SEZ is still on track

... despite Chinese government withdrawing funding of coal-fired power station erating decarbonisation of the country’s energy systems. To achieve this, Ramaphosa announced Environmentalists celebrated this week after a R133 billion foreign finance package that will be the Chinese government confirmed that it has used over the next three to five years to support withdrawn its funding of the 3GW coal-fired South Africa’s transition to a low-carbon, clipower station for the proposed Musina-Makha- mate-resilient future. Basically, this will be used do Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ). This follows an announcement by Chinese Premier Xi Jinping in September this year that the Chinese government was ending its funding of overseas coal projects. The promoters of the MMSEZ, however, said that they were unfazed by this development and had even welcomed the announcement.

The proposed MMSEZ just north of the Soutpansberg in the pristine Limpopo river basin has been met with severe criticism from environmentalist after first being announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2018. South Africa’s main partner in the venture is China. Since then, a lot has happened, especially regarding climate change, with more and more pressure being put on countries to rethink their strategy regarding their carbon footprint.

China’s announcement that it will be cutting funding of all overseas coal projects came in the lead-up to the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as COP26, held in Glasgow, Scotland, from 31 October to 13 November this year.

to bring South Africa in line with the global target of shutting down most coal-fired power stations by 2050 or sooner. Currently, South Africa is the 12th biggest carbon-emissions contributor in the world. Even worse is the fact that, according to the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean

Air, South Africa is the world’s biggest emitter of sulphur dioxide, which causes a host of breathing problems for people living close to coal-fired power stations. Eskom is also seen as the world’s biggest polluting power company.

Working towards a cleaner future

During the same summit, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa also reconfirmed South-Africa’s commitment to addressing the issues of climate change and starting to limit the country’s carbon footprint. In addressing the United Nations Conference, Ramaphosa said that no doubt existed anymore that climate change presented a critical and urgent threat to humanity and that bold steps should be taken to start with accel-

Louis Trichardt adventurer Dave van Graan set off on his latest adventure on Sunday, starting his gruelling 800km walk from the Epupa Falls in Namibia’s Kaokoland to Henties Bay. This time round, he is walking in support of the Desert Lion Conservation organisation. By his side is his trusted Bart Mobile Mark2 cart that he pulls along with all his necessities. By Wednesday this week, his life tracker indicated that he had walked just more than 100km through the Namib Desert on his way to Opuwo. With almost zero cellphone reception in that part of the world, the Zoutpansberger was unable to track him down for a brief update on his journey so far. He has, however, made one or two Facebook posts of starting his journey at Epupa Falls and enjoying some “local cuisine” along the way.

Yvonne was nie lui om te werk nie In Memoriam

Wyle Yvonne Schaap (76). Foto verskaf.

Inwoners het met hartseer afskeid geneem van die beminde Yvonne Schaap (nooi Erasmus) wat op 8 November vanjaar in die ouderdom van 76 jaar oorlede is.

Yvonne is gebore op 21 April 1945 in die destydse Nylstroom, waar sy ook grootgeword het. Sy sou ná skool haarself as mediese suster bekwaam en was vanaf 1974 tot 1982 werksaam by die Elim Hospitaal. Daarna was sy vir 22 jaar werksaam by Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis op Louis Trichardt.

“Sy was baie lief vir al die oumense gewees en sy was nie lui om te werk nie. Sy het aangehou werk tot op die ouderdom van 72 jaar. Ma kon nooit stil sit nie,” onthou haar kinders haar. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle Yvonne is Saterdag, 20 November, vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Tri­ chardt-gemeente gehou. Sy word oorleef deur vyf kinders, ses kleinkinders en vyf agterkleinkinders.

Die familie het hulle dank uitgespreek teen­ oor die gemeenskap van Louis Trichardt vir hulle woorde van vertroosting en ondersteu­ ning in hierdie moeilike tyd.

but we believe that any development should be sustainable, meaning that future generations will profit from it,” said Fourie. Regarding this, Fourie said the MMSEZ as a metallurgical and energy cluster of heavy industrial activities would not be environmentally friendly and would deplete the area’s already-scarce water resources. “Jobs and money mean nothing on a dead planet,” said Fourie.

If done correctly, SEZs could work Prof Lisa Thompson, a political economist and public-sector transformation specialist based at the University of the Western Cape, agreed with Fourie that although the Chinese government had withdrawn its funding of the power station, she also did not think the project would be mothballed.

“A few weeks back, Mr Lehlogonolo Masoga, CEO of the MMSEZ SOC, stated on record that the Zone could rely on ‘other energy sources’.

Nuclear was mentioned, and at the Investor Conference on 1 September, nuclear was also mentioned. My professional view is that this move is about ensuring there is no public outcry when the MMSEZ EIA is approved, which I am confident will occur before the end of this year.

I could be very wrong on this one, and would be thrilled if I am. However, in my experience, the Chinese government and the South African government have put an enormous amount of effort into this initiative. It is highly unlikely that the whole plan for the Zone will simply be mothballed,” Thompson told the Zoutpansberger. The MMSEZ SOC is the company mandated to develop and operate the MMSEZ. Seen against the backdrop of the recent Cop26 climate change conference, Thompson was also asked if other investors might follow suit and withdraw their funding of the project. “No, I don’t think all the other investors will pull out.

Recall that at the investor conference, there were South African companies lined up as well, including Anglo-American,” said Thompson, adding that investor confidence could be boosted if the project were marketed as a clean-energy zone. “The climate justice jury is out on nuclear, but it is generally considered by many countries, including the US and China, to be a far better option than coal,” said Thompson.

Regarding development programme such as the proposed MMSEZ in a country plagued by unemployment, Thompson concluded by saying: “I must add that this is a major win for those of us activists who have been on LEDA’s [Limpopo Economic Development Agency] tail about the power-plant and water scarcity. However, from my standpoint as an action-based activist researcher, I cannot help sharing the frustrations of the communities we have worked with. LEDA, LEDET [Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism Limpopo] and

the Presidency, together with Minister Barbara Creecy and Ebrahim Patel, should also step up to the line and make clear, definitive, environmentally friendly and sustainable decisions about the Zone. Not all SEZs are dirty-energy Zones, and some have been very successful in kickstarting development. With a radical overhaul, perhaps this Zone could be one of those too.”

Earthlife Africa also remains pessimistic Ms Makoma Lekalakala of Earthlife Africa also waded in on the most recent developments.

“Xi Jinping’s announcements of both no longer funding coal projects overseas and setting up a biodiversity fund are positive news that China is no longer transferring its carbon to developments in other countries; they will now be able to [give] exact account for their emissions. It is hard to say whether China will withdraw [from the whole project] till they divulge a list of where they have made commitments and withdrawing from those projects. Although the Chinese state made the announcement, it is possible that Chinese or other development finance institutions, or Chinese private funding institutions, will continue to fund the MMSEZ,” said Lekalakala.

Lekalakala also said she did not think the announcement would make any difference in the promoters of the project’s pushing ahead. “It may, but again not certain. The MMSEZ SOC seems very intent on continuing, and CEO Lehlogonolo has stated that the Chinese announcement will not stop the project from going ahead,” she said.

MMSEZ SOC is pushing forward The last word in the debate on what impact the Chinese government’s withdrawal of funding for the coal-fired power station will have on the MMSEZ project went to MMSEZ SOC. Questions regarding this was sent to CEO Masoga.

The company replied by means of their spokesperson, Mr Shavana Mushwana.

“The Chinese development will not have any impact on the development of the MMSEZ power project. The development of the power station will still go on, making use of green energy and technology supported by the Chinese,” said Mushwana.

He continued by stating that the decision by the Chinese had been a blessing in disguise because it has escalated the plans of the MMSEZ to transition from a fossil-fuel energy generator into a renewable-energy generator. “There are various sources of energy generation that will be considered to provide uninterrupted and cheaper energy to support the MMSEZ metallurgical complex and ensure security of supply. Upon conclusion of the investment agreement with our Chinese partners, a public announcement will be made thereafter,” said Mushwana.

Sy sal onthou word vir haar liefde In Memoriam Inwoners van Levubu en Louis Trichardt het met groot hartseer verneem van die dood van die welbekende tannie Sêrah Badenhorst op 13 November in die ouderdom van 83 jaar.

Gebore op 8 April 1938, het tannie Sêrah haar skoolloopbaan saam met Jan Badenhorst, met wie sy later sou trou, op Louis Trichardt voltooi.

Sy het ‘n groentewinkel in Louis Trichardt be­dryf vir baie jare en toe haar jongste dogter tragies oorlede is in ‘n motorongeluk, het sy en Jan die drie kleinkinders (Johan, Lizel en Sue-Marie) aangeneem en grootgemaak.

Tannie Sêrah sal onthou word as ‘n vrou met vele talente, hardwerkend en haar liefde vir almal. “Sy was ‘n voorbeeld vir haar familie en vriende,” het haar familie gesê.

Tannie Sêrah het nieteenstaande baie swaarkry en hartseer in haar eie lewe altyd gelag en nooit ‘n lelike woord van enige iemand gesê nie. “Sy was sterk in haar geloof en ‘n voorbeeld vir ons almal. Almal wat haar geken het, gaan haar baie mis, maar ons weet ook dat sy nou by haar rusplek is waar daar geen swaarkry, pyn en lyding is nie,” het die familie gesê.

Die familie het hulle opregte dank uitgespreek teenoor almal wat hulle ontferm het oor tannie Sêrah tydens haar mooi lewe, veral in die laaste vier maande wat sy baie swaar gekry het. “Elke drukkie, bemoedigende woord, gebed, en ‘n besoekie word hoog op prys gestel. Dankie ook aan elkeen se bydrae wat ‘n verskil aan haar omstandighede gemaak het die laaste tyd. Ons as familie sal dit altyd onthou. Die Here seën

julle,” het die familie gesê. Ná ‘n beroerte moes sy opgeneem word in Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis, waar sy ses weke versorg was.

Wyle tannie Sêrah is op 19 November vanuit die Hervormde Kerk op Louis Trichardt begrawe. Sy word oorleef deur haar kleinkinders, drie susters en een boetie. Haar man het haar reeds in 2010 ontval.

Infighting delays election of Makhado mayor for hours provincial offices in Polokwane on 8 November and then went to Tshwane to complain to the The election of a new mayor for the Makhado ANC’s national office on 12 November.

Municipality was delayed for several hours on The “Mathivha” group pushed for the election Tuesday while the infighting among the local of Gumani Mukwevho as new mayor, with ANC factions continued. Apparently only Dorcus Mboyi as Speaker and Samson Baloyi as after strict instructions were issued from the Chief Whip. These were also the names forwardANC’s provincial and national executive was ed to the ANC’s provincial executive committee the former mayor, Samuel Munyai, re-elect(PEC) and the national executive committee ed.

The tension that erupted on Tuesday can The ANC’s provincial and national structures, be traced back to long-standing differences however, vetoed this proposal and insisted between primarily two ANC groups in Vhemthat the municipality’s former mayor, Samuel be.

What was emphasised the mayoral candidates took place on Sunday, was that candidates must be “capable, commit7 November, in Thohoyandou. Some ANC ted and experienced”. Although this fact was not members, however, voiced their dissatisfaction specified, mayoral candidates must preferably and accused the current ANC chairperson in the have a post-matric qualification, as candidates region, Tshitereke Matibe, of taking sides and are expected to have an “understanding of musubmitting the list to the ANC provincial execnicipal finances, administrative capability, the utive without the necessary consultation.

The NEC’s instruction did not go down well with several local ANC councillors, who felt that Mukwevho was the suitable candidate.

During Tuesday’s meeting, Cllr Samson Baloyi stood up and proposed that the meeting be adjourned for 30 minutes to allow the ANC members to meet in private and discuss the nomination process. When Mr Kent Nemaname, the municipality’s acting manager and chairperson at the meeting, The acting municipal manager, Kent Nemaname, was escorted from the hall after the meeting adjourned for a few hours.

was disrupted. Baloyi took the microphone and announced that the meeting was called off.

The ANC leadership in the province then had to step in and calm down the situation. The ANC members were instructed to return to the hall and finalise the election of office bearers. From what could be gathered, a number of phone calls from the top and some harsh words were needed to convince the groups to put their differences aside and elect the new leaders.

The representative of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Cllr Tshilidzi Maraga, criticised the ANC afterwards and said that they must finalise their nomination process before arriving at a council meeting. “This is not an ANC meeting, but a council meeting,” she said. Maraga said she was also disappointed by the way ANC members had taken control of the meeting and instructed the chairperson to do what they wanted to do.

The representative of the Democratic Alliance (DA), Cllr Pierre Smalle, also expressed his disappointment with the actions of the ANC members who were only interested in fighting for positions in the council meeting. He said that if political parties could not even reach consensus on who the leaders should be, this showed bad leadership.

In an interview with the SABC afterwards, the provincial ANC spokesperson, Donald Selamolela, said that the matter would be resolved.

He ascribed the tension to a “misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the ANC resolution”.

He told the SABC that where complaints about mayoral candidates were received, the ANC would retain the former mayors for the moment.

Samuel Munyai was duly re-elected as mayor, with Cllr Dorcus Mboyi as Speaker. The duties of Chief Whip will be performed by Samson Baloyi.

In his acceptance speech, Munyai said that he was extremely honoured to have been elected mayor and that he gladly accepted the responsibilities entrusted to him. “I am full of expectations and, at the same time, serene and aware of the responsibilities I assume. I am boundlessly grateful to the ANC for empowering me by giving me the responsibility to make the daily life of

Makhado people better,” he said.

He said that Makhado Municipality required many improvements and mentioned the bad roads, unemployment, provision of clean water and electricity and general service delivery. Mun­ yai said that everything must be done to fight poverty and the implementing of projects should be used to create jobs for poor communities.

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede in die

Zoutpansberger

Hierdie week, 25 jaar gelede, het hofnuus die Zoutpansberger se voorblad van 22 November 1996 oorheers.

Die hoofstorie het gehandel oor Louis Trichardt se eie reeksmoordenaar, Willem Grobler, wat die hof gevra het vir borgtog.

Grobler het skuldig gepleit dat hy op 15 Julie van 1995 vir Sonia Liebenberg met die hand­ vatsel van sy motor se domkrag oor die kop geslaan het. Omtrent ‘n maand later, op 10 Augustus dieselfde jaar, het hy vir Ger­ truida Breedt met ‘n hamer oor die kop ge­ slaan. Beide meisies het ná die wrede aanval nog gelewe, maar het later aan hulle bese­ rings beswyk. Toe Grobler sy borgaansoek gebring het, het hy reeds 15 maande agter tralies gesit terwyl die saak afgehandel is.

Hy is onder meer aangehou vir die verontag­ saming van die borgvoorwaardes van vorige oortredings. Hy het in ‘n periode van agt jaar vyf skuldigbevindings teen hom gehad, wat ingesluit het poging tot verkragting in 1988 en onsedelike aanranding in 1998. Teen druktyd daardie week was die uitslag van sy borgaansoek nog onbekend.

Ook op die voorblad is berig van ‘n bekende plaaslike sakeman en sy seun wat in die hof verskyn het op klagte van poging tot moord. Hulle is gearresteer nadat hulle tuinier op 13 November daardie jaar tydens ‘n argument in die been geskiet is. Hulle saak is na ‘n latere datum uitgestel.

Laastens is op die voorblad ook berig oor vyf polisiemanne wat onskuldig bevind is

op ‘n klag van aanranding, nadat die klaer, mnr. Johannes Sadiki, telkemale tydens die verhoor sy weergawe van gebeure verander het. Die vyf, insp. Arend Venter, sers. André du Preez, insp. Joël Bester, sers. Willem Jacobs en sers. Douw Oosthuizen, het volgens Sadiki hom verskeie kere geskop, geslaan en met ‘n vuurwapen gedreig. Dit nadat hulle hom glo vroeg een oggend voor ‘n kafee in die dorp gevind het en van huis­ braak beskuldig het. Sadiki het egter telkens gedurende hofverrigting die stories ontken of verdraai. Hy het ook nie die verklaring wat hy afgelê het geteken nie “omdat hy bang was”.

The N1 south of Louis Trichardt at the Ledig traffic circle was once again the scene of an accident on Monday morning. Yet another truck driver misjudged his cornering ability, capsizing the truck in the traffic circle. This caused major traffic congestion for the greater part of Monday while the authorities tried to clear the scene. Numerous trucks have suffered the same fate in recent months, with some arguing that the design of the traffic circle is wrong. Photo supplied.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het Dinsdagaand in ‘n groot mate hulle jaar se aktiwiteite afgesluit met die hou van hulle jaarlikse borge-aand. Skoolhoof mnr. Theo Muller het in sy toespraak gesê dat die skool dankbaar is vir elke liewe borgskap of donasie wat hulle ontvang het te midde van ‘n baie moeilike skooljaar wat Covid 19-onderbrekings betref.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 26 NOVEMBER 2021

Plaaslike tweeling pronk in Sonja Herholdt-musiekvideo Deur Pétria de Vaal Die Schalkwyk-tweeling van Louis Trichardt, die agtjarige Rinhard en Milan Schalkwyk (Graad 2-leerders van die Zoutpansberg CVO), het onlangs die voorreg gehad om ‘n musiekvideo saam met sangeres Sonja Herholdt en Tjokker op te neem.

Hulle ma, Anell Schalkwyk, noem dat ‘n vriendin haar gedurende Augustus van ‘n kom-

petisie vertel het, nl. “Wysneusies.tv” - ‘n unieke kompetisie wat vir kleuters en jong kinders die geleentheid gee om deel te wees van ‘n televisie-opname saam met ‘n beroemde kunstenaar.

“Ons het almal gedurende Juliemaand Covid-19 opgedoen. Vir die tweeling was dit ‘n besonderse moeilike tyd, aangesien familie en vriende rondom ons aan Covid-19 oorlede is. ‘n Mens besef nie watter impak hierdie siekte op kinders het nie,” sê Anell.

Toe die geleentheid hom voordoen om die tweeling vir die kompetisie in te skryf om saam met Sonja-hulle op te tree, het Anell besluit om dit te doen. “Ek het gehoop dat dit die kinders se gemoed sou lig,” sê Anell.

Rinhard en Milan is in die ouderdomsgroep vir sewejariges gekies om op 5 November in die Pierneefteater in Villieria, Pretoria, ‘n opname saam met Sonja en Tjokker te gaan doen vir die liedjie “Oupa en Ouma”. “Ons het vooraf die woorde en musiek van die liedjie ontvang wat die kinders moes inoefen. Op die dag van die opname het Sonja hulle gekies om die ‘hoofrolle’ in die liedjie te vertolk,” vertel Anell. Sy voeg by dat die opname nie voor ‘n gehoor gedoen is nie – slegs die filmspan en ouers was teenwoordig.

“Ons kon nie video’s neem nie, maar wel foto’s,” sê Anell.

Sonja Herholdt is reeds sedert die 1970’s ‘n huishoudelike naam in die musiekwêreld – met treffers soos “Ek verlang na jou” en “Jantjie”.

Sonja en Tjokker (haar beste “hondjie-pêl”) vermaak sedert 2012 gehore – veral voorskoolse en juniorfase-leerders regoor Suid Afrika.

Anell vertel dat dit só ironies is dat die eerste CD wat sy besit het, een van Sonja Herholdt was – wat sy vir haarself in 1981 gekoop het.

“Rinhard en Milan het die deelname aan die vervaardiging van die musiekvideo (wat in volgende jaar beskikbaar sal wees) vreeslik geniet en het sommer skielik baie selfvertroue gekry. Hulle het boonop so ‘n bietjie van die morbiede dinge van die Covid-19 ervarings vergeet,” noem Anell dankbaar.

The SPCA Louis Trichardt’s Christmas Craft and Farmers’ Market, as well as their ever-popular Mutt Mile, will take place at the SPCA’s grounds along the Vondeling Road on 27 November.

“Now is the time to buy presents for your family and friends, and where better to do this than at the SPCA where you will be helping us take care of the animals at the same time,” said the local SPCA team.

Market-goers will find a variety of goods to choose from, including jewellery, shoes, handbags, artwork, plants and gardening supplies, fresh vegetables, bottled produce, Tupperware, as well as wooden toys and trinkets for the little ones.

“For the hungry shoppers there will be pancakes, corn dogs, burgers, kebabs, biltong and much more. Indian cuisine and dried fruit and nuts will be available as well,” said the team. “Don’t forget to buy a book or two that has been donated to the SPCA. The Legacy Vet Shop has everything you need for your pets,” they added. You can also have your photo taken, postcard size and printed on the same day at their photo booth.

The stall holders have also generously donated items from their stalls towards a Christmas hamper with a collective value of R3 000 and growing that will be raffled off.

Tickets at R10 can be purchased from the SPCA and the draw will take place at 13:00 on the day.

“For our stall holders, there will also be three prizes for the best decorated stalls, namely R500 cash prize from Letaba Wireless, R300 voucher from Beauty by Cristine and a R300 voucher from Seisoene. So get your creative thinking caps on and put yourself in line for a lovely reward,” invites the SPCA team.

Residents are reminded that by supporting the market stalls they are also supporting the animals. A number of their stallholders sell their wares for the benefit of other individual charities, such as churches or schools.

For more information please visit the Louis Trichardt SPCA Facebook page. For a small donation, you can book a stall by contacting Grietjie of the SPCA on 072 516 6895.

The Helping Hands Women Forum Louis Trichardt (LTT) and community would like to support this initiative and will be partaking in the mass initiative on 4 December by hosting a fete at 13:30 at the Evim Pre-school Gardens in Eltivillas.

Another serious problem that has ensued from it in South Africa, though, is delays in

the completion of many key projects that are supposed to benefit the country. One such project is the Musina Ring Road, which is currently under construction to the west of Musina town.

The construction of this ring road started in 2016 and was expected to be completed by 2018.

However, Basil Read, the first contractor on the project, went into business rescue in 2018.

A new contractor, named Raubex, took over at the end of last year (2020) and was expected to complete the project by the end of this year.

However, Covid-19 continued to unleash unprecedented challenges that made reaching this goal difficult for them.

Now that the country is on alert level 1, most economic activities seem to be back on track.

Following an oversight visit to the project by the Minister in the Presidency, Mondli Gungubele, and the Head of Infrastructure in the presidency, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, on Monday, 21 November, Gungubele estimated that the project should be completed by around March next year.

Gungubele said that the purpose of the ring road was to benefit Musina’s community, the rest of South Africa, as well as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries.

“We want to ensure that those economic investors who are already in the country stay here and those who want to invest can make those decisions. This will assist our country to move forward,” said Gungubele. He also said that the ring road would facilitate trade in the SADC

As things currently stand, Musina town experiences heavy traffic that poses a danger to pedestrians, and the local business community worry about access to their premises. However, once the project is completed, long-distance hauliers are not expected to pass through Musina town anymore, thus easing the congestion.

According to SANRAL’s regional manager, Progress Hlahla, SANRAL is spending about R670 million on the project. Musina’s community benefits from the project in more than one way, as R50 million has been spent on 19 local subcontractors. Several families, though, have been affected by the construction of the ring road. Thirty-two households had to be moved and were relocated to another compound where SANRAL had built new houses for them. Some of the families, however, now complain about the reduced yard space. The houses themselves apparently also have a number of faults, including leaking roofs and toilets. They also complain about not being compensated for the loss of their previous space, their fruit trees and damage to their belongings during the relocation. Hlahla said, however, that SANRAL had already paid for all their losses. He said that, should any of these families have trouble with leakages at their houses, they could contact him.

After their visit to the ring road-project, Minister Gungubele and his team also toured Beitbridge Border Post to get a sense of what the situation was there at the time.

Die Soutpansberg Muurbalklub het op 18 November hulle jaarlikse klubkampioenskappe aangebied. In die vroue-afdeling is Louise Lordan (links) as vrouekampioen gekroon, nadat sy die verdedigende kampioen Ronel Welman (regs) geklop het. Ronel het die titel van vrouekampioen vir bykans twee dekades (19 jaar) suksesvol verdedig en het met trots die nommer een posisie aan Louise oorgegee.

Tydens die Soutpansberg Muurbalklub se jaarlikse klubkampioenskappe op 18 November het die klub hulle jaar se aktiwiteite op tradisionele wyse afgesluit met ‘n houtraket toernooi. Dit is vanjaar aangebied as ‘n dubbelstoernooi met Nardus Barnard (links) en Dirk du Preez (regs) wat as wenners aangewys is. “Ten spyte van ‘n moeilike jaar met Covid-regulasies en onsekerheid oor die toekoms van die bane was dit steeds ‘n goeie jaar vir die muurbalklub. Die klub bly oop oor die feestyd en alle spelers is welkom om steeds te speel,” het klubvoorsitter Ronel Welman gesê.
