erekende sakeman, Schalk van Dyk is verlede Donderdag in die ouderdom van 82 jaar oorlede terwyl hy in die hospitaal aangesterk het na ‘n liesbreukoperasie. Hy het ‘n BSc-graad aan die Universiteit van Pretoria en daarna ‘n onderwysdiploma aan die destydse Normaalkollege Pretoria verwerf waarna hy ‘n paar jaar skoolgehou het en later as dosent by die destydse Pretoria Tegniese Kollege aangestel is. Ná sy troue het hy heeltyds in die Harrismith omgewing
gaan boer en het ook later ‘n vulstasiekompleks buite Harrismith bedryf. Van Dyk het van 1955 tot 1958 in 26 wedstryde vir die NoordTransvaalse Rugbyspan as agsteman gespeel en het bekendheid verwerf toe hy die wendrie in die Curriebekerwedstryd teen Natal in 1956 gedruk het en sy span ‘n naelskraapse oorwinning van 9-8 besorg het. Sy jare lange vriend, Peet van Zyl onthou nog hoe die kaptein van die wenspan so opgewonde was oor die oorwinning dat hy die skeidsregter omhels het. Hy het daarna in 28 wedstryde vir die Vrystaat gespeel en was in 1960 lid van die enigste provinsiale span
wat die All Blacks die loef afgesteek het. Hy het ook vir die SA Barbarians gespeel. Van Dyk het hom in 1998 in Polokwane gevestig en die Ranch Star Stop vulstasie begin en vir 14 jaar bedryf. Die besigheid het hy net voor sy 80ste verjaardag verkoop en afgetree. Hy was ook ‘n aandeelhouer van die Pietersburgklub en het twee oorsese rugbyondersteunerstoere saam met Van Zyl en ander vriende onderneem. Hy word deur ‘n seun, Deon en ‘n dogter, Michelle Young oorleef. ‘n Herinneringsdiens is gister (Woensdag) by die Pietersburgklub vir Van Dyk gehou.
Schalk van Dyk is verlede week oorlede.
Water SOS From page 1 Among them were Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs (Coghsta) MEC Makoma Makurupetje, Polokwane Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng, the five executive mayors of district municipalities in the province and their municipal managers, said Premier’s spokesperson Kenny Mathivha. He told Polokwane Observer the team would be meeting bi-weekly and had to come up with a rescue plan before the end of the year. He indicated alarm was raised on the looming crisis faced by the city of Polokwane, which ran the risk of being left without water resources within the next six years if nothing was done to save the situation. He added that the meeting was informed that Lepelle Northern Water had a plan in place with regards to wa-
ter supply to Polokwane but it required costing and funding. The problem arising from local municipalities owing the board multi-millions for services rendered was another challenge leading to a proposed strategy to address the need for understanding that the provision of water had to be paid for. The task team also had to come up with a strategy to work with the Police to permanently deal with the problem emanating from municipal borehole pumps being stolen, according to Mathivha who said it took six months to replace stolen equipment. It is believed the scenario leads to dissatisfaction on the side of community members. Another issue to receive attention was the supply of water to communities around Nandoni Dam in the Thohoyandou area, Mathivha mentioned.
The national Department of Water and Sanitation represented in the meeting had committed themselves to ensuring financial requirements were brought into consideration in future medium term budgets to avoid situations where unspent budgetary portions were returned to National Treasury in the absence of plans in place for municipal implementation, he explained. The Premier further instructed the investigation of Waterberg District Municipality not having a licence for rendering water-related services despite the local municipalities resorting under its umbrella and the four remaining district municipalities in the province being in possession of such licences, Mathivha said. The issue of outstanding water licences had to be dealt with within the next two months, he concluded.

Matriekleerder sterf in soveelste motorfietsongeluk Van bl 1 Een van die ander twee leerders is ook verlede jaar in ‘n motorfietsongeluk oorlede.” Van Rooyen was met sy motorfiets in Jorissenstraat onderweg toe hy deur ‘n Jeep vanuit ‘n dwarsstraat getref en van sy motorfiets geslinger is. Plaaslike motorvoertuigbotsingdeskundige, Phillip Smit het inligting rakende die rigting van beweging van die Jeep Cherokee en Honda motorfiets bevestig. Die fisiese bewyse - skuurmerke op die teerpadoppervlak en die verplasing van beskadigde voertuigkomponente - bevestig dat die motorfiets in Jorissenstraat van
Dorp- na Compensatiestraat onderweg was. Die vroulike bestuurder van die Jeep beweer sy het, teenstrydig met die spesialisbevinding, ten tye van die botsing in Jorissenstraat gery. Volgens Smit het sy in Compensatiestraat in die baan van die aankomende motorfiets inbeweeg. Sy het ook probeer verhoed dat foto’s op die toneel geneem word en het eers na sowat ‘n uur haar weergawe gegee. ‘n Ooggetuie het Woensdag aan Polokwane Observer gesê dat sy gesien het dat die bestuurder van die Jeep geen poging aangewend het om die stopteken te gehoorsaam nie.
Hendrien van der Wath, JJ se graadvoog sê: “Hy was ‘n baie vriendelike, spontane en verantwoordelike kind wat baie goed motorfiets gery het en nie kanse gevat het nie. Op sy ondeunde manier was hy ‘n ondersteunende vriend wat baie pret saam met sy maats gehad het.” Sy ouers en pleegouers sê: “JJ was ‘n sonskynkind wat almal altyd laat lag het. Hy het baie na die komende matriekafskeid uitgesien en was vol planne oor wat hy volgende jaar na skool wil doen.” Teen druktyd was die finale begrafnisreëlings nog nie getref nie.
