2-groep groot sukses toe.

Mag Makgoba Afrika gedy.

Stephen Madiye van Tzaneen se Marathonklub het ‘n silwer medalje in die Comrades Marathon verower. Hy is vandag ons plaaslike held vir sy baie goeie prestasie. Op bladsy 16 is die uitslae van die klub se lede wat aan die Comrades deelgeneem en ons gemeenskap trots gemaak het.

Corruption!

We read about it daily, it seems to have become the norm of life. We then try to find the guilty party and often put the blame on someone before even knowing the facts.

Op 11 Junie 2004 het die Bulletin op die voorblad eksklusief berig dat ‘n prokureur van Tzaneen, mnr Conrad Krüger, aankondig dat hy R100 miljoen gaan belê in die ontwikkeling van ‘n sekuriteitsoord langs die Tzaneendam (nou bekend as Golden Acres). Daar is verder berig oor die lugskou later daardie maand; en van drie kandidate vir ‘n tussenverkiesing in die GTM se wyk 19.

Who is to blame? Are we too judgemental? What about our own lives, are we too not guilty of corruption in some form or other?

The Bible is supposed to be our source of inspiration, our guide to the right way to live, yet often we use it for our own benefit. We quote from the scriptures, yet how often do we understand the true meaning behind them? Using the scriptures for our own gain is a form of corruption, we should use them as an enhancement for all.

Tithing to your church is important and you need to know what the money so gained is used for. There must be checks and balances, yet how often do we see “pastors” riding in the top of the range vehicles, which have been given to them from church funds?

There is an old saying “he has the gift of the gab” now this can be related to many a preacher and often they can get the people so worked up that they will donate almost anything.

Back in history we can also see this same trend; Hitler was able to work the people up that they would be willing to do anything for him, even murder. Now I am not saying that all preachers are corrupt but there are many that are out there for their own gain.

Now I have sketched a scenario let me get to the point; I said that we too maybe guilty of corruption, looking at it from a different point of view. We corrupt God’s promises to us by often not believing that they will come true and thus our faith becomes weak. We become spiritually corrupt, turning to other means for gratification to achieve our goals.

It takes a really strong person to believe in today’s world, where many are breaking down the institution of the Church as a whole by referring to it as just another means of entertainment.

If we look at the pomp and ceremony of some churches, mainline as well, on can easily come to this conclusion. The Church is supposed to be the body of Christ are we not perhaps corrupting it ourselves? Doing our part in spreading the word of God will bring us much joy and we will know that we had no part in the corruption of the church.

God Bless

Do you know your councillor?

In less than three month’s time you will enter the polling booth to cast your vote in the municipal elections.

Do you know your current councillor? Do you see him regularly? Do you know how and when he attends to the real problems in the community?

Markdata conducted a nationwide Omnibus study amongst 2 300 respondents towards the end of last year. Personal, faceto-face interviews were conducted in both urban and rural areas. Fieldwork took place during August 2015 using a structured questionnaire.

People were asked whether they had access to, or knew how to get access to their councillors if needed and whether they knew if these councillors had done anything in the past year to improve conditions in their municipal wards.

Two thirds (66%) indicated that they do not have access to their councillors. Only around one third (34%) indicated that they do have access. When asked whether they knew if their councillor had done anything in the past year to improve conditions in their ward, a resounding 72% said no and only 28% said yes.

For the rating of the councillors the overall Living Standards Measurment Index (LSM) mean score was 3,4 — which is very low indeed. This was cross tabulated by LSM. The lower the LSM the less satisfied respondents were with their councillors. For the lowest LSM (LSM 1) the mean score was 0,3 out of 10 and for the highest (LSM 10) the score was 3,9 out of 10.

The responses to the final open-ended question illustrated that negative categories mainly translate into a lack of contact with, and low or non-existent service delivery

and performance by councillors.

To conclude, the results do not indicate that local councillors do not perform their functions, rather, that what they do is not visible or that they are not known to the constituents. A little goes a long way in this regard! And ironically, those in lower LSM’s are still not seeing any progress through the actions of their councillors.

There is a perception that voters are only acknowledged when their vote is needed, as mentioned by one respondent: “We will see them when it is election time.”

Research company Markdata was then asked to include a number of questions as part of the national survey. The researchers were left feeling so unsettled by the findings that they had KPMG check the numbers in the report against those in the survey by Markdata. They all tally up.

The results are revealing, to say the least.

They confirm an urgent need for South Africa’s government to significantly improve the quality of its administration, as well as economic and social development and service delivery to communities at the local level.

The report isolates some of the factors at play in determining the positioning of the various municipalities and makes certain key recommendations to enhance governance.

Finally, the report shared Markdata’s analysis on local ward councillors. In the main, it demonstrates that the vast majority of people neither know their ward councillor, nor how to access them, and that they have not experienced any gains from the work of their councillors in the last year. The overall ranking of councillors is poor, averaging less than 4/10 across the sample. The general feeling is

summed up by one indicative comment that “we will see them when it is election time.”

This leaves us with a conundrum: if governance in a democratic sense is, as we would like to believe, “of the people, by the people, for the people”, then how can we reconcile this with a situation in which the people largely do not feel represented, are frustrated, dissatisfied and in some instances radically disillusioned — independent of age, colour, gender, language, province or socio-economic group?

How can we speak of people governing when they don’t even know — or know how to access — their local councillors at the grassroots level?

A legislative defect protects constituency-based town councillors from real accountability to their electorates. The electoral system at the local government level is hybrid, and includes an element of constituency-related activities as well as proportional representation.

In the former, citizens in a specific ward directly elect the individual they want to be a ward councillor; in the latter, citizens cast a vote for a political party and it is a party that decides who occupies (in proportion to its gains) the council seat(s) reserved for proportional representation lists. However, once elected, councillors are beholden to the whims of the party that nominated them.

It is a dangerous situation in any society where a majority does not believe that the rule of law will be honestly maintained, and where it feels that the taxes it pays will be wasted by corrupt and incompetent officials. * Data was sourced from Statistics South Africa, the Gaffney Local Government Yearbook (2013-2015), the Auditor General’s Reports, the Extended Public Works Programme and the National Treasury.

Fear lessl y the tr uth

Mazda Motor Corporation unveiled the rotary-powered Mazda RX-VISION sports car concept at the Tokyo Motor Show at the end of last year — and the latest news is that Mazda is working on the concept to build a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car with exquisite proportions and powered by the next-generation SkyActiv-R rotary engine. Rotary engines feature a unique construction, generating power through the rotational motion of a triangular rotor. Overcoming numerous technical diffi-

culties, Mazda succeeded in commercializing the rotary engine, fitting it in the Mazda 110S in 1967. As the only automaker to mass-produce the rotary engine, Mazda continued efforts to improve power output, fuel economy and durability, and in 1991 took overall victory at 24 hours of Le Mans with a rotary engine-powered race car.

While mass production is currently on hold, Mazda has never stopped research and development efforts towards the rotary engine.

Mazda MX-5 takes top honours Mazda has taken triple honours in the 2016 UK Car of the Year Awards. The all-new Mazda MX-5 was crowned both the Open Top Car of the Year and the overall winner of Car of the Year Awards, whilst the Mazda2 won the Best Supermini category. An independent set of awards specifically aimed at naming the best new cars on the market in the United Kingdom, the UK Car of the Year awards are judged by 27 of Britain’s leading automotive journalists.

Taking the overall Car of the Year title, the all-new Mazda MX-5 has added to its impressive awards tally, which includes ten new honours in 2016 alone. It won the Imported Convertible category of German maga-

zine Auto, Motor & Sport’s ‘Best Cars 2016’ reader’s choice awards, and was voted ‘Best Cabrio of the Year’ by Portuguese magazine Turbo.

In Australia, the MX-5 was named 2016 Wheels Car of the Year for the third time in the model’s history. It was also voted US News & World Report’s ‘Best Sports Car for the Money 2016’, and, in Canada, TSN Motoring TV’s ‘Sports car of the Year’. Also named 2015-16 Japan Car of the Year and the Japan Automotive Hall of Fame’s 2015-16 Car of the Year, the latest incarnation of the iconic roadster has reaffirmed Mazda’s dominance of the affordable sports car sector. The lightest MX-5 since the iconic original, the all-new Mazda MX-5 is shorter, lower and wider than the outgoing car.

Celebrating the Legend Solihull, UK, 29 January 2016 — Land Rover celebrated 68 years of history today as the last of the current Defenders was produced at its famous Solihull production facility.

At this occasion Dr Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, said: “Today we celebrate what generations of men and women have done since the outline for the Land Rover was originally drawn in the sand. The Series Land Rover, now Defender, is the origin of our legendary capability, a vehicle that makes the world a better place, often in some of the most extreme circumstances. There will always be a special place in our hearts for Defender, among all our employees, but this is not the end.

We have a glorious past to champion, and a wonderful future to look forward to.”

Nick Rogers, Group Engineering Director at Jaguar Land Rover, added: “The world has changed dramatically in the last 68 years, but this vehicle has remained a constant — something no other vehicle can claim. The last of the current Defender models embraces the vehicle’s simplicity, honesty and charm — it represents its Series Land Rover heritage. Creating the Defender of tomorrow, a dream for any engineer or designer, is the next exciting chapter and we are looking forward to taking on that challenge.”

In 1948, the Series I went into full production at Solihull. Postwar Britain was struggling with a shortage of steel, though aluminium was in plentiful supply for the bodyshells and the country had vast manufacturing capacity. Inspiration came from Spencer and Maurice Wilks, two brothers who had devised the Land Rover as a vehicle primarily for farming and agricultural use. They could not have predicted the global impact their vehicle would have.

Changes followed and in 1958 the Series II brought about a new design and engine updates, including an advanced diesel engine which remained in service until the mid-1980s. Sales had reached half a million by 1966, while annual production peaked in 1971 with 56 000 units.

During the 1970s, the Series III continued to sell as well as its predecessor, a testament to its enduring appeal.

The vehicle earned a new name in 1990 — Defender. By this time, the Land Rover portfolio included the Range Rover and the newly-launched Discovery.

The original Series I Land Rover cost £450 in 1948. It was powered by a four cylinder 1.6 litre engine with just 50 hp.

Since 1948, 2,016,933 Series Land Rovers and Defenders have been built on the production line at Solihull.

Amarok gets a bigger heart Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is taking things up a notch: the Amarok is getting a bigger ‘heart’ and highlighting its performance potential, thanks to the latest generation of Volkswagen V6 engines.

Drivers of the Amarok can look forward in future to the one litre of additional displacement offered by the 3.0-litre engine.

The Amarok boasts good on- and off-road capabilities. Its top-of-theline engine delivers 550 Nm of torque and has an output of 165 kW. The powerful top-of-the-line six-cylinder engine produces its maximum torque at only 1 500 rpm. At 550 Nm, this maximum torque is also 130 Nm higher than in the previous model.

The highest gears’ long gear ratio in the manual or 8-speed automatic gearbox reduces revs and fuel consumption during consistently fast driving, and in this manner helps ensure low noise levels and low CO² emissions. The combined NEDC fuel consumption of the new Amarok with 165 kW output and a 8-speed automatic gearbox will likely reach a combined diesel consumption of 7,6 litres/100.

The model’s engine is designed to be robust and long-lasting. The 3.0 l TDI engine in the new Amarok will be available in three output levels: 120 kW, 150 kW or a top-performing 165 kW. Three different drive-system versions will be offered in line with the respective engine variants: a traditional rear-wheel drive, and a 4MOTION version with either rear-wheel drive and an engageable front axle in combination with a manual gearbox, or with a permanent all-wheel drive system and a Torsen differential with the 8-speed automatic gearbox.

New Servotronic Steering

The Servotronic steering system is new in the Amarok and will be available as standard equipment in Europe. This system is one of the reasons why the Amarok can be driven very precisely. The Amarok will also have new 17-inch brake discs on the front axle of the 165-kW Amarok and 16-inch discs at the rear. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which has won multiple awards, is also included as standard.

The powerful impression the Amarok makes is underscored by a more athleticlooking front end and an all-new dashboard.

Together with new ergonomic seats, they lend the vehicle a more sophisticated and valuable appearance. With a length of 5,25 metres and a width of 2.23 metres (mirrors included), the Amarok delivers what one would expect from a classic pickup.

The the load platform in the four-door Amarok can accommodate a Euro-pallet loaded sideways. A payload capacity of more than one tonne is possible, depending on the equipment features selected. In future, some variants of the new Amarok will also boast a towing capacity of up to 3,5 tonnes.

Larger wheels

The wheels in the various equipment levels offered with the Amarok are now larger, which makes for an even more powerful and sporty appearance. The top model features 20-inch alloy wheels and the Park Distance Control parking assistant, which utilises a rear-view camera.

Bi-xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED licence plate lighting and LED-illuminated side sills under the doors add to the new Amarok’s overall appearance.

BMC Adventure Club tackles the great outdoors

Blue Mountain College outside Modjadjiskloof has an established adventure club that includes exciting activities like sailing, mountain biking, abseiling and hiking. To balance academic learning with physical and mental development, pupils are taken on these excursions to participate in something unique and exhilarating.

Mountain biking could be done anywhere — from a back yard to a gravel road. But not

so at BMC. With endless mountain roads in the most stunning surroundings, aweinspiring vistas and breathtaking views, mountain biking is taken to a different level.

On weekends you may find kids whizzing through forests paths, getting lots of fresh air, improving their fitness and health.

In the process the pupils can give vent to the inner explorer as they travel up and down scenic mountain passes and woodland trails.

Or you may see the intrepid abseiler gliding

down a rock face, glee mixed with fear etched on their face. The courageous sailor getting drenched may be spotted or some pupils simply hiking along the majestic mountains passes, being taught the wonders and intricacies of nature by their supervisors.

All this is done in one of South Africa’s most breathtaking and picturesque settings, to instill in pupils the value of enjoying the journey to the finish line and not merely focus on the drive to win at all costs.

The u.15 netball team of Stanford Lake College played their final league match against Southern Cross of Hoedspruit.

All their hopes laid in a victory as this would mean the girls would go through to the Limpopo Championships in August. The girls played a phenomenal game and won 34-4.

This win gave them the points needed to finish third in the league. This is the school’s first ever netball team to go through in the A league. In the photo are, back row : Thandi Ngobeni, Fefe Baloyi, Ms Sam Venter (coach), Ledile Kgopong, Rirhandzu Vermeulen, Lebo Rachidi and Mokgadi Mangena, and in front are Carvell Mathebula and Emma Melville.

Tzaneen se langasems vir Comrades geskrik! rik!

Die 25 marathon-atlete van Tzaneen se klub het voortreflik in vanjaar se Comrades-wedloop gevaar en een silwer medalje (6:57:09), drie Bill Rowan-medaljes (onder 9 uur), vyftien brons medaljes (minder as elf uur) en vyf Vic Clapham-medaljes (onder twaalf uur) huis toe gebring. Ongelukkig het een atleet die afsnytyd vir medaljes met ‘n skamele een minuut en sewentien sekondes gemis — maar klaar het hy die moordende wedloop wel klaar gemaak.

Ons silwer medaljewenner, Stephen Madiye, was die 224’e atleet wat oor die wenstreep genael het, wat ‘n verdere puik prestasie is; in ag genome die derduisende atlete wat die mara-

thon aangedurf het!

Lawarence Mahlatsi het wel die wedloop klaar gemaak, maar ongelukkig nie ‘n medalje gekry nie.

Eerste Comrades en klaar gemaak: Daleen Venter; Corne Fritz en Daniel Mabulana.

Thomas van der Meulen het saam met sy drie broers en pa klaar gemaak. Daar was selfs ‘n artikel oor hulle in die Comradestydskrif.

Bernard van den Dool, wat lid is van Ofcolaco Club, het vanjaar sy eerste Comrades voltooi. Dit was die 4de keer wat hy probeer het. ‘n Man wat nie maklik “nee” vir ‘n antwoord vat nie en nie tou

het g’n niks Puik prestasies opgooi nie!

Daar is ook ‘n “back to back”medalje, vir atlete wat hul eerste twee Comrades in twee agtereenvolgende jare met die eerste probeerslag voltooi.

Walt Katzke en Martie Rudder het dié prestasie behaal!

• Geluk aan al ons atlete!

The members of Stanford Lake College’s first netball team have shown mental toughness and surprised many an opponent with the run-up to the mid-year winter break. Seen here are, in the front

row: Katherine Gardiner (capt), Reese Bain and Lesedi Motumi. At the back are Normane Mnisi, Anke Vaughan, Kirsten Eastes, Jamela Maswanganyi, Shikara Janke and Funi Thovhakale.

Met geen noemenswaardige rakbie en geen belangstelling in wat op Roland Garros se kleitrappery aangaan nie, sit en kontempleer Oubal verlede Saterdag oor die groot sportnuus van die dag, en Oubal wonder hoeveel mans van sy geslag gebruik nog Brut-reukweerder.

Want skielik sit Oubal weer in die Capitol-teater daar neffens oom Paul se standbeeld op die plein om Kelly’s Heroes, of so-iets te kyk, en die enigste beeldmateriaal van advertensies wat ons daai tot kon sien kom op die skerm. En hier verskyn hierdie Amerikaanse neger (soos ons destyds gepraat het) en sê, “Hi there, I’m Mumammad Ali, I’m the greatest, and so is Brut. Pshtttt.”

‘Tja, en Oubal sit hier in sy beskeie huisie in Tzaneen half weemoedig oor een van die grootste sportmanne van sy era wat ons enkele ure vantevore gegroet het. Oubal onthou die debatte — of hy dit sou kon maak teen Sonny Liston, of Floyd Patterson en Cleveland Williams; oor hoe lojaal dit van hom was om te weier om Viëtnam toe te gaan; en hoekom hy ‘n moslem geword en die naam Cassius Clay prysgegee het.

En natuurlik ook oor hoekom hy so grootbekkig en arrogant was oor sy rymelary en voorspellings oor hoe lank ‘n boksgeveg sal duur. Maar Ali was nie net ‘n enigma nie, hy was ‘n kolos van die sportwêreld, nie net van boks nie. Die

Float like a Butterfly...

“Rumble in the Jungle”, die “Manilla Thrilla”, Olimpiese ligswaar-kampioen, 61 gevegte as professionele swaargewig, waarvan die eerste 31 onoorwonne, en in totaal net 5 verloor.

Met só ‘n rekord en die bykomstige plesiere wat hy verskaf het — sy grootpratery is meestal met dade opgevolg — kan Oubal vandag net sê, stil broers, daar het ‘n man verbygegaan. ‘The Greatest’ inderdaad, wat onder andere ook ‘n hele geslag jong mans geïnspireer het om Brut te gebruik!

Maar so van boks gepraat, was Oubal nou nie verlede week ontsteld om in hierdie koerant van ‘n geveg op die rakbieveld te lees nie. Een waarin ‘n 12-jarige deur ‘n ander 12-jarige katswink geslaan is. Oubal kan ook maar net vra, waar gaan die wêreld heen?

Laat ons egter nie onnodig vingers wys nie, maar ons self tot introspeksie roep — almal van ons. Hoekom sal ‘n 12-jarige in ‘n vuisgeveg op die rakbieveld betrokke raak?

Oubal hang genoeg ongemerk langs ons sportvelde rond,

van bulletjierakbie tot by die plaaslike klub, om te hoor wat daar gesê en geskree word.

“Móé(k)er hom, boetie!” — deur mammies van 6-jariges wat van baie beter behoort te weet. “Ref, maak oop jou f*kken oë!” “Skiet hom, moenie lat hy ly nie!” Om van skeldname vir spelers wat nie soos ons lyk nie, nie te praat nie. In sulke omstandighede is dit nie eintlik vir Oubal vreemd dat ‘n 12-jarige die kluts kwyt gaan raak nie.

Oubal verstaan volkome die ontsteltenis van die slagoffer se ouers, en hy stem saam dat die oortreder ‘n les geleer moet word. Waarmee Oubal egter nie kan saamstem nie, is die oproep dat die oortreder permanent uit alle sport verban moet word. Watter soort samelewing het ons geword, as ons geen hoop het dat jeugdige oortreders nie met berading en behoorlike ouerleiding verantwoordelike volwassenes kan word nie?

‘Tja, Muhammad Ali was ook twaalf jaar oud toe hy vir ‘n polisieman gesê het hy wil die persoon wat sy fiets gesteel het gaan “whup”. “Gaan leer eers hoe om te boks,” was die raad...

“I ain’t got no quarrel with them VietCong; no VietCong ever called me nigger.” – Muhammad Ali

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!
