Wie kan so iets doen?

Deur Pétria de Vaal

“Ek treur vreeslik oor my kat en is baie kwaad en ontsteld,” sê Lezelle du Toit van Louis Trichardt, wie se kat verlede Dinsdag met ‘n windbuks doodgeskiet is. “Ek wil almal daar buite wie se katte dalk in gevaar is net laat weet hiervan. Dit is ‘n ontsettende leemte wat gelaat word as ‘n mens se kat so ‘n onmenslike dood sterf.”

‘n Hartseer Lezelle vertel dat die insident so tussen 10:30 en 11:00 die oggend moes gebeur het. Sy het pas by Brake & Clutch gestop, toe haar buurvrou bel en die nuus meedeel dat haar wyfiekat iets oorgekom het. “Ek het huis toe gejaag, maar toe ek daar kom was Thorny reeds dood. By nadere ondersoek was daar ‘n gaatjie in haar maag – definitief veroorsaak deur ‘n windbuks-patroon. Ek het oral gesoek en slegs ‘n klein kolletjie bloed by ons

lapa gesien. Ek het dadelik vir Alicia [Thomas] van die DBV gebel. Ongelukkig kan ‘n mens niks teen hierdie onmenslikheid doen as daar nie bewyse is nie,” sê Lezelle.

Palmer en Thorny is ‘n boetie en sussie wat Lezelle so twee jaar gelede aangeneem het nadat Megan Terink hulle van die straat af gered het. Megan is saam met Nada de Villiers betrokke by Me, You & Cats wat hulle beywer om veral straatkatte te help wat seergekry het of wat siek is en om goeie huise vir hierdie katte of katjies te vind.

“Thorny was ‘n leukemie-lyer en met Nada se behandeling het dit sóveel beter met haar begin gaan. Almal weet dat dit moeilik is om katte binne te hou. In Rubicourt, waar ons woon, is daar heelwat inwoners met katte. Ek vermoed dat die insident aan Elandstraat se kant, buite die kompleks, plaasgevind het,” sê Lezelle.

Een van Megan se katte is ook twee

jaar gelede met ‘n windbuks geskiet, maar het dit toe oorleef. Behalwe vir skietvoorvalle, kom ‘n vlaag van vergiftiging onder katte ook reeds geruime tyd voor.

Nada vertel dat Blouberg Dierekliniek se eie geliefde gemmerkat, Mike, al meer as ‘n jaar gelede spoorloos verdwyn het. Vergiftiging word vermoed. Drie ander “praktykkatte” is dood aangetref. Tydens ‘n nadoodse ondersoek is swart korrels van ‘n verbode, vinnig-werkende gif aangetref. ‘n Rukkie daarna is nog ‘n nadoodse ondersoek gedoen op ‘n ander kat en dieselfde tipe korrels is gevind.

“Heelwat katte het ook reeds net verdwyn – veral in die omgewing van Blouberg Dierekliniek. Die kanse is goed dat hulle almal vergiftig is deur iemand wat bloot harteloos is. Hierdie aksies word dikwels onderneem JUIS deur opgevoede mense. Dit is maklik om lede van die publiek wat niks van katte weet nie, op te voed. Maar om iemand vir wie katte moontlik bloot ‘n irritasie of frustrasie is sover te probeer kry om nie harteloos en onmenslik op te tree nie, is baie moeilik,” sê Nada.

Nada vervolg deur te sê dat ‘n mens niks kan doen om katte binne ‘n werf te hou nie, tensy die werf só ingerig word dat katte werklik nie kan uit nie. Nada-hulle woon self in die omgewing van die kliniek en het daardie uitgawe aangegaan, sodat haar katte kan

binne bly. “Baie katliefhebbers kan egter nie sulke uitgawes aangaan nie.”

Megan is dit eens dat genoegsame maatreëls om skuldiges te laat boet vir hulle dade ontbreek. “Vir

baie mense is katte bloot lastig en hulle word beskou as ‘n pestilensie wat uitgeroei moet word. Onskuldige diere (en hulle eienaars, vir wie hulle katte soos kinders is) ly dan daaronder,” sê sy.

Thorny was ‘n leukemie-lyer en nadat sy behandeling begin ontvang het, het dit sóveel beter met haar begin gaan. Foto verskaf.

Anger growing over bungling Vhembe Municipality

By Andries van Zyl

The chronic water shortages in Makhado sparked a mass meeting on Saturday, 8 October, in the Ferdie Beyers Hall in Louis Trichardt, during which residents from both local and rural communities expressed their frustration with the inability of the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) to guarantee a constant water supply.

The meeting was organised within 72 hours after residents formed the Fight 4 Service Delivery Facebook group that already had more than 400 members by the time the meeting took place. Although the group will focus on all service-delivery issues, their priority right now is water.

For the better part of two months now, Louis Trichardt and surrounds have had to endure dry taps with sporadic incidents of drinking water actually reaching homes for a couple of hours and, in extreme cases, maybe for a day or two. This is due to continuous breakdowns at both the Albasini Water Treatment Plant and water-supply pipeline feeding communities from the dam.

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

Maar een ding: ek vergeet die dinge wat agter is en strek my uit na wat voor is, en jaag na die doel om die prys te verkry van die hoë roeping van God in Christus Jesus.” - Filippense 3:14.

Most recently, on 3 October, the Albasini Wa ter Treatment Plant had to be shut down again because of damaged pumps at booster pump sta tion 3. This once again meant no water for Louis Trichardt and Tshikota. These damaged pumps were eventually repaired on 9 October, after which the pumping of water resumed. Again this “flicker of hope” was short-lived as an apparent pipe burst because of excessive pressure in the pipeline caused the Albasini plant to be shut down again. By Wednesday morning, some residents reported a trickle of water in their taps, while others were still completely without water.

During the mass meeting, speaker after speaker placed a question mark over the VDM’s technical capabilities and the general consensus was that the VDM has neither the leadership nor the technical capabilities to be entrusted to de liver the most basic human right, which is access to clean drinking water.

“It is high time, if our President is honest when he says we need people who are qualified to run these institutions, that we need to raise this issue,” said one of the speakers, Mr Law rence Makhado.

deny people services or water for their own ben efit,” said Muluvhu. Whether this is true or not, several members of the meeting concurred and even went as far as to say that it seemed as if the regions’ water-supply infrastructure was being sabotaged deliberately.

Regarding people benefiting from the current chaos, Muluvhu briefly touched on the issue. “There are water tankers that are hired, on con tract, to deliver water to the people. So, there are people benefiting millions and millions of rands to make sure we do not have water. This means that, even if we try to come up with a solution to try and fix this water problem, because it is to the benefit of someone, they will always make sure that whatever solution we come up with does not work, because their solution lines their pockets,” said Muluvhu.

practically be fixed and problems resolved.

The meeting was somewhat divided about the immediate way forward. Some wanted to protest, calling on the masses to march on the municipalities (both Makhado and Vhembe) in their thousands. Others stated that following the legal route would be more constructive and not destructive as marches almost always turn out to be. But following the legal route as an organisa tion costs money. Whatever route the structure is going to follow, a clarion call was made from the floor for communities of all races to unite in the fight for water as it affects everybody. “What they [Makhado and the VDM] are counting on is that the people cannot unite,” said speaker Mr Mavhimbi Mashamba.

Muluvhu’s solution was for the residents of the region to go and sit down and identify qualified and skilled engineers and technicians to tackle the situation. “If we are going to fix the problem, let us put together a team of technical experts that deals specifically with water. Get this team to access, analyse and survey the problem and pin down a solution. Put it on paper,” said Mulu vhu. Only then, said Muluvhu, can the munic ipality be held accountable for things that can

Regarding the issue of money and funding, community member Mr Hitesh Dave proposed forming a Section 21 organisation. For this purpose, he offered his facility and services free of charge. The meeting decided to form a committee that would take the planning and issues raised during the meeting further. The committee chosen consists of Messrs Chris de Lange, Hitesh Dave, Mavhimbi Mashamba, Kev in Muluvhu, Moses Thovhakale, Wikus Swart, Ms Ndivhadzo Lukheli and Ms Princess Anne Sheilah.

Paulus

het op die een groot taak gekon sentreer. Hy was doelgerig in sy strewe. “Een ding doen ek,” sê hy.

Hy het elke dag en elke uur gestry om Christus in sy volheid, na die rykdom van sy persoon en van sy genade, te ken. Hy wil Hom prakties ken deur aan Hom gelyk vormig te word en die krag van sy opstan ding in Hom te sien deurwerk.

Paulus dink aan sy ondervinding op die pad na Damaskus. Daardie dag het Christus hom gered, sodat hy ‘n nuwe skepsel geword het. Daarom is die drang nou in hom om sy Heiland vas te hou en Hom op die weg van die evangelie te dien.

Hy het steeds onthou dat hy Christus en sy gemeente vervolg het, sodat hy die vernaamste van die sondaars was (1 Tim. 1:15). Dit het hom nederig gehou. Maar hy het nie toegelaat dat sy gister die seën van vandag en môre wegroof nie. Jy moet ook nie gedurig broei oor die sondes van die verlede nie. “So ver as die ooste verwyderd is van die weste, so ver verwyder Hy ons oortredinge van ons” (Psalm 103:12).

“Wat agter is” sien op die “alles” van vers 8. Waarom vergeet jy ook nie die struikel blokke wat jou voorheen gehinder het op die pad van heiligmaking nie? As jy jou hand aan die ploeg geslaan het, moenie terugkyk nie, maar jaag na wat voor lê, die voltooiing van jou heiligmaking.

- Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

One speaker who did not mince his words about the current state of affairs was Mr Kevin Muluvhu. “The issue that brought everybody here today is the issue of water. We’ve had com plaints, we’ve had forums, we’ve had WhatsApp groups – there are so many structures in town that try and speak to the issue of water in town,” he said. Despite this, he said, the problem per sisted and this was why, according to him, the regions’ youth might be reluctant to join these structures. “If this forum, or this structure that is currently being formed, is going to work and is going to be effective and efficient, then I think that we need to be dealing with the problem head-on as opposed to trying to window dress or sugar coat the problem,” he said.

Muluvhu said that, regarding the water issue in town, he would like to point out that water was an infrastructural problem. “At least, that is what we are told. Every second day you would be told that there is a valve that burst. Every second day you would be told that they are fixing the Albasini Water Treatment Plant. Every other day you would be told that tankers - and personally I have never seen a single tanker in town - would come to deliver water. I saw a recent article by the minister of water and sanitation speaking about this entire water problem and the fact that it is actually a cartel of people who deliberately

More promises by Vhembe as anger also flares up in Giyani

By Silas Nduvheni

On Thursday, 6 October, the Minister of Wa ter and Sanitation, Mr Senzo Mchunu, visited the Vhembe region to, among other things, inspect the laying of pipelines from Mavambe village to the Nandoni Dam.

Mchunu was accompanied by his deputy min ister, Mr David Mahlobo, the executive mayor of the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM), Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, the chairperson of Lepelle Northern Water, Mr Ndweleni Mphephu, other councillors and traditional leaders.

Mchunu’s inspection of the project came after angry Giyani residents took to the streets on Monday, 3 October, in protest of the missed deadline for completion of the project, which was 30 September this year. The minister assured Giyani residents and communities close

to the Nandoni Dam that the department was committed to delivering clean drinking water from taps to the communities as promised. “We recognise your anger, frustrations and the disap pointment on the missed deadline, and we take accountability. However, we remain committed to deliver water to these communities as prom ised,” Mchunu said.

According to Mchunu, part of the delay was caused by traditional leaders who blocked the process. “While we could not have foreseen these and other challenges, we are now better equipped and hope to finalise the outstanding

issues today,” he said.

“What we saw on our site visits in terms of the work that is being done here in Giyani represents a great deal of progress to get water to the residents. We are closing in on a trench between Nsami Dam and the river, from which we are extracting water. It is through this canal that water from Nandoni will pass into the Nsa mi Dam,” he said.

Mchunu later also addressed stakeholders within the Mopani District Municipality on the progress made on the Nandoni-Nsami water project.

Mark nominated as one of 2022’s outstanding men

By Pétria de Vaal

“This is something I never expected or went after,” says Sadhasivan (Mark) Pakkiree, well-known local business man. Mark was nominated and recognised by Dr Carl Wilson of the USA as one of 20 outstanding men in 2022 by means of the LMA Awards – addressing the extraordinary achievements and life-changing stories of world-class entrepreneurs and leaders.

Mark shares that Wilson is an international bestselling au thor, multiple-award-winning humanitarian and dynamic entrepreneur – to name but a few. Dr Wilson was awarded “Man of the Year” by LMA (Leadership Mind Ambassa dor), a Nigerian-based compa ny. “Dr Wilson is a follower of people around the world who contribute to or do good things for communities.

“My wife, Roshini, was first recognised by Wilson some years ago - for The Sanjit Train

of Hope. This Train of Hope (in our late son’s name) is meant to provide hope for the financially disadvantaged communities mainly in the rural establish ments. The project is funded solely by Thohoyandou Beer Distributors, which is owned by me and Roshini,” Mark says.

Mark continues to tell his success story by mentioning that Wilson started following him, Mark, for approximately two years. Wilson said: “Your story is a good story” and he invited Mark to do a write-up that was published in the LMA Magazine (available online at bit.ly/3roaJY3).

“The way that our company handled Covid-19 was, for instance, one of the things that Wilson wanted me to include in my submission. We closed down five times in total. The prohibition of selling of alcohol and transportation thereof had a huge impact on the business. During this time, we never panicked and paid all our em ployees in full. Where The San jit Train of Hope is more ‘in the face’, we don’t go for prestige at Thohoyandou Beer Distrib utors. Behind the scenes, we help and assist. Whether it be with our daily cooked meals, food parcels or quarterly ham pers,” shares Mark.

The couple was in Port Elizabeth previously and took over Thohoyandou Beer Distributors in 2016. It started off with 56 employ

ees and now has more than a 100 employees. “We seek to be the best organisation who looks after its people and to be connected to them. By doing this, we have grown. We look at people at face value. We don’t use labour brokers – we do all the contracts and appointments ourselves and are consistent in our policies and procedures. This makes us reputable. We have hardworking, dedicated staff,” Mark mentions.

The actual LMA awards event will take place during November in Nigeria. The Pak kirees can unfortunately not at tend because of other commit ments. “All the award winners have been chosen because they are business leaders contribut ing to society – throughout the world,” says Mark.

Mark is grateful for other op portunities that this award also gives him. He was a speaker at an event arranged by the En dorphin Foundation over the past weekend. His own journey of perseverance and never giv ing up is an inspiration on its own and needs to be shared.

“Many of our 550 customers own enterprises serving hot meals and cold beer. Load shedding causes the serving of cold meals and hot beer. We need to support each other. We are a small community. No matter how hard times are, we do not live in isolation. We need to motivate and give each other hope,” concludes Mark.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar

gelede in die Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het inwoners met skok gereageer op ‘n voorval waar ‘n jong ma van 22 jaar helder oordag deur ‘n man by haar huis in Bredastraat, Louis Trichardt, oorval en verkrag is.

Op die voorblad van 10 Oktober 1997 word berig van hoe ‘n man by die vrou se huis aangeklop het en gesê het hy soek werk. Die vrou het vir hom gesê sy het nie werk nie, waarna hy vir ‘n glas water gevra het. Oomblikke later het hy die vrou se voor deur oop geforseer, haar na die kamer gesleep, met ‘n mes gedreig en toe verkrag. Die vrou het om lewe en dood geveg. Haar bure het gehoor hoe skreeu die vrou se jong kinders, wat in die huis was ten tye van die voorval, en haar te hulp gesnel. Die verkragter het gevlug, maar is kort daarna deur lede van die publiek vasgetrek en aan die polisie oorhan dig.

Ook op die voorblad daardie week was ‘n berig oor die burge meester van Musina, rdl. Abram Luruli, wat in die hof op Musina verskyn het op klag van strafbare manslag. Sy hofverskyning het verband gehou met ‘n voorval op 24 September van daardie jaar toe Luruli se voertuig die vierjarige Thabelo Munzhelele in ‘n straat in Nancefield raakgery het en die kleuter gesterf het. Die saak teen Luruli het gevolg byna ‘n jaar nadat Luruli ook oor ‘n ander kind, die tweejarige Simon Munyai, in ‘n straat in

Nancefield gery het. Ook dié kind is dood. In daardie stadium moes die destydse Prokureur Generaal nog ‘n besluit neem oor vervolging in die saak.

Op ‘n positiewe noot is ook op die voorblad aangekondig dat die Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad wetgewing wou deurvoer wat hulle in staat sou stel om die afvuur van vuurwerke in die dorpsgebied te beheer. Dit het ingesluit dat die afvuur van vuurwerke tot sekere munisipale areas en sportvelde beperk sou word.

SANDF members return home after six months for well-deserved rest

Border Patrol

The joint technical officer commanding of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) Limpopo, Col Chuene Samuel Mabotja, commended SANDF members for their hard work in securing the country. Mabotja was speaking during the official ceremony to release more than 700 SANDF battalion members who had completed their six months’ deployment period around the Musina area.

The event took place at Musina Operational Army Base on Wednesday, 5 October, where members were also awarded certificates of appreciation. The members were deployed around Musina on 30 March this year and were also securing areas such as Madimbo, Pontdrift and Swartwater. The members are

now allowed to take a rest at their respective homes for 24 days before they resume their official duties.

Mabotja said the members needed to be admired because they had put their country and its citizens first. He added that, because the members had worked under difficult conditions and sometimes with limited resources, it demonstrated their love and commitment towards their work.

“Your discipline, hard work, loyalty and dedication make you stand out in your work to protect the country. We wish you all the best as you go to your respective homes to take a rest,” said Mabotja.

He thanked the outgoing battalion commander, Lt Col Nyolo Martin Ntsieng, and various local stakeholders for outstanding work. “You have led this outgoing battalion

very well and we encourage you to do the same in your next deployment. We have no doubt that the support and love you received here from different stakeholders will also be the same with the new incoming battalion commander. Special thanks to the SAPS, Department of Agriculture, SARS, Department of Transport, Port Health, Messina Hospital, Border Management Authority and Musina Municipality for supporting our outgoing battalion commander and our members, so that they could carry out their duties with ease.”

Ntsieng said the successes of his battalion were the result of teamwork and dedication. He also passed on his gratitude to the local stakeholders and the members under his command for giving him the needed support to perform his duties diligently.

Partnership between CPA and KNP yielding positive results

By Bernard Chiguvare

Amidst many stories of land claims that had turned sour, causing even more misery for the communities involved, the case of the Makuleke community, who seems to have es tablished a system that not only works for the people but also adds to the tourism treasures of the country, brings hope.

The Makulekes lived on the north-eastern border of the country, at Pafuri, where the Kruger National Park (KNP) was later estab lished. In 1969, about 3 000 households of the Makuleke community were forcefully removed from their land, which fell inside the KNP’s proclaimed area. The Makulekes were the last people to be relocated out of the park.

According to Ms Mavis Hatlane, chairperson of the Makuleke Communal Property Associa tion (CPA), the community’s opposition against this conservation initially stemmed from the rac

ist approach used by the government of the day. The start of democracy in South Africa in 1994, however, paved the way for this community to reclaim their land and the community agreed to make the KNP a conservation area. In 1998, the CPA successfully reclaimed a part of their land, until the full 24 000ha was returned to them.

Vumelana Advisory Fund, a non-profit organi sation that works with land-reform beneficiaries, facilitated a partnership between the CPA and SANParks (the investor), who agreed to have a joint management board of three members from each entity. SANParks’ role is to ensure the conservation of the land, while the community can use the land for commercial purposes, on condition they take strict caution to maintain conservation measures.

The Makuleke community benefits from several projects. Two lodges in the area, Return Africa and The Outpost, have employed around 101 people, including some from the Makuleke

“Use alternative entrances to KNP”

SANParks News

South African National Parks (SANParks) has urged tourists to consider utilising other entrance gates into the Kruger National Park (KNP), following the recent attack on a group of four German tour ists and the subsequent fatal shooting of one of the group members at Numbi Gate last week.

In a press statement issued after the tourist’s death, SAN Parks acting chief executive officer Ms Hapiloe Sello said the organisation was deeply saddened by the recent spate of attacks on visitors en route to the iconic national park, particularly on the road leading to Numbi Gate south of the

park, “and urges tourists with active and future bookings to use other entrance gates to the park”.

“We fully appreciate that this incident has brought a lot of apprehension to many of our loyal local and international visitors, which could result in cancellations for planned visits to the park and surrounding areas. It is thus important for us to remind our loyal visitors that Kruger has a total of 10 gates that tourists can safely enter from,” said Sello.

In the south of the park, five other entrances, namely Paul Kruger, Phabeni and Orpen Gate via the R40 from White River, as well as Malelane and Crocodile Bridge via the N4 toll road towards Komatipoort in

Mpumalanga, are available. In the north of the park, visitors can enter through Phalaborwa, Punda Maria or Pafuri and lastly, Giriyondo Border Post allows access directly from Mozambique

Sello said with the tourism industry currently in the midst of a post-Covid-19 recovery plan, such incidents under mined the marketing efforts of tourism stakeholders. She called on the law-enforcement agencies to leave nothing to chance in bringing the perpetrators to book. “We also urge members of the adjacent communities to the Kruger National Park to assist with any information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects,” said Sello.

community. The Makuleke Cultural Centre has employed three people, Makuleke Eco Training Camp five people, while Biodiversity Special Projects (BSP) has 26 staff members working for water and in the wetlands.

“The community has come a long way in this process. It has been crucial for the Makuleke Traditional Council to find a balance in meeting the needs of the community, while at the same time ensuring the protection of this biodiverse zone, as this land they now own is a central part of the greater ecosystem of the Kruger National Park,’ said Hatlane.

The CPA has also established partnerships with institutions such as the South African College for Tourism, which offers hospitality training, the Southern African Wildlife College, which provides field-ranger and conservation-re lated studies, and the Tracker Academy, which focuses on field guiding.

Nog net twee kanse om wenfoto’s in te stuur

Kompetisie

Die streek se fotograwe word daaraan herinner dat inskry wings vir die Zoutpansberger se kalenderfoto-kompetisie vir Oktober reeds ingewag word.

Fotograwe kan vanjaar regdeur die jaar, tot en met die derde week in November, vir die koerant se jaarlikse kalenderfotokompetisie vir 2023 inskryf. Die kalender sal dan onder meer deur die Zoutpansberger gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes. Geen inskrywings kan egter vir Desember gedoen word nie, aangesien die koerant reeds einde November die kalen ders moet laat druk vanweë die Kersvakansie. Tot en met daardie stadium sal daar dus 11 weninskrywings wees. Die 12de wenfoto sal deur die beoor delaars gekies word uit al die

inskrywings wat deur die jaar ontvang is en nog nie gewen het nie.

Wat Oktober en November betref, sal fotograwe dus steeds hulle foto’s nog kan inskryf, waaruit een wenfoto gekies sal word vir elke maand. ‘n Maksimum van vyf foto’s per fotograaf per maand kan inge stuur word, maar fotograwe kan vir meer as een maand inskryf. NB – Indien jou foto dalk een maand nie gewen het nie, maar jy voel dit is goed genoeg om weer in te skryf, kan dieselfde foto weer vir ‘n volgende maand ingestuur word. Die foto moet egter binne die afgelope 24 maande geneem gewees het en moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees.

‘n Prys van R600 sal vir elke maand se wenfoto betaal word. Elke maand se wenfoto sal in die eerste week van die daar opvolgende maand se Zout

pansberger gepubliseer word. Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s (verkieslik landskap-for maat) sal aanvaar word. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos (een vir een, indien nodig) gestuur word, of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubert straat 16B in Louis Trichardt.

Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is. Selfoon foto’s is ook toelaatbaar indien die foon oor ‘n goeie kamera beskik. Die kompetisie vir Oktober het reeds begin.

Vir meer inligting oor die kompetisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure). Hoë-resolusie foto’s kan ook aan hom gestuur word per e-pos na news@zoutnet.co.za.

T10-liga beloof lopiefees

Deur Andries van Zyl

Die Louis Trichardt Krieketklub het Saterdag, 8 November, hulle jaarlikse T10-liga afgeskop met twee opwindende wedstryde tussen Limpopo Dairy en die SPB Killers en Jolly XI en die Roaring Lions.

Limpopo het eerste kans gekry om die lang steel in te lê, met Leon Olwage wat ‘n opwindende 69 lopies geslaan het vanaf slegs 23 balle in ‘n kolfbeurt wat 12 viere en drie sesse gesien het. Sy openingsvennoot, AJ Fourie, se paaltjie het egter gekantel vir slegs een lopie, maar daarna het Dewald Joubert opgemaak vir die terugslag met ‘n eweneens goeie kolfbeurt van 74 lopies vanaf slegs 22 balle, wat ingesluit het vyf viere en agt sesse. JP Coetzee se addisionele 16 lopies het Limpopo se telling te staan gebring op 180/2 in hul 10 beurte. Vir SPB Killers kon slegs AC Geldenhuys en Nardus Barnard ‘n paaltjie laat val.

SPB Killers het in hulle beurt dapper lopies gejaag, met dubbelsyfer bydraes deur AC Geldenhuys (26), Zander Volgraaff (35), Warno Smit (19) en Ruan van Tonder (15). Dié telling was egter nie genoeg nie en die span het slegs 118/5 op die telbord gehad ná 10 beurte, wat aan Limpopo ‘n 62-lopie oorwinning besorg het. Vir Limpopo het TE Smit twee paaltjies gevat en Bielie van den Berg, Christian Mkanzi en

Dewald Joubert elk een paaltjie.

In die tweede wedstryd van die dag het Jolly XI eerste gaan kolf en ‘n skaflike 157/6 aangeteken in hulle 10 beurte danksy dubbelsyfer bydraes deur kolwers Khaif Patel (62 van 22 balle af, insluitend sewe viere en vyf sesse), Hassan Jaka (49 ook van 22 balle af, insluitend drie viere en vier sesse), Sahil Patel en Tlakusani Khoza (16). Roaring Lions se bouler Tebogo Mathathi het twee paaltjies laat kantel, terwyl Craig Viljoen, Zaashan Yelukar en Mohammed Langdi elk een paaltjie ingeoes het.

Die Roaring Lions se kolwers het maar gesukkel in hulle beurt. Slegs Fahan Khoja (12) op nommer drie en Jody Buys (13) in op nommer nege kon dubbelsyfers aanteken. Die span kon slegs 72/7 aanteken in hulle 10 beurte, wat aan Jolly XI ‘n 85-lopie oorwinning besorg het. Vir Jolly XI het boulers Hussein Bapu en Adil Bhayati elk twee paaltjies en spanmaats Minhaz Patel, Naweed Jolly en Hussein Patel elk een paaltjie geneem.

Die volgende ronde wedstryd in die liga word op 22 Oktober beslis, wanneer die Roaring Lions en SPB Killers om 13:30 teen mekaar te staan sal kom, gevolg deur die wedstryd tussen Limpopo en die Yetman Yabbies wat om 15:30 begin. Toeskouers is welkom.
