Joint venture of two schools to better sports facilities in Diamond City
Future yields cultivated
HELENA BARNARD
A recent soil-turning event in Kimberley symbolises the development of phase one of a joint venture between the Kimberley Boys’ High School (KHS) and the Diamantveld High School (DHS).
This development, with the construction of a hockey astro-turf as part of the first phase, will lead to the establishment of what is called a “world-class sports facility”.
At the soil-turning event on Friday, 28 February, on the Notcutt Field of the KHS, it was emphasised that this facility will aid the development of sport amongst talented learners in the entire Northern Cape, becoming a major sports hub.
This joint venture by the two schools, through the Kimberley Community Development non-profit company (NPC), aims to develop a variety of sports facilities.
Apart from the hockey astro-turf, it envisages fields for rugby, cricket and soccer, a dugout, changing rooms, parking area, swimming pool, as well as squash and indoor courts.
Oloff Bergh, head of operations and of sport at the DHS, says Diamantveld wanted to build a hockey astro-turf for many years, but could not find the perfect location when investigating options. It was then realised that the neighbouring KHS was the perfect option.
Both schools, with the KHS established in 1887 and the DHS in 1935, have played a huge role in the development of youth in the area and in the province. Together they aim to continue bettering opportunities for youths.
Previously, the two schools have hosted, amongst others, the national Absa Wildeklawer Schools Sport Tournament, the Kovsie Sports Weekend, the Diamantveld Cricket Festival, the annual KHS Founders Marathon, and the Kay Motsepe Soccer Tournament.
Speaking at the soil-turning event, Dianna Martin of the Northern Cape Economic Development, Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Nceda) commented that sport tourism was growing, and was officially recognised as such. She said Kimberley and the Northern Cape could aim to host more national sports events, and even attract teams from the African continent, and also internationally.
This alligns with the Kimberley Community Development’s vision that the facility will attract national and international visitors, boosting the city’s economy.
The construction of the hockey astro-turf is done by TurfTech. Its delivery is expected to be in May.

Uitspraak eersdaags
CHARNÉ KEMP
Die staat het op Maandag 3 Maart in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley, in sy derde plaasmoord-hofsitting in die afgelope twee weke, aangevoer drie van die vier aangeklaagdes wat van die moorde op Dan en Breggie Brand en hul dogter, Elzabie Brand, op 26 Julie 2020 verdink word, aan moord skuldig bevind moet word.
Hoewel die staat net omstandigheidsgetuienis het, is die enigste moontlike redelike afleiding dat dié aangeklaagdes die Brands die Sondagmiddag van hul kleinhoewe buite Hartswater aangeval, ontvoer, vermoor en hul lyke versteek het.
Donald Seoleseng (21) en Tshepo Visagie (36), albei van Majaneng; Kgomotso Mpulwana (43) van Rooiwal; en Tsepaone Melato (20) van Pudimoe word elk van drie aanklagte van moord, roof met verswarende omstandighede, ontvoering en regsverydeling aangekla. Seoleseng word ook van ontsnapping aangekla, en Visagie dat hy ’n skootrekenaar en selfoon verpand het wat aan die oorledenes behoort het.
Realeboga Manyedi, halfbroer van Visagie, het later ’n staatsgetuie geword.
Adv. Adele van Heerden, aanklaer, het in haar slotbetoë
aangevoer al vier is in besit van gesteelde selfone, twee skootrekenaars en ’n handsak met persoonlike items van die oorledenes gevind.
Dan se rooi Nissan Micra en Elzabie se silwer Mazda is ook gesteel. Die polisie het die aangeklaagdes op die aand van 27 Julie in die Mazda aangekeer. Die mans hou vol hulle was op ’n jagtog toe hulle op die motors in die veld afgekom het. Hulle het nie naby die Nissan gegaan nie, en wou net die Mazda, selfone en skootrekenaars verkoop. Mpulwana, in wie se besit een van die Brands se selfone en in wie se huis die gesteelde persoonlike items gevind is, ontken alle aanklagte teen haar. Van Heerden voer aan daar is genoegsame getuienis oor die Nissan se pap wiel wat hulle wou omruil en van
Manyedi wat bewys die beskuldigdes was in besit van die Nissan. Die Brands het omstreeks 12:00 telefonies met familielede gesels. Hulle is om 13:00 ontvoer en vasgebind, en teen 15:00 was hul lyke reeds in die veld gegooi – die tyd toe die staatsgetuie gevra is om te help om die lyke te versteek. Die staat gee toe dat hy nie kan bewys Mpulwana het soos die drie mans met ’n gemeenskaplike doel aan die moorde deelgeneem nie, maar sy kan aan roof met verswarende omstandighede skuldig bevind word. Tydens haar inhegtenisname is ’n selfoon by Mpulwana gevind waarop foto’s van haar, en die Brand-gesin, was. Getuienis toon ook Mpulwana wou die Mazda verkoop. Regter Cordelia Kgopa sal na verwagting hierdie week uitspraak lewer.
‘G’n berou by
CHARNÉ KEMP
Een van die mans wat Piet Els (86), bekende sakeman, en sy vriendin in Januarie 2018 op Els se plaas buite Kimberley aangeval het, toon geen berou vir sy vorige veroordelings nie, en ook nie vir sy aandeel in die opspraakwekkende Els-moord nie.
Só het adv. Hannes Cloete, aanklaer, op Maandag 3 Maart in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley in kruisondervraging aangevoer in die voorvonnisverhoor van die sewe veroordeeldes.
Els (86), bekend in diamantkringe, en sy vriendin (toe 68) is op 24 Januarie 2018 deur vier mans in sy slaapkamer gemartel en aangerand. Els is 111 dae later aan sy beserings oorlede. Die vriendin het oorleef.
Die skuldiges is: Morapeli Rankali (28) en Motlalentwa Qhautse (37) van Lesotho; Lizbeth Ndlala (56) en haar man, Themba Lawrence Maja (68), Oupa Jeffrey Mahomane (44), almal van Pienaar in Mpumalanga; Samson Sam Mbokane (63) van Mbombela in Mpumalanga; en Jabulani Zuma (62) van Mtubatuba, KwaZulu-Natal.
Regter Lawrence Lever het vroeër vir Rankali aan diefstal; Qhautse en Mahomane aan huisbraak en roof met gewelddadige omstandighede, seksuele aanranding en moord; en Ndlala, Maja, Mbokane en Zuma aan roof met gewelddadige omstandighede skuldig bevind.
Die regter het bevind hulle weergawes en getuienis is oneerlik, ontwykend, teenstrydig en hoogs onwaarskynlik. Die oorlewende slagoffer se getuienis, selfoongetuienis, skoenafdrukke wat met spore op die toneel ooreenstem en teenstrydige verklarings en ander getuienis het hul doppie geklink.
Die staat het vroeër aangevoer drie verskillende groepe mense het saamgesweer en elkeen ’n spesifieke rol gespeel. Zuma het glo van KwaZulu-Natal na Mbombela gery om Mbokane, Ndlala en Maja, ook tradisionele
genesers, en hul makker Mahomane, op te laai. Vandaar het hulle na die opperbrein, Amos Ralihlare se huis in Galeshewe, Kimberley gery. Ralihlare het nog drie Sotho-sprekende mans gekry om die aanval saam met Mahomane uit te voer. Geld, selfone, ’n kamera, munte en kontant is gesteel en onder mekaar verdeel. Qhautse, wat ’n vonnis van tien jaar uitdien vir ’n rooftog in 2016 in Douglas, het Maandag ter strafversagting oor sy persoonlike omstandighede getuig. Hy het twee ander veroordelings erken. In 2014 is hy skuldig bevind op ’n aanklag van aanranding met die doel om ernstig te beseer in ’n voorval waarin hy iemand met ’n mes gesteek het. Cloete het dit egter aan hom gestel dat hy deur sy ontkenning van die Douglas-rooftog in 2016 (waarvoor hy steeds gevangenisstraf van tien jaar uitdien) en aandeel in die Elsmoordsaak geen berou vir sy dade toon nie. Hy het ’n geskiedenis van geweld.
“Ek is nie gewelddadig nie, dit is net wat my naam beteken,” het Qhautse geantwoord. Hoewel ’n vonnis van lewenslange gevangenisstraf hom in die gesig staar, versoek hy begenadiging. Die betoë om strafversagting en strafverswaring duur voort.
Geweldenaar in tronk
’n Man van Upington wat ’n derde keer ’n beskermingsbevel oortree het, is in Februarie in die hof in Upington tot sewe jaar direkte tronkstraf gevonnis.
Dié 51-jarige man en ’n 49-jarige vrou was in ’n saamwoonverhouding en het twee kinders. Weens ’n geskiedenis van gesinsgeweld het die slagoffer in Augustus 2019 ’n beskermingsbevel verkry wat die man verbied het om enige vorm van mishandeling te gebruik, hetsy verbaal, emosioneel of fisiek. In November 2024 het die man na die vrou se huis gegaan, aggressief geraak en haar verbaal mishandel. Die slagoffer het dit by die polisie aangemeld, waarna die man in hegtenis geneem is. Tydens ’n hofverskyning het hy skuldig gepleit, en is skuldig gevind. Bewyse is gelewer dat hy voorheen skuldig bevind is aan soortgelyke oortredings teen die vrou, waarvoor hy opgeskorte vonnisse ontvang het. Die staat het beklemtoon dat geslagsgeweld ’n voortdurende krisis is en dat vroue en kinders die reg het om sonder vrees of intimidasie te lewe.
The 62-year-old Zolile Joseph Kolomba has been sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment by the Kimberley Regional Court for damage to essential infrastructure and theft of ferrous or non-ferrous metals. He was arrested in January 2022 after his vehicle was stopped and searched. During the search copper cable was discovered on the back seat, as well as tools to cut it with. Kolomba could not provide a satisfactory explanation regarding the ownership of the cable and was arrested, says Sgt Merapelo Pilane, police spokesperson.

NC roots inspirational
As the 2025 Artist-in-Residence of the William Humphreys Art Gallery (Whag) in Kimberley, Ulric Namasun Roberts will create new works inspired by his ongoing exploration of heritage, identity and the landscape.
The residency of this Northern Cape-based visual artist commenced on 24 February, and includes public engagements, workshops and a solo exhibition at Whag – which will open on 27 March. This marks a significant milestone as Roberts’ first museum exhibition and the first of its kind in his home province.
“We are excited to see how his residency will inspire the community and the broader artistic landscape,” says Chepape Makgato, chief curator of Whag.
“His ability to weave together history, landscape, and personal identity makes him an invaluable addition to our Artist-in-Residence programme. This exhibition will be based on memory and walking, where Namasun pays homage to his late father who taught him many things. Namasun uses the concept of walking to connect to the ground and with those who came before him,” Chepape says.
Roberts’ work is deeply rooted in the cultural and natural landscape of Namaqualand, embodying a connection to heritage, storytelling, and the land.
Born in 1976, Roberts grew up in Macassar in the Western Cape before returning to Namaqualand in the early 2000s. His artistic journey began in childhood and was nurtured by his parents, leading him to formal training at the Andrew Owen School of Art in Somerset West, where he specialised in oil painting.
His expressive use of colour and texture draws inspiration from Vincent van Gogh’s expressionism, and his practice has been shaped by the mentorship of the renowned South African artist Dr Conrad Theys.
Roberts’ work is a celebration of Namaqualand’s striking landscapes, from its granite mountains and quiver trees to its
wildflowers and petroglyphs found along the Orange River. His signature incorporation of pointillism and orbs reflects both these natural elements and indigenous storytelling traditions. In his second solo exhibition he introduced himself as Namasun, a name that reflects his deep spiritual and artistic connection to his people and their histories.
Roberts has also played a key role in several community-based art initiatives, including the Kai Kai Mosaic Project in Port Nolloth, Steinkopf-Richtersveld Arts and Craft Project, and the Genadendal Women’s Day Artistic Workshop and Mural in collaboration with artist Sophie Peters. His work was also seen in several exhibitions and his paintings featured on the covers of publications.
Whag’s Artist-in-Residence programme provides a platform for artistic development and cultural exchange, fostering creativity and engagement between artists and the community.
) Art lovers, learners and other members of the public are invited to engage with his residency, taking place until 31 March. His exhibition will be on view until May.
‘Nuwe’
skool sit sonder krag
HELENA BARNARD
Weens ’n agterstallige munisipale diensterekening is die Nuwe Laerskool Wrenchville se elektrisiteitstoevoer meer as ’n maand gelede ontkoppel.
Teen Dinsdag 4 Maart was ’n kragopwekker steeds by die skool in gebruik om kantoor- en verwante administratiewe take te verrig terwyl die res van die skool daarsonder moet regkom, insluitend die lokaal waar rekenaarverwante klasse aangebied moet word.
Snags is die skool in donkerte gehul, en ’n inbraak het reeds plaasgevind.
Dié nuwe laerskool, wat in 2019 oopgemaak is, het glo ’n agterstallige munisipale diensterekening van nagenoeg R900 000.
Die redes waarom dié rekening agterstallig is, is talryk. Sedert die skool se opening in 2019 is die jaarlikse toelaag van die departement van onderwys in die ander laerskool in Wrenchville se bankrekening betaal omdat die nuwe laerskool nog nie ’n bankrekening gehad het nie. Ongeveer drie jaar gelede het die Nuwe Laerskool Wrenchville ’n bankrekening oopgemaak, en die ander skool in wie se rekening die toelaaggeld inbetaal is, het dit na die nuwe rekening oorgeplaas. Volgens ’n
Die elektriese drade is van die breker ontkoppel en uit die elektriese kas verwyder. Dié punte is nie lewendig nie omdat die sekerings by die transformator op die kragpaal oopgemaak is. Regs is rdl. Nottie Eilerd (van die DA in die John Taolo Gaetsewe-distriks-munisipaliteit en ’n inwoner van Wrenchville) by die skool. FOTO’S: VERSKAF
ingeligte persoon behoort daar na bewering ongeveer R400 000 in dié bankrekening te wees wat vir die diensterekening afgekamp is.
Die geld kan egter glo nie bekom word nie omdat alle betrokkenes van die skool en skoolbeheerliggaam (SBL) nie tekenreg op dié rekening by die bank het nie. Daar is ook bewerings dat daar nie geld in die rekening is nie.
Omdat die skool in ’n nuwe uitbreiding gebou is, moes diensterekeninge by die Ga-Segonyana- plaaslike munisipaliteit registreer word. Dit is nooit gedoen nie.
Nottie Eilerd, DA-raadslid in die John Taolo Gaetsewedistriksmunisipaliteit en ’n inwoner van Wrenchville, sê die mense van die skool se voedingskema maak gelukkig meesal van gas gebruik.
Die geldelike verknorsing
van die departement van onderwys het veroorsaak dat handboeke en geld vir die nasionale voedingskema nie betyds toegeken is nie en die skool kon op 17 Februarie die eerste keer kos aan die leerlinge verskaf.
Dié skool is in 2022 deur die gemeenskap toegemaak weens knelpunte met aanstelling van personeel in senior poste. Tweespalt heers glo ook onder die SBL en personeel onderling.
Geoffrey van der Merwe, woordvoerder van die NoordKaapse departement van onderwys, het bevestig dat die skool agterstallig is met sy diensterekening.
“Die departement is besig met ’n proses om geldelike bystand aan geïdentifiseerde skole met uitstaande munisipale diensterekeninge te verleen,” sê hy.

Driving off-road in the Northern Cape
Maria Wilman (1867-1957), in the driver’s seat, was appointed as the first director of the McGregor Museum in Kimberley on 1 March 1908, an appointment she held until 1947. She retired when she was 79 years old, but continued to work at the museum until 1953. Her two major publications, Rock engravings of Griqualand West and Bechuanaland (1933) and Preliminary Checklist of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of Griqualand West (1946), each would have entailed its share of exploration somewhat off the beaten track. Persuasive and often thinking outside the box, Wilman was known in her circle as “AuntieWhy-Don’t-You”. – McGregor Museum PHOTO: FACEBOOK/MCGREGOR MUSEUM

Veranderinge kan verbeteringe wees
Met die sekondewyser wat vasberade sy klein treetjies deur elke minuut en elke uur stap, stap die uitlating “the only constant is change,” saam. Soms is verandering glad nie aangenaam nie; dit maak seer, maak ongelukkig, of ruk ’n mens uit jou gemaksone en uit dit wat jy as sekuriteit beskou. Soms is die wind van verandering ’n verfrissende bries deur ’n mens se lewe, wat veroorsaak dat jy opnuut asem skep.
Daar is ook veranderinge wat ’n mens oor jouself bring, ten goede of ten slegte.
Met Wêreld-obesiteitsdag op 4 Maart was daar opnuut ’n oproep van talle gesondheidsorganisasies oor die wêreld heen om die groeiende obesiteitskrisis, wat aan al hoe meer siektetoestande gekoppel word, dringend aan te spreek. En, het navorsing bewys: Die grootste bydraende faktor tot obesiteit is leefstylkeuses en nie gene nie. Nog ’n verandering wat SuidAfrikaners oor hulself bring, is in die 2025-verslag van Reading
Panel 2030 verwoord. Dié paneel is in 2021 gestig om teen 2030 volledige leesgeletterdheid vir leerlinge in gr. 4 te behaal. Dit na aanleiding van die Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (Pirls) dat 81% van gr. 4leerlinge in die land nie met begrip kan lees nie. Volgens Reading Panel se nuutste verslag kan 80% van gr. 3-leerlinge nie in enige taal met begrip lees nie. Met kinders nog in die doeke, en wie se vingertjies reeds rats oor allerlei elektroniese toestelle flits, asook ouers wat nie ’n ander voorbeeld stel nie, het dr. Jaco Deacon, uitvoerende hoof van die Federasie van Beheerliggame van Suid-Afrikaanse Skole (Fedsas) raad in ’n artikel op Netwerk24. Hy reken dit is nie ’n tegnologieprobleem nie, eerder ’n ouerprobleem. Hy stel voor dat toestelle beter aangewend word om kinders van kleins af woordwys te maak.
Sien ouers kans om dié verandering mee te bring? Want dit sal beteken dat hulle hul eie toestelle moet neersit.
Kies só koers by lewe se kruispaaie
HANNES NOËTH
Daar kom tye in ons almal se lewe dat ons nie kan uitstel om sekere besluite te neem nie.
Eintlik bestaan ’n mens se hele lewe uit besluite. Van die oggend tot die aand.
Wanneer ’n mens nog klein is, neem jou ouers vir jou die besluite.
Hulle begelei en help terwyl jy jonk is, hulle ondersteun.
Namate ons groter word, besef ons dat ons soms duidelik verkeerd kies.
Die verkeerde keuse het vir ons gevolge.
Die gevolge is nie altyd lekker om te dra en te deurleef en dikwels om mee saam te leef nie.
Daarom is dit so ’n groot troos om te weet dat selfs ons verkeerde besluite vir ons ten goede meewerk.
’n Mens moet en kan dit glo.
Daar waar jy reg gekies het,
Wekroep ruk die hart
KARIN MULLER
Ons praat maklik van ons tyd op aarde wat min is en waardeer moet word. Terselfdertyd hardloop ons rond, skarrel om alles gedoen te kry.
Ons ry onlangs deur ons dorp en in die verbygaan ry ons verby drie groot ongelukke.
Die volgende oggend vertrek ons vroeg per motor vanaf die huis.
Ons dogter kuier vanaf ’n nabygeleë dorp en wil op ’n ander dorp ’n trourok gaan aanpas. Almal is opgewonde. By ’n verkeerslig in die hoofstraat wag ons geduldig. Die pad is stil.
Ek trek my skoene uit en skuif my waterbottel nader aan my – gereed vir die lang pad. Die volgende oomblik is daar
’n harde slag.
Dit neem ons ’n oomblik om te besef dat ’n motoris in ’n groot bakkie van agter in ons vasgery het.
Sy het ons glad nie gesien nie en geen poging aangewend om die ongeluk te vermy nie.
Die motordeur waar ek sit, wil nie oop nie.
Dit voel of ek nie asem kry nie.
Paniekerig kruip ek oor die sitplek en klouter by die ander deur uit.
Geskok loop ek kaalvoet tussendeur die glasstukkies wat oor die teerpad gesaai lê.
Ons dogter se voertuig het onherstelbare skade. Ons, daarenteen, het ’n paar blou kolle en seer lywe.
Die trourok gaan op ’n ander dag aangepas word.
Moenie uitstel om diegene na aan jou hart te koester nie. Tyd is kosbaar.
het die dinge geloop soos dit moet.
Daar waar jy verkeerd gekies het, is die genade groot as ’n mens besef en weet jou verkeerde besluite is ook diensbaar, al begryp jy dit glad nie.
Die gevolge van daardie besluite wat verkeerd geneem is, is dikwels swaar en moeilik om te bestuur.
Maar dan moet ’n mens terugval op tree vir tree en stukkie vir stukkie.

“Higher education collapses if the morals and character fail to prove and show that.”
– Ehsan Sehgal
In ’n land soos dié, met mense soos ons, word die kaf van die koring geskei; dit spruit uit saad wat in vrugbare aarde gedy. Die aardkors moet nat en vol voedingstowwe wees, die regte grondstruktuur gee lug, die temperatuur moenie te warm of te koud wees nie. Sodra die plantjie kop uitsteek, moet hy teen wind, hael, droogte en vloede beskerm word. ’n Goeie boer sal gedurig sy hand op sy plante hou. Een oog gekorrel op die plant, die ander na die horison en na bo. Die lesse wat hy uit die verlede geleer het, is sy anker. Sy drome gaan sy toekoms verwesenlik.
Wanneer daar wel kruispaaie kom: Kies drome, kies lewe, kies verstandig.
Ons is so geneig om dit te wil kies wat maklik is, wat kortpad is, wat eenvoudig lyk, sonder stryd en sonder weerstand. Kruispad-keuses werk egter dikwels nie so nie – dikwels moet jy nou swaar kies om vorentoe beter daaraan toe te wees.
Mag jy goeie en sterk kruispad-keuses maak.
Sy waardes hou hom staande teen vuur, wind, water en lug. Waardes soos eerlikheid, standvastigheid, vlytigheid, positiwiteit, verdraagsaamheid, empatie, sindelikheid, selftrots, respek, dapperheid, geduld, verantwoordbaarheid, betroubaarheid, integriteit, liefde, hoop en ander. Eienskappe wat ouers aan hul kinders in gene en in opvoeding gee. Hy drink dit in met moedersmelk, proe dit in sy eerste vaste kos, leer dit met sy eerste woorde, voel dit as hy wankelrig regop staan en die wêreld van ’n ander perspektief beleef en die toekoms herken. Dié eienskappe maak die kind iemand wat sy medemens, die aarde, sy diere- en plantelewe koester. Geen medalje, graad, sertifikaat, geleerdheid of amp, of jy die premier of die president is, verseker dié goedheid nie.

Skool vier vooruitgang
Verskeie hoogtepunte is by die Laerskool De Aar beleef toe R1,7 miljoen se verbeteringe in Februarie by die skool in gebruik geneem is.
Dié verbeteringe is moontlik gemaak deur geld wat die afgelope paar jaar deur die skool se geldinsamelingsprojekte verkry is en deur die skoolbeheerliggaam (SBL) gespaar is om dit kontant te betaal. Die skool se borge, ouerondersteuning en sy aanbieding van die Wildsprojek en die BUZZZ-fees het hiertoe bygedra.
“Dit is belangrik dat ouers, borge en die gemeenskap weet wat met dié geld gedoen word,” sê Pieter le Roux, skoolhoof. Met die beplanning van die verbeteringe was die voordeel wat die leerlinge en personeel daaruit kon trek, hoofsaak.
Die opknapping en verbetering van die tennis- en netbalbane is vir R250 000 gedoen. Dit is voorheen in 2012 gedoen. Die leerlinge kan nou die beste baanoppervlakke moontlik geniet, en die netjiese bane dra tot die netheid van die skoolterrein by. Geld wat van die Nasionale Lotery-kommissie ontvang is, het ook hier gehelp.
Sedert die skoolgebou in 1996 in gebruik geneem is, was daar nog nie geleentheid om die personeelkamer en -badkamers op te knap
nie. Die vloermat, teëls, verfwerk en houtkassies was gehawend, en die aantal personeellede het boonop intussen vermeerder. Heelwat dinkwerk is gedoen, en aanvanklik is beplan om die personeelkamer te vergroot, maar weens die hoë koste het die SBL besluit om dié opknapping op ’n kleiner skaal te doen en eerder van die geld te gebruik vir die aankoop van skoolbussies. ’n Personeelkomitee het duursame materiaal en tydlose kleure gekies, en die finale prentjie is stylvol en gebruikersvriendelik. Sover moontlik is plaaslike verskaffers en kontrakteurs gebruik. Die skool is baie trots op die twee nuwe 16sitplek-Toyota-bussies wat in gebruik geneem is. Een van die skool se BUZZZ-borge, OVK, het dit teen kosprys deur De Aar Toyota aan die skool voorsien. Die algehele koste van die bussies was nagenoeg R1,2 miljoen. Die bussies is toegerus met ’n goeie klankstelsel, lugversorging en sleephak. OVK het as naamborg toegetree en borg dié twee bussies en die ander bussie vir die volgende drie jaar. Drie watertenks is ook aangebring om die waterbergingvermoë tot 65 000 liter te verbeter. ’n Nuwe naambord is by die hoofingang opgerig, wat ’n verwelkomende gevoel skep. Die uitgawe vir dié kleiner verbeteringe was R30 000.
Verseker sakke vol kreatiwiteit vir pretdag
Soos voorheen, het die Laerskool De Aar se jaarlikse marathondag tot samehorigheid, kreatiwiteit en hope pret bygedra. Dié geleentheid, op 25 Februarie, het pret-aktiwiteite soos toutrek, sokker en rondtes om die atletiekbaan ingesluit. Tussendeur kon energievlakke herstel word by die snoepie. Boonop moes elke graad volgens ’n tema aantrek. Lelani Rautenbach en haar gr. 4E1-klas het ’n Checkers Sixty60-tema uitgebeeld. Hiervoor het Checkers De Aar vir dié onderwyser ’n motorfietsie geleen, en ook 30 Sixty60-papiersakke geskenk sodat leerlinge dit kon dra.

Nuwe leiers by Elcon verwelkom
CHARNÉ KEMP
Benewens ’n nuwe aansig vir die Elizabeth Conradie-skool (Elcon) sedert uitgebreide opknappingswerk verlede jaar, het die skool vanjaar vier nuwe personeellede verwelkom.
Carienie Scholtz, nuwe adjunkhoof, sê: “Die winde van verandering deur ons skool is ’n vars briesie wat meer leiers gebring het.” Sy glo die personeellede, wat elkeen unieke sjarme en kundigheid bring, gaan die skool se skip na nuwe horisonne help stuur. Scholtz, by die hoërskoolafdeling, sê sukses is die som van klein pogings wat elke dag herhaal word. “Ons kan ’n bestendige stroom inspirasie en leierskap verwag wat op die klein oorwinnings voortbou.”
Maritza Janse van Rensburg is die nuwe departementele hoof vir die grondslagfase.
“Sy is bekend vir meelewing en hoe sy met haar leerlinge omgaan, en is ’n baken van deernis en toewyding. Sy beoog om die grondslagfase glad te laat verloop, ondersteun deur haar passievolle span,” sê Scholtz. In die beroepstroom neem Shaheda

“Haar vars perspektief en grenslose dryfkrag beloof om leerlinge toe te rus met praktiese vaardighede wat hulle ver buite die skoolhekke sal dien. Dié department is gereed vir ’n reis van groei en prestasie,” sê Scholtz. Alta Lamprecht is waarnemende departementele hoof vir tale in die hoërskool. Sy het ’n kalm houding en onwrikbare toewyding aan haar vakgebied. “Ons glo haar bestendigheid sal ’n harmonieuse leeromgewing vir leerlinge bevorder.”
Oranje ál meer besoedel
Talle munisipaliteite in die Noord-Kaap word versoek om daadwerklik die vullisterreine van die onderskeie dorpe op te knap en die bestuur daarvan te verbeter.
As deel van sy jaarlikse vullisterrein-oudit, het lede van AfriForum die afgelope maand by talle vullisterreine besoek afgelê. Dit is deel van die organisasie se nasionale projek om die toestand van die terreine in die land te bepaal.
Kragtens toepaslike wetgewing en regulasies, waaronder die Wet op Nasionale Omgewingsbestuur, moet ’n vullisterrein aan bepaalde vereistes voldoen.
Vullis van talle munisipaliteite word egter in die Oranjerivier gestort.
Werner Strauss, AfriForum se distrikskoördineerder vir die Kalahari, sê die organisasie is in gesprekke met die betrokke munisipaliteite oor die haglike omstandighede van vullisterreine. Dit sluit die Karoo

Hoogland- en die Siyathembaplaaslike munisipaliteit in.
Die meeste vullisterreine het nie heinings nie en daar is geen beheer oor wat gestort word nie – van dierekarkasse tot ou motorbande word daar weggegooi.
Op elke vullisterrein is bewoners wat vure aansteek, wat ’n gevaar in die geval van droogtegeteisterde gebiede inhou. Die voortdurende rook dra ook tot lugbesoedeling by.
Tydens ’n besoek aan die Oranjerivier by Prieska het ’n munisipale werknemer laat hoor dat die Siyathembamunisipaliteit hom opdrag gegee het om rou riool in die rivier te stort. Hierdie storting is baie nadelig vir die natuur en die plante en visse in die rivier.
In Springbok wei skape, beeste en varke op die vullisterrein.
Die organisasie se Springboktak het met die Namakwamunisipaliteit hande gevat om
die vullisterrein op te knap. Die tak het ’n kompakteerder gehuur wat die vullis uit die pad gestoot en op vragmotors gelaai het om op die regte plek te gaan stort. Dit was egter net ’n tydelike oplossing en die vullis skep weer ’n haglike toestand.
Strauss sê die vullisterrein by Upington het egter die afgelope jaar ’n nuwe baadjie aangetrek met die aankoop van nuwe kompakteerders, die aanstelling van veiligheidswagte wat toegangsbeheer toepas en ’n nuwe heining om die vullisterrein. Hoewel daar nog heelwat probleme bestaan, is die verandering positief.
“Daar sal dringend by die vervalle vullisterreine ingetree moet word om verdere skade aan die natuur te voorkom.
“AfriForum sal daadwerklike druk toepas en met die munisipaliteite saamwerk wat wel ’n verskil in die NoordKaap wil maak deur vullisterreine reg te ruk,” sê Strauss.
Rotary celebrates 100 years
At its milestone celebration of 100 years of making a difference, Rotary International’s District 9350 invites people of all ages to become community changemakers.
Rotary International’s District 9350 includes over 80 clubs across the Northern and Western Cape of South Africa, Angola and Namibia.
For this centenary celebration, Rotary have launched an awareness campaign, “Act4Impact”.
The campaign was launched in February in Cape Town, where the wide range of community service projects undertaken by Rotary was emphasised.
Stephen Young, Rotary District 9350 governor, says they are passionate about service with the goal to inspire others as well.
“The need is so vast that it will take all of us working together – even though our part of it may be small. Together we can all make a significant impact,” he adds.
The campaign is supported by tangible examples from Rotary’s community projects that have significantly improved lives.
Rotary tackles the most pressing community challenges across seven service areas: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, supporting education, saving mothers and children, growing local economies and protecting the environment.
Individuals and organisations are invited to
One of the food gardens that was established with Rotary’s
Act4Impact, and to be a part of this journey. Write to membership@rotary9350.co.za or to rotarykimberley.org.za; alternatively follow Rotary District 9350, and Rotary Club Kimberley District 9350 to get more information.

Calling seized
Samantha Moses (41), a reading coach from De Aar, is preparing to graduate with her diploma in Gr. R teaching in the middle of this year.
This will bring her one step closer to realising her dream of making a difference in her community by applying her skills and dedication as a teacher working in Early Childhood Development (ECD).
Her journey was made possible through a bursary rewarded by De Aar Solar Power.
Moses encourages others in her community who aspire to become teachers, but may feel uncertain about taking the first step.
“You have to have a passion –you cannot become a teacher if you are not passionate.
“We are working with gentle souls; we need to give them something to look forward to. When you step into that classroom, you have to be prepared to give them your best.”
With financial support from the bursary programme, which assists students in Hanover, Britstown, Philipstown and De Aar, Moses was able to focus entirely on her studies without the financial burden.
The programme also opened the door for her to consider furthering her education.
She now plans to pursue a Bachelor of Education degree in Foundation Phase teaching, starting as a second-year student due to credits from her diploma.
Driven by her passion for
teaching, Moses hopes to inspire change in her community.
“I want to encourage parents to get involved in their children’s education, ensuring they attend school and understand the importance of learning.”
Her dedication to education stems from her experience as a reading coach at the Kareeville Primary School, a role she has held since 2017, as part of the solar plant’s overarching education programme.
Thandaza Teka, economic development specialist for De Aar Solar Power, expressed the solar plant’s support for students like Moses.
“Through our bursary programme, we aim to foster a culture of learning, equipping community members with knowledge, the foundation of sustainable livelihoods,” he said.

HELENA BARNARD
The team of the Sol Plaatje University (SPU) suffered its second defeat, during the third round of the FNB Varsity Shield, by losing 36 – 43 against the team of the FNB Varsity College.
The SPU met Varsity College in a rain-soaked Suzuki Stadium in Kimberley on Friday, 28 February.
Spectators witnessed a thrilling 11-try encounter between the SPU Gemmies and the Varsity College Comets.
As stated by a press release of the Varsity Shield Cup, the home side came out guns blazing, scoring three quick tries through Jaiden Faviers, Jan Potgieter, and Stephan du Toit before the first strategy break.
The second half was an end-toend battle that saw Edward Sigauke of the Comets pick up his brace and the Comets taking the lead in the 68th min.
The SPU players clawed their way back into the game and were trailing by just three points, with four minutes’ play-time remaining.
The Durban North outfit, who finished as runner’s-up in the previous season, had the final say when Chandler Green scored at the death to give the Comets a win.
Scorers for the SPU are Jan Potgieter, Ethan Manus, Stephan du Toit, Jaiden Faviers, and Bokamoso Maphisa.
The SPU team consisted of Jan Potgieter, Juandré le Roux, Kwandokuhle Dlamini, Tumelo Papane, Thando Shipalana, JJ Fourie, Gareth Maree, Ethan Manus, Khaya Kama (captain), Raees Sahabodien, Stephan du Toit, Jaiden Faviers, Liyabona Maplanga, Bokamoso Maphisa and Tryon China.
The SPU is currently in position five on the log.
In the opening round of the Varsity Shield Cup, the team beat the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) by 41 – 37, and in the second round SPU lost by 20 – 22 against the team of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT).
) The SPU team will be in action in round four of the Varsity Shield Cup on Friday, 7 March, when they meet the team of the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) at 19:00 at the Sisa Dukashe Stadium at Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape.

Ria Janse van Vuuren, sekretaresse van die Kimberley Harriers, sê die klub is baie tevrede met die 55ste Diamondmarathon, wat die tweede
oudste marathon in die land is. Boonop is die Kimberley Harriers die eerste hardloopklub wat in die Noord-Kaap gestig is. Meer as 500 atlete het vir Saterdag se wedloop ingeskryf, en het goeie tye behaal.

Personal best made possible
A parkrun personal best (PB) is within reach this year by following some top tips:
) Get into the habit and turn up. Consistency is key when it comes to training, and parkrun takes place every Saturday.
) Train more and increase your training volume. You become fitter and faster, and it benefits your general health and well-being.
) Do not go flat out every time you go for a run. Have some easy runs as part of your training. Also, do not try to get a PB every single
week at parkrun.
) Warm up before parkrun to get your body to its full potential.
) Do not set off too fast. Getting your pacing right is tricky, and might take several goes to get it right. Being slowed down by other runners around you is probably just what you need to prevent you from setting off too fast.
) Set a realistic goal – PBs are relative according to where you are in life.
) Have fun; it is just a run in the park. – blog.parkrun.com
