Mediclinic kry vierde teater Bouwerk om Mediclinic Tzaneen se vierde teater teen die einde van Julie in gebruik te neem, het dié week begin. Die haas onbekende groei van die hospitaal en die hoeveelheid spesialiste in die dorp noodsaak ‘n vierde teater. Die voorsitter van die hospitaal se direksie, dr Ig J van Rensburg, sê “ons kon dit nie langer uitstel nie — die dokters staan behoorlik tou om plek op die teaterlyste te kry”. Die jongste uitbreiding kom op die vooraand van ‘n verdere aankondiging oor uitbreiding van die hospitaal. Die terrein is Dinsdag aan die bouer (Ansaki Con-

Op die foto hiernaas is mnre André van der Merwe van Graceland Architects, Karel Osmers van Ansaki Construction, Ig Foordt, ook van Graceland, Zane Fanie, die hospitaal se hoof- uitvoerende beampte, dr Ig van Rensburg en mnr Billy Teague, Mediclinic SA se projekbestuurder. Goeie diens, ‘n groep goeie algemene praktisyns, ‘n korps goeie spesialiste en gesonde bestuurpraktyke (verskoon die woordspeling) dra by tot die gewildheid en fenomenale groei van die Mediclinic Tzaneen.
We need water
Muhlava Cross and Sasekani residents (between Nkowankowa and Lenyenye) staged a protest and barricaded the main road between Tzaneen and Lenyenye, to air their frustations about the shortage of water in the area. Almost at the same time the Mopani District Municipality held meetings throughout the district, to discus the IDP budget for the new financial year. It was interesting to observe how members of the public who attended the meetings expressed their concern about water — with electricity now having become their second priority.

Good news. Brig Thomas Shingange has been promoted to the SAPS’s Tzaneen Cluster Commander. He replaces Maj Gen Maggy Mathebula who has been transferred to the Limpopo SAPS Head Office in Polokwane. Shingange was the Officer Commandig of the Tzaneen Police, before being transferred to Polokwane as OC. He is a much respected officer, since he is a no-nonsense policeman who goes by the book in executing his duties. Thugs should take notice that he plans to clamp down on lawlessness in the area and he will not tolerate any form of criminal activity or any corruption by SAPS members.
The news that Ms Conny Mametja has been suspended as municipal manager of Polokwane, has been received with disbelief by Tzaneen residents. Three of her directors have also been notified of anticipated action against them. The MM of the Capricorn District Municipality has also resigned and it is said that he was “pushed” out. Mr Tim Maake, Mopani’s MM has been suspended and the GTM’s MM, Mr Mathye Mankabidi, has been given a golden handshake. We have information from a reliable source that more suspensions may follow. It is said that Tzaneen could also be in for a shock. Mametja was deployed in Tzaneen’s after the recusal of Mr Mabakane Mangena. She was popular for getting involved in community matters and trying hard to clean up the town. The photo right shows her on an inspection of the river area in Tzaneen.
