This week Bulletin took a tour through the belly of the Tzaneen Dam wall in what is known as the dam’s gallery. Essentially a tunnel 200m long and 2m wide used for maintenance. Whilst down inside this tunnel, we made a shocking discovery (pun intended). Read the full story on Page 3.

The last remains of the Barnyard Lakeside Theatre which used to stand proudly at Stanford Lake College (SLC) will likely be removed by the time you’ve finished reading this piece.

Last week Bulletin reported that the iconic structure was to be removed after many failed attempts to obtain the necessary fire safety certificate for it from the local authorities.

“Despite every best effort, having exhausted all available avenues, the school has been unable to obtain a fire safety certificate for the building, leaving the only option being for it to be taken down”, said Beth Coetzee, head of SLC’s marketing department.

Ruan Viljoen, one of the managers at the Warriors Academy, and a career specialist in personal and outdoor pursuit development, was part of the specialist team that worked on the deconstruction of the Barnyard Theatre.

Bulletin caught up to Viljoen for an update on the progress and what was to happen to all the timber removed from the structure.

A SANParks employee, Benedict Naphanga (34), died in a motor vehicle accident in the Kruger National Park last week Wednesday, the 25th of August. The accident occurred between Mopani and Shingwedzi Camp, however details to the accident are still not available as police have not issued an official statement.

SANParks Spokesperson, Isaac Phaahla, confirmed the accident. “We can confirm the accident and that it involved a staff member. Details are still sketchy, and the SAPS have taken over the investigation into the circumstances that led to the accident,” stated Phaahla.

With job and tender fraud running rampant within the Ba-Phalaborwa area, the municipality has released a statement to warn residents to be extra vigilant against criminals who are promising people bogus municipal tenders in exchange for bribes.

The municipality has advertised multiple tenders on their website, however, according to them there are criminals who are taking advantage of the advertised tenders and calling potential bidders promising them municipal tenders in exchange of money.

This is not the first time a person died on the same stretch of road. In 2019, a Swiss tourist died after speeding taxi hit a giraffe and it landed on another vehicle, killing the driver.

Also, earlier this year another vehicle, a Toyota Fortuner, was involved in accident on the same road. The Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment, Barbara Creecy, extended her heartfelt condolences to the family and colleagues upon being informed of the tragic accident.

The acting CEO of SANParks, Luthando Dziba, added his deepest sympathy to the family and the SANParks colleagues who sadly lost one of their own.

The Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality’s Mayor, Merriam Malatji, said that the municipal tenders are not for sale and municipal officials are not permitted to solicit any payment from potential tenderers.

The municipality also advised bidders who are being promised tenders in exchange for money to report these people to the relevant law enforcement authorities. ***Editor’s Comments *** Ironic.

There are many plans, but among those would be the construction of a smaller barnyard-type venue at the Old Packhouse, and the expansion of the Warriors Academy facilities. The furniture, memorabilia and other valuable items that were in the theatre were removed by the college.”

Regarding the labour employed thus far, Viljoen said at times up to 40 people helped with the dismantling of the Barnyard. Given about eight working hours per day multiplied by ten days, roughly 3 200 hours were spent to safely take down the theatre.

No emergency alarm system at dam wall ■ Joe Dreyer On Tuesday this week Bulletin took a tour through the belly of the Tzaneen Dam Wall. The gallery as it is called, is a very narrow tunnel that cuts through the inside base of the wall and contains within it several instruments used to monitor water levels, water pressure, movement, and potential threats. The gallery stretches 200m through the Tzaneen dam wall at a depth of approximately 27 metres. Every dam in the world has a gallery and it forms a vital part of the operations and more importantly, safety, of the dam.

Tzaneen’s gallery is different. It has no power throughout the entire stretch of the tunnel and so maintenance workers use powerful torches to see where they are heading. This is not only dangerous for the workers because of the slippery surfaces down in the pitchblack darkness, but also means that the emergency system which includes an alarm, is not operational. The alarm is supposed to sound the moment that the water level inside the gallery rises to a certain level. At Tzaneen dam, this cannot currently happen which means that the entire tunnel can flood without warning. Currently the workers employ a generator in the event of the tunnel flooding.

Whilst walking through the tunnel it was noticeable that all the light fittings against the walls had been, at some point, covered under water, which is why they are all blown out. Turns out that this tunnel did in fact flood completely sometime last year, presumably because of the heavy rainfall experienced in the region. Thankfully nobody was in that tunnel when this happened.

We contacted the provincial spokesperson for the Department of Water and Sanitation, Ngwako Mphago who referred us to Felix Motiba who is based at the Construction North offices at the DWS in Tzaneen. He in turn referred us to Solomon Thanstha who works in the DWS Operations and Maintenance division and who was supposedly the right person to answer our questions.

We have tried several times to reach Thanstha on both the numbers provided, but at the time of going to print we were unsuccessful. Neither the regional nor provincial spokespeople were able to assist either. What we desperately need answered is how long there has not been power down in the gallery, how safe is that area without the emergency alarm system in working order and why this has not been placed on the list of priorities at the dam wall. This is a developing story and we will follow up on the matter.

End of Home Affairs line ■ Billy Sibuyi The Department of Home Affairs announced a new appointment system in a bid to reduce the excessive queueing and corruption within their department, on Tuesday morning, 31st of August. In a presentation in parliament, the department said the system was finalised and will be deployed in selected offices in the current financial year.

This was something that the DA welcomed as they have been calling on the department to introduce such a system as they believed that it would address the long queues and protect people from losing a whole day of work to attend to this admin.

The system is integrated with the national population register to allow clients to use their ID number to book an appointment. This according to the department will prevent agents illegally operating in

home affairs offices from blocking slots to sell them on. The system will be on mobiles as an application that will allow Limpopians to enter their user details and schedule appointments with home affairs.

“It will also protect communities from potential corruption. The DA has received complaints that at some Home Affairs offices people are forced to pay R100 per time slot or to skip the queue,” stated the DA. The DA also said that it had been advised that the new appointment system will be available in all South African languages and could be accessed virtually. “Walk-ins will still be accommodated”.

“This is certainly a step in the right direction of addressing the frustration people have with the Department of Home Affairs and the DA will monitor the implementation of the appointment system closely,” said the member of parliament, Angel Khanyile.

Words will surely harm ■ Billy Sibuyi

Another person was sentenced by the Phalaborwa Magistrate Court last week Thursday, 26th of August, for their verbal abuse against union representatives in May last year. The magistrate court imposed a fine of R20 000 or one year imprisonment upon Nico Adolph Kellermann (57) for calling his colleagues and other patrons ‘uneducable baboons’ when they had attempted to raise wage demands with him.

According to the police, the sentence comes after an incident that occurred on 7th of May in 2020, where Kellermann was on duty at Foskor Mine when he had an argument with some Labour Union Representatives and the argument escalated to the point where Kellermann belittled the representees

and said they were uneducated animals.

“Police were notified and a case of crimen injuria was ultimately opened and assigned to the dedicated Det WO Nakampe Snyman Malatji,” stated the Phalaborwa Police Spokesperson, Sgt Elvis Mongwe.

However, half of the sentence was suspended for five years on condition that the convicted does not commit a similar offence. Thus, Kellermann was ordered to pay R10 000, or six months imprisonment on Thursday for his verbal abuse against the union representatives and his colleagues.

This is not the first time this court has handed down a sentence for crimen injuria as it had done so a couple of years ago, when it sentenced a former Foskor employee, Sandy Shipman, then 58, to a similar sentence of R10 000 or the option of six months’ imprisonment.

IN THE CHAIR WITH DR RUAN RADEMEYER

Dental Cavity What is a Dental Cavity and how do I know if I have one?

Dental cavities are permanently damaged areas on the surfaces of our teeth that develop into openings or holes. It is also called tooth decay or caries. Cavities are caused by several factors inside the mouth including bacteria, frequent snacking, eating or drinking sugary substances and poor oral hygiene. It is one of the world’s most common health problems especially in children, teenagers and older adults.

It is important to note that cavities cannot heal by themselves and if left untreated spread into the deeper layers of the tooth, affecting the nerve and blood supply causing infection and abscess formation.

The signs and symptoms of cavities vary largely depending on the depth of the decay and also the location. It is important to note that small cavities may have no symptoms at all and that it is only as the decay gets larger and deeper into the tooth structure that the following symptoms may appear: • Spontaneous toothache that occurs without any cause

• Tooth Hypersensitivity • Pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold • Visible holes or spots on your teeth • Brown, black or white staining on the surfaces of the teeth • Pain when you bite on a specific tooth The following are risk factors for developing cavities • Foods and drinks with high sugar content that stick to the teeth such as toffees and candy • Frequent snacking and sipping on substances with a high sugar content • Bedtime feeding of infants with bottles filled with milk, formula and sugar containing liquids • Poor oral hygiene • Not getting enough fluoride • Patients with dry mouth due to medications or dehydration • Worn fillings • Heartburn and eating disorders It is so important that patients understand that the fact that they don’t have pain, discomfort or sensitivity, does not mean that they do not have cavities. This is also the

reason why most dentists advise patients to have a full check-up at least every 12 months.

If a cavity is still in the early stages of formation, it can be easily restored with a small white Resin Composite restoration (filling). If a cavity has reached the stage of sensitivity or pain, there is a high chance that the decay has spread into the nerve canal of the tooth. The only treatment option at this stage is either saving the tooth with a Root Canal Treatment or Extracting the offending tooth. It makes the treatment more complicated, more expensive and potentially more uncomfortable for the patient.

I want to urge everyone to make an attempt to visit your dentist at least once a year for a complete examination.

Remember, prevention is the best form of cure.

In our next insert we will discuss the complications of cavities that are left untreated.

CHoiCE welcomes much needed donation ■ Roelof de Jonge With the ever increasing cost of living going hand-in-hand with the pandemic, some charities are being flooded with calls for help from needy households. The CHoiCE Trust (Comprehensive Health Care) is one such NGO that relies on the community and businesses to support their initiatives to help provide for families in need.

Premjee’s, a local wholesaler, stepped forward to support this cause by donating various food items once a month over a period of seven months to CHoiCE. This week, on Wednesday the 25th of August, they donated the first load of food items. Overseeing the handing over of the donation was Premjee’s manager, Dilesh Mahwee, who said they regularly support such initiatives, but they don’t really seek publicity for their good deeds.

“Look, we do this because we feel we need to do something to help vulnerable families. But in the same sentence we hope to encourage other businesses within our community to also come out and assist such organisations. This donation is not about the financial amount involved, but rather the gesture to reach out to vulnerable families and being able to help.”

Can you lead the Wolfpack?

■ Joe Dreyer

Runners from across the region are pumped for the inaugural Warriors Wolfpack Marathon set to take to the tar on the 18th of September. Though the initial entries were somewhat slow due to the online registration process hampering most of the rural running clubs from entering, the organizers have found a way around this by opening the field to manual entries as of this weekend.

Runners who wish to enter for the Wolfpack, can do so by visiting the Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre on Sunday morning, the 5th of September from 10:00 in the parking lot. Entry forms will be available from the team under the gazebo who will gladly assist you. Please be sure to bring along all the necessary documents and your entry fee for the race distance you wish to enter.

The entry fee for the 42.2km race is only R329.25, for the 32km it is R275.80, for the 21km the fee is R222.35 and for the 10 kilometre race it will be only R104.90. Entry fees include Registration and time keeping

by Peak Timing. There will be waterpoints scattered across the beautiful, yet challenging course which will see runners circumvent the Tza-

neen dam.

“To be able to run, actually get out there and feel the wind in your face and the tar under your feet is something our local runners have been deprived of for so many months, because of the lockdown regulations. It really is no wonder that the event has been received with so much excitement!” said Tracey van den Dool, Warriors Wolfpack Marathon race director.

“Virtual racing just is not the same.

Most of these athletes were forced to run the Comrades on their balcony for crying out loud. Now they can finally run to their hearts’ content. So we invite all of you to come and enter for the race this weekend.”

According to van den Dool, the 42.2 kilometre event is recognized as a qualifier for the Two Oceans mar-

athon which should be a good incentive for the local runners.

There are currently 10 waterpoints still available for companies wanting to participate.

Businesses who wish to become involved in the sponsoring of waterpoints can stop by at the Tzaneen Lifestyle Centre and make the necessary arrangements, or they can contact van den Dool directly on 083 968 0902. All the water for the waterpoints will be supplied free of charge and businesses will only be required to provide add-ons such as energy jellies, or even baked potatoes depending on where the waterpoint is situated and for which race.

For further information please visit the Bulletin Facebook page or like the Warriors Wolfpack Marathon 4-in1 Facebook page. Medals and prize monies are up for grabs along with some exciting giveaways for the top runners.

wedstryd met vier paaltjies staande te wen.

Met die kolf het die Plasies-kolwers Willem Schutte en Zayed Moosa elke 20 lopies aangeteken. Luka Heinlein en Cashan Jacobs het met hul boulwerk vir Merensky uitgeblink deur elk twee paaltjies te neem.

Hierdag Saterdag, die 4de September, gaan Merensky se eerste- en o/15-spanne teen die 11-talle van Stanford Lake College (SLC) in aksie wees. Die eerstespanne speel wat na wat verneem word op die krieketovaal van SLC met die o/15-spanne wat mekaar op die kolfblad van Merensky gaan aanvat.

Die afgelope Saterdag, die 28ste Augustus, het die eerste en o/15-krieketspanne van die Hoërskool Merensky vir hul volgende rondte wedstryde van die Limpopo Skole Super Liga teen die spanne van die Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) slag gebied.

Merensky se spanne het in die vorige naweek in hul eerste wedstryde van hierdie liga die twee 11-talle van die Hoërskool Frans du Toit (Fransies) ‘n krieketles geleer. Die senior en junior PHS krieketspelers is egter gedugter teenstanders en ondanks die veggees van Merensky se spanne, het PHS steeds die botoon gevoer.

Die eerstespan van Merensky het getoer na Polokwane vir hul veldslag. Die o/15-span het PHS op Plasieland se krieket-ovaal aangevat.

Die eerstespan van PHS het die teiken gestel vir die besoekers om na te jaag. Merensky knikker al die kolwers uit vir 149 lopies. In die Plasies se kolfbeurt verhoed die venynige boulwerk van PHS sowel as hul veldwerk om die teiken verby te steek.

Die span van PHS boender die Merensky-kolwers uit met 94 op die telbord om die wedstryd met 55 lopies te beklink.

Met die kolf vir Merensky was dit Henro Delport en Don Hunter wie elk 24 lopies aangeteken het.

Maan Mistry en Nic Adendorff het in Merensky se boulbeurt elk drie paaltjies laat kantel.

In die o/15 Super Liga wedstryd het die span van Merensky eerste gekolf waar hulle ‘n 100 lopies vir die verlies van 10 paaltjies aangeteken Timothy Baker kolf vir Merensky met PHS se Nicolas Oerlemans en paaltjiewagter Divan Brown wat druk toepas op die kolwer. het. PHS het in sy kolfbeurt 101/6 behaal om die
