Unified action to force service delivery - page 6

Hospital board of the opinion acting CEO is not capable of running local state hospital

By Andries van Zyl

Unkempt and unhygienic ... Not words you would want to associate with a hospital, but this is exactly the situation at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital.

The Zoutpansberger managed to obtain a copy of the hospital board’s most recent report on the general state of affairs at this state hospital, and it makes for some shocking reading. The report follows the board’s visit to the hospital on 17 July. The board itself consists of elected members of the public as appointed by the MEC for Health and Social Development. A copy of their report was submitted to the hospital two weeks ago.

The report starts off by stating that the hospital’s guards, appointed to safeguard the safety of staff and patients, seen against the backdrop of several violent assaults and murders at state hospitals over the past few years, “have difficulty communicating in English (none of them could understand or speak Afrikaans).

Only three guards were on duty at the main gate. One was supposed to be roaming the grounds, but could not be found.

The safety gate at the maternity ward was unguarded.”

As for general appearance, the conclusion was that the grounds were in an unkempt state. “Plastic bags, condom wrappers and paper were lying around the area.”

Although the appearance of the staff was, according to the report, generally good “... very few of them were busy in the wards. While we waited for the CEO (approximately 25 minutes) there was nobody in the accounts office (from 14h00 till 14h30). When we started the inspection, the office was still empty. The same at 16h00,” reads the report.

With regard to the availability of equipment, medicine and cleaning materials, the situation at the hospital is dire.

“No apparatus for testing blood sugar.

Two pints (of) emergency blood were available. There was no toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, antiseptics, [or] paper for the ECG machine. In the afternoon, there are no doctors on duty. In the mornings, there may be two on duty.

“Shortages [medicine] are extreme. The medicine cabinet keys are hanging in the

locks. There appears to be no control of drug cabinet keys. In the whole hospital there is one small bar of soap, which the staff bought. Latex gloves are in short supply (at one stage nurses were issued one pair per day).

“In general state of disrepair [equipment]. Autoclave machines are all broken.

All equipment is taken to Malamulele hospital to be sterilized. All laundry washing machines are broken ...,” the report concludes, among other things.

Although the above already places a serious question mark over hygiene at the hospital, the greatest reason for concern was the lack of water at the facility.

“There is no water at the hospital, except for a few litres that are brought in each morning. The 10 000 litre water tank has not been filled since January. The borehole pump is broken. There is no soap, detergents, antiseptics at all,” the board found. This begged the question, how do staff wash their hands, flush toilets and keep the hospital clean?

In the maternity ward, the situation looked just as bleak.

Report makes for shocking reading

Dié drie vindingryke “troebadoers” het vandeesweek stelling ingeneem op die sypaadjie voor ‘n onderneming in die sentrale sakegebied van Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Met hul musiek het hulle voetgangers se aandag getrek na ‘n kennisgewing wat sê hulle benodig ‘n geldjie om universiteit toe te gaan. Die innoverende entrepreneurs trio is Phillip, Boelie en Paul.

Haar voertuig se band het vermoedelik gebars, waarna dit die pad verlaat en omgeslaan het. Sy is op slag dood.

Carmen sal onthou word vir haar jarelange betrokkenheid by Dinnermates, waar sy die kwaliteitbeheer behartig het. Daarna het sy ook laboratoriumwerk en kwaliteitbeheer behartig by die Limpopo Melkery. Sowat vier jaar gelede het sy egter besluit om haar eie droom na te jaag en begin met die kweek van proteas vir die uitvoermark.

“Graag wil ons die Witvlag Plaaswag, die mense wat op die toneel gehelp het, asook almal wat SMS’e en boodskappe van vertroosting gestuur het, bedank vir hul omgee,” het Theo Dinsdag gesê. ‘n Roudiens word Vrydag op die plaas vir wyle Carmen gehou.

Plaasmoord-verhoor neem dramatiese wending Die verhoor van ‘n vermeende plaasaanvaller het vandeesweek ‘n dramatiese wending geneem toe die beskuldigde beweer het die vermoorde man se vrou het hom geld aangebied om haar man te vermoor.

Dennis Moyo (37), ‘n Zimbabwiër wat daarvan beskuldig word dat hy in 2002 ‘n bekende boer van Pontdrif vermoor het, het Maandag en Dinsdag in die Rondgaande Hooggeregshof op Makhado (Louis Trichardt) verskyn. Hy word aangekla van moord, huisbraak met die opset om te roof en roof met verswarende omstandighede.

Destyds is daar berig oor dié moord, wat die Pondrift-boeregemeenskap tot in sy fondamente geskud het. Volgens inligting is die 51-jarige mnr. Rudi Schmidt en sy vrou, Corlia, na bewering deur Moyo in

die vroeë oggendure in hul plaaswoning oorrompel.

Maandag het dit, by monde van Moyo se regsverteenwoordiger, aan die lig gekom dat Moyo van plan is om te kom getuig dat Corlia hom geld aangebied het om haar man te vermoor. Corlia, wat vir die Staat getuig het oor wat gebeur het die aand toe haar man dood is, het dié aantygings teen haar ontken.

Insake daardie aand se gebeure het sy getuig dat sy wakker geword het toe ‘n staallem teen haar gedruk is. ‘n Gemaskerde indringer het langs die egpaar se bed gestaan. Terwyl sy naarstigtelik probeer het om haar vuurwapen uit haar handsak te grawe, het die aanvaller glo begin om haar man te takel. Die struweling tussen die twee het van die kamer na die kombuis gevorder.

Corlia het getuig dat sy in die warboel nie haar vuurwapen kon kry nie en toe kombuis toe is om die ketel aan te sit om die aanvaller met kookwater te gooi. “Ek het onthou dat ek iewers gelees of gehoor het dat mens indringers kan afskrik met kookwater,” het Corlia gesê.

Schmidt het glo intussen daarin geslaag om die aanvaller te verdryf, maar het op die toneel beswyk aan ‘n borswond.

Moyo is eers in Mei verlede jaar vir ‘n tweede keer aangekla van die moord op Schmidt, nadat hy in 2002 aan die Zimbabwiese owerhede uitgelewer is.

Tien jaar het verloop voordat Moyo weer aan Suid-Afrika uitgelewer is en weer aangekla kon word. Teen druktyd moes Corlia nog klaar getuig. Daar sou na verwagting nog twee getuies vir die Staat kom getuig het teen Donderdag.

Action group say they did lodge formal objection The Makhado Action Group (MakAG) expressed their dismay with an article in last week’s Zoutpansberger that focussed on the activities of Australian mining company Coal of Africa Limited (CoAL), especially where it was stated that “no formal objections” against the proposed projects were lodged.

The article reported on six amended environmental management plan (EMP) documents that CoAL submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) on 14 August, after no “formal objections” towards their Greater Soutpansberg Project were received.

MakAG differs from this statement.

According to a press release MakAG issued on Monday, they submitted their objections in writing to CoAL’s indepen-

dent consultant, Naledi Developments, on 24 July. This statement refers to the time (25 June until 24 July) that the public had to comment on the draft EMPs. CoAL needs to submit these documents to obtain prospecting rights licences from the DMR. In addition, MaKAG points out that their objections were also highlighted in the Comments and Response part of all six EMPs. “It is unwise and unsustainable to continue to plan such large mining developments in such a water-scarce area without being able to answer strategic questions about water supply,” says the group.

Regarding the fact that they had received no “formal objections”, CoAL this week explained that various affected parties had indicated that they wanted to

object to the prospecting licences. “This objection is mainly based on the possibility that the prospecting rights will be promoted to mining rights, which are not the subject of the adapted EMP,” said CoAL’s legal advisors, Russell and Associates, in an email to the newspaper. This, they said, is why they hold that no objections to the prospecting and matters relating to the adjusted EMPs have been received.

Russell and Associates, however, did confirm that they had received a formal objection from MakAG regarding the “potential impact of mining activities … not the prospecting.” n the meantime, MakAG said that they intended to lodge a formal objection to the DMR “now that CoAL’s application has been received by the department.”

Prostitution rife in crime hot-spot area

Driekuns vir Triegies by tienertoneelfees

Prostitution has become rife in certain areas of Makhado (Louis Trichardt) and the efforts of the SAPS to curb this problem seem to have a minimal effect.

Young girls continue to sell their bodies for as little as R10 to male customers and business often gets conducted in the bushes next to the road.

A popular spot for the prostitutes is at the corner of Grobler and Malherbe Street. The police are well aware of this and regularly patrol the area to monitor the activities of the sex workers.

This spot has become infamous by the name Dzithangani (reed cane), due to the fact that there are lots of wild reeds next to the road.

When the Zoutpansberger’s reporter first visited Dzithangani a fortnight ago, the police were busy raiding the bushes.

Several sex workers were found hiding in the wild grass and the police escorted them to the back of the police van.

“They always arrest us and demand we pay a fine,” said one of the three sex workers found in the bushes. Another one added that the fine which they were normally required to pay

Die toneelgroep van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt behaal ‘n besonderse driekuns, nadat hulle vir die derde agtereenvolgende jaar gekroon word as die Gauteng streekswenners by die ATKV Tienertoneelfees.

“Ons kom huis toe met 16 silwer toekennings en goud vir Larissa Venter! Silwer is die hoogste toekenning by die streekfees, maar hulle het die uitsondering gemaak om vir Larissa vir haar puik verhoogspel goud te gee,” vertel ‘n opgewonde mnr. Nico Scheepers. Dit is die eerste keer in die geskiedenis dat goud aan individue tydens die fees toegeken word.

Die Triegie toneelgroep het met hul verhoogstuk Atlas teen 27 skole meegeding en ná hul optrede op Vrydag, 24 Augustus, is hulle gekies om die Saterdagaand by die finaal van die Gauteng-streek op te tree. Die drie skole wat teen hulle in die UNISA Kleinteater gekompeteer het, was Hoërskole Zwartkop en Garsfontein van Pretoria en Hoërskool Helpmekaar van Johannesburg. En daar laat die Triegies die stadskole weer op hul neuse kyk deur eerste te eindig.

Nou is dit die naelbyt wagtydperk om te hoor watter toneelgroepe word na die Aardklop Kunstefees uitgenooi. By Aardklop sal tien toneelstukke meeding vir die nasionale wentrofee.

Die afgelope twee jaar het Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se toneelgroep by Aardklop met die nasionale wisseltrofee en R20 000 prysgeld uit die stryd getree. In 2010 het hulle Kolom opgevoer en in 2011 Loodballon, albei stukke geskryf deur Nico Scheepers. Nico is ‘n oud-leerling van die skool en het self in die skool se toneelgroep gespeel.

Vanjaar se produksie, Atlas, is ook deur Nico geskryf en handel oor ‘n jong seun se stryd om balans te vind tussen sy geloof, sy ouers en sy toekoms.

Arno Venter het die hoofrol vertolk. Larissa was sy sussie en Anton Pretorius ‘n vriend. Die drie hoofspelers het hul eie name in die stuk gebruik.

“Ons het dit gedoen sodat daar geen afstand tussen die gehoor en die karakters is nie, “ sê Nico.

Arno en Anton het silwer toekennings ontvang.

Nico het silwer ontvang vir regie, beligting, teks en choreografie en sê dat sy musiektoekenning sal gaan na Gideon Scheepers, wat net soveel van die musiek as hyself geskryf het. Die hoofrolspelers en al die byspelers het silwer vir ensemblespel

for selling sex in a prohibited area ranged from R10 to R150.

What the Zoutpansberger established is that the police vans patrol the area almost every 10 minutes. When they arrive, the sex workers sneak into the tall grass, only to resurface once again when the police vehicles have passed.

“Our kids need to eat and wear nice clothes,” explained one woman. “Do you think we’re here for fun?” the same woman asked. “Arali ni sa funi u renga fhirani zwanu (If you’re not here to buy sex, then just go your way).”

Soon after saying that, she mentioned that she had only managed to cater for two clients that day, so she would have to walk to Tshikota instead of taking a taxi. “She’s from Zimbabwe, that one,” said another. “Next time when you get money, come and buy from me.

Even if you have only R10.”

According to women who agreed to speak to us, the sex workers at the corner of Grobler and Malherbe Street commute daily from places such as Thohoyandou, Sinthumule and Kutama, Nzhelele, Musina and Elim. They are adamant that the

“no-prostitution” operation by the SAPS will never stop them from conducting business in town. “You can’t sell sex in the village,” they said.

The spokespersons for the Makhado police, Capt Maano Sadiki, said the police arrest sex workers and take them to court, where they would normally be given a ticket (fine).

“These same people always go back to selling their bodies after being released,” he said. “But that does not stop us from doing our job. That area is dangerous to both the client and those who sell their bodies, since they can mug or kill each other.”

The billboard announces that the area is a crime hotspot.

´n Gevaarlike ongemerkte gat op een van die besigste sypaadjies in die sentrale sakegebied van Makhado (Louis Trichardt).

Die gat is verlede week deur munisipale werkers gegrawe om ´n lekkende waterpyp te ontbloot op die hoek van Songozwi- en Burgerstraat. Die gat is net so gelaat, sonder enige waarskuwingslint of ander veiligheidsversperring. Dit skep veral saans ´n ernstige gevaar vir voetgangers. Lesers sal die Zoutpansberger se voorbladberig verlede week onthou oor die sowat R500 000 wat die munisipaliteit moet opdok ná ‘n inwoner haar been in ‘n slaggat gebreek het. Mens kan nie anders as om te wonder of bogenoemde gat ook dalk die munisipaliteit baie duur sal kos nie?

“Die beoordelaars het ons geprys en gesê dat ons ‘n tema aangeraak het wat mense bang is om aan te raak, terwyl tieners in aanraking daarmee kom en daardeur gaan. Hulle het gesê dat ons dit sensitief en met deernis hanteer het, sonder om vingers te wys,” sê Nico. Hy is vol lof vir die toneelgroep.”Dankie julle!

Unified action to force service delivery

In a new development, residents of the Makhado Municipal area, all tormented by water shortages, are taking hands across racial lines in order to act in a unified and forceful manner. A new interim committee of Makhado residents, called the Makhado Concerned Group, is chaired by Mr Lawrence Makatu (left). With him is Mr Wally Schultz, chairperson of the newly launched local AfriForum branch.

By Linda van der Westhuizen

Municipality envisage solutions to crisis The Makhado Municipality envisages some possible solutions to address the water crisis in the Makhado Municipal area.

Besides drilling six new boreholes in Makhado town, some other strategies were mentioned by the acting municipal manager, Mr Elias Mugari. * A service provider will be appointed before the end of August to do the refurbishment of the existing bulk water pipeline from the Albasini water works to Mowkop reservoir. “This will cut down the frequency of the bursts along the bulk pipeline,” Mugari stated.

* A tender for the construction of a 29.7km bulk pipeline (of 800mm diameter) from Valdezia to Mowkop has once again been advertised. * The construction of the Nandoni bulk water pipeline to Valdezia is envisaged to be completed by April 2013. “This will result in a permanent solution to our water supply in town and surrounding areas,” Mugari stated. * The construction of a 12-megalitre reservoir is underway in Makhado Town.

In addition to the above, Mugari said that the “turnaround time for addressing water leaks

had been shortened” and that water trucks are sometimes used at spots where acute water shortages are experienced.

“We are hopeful that all the above strategies will assist towards resolving the existing water-shortage challenges in Makhado town and surrounding areas,” Mugari stated.

All the strategies were stated in a letter to the attorneys of AfriForum, a civil rights organisation threatening with a court interdict to force the municipality to comply with the basic requirements in respect of water supply.

In a new development, residents of the Makhado Municipal area, all tormented by water shortages, are taking hands across racial lines in order to act in a unified and forceful manner.

A brand new committee of concerned Makhado residents was formed on 18 July, the same evening that the mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, held a public meeting in the Makhado Show Hall to address local residents on the water crisis in the area.

Angry residents stayed behind and formed the Interim Committee of Makhado Residents, also called the Makhado Concerned Group.

“The Makhado Municipality should stop charging us for water and the services thereof with immediate effect, until a consistent and uninterrupted water supply is restored,” was the first resolution stated in a memorandum by the new committee.

Their second resolution was that the congestion at pay points should be reduced by re-establishing other pay points that are no longer operational.

The committee gave the municipality two weeks to implement the above, “failing which we shall be left with no option but to resort to legal means to have our problems solved”. Their memorandum was received by the Makhado Municipality on 10 August and the Makhado residents wanted their reply before 29 August, when “we have to report to the masses at a meeting scheduled for 29 August”.

The committee is chaired by Mr Lawrence Makatu. “We don’t want any political connotation to this committee. If we don’t see improvement in services, our end goal is to push the people out who do not render proper services,” Makatu said.

“The chaotic meeting of the mayor did not resolve any of the issues on the table, but has drawn residents from across all communities to take hands in a unified attempt to rectify the rapidly collapsing water supply and sewerage systems in the Makhado district,” said Mr Wally Schultz, chairperson of the local AfriForum branch, which was also launched directly after the said “chaotic meeting”. AfriForum intends to take the legal route to resolve the worsening water crisis.

In the meantime, Makatu and Schultz met and forged an alliance to tackle the issues in court. “It is time for all residents of the Makhado district, regardless of race, to act as one, to hold our municipalities accountable … and we welcome the support offered by the local branch of AfriForum,” said a delighted Makatu.

“Lawrence and I agree on all the issues at stake and have agreed to work closely together in preparing AfriForum’s court action against both the Vhembe and Makhado municipalities. Should we win this court case, and we believe that we will … it will register a landmark victory and will set a legal precedent for other communities...” Schultz said.

The AfriForum legal team studied the answering letter of the Makhado Municipality on the water crisis in the municipal area. “The legal team said that the answer was inadequate and therefore they are proceeding. The Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) did not even bother to respond,” said Schultz.

Environment

Anthrax outbreak in Kruger Park

At least 30 carcasses of roan antelope were discovered at the Capricorn Rare Antelope Enclosure around the Mopani camp area of the Kruger National Park (KNP).

According to a statement by the park, the animals are believed to have died from an outbreak of the anthrax disease in the park. It is also stated that it normally happens from time to time during this time of the year.

The statement warns that anthrax is a bacterial disease, which is very dangerous to both animals and human beings. People are advised not to touch any carcass found in the park. Instead, if they see any dead animal, they should report it to the nearest camp.

CALENDAR / WHAT’S ON? KALENDER / WAT GEBEUR? (Vervolg van p. 8) “We at the ministers forum thought it prudent to host a service dedicated to praying for rain. We are told in the Scriptures to ask for what we need. Here is an opportunity to ask for some very-much-needed rain. We continue to trust God that He will provide for our needs in all areas of our lives, be it in the community or in our private lives. Of course, the focus of the event will be on praying for rain,” said one of the organizers, Rev Robby Novella.

10 31 August 2012 In Memoriam

Soutpansberg’s adventurous Dr Daan Marais passes away Dr Daan Marais, a well-known resident of the Soutpansberg, passed away on 21 August in the Limpopo Mediclinic in Polokwane. Aged 83, Marais died from heart failure, five days after undergoing hip surgery.

Daniel Francois Marais was born on 17 July 1929 on the family farm Oorbietjiesfontein near Hartbeesfontein in the North West Province. He spent most of his young life with his cousins, for he was an only child and his father passed away when Marais was 10 years old.

Marais matriculated at the Heidelberg Hoër Volkskool, whereafter he studied medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand. Although he practiced as a general practitioner, his main fields of interest were orthopaedic surgery and anaesthetics.

Marais was a born adventurer and often bunked classes to go on an expedition or hunting trip. On one such occasion, he almost died from histoplasmosis (cave disease), which he contracted while he The late Dr Daan Marais (83). Photo supplied. and a couple of classmates explored an unknown

section of the Sterkfontein cave system. Shortly thereafter, he rowed a canoe singlehandedly down the Vaal River. Before completing his degree, Marais also hitched a ride to Durban to work aboard a whaling ship.

Fortunately, the ship had already departed and he had to return to his studies.

Marais led the first Trans-African Waterway Expedition in 1958. Setting out from the Port of Chinde in the Zambezi estuary on the Indian Ocean on 1 June, they travelled 5 792 km via four lakes and seven major rivers to reach the Atlantic Ocean at Banana Point in the Congo River estuary on 23 August. They completed the journey in three custom-designed fibreglass boats with outboard engines. The primary purpose of the expedition was to survey the route to determine the possible development of an equatorial water highway, providing arterial links of commerce and industry between the two oceans.

Marais was also a big game hunter and roamed the plains of Southern Africa in search of record trophies, travelling as far as Angola, Barotseland in Zambia and Northern Mozambique. He also acted as a stunt double for Michael Craig in the 1958 British movie Nor the Moon by Night, where he shot a charging elephant bull on the set. A few years later, Marais had a change of heart after he witnessed two young elephant bulls attempting to keep an older wounded bull upright by supporting it with their bodies. He stopped hunting and devoted his time to conservation and the breeding of rare animals and birds. Marais transferred his knowledge of hunting rifles into the development of tranquilliser dart guns for the capturing and relocation of wild animals.

Marais soon accumulated a menagerie of animals at his home in Edenvale, ranging from a giant python to a pet brown hyena. That is also where he met his new neighbour’s daughter, Patricia Barker, and soon asked for her hand in marriage. Marais and Pat got married on 10 September 1960 and when their backyard became overcrowded with animals, they relocated to Muldersdrift to establish a game farm.

Marais was also a keen photographer. He and Pat criss-crossed Southern Africa to record and capture Bushman rock art on film. Where possible, he photographed live animals in the exact same position as the animals depicted in the paintings and engravings to demonstrate the ingenious accuracy of the artists. During these travels, they built up a prize-winning collection of Lithops, tiny stone-like succulents native to Southern Africa. They donated their Lithops collection to the Botanical Gardens in Pretoria.

Marais and his family relocated to Louis Tri­ chardt in 1970. He settled down on Klein Afrika, a game farm just north of the Hendrik Verwoerd tunnels. In between working at his consulting rooms and at the Louis Trichardt Memorial Hospital, he built a dream house with a large Baobab tree in the courtyard and resumed his dog- and game-breeding projects. Marais compiled a short film on survival techniques for the airforce and trained numerous pilots in survival skills. He also presented various lectures on survival to the local commando, high-school cadets and children attending the Schoemansdal Veld School.

Seeing as Klein Afrika bordered the former home­land of Venda, many inhabitants from nearby villages streamed to the house for medical attention. Marais had no option but to establish a small clinic on the farm. To his utmost surprise, the first President of the Republic of Venda, Chief Patrick Mphephu, also visited the clinic. Soon after his inauguration as the second President of Venda, Chief Frank Ravele also became one of Marais’s patients. Both Presidents visited Marais at his home on a regular basis, often to consult him about new animal breeding projects and the establishment of game parks.

Marais and Pat had been living on the banks of the Sand River in the Mopane area for the past 14 years. He was a remarkable person with a boundless general knowledge and often said: “you might not know everything, but you should know something about everything”. He is survived by his wife, four children and six grandchildren.

Krisis noop eie boorgat vir hospitaal

Afgeneem by die opening van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal se nuwe boorgat is voor, van links na regs, Tappies Jnr. du Toit (Trio Pompe) en Fanie van Zyl (tegniese bestuurder van die hospitaal). In die middel is Marie du Toit (Trio Pompe), dr. Lappies Labuschagne (direkteur), dr.

Die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal se water ellendes is nou iets van die verlede.

Vir die afgelope jaar moes die hospitaal, soos die res van die dorp, saam met kroniese wateronderbrekings leef en moes hulle hul opgaartenks van twee na vyf vermeerder om oor die weg te kom.

Met die afgelope vier maande se erge wateronderbrekings kon die hospitaal egter nie voorbly om hul opgaartenks vol te hou nie.

Hierdie bekommernis is nou iets van die verlede, sedert die

hospitaal op Donderdag, 9 Augustus, hul eie boorgat in gebruik geneem het.

Tydens ‘n openingseremonie wat verlede week gehou is, is daar onder andere ook water uit die nuwe boorgat aan gaste voorgesit.

Tydens hierdie geleent­heid het die bestuur en direkteure van die hospitaal die publiek bedank vir hul geduld tydens die waterkrisis.

Ander mense wat bedank is, was mnr. Tappies du Toit van Trio Pompe wat op eie inisiatief die pomp vir die boorgat geskenk en toegerus het. ‘n Woord van

dank het ook gegaan aan Bona Manzi Bore, wat verantwoordelik was vir die boorwerk, en Arno Meiring van Elect2Temp.

“Nou kan ons ook weer aandag gee aan die hospitaal se tuin,” het me. Anneke Stroebel, die hospitaal se administratiewe bestuurder, opgemerk.

Sodra die tuin weer tot ‘n mate herstel het, sal die hospitaal dan na ‘n gryswaterstelsel vir die tuin oorskakel en sal daar net in noodgevalle staatgemaak word op die boorgatwater.

“Ons wil so ver ons kan water bespaar,” het Stroebel gesê.

Deur Linda van der Westhuizen

Munisipaliteit laat pad van verwoesting Munisipale werkers het ‘n boom op ‘n onprofessionele wyse afgekap en sodoende ‘n inwoner groot skade berokken. Asof dit nie genoeg was nie, het die munisipale tru-grawer ‘n pad van verwoesting agtergelaat …

“Ek kan nie soos ‘n barbaar leef met alles wat stukkend en deurmekaar is nie. Ek het baie geld spandeer om hier netjies te maak,” sê mnr. Danie van der Merwe. Van der Merwe woon op die hoek van Leeu- en Baobabstraat.

Die drama het begin toe ‘n waterpyp aan die munisipale kant op Sondag, 12 Augustus, gebars het. ‘n Dag of twee later het munisipale werkers opgedaag om ‘n reuse boom uit te kap, vermoedelik omdat die boomwortels die waterpyp laat bars het. Die boom is egter sommer van onder af afgesny en het ongekontroleerd in ‘n ander boom ingeval en dié gebreek. ‘n Buitelig en elektriese kabels is gebreek en die hele gedeelte van die oprit voor die hek was afgesper. Die video-interkom was ook daarna buite werking.

Van der Merwe het met mnr. Rexon Mulaudzi van die munisipaliteit se parke-afdeling oor die gemors en skade gepraat. “Rexon het aan my gesê dat ek my nie moet bekommer nie, hulle sal al

die skade kom regmaak,” sê Van der Merwe. Die gat waar die boom uitgehaal is, was omtrent twee meter diep en is naby die sypaadjie aan Leeustraat se kant. Die gevaarlike gat het vir meer as ‘n week oop gestaan.

Die munisipaliteit het egter op 23 Augustus hul tru-grawer met die reeds berugte vrouebestuurder gestuur en dié het nog ‘n groter spoor van verwoes­ ting agtergelaat. Met geen respek vir eiendom nie, het plaveisel in die slag gebly, asook klippe en plante in die tuin buite die hek en oprit. Hierdie gedeelte is amper soos ‘n park op die hoek, wat deur Van der Merwe onderhou word. Die tru-grawer het bo-oor die stompe van die boom gery en skade opgedoen, sodat die hidroliese olie uitgelek het in die oprit. Van der Merwe het dringend versoek dat ‘n ander bestuurder gestuur moet word.

Die erf is baie laer as Leeustraat en Van der Dit is hoe ‘n eens netjiese tuin en keerwal nou daar uitsien nadat munisipale werkers ‘n groot Merwe het ‘n keerwal met groot klippe gebou boom uitgehaal het en daarna met ‘n tru-grawer verwoesting gesaai het. Mnr. Danie van der om die afspoel van grond oor sy oprit te keer. Dié Merwe staan op die plek waar die groot boom tevore gestaan het. keerwal is verwoes. Die tweede bestuurder het slegs meer grond oor die keerwal gestoot en dit in ‘n grondwal verander.

“Ek het die huis 20 jaar gelede gebou. Ek het nog altyd my eie span gekry en my eie werk gedoen.

Dis die eerste keer dat ‘n munisipale span hier kom werk. As jy ‘n boom afsny, begin jy tog bo afsny tot dit bo kaal is. As jy dan afsaag, maak jy seker dat die boom na die regte kant toe val. Hierdie mense maak ‘n mens kwaad en moedeloos,” sê Van der Merwe. Hy het intussen die skade beraam op tussen R5 000 en R6 000, sonder die interkom.

Vrae is aan die Makhado Munisipaliteit gestel, omdat dit nie die eerste geval is waar bome op onkundige wyse afgekap is of waar die tru-grawer se bestuurder amok gemaak het nie. In Maart vanjaar is grafstene deur die tru-grawer se bestuurder stukkend gery, en na aanleiding van ander voorvalle sou die munisipaliteit al in September verlede jaar ‘n ondersoek loods.

“Love STOPs never” reads this vandalised stop sign on the corner of Breda and Burger Street Die munisipale woordvoerder, mnr. Louis Boin Makhado (Louis Trichardt). Apart from supplying dubious new motivation for local drivers’ bodi, het op 28 Augustus geantwoord, “Ons is nog total lack of respect for stop streets, this type of vandalism is posing a threat to road safety and besig om ondersoek in te stel. Wanneer ons klaar is costing taxpayers a pretty penny in the replacement of vital traffic signs. is daarmee, sal ons definitief die inligting verskaf.”

This stop sign in the Musina CBD has been down for more than two weeks. The absence of the sign created a dangerous situation for traffic in proximity to one of the busiest petrol stations close to the heavy international traffic on National Road. Photo supplied.

Annemie Grobler, Graad 2 leerder van Laerskool Louis Trichardt, ontvang ‘n diploma vir Engels voorbereide lees (prosa). Die geleentheid was die Nasionale Eisteddfod wat op 6 Augustus in die saal van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt gehou is.

Makhado (Louis Trichardt) het die afgelope Saterdag gebrul ... dit is nou van al die motorfietse wat as deel van die Road Hogs Motorfietsklub se Day Jol in ´n massarit deur die dorp gery het.

Van die plaaslike motorfietsgeesdriftiges is afgeneem terwyl hulle in Stubbsstraat gery het.

´n Duur verligte naambord langs die N1 deur Musina lê hier platgery op die sypaadjie. Die straat dra swaar internasionale verkeer. Inwoners hoop dat die bord so spoedig moontlik weer opgetel en herstel sal word.

Daar het ´n gesellige atmosfeer geheers tydens die jaarlikse Day Jol van die Louis Trichardt Road Hogs Motorfietsklub. Ricky Farber het deur die loop van die dag opgetree, met paartjies wat nie die versoeking kon weerstaan om ´n paar passies uit te kap op die ritme van sy liedjies nie.

Skaars was die rioolstorting aan die munisipaliteit se kant in Cilliersstraat herstel of die bedlêende tannie Marie Koekemoer (76) en haar dogter, me. Meisie du Plessis, is weer deur ondraaglike rioolstank geteister, met ‘n groot rioolgemors in hul oprit. Hierdie keer was dit riool wat onderdeur die muur van die aangrensende meenthuiskompleks syfer.

Dinsdag is die drein, skaars ‘n meter van waar me. Du Plessis hier staan, maar aan die ander kant van die muur, oopgemaak en grond bo-oor gegooi om die stank te bekamp.

The Way, the Truth and the Life

T

he same power and goodness of God that gives us life also sustains and preserves us. No matter how much the world despise the Word of God, it will always stay the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18 says “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who perish, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” In 1 Peter 2:2 we read: “As new born babies, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”

Milk here signifies the whole Word of God and all of its wholesome and saving truths as the proper nourishment for God’s children. These words are a lasting exhortation for all Christians at all stages of their Christian lives.

To grow spiritually we need to desire the pure milk of the Word. Spiritual milk is the only proper nourishment for the spiritual life.

Do not only listen to the Word out of habit, but desire it because it is your food. In Job 23:10 Job says when God tests him, he shall come forth as gold.

The reason for it we find in verse 12: “I have not departed from the commandment of His lips, I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.”

The desire for God’s Word must come from within and not as a result of exterior pressure.

Desire the Word of God not just to hear it, but to grow from hearing.

The Soutpansberg’s own Dalton Gang

Die Gideons Internasionaal se Louis Trichardt Laer het op 24 Augustus ‘n groot leraarsbanket gehou, waar leraars van die dorp onthaal en bedank is. Die plaaslike Gideons het vanjaar, in samewerking met ander Gideons van oor die land, ‘n massaplasing van 35 000 Bybels by 287 skole in die Vhembe distrik gehou. Tydens die banket is daar ook afskeid geneem van mnr. Dirk en me. Rena Coetzee, wat die afgelope 35 jaar by die Gideons betrokke was en ook stigterslede van die plaaslike laer was. Voor, van links na regs, is mnr. Dirk Coetzee, me. Rena Coetzee en mnr. Khorombi Mapholi (Gideon). Agter is me. Victoria Hlongwane, pastoor Wilson Hlongwane met hul dogtertjie, me.

“Wild West Adventures in the Great African Bush” is a recently published book by a former resident of Musina and is offering delightful reading fare for especially the residents of the northern parts of Limpopo.

It is a hilarious and heartwarming tale that allows readers to relive their own childhood. It is the story about the “notorious 1960s Messina Dalton Gang.”

Author David Robert Dalton was born in the copper mining town, where he spent his early years with his three elder brothers and his parents, in the middle of the bushveld, during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Inspired by his and his brothers’ fond memories of growing up there, and with some written contributions from his brothers, he pens Wild West Adventures in the Great African Bush, a wacky, side-splitting tale.

Set in the African bushveld (aka the “Great Arizona Desert”), the three elder Dalton ‘cowpokes’ are members of a gang dubbed the Messina “Dalton Gang”, after the infamous Wild West Dalton Gang, who roar around on their two-wheeler “steeds” and talk in tough Western jargon.

The youngest Dalton ‘cowpoke’, six-year-old David, calls himself “Gunslinger” and his main ambition in life is to become a recognized member of the gang.

Together with his little African “Pawnee” sidekick-hombre, Tokoloshie-Two-Feathers, and his three-legged Jack Russell dog, Jock, Gunslinger tries hard to impress but continually messes up.

There is a delightful array of small-town characters and the gang’s all-suffering parents, the Old Man and Daisy-Anne, who all contribute to the hilarity!

Dredging up one’s own childhood memories, it’s a wonderful, nostalgic tale to touch hearts of all ages!

The book is available at R130 in Polokwane.

Contact Mrs Glynis Coetzee at 015 2971491 or 079 8177979.

It is also available as e-book on the Internet.

August 2012 is a month with two full moons and is commonly referred to as a Blue Moon month.

Blue in name only and not in colour, as a blue moon is usually defined as the second full moon in one calendar month. The first full moon of the month was on 1 August and the second will be on 31 August.

Of course there are historical examples of the moon actually turning blue. It appeared blue in the sky when the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa exploded in 1883. The dust turned sunsets green and the moon blue all around the world for the best part of two years. In 1927, the Indian monsoons were late in arriving and the extra-long dry season also blew up enough dust for a blue moon. By the mid-19th century, it was clear that visibly

blue moons, though rare, did happen from time to time, hence the phrase: “Once in a blue moon.”

It meant then exactly what it means today - a fairly infrequent event, not quite regular enough to pinpoint.

The other definition of a blue moon states that the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Seasons are broken down into four of three months, starting from one winter solstice to the next.

This, in turn, is referred to as a tropical year, with each year consisting of 12 full moons, three each in winter, spring, summer, and autumn, and each is named for an activity appropriate to the time of year (such as the harvest moon in autumn). Occasionally, however, a tropical year contains 13 full moons. By identifying the extra, 13th moon as a blue moon,

the ecclesiastical calendar was able to stay on track.

Using the definition of two full moons in a calendar month, one sees that, over the next 20 years, there will be 15 blue moons, none occurring in February, which is shorter than a lunar cycle. No blue moon of any kind will occur in the years 2014 and 2017.

The most recent case of this phenomenon last occurred on 31 December 2009. The date also commemorated the end of IYA 2009 (International Year of Astronomy) and the Soutpansberg Astronomy Club and Limpopo Astronomy Outreach set up an astronomy display with telescopes at the Makhado Crossing, Louis Trichardt, to witness the last sunset of the year, as well as the last moonrise, which coincided with a blue moon as well as a partial eclipse.

André algehele wenner van Makoppa Tweekamp Die P&L Fietsryklub se jaarlikse Makoppa Tweekamp, wat die afgelope naweek by Schoemansdal buite Makhado (Louis Trichardt) beslis is, het weereens ‘n verskeidenheid fietsryers en hardlopers gelok.

Die algehele wenner was André Prinsloo wat die 4km draf, 40km fietsry en weer 4km draf in ‘n tyd van 02:02:10 voltooi het.

Een van die klub se opkomende juniors, Gift Nefolovhodwe, was die algehele wenner in die 3km draf, 30km fietsry en weer 3km draf in ‘n tyd van 01:31:28.

Hy was ook die eerste O/19. Klubmaat Rick Coetzee was algeheel tweede in dié afdeling en ook die eerste senior man in ‘n tyd van 01:33:19.

Nuweling Flippie Potgieter het die 1km draf, 10km fietsry en weer 1km draf gedomineer in ‘n verrassende tyd van 00:37:42, met jong Benjamin Taylor van Ridgeway Kollege in die tweedeplek. Die jongste atleet van die dag was die sesjarige Xander Keyser, wat ook aan dié kategorie deelgeneem het.

Eerskomende naweek neem die klub deel aan die Lentetrap in Polokwane, gevolg deur die VulaVula by Die Eiland op 15 September.

Intussen het die klub die Soutpansberg Atletiekklub bedank vir hul samewerking en bydraes om die Makoppa ‘n sukses te maak, asook vir Schoemansdal vir die gebruik van hul fasiliteite en die verkeersdepartement vir hul teenwoordigheid.
