Jailbirds need help!

This year’s “jailbirds” participating in the SPCA Louis Trichardt’s annual Jailed & Bailed fundraiser, are definitely going the extra mile to raise some much-needed cash for this voluntary organisation. Husband-and-wife team Kevin en Roeline Alberts paid a brief visit to the offices of the Zoutpansberger on Wednesday morning, locked up in the back of a bakkie, as part of their effort to convince people to contribute to the “bail” to get them released.

The fundraiser was launched on 1 February and will continued until 13 February. Apart from Kevin and Roeline, there are 11 other “jailbirds” and residents are urged to support them. If they can collect their bail of R5 000, they will be able to be “home” in time for Valentine’s Day. Local SPCA spokesperson Alicia Thomas said that they are truly overwhelmed by the support the fundraiser is getting and the efforts of the jailbirds to collect funds.

Makhado and Vhembe remain vague about “power cut” to water plant (Contd from P1) He responded a second time stating: “We are not aware.”

In the meantime, the Zoutpansberger also asked the VDM spokesperson, Mr Matodzi Ralushai, if he had seen the DA statement and if he could comment on the allegation that the electricity supply was cut due to their non-payment of electricity accounts. His response was, to say the least, extremely vague. He indicated that he has seen the DA statement and that the VDM and Makhado Municipality are working on the problem.

“The two institutions are committed to ensure that all processes to ensure that residents get water are adhered to and any problem get the necessary attention,” Ralushai said. He was again asked to clarify whether or not electricity

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “Ons weet dat ons oorgegaan het uit die dood in die lewe, omdat ons die broeders liefhet”. 1 Johannes 3:14.

O

ns kan weet dat ons kinders van God is.

Hoe kan ons weet? Deur onsself aan die Woord van God te toets.

In ons teksvers word een standaard aangedui: Liefde vir mede-gelowiges.

Hierdie wêreld was donker en somber, totdat Christus op die toneel verskyn het. Die boodskap van sy liefde het ‘n ligglans laat uitstraal wat hoop aan baie gebied het. En as die wêreld ooit beter sal word, sal dit deur die krag van sy liefde wees. Die mensdom smag na liefde.

Die liefde van God is bonatuurlik. Dit volhard, al is daar nie wederliefde nie. Ons sien hierdie liefde in Christus wat vir ons gesterf het.

Bely jy om ‘n Christen te wees? Indien jy weergebore is, het jy lief, jy het lief al word jy geminag? Jy het hulle lief wat jou vervolg.

Jy het hulle lief wat jou vals beskuldig. Jy het hulle lief wat bytende dinge van jou sê.

Waarom?

Omdat die liefde van God in jou hart woon. Ja, jy kan weet dat jy oorgegaan het uit die dood in die lewe.

- Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

supply to the treatment plant and pump stations was cut due to their non-payment of accounts.

Ralushai avoided a direct answer, merely stating that: “The two institutions always engage if there are matters that [need] intervention … even [the] issues you raised [form] part of that administrative responsibility”.

The Zoutpansberger then managed to obtain copies of the three “Special Termination Notices” issued by the Makhado Municipality against the Vhembe District Municipality for Erf Nr 91 0001 0000 (indicated as ‘Albasini Kampong’) for 31 January this year. The notice numbers are 6637 (for an outstanding amount of R17 640.22),

6638 (for and outstanding amount of R5 506 748.23) and 6639 (for an outstanding amount of R8 096 672.75).

Armed with these three notices, the Zoutpansberger asked Bobodi to reconsider his response that the municipality was not aware of the issue.

His response was again extremely vague and confusing. “It is a standard procedure that we issue notices to whoever owes the municipality, and issuing notices doesn’t not mean that we will cut,” said Bobodi. Bobodi was again asked to just confirm whether or not they had cut the electricity supply to the treatment plant and pump stations. To this he responded: “We did issue

notices as per standard protocol to all those who are owing us without particularising. We still have to issue them to whoever default to make payments,” Bobodi said.

So at this stage it would seem that the Makhado Municipality might or might not have cut the electricity supply on 31 January. They might or might not have issued the above-mentioned notices and they might or might not have made an arrangement with the VDM for payment of their outstanding account. The Makhado Municipality might or might also not know about the whole issue, but judging by theirs and the VDM’s response, they know exactly what is going on.

the clubs’ lease agreements were served on the affected clubs. The notices stated that the decision to terminate the lease agreements was made because the terms of the existing agreements do not promote the objects of Section 152 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa that facilities should be available to all communities.

The Council also argued that the amount of R10 per year (with a 10% escalation per annum) payable by the lessee agreed upon just before the new democratic dispensation took over was done in bad faith and was not market related.

The clubs were given six months notice that their contracts would be terminated.

The affected clubs responded by forming the Louis Trichardt Sport Chairpersons Association. The association declared their intention to oppose the Makhado Municipality’s intentions in court and each club was asked to contributed financially to help cover the legal costs. Louis Trichardt attorney Dr Suwil Rudolph was asked to assist the clubs and in October last year Adv Piet van Niekerk and Adv Stephanie Green met with representatives of the clubs to discuss the way forward. The general feeling was that this matter is sure to make its way to the High Court.

During the meeting, it was stated that the only way that the affected clubs would be forced to vacate their premises would be if the municipality obtained a court order. The clubs would then need to oppose such an application.

For the last couple of months the issue has

been somewhat quiet. That was until last week Wednesday when Dr Rudolph met with representatives of the municipality to discuss the issue.

Rudolph afterwards communicated to the clubs that the municipality wanted to know if they can negotiate regarding rent. “I explained to them that every club is unique and each would have to make their own submission. If no agreement is reached, then arbitration should take place,” said Rudolph. He added that the municipality confirmed that their valuer has already determined a rent amount for each club based on the property value.

Regarding the property value, Rudolph, asked the municipality what they are going to do about improvements made to the properties by the clubs themselves. “They have not reneged on their intention to terminate and I asked them to first go and decide what they want to do. It is futile to talk about rent if they plan to terminate the agreements,” said Rudolph.

Rudolph said that the municipality did enquire about the value of improvements on premises and whether clubs would vacate the properties if they are paid out for that.

“My answer was that it would be a counter claim, should they continue and win the case.

They then wanted to know why we oppose termination and I answered them that they will find out in court,” said Rudolph. He concluded that the issue has again been referred to Council and they are now awaiting the municipality’s response.

Municipality and clubs still at loggerheads Eleven amateur sport clubs making use of municipal infrastructure in Louis Trichardt are still in the dark as to their future. It seems as if the Makhado Municipality is pushing ahead with its plans to try and terminate the 99-year lease agreements with these clubs.

The decision to terminate the contracts was taken during the 159th virtual special council meeting of the Makhado Municipality on Monday, 31 May, 2021. Following the Council decision, notices of their intention to terminate

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 11 FEBRUARIE 2022

Tafeltjie dalk nie soveel werd as wat oom Peet gehoop het Deur Andries van Zyl Die Zoutpansberger het die afgelope week hulle ondersoek voortgesit om uit te vind of oom Peet Delport van Louis Trichardt se un­ ieke skryftafeltjie wel meer as ses nulle werd is. Dit wil egter blyk dat oom Peet se “oudag belegging” nie soveel werd is as wat hy gehoop het nie.

In verlede week se uitgawe is daar berig oor oom Peet se unieke roll-top-skryftafeltjie uit soliede Engelse rooshout wat hy beweer dateer uit die vroeë 1700’s. Dit is blykbaar in 1903 deur Sir Ernest Oppenheimer na Suid-Afrika ingevoer en het later ook in die huis van sy seun, Harry Oppenheimer, gepronk. Die tafeltjie is blykbaar as afskeidsgeskenk gegee aan een van die Oppenheimers se tuiniere, ‘n Engelsman.

Oom Peet het in 1981 in besit gekom van die tafeltjie, as deel van die betaling vir werk wat hy vir die Engelsman gedoen het. Die tafeltjie het getuig van ongelooflik goeie vakmanskap en oom Peet het besluit om daaraan vas te hou as ‘n belegging vir sy oudag. Op 83 sê oom Peet sy oudag het nou aangebreek en wil hy die tafeltjie verkoop.

Die eerste slegte nuus vir oom Peet het gekom van kultuurhistorikus en kurator van die Newcastle Museum by Fort Amiel, mnr. Louis Eksteen. Daar is in verlede week se artikel berig dat Eksteen meen die tafeltjie is beslis nie uit die 17de eeu nie, maar is wel rondom die vroeë 1900’s in Indië vervaardig vir verspreiding na Britse kolonies. Dit is waarskynlik hoe die tafeltjie sy pad na Suid-Afrika gevind het. Oor waarde het Eksteen gesê hy dink die kassie is so tussen R10 000 tot R12 000 werd, maar retail so R6 000 tot R8 000. Tog het hy gesê dat die tafeltjie moontlik tot soveel as R18 000 kan werd wees, as daar bepaal kan word dat die tafel wel deur Sir Ernest Oppenheimer ingevoer is en in sy en

later sy seun sy huise gestaan het.

Die Zoutpansberger het toe besluit om die herkoms (provenance) van die tafeltjie te be­ vestig. Die afgelope week is daar met me. Sally MacRoberts, direkteur van die Oppenheimers se Brenthurst Biblioteek te praat. Die biblioteek is in 1984 deur Harry Oppenheimer in Parktown, Johannesburg, geopen en huisves ‘n privaatver­ sameling unieke Africana.

MacRoberts het egter sommer met die intrapslag gesê dat die biblioteek ongelukkig geen rekords van meubelstukke hou nie. “Ek dink ook nie die Oppenheimers het rekord van dit nie. Jy weet, hulle het baie goed weggegee,” het MacRoberts gesê.

Wat oom Peet se storie van die Engelse tuinier betref, het MacRoberts gesê sy is net bewus van twee tuiniers wat vir die Oppenheimers in Johannesburg gewerk het, naamlik Joane Pim en Dick Scott. Pim het in 1959 vir die Oppenheimers begin werk en na haar dood in 1974 het Scott by haar oorgeneem. Hy het blykbaar in die vroeë 2000’s afgetree. As oom Peet die kassie dus in 1981 van ‘n “afgetrede” tuinier gekry het, stem die tydlyn ongelukkig nie ooreen met Pim en Scott se betrokkenheid by die Oppenheimers as tuiniere nie.

Dit gesê het MacRoberts gesê dat oom Peet, wat ongelukkig nie meer die Engelse tuinier se naam kan onthou nie, dalk moontlik die tafeltjie van ‘n ander tuinier kon gekry het. Die Oppenheimers het ook ander eiendom gehad soos in Witrivier. Oor die waarde van die tafeltjie het MacRoberts gesê daar is geen manier dat oom Peet ‘n bedrag met ses nulle of meer sal kry nie.

“Daar is geen manier dat die tafeltjie soveel werd is nie, selfs met bewys van herkoms,” het MacRoberts gesê. Haar aanbeveling aan oom Peet is om die beste aanbod wat hy op die tafeltjie kry te aanvaar, of om spesialis afslaers soos Strauss & Co Fine Art Auctioneers of Stephan Welz & Co

Charles Stopford will live on in the memories of his loving family In Memoriam

his life on Saturday, 19 February at 14:00 at the Church of Christ, Mabalabala Ranch.

His family would like to thank Dr Emil Gaigher for his excellent care, great compassion, and support.

Family and friends learned with great sadness of the passing away of former Louis Trichardt resident Mr Charles Frederick Stopford.

Charles, lovingly also known as Charlie, Shumba (Lion) or Papa, passed away peacefully on 3 February at home, surrounded by his loved ones. He was 89 years old.

Charles moved to Louis Trichardt in 2010 and then, a year later, moved to his daughter Ivy and son-in-law Warren Scholtz’s farm, Mabalabala Ranch, situated between Waterpoort and Alldays. “He was a talented carpenter, loved tending his garden and being on the farm. He was always friendly, up for good banter and loved by all who met him. He was a loving brother, father, grandfather and great-grandfather,” said the family.

Charles will be greatly missed and will live on in the memories of his sister Denny, daughters Ivy, Portia and Julie, his sons-in-law Warren, Christo and Dirk, his grandchildren Josh, Keagan, Cortney, Nicola, Matthew, Amy, Anita, Rogan and Damon, his great-grandchildren Harper and Zanroux, the brethren at the Church of Christ, the staff at Mabalabala Ranch and Sophie.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Photo supplied.

te vra om die tafeltjie op te veil met ‘n minimum bod. “Maar sonder bewys van herkoms gaan dit baie moeilik wees,” het MacRoberts gesê.

Oom Peet het Dinsdag weer by die koerant kom kuier om te hoor wat is die jongste oor sy tafeltjie. Nodeloos om te sê, was hy teleurgesteld dat sy tafeltjie blyk nie werd te wees wat hy gehoop het nie. Hy het gesê dat hy aanbiedinge op die tafeltjie sal aanvaar, maar dat dit darem nie heeltemal belaglik moet wees nie. Vir meer hieroor kan hulle hom skakel by tel 079 684 5109 of 083 273 9859. Ontvangs op sy plaas is egter baie swak, so Die pragtige skryftafeltjie van soliede Engels rooshout blyk nie hulle kan nie altyd bereik so waardevol te wees soos wat sy eienaar, die 83-jarige oom Peet word nie.

Twee nuwe bundel opgeneem. Die van Salmoné van Veenhuyzen kompetisie word beskou as die (verlede jaar Graad 12) en grootste Afrikaanse digkompeeen van Amelia Whittal (tans tisie.

Dit het saamgeval met die titel van die digbundel, verskyn GHA se 28ste verjaardag.

word in die bundel. “Ek het vir die kategorie ‘Liefde’ ingeskryf.

Ek het skoon vergeet dat ek ingeskryf het en dit was vir my ‘n groot verrassing toe ek van die GHA hoor en boonop na die glansgeleentheid uitgenooi is!” sê sy.

Wat Amelia die meeste beïndruk het, was dat sóveel mense en instansies die Afrikaanse taal wil laat floreer. “Hulle wil werklik ‘n beter toekoms vir Afrikaans skep,” sê sy.

Reeds op die ouderdom van 13 het Amelia begin om stories en gedigte te skryf. Vir haar was skryf nog altyd iets baie persoonlik en haar manier om haar gedagtes vrye teuels te gee.

Sy het nog nooit voorheen vir iemand haar werk gewys nie en het bloot hierdie keer die kans gevat. Haar gedig, Ma se liefde, het sy juis spesiaal vir haar ma geskryf wat haar, Amelia, deur donker tye gedra het. Op haar beurt kon Amelia dieselfde vir haar ma doen.

Amelia wil graag nog skryf. “Hierdie kompetisie en publikasie het vir my deure oopgemaak,” sê sy.

Salmoné van Veenhuyzen vertel dat sy ses gedigte ingeskryf het, waarvan twee

gepubliseer is: Gedagtes in die eksamenlokaal (Afdeling: Skool en Onderwys) en Gods wil (Afdeling: Geestelik).

Salmoné kon ongelukkig weens werksverpligtinge nie die glansgeleentheid bywoon nie.

Sy het intussen ‘n pos aanvaar as produkbestuurder by Weighcor, ‘n maatskappy wat skale vervaardig.

“Ek het ‘n sterk passie vir skryf en dit was een van my grootste wense om ten minste net een gedig gepubliseer te kry,” deel Salmoné. “Vanaf

Graad 8, ná die afsterwe van my vulletjie, het ek begin skryf.

Hy was my inspirasie en my heel eerste gedig was oor my vul. Skryf was en is nog altyd my ontsnapping uit realiteit,” sê sy. Salmoné beoog om haar skryfwerk in die toekoms verder te neem.

Albei leerders is dankbaar teenoor mev. Annaline Smit, Afrikaans onderwyser by die skool, wat hulle van die kompetisie vertel het.

Die digbundel kan direk vanaf die GHA bestel word.

Zoutpansberger Die hoofartikel op die voorblad van die Zoutpansberger van 7 Februarie 1997 was ‘n opvolg van die vorige week se hoofbe­ rig, waar gerapporteer is dat drie mans van Louis Trichardt vir poging tot moord aangekla is nadat hulle klaarblyklik twee “diewe” in ‘n mieliesak gesit het en met pikstele geslaan het.

Die drie beskuldigdes se prokureur, asook lesers, het hewig gereageer op die artikel en gesê die hele ding is verpolitiseer. Hulle het gesê dat die weergawe wat deur die twee “slagoffers” vertel is, nie ‘n ware refleksie was van gebeure nie.

Die drie beskuldigdes se prokureur het ook verskeie teenstrydighede in die weergawe van die “slagoffers” uitgewys. Die drie beskuldigdes sou op 28 Februarie van daardie maand weer in die hof verskyn.

Ander voorbladnuus daardie week was ‘n aankondiging dat aborsies gewettig is, maar dat hospitaalpersoneel van die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal geensins gretig was om hierdie prosedures uit te voer nie. Alhoewel Elim en Tshilidzini Hospitale in daardie stadium opgeleide spanne gehad het om aborsies uit te voer, het Louis Trichardt nie een gehad nie. Gelukkig kon individue (dokters en susters) weier om aborsies uit te voer op grond van geloofsredes, maar die diens kon nie geweier word nie. Swanger vroue moes in

sulke gevalle verwys word na ‘n sentrum wat die prosedures kan uitvoer.

Ook oop die voorblad daardie week was die hartseernuus van die dood van die 25-jarige Bernardus Frederick Scheepers.

Scheepers is oorlede nadat hy vermoedelik miergif gedrink het. Hy was klaarblyklik besig om op die telefoon te praat toe hy inmekaar gesak het. Sy pa het hom op die vloer gesien en te hulp gesnel. Hy is dadelik na die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal gejaag maar is kort ná sy aankoms oorlede.

Behuising bly steeds ‘n probleem vir duisende Suid-Afrikaners. Wat dit betref wil dit voorkom asof ‘n paar hawelose mense die duikweg onder die N1 by die verkeersirkel in Stubbsstraat, Louis Trichardt, as huis gekies het. Alhoewel mens begrip het dat almal graag wil droog slaap, is dit duidelik dat van die “inwoners” die duikweg gebruik as basis vanwaar misdaad gepleeg word. Tussen al die rommel en vuurmaakplekke is daar onder meer ‘n selfgemaakte knopkierie opgemerk, asook apparaat wat blykbaar gebruik word om by huise in te breek of items oor heinings en deur oop vensters te haak. Daar is bevestig dat een van die bewoners die skrapsgeklede man (soms heeltemal kaal), wat tans gereeld by die kruising opgemerk word, blyk te wees.

was Christina Storm nie aktief in die toneelbedryf op skool nie. Sy het in die vroeë 1990s as model bekendheid verwerf en het op die voorblaaie van internasionale tydskrifte soos Elle en GQ verskyn. Sy het in 2007 haar debuut as aktrise gemaak in die sepie, Egoli. Daarna het sy in verskeie films opgetree soos Jakhalsdans (2010), Ek lief jou (2011) en Alles wat mal is (2014).

Die toneel- en filmbedryf het egter sedert begin 2020 ‘n nagmerrie beleef, met Covid-inperkings wat die bedryf lamgelê het. Dit het veral ‘n negatiewe uitwerking gehad op jong akteurs wat hul drome probeer najaag het en gehoop het om ‘n rol los te slaan in ‘n film- of dramaproduksie.

Een van dié jongmense wat geraak is deur die ontwrigting was Jaco van Zyl. Ná skool is hy na die film- en Van links af is akteurs Etienne du Plessis, Ma-drama univerrissa Claassen en Jaco van Zyl. Foto: siteit, AFDA, Isabel Venter. se kampus in Johannesburg.

Hy het sy graad in 2018 voltooi, maar nog ‘n jaar verder studeer om sy honneursgraad in drama te verwerf.

In Maart 2020, etlike weke ná AFDA se gradeplegtigheid, het die deure wêreldwyd toegeklap vir kunstenaars.

Vertonings is gekanselleer

en filmproduksies is vir etlike maande gestaak. Soos sovele ander akteurs wêreldwyd moes Jaco homself maar besig hou met ’n bietjie advertensiewerk en studente-produksies.

Eers ná meer as twee jaar het hy die oproep ontvang het waarin hy meegedeel is dat hy ‘n rol losgeslaan het. Hy het minder as ‘n week gehad om voor te berei vir sy rol as speursersant Troughton in die klug, My vrou se man se vrou.

Dit het op Dinsdag, 1 Februarie, in die Atterbury Teater in Pretoria geopen.

Tydens die media-aand op Woensdag, 2 Februarie, het die besturende direkteur van Lefra, Frans Swart, uitgebrei oor die uitdagings die afgelope twee jaar. In Februarie 2020 was die span se tasse letterlik al gepak en die dekor al gelaai toe die nuus breek dat die KKNK-optredes gekanselleer is. Waar die filmbedryf nog geleidelik weer aan die gang kon kom, was die toneelwêreld magteloos. Om toneelstukke aan te bied met klein gehore was eenvoudig nie die moeite werd nie.

Toe die aankondiging vroeër vanjaar gemaak is dat die inperkingsmaatreëls verslap gaan word, kon die beplanning begin. Die kern van die span wat My vrou se man se vrou twee jaar gelede sou opvoer, was steeds beskikbaar. Die hoofrolle kon weer vertolk word deur Phillru van Achterbergh (John Smith) en Botha Enslin (Stanley Garner). Marissa Claassen (Mary) was steeds beskikbaar vir haar rol, asook Thiart Li

(joernalis / Bobby Franklyn) en Etienne du Plessis (speursersant Porterhouse).

Twee nuwelinge het egter hul buiging gemaak in die stuk.

Danielle Britz het die rol van John Smith se een vrou, Barbara vertolk, terwyl Jaco die uitdagende rol van speur­sersant Troughton moes vertolk.

Die twee nuwelinge het egter geensins teruggestaan vir die meer ervare akteurs nie. Die stuk, wat gebaseer is op Ray Cooney se teks Run for your wife, het vir langer as 25 jaar vol sale getrek in Londen se West End. Peet van Rensburg het die stuk in Afrikaans vertaal en die eerste produksie is in 2012

deur Lefra Produksies aangebied.

Die Atterbury Teater moes steeds voldoen aan Covidvoorskrifte maar was elke aand feitlik tot kapasiteit gevul. Vir die eerste keer in baie maande was die teater vir bykans twee ure gevul met die gelag van ‘n baie waarderende gehoor.

Die laaste vertoning by die Atterbury Teater was Sondagaand, maar die stuk sal na alle waarskynlikheid ook opgevoer word by die Oppiwater Kunstefees, wat in April plaasvind.

5 March Saturday

Sponsor’s Evening & Art Exhibition The IsAbility Sport Club in Louis Trichardt will be hosting their annual sponsor’s function on 4 March, which will coincide with an art exhibition in the Emmanuel Christian School hall this year.

The art exhibition will feature work from local artists, and a school art competition with the theme “Hope and/or Embracing Ability”.

Entry forms for the school competition are being delivered to the local schools. R500 first-prize money in each of the high school and primary school categories and R200 each for the second-prize winners will be up for grabs. The art exhibition will take place in the afternoon.

The sponsors’ function will be in the evening and tickets cost R200 per person.

The guest speaker is Arnu Fourie. Arnu is a single-leg amputee who was signed to play for the Golden Lions in 2004, but lost his leg in a boating accident. Apparently, when he woke up the next morning after the amputation, the first thing someone said to him was what the world record for the 100-metre sprint was in the World Para-athletics in the T44 class (which would become his classification).

By Andries van Zyl

But why baobabs?

What does the project entail?

The project is presented in the format of a competition, to create excitement and purpose.

The four schools mentioned above were invited to get involved (We would have loved to ask more schools, but the project would have become just too unmanageable). All four of these schools were visited on Monday and Tuesday, with the Zoutpansberger outlining the basic idea of the project and Dr Venter sharing her wealth of knowledge during a talk with the children. Afterwards, all the competing children were handed a baobab-planting starter kit and were told what would be expected of them in the coming months.

The children and schools will be evaluated on how many seeds they are able to germinate, who is able to grow the most trees and who has the tallest trees after a specific period. At the end of the year, the finalists from each school will be invited for an all-expenses-paid trip to Big Tree at Sagole (near Tshipise) – the biggest and oldest baobab tree in the world.

tags were sponsored by the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital, who expressed a keen interest in getting involved with the project. For this, we thank them). Each starter kit also contains an 80g bag of Baobab Powder superfood, sponsored by EcoProducts, and a 10ml bottle of BaoCare Clear skincare oil for people with spotty or oily skins

The excitement was contagious “The children’s excitement in being part of the project was electrifying. It gives one hope to see that today’s children do care about their future and the legacy they leave behind, especially regarding the environment. We do hope that they spread the message and the ‘culture of caring’ mentioned by Dr Venter far and wide,” said Andries van Zyl, news editor of the Zoutpansberger.

As the window period for geminating the seeds is closing fast (before the end of February), all are keen to get going. Over the next few months, the Zoutpansberger will monitor the project and report back on the progress.

What’s in the box?

Included in each learner’s Baobab Champion starter kit are five planting bags; a sachet containing 15 baobab seeds (three seeds per planting bag as not all seeds germinate); a booklet with information about baobabs and the projects of the Baobab Foundation, and five tags to identify each planting bag for data recording and record keeping.

Triegie-atlete laat talle rekords spat

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het op Vrydag, 4 Februarie, ‘n vriendskaplike atletiekbyeenkoms aangebied. Die besoekende skole was Stanford Lake College, Ridgeway College, Hoërskool Eric Louw en Northern Academy. Tydens die geleentheid het die Triegie-atlete verskeie rekords verbeter. Dit is duidelik dat daar nog baie gesien gaan word van Triegies se Mijanke Venter. Hierdie 14-jarige Graad 8-atleet twee rekords opgestel. Sy verbeter die meisies o.15 driesprong rekord met ‘n sprong van 10,30 m, asook die spiesgooi rekord vir o.14-meisies met ‘n gooi van 28,34 m. Haar spiesgooi rekord het egter nie lank gestaan nie, nadat spanmaat Andrea Badenhorst weer haar rekord verbeter met ‘n gooi van 29,76 m.

Nog ‘n belowende atleet van die skool, Tshepo Legodi, het op sy beurt die rekord in die 110 m hekkies vir seuns o.16 verbeter met ‘n tyd van 15,19 sekondes. Van links na regs staan Mijanke, Tshepo en Andrea. Foto verskaf.
