Venter het egter gewaarsku om nie Daar is tans ‘n groter mediese die huidige hoë insidensie van malaria gevaar wat inwoners in die ge­ te sien as ‘n uitbreking en derhalwe sig staar as die landswye histerie rede tot paniek nie. “Wat is ‘n uitbrerondom die veelbesproke listeriose king?

Casper Venter, Malaria is endemies tot die area,” het ‘n geneesheer van Louis Trichardt en Venter gesê.

Tog, het Venter gesê, is dit van kenner op die gebied van aansteeklike uiterste belang dat siektes, Dinsdag aan “As die planete inwoners bewus die Zoutpansberger gesê. mooi in lyn is, dan moet wees van die verhoogde insidenOm die omkry ons ‘n slegte sie van malaria. vang van die mala ria probleem (‘n jaar, en hierdie is ‘n “Die belangrike ding van malaraanmeldbare siekslegte jaar, so op ia is dat dit vroeg te) in perspek tief die oomblik moet gediagnoseer moet te plaas, kan daar gekyk word na die mense baie banger word.

Die voordeel daarin om malaria eeraltesaam 322 mense vanweë malaria gesterf. In Januarie vanjaar alleen der vroeër as later te begin behandel is het die siekte 17 mense se lewens vanselfsprekend. “As die pasiënt ons geëis en algeheel was daar ‘n 51% kom sien [in ‘n vroeë stadium van die toename in malariagevalle gedurende siekte] dan gee ons vir hulle coartem.

“Tussen die dokters in die dorp pliseerde malaria, wat redelik maklik het ons in die laaste week 10 tot 12 is om te behandel en dit is wat ons pasiënte toegelaat in die hospitaal wat almal graag wil hê. Ons het ‘n groot Deur Andries van Zyl

hoeveelheid van hierdie pasiënte gesien – ons praat van ‘n parasiettelling van 2%,” het Venter gesê Sodra ‘n pasiënt se parasiettelling egter 4% begin oorskry, omdat daar te lank gewag is om vir malaria te toets, raak die behandeling baie moeiliker. “Ons het ook ‘n klomp pasiënte gesien wat klaar in die moeilikheid is en hulle moes binne-

aarse medikasie ontvang, want hulle het gekompliseerde malaria,” het Venter gesê.

Volgens Venter is daar dus twee tipes malaria, naamlik ongekompliseerde en gekompliseerde malaria. “Vir ongekompliseerde malaria kry jou pilletjies, gaan huis toe, ons volg op – jy is piekfyn. Die gekompliseerde malariapasiënt is die pasiënt wat klaar begin deurmekaar raak, hy is geel want hy het geelsug en hy braak verskriklik. Hy kan nie die coartem

Dan begin ons dink aan ernstige malaria.

Ons het die laaste tyd pasiënte gehad met ‘n parasiettelling van 18%, 20% en 36% en ons moes hulle in die hospitaal laat opneem,” het Venter gesê.

Hy het bygevoeg dat hulle heelwat pasiënte van buite die dorp, baie van Levubu, een van die lugmagbasis, ‘n paar agter die berg en baie van Musina af, gesien en behandel het. “Die area waar dit nou voorkom is dus skielik groter,” het Venter gesê. (Vervolg op p. 2)

Wees waaksaam teen inbrake Deur Andries van Zyl

Elmarie Meyer van Midas in Rissikstraat was Maandag die eerste persoon om te besef daar is oor die naweek by die winkel ingebreek. Bokant haar kan twee van die drie gate gesien word wat deur die inbrekers gesny is om toegang tot die winkel te kry.

Links: Die inbrekers het ‘n hoekslyper ge­ bruik om die kluis by Midas oop te sny. Foto verskaf.

Inwoners word gemaan om wakker te wees en hul sekuriteit op te skerp, veral by hul besigheidspersele te midde van ‘n hernude vlaag inbrake.

Louis Trichardt word tans geteister deur ‘n groep “daksluipers” wat die afgelope week by talle ondernemings ingebreek het, telkens deur die dakplate oop te sny.

Met ‘n soortgelyke inbraak by Matman in Rissikstraat nog vars in die geheue en waaroor die Zoutpansberger verlede week gerapporteer het, het die daksluipers ook verlede Donderdagaand/Vrydagoggend die Pit Stop drankwinkel langs Soutpansberg Spar geteiken. Soutpansberg Spar was ook ‘n paar maande gelede die teiken van diewe wat deur hul dak ingebreek het en onder meer derduisende rande se sigarette gesteel het. Ook by Pit Stop is daar verlede week deur die dak ingebreek en duisende rande se sigarette gesteel.

Maandagoggend met oopsluit tyd het daar ook ‘n skok gewag vir die personeel van Die Vleismark en Midas in Rissikstraat.

“Ek het agtergekom daar is fout toe die alarm nie wou deaktiveer nie,” het mede-bestuurder van Die Vleismark, Pieter Ackerman, Dinsdag gesê. Hy was nog Sondagaand by sy slaghuis en daar was niks verkeerd nie.

“Met die intrapslag het ek gesien Christa [die ander mede-bestuurder] se lêers lê op die grond,” het Pieter gesê.

Kort daarna het hy ‘n gat in die slaghuis se dak opgemerk. By nadere ondersoek is gevind dat die diewe meer as een gat in die dakplate gesny het. “Dit lyk of hulle die eerste gat gesny het, ingeloer het en die sekuriteitsogie opgemerk het. Hulle het toe ‘n tweede gat agter die ogie gesny, ingeklim en die sekuriteitstelsel gedeak-

tiveer,” het Pieter gesê. Daarna het hulle afgeklim, die lessenaar geplunder en ook die een yskas oopgebreek.

“Die hartseerste is die amper R7 000 se biltong wat die diewe gesteel het,” het ‘n gefrustreerde Pieter gesê. Hy het gesê daar het orals biltonghakies op die vloer gelê soos wat hulle die biltong afgehak het. “So, nou vreet hulle lekker aan my biltong,” het Pieter gesê.

Die groot vraag bly waarom sy alarmstelsel nie hul sekuriteitsmaatskappy laat weet het iemand breek in nie. Pieter sê hy het verneem dat die diewe gebruik maak van ‘n soort “signal jammer”, amper soos die wat ‘n tyd gelede in die Kabinet gebruik is om selfoonseine te deaktiveer.

“Blykbaar kan mens sommer hierdie goed oor die internet koop,” het Pieter gesê.

Die vermoede bestaan dat die diewe so ‘n instrument gebruik het om te verhoed dat die sekuriteitstelsel ‘n sein kan stuur, alvorens hulle die alarmstelsel onskadelik gestel het.

“Dit is ‘n frustrasie! Gemeet teenoor wat hulle gesteel het, het hulle baie meer skade aangerig,” het Pieter gesê. Hy is egter van mening die diewe is goed opgelei. “Dit wil vir my voorkom asof hulle weet wat hulle doen. Dit is nie mogge-troffe skelms nie. Hulle het gekom met ‘n doel,” het Pieter gesê. Buiten vir die biltong is die besigheid hulle kleinkas kwyt, asook bietjie kleingeld wat sommer in ‘n emmer onder die toonbank gehou is.

Ook by Midas was die eerste aanduiding dat iets verkeerd is, die feit dat die winkel se alarmstelsel nie wou deaktiveer nie.

“Die alarm wou nie afsit nie,” het Midas se Elmarie Meyer gesê. As kassiere is sy verantwoordelik vir die oop- en toesluit van die winkel. “Ek het toe vir my kollega Mike du Plessis gewag, want ek wou nie vrou-alleen ingaan nie,” het Elmarie gesê.

Met Mike se aankoms het Elmarie die winkel oopgesluit. “Toe ek inkom by die toonbank het ek dadelik gesien daar is fout. Die kluis was nie op sy plek nie, maar het op sy rug in die middel van die vloer gelê,” het Elmarie gesê.

Ook by hulle sou verdere ondersoek wys dat die diewe nie minder nie as drie gate in hul sinkdak gesny het. Elmarie sê sy vermoed die eerste gat het hulle “te hoog” gesny. Hul dak is amper agt meter hoog. ‘n Tweede en derde gat is toe gesny tot bokant die klein kantoortjie waar hulle afgeklim het. Ook hulle alarmstelsel het geen sein deurgestuur na hul sekuriteitsmaatskappy nie.

Wat vir Elmarie vreemd was, was die feit dat die diewe nie een van hul werknemers se skootrekenaars gesteel het wat by die gat in die dak op die lessenaar gestaan het nie. Hulle het wel die staankluis met ‘n hoekslyper oopgesny waarin Saterdag se kontant gestoor was. As ‘n reël hou die winkel egter nie kontant op die perseel aan nie. Buiten die kontant in die kluis, het die diewe ook gereedskap gesteel, asook die winkel se rekenaar “server”.

Hoekom hulle die “server” gevat het weet niemand nie.

“Miskien het hulle gedink daar is kameras en dat die sekuriteitsvideo daarop gestoor word,” het die personeel bespiegel. Nodeloos om te sê, sonder hul “server” was die besigheid Maandag gesluit aangesien hulle rekenaars nie gewerk het nie. Daar is sommer ook toe voorraadopname gedoen om te sien wat nog gesteel is.

Plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder konst.

Irene Radzilane het Dinsdag by navraag bevestig dat die sake by die polisie aangemeld is en tans ondersoek word. Sy het egter gesê dat nog niemand in verband met die inbrake aangekeer is nie.

Vhembe munisipaliteit sê probleme met watertoevoer is aangespreek Deur Isabel Venter

Daar is genoeg water in die dam, maar niks in huise of besighede se krane nie?

Die krane in Louis Trichardt het weereens opgedroog. Dit wil egter blyk dat die watertekorte inwoners nie meer ontstel nie, en dat dit half gelate aanvaar word as die nuwe norm in die dorp.

Die eienaar van die Patch-Up-And-Go karwasdiens, mnr. Piet van der Merwe, was egter beslis nie in sy noppies nie. Hy moes die afgelope week noodgedwonge ‘n watertenk installeer net sodat hy kan voortgaan met sy besigheid. Buiten vir uitgawes wat hy moes aangaan was dit bykans ‘n onbegonne taak om die tenk vol water te kry.

Sy besigheidsperseel in Meyerstraat beskik nie oor ‘n boorgat nie, en Piet moes water aanvra by die Makhado Munisipaliteit. Piet het wel na ‘n groot gesukkel ‘n persoon gekry wat die watertrok kon stuur, maar hy kon steeds nie ‘n persoon in die hande kry wat kon verduidelik hoekom die water op sy perseel skielik opgedroog het nie.

Die beste wat Piet kon uitvind was dat daar glo werk gedoen is aan die waterpype en dat daar

moontlik ‘n kraan is wat toegedraai is en net nie weer oopgemaak is nie.

Die omliggende besighede, waarmee die Zoutpansberger ook gesels het, sê hierdie tipe watertekorte is niks nuut is nie. Hulle almal het al plan gemaak, hetsy deur water te stoor in dromme of tenks om te gebruik as daar nie munisipale water is nie.

Intussen het die Vhembe Distriksmunisipaliteit (VDM) verlede week hul stilswye verbreek oor die dorp se waterkwessies. Die koerant het dié munisipaliteit in Februarie genader vir kommentaar, nadat dit aan die lig gekom het dat munisipale werkers die kragtoevoer na die Albasini pompstasie gesaboteer het omdat hulle besig was met ‘n staking. Verder het die munisipaliteit ook gesê dat onwettige wateraansluitings op die Albasini pyplyne ‘n bydraende faktor is tot die mees onlangse watertekorte.

By navraag het die VDM op 22 Februarie gesê dat dit die Makhado Munisipaliteit se werkers in die elektrisiteitsafdeling is wat staak. Die werkers het aangedring dat hulle oortyd uitbetalings gemaak moet word alvorens hulle hul normale dag-tot-dag

aktiwiteite sal hervat. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het dit ontken en verduidelik dat dit die VDM se werkers is wat net in die munisipale gebied van die Makhado Munisipaliteit werksaam is.

Die VDM het egter voet by stuk gehou en die vinger gewys na die Makhado Munisipaliteit. In ‘n e-pos gedateer 7 Maart het die VDM verduidelik dat hulle nie die aangeleentheid [om die dorp se watertoevoer te saboteer] as krimineel beskou nie, omdat dit ‘n “arbeidsgeskil tussen die werkgewer (Makhado Munisipaliteit) en hulle werknemers” was.

“Die plaaslike munisipaliteit het vinnige ingegryp om die geskil van die elektrisiteitspersoneel op te los om enige arbeidsoptrede te verhinder,” het die VDM in hul e-pos geskryf.

“Die onderbreking in die elektrisiteitstoevoer is opgelos en die wateraanleg funksioneer weer normaal,” het die e-pos verder gesê.

Sover dit die onwettige wateraansluitings betref, het die VDM dit alles ontken en verduidelik dat dit eerder diefstal en vandalisme van hul waterinfrastruktuur was. Die VDM se e-pos het verduidelik dat

daar in Februarie elektrisiteitskabels gesteel is by die Nooitgedacht-pompstasie en dat dit gelei het tot watertekorte in Louis Trichardt, Madombidzha en Kutama. “Die munisipaliteit het dié kabels herstel en die watertoevoer uitdagings is aangespreek,” het die VDM gesê.

Geen inligting was teen druktyd beskikbaar oor waterkrane wat nie weer oopgemaak word as daar klaar aan die pyplyne gewerk word nie. Die Makhado Munisipaliteit het by navraag gesê dit is nie vir hulle om dié vrae te antwoord nie, maar die VDM.

Medici waarsku teen buitengewone toename in malaria (Vervolg van p. 1) Hy het bygevoeg dat baie van die pasiënte nie in malariagebiede was nie, alhoewel hulle dalk besmet kon word deur die sogenaamde “taxi-muskiete” wat die siekte in taxi’s oor ver afstande kan versprei.

“Maar hierdie is te veel gevalle daarvoor. As dit in Pretoria gebeur, dan sê hulle dit is die “taxi muskie­ te”. Maar ons sit so op die [malaria-area] grens. Ek dink dus ons grense skuif so ‘n bietjie as gevolg van weersomstandighede en baie ander faktore wat ‘n rol speel. Ek dink mens moet wegbeweeg van vingers wys en besef ons bly in ‘n area wat op die rand is van ‘n malaria-area en ons gaan sekere jare meer malaria gevalle hê as ander jare weens ‘n kombinasie van faktore,” het Venter gesê.

Dit is presies die huidige situasie. “As die planete mooi in lyn is, dan kry ons ‘n slegte jaar, en hierdie is ‘n slegte jaar, so op die oomblik moet mense baie banger wees vir malaria as listeriose,” het Venter gesê. Hy het egter bygevoeg dat dit nie beteken dat almal nou skielik moet begin malariapille sluk nie.

“Dit is altyd goed om onder ‘n net te slaap of ‘n goeie muskietwerende middel aan te smeer. Daar is geen nodigheid vir profilakse pille vir ons wat

hier bly nie,” het Venter gesê.

Hy het weer daarop klem gelê dat dit belangrik is vir inwoners om ‘n verhoogde indeks vir suspisie ten opsigte van malaria te hê. In dié verband het hy gewaarsku dat malaria homself kan voordoen met enige simptome. “Ek het ‘n pasiënt gehad met net gastroënteritis. Sy was bang vir listeriose. Sy was egter so siek van malaria, sy wou amper doodgaan, met ‘n parasiettelling van 36%,” het Venter gesê.

Gewoonlik manifesteer malariasimp­tome soortgelyk aan griep simptome. “Met ander woorde, jy het lyfseer, hoofpyn, voel baie pap, is moeg, somtyds voel jou vel sensitief en dan kan jy naarheid hê en jy kan diarree hê. Eintlik kan jy enige simptome in die boek hê as gevolg van malaria. Moet dus nie sê: Ek het nie hoofpyn nie, ek het net lyfseer, daarom het ek nie malaria nie. Jy moet onthou die enigste ou wat die boek lees, is die dokter. Die parasiet lees nie die boek nie, hy maak soos hy wil,” het Venter gesê.

Die inkubasieperiode vir malaria is gewoonlik so 10 tot 21 dae. “As jy wonder, gaan sien jou dokter.

Wat mense nou doen is hulle wil reguit laboratorium toe gaan en hulle laat toets. Dit is egter beter

om verwys te word, want die dokter ondersoek jou en hy kan onmiddellik sien is jy in die knyp of is jy redelik orraait. Daarvolgens vra ons ander bloedtoetse aan, want partykeer het jy ‘n lewerfunksie- of ‘n nierfunksietoets daarmee saam nodig. Nou het jy gegaan en positief getoets vir malaria, maar nou moet jy weer teruggaan, want die dokter wil nog ander toetse ook hê,” het Venter gesê.

Ter afsluiting het Venter weereens daarop klem gelê dat die geheim van malariabehandeling in vroeë diagnose lê. “So as jy, of jou kind, of jou familie of enige vriend van jou simptome het wat kan inpas met malaria, moedig hulle aan om hulle gesondheidspersoon of hulle kliniek te gaan sien om hulleself te toets vir malaria en om diagnose te bevestig. Dan moet mense ook besef dat as dit nie malaria is nie, jy moet aanhou toets totdat jy ‘n ander diagnose kry. Net omdat jy een negatiewe toets gehad het, kan jy nie ophou toets nie. Vandag het jy ‘n negatiewe toets gehad en jy sê vir jouself die volgende dag: Ek het nie malaria nie, want ek was by die dokter. Jy kan altyd ‘n tweede en derde toets doen en partykeer kom hy uit. Mens moet wakker wees,” het Venter gesê.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe “Een ding het ek van die Here begeer ...” Psalm 27:4.

W

at doen jy as daar één brandende hartsbegeerte by jou wakker word wat weier om by “gebarste reënbakke” (Jer. 2:13) tevrede gestel te word? Jou begeerte na die ware Bron van ewigdurende sielsversadi­ging sal nooit deur enigiets anders, as net deur Homself, bevredig kan word nie. Daar is ‘n leë plek in jou hart wat net Hy kan vul. Sy hunkerende liefde trek jou na Homself, daarom werk Hy so kragtig en teer in jou “om te wil , sowel as om te werk na Sy welbehae” (Fil. 2:13).

Gelukkig is die mens in wie hierdie een begeerte so ‘n dors word, dat dit te alle koste geles moet word. Die eerste soort dors wat ons na ware lewe en versadiging lei, is die van ‘n sondaar wat na versekering van kindskap en vergifnis van sonde smag, die verlange na God se rus van ‘n skuldige gewete.

Met die versekering van God se vergifnis, kom daar innerlike vrede en onuitspreeklike blydskap. Die Here het dit so beskik dat niemand daarvoor hoef te wag of te werk nie.

Ons moet net glo dat ons Jesus as Verlosser ontvang (Joh. 6:29).

Die hart wat deur ‘n intense sieledors op hierdie “een ding” ingestel is, stel nie meer belang in die tydelike genot van die sonde nie. Hy mik altyd hoër en sal nooit rus totdat hy die Here, in al Sy heerlikheid, van aangesig tot aangesig in die hemel sien nie.

Listeriosis - is daar rede tot paniek?

Deur Andries van Zyl

Die Zoutpansberger het hierdie week by plaas­ like geneesheer en kenner op die gebied van aansteeklike siektes dr. Casper Venter van Louis Trichardt gaan uitvind of daar regtig rede tot paniek is wat betref die huidige uitbreking van listeriose.

“Vir wie is dit ‘n probleem? Dit is vir mense met ‘n swak immuunstelsel. Dit sluit in die neonate of baie klein babatjies, baie ou mense, jou diabete, jou HIV pasiënte, en jou kankerlyers op chemoterapie.

Meeste van ons val dus nie in daardie groep nie.

Daardie groep maak klaar ‘n baie klein deel van die algemene bevolking uit, so per se is dit al klaar nie rede tot paniek nie,” het Venter gesê.

Tog is die huidige listeriose uitbreking steeds een van die grootste nog in die moderne geskiedenis, met ‘n dodetal van meer as 180 mense sedert 1 Januarie 2017. Venter sê egter mense moet dinge in perspektief plaas. “Hoeveel mense gaan per dag dood in motorongelukke? … Dit is ‘n interessante ding hoe mense daarna kyk. Die oomblik as daar ‘n siekte is wat jy kan kry, dan raak almal paniekbevange, maar almal laat hulle kinders op

die agterste sitplek [van hul voertuie] sit sonder ‘n sitplekgordel,” het Venter gesê.

Listeriose is landswyd ‘n reuseprobleem en die Departement van Gesondheid het maande geskarrel om die oorsprong van die uitbreking vas te stel. Dit kon hulle intussen bepaal, maar Venter wou hom geensins uitlaat hieroor nie.

“Is dit plaaslik ‘n groot probleem vir ons?” is die vraag wat Venter gevra het. Hy wou die punt tuisbring dat, as daar gekyk word na die Nasionale Instituut vir Oordraagbare Siektes (NIOS) se situasieverslag tot 8 Maart, lê Limpopo redelik laag af op die lys van gevalle, met ‘n totaal van 47 gevalle tot dusver en sewe sterftes vanaf 1 Januarie 2017.

Venter het gesê dat listeriose self nie ‘n persoon doodmaak nie. “Listeriose veroorsaak meningitis, en hy veroorsaak gastroënteritis, waarvan jy dan doodgaan as gevolg van dehidrasie. Dit is soos cholera. Die cholera maak jou gedehidreer en as jy nie behandeling kry nie, gaan jy dood.”

Die belangrikste om te besef, het Venter gesê, is dat meeste mense listeriose kry, maar hulle raak nie regtig daarvan siek nie. “Jy sal daardie polonie eet en dan is jy piekfyn. Of jy kry ‘n matige gastro. As jy dus nou na my toe kom en jy sê jy het Rainbow

Daar is steeds tyd om in te skryf vir jaarlikse CANSA Relay For Life Die nuwe CANSA Relay For Life Louis Tri­ chardt-komitee is volstoom aan die gang en nooi elke inwoner uit om te kom deel in die groot geb­ eurtenis eerskomende Vrydagaand, 16 Maart.

“Vrydag is beslis nie ‘n dag om uit die dorp te wees nie! Die nuwe komitee beplan heelwat pret en plesier. Natuurlik gaan daar nog die gebruiklike ‘Survivor lap’ wees en die Luminaria – waar ons die kankerpasiënte gedenk wat nog die stryd stry en dié eer wat die stryd verloor het,” het die komitee gesê.

Die amptelike opening is 18:00 op Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se sportveld, waarna die “Survivors” hul rondte gaan loop. Direk daarna is die “Caregiver” rondte, gevolg deur die onderskeie spanne. “As jy nog nie jou span ingeskryf het nie – MAAK GOU! Daar is nog bietjie tyd,” het die komitee gesê.

Wanneer dit donker is, word die Luminaria funksie gehou en almal word uitgenooi om deel te neem aan die geleentheid om die mense wat vir altyd in hul geliefdes se harte sal voortleef, te gedenk en eer.

“Let the fun begin – dis wanneer ons lekker verder loop en allerhande kaperjolle uithaal om die aand interessant te maak. Daar sal onder meer ‘n pajama-, funny hat- en dress-up rondte wees, om maar ‘n paar te noem. Bring jou plakkies, tekkies of wat jy ook al in gemaklik kan loop en spandeer hierdie CANSA Relay for Life saam met die nuwe komitee en die CANSA personeel,” het die komitee gesê.

Deelname kos R500 per span van 10 lede of R50 per individuele inskrywing. Laer- en voorskoolse kinders kan egter gratis deelneem. Om 23:45 sal daar ‘n afsluitingseremonie wees waar die pryse uitgedeel sal word aan die wenners van die onderskeie toekennings, soos beste spangees, mees eenvormige span, jongste span en nog vele meer.

“Kom geniet gerus die tyd saam met ons. Daar is ook kosstalletjies met die lekkerste hamburgers en pannekoek beskikbaar,” het die komitee gesê.

Vir meer inligting, skakel Riana Bronkhorst by 082 663 5719, Christopher Combrink by 072 681 1949 of Heila Oosthuizen by 082 525 3452.

Persone en spanne wat verlede jaar trofeë ontvang het, word versoek om dit voor Vrydag by die Fuji Shop by BB Mount Fuji in te handig.

verassingsdraai – elke woonstel by Laat Lente en Herfsakker het ‘n groot pakkasie van krui­ deniersware ontvang. Onder leiding van mevv.

Stewart en De Wet is die leiers opgedeel met vier leerders in ‘n span en hulle het gesorg dat geen woonstel oorgeslaan is nie.

Blikkieskos, rys, toiletpapier, skoonmaakgoed en nog baie meer is uitgedeel. Julle poging om “menswees” te bevorder was beslis ‘n groot sukses!

Die groenteman en Laerskool Louis Trichardt, baie dankie vir julle “omgeedag”. Baie, baie dankie.

“Kersfeesvrag” kos en klere word opreg waardeer Frans van der Merwe van Louis Trichardt het die volgende bedanking ingestuur:

S

es sorgbehoewende mense word by my aan huis versorg. Wat ‘n fantastiese verassing toe ‘n vriendelike onderwyseres met ‘n bussie met leerlinge van Louis Trichardt Laerskool opdaag met ‘n ‘Kersfeesvrag’ kos en klere.

In my oorweldigde verassing het ek skandelik nagelaat om die name te vra van die hoog gewaardeerde weldoeners. Op hierdie manier wil ek en ons hartlik sê: Baie dankie vir jul bedagsaamheid. Seënwense vir jul almal.

Chicken polonie geëet en jy voel nie lekker nie, dan kyk ek na jou en sê ja, dit kan wees dat jy listeriose het. Ek gaan nie jou daarvoor behandel nie, want jy is ‘n gesonde ou met geen risikofaktore nie. Jou immuunsisteem gaan die oorhand kry. Jy gaan sleg voel vir ‘n week en dan gaan jy orraait wees. As jy ‘n ou is met risikofaktore, dan gaan ek dalk ‘n bloedtoets op jou aanvra. Ek gaan jou steeds nog nie eers behandel nie. Ek gaan klinies na jou kyk en as ek sien jy is klinies in die moeilikheid, dan kan ‘n mens jou begin behandel. Dit is dus eintlik ‘n siekte wat min mense regtig aantas … ek dink mense moet besef dit is nie iets wat skielik soos ‘n veldbrand deur die dorp gaan trek nie,” het Venter gesê.

Tog bly voorsorg beter as behandeling wat betref die simptome en hoe om die siekte te vermy. Die simptome vir listeriose sluit in koors, ‘n stywe nek, verwarring, algemene swakheid en braking, wat gewoonlik deur diarree voorafgegaan word. Om te voorkom dat jy in die hospitaal beland met hierdie bakteriële siekte, het NIOS heelwat wenke op hul webblad oor hoe om die siekte te voorkom. Dit sluit in om jou yskas uit pak en te was met ‘n mengsel van een teelepel bleikmiddel (Jik) op een liter water. Gooi die oplossing oor die moontlik besmette oppervlakte uit en laat staan vir twee tot tien minute voordat dit opgevee word. Kombuisware soos messe en vurke, potte en panne kan ook met die bleikmiddel skoongemaak word. Vir nog wenke en inligting, besoek http://www.nicd.ac.za.

Louis Trichardt se inwoners het met hart­ seer verneem van die dood van tannie Girla Naudé (83) of 8 Maart. “Dit is het heimwee wat ons afskeid neem van tannie Girla Naudé, ma, ouma, oumagrootjie en vriendin, en een van die laaste ware dames in die gemeenskap. Vir baie jare was sy die vriendelike gesig in Becks Apteek, maar die ouer inwoners sal haar selfs onthou van Ciras Kafee se dae. Tannie Girla is skielik gediagnoseer met kanker en ons is wel dankbaar vir ‘n kort siekbed,” het die familie geskryf. Hulle het hul opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor dr. De Wet en personeel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle tannie Girla vind Vrydag, 16 Maart, om 14:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente plaas. Foto verskaf.

Quranic Verse It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and the reckoning of time.

God did not create it but with truth, He makes the signs manifest for a people who have knowledge.” Qur’an 10:5 Explanation of the verse God has many manifestations in the heavens and the earth.

Perhaps the greatest and most manifest of these are that of the sun and moon and the alternation of the night and day, for these are ever present before each and every human being.

Our Creator is All-Wise, for there is a system, a wisdom and a design in every particle of His creation. Such signs of His clearly points to the realities that are hidden behind them, but only those people who free themselves from the prejudices of ignorance and acquire knowledge from the sources which God has provided can reach those realities.

When you witness the signs of God’s creation and wisdom all around you, how can you then not be humbled to the glory and majesty of the One and only Creator who made them? Blessed is he who created the amazing universe with innumerable structures and patterns which continue to astound the most intelligent of minds. Alas, to him be all praise.

Police warn “couples” to avoid secluded areas In the ever-continuing battle against crime, the Makhado SAPS have warned residents to steer clear of secluded areas in Louis Trichardt.

This follows a recent upsurge in the number of people who have been attacked while they were parked in areas that are known hotspots for criminal activities.

One such a spot is the bushes at the top of River Street, where it turns into De La Rey Street. This spot is popular among “couples” who want some privacy when they want to spend some time alone in each other’s company. In recent weeks, many of these “couples” have fallen victim to ruthless thugs. In some cases, people have been robbed at

knifepoint and one man was reportedly given a slash over the head by a robber.

Sadly, however, these cases are not always reported to the police, for obvious reasons. Other hotspots that residents are being warned against include the subway corner of the N1 and Stubbs Street, as well as the area surrounding the railway crossing in Malherbe Street. One of the newer hotspots in town is the park bordering the Information Centre on the corner of the N1 and Songozwi Street. “We have some robbery cases that have been reported from there, especially at night and when it’s not busy,” said the spokesperson for the Makhado police, Const Irene Radzilane. “People park under the trees and in the bushes, and they should refrain from doing this,” Radzilane warned.

Laerskool Louis Trichardt het verlede week hulde gebring aan personeel en leerlinge wat oor die afgelope 112 jaar van die skool se bestaan oorlede is. Altesaam 42 name is onthul op die inhuldigingsklok van die skool wat nou ook instaan as ‘n gedenkmuur. Die klok is telkens gelui nadat elke naamplaatjie onthul is. Triegies se adjunkhoof, me. Irene Adendorff, het die geleentheid gereël. Foto verskaf.

‘n Suksesvolle sustersaamtrek vir lidmate van die Gereformeerde Kerke in Limpopo het Saterdag op Louis Trichardt plaasgevind.

Sowat 200 vroue het die geleentheid in die Gereformeerde Kerk bywoon. Die redaktrise van die Gereformeerde Vroueblad, mev. Cobie Steyn, was die gasspreker tydens die saamtrek en die tema was Skuil onder God se vleuels.

Afgeneem tydens die geleentheid is, van links na regs, mev. Hanlie Nagel, plaas­like pastoriemoeder, mev. Ans van der Walt, ds.

Abel Steyn, leraar van die Gerefor­meerde Kerk in Lydenburg, sy vrou Cobie, en die plaaslike leraar, ds. Innes Nagel. Tannie Ans is die vrou van wyle ds. Martiens van der Walt en is van Pietersburg. Sy is 93 jaar en was die oudste suster by die saamtrek. Op ‘n vraag hoe sy so op en wakker bly, was haar antwoord: “Ek oefen drie keer per week in die gimnasium maar stap altyd eers nege kilometer op die treadmill voordat ek my oefening doen.” Ryan Walt (panfluit) en sy broer, die sanger Stephen Sterling, het as gas­­kunstenaars by die geleentheid opgetree.

Aanstaande jaar se saamtrek sal deur die susters van Pietersburg-Noord aangebied word. Foto verskaf.

Somebody has systematically dug a trench around the huge Modjadji cycad in the municipal park on the corner of Forestry and Louis Botha Street since last week in a effort to steal it. The situation has since been reported to the local Department of Environmetal Affairs, who has handed the matter over to their environmental compliance and enforcement office in Thohoyandou for further investigation and possible action.

De Beers improve engagement with mining communities through fairs Mining News

De Beers Venetia mine has been hosting community fairs in Blouberg and Musina over the past week as part of the mine’s strategy to improve engagement with the mining communities at grassroots level.

According to De Beers, the fairs were designed to bring communities closer to Venetia mine and highlight opportunities in key socio-economic development focus areas, such as local procurement, supplier and enterprise development, local employment and community skills development, as well as corporate social investment.

Since January 2018 to date, the mine said in a press release, Venetia mine has awarded 14 new three-year contracts of over R90 million to local suppliers within its labour-sending areas. During the same period, the mine spent R15 million on their existing local suppliers.

The mine currently has 20 local suppliers participating in their supplier-development programme. “Through the De Beers Zimele initiative, Venetia mine supports small-, medium-, and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) by assisting them in accessing low-interest loan funding and free mentorship.

Since its inception in 2011, De

Beers Zimele has funded 59 SMMEs and created 812 jobs in Limpopo,” said the mine.

Venetia’s general manager, Mr Gerrie Nortjé, said he was looking forward to engaging directly with the communities in ensuring continuous and effective management of the mine’s social contributions.

“We are passionate about our communities, and I’m looking forward to engaging with them directly to share with them the current and future opportunities from the mine and with our contracting partners. We fully appreciate our role in making a lasting and positive contribution to the communities in which we operate,” said Nortje.

With the US$2 billion Venetia Underground Project (VUP) expected to extend the life of the mine to 2045, Venetia mine is set to leave a lasting legacy for the communities of Musina and Blouberg. Through the VUP, the mine will support 8 000 jobs directly and a further 5 000 through the supply chain, which will benefit both the Musina and South African economy.

“Employing and developing the skills and talents of local people are among the most important ways we contribute to the longterm development of our communities – and we hope that we will continue doing that through the Venetia Underground Proj-

ect,” said Nortjé.

To improve engagement with communities even further, Venetia mine is intending to establish a community development forum (CDF) in the Blouberg and Musina communities with representation from all the villages and towns from the mine’s labour-sending areas, local councils, municipalities, as well as traditional leaders.

“We believe that such a forum will provide a strong mechanism to explore collaboration, drive integration and build understanding among all our stakeholders,” said Nortjé.

The CDF further aims to discuss the needs of the communities and prioritise them accordingly; identify emerging community issues at an early stage and deal with them proactively; share experiences, document progress, and note improvements where required; ensure greater flow of information, and actively pursue viable partnerships for sustainable development.

The community fairs the past week were held in partnership with De Beers’ major contracting partners, such as Murray and Roberts Cementation, Basil Read, and Barloworld. Community members got to visit different exhibition stalls showcasing various programmes, initiatives, jobs, and training opportunities.

Mukondi Mafune is the owner of a business who used a Zimele loan to purchase trucks for local bread distribution. Since its inception in 2011, De Beers Zimele has funded 59 SMMEs and created 812 jobs in Limpopo. Photo supplied.

Steyn Steel in Malherbe Street in Louis Trichardt underwent a bit of a facelift and “re-opened” for business on Monday. Apart from a layer of fresh paint and a modern revamp of the shop floor, the business still offers the same wide range of steel and steel-related hardware to customers. Pictured at the “re-opening” on Monday are, from left to right, Mr Jaco Oosthuizen (store manager), Ms Nerina Colin (Steyn Steel Head Office: Business Development) and Ms Cherylene Visser (general assistant).

An almost unbelievable story of the “Black Jews” in parliament

By Anton van Zyl

“I think Cyril Ramaphosa is one of the more interesting people in South Africa. He’s a Venda. There are half a million Vendas. Within the Venda he’s a Lemba, there are about fifty thousand Lembas, but of the half a million Venda one tenth, more or less, are Lemba. They are known as the Black Jews.”

The names include former Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale, the former deputy arts and culture minister, Rejoice Mabudafhasi, and possibly even the somewhat controversial leader of the EFF, Julius Malema.

Last year, while doing some research on the history of the newly elected ANC president, I stumbled upon this transcript of a Padraig O’Malley During Vhavenda king Toni Mphephu Ramabulana’s birthday interview. O’Malley, a respected Irishcelebrations last year, Julius Malema was also present. In the photo born author and political commentator, Ramabulana greets the EFF’s Julius Malema (right) when he arrives at was interviewing the then chairman of the Broe­derbond and former rector of the the event. (Picture: Kaizer Nengovhela) Rand Afrikaans University, JP de Lange.

The interview took place on 17 August 1992, not long after the start of the Codesa negotiations, which paved the way for a totally new political dispensation in the country. It was a period of turmoil and uncertainty, but also determination to find a new way forward.

A Lemba president?

The reference in the interview to the Balemba immediately roused my curiosity. As far as I could establish, Ramaphosa is not a Lemba surname. The former professor’s remarks about Ramaphosa were, however, interesting. “Now he comes from that group. Now if you look Several people attended the birthday party of the then Deputy President at Venda, the leadership comes from the Cyril Ramaphosa in Sandton in November last year. Photographed from Lemba and he, Cyril Ramaphosa, is one left to right are: Chief Livhuwani Matsila, Dr Tshepo Motsepe and Mr of those gifted Lembas,” De Lange said.

I first had to check whether Rama­phosa Cyril Ramaphosa. Photo supplied. was not perhaps part of the Lemba group.

The best person to check with was Mr David Tshidada, the official spokesperson for the Lemba clan. He was quick to point out that Ramaphosa is not a Lemba surname.

As far as he knows, the young Cyril did not grow up in the Lemba tradition.

A Jewish friend once told me that there is no such thing as a “half-Jew”. It’s like being pregnant, she said, you either are or you’re not.

This then settles the Ramaphosa question – he is not a Lemba. It may, however, be that from his mother’s side some Lemba blood flows in his veins. Tshidada could not answer this question, so I had to expand my search.

I posed this question to Dr Christopher Dr Tudor Vernon Partiff did a lot of research on the history of the Lemba.

Professor JP de Lange may thus have been mistaken about Ramaphosa’s being a Lemba, but he was not mistaken about the leadership qualities of the Lemba people.

The Lemba influence in the South African parliament is very evident.

The names include former Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale, the former deputy arts and culture minister, Rejoice Mabudafhasi, and possibly even the somewhat controversial leader of the EFF, Julius Malema.

The inclusion of the names of Mathale and Malema in the Lemba discussion may surprise some, as both men are not Vhavenda, but rather Bapedi. The Lemba are, however, not limited to the Vhavenda and their influence extends to groups such as the Vatsonga, the Bapedi and the Shona in the southern part of Zimbabwe. The Vhavenda surname “Malima” (which is part of the Lemba group) is the variant of the Bapedi surname, “Malema”.

To fully understand the importance of the Lemba in South Africa, one must go back a couple of centuries. In fact, one must probably go back a couple of thousand years to find out where the “Black Jews” originated.

A story hard to believe It took many centuries for the Lemba’s account of their history to gain credibility.

South of the Limpopo, the first reference to the “Walembers” was made in a 1721 report of the Dutch East Indian Company. In 1728, a report by someone called Mahumane referred to the ‘Walembers’ in the vicinity of the Zoutpansberg as being traders and a separate people. In 1777, an explorer for an Austrian agency, William Bolts, reported back to the authorities in Vienna

For many generations, the Lemba elders related the story of their origin to their children. The Lemba believe themselves to be Black Jews, descendants of the lost tribe of Israel. They tell their children that, about 2 500 years ago, a group of Jews under the leadership of a man named Buba left Judea. (Buba is still the name of one of the Lemba clans). They settled in Yemen, probably to become traders there. In Yemen, they built a city, which they called Sena.

About a thousand years ago, something happened that caused the Lemba to leave Sena. According to oral history, they crossed the “Phusela” and made their way to the east coast of Africa, where they built a new settlement and called it Sena. From here they migrated inland and, according to the story, they helped to construct the stone city of Great Zimbabwe.

It was in Zimbabwe where they apparently broke the law of Mwali (their deity) and were punished. Some say they ate rodents and because of this sin they were scattered among several nations in Africa.

One group found their way south and settled among the Vhavenda, just south of the Limpopo River.The Lemba were very good traders and artisans. They were also famous for their metalwork and pottery.

They brought their “secret” arts with them, such as being able to mine for gold and copper. They were regarded as sorcerers, believed to have magic. The beads they brought with them are still treasured to this day and are used in divination and other magical ceremonies.

Throughout the centuries, the Lemba retained their rituals and beliefs, such as observing the Shabbat, not eating pork or other beasts forbidden by the Torah and practicing male circumcision. They continued to slaughter animals and prepare the meat in a manner that differs from African tradition. The Lemba also discourage their children to marry out of the Lemba clans.

his doctor’s degree last year at the ripe age of 78. Neluvhalani knows the history of Cyril Ramaphosa very well, and that of his parents, the late Samuel and Erdmuth Ramaphosa. “They were christened in the Lutheran Church at Goedverwacht in Tshakhuma,” he said.

The fact that a young Cyril grew up in a Christian household does not mean that there were no Lemba influences. The Lemba in southern Africa have embraced the Christian religion and, unlike the Jewish faith, practice Christian rituals alongside the age-old beliefs such as not eating pork and for males to be circumcised. Neluvhalani was, however, convinced that the Ramaphosas are not Lembas.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 16 MAART 2018

Former Limpopo Premier, Cassel Mathale claims to be from the Lemba lineage. Here he is in Earlier this year ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa visited the Vhavenda king. Photographed discussion with former president Jacob Zuma. The photo was taken during the ANC’s centenary on this occasion are from left to right Chief Livhuwani Matsila, Vhavenda King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana and president Cyril Ramaphosa. (Picture: Kaizer Nengovhela) celebrations in 2012 at the Christ Worship House in Shayandima. about a big and important city called Zimbabwe, where gold was mined, and gold articles were manufactured by a tribe known as the Balemba. Various references can be found in this period of the mining and manufacturing skills of the Lemba people, but more importantly, they were described as a very distinctive and very different group of people.

Closer to home, in the early 1850s, Thomas Baines heard of the gold that can be found between Zoutpansberg and Blaauwberg that were among the “Slaamzyn” (a reference to an Islamic group of people). Johannes Flygare wrote in 1899 (freely translated version): “The Balemba, a small despised tribe, lived among the Bawenda. They completely differed in appearance and language, customs and religion. Their history and origins remain a secret ...

One finds their settlements mainly in the North and Northeast. They kept themselves completely separate from the Bavenda and had completely different religious customs, which indicate in some way connections and relatedness with the Semitic nations.”

In 1908, the Swiss missionary Henri A. Junod recorded one clan member as saying: “We have come from a very remote place, on the other side of Phusela.

We were on a big boat (some say on the back of a tree). A terrible storm nearly destroyed us all. The boat was broken in two pieces. One half of us reached the shores of this country, the others were taken away with the second half of the boat and we do not know where they are now. We climbed the mountains and arrived among the Banyai. There we settled, and after a time we moved southwards to the Transvaal; but we are not Banyai.” (From his book The Balemba of the Zoutpansberg).

The Balemba continued to intrigue anthropologists and historians in the years to come, but their story remained an oral history that sounded almost too unbelievable to be true. It was only in the mid-1980s that a British historian, Dr Tudor Vernon Parfitt, turned his attention to this small group of people living in the south of Africa.

The experts get involved Parfitt was probably the perfect candidate to enter the scene. In 1984, Parfitt was commissioned by the London-based Minority Rights Group to write a report on the Ethiopian Jews who had fled Ethiopia. They had migrated to escape persecution and famine but were dying in large numbers in the refugee camps along the border between the Sudan and Ethiopia. Israel got involved and Parfitt documented this sad chapter in a book that was translated into many languages.

During a visit to South Africa, Parfitt heard about the group of Lemba people describing themselves as the Black Jews, and his attention shifted to the south of

the continent. He spent many months living among them, listening to their fascinating stories. The stories included a version of how the Lemba lost their very important “book”. A woman told Parfitt: “…but the Arabs were jealous and destroyed the book. Ours was the book of the Mwenye. Theirs was the book of Allah.”

Parfitt realised that some proof would be needed to substantiate the tales. His first efforts were spent in trying to find the places referred to in the oral history, such as Sena in Yemen and the “Phusela” river. Parfitt visited Yemen and was directed to a town called Sena in the south. To get to the sea from Sena, one must cross the Masilah River (which sounds a lot like “Phusela”). The port town of Sayhut on the southern coast of Yemen would have been the ideal place to launch ships to Africa. The ships of the time were quite capable of reaching Tanzania and even Sofala (Mozambique).

Parfitt continued to find many more links between the Lemba and Yemen.

In the Hadramawt valley, where Sena is situated, many of the tribes have similar surnames to those used by the Lemba, like Sadiki and the Hamisi.

When Parfitt’s book, Journey to the Vanished City, was published in 1992, it was much to the delight of the Lemba, who felt that this was confirmation that their oral traditions are true and that they are indeed Jews from the Middle East.

Still, sceptics said it could just be coincidence, and more proof was needed.

This is where the genetic testing entered.

To the science labs To understand how DNA tests can link the Lemba to Jewish tribes, one must first look at the work a Jewish priest, Dr Karl Skorecki, had done. He wondered whether genetic comparison could link the Conahim priests to the descendants of the biblical Aaron, brother of Moses.

The chromosome that provides the clue to what had happened in the past is the Y chromosome that gets passed from father to son. Unlike the X chromosomes, the Y chromosomes are passed down unchanged, apart from possible mutations that occasionally occur. It makes it an ideal tool to reconstruct the history of a population, because each lineage’s mutation patterns are slightly different.

With the assistance of a genetics expert, Skorecki tested the Y or male chromosomes among the Conahim priests.

It was found that 45% of the Ashkenazi priests and 56 % of the Sephardic priests have the “Cohen” signature, compared to between 3 and 5 % of general Jewish populations.

Parfitt and his associate, Neil Bradman of the Centre for Genetic Anthropology at London’s University College, collected DNA samples from the Lemba, which were sent to an Oxford population

geneticist, David Goldstein. The results surprised even the scientists. The Cohen genetic signature was found in 9% of Lemba men in South Africa. In the case of men belonging to the Buba clan, it was as high as 53%.

Parfitt’s research on the Lemba confirmed what was being said for centuries, namely that a link exists between this southern African group of people and Yemen. Breaking away from tradition, the Lemba decided to honour Parfitt and made him an honorary Lemba.

But not all agree In 2013, the result of a research study was published in the South African Medical Journal under the title: “Lemba origins revisited: Tracing the ancestry of Y chromosomes in South African and Zimbabwean Lemba”. The study was much more comprehensive and DNA tests were conducted on 261 males. The method of testing was also much more extensive.

The conclusion reached was that the further DNA testing did not reveal a direct link between the Lemba/Remba groups and Jewish ancestry. “Rather, this study suggests a stronger link with Middle Eastern populations, probably the result of trade activity in the Indian ocean,” writes the researcher, Dr H Soodyall. Soodyall points out that, although the SA Lemba and the Zimbabwean Remba originated from the same founding population, several differences were observed in the composition and frequencies of their Y chromosome pool. This was perhaps because of “a drift and human contacts the groups have had following their split,” was the conclusion reached.

The new DNA research proved what a number of other historians have been saying for some time, namely that traders on the east coast of Africa have been leaving behind a lot more than footprints for thousands of years.

or “spirits of the dead gods”). They were respected for their skills.

Chief Mbelengwa, also called Nkalahonye, was a famous leader of the Lemba and lived at an estimated date of 1500 to 1540. “He was said to have used magic power to overpower the other tribes. He was a handsome man very light in colour, with a prominent nose, and many of these Sena were almost as white as Europeans,” writes Orford.

More than three centuries later, in 1871, when the German explorer Karl Mauch arrived at Great Zimbabwe, he was told that “white people” had once lived there and had built the ruins.

Mauch was taken to the many iron working sites in the Great Zimbabwe area and noticed that a different method of smelting was used. The “white” was probably the reference to the Sena people, who often were of light skin colour.

“Mauch was observant enough to see a Jewish connection at Great Zimbabwe, but he got side tracked with King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba and this error was to affect many people in the future,” writes Orford.

Moving south When the Lemba started moving south of the Limpopo, they brought their skills and customs along. The original copper miners of Musina are said to be Balemba and their presence probably stretches as far as Phalaborwa, where copper mining activities occurred.

The Lemba were eventually absorbed by the Bavenda, but they retained their leadership positions and influence. Legend has it that the great king Makhado was the first chief to be circumcised in

a Balemba lodge. In Van Warmelo’s book, The Copper Miners of Musina (which is a compilation of vernacular accounts), he writes: “The saying that the Vhalemba women need not hoe the chief’s gardens because they are women of the chief kraal takes its origin from the fact that royalty used to marry the daughters of the Vhalemba.”

The book also explains why the chief may have been tempted to opt for a Lemba bride. “…and in respect of physical beauty it is said that they are very well formed. There is the phrase, ‘That girl is as beautiful as a MuLemba,’ which means that the girl is very handsome indeed.”

A history that is still being written The Lemba still maintain their age-old traditions and stay in contact with other clan members. In September every year, thousands of Lemba members travel to Sweetwaters, not far from Elim in Limpopo. According to David Tshidada, last year’s gathering saw people from as far away as the United States attending.

The members are still discouraged from marrying outside the Lemba clan.

They are, however, born leaders and the Mushavhi blood also means that a large number of them are financially very well off.

As far as Julius Malema is concerned – his family history may include more than a dab of whiteness. He may have some Jewish blood, mixed with Arab influences and there may even be some Portuguese or even Indian traces - which probably makes him a thoroughbred African.

The “white” stone builders of Zimbabwe In his book The Stone Builders of Great Zimbabwe, Bryan Orford describes the influence the Lemba had had on the development of the African continent. He details the Lemba’s journey from Senur/Sena in Israel to Yemen and then to Abyssinia/Ethiopia. From there the traces lead to the lower Zambezi and Gorongoza to Zimbabwe.

When reaching Mberengwa (in Zimbabwe), they purportedly discovered gold and some silver (probably iron).

“They made bangles, trading far and wide and they got the name Mushavhi which means traders,” writes Orford.

The contact with traders, possibly from Arab countries, was very evident among the Lemba and they were often referred to as the Ba-Lungu (the “white people”

In 2015 a group of Lemba clans from the Vhembe area broke away from the Lemba Cultural Association and formed an organisation of their own, Lemba Heritage Foundation. Prof Takalani Madima (picture) delivered a speech during the launch of the Lemba Heritage Foundation. (Photo: Tshifhiwa Mukwevho)

Serious seller, right price, speedy sale If you are serious about selling your property, be very wary of basing your pricing expectation on that of other properties for sale in your area viewed online or printed media.

If you do this, you will fall into the trap of basing your price on flawed information and emotions.

You will feel “Well that is what my house is worth”, instead of looking at factual realities. Keep in mind that advertised prices include the agent’s commission and is often not the selling price.

Furthermore, advertised properties have not SOLD yet!

Every owner wants the best price for his castle (home), but we should remember that every house is unique. The price of a house is dependent on various factors, all of which add up to determine a fair and attainable market value.

Most important price determining factors are: • Location • Condition • Size of the house and land (square metres) • Security • Style and finishes of bathrooms, kitchen etc.

The most prudent course of action to follow is to invite a Professional Practitioner of Real Estate (Registered, qualified, estate agent) to your home and ask for a market related value estimate to be given for your home. Professional Practitioners of Real Estate focus on their areas and therefore are experts who know all the houses on the market at a specific time within a geographic area.

Even more crucially, they know which properties have recently sold, how long properties have been on the market before it sold and which properties that were on the market never got sold and was subsequently withdrawn. They are qualified to compare ‘apples with apples’ and put an accurate realistic market price tag on your property. Your property Practitioner should give you a report on sale sin your area, referred to as a Comparative Market Analysis. Though a basic guide only, this is a useful starting point.

Results show that a correctly priced property sells faster. In the past few months, we at Realty 1 experienced this first hand. We have had houses which went to market at the correct price and therefore sold within as little as five days! Property Practitioners often have a large database of potential buyers with whom they have already been dealing, hence, whilst viewing the property for the first time, the agent might already have clients in mind and that is where ‘matchmaking’ comes in. Your property professional might well bring an offer within the first week, simply by matching your property’s qualities with the needs of an existing buyer already on her books!

Unfortunately, some home-owners then erroneously tend to believe that they have gone to market at too low a price and will be ‘giving their house away’, should they accept. Such a home owner might reject a perfectly good offer in the hope of receiving a higher offer. This is more often that not a BIG MISTAKE, resulting in their property remaining on the market for an extended period after which it eventually sells below market value.

When choosing the services of a Property Professional, do not hesitate to ask for a copy of the Fidelity Fund Certificate. This is your right as a consumer. Professional Practitioners of real estate will have no qualms with regards to verifying their legitimacy as qualified registered Property Practitioners. Avoid availing yourself of the services of ill-informed agents and/or illegally operating agents.

Illegal operators are not entitled to claim commission. Only Property Practitioners in possession of a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate have the right to claim commission.

Call any one of our Property Practitioners to give you a FREE, no string attached, Market Value Estimate of your home. We will answer Principal - Gwen Loots. any and all of your property questions or concerns.
