Geen toegang! Swaar vragmotors sal nou maar êrens anders moet gaan parkeer, nadat die park in Baobastraat oorkant Soutpansberg Spar uiteindelik die afgelope week ordentlik met pale toegespan is. Die park is die laaste paar jaar as ‘n onwettige taxi-staanplek en truck stop vir swaar vragmotors gebruik.

Geen toegang meer nie!

Deur Andries van Zyl Nie net mnr. Luke Enslin, eienaar van Soutpansberg Spar, slaak ‘n sug van verligting nadat die Makhado Munisipaliteit uiteindelik gehoor gegee het aan pleidooie om die park oorkant dié winkelkompleks af te sper nie.

Die park het die afgelope paar jaar ontaard in ‘n onwettige staanplek vir minibus­taxi’s en swaar vragmotors wat dit is ‘n truck stop begin gebruik het. Nodeloos om te sê, die swaar verkeer het sy merk gelos op strate in die omgewing, wat nooit ontwerp is om hierdie tipe verkeer te dra nie. Buiten kopsere met verkeers­ opeenhopings weens swaar vragmotors wat vroegoggend en laatmiddag wou ry of bly, was dit gedurende die droë maande veral die stof wat Enslin teen die mure uitgedryf het. So een of

twee keer het die Stadsraad probeer om die park af te sper, maar die pale is bloot weer uitgehaal of omgery deur die vragmotorbestuurders. Die onlangse swaar reën oor die hele Soutpansberg het weer ‘n ander probleem tot gevolg gehad – modder! Tot en met ‘n week of twee gelede was die hele straat voor die winkelkompleks een reuse modder gemors soos wat vragmotors uit die park modder die strate ingery het. Dit was vir Enslin die laaste strooi gewees.

“Ek het die Stadsraad herhaaldelik gesmeek om ‘n plan te maak. Elke keer het hulle vir my net gesê: ‘All in good time’. Toe begin ek maar self die pale plant,” het Luke gesê.

Volgens Luke was hy so twee dae besig gewees, Buiten vir die stof wat swaarvragmotors veroorsaak deur in die droë maande in die park te toe daag die munisipaliteit se kontrakteur daar op en sê dat hulle sal aangaan met die plant van parkeer en oornag, het die vragmotors die park en omliggende strate in ‘n modder gemors omskep tydens die afgelope paar weke se reën. pale.

munisipaliteit die projek oorgevat en klaarge­ maak het nie. Die hele park is die afgelope twee weke toegespan met houtpale.

“Dit lyk my jy moet maar net ‘n ding begin en dan druk jy hulle in ‘n hoek in,” het Enslin gesê. Die storie het egter ietwat van ‘n nadraai.

Vragmotorbestuurders wat te laat besef die park is nou toegespan is nou besig om sypaadjies in die area flenters te ry in hulle pogings om om te draai. “Ek het in elk geval ‘n paar ekstra pale gekoop vir wanneer van die trokke weer die pale omry,” het Enslin gesê.

Motoriste wat gereeld die pad gebruik is tans deeglik bewus van Baobabstraat (om die park en voor Soutpansberg Spar) se haglike toestand.

Die straat het feitlik totaal verbrokkel en die enigste rede waarom mense steeds die straat kan gebruik is danksy ‘n man en sy kruiwa wat deur­ lopend die slaggate toegooi die afgelope week.

Die goeie nuus is egter dat munisipale woord­ voerder mnr. Louis Bobodi in Januarie reeds bevestig het dat hulle ‘n konsultant aangestel het om die straat heeltemal te herontwerp. Die afgelope paar weke was daar op die onderskeie straathoeke rondom die park personeel wat daag­liks die hoeveelheid voertuie getel het wat van die pad gebruik gemaak het. Wanneer die opgradering van die pad gaan plaasvind, is egter onseker. Nog goeie nuus is dat dit blyk dat die Makhado Munisipaliteit eindelik begin het met die herstel van slaggate in die dorp se strate.

Bewys hiervan is te sien in Joubertstraat, waar slaggate gereedgemaak is om weer met teer hers­ tel te word. Tans is slaggate ‘n groot kopseer vir motoriste. Die probleem is dramaties vererger deur die swaar reënneerslae oor die streek – iets wat buite die munisipaliteit se beheer was.

Glo dit of nie, maar vir van die LUK-lede was dit ‘n ernstige affêre en hulle het voluit die afstand probeer hardloop. Foto’s: Hoërskool Louis Trichardt.

after they have completed work in the area. Quality control on reinstatement is of utmost importance, as contractors are not paid until Britelink is satisfied with the work and civil acceptance certificates (CAC) are signed off.

Small explained that they start with a designated area, finish their installation and then start to reinstate that whole area. Before moving on to the next area, Britelink inspects the completed area with the subcontractors (who did the work) and points out if any snags need to be fixed. When Britelink is fully sat­ isfied that everything is up to standard, a CAC is signed off. This signing-off procedure, Small says, takes up to three days to complete.

Wayleave handovers are also done once they have finished in an area to confirm that the municipality is happy with the reinstatements.

Residents who are unhappy with re­ instatements done by Vumatel/Britelink can lodge their complaints directly with Small at Tel 082 563 5409 or Kai Kohrs at Tel 062 034 0725.

Though this project in progress cer­ tainly comes with a whole lot of frustra­ tion for residents and businesses alike, keeping in mind that the product itself is a progressive step with great benefits is important. It offers high-speed Inter­ net connectivity, Internet reliability and better Internet strength, to mention but a few, which could make life for every Internet-dependent individual, and es­ pecially businesses, so much easier once installation is complete and the services up and running. The set-up process, however, is timeous and, unfortunately, often fraught with challenges, as with any technical implementation. Keeping this in mind might therefore set us more at ease to focus on the end result of this product, which many of us will, in the long run, happily benefit from.

Letaba Wireless also recently came under scrutiny after apparently not properly rehabilitating the microtrenches they dug. They have since explained that the reason their trenches were not properly covered was because of the recent heavy rains. Improved weather conditions have now allowed them time to cover the trenches dug in the road properly in, among others, Barnard Street and Forestry Street, the past week.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, was die destydse Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad steeds verdeeld oor die kwessie of Kutama en Sinthumule by die “nuwe” munisipale area ingesluit moes word.

Op die Zoutpansberger se voorblad van 6 Maart 1996 word berig oor ‘n spesiale Raadsvergadering oor die aangeleentheid ná ‘n hofuitspraak die LUR vir Plaaslike Rege­ ring opdrag gegee het om die proses om die twee woongebiede by die munisipale area in te sluit, van voor af te begin. ‘n Sperdatum vir die onderskeie prosesse is vasgestel, sodat ‘n finale besluit daaroor geneem kon word voor die munisipale verkie­ sings van 29 Mei daardie jaar.

Die voorbladartikel wat egter sekerlik die meeste aandag getrek het, was die berig oor die vermoorde Dr Zahida Sabadia van Louis Trichardt se begrafnis. Dit het gevolg nadat haar man, dr. Omar Sabadia, en drie verdagtes die polisie na haar liggaam geneem het. In daardie stadium was Zahida reeds drie weke vermis ná ‘n beweerde motorkaping. Haar pa en destydse Lid van die Parlement, mnr. Omar Ahmed, het op nasio­ nale televisie gevra vir haar veilige terugkeer. ‘n Beloning van R250 000 is ook aangebied vir inligting wat sou help om haar weer te vind. Omar Sabadia het ‘n paar maande vantevore haar lewe vir R3 miljoen verseker. Zahida se liggaam is naby Ga­Rankuwa

aan die polisie uitgewys, waarna dit na Louis Trichardt gebring is vir een van die dorp se grootste begrafnisse nog. Sowat 4 000 mense het die diens bygewoon.

Op die sportfront het die dorp se eerste rugbyspan daardie week hulle opponente ná ‘n baie taai stryd met 21­10 geklop. Louis Trichardt se muurbalspelers het op hulle beurt gewys dat die plaaslike klub van die topspelers in die provinsie het, nadat vyf van hulle lede onder die top agt spelers in Limpopo gelys is.

Beware of counterfeit money doing the rounds

By Andries van Zyl Residents are warned that counterfeit money is once again being circulated by unscrupulous criminals offering it as payment for products and services. This warning comes from a Louis Trichardt resident who received fake R100 notes as payment on two different occasions.

The resident (who preferred to remain anon­ ymous) sells tomatoes wholesale to the public from their farm. Some of the bigger transactions can run into thousands of rands. “On Sunday, 28 February, a customer came and paid for the to­ matoes in cash. When I went to deposit the cash at an outside bank ATM, the machine, however, rejected one R100 note,” said the resident.

On closer inspection the R100 banknote was found to be fake. The colour basically matched that of a real R100 note, but the “feel and texture” of the paper were off. Viewed under an ultraviolet light, none of the parts that are supposed to light up did so.

The dead giveaway was, however, the serial number on the note – TK8415994D - a number that the resident had seen before because the same number had appeared on another fake R100 note used to pay for tomatoes at their farm a couple of weeks before. This note was also rejected by the bank.

The resident warned local businesses and farmers to be vigilant. “It both cases, the trans­ action was concluded on a Sunday and in both cases the fake notes were slipped in between real notes. It might seem that one fake R100 is not that much. But over a long period, it is a lot of money lost if you start adding up all the fake notes,” said the resident.

As forgers are becoming more “skilful” in their forgeries, the public find spotting the difference between real and fake bank notes increasingly

difficult. When inspecting banknotes, an ap­ proach of Look, Feel, and Tilt should be adopted.

One of the features to look at is the security thread that appears as a shiny stripe on the front of a bank note. This stripe becomes a continuous solid line when the note is held up to the light.

The words “SARB”, “Rand”, the denomination and the South African coat of arms should be visible. Also look for the watermark embedded into the banknote’s paper, which becomes visible when the note is held up to the light.

By lightly running your fingertips over the banknote, you can also feel the difference between real and fake banknotes. On the front of the banknote, the portrait of Nelson Mandela and the words SOUTH AFRICAN RESERVE BANK (SARB) will feel slightly raised or rough.

As for tilting the note, the metallic security thread will reflect light and exhibit a slight colour shift. The numerals on the bottom right of the banknote are also printed with a co­ lour-changing ink. The R10 and R20 banknotes exhibit a slight colour shift, whereas the R50, R100 and R200 banknotes appear to have a moving line.

The newspaper would have loved to show our readers the safety features to look out for, but ac­ cording to Section 14 of the SARB Act, only the SARB has the right to issue banknotes and coins in South Africa. “Any reproduction of banknote images – even for artistic or advertising uses – is strictly forbidden,” warns the SARB on its web­ site. It has also urged members of the public who come into possession of counterfeit banknotes or coins to report this to their nearest police station.

Help police locate missing man Missing person

The Makhado police are asking the public’s assistance in locating a 29-year-old Louis Trichardt man who went missing about two weeks ago.

Mr Clément Rodrigues Symons, a resident of Songozwi Street in Louis Trichardt, went miss­ ing on Sunday, 28 February. Symons allegedly left his home with a friend to travel to Buysdorp near Vivo at around 15:00. He never arrived at his destination and he has since disappeared.

Family members tried to reach him through his cellphone, but it goes directly to voicemail. The police also conducted search operations in the surrounding areas but without success.

According to the police, Symons was last seen wearing a blue long-sleeve T-shirt, navy blue denim pants and blue sneakers. They urged any­ one with information that can assist the police in finding the missing man to contact Warrant Officer Johannes Hlongwane on 072 470 5588 or 015 519 4300 or by phoning the crime stop number 0860010111. They can also visit their nearest police station.

Chapter three’s entries show that the (story) devil lies in the detail How does it work?

Is it difficult?

We wrote the first chapter of the story. Two stories are featured, an English one and an Afrikaans story. The stories al­ ternate, meaning one week the English chapter appears and the next week the Afrikaans story’s chapter. The stories are completely different, and the young writers do not have to enter chap­ ters for both stories. (Choose whichever you are comfortable with).

The first chapter had merely set the parameters of the story, such as some of the characters and a very basic plot.

Where the story will eventu­ ally end up is totally up to our young readers. Writers may introduce new characters and (sadly) kill off some of the old characters.

Every new chapter gets published on a Thursday in the newspaper. The writers then have up to the following Wednesday afternoon to send in their contributions. The en­ tries will be judged by a panel of writers. Every week’s win­ ning entry will receive a small prize. An overall prize for the best contributions (English and Afrikaans) will also be given at the end of the series.

We want to encourage all young writers to contribute.

The writer’s imagination and the way the plot is structured are more important than the use of language. The winning contributions will be sub­edited and corrected before the next chapter is published. (If neces­

specific schools, but they must reside in the Vhembe District.

sary information may be added to keep context and add to the continuity.)

In every week’s edition, a judges’ discussion with some advice for the young writers will be provided. The compe­ tition is not about language excellence, but rather about the telling of an interesting story. We do not know where the story will end up, so this is an exciting journey for all involved.

Who can enter?

An age­limit of 19 has been set, but anything younger goes.

Entrants are not limited to

Some rules: Although we want to keep rules to the minimum, some guidelines are necessary. Each chapter should be limited to 450 words or fewer.

Entries must reach the newspaper before 16:00 on a Wednesday afternoon after publication. (If, for instance, the Afrikaans story’s chapter is published that specific week, the entries for the next chapter must reach us by the next Wednes­ day.)

Entries must be e­mailed to leigh@zoutnet.co.za.

The story will be published on our website to make it easier for entrants to recap on what had happened in previous chapters. Entrants must stick to the characters and not devi­ ate too much from the existing story line. Each chapter must preferably end in a way that the suspense is maintained and that the other writers can add to the story.

Both stories need to end in Chapter 10. Build the story in such a way that a conclusion can be reached in the final chapter.

Remember: Entries for Chapter 4 of the English story must reach us before 16:00 on Wednesday, 17 March 2021.

She realised that she could not tell anyone.

As part of the past weekend’s Crafts & Farmer’s Market by the SPCA Louis Trichardt, the art students of La Mia Nuvoletta Art Studio made Spekboom-planters from recycled plastic cold drink bottles. Each student cut, sanded and painted their own planter, after which it was primed to ensure the longevity of the paintwork. The Spekboom is indigenous to South Africa and can release oxygen both day and night. The planters with Spekboom cuttings were sold and all proceeds went to the SPCA Louis Trichardt. Pictured are some of the colourful, painted planters. Photo supplied.

Celebrating World Hearing Day, sign language teachers Mr Sello Seemela (left) and Mr Khorommbi Wilson Ligammba from Tshilidzani Special School visited Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital last week to teach the hospital staff sign language. Twelve staff members attended the first session on learning basic sign language. They were taught letters of the alphabet. According to Harrison Khosa, the hospital communications manager, sign language is very necessary to be taught at hospitals. “Communication between hospital staff and deaf patients sometimes presents challenges. That is why we felt there was a need to engage in a sign-language training session, so that there is seamless communication,” said Khosa. The first class showed an eager interest in learning the language. Some could even demonstrate letters of the alphabet, using signs, within five minutes. In the photo, Seemela is teaching the hospital staff the letters of the alphabet.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe

“Hy, wat in die gestalte van God was, het dit geen roof geag om nie aan God gelyk te wees nie” Filippense 2:6.

L

et op die trappe waardeur Jesus ons Verlosser en Saligmaker geword het, waarin Hy sy ware gesindheid openbaar.

Hy het ‘n vrywilliger geword. Christus het doelbewus en vrywillig van sy bestaan as die Almagtige, Alwetende en Alomteenwoordige Seun van God in die hemel afstand gedoen.

Hy was nie daartoe gedwing nie, maar Hy het dit self, uit eie vrye keuse, gedoen.

Hy het Homself ontledig (Filippense 2:7).

Die woord ontledig is ‘n sterk woord en beteken leeg tot die laaste druppel toe. “…

Hy, alhoewel Hy ryk was, het ter wille van julle arm geword, sodat julle deur sy armoede ryk kan word” (2 Korintiërs 8:9). So arm het Hy geword, dat Hy ‘n geldstuk moes leen om vir mense die beeld van die keiser te wys. Ook moes Hy ‘n donkie leen om op te ry. Selfs sy liggaam is na sy dood in iemand anders se graf gelê.

Hy het ‘n dienskneg geword (Filippense 2:7). Jesus het Homself uit liefde vir sy Vader tot knegskap verbind. Jesus het altyd gesê: “Ja, Vader…” (Mattheus 11:26). Ook: “My voedsel is om die wil te doen van Hom wat My gestuur het om sy werk te voltooi” (Johannes 4:34). Toe die Vader Hom wou stuur, was sy taal soos die van Jesaja, wat uitgeroep het: “Hier is ek, stuur My!” - Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

Oord se inwoners se harte dankbaar Die inwoners van Laat Lente en Herfs akker op Louis Trichardt, skryf:

BDankie gaan aan die Groenteman, mnr. Desai, aie dankie aan almal wat weer eetgoed hier by die aftree-oord kom aflaai het.

en die mense van Levubu wat mielies, tamaties en nog meer gebring het. Mag die Hemelse Vader julle seën!

CMR Louis Trichardt waardeer die steun Die personeel van die CMR op Louis Trichardt, skryf:

O

ns wens die woord “dankie” het ‘n groter inpak gehad! Die impak om te besef dat ons waarlik oorloop van dankbaarheid. Dat dit nie net woorde is nie, maar woorde met ‘n diep betekenis.

Vir elke persoon in die gemeenskap wat ons ondersteun het in ons vetkoek-en-maalvleis fondsinsameling - ons waardeer dit uit die diepte van ons harte. Al ons borge vir die donasies, baie dankie vir julle oop harte vir die werk van CMR Louis Trichardt.

Deur Denise van Bergen Diegene wat hou van pasteitjies sal hierdie ‘padkos’ resep wat plaaslike avonturier Dave van Graan dié week deel baie geniet. As jou bestanddele reg afgemeet is, is dit glad nie moeilik om te maak nie, en as jy eers ‘n happie hiervan gevat het, gaan jy nie wil ophou eet nie. Dave dink ver terug wanneer hy hierdie resep self maak.

Een van sy assistent-gidse, wat hom op vele van sy Afrika-toere vergesel het, se ma het glo dikwels vir hulle van hierdie ‘vleispasteitjies’ saam met allerhande ander lekkernye ingepak en hy sê dit was die lekkerste padkos ooit!

Deeg bestanddele: 500ml (280g) koekmeel 10ml bakpoeier 250ml (200g) botter, in blokkies gesny 2 eiers 250ml (1 koppie) koue water heel naeltjies Vulsel bestanddele:

Workshop to help Ridgeway Prep educators master fundamental skills School News Ms Natascha Louw, sports officer at the University of Venda, recently took time from her busy schedule to spend with the foundation-phase educators at Ridgeway Preparatory.

Louw, a qualified biokinet­ icist and occupational­health practitioner, presented a workshop on the screening of gross motor skills, explaining the value of these fundamental and rudimentary skills to the educators.

The Remedial Department at Ridgeway Preparatory is in

bb

the process of screening their nearly 400 learners (aged 3 to 13) for various levels of their visual abilities, hearing needs, fine and gross motor functioning as well as their academic challenges. Within this screening process first­ ly lies the need to educate teachers in the art of assisting with basic screening. Screening as diagnostic tool shows them what they need to manage what they have measured. As a result of these screening processes on various levels, educators are then trained in assisting learn­ ers according to their levels of competencies.

Louw utilized the workshop to prepare educators in gross motor screening of learners in Grade 1 to 3, pointing out that movement should be fun, but if rudimentary skills are not in place, the foundation is lacking.

She further stressed regular movement breaks.

“Grade 1s should move after every 20 minutes. This will assist with better concentra­ tion and enhances behavioural management in classes,” she said.

Ridgeway Preparatory wishes to thank the University of Ven­ da for their continued involve­ ment in the community.

Dave noem Louis Trichardt al vir die afgelope 18 jaar sy huis - wanneer hy nie op toer is of voetslaan na afgeleë plekke, soos die Namib of Kaokoland in Namibië, nie.
