Beduidende vordering word gemaak met die reddingspoging om Tzaneen se bekendste vleiland weer tot sy orde te bring, danksy die departement van waterwese en sanitasie se drastiese ingryping meer as ‘n jaar gelede. Die rivierloop wat parallel met die R71 aan die oostekant van die Lifestyle Centre verby vloei, was jare onder druk weens ekologies onaanvaarbare ontwikkelings, toeslikking en algemene verwaarlosing. Dit strek van Aquapark deur die hooftoegang tot die dorp tot in die Groot Letabarivier. Die spruit was sedert sy ontstaan ‘n vleiland, maar het deur ontwikkeling omsingel geraak en uitwissing was sy voorland. Die Bulletin het die afgelope drie jaar verskeie kere oor die verwoesting van die vleigebied berig, totdat regeringsamptenare ingegryp het om tot die redding te kom. ‘n Direktief is aan die aangrensende eienaars gerig om die vleiland dermate te herstel dat dit aan die toestande voldoen soos wat vir vleilande in SA neergelê is voor enige verdere ontwikkeling toegelaat sal word. Werkspanne en stootskrapers het sedertdien aan die gang gekom om die spruit te herstel. Dit word belys met draadgebinde kliplae, wat so ontwerp is dat die gang van vloedwater in die toekoms matig sal geskied en erosie voorkom. Die kontrakteur, mnr Flip van Rooyen, is gereeld op die terrein om toe te sien dat alles reg verloop. Sy seun, mnr Abri van Rooyen, is die ingenieur wat vir die ontwerp van die belyning verantwoordelik is. Mnr Frederick Pohl, ‘n regskenner en ekoloog van Modjadjiskloof, is deur Waterwese aangewys om toe te sien dat die herstel van die vleigebied reg verloop. Hy stel weekliks verslae oor die vordering op en doen maandeliks aan Waterwese verslag oor die vordering. Dit het ook aan die lig gekom dat groter sakebetrokkenheid in die gebied verwag kan word. Met die herstel van die spruit en die omgewing is daar sprake dat die motorhandel in Tzaneen in die toekoms hier kan laer trek. Sakelui beskou dit as ‘n trekpleister wat die hoofingang na Tzaneen nuwe krag kan gee. Daar is egter besorgdheid oor die verdere ontwikkeling van die Lifestyle Centre aan die oorkant van die R71. Die tweede fase van ontwikkeling is reeds drie jaar gelede beoog, maar nog niks het daarvan gekom nie. Die Bulletin het die eienaars, Resilient, hieroor genader en sal in die volgende uitgawe meer inligting oor die toekomstige ontwikkeling van die Lifestyle Centre verskaf. — Louis Roux louis@bulletin.us.com

Vlieg Vlieg was bekommerd dat hy dalk besig is om dom te word, of nog erger, dat al die tee wat hy drink besig is om die se tol te eis en al die geld wat hy destyds by die bank moes leen en in die sweet van sy aangesig moes terugbetaal om sy wit geprivilegeerde tyd op perversiteit deur te bring, finaal vermors is! Maar Vlieg is op stuk van sake nou nie ‘n taalkundige nie. Daarvan sal die meerderheid van gereelde Vlieglesers kan getuig. Taalkunde is ook nou nie die vakgebied wat Vlieg op voormelde perversiteit sou laat slaag het nie. Daarom dat hy maar moes terugkeer na sy steeds betroubare en getroue Verklarende Handwoordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal van ene Odendal (sic) en Gouws om te probeer sin maak van hoe ‘n kurrikulum gedekolonialiseer kan word. ko-lo-ni-a-li-seer’ ww. (gekolonialiseer) Koloniseer ko-lo-ni-seer’ ww. (gekoloniseer) ‘n Volksplanting vestig in; jou in ‘n Kolonie vestig; kolonialiseer: ‘n Nuwe Landstreek koloniseer ko-lo-nie’ s.nw. (-s) 1 Volksplanting in ‘n nuwe land waar ‘n gemeenskap gevorm word wat geheel of gedeeltelik afhanklik is van die moederland; nedersetting, oorsese besitting: ‘n Kolo-
Vlieg praat met die Volk en krap waar dit jeuk...
Dekolonialiseer
nie stig, vestig, bestuur. Vrygeworde kolonies. 2 Al die vreemdelinge van een volk in ‘n streek of stad: Die Afrikaanse kolonie in Amsterdam, London, New York. 3 Inrigting waarheen bedelaars, werkskuwe rondlopers, e.d. gestuur word om hulle o.m. deur plaasarbeid en sielkundige behandeling weer tot nuttige burgers te maak…
Dit was op hierdie punt van Vlieg se navorsing wat die lig skielik vir hom opgegaan het, hoewel ‘n lig aangaan, en hy amper soos die dominee van ouds, en van nuuts, kon sê…tot hiertoe…Skielik het Vlieg verstaan waaroor die dekolonisering gaan, en Vlieg is seker dat daar selfs ‘n paar
ander andersdenkende andersdenkendes is wat ook skielik oorbluf sal wees met hierdie eureka-oomblik! Vlieg verduidelik, ook soos ‘n skrifgeleerde wat die teksvers verder in sy preek moet uiteensit. ‘n Kolonie is “geheel of gedeeltelik afhanklik van die moederland”. Tensy sy natuurlik ‘n enkelouer is, is die donnerse goed geheel of gedeeltelik, meestal geheel, afhanklik van die vaderland! Soos die protesgangers tekere gaan is dit duidelik dat hulle lankal gedekoloniseer is in terme van maniere, gedrag en algemene common sense. Dan pas dit hulle natuurlik om gedekoloniseer te wees, maar wat as hulle honger word en koud kry, waar pas die moederland dan in? Is dit nie tyd dat die “bedelaars, werkskuwe rondlopers” gestuur word om “plaasarbeid en sielkundige behandeling” te kry om hulle weer tot “nuttige burgers te maak” nie? Vlieg is seker dat hulle juis bang is om nuttige burgers te word en verkies om eerder bedelaars en werkskuwe rondlopers te wees, g’n wonder hulle wil gedekolonialiseer word nie! As Vlieg hierdie klomp #feesmustfall-dissipels nou iets rondom ‘n kolon moet toegee, sal dit wees dat hulle hardlywig is! Luigatte!

Trained yoga teacher returns to Limpopo Ms Rose Überbacher (41) is tall and slim with a mop of curly black hair. She has the suppleness of a dancer but is a highly trained yoga teacher. Überbacher, who grew up and went to school in Polokwane, spent a number of years abroad. She attended the British school of Yoga in London and took a year to qualify. Most taxing was the oral examination, which took her a week. She says that it’s easier to do yoga than to talk. However, she did extremely well getting 94% for the exam. Her inspiration was Ms Barbara Curry’s yoga video. Curry was in her mid 60s when she released her yoga video. Überbacher then wrote to Mr Godfrey Devereaux in Ibiza who was trained by Iyenga. He teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa. Ashtanga means grounding postures and Vinyasa means flow between postures. It was an intense six weeks of training, three hours a day. Afterwards she was told, “You will make a brilliant teacher but you’ll run away to the mountains.”

Überbacher then lived at a college in the town of Ystrad Mynach in Wales and studied anatomy and physiology plus holistic therapy for a year. She says, “If you want to be registered to do yoga in the UK you have to have an understanding of your basic physical structure. Yoga is, after all, body science.” As a single mother with a young son, she felt that schooling in the UK was inadequate and returned to South Africa to enroll her son in a good Limpopo-based school. Überbacher was at the Haenertsburg Hall treating the public to her other disciplines of reiki, head massage and reflexology during the Spring Fair. She has the hands of a healer and through her hands she treated one customer whose body was a mass of bubbles and incredible pain. The almost hour long session brought immeasurable relief to the customer. Überbacher has started yoga classes in Tzaneen and Haen-

We don’t pay rent here The parking lot next to the now dilapidated Letaba Boulevard building in the heart of Tzaneen has become a cesspool. Residents and business owners have raised concerns over the state of the premises, the lack of sanitation at the site and the lingering stench of rotten meat. The problem stems from the food stalls and street sellers who operate at the site daily with no regard to health and safety legislation or the aesthetics of their immediate surroundings. Meat is prepared at the stalls over open fires and gas stoves and reports have surfaced of chickens being slaughtered on site and the carcases disposed of in the field behind the stalls. The hawkers wash their dishes, pots and cooking utensils here too. With no proper waste disposal system in place, the drains at the site have become clogged with fat, oil and other waste, which in turn has resulted in a stench
that has a negative impact on the businesses in that area. Two years ago the GTM was approached with the same concerns from the same business which prompted the council to seek a solution to the problem. Their solution was to erect
formal trading posts for the hawkers which would not only be easy on the eye as it replaced the makeshift sink and cloth shacks, but would also generate income to the municipality as the hawkers would pay rental for their trading space. “That idea didn’t last very long,” said one businessman from the area, “not a few months later, the hawkers took the very same cloth and sink sheets and erected new shacks right in front of the formal trading blocks. It’s like living next to a squatter camp! How many are legally allowed to be here? All I know for sure is that the unsightly mess and the rotting stench is seriously affecting my business.” Bulletin conducted a video interview with one of the traders who admitted that they don’t pay rent as they have been waiting for the GTM to give them an amount. She also explained that they pour their waste on the concrete slab behind their stall each day. In addition to this, the trader told Bulletin that they generate a significant daily income. “We charge R50 for a full plate and we serve between 10 and 15 customers daily. That number increases drastically at month-end.” A plate consists of pap, salad and a choice of beef or chicken pieces. The GTM said that they are all too aware of the problem at this site and that steps are being taken to rectify the matter. “We are in the processes of finalising the lease agreements for all the 14 hawkers onsite, as soon as we are done they will then start to pay,” said spokesperson Neville Ndlala. “We have also detected that they slaughter chickens onsite which is prohibited and they have been warned to stop or be issued with a spot fine.”
Concerning the general state of the site, Ndlala said that a meeting with the relevant internal stakeholders has been scheduled in order to address the matter. “We have also detected that the drainage system leaves a lot to be desired and that problem has been escalated to the relevant department to resolve.” Ndlala further stated that the municipality has a health inspector who regularly visits the site. Who the health inspector is, or how much rent the hawkers will pay, remains a mystery. Bulletin has forwarded another enquiry on the matter to Ndlala and we will report his response in our next issue.

Three day inferno under control It was a rollercoaster ride for the firefighters at Deerpark, just outside Tzaneen, this week as they fought relentlessly over the course of three days to contain a runaway fire. Reports of a small fire starting on a farm in that area reached the Letaba Fire Protection Association (LFPA) on Thursday morning when Merensky Timbers requested a spotter and a helicopter team to be sent to the plantation. The fire was brought under control quickly through the expertise of the highly skilled LFPA pilots who returned to base shortly thereafter. Later that morning however, the fire started up again and soon the hot temperatures, dry veld and windy conditions had fuelled the fire into a raging inferno which threatened to consume hectares of plantation in that area. A massive effort was launched by the LFPA in conjunction with Working on Fire, their partners and the private sector to bring the runaway fire under control. The attack included more than 200 fire fighters on the ground at the fire line, two helicopters and their spotter, and a number of what are called “bakkie sakkies”. Reinforcements from Polokwane, Soekmekaar and Sekororo were also brought in to assist. The scale of the operation was so vast that on a single day the helicopters consumed up to 7 000 litres of fuel as they fought the flames from the skies in winds that measured nearly 30 kilometres an hour. At the head of the operation stood Fire Manager, Rouan Snyman and IC Hannes Enslin, who in turn collaborated with the ground teams, the heli-tac teams and the control

The fire was eventually contained and the situation is being monitored carefully as reports are still coming in of smoke in parts of that area. The fire had destroyed more than 1 000 hectares of plantation land and stretched over three areas including Triangle, Greystone and Dovey. — Joe Dreyer

Speaking of change
Rev Ron Reiners Anglican Church
Change, it’s a good thing if you accept it for what it is – a chance to grow. My father once told me that the most important ability a person can develop is to remain teachable. He was right because let’s face it, we learn something new every day and today is definitely not the same as yesterday. Currently, a lot of different changes are taking place around the country with the students destroying educational institutions with no regard for their own future, our sports teams falling from grace and a general increase in the level of crime. What we do with that change is entirely up to us. So too is how we choose to react to change. There will always be bad news in the headlines, fires during fire season and bad people who taint society. Those aspects of life will only change gradually over a very long period of time. But, there is always good news too, and good people all around us. We just don’t pay as much attention to them as we do to the “bad”. The only thing we can change at a whim, is our perspective. There is the old adage that reads “we can be sad that roses have thorns or happy that thorns have roses.” There are always two sides to a story, always.
Greetings in the name of Christ:
About perspective The human mind is a wonderful thing, but it struggles with numbers. Specifically really, really big numbers like the size of the Milky Way, or the drop in the bucket that is humanity’s existence in relation to the age of the universe. So here’s a cool way to explain that in a manner understandable by all. If the average person’s outstretched arms were to indicate the size of the Milky Way, and you scraped your nail over an emery board (nail file)… you would have wiped out the entirety of man’s existence. How about dem apples?

Local Hero The LFPA and Partners This week we cannot single out a one person or organization as our local hero, because there were teams of people involved in this particular heroic act. Thank you to each and every one of the firefighters, pilots and coordinators who fought relentlessly against the Deerpark fire. Your efforts and continued vigilance keeps us safe and we salute you!
A brave Plan B for the redevelopment of the collapsed Sapekoe Tea Estate was envisaged by the department of agriculture, by earmarking it as the headquarters of the macadamia industry in South Africa. It was nothing more than a short sighted storm in a tea cup, as the estate’s future is still in the balance after twelve years. There was also a Plan C, which is now showing signs of hope for the vast Makgoba owned fertile land. Also on the front page was a photo of AgriLetaba’s Farmer of the Year, the late Mr Piet Minnaar of Gravelotte. Ons gaan vir die res van die jaar elke week ‘n voorblad wys. Dit gaan be-slis interessant wees om te sien wat twaalf jaar gelede die hoofnuus in die toonaangewende nuusblad van Limpopo se Laeveld was. Eweneens gaan dit interessant wees om te sien hoe die styl en adverteerders oor die jare verander het. Geniet dit gerus! Bulletin will show a front page of twelve years back for the rest of the year to recall memories on the main issues of yesteryear. Enjoy it!
“I am the way, the truth and the light” a well-known utterance of Christ. Now many may think that Jesus was only addressing His disciples or those who were listening to Him preaching at the time. It seems that in today’s modern world, with all the modern technology there is some doubt as to the validity of these words. We have the ability to build roads into the most impenetrable areas in the world, we can use a machine (lie-detector) to ascertain if a person is telling the truth and we can create artificial light to lighten our darkness. So what was Jesus really talking about? He was talking about our spiritual life and our life after we leave this world. If we believe that Jesus is our Saviour, then we need to follow Him and He will show us the way. However, we need to believe in Him and all He taught us while He was on earth, but even further we need to look at the lessons that were taught in the Old Testament. How the people had faith then and expected the coming of the Messiah. They had to believe in God in very difficult conditions, which in some way equate to what is happening in the world today. As we delve deeper into the scriptures we find that those who believed were saved from disaster. So our faith will have to be as strong as our forefathers and even stronger in some ways. It is often difficult for a new Christian to know where to start in the scripture, should they start with the Old Testament or the New Testament. A tip I was given was that one should start with the Gospels and then slowly work through the New Testament, leaving Revelations till the last, because it mainly contains visions of the future. A Christian is a follower of Christ so therefor it is of prime importance that we learn about Him and His life here on earth (the New Testament) we are endeavouring to build on our belief and need to find out how others reacted to being in the presence of Jesus. In reading through the Gospels we will also see why Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the light. The Old Testament can be seen as a history book as it records the formation of the earth and humans and also the struggles they had to face. Some see the Bible as all doom and gloom, but there is always a part that tells of the joy of believing. Blessings Ron

Theological course in evangelism An introductory course in evangelism will soon be presented in Tzaneen. The course will be presented by the local centre of Mukhanyo Distance. In the course students will learn what evangelism is, the central message of evangelism as well as the reason why Christians do evangelistic work. Time will also be spent to study the means and methods by which evangelism should be practised. Other interesting topics include person to person evangelism, the importance of follow-ups as well as the handling of stumbling blocks. All these topics are presented on a sound Biblical foundation. Mukhanyo is registered at all the relevant South African authorities for higher education. The college’s courses enable students to receive relevant, high quality, ho-
listic, affordable in-service distance training in theology. The study in evangelism forms part of Mukhanyo Distance’s Diploma course in Theology, but students are invited to enrol for this single module. Mukhanyo Distance invites everybody who is interested to attend the first lecture free of charge at 14:00 on Friday, 21 October 2016. The venue in Tzaneen is at the Reformed Church Laeveld, Claude Wheatley Street (opposite Hi-Q). The cost involved is R200 per module. A number of bursaries is also available which will enable students to study for R100 per module. This amount includes all study material. Students follow by DVD the same classes full time Mukhanyo students attend. Please contact dr Edmund de Beer (083 3911 065) for more information.

Building torched in apparent hate crime ed the site, a Samsung cellphone and a few coins were found n the ground at the spot where the fence had been cut. “The police at Ritavi police station opened a case of malicious damage to property instead of arson, and to date nothing is being done about it. When I ask, they tell me the man in charge was not available as he was attending a training course.” This tragedy follows shortly after a church and two shacks were burned down in the same area. “Although no one was hurt, I no longer feel safe here. On Wednesday the police came to question me regarding the rumour that I am going to burn Banyini Filling station which I know nothing about,” Raphala said. Raphala believes that there is more to this matter than meets the eye and according to him, his property was destroyed as a means to intimidate him. “This whole ordeal began in 1998 when the late Moses Mangena gave me this portion of land. Then from 2001 to date, I have been in and out of court with either the Greater Tzaneen Municipality, or Nkuna Royal Council, lodging eviction applications and the matter was dismissed with them having had to pay my legal cost.” he concluded. Ritavi police station spokesperson, Constable Mathebula, said she wasn’t at the office and therefore could not comment on the matter. — Phidelia Rikhotso
Suspected arsonists torched a recreational hall in Ventor Park village near Mhlava Cross and Lenyenye on Saturday. The vandals gained access by cutting through the property’s fence and used petrol to set the hall alight. According to the owner of the building, Matome Raphala, the incident occurred on Saturday at about 00:20. “I woke up to the smell of petrol. When I rushed outside I noticed the smoke bellowing out from my hall,” Raphala recalled. “I ran to investigate, but when I reached the hall the flames were already leaking through the roof. I tried to stop the fire but it was too late, so I retreated. I just stood helplessly watching everything the hall contained consumed by flames.” Raphala said that he alerted the police but there was nothing the authorities could do as the building had already been raised to the ground by that time. The following morning when the police investigat-

Marrying two art disciplines
Mr Brett Wayne Stanley exhibiting his art.
Mr Brett Wayne Stanley’s recent exhibition at the Magoebaskloof/ Haenertsburg Spring Fair was incredible. This Pretoria-based artist uses a combination of photography and digital painting technique. The combination of these two art disciplines makes Stanley only one of two artists in South Africa employing this method. His large work depicted here is of the bridge at Skukuza. The trains stopped running over this bridge in 1973. Stanley married two photos to depict
He usually works on canvasses measuring 2mx90. However, for all his works at the Fair, he used high quality fine art paper at R1, 000.00 a sheet. Stanley is also a tour guide.

Nasionale perdrykampioene Vyf ruiters van Hoërskool Merensky het die afgelope vakansie aan die Nasionale Perdrykampioenskappe deelgeneem. Die vyf het deel gevorm van die Limpopo hoërskolespan en het ‘n algehele vierde plek verower. Die kompetisie-formaat was die gewilde Western Mounted Games wat gesorg het vir groot opwinding op die dag. Genevieve van der Merwe en Anri Janse van Rensburg het albei opgeskuif na vlak 4 in die ope-afdeling, terwyl Wandri Janse van Rensburg op vlak twee geskitter het met ‘n eerste, twee
tweede plekke en ‘n vyfde plek. Hennerien Knox het ook op tweede vlak twee eerste plekke, ‘n vierde en vyfde plek ingepalm. Dawie van Jaarsveld en sy perd, Robyn, het baie goeie resultate op die dag gelewer en het algeheel vyfde geëindig, met ‘n eerste plek, ‘n tweede plek, vier vierde plekke en ‘n vyfde plek.

Willie Oosthuizen, ‘n Graad 8 perderuiter van Hoërskool Merensky, het in September aan ‘n perde-uithourit oor 80km op Munnik deelgeneem. Hy en sy perd, Kaptein het behoorlik hul staal getoon toe Willie eerste in die junior kategorie (Graad 8-12) gekom het. Wat hul prestasie nog meer besonder maak is dat Kaptein ook na afloop van die
Anya Beukes van Laerskool Duiwelskloof, het aan die begin van die maand aan die Sanesa Limpopo Nasionale Kampioenskappe by Misty Meadows in Gauteng deelgeneem en ‘n algeheel vierde plek verower.
Die oorlede voormalige redakteur het Oubal tydens ons deliberasies altyd daarvan beskuldig dat hy bewondering het vir Oubal se optimisme selfs in die donkerste tye. Oubal het hom altyd daaraan herinner dat Oubaas Jannie Smuts gesê het in SA gebeur die beste nooit nie, maar ook nooit die slegste nie. Oubal dink die waarheid lê waarskynlik iewers tussen-in. Vat nou maar die afgelope week waarin ons in sak en as gedompel is deur die grootste loesing wat ‘n Bokspan nog ooit op die lyf geloop het. In dieselfde week het ons Protea krieketspan nie net ‘n klinkklare eendagreeksoorwinning oor die Aussies behaal nie, maar die sout verder in die wonde gevryf deur verlede Sondag ‘n onaanvegbare 4-0 voortou in die reeks te neem. ‘Tja, Oubal is terdeë bewus daarvan dat die geboorte van ‘n kind nie vergoed vir die afstaan aan die dood van ‘n ander nie, veral nie as die afgestorwene jou blouoog gunsteling witbroodjie was nie. En hoewel Oubal al hier gesê het dat hy sy bedenkinge het oor die dobbelspel korter weergawes van krieket, kon hy nie help om schadenfreude te ervaar na die Aussies se vierde verloor in die Baai nie. Want nadat die Proteas verlede Woensdag die reeks beklink het met ‘n haas onmoontlike jaagtog na ‘n reuseteiken gestel deur die Aussies, het hulle grootbek ondersteuners wyd en syd verkondig dat dit vermag is teen hulle tweede, of selfs derde, beste boulaanval. Dat die Proteas die Baai-oorwinning behaal het deur self hulle beste boulaan-
kompetisie aangewys is as “the best of the best”, wat beteken dat sy kondisie in al die kategorieë die beste was. Willie ry al vandat hy 3 jaar oud is en is ‘n man wat perde ken. Hy neem op 11 en 12 Oktober deel aan die strawwe Waterberg uithourit, waar hy beoog om oor albei dae 80km per dag suksesvol af te lê. Plasieland hou duimvas!
Verneder!!! val te laat rus, was dus besonder soet, en Oubal vermoed, ietwat vernederend vir die Aussies. Nogtans kan geen pa vrede in sy hart hê oor daai ontneemde blouoog kind nie. Hoewel dit teen die tyd vir almal duidelik behoort te wees dat daar diepliggende sistemiese probleme in ons rakbie is, was Oubal nogal verbaas oor die reaksies van sommige leiers binne die Bok-opset. Reaksies wat ons nog meer bekommerd behoort te maak as wat ons reeds is. ‘Tja, na die wedstryd sê ons kaptein Adriaan Strauss dat hierdie ‘n jong Bokspan is wat vorentoe sal verbeter. Jonk? Regtig? Dit hang seker af van hoe ‘n mens “jonk” definieer, maar Oubal het arbitrêr besluit om dit op ouderdom 25-jaar te stel, en ‘n bietjie na die samestelling van Saterdag se Bokgroep gaan kyk. Miskien is ou Atters gekondisioneer om saam met 38-jarige slotte te speel, maar die ongemaklike waarheid is dat slegs drie Bokke jonger is as 25 – Pieter-Steph du Toit, Steven Kitshoff en Lood de Jager (almal 24). Ses van die groep is al
Anya Beukes
verby 30, met die res (14 van hulle) op ‘n ouderdom waarop ‘n mens sou verwag hulle die fynere kunsies van die spel al onder die knie moes gehad het. Jammer, Atters, maar daai kaait vlieg nie (soos Oubal se kleinkind sou sê). Neef Allister, aan die ander kant, reken weer dat dit die beste beskikbare groep is en dat daar nie spelers buite die groep is wat die span kan versterk nie. Verlede week het Oubal hier melding gemaak van die Bokke tydens die Piet Visagie-era van die laat 60’s, maar wat hy nagelaat het om te sê, is dat Visagie vir Eben Olivier en Mannetjies Roux aan sy buitekant gehad het, ‘n senterpaar wat die verdediging aan flarde kon sny en die bal vleuels toe kon stuur. Oubal weet nie of neef Allister tyd het om CB-rakbie te kyk nie, maar as hy het, sou hy twee weke gelede gesien het hoe Boland se onbesonge senters vir Damian de Allende na ‘n gek laat lyk het. Maar neef Allister dink dit nogtans van pas om die Ellendeling teen die AB’s te laat speel, saam met die deesdae ewe onbeholpe Juan de Jongh. ‘Tja, miskien moes neef Allister meer opgelet het toe SA A teen die Saxons gespeel het, dan sou hy dalk kennis geneem het van Francois Venter, en ook Sergeal Pietersen, Jason Jenkins en RG Snyman. Die name Lappies Labuschagne, Phillip van der Walt, Ox Nche, Rohan Janse van Rensburg en Jamba Ulengo mag dalk ook vêrlangs ‘n klokkie lui vir neef Allister. Maar niemand is so blind soos die wat nie wil sien nie... “Humiliation is poisonous. It’s one of the deepest pains of being human.” – Pierce Brosnan
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!
