Family, friends, and tourists who visited Lydenburg during the Festive Season complained about the potholes and dirty streets non-stop. For those of us living

here we are so used to it... we hardly notice it any more. Maybe that is the problem? We hope the municipality will take note what a bad impression our once

beautiful town is making on visitors. Just outside Lydenburg the views are extraordinary. The photo on the top was taken on the Longtom Pass and the other

on the Pilgrims Rest road - both taken by Michelle Boshoff over the holiday.

LYDENBURG dorp het gedurende Desember ’n rekord reënvalsyfer van 264 mm aangeteken. Dit was die hoogste syfer vir Desember in 34 jaar. Die langtermyn gemiddeld vir Desember vir die dorp is 146 mm.In die omgewing soos sekere dele van Potloodspruit is syfers van tot so hoog as 400 mm of meer aangeteken. Sodra ’n reënmeter oorloop (100 mm) verloor mens die akkuraatheid van die lesing, aangesien die oorloop nie gemeet word nie.Reënmeters moet soggens so na as moontlik aan 8 uur gelees word en uitgegooi word. Die syfer word dan teenoor die vorige dag se datum aangeteken (Reën gemeet van gister 08h00 tot vandag 08h00). Moet nie die meter na die bui reën dadelik uitgooi nie. Dit moet staan tot die volgende dag om 08h00 sodat al die reën vir die 24 uur gelees kan word, behalwe indien die meter tydens die storm begin oorloop. Dan maak mens dit dadelik leeg en tel 100 mm (uitgegooi) by die nuwe lesing.Outomatiese of elektroniese reënmeters het beperkte kapasiteit en maak hulleself gereeld leeg en weer vol, alhoewel die lesings akkumulatief oor die tydperk bygetel word. In ’n hewige storm mors die leegmaak proses van outomatiese reënmeters tyd en lees hulle tot soveel as 20% onder die werklike neerslag. Indien jou elektroniese reënmeter dus 60 mm tydens ’n wolkbreuk aantoon, kan jy met veiligheid die syfer korrigeer na 72 mm.Die begin van die seisoen (September, Oktober en November) se syfers vir Lydenburg was egter laer as die gemiddeldes, wat verklaar waarom die Sterkspruit en Dorpsriviere nog nie in vloed is nie.Die naashoogste reën vir Desember in die dorp is in 2011 aangeteken, nl. 261.7 mm.Die syfer vir Januarie 2015 het op 13 Januarie reeds op 77 mm gestaan.Andre Coetzee. Andre was vanaf 1975 tot 1997 in beheer van die Nasionale Weerdiens se Lydenburg weerstasie by die visserye en het in 1997 sy eie twee outomatiese weerstasies by sy huis en sy kantoor opgesit. Hy maak egter staat op die akkuraatheid van konvensionele reënmeters, a.g.v die inherente foute op elektroniese stasies. Dieselfde foute kom voor by elektroniese barometers en min / maks termometers. Gesels gerus met hom vir advies indien jy self jou eie basiese weerstasie goedkoop wil oprig. Dit is maklik.

LOCATED 15 km's north west of Burgersfort, along the border between the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces, Modikwa Platinum Mine is a proud, caring and integral part of the community. It was formed as a joint venture between ARM Mining Consortium and Anglo Platinum and has become the cornerstone of economic development in the area. One of the core priorities of Modikwa Platinum Mine is creating Socio-Economic Development programs for surrounding communities, as well as its employees. Through the Social Labour Plan, Modikwa Platinum Mine demonstrates care and commitment to the community and has to date built infrastructure designed to supply communities with basic water, electricity, roads and buildings, relieve and alleviate poverty, as well as to develop the community as a whole.To achieve this Modikwa Platinum Mine inter alia launched the following four projects:1.Diphale Tribal Office.The Tribal office falls under infrastructure development. Tribal offices are used for community gatherings, where matters are raised, discussed and resolved. The offices also serve as information services to render government services that include (SASSA) and other related public services.2. The Makgapheng Agricultural Farm.The Makgapheng Agricultural Farm is designed to aggressively address one of the major economic issues facing the people of our country by relieving as well as alleviating poverty and stimulating economic development within the host communities, an effort without which the development and progress in the area, is severely hindered. In light of this

Modikwa Platinum Mine has invested more than R100 million into local communities

premise, the

Modikwa mine has implemented the Makgapeng Agricultural project, which is a cooperative made up of 14 members who farm vegetables such as cabbages, spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, butternuts, carrots and maize on 10 hectares of land.3. Maandagshoek Bakery.The project is located at Sehlaku Village approximately 5 Kms from Modikwa Platinum Mine. This is an enterprise development project that is owned by Section 21 companies, with the following main objectives: Job creation (11 locals are employed), accessibility of bakery products for locals and sustainable Economic Development.4. Khulong Ya Hwashi Engineering Workshop.This project forms part of Enterprise Development Initiative and it is also classified as an income-generating project. Its offers the following services: Manufacturing and repair of hydraulic cylinders, repair of hydraulic pumps, valves and motors, supply of hydraulic hose and fittings, general Engineering, repair of conveyor gearboxes and tail and drive pulley's, field services on all trackless mining machines and earthmoving machinery, supply of parts and components for trackless machines, installation and extensions of conveyor belts, repair LHD Boom and Bucket and framework repairs.The implementation of these projects has been based on the needs of each area, in consultation with the beneficiaries and, with the guidance of the Department of Mineral Resources. The mine trained local SME's to provide goods and services to meet the needs of the company and also enhance their capacity to access

markets that are external, so that they can become self-s u f f i c i e n t a n d sustainable. These four projects are just a few of the many initiatives towards Modikwa Platinum Mine efforts to uplift i t s s u r r o u n d i n g communities.

TOE mnr. Bertie Coetzee onlangs die grond omspit om 'n nuwe groentetuin te vestig het hy op 'n rare fonds afgekom. 'nVolledige Britse .303 patroon wat waarskynlik dateer uit die Anglo Boere Oorlog (1899-1902) het sy verskyning gemaak na dekades ondergrond.Wat die fonds merkwaardig maak is dat die rondte steeds in 'n redelik goeie toestand is en dat die identifikasiemerke of te wel “headstamp” op die basis van die rondte steeds sigbaar is. Hierdie merke is 'n aanduiding van die rondte se herkoms en ouderdom.Eerstens is daar 'n R ^ L wat dui op die fabriek waar dit vervaardig is, in hierdie geval Royal Laboratories, Woolich Arsenal, Kent in die Verenigde Koningkryk. Volgende is daar 'n Romeinse II wat MK II (Merk 2) verteenwoordig. Dit plaas die rondte in 'n ouderdomsgroep van ammunisie wat gebruik is tot en met 1915.Die .303 (7.7 mm) kaliber het sy onstaan in 1889 as Britse en Verenigde Volke se standaard militêre kaliber tot en met 1950, toe dit vervang is met 'n nuwerwetse 7.62mm NATO kaliber.Die MK I & MK II rondtes vir militêre diens het bestaan uit 'n rondepuntprojektiel van 215 gr (grein) gemaak van 'n koper-nikkelallooi wat gevul is met 'n lood kern. Wat die MK II onderskei is dat die projektiel se allooi omhulsel dikker en sterker was as dié van die MK I. Die MK II is ook die eerste waar gebruik gemaak is van die rooklose dryfmiddel, kordiet.'n “C” simbool op die dop basis identifiseer die tipe dryfmiddel of kruit wat in die dop gebruik is. In hierdie geval is dit Kordiet of te wel “Cordite” wat 'n verbetering was op die ou swartkruit en die voorganger van meer moderne dryfmiddels wat in later jare ontwikkel is.Die kordiet se uitstaande kenmerk is dat dit bestaan uit stafies eerder as poeier of korrels en dat dit die eerste rooklose dryfmiddel was. Dit was in gebruik vanaf 1891 tot 1915, waarna dit vervang is met meer moderne dryfmiddels wat beter ontbrandingseienskappe gehad het en makliker in groot hoeveelhede vervaardig kon word.Die MK III het gevolg in 1888/9 en was gebaseer op 'n projektiel wat tydens impak om geklink het met die doel om maksimum wondskade te berokken. Tydens die

ABO (II) .303 koeëlgevind in Lydenburg tuin

Konvensie van Den Haag in 1899 is daar besluit dat ammunisie wat om klink tydens impak nie in oorlogvoering gebruik kan word nie, weens die gruwelike aard van so 'n projektiel se impak op mense en dat dit lyding van 'n gewonde kan vererger.Daarom is die MK II eerder deur die Britte gebruik tydens die oorlog teen die Boere in die tydperk 1899-1902 en is dit die rede hoekom ons MK II doppies en heel rondtes op Anglo Boereoorlogterreine in en om Lydenburg aantref. Die rondte op die meegaande foto is 'n volledige voorbeeld van 'n .303 MK II wat

waarskynlik dateer uit die Anglo Boereoorlog (1899-1902). Wat die spesifieke rondte spesiaal maak is dat daar 'n skeur in die dop is wat ons 'n blik op die anatomie van die rondte gee. Merkwaardiglik is die kordietstafies steeds sigbaar waar hulle behoue gebly het na

al die jare. Dit is 'n ware tydskapsule van die verlede!~ Ingestuur deur JP Celliers Kurator, Lydenburg Museum

MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES

DAAR is nogal baie om die die nuwe jaar op ’n donker noot mee te begin. Die holkoppe het weer klappers geskiet dat dit bars. Ons het min geslaap met misdadigers wat snags die strate en ons erwe patrolleer het. Meer as 1 200 mense is op die land se paaie dood. Meer as 4 000 kleintjies is verlate op strande agtergelaat. Mashishing se ashoop lê nou al voor Lybasol. Die slaggate is nou kraters.

Matriekvraestelle word landwyd by mekaar afgeskryf, kompleet met dieselfde bewoording vir verkeerde antwoorde.Die area om die Java see is nou die wêreld se nuwe Bermuda driehoek met vliegtuie wat verdwyn. Skepe brand en val om. In Kenia val nog geboue om. Boku Haram oorrompel ’n internasionale weermag-basis. Ebola is rof. Vlêrmuis eet is uit. Die ANC en Lydenburg Munisipaliteit het nou heeltemaal irrelevant geraak. Eskom is kragteloos. Zuma word al hoe maerder. Sosiale media is nie meer sosiaal nie. Dit het ’n bron van galbraak, skande, haat-

spraak en rassisme geraak. Erg. Die katolieke kerk reken alle gelowe is tegelyk reg. Die Kaapse Klopse kan nie paartie hou nie want dit bots met ’n Islamitiese godsdienstige dag. Samesweringsteorieë vier hoogty. Almal blameer die illuminati en sweer die einde is in sig. Koop eiendom onder die grond. Bly in ’n gat ja.Die spul haat mekaar so dat hulle mekaar eersdaags soos ’n pak hiënas sal opvreet.

Petrol is goedkoper, ek kan bietjie rondry. My werkwinkel is vir ’n slag so skoon dat ek daar kan peuter. Ek word dalk eersdaags met my geliefde ou Chev herenig. Ek het ’n lekker boek om te lees. Ja, die lewe is goed.

Maar ek ontspan.

DEUTERONOMIUM 4:30: “Wanneer julle in nood verkeer deurdat hierdie dinge in die toekoms oor julle kom, moet julle terugkom na die Here julle God, en sy woord gehoorsaam.Dankie Vader, vir die opdrag om na U terug te keer - Amen.

' Koot. Hierdie 2015 wat voorlê maak my sommer bang. Gelukkig is die onbekende nie vir my onoorkomlik nie. Ek ploeg O

voort.Ek is bly 2014 is agter die rug. Hierdie jaar wil ek net meer fokus op dinge wat my gelukkig maak, en dinge soek wat my gelukkig maak. Geen voorneme was my enigste voorneme op 31 Desember 2014. Maar op 5 Januarie het die deuntjie toe verander. Voorneme nommer een is om minder af-koppie vergeet-verkleurmannetjie te speel. En dan doen ek dit nog so vrywillig dat my kop somtyds heeltemal raas. Dit was verlede jaar ook een van my wense, en dit het nooit waar geword nie. Inteendeel dit het vererger. Te veel het ek al op 00:00 vinnig ’n wensie opgestuur, so op die ingewing. Daarom besluit ek eers ’n paar sober dae later wat moet verander in die nuwe jaar. Dis veiliger. Selfs al is dit later in Januarie. Ek glo as ’n positiewe idee in jou kop kom, om sommer dit die volgende dag toe te pas. Loop met ’n reguit rug en ’n glimlag vir die res van die jaar. Maak ook ’n lys van al jou goeie kwaliteite en waarvoor jy dankbaar is. Partykeer moet mens net herinner word aan hoe gelukkig jy eintlik is. Bel ’n vergete vriend, los ou verwyte en deel ’n snaakse storie met iemand. Lag is goeie medisyneEn moet ’n nooit ’n belofte maak wat jy nie kan nakom nie. Beloftes maak skuld.Dan het mens nie voornemes nodig nie.Voorspoed vir elke dag in 2015.~ Michelle Boshoff

Goed om te onthou:

Frik Rousseau Direkteur Lelievlei , Jean en Johan Muller Bestuurslede Lelievlei skryf:Lelievlei het met behulp van baie myne, sportklubs,organisasies, skole, politieke partye, besighede en publiek ‘n wonderlike feesseisoen beleef. Baie skenkings (onder andere meubels, kombuistoerusting, tuintoerusting, klerasie, kos en geskenke) is ontvang wat baie gehelp het met die nood wat die mense daar daagliks beleef. Die kinders het almal met groot glimlagte rondgehardloop en gespeel tot laat met hul geskenke. Baie dankie weereens aan almal vir jul bydraes.

Lelievleiers bedank almal

Gerda Chester (vorige eienaar van Lapsar) en Frik Rousseau (vorige voorsitter van Lapsar beheerraad) skryf:Weens gesondheidsredes het Gerda en Frik bedank uit hul ampte by Lapsar. Hulle is egter nog steeds oorval die

Lapsar se nuwe bestuurafgelope Feesseisoen deur die publiek oor klagtes, verlore honde en katte sowel as diere wat gevind is.Hiermee vra hulle die publiek om groot asb die nuwe eienaar Mnr Johan Vercueil by 082 8774 586 te skakel virnavrae

Die Gryskatte rugbymanne het almal bymekaargekom en hierdie jaar besluit dat hulle graag meer betrokke wil raak by die welsyninstansies in die dorp en so het hulle Lelievlei gekontak, die kinders se ouderdomme en name gekry en vir hulle geskenkies opgemaak vir Kersfees. Die opwinding was merkbaar aan die opgewonde kindergesiggies en die rugbymanne met blink oë. Kobus wil net graag van die geleentheid gebruik maak om al die Gryskatte te bedank vir hul bydraes met hierdie projek. Enige persone of instansies wat ook graag deel wil wees van hul projek hierdie jaar kan gerus vir Kobus by 072 841 3629 of Tommy by 083 627 8869 skakel.

Baie Geluk Lydenburg Hoërskool, leerlinge en ouers met die uitmuntende prestasie!WL Amelia Bietje &NFR Frik Rousseau

Die VF+ het weereens hierdie jaar ‘n leerder gekies wat hulle met ‘n skenking vereer. Duncan van Vuuren (leerder van Lydenburg Hoërskool)

was die enigste o/16 wat gekies is vir die Nasionale o/16 President Bokkiespan wat vir tien dae in Holland (teen onder meer Nederland, België, Amsterdam, Den Haag, Almere en Brussels) gaan rugby speel het. Hierdie

stut het gesorg vir veertien drieë, twee maal “man of the match” en onderkaptein vir sy span. Duncan sê alle eer gaan aan die Here en hy

bedank al die borge wat dit moontlik gemaak het. Hy sê dat die motivering sy pa was wat verlede jaar oorlede is. Baie geluk Duncan met jou

uitsonderlike spel en ons glo daar wag ‘n blink toekoms op jou. Die VF+ se Nasionale Federale Raadslid, Mnr Frik Rousseau sê dat die VF+ se bestuur

besluit het om ’n groter persentasie van hul begroting aan die jeug te bestee en minder aan onthale.

A new bird and conservation club to be affiliated to BirdLife South Africa h a s b e e n f o r m e d f o r t h e Mpumalanga Escarpment.Escarpment Bird Club intends to be the leading source of information concerning all species of birds and their h a b i t a t s f a l l i n g w i t h i n t h e Mpumalanga Escarpment; facilitators for monitoring Important Bird (and Biodiversity) Areas (IBBA's); promoters of Biodiversity Stewardship amongst private land owners; and the support base for the establishment and l i a i son wi th Bi rder Fr iend ly Establishments, within its area of influence as a club.The club founded in Dullstroom, will serve the whole of the escarpment, from the Blyde River Canyon in the north to Chrissiesmeer in the south. The club will arrange localised meetings, outings, education courses, and bird and biodiversity monitoring activities across the escarpment. Birders from Gauteng who have holiday homes or timeshare ownership are also to be welcomed as members.Owners of historically held family farms, lodges and private nature reserves (especially in the Lydenburg to Mt Anderson, Lydenburg to Machadodorp, Komati Gorge, Ohrigstad, and Long Tom Pass valleys) containing exciting habitats and birding hotspots not previously accessible to birders are now agreeable to these being visited on a controlled basis by Escarpment Bird Club groups.A Club priority is the preparation of a “Comprehensive Guide to Birding the Mpumalanga Escarpment”, the club's strategic marketing tool to promote the club and avi-tourism to the escarpment. This will include accredited Birder F r i e n d l y A c c o m m o d a t i o n establishments, where to see bird species in the Escarpment, and arrangements for guiding by local members and community guides.The Founding Committee comprises a number of seasoned birders in George Skinner (Chairman), Ben von Wielligh (Vice-Chai rman) , Mike Bre t t (Treasurer) and Mike Clacey, Chris de Beer, Hugo Fourie and Alan Hatton.Membership enquiries can be directed to George at georges@shopz-group.co.za.

NO longer satisfied with lagging behind the German big three when it comes to super saloon outputs, the Americans started their comeback to serious Q-car title contention with Chrysler’s Dodge Hellcat twins. Now, it’s Cadillac’s turn to show off some of its muscle with the 2016 CTS-V.While the Charger Hellcat will still be the world’s most powerful production sedan, Cadillac’s put up a pretty good fight. The General Motors subsidiary’s halo model employs a supercharged 6,2-litre V8 powerplant that puts out 477 kW and 855 N.m of torque. Thanks to an eight-speed automatic transmission (and a launch control system), which sends torque to the rear wheels, the CTS-V is capable of a 3,7 second 0-100 km/h sprint and goes on to a top speed of 322 km/h.But Cadillac also wanted to ensure that buyers of the new CTS-V wouldn’t have a hard time keeping the Detroit sleeper on the straight and narrow. So the firm’s engineers granted it 25 percent more torsional rigidity to increase handling and steering precision, wider front and front tracks, an electronically controlled limited slip differential, as well as Magnetic Ride Control active suspension damping. Peeking out from the 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber are 390 mm brake discs and six-piston calipers by Brembo.Although the CTS-V is definitely possessed of a more extroverted exterior than its lesser brethren, by the way of the larger mesh grille, vents in the (painted) carbon-fibre bonnet, wider fenders and quad tailpipes, it’s still not too excessive. There’s also a carbon-fibre exterior package available for those who want a little more visual appeal.The cabin vastly resembles the rest of the CTS range, but buyers can also opt for a carbon fibre trim package, as well as microfiber suede upholstery, Recaro front seats,

and the company’s Performance Data Recorder – which plays back video and telemetry from track days.The Cadillac CTS-V will make its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, as is expected to go on sale in left-hand drive markets mid 2015.Carmag.co.za

IF there was one vehicle that we would have thought was immune from the bling culture, it's that most prosaic of agricultural implements, the Land Rover Defender.But we'd have been wrong - and, far from being part of the California car culture, the Defender specialist responsible for the sexed-up boxcar you see here is based in Milton Keynes, right in the heart of England's mink and manure belt.Nevertheless, when it came to giving the Land Rover Defender Ultimate RS (that's what it's called) a beef injection, Urban Trucks opted for Detroit muscle, dropping in a 6.2-litre LS3 V8 crate engine from GM, driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox with what GM refers to as an electronic gear selector module.The LS3, Urban Trucks tells us, is available in various states of tune, delivering from 316kW to a seriously intimidating 368kW and 540Nm.Urban trucks has also lowered the suspension by more than 50mm with spots springs and Bilstein dampers, beefed up the anti-roll bars and painted the brake callipers bright red, inside custom 18” rims shod with Yokohama rubber.The RS is finished in gloss black (including the badging!) with a custom grille, LED lighting, carbon-fibre bonnet vents, tinted glass and a satin black bash plate, and speaks with authority through big-bore stainless-steel drainpipes.The inside, however, takes naff to a new level, with a wholly inappropriate Momo steering wheel and heatable Recaro sports seats, all trimmed in soft, quilted nappa leather (as are the dashboard and steering column), and an Alpine sound system complete with heavy-duty sub-woofer and built-in satnav.Prices start at £92 995 (R1.67 million) for the short-wheelbase version, rising to £97 995 (R1.76 million) and beyond for an RS based on the Defender 110 station wagon.iol.motoring.co.za

ON Monday following stage 8 of the 2015 Dakar Rally, the rankings were as follows:Bikes:1. Coma - KTM. 2. Cocalves - Honda. 3. Quintanilla - KTMQuads:1. Casale - Yamaha. 2. Sonik - Yamaha. 3. Lafuente - Yamaha.Cars:1. Al-Attiyah - Mini. 2. De Villiers - Toyota. 3. Alrajhi - Toyota.Trucks:1. Mardeev - Kamaz. 2. Karginov - Kamaz. 3. Nicolaev - Kamaz.

Honda is staging a comeback this year with KTM still in front. With their new bike Yamaha does not feature. Amongst the quads Yamaha is King.De Villiers is consistently second after the Mini, with his new Hilux. In the Truck catergory the Russians remain king with their Kamaz trucks.Readers are reminded to watch the last few episodes of the Dakar Rally on channel 206 at 10:30 every evening.Andre Coetzee.

Dakar Rally - Rankings after Stage 9

WAY back when the first Kia Soul appeared we were very impressed with the vehicle. The shape required getting used to, but a square box is very practical and the best utilisation of space. This is the new generation, which basically looks the same. Look closer however and you will see almost everything has changed. Small, evolutionary changes, but a new car nevertheless. Five models are available, a 1.6 petrol start, 2.0 petrol street, and smart and 1.6 turbodiesel street and smart. Transmissions are 6-speed manual or auto. Power ranges from 91 to 116 kW and torque from 152 to 260 Nm.Electric power steering with tilt and telescopic wheel is available on all models. Disc brakes with ABS are fitted to all four wheels with the higher models featuring BAS, ESC, VSM and HAC.We tested the highest spec Smart 1.6 diesel AT which featured climate control, central locking, auto locking doors, HID headlights with auto control, daytime LED running lights, Bluetooth, USB / iPod in, folding mirrors, electric windows, full spec radio / CD, remote steering controls, rear view camera, flex steer, stop / start button, glovebox cooling, leather seats, trip computer, front and rear park distance control, mood lamps, rear LED light clusters, driver seat power adjustable, cruise control and 6 airbags. The specification level is comprehensive.There is a 5-year / 150 000 km warranty and 4-year / 90 000 km service plan. 14 Body colour (some two tone) combinations are available.On the road the Kia Soul impressed. It accelerated well and pulled strongly on the uphills. Overtaking, however is a leisurely affair. The 6-speed auto transmission has a manual function to hold a gear when towing or driving in convoy.Brakes are very good, the steering is precise and all controls are light to operate. Turning circle is nice and tight. The interior is roomy and the overall perception of quality is good. At speed directional stability is good and the engine turns at around 3 000 rpm in sixth at 140 km/h.With the windows up the ride is quiet and relaxed. The aircon is very efficient. With the windows down there is some intrusive wind noise, probably due to the square shape of the car. The sound quality of the entertainment system is good.With all the electric adjustments on the drivers seat, it took a while for me to find a comfortable driving position, but the system works well and is fully adjustable.17 and 18 inch alloy wheels are standard and with low profile tires the ride is firm but pleasant.I found nothing to criticize on the Soul, except for the hooter, which is almost inaudible. A car of this class, price and specification deserves a better hooter.For more on this car, visit Kia motors Lydenburg. I can really recommend it.Andre Coetzee
