Deur Andries van Zyl Dit was beslis nie iets wat die veeartse van Blouberg Dierekliniek op Louis Trichardt aldag sien nie – ‘n bykans 40 kg luislang van net meer as 3,5 meter op die operasietafel. Dit is egter presies wat verlede Woensdag gebeur het, nadat bekende plaaslike slangvanger en -kenner Jan “Slang” van Rooyen so ‘n groot, beseerde slang daar aangebring het. Jan het dieselfde dag die slang van ‘n gewisse dood uit die hande van ‘n gewetenlose smokkelaar gered.“Iemand het my gebel oor ‘n luislang wat sy vriend wou verkoop. Toe reël ek met ‘n lid van die plaaslike Veediefstaleenheid se Bedreigde Spesies­afdeling. Hy was egter besig gewees, maar het gesê ek kan die arrestasie [siviele arrestasie] gaan doen,” het Jan gesê. Dit was op 10JanAugustus.en‘nmede plaaslike slangvanger, Frikkie Venter, het uitgery na waar die man gesê het die verkoper by ‘n perseel in die Madombidzha­area wag. “Maar toe ons daar kom, het die ou wat my gebel het nie die slang nie. Die slang was toe by sy vriend se huis,” het Jan Jan­hullegesê.het toe na die vriend se huis gery, waar hulle die erg beseerde en gedehidreerde slang gekry het. Die verkoper het die slang se kake aan beide kante, deur die skedel, met draad toegedraai om te verhoed dat hy gebyt word. Die slang is ook buite in die warm son in ‘n toegemaakte sinkskottel aangehou. (Vervolg op p. 2) Nie iets wat jy aldag sien nie!

Massiewe luislang van gewisse dood gered Nog een van die Soutpansberg se groot bome val In Memoriam Nog een van die Soutpansberg se groot bome het geval met die dood van Levubu se Christie Nel op 12 Augustus in die ouderdom van 80 jaar. “Hy was ‘n man met vele fasette – ‘n diamant word gevorm onder druk,” het sy familie gesê. “Oom Christie, by jou voete het ek leer droom oor die groter bos … om in daardie groot bos stil en wakker te wandel op groot spore … na die grys koning te soek met opwinding … en te vind – met diepe ontsag … en na die harde slag, mooi te luister na die sagte val. Ook die Groter Hand te ken in die goeie dag. Oom Christie, dit was toe alles net soos jy vertel het. My Oom, hier waar ons agterbly, kan ons die goeie spore sien wat jy agterlaat, en waarop ons kan gaan. Elkeen weet: Hier het nou ‘n ou grote verbygestap! Gaan rus nou in die Groter Vrede,” het Pieter Furstenberg opgemerk. Talle ander jong manne wat oom Christie as mentor beskou het eggo hierdie boodskap. Baie mense het hom geken as ‘n bron van wysheid en sy ewewig en sterk geloof was ten baat vir die aantal jare wat hy as hoo fouderling in die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt ge meente gedien het. Hierdie boer se storie het begin in Lusaka, Zambië. Gebore op 08 April 1942, het oom Christie grootgeword op sy pa se plaas Kalulu buite Lusaka. Hy het skoolgegaan op Silverrest, en later sy visie verbreed en sy staal gewys deur vir homself plek te kry in die Landbouskool op Amsterdam en per trein vertrek om daar te matrikuleer.OomChristie het sy militêre opleiding in die destydse Suid Rhodesië weermag voltooi. Hy het sy meganiese kennis uitgebrei deur ‘n paar jaar onderdele verkoopsman te wees in Lusaka. Dit kon hom voorsien van sy eerste Willis Jeep en die eerste geweer kon gekoop word nadat hy met ‘n geleende geweer sy eerste olifant platgetrek het en die tande kon verkoop. Die liefde vir die land het hom gelok om sy ouma se plaas te koop, en daar het hy die lewe met sy ander helfte begin. Op 29 Januarie 1966 is hy getroud met die Engelse meisie van Lusaka, Dianne, wat sy oog gevang het en vir 56 jaar vasgevang het! Die suksesvolle boerdery en drie pragtige kinders se aankoms en kinderjare het hulle beker laat oorloop van vreugde. Sy enorme liefde vir die bos en jag was deel van hulle besta an en dit het sy gesin en waardes gevorm op ‘n besonderse manier vir die jare wat volg. Noord Rhodesië was toe reeds Zambië en die huidige Zimbabwe het in daardie jare hul vryheidstryd beleef. Die politiek van bewinds verandering het hulle lewe ook beïnvloed en die afwesigheid van kinders, wat in die verre Suid Afrika moes skoolgaan, het die besluit om te trek tot gevolg gehad. In 1978 het hulle dan in Louis Trichardt geland om ‘n nuwe nes te skrop. Saaiboerdery en beesboerdery, soos bekend aan hom, was aangevul met Boereslaghuis – “Di anne se baby”. Ouer inwoners sal dit onthou in Kroghstraat (die ou Woolworths, oorkant die poskantoor).Droogteshet hom gedwing om na boombo erdery te verander en in 1989 het hy in ‘n nuwe rigting op Levubu begin. Daarmee saam het die volgende paar gelukkige jare van suksesvolle boerdery en die aanwins van drie skoonkinders en ses kleinkinders gevolg. Die politiek het egter weereens ingemeng, en die grondeise van die nuwe regering het ou wonde weer rou gemaak. Hy het in 2005 verkoop aan die eisers om weereens te skuif, hierdie keer na die huidige plaas, Middelfontein, op die Soutpansberg. In die koelte het hy die laaste jare rustig verwyl, sy betroubare en bekwame Engelse vrou steeds aan sy. “Ons is verwonder deur die ontdekking van gedigte wat deur hom geskryf is net ‘n verdere bewys van sy veelsydige talente,” het die familie gesê. Een van sy gedigte verskyn onderaan hierdie artikel. Oom Christie se vrou, Dianne, seuns Andre en Christie met hulle gesinne en sy dogter Karen met haar gesin (in Australië) sal hom elke dag mis, maar waardeer die vele boodskappe van ondersteuning en van eerbetuig uit die ge meenskap. Hy word Vrydag om 14:00 te ruste gelê op die plaas Middelfontein (Witvlag grond pad).

Daardie slang is net in te veel pyn,” het Jan gesê. Hy het toe die man summier gearresteer en later aan die Veediefstaleenheid“Volgensoorhandig.wetmag jy nie in besit wees van enige Suid Afrikaanse slang sonder ‘n permit nie,” het Jan gesê. Hy voeg by dat hyself ‘n “vang en loslaat” permit het, wat hom in staat stel om “probleemslange” te vang en weer vry te laat. In gevalle waar hulle beseer is, word hulle eers weer vrygelaat wanneer die slang ten volle herstel het. Nadat Jan die man gearresteer het, het hulle die slang na die Blouberg Dierekliniek geneem vir mediese behandeling. “Hulle het haar op ‘n drup gesit en medikasie gegee vir die pyn. Hulle het haar oornag daar gehou. Die volgende mid dag het ek haar gaan haal en tans sterk sy verder hier by my by die huis aan,” het Jan Dinsdag gesê. As alles goed verloop, beoog Jan om die slang weer hierdie naweek op ‘n veilige plek los te Volgenslaat.

ODE VAN ‘N S.A. BOER (deur Christie Nel)

In Memoriam ‘n Jarelange welbekende en beminde inwon er van Louis Trichardt, tannie Joy van der Walt, of aan almal bekend as Ouma Joy, is op Vrydag, 12 Augustus, in die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal oorlede aan natuurlike oor sake as gevolg van veelvuldige orgaanversak ing weens Covid en ‘n reeks beroertes. Joy van der Walt is gebore op 23 Februarie 1928 op die plaas “Ladybrand” in die Bande lierkop omgewing, waar haar ewe bekende pa, Tom Fitzgerald, met stoet Simmentaler beeste geboer het. Sy het haar laerskoolloopbaan in Graad 1 aan die destydse Louis Trichardt Laer skool, wat geleë was waar die Nictus kompleks net skuins oorkant die Haantjiekerk nou is, be gin. Haar hoërskoolloopbaan het sy in Pretoria voltooi aangesien die oorlog daardie tyd aan die gang was en hulle by familie in Voortrekker hoogte moes woon terwyl haar pa diens gedoen het in HaarAfrika.eerste man het gesterf aan ‘n hartaanval laat in die 1950’s en sy het daarna met Nic van der Walt getrou, en die paartjie het hulle op die plaas “Kildare” gevestig, net anderkant die Ben Lavin Natuurreservaat. Die plaas was kaal en moes van onder af opgebou word met lyndrade, huisbou, boorgat, ens. Die paar het die boerdery opgebou tot ‘n baie goeie bees , bok en hoender boerdery. Beide was ook kranige tennisspelers. Oom Nic het in Julie 1990 gesterf, waarna Ouma Joy eers vir ‘n ruk alleen gewoon en daar na naby haar jongste seun, Gene, gaan woon het. In 2000 het sy by haar ander seun, die bekende arbeidsregkenner in Louis Trichardt, Dr Len van der Walt, ingetrek, waarna sy vir bykans 22 jaar deel van sy huishouding en onder sy sorg was. Makulêre degenerasie, ‘n ongeneeslike siekte wat uiteindelik blindheid tot gevolg het, is in 2000 by haar gediagnoseer, en in 2011 moes ‘n hulp vir haar aangestel word. Sedert 2015 was sy heelte mal afhanklik van ‘n hulp wat haar “oë” was. Ouma Joy het op 23 Februarie vanjaar oudergewoonte na Grasdak gegaan, saam met haar onmiddellike familie, om haar 94ste verjaars dag te vier. Slegs 10 dae daarna het sy erg siek geword met Covid en moes opgeneem word in die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal. Ongelukkig het haar longe baie skade opgedoen en sy het beroertes gehad, wat haar basies bedlêend gelaat

Tannie Joy van der Walt se stem nou stil het. Sy is vanaf die hospitaal oorgeplaas na die siekeboeg van Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis, maar haar aanhoudende verswakte toestand het gemaak dat sy oor die naweek van 7 Augustus oorgeplaas moes word na die palliatiewe eenheid van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal, waar sy op Vry dag, 12 Augustus, sterf. Tot op die einde, voordat sy in ‘n koma verval het, was haar leuse “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want (die Here is my Herder, ek sal niks kortkom nie)”. Haar seun Len wil langs hierdie weg sy dank uitspreek teenoor die verpleegpersoneel van Ons Tuiste, wat vir Ouma Joy met die grootste deernis behandel het, asook die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal se palliatiewe sorgeenheid. Aan drs. Malan, Gaigher en Badenhorst wil hy ook baie dankie sê. Hulle was daar wanneer hulle nodig was en hulle menslikheid en deernis sal altyd onthou word. “Haar stem is nou stil, maar haar legende leef voort,” het Len gesê. ‘n Begrafnisdiens vir wyle Ouma Joy vind plaas op Saterdag, 20 Augustus, om 11:00 vanuit die NG Kerk Moedergemeente (Haantjiekerk). Die diens sal ook lewendig gestroom word.

Freddie Harris van die Blouberg Dierekliniek is dit nie ongewoon vir hulle om slange te behandel nie. “Dit is wel die grootste een nog,” het Harris Woensdag gesê. Hy het bygevoeg dat Jan gereeld beseerde slange daar aanbring vir behandeling, selfs mambas van meer as twee meter. “Ons behandel ook mense se uitheemse slange wat hulle as troeteldiere aanhou,” het Harris gesê. Volgens Jan sal die man aangekla word ingevolge die Wet op Bedreigde Spesies en vir dieremishandeling. Die klagtes is ernstig, veral eersgenoemde, wat ook handel oor die onwettige handel in renosterhorings. Na wat vasgestel kon word, het die 20 jarige beskuldigde in die saak wel op 11 Augustus in die hof op Tshilwavhusiku verskyn op genoemde klagte. Sy saak is egter uitgestel tot 7 Oktober en hy is op waarskuwing vrygelaat.Janhet weereens inwoners uitgenooi om hom te skakel met enige navrae oor slange of klagtes oor probleemslange. Hy kan ook gekontak word indien mense soortgelyk klagtes het oor mense wat inheemse slange wil verkoop. Sy nommer is 067 835 0816. Tans herstel die massiewe luislangwyfie by Jan se huis, waar die koerant haar Maandag afgeneem het. As sy goed genoeg van haar besering herstel het, beplan Jan om haar weer teen die naweek in die natuur op ‘n veilige plek los te laat.

Jare terug het ek hier geland ‘n swerwer-siel, oorgeplant. Diep het ek my wortels geplant, in hierdie, my nuwe land! Tot my spyt en misverstand Moet ek erken: Die grond was pure sand! Lank het ek hard probeer om in hierdie land te presteer. Lae pryse en droogtes, kon ek handteer. Die gang van die politiek – dit, kan ek nie keer!Daar is mense wat nou my grond begeer. Al wat ek kan vra is: “Help my Heer!” Die staat, wat nou hierdie saak besleg, sê alle ouens soos ek, moet weg! Die nuwe eienaars se saak is reg. Ons het immers, sê hulle, baie lank gelede hulle grond gevat- vir boerdery en stede. “Gee dit terug!” – ter wille van vrede. Gelukkig is daar mense soos ek en jy. Na alles verby is, is ons weer vry. Met ‘n rand in die sak, en die oop pad voor, trek ons weer verder op ‘n vreemde spoor. Waarheen dit lei, sal ons nie kan sê. Met ons geloof en vermoë, sal ons waaragtig nie gaan lê.

By Andries van Zyl Investors and local politicians were given a closer look at what exactly is being planned for the new 92-bed Zoutpansberg Private Hospital (ZPH) in Louis Trichardt during a hospital-expansion visit to the site on Tues day, 16 August. The guests included members of the hospital’s board of directors, the invest ment partners Summit Africa, shareholders, the mayor of the Vhembe District Municipal ity, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda, and the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr Samuel Munyai. The new ZPH is being built to serve not only the Makhado area, but the greater Vhembe District with the aim of delivering world class health care, without patients’ having to travel vast distances to get these elsewhere. As an introduction, Mr Kevin Hinde, on behalf of A3 Architects, gave a brief overview of the project so far. “We are very blessed and honoured to have been involved in the project since 2018, and I know we had a brief two and a half year interruption of all of our lives, so that obviously contributed substantially to the delay,” said Hinde. He was, however, excit ed about the progress made to date. “But the project we are sitting with right now is a project that has evolved. I think we went through 14 or 15 different revisions in the concept design in order to get the modelling right,” said Hinde. He explained that they ended up deciding just to build a new hospital, rather than trying to tie it into the existing hospital. The plan is then to repurpose the existing building as support infrastructure.Thenewhospital is essentially a four storey building (ground level plus three floors). The ground floor will feature a very comprehen sive radiology unit, a reception area at the front door, a coffee shop, some administrative offices, a pharmacy and all the public services. At the back, it will tie into the existing hospital, through an access passage, which is going to become support and consulting facilities. On the first floor will be a 27 bed medical ward and an eight bed paediatric ward. “So, your medical/paediatric component will be on the first floor … What is essentially on the first floor ties into the service level because of the fall in the [slope of the] site and a comprehensive new arrangement of services in the new facility, including a kitchen, laundry, new engineering and backup water. The building is going to be completely self supporting and a stand alone structure,” Hinde said. Coming up to the second floor, this floor will consist of a 19 bed surgical ward, all rooms with en suite bathroom arrangements, typical of private hospital planning, as well as the neces sary support infrastructure and facilities. “What we’ve also done is we’ve separated the clinical services and supply services from the move ment of patients and public. You don’t want to mix those two. So, as far as possible, in a very tight footprint, we have managed to contain the services course as separate from the public circu lation course to give you a sense of well being as an end user. It also then allows the staff to move freely and uninterrupted without mixing with the public and patients,” said Hinde. Also on the second floor is a dedicated maternity ward and neonatal and delivery rooms. On the top (third) floor will be the operat ing theatres because of all the equipment and air conditioning on the roof, from a technical perspective, to service the theatres underneath. It will have three theatres, with the potential for future expansion, and a post op unit, 10 bed ICU/HCU ward, central sterile services depart ment and theatre staff resting and changing area. “This will be the super specialised floor,” said Hinde. He concluded his presentation by stating that the building has been planned to allow for future expansion along all its edges. ZPH manager Ms Anneke Stroebel expressed her gratitude towards Summit Africa as inves tors and said she was excited to see the new hospital taking shape. “We salute Summit Africa for investing in our vision. This community will be forever grateful,” said Stroebel. In his opening remarks, Mr Ngange Nongogo (Zoutpansberg Management Committee board chairman and Summit Investment principal and partner) said that at the time they (Summit Af rica) were contemplating getting involved with the expansion of the hospital, the R200 million investment into the Makhado district was the second largest private investment into the area in the last 20 years. “What I want to say is a big thank you to my fellow executives on the board. A significant thank you to the management team that has supported us through this endeavour and while we are going through this process in keeping the lights on and making sure the people who come through the hospital are more than well serviced. A big vote of thanks as well to the Summit team … as our primary investors into this expansion that you see in front of you and the great set of doctors. There are over 20 doctors who have committed to come on board and support us in this growth initiative. All have really taken ZPH from being primarily a maternity based hospital to a 92 bed acute hospital with three theatres servicing the greater community, not only in the Makhado area but the greater Vhembe District. I hope that when we speak in five years’ time, we will talk about the numbers of lives we’ve saved by making sure people don’t have to travel these road to get to quality health care and that they are actually treated at our fine facility,” said Nongogo. Also present at the function was Mr Tomi Amosun (Summit co founder and managing partner). He thanked the ZPH management for backing Summit Africa as their investment partner. “Summit is all about partnerships … We can have an idea, but without a partnership, that idea would have stayed an idea on paper,” heAccordingsaid. to Amosun, the project is more than just numbers. “Numbers are important because, at the end of the day, we are investing to make a return. We are investing pensioners’ money to make a return for those pensioners. But equally, we are investing to make in impact in the community, and that impact needs to be felt even after the investment has been made,” saidSoAmosun.whatdoes that mean? “Ngange mentioned we are investing R200 million on behalf of the investors. But the investment does not stop there. The goal in this particular facility is to create at least 80 jobs new jobs. The new jobs are in the clinical side of the facility, as well on the administrative side. But the facility cannot stand on its own. It needs cleaning, it needs catering, it needs laundry, security – it needs all kinds of services that are spinoffs of the investments that we have made. What we measured is that for every R1 million of investment that we make in a community like this one, you create at least another R1 million of expenditure for local SMEs. So, what we believe is that by investing R200 million into this project, we create another R200 million. And that is annual expenditure, not just a once off,” said Amosun. On behalf of the people of the Vhembe district, Cllr Dowelani Nenguda thanked all those involved in the project. “To the management of ZPH, the leadership of Summit Africa and other partners, I want to say we really appreciate this initiative. This is not only going to help in taking care of our health, but also in terms of poverty alleviation,” said Nenguda. The completion date for the new hospital is set for October 2023.

Coming in in second place on the day was the Go Girls team, consisting of (from left to right) Anton Pretorius, Tinus Pretorius, Maarten Venter and Rampie Gilfillan (absent when the photo was taken). Photo supplied.

Two more suspects were arrested last Friday in connection with the murder of the late Col lins Chabane mayor, Moses Maluleke. Avhatakali Isaac Mudau (36) from Maniini was apprehended in Vuwani, and Wiseman Ba loyi (36) from Ntlhaveni at his place of work in Saselamani. The arrests follow two weeks after the first two suspects, Shumani Nemadodzi (47) and Avhatakali Mulaudzi (42), were arrested. Mudau and Baloyi briefly appeared in the Malamulele Magistrates’ Court on Monday and were charged with robbery with aggravating circumstances, murder, attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammu nition. The matter was postponed to 25 August to allow Baloyi to get legal representation. Both accused remain in custody. Unlike in the previous appearances regarding the case, where the court was filled to capacity, only close family members, senior Collins Cha bane officials (including the mayor, Chief Whip and the Speaker), the NPA, legal representatives, community structures, court officials and the media were allowed inside the courtroom. A large group of ANC members, dressed in the organisation’s colours, sang freedom songs and chanted slogans at the entrance gate of the court premises, where a contingent of police members wasThestationed.Maluleke family’s representative, Mr Humphrey Magagula, said he was comfortable with the postponement, seeing that two more suspects had been arrested. “We are hopeful, especially with the recent arrests. It shows that this matter is going somewhere and that justice will be served sooner rather than later. As a fam ily, we are deeply disappointed with the latest arrested suspects. These are very familiar faces to the family, especially Baloyi, with whom we live,” Magagula said. The late Maluleke was killed at his home at Shikundu on 21 July this year, during what was believed to have been a robbery. His 18 year old son was seriously injured during the incident and admitted to a local hospital. Initially, three suspects were arrested, but one was later released because of a lack of evidence to link him to the incident. The first two sus pects, Shumani Nemadodzi and Avhatakali Mu dau, had since abandoned their bail applications on Wednesday, 10 August. They also remain in custody.

Hulle opponente in die finale debat was die Junior Span 1 van Hoërskool Merensky. ’n Naelbytstryd het gevolg en die beoordelaars glo dat groot prestasies nog op dié leerders wag. Die stryd tussen die seniors was ewe fel. Daar het Senior Span 1 en Senior Span 2, beide van Hoërskool Pietersburg, teen mekaar te staan gekom. Span 1 het net­net geslaag daarin om stof in die oë van hulle teenstanders te skop. “AfriForum se betrokkenheid by die kompetisie het begin toe ons besef het hoe min die meeste jongmense van aktuele sake weet en hoe nodig dit is dat die jeug moet leer om op hulle voete te dink. Niks leer jongmense so goed om hulle menings met oortuiging oor te dra as juis gesonde debatvoering nie. Jaarliks sien ons hoe leerders die eerste keer deelneem en dit só geniet dat hulle net wil aanhou daarmee,” het Alana Bailey, AfriForum se hoof van kultuursake, gesê. AfriForum het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor Hoërskool Merensky vir die bereidwilligheid om weer die kompetisie te huisves, asook teenoor elke deelnemer wat hiervan ’n sukses gemaak het. Die volgende uitdunne vind plaas by C&N Sekondêre Meisieskool Oranje in Bloemfontein op 25 Augustus 2022, Hoërskool DF Malan in Bellville op 9 September 2022 en Hoërskool Montana in Pretoria op 14 September 2022. Die nasionale finaal sal op 8 Oktober 2022 in Centurion aangebied word. Volg gerus die verloop van die kompetisie op www.dinkofsink.co.za en AfriForumTV. Foto en inligting verskaf deur AfriForum.

Hoofnuus op die voorblad van die Zout pansberger van 15 Augustus 1997 was die raad se aankondiging dat hulle gaan optree teen mense wat besighede vanaf hulle huise in woongebiede bedryf. Tydens daardie maand se raadsvergadering is ‘n geval bespreek van ‘n man wat ‘n paneelklopperbesigheid vanuit sy huis in Presidentstraat bedryf het. Die erf is geleë in ‘n woongebied en verskeie bure het al daar oor gekla. Tog het die man verskeie waarskuwings vanaf die munisipaliteit geïgnoreer, wat die raad laat besluit het om die man krimineel te laat aankla. Raadsheer Johan Moolman het egter die raad gevra om eerder weer met die oortreder te gaan praat, aangesien meer as 50 ander soortgelyke gevalle in die dorp voorgekom het in daardie sta dium. Rdl. Brink Schlesinger het op sy beurt gesê inwoners betaal duur aan heffings om in ‘n ordent like, stil buurt te bly. Die voorsitter van die uitvoerende komitee, rdl. Solly Noor, se mening was dat hulle een of ander tyd met ‘n “skoonmaakproses” moes begin. Soortgelyk aan die voorblad van ‘n week of wat vantevore, het ‘n berig van ‘n tweede verbode immigrant wat deur wilde diere verslind is nadat hy probeer het om onwettig die land binne te kom, verskyn. Die 16 jarige mnr. Clement Ndlovu is deur ‘n krokodil aangeval en verskeur nadat hy naby die Beitbrug Grenspos deur die Limpoporivier probeer swem het. Twee weke vantevore is die 18 jarige mnr. Adam Chauke naby Pafuri in die Kruger Nasionale Wildtuin deur ‘n trop leeus opgeëet nadat hy vanaf Mosam biek onwettig die land probeer binnekom het. In ander voorbladnuus is berig oor die plaaslike nooddienste wat hulle hande vol gehad het met ‘n toename in motorongeluk ke.

Charity Earlier this year, the Zoutpansberger wrote about a very brave little girl, the four-year-old Carmia du Plessis from Levubu, who urgently needed a new and bigger special-needs stroller. Carmia was diagnosed at birth with Microcephaly cerebral palsy (quadriplegia), epilepsy, Corpus callosum and scoliosis. Her medical diagnosis is very complex and rare and her family uses a special­needs stroller to get around. This included visits to the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital, where she was receiving therapy at thatCarmia,stage. however, outgrew her stroller, which made moving around very difficult for her. Friends and family jumped in, helping to raise funds by means of incentives such as the Back­aBuddy project. This week, her family responded with some good news. “Her new stroller is making landfall on South­African soil on 20 August, imported all the way over the big ocean,” the family said. Regarding this, they expressed their heartfelt gratitude towards all who had supported Carmia in getting the new stroller. Since the Zoutpansberger last wrote about Carmia in February this year, she and mom Marinda have moved to Polokwane for Carmia to be closer to the specialists treating her. “She is making much better progress. In September, she will again see the neurologist, and if her epilepsy is under control, she will be referred to a spinal neurosurgeon (paediatric) to look at her spine, which started curving sideway because of the scoliosis.”

Laerskool Louis Trichardt se skaakspelers het op Woensdag, 10 Augustus, ‘n plaaslike wedstryd gespeel teen Eltivillas. Uit die 14 wedstryde gespeel het hulle drie verloor en 11 gewen.

Vanjaar se Opedag was ‘n dag van raakvat en uitstekende organisasie. Soos altyd was daar ‘n verskeidenheid van ak�witeite en eetgoed genoeg om vir almal ‘n oorskot van energie te verseker. Die dag het begin met die LUK wat vir die gr.7’s ‘n lyndans op die veld gedoen het. En wie dans saam? Natuurllik ons hoof, mnr. Muller. Hy moet mos darem die voorbeeld stel. Daarna is hulle gevoed in die Leeukuil met ‘n lekker middagete van hamburgers. In die saal het die LUK vir die gr. 7’s ‘n video gewys, gemaak en geredigeer deur tannie Madeleine. Maar, ai! Hoe het die verborge talent nie uitgedop nie. Selfs diepdenkende Marthinus het ontpop in ‘n sjarmante choreograaf. En toe begin die rooster waar elke LUK sy groep na die verskillende ak�witeite toe moes vergesel.

Die Biologieklas was voorwaar ‘n hoogtepunt, want waar gaan jy ooit die geleentheid kry om REGTE longe op te blaas en daaraan te proe! (JIG!) In die Wetenskapklas het hulle eksperimente gedoen waar jelliebabies die klas vol getrek het. Dit het byna vir Wulf oortuig om maar nog ‘n bietjie by die skool aan te bly en wetenskap as vak te Dieoorweeg.netbalmeisies het ook beïndruk met hulle ak�witeit deur die gr. 7’s te laat spring vir hoogvange en “push-ups” as hulle die bal misgevang het. Herman Scheepers se perd, Thomaso, het ook kom kuier. Hulle het ‘n vertoning gehou vir die leerders en hulle kon self ook ry. En ja, selfs juf. Nortje het dit tot op die perd gemaak. Die leerder wat die vinnigste tyd op Lion Den se roeimasjien kon aanteken, kon ‘n maand gra�s wen by die gim en glo my, die rook het uit daardie masjien getrek. Verder was daar waterbalonne, put-put, Bivak en ‘n ghol�al teen ‘n kop. Aai Shemone, ons moet kinders wen, nie uitskakel nie! En natuurlik ons eie BLÊRENDE leeu. Jaymie! Natuurlik het Jaymie weer gesorg vir baie vermaak en pi�ge sê-goed wat groot pret veroorsaak het by die foto-stalletjie.Dieleerders is verder bederf met ‘n doughnut en ‘n bekertjie warm sjokolade by die akademiese stalletjie waar daar pamfle�e beskikbaar was van nog onbekende vakke vir hulle soos RTT, IGO en IT. Ons kan net vir tannie Madeleine en al haar helpers bedank vir ‘n baie suksesvolle Opedag. Ons kan met ‘n geruste hart sê ons is voorwaar gereed vir 2023 se graad 8’s!

Ons Opedag! Kleurvol en divers!

In prepara�on for the Inter high and to show off our school spirit, Triegie students were given the week to show off all their crea�vity and “craziness”, if we can call it that. We were given a theme each day from the 21st to the 24th of February to abide by, while s�ll wearing our school uniform and we started with: Wacky “tekkie” Learners were allowed to bring their ‘wackiest’ shoes and socks. We saw all types of crea�vity, ranging from the li�le girl who �ed balloons to her legs (I s�ll don’t know how they didn’t pop) to the boy that stole his mom’s heels. Mia Jones even wore plas�c bo�les which she cut out like shoes. Role model or favourite celebrity! The next day we were given the chance to dress like our role model or favourite celebrity. Since spirit week is all about expressing your true self, children went all out ranging from gangsters to rock stars. Sonita and Leanie used Clueless as their theme to dress. Crazy hair Following that, we had crazy hair. Even though some of our Triegies brought some of their finest hats and caps, we saw wigs in different lengths and colours. Some people had their hair looking like our lions mane. I’m pre�y sure some mothers were annoyed by their sons stealing their favourite wigs. Even bo�les and cups were added to their hairstyles. One girl was very crea�ve with her “bolla”; it looked like a spider had nestled in her hair. Triegies really showed their craziness.. Warrior Day To end off a very even�ul week, we had warrior day and on the last day, we surely symbolised the pride and joy of the Triegie lion. With spirit week, we showed all the characteris�cs of a true Triegie warrior: courage, bravery, hope, leadership and so much more. A lot of them came with warrior stripes to show their fearlessness. And with all this craziness, we were ready for Inter high. wEEek

Jaymie Knighton is Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se grootste grapmaker

Jaymie is ook die skool se mascot. As jy dus wonder wie is in die leeu. Dis Jaymie wat ewe gelukkig in die warm leeujas rondloop. En kyk bietjie na die leeu in tannie Madelein se kantoor as jy weer daar verby loop. Is die ooreenkoms nie merkwaardig nie? Cindy Vorster

Jaymie Knighton hou beslis al die onderwysers op hulle tone met al sy grappe. As hy nie besig is om Nutella in die kombuis te steel nie, laat hy die onderwysers op hulle mae lê van al die lag. As die skoollied gesing word, moet jy seker maak dat jy ten minste 10 meter van Jaymie af is, want as jy naby hom staan, GAAN jy lag. Jaymie is alomteenwoordig op die stoepe. Soos die Skim verskyn en verdwyn hy gedurig. En het jy hom al sien “TWERK”! Jaymie is altyd vol grappies. Maar hy het ook ‘n erns�ge kant. Op die rugbyveld! Vandat Jaymie in die skool ingekom het, het die atmosfeer heeltemal verander. Hy is ‘n lopende grapjas wat ‘n glimlag op almal se gesig sit sonder om aanstoot te gee. Vroeg in Januarie 2022 het 8 Podiumpretters deelgeneem aan die Internasionale “Stars of the Universe”-kompe�sie. Om te kon kwalifiseer, moes ons almal uitsonderlik presteer het in een of ander redenaarskompe�sie wat Nasionaal erken word. Hierdie kompe�sie word gereken as die Olimpiese Spele vir Kultuur. Talent Africa tree op as beskermheer vir die Podiumpret-deelnemers. Deelnemende lande met meer as 1000 inskrywings was onder andere lande soos Portugal, Ierland, Romanië, Duitsland, Uzbekistan en nog baie ander lande reg om dieStarswêreld.ofThe Universe het die 5de Januarie begin. Ons beoordelaars was van Poland, Serbïe, Rusland, Amerika en Suid-Afrika. Met hierdie kompe�sie het ek SuidAfrikaanse Kleure (Springbokkleure) in Uitvoerende Kunste vir Engelse Redenaars verwerf, en om die kersie op die koek te sit, het ek ook my afdeling gewen. Ek wil byvoeg dat die pad nie altyd maklik was nie. Die 7 minute praatjies moes eensklaps in 2 minute gedoen word. Na baie video- opnames het ons dit darem reggekry. Dit was vir my ‘n groot voorreg om te kon deelneem.

Herman Veldman – Hy wil plantproduksie bestudeer en boer. Ons het kos nodig.

Die aand van 14 Februarie was afgerond met n formele Valentynsokkie in die skoolsaal. Dit het s�ptelik om 18:00 begin waartydens die leerders trots oor die rooi tapyt gesweef het. Daar was ‘n verskeidenheid lekkergoed te koop vir die matrieks se fondsinsameling. Die laaste vasdansliedjie is om 21:30 gespeel. Dit was ‘n aand waar Kupido oortyd gewerk het en Triegies hul voete afgedans het met DJ Jonty se hartsmusiek.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt kan voorwaar trots wees hierdie jaar. Vyf leerling verwerf Limpopo-kleure in atle�ek en neem deel aan die SA-Kampioenskappe wat in Germiston by die Herman Immelman-Stadion plaasgevind het. Na afloop van die byeenkoms het sake so gestaan: Vhangani Tshivhandekano neem deel aan die 300m hekkies vir seuns waar hy ‘n 18de plek behaal. Mijanke Venter neem deel aan twee items vir meisies O/15. In driesprong behaal sy ‘n algehele 14de plek en met diskus eindig sy 26ste. Andrea Badenhorst was ook gelukkig en kwalifiseer vir spiesgooi en gewigstoot en eindig in onderskeidelik die 9de en 23ste plek. Boikgantsho Masehla neem deel aan driesprong en behaal ‘n 13de plek. Luandi van Zyl kwalifiseer vir drie items. Sy neem deel aan 400m hekkies en 400m meisies o/19 en eindig algeheel 5de in beide die afdelings. Maar wat sy nie verwag het nie, is dat sy gekies sou word vir die Limpopo-aflosspan wat ‘n groot prestasie is. Limpopo eindig ook algeheel 5de in die aflos. Dié lys van prestasies weerspieël die erns waarmee die atlete en afrigters die seisoen benader het en hulle harde werk is beloon. Baie geluk aan elke atleet en afrigter wat hulle doelwit vir 2022 bereik het!

Juffou Luies, soos ons haar maar nog ken, matrikuleer aan ons eie skool, Louis Trichardt in 2009. Die verlange was te groot en sy keer terug as onderwyseres in 2016. Sy beskryf haarself as lojaal, streng, hardwerkend en ‘n goeie mo�veerder en dit is wat nodig is as jy wiskunde gele�erdheid gee. Haar simpa�eke oor en gewilligheid om na leerders se probleme te luister, maak haar beslis ‘n gewilde onderwyseres. Juf. Luies neem baie vinnig beheer van die netbal en a.g.v haar gedetermineerdheid, vorder sy tot by Limpopo-uitspele voor Covid dinge deurmekaar gekrap het. Sy word ook die provinsiale afrigter vir die o/15-span en word gekies as ‘n Limpopo-keurder. Die Fast-5 in netbal is ook haarHaartoedoen.andergroot liefde is perde. Volgens haar was sy ses maande oud toe sy saam met haar pa begin perdry het. Huidiglik het sy vier perde nl.

Die dag het baie bedrywig begin. Ek het skool toe gegaan, al my huiswerk gekry en daarmee begin maar nie klaargemaak in klastyd nie. Skool het soos ‘n normale dag aangegaan totdat die laaste klok gelui het. Ek het daarna huis toe gegaan en besluit om Jan se boontjierank te klim. Ek het my toebroodjies en my bo�el water in n sak gegooi en die pad gevat. Die boontjierank was redelik hoog en ek was vreeslik moeg nadat ek dit geklim het. Maar waarvan julle nie weet nie, is van die GOUE EIER wat so erg deur die groot reuse beskerm word. Die eier het die towerkuns om mense se wense waar te maak. Dis juis hoekom die reuse die eier so goed beskerm.Nadatek bo uitgekom het, het ek die plek gestaan en bekyk. Dit was baie s�l, wat vreemd was, want ek het nie die reuse gesien nie. Daar was net n klippaadjie wat na ‘n klein huisie toe gelei het. Ek het versig�g na die klein huisie toe geloop en deur die venstertjie geloer. Ek kon net nie my oë glo nie. Daardie goue eier was so groot soos n rugbybal. Ek het vinnig gedink en die deur saggies oopgemaak en die eier in my rugsak gesit. Skielik het dit gevoel asof iemand vir my kyk. My ore het vuurwarm geword en ek kon my hart hoor klop bo my vinnige asemhaling. ‘n Koue rilling het deur my ruggraat gehardloop. Ek het opgehou waarmee ek besig was en ‘n klein stemmetjie vir my hoor sê dat ek moet hardloop. Die dak is in twee geskeur deur die reus se krag�ge hande. Die reus het die dak uitmekaar getrek asof dit ‘n stuk papier was. Dit het my laat dink hoe maklik dit vir hom sou wees om my te vermorsel.Ekkrytoe bo-natuurlik krag in my bene en het daar weggetrek met die spoed van ‘n vlakhaas. Ek hardloop die deur om net soos wat ek Duncan die vorige Saterdag omgehardloop het by die rugbyoefening. Ek kon die gras sien waarop die boontjierank rus. Sonder om agter te kom dat my sak oop was, het ek gesien hoe die goue eier uit my sak val terwyl ek hardloop. Ek het van die rank afgespring en dit het my ‘n hele tydjie gevat om tot by die grond te kom. Net voordat ek op my gesig beland het, het my hele lyf wakker geruk en met sweet op my voorkop, het ek agtergekom dat dit net n lawwe droom was. Dit was drie-uur in die oggend en ek sou defini�ef nie toe my huiswerk doen nie. Jan het besluit dat hierdie dag die dag was dat ek sy boontjierank moes klim en die goue eier steel. Dit is hoekom ek nie my Afrikaanse huiswerk kon doen nie. - Jamin Schuch – gr.12

Hoekom ek nie my huiswerk gedoen het nie...

SA-Atletiekkampioenskappe My ervaring op SA’s! - Luandi van Zyl Ek kan ‘n hele boek skryf oor net my ervaring by SA’s hierdie jaar! Dit was ‘n SA’s met die laagste laag en die hoogste hoog. Ek het deelgeneem aan 400m hekkies, 400m en driesprong. Die 400m was eerste op die eerste dag van SA’s. Ek het ‘n baie gemaklike 4de plek behaal in die eerste lopie van die twee wat daar was. Om die waarheid te sê, ek het gedink dat ek nie eers ‘n goeie kans staan om in die finaal te wees nie. Maar dinge het vir my uitgewerk. My tweede item vir die dag was driesprong en hier was dinge nie so maklik vir my gewees nie. My eerste sprong het ek oorgetrap. My tweede sprong het ek mooi spoed opgetel maar ek het ongelukkig weer oorgetrap. Ek moes op die bord kom met my derde sprong om myself ‘n kans te gee om die top ses te maak, maar met my laaste sprong het my toon net-net oor die rand van die plank getrap – geen sprong. Ek was versig�g… te versig�g… Dit het my egter met geen sprong op SA’s vir die driesprong gelos. Ek was uit die kompe�sie nog voor dit reg�g begin het! Sjoe, dit het baie seer gemaak. Le�erlik millimeters was die verskil tussen glorie en afstap van die veld voor die kompe�sie nog verby is. Ek het in die nag wakker gelê toe ek moes rus vir die volgende dag se 400m en 400m- hekkies. Maar as ek een ding van die driespongkatastrofe geleer het, was dit dat SA’s nie die plek is om versig�g te wees nie. Dit is waar jy net eenvoudig vreesloos moet wees en met elke poging alles moet gee. En dit was my gemoedstoestand toe ek na die 400m-finaal gestap het. Ek gaan ALLES gee, ek is reg! Die finale ronde vir die 400m was geen grap nie. Hier was mos die beste van die bestes in Suid-Afrika. Mnr Davel wat ons vergesel het, het my soveel moed ingepraat en in my geglo. Hy het mos geweet hoeveel werk ons hierdie seisoen ingesit het. My mikpunt vir die seisoen was 58 sekondes en sowaar! Daar hardloop ek my 58 sekondes en eindig algeheel vyfde in Suid-Afrika. Dit was ‘n hethetby.wasgevoel!ONGELOOFLIKEMaardaardiedagnogvervanver-Die400m-hekkiesnogvoorgelê.Ditsoos‘nbergge-

voel. Al die gemengde gevoelens van die eerste dag was nog vars in my geheue. My driesprong was ‘n laagtepunt, maar dit sou ‘n hoogtepunt wees om die finaal te kon bereik in die 400m. Die kwalifiserende ronde vir die 400m hekkies breek aan en ek verbaas myself deur die finaal te haal. In die finaal behaal ek ‘n gemaklike vyfde plek. Ek kon mnr. Davel en my ma hoor skreeu van blydskap. Selfs my opponente het my omhels en geluk gewens. Daardie middag was weereens vir my ‘n hoogtepunt toe ek gekies is vir die aflosspan en hierin eindig ons ook vyfde. Ek sal daardie oomblik nooit vergeet nie. Dit was ongelooflik. Ek dink terug aan hoe die begin van die jaar toe ek nog gewonder het of ek kans sien vir die atle�ek. Ek was nog besig om te herstel van middeloor-en keelinfeksie, en kon nie aan die bokkesport deelgeneem het nie. Ek onthou hoe ek na mnr. Davel se klas gestap het en hom gevra het of hy kans sien om my af te rig in so ‘n kort tydjie. My mikpunt was vier goue medaljes vir Interhoër. Ek het glad nie op daardie stadium aan SA’s gedink nie. Mnr. Davel het bly glo in my en my deurentyd aangemoedig. Ek wil graag vandag vir mnr. Davel en almal wat my ondersteun het om die prestasie te behaal bedank. Sonder julle sou dit nie moontlik gewees het nie. Trotse Triegie! Wat ‘n oplewing het die hokkie nie beleef nie! Al vier die dogterspanne, asook die o/16 seunsspan dring deur na Noordvaal. Dis die eerste keer dat al vier dogterspanne Noordvaal bereik en die uitdunne sal die naweek van 27 tot 31 Julie plaasvind. Mev. van Niekerk en juf. Jonker se o/15 en o/16-spanne is Limpopo-naaswenners. Mev. Du Toit se o/14-span eindig 3de in die liga en mev. Moulder se 1ste span is 4de in Limpopo. Drie van ons meisies ontvang provinsiaal: o/14 Mijanke Venter en o/16 Renet Schoeman en Mulweli Muthala. Ons seuns bly nie agter nie. Brendon Bruce (o/16-seuns) word gekeur vir die Limpopo A-span. O/14 seuns het sommer ‘n hele paar wat provinsiaal kry nl: Mukundi Mathobo, Kevin Nema�ohoni, Ahmed Samie, Amukelani Gumbo, Raymond Muleya en Rokhuda Mabogo. By ons 1ste span was dit: Ian du Plessis en Thabang Masalesa. Mnr. Minnie en Mnr. Petersen se o/16’s eindig 3de in die provinsie en speel Noordvaal 3-7 Augustus in Rustenburg.

Sari, Calipa, Flicka en Vossie. Indien sy nie die onderwys as beroep gekies het nie, sou sy Veeartsenykunde oorweeg het omdat sy so lief is vir diere maar ook omdat sy ‘n “plaasmeisie” is. En wie sal kan glo dat Britney Spears haar rolmodel was. Maar nóú is dit haar ma.Sy hou van kuier en braai. Ook gimnasium toe gaan en teken. Verder hou sy daarvan om stories te kyk soos Greys Anatomy en CSI. Op 2 Julie tree sy en mnr. Stander in die huwelik en daarom is dit gepas om op hierdie stadium oor te skakel na mev. Stander toe. Dit was voorwaar ‘n droomtroue. Sommer die eerste rok wat sy aangepas het, was die rok van haar drome. Sy het drie strooimeisies gehad en alles het saamgespeel om dit ‘n ongelooflike dag te maak. “Aai!” ons meisies kan maar net sug. Wat was dit wat mev. Stander na mnr. Stander toe aangetrek het? Sy glimlag. Die lekker kos wat hy maak en die feit dat hy haar op die hande dra. Wat nou vorentoe? Sy wil baie graag kinders hê en ‘n goeie ma en vrou wees. Sy wil vier hê en mnr. Stander twee.

Geteken deur M arna de Swardt Daar is min wedstryde wat so goed bygewoon word soos rugbywedstryde. Rugby het die vermoë om mense bymekaar te bring en te laat saam staan, en wat is lekkerder as ‘n stampvol pawiljoen vol Triegies en ‘n Veraltuisoorwinning.naCovid,isdie samesyn langs die rugbyveld en die gevoel van “normaal wees” soveelVanjaarlekkerder!konons weer voluit op sport konsentreer en het ons ‘n uiters suksesvolle Conway-dag gehad. Meeste van ons ligawedstryde was ook tuis. Ons Triegies is ‘n besondere klomp mense wat bankvas agter al ons spanne staan. Ons Welpies het ‘n goeie span maar die Wit Leeus maak ons so trots en stel ‘n baie goeie voorbeeld.Maarons toeskouers is die BESTE! Die pappas en mede-skoliere is fana�es, die afrigters is toegewyd en passievol, maar niks kom by ons rugby-mammas nie! By elke wedstryd kan jy maar weet – as Boe�e op die veld verskyn, gaan jy jou ma se stem kan eien tussen al die jillende skares. Die skeidsregter loop ook natuurlik deur omdat hy so “onregverdig” is. So, as jy ooit gewonder het wat dit is om “in” te wees, kom kyk ‘n rugbywedstryd saam met ons Trotse Triegie Toeskouers! Sanrie du Plessis

From a young age I’ve always wanted to design and I’ve been crea�ve for as long as I can remember. I’m an ar�s�c person, which is why I’d like to be an architect. I’m really trying to perform well this year in prepara�on for next year. This is the closest I’ve been to a�aining my dreams, and I thank God for the gi� and opportunity. I want to con�nue growing and improving my work in the coming years.

Die nuwe gr.8’ies het skaars voet aan wal gesit, of hulle is met die bus en met bleek gesigte Schoemansdal toe gevat vir hulle inlywing. Daar aangekom, moes hulle ‘n modderbad neem. Daar was darem ook damkaskenades – dis nou swemtyd – en die LUKseuns het die diepte ingevaar op vlo�e. Hulle is egter spoedig deur die Welpie-seuns gesink tot groot vermaak van almal op die wal. Nadat almal die modder uit hulle ore gekry het, het die opleiding begin. Eerste was dit die skoollied en daarna die skoolreëls wat onder die knie gekry moes word. Toe begin die konsertopleiding, maar nie voor die LUK self die opvoering gedemonstreer het nie. Sjoe! En het Wulfie en Jamen darem hulle boude lekker geswaai. Die Groentjiekonsert is deur ons eie Luandi van Zyl geskryf met die naam van “A Triegies dream”. Dit handel oor ‘n gr. 7- seuntjie wat ‘n opgestopte leeutjie kry. Hy wens dat die leeutjie lewendig sal word en wanneer daardie aand ‘n verskietende ster is, word sy wens waar. Die leeutjie lei hom na ‘n skool waar hy selfvertroue, goeie vriende en ‘n gevoel van behoort kan vind. En so beland hy natuurlik by die beste skool, nl. Hoёrskool Louis Trichardt. Die onderwysers het natuurlik ook gewys hoe “cool” hulle kan wees met hulle pom-pom en tutu dans.Hierdie jaar was ook ‘n jaar van eerstes. Buiten die kerkdiens, was daar ook vir die eerste keer ‘n klokseremonie waartydens die Welpies formeel ingelyf is by die skool. Die klokstruktuur is moontlik gemaak deur die matrieks van 2021 wat dit gefinansier het met die geld wat deur hulle ingesamel en aan die skool geskenk is. En so het die Welpies volwaardige Triegies geword en kan hulle in hulle voorlopers se voetspore volg. Onthou net! DIS GROOT SKOENE wat gevul moet word.

These parents are a true defini�on of the fact that you can do anything no matter your age. The money that was raised was used in the Leeukuil. We would like to thank our lovely organizers for such a great event. In this regard we would like to thank Mr. Petersen and Mrs. Nel. We also want to thank all our sponsors because without you, this event would not have been so amazing. For those who could not make it this �me, we will be back! Triegie love.

A�er two years of isola�on due to covid 19, we finally got the chance to go out for fun ac�vi�es with friends and family. It also gave us a chance to burn all the fat we gained from lounging around during the covid lockdown. The park was packed with people. I mean grannies, mothers, fathers, even dogs for that ma�er. A lot of people really came out. ”It was a great chance to bond with friends’’, said some of the grade 9s who a�ended. Mrs. Groothof stated that she enjoyed it even though she was supervising and she was mo�vated by the people’s enthusiasm and smiles. The whole place was rock and rolling. The people had outdone themselves to meet the theme of rock and roll. Not to men�on how the teachers had also dressed up to have fun and enjoy the walk with the students and their families.

Inter high is usually an event characterised by cheering, singing and adrenaline but due to Covid and the fact that there was no singing contest, there was something missing. The usual arrival of the cheerleaders and the schools compe�ng for the bespoken singing trophy, was definitely something that created a s�llness in the atmosphere. All credit to our athletes who tried their best to get the spirit flowing throughout the day. At the end of the day, there was a goose bump moment when athletes and educators pulled together to sing the school anthem from their heart. It was very emo�onal for our matrics who sang it for the last �me at inter high. Armand said it was a special and proud moment that will stay with him forever. There was a special relay event for the matrics which was ran by Marthinus, Luandi, Danelle and Herman. We were amazed at how fast Marthinus was flying. And what a chick-magnet he turned out to be! Especially with that body builder profile of his! Louis Trichardt was placed third a�er Merensky and Pietersburg. They truly did their best and for that our thanks goes to our Athletes and trainers. Next year we are going to have our singing squad’s voices behind us again, so let’s work even harder and be the fireworks at inter high 2023!

Meet the adventurers

How to enter We received some wonderful entries the past week and our region’s young (and older) writers have managed to debunk the myth that our artists are an apathetic lot. All they needed was just a bit more time and encouragement. Our winner for this week is the very talented Zwothe Joyert Thothori. This 17­year­old Grade 12 student from Ridgeway College brought some romance into the competition. We did not have to change much in Zwothe’s story, as it was provided almost “print ready”. She has a very comfortable style of writing and keeps the reader’s attention up to the end. Zwothe has also managed to raise the bar considerably and it will become more of a challenge now to win the prize money. For next week, we already have entries for the character of Emma and two for Lisa, but we will only look at them after 13:00 on Friday. Please send in your entries before then and check to see which characters are still available. Thus far we have used the stories of Marelize, Gerard, Zachary and Lee. The ones still available are Rovha, Lisa, Shabnim, Emma, Gerrit, Takalani andForAdrian.those who do not yet know how the competition works:Every week, R1 000 has been earmarked for the reader who submits the best story. The competition combines a travel story with unrelated individual adventures.Theweekly travel episodes are written by our own staff and these focus on the journey of a group of adventurers who are exploring the Old Salt Trail in the western Soutpansberg. They follow a five­day route, during which they encounter many of the treasures the mountain has to Theoffer.group of adventurers comprise 11 very diverse fictional travellers. The narrator is a young lady called Marelize. In every week’s edition, she or one of the other hikers talks about the route and what the group members have encountered. Two “scar stories” are featured for every day of the trip. The group members stop at a specific location for lunch and one of the members tells his or her story. The same happens at night, when the group members gather around the campfire and one person shares a story. This is also the part where our readers need to contribute. The readers must use their imagination and write a story focusing on one of the characters. The theme of the competition is: “The night of the scars”. The idea is that each story will focus on a “scar” that the characters received somewhere in their lives. These can be physical scars, or they can be emotional scars. Short profiles of the 11 characters are provided. In some cases, Marelize will expand on the characters when she discusses the route. Studying each character and building a story around their characteristics will be Thecrucial.maximum length of an entry is 1 300 words. Once a character’s story is published, that “entry” is closed. If, for instance, you decided to write about Shabnim’s adventure and another writer’s story about Shabnim gets published, you need to move on to another character.However, this also means that entries can have a longer shelf life. Readers are welcome to enter stories on all seven remaining characters. The entries will stay “live” until the judges have decided who the winner is regarding a specific character. All the stories as well as the travel adventures are published on our website

Zachary is often referred to as the local Bear Grylls. When it comes to the outdoors, there is very little he does not know. His insatiable thirst for adventure has taken the 39-year-old geologist on some of the world’s most Emma is an experienced journalist who is currently working for a local newspaper while dreaming of becoming a war photographer. At 37 she has won numerous awards for writing, as well as photography, but has never mastered the art of keeping direction. She is constantly searching for that new adventure. Will she ever settle down?

* Judging will start Fridays at 13:00, until such time as the competition ends. * Once an entry has been received, that entry stays “live”. When a weekly winner gets selected, the character chosen in the winning entry becomes dormant, meaning that all other entries featuring the same character, will then be redundant. * If the winning entry does not feature your chosen character, the entry will be considered along with all the new ones received, the following week. * All entries must be emailed to: *story@zoutnet.co.za.Everyentrymustcontain the following information: Name - Address - Phone number - Confirmation that the story is the original work of the person entering for the competition and that the Zoutpansberger may use it for purposes of this competition. - If the person entering is younger than 18, a short letter from a parent or guardian stating that the work is original and may be used for the purpose of this competition.

Gerrit (55) comes from a military background. As a young boy, his father (also ‘n military man) shaped him into becoming a soldier. Tigers don’t cry and love is but a four-letter word. Rising to the rank of captain, he was one of the last members of the old South African Army to have seen the horrors of the Bush War on the Angolan border. With the new 1994 dispensation, he found himself on civvy street in a world he did not understand and nor did the world understand him. He never found love, although so desperately longing for it. He is constantly running away from something to somewhere, thus finding himself in the Soutpansberg. Maybe here he can find peace.

Lisa (53) is the mother of two grown daughters and wife of the CEO of a successful Sandton-based Import/Export company. Since his work often takes him away on extended business trips abroad and both her daughters had left the nest, Lisa has taken up hiking and bird watching to fill her days and get out of the empty house. She frequently visits nature reserves and national parks around South Africa.

When he reappeared 14 days later, he had a nasty scar on his left shoulder and a haunted look in his eyes. Lee (28) was born with a neurological disorder that inhibits the full use of her right leg and arm. She has, however, never allowed this inability to become a disability, living her life to the fullest and constantly challenging her body. Although physically strong, every now and then she shows signs of emotional weakness. She is not keen to talk about it, but something or someone has definitely left a scar.

Lee’s story: By Zwothe Joyert Thothori Aclap of thunder. Tree branches and leaves started swaying. The wind threatened to put out the campfire. Lee got goosebumps. She never liked being the centre of attention, but nature - the trees, the thunder and the wind – seemed to be giving her a moment of Everyonewelcome.smiled; she smiled back nervously. Am I really showing everyone my scar? Lee thought to herself. Finally, she started talking. “We were both 24 the first time our lives intertwined. After spending most of my time without friends, I felt so connected to him, even though I didn’t understand the root of the connection. We attended the same university, came from the same area, were doing the same course and were both intelligent, although he seemed like a super genius - which was a source of motivation for me,” she said, looking around at the others. Lee paused, gulping like she was swallowing a mega pill. “At first, he seemed to be aware of the connection, yet he avoided it and me for about six months. But something - I’m not sure what - broke the wall he was trying to build between us. I suspect my work ethic and determination drew his almond-shaped, chocolate-brown eyes to me. “In addition to working together as study partners, during the holidays, we took walks in different mountains and forests to strengthen our bond, and my fragile body. The physical aspect of my disability is not something I paid too much attention to, but he helped me overcome that. All my life, I’d been used to relying on my crutch to walk, until he became the crutch by my side.” A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, giving her a wistful look. “The variety of plants and birds in the bushes fascinated him. Although I had no special interest in learning about birds and plants specifically, I felt the connection he had with nature extend from him and into me like a tenuous but tenacious root. I developed an interest in nature, traveling and adventure.” The small smile grew. “As we spent more time together, we occupied the spaces in each other’s hearts. However, sometimes, we would go through bouts of sudden and sporadic silence. He could be cold towards me for no reason, or act as if I wasn’t there. I remember his facial expressions the most - so cold and remote. I struggled with the weight of my right arm and leg because I had given up my crutch, and he also stopped helping me move around or get things I needed. He looked so detached,” she said, pain clearly shining in her eyes. A small silence hung in the air for a moment.“Thelast time it happened, the wall between us seemed unbreakable and insurmountable. Two times, these actions led to the end of our friendship. Never had I believed myself to be strong emotionally, but this time, I was a fighter - for my emotions and for our friendship. I didn’t want it to end, but every time I tried to reach out, both he and the wall pushed me away,” she continued, looking down and blinking a few times, as if holding back tears. “Then, one day, I finally threw in the towel and stopped trying to fix an ‘us’ that did not exist,” she said, a trace of bitterness in her voice, to no-one’s surprise. Slowly she looked up, fixing her gaze on the stars, as if seeking some guidance there. “Suddenly, he changed his mind. Surprisingly, the more I distanced myself from him, the more he seemed to want to get closer to me. When we had varsity group projects, he would be the first to run to me to ask me to work with him - after making crystal clear that he wanted us to separate.

The night of the scars on the Old Salt Trail

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 19 AUGUSTUS 2022 15 DAY 3 - CAPTURING THE SPOOR DOWN TO MEDIKE With some reluctance the group of adventurers left the lookout spot at the top of the mountain to make their way down into the Sand River gorge. Edwin guided them along barely visible paths, where they had to negotiate loose rocks and cling on to the roots of trees to avoid slipping down the slope. While Marelize was carefully trying to find her footing on a rock below, she noticed some white markings and reddish dots on the rock face. “That’s a rock painting!” she exclaimed. Edwin quickly made his way up again to have a proper look at the markings. “It’s an apron!” he proclaimed excitedly. “Look at the shape. We must have stumbled upon an early initiation site for young women,” he said.Marelize had to take a few more glances at the markings to try and see an apron. At first, all she could see was a squarish motif with dots inside. Only when Edwin pointed out the patterns and the finger dots did it start to make sense.“Most of what I know is thanks to the work of the late Eddie and Cathelijne Eastwood,” explained Edwin. “These two people stayed in the Soutpansberg, but travelled throughout the region to document the rock art. In 2006 they published a book, appropriately named Capturing the Spoor “For me, the most fascinating part of the Eastwoods’ work is the research they did on the different types of aprons painted on such walls,” said Edwin. While the group members made their way down the mountain, Edwin told them more about the history of the rock art that can be found in the “Eddiemountain.reckoned just over a tenth of all Khoekhoe imagery consists of paintings of women’s front aprons,” he“Whosaid. are the Khoekhoe?” asked Marelize.“Itisbelieved that some 2000 years ago, the footprints of the Khoekhoe, or the Khoikhoi as some researchers refer to them, joined the tracks of the San people. Although it is still hotly debated, the Khoekhoe most probably came from the north, through the Kalahari in eastern and central Botswana, making their way to the Orange River. They are often referred to as ‘hunters with sheep’ who were following the watercourses,” said Edwin. “The Limpopo Khoikhoi, as some people refer to them, settled here in the last century BC. No­one really knows if they met the San here and interacted with them. At the time, the local San hunter­gatherers may also have been practising herding and agriculture in the Limpopo basin.” Edwin put up his hands and shrugged hisMarelize’sshoulders.natural curiosity was now in overdrive. “But how can you be sure that this is a Khoekhoe painting and not one of the San’s?” she asked. “In fact, I think this would most likely be neither. I suspect it is a later Northern Sotho painting. They preferred more secluded places, such as the thick bush alongside cliff faces in steep river gorges. In some cases, they even produced their art on top of that of the San or the Khoekhoe,” he added. Edwin then talked for a while about the differences in the shapes of the painted aprons and how they symbolise the rites of passage. “The longer apron symbolises that the girl has now become a woman,” he explained. “But where are they now?” asked Marelize.“TheKhoekhoe as a culture, and more specifically the groups who lived in the Limpopo basin, have all but disappeared. They were most probably assimilated by the groups who moved in from the north and the ones coming up from the south. Even groups who moved in much later, such as the Vhangona, were mostly absorbed by groups such as the Vhavenda, who moved in from the north in the 14th and 15th centuries,” Edwin answered. By now it was getting late, and Edwin knew that they still had some hiking to do before they would reach the camp site at Medike. “Let’s move on and head for the showers,” he urged them on. “And tonight it’s Lee’s turn to tell us how she was scarred,” he added, looking back at her with a smile. He wasn’t quite sure, but something about her seemed to be a bit reticent to share bits of herself with the others. He suspected she had been hurt and she might not be ready for a share­and­tell session.

I was so confused!” The pain on her face seemed to intensify, making her appear even more vulnerable. “He went back to helping me move around, although there was no need. I’d grown stronger. I felt like shouting at him for his selfish actions, but my heart … my heart favoured him and failedLee’sme.”words caused a few uncomfortable cringes from her audience, as if hitting home hard. “Then, one day, out of the blue, he told me he loved me. I knew this, but the sound of the words made my head spin. I felt that he was too heavy a burden for me to carry. But I said yes … no-one had ever loved me before, and despite everything he’d done, I convinced myself that things would get better,” she said, her face showing a mixture of hope and regret. “I accepted him back into my life as my partner. We spent three years together - of course, with highs and lows, but we were one. Inseparable. One day, something happened that was supposed to make us The Inseparable Inseparables but broke everything we had built together.” The wistful smile resurfaced, somehow made more poignant by the flickering flames of the fire. “Two men came to our faculty to introduce us to Nature Captured, an international competition. You had to find something beautiful in nature, take a good photograph of it, write a creative text inspired by it, submit it on their website and then they would choose the best entry. The entrants who submitted the best one would receive prize money and a few adventure-inspired trips around the world.” Her face lit up, showing her enthusiasm for her work and perhaps the prospect of travelling and adventure. “With our connection and the passion for nature he had instilled in me, we entered the competition as a team. I worried that I wouldn’t be able to move around effectively during the trip if we were to win. But he said: ‘My hands will take care of everything,’ and I believed him. “We complemented each other in everything we did, as if I was the lock and he was just the right key. He took care of the photography aspect, and I wrote a dramatic text with us as the protagonists. We were still the Inseparable Inseparables.” Her hands talked with her, fingers laced together to show their union. “We won,” she said proudly. “A few weeks later, we had to depart on our adventure. He had promised to come to my house to pick me up. But he did not. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I stayed calm and called a taxi to take me to the airport. When I arrived, only a few minutes remained to check in and board the plane. I made it through the gates and began hobbling to the plane. Carrying my heavy suitcase and my handbag was excruciating, but I was determined. I was almost to the plane when I finally looked up, and saw him,” Lee’s voice hitched in her throat, and she swallowed another lump. “There he was. Standing next to the plane…” Her eyes started brimming. “I hopped as fast as I could, confused, but certain that we’d crossed our wires; thinking he was waiting for me. But no … he was waiting for a slender, curvaceous lady who was busy tying her shoelaces. Before I could reach them, he took her hand and kissed her passionately. Then, with a single, pitying look over his shoulder, he led her up the plane’s stairway.” The tears she had held back for so long flooded her eyes and ran over her cheeks. “I froze. I felt my tongue go numb, as if I had just been struck by lightning. I reached into my pocket to look for my phone, to find out if he had sent me a message. There it was: ‘I am sorry for this. I know we worked together to win, but I thought hard about this, and I feel that I do not have the right resources to take care of you during the trip. But I left all the money we won in your account.’ As if that would explain everything. “With my hands trembling and tears flowing, I responded: ‘Your love is the only resource we need!’ But the message did not go through - he had blocked me. “The plane took off. He had simply replaced me. Flown away with his new love. But he left me with a love of nature and adventure. Over time, with the help of my physiotherapist and regular exercises, my body has become stronger and I can do a lot more than I used to. I challenge myself. I go on adventures to nearby forests from time to time. I am currently studying to become a tourism marketing manager. It still hurts, but he broke me to build me. “Anyway, that’s my scar - invisible to the naked eye but still achy at times.”

Zwothe Thothori is 17 years old and a Grade 12 student at Ridgeway College. “I live in Nzhelele. I am quite a reserved person - this helps me absorb the finer details of life to help me understand the inner workings of the world and my place in the universe,” she says. Zwothe says writing helps her to express and relate her emotions. “I see writing as a crucial aspect of my life. Even though I plan on studying medicine next year, writing will always be a significant part of my life.”

“Ek is die weg en die waarheid en die lewe. Niemand kom na die Vader toe behalwe deur My nie.” (Johannes 14:6 ) Jesus sê hier vir ons dat Hy die enigste pad na die Vaderhart is. Vir sommige mense mag die pad te nou wees, maar dis net nie waar nie. Dis so effektief dat die hele wêreld daarop kan loop as die wêreld maar net die pad wil aanvaar. Ons moet aan die heilsfeit vashou dat daar wel ‘n pad na die Vader toe is. Dit is die pad wat Jesus met die kruis oorbrug het en wat as gevolg daarvan hemel en aarde met mekaar verbind. Jesus sê dat Hy die weg en die waarheid en die lewe is: * As weg is Hy ons enigste geestelike pad na die*Vader.Aswaarheid is Hy die enigste een wat vasstaan as vervulling van al God se beloftes. * As lewe lyf Hy ons in by sy Goddelike lewe sodat ons in die hede en tot in alle ewigheid saam met Hom mag lewe. Jesus is nie slegs ‘n padwyser nie, Hy is self die pad. Dit word vertel dat die ou stad Troje slegs een ingang gehad het. Vanaf watter rigting die reisiger die stad ook al benader het, kon hulle die stad nie wettig ingaan behalwe deur een be paalde ingang nie. So is daar net een ingang wat ons tot die teenwoordigheid van God kan lei: die lewende Christus. Waarom sal jy nie daardie pad bewandel nie? Ds. Etienne van Staden (NG Kerk Soutpansberg) Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe
