Tonge gons na arrestasies Deur Andries van Zyl

Die arrestasie van vyf van Louis Trichardt se jongmense op klagte wat verband hou met ‘n reeks inbrake by wonings en besighede, onwettige jag en selfs die besit van ‘n gesteelde vuurwapen, het die afgelope week behoorlik tonge aan die gons.

Die polisie het verlede Woensdag, 7 April, klopjagte uitgevoer by twee wonings in die dorp in onderskeidelik Hlanganani- en Burgerstraat.

Verskeie vermoedelik geteelde goedere is tydens die klopjagte deur die polisie gevind. Dit het gelei tot die arrestasie van ses verdagtes. Hulle is die 27-jarige Koos Duvenhage, 25-jarige Neil Duvenhage, 30-jarige Zandroux Hibbert, 29-jarige Christine Labuschagne, 20-jarige Marvelique van der Merwe, asook die 26-jarige Wonder Jere wie se herkoms onbekend is.

Die ses verdagtes het almal Vrydag, 9 April,

in die hof op Louis Trichardt verskyn. Die twee Duvenhages, Hibbert, Labuschagne en Jere het almal verskyn op klagte van inbraak by beide wonings en besighede, een klag van onwettige jag wat verband hou met die skiet van ‘n bees en twee klagte van die besit van vermoedelik gesteelde goedere. Al vyf van hulle is borg geweier weens ander uitstaande klagte teen van hulle.

Van der Merwe is op haar beurt aangekla van die besit van ‘n onwettige vuurwapen. Sy is die enigste beskuldigde wat Vrydag borg van R1 500 toegestaan is. Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konst. Irene Radzilane het by navraag die arrestasies bevestig en bygevoeg dat Van der Merwe se saak heel moontlik oorgeplaas gaan word na Musina, aangesien die vuurwapen wat in haar besit gevind is moontlik verbind kan word met ‘n besigheidsroof waartydens sewe ander vuurwapens geroof is.

Die motief agter die beweerde misdade word

wyd toegeskryf aan die beskuldigdes se skynbare dwelmverslawing. Dit is hierdie week beaam deur een van die jong mense se ma’s. “Hierdie jong mense steel vir dwelms. Dit is almal kinders wat met dwelms deurmekaar is. Hulle steel nie om kos in die huis te bring nie of enige iets anders nie,” het die ma gesê. Sy het verkies om anoniem te bly uit vrees vir hulle veiligheid. “My kind wil praat, maar is te bang om te praat … ons lewe in hierdie stadium in vrees … ons weet nie wat om te verwag as ons by hierdie hekke uitgaan nie,” het die ma gesê. Sy het verwys na wat die dwelmhandelaars in die dorp moontlik kan doen as een van die jong mense sou “uitpraat”.

Volgens die ma is die probleem van dwelms in die dorp en haar eie kind se verslawing nie ‘n nuwe een nie. “Hierdie probleem kom nie van vandag af nie. Tien jaar gelede het ek name en adresse aan die polisie gegee van handelaars. Tot vandag toe is nog nie een van hulle gevang nie,”

beweer die ma. “Dit is maklik om hierdie jong mense te vang wat die diefstalle pleeg. Ek staan nie vir hulle op nie, want hulle was verkeerd.

Maar hulle gaan nie ophou steel nie, solank as wat daar nie iets gedoen word aan die dwelmhandelaars nie. Ek sê nie dit wat my kind gedoen het is reg nie, maar soek die groot oorsaak voordat nog kinders en jong mense se lewens geruïneer word,” het die ma gesê.

Volgens die ma bevind sy haarself, soos baie ouers wie se kinders met dwelms worstel, in ‘n magtelose situasie. “Dit is nie net slegte ouers wie se kinders op sulke paadjies kom nie. Dit gebeur met goeie ouers se kinders ook. Vir my gaan dit nie nou oor net my eie kind nie, dit gaan vir my oor al die kinders. Ek het hierdie kinders al probeer help. Ek het by kerke gaan smeek, so ook by die polisie – orals – en gevra ‘Mense help asseblief! (Vervolg op p.2)

In fact, according to some learners of Mbilwi Secondary, bullying has become a “common thing” at their top school.

One learner, who preferred to remain anonymous, said they were angry at the school management for acting as if everything was normal, while they knew what had happened. “We are very angry.

I am ... the Way, the Truth and the Life

“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” Luke 18:13.

T

his man who was a sinner dared to approach the Lord. He meant to say emphatically that he was a sinner. Purposefully he applies to himself the guilty name.

He takes the chief place in condemnation and yet he cries “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.”

The worst, most profane, the most horrible of sinners may do, as this man did, was to approach the God of mercy. But it was done in faith. On any other grounds but that of faith in the mercy of God, he who is a sinner may not dare to approach the Lord lest you be found guilty of presumption. But with your eye on mercy, you may be bravely trustful. Believe in the great mercy of God, and though your sins are abundant, you will find that the Lord will abundantly pardon; though they blot your character, the Lord will blot them out, ‘though they be red like crimson,’ yet the precious blood of Jesus will make you whiter than snow.

- Rev Johan Marias (Louis Trichardt Baptist Church)

Arrestasies skok (Vervolg van p.1) “Nie net vir my kind nie, maar vir almal se kinders’. Ek kan vir jou baie ander kinders se name gee wat ook dwelms gebruik. Van hulle het nie eers blyplek nie. Hulle het niks nie. Hierdie jong mense word uitgemaak as die “gemors” en “skuim” van die dorp, maar niemand staan op en vra waar kan hulle help nie,” het die ma gesê.

Die ma sit op moedverloor se vlakte. “As ‘n ma sê ek eerlikwaar, ek kan nie meer nie! Al wat ek wil hê is dat die jongmense gehelp word, sodat hulle ook ‘n lewe kan hê. As dwelmverslaafdes het hulle geen lewe nie. Al wat hulle koppe vir hulle sê is om te steel om geld vir dwelms te kry,” het die ma gesê. Intussen vrees sy vir haar kind se lewe. “Ek was baie teleurgesteld en kwaad vir my kind, totdat ek besef het dit help nie jy bly kwaad en probeer nie hulp kry nie. Ek wil graag my kind help, maar jy voel magteloos! Dit voel of jou hande afgekap is. My kind het reguit vir my gesê: ‘Ma, ek gaan myself doodmaak, want ek kan nie meer hierdie dinge hanteer nie. Ek kan nie meer so aangaan nie,” het die ma gesê.

Die twee Duvenhages, Hibbert, Labuschagne en Jere se saak is uitgestel na 16 April vir ‘n borgaansoek. Van der Merwe se saak is intussen uitgestel na 3 Mei.

IsAbility working very hard to better many lives

By Andries van Zyl Over the last couple of years, the IsAbility Sports Club Limpopo has made great strides in bettering the lives of both local athletes and people with physical impairments. With the aim of bringing everyone up to date with the club’s various projects, the club hosted a sponsors’ evening at the Soutpansberg Golf Club last Friday.

The club’s projects include enrolling a young double amputee, Vhutuhawe Nemutandani, in main-

stream education this year. Two-and-a-half years ago, Vhutuhawe, who was then a scholar at a special school in Thohoyandou, became the recipient of a prosthetic limb, courtesy of IsAbility, the Jumping Kids project and Harcourts. He has now been enrolled at one of the top schools in Limpopo, the Emmanuel Christian School outside Louis Trichardt. The club is also in the process of securing and issuing more standing frames to Fit-to-Fly candidates (children with mobility impairments), while at their Vuwani disabled community agricultural and skills

Pictured during the IsAbility sponsors’ evening at the Soutpansberg Golf Club last Friday are (from left to right) Ntando Mahlangu (double amputee and silver medallist at the Rio Paralympics in 2016), local star para-athlete Sheryl James (World Para-Athletics Championships bronze medallist in Dubai in 2019), Sandy James (one of the driving forces behind the IsAbility Sport Club Limpopo) and Gavin Johnson (ex-Springbok rugby player who, among other tests, represented South Africa in the famous 1995 rugby World Cup that South Africa won).

development project, a donation of maize seeds last year produced a successful harvest this year on land given to them by the council.

Other projects also include the annual IsAbility Golf Day and the development of para-sport in the Limpopo Province. “We could also provide feedback that we are now officially registered as a Non-Profit Organisation, with reg. nr 256-850 NPO,” said one of the driving forces behind the club, Louis Trichardt resident Sandy James.

Sandy said that they were really privileged to have three speakers on Friday who each gave important insight into the journey of a sportsman or -woman, inspiring aspects or events in their careers and encouragement to those present to embrace and create opportunities. “We were told that it is within each individual’s power to make a difference in our province and country in terms of development,” said Sandy.

The speakers included Gavin Johnson (ex-Springbok rugby player who, among other tests, represented South Africa in the famous 1995 rugby World Cup that South Africa won), Ntando Mahlangu (double amputee and silver medallist at the Rio Paralympics in 2016) and local star para-athlete Sheryl James (World Para-Athletics Championships bronze medallist in Dubai in 2019).

In his speech, Gavin said that the highlight for him was not the win [1995] but the unity that the moment and the victory brought in our nation across all racial and cultural and other barriers at a time in our country’s history when this was really needed. He also highlighted the importance of being thankful.

Ntando spoke of the importance of creating opportunities. He shared his journey from a chubby 10-year-old boy who had spent his first 10 years in a wheelchair, to a 19-year-old who is finishing his Grade 12 year at Affies (Afrikaans

High School for boys in Pretoria). He has a successful athletics career with world records, because of the opportunities he was afforded when Jumping Kids stepped into his life.

Ntando highlighted the importance of education and emphasized and confirmed what Sandy had mentioned earlier in the evening - the fact that most children with disabilities in our country are not afforded the opportunity to attend high school and achieve a Grade 12 certificate. “This is a serious problem that we as society can play a role in changing if we activate the necessary structures to stop marginalising people with disabilities,” said Sandy.

Sheryl, Sandy’ daughter, shared her thoughts on recognising that everyone has been made with a purpose and people need to see the potential in others and reach out to them to encourage and motivate them to live out their purpose.

“Basically, we cannot do it alone,” said Sheryl.

She highlighted one of the Comrades marathon experiences she had where she nearly gave up just before the end, only to be encouraged by a fellow runner who was a complete stranger to her and who insisted on finishing the race with her to make sure she got to the finish line before the cut-off time. Sheryl and Ntando are medal contenders for the Tokyo Paralympics, which is scheduled to take place at the end of August 2021.

The IsAbility Sports Club is officially registered with LIMA (Limpopo Athletics) and can issue Athletics South Africa running licences to athletes. They also cater for able-bodied athletes.

Those interested are welcome to contact the club for more details on membership and affiliation (084 506 3333 or is.ability.limpopo@gmail. com).

The club also has a website www.http://isability.co.za.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het ‘n vliegongeluk groot hartseer vir inwo­ ners van die destydse Lugmagbasis Louis Trichardt (LMB Makhado vandag) en Soutpansberg veroorsaak.

Op die voorblad van die Zoutpansber­ ger van 12 April 1996 word berig van twee lede van 19 Eskader, kapt. Leon Cloete en vlugsersant Velle Veldsman, wat dood is nadat hulle Alouette-helikopter neergestort het. In daardie stadium was 19 Eskader nog op die basis geleë. Die twee was besig om patrollies te doen saam met die Metro Nooddienste. Hulle het vanaf Lydenburg opgestyg en sou ‘n halfuur later in Nelspruit land, maar het nooit daar opgedaag nie.

Die volgende dag is die wrakstukke van hulle helikopter naby Whiskey Creek in die Long Tom-pas gevind.

Op ‘n gelukkiger noot word ook op die voorblad berig van die vyfjarige Gerrit Visser en hoe die span van Reach for a Dream en die plaaslike Rotary Anns gehelp het om twee van sy drome te bewaarheid. Gerrit het in daardie stadium aan neuroblastoom gely, ‘n tipe kanker in die lies. Waar ander seuntjies ‘n leeftyd het om gestalte te gee aan hul drome, was Gerrit se tydjie kort. Gerrit wou graag roller blades hê, asook beskermende drag. Hierdie droom is vir hom bewaarheid. Hy wou ook ‘n Springbok-rugbyspeler ontmoet. Reëlings is toe getref dat hy saam met die destydse president en president Ann van die Louis Trichardt Rotariërs, André en Marita Slabbert, vanuit ‘n losie op Loftus Versfeld sou

gaan kyk na die wedstryd tussen die ou Noord-Transvaal en Wellington. Ná die tyd sou Gerrit die spelers van die Noord-Transvaalspan gaan ontmoet.

Ook daardie week is berig van bekende Musina polisieman, konstabel “Bosveld” Pretorius, wat ‘n fratsongeluk op die Nzheleledam oorleef het. Pretorius was saam met ‘n vriend, Johan van Rooyen, op ‘n klein drie-man bootjie, toe ‘n ander boot verby hulle gery het. Die klein bootjie het omgeslaan. Pretorius het ernstige beenbeserings opgedoen. Die skipper van die ander boot het hulle dadelik te hulp gesnel, maar Van Rooyen het nie weer opgekom nie en het verdrink.

Triegies is lekker laf hierdie week Laerskool Louis Trichardt het hulself laf gehou hierdie week. Die personeel het besluit dat dit tyd is om gees te bou onder die leerders en personeel en elke dag van die week kon leerders en personeel volgens ‘n lawwe tema aantrek. Die tema vir Maandag was pantoffels of skoene. Dinsdag was dit lawwe hare en Woensdag was die fokus op “bykomstighede”. Donderdag se tema was lawwe goed en Vrydag was “Reënboogkleure” die tema. Daagliks is ‘n wenner (seun en dogter) in elke klas aangewys en daarna in die graad. Klasse is opgemaak en die gees van die klas is ook beoordeel op ‘n puntestelsel.

Tydens pouses word musiek gespeel en leerders neem deel aan speletjies soos Bokkieresies. Die week het ook gedien as ‘n fondsinsamelingsgeleentheid. Leerders kon suigstokkies koop en dit dan in hul “gunsteling” onderwyser se klas eet. Afgeneem Maandag (onder) is ‘n paar van die leerlinge se skoene. Bo is Graad 1 juffrou Samantha Venter wat Dinsdag afgeneem met haar lawwe hare. Foto’s verskaf.

Hoofstuk 5: Aletta de Melker se donker geheime kom na vore Hoe werk die kompetisie?

Ons het die eerste hoofstukke van elk van die stories geksryf.

Daar is ‘n afonderlike storie vir Afrikaans en Engels. Die uitdaging aan die jong skrywers is om voort te gaan en die volgende hoofstukke vir elk van die stories te kryf.

Die stories sal wissel, m.a.w. een week sal die Engelse hoofstuk gepubliseer word en die volgende week die Afrikaanse hoofstuk. Skrywers kan hoofstukke inskryf vir een of beide die stories.

Met elke hoofstuk moet die skrywers sover moontlik die bestaande karakters akkommodeer, maar nuwe karakters kan ook in die storie gebring word.

Elke Donderdag verskyn ‘n nuwe hoofstuk. Ons jong skrywers het dan tot die volgende Woensdag kans om die volgende hoofstuk te skryf en dit aan ons te stuur.

Die beoordeling word gedoen deur ‘n paneel bedrewe skrywers en daar is ‘n kontantprys

Elke inskrywing moet besonderhede insluit van: * Jou naam * Jou ouderdom * Die naam van jou skool * Waar jy woon Elk hoofstuk moet min-

vir elke week se wenner. Na afloop van die kompetisie sal daar ‘n agehele wenner vir beide stories aangewys word.

Is dit moeilik?

Ons wil graag al ons jong skrywers aanmoedig om in te skryf. Die skrywer se verbeelding en die wyse waarop die storielyn ontwikkel is meer belangrik as taalkundige vaardigheid.

Elk week se weninskrywing sal taalkundig versorg word en aanpassings mag gemaak

eerder oor kreatiwiteit en die wyse waarop die storie ontvou op ‘n spannende en vermaaklike wyse.

Ons het geen idee waar enige van die stories gaan eindig nie, so dit is net soveel ‘n avontuur vir ons as vir die skrywers.

Wie mag deelneem?

‘n Ouderdomsperk van 19 word gestel, maar enigiets jonger is aanvaarbaar.

Inskrywings word nie beperk tot slegs sekere skole nie, maar die skrywers moet in die Vhembe-distrik woon.

Ons sal dit baie waardeer as die taalonderwysers hul leerlinge aanmoedig om in te skryf, maar daar is ongelukkig nie ‘n prys vir die skool met die meeste inskrywings nie.

tred hou met die elemente wat in die verhaal ingebring is. Die mans wat gesterf het, het almal sekere ooreenkomste gehad. In hoofstuk 3 is die element van botilunum-vergiftiging ingebring.

As dit van die tafel gevee word, moet daar ‘n ander teorie in plek wees.

Daar is egter nog oorgenoeg tyd vir nuwe intriges en selfs romanse. Wat gebeur is egter heeltemal in die hande (of eerder skryfpenne) van ons jong skrywers.

Wat vooraf gebeur het?

Aletta de Melker, ‘n hoofkarakter in die storie, is ‘n eksentrieke voormalige dokter wat op haar eie in ‘n reuse dubbelverdiepinggebou aan die kant van die dorp woon.

Drie jaar gelede, terwyl sy as dokter werksaam was by die hospitaal, het ‘n reeks jong mans gesterf. Die rede vir die sterftes kon nooit presies bepaal word nie, maar druk is uitgeoefen op De Melker om vroeg af te tree.

Inspekteur Johan Faber en

HOOFSTUK VYF Deur Lynique Krüger

A

letta de Melker was nog nooit ‘n onaantreklike vrou nie.

Haar donker hare val in dun krulle op haar skouers en sy het die kleinste sproetjies onder haar oë en op haar neus. Sy was heel gewild onder die jong mans op die dorp, totdat hulle almal begin vermoed het dat sy so ‘n wrok het teen mans en dat sy hulle doodmaak.

Sy onthou hoe sy die gewildste meisie op skool was, in die einste klein dorpie waarin sy steeds vassit. Soos sy op haar stoep sit en uitkyk na die wêreld wat voor haar uitstrek soos ‘n graskombers, dink sy aan al haar planne. Haar drome om te praktiseer in Pretoria en later oorsee. Sy wou die wêreld verander het.

As dit net nie vir haar ouers was nie, sou sy nooit alleen moes oorbly in die dorp om na haar broer te kyk nie.

“Die lewe is so tydelik,” fluister sy saggies vir haarself voordat sy ‘n slukkie groentee vat.

“Lettie? Wat sit jy so en praat

‘n befaamde kriminoloog, Anneke Wagner, word aangestel om die sterftes te ondersoek.

Faber vind uit dat De Melker ‘n jonger broer gehad het.

Alhoewel die oorsaak van sy dood vier jaar tevore aan ‘n hartaanval toegeskryf is, was ‘n soortgelyke oormaat van proteïenreseptors in sy bloed gevind, soos wat in die ander mans wat gesterf het se bloed was. Wagner vermoed botulinum vergiftiging, maar die inkubasietydperk is langer, en waar sou hulle dit kon opdoen?

Hulle agtervolg De Melker na ‘n ou staalstoor buite die

dorp, maar terwyl hulle vanuit die verte probeer kyk wat aangaan, klap ‘n skoot en ‘n stofwolk slaan naby hulle motor uit. Kort hierna ontvang hulle ‘n uitnodiging om die plaaslike myn se jaarlikse dans by te woon. Tydens die funksie sak die myn se hoofbestuurder, Ian, skielik inmekaar en sterf kort daarna in die hospitaal.

Terwyl Anneke en Johan by die hospitaal is, daag De Melker ook op. De Melker roep Anneke eenkant en probeer haar verseker dat sy niks met die sterftes te doen gehad het nie.

met jouself soos ‘n ou tannie?” hoor sy Werner se stem agter haar. Sy rol haar oë vir haar jonger broer. “Lewe, opofferings, alles wat ek vir jou moes doen.” Werner sug en sit langs haar op die ou houtbankie wat haar pa nog met die hand gemaak het.

“Let, ek dog alles is vergewe. Ek weet dit was ‘n risiko, maar ek moes.

Jy weet dit.”

“Nee, ek doen nie. Ek moes jou dood vir jou vervals en selfs vir jou ‘n grafsteen laat maak langs Ma-hulle s’n. En vir wat? Net sodat jy steeds geheime van my af hou. Ek weet steeds nie hoekom ek al daardie goed moes doen nie, Werries. Ek doen regtig nie.”

Werner gooi sy arm rondom Aletta en omhels haar. “Let, jy was in elk geval op pad om jou werk te verloor te danke aan al jou pasiënte wat die emmer begin skop het. Dit was g’n opoffering nie. En ek belowe

jou, eendag sal dit alles sin maak.”

Aletta voel effe verlig, om watter rede is sy nie eens seker nie. Sy voel net skielik asof ‘n paar kranse van die berg op haar skouers tussen die wolke is. “Darem het ek met daardie vrou wat nou die dag by die huis was gepraat. Sy’s ‘n speurder of so iets, ek dink. Ek’t vir haar gesê dat ek onskuldig is. Ek weet nie of sy iets daaraan gaan doen nie,” sê Aletta terwyl sy haar laaste sluk tee vat.

Sonder om iets verder te sê, staan Werner op en loop in die huis in. Aletta frons vir haar broer se skielike stilte, maar sy kan nie help om te voel dat alles eintlik dalk sal kan terugkeer na normaal toe nie.

Almal gaan weet.

Uiteindelik gaan almal weet dat sy, Aletta de Melker, onskuldig is.

Judge President’s gripe leads to High Court impasse

By Anton van Zyl The Judge President of the Limpopo High Court’s gripe with four lawyers, accused by him of trying to “capture” the court, has led to an impasse, with other judges refusing to deal with these lawyers in court.

The matter has been referred to the Judicial Services Commission for possible investigation.

The issue goes back to June 30 last year, when Judge President Ephraim Makgoba called for a meeting of the judges of the Limpopo local division of the High Court in Thohoyandou.

Details of what transpired at the meeting are captured in a memorandum compiled afterwards by the judges present. According to this memorandum, Makgoba told them during the meeting on 30 June that “this court, this division here in Thohoyandou, this court has been captured by certain legal practitioners”.

One of the judges asked whether a complaint lodged by a local legal practitioner was documented. Judge Makgoba allegedly confirmed this and pointed to a bundle of documents he had with him. Makgoba then named the practitioners responsible for the “capturing” as Netshipale Attorneys, Advocate Kevin Maluleke, Anton Ramaano Attorneys and SO Ravele Attorneys.

“They think they own this place ... they must be shown that we are not going to fear them neither do they own this division, this is a court of justice and not a playground ... they even have the audacity of deciding their own time... when to litigate and to choose when to set their matters down,” Judge Makgoba said.

One of the judges then enquired if the “capture issue” referred to a “rotten apple or the entire tree”. In response Judge Makgoba said “ya ja leotsa e fetetsa tse dingwe” (“one rotten potato spoils the other.”)

While some attempts were made to resolve the issue, judges in the division apparently felt uncomfortable dealing with cases where the lawyers named by Judge Makgoba were representing clients. As a result, at least one case was removed from the roll in the appeal division of the court.

The matter became public when, on 18 March this year, judges George Phatudi and Khami Makhafola ruled in an appeal application in the Limpopo division of the High Court. The application was brought by attorney Anton Ramaano, one of the lawyers being accused by Judge Makgoba of trying to “capture” the High Court. He appeared on behalf of his client, Tshioma Matamela.

This case had earlier been removed from the roll because the judges felt that they could not deal with it.

In their ruling, Judges Phatudi and Makhafola decided that the case should be heard by the Supreme Court of Appeal. They gave a detailed account of the circumstances that caused them to refer the matter to another court. They said that such a ruling was in the interest of impartiality, equality and the integrity enshrined in the office of the Judge and the administration of justice.

The two judges criticised the Judge President, saying his actions constituted “a contravention of the provisions of the Constitution in respect of the Office of a Judge and impacts the core of judicial authority of the judges concerned.”

on record that the Judge President had minuted in a meeting the complaint that “the judges of this division have been captured by among others Ramaano Attorneys Incorporated”.

“The complaint is still under investigation.

Due to such serious and vicious allegations against the judges of this division this appeal court is unable to deal with this appeal.”

A clearly flabbergasted attorney Ramaano voiced his objection: “That is a shocking incident which I have never heard (of ) before,” he said. The case was removed from the roll. Ramaano subsequently tried to get to the bottom of the “capture” allegations. He filed papers on behalf of his client requesting permission to appeal to a higher court, and also to be furnished with reasons as to why the case was struck from the roll.

The appeal application came before court on 18 March 2021 and in their ruling judges Phathudi and Makhafola explained what had happened the previous year, which they said had prompted them to not hear the case.

A judge on a mission Between 16 and 18 October last year several letters were written to Judge Makgoba, requesting clarity on the “capture” issue. Makgoba requested the judges of the High Court to make input and a memorandum was compiled which was sent to him on 28 October.

In the memorandum, the judges spell out the uncomfortable situation that had arisen following the capture allegations. They argue that the utterances of the Judge President affected their impartiality.

Judge Makgoba responded, promising a meeting after the return of Judge Phatudi, who at that stage was on long leave. When Judge Phatudi returned on 18 January, the registrar could not locate the whereabouts of the file. “The registrar was directed to create a dummy file to enable us to deal with this application. The delay is regretted,” the judges later explained.

Judges Phatudi and Makhafola finally made a ruling on 18 March, giving permission for the Matamela case to go to the Supreme Court of Appeal. They ruled that the capture allegations trampled on the litigant’s constitutional right to access courts.

“Every litigant in any lawsuit has a right to choose and instruct a legal practitioner of his own choice. A litigant has a right to be heard,” they said in their ruling. The judges agreed that such a litigant has the right to “be legally represented by the legal representative of her own choice.”

The judges were clearly concerned about the capture allegations, mentioning in the ruling that this is interpreted as a situation where officials “are geared into making decisions in favour of the ‘capturer’ upon receipt of gratuities or gifts from such alleged capturer. Do judges of this division fall within that category? If so, then the Judges of this Division would bring the administration of justice and the judiciary into disrepute. An investigation by the Judicial Services Commission is inevitable. We agree. We, however, do not fall within that category.”

The registrar of the court was ordered to send a copy of the judgment to the Limpopo Practice Counsel (LPC) and to the Judicial Services Commission (JSC).

Questions were sent by the Zoutpansberger to Khomotso Matsaung of the LPC, asking whether the LPC is investigating the matter. She responded by requesting more information about the Zoutpansberger’s “complaint”. After pointing out the questions were a media inquiry about a High Court ruling, Matsaung requested more detail and undertook to look into the matter.

She did not respond again, despite follow-up messages.

Questions sent to the JSC elicited no initial response, but were then referred to spokesperson, CP Fourie. He responded telephonically saying that his term of office was ending and that he could not comment on the matter.

But Fourie explained that such complaints would normally be referred to the Chief Justice, who would consider the merits. If it was deemed to be serious it would be referred to a Judicial Conduct Commission for a recommendation.

Fourie said that he was not aware of an official charge being filed, but he believed that the judgment sent to the JSC would serve such a purpose.

“Every litigant in any lawsuit has a right to choose and instruct a legal practitioner of his own choice. A litigant has a right to be heard”

Background to dispute The case in question dates back to 2016 and involves a dispute between David Masilo Mulaudzi and Tshioma Matamela, both of Thohoyandou. Matamela occupied a house owned by Matamela in Thohoyandou Section P East.

According to court papers, Mulaudzi had allowed Matamela and her children to live rent-free in the house since 2004. During this period she renovated the house. But, around 2015, Mulaudzi and Matamela had a fallout and he asked her to move out. She was not keen to do this and Mulaudzi obtained an eviction order, which was contested and the matter ended up in the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court.

Magistrate Nemutandani heard the matter in 2018 and ruled in favour of the owner of the house, Mulaudzi. Matamela was given up to 31 October 2018 to vacate the premises. Her legal representative, Ramaano, took the case on appeal to the Limpopo division of the High Court.

On 18 September the appeal application came before the judges of the High Court, but the judges refused to hear the parties. It was placed

Public help needed again for primate conservation Research Roads and power lines are a threat to biodiversity globally as they can increase the extinction probability of local animal populations. It is suggested that since the 1960s vehicles possibly overtook hunting as the leading direct human cause of terrestrial vertebrate mortality.

“In this context and with the support of Soutpansberg residents, I have been able to collect data on samango monkey roadkill incidents in the area since 2012. Through this it became apparent that samango monkeys face a high risk of vehicle collisions on the 30-km-long road stretch between the Piesanghoek/Luonde turn-off and the second Levubu turn-off further east,” said Dr Bibi Linden. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the SARChI Chair in Biodiversity Value and Change at the University of Venda and manages the academic programme at the Lajuma Research Centre.

Linden said she would once again like to ask the greater Soutpansberg community to help with data collection on an expanded project looking at roadkill and electrocution incidents of not only samango monkeys but all other South African primate species, such as vervet monkeys, baboons, and greater and lesser bush babies (see photographs). “This information will feed into a database documenting the overall impact of linear infrastructure (roads and power lines) on primates in the area,” said Linden.

To help with the project’s data collection, Linden said they would need people to take a GPS point, give details on which primate species was found killed and how and, if possible, take a picture of the primate. “Additional information, such as if it was a male or a female or if it was an adult or young animal, is also very helpful.

A GPS location can quickly be shared with a smartphone by using the ‘Maps’ app (by Google), which shows the current location as a blue point on the map. By tapping on the blue point the option ‘share your location’ appears,” said Linden.

AfriForum se Musina-buurtwag was op 9 April die polisie en verkeersdepartement in dié grensdorp behulpsaam met ‘n operasie om mense wat in die plaaslike poskantoor hul intrek geneem het te verwyder. Altesaam agt onwettige immigrante is tydens die operasie in hegtenis geneem.

Die operasie het gevolg ná ‘n vergadering vroeër verlede week met die Musina Business Chamber, die polisie, AfriForum se Musina-tak en die gemeenskap.

Die kwessie rondom die mense wat in die poskantoor ingetrek het, is bespreek, waarna die polisie onderneem het om ’n operasie van stapel te stuur. Die polisie het gevra dat die buurtwag hul ondersteun tydens die operasie.

“Ons het verskeie klagtes ontvang van inwo­ ners oor die omstandighede by die poskantoor.

Dit was byna onmoontlik om die poskantoor te besoek. Op baie kort kennisgewing kon ons aan hierdie aksie deelneem. Ons wil die polisie en die verkeersdepartement bedank vir die erns

Johan en Koben het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor almal wat hierdie ongelooflike avontuur vir hulle moontlik gemaak het. Dit het ingesluit Koben se ouers, Trompie en Annelize, vir hulle finansiële steun en reëlings, asook bydraes gemaak aan die Koben Hofmeyr Fonds vir juis dié doel. Dank het ook gegaan aan E&O Welding Works wat die stootraam vir Shrek gebou het, asook Stanley Thompson wat gehelp het om hulle fiets reg te kry.

Waardering is ook uitgespreek teenoor APEX Multisport vir die gebruik van die spesiale swempak vir Koben, asook die Rugby Players Fund vir die fietsrydrag. “Dankie ook aan Hoërskool Louis Trichardt wat ons ondersteun het en toegelaat het om te gaan deelneem,” het die twee gesê.

Op ‘n persoonlike noot het Koben ‘n spesiale dankie aan Johan gerig.

“Ek wil spesiaal vir oom Johan dankie sê vir sy belegging in my op my journey op die 113. Een ding wat vir my die meeste uitgestaan het van ons deelname was oom Johan se woorde aan my: Dit is nie uit ons eie krag nie. Alles is net genade,” het Koben gesê. “Uit die aard van die saak was Koben ook vir my ‘n inspirasie en dit was lekker om saam met hom te kon deelneem,” het Johan op sy beurt bygevoeg.

Saterdag het die 90 km padfietswedren op Koben en Johan gewag. Hulle het dit op hul tandem aangedurf. “Ons het voorberei met die wete dat ons ‘n 90 km kan ry, maar ons het ons misgis met die strawwe klim op die 45 km sirkelroete. Ons het weggetrek met ‘n 2 km klim en ek het vir Koben gesê: ‘Laat ons net ons bene warm trap’. Daarna het ons bly sak en sak tot waar ons oor ‘n rivier gegaan het. Toe ons onder kom, het ons besef die enigste manier om van ‘n rivier weg te kom is opdraande! Toe slaan ons ‘n 4 km bergpas! Jy klim en jy klim aanhoudend. Glo my, jy werk! En toe, net voor die einde, wag daar vir ons so ‘n finale, steil klim. Ons het hierdie klim die skerpioenstert genoem, want hy het jou so ‘n laaste steek gegee,” het Johan gesê. Die tweemanskap het met swoeg en sweet die eerste ronde voltooi. “Die tweede ronde was nogal woes. Van al die klim op die eerste ronde, het Koben se bene in spasma gegaan. Dit was so erg dat Koben se voete uit die pedale se toe caps uitgeruk het. Ons kon nie stop nie, maar gelukkig kon Koben met ‘n gesukkel sy voete terug kry op die pedale,” het Johan gesê. Hy het bygevoeg dat hy nie presies weet hoeveel hulle op die roete geklim het nie, maar dit moes maklik meer as 1 000 m gewees het.

“Dag twee was vir my meer emosioneel uitdagend as die eerste dag. Ek het gehuil op die einde. Oom Johan het vir my gevra of ek oukei is. Dan snik ek hier agter hom en sê: ‘Nee, ek is oukei, oom’,” het Koben gesê. (Vervolg op p. 2)
