crash. A few minutes later there was nothing left but a smouldering husk.

Though it still uncertain what caused the fire, witness said that when they arrived on scene, a small fire was burning next to the building. While at the scene, Bulletin spoke to a very distraught Mayuri Kesa, the owner of Beads Bizarre who was watching in horror as her entire livelihood went up in smoke.

“I’ve had better days, this is an absolute disaster, everything is gone, everything, just like that.” The disaster struck only days after the launch of their online shop.

Kesa was renting retail space from the Limpopo Tourism Association who owned the building. In the past, this building made headlines because of alleged irregularities with the construction of the thatched roof.

More information will be published as it is released. Investigations are still continuing.

The Tourist Information Centre building in Tzaneen was guttered by a fire which started just after midnight on the morning of Tuesday, 17 October. Bulletin editor, Joe Dreyer, was awoken by a phone call at 00:08. The voice on the other side of the line said “wake up, the sky is burning!”

An Ampath technician, returning home from shift, drove past the Tourist Information centre and noticed the flames. He alerted the fire brigade.

Bulletin arrived on scene at 00:20, at the same time as the local fire department. The flames had already engulfed the main thatched roof building right opposite the Spur restaurant. Street sleepers scattered from the shadows as fire fighters and security officers ascended onto the premises.

Local security companies, Northern Security, Breedt Security and Letaba Alarms were on scene with members of the Tzaneen SAPS. Three Mopani District Fire Department vehicles surrounded the building.

By 01:00 the roof of the structure collapsed with a deafening

Sistas of Metal playing at ‘Rock No Rio’

Sistas of Metal with Tamla McMahon (22) from Haenertsburg, played for 45 minutes to a crowd of over 24, 000 at the fifth Angolan annual open air festival ‘Rock No Rio’ in Catumbela recently. Tamla developed her love for music in her mother Julie’s womb.

Her father, Mark, a heavy metallist as well as old school fan, would play music daily during Julie’s pregnancy. Tamla started to play guitar at the age of ten and, whilst still at Stanford Lake College, started a band and developed her style of music in the heavy metal genre.

Sistas of Metal was formed three years ago.

It consists of women all in their early 20s.

They all have their own bands so formed a super group. The other members of Sistas of Metal are Robyn Ferguson plus sisters Callysta and Roushan van Niekerk. Robyn’s band, ‘Adorned in Ash’, is a Christian metal band commonly known as White Metal. Robyn was born in Cape Town but has lived most of her young life in Pretoria. Callysta and Roushan are from Johannesburg and in a band called ‘Posthumous.’

Unfortunately with a death of female drummers Sistas of Metal had to choose a male drummer, Alex Temperly, originally from Zimbabwe and now lives in Johannesburg.

Tamla plays rhythm guitar, Callysta lead guitar, Roushan is on base and the small and petite Robyn is the singer. Tamla says, “Robyn sounds like she’s possessed when she growls and one can’t believe the powerful voice coming out of such a tiny individual.

She also does ‘clear’ vocals.”

The festival in Angola meant Tamla got her first taste of flying. The band flew the three hours from ORTIA to Luanda on SAA. They then flew 45 minutes on a charter plane to Catumbela in Benguela Province. The Catumbela River flows into the sea and Catumbela has a beautiful white beach. The band was put up in the five-star Hotel Riomar and in Luanda they stayed at the three-star Hotel Pyrimide.

The two-day ‘Rock No Rio’ festival featured 20 bands with many Latino bands and talented drummers with bongos. The well-known band ‘Rish’ from Kenya performed on the first night. The atmosphere was electric with everyone in the audience dancing.

Tamla loved her brief time in Angola. People were so friendly and the food was

particularly delicious. She enjoyed the fish called bakalya, akin to cod fish, and a Portuguese soup called chinchada made with olives and lots of wine.

Recently a friend from Pretoria presented here with a beautiful sounding Epiphone SG guitar worth at least R15, 000.00. She says, “It’s a gentle instrument compared with my other five guitars.” Besides practicing her music for a minimum of an hour a day, Tamla is also in her final year of horticulture at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria and is doing her practical at Martin Dale nursery outside Tzaneen.

BPM sends employees to Cape Town Phalaborwa residents are fuming over allegations that they fit the bill for a recent municipal trip to Cape Town. During the annual Secretaries Day celebrations held on the 26th of April this year, the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality sent eight of their secretaries to a conference in Cape Town.

The group were flown to Cape Town (return) where they spent four days at the President Hotel to attend a one day conference.

A source told Bulletin that the eight employees were secretaries which were sent to the conference allegedly as part of a training initiative by the municipality. The conference was however only a half-day event. “Not all the delegates attended the conference and instead opted for a day of relaxing and shop-

ping,” the source alleged.

It is also said that each employee received a cellular phone to use during their stay and were treated to wine tasting excursions and other sightseeing outings.

The President Hotel offers four star accommodation which starts at R2 613 per room per night. Flights to Cape Town from Phalaborwa via Johannesburg range from between R4 500 to R8 000 depending on the class preference and airline. The cost for the seminar was allegedly R10 700 per attendee.

Which brings the rough estimated cost to around R208 000 excluding the meals, cellular phones, excursions and spending money (which we could not add to the value as we do not have any information to scrutinize).

We spoke to Jonas Mahesu, communications manager for the BPM, and asked him to justify the expenditure. Considering that we are still waiting for his official response to two emails sent to his office a month ago, we decided to contact him telephonically. He requested that we send him an email enquiry, which we did.

Mahesu called shortly after receiving the email and lashed out at Bulletin. “Your newspaper is in Tzaneen, why don’t you focus on Tzaneen? The way that you ask questions makes me suspicious that someone has sent you here to ask these things. If you have ulterior motives I will have an issue to respond,” he said angrily. “We get given grants for the purpose of fascilitating training course in order to improve the service we offer our

community. The secretaries were sent for training in Cape Town because that is where the service provider is situated. If our service providers are situated in Durban or in Cape Town, that is where the people need to go.”

We asked him why the BPM did not seek alternative training at a fraction of the cost. “Do you know of any such people who would provide training for cheaper? If you have a list of service providers please send it to us.”

During the conversation Mahesu neither confirmed nor denied the cost of the training. He also never refuted the claims made by our source. He did promise to respond to the email officially in due course.

Phala residents will march to mayor’s office Come the 28th of October, the residents of Phalaborwa will march from the four-way crossing at Essenhout and Selati Roads, to the office of the mayor, Pule Shayi, in Sealene Road to hand over their list of demands. The residents’ application to march has been approved by the council.

They have had enough. The town’s roads are almost impassable, rubbish is piling up in every open park in residential neighbourhoods, street hawkers have taken over every inch of pavement in the town’s centre, and informal mechanics occupy parking lots as workshops and discard their used parts and motor oil into the drainage system daily. Raw sewerage has been pumped into the Kruger National Park for years, and in fact is still continuing to this day. A criminal case was opened by a concerned citizen’s movement last month in an effort to get the Green Scorpions involved, but that case was almost immediately withdrawn.

There is no proper medical facility in town either after the closure of the Clinix Private Hospital earlier this year, and many parents send their children off to boarding schools in Tzaneen to complete

their high school education.

To add insult to injury, the Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality continues to increase property rates annually by astronomical percentages. Currently, close on 500 houses are in the property market as residents pack up and move to greener pastures, content with having to sell their homes for less than the market value.

“No more! We will no longer stand for the financial mismanagement, the lack of maintenance, incompetence and the general degeneration of our once beautiful town. The municipality has ignored us long enough. They drive their flashy cars and live in their big houses while their community suffers. Maybe now they will listen,” said one frustrated resident. “It would appear as though the municipal officials have forgotten that they work for the residents, we pay their The landmark entrance to town, recognized by visitors worldwide, has undergone an upgrade and a clean up following the salaries, not the other way around.” initiative of a lone community member who was fed up with the municipality’s inadequecies.

Team Sugar takes top award

Sakhar. That’s Russian for sugar.

It is also the sound of applause when pronounced phonetically, and that is exactly what filled the conference hall in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on Saturday evening, the 14th of October when OK Sugarhill Mini Mart took top honours in their category.

That’s right, Tzaneen’s favourite convenience shopping hub, OK Sugarhill Mini Mark, is the best in the country. The store known for its great range of

grocery items, clean aisles and welcoming counter staff, is now officially the flagship Mini Mart in the retail group.

This follows the recent regional nominations which saw OK Sugarhill take top spot above all 112 stores in the Northern Division. This means that this afternoon when you greet those friendly ladies behind the counter, you are doing so inside the best OK Mini Mark store in the country. And it is right here, in this tiny farming town.

The victory came as no surprise

with the management team and staff being known for their friendly, efficient service under the leadership of renowned retailer, Lino de Carvalho. The award was the perfect belated birthday present to Lino who is currently rehabilitating from the aneurism and stroke he suffered a month ago. Bulletin congratulates our very own Sugarman and his team on this fantastic achievement. We are proud to be associated with the Sugar group and wish Lino and his team only the best for the coming year.

Heroic officer shot during hijacking A mother and her son were hijacked by a gang of suspects during the early hours of Wednesday morning. According to reports Clive Mashele and her 20-year old son were overpowered by a group of men at their home in Nkowankowa shortly after they returned from an outing. The suspects demanded money from the Mashele’s as they had allegedly received information that the family kept a large amount of cash on the premises.

After searching through the entire house and finding no money, the suspects demanded their bank cards and PIN numbers to withdraw money from their bank accounts. After handing them the cards and PIN numbers, they were forced into the back

of the suspects’ vehicle and held at gunpoint.

Two other members of the group then drove off with the Mashele’s Mercedes Benz to an ATM at the nearby Tickyline fuelling station.

The suspects in the other vehicle also drove to a nearby ATM. It is believed that they had other stolen bank cards with them.

The men failed to withdraw any money from the Mashele’s accounts as they had been given the wrong PIN numbers. Furious, they contacted their partners who were guarding their victims. The suspects threatened to shoot Mashele if she did not give up the correct information.

During this time, an off-duty police captain had pulled into the fuelling station and noticed the Mercedes. Not seeing the suspects

nearby, he pulled up beside the vehicle and removed the keys from the ignition. The suspects overpowered him and attempted to lock him in the boot of his own car. During the ensuing fight, he was shot in the torso and the arm. Captain Rathebula fought back and managed to break free from his assailants to jump into his vehicle and speed off.

As he was driving away, the suspects continued to fire at him, hitting the vehicle twice.

Rathebula made it to the CM Pathluli hospital where he was stabilized and his wounds tended to.

Both groups of suspects fled into the direction of Ofcolaco. The men in the vehicle with the Masheles, stopped at the intersection near the dirt road to Allegrain Dairies

close to Sekororo, and kicked her son out of the vehicle. They then turned up the gravel road that leads towards the Harmony block.

Roughly two kilometres up the road they stopped and dropped Clive off in the middle of the road. Her son had in the meantime ran to a nearby farmer’s house to seek help.

There was nobody home and so he ran back to the fulling station from where the police were called.

Later that morning, Clive was found by workers at one of the De Beer and Sons pack houses. They were both treated in hospital and will be receiving trauma counselling. At the time of going to print Captain Rathebula was recovering at Tzaneen Mediclinic. The suspects were still at large.

Suspects attack Rheebokvlei farm workers A group of farm workers were assaulted by four Sotho-speaking suspects during the early hours of Thursday morning on a family-owned game farm outside Haenertsburg. The property was previously known as the Island Blue lodge and was owned by a German businessman.

Reports suggest that the group of robbers tied up and beat the farm workers before making off with the family’s Land Cruiser and a large number of stolen items. Their loot included three brush cutters, a generator, two chainsaws, solar panels, solar batteries, solar charge controllers and clothing which they loaded onto the vehicle. The suspects drove the

land cruiser straight the game fence surrounding the property to make their getaway.

One of the workers who has been employed on the farm for close on 15 years, alerted the local CPF group before rushing to mend the gaping hole in the fence and prevent the animals from escaping. This despite having been severely beaten.

Haenertsburg police and other security companies were activated and a manhunt was launched for the vehicle. It is believed that the land cruiser may have been specifically targeted for buyers in Mozambique as there has been an increase in the theft of these specific vehicles. The registra-

tion number for the stolen cruiser is CVR239L and members of the public are requested to be on the lookout for the vehicle as the possibility exists that it could still be in the area.

The vehicle details have been circulated to all SAPS and security sector groups as well as the border controls between South Africa and neighbouring countries. At the time of going to print we received information that the farm workers were recovering from their injuries.

Another cash heist rocked the Mopani District on Tuesday afternoon when a group of armed suspects hit a G4S money truck outside Hoedspruit. The incident occurred at around 17:30 that afternoon near the Klaserie Bridge 20 kilometres outside of town.

The suspects were travelling in a white BMW X5, a white VW Golf and a silver Audi A4. They forced the truck off the road and used explosives to gain access to the money bins.

According to reports, the suspects blew up the truck three times before finally making off with the money.

A search by local security groups in that area was launched less than half

an hour after the incident was reported. Police and security companies were activated but at the time of going to print no arrests had been made.

This latest incident followed a week after a money truck was attacked in Phalaborwa’s town centre as the guards were picking up money at one of the malls. In that instance however, the criminals fled empty handed as the money tins they robbed were empty. Security officers found the discarded canisters next to the road a block from where the attack happened. In both instances nobody was seriously wounded.

Die jong man was sterk en fiks en het glad nie gerus nie. Hy het gekap dat die byle huil. Maar die bejaarde het so elke 15 minute gerus. Aan die einde van die dag toe die bome getel word, het die bejaarde gewen met baie meer bome as die jong man, wat dit glad nie kon verstaan nie. Toe die mense vir die bejaarde vra hoe dit moontlik is, want hy het elke 15 minute gerus, het hy hulle geantwoord: “Elke keer wat ek gerus het, het ek my byl skerp gemaak.”

Ons oupas en oumas het ook baie hard gewerk en nie die voordeel van gesofistikeerde tegnologie gehad nie. Hulle het nie rekenaars en selfone gehad nie maar die meeste kenners is dit eens, dat hulle nie naastenby so uitgeput en afgemat was, soos ons vandag is nie. Wetenskaplikes het in die jaar 2000 ‘n interessante voorspelling gemaak. Hulle het gesê: “Teen die jaar 2020 gaan tegnologie ons lewens so vergemaklik dat die mensdom omtrent net 7 ure ‘n week gaan werk.”

Nou ja... die jaar 2020 is baie naby en die meeste mense kla oor moegheid en uitputting. Mense draf, ry fiets en gaan gimnasiums toe maar almal bly moeg. Inteendeel, ons het minder tyd as wat ons ooit gehad het. ‘n Verslag in die tydskrif Newsweek word dr. Mark Moskowitz van die Universiteit van Boston se mediese sentrum aangehaal: “Baie mense werk vier-en-twintig van elke dag en sewe dae van die week, selfs wanneer hulle tegnies nie by die werk is nie.”

Wat is die oplossing? Die Bybel het voorstelle. Beide kry ons by God self.

Aan die eenkant moet ons fisies rus. Nadat Hy die wêreld geskep het, het God self op die sewende dag gerus. Daarom kom sy opdrag in Eksodus 34:21: “Ses dae moet jy werk, maar op die sewende dag moet jy rus. Of dit nou ploegtyd of oestyd is, jy moet rus!” Aan die anderkant moet jy ook iewers by God uitkom.

Stil raak saam met Hom. Ons is nie net fisiese mense nie maar ook geestelik.

Hier is God se raad: “Selfs jongmanne word moeg en raak afgemat, selfs manne in hulle fleur struikel en val, maar dié wat op die Here vertrou, kry nuwe krag.

Hulle vlieg met arendsvlerke, hulle hardloop en word nie moeg nie, hulle loop en raak nie afgemat nie” (Jesaja 40:30 & 31).

Ek weet baie mense dink, ag dit werk nie, maar dit is wat ons oupas en oumas gedoen het… en hulle byle was baie skerper as ons s’n!

ATKV-Eiland ride dusted

Laeveld Trekkers

10km and a new edition of a 10km Trail Run. There was also a 4km and a 500m fun ride for the little ones.

The weather held up its end of the bargain for most of the races with a slight downpour ushering in the arrival of the overall winner on the day, Allen Gordon, in a time of 01:54:15. Roelien Britz boasted the first lady over the line with her time of 02:19:04 with Jandrew du Preez and Louisette van Hellsdingen taking first place in the 30km ride for men and women respectively.

A walk through an indigenous forest The Lesodi Trail is a stone’s throw away from the Magoebaskloof Hotel just off the R71.

It’s a beautiful meander, up and down steps, through a shady indigenous forest with old interesting shaped trees as well as Cathedral trees and Strangler Figs. The forest is home to a group of samango monkeys. Being shy primates, they are often not visible but can be heard rustling through the leaves of the high tree canopies as they watch the humans walk on by.

Rotary Haenertsburg maintains the area and preserves its inherent beauty. There’s a bench made out of concrete and rocks at the half way mark to rest and take a breather whilst listening to the creatures of the forest.

The annual ATKV-Eiland Spa Bergfietswedren was held on the 7th of October amid miserable weather and rather wet conditions. The area had received some sporadic rains the evening before and the riders seemed set to face a muddy off-road track – which is the way they like it.

The track itself was described as the ideal mix between a jeep track, single track and windy farm roads in the areas around the resort near Letsitele and the Hans Merensky Nature Reserve. As the race is usually held during the October school break, many families take the outing as a bit of a break away from their daily meander through the rat race.

The MTB race started at 07:30 and the distances were 60km, 30km,

Driverless cars are not the future They are the present. We are living in the movies we watched as kids and it is about time that humanity learns to embrace the arrival of artificial intelligence, android customer liaisons and vehicles driven solely by a series of silicon chips, motherboards and complicated software.

It may seem far-fetched but the fact of the matter is that as you are reading this article, there is a vehicle, powered by industry leading Google software, circumventing the planet.

Google’s artificial intelligence is so cutting edge in fact, that the US Department of Transportation (US DOT) announced in February last year, that it considers the AI powering Google’s driverless cars (which have already logged hundreds of thousands of self-driven miles) officially a “driver”—marking a ground-breaking moment in the history of transportation.

Later that year - in September - the DOT unveiled guidelines for the development of autonomous vehicles, calling it “the most comprehensive national, automated vehicle policy that the world has ever seen.”

The adoption of driverless vehicles has also come under scrutiny—most notably after the fatal accident that happened in May 2016 when Joshua Brown, operating his Tesla Model S in Autopilot mode, crashed into an

18-wheel tractor trailer. The incident highlighted the complex technological and social hurdles still facing the widespread adoption of driverless vehicles. Since then, Tesla has also released an update to Autopilot, which Elon Musk said would have likely prevented the accident.

Despite the debate, one fact is undisputed:

Autonomous vehicles are here, and many more are coming. Ford announced its intention to mass-produce fully-autonomous, level 5 vehicles by 2021—that’s no steering wheel, no brakes, no human required. According to a report from BI Intelligence, there will be 10 million of them on the road at that point.

So where will we first start seeing driverless cars? It is still rather unclear to be honest, but Singapore now has self-driving taxis in a limited area of the city, and taxi giant, Uber, has unveiled its own driverless fleet in Pittsburgh. But these cars are still operated by safety engineers behind the wheel, taking notes. Ford’s CEO has said that its own driverless cars will likely start out in ride-sharing fleets. And Tesla’s updated Masterplan also highlights its intention to weave shared vehicles into the mix.

There is however a question of trust. Will you be comfortable sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle driven entirely by a computer programme? Will these vehicles be susceptible to hackers, and how will viruses affect it?

At the heart of the driverless car question is consumer acceptance. While the technology factor is necessary to get these vehicles on the road, how to make these vehicles work is just one part of the equation. The experience of driving is about to radically change in a world of self-driving cars. And the issue of trust will be central to the adoption of the new technology.

Although safety is predicted to improve significantly, with an expected 80% reduction in accidents by 2040, the idea of “safe-

ty” may need to be redefined, shifting from driver to software. According to the experts, new areas of concern could include technical failures, related to bugs, as well as security vulnerabilities—cybersecurity will become a major concern when these cars hit the road.

Still, the danger posed by cybersecurity attacks pales in comparison to the carnage on the road today. There are about 32,000 fatalities per year due to auto accidents in the United States alone (the average number peaked at around 55,000 per year in the early 1970s), according to data from the NHTSA. Over 90% of those accidents were caused by human error, as reported in multiple studies.

But even with the assumption that safety will improve, the combination of technical uncertainties with cultural baggage in the western world make it likely that we will have a low tolerance for error when it comes to safety in autonomous vehicles. Many people may find it more forgivable for a human to make a mistake on the road than the computer that’s in charge.

Speaking at a symposium hosted in July 2016 by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), Bryant Walker Smith, professor at the University of South Carolina, said that we may be thinking about the issue of driverless vehicles all wrong.

“We should be terrified,” he said, “of conventional driving.”

Fransies is Nasionale wenners Phalaborwa se dapperste kreatiewes het dit gewaag om vroeër dié maand te gaan grootpraat in Centurion by laerskool Hennopspark. Die groep redenaars het gaan deelneem aan die Oppie Tong Af nasionale redenaars kompetisie. Die unieke kompetisie word elke jaar dwarsoor die land onder al die top skole in elke provinsie gehou. Die weeners uit elke provinsie kom dan teen mekaar in die nasionale finaal te staan.

Daar is twee kategorië, naamlik voorbereid en onvoobereide toesprake, in elke ouderdomsgroep vanaf Graad 1 tot Graad 12. Skole kon individuele of groepsinskrywings inhandig.

Die Fransies het vir gen een van die groter skole teruggestaan nie, maar het inteendeel meeste van die kategorië gedomineer. Yuné Porteus (Graad 9) het as Nasionale wenner in die onvoorbereide kategorie weggestap.

Die Graad 11’s het net so goed gevaar in die individuele toesprake met Tracy Muvhango en Janus van Rooyen wat in die Voorbereide toesprake ook as Nasionale wenners gekroon is en Daniel Westwood wat ‘n Derde plek ingepalm het.

In die groep redenaars kategorie het die Fransies weer bo uitgekom met drie van hul vier spanne wat as die grootste praters van die lot aangewys is. Die Graad 9-span het tweede geëindig met die Graad 10 tot Graad 12 spanne wat goud huis toe gevat het.

Drie na tweede vlak Ronan Theron

Daniel Smit van Hoërskool Merensky en Ockert Schoeman van Laerskool Tzaneen.

Dit was ‘n baie koue Saterdagmiddag in Tzaneen twee naweke terug. Die ysige koue weer kon egter nie die entoesiasme van drie Merensky swemmers demp nie, en het hulle aan die vierde ouderdomsgroep swemgala deelgeneem. Dié gala is by die Tzaneen Munisipale swembad gehou.

Daniel Smit swem reeds op nasionale vlak en het tydens hierdie gala aan die 200m rugslag en -vryslag en 1 500m vryslag items deelgeneem. Hy het sy persoonlike tyd

in die 200m rugslag verbeter.

Kayla Olivier het met haar 50m bors- en rugslagitems gekwalifiseer vir Vlak 2.

Ronan Theron het met sy 50m vlinderslag gekwalifiseer vir Vlak 2. Hy het ook die 50m borsslag trotseer.

Swemmers kry tydens hierdie galas geleentheid om kwalifiserende tye te swem en daarmee deel te neem aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Vlakke Kampioenskappe en Nasionale Jeugkampioenskappe vroeg in 2018.

Tennisafrigter speel SA’s ‘n Tennisafrigter van Hoërskool Merensky, Me. Alexandra Dreyer, het van die 9de tot die 14de Oktober vir die Gauteng-Noord 30+ A-span, aan die Suid-Afrikaanse tenniskampioenskappe in Bloemfontein deelgeneem.

Ses provinsiale spanne het vyf dae lank meegeding om te bepaal wie die inter-provinsiale spankampioene is. Dreyer se

span het met die louere weggestap. Sy het 10 wedstryde in dié toernooi gespeel, waarvan sy agt gewen het. Sy bekleë tans die tweede posisie in Suid-Afrika in die vroue 30-35 ouderdomsgroep.

Dreyer speel oor die volgende drie agtereenvolgende naweke in Gauteng-Noord geslote toernooie ten einde te kwalifiseer vir opname in die 2018 provinsiale span.

Wandri Jansen van rensburg, Genevieve van der Merwe, Anri Janse van Rensburg, Salomé Lombard en Dawie van Jaarsveld.

Plasie ruiters op SA’s Ses Limpopo-ruiters van Hoërskool Merensky het onlangs aan die Suid-Afrikaanse nasionale kampioenskap vir Western Mounted Games by die Afridome in Parys deelgeneem.

In die SANESA skoleafdeling het nuweling, Dominique Bond, in die 3de-plek geeïndig.

Vlak 4 ruiters, Dawie van Jaarsveld (3de), Genevieve van der Merwe (6de), Salomé Lombard (7de) en Wandri Janse van Rensburg (30ste) het teen 29 ander deelnemers kompeteer. Hierdie gedugte viermanskap

is ook deel van die Limpopo-skolespan wat die spankompetisie gewen het. Vlak 7 ruiter, Anri Janse van Rensburg, moes ongelukkig na ‘n harde val op haar nek, tydens dag 1, onttrek.

In die ope-afdeling het Salomé Lombard ‘n 6de- en Wandri Janse van Rensburg ‘n 56ste plek uit 78 ruiters op Vlak 2 behaal.

Dawie van Jaarsveld behaal ‘n 41ste- en Genevieve van der Merwe ‘n 50ste plek uit 78 ruiters op Vlak 3 in dieselfde afdeling.

Beker bly tuis

Tzaneen pronk wéér met die Limpopo Krieketliga-kampioenskapstrofee. Dit nadat Hoërskool Ben Vorster die afgelope naweek vir Pietersburg Hoërskool (PHS) in die eindstryd met vier paaltjies geklop het. Die Vossies se bure, Hoërskool Merensky was verlede jaar die liga-kampioene.

Die naweek se wedstryd is op PHS se velde in Polokwane gespeel. Die gashere het eerste gekolf met Ivan Reynecke wat net-net sy honderdtal kwyt is toe hy op 96 lopies deur naatbouler Franco Oberholzer gestuit is. Die Vossies se boulers het ‘n aggressiewe aanval op die PHS kolwers geloots met Vernon Harmse wat vier paaltjies, insluitend dié van PHS-kaptein Driaan Kruger, vir net 43 lopies op die dag geneem het.

Kruger se paaltjie was broodnodig. Dié aanvallende kolwer was die doring in die vlees van Limpopo se top krieketspanne dwarsdeur die seisoen en het hy sy telling geopen met ‘n pragtige ses vanaf die tweede aflewering in sy

beurt. Toe hy terug kleedkamer toe gestuur is, het hy met 22 lopies van slegs 11 aflewerings gepronk.

Ben Vorster se snelbouler, Johan Harms, het twee paaltjies vir net 13 lopies in agt boulbeurte platgetrek. Hy was ook sy span se voorste kolwer en het 89 lopies van 108 aflewerings bymekaar gemaak om sy span se oorwinning te verseker. Sy beurt het vir 12 viere en twee kragtige sesse gesorg.

Die ander Vossie-kolwers wat uitgeblink het op die dag was Franco Oberholzer (28), Vernon Harms (20) en Artwell Mokgolobotso wat ook 20 lopies ingepalm het.

Die beste bouler aan die Pietersburg kant van die stryd was Gerhard Venter wat twee

paaltjies vir slegs 33 lopies geëis het.

Eerskomende Saterdag sal Ben Vorster in die kwarteindrondte van die Gunn & Moore Noordvaal-reeks teen die Benoniers van Hans Moore, op eie bodem te staan kom. Gaan ondersteun gerus die plaaslike skool in hul poging om die finaal van hierdie strawwe reeks te haal.
