Zena kry nuwe hart en wonderwerk, as ‘n nuwe hart vir die 48-jarige Zena Lambrechts nie.

In die Soutpansberg is daar bitter Vir ‘n familie van Louis Trichardt min mense wat nie vir die spranis daar geen groter Kersgeskenk,

kelende Zena ken nie, veral in die gasvryheidsbedryf, van haar jare by Khoroni Hotel, Adam’s Apple Hotel en deesdae van Zena’s Cantina by Kennington Lodge.

In dieselfde asem was min mense egter bewus van hoe siek Zena die afgelope paar maande was, so siek dat medici verlede week vir die ergste gevrees het, sou sy nie dadelik ‘n hart- en longoorplanting kry nie.

Zena het sowat twee maande gelede ‘n geruime tyd in die hospitaal in Polokwane spandeer vanweë probleme met ‘n vergrote hart, omdat haar hart die heeltyd so hard moes werk. Sy het sewe jaar gelede haar eerste hartaanval gehad, met ‘n hele klompie daarna wat haar met net 23% hartgebruik gelaat het. Om haar hart te help, is sy toegerus met ‘n pasaangeër.

Met haar opname in Polokwane was haar toestand reeds “touch and go” gewees. Sy kon egter tot so ‘n mate herstel dat sy ontslaan kon word en haar oudste dogter, Sky, se matriekafskeid by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt kon bywoon. Haar jongste dogter, Li-amor, het vanjaar Graad 10 geskryf by die skool.

Alles het goed gelyk en Sky en Li-amor was bly om hulle ma weer by die huis te hê. Die geluk was egter van korte duur.

Sowat twee/drie weke gelede moes Zena weer vanweë haar hartprobleem gehospitaliseer word. Sedertdien het haar gesondheid net bly agteruit, tot so ‘n mate dat Zena se gewese man (en ‘n steeds goeie vriend van haar) Billy besluit het dat dit beter sou wees om vir Sky and Li-amor na hul ma toe te vat. “Dit lyk nie goed nie,” het ‘n bekommerde Billy verlede ‘n Kersfees wonderwerk ... Die 48-jarige Zena Lambrechts van Louis Dinsdag gesê.

Zena se operasie sou meer as sewe ure duur, met familie en vriende wat angstig gewag het op nuus vanuit die teater.

Billy se dankbaarheid was merkbaar in ‘n WhatsApp-stemboodskap wat hy uitgestuur het kort nadat Zena uit die teater gestoot is. “Zena het half vier uitgekom.

Haar nuwe hart klop! Dankie Here!”

Dat Zena se liggaam so gou die nuwe hart aanvaar het, was nie die enigste goeie nuus nie. Billy het Maandag gesê dat dit toe nie eers nodig was vir Zena om ‘n

Saterdagoggend het die Kersfees wonderwerk egter vir Zena-hulle begin plaasvind. “Zena het ‘n hart en long gekry. Ons sit nou by die hospitaal. Sy gaan agtuur in vir die oorplantings.

longoorplanting te kry nie. “Hulle kon die probleem met die long sommer op die operasietafel regmaak,” het Billy gesê.

Diegene wat vir Zena goed ken, weet sy is ‘n “vegter”. Hierdie veggees van haar het sy ook duidelik in die hospitaal geopenbaar. Ná die operasie het die medici haar in ‘n koma geplaas waarin sy 48 uur moes bly. Zena het egter ná slegs 24 uur self uit die koma gekom. “Sy het vir ons die thumbs up gegee van agter die glasskeiding waar sy in die kiemvrye afdeling van die hospitaal lê. Sy het sommer ook die verpleegsters uitgetrap oor sy nie haar familie mag sien nie,” het Billy met ‘n glimlag gesê. Hy het egter bygevoeg dat hy kan verstaan waarom hulle Zena in afsondering hou. ‘n Kiem of virus kan in hierdie stadium noodlottige gevolge vir Zena inhou.

Billy het Woensdagmiddag laat weet dat alles tot dusver nog baie goed lyk met Zena. “Soos dinge nou lyk, sal Zena teen Vrydag al kontakbesoeke kan kry,” het Billy gesê.

Billy het namens sy kinders en familie almal bedank vir hulle bystand en ondersteuning met Zena se siekte en operasie. Hy het veral ‘n spesiale woord van dank gerig aan Zena se broer, Keith McGuire, wat vir Zena beide ‘n emosionele en finansiële steunpilaar is met haar siekte en operasie.

Hy het ook vir Brian du Plooy en sy vrou Mariska bedank vir alles wat hulle vir die familie vanaf Louis Trichardt doen.

Uit respek vir die familie van die plaaslike hartskenker het Billy gevra dat die koerant nie enige verwysing gee van waar en deur wie die hartoorplanting uitgevoer is nie. “Daardie familie verwerk nog hierdie week die hartseer daarvan om ‘n geliefde te verloor,” het Billy gesê.

the Minister of Social Development, Bathabile Dlamini, want all forms of corporal punishment in the home banished completely. The Justices present were concerned about the difficulty of being able to differentiate between reasonable chastisement and violence. The ConCourt ruling will now wait for a decision one way or another in 2019. This time next year, spanking their own children could be completely illegal for parents, and some parents are concerned that this could lead to junior monsters.

The Zoutpansberger asked for input from residents on this hot topic – to smack or not smack your children. Two completely opposing and firmly entrenched groups exist in South Africa regarding what is wrong or right when it comes to spanking your own children, or even whether doing so or not is anyone other than the parents’ business.

Ooreenkoms oor prys van skooldrag Skolenuus

‘n Gesamentlike werkskomitee tussen die Fede­ rasie van Beheerliggame van Suid-Afrikaanse Skole (FEDSAS) en die Mededingingskommissie is gevestig in ‘n poging om anti-mededingende praktyke met die voorsiening van skooluniforms en ander items te bekamp.

“Dit volg ná ‘n ondersoek deur die Mededingingskommissie, nadat klagtes van ouers en verskaffers van skooluniforms ontvang is. Ouers het gekla dat hul opsies vir die aankoop van uniforms deur skole beperk word en dat hulle gevolglik duur betaal vir uniforms en ander skoolitems. Verskaffers van uniforms het weer gekla dat eksklusiewe kontrakte tussen skole en bepaalde verskaffers dit onmoontlik maak vir nuwe verskaffers om tot die mark toe te tree,” het FEDSAS in ‘n mediaverklaring verlede week gesê.

Die adjunkhoof van FEDSAS, dr. Jaco Deacon, het die ooreenkoms as ‘n mylpaal beskryf. Hy het gesê dat skoolbeheerliggame verskaffingsoor­ eenkomste of kontrakte met diensverskaffers mag aangaan, maar dat hierdie ooreenkomste aan die Mededingingswet onderhewig is. “Voorraad mag byvoorbeeld eksklusief verskaf word deur ‘n

skoolklerewinkel of ’n vervaardiger wat aan een of meer plaaslike handelaars verskaf. Die koste van die uniform mag egter nie ’n onbekostigbare finansiële las op ouers plaas nie,” het Deacon in die verklaring gesê.

FEDSAS fokus op die ontwikkeling van vaardige skoolbeheerliggame en gevolglik maak raad aan beheerliggame oor die aankoop van goedere en dienste deel uit van FEDSAS se funksies. Teen hierdie agtergrond het FEDSAS en die Mededing­ ingskommissie ’n memorandum van ooreenkoms aangegaan, wat op 23 November 2018 in die Staatskoerant gepubliseer is. ‘n Regsbeampte van FEDSAS, me. Juané van der Merwe, sê in terme van die memorandum van ooreenkoms kom FEDSAS en die Kommissie ooreen om mekaar by te staan en te ondersteun en om mekaar in te lig van optrede wat indruis teen die beginsels van die Mededingingswet en wat ouers kan benadeel. “FEDSAS sal die Kommissie bystaan met ondersoeke waar lidskole betrokke is.

Ons provinsiale en nasionale strukture stel ons ook in staat om opleiding en onafhanklike regsadvies aan ons lede te verskaf. Op dié manier kan ons beheerliggame help om hul funksies uit te voer sonder om die wet te oortree,” het Deacon gesê.

After load shedding returned to Louis Trichardt with a vengeance this week, residents are wondering what is happening with Eskom, as well as having some difficulty figuring out the online schedules.

When Eskom’s acting chief operating officer Jan Oberholzer recently informed the portfolio committee on public enterprises in Parliament that no reason existed for load shedding in the near future if supplies and consumption were controlled, people assumed that this meant that the problem would be a temporary one. At the time, Oberholzer said that the latest incidences of load shedding were due to the hot weather, in addition to shortages of fuel and water.

Unfortunately, after the announcement of the interim results for Eskom’s 2018/19 financial year on 28 November, the power situation in South Africa is looking somewhat unhealthy. Eskom’s board chairman, Mr Jabu Mabuza, said that Eskom had seen a steady decline in generation plant performance and coal stock levels that were threatening their ability to keep the lights on.

Arrear municipal debt had climbed 25% from R13.6 billion to R17 billion in the six months between 31 March and 31 September. Mabuza said that they would continue with their clean-up campaign that has so far seen 14 executives leaving as well as criminal proceedings being instituted when relevant. Irregular supplier contracts worth R2.3 billion have been uncovered and reported to the authorities, and various investigations are underway, with additional disciplinary cases being undertaken as more acts of mismanagement and impropriety are uncovered.

Mabuza said that Eskom was in a state of severe financial difficulty and that the way it was operating was not sustainable because it was locked into a permanent loss-making position. “We are not selling enough electricity and not at prices that recover our costs throughout the value chain. We are not collecting all that we have sold. But against this, we are spending more and having to borrow more at higher costs to repay what we previously

borrowed and cannot afford to repay from our declining profits,” said Mabuza.

Eskom spokesperson Khulu Phasiwe called the situation “dire”, even though Eskom said that the load shedding should ease after 16 December. This situation is not going to be fixed overnight, and so residents should be prepared for load shedding and possible price increases.

Ted Blom of the Energy Expert Coalition said in a radio interview on Tuesday that Eskom was in this untenable situation mainly because of mismanagement and corruption. He said that they could currently not access enough quality coal and the very poor variety that they were using at present tended to cause explosions as it had rocks in it, thereby damaging plants. He said that in his role as billing service advisor he had uncovered “fictitious billing” from Eskom of R230 000 for one month’s bill to a farmer - one of many such fictitious bills he was dealing with. He said that these made-up bills were only one of many of the problems with Eskom, in addition to the current low quality of their coal and the incompetent board. He did not hold out much hope for their recovery.

Load shedding is announced daily via media outlets, such as radio and television news. Residents can also look online at the Eskom Load Shedding website. The online schedule for Makhado lists the times of the various stages only if and when they are implemented. People are encouraged to find out what particular phase is in process each day, because the times on them are different, and when there is no load shedding announced for the day, the times on the schedules do not apply.

More jail time for seventh escapee Court News

The seventh and last prisoner to be re-arrested after escaping from the Kutama Sinthumule Maximum Security Prison in October 2017 was slapped with an additional four years onto his existing sentence by the Louis Trichardt Regional Court on 27 November.

The 31-year-old Raphael Nyota, a Zimbabwean national, had previously been convicted of murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.

The robbery conviction related to a violent home invasion when he and his fellow criminals broke down security doors one after another in a home in Louis Trichardt. They relentlessly tried to get to the homeowners, breaking down barriers in their way and forcing the terrified family into a slow retreat.

The victims ended up in a bathroom with a door that did not lock. At the point where they were sitting on the floor, trying to keep the door closed with their bodies, they finally saw the flashing blue light of a police vehicle outside. One of the homeowners shouted that the police had arrived, after which the invaders fled.

After being apprehended and finally incarcerated, Nyota attempted to flee and almost succeeded in escaping the serving out of the remainder of his 15year sentence. He broke out of prison with fellow inmates Chris Faku (38), Jabulani Isaac Mahlangu (33) from Pretoria, Ntshengedzeni Manukha (27) from Thohoyandou, Ntshavheni Thomas Munyai (31) from Riverside, Justice Makamo (29) from Zimbabwe and Phathutshedzo Nemadodzi (35) from Thohoyandou. All of them have since been caught and are once again serving out their full sentences. Nyota is the final of the seven to be taken back into custody after being apprehended near the Ivory Park taxi rank in Gauteng on 7 September.

At the time of their escape from Kutama Sinthumule, the Zoutpansberger reported that the wardens had been neglecting their duties because of a pension-fund dispute with South African Custodial Management (SACM). Following a dramatic eruption of violence at the prison after a group of

prisoners initially set fire to some mattresses, inmates were out of control. In the chaos that ensued, the seven prisoners escaped easily.

Assistance had to be called for to help control the situation after the fire spread, destroying large parts of the facility. Firemen from the Makhado Air Force Base, local police and members of local farm watch groups all assisted at the time to regain order and secure the prison perimeter. The reimprisonment and sentencing of Nyota brings this particular drama to an end.

freedom of expression, a central tenet of democracy”. In his address, Msimang had cited several examples of democracy in South Africa when it worked and when it did not. He said that “while the EFF gained deserved popularity when it led what most people thought was a fight against corruption ... something went frightfully wrong.”

He lists rudeness, abusiveness, thuggery and bullying of journalists and others who disagree with the EFF as appearing to be their new modus operandi.

The attackers were all wearing the distinctive red of the EFF. However, the EFF distanced itself from what happened on Monday, with EFF Limpopo regional secretary Jossey Buthane stating that, just because people chose to wear any particular party’s T-shirts, that did not mean that they were members of that party. Also on Monday, the leader of the Democratic Alliance (DA) in Limpopo, Mr Jacques Smalle, addressed the media outside the Polokwane police station after laying charges against the EFF. “The DA has laid additional criminal charges against the EFF. The EFF have continually proved to be violent and destructive constitutional delinquents that have abused the right to freedom of expression as set out in Section 16 of the Constitution. Despite the South African Police having the car used to transport the hooligans in custody and the details of the car owner, no arrests have been made. We demand that an arrest be made in this case,” Smalle said.

Charges added by the DA were malicious damage to property estimating the damage done to the Vodacom store in Polokwane alone at R500 000, and charges of accessory to a crime for the owner of the vehicle used.

The Louis Trichardt Vodacom franchise shop was open for business as usual on Tuesday, with clearly traumatised staff

Management and staff, however, had no comment for the newspaper.

Finalising the matter later in the day, Vodacom and the EFF issued a joint statement, stating that the two parties had met the previous day to discuss the comments and slides presented at the Vodacom ceremony and the subsequent unrest. Part of the statement reads “…in the meeting, the parties discussed the matter in detail and have resolved the issue.

As for the property rates blunder, the municipality explained that it was caused by “technical problems” when they uploaded the new 2018 valuation roll onto their system. The new valuation roll came into effect on 1 July this year. As promised by the municipality, local taxpayers, or at least the 9 472 of them who were not billed for property rates since July this year, received a nasty surprise on their November account – a single account for the whole outstanding amount in property rates. For many, the arrears totalled thousands, which will

definitely make Christmas a bit less festive this year for those affected. The municipality did, however, say that local taxpayers could make arrangements for paying off their outstanding debt.

What was apparent was that a lot of people do not look at their monthly accounts, although many people actually do. They were the ones who spotted another discrepancy on their November account.

The municipality has apparently calculated residents’ monthly property rates over an 11-month period and not a 12-month period. One resident

Soutpansberg se Suster Marie oorlede In Memoriam

‘n Roudiens sal eerskomende Vrydag gehou word vir die welbekende me. Marie Malan van Louis Trichardt wat op Woensdag, 28 November, in die ouderdom van 77 jaar in Ons Tuiste Ouetehuis se siekeboeg oorlede is.

“Haar gesondheid het die afgelope drie of vier maande geweldig agteruitgegaan ná etlike beroer­ tes,” het haar dogter Elmarie gesê. Baie van die dorp se ouer garde sal haar ma onthou as Suster Marie van die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal, waar sy sowat 17 jaar werksaam was.

Marie is op Kersdag 1940 in Mosselbaai gebore.

“Ons het so gehoop ons sal darem nog een Kersfees saam met haar haar verjaarsdag kon vier,” het Elmarie gesê.

As jongeling het Marie in die Jonkersberg bosbouplantasies grootgeword. Haar skoolloopbaan

het sy op George voltooi.

Ná skool het Marie vir drie jaar verpleegstersop­ leiding gedoen, eers in George en toe in die Paarl.

Sy het ook een jaar se kraamopleiding voltooi by die Karl Bremmer Hospitaal in Belville.

Marie is in 1967 getroud met haar man Johan, wat in die spoorweë was. In 1972 is hy verplaas na Waterpoort, waar Marie gehelp het met die admini­ strasie. Vandaar is die egpaar na Matjiesfontein in Januarie 1975, maar skaars ses maande later is Johan verplaas na die destydse Nylstroom. Hier het Marie weer begin verpleeg.

Aan die einde van 1975 het Marie-hulle weer teruggekeer na Louis Trichardt en in Januarie 1976 het sy by die Louis Trichardt Gedenkhospitaal begin werk. Hier was sy ‘n bekende gesig tot in 1993, toe Marie besluit het om af te tree as gevolg van haar gesondheid.

Sedert haar aftrede het Marie haar hoofsaaklik

besig gehou met tuisverpleging. Vir die afgelope 14 jaar was sy ‘n inwoner van Laat Lente, tot haar gesondheid die kinders genoop het om haar ‘n paar maande gelede in Ons Tuiste se siekeboeg te laat opneem.

“Ons as familie wil net baie dankie sê aan die personeel van Ons Tuiste se siekeboeg, asook al die mediese personeel wat haar tot die einde bygestaan het. Dankie ook aan al die familie, vriende en kennisse vir die bystand en woorde van vertroosting,” het Elmarie gesê. ‘n Roudiens vir wyle Marie vind eerskomende Vrydag, 7 Desember, om 11:00 vanuit die Veritas Gemeenskapskerk in Groblerstraat, Louis Trichardt, plaas. Die diens sal waargeneem word deur dr. Philip Venter.

Wyle Marie word oorleef deur haar kinders Elmarie en seun André, skoonseun Christo Coetzee, en kleinkinders Christel, Alessia en Janco.

Please don’t give pets as presents urges local SPCA

By Jo Robinson

The Louis Trichardt SPCA has urged residents not to give people pets as presents this Christmas.

According to the local SPCA, the weeks following Christmas, with March being one of their busiest months, many animals are either surrendered to the SPCA or simply abandoned. This week the SPCA’s Alicia Thomas is reminding people that pets are more than presents. “Pets given as gifts are done so with good intentions, but mostly giving pets as gifts is a bad idea,” said Alicia.

Alicia said that people who gave animals as gifts meant well, but their good intensions often misfired. “Giving a pet as a gift is usually an ill-advised decision that can end tragically. While it is true that pets bring us untold joy and wonderful companionship, they are a huge responsibility. People who receive a pet as a gift don’t pay, but the gift is hardly free. It means a long-term commitment of time, money and energy that may exceed their abilities,” said Alicia.

Among the costs of keeping a pet are food, bedding and toys, veterinary care, grooming expenses, the cost of time to exercise, play with and train the animal. Alicia said that some people did not want a pet at all, or perhaps did not want one now. “For those who are ready, it is crucial that he or she pick a pet out for herself to make sure it’s a good fit. A poor fit can mean the animal is sent to a shelter or another home, which is hard on the pet and on the person who received the animal as a gift. Some pets suffer loneliness and neglect when their novelty has worn off,” said Alicia.

A successful adoption requires time and thought, said Alicia. “Like a lot of gifts, animals can be impulse purchases. Pet adoption is more successful when you meet a few animals before finding the right match. Ideally, adopters should research to learn what traits they want before visiting a shelter or purchasing a pet from a shop or a breeder, before making the important decision of choosing a pet. So, please remember - pets don’t make good presents!” said Alicia.

DON’T GO OVERBOARD WHEN LOADING. Our country’s roads are used by almost everyone on a daily basis.

Overloading your trailer, taxi or truck and exceeding the maximum height of goods on any vehicle not only causes damage to our road network and bridges, but it also contributes to the serious problem of maintaining road safety in our country.

At SANRAL, we believe it is important for you, as a motorist, to know the capacity of your vehicle. It goes a long way in getting the best from it and more importantly, out of South Africa’s road network. In the interests of other roads users, your business and our road network, please do not overload.

SANRAL. Beyond roads.

MAKHADO CARE GROUP IS A NON PROFIT ORGANISATION WHICH ASSISTS WITH THE CARE OF CANCER PATIENTS IN THE MAKHADO AREA The Makhado Care Group NPC is a local non-profit organisation completely focused on assisting cancer patients in the greater Louis Trichardt area. They source money through donations and fundraisers and use the funds that they raise to look after local cancer patients. They believe that money donated in Louis Trichardt should be spent in Louis Trichardt.

Help is strictly for cancer patients and their families, and it is strictly limited to this area with no exceptions – only cancer patients and only local patients and donations.

The group comprises of Angela Brennan (finance), Zaheera Omar

(director), Pam Schoeman (finance), Dr Emil Gaigher (director), Dr Casper Venter (director), Jernay McLeod and Yvette Gaigher, all of whom work on a volunteer basis.

They offer financial aid for cancer patients who need it, but in addition to that they also do home visits, offer emotional support, assist with organising nursing services and nursing care free of charge.

Thompson’s Motors supplies a vehicle as needed to the organisation which is used when patients need to go further afield to Pretoria or elsewhere for treatments or to see specialists. This car is for any urgent situation where transport is needed

to assist cancer patients living in this district.

Each person or family that apply for help are helped according to their specific needs, regardless of what those needs may be.

With two medical doctors in the group their physical needs are quickly assessed. Whether patients need finance, transport, hospital treatments or care, food, medication, nappies, emotional support - whatever they need the group will do their utmost to meet it. Medical equipment is kept on hand in a local storeroom and is immediately available to anyone who may need a wheelchair or other medical hardware straight away.

SMART LYFESTYLE CHOICES CAN ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE • HEALTHY EATING • REGULAR EXERCISE • NO SMOKING • SUN PROTECTION • REGULAR CHECKUPS

• CERVICAL CANCER is highly curable if discovered early enough which is why cervical (Pap) smears are so important to have done regularly. This particular cancer is directly linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is the most commonly sexually transmitted disease (STD) especially when there is or has been high-risk sexual behaviour by the individual or their partner at any prior point in time. Abnormal cervical changes rarely present with symptoms until cancer develops. Then symptoms can include unexplained changes in menstrual cycle, abnormal vaginal bleeding, bleeding on contact such as during sexual intercourse or insertion of a diaphragm, pain during intercourse, abnormal discharge containing mucous sometimes tinged with blood.

• BREAST CANCER The exact cause is unknown but the risk of it is higher if a member of your immediate family has it or has had it. Some women with breast cancer have genetic mutations of some genes while others do not have any risk factors. The most common signs of this cancer are lumps in the breasts or change in the size of shape of it. Advanced breast cancer may cause thickening in the breast or armpit. Early detection is done by mammogram, often before a lump can be felt. Other symptoms can include changes in the skin appearance of the breast, such as dimpling or an orange peel effect and changes in the nipple such as it turning inwards or having a discharge with or without bleeding.

THOMPSON’S MOTORS hand over a vehicle to Makhado Care Group at Louis Trichardt Primary School.

The Makhado Care Group directors from left to right: Dr Emil Gaigher, Yvette Gaigher, Pam Schoeman, Jernay McLeod and Dr. Casper Venter.

• PROSTATE CANCER The risk of this cancer increases with age. A family history of this cancer or breast cancer can increase the risk of contracting it. This cancer spreads to other nearby organs and also to bones. Prostate cancer may cause no signs or symptoms in its early stages, but once more advanced signs may include trouble urinating, decreased force in the stream of urine, blood in the semen, discomfort in the pelvic area, bone pain or erectile dysfunction.

• COLON CANCER is cancer of the large intestine (colon) which is the final part of your digestive tract. Many people with this cancer do not experience any symptoms in the early stages and when they do begin they will vary according to the size and situation of the tumour. Symptoms can include changes in bowel habits, including diarrhoea, constipation or changes in stool consistency that last longer than four weeks. Other symptoms include rectal bleeding or blood in stools, persistent abdominal discomfort such as cramps, gas or pain; a feeling that your bowel does not empty completely, weakness or fatigue as well as unexplained weight loss.

Letters

28 November 2018 - MAKHADO CARE GROUP I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the unsung volunteers of the Makhado Care Group who selflessly give of their time to support cancer sufferers in our town.

I was diagnosed with chronic lymph leukemia in 2011. I was very ill and spent many days in the Pretoria East Hospital. Once I was discharged, I had to return to Pretoria every two weeks for treatment. You can imagine the immense financial burden as I was unable to work for two years. Not only the medical expenses but also the transport costs soon began to escalate.

I was referred to the Makhado Care Group for support and they immediately came to my assistance. I will always be eternally grateful to these angels in disguise for their support during a very difficult period in my life. After seven years, I am cancer-free. I thank God for his mercy in sparing my life and the wonderful people he placed on my path to recovery. I also thank the Makhado Care Group for their financial support, assistance, kindness, visits, the interest they showed in my progress as well as their positive encouragement. I wish to thank you especially for the wonderful support that I received in 2011 and 2012 with regards to transport costs (petrol & toll gates) and medical expenses. You will never know the relief I experienced while lying in hospital, knowing that I was receiving financial assistance that would only have added to my great concerns, challenges and trauma that I was already experiencing with the illness and the chemo-therapy treatment.

I continue to visit the oncologist in Pretoria every three months for a check-up but the results are always very positive for which I am extremely grateful.

To all the people who give so generously to this worthy cause, a very big thank you.

I salute an exceptional team of people who give selflessly of themselves and who embody the true meaning of a willingness to help those in need.

Kind regards, Susan Adendorff

Moenie hierdie slangetjie se byt onderskat nie Omgewingsnuus

Die NG Kerk Soutpansberg-gemeente in Louis Trichardt het met die aanbreek van Desember hulle jaarlikse Kerssangdiens op Sondag, 2 Desember, gehou. Vanjaar se diens was egter bietjie meer spesiaal as vorige jare deurdat bekende Suid-Afrikaanse sanger Mathys Roets as gaskunstenaar opgetree het tydens die diens.

Afgeneem ná afloop van die diens is Mathys (regs) saam met die gemeente se leraar, ds.

“Die vrug van die Gees is liefde, blydskap, vrede, lankmoedigheid, vriendelikheid, goedheid, getrouheid, sagmoedigheid, selfbeheersing” - Galasiërs 5:22.

Die Grieke het die woord “sagmoedig” gebruik om ‘n ligte briesie, ‘n goedgeleerde perd of ‘n goeie kalmeermiddel te beskryf.

Krag onder beheer is produktief, maar buite beheer is dit net soos by bogenoemde dinge, uiters gevaarlik. Lees Spreuke 25:28.

In die Ou Testament kry net Moses die eretitel dat hy “…baie sagmoedig was, meer as al die mense op die aardbodem” (Numeri 12:3). In die Nuwe Testament is dit Jesus wat “sagmoedig en nederig van hart” is (Mattheus 11:29).

God belowe Hy sal die sagmoediges “met billikheid oordeel” (Jesaja 11:4), Sy blye boodskap aan die “ootmoediges” gee (Jesaja 61:1), hulle laat “eet en versadig word” (Psalm 22:27), en “vreugde op vreugde laat smaak in die Here” (Jesaja 29:19). God self sal hulle “lei in die reg … Sy weg leer” (Psalm 25:9), hulle sal “die aarde besit en hulle verlustig in groot vrede” (Psalm 37:11), vir hulle sal God “opstaan” om hulle te verlos (Psalm 76:10) en God sal hulle “ophef” en “verhoog” (Psalm 147:6).

Daar is ook ‘n heerlike belofte in Psalm 149:4: “Die Here het ‘n welbehae in Sy volk; Hy versier die ootmoediges met heil”.

TRIEGIE WINKEL WINKEL GELEË BY HOËRSKOOL LOUIS TRICHARDT

SKOOLDRAG VAN LAERSKOOL- EN HOËRSKOOL LOUIS TRICHARDT ASOOK LAERSKOOL SOUTPANSBERG

NOU OOP!

In hierdie week se artikel oor giftige en gevaarlike slange in die Soutpansberg kyk ons na die alombekende gewone nagadder (Causus rhombeatus).

“Alhoewel hierdie kleinerige slang, gemiddeld 60cm tot amper ‘n meter, matig giftig is, is ‘n byt van hierdie slang nie iets om ligtelik op te neem nie,” het plaaslike slangkenner en -vanger Jan “Slang” van Rooyen gesê.

Die gewone nagadder het ‘n sitotoksiese gif en die byt kan soms baie onaangenaam wees, aangesien hierdie slang ongelooflike groot gifkliere het wat tot in die nek strek. “Ernstige byte kan swelling, pyn en soms selfs plaaslike nekrose veroorsaak.

Alhoewel teengif werk teen die gif van die nagadder, is dit amper nooit so ernstig dat teengif nodig is nie,” het Van Rooyen gesê.

Van Rooyen het gesê die nagadder is in die algemeen ‘n baie rustige slang en sal eerder padgee as hy teëgekom word.

“As hulle vasgekeer word, of kwaad gemaak word, sal die slang sy lyf opblaas en woes sis en pik,” het Van Rooyen gesê.

Nagadders jag in die aande en vreet hoofsaaklik net paddas en skurwe paddas, maar sal ook bedags in die son lê en bak. Anders as ander adders het hierdie slang gladde skubbe en kan hulle maklik uitgeken word aan die

prominente V-vorm op die nek en kop. Die slang se lyfkleur is gewoonlik ligbruin tot grys.

“Wanneer hierdie slang teëgekom word, kan jy hom maar net met rus laat. Moet asseblief nie die slang probeer optel of hanteer net omdat hy baie rustig voorkom nie,” het Van Rooyen gesê.

Van Rooyen het inwoners uitgenooi om hom te skakel by tel.

081 217 9213 vir meer inligting oor die nagadder. Indien iemand ‘n probleem ondervind met ‘n slang op hul erf of in hul huis, kan Jan ook geskakel word, so

“Ons kan ook gekontak word ten opsigte van slangbyte,” het Jan gesê.

Van Rooyen het weereens inwoners versoek om nie sommer net slange voor die voet dood te maak nie, maar eerder om hulle uit te los of iemand te skakel om die slang te verwyder. “Baie, baie dankie aan almal wat ons kontak vir hulp met probleem slange en ook die foto’s wat ingestuur word vir uitkenning,” het Van Rooyen gesê.

Don’t forget the Jingle Bell Ride same order to collect the toys. The ride will start at 18:00 for 18:30 in the parking The Soutpansberg Cycling Club’s area at Makhado Crossing. “Bring your annual Jingle Bell Toy Ride will take family and friends and join in the festivplace on Friday, 7 December.

To take part in the ride, all cyclists have to do is bring along a soft toy as entry fee. “They must also remember to decorate their bikes to bring out the Christmas spirit. The use of Christmas lights is preferable and remember, no helmet, no ride,” said the cycling’s club’s Stanley Thompson.

The main aim of the ride is to both spread some Christmas cheer, as well as collect soft toys for less fortunate children. Prior to the ride, residents were invited to support the project by dropping off soft toys at each of the five participating businesses before 7 December, including Mike’s Kitchen, Thompson’s Motors, Mount Fuji Motors, Ocean Basket, the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital and Werda Motors. “At each of these businesses’ reception area will be a collection box in which residents can place the soft toys,” said Stanley.

On the night of the ride, cyclist will visit each of these businesses mentioned above in the Charity

ities,” invites the club. Back-up vehicles will be available. For more information, phone Chanel at Tel 083 263 9171 or write to her at chaneladl@gmail.com.
