Sy en pa Heinrich, werksaam by die lugmag inspektoraat, het Rozanne baie gemotiveer. “Met hulle ondersteuning kon ek my mikpunt van sewe onderskeidings bereik. Dit was ‘n baie besige jaar,” sê Rozanne, verlede jaar se onderhoofmeisie vir akademie. Vir Unarine Sebola, wat ses onderskeidings verwerf het, is die volgende week of twee baie belangrik.

Abortion suspect charged with murder the 26yearold resident from uganda, Juko Moses, who is suspected of running an illegal abortion clinic in the back alleys of Makhado (Louis tri chardt), has now been charged with murder. Moses was arrested in July 2011 after a 29-year-old woman, who wanted to terminate her five-month pregnancy, had put the police on Moses’s trail. At first he was charged with the illegal termination of a pregnancy.
This charge was changed to murder when Moses appeared in the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on Monday. The woman, who cannot be identified without her informed consent, responded to one of the many illegal abortion advertisements that are plastered all over town. She allegedly paid R1000 for five Cytotex tablets, which are used to terminate pregnancies. Her baby died as a result of major complications caused by
her taking the Cytotex tablets. According to information supplied, the State feels that it has enough evidence to prove a case of murder against Moses. In the meantime, Moses has been in custody since September last year. His case had to be postponed on Monday, due to the fact that he had failed to pay his attorney. Moses will remain in custody until 14 January, when his case is expected to continue.
ekonomie en lewensoriëntering. Om gereeld huiswerk te doen en die regte vriende te kies, was ‘n belangrike deel van Unarine se sukses. “Baie van ons het in matriek nuwe vriende gekies, want ‘n mens kan nie toelaat dat vriende wat nie wil studeer nie, jou wegtrek van jou doelwit nie,” sê Unarine. Susan Wilson en Itani Mafune, twee leerlingraadslede, het elk vyf onderskeidings verwerf. Susan gaan siviele ingenieurswese by die Universiteit van Pretoria studeer en Itani gaan Andani se klasmaat wees by Wits, waar hy hom ook vir ‘n chemiese ingenieur gaan bekwaam. Charity Mabasa, Larissa Venter, Carina Vorster en Pretty Tshirangwana het elk vier onderskeidings behaal, terwyl Francine Grobler, Tendani Makatu, Quintin Moodie, Angelique Nefdt,
Ro fhi wa Bruce Nthulane en Khethani Ramulongo elk drie A’s agter hul name skryf. Daar is verder 23 leerlinge met twee onderskeidings elk en 42 leerlinge met een onderskeiding elk. “Die topgroep onder die matrikulante het baie goed gevaar. Ek is baie tevrede met al die uitblinkers en ook met die deursnee leerlinge. Die onderste groep het ons egter in die steek gelaat,” het die skoolhoof, mnr Henry Denner, hierdie week gesê. Hy het sy teleurstelling uitgespreek oor die nege druipelinge wat aan die skool ‘n slaagsyfer van 94.8% besorg het. “Swak skoolbywoning is ‘n groot faktor by die onderste groep. Ek het byvoorbeeld vir die eerste keer in meer as 20 jaar ‘n druipeling in Geografie gehad. Dié leerling was net twee dae in my klas na afloop van die rekordeksamen,” het Denner gesê.

BUSINESS talk By Linda van der Westhuizen
More accolades for local Harcourts Harcourts Jana Marie in Makhado (Louis trichardt) is ranked under the top 25 Harcourts offices in terms of their sales in november. “Harcourts is one of the fastest growing Real Estate franchises in our country. In the past two years Harcourts in South Africa has experienced phenomenal growth, which is especially significant at a time when many real estate groupings are shrinking, and the industry as a whole has declined. Whereas the residential
property industry reported a growth of only 5% year-onyear in 2011 compared to 25% in 2010, Harcourts has experienced a year-on year growth of 27% in 2011 and 45% in 2010. Furthermore, Harcourts’ aggregate sales growth in the last two years is a staggering 87%,” says principal Jana Smith, quoting from a recent report released by Harcourts Real Estate South Africa. The CEO of Harcourts, Richard Gray, attributes the extraordinary growth of Har-
courts to the fact that they offer a leading value proposition in all aspects of real estate. “Many independent agents have found it tough to keep up-to-date with the increasing demands of the industry especially in terms of technology and training,” says Gray. Harcourts provide internationally recognised technology systems. In addition Harcourts facilitate training courses to both new and experienced agents through the accredited Harcourts Training Academy.
