Aankoms van eerste 1 200 mm-grootmaatpype verwelkom
‘Dinge gebeur in Riverton’
HELENA BARNARD
Die aflewering van die eerste 16 pype vir die vervanging van die grootmaatpypleiding vanaf die Riverton-watersuiweringsaanleg teen die Vaalrivier tot by die Newton-reservoir in Kimberley, word as ’n betekenisvolle mylpaal beskryf om watersekerheid in die stad te verseker.
Hierdie ingryping op die grootmaatwatervoorsieningstelsel van die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit is deel van die Nasionale Tesourie se R2,5 biljoen begrotingsfasiliteit vir infrastruktuur (BFI). Die omvattende BFI-program bestaan uit 35 projekte wat in drie fases oor nagenoeg agt jaar uitgevoer moet word.
Op Maandag 24 Februarie was die opwinding in Riverton groot toe die BFI-program amptelik bekend gestel is, en die eerste 16 van 1 780 pype besigtig kon word.
Dié nuwe pype, met ’n deursnit van 1 200 mm, gaan langs die ou en lekkende 900 mm-pypleiding gelê word. Volgens Thapelo Matlala, munisipale bestuurder, behoort dié spesifieke projek in die volgende 18 maande voltooi te wees.
“Dié pypleiding sal betroubare waterverskaffing vir die volgende 50 tot 70 jaar verseker,” sê hy.
In ’n video-aanbieding het Winston Moyahi, BFI-projekbestuurder,
verskeie onlangse verbeteringe by die ou en nuwe watersuiweringsaanlegte, wat onderskeidelik 72 en 51 jaar oud is, uitgelig.
Rikus Rossouw, ingenieur by Bigen Africa, wat sedert verlede jaar by die aanlegte betrokke is en onder meer die filters – ongeveer so groot soos ’n swembad asook die verhelderingstenks opgeknap en in ’n werkende toestand gekry het, sê die aankoms van die pype is ’n groot geleentheid.
Martha Bartlett, burgemeester, sê die aankoms van die eerste pype vir die grootmaattoevoerpypleiding is die begin van die mediumtermyningryping. Vordering is reeds die afgelope maande gemaak in die strewe om 150 megaliter per dag te voorsien, pleks van 100 megaliter. Verlede jaar April is meer as 14 groot waterlekke op die 900 mm-pypleiding
as ’n interim-maatreël herstel.
In sy spreekbeurt het dr. Zamani Saul, premier van die Noord-Kaap, gesê die BFI-program is ’n permanente oplossing vir die waterprobleme in Kimberley wat deur ’n verouderde infrastruktuur wat nie behoorlike onderhou is nie, veroorsaak is.
“Hierdie program moet in begroting en in tyd afgehandel word,” het hy beklemtoon.
Volgens hom sal ongeveer duisend poste hierdeur geskep word. Die vorige werkskeppingsprojek van dié omvang in Kimberley was die konstruksie van die Sol Plaatjeuniversiteit (SPU).
Nkaelang Mamapula, voorsitter van die Droogfontein Communal Property Association, sê dié vereniging ondersteun die projek ten volle, en wil graag sien dat die gemeenskap op die langtermyn hieruit baat, en vaardighede ontwikkel.
“Dinge gebeur in Riverton” te danke aan die projek, sê Dipuo Peters, speaker. Sy het ook gesê “laat die een wat geld van die projek steel, se sak uitbrand.”
Die uitvoer van die projekte sal onvermydelik van tyd tot tyd wateronderbrekings veroorsaak, sê Bartlett, en dat tydige kommunikasie hieroor sal plaasvind.
“Die ingrypings word met ’n aanslag van progressiewe ontwikkeling aangepak,” sê sy.
Dié pype, wat elk meer as vyf ton weeg, is op vier vragmotors as abnormale vragte vanaf Sasolburg aangery waar dit deur Africa Pipe Industries (API) vervaardig word. Dié tender is eers einde Desember aan API toegeken en pype vir 9 km is reeds vervaardig. Dit het ’n deursnit van 1 200 mm en gaan die ou en lekkende 900 mm-pype vanaf Riverton tot Kimberley, oor 33,8 km, vervang. FOTO’S: HELENA BARNARD

BULLETIN
Munisipaliteit tree ‘arrogant’ op
CHARNÉ KEMP
Die Sol Plaatje-munisipaliteit in Kimberley het met ’n arrogante, kwaadwillige en traakmy-nie-agtige houding hulle geensins aan ’n 2024-hofbevel gesteur ingevolge waarvan hulle binne 60 dae ’n tegniese verslag moes indien oor hoe hulle hul rioolbesoedeling van die oorvol Kamfersdam buite die stad gaan stopsit.
Só het Brenda Booth van Northern Cape Ranchers (NCR) en ’n benadeelde grondeienaar se regspan op Dinsdag 18 Februarie in die hooggeregshof in Kimberley betoog in hul aansoek dat die munisipaliteit met ’n bestraffende kostebevel aan minagting van die hof skuldig bevind word. Die munisipaliteit is veronderstel om gesuiwerde water uit sy Homevale-rioolaanleg en -watersuiweringsaanleg in Kamfersdam te pomp. Dié aanleg is al jare wanfunksioneel en massas rou riool beland in die dam. Booth voer aan die water verswelg die weiding, bedreig plante en diere en besoedel die grond in so ’n mate dat die waarde daarvan gedurig verminder. Die stad se bekende flaminke wat eens daar gebroei en oorleef het, het lankal verdwyn.
Ingevolge die hofbevel wat Booth op 22 Maart 2024 bekom het, moes die munisipaliteit binne 60 dae ’n tegniese verslag by die hof indien. Hierin moet die munisipale bestuurder verduidelik wat die stappe is om binne 120 dae die e.Coli-vlakke binne aanvaarbare vlakke te verlaag, nie meer as 30 megaliter per dag los te laat, en geen rou riool in Kamfersdam te pomp nie. Adv. Danie Olivier het namens Booth betoog dat geen verslag of beëdigde verklaring teen die keerdatum ingedien is oor hoekom die hofbevel nie nagekom is nie. Eers toe hulle in die begin van Junie 2024 herinner is, het die munisipaliteit op 27 Junie
’n sogenaamde tegniese verslag ingedien.
Olivier betwyfel die egtheid van die verslag en voer aan dit is vir ’n konferensie in Mei 2023 met die departement van water en sanitasie (DWS) voorberei. Die datum van Mei 2023 is net na Mei 2024 aangepas om dit as die sogenaamde tegniese verslag voor te hou.
Daarin word geen besonderhede beskryf soos die hof gelas het nie. Olivier voer aan die munisipaliteit probeer die hof ’n rat voor die oë draai met dié verslag.
Die munisipaliteit kan nie voorgee hulle was aanvanklik onbewus van die Maart 2024hofbevel nie, want hulle het ingestem tot die hofbevel en het selfs wysigings gemaak. Hul regsverteenwoordiger was in die hof. Sedert 2016 het die munisipaliteit hom nie aan etlike direktiewe van die DWS of die drie regseise van Booth gesteur nie, voer Olivier aan. Booth se uitnodigings om die omgewingskade aan haar grond te inspekteer, is van die hand gewys.
Sedert Booth se aansoek aangehoor is, versleg die situasie by Kamfersdam en honderde voëlvrektes is in November verlede
jaar aangemeld. Wetenskaplikes het bevestigende toetsuitslae geneem, daar is ’n rioolreuk en teenwoordigheid op die grond.
Adv. Peter Volmink, namens die munisipaliteit, ontken dat hulle die hof minag of hul gedrag buite orde is. Hy erken hulle het “ ’n fout of misstap” gemaak toe hulle nie die tegniese verslag of eedsverklaring by die hof ingedien het nie. Hy gee toe die “verslag” het gapings en gebreke.
Dit is onwaar dat die munisipaliteit “nie ’n duit omgee vir wat by die aanleg gebeur nie” of in “kwade wil en arrogant” optree. Volmink voer aan hulle is besig met “beduidende” regstellende stappe en dat die damvlak begin daal.
Hulle onderhandel met die gholfbaan en Ekapa-myn om water weg te pomp en daar is ’n plan om water na nabygeleë plase te pomp. Die mobiele pompe van Transnet sal binnekort in diens gestel word. Die munisipaliteit het ’n versoek aan die Tesourie gerig vir geld om die aanleg reg te ruk. Regter Almé Stanton het uitspraak voorbehou.
Henderson: Nuwe feite vir appèl
John Ross Henderson, wat van moord en poging tot moord beskuldig word, het genoeg uitsonderlike omstandighede en toepaslike nuwe feite bewys. Dit het die hooggeregshof in Kimberley op Woensdag 19 Februarie in ’n aansoek om appèl teen die weiering van borgtog aangehoor.
Henderson (38) word verdink dat hy vir Jayson Afrique doodgeskiet het, en Jayson se vrou, Michayla, in hul bakkie voor hul woonkompleks in Julie 2024 in Kimberley wou doodskiet. Die polisie het hom in September 2024 in hegtenis geneem. Sy eerste borgtogaansoek het misluk, asook die tweede aansoek op nuwe feite, waarna sy appèlaansoek na die hooggeregshof verwys is.
Die staat voer aan die skieter het die egpaar eers agtervolg voor daar op hulle losgebrand is kort voordat hulle met hul bakkie by hul woonkompleks wou inry.
Henderson se selfoon met sy vingerafdruk daarop is naby die egpaar se bakkie op die misdaadtoneel gevind. Die staat voer aan Henderson se klagte die volgende dag by die polisie dat sy foon by ’n vulstasiekafee verlore gegaan het, is ’n rookskerm. Herholdt Robertson, namens Henderson, het aangevoer sy kliënt het tien nuwe feite aan die hof voorgelê. Dit sluit in dat hy self getuig het en kruisondervra is; getuienis waarin hy sy teenwoordigheid op die moordtoneel onthul het. Na bewering het hy as ’n sekuriteitswag op patrollie in die omgewing van die voorval op die roepradio verneem en daarheen beweeg. Die polisie se tydlyn van gebeure, wat ook in ’n mediaverklaring onthul is, maak nie sin nie. Dit is van wanneer Michayla haar pa vanaf die toneel gebel het, sy aankoms en tot wanneer die selfoon opgetel is.
Die betrokke landdros wat die tweede borgtogaansoek geweier het, het fouteer deur nie die foto’s van die bakkie wat Henderson ingedien het as getuienis te oorweeg nie, het Robertson aangevoer.
In sy antwoord het adv. Theuns Barnard namens die staat aangevoer dat nuwe feite van toepassing tot die saak moet wees, en reeds bekend en openbaar moet wees tydens die eerste borgtogaansoek en nie vir latere gebruik nie.
Henderson se verweer kan nie tydens die twee borgtogaansoeke verander nie. As hy ontken dat hy die dade gepleeg het, sal die tydlyn nie vir hom tersaaklik wees nie, ook nie vanwaar die skote gevuur is nie. Volgens Barnard is Henderson se grootste probleem dat sy selfoon digby die bakkie gelê het vanwaar die skote gevuur is en die polisie dit gevind het.
Waarnemende regter T. Tyuthuza het uitspraak voorbehou.
‘TREE IN’
Swangerskappe onder leerlinge het in die afgelope drie kwartale toegeneem, volgens statistiek deur die departement van onderwys. Dit dui aan dat 76 389 leerlinge in die ouderdomsgroep 15 tot 19 jaar geboorte geskenk het, en 1 424 in die groep tien tot 14 jaar. In die Noord-Kaap is dit onderskeidelik 2 051 en 42.
Angel Khanyile, DA-LP, sê dringende ingryping is nodig: Van die gevalle is statutêre verkragting; boonop kan tienerswangerskappe armoede bevorder.

Begrip troef verslawing
HELENA BARNARD
Vanuit persoonlike ervaring van afhanklikheid aan middels soos drank, dwelms en oor-die-toonbank-medisyne, en vanuit die wete dat dit oorwin kan word, ontvang elkeen wat die Christelike Afhanklikheidsdiens (CAD) besoek, begrip. By CAD se Kathu-tak is dit hoe besoekers verwelkom word, en voorsitter Henriëtte Husselmann vertel oud en jonk, mans, vroue en tieners, en alle bevolkingsgroepe is welkom om dié ondersteuningsgroep se sessies by te woon.
Husselmann sê verslawing is ’n werklikheid, en dat sy en haar man albei eerstehands daarvan kennis dra: Sy was aan Grandpahoofpynpoeiers verslaaf, en hy aan alkohol. CAD, ’n nie-winsgewende organisasie, is nie ’n rehabilitasiesentrum nie, en funksioneer as ondersteuningsgroepe oor die land heen.
In die Noord-Kaap bestaan die Kathu-tak sedert 2001, en CAD-takke is ook in Upington, Delportshoop en Vaalharts, met takke wat in Kimberley en Vryburg in die Noordwes gestig word. Dienste word vanuit ’n Christelike raamwerk gelewer en help ’n gerehabiliteerde persoon om sy regmatige plek in die samelewing in te neem.
Persone wat CAD-sessies bywoon, ontvang onder meer riglyne vir probleemoplossing en krisishantering; ondervind geestelike groei; doen vryetydbesteding; leer lewensvaardighede en om snellers en pyn te hanteer; asook emosies en wantroue, en om geduldig te wees. Sessies is die geleentheid om eensaamheid te besweer en te getuig. Konferensies, waar lede van ander groepe en streke ontmoet, dien as ’n verdere uitreikingsgeleentheid.
“Ons het al met so baie ’n pad na sober gewoontes gestap; ’n pad wat nie maklik is nie,” sê Husselmann. Sy, saam met ondervoorsitter Schalk van der Merwe en sekretaresse Kyla Botha, wil graag ’n verskil in
verslaafdes se lewe maak. Sy glo hulle kan saam soveel aanpak, soos die vestiging van ’n sopkombuis en groentetuin, en ’n ruimte waar handgemaakte produkte verkoop kan word.
Die taklede probeer om elke maand by die Heritage Mall se Pick n Pay-ingang pannekoek te bak en verkoop vir geldinsameling.
Tydens weeklikse sessies vind telkens ’n ander program plaas.
“Ons wys ook dit is moontlik om sonder jou drank of jou dwelms te kuier en te ontspan; om die lewe te geniet sonder afhanklikheidsmiddels.”
Husselmann nooi verslaafdes om die sessies by te woon.
“Deur erkenning en herkenning te gee, is jy klaar ’n oorwinnaar. Ons is almal net mense en een groot familie wat mekaar se laste help dra. Almal leer iets by ander. Dis nie die mense daar buite wat saak maak nie, dis jyself en jou gesin.
“Tel jou kop op en kyk die lewe vierkantig in die oë; lig jou ken en ken jou lig. Onthou, God is die wingerdstok en ons is sy lote.”
) Die Kathu-tak vergader elke Dinsdagaand om 18:30 by Lemoendoringstraat 34.

Verwelkom ‘wêreldreisiger’ in eie midde
Die SolarButterfly, die wêreld se grootste sonkrag-aangedrewe voertuig, is onlangs deur Zero Carbon Charge by sy eerste van die netwerk af en ultra-vinnige elektriese voertuig- (EV) laaistasie buite Wolmaransstad in die Noordwes verwelkom. Die SolarButterfly is ’n Tesla Model X EV wat ’n mobiele huis sleep, wat toegerus is met 40 m² sonpanele. ’n Reis om die wêreld word met die voertuig onderneem om bewustheid te skep oor die bedreiging van aardverwarming en die belangrikheid om van fossielbrandstowwe na hernubare energiebronne oor te skakel. Die reis oor vier jaar het in Mei 2022 begin, en die beplanning is dat ses kontinente en 90 lande teen Desember 2025 besoek sal wees. Dele van Europa, die Verenigde Koninkryk en die Verenigde State is reeds besoek. In Suid-Afrika het die reis op 9 Februarie in Kaapstad begin, en talle bestemmings word besoek voordat dit op 10 Maart in Durban eindig. Die Wolmaransstad-laaistasie is deel van ’n netwerk van 120 laaistasies wat Charge beplan om oor die volgende 18 maande op sleutelroetes oor Suid-Afrika heen, insluitend die Noord-Kaap, te bou.

Truth seems to be in eye of the beholder
A flamboyance of flamingos on Kamfers Dam outside Kimberley. The Diggers Memorial in Oppenheimer Garden in the Diamond City, with five life-sized bronze figures holding a diamond sieve through which water from the fountain cascades.
Photos of these two attractions in its former state, on a recent media briefing report from the Sol Plaatje Municipality, was the cherry on the cake of a string of absurd observations over the past few days.
The irony of the use of these (old) photos by the municipality is that both attractions turned into a sight for sore eyes under its governance.
For several years, flamingos no longer find Kamfers Dam an ideal habitat due to the mismanagement of effluent water into the dam.
The paradise for thousands of migrating flamingos, and a lovely site to visit, is now a growing foulsmelling body of polluted water.
Regarding the Diggers Memorial: In 2020 its metal sieve was stolen; in 2022 one of the bronze figures was removed and parts of it cut off –most possibly to sell as scrap metal.
Apart from this, the basin of the

Ousus en Skoonseun het spesiaal ’n afspraak gemaak om te kom kuier.
Natuurlik is dit altyd lekker wanneer hulle kom kuier, maar hierdie keer was dit ekstra lekker.

fountain was mostly filled with rubbish. Seemingly, nothing was done to protect it and other memorials in the city from the destructive effect of vandalism. The integration of the Oppenheimer Garden into the campus of the Sol Plaatje University (SPU) gives hope, but Steve Lunderstedt, historian and writer, once wrote: “What has been destroyed cannot be undone.”
Also, the cause of the abrupt postponement of the budget speech in Parliament; France’s justice minister’s announcement that inmates may no longer get facial massages; and an article by an early childhood education specialist stating that an increasing number of children are unable to hold a pencil, sit up straight, make friends, or have face-to-face social interaction due to the overuse of screen time are some of the other recent observations causing an uneasy feeling. It is then that the article on why some people believe the earth is flat and global warming a myth, makes perfect sense. Believing in a far less complex theory and shrugging off reality, makes the world a happier and manageable place in your mind.

Skielik is die vooruitsig daar dat die familie in ’n volgende geslag inbeweeg.
Dit is ’n wonderlike gedagte.
Laatlam-kleinsus, wat glad nie meer so jonk is nie, begin sommer dadelik vir die nuweling ’n skilpad hekel.
Die gedagte aan tannie-wees fassineer haar.
Middelsus is opgewonde, want terwyl sy haar troue reël, kan sy
inwerk dat op die gastelys ook ’n gas sal wees waarop sy nie vroeër gereken het nie.
En Ouboet vat sy skielike nuwe rol as oom wat voorlê baie ernstig op en begin met ’n duisend vermanings.
Maar Ousus en Skoonseun, hulle is net gelukkig.

Soveel wel verwag
KARIN MULLER
“Ek het twee woorde vir Mamma,” sê sy. Ek bly roerloos staan en wag.
“Expectation management.”
Ek glimlag.
“Nee, regtig. Mamma verwag te veel van die mensdom.”
Ek skud my kop.
“Nee, ek verskil van jou.”
Ek verwag niks meer of minder van ander mense as wat ek van myself verwag nie.
Boonop, daar is mense van wie ’n mens meer kan verwag. Meer moet verwag. Meer mag verwag. Mense wat baie meer as die gemiddelde mens bereik het en wat soveel geleenthede oor hul pad kry. Mense wat bekend staan as professioneel en suksesvol.
Ek verwag basiese goeie maniere.
Ek verwag dat iemand betyds
sal laat weet as hulle nie ’n afspraak kan bywoon nie of laat gaan wees.
Ek verwag dat iemand ’n e-pos sal beantwoord as ’n vraag gevra word.
Ek verwag respek. Verwag ek te veel?
Hoe gaan die pad vorentoe lyk as elkeen sy maatstaf moet inkort om by ander aan te pas wat nie basiese goeie maniere het nie?
Waar gaan dit eindig?
Iewers moet ’n maatstaf wees wat aandui dat die samelewing nie onder hierdie peil gaan daal nie.
’n Mens kan nie dieselfde van almal verwag nie. Dit is vanselfsprekend. ’n Mens oordeel mense tog volgens hul agtergrond, lewensgehalte, kennis, opvoeding en ondervinding.
Maar daar is diegene van wie ’n mens meer kan verwag. Meer moet verwag. Meer mag verwag.

En ek weet dit is nie in die hande van ’n mens nie, maar is dankbaar vir so ’n vooruitsig.
Ek besef ook weer die verantwoordelikheid dat ons nie moet hoop en krag verloor in ons tyd nie, ’n volgende geslag lê voor.
Ons moet vir die geslagte wat kom, bou en nalaat.
Ek weet daar lê nog 28 lang weke voor, maar skielik lyk môre anders as vandag.
Sussie kies eie koers
GERDA-MARIÉ VAN ROOYEN
Die oggend van Sussie se sesde verjaardag kom sy om 05:00 in haar ouers se kamer ingestorm.
“Good morning! Wakker word, ek verjaar!” jil sy in die skemer. Van daardié oggend af is Sussie nie meer op haar mond geval nie en laat ook nie meer op haar wag nie.
’n Week later wil sy haar speelgoedkis geskuif hê. Rooyma antwoord laks: “Môre,” en stuur ’n skietgebedjie op dat Sussie van haar idee moet vergeet. Nie lank daarna nie kondig Sussie trots aan: “Ek het klaar geskuif.” Rooyma vra verbaas hoe sy dit reggekry het. “Ek is bietjie sterk,” antwoord sy met ’n breë glimlag. Op die eerste dag van gr. R besluit hierdie tuisonderrigleerling sy het nie tyd vir die tradisionele begin-van-die-jaar-
kiekies nie. Sy kondig aan sy het ’n pouse nodig en kies hasepad. Wanneer moet-doen-takies aan die deur klop, is sy voorbereid op ’n antwoord. Kamer skoonmaak: “I am still busy.” Skottelgoed wegpak: “I am so tired, I’m getting dizzy.” Tande borsel: “I am scared. You do it.” Gesig was: “No thanks.” Badwas: “I am not a cleaner, you know.” Haar gunstelingwoorde, “you know,” gebruik sy vol selfvertroue as ’n punt aan die einde van haar sinne. “I want a rainbow on the walls, you know. I’ll show you a rainbow,” en sy swaai ’n boog in die lug met haar arms. “Jy het ses jaar gelede gebid vir ’n selfversekerde dogtertjie,” herinner Rooypa sy vrou gereeld en kry ’n skelm lekkerkryglimlag. Spontane antwoorde, verskonings en skietgebedjies is bewys dat die Rooykinders altyd verras, of jy daarvoor bid of nie.
Learners equipped to combat crime, social ills
In a first for the Northern Cape, nearly 200 learners of the Tetlanyo High School and the Emang Mmogo Comprehensive School in Galeshewe, Kimberley, completed the Safer South Africa Foundation’s (SSAF) flagship Criminal Justice Programme (CJP).
The CJP educates high school learners on the consequences of crime, while fostering partnerships between young people, law enforcement, and community stakeholders to combat crime and social ills. It empowers youngsters
with knowledge about the justice system and fosters a culture of responsibility, anti-crime, and antigangsterism.
Retired Lt. Col Abraham Tsoone, the SSAF’s newly-appointed Northern Cape coordinator, expressed his pride in the programme’s debut in the province during the certificate ceremony at the Tetlanyo High School on 20 February.
“The Kimberley area is plagued by serious social challenges such as gangsterism, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, and contact crimes
like assault. These problems are deeply embedded in the social fabric of the community and often spill over into our schools.
“This is a proud moment to see young people commit themselves to turning the tide,” said Tsoone.
Through the CJP, the SSAF collaborates with stakeholders in the criminal justice sector. These include the South African Police Service (SAPS), Correctional Service, Traffic Department, Department of Basic Education, and the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC)

NK-model pryk in NY
Cleantha Koetzee, ’n model van Upington, was in Februarie in New York waar sy modelwerk tydens die New York Fashion Week (NYFW) gedoen het.
Die 16-jarige skoonheid is reeds vir agt jaar ’n model by die Dawrette Heyns Modelakademie en is ’n leerling aan die Hoërskool Carlton van Heerden in Upington.
In Oktober 2023 het sy tydens ’n Show Your Talent-kompetisie kwalifiseer om in 2024 in New York te gaan deelneem. Hiertydens het sy verskeie titels, medaljes en trofeë gewen, en is sy gekies om by die NYFW in 2025 modelwerk te doen wat as ’n lewensveranderende ervaring beskou word.
Die NYFW is een van die grootste geleenthede in die modebedryf en word twee maal per jaar – in Februarie en September –aangebied. Hiertydens wys ontwerpers van oor die wêreld heen hul nuutste versamelings en dit word deur modelle, bekendes en mode-geesdriftiges van oor die wêreld heen bygewoon.
Modelle vir die NYFW is deur Show your Talent en Runway Model Events gekies, en Cleantha was een van hulle, sê Heyns. Sy vertel dat die NYFW ’n uitstekende platform is om vars talent te ontdek, en dat hierdie geleentheid deure vir modelle oopmaak.

Leer meer, neem deel
In enige klassituasie is daar kinders wat nie deelneem nie terwyl hulle in groot groepe ingedeel is.
Twee hoofredes bestaan hiervoor, sê Lizette van Huyssteen namens die Afrikaanse Onderwys Netwerk (AON) op Afrikaans.com.
) Verspreiding van verantwoordelikheid: Alle mense voel minder verantwoordelik om deel te neem of standpunt in te neem terwyl hulle in ’n groot groep is. Dit word die toeskouer-effek genoem.
) Die vrees om negatief beoordeel te word: Kinders kan om verskeie redes bang wees dat ander vir hulle sal lag of negatief sal beoordeel wanneer hulle iets verkeerd sê.
Verhoog deelname
) Laat kinders in die klaskamer in een-toteen situasies en in klein groepies oefen om deel te neem. Dit ontwikkel selfvertroue en waagmoed.
) Gesels met individuele kinders op ’n ontspanne manier. Vra vrae oor hul werk, iets waarmee hulle besig is, wat hulle beplan, en hoe hulle voel oor wat hulle doen en leer.
) Bied aktiwiteite in klein groepies aan om onderlinge gesprekvoering aan te moedig. Wys soms vooraf vir een kind hoe ’n aktiwiteit of speletjie werk sodat hy of sy as instrukteur optree of jou helper kan wees.
) Gee opdragte wat kinders twee-twee moet uitvoer. Groepeer kinders wat nog onseker is, met ander wat selfvertroue het, en skep ’n omgewing van aanvaarding waarin kinders nie toegelaat word om te lag vir iemand anders wat ’n fout maak nie.
) Speel tuis opvoedkundige speletjies met die kinders. Wanneer twee of drie saam speel is die onus op elke speler om aktief deel te neem wanneer dit sy of haar beurt is.
) Leer kinders tuis hoe om verantwoordelikheid te aanvaar, saam te werk, frustrasie en konflik te hanteer, ’n eie mening te formuleer en taakgerig op te tree. Dit is ’n praktiese manier om hulle te leer om vir hulself te dink en hulself as deelnemers te leer ken. – Afrikaans.com

SPU showing resilience in narrow defeat Fighting till the end
A last-minute try sealed the win of 22 – 20 for the visiting team of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in the Varsity Shield encounter with the Sol Plaatje University (SPU) on a wet Suzuki Stadium in Kimberley on Friday, 21 February.
In the first half, SPU struggled with discipline, conceding multiple penalties, but managed to get on the board before halftime with a Khanya Kama penalty, making it 8 – 3 at the break, as is stated in a press release from FNB Varsity Shield.
SPU came out firing in the second half, with Tyron China diving over the try line in the 41st minute, and Kama’s conversion putting them ahead by 10 – 8.
CPUT quickly responded, reclaiming the lead at 15 – 10.
Aviwe Mpepo’s try and another Kama conversion in the 52nd minute saw SPU regain control by 17 – 15. Kama extended their lead to 20 – 15 with a penalty in the 57th minute. With time running out, CPUT’s persistence paid off as the whitewash was crossed in the 74th minute, and a conversion secured a 22 – 20 victory.
Romeo Syfers, chairperson of the Frances Baard Rugby Region, commented on behalf of the executive committee, that the SPU team shown resilience, despite the narrow defeat in challenging weather conditions against CPUT.
“As the rain fell, the teams stepped onto the field, but it was clear that the weather would play a pivotal role in the match. The SPU players, who are not accustomed to such conditions, struggled with handling errors early on, which proved costly as CPUT capitalised on their opportunities.
Despite this, the spirit of SPU shone through,” Syfers commented, saying as the game progressed, SPU began to find its rhythm.
“We showed a lot of heart today,” said team captain, Sello Maketlo.
“While we didn’t get the result we wanted, we learned a lot about ourselves and what we need to improve. I’m proud of how we fought until the end.”
Mpepo was announced as the FNB Player that Rocks.
On the field were SPU players Mpepo, China, Kama, Jan Potgieter,
2025: Year of women’s chess
Chess South Africa (Chess SA) declared 2025 as the Year of Women’s Chess, saying this initiative will be implemented with the support of the World Chess Federation’s (FIDE) Women’s Commission.
According to Chess SA, women’s chess has been historically neglected, recognising that its vision “Chess Belongs to Everyone” cannot be fulfilled unless a more inclusive, safe, and supportive environment for women and girls in chess is created.
Gayton McKenzie, minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, emphasised the importance of gender equality in sport, stating that for too long women have struggled to be seen in sports.
A study in 2008 revealed that female chess players often experience lower expectations from peers and coaches, leading to decreased
