Waste not, want not

Litres of water was spewed into Adshade Street on Monday as a private contractor damaged a pipe with a pick while digging a trench for a data cable.

Literally thousands of litres of drinking water was spewed into the air in Adshade Street on Monday afternoon. A water pipe had been damaged by a pick, swung by a member of a private contractor’s crew while digging a trench – or at least that is what one of the crew told Bulletin at the scene. We spoke to Neville Ndlala, the spokesperson for the GTM, who said that a municipal maintenance crew was actually near the site, ironically, repairing a burst pipe at a diﬀerent location and that a private contractor was digging a trench to lay data cables for internet service providers in the area.

We filmed the private crew as they were digging the trench. One worker was busy compacting the trench while others were filling it with soil. The video can be seen on our website at www.bulletin.us.com. Nevertheless, the pipe was damaged by a pick and left to spew thousands of litres of precious water into Adshade Street and the parking lot of Sugarhill Ok Minimarket across the road. The crew member who spoke to Bulletin at the site, said that he had reported the matter to a supervisor at the municipality an hour and a half earlier, but that nobody had come to turn off the water. This, in turn, led to traffic congestion and near-misses as motorists tried to

avoid having their vehicles sprayed by swerving into oncoming lanes. “We are digging this trench all the way to the Tzaneen dam,” he said. “One of the guys did not see the pipe and he accidentally damaged it with the pick. We can’t turn off the valve because we must wait for the supervisor.” Eventually we saw a municipal vehicle arrive down the street from the leakage. A man climbed out of the vehicle and walked casually over to a drain cover next to the road, opened it and turned off the water. He then climbed back into the car and drove off. There is a very complex formula by which one can calculate exactly how many

Photo: Joe Dreyer litres of water was wasted. The water leakage equation involves multiplications and divisions of pipe circumference, water pressure, hydraulic pressure and the size of the tear in the pipe wall. Because of our lack of facts regarding these essential components, we could not speculate or estimate an exact figure. Our intention was to ask the GTM spokesperson for an explanation, but given the track record of construed responses and vague clarifications from his office, we determined it would be better to have the community make up their own minds. - Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

tionships with other institutions such as the Department of Environmental Affairs, state veterinarians and the Department of Agriculture.” Further to that, the SPCA mandate is to conduct free inoculations against diseases and assist in the prosecution of those guilty of laying illegal snares. The work that this organisation performs goes largely unnoticed until they are needed. If they are no longer able to provide their essential services to the community, huge health and safety hazards could crop up as a result. “The GLM think we are a joke and they brush us off every time we approach the municipal manager for assistance. In February this year at the end of the financial year I personally handed written notices to the municipal manager, in her office, and she promised she would tend to my request urgently. I am not surprised that this has not happened, I am however, at the point of telling them to keep the stray animals in their offices in future as we simply cannot afford to rush out and help without them coming to the party.” In Tzaneen, where the Letaba SPCA has their Homebase, the picture looks a lighter shade of bleak. Here, they receive a monthly grant from the GTM totalling a laughable R8 500. With this amount it is expected that Potgieter and her crew of five should continue to cater for the 40 dogs and 60 cats currently in their care. They also need to pay the salaries of the kennel hands, the two inspectors and an admin clerk. That’s before they are expected to settle their monthly municipal electricity bill which averages around R6 000. “We have pleaded with both these municipalities to grant us immunity from levies property leases, but our cries fall on deaf

ears. Were it not for the help of Duiwelskloof Primary in Modjadjiskloof, Ben Vorster in Tzaneen and a number of businesses and individuals in this area, we would have been forced to close our doors a decade ago.” The plight of the Letaba SPCA follows on the back of the near-miss experienced by their Phalaborwa branch who narrowly escaped closure this week when the municipality finally stepped in and agreed to help (read that story on page 6). “When people adopt pets into their family, they very rarely grasp the scale of their commitment to that animal. A dog or a cat becomes part of your family when you take them into your home, not an ornamental decoration. When you go on holiday, you cannot leave the animal locked up at home. Would you even think of doing that to one of your children?” The SPCA offers the most affordable boarding for pets during holidays, in the entire region. In fact, it is a major source of income for the organization and sees pet owners from as far afield as Polokwane bring their pets for boarding when they travel away from home. “We are not asking for much more than what every other non-profit requests. We have no funding from the National Lottery Board anymore and we obviously are not being taken seriously by our municipalities. We only request that we come to some form arrangement which will be mutually beneficially to the public and the animals and ensure a healthy, safe society for everyone.” Bulletin has sent an enquiry to both municipalities’ communication department and will follow up on the matter in our next edition. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Murder and robbery suspect wanted The kingpin of a gang who has been terrorizing Tzaneen and Letsitele is the focus of a manhunt launched by the Provincial Tracking Team yesterday. The suspect, Sipho “Sphola” Dlangamandla (31) is wanted for the murder of Calvin Matome Machete (45) in Bolebedu in December last year. It is reported that Machete was cycling home from work when he was approached by five suspects who allegedly asked him for directions. While Machete was assisting them, one of the men shot and killed him. They took his licensed firearm and fled the scene. Earlier this year, the fire-

arm was recovered from the scene of a cash-in-transit heist in the Tzaneen area. The suspect is still at large and the community is requested to come forward with information which could lead to his arrest. The suspect is considered dangerous and should not be approached by the public. The local police should be informed if he is spotted. For any further information or to report any information, please contact Detective Sergeant Kubayi on 071-602-0268 or Capt. Boshomane on 079-894-5501. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

How safe is Magoebaskloof? Magoebaskloof was shaken this week with the news of two separate attacks on elderly folk living on smallholdings in that area. In the first attack, a long-time resident of the area, Oki (Robert) Turner (66) was brutally murdered and his wife, Debbie (66), beaten on their property along the Cheerio Road just off the R71. Initial reports stated that Oki had left the house on the evening of the 14th of June, in order to turn off a water pump. He was allegedly accosted and then attacked by two suspects who apparently could not speak Sepedi (a language Turner was fluent in). During the scuffle, Turner was stabbed in the leg. It is not clear how he and his two assailants landed inside his house, but it was allegedly in the kitchen where Turner was brutally beaten with blunt objects. He sustained multiple fractures on his arms, and legs as a result. His wife, Debbie, was viciously assaulted too, before the attackers made off with two handguns and some household items. The couple was later rushed to Mediclinic Tzaneen where Oki died from his injuries a few hours later. Debbie has since been released from hospital and is currently staying with friends in the area. Residents are left with unanswered questions as to the reasoning behind the attack as the Turners were described as placid folk with very little

in terms of earthly possessions that would entice a robbery. Oki Turner’s memorial service will be held on Tuesday, 27th June, at 11:00 at the Village Hall in Haenertsburg. In the second instance, Koos Hermann (67) was overpowered by three suspects inside his home. The incident occurred at around 08:00 on Tuesday morning, 20th of June, on the M19 smallholding off the Magoebaskloof pass. According to reports, Hermann was allegedly in the restroom when he heard voices inside his house. When he exited the bathroom to investigate, he noticed that his television set was standing on the lounge floor. The suspects overpowered him and tied him up using a cellphone charger cable and a belt they took from a robe. Hermann was not assaulted and the suspects fled with various household items as their loot. The two incidents in the space of just three days has caused concern among the residents of the Kloof and Haenertsburg who now fear for their safety. Earlier this year

Little Hannah started talking

The story of eight-year old Hannah Maritz from Phalaborwa has touched the hearts of residents in the area since her accident in May. This week, her family was elated when little Hannah spoke on camera for the first time. “Jesus healed me,” she said. Hannah spent the better part of May in an induced coma in the ICU at Sunshine private hospital in Benoni. This followed a horrific motorcar crash in Polokwane on the 6th of May which resulted in Hannah, her two brothers Matthew (14) and Jaden (12) and her parents, Coenie and Daphne Maritz, rushed to hospital for emergency medical attention. The family did not have medical aid and therefore relied heavily on the financial support of the community, their church group – Oneway Ministries - and aid from the Road Accident Fund. Since the day of the accident, Matthew, Jaden, Coenie and Daphne have all been discharged from hospital. The boys have completely healed and are spending time with their parents by Hannah’s side. The family post daily Facebook Live updates on Han-

nah’s recovery process. Two weeks ago doctors moved Hannah to the Clinix Rehabilitation centre where she is undergoing extensive treatment daily. Slowly but surely the little girl is regaining her motor-senses and has this week started eating solid food on her own, has started speaking and is completely cognisant of the people around her. “It was such an emotional moment when our daughter opened her eyes and spoke,” said dad, Coenie. “She was very unhappy when she realized that her hair had been cut whilst she was out, but she soon got over it,” he added with a smile. Daily video updates have been sent to friends and family and the Maritz’s have agreed for Bulletin to post those clips in due course. In the most recent video Hannah is seen taking assisted steps during physio therapy and having a conversation with her parents. When her dad asked her if she is healed she smiled and said, “yes, Jesus healed me, Jesus, Jesus did.”

It has been a long and emotionally draining period for this close-knit family and it is by no means the end of the journey. The family has since been receiving tremendous support from the Road Accident Fund and congregation members through a trust account that was setup, and have thanked all involved for their continued support. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Bulletin heads to FCJ Excellence Awards The Forum for Community Journalism (FCJ) Excellence Awards will be held in Centurion, tonight. The annual event honours community journalists and publications from all across South Africa for their relentless eﬀorts in exposing the corrupt, uplifting the noble and informing their communities. Representing hundreds of journalists from among the estimated 500 community newspapers across the country, the FCJ takes great pride in their duty to safeguard press freedom as the corner stone of any healthy democracy. Over the last 20 years, the FCJ’s mandate has been to provide training to its

members through initiatives such as their regional seminars which include training programmes such as the ‘No Guts, No Glory’ programme. The other big initiative is the FCJ’s prestigious Annual Local Media Excellence Awards. This event is regarded as the “Oscars” of the South African community press industry and until 2014 it was known as the Sanlam/MDDA Community Media Awards. Entries into categories include those from newspapers and maga-

zines aﬃliated to the larger corporates such as Media24 and Caxton. The categories include Newspaper of the Year, Journalist of the Year, Investigative Journalist of the Year, Hard News Journalist, Photographer of the Year, Sports Photographer of the Year and other awards related to the various professions within the media framework. Bulletin has been added to the Top 3 shortlisted candidates in the running for the Newspaper and Front page of the year. Editor, Joe Dreyer, features on the Top 10 short-

list for the journalism and photography categories and will be travelling to the awards tonight to represent the Tzaneen-based independent newspaper. Other notable nominees include Middleburg Observer, Laevelder, Witbank News, Vaalweekblad, Zoutpansberger, Potchefstroom Herald, George Herald, Tygerburger, District Mail, Paarl Post and Roodepoort Record to name a few. The winners in each of the categories will be announced at the gala evening tonight. Bulletin will post live updates over social media during the course of the evening to keep our readers the loop.

Baie geluk Dr. Theo de Jager met sy verkiesing as President van die Wêreld Landbou Organisasie. Agri Letaba is trots om Dr. Theo as lid te hê.

A close call for Phala-SPCA An article that appeared in a local newspaper late last week, sounded the sad news that Phalaborwa SPCA would close its doors on Friday 16th June due to lack of funds. The last funding received from the Ba-Phalaborwa municipality was in 2007. Besides no financial help from the municipality, there is no longer financial aid coming from the mining houses PMC (Palabora Mining Company) and Foskor due to the economic downturn. The dire report, however, has had a positive effect. Chairperson, Andie Condogiannis, said that the upshot of the exposure was that the Mayor and Municipal Manager requested an urgent meeting with her. They stated that the SPCA couldn’t close as it offered a valuable service to the town and the surrounding rural areas. The SPCA needs R60 000 a month to cover basics. Of that amount R30 000 is needed to cover the salaries of the five staffers. Then on Monday, 19th June, Andie received a phone call from the Councillor for Ward 11, Sybrand de

Beer. He said that he was in a meeting with the municipal manager and that the Greater Phalaborwa municipality had agreed to at least cover the salaries on a monthly basis until an agreement can be reached. Andie said their biggest work is in the rural areas where the SPCA collects unwanted animals and strays. Phalaborwa SPCA covers a vast area that goes all the way to Gravelotte. At the SPCA itself, some kennels are broken and need ﬁxing and there is much maintenance to be done. The kennels are full at the moment and having broken kennels is of concern. Individuals and businesses have come forward with either monetary donations or food donations and cleaning materials. Andie added that Phalaborwa SPCA gratefully accepts any donations and emphasized that the need in the area is a constant one, but that she was grateful that there was some light at the end of this tunnel.

Rev Ron Reiners Anglican Church “Boxes, little boxes, all made out of tickky takkie, and they all look the same” this can refer to the RDP houses for if we look at them they all seem to have been built to a specific design. But, what about our personal life? Do we also not intend to put things into boxes? Perhaps, we have a box for our loved ones, one for our friends and one for our acquaintances. Now these boxes may be large or small, we have a small family or loved ones so they go into a small box and this can sometimes be sealed, not allowing anyone else in. Our friendship circle can be wider and thus this box sometimes does not get sealed as there is room for some more. Our acquaintance circle can be either large or small so the size of this box can vary, this is possibly the least important box to us. Now what happens if something goes wrong? A loved one does something wrong and you no longer want them in your “loved box”, do they now get placed into your “friendship box” or perhaps the deed they did was so bad that you place them in your “acquaintance box”? It is human nature to sort people into various categories, but, into which box do we place our Heavenly Father? Have we, too, a box for Him? Now boxes have limitations they are either open or closed. How does your box in which you have placed God look like, is it opened or closed? Or do you just open it when you need something of Him? Jesus clearly gave us instructions to “love one another” even our worst enemies. How do we apply this in our mixed up world, where people do not care what they do? How much hurt can one endure? Jesus was betrayed yet, in His mercy, He forgave all. He even forgave the criminal on the cross. So why is it so difficult for us to forgive others? Are we wired differently from Christ? Did He not create us in His own image? Sin is what keeps us apart from God and others. We need to repent and ask forgiveness not only from God, but from others as well. What if we ask forgiveness from others and yet do not receive forgiveness, as what we have done seems so bad that they cannot forgive us? We need to pray for them and ourselves and continue to pray until we find an answer to what we can do to reconnect with those we care for. I have said it many times before that prayer is a very powerful tool in forgiveness. Extend your hand to all and do not keep people in boxes. Amen.

An unforgettably awry plan One couple will forever remember Sunday the 4th June 2017. It was the day that Bernard van den Dool from Tzaneen ran the Comrades Marathon. Bernard had trained daily on the up hills and down hills on the Agatha road to prepare himself for the arduous hills on the Comrades stretch. However, for months Bernard had been secretly planning to propose to long-time girlfriend Tracey Leppan. He wanted to go down on his knees at the finishing line and had organised this special event with the Comrades Marathon committee. Tracey was by his side, following him throughout the Comrades. He was making good time and was 20 minutes ahead of his planned arrival time. Tracey caught up with him at Cato Ridge and gave him vital energy food. She got to the finishing line at the stadium in Pietermaritzburg in good time. However Bernard ran into trouble. As he got to Polly Shortts Bernard’s legs started to buckle. With 800 meters to go, he kicked his legs forward. Tracey egged him on together with the crowd at the finishing line. Then disaster struck 30 meters from the finishing line. The gun went off, Bernard was 13 sec-

onds away from finishing, and he just collapsed. Tracey and Bernard had arranged to meet in the physiotherapy tent. She headed there in a panic and waited perhaps half an hour, not knowing what had happened or where he was. Then her phone rang and it was a doctor named Stephen. The doctor told her to head for the medical tent. Bernard was lying down, on a drip, with blankets piled on his body as his legs cramped. A short while later Stephen walked Bernard out wearing a space blanket that Tracey describes as looking and sounding like a giant Lay’s chip packet. Bernard stood in front of Tracey with a fence separating them. He was devastated that he hadn’t crossed the finishing line and he was even more devastated that his planned proposal didn’t happen. Tracey hugged her be-Layed-boyfriend. Through tears he asked her to marry him. Tracey gasped, gathered herself quickly and said “yes” with alacrity. The happy couple is still pouring over designs for the engagement ring as they want something special. Separately this couple has made a positive difference to the Letaba SPCA and

Haenertsburg Rotary and together this powerhouse couple will achieve even greater things for both the Tzaneen and Haenertsburg communities.

A rollicking time was had by all

The HOG banner at the Magoebaskloof Hotel.

Some 60 members from the Clearwater Chapter of The Harley Owners Group came to the Haenertsburg area for the weekend to simply have fun. They do amazing work for the good of the Haenertsburg area and came purring in to the village. They had pizzas at the Pot & Plow and prego rolls at the Iron Crown Pub & Bistro. They let their hair down at a Mardi Gras themed dinner at the Magoebaskloof Hotel on Friday evening. For the occasion they got DJ Craig, formerly from Tzaneen, to leave his beach house on the South Coast of Natal to come and DJ for them.

The Mardi Gras theme brought out costumes that were beautiful in colour and design with intricate masks. The dinner was to die-for with mussels, exotic salads and slivers of the ﬁnest cuts of meat. Executive Chef, Bernie Barwise, was particularly proud of his decadent cheese cake. The HOGs danced the night away to the beat of DJ Craig’s soothing words and music and reiterated that they will be back with their purring Harleys.

The induction ceremony of Paddy Ansell as President of Rotary Club Haenertsburg included a scrumptious lunch at the Village Hall on Saturday. The preservation of planet Earth in its diversity is this year’s motto. In keeping with this theme each table was labelled with something unique from the area – Grasslands, the Long Tom, the Iron Crown, Serala, Ebenezer and Woodbush. Both the District Governor, Grant Daly, and outgoing Haenertsburg President, Stuart Miller, outlined the positive diﬀerence Rotary has made locally and internationally. Grant outlined the Rotary international conference that he’d attended. Huge sums of money were allocated for the well-being of Africa by ﬁrst world countries with the German government earmarking €6-billion. Stuart outlined the work that had been done in the past year. The Harley Owners Group donated R10, 000.00 to the Thusanang Centre. Fire extinguishers were installed at the Garden Cottages in Haenertsburg. Haenertsburg Primary School received a 2,500 litre water tank. The broken window panes at Appel School were re-

placed with 72 panes of glass. Glenshiel School is to be provided with proper lighting and other facilities. Work is still in progress to establish the Long Tom Gun site which commands an unparalleled panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Stuart proudly announced that this year’s Ebenezer Mile was the most successful and profitable Mile to date. Rotarian Ellwyn Kent, who has relocated to George in the Western Cape, received thanks for his contribution whilst at Rotary. Stuart handed out awards and certificates for excellent service. Cilla Wildgoose received an award for her cartographic work. She is mapping out the five sectors within the greater Haenertsburg area. This involves exact mapping of every dwelling on every farm. These maps will ultimately help the police, fire brigade, other essential services and community members to find dwellings where occupants are in need. The maps are still not complete as not all sectors are complying with the necessary information. It is in the interests of everyone’s safety that all comply with the request.

Stuart Miller awards Cilla Wildgoose for her meticulous cartographic work of the area.

Rotarian of the Year award went to Bernard van den Dool who single-handedly arranged and organised a massive book distribution in Limpopo. Colleen Venter, owner of The Red Plate restaurant, was awarded for her excellent culinary service. The fun Hillbilly award went to Amy Taylor who was also MC for the day. New members, Laurie Railton and Jeneane Hayter (absent) were welcomed into Rotary with a certiﬁcate of membership as well as new badges. Lastly but of vital importance Paddy Ansell was inducted as President of Haenertsburg Rotary. Although the oldest president ever appointed at the age of 73, she looks half her age and is regarded as a no-nonsense go-getter that will stand her in good stead. Paddy was born in Johannesburg and moved to KwaZulu-Natal where she farmed with cattle and sheep. She’s always had family in the Haenertsburg area and decided to settle just outside the village 7½ years ago. The afternoon ended with Paddy introducing her Board members to the Rotarians and honoured guests.

The new Haenertsburg Rotary Board are from left: Ann Luther (Secretary), Amy Taylor (IT), Deneys Barry (Projects), Peter Stuart-Thompson (Foundation), Charl Naudé (President Elect) and Paddy Ansell (President). Absent was Maria da Silva (Treasurer).

God’s Haven has, through the assistance of various local businesses and organizations, managed to increase the security around their property. The management board of God’s Haven wishes to extend their sincerest gratitude towards the Tzaneen Free Masonry lodge who were instrumental in facilitating a pro-bono safety upgrade at their electrical installation through the expertise of contractor Van Wyk & Prinsloo Electrical. A further word of thanks is extended to Ruan Vorster Attorneys

and Tzaneen Phoenix Cricket Club for a very generous donation of a portion of the electrical fencing around the premises. The Centre recently had a few incidents of illegal entries through their back-yard which required a “barbed-wire intervention” to prevent further such incidents and unwanted guests. “We salute you for this noble action towards our elderly, as the beneﬁciaries, in ensuring a safe electrical-installation,” said Henk Minnie, secretary of God’s Haven.

Perfectly paired Panarotti’s Tzaneen, one of the community’s most loved family restaurants gave away three fantastic Father’s Day hampers to lucky dads on Sunday. This follows a week-long photo competition hosted over the Bulletin’s social media platform wherein entrants were required to submit a “selﬁe” featuring dad as the centre of attention. A total of 30 entries

The Delsouiller gang smiling bright as the receive their hamper from Panarotti’s Tzaneen on Sunday.

Plasie-skrywer bly besig Hoërskool Merensky spog weer met Mari Weber, kultuurbestuurder en hoof van die Musiek-, Dans-, Dramaen Kunsskool, wie al vanaf 2006 deel is van die Plasie kultuurspan. Behalwe die skryf van verhoogtekste, toesprake en berigte, waag Weber ook haar hand van tyd tot tyd aan meer spesiﬁeke skryfkuns. In 2011 redigeer sy ‘n publikasie van

Marissa Greeﬀ, Bome van plek tot plek – Nasionale Krugerwildtuin en was sy ook verantwoordelik vir die lusmaker op die skutblad. Die tweede uitgawe van hierdie boek is in 2017 deur Briza-publikasies uitgegee. In 2013 verskyn een van haar monoloë in die Piekfyn Afrikaans handboek vir Graad 8’s. Die boek, Reisverhale onder redaksie van Marissa Greeﬀ, het vroeër hierdie jaar verskyn. Hierin word twee van Weber se kortverhale gepubliseer: Toneeltoere is nie vir sissies nie en Toe staan ons op die R71. In haar woorde: “Om te skryf is amper soos leer vir eksamen. Daar’s altyd iets lekkerder of belangriker wat voorkeur kry. Dis werklik ‘n kwessie van sitvlak op die stoel, vingers op die toetsbord en doen dit net! Daarna kom die tydsame “hare uitkam”, oor en oor lees en verander en weer probeer. Of mens ooit tevrede is met jou produk? Wel, dit bly ‘n goeie vraag…” Plasieland weet dat Weber se kreatiewe vlam nog lank nie uitgeblus is nie en sien uit na toekomstige pennevrug.

There can be only one though – as the saying goes – and when all had been tallied it was Donovan Lewis and his family with 116 votes, who walked away with the ﬁrst prize hamper to the value of R800 from Panarotti’s.

Second place went to the smiling Delsouiller gang with 109 votes and third place was snatched up by the Wilson-clan with 96 votes total. “Congratulations to all the winners and a very big word of thanks to the Tzaneen community for the marvellous support during this initiative,” said Panarotti’s Tzaneen shop manager, Stefanie van Dyk. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Angus conquers the IMPI

Merensky High School’s fearless Angus Dalrymple-Hay (grade 11) took part in the 4th annual IMPI Hard Enduro oﬀ-road bike race from 15 to 17 June. This event was hosted at the Tugela Ferry Raceway in the heart of KZN. With 608 riders, this is the biggest and toughest hard enduro battle in South Africa. After a grueling 200km over the 3 days, battling rough terrain and mechanical issues on day 2, Angus managed to make up over 100 positions on day 3 to ﬁnish 127th in the Silver Class. Tired but, by no means broken, he returned to Tzaneen having conquered the IMPI Hard Enduro.

Ironman: it’s a head-game A 23-year old second grade teacher from Tzaneen Primary this week completed the gruelling Ironman Triathlon in Durban. But, Andri Prinsloo reckons it’s a test of mental reserve rather than pure stamina and physical prowess. If you have never heard of the Ironman, the intro description “Swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles- BRAG FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE” on their website, should give you an idea of what an accomplishment completing it, really is to any athlete. In 1978, U.S. Naval Commander John Collins and his wife, Judy, issued a challenge. They proposed combining Oahu’s 2.4 mile swim race, 112 mile bike race, and 26.2 mile marathon into one event. On the 18th of February 1978, ﬁfteen competitors, including Collins, travelled to Waikiki to take on the ﬁrst-ever Ironman challenge. The race has grown, and continues to grow each year with more and more competitors from all across the globe showing interest in accepting Collins’ challenge. For Prinsloo, it was something that she had always wanted to complete and during the latter part of 2016, the young teacher started a rigorous training regime. “I have always been a very good athlete and swimmer at school and even after that. I am used to the training and the

Responsibilities will include the following:

discipline and have in the past competed in a few biathlons, but the Ironman eluded me,” she said. “This year I decided that I was ready and I went for it.” Her training in preparation for the challenge included an 8 kilometre morning, run up and down Agatha, three times a week, 2.5 kilometre swimming sessions twice a week and strength training daily. On Saturdays she would complete a 70 kilometre cycle followed by another 6 to 10 kilometre “brick run”. Sundays she would repeat that regime. “You have to condition your body to handle the stress you are going to go through while at the same time giving your mind a chance to wrap itself around what’s happening. If your mind fails you, your body follows and you may as well quit.” The Durban event started oﬀ with a 1.9 kilometre swim in the ocean before transitioning to a bicycle to complete a 90 kilometre cycle. When you’ve successfully done that, you put on your running shoes and power through a half-marathon (21.1kilometres) to the ﬁnish line. And then you rest. For a week. Adri completed the triathlon in six hours and twenty minutes to claim a 22nd position in her age category which comprised a group of 58 competitors. She said she will do it again, but after she completes the 5i50 (half-Ironman) in August this year in Bela-Bela. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Dust, dirt and dancing The popular annual Georges Valley Association (GVA) Jamboree, took place this past weekend. The event was well attended and as is customary, a resounding success. Vehicles from as far as the Eastern Cape and Gauteng participated on the day and was crowned with the evening’s entertainment provided by the ever-entertaining Michael Fergusson band. The GVA would like to thank all their sponsors, participants and the Greater Tzaneen community for their support. All the funds raised will be used to upgrade the security in the Georges Valley area and insure the safety of the many

families who live along this picturesque route. “A special word of thanks to our main sponsors, PPS, ClemenGold / Zandvliet Wine Estate, Pienaar Bros/Rugged Wear and Naude Brokers. A huge thank you to all our other sponsors too, including Trophy Motors, Discovery, Bell Tzaneen, Land Rover Polokwane, Lannie Motors, Red Sun, Selati Dakkappe, BB Motors Group, SAB Tzaneen, Diggers Rest, Hydes Irrigation, Fast Tool Polokwane, Paint Pot Group, Talisman/Battery Centre, Tzaneen 4x4 Shop, Star Spares, Boulevard Cycles, Supa Quick Tzaneen, Large Security and E-Con. A special thank you to all The Friends of the Valley that supported GVA during the day.” The first place in Category 2: LWB (Long Wheel Base) went to Stephen Bisschoff in his Toyota Hilux with Wayne Dames in his VW Amarok in close second. Third spot on the podium was occupied by Patrick Bremner in his Toyota FJ Cruiser. Jaco Beukes took first place in his Mitsubishi Pajero with Suzaane Leeson hot on his heels in second in her Jeep Wrangler in the Category 2: SWB. Category 3: LWB was dominated by Jacques Prinsloo who ploughed through the valley in his Toyota Land Cruiser. Second spot was occupied by Rudolf Botes in a Hilux. The Modified category was won by Koos Jansen while Jaco Prinsloo took the top spot in Category 1: SWB with his Jeep Wrangler. The Long Wheel Base Category 1 saw Euegen Fourie power his Land Rover over the line in first place. It was a fantastic day out in the valley and an event that will most certainly feature on top of the 2018 outdoor calendar. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Angelina’s raise the District Cup

The Magniﬁscent Seven who formed the winning combo for the Polokwane-based, Angelina’s Tavern. They secured a place in the National ﬁnals to be held in Johannesburg next month. Jan Ndlovu, Mischack Magai, Nare Moja, Thabo Setiatjile (Captain), Gideon Teffo, Tihakishi Macheru and Lawrence Marume.

Over the past few months, 136 tavern teams have been repping their kasis in the District League of the 2017 Smirnoﬀ Raga Bolo Championship in the hopes of taking home the title of Raga Bolo champions and the grand prize of R150,000.

This past weekend saw the top six teams of the Inland North Region battle it out at Mamoroka Eating House in Nobody, for a spot in the Nationals to be hosted in Johannesburg in July. It was a tough few rounds of ﬁve-a-side street soccer which saw some exceptional game play and fan-

tastic footy-skills. The players all played their hearts out until it all boiled down to the ﬁnal between the top of the log Angelina’s Tavern and surprise entrants, 264 Zone Palace. Angelina’s were always the favourites as they featured some key players from last year’s winners, Mum’s Tavern in their ranks. The 264 team was comprised of youngsters who, while lacking the experience of their older rivals, boasted endurance and an unbreakable will to win. When the dust had ﬁnally settled on the obstacle-ridden court, it was the Angelina’s

who appeared victorious after netting five impressive goals in answer to the youngsters who managed only two. Lawrence Maruma, the Angelina striker, was named Goal Scorer of the tournament and joined his team mates on the stage for their victory dance with their medals and Raga Bolo 2017 District Trophy. Both teams qualified to join the rest Mzanzi in Jozi in July where they will fight it out for the ultimate prize of R150 000 and the National Victor Crown. — Joe Dreyer joe@bulletin.us.com

Top-D action at ﬁnals The u/15 girls from Ben Vorster and Stanford Lake College on the pitch united after their Limpopo Championship ﬁnal encounter. Chay Pott

Stanford Lake’s Honey Badgers locked horns with the mighty Red Machine last week during the finals of the Limpopo Hockey Championships. The tournament was hosted in Polokwane and saw the two u/15 girls teams make their way through the preliminary rounds to meet face-toface on the astro in the contest of champions. For Ben Vorster, it would be the second consecutive year that this team made it to the final playoffs at the provincial champs. In the run-up to their clash with the Badgers, Ben Vorster met Piet Potgieter in the semi-finals. The Vossies reckoned with the reigning u/14 Noordvaal Tournament winners and sent them home with a 3-0 defeat. From the centre pass at the start of the game, it was evident that both teams were going hard for the win and spectators were treated to some top class action from both sides. Through a very well orchestrated attack down the midfield, Lumé Vorster was handed the ball and netted the opening goal for the mighty Reds within the first five minutes of the first half. Moments before halftime the Vossies repeated the perfor-

Tshedza Moila

mance giving striker, Rivoningo Mangalana, the gap to place another at the back of the net. The second half remained a slightly one-sided affair with Ben Vorster scoring three more goals off the sticks of Mangalana, Lane Prinsloo and Lihani Vorster. The Badgers fought valiantly and launched a final counter to score a consolation goal. The match ended 5-1 in favour of the Reds who were consequently crowned as the Limpopo Champions. In other games on the day, Ben Vorster’s Second team ended their season as Limpopo runner’s up after a 3-2 win against Frikkie Meyer while their First team settled for third place with a 1-2 loss against Frikkie Meyer and a 2-1 win against Hans Strijdom. The u/14 team finished in fourth position after they lost their match against Piet Potgieter with a score of 0-3 and against Merensky with a score of 1-3. The u/16’s also took fourth place in the province after their tournament defeat of 1-2 against Ben Viljoen. Ben Vortser’s First team and their u/15’s will now travel to Krugersdorp in August to test their mettle against the schools of the Noordvaal Tournament.
