ERMELO - Die 49-jarige Medrin Ndlo-vu, wat onlangs skuldig bevind is aan strafbare manslag, is op Dinsdag, 8 Maart, in die Ermelo-hof ‘n boete van R20 000 of twee jaar tronkstraf opgelê. Ndlovu het op 12 Julie verlede jaar voor twee seuns op hul motorfiets ingery en die 16-jarige Stiaan Schoeman is op die toneel dood. Sy het verlede maand skuld op dié aanklag erken en ook laat weet dat sy reeds R10 000 gespaar het vir ‘n moontlike boete. Ndlovu het die hof versoek om nie haar bestuurslisensie op te skort nie aangesien sy dit nodig het om haar werk by die De-partement van Landbou te kan doen.

Ndlovu, wat R24 000 per maand verdien , het die boete in kontant betaal voordat sy die hofgebou, met haar rybe-wys, verlaat het. JD

Inwoners van Boekenhoutlaan in Florapark het Maandag, 21 Maart, in die vroeë oggendure onder inbrekers deurgeloop. Die inbrekers het toegang tot die huis verkry deur ‘n sitkamervenster te breek en die diefwering oop te buig. ‘n Skootrekenaar, Xbox en platskerm TV word vermis. Die inwoners het geslaap tydens die inbraak en alhoewel die huis ‘n alarmstelsel het, was dit nie geaktiveer nie.

A truck that was parked in Walter Sisulu Drive was relieved of its load during the night. The driver decided to park across the road from the veterinary clinic to get some sleep, but when he woke the soya beans that he was transporting was gone. The driver reported the theft to Standerton SAPS who are investigating the case.

Kosmosnuus het ‘n navraag aan Dreykon gerig van motoriste wat nie ag slaan op die stopenry se verkeerbeheer nie. In ‘n antwoord ontvang vanaf Peet Botha word die ongerief veroorsaak deur ongeduldige bestuurders wat óf die versperring self verwyder óf net eenvoudig om dit ry. Hierdie bestuurders het geen respek vir ander padgebruikers se veiligheid nie. Volgens Botha is daar baie bestuurders wat hulle aan hierdie oortreding skuldig maak. Hy maan motoriste om op die uitkyk te wees vir hierdie bestuurders wat ander se lewe in gevaar stel. Dreykon bied hulle verskoning vir hierdie ongerief aan. In die foto kan gesien word hoe ‘n minibustaxi die versperring verontagsaam.

STANDERTON - Mnr Haskins van Kassel-man Veiligheidsdienste het Vrydag, 18 Maart, tydens die weeklikse veeveiling ‘n vermeende bokdief by die taxistaanplekke gearresteer.

Dit volg nadat 11 bokke van ‘n plaas naby Kromdraai ongeveer ‘n week gelede vermis geraak het.

Die bokke se eienaar was self ook by die veiling en die veediefstaleenheid het die verdagte in hegtenis geneem. JD

Die hoofroete deur Standerton is só vol slaggate dat motoriste hul lewens moet waag om voor aankomende verkeer in te ry om die gate te vermy. Gedurende verlede week het die gate egter name begin kry nadat dit met spuitverf gemerk is. Die Stadsraad het wel die slaggate vol grond gaan gooi, maar dié grond is binne ‘n dag weer uit die gate gery.

Raw sewage gushed from a manhole in Charl Cilliers Street on Friday, 18 March. Not only was the stench unbearable for a local car dealership, but a grocery store a few metres down the street was forced to unpack foodstuff in these circumstances. Pedestrians also had to navigate through the sewage in an attempt to keep on dry ground. This is the second time this month that the same drain has become blocked. At print, the blockage was cleared.

VREDE - Officers at Vrede Police Sta-tion, under the leadership of the Station Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Xhasa, arrested seven men between the ages of 20 and 36 for crimes ranging from posses-sion of stolen goods, possession of dagga, housebreaking and theft.

Property with an estimated value of R30 000 was recovered. Suspects were arrested in different places around Them-balihle, Vrede on Wednesday, 16 March at about 01:40 following tip-offs from in-formants.

Members who were involved are Lt Col Xhasa, Warrant Officer Mosemaka, Con-

For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17)

If you struggle, as many believers do, with whether you deserve to be blessed, favoured and victorious, you are asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking is: does Jesus deserve to be blessed, favoured, and victorious? Because you are in Christ, having a blessed future is not contingent on how much you strive to be perfect or how hard you work at changing yourself. It is contingent on the person of Jesus. The Bible proclaims, “As He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Does Jesus deserve to be blessed, favoured, and victorious? Then so do you! This is what being in Christ Jesus is. It means that today God assesses you and sees you based on the perfection of Jesus Christ.

Jesus’ righteousness is your righteousness.

In fact, the Bible explains that because Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us, we are now the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21). “Righteousness” is a legal term. It means to have right standing before God. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words defines righteousness as “that gracious gift of God to men whereby all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are brought in right relationship with God.” In other words, your right standing before God is based upon Jesus’ right standing before God. He purchased it for you at the cross. When you received Him as your Lord and Saviour, He took away all your unrighteousness once and for all and gave you His gift of righteousness. It can only be received by your right believing in Jesus.

And do you know what happens when you receive this gift of righteousness? The Bible declares that “those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:17).

STANDERTON - A well-known and loved couple, Peter and Norma Daniel, will be retiring at the end of March. Peter started his career as a pharmacist in 1974 at P Daniel & Fourie under the watchful eye of Marie Joubert. Peter said that during that practical year he learned a whole lot about the apothecary.

Peter and Norma studied together at Rhodes University where after Norma did locum work in Vanderbijlpark. They were married in 1981 and Norma moved to Standerton where she worked at Standerton Apteek.

In 1996 Daniel & Fourie, Standerton Apteek, Saads and Ledikers Pharmacies merged and formed Maximed 1 and 2. Peter’s grandfather started the KPP factory in 1917 which his father later took over. The factory was sold in 1980.

Peter is still very active in his duties at Standerton Marathon Club and at the Lions Club in Standerton where he is Club President. He was also a member of the Round Table until he turned 41. Peter said that he will still locum at Maximed, but will definitely travel a lot more. As Peter is an avid bird lover and watcher, one of the first places he and Norma will visit is the Kgalagadi Nature Reserve. JD

Adieu to an institutionThe gracious gift of righteousness

After almost 42 years as pharmacists in Standerton, Peter Daniel and his wife Norma have decided it is time to hand over the baton. Peter will still do some locum work but they plan to travel a whole lot more. Norma was attending a client (as is usually the case in a busy pharmacy) when the photo was taken.

Volkshulp 2 000 is ‘n welsynsorganisasie wat op 21 Julie 1991 gestig is om goedere, geld, klere en nie-bederfbare kos by mense in te samel en dan die goedere onder die behoeftige mense in ons geledere te versprei.

Ons tweede taak is om, voortspruitend uit ons werksaamhede vir behoeftige mense, werk te skep en laastens om mense te help om werk te soek.

Vanaf Januarie 2015 tot Desember 2015 kon ons, danksy Genade van Bo en goedhartigheid van skenkers, aan 3 254 gesinne of altesaam 6 854 mense kospakkies uitdeel. Die waarde van die kospakkies word op R492 170 bereken.

Benewens die kospakkies is daar ook klere aan verskeie mense voorsien en in sommige gevalle is noodsaaklike meubelstukke soos beddens aan behoeftiges uitgedeel.

Volkshulp 2 000 voorsien ook hospitaalbeddens aan siek mense, wat op vloere moet lê om behandel te word. Die beddens word na herstel of na afsterwe van pasiënte gehaal om weer aan ander behoeftige pasiënte beskikbaar gestel te word.

STANDERTON – Sakhile SAPS have issued a stern warning to all liquor trad-ers, stating that they must comply with the conditions of their trading licenses or they will face the full might of the law. Lieu-tenant Colonel Mbatha, the Station Com-mander, is concerned that liquor traders are operating outside stipulated times. Some close their business in the morning hours, particularly over the weekend. He men-tioned that most cases, such as rape, rob-bery, assault, drunken and reckless driving, are committed when people leave taverns whilst intoxicated.

“The law and the liquor act states that all liquor stores are opened from 08:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 on Saturday, but no liquor store should be open on Sundays. On public holidays the same condition applies. Christmas Day

and Good Friday are the only days except for Sundays when liquor stores are also closed for business.

Tavern trading hours should be as fol-lows: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 24:00. Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 20:00,” said Lt Col Mbatha.

Lt Col Mbatha added that police will intensify operations on liquor trading busi-nesses and enforce compliance. Those found on the wrong side of the law will forfeit their operating licenses. In conclu-sion, Lt Col Mbatha said that he is in talks with the Lekwa Liquor Traders Association to arrange a general meeting with the law enforcement agencies.

He urges liquor operators to personally attend the meeting instead of sending af-filiates. The date and venue will be com-municated soon. DM

STANDERTON - The DA in Mpumalanga condemns the actions of Lekwa Local Municipality in Standerton for failing to pay pension and medical contributions of its employees and councillors. This, according to DA councillors, has been ongoing for the past three months. The question is where has the money gone to?

The failure to contribute to the pension fund was confirmed in a correspondence from the Municipal Councillors Pension Fund (MCPF) and the DA is in possession of the e-mail dated 3 February. In the email it states: “Honourable Councillor, please note the payment for the December contribution has not yet been made. We have escalated the issue and await feedback from our provincial trustees.”

This has resulted in employees embarking on a strike and has subsequently called for the firing of Municipal Manager, Linda Tshabalala. The workers want Tshabalala to be fired because they feel the contracted services in the municipality are an unnecessary expenditure. The strike which has been on-going for three weeks, is also affecting Lekwa residents as rubbish was not collected for the

same period and there’s constant water supply interruption.

Lekwa Municipality is clearly struggling and in need of a change in leadership. Lekwa is one of the Municipalities that has received threats from Eskom where it states that electricity will be cut in April if they don’t settle outstanding debt of over R200 million.

Overall, the municipality has a debt of R422 million; this includes the R213 million owed to Eskom, R114 million owed to the Department of Transport and R95 million owed to the Water Board. The municipality has a contractual duty to contribute to their employees’ medical aid and pension fund.

The DA does not understand why the municipality is failing to do so and calls on the provincial government and the Department of Cooperative Governance (CoGTA) to urgently intervene in this matter.

They must put this municipality under administration as its leadership has proved that it is incapable to deal with finances resulting in poor to no service delivery to the community of Lekwa. (Councillor Angel Khanyile, DA Councillor: Lekwa Local Municipality) JD

NASIONAAL - As deel van die Nasio-nale Waterweekvieringe het AfriForum sy takke landwyd georganiseer om tot einde Mei vanjaar aan munisipale begrotings-prosesse deel te neem met die doel om die begroting vir munisipale infrastruktuur te verhoog.

Volgens Marcus Pawson, AfriForum se hoof van plaaslike regering, is die agter-stand van infrastruktuurontwikkeling en -onderhoud te wyte aan die feit dat muni-sipaliteite so min as 2% van hulle begro-tings aan die onderhoud van infrastruktuur

spandeer – terwyl die nasionale tesourie minstens 8% vereis.

Die gevolg van dié swak instandhouding is dat Suid-Afrika 40% van sy skóón drink-water teen ŉ koste van R8 miljard verloor. “Suid-Afrika ly onder een van die ergste droogtes sedert 1992 wat boonop met her-haalde hittegolwe gepaardgaan. Munisi-paliteite kan nie meer die verlies aan drink-water ignoreer nie,” het Pawson gesê.

Lede van die publiek kan ook op tak vlak betrokke raak deur hul dorp se naam na 45344 te SMS. Elke SMS kos R1. JD

Nasionale Waterweek gevier


STANDERTON - Standerton Tuinbouklub het op 16 Maart ‘n baie suksesvolle teetuin in me Lucille Van der Linde se pragtige plaastuin aangebied. Me van der linde is onlangs aangewys as die algehele wenner van die Kosmosnuus Tuinkompetisie.

Standerton Tuinbouklub bedank al die borge vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning. Die borge sluit Standerton Mica (hoofborg), Afgri Hinterland, Protek SA, Efekto en die Plant Depot in Meyerville in. Volgens die voorsitter van die tuinbouklub, me Elize Trueman, kan hierdie instansies gerus genader word vir enige kunsmis en tuinbenodigdhede.

Tydens die teetuin het me Arina Duvenhage die dames toegespreek oor waarom tuine nie bar laat lê moet word gedurende die winter nie. Dit veroorsaak dat die grond uitgeput word, aangesien al die lewende organismes in die grond sterf omdat dit geen voeding kry. Die grond droog uit en gaan alles letterlik dood en neem dit ‘n tuinier dan langer in die somer om weer hul tuine aan die groei te kry.

As tuine in die winter beplant word met pragtige blomme en bolle en dit dan weekliks gevoed word met ‘n goeie blaarvoeding, gaan die lewende organismes nie dood nie.

Daar is dan sommer ook ‘n bietjie kleur in die tuine

tydens die vaal wintermaande en as daar reg geplant word kan daar dan in September ‘n blommeskouspel in die tuine wees.

Blomme wat in die winter geplant kan word is onder andere (in die skadutuin) primulas en fox cloves en in direkte son kan poppies, viooltjies, gesiggies, floksies, leeubekkies, petunias, delphiniums en natuurlik die pragtige pronkertjies geplant word.

Bolle moet ook nou tot einde April geplant word en sluit affodille, anemone, kammetjies, Hollandse irisse, renonkels, asook sneurflokkies in. Plant die bolle in groot groepe bymekaar vir ‘n pragtige skouspel van kleur.

Plant hangmandjies met dwergpronkertjies vir besonderse kleur in die winter.

Arina het ook die dames ingelig dat dit baie belangrik is om ‘n deklaag in tuine te gooi om plante teen die koue te beskerm. Die beste deklaag om te gooi is akkerblare wat nou begin afval. Gooi die akkerblare so 10 tot 15cm dik rondom alle plante, maar nie teen die stamme nie. Gooi dan beenmeel en landboukalk en ‘n organiese kunsmis soos guanokorrels, bio ocean-kunsmis of bio-organiese kunsmis, bo-oor. Dit hou die grond warm gedurende die winter en breek tegelykertyd af om die grond te voed, gereed vir die somer. JD

STANDERTON - “A small amount of blood can save someone’s life.”

This is the passionate plea from the South African National Blood Service ahead of the Easter weekend. The SANBS have mobilized a donating point which will travel to various points in our town. Members of the public are requested to donate blood to save the lives of fellow human beings. Road accidents claim hundreds of lives every year and someone’s life could be saved if blood is available when most needed.

You can make that possible. Look out for the SANBS caravan around

town or visit their local branch at the Junxion Shopping Centre. DM

STANDERTON - Die burgerregte-organ-isasie AfriForum se Standerton-tak het op 12 Maart vanjaar ŉ skoonmaakeenheid op die been gebring om die dorp en omliggende ge-biede self skoon te maak.

Dit volg nadat Lekwa Plaaslike Munisi-paliteit versuim het om die dorp na behore skoon en in stand te hou. “Ons eerste pro-

jek is op 12 Maart van stapel gestuur waar-tydens ons boomtakke gesnoei het, omdat dit dikwels tot gevolg het dat talle straatligte en kragdrade buite werking is.

Gedurende fase 1 het ons ŉ totaal van nege bakkie- en waentjievragte se takke afgesny en weggery,” het Hillel Coetzer, voorsitter van die Standerton-tak, gesê.

“Fase 2, wat die skoonmaak van die dorp se begraafplaas behels, sal eersdaags van stapel gestuur word,” het Coetzer bygevoeg.

“Ons gaan die rekening vir die onkoste van hierdie projek vir Lekwa Plaaslike Munisi-paliteit aanstuur,” het Chris Boshoff, AfriFo-rum se assistentkoördineerder vir Mpuma-langa, gesê. JD

STANDERTON - An employee broke into his boss’ workshop and stole tools in order to make a quick buck. When the shop owner and some of his staff members arrived for work on Friday, 11 March, they were greeted by a wide open main door at a store in Factory Street in the industrial area.

The owner suspected one employee who had been absent from work since the be-ginning of the week.

On his way to open a case of business burglary at Standerton Police Station, he spotted the employee next to the railway station. When the man saw his boss he acted suspicious. The boss immediately called the SAPS, but before they arrived,

the man had run away. The shop owner followed him until police arrived. The 25-year-old suspect was searched by po-lice and found keys for the business vehi-cle in his pocket. He was taken to the Po-lice Station for questioning where he con-fessed that he broke into the workshop. He reportedly led the police to an abandoned house next to the railway station where all the stolen goods were recovered from in-side the ceiling.

The shop owner positively identified the goods and the suspect was arrested on a charge of business burglary.

The SAPS confirmed that the suspect was due to appear in court on Monday, 14 March. DM

PERDEKOP - Improving access to high quality education and training is one of the key strategic priorities of Gert Sibande TVET College. In an effort to expand its footprint to the rural areas of the province, the college recently opened a new campus in Perdekop that offers Office Administration and Primary Agriculture.

The new Perdekop Campus was an initiative of the community of Perdekop that became a reality due to the support of the Premier of Mpumalanga, Honourable DD Mabuza.

A gazette was published in December 2015 that pronounced the closure of Perdekop Agriculture School. Gert Sibande TVET College will phase in more programmes as the school phases out its programmes. Most teachers from the school will be transferred to the college over the next few years.

The Campus began enrolling students in January and reached its full capacity on the second day of registration. This was made possible by the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) bursary scheme which enables students from poor homes “fee-free education”. In total, 160 students were enrolled. Gert Sibande

TVET College seeks to meet the demands of industry, business and all employees by offering relevant and responsive programmes. Primary Agriculture is one of the courses that is in demand in Mpumalanga due to the fact that many parts of the province are farming areas. Primary Agriculture will afford many young people the opportunity to become involved in agriculture.

The news of the new campus spread like wildfire. Prospective students from as far as Nelspruit came to enquire about the new campus that was offering a course in Primary Agriculture. Mthokozisi Mbatha, a level 2 Primary Agriculture student, came all the way from Middelburg to enrol for Primary Agriculture. “Agriculture is something that is in the family and I have a passion for it. It’s something I wanted to do from a very young age and when I heard that Gert Sibande TVET College is offering it, I told myself I am going to register at the college,” Mthokozisi said.

Buhle Mtolo, a level 2 Primary Agriculture student from Volksrust, also said she was excited when she heard that Gert Sibande TVET College will be opening a new campus in Perdekop that will offer Primary Agriculture.

Fee-free tertiary education in Perdekop“I am happy to be part of the new campus that is offering a new course,” Buhle said.

Mr William Mputi was assigned to manage the campus. Mr Mputi voiced his appreciation to the Department of Basic Education, who supports this project. He pledged that with the support of all stakeholders, Perdekop Campus will become the leading agricultural campus in South Africa. JD

STANDERTON - Khan’s Angling and Cycling was the reason for much excitement among local anglers this past weekend when the business hosted a massive fishing expo on 19 March, featuring interesting guest speakers and activities aimed at enlightening local enthusiasts about the products offered at the store.

The event brought together representatives of kykNET’s popular angling program ‘Hier Gaan Ons Alweer’ and two of the Khan’s Angling and Cycling’s biggest product ranges – ‘Super Cast’ and ‘Sensation’ – to share their knowledge and top tips with those present. Schalk van Breda, founder of Super Cast, was first to address the eager participants. He spoke about the more basic components of angling as a sport, such as the proper length of the rod, the colour of the line and different types of bait.

Petri de Wet, the angling expert of ‘Hier Gaan Ons Alweer’, began his presentation by inviting all the participants to pose whatever questions they had. Pieter Alberts, a Gr 8 pupil, wanted to know more about De Wet’s carp fishing techniques.

De Wet explained that carp are usually found at the bottom, ‘vacuuming’ the dam floor for any source of protein. They literally suck and expel the dirt, creating dirt clouds in the water in which to feed. These clouds attract other fish to the so-called ‘feeding ground’ and thereby creating the ideal opportunity for any angler.

De Wet explained that carp are fun to fish in shallow water, as the line can literally be cast in front of the fish’s nose while it is “vacuuming the floor.” His technique is to wait for the fish to suck the hook with the dirt and then to pull the line and reel the fish out of the water. He, however, cautioned the participants that this technique is very precise and takes practise to perfect, but it is very enjoyable.

The group then advanced to a special casting session set-up by the representatives of Sensation at a nearby field. The team prepared several rods with tennis balls attached to the lines in order to test the local angler’s skills. It was here that the experts showed the participants how to correctly cast their lines and even held a competition to see who were the most accurate.

The expo ended on a very positive note and had every local angler satisfied – even those who had come as far as Parys and Vryheid. Van Breda urged everyone to download the Dream Cast app as a tool for different bait combinations and other handy tips when professional advice isn’t available and advised local angling enthusiasts to experiment with different bait combinations in order to get accustomed with different fishing methods.

Khan’s Angling and Cycling is located at 34 Vry Street, Standerton, where Super Cast and Sensation products are available. Feel free to phone them at 017 712 1783 for more information about these top-notch products. DK

ERMELO - “My droom is om eendag voltyds in afrigting te wees, maar meer as dit om ‘n verskil in elke speler se lewe te maak.” Dít was Cobus van Dyk se woorde nadat die Mpumalanga Hoërskole-rugbyvereniging verlede week bekendgemaak het dat hy as hoofafrigter van die Puma-Cravenweekrugbyspan vir 2016 aangewys is.

Van Dyk is ‘n onderwyser aan Hoërskool Ermelo en het sy rugbyloopbaan as speler tydens sy skooljare in Christiana, Noordwes, afgeskop. Hy het sélf in sy o-13- en o-18-jaar Cravenweekspan gehaal en later, tydens sy studentejare aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat, vir die Vrystaatse o-19- en o-21-span uitgedraf. ‘n Hoogtepunt was toe hy vir die universiteit se Varsitybekerspan, die Shimlas, gespeel het.

Op akademiese gebied het Van Dyk sy B.Ed-onderwysgraad tussen 2003 en 2006 voltooi, waarna hy in 2007 by Hoërskool Hoogenhout in Bethal as onderwyser aangesluit het. Van Dyk het toe sy rugbyloopbaan hervat en in 2008, onder afrigter Jimmy Stonehouse, sy Vodacombekerdebuut vir die Pumas

gemaak. Hy het daarna verskeie kere vir die Puma-amateurspan uitgedraf en later sy visier op afrigting gerig.

Hy het as spanbestuurder by die Puma-skolespanne begin, homself opgewerk en is nou vir die afgelope nege jaar by Puma-skolerugby betrokke. “Ek onthou nog baie goed hoe ek as spanbestuurder gesit en kyk het hoe verskillende spanne tydens die provinsiale weke oefen en hoe ek altyd álles neergeskryf het en myself so nóg meer bemagtig het,” het Van Dyk vertel.

Van Dyk, sy vrou en twee kinders woon al vir die afgelope drie jaar in Ermelo en is hy tans onderwyser en eerstespanafrigter aan Hoërskool Ermelo. Hy het tydens sy verblyf in Ermelo sy B.Ed-honneursgraad deur die Noordwes-Universiteit voltooi en beklee nou ook die posisie van departementshoof van ekonomiese- en bestuurswetenskap by Hoërskool Ermelo.

Wat hierdie nuwe hoofstuk in sy Puma-loopbaan betref, is dit Van Dyk se doel om die provinsie se rugbytalent na die beste van sy vermoë te dien. “Wanneer ek die Puma’s verteenwoordig, haal ek my skolehoed af.” DK

SECUNDA - Die Suid-Afrikaanse Stoeiproewe vir die Kadet- en Ju-niorafdelings het op Saterdag, 19 Maart, in Kaapstad plaasgevind.

Twee van Sasol Stoeiklub se stoeiers, Nathan Webb en Nico van den Berg, het aan dié stoeiproewe deelgeneem.Nathan Webb het in die Kadet Grieks-Romeinse afdeling deelgeneem maar was ge-noodsaak om later weens ‘n besering te onttrek aan die proewe.

Nico van den Berg het in Junior Vry-styl en Grieks-Romeinse-afdelings deel-

geneem. In die vrystel-afdeling het Nico een wedstryd verloor en tweede geëin-dig. In die Grieks-Romeinse-afdeling het Nico al sy wedstryde gewen en eerste geëindig.

Mnr Johan van den Berg was afrig-ter vir die Mpumalanga-span en me Elma Webb was spanbestuurder vir die Mpumalanga-stoeispan. Mnr Manie van die Berg was die Suid-Afrikaanse Stoei-toernooi-sekretaris en Me Lollie van den Berg was administratiewe beampte, vir loting. JD
