Deur Andries van Zyl

DOV gaan vir eers nie vervolg Deur Andries van Zyl Die Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging (DOV) het einde September besluit om voorlopig niemand te vervolg in verband met die dood van pa en seun André (52) en Danie (29) Duvenhage tydens ‘n skietery by die Viva-vulstasie op Bandelierkop op 28 Mei vanjaar nie. Hy het egter wel gelas dat ‘n geregtelike doodsondersoek geloods moet word na die omstan-

dighede wat tot die twee mans se dood gelei het.

In kort beteken die besluit dat die saak terug verwys word na die hof, en die magistraat wat die saak aanhoor kan getuies roep om oor die voorval te getuig. Wanneer daar na alle beskikbare getuienis en bewyse gekyk is, en na deeglike oorweging, kan die magistraat dan ‘n aanbeveling maak ten opsigte van moontlike vervolging. Hierdie aanbeveling sal dan weer na die DOV verwys

word vir finale beslissing. Die DOV se besluit om in hierdie stadium nie te begin met die kriminele vervolging van die man wat die Duvenhages doodgeskiet het nie, beteken dus nie dat die regsproses afgehandel is nie. ‘n Geregtelike doodsondersoek sal slegs die einde van die regsproses wees indien bevind word dat die oorsaak van dood geregverdig was en geen persoon regtens vir die dood aanspreeklik gehou kan word nie.

Hy het Maandag gesê dat hy agaand, 23 September, in ‘n plas bloed in haar in hierdie stadium nie kans sien om die hofverrihuis in Louis Trichardt ontdek.

In hierdie stadium word word. vermoed dat sy reeds die vorige aand vermoor is, nadat sy teruggekeer het van ‘n ete-afspraak met ‘n vriendin.

Van die begin af was Gumbo die hoof verdagte in die moordsaak. Hy het vir Pauer in die tuin op die familieplaas in die Waterpoort-omgewing gewerk, asook in die tuin by Pauer se huis in Louis Trichardt. Gumbo se dienste is egter beëindig nadat Pauer-hulle hom blykbaar gevang het dat hy steel. Hiervoor het Pauer hom laat aankla by die polisiestasie op Waterpoort, ‘n klag waarvoor hy gearresteer is en in die hof verskyn het. Hy is tydens sy hofverskyning op R1 000 borg vrygelaat.

Gumbo het daarna klaarblyklik uit woede met ‘n terreurveldtog teen Pauer-hulle begin. Junior, Pauer se seun wat as adjudant-offisier in diens is by die polisie op Waterpoort, het vertel dat, sowat ‘n week nadat Gumbo op borg vrygelaat is, hy en sy ma een aand in die plaashuis gesit het. Skielik was daar ‘n klop aan die deur en toe Junior oopmaak, het Gumbo hom na bewering met ‘n byl oor die kop gekap en gevlug. Wonderbaarlik het Junior oorleef. ‘n Week of wat voor die moord is Gumbo in ‘n buitetoilet betrap waar Die 27-jarige Trevor Gumbo bly steeds in aanhouding in afwagting op ‘n beslissing in sy hy by die 80-jarige Pauer se huis op die dorp weggekruip het.

Klein Mateo Venter (14 maande) van Louis Trichardt is uitendelik op die pad na herstel nadat ‘n skadelike bakterie vir maande besig was om gaatjies in sy magie te vreet en hom baie siek gemaak het. Foto verskaf.

Hulp nodig om mediese koste te dek Fondsinsameling Die Louis Trichardt 4x4klub bied op 16 Oktober weer hulle gewilde Gruisgat 4x4-dag aan en hou vanjaar ‘n spesiale loting ten bate van klein Mateo Venter (14 maande).

Mateo het in April baie siek begin word. Ná maande van doktersbesoeke en medisyne wat geen verskil gemaak het nie, is toetse gedoen en uiteindelik vasgestel waar die probleem lê - ‘n skadelike bakterie was besig om gaatjies in sy magie te vreet. Hy is ‘n maand gelede op nuwe medikasie geplaas en volgens sy ma, Verushca, gaan dit klaar heelwat beter en lyk dit of die medikasie begin werk. Die dokter klink tevrede en Mateo hoef nie in hierdie stadium terug te gaan vir nog toetse nie, tensy hy weer so baie begin hoes en opgooi, waarvoor Verushca dankbaar is, want sy sê sy klein lyfie is al klaar deur so baie.

Die mediese kostes om Mateo gesond te kry was egter

meer as wat Verushca in staat is om self te dra. Voordat hy in die hospitaal opgeneem kon word vir die eerste reeks toetse moes sy R29 460.20 neersit, waarvoor sy ‘n lening moes aangaan. Buiten hierdie bedrag moes die pediater, toetse en medikasie ook nog betaal word. Hulle totale uitgawes staan reeds op R47 910.60.

Verushca het ‘n versoek om donasies op Back A Buddy se webtuiste gerig, en die fonds­ insamelingsteiken is vir R60 000 gestel om voorsiening te maak vir moontlike addisionele uitgawes. Tot dusver staan hulle op R8 865.36 wat donateurs in Back A Buddy se bankrekening inbetaal het, en sy sê baie dankie aan elkeen wat hulle in hierdie tyd ondersteun.

Die 4x4-klub het ‘n blouwildebees en rooibok as skenking gekry om uit te loot teen R100 per kaartjie, wat sal gaan om Mateo se mediese kostes te help dek. Twee trekkings gaan gedoen word. Die eerste een is net ‘n gelukkige trekking, wat

tydens die Gruisgat 4x4-dag (16 Oktober) gedoen sal word.

Kaartjiehouers moet egter in persoon daar wees om hierdie prys te ontvang. Al word jou kaartjie vir die gelukkige trekking getrek, kom jy nog steeds in aanmerking vir die finale trekking vir die groot prys (blouwildebees en rooibok).

Die sluitingsdatum vir die finale trekking is 30 Oktober.

Kaartjieverkope sluit stiptelik om 16:00 en die trekking word om 17:00 gedoen. Die wenner kan die bokke self gaan skiet of dit kan vir hom/ haar geskiet word. Hy/sy sal geskakel word om reëlings daar rondom te tref.

Indien enigiemand kaartjies wil koop, of wil help om ‘n boekie te verkoop, is hulle welkom om vir Christa Otto by die 4x4-klub te skakel by 084 374 0505, CW Burger by 082 378 3151 of Riana Otto by 084 400 9941.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “Deurgrond my, o God, en ken my hart; toets my en ken my gedagtes; en kyk of daar by my ‘n weg is van smart” - Psalm 139: 23,24.

od haat alle sonde, ook dit waarvan ons nie altyd bewus is nie. Dit mag wees dat ‘n mens jou uiters bedrieglike hart nog nooit ten volle in God se lig deurgrond en ondersoek het nie.

Net die heilige man of vrou het al in alle erns dié woorde van Psalm 139:23 gebid, maar die sondaar vermy dit. Dit mag ook wees dat ‘n mens skuldig word aan onbewuste sonde omdat hy onkundig is omtrent God se wil.

Onreinheid moet verwyder word.

Sondaars moet gered word en alleen by Jesus is daar redding en reiniging. “Hoeveel te meer sal die bloed van Christus, wat Homself deur die ewige Gees aan God sonder smet geoffer het, julle gewete reinig van dooie werke om die lewende God te dien.”

(Hebreërs 9:14). Ook vir sonde uit swakheid en onkunde is voorsiening in hierdie offer van Christus gemaak, as iemand ootmoedig na Hom toe gaan.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 15 OKTOBER 2021

Lots of hopefuls vie for voters’ crosses on 1 November The DA may hope to improve their position at the Makhado Municipality, but this will be no easy task. In 2016, the ANC secured 75% of the votes, the DA collected 11% and the EFF 9%.

By Anton van Zyl and Maanda Bele The average age of candidates in the Vhembe District hoping to be elected during the coming municipal elections is surprisingly high, coming in at 43. Quite a few “70-plussers” are also on the list of hopefuls.

The lists of candidates in the four Vhembe municipalities as well as the district municipality make for interesting reading. Voters clearly cannot complain about not having options.

Whether all the candidates are worthy of a vote is obviously another question.

Based on a scan through the lists, 1 555 candidates will vie for positions in the four local municipalities as well as for the Vhembe District Municipality. The major political parties all have a presence, and in the most hotly contested municipality, Collins Chabane, no fewer than 22 parties have submitted names of candidates for proportional representation.

The age diversity, however, is interesting.

No fewer than six 21-year-olds can be found, with 12 candidates being 70 years or older. The oldest candidate is the 79-year-old Tshinyadzo David Manyatshe, who stands as candidate for the International Revelation Congress (IRC) in Makhado’s Ward 29.

Manyatshe is very confident that he will bring about change if he wins this ward, which covers the Tshakhuma area. “My age serves as an advantage. I have been around for long; I know what the people need. I have seen them suffer under the apartheid government and I have also

Emmanuel Mahata is one of six 21-year-old candidates who are hoping to get elected.

Mahata is an IRC candidate in Makhado’s Ward 31.

seen them suffer under the ANC,” he said.

He is confident that his age will count in his favour in securing the votes of other senior citizens. “Senior citizens have voted for the ANC because they want grants. That grant does not belong to the ANC, it belongs to the State. Even if we remove the ANC, the grant will remain,” he said.

The IRC also has a 21-year-old candidate on its Makhado list. Emmanuel Mahata is hoping to secure the Ward-31 seat, an area that includes Mashau, Thondoni, Valdezia, Mambedi and Mahamu. To him, the biggest challenge is unemployment. “As a youth, I want to help other young people like me. I want to bring service to the people, and people must not look at my age and judge me. I am capable of doing more, as young as I am,” he said.

In general, voters have a wide variety of candidates and political parties to choose from.

No fewer than 49 independent candidates will also try and secure crosses from voters. The IEC lists unfortunately do not distinguish in terms of gender, which makes judging the number of male and female candidates difficult.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have only submitted the name of one candidate on the proportional representation (PR) list in each of the municipalities. The PR candidates are allocated according to a formula that calculates the total support a political party obtains during the election in each municipality.

When the EFF’s Makhado councillor, Anthony Mathumba, was asked about this, he explained that the IEC allowed them to submit only one name for now. After the election results are made available, the EFF will submit more names. The reason for this is to ensure a gender balance, Mathumba said. If, for instance three men were selected as ward councillors, the names of three women would be submitted to serve as PR councillors.

Fierce competition at Collins Chabane Municipality The Collins Chabane municipality, which covers the often-volatile Vuwani District, may turn out to be the place where the ANC will battle most to hold on to their 84% majority obtained during the 2016 elections. No fewer than 489 candidates are vying for votes, which include 15 independent candidates.

Starting in alphabetical order, the political parties include the Able Leadership, who submitted names of 56 candidates. Their number one PR candidate is Tinyiko Khosa. The ACDP also believes it will do very well in the Vhembe region. This party has submitted 26 names in Collins Chabane, with Khombo Mabasa being first on the PR list.

The ANC has forwarded 87 names, with Miyelani Gladstone Chauke leading the pack. Koto Robert Muthubi is first on the African People’s Convention’s list, while Cope places its hope on Thato Ndobe. The Decent Political Party has selected Hasani Simon Sithole as the number one PR candidate, while the DA backs Samson Muavha.

The EFF’s solitary name on the PR list is Dunisani Lyborn Baloyi, while the Gaza Movement for Change backs Vusiwana Mtileni. The Gazankulu Liberation Congress pins its hopes

on Justice Maluleke. Very interesting is that the Inkatha Freedom Party is also contesting this election, with their number one candidate being Ronald Baloyi.

The other parties contesting here (with their top PR candidate in brackets) are: International Revelation Congress (Tintswalo Chauke), Katekani Economic Power (Mafemani Hlungwani), Kingdom Covenant Democratic Party (Tintswalo Nkondo), Know Your Neighbour (Nndavheleseni Mudau), Malamulele Community Association (Hermon Sithole), Pan African Congress of Azania (Zodwa Miyambo), Patriotic Alliance (Rodgers Chauke), Rise Up Africa/Tsoga Africa (Mohanoa Rabosiwana) and the Ximoko Party (Mbazima Jackson Manganye).

parties and eight independent candidates. In 2016, the ANC secured 74% of the votes, compared to the DA’s 13% and the EFF’s 10%.

The Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) does not have wards and is a “catch-all” for the whole region. In 2016, this region had 607 100 registered voters, of which 46,7% cast their votes. The ANC collected 79% of the votes, with the EFF (with 9%) its closest rival. Many analysts believe that the situation will change dramatically this year.

The names of 134 candidates appear on the VDM’s list for the municipal elections on 1 November this year.

No landslide victory for one party expected In the other municipalities, the competition promises to be a lot fiercer than in previous elections. In Thulamela, the ANC enjoyed 79% of the support in 2016, with the EFF claiming 10% of the votes. This time around, 425 candidates from 15 parties are standing. A total of 16 independent candidates also hope to secure some of the 41 ward seats.

The DA may hope to improve their position at the Makhado Municipality, but this will be no easy task. In 2016, the ANC secured 75% of the votes, the DA collected 11% and the EFF 9%.

The new list of candidates shows 370 names of hopefuls from 16 political parties. A further 10 independents hope to secure some of the 38 wards.

Musina is one of the smaller municipalities, but even here 137 candidates have thrown their hats into the ring. The list includes nine political

The oldest candidate in the Vhembe area is the 79-year-old Tshinyadzo David Manyatshe, who stands as candidate for the International Revelation Congress (IRC).

Staat se saak teen sewe van dorp se jongmense neem nuwe wending Hofnuus Die Staat se saak teen ‘n groep van sewe van Louis Trichardt se jongmense wat vroeër vanjaar gearresteer is op ‘n reeks klagte wat gewissel het van die onwettige besit van ‘n vuurwapen, huisbraak, en veediefstal tot die besit van vermoedelik gesteelde goedere het die afgelope week ‘n nuwe wending geneem.

Al sewe die verdagtes is ná twee polisie klopjagte by twee privaatwonings op 7 April vanjaar gearresteer. Hulle was die 27-jarige Richard Petrus Jacobus (Koos) Duvenhage, die 25-jarige Neil Duvenhage, die 30-jarige Zandroux Hibbert, die 29-jarige Christine Labuschagne, die 20-jarige Marvelique van der Merwe, die 26-jarige Wonder Jere en die 36-jarige Francois Vermeulen.

Van der Merwe, wat aangekla is vir die besit van ‘n onwettige vuurwapen, se saak is van die ander geskei, omdat sy nie met die ander oortredings verbind kon word nie. Die ander ses beskuldigdes staan tereg op vyf klagte van huisbraak, een klag van veediefstal en twee klagte van die besit van vermoedelik gesteelde goedere.

HAMMANN PROPERTIES

Van der Merwe was die eerste om borg (R1 500) toegestaan te word ná die groep se eerste verskyning in die hof op 9 April. Kort daarna is Jere R1 000 borg toegestaan, terwyl al die ander later R5 000 borg gekry het.

Van der Merwe se saak het op Donderdag, 30 September, weer voorgekom. Haar saak is egter tydelik van die hofrol geskrap om die polisie kans te gee om hulle ondersoek af te handel en omdat die uitslag van die ballistiese toetse wat gedoen is op die vuurwapen wat in haar besit gevind is nog nie ontvang is nie.

Indien genoegsame bewyse in haar saak na vore kom, kan dit weer teruggeplaas word op die hofrol.

Die twee Duvenhages, Vermeulen, Hibbert, Labuschagne, en Jere se saak het op 4 Oktober weer voorgekom. Tydens hulle hofverskyning is alle klagte teen hulle voorlopig teruggetrek, nadat die hof geweier het om verdere uitstel te gee vir die polisie om hulle ondersoek af te handel. Wanneer die polisieondersoek afgehandel is, sal die saak weer na ‘n Staatsaan­ klaer verwys word.

Al die beskuldigdes in die saak se borg is aan hulle terugbetaal.

Eileen verwerf meestersgraad in natuurbewaring met lof Deur Andries van Zyl

Triegie-praters by nasionale debat Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se junior en senior debatspanne het kort voor die vakansie begin het op 30 September aan die Nasionale Debatkompetisie in Rustenburg deelgeneem.

Die spanne het bestaan uit (voor, van links na regs) is Mieke Veldman (16), Cindy Vorster (16), Lindy Vorster (15), Lee-Ann Bothma (15), Nicoline Venter (16), Geraldine Venter (16), Elmay Koen (14) en Phoebe Joubert (14). Agter is Junèl Joubert (14), Megan Martin (14), Luandi van Zyl (17), Wulf Schwerdtfeger (17), Danelle Venter (17) en Michelle Venter (17).

Die skool het hulle dank uitgespreek teenoor me. Louise Dekker en me. Zoalize van Zyl wat die spanne vergesel het. Foto verskaf.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

‘n Besluit deur die destydse Groter Louis Trichardt Oorgangsraad om boere te forseer om ‘n heffing op hulle grondwaarde te betaal het hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, vir baie onmin gesorg.

Op die Zoutpansberger van 11 Oktober 1996 se voorblad word berig van ‘n aksiekomitee wat gestig is om die besluit te beveg.

Tot in daardie stadium was heffings beperk tot slegs grondeienaars en kleinhoewes binne die dorpsgebied. Die plase wat vroeër daardie jaar by die dorpsgebied ingelyf is, het ingesluit Vondeling, Vygeboomspruit, Rondebosch, Ledig, Nooitgedacht Melkhoutkopjes en Boschkopjes. Die raad se voormalige voorsitter van die uitvoerende komitee, rdl.

Solly Noor, het aangevoer dat die heffings deur die nasionale regering voorgeskryf is. ‘n Woordvoerder van die aksiekomitee, mnr. Koeks Terblanche, het egter gesê dat grondeienaars ongelukkig was omdat ekstra heffings gevra is terwyl geen ekstra dienste gelewer is nie.

Ander voorbladnuus daardie week was die bootongeluk op die Nzeheleledam waarin bekende plaaslike sakeman en raadslid mnr. Dries “Buffel” du Preez ernstig beseer is. Die boot waarop Du Preez en drie van sy vriende gery het, het buite beheer geraak en in die oewer vasgejaag. Du Preez het sy bewussyn verloor en is inderhaas na die Pietersburg Hospitaal oorgeplaas, waar hy eers ‘n dag later sy bewussyn herwin het. Hy het diep snywonde aan sy bene opgedoen, wat vermoedelik deur die boot se skroef veroorsaak is. Hy was gelukkig om die ongeluk te oorleef.

Op ‘n positiewe noot het Laerskool Soutpansberg se skoolkoerantjie, die Soutie Indaba, ‘n derde plek in ‘n nasionale kompetisie vir skoolkoerante behaal. Die koerantjie het ingeskryf vir die landswye Nasionale Pers Junior Rapportryers-kompetisie en teen topskole meegeding. In die afdeling “Beste Laerskoolkoerant” het die Heuwellander Primêre Skool

van Empangeni die eerste plek behaal. Die Roostak, Laerskool Stefanus Roos van Pretoria se skoolkoerant, was tweede, met die Soutie Indaba in die derde plek. ‘n Ander interessante brokkie nuus daardie week was ‘n kort beriggie oor die Wêreld Gesondheidsorganisasie (WGO) wat voorspel het dat kieme hul titel as hoofoorsaak van sterftes wêreldwyd sou afstaan teen die jaar 2020 aan hartsiektes, depressie en motorongelukke. ‘n Nuwe studie het destyds bevind dat tabak binne die volgende 25 jaar 8,4 miljoen mense wêreldwyd sou doodmaak. Wie sou toe kon dink dat almal van ons 25 jaar later met maskers sou rondloop as beskerming teen ‘n virus wat teen hierdie week meer as 4,5 miljoen lewens wêreldwys geëis het? Die voorspelling blyk wel waar te wees oor tabak-verwante sterftes.

Volgens die WGO maak direkte tabakgebruik tans net meer as 7 miljoen mense jaarliks dood, terwyl ‘n verdere 1,2 miljoen weens die sekondêre gevolge van tabakgebruik sterf.

Oud-Louis Trichardt inwoners Pieter en Theresa Jooste het ‘n trotse oomblik beleef toe hulle dogter Eileen verlede week haar meestersgraad (MSc) in natuurbewaring aan die Nelson Mandela Universiteit (NMU) se George-kampus met lof verwerf het.

Alhoewel Pieter en Theresa deesdae in Upington woon, is Eileen ook welbekend met die Soutpansberg, waar sy in 2013

by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gematrikuleer het. Ouma Lilian Meintjies, wat steeds op Louis Trichardt bly, is eweneens trots.

Eileen het vertel dat sy ná skool ingeskryf het vir ‘n nasionale diploma in natuurbewaring – dit nogal vir iemand wat die minimum tyd buite in die natuur spandeer her. Jy sou haar eerder voor die televisie kry, besig om die National Geographic-kanaal te kyk.

Haar besluit om natuurbewaring te studeer was ‘n uitvloeisel van haar liefde vir diere. Nadat sy die nasionale diploma in natuurbewaring

by NMU verwerf het, het sy haar voorgraadse studies in 2016 afgesluit met ‘n praktiese jaar. Haar diploma het haar in staat gestel om in te skryf vir ‘n BTech-honneursgraad in haar vakgebied, wat sy in 2017 gedoen het. Ná voltooiing van haar honneursgraad het sy in 2018 begin met haar meestersgraad (MSc) in natuurbewaring.

Drie en ‘n half jaar later het Eileen haar meesterstesis ingehandig. Die titel was: A critical exploration of attitudes and knowledge of first-year natural resource management students at Nelson Mandela University,

George Campus. Dit bestaan uit 61 155 woorde, 198 bladsye, 47 bladsye bylaes, 12 bladsye verwysings en nege hoofstukke.

Eileen het in ‘n Facebook-plasing ná verkryging van haar meestersgraad haar dank uitgespreek teenoor haar God en haar familie, naby vriende en studieleiers wat haar bygestaan het om haar graad te verkry.

Sy het gesê dat sy nie sonder hulle hulp hierdie mylpaal in haar lewe sou kon bereik nie,

iets waarop sy baie trots is. Sy het ook haar dank uitgespreek teenoor mnr. Solly Noor, wat dit vir haar moontlik gemaak het om te registreer vir haar meestersgraad - iets wat talle deure vir haar oopgemaak het.

“Een ding wat ek met my saamvat uit hierdie ervaring is dat ek weet wat ek kan bereik.

Maak nie saak hoeveel keer ek platgeslaan is nie, dit het niks weggevat van my wil om sukses na te streef nie,” het Eileen gesê.

and executive chairman of the Masingita Group of Companies which also owns Makhado Crossing, applauded the support from the Limpopo provincial government and said that this was proof of the government’s commitment to working with investors to improve the socio-economic conditions of the people, especially in the rural areas. Development of the first phase of Nkuna City had already commenced on 14 April this year and is expected to be completed by April 2022.

Nenguda urged communities around the Nkuzana and Ha-Masia area to protect the project jealously from vandalism, so that future generations will also be able to make use of the facility.

Hy is baie lief vir lees en die dors na kennis is nog lank nie versadig nie. Hy het vroeër vanjaar Covid-19 opgedoen, maar het weer herstel - iets waarvoor hy besonders dankbaar is.

Op 96 mag dit klink asof oom Ted heelwat van die antwoorde het, selfs asof hy weet waaroor die lewe behoort te gaan. Hy verkies egter om verhale te deel van hoe ander mense sin kon maak

uit die eise wat die lewe stel. Sommige van die hoofstukke is hartseer, ander komies. Dit leen wysheid uit sy eie ervaringe, maar ook by talle ander wie sy paaie gekruis het.

Die boekie, Die Lewe is ...?, is beskikbaar by Leach Drukkers asook by die boekwinkel langs Ou Wawiele in Joubertstraat, Louis Trichardt.

Well-known Donna Greyling graduates in paediatrics and child health daily to Polokwane from our home in Levubu. It was a big undertaking, and took a lot of time and dedication, but it was definitely worth it, as I wanted to prioritise my marriage,” Donna mentions.

Donna and her husband Juan-Ray decided to move to Polokwane earlier this year.

“I have continued to grow to love paediatrics over the years and am excited to live out my calling to help the underprivileged,” Donna says.

“I am still busy completing my MMed research, focusing on malnutrition in infants, which I hope to complete next year. It seemed like an impossible task a little over three years ago, but with the support of my family, friends and colleagues cheering me on, and the confidence that this was what I was meant to do, it has ended in success. I am so grateful to God for the grace to bring this journey to completion,” Donna shares.

Well-known Donna Greyling (until recently from Levubu) attended the virtual graduation ceremony last week Thursday for all those specialising in various fields of medicine. She graduated in paediatrics and child health after writing her final paediatrics exam through the College of Medicine of South Africa this year, and now has a Fellowship in the College of Paediatricians (FcPaed (SA)).

Donna shared with the Zoutpansberger that she did her MB ChB at the University of Pretoria from 2007-2012.

She then worked at Tshilidzini Hospital for her internship and community service. “It was in my community service year that I started to work in paediatrics and fell in love with it. The department was very small at the time, and I was privileged to be a part of expanding and improving the department. I was inspired by the amazing dedication of the paediatricians at Tshilidzini - led by Dr Ravuluvulu,” she says.

Donna mentions that she worked in paediatrics at Tshilidzini until 2018, and obtained a master’s degree in public health from the University of Venda, and a diploma in child health while working there. “I then began my training as a paediatrician at Polokwane and Mankweng Hospital, through the University of Limpopo. For the first three years of my train- Donna Greyling, who recently gratuated in paediatrics and ing, I chose to commute almost child health. Photo supplied.

Limpopo het ingegaan om eerste te kolf in ‘n kolfbeurt wat ietwat stadig begin het. Openingskolwers Chris-Jan Hendriks en Nimesh Watekar het onderskeidelik 25 lopies van 22 balle en 11 lopies van 8 balle aangeteken voordat hulle paaltjies geval het. AJ Fourie, in op nommer drie, het egter die lopietelling ‘n dramatiese hupstoot gegee met ‘n blitsige 61 lopies van slegs 37 balle af. Dit het ingesluit vyf viere en vier sesse.

Ná sy paaltjie geval het vanaf die boulwerk van Waldo van Deemter, het Dewald Joubert (29) en Amir Bux (18) nog bykans 50 lopies op die telbord geplaas, met Limpopo wat hul kolfbeurt

afgesluit het op ‘n telling van 161 lopies vir die verlies van slegs drie paaltjies. Buiten vir Waldo se paaltjie, is die ander twee paaltjies gevat deur die Vikings se Craig Viljoen en Bielie van den Berg.

Die NTT Toyota Vikings het vanaf die eerste bal die telling probeer jaag, met openingskolwer Gysbert Guillaume wat 38 lopies van 41 balle aangeteken het, voordat hy uitgevang is vanaf die boulwerk van Salman Patel. Ná sy vertrek het die Vikings se kolfbeurt egter ‘n insinking beleef, met slegs Bielie van den Berg - in op nommer agt - wat daarin kon slaag om dubbelsyfers van 16 lopies aan te teken. Die hele span is in 18,5 beurte uitgeboul met die telling op 119 lopies.

Van hierdie 119 lopies was 28 ekstras, danksy die boulwerk van Limpopo.

Vir Limpopo het Salman Patel geskitter met die bal. Hy het vyf paaltjies platgetrek vir die verlies van 19 lopies in sy vier beurte. Vimal

Shah het op sy beurt drie paaltjies vir die verlies van 26 lopies in sy vier beurt ingepalm, met Nimesh Watekar en Dewald Joubert wat elk een paaltjie geneem het.

Saterdag se wedstryd was ‘n maak-of-breek stryd vir die twee spanne, met Limpopo wat direk deurdring na die finaal van die liga met 11

11

punte. Die NTT Toyota Vikings met nege punte en Strikers met vyf punte sal nou eers mekaar in die semi-finaal op 23 September die stryd aansê om te bepaal wie teen Limpopo te staan gaan kom.

Die NTT Toyota Vikings sal sekerlik hoop hulle kry ‘n tweede kans.

Ronewa brings back bronze medal from Italy

By Kaizer Nengovhela Ronewa Mudzanani (24), who joined the South African wheelchair-tennis team at the 2021 BNP Paribas World Team Cup in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy on 27 September, returned with a broad smile and a bronze medal to go with it.

Mudzanani, a resident at Vhurivhuri, was born with a disability that deprived him of the use of his legs. This, however, does not stop him from setting goals for himself. He is a workaholic and an indispensable stalwart on the sporting field. Mudzanani is living proof that people with disabilities are also capable of setting dreams and realising them, just like any other person.

He started playing wheelchair-tennis in Thohoyandou Technical High School. When the school was introduced to wheelchair-ten-

“As people with disabilities, we are restricted a lot and undermined in many sporting codes, which gives us more reason to prove people wrong. I will continue to work hard, raise awareness for people living with disabilities and be a constant reminder to all of them that it is possible,” Mudzanani said.

Na ‘n aanvanklik dringendheid om slaggate in Louis Trichardt se strate te herstel, wil dit lyk of die kontrakteurs wat aangestel is nou bietjie spoed verloor het – of die geld is op. Van die strate wat die meeste “aandag” gekry het was Andersonstraat noord en suid van Songozwistraat.

Daar is egter tans baie vra oor waarom die herstelwerk skielik gestop het, veral wat betref die kruising tussen Songozwi- en Andersonstraat. Daar is feitlik geen teerlaag in die kruising oor nie en die slaggate wat motoriste by hierdie besige kruising moet vermy raak net al dieper.

nis in 2014 (when he was in Grade 10), his teacher encouraged him to take part in it.

The SA coach for wheelchair-tennis was very impressed with his progress in the sport.

Mudzanani is hardworking by nature and strives to be the best in everything he does in life, always willing to learn new things as well as achieve greater heights. He even holds an N3 in mechanical engineering from the Tshwane South College.

He encourages people who live with disabilities to participate in different sports.

Alhoewel die algehele wenner van die jaarlikse Hanglip 54-toernooi die speler is wat die meeste individuele Stableford-punte oor die drie dae van spel ingesamel het, word daar ook daagliks ‘n beterbal Stableford-kompetisie beslis.

Die eerste dag se spel op 7 Oktober is gewen deur George Mahlauli (links) en Dumisane Nzimande (regs) en met ‘n telling van 46 beterbal Stableford-punte.

Saam met hulle staan klubkaptein van die Soutpansberg Gholfklub Ryno Gerber. Marius Mostert en Kobus Barkhuizen was tweede na ‘n uittel met 44 punte. In die derde plek was J. Froneman en J. Coetzer, ook met 44 punte. Foto verskaf.

Die Soutpansberg Gholfklub het vanaf 7 tot 9 Oktober weer hulle gewilde Hanglip 54-toernooi aangebied, nadat dit vroeër vanjaar vanweë Covid-19 regulasies uitgestel moes word. Ná drie dae se spel was dit weereens ‘n besoeker, Johan van Wyk van Harrismith, wat die gesogte trofee bo sy kop gelig het met ‘n telling van 111 individuele Stableford punte. Johan is darem nie ‘n vreemdeling in die omgewing en het in 1992 aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gematrikuleer. Die tweede en derde plekke van die toernooi is deur Louis Trichardt spelers Chris Gerber (109) en Roelof Burger (107) opgeraap. Afgeneem tydens die prysuitdeling is (van links na regs) Chris, Ryno Gerber (klubkaptein van die Soutpansberg Gholfklub), Johan en Roelof.
