NK verheug oor uitslae
HELENA BARNARD
Hoewel die Noord-Kaap weer eens die laagste slaagsyfer van die nege provinsies in die land behaal het, is dié provinsie die een wat die grootste verbetering sedert die vorige jaar getoon het.
Die minister van basiese
onderwys, Siviwe Gwarube, het Maandag 13 Januarie die uitslae van 2024 se nasionale seniorsertifikaateksamen bekendgemaak, en Dinsdag teen spertyd is die toppresteerders van die Noord-Kaap tydens ’n geselligheid in Kimberley aangewys en vereer.
Die Noord-Kaap se slaagsyfer vir 2024 is 84,2%, wat ’n verbetering
van 8,3% vanaf 2023 is. Die Vrystaat is die provinsie wat die beste presteer het met ’n slaagsyfer van 91,0%. KwaZulu-Natal is tweede, Gauteng derde, Noordwes vierde, Wes-Kaap vyfde, gevolg deur Limpopo, Mpumalanga en die OosKaap.
Vir die eksamen het 12 937 Noord-Kaapse kandidate die
eksamen afgelê. ’n Totaal van 15 skole in die vyf distrikte het ’n 100%-slaagsyfer ontvang.
Skole in die ZF Mgcawu-distrik het die beste gevaar, gevolg deur Namakwa, Pixley Ka Seme, Frances Baard en John Taolo Gaetsewe.
Die skool in die provinsie wat die beste vordering getoon het, is die Hoërskool Dikgatlong in die
Frances Baard-distrik wat ’n 100%slaagsyfer behaal het. In 2023 was die skool se slaagsyfer 53,7%.
Die drie topskole in die provinsie is die Hoërskool Veritas in De Aar, die Friersdale Gekombineerde Skool in die Keimoes-omgewing, en die Hoërskool Martin Oosthuizen in Kakamas.

Honderde voëlvrektes ‘weens nalatigheid’
CHARNÉ KEMP
Die departement van water en sanitasie sê hy versamel bewysmateriaal in afwagting van ’n besluit van die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag (NVG) oor klagtes wat teen die Sol Plaatjemunisipaliteit in Kimberley oor grootskaalse besoedeling ondersoek word.
Dit is weens twee wanfunksionele rioolsuiweringsaanlegte waarvan besoedelde water na Kamfersdam, asook na die panne by Benfontein en Platfontein stroom. Watervoëls vrek in hul honderde op Kamfersdam vanweë botulisme weens die besoedelde afvalwater wat uit die wanfunksionele Homevale-rioolsuiweringsaanleg in die pan vloei. Die Beaconsfieldrioolaanleg is heeltemal wanfunksioneel.
Kamfersdam was eens ’n kleinflaminkparadys waarin derduisende voëls op die pan gebroei en gevoed het. Daar is nou enkele flaminke en ander
watervoëls oor.
Wisane Mavasa, departementele woordvoerder, sê hulle ondersoek die saak tesame met die polisie.
“Sodra ons al die bewysstukke het, sal die dossier aan die NVG oorhandig word. Hofverskynings deur die munisipale bestuurder en ander direkteure hang van die NVG se besluit af.
“Die aanklagtes handel oor die besoedeling van die omgewing en watermassas en die versuim om die besoedeling hok te slaan.
“Ons neem die kwessie van besoedeling van die omgewing en waterbronne ernstig op aangesien dit ’n hoë risiko is vir die verspreiding van waterdraende siektes en die gehalte van water in riviere en damme bedreig.
“Kamfersdam het ook volgeloop, moontlik vanweë die invloei van stormwater wat ’n risiko van verhoogde volume meebring. Die watergehalte is swak.
“Die omgewingstoestande bring wanbalanse mee wat kan lei tot gifstowwe in die pan,” sê Mavasa. Intussen het twee grondeienaars

die munisipaliteit verlede jaar hof toe gesleep oor die besoedelde water wat in Kamfersdam en Langleg vloei.
Die grondeienaars eis dat die munisipaliteit ’n werkbare plan opstel en in werking stel om die rioolaanlegte funksioneel te maak.
Brenda Booth, op wie se grond ’n groot gedeelte van Kamfersdam is, gaan die munisipaliteit in Februarie vanjaar weer voor die hof daag vir minagting van die hof nadat hulle nie ’n gedetailleerde plan teen die keertyd wat die hof bepaal het, ingedien het nie.
In ’n verklaring sê BirdLife SuidAfrika dat hulle ernstig bekommerd is oor die verlamming en voëlvrektes by Kamfersdam.
“Die Universiteit van Pretoria se bevindings van die patologielaboratorium dui dat botulisme die oorsaak is, wat waarskynlik vererger is deur bakteriële wanbalans van rioolvuil van die Homevaleafvalwatersuiweringsaanleg.
“Die ontdekking van Clostridium septicum in aangetaste voëls se
ingewande dui op blootstelling aan onbehandelde riool.
“Kamfersdam het vroeër SuiderAfrika se grootste permanente kleinflamink-bevolking gehuisves, met meer as 80 000 wat in 2006 aangeteken is.
“As een van slegs vier Afrikabroeiplekke vir die flaminke, ondersteun deur ’n kunsmatige broei-eiland wat in 2006 gebou is, het die terrein erkenning as ’n natuurlike erfenisterrein en sleutelbiodiversiteitsgebied gekry.
“Die afgelope vier jaar kon flaminke nie broei nie weens kunsmatige hoë watervlakke wat die broei-eiland onderdompel.
“Die eens oorvloedige flaminkbevolking is nou net sigbaar op plaaslike advertensieborde.”
Volgens botulismekenners, ene drs. Pearson en Jensen, vereis die beheer van botulisme en die stabilisering van die vleilandekosisteem dat verrottende dierproteïenophoping, veral tydens gunstige temperature vir gifstofproduksie, verwyder word.
Watervlakmanipulasie en gereelde
karkasverwydering is noodsaaklike maatreëls.
Die munisipaliteit het nie een van die ingrypings geïmplementeer nie, sê hulle.
Mark Anderson, uitvoerende hoof van BirdLife Suid-Afrika, sê die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit moet onverwyld ingryp en die nodige stappe neem om toestande by Kamfersdam te verbeter ter wille van die voëls, en die mense van Kimberley.
Ester van der WesthuizenCoetzer, omgewingspesialis by Ekapa Minerals, het verlede jaar die voëlvrektes ontdek.
Sy sê dis onaanvaarbaar dat honderde voëls in hul natuurlike habitat sterf weens nalatigheid deur onbehandelde riool in ’n natuurlike gebied te pomp.
“As ons generasie nie slaag om dié unieke habitat te red nie, sal dit verlore gaan vir toekomstige geslagte totdat die ramp beëindig word.”
Thabo Mothibi, munisipale woordvoerder het nie kommentaar op navrae gelewer nie.
Advokaat, pa in moordsaak aangekla
CHARNÉ KEMP
’n Advokaat van Kimberley en voormalige waarnemende landdros, wat etlike moordbeskuldigdes in opspraakwekkende sake in die hooggeregshof verdedig het, het op Maandag 13 Januarie saam met haar pa ’n borgtogaansoek gebring nadat hulle van onder meer moord en poging tot moord aangekla is.
Adv. Celeste Nameka (43) het tot onlangs vir John-Ross Henderson, wat van moord en poging tot moord weens ’n skietvoorval in Julie 2024 aangekla is, in dieselfde landdroshof in Kimberley opgetree.
Nameka en haar pa, Clive Ferris (67), ’n oud-onderwyser, sê hulle gaan onskuldig pleit. Hulle staan afsonderlik en/of gesamentlik tereg op aanklagte van moord, poging tot moord, aanranding met die doel om ernstig te beseer, aanranding en die afvuur van ’n vuurwapen in ’n stedelike gebied.
Die voorval het vroeg op 21 Desember 2024 by ’n huis in Minerva Gardens, Kimberley, plaasgevind waar Nameka saam het haar kêrel, wat ’n moontlike staatsgetuie kan wees, gebly het. Die kêrel is glo in sy boud geskiet en ’n middeljarige vrou, Charmaine Anthony, is in die maag gewond. Anthony is later aan haar beserings in die hospitaal oorlede. Ferris is dae ná die voorval
aangekla, en Nameka is as medebeskuldigde in Januarie bygevoeg. Albei het eedsverklarings ingedien ter ondersteuning van borgtogaansoeke. Dit is ’n skedule 6-misdryf en hulle moet uitsonderlike en buitengewone omstandighede bewys. Adv. Joy Mongala het hul verklarings in die hofsaal voorgelees. Hulle voer aan hulle kan net R500 borgtog bekostig. Ferris voer aan op die dag van die voorval het sy “histeriese” dogter hom gebel en gevra om na haar huis te gaan. Daar het hy ’n ontwrigte skouer en skedelbeserings in die voorval opgedoen en moet nog gehospitaliseer wees, maar die polisie het sy ontslag bewimpel om in die hof te verskyn. Hy sal teruggaan hospitaal toe sodra hy borgtog kry. Ferris maak beswaar teen die optrede van vorige landdroste en beplan om klagtes by die Regterlike Dienskommissie in te dien. Die
landdroste het glo, toe hy nog alleen aangekla was, in hofsittings gesê hulle gaan hulself verskoon en dat geen landdros in die jurisdiksie beskikbaar is om op te tree nie. Hulle het nie redes verskaf nie. Nameka is ontevrede met besluite van die hoofaanklaer, en wil klagtes by die betrokke owerhede indien. Sy het ’n doktorsgraad in regte, het een skoolgaande seun en is van haar werk afhanklik om hom te versorg. Sy het meer as 40 kliënte, en haar aanhouding sal hulle benadeel. Die ernstige mediese toestand waaraan sy ly, vereis onder meer ’n spesiale dieet en gereelde behandeling. Weens veiligheidsredes eis sy om nie in polisieselle aangehou te word nie. Sy meen die staat se saak teen haar is swak en ontken dat sy die polisie vals inligting gegee het. Die dag van die voorval het haar kêrel glo dronk tuisgekom. Sy het haar pa gebel om haar te kom haal, waarna die voorval plaasgevind het. Nameka beskuldig haar kêrel dat hy haar oor jare heen emosioneel en fisiek mishandel het. ’n Interdik teen hom het hy glo oortree. Foto’s van haar beserings is gedokumenteer. Later het sy die interdik teruggetrek omdat sy lief was vir hom. Adv. Keiso Lebello, aanklaer, wat die borgtog teenstaan, sê hy gaan een getuie vir die staat roep. Die aansoek voor landdros Khumalo het op Dinsdag 14 Januarie voortgeduur.
Parties ask mayor to resign
Opposition parties in the Thembelihle Local Municipality in Hopetown are demanding the resignation of the town’s mayor after he was arrested for assault on a female victim (37).
The suspect is Marnus Visser of the Siyathemba Community Forum or SGB. The SGB rules the municipality in a coalition with the ANC.
Sgt Timothy Sam, police spokesperson, says the police in Philipstown are investigating a case of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm (GBH) following the alleged assault of a woman by her boyfriend in the town on 5 January.
“The police arrested the 36year-old suspect, who appeared in the Philipstown Magistrates’ Court on 8 January. He will launch an official bail application on 15 January,” Sam says.
L.W. Makenna, EFF councillor,
says the alleged act is condemned by their party.
“It is an abhorrent travesty that a figure of authority, who instead of serving as a beacon for fairness and justice, has mired himself in the mud of gender-based violence. This is beneath the dignity of the mayoral office and represent a gross betrayal of our community’s trust.”
Paul van Niekerk, FF Plus councillor, agrees by saying that the suspect should resign as mayor and councillor of his own accord. He also says the fact that the mayor was arrested in Philipstown, part of the Renosterberg Local Municipality, raises new questions about his position in Thembelihle.
“There has been concern for some time that he does not live in the municipality of which he is mayor.

NC entrepreneur honoured for change
Evelyn Maruping, creative entrepreneur and partnership specialist from the Northern Cape, was honoured with the prestigious Agent of Change Award by the province’s Department of Sports, Arts and Culture (DSAC).
This award recognises Maruping’s outstanding contributions to the creative industry and her unwavering commitment to driving positive change in communities across the province.
During the awards ceremony on 12 December, six women who have made significant strides in shaping their industries and uplifting their communities in the Northern Cape, were awarded.
Maruping’s award signified her role as a trailblazer in the fields of media, stakeholder engagement, and social development.
The accolade was presented by MEC Nontobeko Vilikazi, who praised the awardees for their resilience, leadership, and transformative impact.
“Evelyn embodies the spirit of innovation and dedication that we seek to cultivate in the Northern Cape,” said chief director, Bonakele Jacobs.
“Her journey and contributions continue to inspire and empower others, making her a true agent of change in our province and our Starlet.”
Maruping’s relationship with the DSAC began in 2011 when she was awarded a fully funded bursary to pursue her studies at The School for the Creative
Babies born on 1 January
The Department of Health said the country’s public health facilities have recorded 1 448 births on 1 January. This is a decline compared to 1 703 deliveries recorded last year this time.
Though the number of teen mothers has also decreased from 190 recorded last year to just over 80 this year, the department calls upon all sectors, including families, to address the scourge of teenage pregnancy. This can lead to poor school attendance, poor performance and ultimately school dropout.
The births per province are: Northern Cape 37; North West 89; Free State 85; Eastern Cape 219; Gauteng 387; Limpopo 191; KwaZulu-Natal 185; Mpumalanga 154; and Western Cape 101.
Economy.
Specialising in producing for motion picture medium, Maruping graduated with honors.
She is also dedicated to youth and women’s empowerment in the arts and business sectors in the Northern Cape. Maruping founded amongst other Northern Cape Starlet and Ping TVSA.
“I am deeply humbled to receive this award and grateful to the department for believing in my vision from the start,” said Maruping.
“This recognition fuels my passion to continue using storytelling and media as tools for empowerment and change.”
Her work spans across
media production, public relations, and community initiatives, including the successful execution of the Conversations for Change events and vodcast, and high-profile events for clients such as Standard Bank and the EBL Institute of Business and Technology. Her recognition solidifies her standing as a key player in the Northern Cape’s creative and social development sectors.
The Agent of Change Award honors Maruping’s personal achievements, but also highlights the department’s ongoing efforts to celebrate and invest in local talent, fostering growth and innovation within the province.
Welcoming new traffic inspectors
DEPARTEMENT GEREED VIR NUWE SKOOLJAAR
Altesaam 24 213 aansoeke vir 2025 is vir gr. R, gr. 1 en gr. 8 in die Noord-Kaap ontvang.
Uit dié aansoeke kon die Noord-Kaapse departement van onderwys daarin slaag om 99% te plaas.
Geoffrey van der Merwe, mediawoordvoerder, sê die departement werk onverpoos
om laat aansoeke teen Vrydag 17 Januarie te plaas. Weens begrotingsbeperkings het die departement ’n vertraging in die uitbetaling van norm- en standaardtoewysings ervaar. ’n Gedeelte van die geld is nou beskikbaar te danke aan die ondersteuning van die premier en die Provinsiale
Tesourie. Dit sal vir skryfbehoeftes, bykomende leeren ondersteuningsmateriaal, dienste aan skole, leerhulp vir spesiale skole en koshuissubsidies gebruik word. Vervoer word nou vir 28 307 leerlinge op 504 roetes verskaf wat deur 249 diensverskaffers oor al vyf distrikte bedryf word.

A total of 16 new traffic inspectors, to bolster road traffic law enforcement in the Northern Cape, were welcomed on 9 January by Bentley Vass, MEC for Coghsta and Transport, Safety and Liaison. This followed after the recruiting of 50 traffic trainees in 2024, who were enrolled at the Matjhabeng Traffic Training Academy in Welkom in the Free State to be trained, graduate and pass-out for the Certificate in Road Traffic Law Enforcement (NQF level 4). Vass said at the beginning of March, after an open recruitment process, an additional 25 provincial traffic inspectors will be appointed. Those trainees who could not pass all their unit standards in 2024, still have to conclude the programme.
The new inspectors were deployed to ten traffic stations in the province, and commenced their duties on 13 January. With the new inspectors and senior officials are Vass (third from the left, front) and Martha Bartlett (mayor: Sol Plaatje Municipality) next to him. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Teug aan welkome lafenis
Tydens Desember en vroeg Januarie het reën oor groot dele van Suid-Afrika en Namibië uitgesak. Izette van Wyk van die plaas Millekena naby Aranos in Namibië het dié foto die dag ná Kersfees geneem. Reën in dié tydperk het lafenis gebring, droogte plek-plek gebreek, en ook vloedskade veroorsaak, soos in dele van die Mier-omgewing in die Noord-Kaap.. Volgens die weerdiens yr.no word min tot geen reën vanaf Woensdag 15 Januarie tot Dinsdag 21 Januarie vir Kimberley voorspel. Die gemiddelde minimum temperature vir dié tydperk is 19,8° C en die maksimum 34,1° C. Vir Kuruman is die gemiddelde minimum 18,8° C en die maksimum 31,5° C, terwyl dit vir Upington onderskeidelik 23,3° C en 36,6° C is. Verspreide donderbuie word wel vir Dinsdag oor die streek voorspel, met Sondag en Maandag die warmste dae van die week. FOTO: FACEBOOK/NAMIBIË REËNVAL/IZETTE VAN WYK

Beter toekoms in elkeen se hande
Jaar na jaar word hierdie week deur vreugdekrete en krokodiltrane op verskeie terreine gekenmerk. Vir gr. 1’s is dit vreugde en trane om vir die eerste keer skool toe te gaan. Die vorige jaar se matrieks beleef in die tyd dieselfde teenstrydige emosies met die bekendmaking van hul matriekuitslae, en die onsekerheid of opgewondenheid oor ’n toekoms wat ná ’n skoolloopbaan voorlê.
Volwassenes is dankbaar, maar tong-in-die-kies ontnugter omdat hulle steeds nie die spreekwoordelike lotto gewen het nie en weer die tuig ná die vakansie moet opneem – dit is nou diegene wat wel ’n werk het en wel ’n vakansie gehad het. Die matriekklas van 2024 het glo geskiedenis gemaak met die meeste wat tot nou toe met universiteitsvrystelling geslaag het. Dit is glo ook die hoogste matriekslaagsyfer in die land se geskiedenis. Só het Siviwe Gwarube, die minister van basiese onderwys, Maandag 13
Twyfelhoekie
Januarie met die bekendmaking van die uitslae gesê. Gwarube sê leerlinge moet die skoolbanke verlaat met opleiding en ’n kwalifikasie wat hulle in staat stel om tersiêre opleiding te kry of die werkmark so te betree om ’n menswaardige lewe te lei. Dit is nie nuus dat weinig Suid-Afrikaanse leerlinge in die gr. 4-ouderdomsgroep nie met begrip kan lees nie. Boonop het ’n onlangse evaluasie aangedui dat Suid-Afrikaanse leerlinge op internasionale vlak in wiskunde en wetenskap onderpresteer. ’n Behoorlike grondslag in letter- en syfervaardigheid in die vroegste skooljare is van uiterse belang vir latere sukses. Sy sê ook dat die sukses van die onderwysstelsel nie alleenlik deur statistiek gemeet word nie, maar ook deur elke lewe wat verander is, hindernisse wat afgebreek is, en elke toekoms wat ontsluit is. Laat ons met nuwe hoop skouer aan die wiel sit, en mag elkeen op sy manier bydra om ’n lewe te verbeter, hindernisse af te breek, en ’n beter toekoms vir almal te ontsluit.

Die nuus op die radio berig die paaie is besig en mense is op pad terug huis toe.

Op sy navraag of ek ’n funksie sal bywoon, antwoord ek hom eerlik.
Ek het ’n groot sperdatum op daardie betrokke dag en sal ongelukkig nie die punte bymekaar kry nie.
Ek wonder ’n oomblik hieroor na. Is dit nie wat ons doen nie?
Dit is nie verskonings nie.
Eerlikwaar nie. Dit is redes.
Redes wat gewig dra en wat ander mense sal verstaan.
Wanneer die kinders skool toe gaan.
Wanneer die kinders klaar is met skool.
Wanneer die kinders uit die huis is.
Wanneer die finansies beter lyk.
Wanneer my gesondheid beter is. Wanneer ek afgetree het.
Dit is in hierdie tyd van die jaar wat ons met mekaar gesels oor ons drome, ons verwagtinge, ons uitdagings, ons doelwitte.
Ons praat oor voornemens wat ons weet realisties is en voornemens wat ons weet minder realisties is. Wat wil ons uit dié jaar hê?
Ons spot oor gewig en diëte ná ’n lekker-eet-Desembermaand en oor ’n lang uitdagendefinansiële-Januarie maand.
Ons is ernstig oor die dieper
dinge van die lewe en dink na oor ’n onseker jaar.
Dit is oor so ’n tyd wat ’n gesprek tussen vriende my bybly.
Hul gesprek is ernstig. Hul gesprek handel oor gebed.
As jy vir een ding hierdie jaar bid, waarvoor sou dit wees?
Met wysheid en insig antwoord die meeste vir goeie gesondheid, versorging, genade en al daardie nodige dinge. Een antwoord egter anders.

Ons lewe gaan verby. Geleenthede om mense te ontmoet, te groei en herinneringe vas te lê, bly ons so ontwyk.
Dit is nie dat ons nie wil nie.
Ons wil. Regtig. Net nie nou nie. Nou is moeilik. Dalk later. 2025 het nie net aangebreek nie, dit is in volle swang.
Dit waarna die meeste mense uitgesien het, is iets van die verlede. Die gemiddelde mens is terug by die werk en leerlinge terug by die skool.
Die wêreld gaan aan asof daar nooit asem geskep is nie.
Ons bevind ons in die nimmereindigende Januarie wat nie maklik einde kry nie.
Mag ons gedurende hierdie nuwe jaar ’n poging aanwend om ’n oomblik na te dink voordat
ons iets tot later aanskuif.
Wie weet, dalk breek later nooit aan nie.

Kies skilderykiekies en kunstenaar weldeurdag, want ’n oomblik kan ’n leeftyd hou –teen of af van die muur. Oomblik
Dié les het Rooypa onlangs geleer. Ter verdediging van Rooyma: Dit is moeilik om ’n foto van vier gesinslede te vind waarin niemand frons, wegkyk of met skrefiesoë teen die Afrikason skans trek nie. Voeg brilweerkaatskings, dubbelkenne, verdagte gesigsuitdrukkings en té veel plooie by die taboe-lysie en slegs enkele onsies is opsies. Interpretasie, objektiwiteit en kunstige voorkeure speel ook ’n rol in die hervertolking van ’n blik. Geen wonder Ouma Lappies het hardop gelag vir Rooypa se dubbelken, Rooyma se volmaan gesig en Sussie met haar
aweregse, opwipkuifie nie. Die Rooyspan vergelyk die doek met die foto. Rooypa blameer die hoek waarteen die foto geneem is, die foto wat opwaarts geneem is sodat almal se neusvleuels aanhalingstekens is, én Rooyma se gebrek aan estetiese oordeelsvermoë.
“Van al ons foto’s moes jy daardie een stuur – sonder om met my te praat,” raas hy. Hy is so vies hy weier om ’n gat in ’n muur vir die kunswerk te boor. Rooyma vra die kunstenaar om ’n paar “kosmetiese veranderings” te maak. Die spontane vasleg van ’n oomblik het tot die bespreking van menings en besinning gelei waar sekere kwaliteite onderspeel of oorbeklemtoon is.

Living Griqua legend celebrates 105 years
A living legend in the Griqua community celebrated her 105th birthday in Campbell with amongst other her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
Ma Griet Messelaar, as she is known, was born on 1 January 1920 in Griquatown as the daughter of Paul and Bettie Visser. She is the second eldest of six children, and is the only one still alive.
Her 105th birthday celebration took place on 4 January at the residence of one of her sons, Rev. Abi Messelaar, who is also the president of the National African Farmers Union (Nafu) in the Northern Cape.
Ma Griet was married in 1950 to the late Isak Babetjie Messelaar, who was a Griqua leader at Campbell. Nine children were born out of this wedlock.
When her husband passed away in 1971, Ma Griet raised all her children as a single parent. In 2020, Ma Griet lost two of her sons in less than five months due to Covid19. Aaron Martin William Messelaar of the Griqua Royal House and Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa, is her youngest son and the spokesperson of the Messelaar family
He says Ma Griet can still remember the different wars and how bad they were treated during apartheid. With the help of her knowledge the Messelaar family could claim the land they have lost during 1948. She also remembers the day in 1995 when former president Nelson Mandela arrived with a helicopter in Griquatown.
Ma Griet started with the making of Griqua arts and crafts as an income. This has become her passion to enrich her
community. She has been the driving force behind the training and skills development amongst women, especially Griqua artefacts such as the making of traditional matts.
Furthermore, she was a great inspiration and helped with the writing of the book Forgotten but not buried, the Griqua Culture and Superstitions by Aaron.
Ma Griet can still walk and do things for herself, and has no health problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Part of her remedy for a long life is to respect and honor your parents.
She also controls her food consumption and drinks a lot of water every day.

Volle eeu gevier met geliefdes
Ouma Fanny Fouché van Kimberley het op 23
Desember haar 100ste verjaarsdag saam met kinders, kleinkinders en agterkleinkinders van oor die land heen gevier.
Hoewel haar dementia vererger het, het sy drie baie “helder” dae gehad, vertel Lona Krause, een van Fouché se dogters.
Nadat Fouché aanvanklik oorweldig was deur die baie mense het sy die meeste van die kinders herken en was sy vol grappies en het met allerhande koddige sêgoed vorendag gekom.
“Ons was baie bevoorreg om die paar dae saam met haar deur te bring,” sê Krause.
Teenwoordig by Fouché se verjaarsdagvieringe was haar dogter by wie sy in

Commitment clear
St Patrick’s CBC in Kimberley showcased a 100% pass rate for 2024’s Gr. 12 examinations, with 86% of students qualifying for university admission. This is the 14th consecutive year the school has achieved a 100% pass rate.
Doka Matla, originally from Lesotho, is the top candidate.
He was the head prefect for 2024 as well as the Dux learner of the school – all this in spite of being two full years younger than the rest of his grade.
His seven distinctions were achieved in the face of adversity having lost his father in 2021 and his mother in 2024.
The caring and loving nature at St Patrick’s assisted him in overcoming these major emotional setbacks.
“We are incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding achievements,” said Craig Neave, executive head of St Patrick’s CBC.
“Their success is a testament to their commitment and the unwavering support of our dedicated teachers and staff.
“We look forward to seeing them excel in their future academic pursuits.”
The strong performance in university admissions highlights the effectiveness of the IEB curriculum and its focus on preparing students for higher education.

In his address, the premier of the Northern Cape, Dr Zamani Saul, announced the top performing school per quintile as follows:
) quintile 1: Dikgatlong High School in the Frances Baard District;
) quintile 2: Veritas High School in the Pixley Ka Seme District;
) quintile 3: Pitso Jantjie High School in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District;
) quintile 4: Warrenton High School in the Frances Baard District; and
) quintile 5: Martin Oosthuizen High School in the ZF Mgcawu District.
Reflecting on the matric results, the minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube, says while good progress has been made in expanding education access, the attention must turn towards improving
the quality of the education that learners receive.
“Learners must leave our schools with an education and a qualification that allows them to pursue higher education opportunities or enter the job market in order to live lives of dignity,” she remarks.
She says recently released international benchmarking studies and the country’s own recently released Systemic Evaluation results, show that learners in Gr. 5 to Gr. 9 significantly underperform in relation to their global counterparts in Mathematics and Science.
It also shows that too many learners in South Africa cannot read for meaning in
any language by Gr. 4.
“This means that too many learners progress through the basic education system without mastering foundational skills, particularly in literacy and numeracy,” she says.
However, the Class of 2024 entered Gr. 8 in 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, which was a huge disruption to teaching and learning globally. They also entered Gr. 9 – a key year for subject selection for senior grades – during the pandemic.
“The Class of 2024 reflects the resilience of the protea, South Africa’s national flower and a symbol of renewal and strength.”

Human trafficking exploitation in many forms
Reports have shown a worrying increase in children running away from home or disappearing, making it more important than ever to spread awareness on human trafficking.
January marks Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and Famsa is stepping up its efforts to protect children and educate the community on this critical issue. Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion, for the purpose of exploitation.
This exploitation can take many forms, including forced labour,
sexual exploitation, and domestic servitude.
How to report a missing person
) Act immediately. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to wait 24 hours before reporting a missing person. In South Africa, you can and should file a report as soon as you suspect someone is missing. Time is critical, especially in cases involving vulnerable individuals like children, the elderly, or those with medical conditions.
) Gather key information. Before contacting authorities, compile as
much information as possible about the missing person, including: – full name and nickname(s);
– age, gender, and physical description (height, weight, distinguishing marks);
– a recent photograph;
– a description of the clothing they were last seen wearing;
– the date, time, and location of their last known whereabouts;
– details about their usual routines, habits, or frequent locations; and – any known medical conditions or special needs.
) Report to the South African Police Service (SAPS). Visit your nearest police station and provide
FOCUS ON: SEGONYANA MALL, KURUMAN
all the gathered details. Insist on filing a missing person report. Obtain a case number for future reference. The police will initiate an investigation and notify other stations to assist in the search.
) Alert your community. Spread the word in your community and online: Share the person’s photo and details on social media platforms. Inform neighbourhood watch groups, schools, and local businesses.
) Follow up. Stay in regular contact with the police to ensure the case is being actively investigated. Keep them informed if you uncover any new leads or information.
) Additional tips. Avoid sharing sensitive personal details (such as home addresses) online to prevent exploitation. If you suspect foul play, inform the police immediately. Support services like counselling may be available for families during this stressful time.
Important contact information
) Contact the SAPS on: 10111, or alternatively visit your nearest police station.
) For more information or to report a missing person, contact Famsa at 053-723-1564.

Retail transformed in November
Kuruman is set to welcome a transformative addition to its retail landscape, with the opening of the Segonyana Mall in November 2025.
This highly anticipated project by the Moolman Group, a leading property developer, will bring a safe and secure shopping experience to the heart of the bustling town.
The Segonyana Mall officially broke ground with a sod-turning ceremony on 2 December, marking the commencement of construction.
This milestone follows years of planning and multiple delays, signalling the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the community.
The ceremony was attended by, amongst others, the executive mayor, municipal manager, and key delegates from local authorities who have played an instrumental role in supporting the realisation of the mall.
Their unwavering commitment to the development has been crucial in bringing this vision to life, promising to be a major catalyst for local economic growth and job creation.
This mall will cater to the expanding needs of residents with an exciting mix of diverse retailers.
In addition to anchor tenants Shoprite and Boxer, shoppers can look forward to big-name brands like Sheet Street, Home Choice, Totalsports and Sportscene.

Warriors back home with gold
The 16 students of Phoenix Warriors from Kathu who competed in the African Continental Championships of the World Association of Kickboxing Organisations (Wako), returned home with 18 gold, 17 silver and 4 bronze medals.
This championship was held in Benoni from 9 to 12 December. Shihan David Mac Vay says it was an experience for the students to fight on international level.
They experienced amongst other the African Continental Championships with 571 participants from 15 African countries. From Kathu, six were
crowned All African champions in their various age categories.
“Apart from Phoenix Warriors achievements, students got experience from international and multi world champion Bailey Murphy from America showcasing his skills and sharing knowledge, to former multi Wako world champion, Gös László Gömbi. Sport can change your life. I have seen how their passion, enthusiasm and life changed in these four days,” he comments, saying the academy is proud to be part of the growth in youth sport and kickboxing.
