REITZ (Bethlehem): The former mayor of the Nketoana Local Municipality in the Free State, Mandla Mamba, was found guilty of tender fraud and corruption on Monday 21 September 2021, along with his two co-accused. Mamba and the municipality’s former chief financial officer (CFO), Vincent Mkhefa, as well as Caroline Nketu, were convicted by the Bethlehem Serious Commercial Crime Court for fraud, money laundering and contravening the Municipal Finance Management Act. Their conviction originates from a 2011 complaint lodged with the Hawks by a whistleblower who alleged tender fraud and corruption committed at the municipality involving the installation of playground equipment in local parks. Police spokesperson Captain Christopher Singo said the trio were accused of not adhering to the municipality’s procurement procedures for the project. Mamba requested Nketu – a service provider who was not attached to the procurement – to provide a quotation for the playground equipment. Nketu then submitted the quotation for the amount of R32,000 and later delivered the equipment. She was subsequently paid by the municipality for the services that she rendered. “During the same period, Nketu was also requested to provide quotations for the same tender contract. “Two quotations were then submitted for the amount of R198,500 each. Mkhefa authorised two payments to Nketu for the amount of R165,600 and R198,500 on two different occasions. No services were rendered by Nketu to the municipality,” Singo said in a statement on Tuesday. “It was also discovered that Nketu paid R100,000 on two different occasions to Mamba. As a result of these fraudulent activities, the municipality suffered a total loss of more than R364,000.” The case was postponed to 7 December for sentencing.

FATAL CRASH NEAR REITZ

■ WILLEM VENTER

Our God is an awesome GOD! Dalk het jy daardie liedjie ook al vele kere gesing. Ek en vroulief het die naweek 'n boodskap opgeneem met hierdie tema, en ons wou God se Grootheid beskryf, maar o wee, hoe meer ons die Here met woorde wou beskryf, hoe meer het ons besef dat daar nie genoeg woorde is nie, want dit het die heeltyd gevoel of ons nog nie regtig dáár is nie, en nie met ons beperkte woordeskat sy Grootheid regtig beskryf nie.

Toe begin ek dink oor woorde. Woorde wat met maksimum 26 letters gevorm word. Eintlik minder, want in Afrikaans is daar 'n paar letters wat bykans nooit gebruik word nie. Dink nou vir jouself watse woorde met 26 letters (in ons alfabet) gevorm word en waar dit gebruik word. Skrywers gebruik daardie letters om die mees onbeskryflike verhale te skryf, die digkuns is een van daardie plekke waar daardie letters uiters kreatief gebruik word, en so is daar miljoene liedere wat met net daardie 26 letters gesing word, en die idees raak net nie op nie. Meer as 40 skrywers het oor 'n tydperk van ongeveer 1600 jaar die inhoud van die Bybel in woorde neergepen vir ons, sodat ons God kan leer ken. Die gesproke woord kan jou in vervoering bring as daardie woorde gebruik word om liefde te verklaar. Hoe mooi is die eenvoudige 5 woorde nie as dit sê: Ek is lief vir jou. So min letters met soveel krag! Maar ai, het die mens nie die vermoë ontwikkel om daardie selfde letters te skommel en woorde (wat individueel mooi woorde kan wees) te vorm wat vervloek, uitskel, slegsê, afbreek en mense tot in die afgrond te beskinder nie! Hoeveel mense (selfs kinders) het al hulle eie lewe geneem oor 26 letters wat verkeerd aangewend word? Hoe kragtig kan spraak nie wees nie! "Met die tong loof ons die Here en Vader, en met die tong vloek ons die mense wat as die beeld van God gemaak is. Uit dieselfde mond kom lof en vloek. My broers, so moet dit nie wees nie." (Jak. 3:9-10) Sjoe, wat 'n aanklag! Natuurlik ook teen my. Dit lyk vir my 26 letters is genoeg om oorlog te laat uitbreek, vriendskappe te vernietig, mense te vertrap en mense se lewens fisies te verwoes. Dis verskriklik! Maar weereens, as ek die Here se grootheid wil beskryf raak die woorde op. 'n Paar wat by my opkom is: ongelooflik, awesome, onbeskryflik, onoortreflik, fantasties, wonderlik, groots, bokant my begrip, perfek, lieflik, soewerein... En hier sit ek weer en hardloop uit woorde uit as ek Hom probeer beskryf. Al hierdie woorde raak iets aan van sy grootsheid, maar daar kort meer, meer woorde en dalk meer letters. Voel jou hart nie ook soms so vol as jy met Hom besig is nie? Daar is vele liedere om Hom te loof en prys, baie boeke geskryf, biljoene gebede gebid en biljoene woorde van dank uitgespreek. Maar vandag wil ek net 'n paar woorde uitspreek as ek sê: Here, ek het U lief!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians

RAADSLID HELEEN MULLER VAN NKETOANA SÊ: “BASTA MET ONS GEVAARLIKE PAAIE!”

 Corné van Noordwyk FOTO’S: Raadslid Heleen Muller besig om self ‘n veiliger en beter toekoms te skep vir die inwoners en motoriste van Nketoana. Sy het self ‘n graaf gevat en werkers gehelp werk. (Facebook)

REITZ: ‘n Raadslid van die VF-Plus in Nketoana, Heleen Muller het op Maandag 21 September 2021 in ‘n media verklaring gesê: “Na volgehoue druk deur die VF-Plus gaan herstelwerk aan die R707-pad (Petrus Steyn / Lindley) voort.

Volgens Muller is dit weens gebrekkige instandhouding onder die ANC, wat die pad 'n groot veiligheidsrisiko vir motoriste inhou. Verder sê sy ook in haar verklaring dat daar twee skoolbusse daagliks moet ry van Lindley na Petrus Steyn en Boere in die distrik lewer jaarliks soveel as 20 000 ton rooivleis, maar vind dit moeiliker om hul produkte te vervoer. Sy bevestig dat die VF-Plus alreeds verskeie versoeke in die verband in die Vrystaatse Wetgewer geëis het dat herstelwerk dringend en genoodsaak is om gedoen te word. Sy moedig kiesers aan om op 1 November die regte keuse te maak by stem-lokale vir ‘n beter Nketoana. As jy stem, staan jy saam op teen die verval en vir ‘n beter toekoms. Raadslid Heleen Muller van Nketoana Plaaslike munisipaliteit kan vir navrae gekontak word op 082 493 6389.

Vir die rekord ■ CORNÉ VAN NOORDWYK HOEKOM MOET ÉK GAAN STEM? Ek hoop julle het van die geleentheid gebruik gemaak om die naweek by ‘n lokaal te gaan registreer, sodat julle, soos miljoene ander Suid Afrikaners gehoorsaam kan gaan stem? Ek kry myself toe Saterdag oggend mense wat nog nie gaan registreer het, of nie gestem het vantevore, hulle aanspoor om tóg te gaan.

Ek het ‘n paar mense bygestaan met die aanlyn registrasie proses en kan uit die 60 kere wat ek aanlyn probeer het , slegs geslaag het met ‘n paar wat ek letterlik op my een hand kan tel.

“Gaan julle registreer om te stem?” vra ek so paar van my vriende en een antwoord my ewe oortuigend: “Ja, ek het geregistreer, maar ek gaan nie stem nie! Ek wil hê die regering moet voel hoe dit voel as jy leë beloftes maak!” …Ek vat dit toe maar van wie dit kom en hoop maar tog hy sal sy “mindset” verander. ‘n Ander verduidelik hoe werk dit as iemand NIE gaan stem nie, en sy antwoord (formule) was oortuigend… vir my. As tien gaan stem, 6 vir party groen, twee vir party rooi en twee vir party blou, wen party groen met 60% stemme. Gestel een van die 10 besluit om NIE te gaan stem nie. Ses uit 9 stem groen, 1 (nou weet ons wie is die sonnebok) stem vir rooi en 2 vir blou.

Groen het dan 66.6% van die stemme? Gaan maak maar jou eie somme. Klim uit hierdie gedagte uit DAT JOU STEM NIE TEL NIE, elke persoon wat NIE gaan stem, maak iemand anders se stemme meer waardevol en dis dalk ‘n party wat dit nie verdien nie. Sien jou dus op 1 November 2021 by ‘n stemlokaal!

■ THARINE HURTER

Iewers tussen nêrens, êrens, doer en de hel in gone, blom die dorre wêreld van die Namakwa vanjaar met sy Josefskleed in geel, blou, pienk, pers en die Plascon-kleurwiel. Pronktyd na 'n dorre mensbeproewende droogte. Ek, my beeldskone blom, Kaitlin en altyd klassieke ma, Jacoba Van Wyk Hurter het 'n 6-dag begeleide toer saam met Namakwa-toere meegemaak. Wat 'n belewenis was dit nie! Name van blomme kan ek nie onthou nie, maar die ingeprente landskap met spatsels en velde kleur sal my altyd bybly. Die sentkannetjie blom net een keer na sewe jaar en vrek dan. Bababoudjies kruip langs klippe vir die mens se platpoot weg. Alle plante beskerm hulself op die Skepper se unieke manier. Rooi- bly weg! Weeskindertjies bedel vir die regte insekte en maak oopbek om bestuif te word. Katsterte laat Van Gogh se palet van geel vol in blom soos goud in die son skitter. Kokerbome pronk in 'n dorre woud. Dié jaar se plooie in die stam sal volgende jaar van vet druppels in 2020/21 getuig. Ons ry en ry. Elke bultjie bring 'n nuwe verrassing. Hulle sê rooibos is goed en gesond. Ek soek moerse trekkers en implemente, maar die toergids borrel van vooruitgang. In my stilligheid herinner dié inheemse tee my aan maagwerkings en allergiese babatjies. Vygies, viooltjies, witsoê (wit daisy), aandblomme orals maak oop. Die weer speel saam. Ek verstaan die liefde vir blomme al te goed. Klein dorpies, gehuggies en plekkies is dalk nie eens waardig om op die padkaart aan te dui nie, maar blommetyd oes die Namakwalanders met roosterkoes, dik pannekoek en 'n skoot in die lug met myns insiens bietjie duur pryse. Mike Spies sê in die Namakwa, Hantam, Knersvlakte en omgewing is 'n stad die plek met 'n KFC en Pep, 'n dorp net 'n Pep en waar net 'n paar huise is, is dit wel, net 'n plek. Misdaad is glo gering en toeriste ondersteun 'n sukkelende oopbek wat Afrikaans besig om tog net nie nog 'n Sassa-parasiet te word nie. In die bussie is net vroue. Die getroudes word afsonderlik van die weduwees en geskeides in 'n bus apart gehou. Etenstye gluur geringdes jou aan en hul mans vermy oogkontak. Ons lag oor ditjies en datjies en kyk uit vir pienk marshmallows. Ja man, daai pienk blomplant. Dis 'n storie vir 'n ander dag. Namakwa se gasvryheid kry gestalte in die lekkerste en grootste verskeidenheid kos by Namakwa Lodge op VanRhynsdorp. 'n Moét vir elke Suid-Afrikaner om blomtyd te beleef. Reis is kos vir 'n mens se siel. Terug by die huis groet my appelkoosboom met sy bloeisels en mt viervoete is té bly. Die week weg het sy dosis Mnr Moeilikheid by die voordeur laat klop.

Kaitlin word van haar kamera in haar Stellenbosch-woonstel deur 'n boef beroof. Haar blomfoto's is als verlore. Ek, maltrap ekke, vergeet my selfoon by die hotel. Gelukkig kon my tegnologies-gevorderde seun dit met "find my phone" opspoor. Drie dae kontakloos voel soos tronkstraf. Ek sal die kiekies van die toer hieronder deel. My heimat bly ou stukkende Kroonstad. Gaan weg, verken en bewonder, maar my ou plek is maar net daar waar ek wil wees.

Keep your heart healthy and help others do the same…

World Heart Day is celebrated on 29th September of every year. It is aimed at drawing people’s attention to heart illness and the range of associated health issues. The day is commemorated to promote different preventative steps and changes in lifestyle to avoid any cardiovascular diseases, like heart attack, stroke, heart failure and any other condition related to the same. On average, more than 17 million people die from heart-related illnesses every year. This is a more than that of people who die from HIV, malaria, and cancer. History of World Heart Day: It was launched in 2000 by the World Heart Federation as an annual event that was planned to be taking place every last Sunday of September. However, they decided to fix it on every 29th day of September and it has been celebrated on that day ever since. Customs and Celebrations: Both governmental and nongovernmental organisations celebrate this day from all over the globe. They do this by organising activities like marathons, walks, public talks, fitness sessions, exhibitions and science fairs. Some landmarks, monuments, and famous buildings choose to go red on this day as a show of cardiovascular disease awareness. Any person interested in celebrating this day is advised to do so by being more attentive to their heart health. There are several ways one can do that, including partaking in physical exercises, stopping smoking, quitting alcohol and starting eating a healthy diet. Also, have your heart, blood pressure and cholesterol checked frequently. How to Get Involved: There are numerous ways you can get involved apart from taking part in the events. You can plan your own event or share tips and encouraging messages on social media. Keep your heart healthy and help others do the same.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Elections

■ CORNÉ VAN NOORDWYK

2021

Dear Fellow South African, We have just finished the final voter registration weekend ahead of the local government elections on 1 November. As I met with residents in parts of Gauteng and Mpumalanga over the weekend, what struck me most was the importance of local government being accessible, visible and above all, reachable. This is particularly important when service delivery challenges, disruptions, or failures occur. Citizens often complain that in the lead up to elections, ward councillors, candidates and officials are energetic, interacting with communities and listening to their concerns. However, once elections have passed, they either disappear or it becomes difficult to reach them. A number of people in the communities I visited told me that municipalities are slow to attend to their problems, don’t keep communities updated about disruptions, and when services are cut off for non-payment, fail to inform them of their options in a manner or language they understand. A case in point is that of electricity. This has become the foremost pressing issue for communities around the country. Unfairly penalised: Speaking to people in areas in Soweto, it was evident that anger and frustration over having their electricity cut-off could have been avoided had ongoing interactions with communities been embarked upon around issues such as illegal electricity connections, the vandalisation of electricity substations, and the benefits of a prepaid electricity system. Many people also felt that they were being unfairly penalised because of the non-payment of others. Over the last 20 years, we have provided a set of free basic services to millions of poor and indigent families. But for services to be sustainable, it is necessary that residents pay for what they use above the free basic amount. What I found is that many communities were not aware of exactly how much free water and electricity is provided to poor households. Following engagement with a number of community leaders on how the challenges that people face with regard to electricity can be resolved and how people can also work with municipalities and Eskom to resolve the problem, I found a profound level of understanding and willingness to pay for services that are utilised. When people are deprived of the basic services without proper explanation of why this has happened or how it is being fixed, it erodes public confidence in local government. Sometimes people think that the only way to get the attention of those tasked with the provision of services is through violent protest. The latest data from the Public Violence and Protest Monitor produced by the Institute for Security Studies shows that of the 585 water and sanitation service delivery protests recorded between January 2013 and April 2021, 65% turned violent. The study shows that good and regular communication between municipalities and communities around planned disruptions and when they will be resolved prevented violence in a number of cases.

Democratic and accountable: Our Constitution says that in the provision of services to communities in a sustainable manner, local government must be democratic and accountable. This means that elected public representatives need to be out in communities, listening to their concerns and resolving their problems. A common refrain from communities, and something I heard again over the weekend, is that engagement with ward councillors starts off well, but diminishes steadily over time. Accountable local government means maintaining a sustained public presence and an open door policy, not just when election time comes around. Services must be delivered and allocated budgets must be spent. When this does not happen as planned, elected officials must clearly explain why and show how and when problems will be fixed. Democratic accountability extends to the conduct of citizens as well. During the weekend’s engagement with communities, I called on people not to undermine service delivery themselves by making illegal connections or damaging infrastructure. Earlier this year, during Freedom Day celebrations, I said that communities must use their vote to deal with councillors with poor track records of meeting their promises. It is at local government level where our commitment to advancing human rights is measured the most. Water, electricity, sanitation, housing, education and health care are the things people need most to have a decent quality of life. Where local government fails to meet these needs, the impact is immediate and profound. We must rebuild trust: But when local government is efficient and well-run, it provides the foundation people need to improve their living standards and find opportunities. Just as citizens should use their vote to improve their communities, I also wish to encourage those standing for election to listen to what people are saying about engaging with them more effectively and more often. We share the common goal of a better life for all. Regardless of which political party we support, belong to or are campaigning for, let us together work to rebuild trust and improve communication. Let us agree that this election will not merely be about securing the most votes, but will be fundamentally about the people of South Africa and ensuring that their best interests are placed above all else. With best regards. Cyril Ramaphosa.

Hyundai Staria Load Van Revealed The replacement for the Hyundai H1 van has been announced and it looks futuristic and unusual. Meet the Hyundai Staria Load van!

Pictures: Hyundai SA

The Hyundai Staria was unveiled in early 2021 and everyone was stunned by its futuristic looks. The best part was Hyundai South Africa confirming the passenger Staria was confirmed for local introduction by the end of 2021, so we’re keeping tabs on its local debut. Now on the commercial side of things, the Staria Load has been revealed, switching from its people-carrying role to cargo. Despite its

The main selling point of this vehicle will be the cargo space. The Hyundai Staria Load is claimed to take 3 Euro-spec palettes, which in comparison to the outgoing H1 is an improvement as it could only muster 2 Euro-spec palettes.

If you base your cargo-measuring capacity in liters, the Hyundai Staria Load offers 4 935 liters in comparison to the H1’s 4 426 liters. Despite it being a commercial vehicle, the Staria Load still comes with a considerable amount of standard features and safety equipment.

There are 7 airbags, keyless entry, electronic parking brake, while on the connectivity side of things, there’s wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a wireless charging pad. Hyundai Staria SA Intro? Hyundai South Africa has confirmed the people-carrying Staria will be touching down in SA before the end of 2021, with estimations of a November introduction. At this point, we expect the Korean giant to offer this commercial Staria too if its past strategy with the H1 is anything to go by.

futuristic looks, this is the production vehicle and Hyundai Australia is already taking orders for it. The Hyundai Staria Load is available in two configurations: a 2-seater van or a 5-seater crew van with customers being able to choose a standard hatchback-style tailgate or the traditional twin doors.

Being a commercial van, color choice is not a priority and there’s just silver or white on offer.

WHY NOT TAKE IT OFF-ROAD TO CLOCOLAN…

Groenkloof 4x4 is in a valley at the foot of Viervoetberg, in the Eastern Free State near the small town Clocolan. The farm offers tracks for quad bikes, mountain bikes and 4x4s.

The tracks cross each other but are clearly marked so that nobody gets lost. The 4x4 trail is set along a sandstone cliff and heads to the top of a plateau. The trail splits at the top of the plateau. The trail grading is 2 to 3. You will be asked to deflate your tyres to 1.5 bar and so it is recommended that you bring your compressor along. The trail is 21 km long and takes about 4.5 hours to complete. If you like bass fishing, take your rod along! Please call for further information as the exact GPS coordinates are unknown. A fee is charged.
