Action taken: Poor governance will not 'be tolerated' STANDERTON: Deputy Finance Minister David Masondo says a groundbreaking decision by the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to place Standerton’s failing Lekwa Municipality under administration, comes with "valuable lessons" for the government.

Masondo’s statement came in an address to the Mpumalanga municipality’s former council members, who have been relieved of their duties. The municipality was placed under administration after the High Court’s order in April. The court order brings the battle between Lekwa and South Africa’s biggest poultry producer, Astral Foods, to an end.

JSE-listed Astral took legal action against the provincial and national government in 2018 to compel it to repair Standerton’s infrastructure.

The poultry producer is Standerton’s biggest employer and produces the Goldi Chicken brand at the local plant. It also owns the Festive, Mountain Valley, and County Fair chicken brands and hatchery and feed businesses. But service delivery issues in Standerton, including repairs to its road riddled with potholes, waste removal, and sanitation services have come to a standstill.

And the biggest issue the town’s people share with Astral is regular electricity and water cuts. The power cuts have cost Astral R39 million over a five-year period and the plant, which churns out almost 3.2 million

chickens a week, has had to invest in a reverse osmosis water treatment facility for its water supply, which cost the company R50 million. In his address, Masondo said there are 39 municipalities in dire straits like Lekwa, which had failed in their constitutional and developmental mandate, 25 years into the new local government dispensation. He added that he was confident that the order, which is the first of its kind to be handed down to the national government, would not be the last. "The events in this municipality will in all likelihood blaze a trail for other communities that have had their fair share of poor service delivery and general municipal ineptness," he said. He said there are 163 additional municipalities in financial distress, while 108 have passed unfunded budgets for the 2020/21 financial year. This means that they expect to experience cash flow issues in that year. "To deal with the envisaged scale and depth of this problem, it is vital that national government sends a clear and unambiguous message that poor leadership undermines the proper functioning of our municipalities, be it at the political level or the administrative level, will no longer be tolerated nor condoned," Masondo said. The deputy finance minister also said that the court’s order came with lessons for the government which include that courts will be

the point of recourse for communities and provinces that have been ignored by their municipalities. Another lesson for the government is that political and administrative leadership is key to creating efficient municipalities. "If we are serious about fixing a financial and service delivery crisis, we need to first fix the political and administrative leadership crisis," Masondo said. Last month (May 2021), Cabinet dissolved Lekwa’s municipal council and relieved the councillors of their duties, while its by-elections have been put on hold. The government has since appointed former Nelson Mandela Bay Metro city manager Johann Mettler as Lekwa’s administrator. Astral’s commercial managing director Frans van Heerden said the poultry producer welcomed the court’s decision.

Meanwhile, Standerton's residents continue to live in tough conditions with Lekwa Community Forum and Lekwa Ratepayers’ Association member Sello Tsotetsi saying some community members have stopped taking chronic medication and families don’t have water to flush toilets or cook. Tsotetsi added that small businesses like cafés and car washes have lost revenue, while Covid19, typhoid, and cholera continue to be a threat for the residents. He called for the immediate scrapping of Lekwa's power cuts and the revival of the town's economy.

The new senior AfriForum spring in tydens appointments Standerton se water-krisis at Lekwa might turn the tables STANDERTON: The administrator of the Lekwa Municipality issued a notice a short while ago about the appointment of two senior officials. Mr Jonny Mosweu Mokgatsi has been assigned as acting municipal manager and Dr Louis Scheepers as the acting executive manager of corporate services. It took affect effect on 18 June 2021 and will run until 18 December 2021. Mr Johann Mettler welcomed these appointments which he believes will help a great deal in turning the municipality around.

STANDERTON: AfriForum se Standerton-tak en -buurtwag het tussen 16 en 18 Junie 2021 meer as 50 000-liter water aan dié dorp se inwoners voorsien. Hierdie watervoorsieningsprojek is in samewerking met Kasselman Veiligheidsdienste, die Hoërskool

Standerton, Northern Light Foundation, die A.G.S. Kerk Ekklesia, Ons Radio, Lekwa Cleanup Crew, Tonkin Boerdery, Clear Water en Heymans Kole (Pty) Ltd van stapel gestuur. Dít volg… (vervolg op Bladsy 8)

…volg nadat inwoners twee dae lank sonder water moes klaarkom en gevolglik die AfriForum-tak en ander rolspelers om hulp genader het.

Die oorsprong van die waterprobleem is ’n gebarste hoofpyplyn wat water na die dorp voer.

Volgens Pieter Botha, voorsitter van AfriForum se Standerton-tak, sal dié organisasie die gemeenskap bystaan en voortgaan om water te voorsien. “Ons het ’n waterpunt in Standerton opgerig en het waterkanne gebruik om water na inwoners te vervoer – veral na inwoners wat nie hul eie vervoer het nie of nie baie ver kan reis om water te kry nie.” Volgens Bronwen Pretorius, AfriForum se distrikskoördineerder vir (from page 6)

die Hoëveld, stel die tak ’n goeie voorbeeld met betrekking tot hoe die gemeenskap mekaar in tye van nood kan bystaan.

“Dit is goed om te sien hoe AfriForum-takke die kapasiteit skep om mekaar te ondersteun.”

AfriForum moedig gemeenskapslede aan om by die projek betrokke te raak. “Ons vra dat almal met toegang tot boorgate ons asseblief in kennis sal stel sodat ons mense sonder enige toegang tot water kan help. Ons sal saamstaan sodat hierdie probleem ons nie onderkry nie,” sê André Pienaar, leier van AfriForum se Standerton-buurtwag.

Uit die hart van Eva

IEC: We don't yet know if upcoming local elections will be free and fair The IEC made the submission at the inquiry into ensuring free and fair local government elections during COVID-19.

The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) on Monday said it had not yet made a decision on whether the local government elections would be free and fair. The IEC made the submission at the inquiry into ensuring free and fair local government elections during COVID-19.

The inquiry, headed by former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, kicked off on Monday in Johannesburg and will this week hear arguments for and against the postponement of the October local polls.

IEC chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo made the first oral submission as the inquiry kicked off. He said the inquiry was established after concerns about the elections were raised by political parties. “Concerns have been expressed by some parties that the elections this year may not be free and fair given the impact of COVID-19 as well as the measures government has undertaken to curb the spread of the pandemic.” As far as the fairness of the elections was concerned, Mamabolo said the jury was still out. “No such decision has been reached at this point on the side of the commission. We are eagerly awaiting the final report.”

Hoe vier jy jou feesmaal?

Ek word gevra om vir die Rekord te skryf. My vraag was natuurlik eerste waaroor moet ek skryf? Enige iets is die antwoord. Sommer net jou waarnemings en ondervindings. Ek herkou aan die gedagte. Dae sluimer verby en my kop voel leeg!

Goed wat hier rond gebeur is so allerdaags. ‘n Pap wiel as jy laat is, vuil baba doeke en ‘n geyser wat die gees gee. Dit tref my mos sò is die lewe dan ook! Dit is soos ‘n feesmaal! Jy kan aansit en dit vier of jy kan die geleentheid laat verby gaan.

Ek word soms stil en luister na ander om my en kry skaam want ons klink eenders! Ons het ‘n kultuur geskep waar negatiwiteit seëvier. Ons gebreekte woorde strooi ons in die wind en plant so die saadjies weer voort waar dit gunstigheid vind in ‘n ander se mond. Sommer ‘n mens gemaakte ding. Ons kan kla, skop en kerm of ons kan oudag stoepstories versamel waarmee jy jou dae kan vul. Die lekkertes van onthou en die voorreg van keuses! Dit laat my dink aan die gesegde: “Some men die and have never lived!” Lees dit weer en dink gerus oor die waarheid. Is ons nie so besig om te kla en te kerm dat die lewe ons eintlik verby gaan nie? Ons verleer om die humor in situasies raak te sien. Ons dink ‘n ideale lewe is waar alles net voor die wind gaan. Hoe wonderlik vervelig sou dit nie wees nie? Ek persoonlik leef vir die ‘Aha’ oomblikke van die lewe. Die waar jy ‘n nuwe ontdekking maak van iets nuuts wat jy nooit geweet het bestaan nie of nòg beter as jy ‘n nuwe faset ontdek van jou menswees. As groei plaasvind! Dit is wat met elkeen van ons gebeur elke dag oral.

Ons groei. Ons word wyser en leer uit ons foute. Nee, die lewe is ‘n feesmaal! Dit is ‘n kind se arms om jou nek. ‘n Pap band op die onmoontlikste tyd. Die vooruitsig van nuwe seisoene in die natuur en ook ons lewe. Geliefdes wat jou dra as dit soms voel of die lewe jou platslaan. ‘n Ou vriendin wat onverwags bel. Die kuier om ‘n vuur en ja selfs ‘n geyser wat bars! Die lewe deel mos maar aan ons almal uit. Soms goed en soms sleg máár jou geluk sal bepaal word deur jou gesindheid. Nou wonder ek.

Hoe vier jy jou feesmaal? - Hannetjie Brooks

Heuningdruppels “Waarom is julle so verskrik en waarom kom daar twyfel in julle harte?” (Luk. 24:38) ’n Twee-in-eenvraag wat Jesus vra. Dit laat my dink dat die antwoorde op dié twee vrae onderling afhanklik is van mekaar. As jy bang en verskrik, bekommerd en angstig, bevrees en onrustig is, is die rede dalk omdat jy twyfel aan die Here se beloftes van voorsiening en beskerming en hulp, omdat die geloof en hoop in jou hart opgeraak het of doodgedruk is deur jou vrees. Aan die ander kant: as daar twyfel in jou hart is en jy nie meer die Here kan raaksien in jou lewe nie, as jy nie glo dat Hy in beheer is en alles ten goede sal laat meewerk nie, gaan bekommernis en vrees jou gedagtes oorheers en jou angstigheid buite beheer raak. As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “waarom is jy so verskrik?”, dan mag en kan en moet jy al jou bekommernisse by Hom kom afpak.

“Werp al julle bekommernisse op Hom, want Hy sorg vir julle.” (1 Pet. 5:7) As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “Waarom is jy so verskrik?”, hoor dan terselfdertyd sy oop uitnodiging wat sê: “Kom na My toe, almal wat uitgeput en oorlaai is en Ek sal julle rus gee.” (Matt. 11:28) As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “Waarom kom daar twyfel in jou hart?”, hoop ek jy sal die twyfel kan uitdoof en met geloof en vertroue sê: “Die Here is my helper, ek ken geen vrees nie.” (Heb. 13:6) ~ Wilna Botha

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, the hallmark of which is recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Many people with epilepsy have more than one type of seizure and may have other symptoms of neurological problems as well.

Sometimes EEG testing, clinical history, family history and outlook are similar among a group of people with epilepsy. In these situations, their condition can be defined as a specific epilepsy syndrome.

The human brain is the source of human epilepsy.

Although the symptoms of a seizure may affect any

part of the body, the electrical events that produce the symptoms occur in the brain. The location of that event, how it spreads and how much of the brain is affected, and how long it lasts all have profound effects. These factors determine the character of a seizure and its impact on the individual.

Having seizures and epilepsy also can also affect one's safety, relationships, work, driving and so much more. How epilepsy is perceived or how people are treated (stigma) often is a bigger problem than the seizures. A person is

diagnosed with epilepsy if they have one or more seizures that were not caused by some known and reversible medical condition like alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but often the cause is completely unknown. The word "epilepsy" does not indicate anything about the cause of the person's seizures or their severity.

BETWEEN 4 AND 10 OUT OF 1,000: Number of people on earth who live with active seizures at any one time.

Lag ‘n bietjie

Klitsgras

Klein Jannie moet die lantern vashou terwyl sy pa sy ma help kraam, donkiejare terug. Baba no 1 kom uit, en Jannie is verheug. ‘n Tweelingsussie kom uit en Jannie is stomgeslaan. Toe die pa die derde een uithaal, sê Jannie: Ek gaan nou die lantern doodblaas.

Die goed kom agter die lig aan!

Klitsie het nou al van baie skelmstreke gehoor maar die een vat die koek letterlik.

Tannie se man is 'n rukkie terug oorlede.

Tannie is glad nie 'n spring chicken nie en die eensaamheid werk ook nie so lekker nie.

Tannie is baie betrokke by die community en so ook by die gesin waar 'n pragtige jong adonis, 6 pack, bruin gebrande bene, bonsmara bul boude, grasgroen oë en spiere wat soos die Vrystaatse berge bult ook bly.

Kom ons noem hom Jannie. Jannie is baie dankbaar dat Tannie die familie in nood so gewillig uithelp met kospakkies, vleis en klere. “Kan ek Tannie se nommer kry?”

Tannie gee heel onskuldig die nommer en bied aan haar deur staan enige tyd oop as Jannie oor iets wil kom praat. Halfuur later kry Tannie 'n whatsApp en gelukkig het die nie bestuur nie anders het sy die ou bakkie gerol... 'n Pragtige half naked fototjie met die mooiste boodskappie. En toe weer en weer en later voel Tannie weer soos die mooiste meisie in dorp. Die chats raak langer die foto's het minder klere aan die koffie by tannie al hoe intressanter. Jannie is 43 jaar jonger as Tannie... Maar ouderdom is mos

‘n Blondine van ‘n klein plattelandse dorpie gaan stap ‘n entjie. In die bos sien sy verbaas ‘n valskermspringer wat in hoe bome vassit. ‘Help,’ roep hy toe hy haar sien. ‘Wat maak jy daar?’ vra sy vir hom. ‘Ek was besig met ‘n vryval, maar my valskerm het nie oopgemaak nie,’ antwoord hy. Sy rol haar oë. ‘Natuurlik het dit nie’, vervolg sy, ‘Jy kon enige van die plaaslike mense gevra het. Niks maak hier op ‘n Sondag oop nie.’

net 'n nommer en die skelm liefde blom behoorlik. Jannie wil nie meer net kom koffie drink nie hy wil kom oorslaap en liefde maak.

Of Tannie enigsins getwyfel het weet Klitsie nie maar die volgende aand het onse Adonis met die mooiste lippe die tannie se wêreld behoorlik gerock...

Soveel so toe Tannie die volgende oggend wakker word is Jannie al weg. En sommer met die Tannie se hele sitkamer stel matte en al ook. Tannie dink daar's ingebreek.

Jannie antwoord nie en Tannie panic. Jaag met 'n spoed na Jannie se huis toe. En toe skrik Tannie... Jannie en family het soos mis voor die son verdwyn... die huis is leeg.

Jannie het tannie 'n aand wat sy nooit sal vergeet nie belowe en sy het dit gekry. Sy moes nooit daai koppie koffie na die tyd gedrink het nie! Tannie te skaam om te deel dat sy met 'n slap (of stywe?) riem gevang is weier om enige iets verder te doen as om 'n nuwe sitkamerstel en TV by Lewis te loop staan koop... Ergste die hele familie is in op dit wat Jannie doen! Klitsie kan nie help om te wonder waar Jannie nou is nie en wie meubels moet gaan koop nie...
