What led to the Modjadjiskloof siege?

The stalemate

Two weeks after Greek businessman, Michael Toulou (71), evicted settlers off his property in Modjadjiskloof and demolished their homes, the tension in Modjadjiskloof is palpable.

Groups of young men have been occupying the sidewalks outside the various shopfronts of the retail buildings owned by Toulou. Their aim is to ensure that no trading takes place by the shopkeepers who rent from the “Greek”. At the time of going to print Bulletin had received information that the EFF was planning to close off both entrances to Modjadjiskloof, this was not yet confirmed by yesterday afternoon (Wednesday). We have also learnt that the local police have requested assistance from provincial police to monitor the situation.

It started on Friday morning, two weeks ago when Toulou, brandishing a court order from the Land Claims Court and accompanied by the Letaba Sheriff and members of the SAPS, evicted a number of people off a portion of the farm Kort Hannie 439.

He had bought the land 11 years ago from a local doctor. Canine Security was also present and assisted the inhabitants of the houses to vacate the property orderly. Bulldozers then proceeded to flatten the structures they had been occupying including three homes that were constructed many years ago, by the previous landowner.

This move caused a major stir among the local population. Led by local pastor and self-proclaimed leader of the community, Michael Rametse, a large group of people descended upon Modjadjiskloof and in an act of retaliation, proceeded to vandalise Kloof Supermarket – a building owned by Toulou. Soon, the vandalism evolved into widespread hooliganism with the protestors demanding that all business owners leasing from Toulou immediately shut their doors.

At the local liquor store a group demanded “donations” in exchange for not vandalising the premises and further up the road Dr Spies was forced to stop treating a patient mid-consultation, and close the clinic. The pharmacy adjacent to the clinic was also forced to close.

By midday the protesting group had gathered at the local U-Save store and demanded that the manager provide them with food and drink or they will break down the store front. It was then that SAPS Public Order Policing (POP) units arrived on the scene and opened fire on the protestors, wounding approximately four of them as they fled.

For the entire weekend and into the new week, shopkeepers were warned not to open their doors for business or face the consequences.

This continued through the following Wednesday when CPF Chairman, Dave Protter decided to put a stop to the intimidation and arrived early that morning to open the doors to the clinic and the pharmacy. He felt it necessary that the community needed access to their medical care.

Soon after opening the doors however, a group of young upstarts arrived in a bakkie and started hurling insults at Protter. They became aggressive and ran towards the clinic where

they slammed the windows and kicked at the door shouting “shoot me white man!”

Protter contacted the police and eventually three officers arrived on scene. An hour later Michael Rametse and an EFF member of parliament, Reneiloe Mashabela (Former DA Councillor) arrived at the clinic and calmed the protestors down. Captain Mushwana of the Modjadjiskloof SAPS addressed the two leaders and warned them that the protestors were acting outside of the law and said that if they fail to control their members, action would be taken by the officers. He further asked them for their documentation to prove that they had obtained permission to hold a public demonstration and a march. Rametse said that they had not yet obtained permission to do so, but were in the process of obtaining said consent for a march the following day. (This effectively means that Rametse and his group engaged in an unauthorised protest for more than a week).

The group eventually dispersed and the clinic and pharmacy once again opened its doors.

Thursday, 15th November

Busses of protestors were shipped in from as far afield as Polokwane to join in the march from one of the town entrances, to the Modjadjiskloof Police station. In total around 300 marchers all clad in EFF Red or ANC Yellow regalia arrived at the doorstep of the Modjadjiskloof police. There, Rametse handed over a memorandum demanding that the police arrest Toulou on charges of malicious damage to property and contempt of court and that he be forced to rebuild the homes he demolished.

There was no reported vandalism during the march, but after the proceedings residents reported that groups of young men were spotted in parked vehicles all across town acting as lookouts to warn their leaders should any of the shops open their doors.

Stand van Damme Dam Levels

Claims that there exists a separate court order which supersedes the one in possession of the protesting group has caused division among the Modjadjiskloof community. According to Tzaneen Cluster Commander Major General Maggie Mathebula, there is allegedly a separate court order which allowed for the Letaba Sheriff and the security company to demolish all the dwellings as well as evict all the occupants who had settled on Toulou’s land.

She allegedly communicated this to Rametse in a meeting which he had with her on Monday morning. Rametse claimed that he has not yet seen such a document and until such time as it is presented, the community he represents will not be satisfied.

Bulletin contacted the Sheriff of the court, Tertius Robertson, who said that the order he served on the occupants of Toulou’s property stated that the demolition and eviction should proceed. He also indicated that both he and his deputy had on three occasion in the weeks leading up to the eviction, served this notice to the residents on that property, but received no correspondence. This was confirmed by a member of the security company who had accompanied him.

On Toulou’s side of the fence, claims are being made that the occupants were allowed to live on the property when he purchased it several years ago. He also stated in an interview with another publication that he never had any problems with the tenants until they started renting out these buildings to other people. There were also reports of stands being sold to the community on Toulou’s land by an individual known only as Pilusa. Toulou obtained the court order to have the trespassers removed and the structures demolished.

At the time of going to print, we had received no new information regarding the SAPS response to the memorandum handed over to them by the protestors, nor had we been able to confirm whether the shops in town would be “allowed” to do business as usual. We have also not received any formal response from the SAPS Provincial spokesperson, Col Moatshe Ngoepe on the matter.

Ngoepe did however speak to other media houses where he denied allegations that the police were reluctant to arrest Toulou. “As the police we have a responsibility to react immediately when a member of the community complains about particular people. At this stage we are still investigating all what happened but along the way there are also criminal cases which were opened and all those cases are also still being investigated, in terms of the situation we are still patrolling the area and we have deployed enough to make sure there is law and order in the area.”

The evicted families have asked for help from government to rebuild their houses and are in the meantime living in tents supplied to them by the Greater Letaba Municipality.

Opkoms van die Waterplantvreters Francois van der Poll, ‘n bekende uit die omgewing, het hierdie week ‘n moontlike oplossing vir die streek se Hyacinth probleem op die proef gestel. Sy maatskappy, FM Sheet Metal Works, werk al vir die afgelope jaar aan ‘n masjien wat hierdie waterplant pestilensie letterlik opvreet en uitspoeg.

Die “Hyacinth Harvester” is deur Van der Poll ontwerp en vervaardig met die hidroliese sisteem wat deur Kardos Hydraulics ontwerp en installeer is. Dit is werklik ‘n merkwaardige uitvinding en die eerste prototipe van dié masjien het Dinsdag vir die eerste keer aan die Hyacinth geproe. ‘n Aangepaste vervoerband trek die waterplante uit die rivier uit en voer dit in ‘n kipper

in wat die vegetasie dan fyn kerf en uitspoeg op ‘n tweede band wat die opgekapte materiaal in ‘n trok se bak in voer.

Die gekerfte plantmateriaal kan dan gebruik word in die vervaardiging van kompos.

“Hierdie is nog sover net ons prototipe en ons maak verstellings en veranderings soos wat daar nodig is,” het Van der Poll verduidelik. “Vanoggend het ons so paar dinge raakgesien wat mens net sou agterkom gedurende ‘n praktiese oefenloop.

Ons weet nou wat ons nodig het om die stroper nog meer effektief te maak, en sal nou terug gaan werkswinkel toe met hierdie nuwe waarnemings.”

Bulletin het ‘n video van die stroper se eerste lopie oor ons sosiale kanale gepubliseer en teen gisteraand het Van der Poll se masjien reeds meer as 24 000 belanghebbendes gelok. Kommentaar het ingestroom van regoor die land en ‘n paar mense vanuit Hartebeespoortdam se area het belangstelling om van hierdie masjiene te koop, aangedui.

Nog meer oor hierdie indrukwekkende masjien sal in ons volgende AgriBulletin uitgawe gepubliseer word. Gaan kyk gerus na die video op ons Facebook blad om Van der Poll se masjien in aksie te sien.

vroeër vanjaar beskadig is nie, sal behou word, en sal aan die nuwe gedeelte deur middel van ‘n “groengang” verbind word. ‘n Groter restaurant vervang die ou een en die nuwe kroeg sal drie maal groter as die oorspronklike wees. Die manne sal ook nou hul eie houtdek wat uitkyk op die Letaba Rivier, by die kroeg kan benut. Die bestaande houtdek word verleng om die hele kant van die gebou parallel met die oewer van die Letaba Rivier, toegangbaar te maak.

Na verskeie besprekings en onderhandelings onder die lede van die bestuurskommittee is daar besluit om die nuwe Letaba Junction opreg eie aan die gemeenskap te maak. “Die Junction is al vir baie jare ‘n baken vir ons boere gemeenskap en selfs die breër gemeenskap wat strek vanaf Phalaborwa tot Haenertsburg. Dit is ons gevoel dat om seker te maak dat hierdie baken behoue bly om elke lid van die gemeenskap die geleentheid te bied om ‘n aandeelhouer in Letaba Junction te word,” het Piet Smit, voorsitter van die bestuur verduidelik.

Daar is 1 366 nuwe aandele, teen ‘n koste van R8 000 per aandeel, beskikbaar gemaak vir enige lid

van die gemeenskap wat sou belangstel om in die projek in te koop. Die waarde van elke aandeel is gebasseer op ‘n maatskappy waardasie van R4.2 miljoen. Die projek het ‘n positiewe netto huidige waarde van R4 202 660 en ‘n interne opbrengskoers van 28.26% gebasseer op ‘n 20% aandeelhouers verwagte verdienste. Vir diegene wat sou

belangstel, skakel gerus vir Alfie Viljoen op 082 827 0026 vir meer inligting.

Vir gereelde opgedateerde inligting oor die bouwerk en die verloop van die projek, besoek gerus Letaba Junction se Facebook blad. Die indrukwekkende 3D videos en selfs 360o fotos van die nuwe geboue kan ook daar besigtig word.

Die splinternuwe Letaba Junction bouprojek is tydens ‘n intieme aangeleentheid op Letsitele aan aandeelhouers, genooide gaste en lede van die bestuur bekendgestel. Stefan Lombaard, die argitek en eienaar van Bardi Creativ wat die nuwe Junction ontwerp het en ook die bouprojek oorsien, het ‘n indrukwekende voorlegging aan die groep gebied.

Die raadsaal van die Komati Groep het behoorlik gegons terwyl 3D-geskenkde fotos van die voorgestelde nuwe, dubbelverdieping gebou en al sy fasiliteite op ‘n projektorskerm verby geflits het. Die gebou sal steeds die Bosveld boere-gemeenskap gevoel behou maar sal toegerus wees met ultra-moderne afwerkings en ekstra geriewe soos ‘n privaat trou- of partytjie saal met aparte ablusie-fasiliteite en selfs ‘n kroeg. Daar is ook ‘n nuwe kinderspeelarea beplan wat in die middel van die gebou, tussen die restaurant, Orange Matters en ‘n splinternuwe koffiekroeg opgerig sal word. Die populêre Beauty Matters skoonheidssalon sal ook in hierdie area gevestig wees.

Taxi fares up

Taxi Associations in the Tzaneen area have resolved to increase their fares following the increase in fuel in the past few weeks. The increase of R1 and R2 on most of the routes seem to have been accepted by the commuters despite the fact most workers are now using bakkies which charge less per trip. While some have already upped their fares, others will implement their increase on the 1st of December.

According to posters by the Greater Tzaneen Taxi Association (GTTA) the increases will differ depending on the distances of the routes. The most expensive trip will be from Tzaneen town to places such as Julesburg, Mogapeng and Masoma which are about 50 kilometres apart.

The poster details that residents of the aforementioned areas will

have to pay R17 and R16 to reach their destinations while there will be new trips such as from Lephepane to Maake Plaza. Another taxi route is expected to be opened from Khujwana to Maake plaza through Lenyenye and the matter is still to be discussed with commuters in the area. The fare for these local trips are estimated to be around R9.

The other route which will be affected by the increases include the local trips between Maake Plaza to places such as Ga-Nyesa and Nketo, Graighead Estate, Masoma, Mogapeng, Moime, Thabine and other local areas which will see an increase of R1 or R2.

Taxi drivers had expressed happiness that they would at least have

something to hide under socks given that December is the busiest time for taxi operators. The move is welcomed by commuters and drivers alike. However the Nkowankowa Taxi Association had increased their fares since the beginning of November with one Rand. It costs R13 from Nkowankowa to Tzaneen and Burgersdorp to Nkowankowa is billed the same.

The other taxi associations in the Tzaneen area to be affected by the increases are the Bolobedu United Taxi Association serving Bolobedu, Letaba Taxi Association serving the communities of Trichardsadal and the distance taxi associations such as those traveling to far flung places like Polokwane, Phalaborwa, Boyne-Moria and Bushbuckridge areas.

#VBSsaga ANC NWC calls for heads of delinquent mayors A 35-year old off-duty security guard was shot and killed by a police officer on Monday afternoon. The incident occurred at the Tzaneen taxi rank behind Tzaneng Mall. The man was identified as Robbie Ngcobo, a former employee of Kgosi Monene Security.

It is alleged that Ngcobo and another individual had become involved in an argument at which point the situation became heated and Ngcobo

produced his firearm. A policeman in civilian clothing saw the incident and demanded that Ngcobo drop the firearm. He refused and turned the weapon on the officer who open fire and shot and wounded him. He died later enroute to Van Velden Hospital.

The deceased was a licensed firearm owner. The policeman’s firearm has been confiscated and investigations are now underway.

The most powerful structure after the National Executive Committee (NEC), the National Working Committee (NWC) has ordered the that ‘Comrades’ who are implicated in the “Limpopo Great Heist” have action taken against them. This was said during its meeting on Tuesday at Lithuli House. The organisation also appealed to its members who might have information regarding state capture to appear before the Judge Raymond Zondo commission.

This follows after several mayors and senior members of the ANC were implicated in the Advocate Terry Motau report to the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) detailing that the bank was looted of the sum of R2 billion which was shared among 50 individuals. That report recommended that legal action be taken against the affected

parties in order to recoup the money.

“The NWC has reiterated the stance of the NEC that action be taken against the affected parties. The NWC has affirmed its dismay with the impact of the VBS saga on lives of ordinary people across the country and restated that those found guilty should face the full might of the law.” said secretary General Ace Magashue.

In another development the ANC has encouraged its members to appear before the Zondo commission which is underway in Gauteng. Magashule said that the ANC supports the work of the commission and therefore members are called upon to come forward with information that would helpful to the work of the commission so the blight could not be repeated again.

A bite to match the bark Canine Security has been actively involved in the combatting of crimes in the outlying areas of Tzaneen for the past two years. In this time the unit, which is known for its ability to infiltrate deep into even the most notorious areas and sniff out suspects, have played an integral part in the apprehension of suspects alongside the SAPS. Through their close working relationship with the area and provincial SAPS leadership, Marius Jacobs and Craig Coppen have managed to grow their business to where they boast six vehicles, a number of armed guards and a pack of hounds. Some of their success included the apprehension of three would-be

lion poachers in 2017 at André de Lange’s Lion and Predator Park. They also played a pivotal role in the Dindinnie Saga. Other success included the apprehension of one of the most notorious timber theft syndicate ring leaders after he managed to evade capture for a number of months.

Canine Security was started by the Coppen brothers, Craig and André, but after the latter’s retirement, Jacobs was approached and bought into the company.

They currently operate in an area covering the entirety of Ofcolaco all the way through to Tzaneen, Haenertsburg and areas around Georges Valley and Magoebaskloof. Their bloodhounds are revered among

those within the safety and security industry and clients have reported exceptional service from their operational managers.

Not only do they provide onsite security and secure escorts, but also provide a CCTV monitoring and response system.

Their packages include customisable camera and early detection systems with remote monitoring from your mobile device for both household and industrial setups. Well known in the area for his Tzaneen Watchdog operation, Marius Jacobs has brought an air of trust to the outfit enforced by the continuous communication with his community. For any enquiries feel free to contact Jacobs on 079 898 4539.

Canine Security, where your safety is our priority.

Canine Security is under the ownership of Craig Coppen and Marius Jacobs. We are leaders in antipoaching and farm protection.

The Message

Granny’s Grumbles - The Blame game

As we are all aware, there is a vast difference between men and women, but when it comes to the blame game, men are past masters.

Consider this – eighteen years ago a contingent of Canadians arrived at the local mine on a three year contract. My hubby and I met most of them and became particularly friendly wih a couple called Tizzy and Sherry. One memorable morning as Sherry was preparing to kiss her spouse goodbye through the open window of the car, the vehicle lurched backwards and over her foot. Needless to say she let out a screech whereupon Tizzy immediately went forward – once again over her foot. The air was blue with expletives!!

Fortunately for all concerned (especially Tizzy) although her foot eventually turned black and was seriously swollen it appeared that nothing was broken.

However, not a few days later, Sherry had just seen hubby off to work and limped to the laundry (which ws down at the bottom of the garden) to get stuck into a week’s washing, when the next unfortunate inci-

dent took place.

After sorting all the laundry and getting the machine going she returned to the house to discover the back door locked. What on earth had happened – the door had been wide open when she left to go to the laundry? She discovered that the front door was also securely locked and since all the windows were burglar-barred, she was effectively locked out of her home in her slippers and in nightclothes Obviously the telephone was also in the house so she was in a bit of a pickle. She eventually hobbled to my house which was a good kilometre away so that she could phone hubby and explain what had happened. Turned out hubby had returned to the house, couldn’t find Sherry and had assumed she was visiting friends so locked the house (in the interests of security).

At a get-together on the following Saturday all the ladies present were amazed that she was still talking to him. Before Sherry could say a word, Tizzy explained that both insidents were actually her fault – she always left the car in reverse gear so that incident was obviously her fault – she also always left the doors wide open while she went visiting so he was not aware that she was merely in the laundry.

Sherry agreed that she left the car in reverse – the handbrake didn’t work and she didn’t want the vehicle being pushed out of the property. She had inadvertently left the back door open only ONCE. Hubby in fact managed to make it appear that she was to blame for both incidents.

The next incident concerned a man who worked at the mine many years ago and who I regularly saw at the photocopy machine - I will call him Ill Will. When I started at the mine I was advised by the old-timers to never ask him how he was – it would appear that (according to him) he was always ill. Evidently he had been suffering from severe headaches for over twenty years and to be honest he always had a pained look on his face. A couple

of years later somebody mentioned to me that he had gone into hospital for quite a serious operation. Was it something to do with the headaches? No it was a back problem.

A couple of weeks later I bumped into the man himself – he was actually smiling although obviously had a bit of back pain. No more headaches – and NO thanks to the doctors said Ill Will. What did he mean? Well – he’d been in hospital for ten days during which time he had not had one headache but the moment he went home the headaches started and his wife realised that they started as soon as he lit up his first cigarette. No cigarettes – no headaches. Evidently he had been smoking 50 cigarettes a day. Will felt that he had suffered for 20 years due to the fact that the doctors had not worked out that the problem lay with the smokes. HE was in no way to blame.

It would be remiss of me to finish this story without mentioning my hubby who regularly brings up the fact that women drag up history at the drop of a hat. The only reason men don’t dig up history is that generally speaking they don’t remember, especially if they’ve been out with friends. However, I am continually amazed at the way he leaves the house to go to work with the words – “I’m running late AGAIN” Since I’m the only person in the house, presumably this is intended for me although I don’t go with him to work and I’m just minding my own business. A short time ago I hit on the idea of going through a list of the things he regularly forgets so stopped him at the back door and told him to check specs, wallet, cell-phone, keys, etc, etc. Far from being delighted he complained that this is why he was always late!!

A short while later our youngest daughter asked what she could give dad for his birthday – I suggested a shoebox full of herbal tranquilisers to help stabilise our marriage. Being an obedient child she gave him 10 packets of Calmettes and I must say the difference is amazing, Calmettes – the answer to a troubled marriage!!!

Rev Ron Reiners Anglican Church Chance: We all take a chance sometime in life and often it does not come out as we expect.

Some people who are desperate for financial relief will try the Lotto with the hope of a great windfall. Others again will try to invent something, we are all guilty of hoping for something great to happen in our lives.

The truth is that it is often only through hard work and dedication that we achieve something. We also tend to blame others for our failure. It takes a strong character to fend off all the negativity we have to face in life, unfortunately some give in and cannot cope with all the stresses of life and see suicide as the only way out. These people who are in a state of deep depression are crying out for help, yet the feel that if they tell others about their problems they will be judged. We as fellow human-beings need to reach out to these people to show we care, however, we tend to be so busy with our own lives that we fail to consider others. I agree that it is often not easy to reach out especially if we are introverts and perhaps, we feel too that we will be judged for the things we do when we reach out. “Oh! They are just a goodie-two shoes.” What about our own family? Do we reach out to them? Do we take a chance to contact them regularly or do we often think that they must be okay because they have not said anything? Do we really know what they are going through?

We need to take an example from Jesus, He reached out to all He came into contact with. He was concerned about His disciples, continually praying for them, bringing them before His Father. Pleading for them, just as He pleaded for others. He had been given the power to do anything, yet He always consulted with His Father asking for guidance. We too need to consult with our Father before we attempt to reach out. Through the Holy Spirit we will get the guidance we need. People need prayer and often we think that it is only in material gifts that they will find solace. Often a kind word or even just a smile or a friendly greeting brings joy to those in need. I would like to encourage all to take a chance to step-out and be brave, you need to know that you are not alone, the Holy Spirit is always with you, but first you need to take a chance on Jesus, accepting Him as your Saviour, becoming His disciple.

Blessings

Come and ride with the wild

Driving into a high gated and highly secured wildlife sanctuary is daunting and so it should be particularly to poachers. SanWild (Sanctuary for Wildlife), is 3,000 hectares and was established 25 years ago, 58 kms from Tzaneen.

An area, immediately inside the formidable gates, has been cleared for the upcoming Family Fun Cycle on Saturday 1 December.

SanWild’s, André Grobler, and his son-in-law, Stephanus Lightfoot, said this will be their first ever Family Fun Cycle. Tree stumps will be used for seating. The public is asked to bring directors’ chairs, if so desired. There will be food and refreshment stalls as well as a jumping castle for children.

There will be a 20 and 8km cycle. The 20km starts at 07:00 and the 8km at 07:30. Entrance fees are non-riders R20, 8km R100 and 20km R150. Late entrants until 09:00 will be accepted.

The cyclists will wear wristband numbers and two will win a weekend for two at one of the three newly built luxury tented units due for completion in January 2019.

André hopes the Tzaneen community and further afield will come for the day. It’s not just about cycling but about enjoying the sanctuary and being able to appreciate the wildlife. Game drives will be offered on the day at a fee.

The anti-poaching team will be in operation during the Family Fun Cycle. During the interview a pack of elderly African Wild Dogs

walked slowly towards a nearby shady indigenous tree. They lay down and stared lazily at us a stone’s throw away. André said that they were about 14 years old and that’s about their lifespan in the wild. The pack was owned by someone in Johannesburg and brought to SanWild for rehabilitation. This pack gets hand fed every second day and André said, besides age making them lazy, they also polished off a rooibok which SanWild provided for them the day before.

SanWild has common game, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, kudu, klipspringer and the big five. All the wildlife has names. All nine elephants have names, a giraffe is called Kariba and there’s Lloyd the crocodile. Lloyd was thus named after an employee. Lloyd was lonely so André fetched a few crocodiles from the Crocodile Farm in Agatha to make life more pleasant for Lloyd.

Louise Joubert, the mainstay of SanWild with a knack for fund raising, died in a car accident on the Gravelotte road at the end of April this year. Mired in grief, her immediate family realised that they had to carry on and that the welfare of the wildlife is paramount. Hence the move to involve the local community with the family Fun Cycle and the luxury tented units for overseas guests. Louise’s widower, André Grobler, his daughter Denise and her husband Stephanus Lightfoot, as well as Louise’s daughter, Lizel Kachehoffer, are committed to carry

on Louise’s dream of offering to rehabilitate wildlife in a safe sanctuary.

The older three standard units are being modernised. The new units have everything that spells luxury from a well appointed shower with a shower rose to a bathroom with a his and hers basin plus a cast-iron bath.

The bathroom, shower and toilet are walled with Mixx paint finishes from ‘Inspired by Moya’. The master bedroom is tented with views all around. The outside walls have been finished with slate-like varnished rocks from the farm. Outside a walled shower, open to the sky, is being built as well as a jacuzzi. Both have views onto the man-made dam and feeding lot. A stone’s throw away is the lapa, with lounge and dining room, where breakfast, lunch and supper are served. There’s also a fire pit for those who wish to braai their own meat. A rock pool and a large deck overlook the feeding lot and dam.

Inclusive is a game drive either in the early morning or late in the evening.

Amor Vittone – “Ek Bly Net ‘n Ma” Amor Vittone is ‘n vrou van vele talente.

Min mense weet dat sy ‘n Honeurs graad aan RAU cum laude verwerf het, en dat sy sewe jaar lank ‘n SA danskampioen was. Haar loopbaan strek oor ‘n paar dekades met haar eerste CD “Wild Cherry Kisses” wat

20 jaar terug die lig gesien het.

Amor is bo alles ‘n Ma. Jordan (14) is gehoorgestrem maar dit laat hom nie terugstaan nie. Hy is deel van die Gautengse o/15 sokkerspan die doelwagter, al is hy net 14 jaar oud.

Kylie (12) het haar nasionale klere in perde skouspring verwerf. Die twee is Amor se trots en al waarvoor sy lewe. Sy erken dat sy baie trots is op baie dinge wat sy in die lewe vermag

het, maar haar grootste trots is om ‘n ma te wees, en dat sy ten spyte van als altyd dankbaar sal wees teenoor Joost omdat hy haar die twee grootste geskenke in haar lewe vir haar gegee het, haar twee pragtige kinders.

Amor is tans betrokke by vele projekte oa. “Dans in jou Taal”, ‘n KYKnet produksie waar sy die hoof beoordeelaar is vir dans, en sy is in die proses om haar eie dansstudio te

open wat sy van haar huis in Dainfern af sal bestuur. Sy is ook besig om landwyd te toer en konserte saam met dansskole te hou om dans te promoveer op ‘n manier wat elke danser ten spyte van hulle dansvermoë erkenning ontvang, en sodoende ‘n liefde vir die dissipline te kweek. Sy het as deel van die projek 10 November in Tzaneen saam met Celia School of Dance opgetree. Die dansstudio is deur Amor uit vele aansoeke gekies as deel van haar projek.

Deur haar moeilike tye is haar ouers en haar kinders haar steunpilare.

As ma sal sy enigiets doen om haar kinders se drome te realiseer. Jordan wil graag vir Liverpool Sokkerklub in Engeland speel, en Kylie wil ‘n Olimpiese perd skouspring kampioen word.

Amor laat haar moeilik onderkry.

Na ‘n baie slegte enkelbreuk in Januarie was daar ‘n moontlikheid dat haar voet geamputeer moes word.

Na spesialiste haar voet kon red was die prognose dat sy nooit weer normaal sal kan loop nie. 6 Maande later is die dame terug op die verhoog en dans met hoëhak skoene ‘n storm los.

Haar liedjies oor die jare heen reflekteer haar persoonlike groei en wie sy vandag is – ouer en wyser. Sy is ‘n bondel energie, pak die lewe by die horings en maak verseker lemonade as die lewe vir haar suurlemoene gooi.

VMF celebrates its 25th anniversary The Vervet Monkey Foundation celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Saturday evening. In keeping with its betterment of the lives of monkeys at the sanctuary, the VMF gave certificates to people involved in making this a better world for primates.

Deané Toerien het op die 1ste Oktober vanjaar haar sitplek op ‘n Boeing 747 ingeneem en reg gemaak vir die 15 uur-lange vlug Rusland toe. Aanboord saam met haar, was die res van die AVS Gazelle Hokkiespan. Hulle was oppad St Petersburg toe om die Rooi Bere se krag op die astrobaan te gaan meet.

Toerien het haar sitplek op dié vlug verseker deur tydens die Junie/Julie skoolvakansie aan die Afrikaner Volkseie Sport (AVS) Bokkieweek op Naboomspruit te gaan deelneem.

Die blitsvinnige blondine het aan die stuur van die Verre Noord O/19-span gestaan en het haar span tot in die finaal van hierdie toernooi in gelei.

Hulle het as naaswenners uit die stryd getreë wat dit die eerste keer in agt jaar vir die provinsie maak.

Na afloop van dié toernooi en haar uitstekende spel gelewer, is Toerien tot die O/19 AVS Bokkiespan verkies. Sy het tydens die bekroningsdinee in Pretoria haar Groen en Goud Erebaadjie ontvang. Die volgende dag – steeds in Pretoria – neem die span aan hul eerste oefen-wedstryd deel waar Toerien een van die vier wendoele aangeteken het.

Sy beskryf Rusland in die tipiese manier deur heel eerste die koue te beklemtoon, en as ons eerlik is, wie sou dan nou nie. Van die matige 35o ‘n oggend vroeër, na -2o net ‘n paar uur later. “Dit was baie koud. Eintlik is ‘baie koud’ nie eers naastenby die regte beskrywing nie, en dit het gereën toe ons daar land, maar die opgewondenheid was so groot, nie een van ons het vir lank daaraan gedink nie,” vertel sy met glimmer in haar oog. “Ons was daar om hokkie te speel en nuwe mense te ontmoet, maar wat ons gekry het was soveel meer as wat ons ooit verwag het.”

Sy gaan aan om te verduidelik hoe pragtig Moskou is wanneer jy op ‘n bus deur haar strate ry oppad na jou hotel toe. Sy het vertel van die vreemde disse en die vriendelikste mense.

En toe draai die gesprek in ernstige rigting in en ons praat hokkie.

Die Gazelle-span het aan vier wedstryde deelgeneem.

Twee is in Moskou en twee op Saint Petersburg gespeel. In hul eerste twee

kragmetings het die span teen Rusland se opkomende BOlimpiese-span te staan gekom en alhoewel hierdie klomp Hoërskool meisies net-net verloor het, was die ervaring iets besonders.

Terwyl ek met haar sit en gesels kom ek skielik die waarde van hierdie internasionale blootstelling agter. Veral vir atlete op Hoërskool-vlak. Deané is nie dieselfde dogtertjie wat ek drie jaar terug tydens ‘n o/16 hokkiewedstryd teen PHS afgeneem het nie. Dit is asof die toer vir haar so bietjie ekstra ‘oemf’ gegee het. Sy is nou besig met haar matriekeindeksamen by Hoërskool Ben Vorster en sien daarna uit om haar akademies- sowel as hokkieloopbaan daar verder voort te sit.

“Ek wil baie graag ‘n besonderse groot dankie aan elke persoon rig wat hierdie spesiale geleentheid vir my moontlik gemaak het. Daar is soveel goedhartige mense dat ek nie een wil uitsonder nie, maar wel elke een opreg kan bedank. Was dit nie vir julle nie sou my droom nooit kon waar word nie.”
