More half truths?

By Andries van Zyl

The annual State of the Province Address (SOPA) on 24 February once again gave Limpopo Premier Mr Stanley Mathabatha a platform to make residents excited about government’s plans regarding the province’s economic growth, social development and prosperity for all its residents. As part of this, he promised 48 000 new job opportunities and again highlighted the Musina Makhado Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ) as one of the province’s flagship projects. Not all, however, applauded his announcement regarding the MMSEZ.

“After a long journey of pursuing the establishment of the Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone, we are proud to announce that finally the project will be officially launched this year. This follows the granting of the environmental authorization by the relevant authorities. This milestone will unlock the unlimited opportunities for the provincial economy,” said Mathabatha in his speech.

MMSEZ “dream” taking shape Mathabatha said that they had already set aside R600 million towards infrastructure rollout at the North Site of the project in Musina.

“The manufacturing, agro-processing and

logistics hubs of the project are finally taking off the ground. We are well on track in turning the Musina-Makhado Corridor into a melting-pot of industrial activity,” said Mathabatha. He proudly added that, in keeping with the global policy shift on energy generation and their commitment to sustainable development, the SEZ had embraced the net-zero carbon-emission goal by introducing green solar power. “In December 2021, the Musina-Makhado SEZ secured an investment commitment for the first phase of the energy-generation project to install a multi-billion-rand 1, 000-megawatt solar-power plant to support the metallurgical complex,” said Mathabatha.

In the same vein, Mathabatha said, they had made significant progress towards securing water resources for the SEZ. “This includes engagements with Zimbabwe and other SADC member states,” said the Premier. The issue of bulk-water supply to the proposed MMSEZ has always been a contentious issue.

Regarding the MMSEZ, Mathabatha concluded that they were also excited about the partnership with the Vhembe TVET College to build its Musina Satellite Campus inside the SEZ. “The partnership will contribute significantly to empower the youth in technical and vocational training,” (Contd on P2)

outside Musina.

The incident reportedly occurred at around 03:00, although the details surrounding the matter are still unclear.

Munzhelele’s mother, Ms Rendani Mavundadavhi, told Limpopo Mirror that she was awoken that morning by her son, who was running for his life to hide from the mayor and a group of other men who were chasing him after a brawl at a local tavern.

Mavundadavhi (48) said her son was injured when he got there. She accompanied him to the Muswodi-Dipeni Police Station to report the incident,

and police officers took them back to their home to find out what had happened. When the mayor and his gang later arrived at her house, Mavundadavhi thought that he had come to ask for forgiveness for what had happened.

“Surprisingly, the mayor showed no remorse and started swearing at me, pointing his fingers at me and spitting in my face, right in front of the police, while they did nothing.

I was disappointed that a dignified figure like the mayor was still at the tavern at 03:00 in the morning, fighting with young men, with his group of boys who booze with him by his side. As soon as he gets into a fight, they help him,” said Mavundadavhi.

According to her, the police were reluctant to do anything and also left, saying that her son had to go for a medical examination, so she hired transportation and went to the Vhufuli Donald Fraser Hospital. Afterwards, Munzhelele went back to the police station with a letter from the doctor and a case was opened.

“I don’t know how are we going to live with the mayor, as we live in the same village. We haven’t seen my son since he went to the police station from the hospital to open a case. He is nowhere to be found, but when I called him, he said he was in hiding because he is still afraid of the mayor and his boys,” Mavundadavhi said. She planned on going to the Mutale Magistrate’s Court to get a protection order against Mawela, as they fear for her son’s life.

Limpopo police spokesperson Brig Motlafela Mojapelo confirmed that the police in Muswodi had ar-

rested a 39-year-old man for assault GBH on the night of 26 February.

Mawela made an urgent bail application soon after his arrest and was granted R3 000 bail. When he appeared in court again on Monday, 28 February, he was not asked to plead. His case was postponed to 29 April for further police investigation and for him to get legal representation of his choice.

The spokesperson for the ANC in the Vhembe Region, Ms Gumani Mukwevho, told the Zoutpansberger that they were supposed to meet with the mayor after his court appearance to discuss his fate and the consequences of the matter.

She could not say when the meeting was to take place, only that they would issue a statement soon.

Mr Donald Selamolela, spokesperson for the Limpopo ANC, said the organization was disturbed by the mayor’s case, but that they were still waiting for the regional office in Vhembe to address them on the matter.

When asked about the “stepaside policy” of the ANC, Selamolela said that, for now, they could not comment on the issue, since they were still waiting to find out what had happened. He said that they would comment further as soon as the Vhembe regional office had thoroughly investigated the Mawela incident.

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe “En sy het gesê: Weggevoer is die eer uit Israel, omdat die ark van God geneem is” 1 Samuel 4:22.

I

srael is verslaan deur die Filistyne, die ark is weggevoer en Eli is dood; dit alles het ‘n hoogtepunt bereik in die geboorte van ‘n kindjie wat Ikabot genoem is. Ikabot beteken “geen glorie” - die eer is weggevoer uit Israel. Wanneer die volk van God hul vertroue stel in ‘n simbool in plaas van in God, loop hulle gevaar om hul eer te verloor.

Dit is moontlik dat ‘n volk wat roem op sy vrome voorvaders en wys op sy baie mooi kerkgeboue oor die hele land, van sy eer beroof mag word, omdat hy net op die uiterlike vorm staatmaak.

Hoe baie van ons kerkmense is tevrede met die gewone handeling van die godsdiens, terwyl hulle die krag daarvan loën?

Die Filistyne swig nie voor die ark nie, hoe heilig die draagbare kis ook al mag wees.

Die vyand vlug ook nie vir ons uiterlike godsdiens nie. Hy sien hoe magteloos ons is met al die vertoon van vroomheid.

Dit waarop ons vertrou, verdwyn in die uur van beproewing, versoeking en stryd.

Wat gebeur wanneer ‘n siel wat sonder Christus geleef het en op aarde met uiterlike vertoon tevrede gestel was, in die ewigheid ontwaak? Want nie hy wat sê: “Here, Here!

Sal ingaan in die koninkryk van die hemele nie, maar hy wat die wil doen van My Vader wat in die hemele is” ( Matt. 7:21).

Christus sal aan die ongehoorsames sê: Gaan weg van My, Ek het jou nie geken nie!

Ikabot, die eer is weggevoer!

- Ds. Johan Marais (Louis Trichardt Baptistekerk)

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Musina Local Municipality, Mr Wilson Dzebu, said that the municipality could not comment further on the matter since the matter was sub judice.

Fourie says they will oppose MMSEZ every step of the way thorisation that has been granted by the Limpopo Province, despite the fact that neither SOLVE (From P1) While some welcomed nor any of the other interested and affected Mathabatha’s announcement about the MMSEZ parties have been informed about the decision as and the promised riches it will bring to the required by law.

Regarding this, Fourie said that SOLVE, the Centre for Environmental Rights, Earthlife Africa, Vhembe Minerals Resources Development Forum and other organisations would oppose and object to each and every one of these MAKHADO CARE GROUP IS A projects. “SOLVE and the other organizations are currently waiting to be formally informed of NON PROFIT ORGANISATION the EA granted for parts of the MMSEZ developWHICH ASSISTS WITH THE ment, after which we will formally appeal the deCARE OF CANCER PATIENTS IN cision.

same trap again (as with the Vele Mine) to allow any work to be done on the site, as it opens up an avenue to push the rest of the project through based on the argument that ‘a lot of work, effort and money have been invested already and therefore the rest of the projects must continue’, as per Edna Molewa when granting a water-use license for Vele Mine. The fight against the MMSEZ and for the protection of the Limpopo valley’s environment and for a sustainable-development project that can create real development and jobs for our own people only starts now!” said Fourie.

DA questions water availability In response to Mathabatha’s speech, Democratic Alliance’s (DA) leader in the provincial legislature, Mr Jacques Smalle, said that the premier might have announced investments for the MMSEZ, but without efficient water infrastructure, proper sanitation and a well- maintained road network in the Vhembe District, these investments would amount to nothing.

Regarding this, Smalle highlighted the province’s already existing water problems.

“There are indications that 27% of boreholes in Limpopo have water quality that is marginal or poor for domestic use. Water quality, especially along the Luvuvhu river in Makhado Municipality, shows parameters such as COD, ammonia, turbidity and E-coli consistently exceeding SANS 241 limits, all due to the fact that 30% of our people do not have access to clean drinking water. Towns such as Louis Trichardt and Giyani go weeks without a drop of water,” said Smalle.

Smalle said that decisive action must be taken to establish and maintain the bulk infrastructure needed to support the proposed MMSEZ, adding that the DA was not against the idea of SEZs. “The Nandoni and De Hoop dams were both completed and still, 15 years later, downstream communities are yet to benefit due to continuous delays,” said Smalle.

“Ek weet nie of die straat vir my ge-jinx is nie” Deur Andries van Zyl Vir die tweede keer in bietjie meer is vier maande is die 62-jarige Len van der Walt van Louis Trichardt se lewe op sy kop gedraai vanweë ‘n motorongeluk – dié keer letterlik!

In Oktober verlede jaar het die Zoutpansberger berig hoe gelukkig Len was nadat ‘n motoris klaarblyklik ‘n stopteken verontagsaam en teen hoë spoed teen Len se voertuig in Kroghstraat, reg voor die Prognos Mediese Sentrum, vasgejaag het. Saterdag, 26 Februarie, was Len weer in Kroghstraat in ‘n ongeluk, met sy motor wat dié keer op sy dak te lande gekom het.

Len sê hy was net ná sewe die oggend in ‘n suidelike rigting op pad in Kroghstraat, aangesien hy vir ‘n Covid-19 toets moes gaan by die laboratorium by die perseel van die Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal. Sy idee was om af te ry tot in Joubertstraat en dan regs te draai, dus was hy in die regterkantste baan van die dubbelpad.

Die Covid-19 toets was vir ‘n lank-vooraf-beplande knie operasie by die Medikliniek in Tzaneen Maandag.

“Ek was op my gewone spoed gewees,” sê Len. Soos wat hy verby die polisiestasie suid gery het, het die verkeerslig by die Songozwistraat-kruising vir hom en ‘n man in ‘n silwer Toyota Corolla links van hom groen geslaan. Net voor die kruising het dinge skielik skeef geloop.

Ewe skielik, sê Len, het die man in die linkerbaan sy flikkerlig aangesit en reg voor hom ingeswaai met die idee om regs in Songozwistraat te draai. “Ek het probeer uitswaai, maar ek kon nie te veel uitswaai nie, anders was ek in die gebou oorkant die straat vas,” sê Len. Die man in die silwer Corolla het egter met spoed Len se voertuig links agter getref. “Die gravitasie van die slag het my kar geswaai en toe rol die kar een of twee keer … ek kan regtig nie onthou nie. Die kar het uiteindelik op sy dak te lande gekom voor die Capitec Bank gebou,” sê Len. Gelukkig, sê Len, het hy sy sitplekgordel aangehad en het hy nie seer gekry nie. Tog moes omstanders sy deur oop forseer om hom uit te kry. Sy voertuig, soos met die vorige ongeluk in Oktober, moes egter afgeskryf word. Uit die aard

van die saak, sê Len, was sy lyf Sondag maar bietjie styf.

Vir Len was sy twee motorongeluk in vier maande in Louis Trichardt se strate weereens ‘n bewys van presies hoe roekeloos plaaslike bestuurders optree. Volgens Len het die bestuurder van die ander voertuig ná die tyd vir die polisie gesê hy het net vergeet om vir ander voertuie te kyk voordat hy besluit het om te draai. Sy voertuig is ook redelik beskadig. “Weereens ‘n motoris wat van die linkerkant af regs voor jou indraai sonder om te kyk. Ek meen, ek kon lelik seer gekry het in hierdie een!” sê Len. Dit gesê, het Len wel baie seer gekry in sy ongeluk verlede jaar. Buiten vir beserings aan sy kop en regterskouer, het Len ook ses ribbes in die ongeluk gebreek het. Hy het net herstel van hierdie beserings, toe Saterdag se ongeluk plaasgevind het.

“Wat my baie kwaad maak, en ek het dit verlede jaar ook gesê, is die mense in die dorp wat nie by stopstrate stop nie en ry soos hulle wil. Ek het dit menige maal weer beleef ná my ongeluk verlede jaar. Ek kan nie vir jou sê hoe wens ek Louis Trichardt se owerhede moet net bykom nie. So het ek al hoeveel keer rapporteer dat niemand stop by die Forestryweg/ Barnardstraat kruising nie. Iemand gaan nog lelik seerkry daar,” sê Len. So het Len ook genoem van die verkeersirkel op die N1 in Stubbsstraat. “Niemand stop nie. Almal ry net aan. Nou die dag het ‘n trok amper daar in my vasgery, want hy het net nie gestop nie,” sê Len. So, wat is die oplossing?

“Ek wens so die verkeerspolisie wil daadwerkliks iets doen,” sê Len. In stede daarvan tref mens die dorp se verkeerspolisie in stil strate aan waar hulle mense aftrek oor veiligheidsgordels.

“Ek meen, kom aan! Duidelik is hulle prioriteite nie ons prioriteite nie,” sê Len.

“Ek meen, kom aan!

Duidelik is hulle prioriteite nie ons prioriteite nie.”

Zoutpansberger Politieke woelinge was weer voorblad­ nuus gewees vir die Zoutpansberger van 28 Februarie 1997. Hierdie keer het die inwoners van Sinthumule, Kutama, Vlei­ fontein en Tshikota se weiering om hulle maandelikse heffings te betaal opspraak gemaak.

Die kwessie rondom die voortdurende versuim van mense in hierdie woonareas om hulle maandelikse heffings van R10 te betaal het weer warm debat tydens ‘n raadsvergade­ ring van die Groter Louis Trichardt Oor­ gangsraad veroorsaak. Rdl. Louis Holtzhau­ sen het tydens die vergadering genoem dat slegs sowat 2% van Tshikota se mense vir dienste betaal, terwyl Sinthumule en Kutama tussen 2% en 4% betaal. Vleifontein se inwoners, met ‘n persentasie van 10%, was die “beste” betalers. Tydens die raadsvergadering is die kapteins van Sinthumule en Kutama openlik daarvan beskuldig dat hulle nie hulle deel doen om die Masakhane­veldtog veldtog (om mense aan te spoor om vir dienste te betaal) ondersteun nie. Beide Kaptein Sin­ thumule en Kaptein Kutama het gesê dat hulle dit wel doen, waarop rdl.

Norman Mabila aangevoer het dat dit moeilik is om mense te oortuig om vir dienste te betaal wat hulle nie in hulle omgewing ontvang nie.

Haar bakkie is teruggekry, maar nie alvorens die boef teen ‘n boom vasgejaag het. Nog ‘n hoofberig het gehandel oor ‘n man wat “te vriendelik” met ‘n bok was, asook ‘n berig van ‘n vrou wat haarself in Kroghstraat wou skiet. Lede van die publiek het die luidrugtige vrou in die straat opge­ merk met ‘n rewolwer. Die polisie is ontbied.

Sy het toe reeds ‘n skoot afgevuur, die rewol­ wer onder haar ken gedruk en gewaarsku dat sy haarself sou skiet as die polisie naderkom.

Sy het nog ‘n skoot afgevuur, waarna die polisie die vrou tot bedaring gebring en die rewolwer afgevat het.

Wat sy mees onlangse ongeluk betref, sê Len hy is baie dankbaar hy met sy lewe daarvan afgekom. “Dit lyk vir my ek moet maar hierdie hoofstraat vermy. Ek weet nie of hierdie straat vir my ge-jinx is nie,” het hy in ligte luim opgemerk.

Suspected armed robber killed during shoot-out

By Bernard Chiguvare Four Zimbabwean men were arrested on charges of murder, attempted murder and possession of illegal firearms, following a shoot-out with the police at Matswale Phase 8 Township on the outskirts of Musina last week.

On Tuesday, 22 February, Musina police received information about a gang of armed men who were allegedly terrorising communities around Musina Town with robberies and other crimes, and a task team was immediately assembled to conduct a snap search. When the police arrived at the identified location, a man believed to be one of the suspected group of robbers allegedly started shooting at the police, who returned fire and fatally wounded him. He was identified as Prince Dube from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Further probing led the team to another one of Dube’s accomplices, who was apprehended on the same day, while three more suspects were arrested the following day (23 February). Five illegal firearms were recovered during the police’s search. The firearms were subjected to ballistic examination to determine if they had been used in other serious crimes.

The suspects have been positively linked to house robberies committed in April, July and September of 2021, as well as armed robberies committed in July, November and December of 2021, all in the Musina policing precinct.

Allan Mujokoro (29) from Harare, Archibald Dzirovi (28) from Chiredzi, Talent Chada (25) from Masvingo, and Tinashe Mugwagwa (28) from Harare – all Zimbabwean citizens - appeared in the Musina Magistrate’s Court on 24 February. They were all remanded in custody until 3 March 2022 for profiling.

Twee lede van Bergcare op Louis Trichardt, bestuurder Mariana Luus en maatskaplike werker Eldine Peli, het op 23 Februarie die Helpende Kerk Kongres by die Lariba Hotel in Centurion bygewoon. Dit was ‘n baie opbouende kongres vir beide, met Mariana wat genoem het dat Bergcare se fokus soortgelyk is aan Solidariteit se Helpende Hand fokus.

Dit kan die beste beskryf word in die woord van Gert Erasmus, Helpende Hand-Program­ ontwikkeling, wat gesê het: “Ons fokus as Christelike, maatskaplike instellings is nie om die kerk se werk oor te neem nie, maar om op die breë gemeenskapsvlak met kerke saam te werk. Gemeenskapsontwikkeling is vir ons nommer een. Dit is ons roeping, en dit is wat ons prakties uitleef tot eer van God. Ons word geroep om buite die kerkmure ‘kerk te wees’ in ons gemeenskappe.” Die sessies wat Eldine bygewoon het, het ingesluit Die Kerk en Bejaarde Tehuise en Die Kerk en Maatskaplike Organisasies. Mariana het die sessies Die Kerk en Gesinne en Die Kerk en die Toekoms bygewoon. “Hou Bergcare dop vir nuwe projekte,” het Mariana ná afloop van die kongres gesê. Afgeneem tydens die kongres is, van links na regs, Mariana Luus, Eldine Peli en Hannes Noëth, uitvoerende hoof van Solidariteit Helpende Hand. Foto verskaf.

OPKOMEND

4 March Friday

Sponsor’s Evening & Art Exhibition The IsAbility Sport Club in Louis Trichardt will be hosting their annual sponsors’ function on 4 March, which will coincide with an art exhibition, in the Emmanuel Christian School hall this year.

The art exhibition in the afternoon will feature work from local artists, and a school art competition with the theme “Hope and/ or Embracing Ability”. R500 first-prize money in each of the high school and primary school categories and R200 each for the second-prize winners will be up for grabs.

The artists who will be exhibiting are Inari de Vaal, Liana Duvenhage, Carel Kilian, Painted Horse Fine Prints, Dee Fourie, Angela Versari, Tsonga Textiles, Benji’s Art and Louise Lordan Framing. The exhibition will also feature a photographic canvas display of inspiring photos of athletes with disabilities done by a physiotherapist.

The exhibition will take place from 14:30 to 16:30. Entrance is R10 per adult and free for school children.

The sponsors’ function that evening starts at 18:00 and costs R200 per person. The guest speaker is Arnu Fourie, a single-leg amputee who was signed to play for the Golden Lions in 2004, but lost his leg in a boating accident. Apparently, when he woke up the next morning after the amputation, the first thing someone said to him was what the world record for the 100-metre sprint was in the World Para-athletics in the T44 class (which would become his classification).

So, Arnu embarked on an athletics career and, apart from a number of other world records and medals, he achieved gold and bronze at the 2012 London Paralympics.

He is the financial director at IMPower (a solar-power and energy-construction and project-management company in the Cape) and a Jumping Kids sponsor.

Reptcare in Louis Trichardt will be hosting their first ever Snake-Awareness Day on 6 March with the aim of highlighting the organisation’s activities. The day’s events include three snake shows.

All activities, which include food stalls, games and even a beer tent, will take place at 33 Klein Street (Plantzone) from 10:00 until 18:00. The snake shows will start at 11:00, 14:00 and 16:00 respectively at a cost of R25 per person per show.

The organization aims to sell at least 300 tickets in aid of its day-to-day activities, which include snake rescues. Those brave enough can also have their photo taken with a snake for R20 each.

The snakes will range from non-venomous to venomous.

According to Reptcare’s Jan “Slang” van Rooyen, their aim is to make the snake-awareness day an annual event. During this first gathering, interested persons can also book one of several courses, which include a snake removal course at R750, a basic snake-handling course at R950 and an advanced snake-handling course at R1 200. People can also book one of the local snake catchers for a snake-awareness talk.

Donations on the day will be welcome, in aid of Blouberg Animal Clinic and the local SPCA, who assist Reptcare immensely during rescues.

There will also be a strongman presentation and demonstration by local strongman Leon le Roux and Paul’s Body Shop.

Thea se wenfoto het oog gevang Kompetisie

Thea de Waal se wenfoto vir Februarie. Sy het hierdie foto van ‘n luiperd naby die Shingwedzi ruskamp in die Kruger Nasionale Park met haar Nikon D850 geneem. Die lens afstand (focal length) was 400mm met ‘n lensopening van F6.3 en sluiterspoed van 1/640 van ‘n sekonde met ‘n filmspoed van 400 ASA.

Fotokompetisie

2022

Skryf nou in!

Spesiale vermelding: Januarie se wenner, Len Dames, se foto van die Limpopo Vallei met ‘n donderstorm in die agtergrond was onder die top drie foto’s vir finale beoordeling vir Februarie. Die kamera wat hy gebruik het was ‘n Canon 6D met 24mm lens op F22 met ‘n sluiterspoed van 1/125 van ‘n sekonde en ‘n filmspoed van 1 600 ASA.

Dat Februarie iets van die verlede is en die tyd dus ook gekom het om ‘n wenner aan te wys vir dié maand se wenfoto as deel van die Zoutpansberger se kalenderfotokompetisie, is moeilik om te glo.

Soos met Januarie, het Februarie ‘n hele paar uitstekende inskrywings opgelewer, maar ongelukkig kan net een wenner per maand aangewys word.

Februarie se weninskrywing het gekom van fotograaf Thea de Waal. Die foto was van ‘n luiperd wat sy met haar Nikon D850 naby die Shingwedzi ruskamp in die Kruger Nasionale Park afgeneem het. Die komposisie en skerpheid van die foto het onmiddellik die oog gevang, bui­ ten die feit dat die foto homself leen tot ‘n goeie kalenderfoto. Vir haar moeite ontvang Thea R600 in prysgeld. Baie geluk, Thea!

Anders as in die verlede kan die streek se fotograwe vanjaar regdeur die jaar vir die koerant se kalenderfotokompetisie inskryf. Die inskrywings vir Maart is reeds oop. Fotograwe sal tot en met die laaste week van elke maand hulle foto’s vir daardie maand kan inskryf en ‘n wenfoto sal vir elk van die 12 maande gekies word. ‘n Maksimum van vyf foto’s per fotograaf per maand kan ingestuur word, maar fotograwe kan vir meer as een maand inskryf. Oudergewoonte soek ons na daardie spesiale foto wat die uniekheid van die Soutpansberg-streek uitbeeld, van unieke landmerke en besienswaardighede tot die natuurlewe. Die foto moet egter binne die afgelope 24 maande geneem gewees het en moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees. ‘n Prys van R600 sal vir elke maand se wenfoto betaal word. Elke maand se wenfoto sal in die eerste week van die daaropvolgende maand se Zoutpansberger gepubliseer word.

Slegs hoë-resolusie digitale foto’s (verkieslik landskap-formaat) sal aanvaar word. Die foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos (een vir een, indien nodig) gestuur word, of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt. Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is. Selfoonfoto’s is ook toelaatbaar indien die foon oor ‘n goeie kamera beskik.

Die 12 wenfoto’s sal aan die einde van die jaar in ‘n groot-formaat muurkalender vir 2023 saamgevat word. Die kalender sal dan onder meer deur die Zoutpansberger gebruik word vir bemarkingsdoeleindes.

Vir meer inligting oor die kompetisie, skakel Andries by tel. 082 603 2419 of 015 516 4997 (tydens kantoorure). Hoë-resolusie foto’s kan ook aan hom gestuur word per e-pos na news@ zoutnet.co.za.

R600 prysgeld vir elke maand se wenfoto!

Die twaalf wenfoto’s sal aan die einde van die jaar in ‘n groot-formaat muurkalender vir 2023 saamgevat word.

Hoe om in te skryf: Foto’s kan in hoë resolusie per e-pos gestuur word, of op CD of geheuestokkie ingehandig word by die kantore van die Zoutpansberger te Joubertstraat 16B in Louis Trichardt. Elke inskrywing moet vergesel wees van die fotograaf se naam, kontakbesonderhede, waar die foto geneem is en met watter kamera dit geneem is. Alle inskrywings moet die fotograaf se eie werk wees.

Epos inskrywings na: news@zoutnet.co.za Skakel Andries van Zyl: 082 603 2419 / 015 516 4996

Spesiale vermelding: Soos verlede maand het Sigrid Jefferies weereens ‘n pragfoto ingestuur.

Die foto van haar was onder die top drie vir finale beoordeling. Sy het hierdie pragtige foto van Hanglip op 26 Februarie geneem met haar Canon EOS 80D met 10-18mm lens. Die lensope­ ning was F20 teen 1/250 van ‘n sekonde met ‘n filmspoed van 400 ASA.

Musina Municipality has warned service providers to be wary of scams involving tenders that are currently doing the rounds on social media.

The latest scam is apparently advertised as tender number 02-2020/22 for the construction of the Lesley Manyathela Stadium. The scammer/s pretend to be a Mr TM Mthombeni from Musina Municipality with the following message: “Kindly contact me regarding the above-mentioned bid in the subject description contractor of the construction of Lesley Manyathela Stadium on the following number 063 546 5512”.

Musina’s municipal manager, Mr Nathi Tshiwanammbi, urged service providers to familiarise themselves with how government institutions procure goods and services. He said that these tender scams had the potential to rob innocent people of their money. “The municipality keeps on getting telephone calls from service providers who want to verify the legitimacy of these tenders. When we investigate, we find that they are nothing but scams,” he said. Tshiwanammbi advised people to be very careful, as it sometimes happens that fraudsters use what appears to be government stationery with fictitious logos and contact details for services. “As government, we work hard at preventing and fighting fraud, but criminal activity is always a risk. We warn service providers that, when they receive tender requests and are unsure about their legitimacy, it is always wise to give the municipality a call or come personally to our offices to verify.

The tender process is managed through the supply-chain management (SCM) system of the municipality and not by an individual who goes around calling people,” he said.

Inter trots vir Triegies!

Deur Karla van Zyl Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se deelname aan vanjaar se Interhoër, wat op Vrydag 25 Februarie by Hoërskool Pietersburg aangebied was, is definitief een vir die boeke, met die skool wat altesaam spog met 18 eerste plekke, 16 tweede plekke en 26 derde plekke.

Ná die eerste paar items wat plaasgevind het, het Triegies hulself in die vierde plek bevind, net agter Hoërskool Tom Naudé.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het ook ‘n derde plek ingepalm in die afdeling vir die Prestasiebeker, met Pietersburg Hoërskool in

die tweede plek en Hoërskool Tom Naudé in die eerste plek. Triegies se atlete het onder andere teen die volgende hoërskole deelgeneem: Eric Louw, Merensky, Frans du Toit, Northern Academy, Tom Naude en PHS.
