STANDERTON – ANN7’s “Decide2, my vote my future” visited Standerton on Mon-day morning, 9 May, as part of their national fact finding mission about services delivery. The channel is going around the country with a crew of 55 journalists ahead of the local elections that wil take place on 3 Au-gust. Standerton is no exception.

The channel requested Cosmos News to lead the crew and make all necessary ar-rangements to get all political parties within Lekwa Municipality to take part in site visits and interview members of the community.

The news crew arrived at 08:30 and was taken on a tour of the town and its people by Cosmos News. We were accompanied by party representatives from the ANC, the DA, the EFF, and the Civic Voice. An in-formal sett lement in Extension 6 was the first destination. Residents opened up to the media about their situation of no electricity, water and sanitation. One resident reported that from 2008 she was living in the area, but nothing, except promises made, was done by the municipality to change their lives.

DA Councillor in Ward 6, Angel Khanyile, was the first to have an interview with the channel. She was then followed by the leader of the new kid on the block, the Civic Voice, Nicholas Selepe. Both members of the opposition did not hesitate to tear apart the ruling party regarding their unfulfilled promises. They then went on to present their respective strategies about how they will deliver to the community if voted into

power. The next destination was Extension 7, where the community expressed their anger about the water supply. A resident told the media that they have had no access to clean running water for five years. Gcina Mofokeng of the EFF also gave an interview.

The crew concluded the tour with an interview with the Executive Mayor of Lekwa Municipality, Council-lor Linda Dhlamini, at his offices.

He tabled the successes and challenges of the munici-

pality. He gave an in-depth plan of how the municipality in-

tends to overcome all the various service delivery chal-lenges, in order to make life better for citizens.

He appealed to the community to work together with the municipality to overcome theft of electricity cables, and urged everyone to pay for the services they do re-ceive. The tour to Lekwa Municipality will be upload-ed to ANN7’s YouTube channel. DM

A trench of leaking sewage spills over parts of Stand-erton taxi rank. The smell is unbearable and poses a health hazard to hundreds of people.

ERMELO - ‘n 42-jarige man, afkomstig van Mosambiek, is Sondagnag, 1 Mei, net buite Chrissiesmeer op die Ermelo-pad gearresteer nadat 52 kilogram heroine in sy besit gevind is. Inligting is ontvang dat die verdagte op pad was na Johannesburg nadat hy net voor 20:00 deur die Oshoek grenspos in ‘n Toyota Prado beweeg het.

Padblokkades is op die paaie na Chrissiesmeer, Carolina, Ermelo en ook op die N4-hoofweg gehou en om ongeveer 20:30 het die Chrissiesmeer polisie, bygestaan deur lede van die Mpumalanga Sekuriteitsgroep asook lede van die Chrissiesmeer Plaaswag die verdagte voertuig voorgekeer.

Die verdagte asook die voertuig is na die polisiestasie in Ermelo geneem waar heroine in ‘n langafstand-petroltenk ontdek is. Daar is later nog heroine in die spaarwiel ontdek. Die fonds, wat 52 kilogram weeg het ‘n geskatte straatwaarde van R52 miljoen en daar is ook beslag gelê op groot bedrae Amerikaanse dollars, Mosambiekse meticais en Suid-Afrikaanse rande. Die verdagte het Dinsdag, 3 Mei, in die Ermelo landdroshof verskyn en is nie gevra om te pleit op ‘n aanklag van onwettige besit van dwelms nie en is

in aanhouding gehou. Die saak is uitgestel tot Dinsdag, 10 Mei, en daar word vermoed dat daar dan ‘n amptelike borgaansoek ingedien sal word. JD

STANDERTON - Lekwa Local Municipality recently repaired a sewage leak on the corner of Charl Cilliers and Handel Streets close to the mosque in Standerton. This comes after the Municipality was placed on terms by AfriForum on 15 April to repair the sewage leak.

“We have reported the leak on various occasions to the Municipality, but to no avail. The necessary repairs were only done after we had directed a formal letter of demand to the Municipality,” said Eunice MacKenzie, Chairperson of AfriForum’s Standerton branch.

“It is not the responsibility of organisations such as AfriForum or individuals to place municipalities on terms to deliver basic services. Sewage spills can result in serious health risks to the community, and it is the tax payer’s constitutional right to demand a safer environment,” said Hillel Coetzer, AfriForum’s Regional Coordinator for Western Mpumalanga.

Intervention leads to repairs

After the Lekwa Local Municipality was placed on terms to repair a sewage leak and a formal letter of demand was written, this specific leak was repaired. This problem area was next to the Mosque in town, close to Standerton Bakery.

STANDERTON - Die Lekwa Plaaslike Munisi-paliteit in Standerton het op 28 April met die herstel van slaggate in die dorp begin. Dít volg nadat die plaaslike AfriForum-tak dié munisipaliteit reeds op 15 April op terme geplaas het om slaggate in die dorp te herstel.

“Hierdie slaggate hou ŉ gevaar vir motoriste in en kan lei tot die beskadiging van voertuie, motorbots-ings en noodlottige beserings. Dit is verblydend om te sien dat die Lekwa Plaaslike Munisipaliteit gehoor gegee het aan hierdie ultimatum,” het Hillel Coetzer, AfriForum se streekskoördineerder vir Mpumalan-ga-Wes, gesê.

“Hoewel daar nog verskeie diensleweringsprob-leme in Standerton is en slaggate voorkom in areas wat deur die Lekwa Munisipaliteit gediens word, verseker AfriForum met aksies soos dié dat die be-

lastingbetaler se geld korrek aangewend word.”Ondersteun AfriForum se slaggatherstelprojek wat

STANDERTON - Die leerlinge van CF Els Dans Studio het op 30 April en 1 Mei aan ‘n danskompetisie deelgeneem wat ten bate van die Suid-Afrikaanse fon-dasie vir mense met homofilie gehou is.

Dit is ‘n jaarlikse kompetisie wat naas die Suid-Af-rikaanse-kampioenskappe die tweede grootste kompe-tisie is wat deur Solo Danca Latina gehou word.

Vier leerlinge – Carina Maree, Beandri Claassens, Zoë Lecordier en Michaela Henri – het veral hul staal gewys en verskeie medaljes ingepalm.

Lecordier het goud in die junior hip-hop-opeklas én die junior klassieke styl-afdeling verower. In laasgeno-emde afdeling het sy in ál vier dansstyle – kontemporêr, jazz, ballet en Spaans – koning gekraai. Sy het ‘n brons-medalje in die ‘junior advanced classic’-afdeling en ‘n

STANDERTON – The SAPS have received numerous reports about drug and alcohol abuse by pupils in several primary and secondary schools in the Lekwa Municipal area. Cases of unruly behaviour, disrespect, a lack of discipline and bullying are sky-high in some of the schools.

These scenarios render an unsafe environment for normal teaching and learning. According to most school principals, the safety of both teachers and pupils alike is compromised by acts of violence. This prompted SAPS to respond.

On Thursday, 28 April, Standerton SAPS cluster with the assistance of members of the Community Policing Forum and the K9 Unit arrived unannounced at Azalea Combined School and Stanwest Combined School respectively to raid classes and conduct searches on pupil’s bags and to conduct body searches for drugs and dangerous weapons. It was during a search at Azalea when a 17-year-old boy was spotted sneaking out of the class to throw a small packet of dagga into a dustbin.

Police took him for questioning and his blood tested positive for drugs.Colonel Masango who led the raid, reports that although nothing was found at Stanwest Combined School, teachers and most pupils were grateful that SAPS came to raid the classes and they encourage police to continue these unannounced searches.

She issued a stern warning to other schools that police could pounce unannounced at any time.

She warned drug lords who use pupils as drug mules, to watch their backs. “We will leave no stone unturned to track down criminals at schools,” Colonel Masango said. DM

Haas Das Pre-Primêre Skool het Hemelvaartdag op Don-derdag, 5 Mei, op ‘n gepaste wyse gevier toe hulle nagenoeg R2 800 ten bate van Kosmos Aftree-Oord met ‘n spesiale muntlegging ingesamel het. Die dag se verrigtinge het vroegoggend met ds Pieter Kotzé van die NG-Suidgemeente afgeskop wat die kleuters deur middel van buikspraak meer oor die belangrikheid van naasteliefde vertel het. Die Hemel-vaartvieringe het daarna met die muntlegging afgesluit waar die kleuters met oop harte hul bydrae vir die ouetehuis gepak het.

Some time ago, I visited a friend of a church member who had cancer and wanted healing. He was all ears, lapping and soaking up everything I shared with him. Today, he worships with us and is completely healed of cancer. I remember being at another man’s home at the invitation of his family members. He too was suffering from cancer.

When I entered his home, the man had his television on. I started sharing Christ with him but he was not at all interested in what I was saying. He continued watching the television program. I knew then that his healing was a lost cause because faith for healing comes by hearing God’s Word, not by watching television, reading newspapers or listening to your favourite music.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not against these things, but they are not going to heal you. When you are sick, what you want is God’s healing flowing in your body. How does that happen? One of the primary

ways in which it happens is when you read your Bible, soaking up everything about Jesus. Before you know it, His divine health flows into your body, driving out every symptom of pain, sickness and disease. Even your discouragement dissolves effortlessly.

You find yourself encouraged, refreshed and your darkness giving way to light. You see, there is no way you can feed on Jesus through reading and hearing His Word, and still remain the same. He said, “The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63) My friend, God wants Jesus to be food for you. We feed on Christ by seeing Him unveiled in the Word, by seeing and meditating on what the Holy Spirit reveals of His beauty and glory, and His finished work at Calvary. That is how we enjoy Jesus. It is like having a good meal. And when you do that, Jesus Himself promises that “he who feeds on Me will live because of Me!”

My skoonma is vanaf Februarie 2016 in die ouetehuis. Sy kan nie loop nie en is permanent in die Lenie van der Merwe vleuel, in die bed. Die diens en netheid is fantasties. Die matrone, susters en personeel gee bo-gemiddelde aandag aan al die pasiënte.

As ‘n mens kyk oor hoe die personeel van die mense voer en bedien, kan jy dit amper nie glo nie. Die kos wat die mense kry is ook uitstekend. Ons bid vir die ouetehuis, en mag ons Hemelse vader u seën vir u bydrae en diens aan al die pasiënte. Baie dankie. Mike en Maud Lottering

INTERNASIONAAL - Mev Suid Afrika, Candice Abrahams, is in China aangewys as die mooiste getroude vrou in die wêreld en is daarna gekroon as Mev Wêreld 2016.

Abrahams het Mev Pole uitgestof om die titel te verower. Mev Amerika, Korea en Kanada was deel van die top vyf.

“Ons is oorstelp van vreugde dat Candice dié gesogte titel ontvang het,” het Joani Johnson, uitvoerende hoof van Mev, Suid-Afrika gesê. “Dit is iets waaraan ons gewerk het sedert sy verlede jaar in Oktober as Mev Suid-Afrika gekroon is. Ons was oortuig dat sy die titel kon wen en dit is ‘n oorweldigende oomblik vir die hele span dat Candice haar internasionale doel bereik het.”

SECUNDA – The three-day-long Information and Communication Technology conference hosted by Gert Sibande TVET College held on 13-15 April at Graceland in Secunda with the theme “Inspiration for Integrated Innovation and Information” attracted delegates from all 9 provinces, including 21 speakers who where invited to give presentations. Two cabinet ministers, the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training, Mduduzi Manana and Minister of the Department of Science and Technology, Naledi Pandor, were guest speakers.

The objectives of the conference were to encourage TVET Colleges in South Africa to discover the new and exciting world of technologically rich teaching and learning methodologies in and outside of the lecture room.

To promote entrepreneurship in ITC as a path to economic growth and job creation.

A third objective was to develop widespread awareness of the benefits & value of the ITC for TVET staff and student community by enhancing the application of e-learning and correspondence as a mode of content delivery.

The final objective was to solicit applications from e-pioneers and e-practitioners to present papers with the exclusive aim to promote and enhance e-learning in the TVET-sector of South Africa.

The CEO and Principal of Gert Sibande TVET College, Nick Balkrishen, delivered the welcome address during a Gala Dinner. In his speech he touched on the priorities of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2030 and the White Paper on Post School Education and Training in TVET colleges.

According to the CEO, one of the main goals of the conference was to start a dialogue that will result in a collaborative ITC approach by all 50 TVET Colleges, on how they can synergistically harness the potential of ICT to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in

the TVET sector.The keynote address on the first day of the conference

was delivered by the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training Mduduzi Manana. The minister highlighted that the White Paper on Post-School Education and Training unambiguously states that the DHET’s highest priority is to strengthen and expand public TVET colleges and turn them into attractive institutions of choice for school leavers. The minister also stated that we have to do things differently, use appropriate teaching methodologies, but most importantly, we have to look at the price tag and make TVET college education and training more cost-effective. To achieve this we have to think differently about how ITC is used - not only as a tool, but as an integral part of the modern citizen’s life and contributing to the individual’s as well as the college ‘s productive attainment.

Minister Pandor delivered her address on day two of the conference. In her address the minister said: “We are familiar with the benefits that science and technology bring to our lives and national economics, for example, the internet. Access to internet is as important to economic development as access to electricity.” According to the minister, in order to enjoy the benefits of science and technology, we need human capital development and world-class research infrastructure.

“The benefits are expected to be in line with broader government socio-economic development priorities such as job creation, skills development, poverty reduction and improving the quality of life. We expect the framework to stimulate public-private partnership in IT research and innovation.” said Minister Pandor.

Speaking on behalf of the College Council, Mr Petros Magagula said “I am proud of being part of the dynamic team that is committed to contributing towards the growth of TVET-college sector. The college wish

to express sincere appreciations for the support from government and Ministers as it has been re-affirmed by this conference that the government is fully committed and has embarked on a 10 year development strategy to enhance information technology projects by introducing world-class ITC resources and strengthening human capacity in the field.” DM

Swem speurder, swem!

Die personeel by die speurtak in Stander-ton het vroeg Dinsdagoggend ‘n verras-sing gekry toe water by die voordeur op grond vlak uitgespoel het. Die grondvlak-kantore asook die kantore op die eerste verdieping was totaal en al onder water en almal moes inspring met ’n mop en ‘n em-mer om die water te probeer opdroog. Dit is nog onbekend wat die oorsaak van die vloedstroom was, maar normale pligte kon binne ure weer hervat word.


STANDERTON - Students of the Gert Sibande College in Standerton took to the streets on Friday to display their discontent with money they receive to pay for their study expenses.

A letter received by Cosmos News, reads as follows (sic): “We as the students of Gert Sibande are saying we do not want the R3 000 they are giving because it is stated from NS-FAS that each student should at least get R21 000 which will cover all their costs.

GS College gives students memos that are not directly from NSFAS and they are forcing the students to take the money.

Students were given diaries last year that were written that transport money should be R7 400 for transport and R18 000 for accommodation, but we were told that they had financial problems and then understood. This year they are not giving us reasons why they want us to take such amounts.They are threatening the students that they should attend classes but they know we do not have money for transport.

Students pay R900 to R1 500 per month for transport and accommodation, yet they give them money that will cover only two months. The forms of bursaries that are called refund forms are given to students to sign yet it is not written for what amount each student is sign-

ing for.Students want to know where the money is because students are not accommodated.

We have a residence to stay in but it is not given to students but to workers from different companies to stay in.

SRC and peer educators always go for meetings that we as students never get any feed-back from. They stay in hotels and the school always has functions and still claim they don’t have money to give to students.

What will happen to the money that was processed for the students that were deregistered as they never say there was this much that has to be taken back to NSFAS.

We would love for SABC and ETV to be there next week as they said the meeting will be held on Tuesday for us to know what’s happening. And one more thing, cops were called. Six vans were called and two lorries for students to be taken for no reason as they are fight-ing for their rights by protesting.”

Management was asked to comment, but they were still in talks at print. Keep your eye on our Facebook page for updates about this situation. JD

Students protest over money

Students from the Gert Sibande College took to the streets on Friday to show their discon-tent with the monies they receive for transport and accommodation. They say that they only receive R3 000 instead of R21 000 per year.

After the protest action of students at the Gert Sibande College the streets were strewn with garbage and concrete garbage bins. Motorists making use of the road had to ma-noeuvre through these ‘protesting garbage bins’ to reach their destinations.

STANDERTON - The taxi industry is usu-ally associated with violence and instability everywhere in the country, but the Stander-ton Taxi Association is changing this per-ception and proving to everybody that they are fathers and responsible people in the community who care and have warm hearts for those in need. This was the testimony when the local association went the extra mile to plough back into the community by making a difference in the lives of 87 school children when they donated school shoes to them.

Mr Kenny Tsotetsi, the Secretary of the association, accompanied by his fellow Executive Committee members arrived at Igugulabasha Primary School in Sakhile on Friday, 6 May, and donated 20 pairs of school shoes to pupils who were identified by the school as those in need of assistance. Speaking on behalf of the association, Mr Tsotetsi mentioned that as an industry that depends of the community to use public

transport, they felt it was their social respon-sibility to give back and bring smiles to the pupils’ faces. He added that as an industry, their success depends on the participation of the community, which includes pupils travel in taxis every day.

The school’s Principal, Mrs Phila Ma-vuso, expressed her appreciation to the Taxi Association for caring. The donation will go a long way in cementing the relationship between the industry and the community. She further stated that this act of love to the needy is a blessing and the school is proud to benefit from their social responsibility. “Carry on to do good in the community and remember that that the saying goes: blessed is the hand that gives,” she concluded.

Other schools that received donations were, Leseli, Lindilanga, Hlobisa, and Grootdraai dam. A Grade 7 learner, Zimele Khumalo, entertained the guests with a poem that touched the hearts of all those who listened. DM

Is there any possibility that a licensing authority can refuse to renew a car license because of any outstanding fines? The answer is yes, but it must be made clear that this does not extend to traffic fines that have not reached legislated stages.

These stages are as follows (1) If an Enforcement Order has been issued in terms of the AARTO Act; or (2) If a Warrant of Arrest has been issued in terms of the Criminal Proce-dure Act. If you get a R114 statement of account from the licensing authority, you will note that it lists traffic fines, as well as licensing fees and penalties. Most commonly, licensing transactions are blocked because outstanding licensing fees and penalties thereon exist.

Regulation 59 of the National Road Traffic Regulations state the following:Arrear fees for licensing of motor vehicle or motor trade number

(1) If application is made for the licensing of a motor vehicle or motor trade number in a month following the month in which liability for the licensing of such motor vehicle or motor trade number arose, arrear licence fees, calculated at one twelfth per month of the annual licence fees from the first day of the month in which liability for such licensing arose until the last day of the month preceding the month in which application is made, shall be

(2) If a person who owes any penalties or fees in terms of the provisions of this Act to any registering authority or driving licence testing centre, applies for any transaction, the registering authority or driving licence testing centre to whom such application is made, may refuse to effect the transaction applied for or, in the case of an application for the licensing of a motor vehicle at a registering authority, refuse to issue a licence disc to the applicant, until such penalties and fees have been paid, and may apply any amount tendered in settlement of such penalties and fees due. [Subr.(2) substituted by r. 25, GNR.1341 of 23 September 2003 w.e.f. 23 July 2004.]

(3) If a person who has committed an offence in terms of this Act failed to appear in a Court of Law and as a result of such failure a warrant of arrest of such person has been is-sued, applies for any transaction, the registering authority or driving licence testing centre to whom such application is made, may refuse to effect the transaction applied for or, in the case of an application for the licensing of a motor vehicle at a registering authority, the registering authority may refuse to issue a licence disc to the applicant.

[Subr.3 inserted by r. 16, GNR.404 w.e.f. 4 May 2007.]In simple terms, what this all means is that licensing transactions may be refused if:

• Outstanding licensing fees and/or penalties on licensing fees exist;• If a Warrant of Arrest has been issued against the name of the registered owner; and/or• If an AARTO Enforcement Order been issued against the name of the registered owner.

A licence disc may also be withheld if the vehicle in question does not have a valid road-

Refusing to issue a licence disk?worthy certificate. Licensing authorities may not withhold a licensing transaction because there are “outstanding traffic fines”. They may inform the alleged offender that they exist, but that’s about it.

But because eNaTIS automatically withholds licence discs when other conditions exist, licensing authorities who are part of the traffic authorities in the municipalities they operate, incorrectly tell people that it is the outstanding traffic fines that are causing the licence disk or other licensing transaction not being allowed. Effectively, they con people into believing that this is so, instead of being honest. It’s a very sad situation. JD


STANDERTON - Die tennisspelers van Laerskool Standerton – oud en jonk – is besig om vir groot opslae op die streeks- en provinsiale bane te sorg, aangesien vyf van die skool se beste spelers en afrigters onlangs aan die interdistrikte-, interprovinsiale-, en Mpumalanga-minitoernooi deelgeneem het.

Die Mpumalanga-minitoernooi is tussen 22 en 24 April in Secunda gehou waar Shené Fourie as naaswenner uit die stryd getree het en Carina Visagie met die vierdeplek huis toe is. Matthew Burger en Aldo Strydom het die skool se seunsspan volgestaan wat vanjaar vir die eerste keer in aksie tydens die minitoernooi te sien was.

Tydens die Mpumalanga-interdistriktetoernooi wat tussen 30 April en 1 Mei in Middelburg gehou is, het Visagie weer eens uitgeblink toe sy ál haar kragmetings teen die Laeveld en Mpumalanga-Wes gewen het. Sy was deel van die o-13-Hoëveldspan wat die algehele eersteplek van die toernooi opgeraap het.

Maar, dit was nie net die leerlinge wat uitgeblink het nie aangesien Renier van Wyk – afrigter en onderwyser aan Laerskool Standerton – tussen 6 en 7 Mei as deel van die Mpumalangaspan aan die interprovinsiale toernooi in Klerksdorp deelgeneem het. Die span het vir kookwaterspel gesorg en die algehele vierdeplek uit die nege provinsies ingepalm. DK

Wanneer dit by die ratse sport van muurbal kom, is daar min dinge wat daar vir hierdie vier spelers van Hoërskool Secunda geleer kan word. Hulle het die naweek van 30 April aan die Suid-Afrikaanse-kampioenskap deelgeneem en is al vier in die SA-plattelandse span opgeneem. Van links na regs is Jordan Butland, Anene Visser, FG Visser (nommer een-speler van die SA-span) en Franco van Tonder.

Charli Fourie, ‘n leerling van Hoër- en Laerskool Vrede, het Saterdag, 30 April, aan die wêreldbekende iPOP (In-ternational Presentation of Performers)-oudisies vir sang en voordrag in Sandton deel-geneem en ‘n blywende indruk op die beoordelaars gemaak. Sy kwalifiseer om deur die be-kwame talent-afrigter opgelei te word en dan later vanjaar in Los Angeles in die VSA deel te neem.

Sewe van Laerskool Kruinpark se redenaars is pas gekies om hul skool tydens die semi-finale ronde van die ATKV-redenaarskompetisie te verteenwoordig wat op 3 Junie by HTS Middelburg gehou gaan word. Agter, van links na regs, is Jason Baay (gr 7) en Lara du Toit (gr 6). In die middel is JG van Niekerk (gr 5) en Chana Dunn (gr 6) en voor is Estiaan Knoetze (gr 2) en Zandré Theron (gr 2). Stefan van der Spuy (gr 7) was afwesig toe die foto geneem is.

Stannies skitter tydens toptoernooie

Renier van Wyk, tennisafrigter en onderwyser aan Laerskool Stander-ton, en Carina Visagie, ‘n o-13-spel-er van dié skool, het vroeër hierdie maand aan die interprovinsiale- en die interdistrikte tennistoernooi deel-geneem en met topplekke huiswaarts gekeer.

Zander Fourie, ‘n o-15-tennisspeler van Hoërskool Standerton, het die naweek van 22 tot 24 April aan ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse Tennis Assosiasie-toernooi deelgeneem en sy teenstan-ders ‘n ding of twee gewys. Hy het aan die o-16-afdeling deelgeneem en die algehele tweedeplek in hierdie ouderdomsgroep opgeraap.

ERMELO - Die vakansiedag het nie die hokkiemeisies van Hoërskool Ermelo gestuit toe hulle Maandag, 2 Mei, aan die verskillende proewe van die Mpumalangaspan deelgeneem het nie. Die meisies het hul skool se vaandel met trots laat wapper toe ‘n allemintige 15 spelers in die verskillende provinsiale spanne opgeneem is.

Die o-14’s het na Curroskool Nelspruit vir hul proewe vertrek en ‘n goeie dag beleef toe Andisiwe Vilakazi die enigste speler van Hoërskool Ermelo geword het wat in die Mpumalanga A-span opgeneem is.

In sterk kontras met die o-14’s, het die o-16’s agt spelers opgelewer wat vanjaar in die provinsiale span gaan pronk. Hierdie proewe is by Curro Bankenveld se velde in Witbank gehou.

Lydia Landman, Leandri Beyer, Marla

Oosthuizen en Klarissa Joubert staan almal die Mpumalanga A-span vol, terwyl Kyla Grobler, Ansu Klopper en Nicole van der Merwe vir die B-span sal uitdraf. Berné de Kock het op haar beurt ‘n plek in die provinsiale o-16 C-span losgespeel.

Wat die o-18’s betref, spog ses van Hoërskool Ermelo se spelers met Mpumalanga-kleure na afloop van die proewe by Uplands College se astro-bane in Witrivier.

Die helfte is in die A-span opgeneem en hulle is Anra Mentz, Tanya Beukes en Zané Rothman. Carla Prinsloo gaan vir die B-span uitdraf, terwyl Carin Nel en Jana Prinsloo hul talente aan die C-span sal verleen.

Met sóveel provinsiale spelers beloof hierdie seisoen ‘n uitblinkjaar vir Hoërskool Ermelo te wees. DK
