Grondleggers van landbou in Letaba word vereer

GTM remains tightlipped after we presented them with specific media inquiries

Deafening silence

Dinsdagaand het AgriLetaba baan-brekers in landbou uit die Mopani-omgewing spesiaal vereer. Dit is die eerste keer dat soiets gedoen word. Op bladsy 5 is ‘n volledige berig hi-

eroor, wat ook die kriteria wat ge-bruik is, verduidelik. Een persoon, wyle mnr Dries Bruwer van Let-sitele, is postuum vereer. Hierbo is mnre Philé van Zyl, Abraham van

Rooyen, Louis Vorster, Dr Theo de Jager, mnre Attie Bester, Edward Vorster, Piet Warren en Tommie van Zyl. Links is me Amanda Vor-ster wat vir haar tyd as destydse

sekretaresse van die Letabaskou benoem is. Die eerste skou is vol-gens notules reeds in 1913 onder die vaandel van die Low Country Agricultural Society gehou.

Die groot vrag kratte met vars geplukte mango’s van Westfalia het onverklaar-baar begin skuif en uiteindelik van die

vragmotor geval, by die afrit na Politsi. Werkers was gou op die toneel om te

herwin wat wel herwinbaar was.

1. On or about 27 February 2014 the GTM purchased 23 Samsung tablets at

R5 999,00 each, for a total of R137 977,00 from Game Tzaneen. Could you

kindly respond to the following questions regarding this purchase:

1.1 Did the GTM call for quotes and if so from how many suppliers and who?

1.2 Was the price per tablet the best price possible?

1.3 Was there any urgency for obtaining these tablets and if so, for what

reason(s)?

1.4 Who would be issued with these tablets?

1.5 For what purpose would the tablets be used?

1.6 Could you offer a motivation why this was needed by the GTM, and also how

it is anticipated that these items would improve service by officials and

service delivery by the GTM.

2. Kindly state how many lap top computers are owned by the GTM, what amount

of capital has been spent on buying these computers, when last has a lap top

been bought, who are using these lap tops (how many councillors and how many

officials) and what benefit(s) can be shown as a result of the use of lap tops?

We would appreciate your response before 16:00 today (05 March 2014)..

After reassurance of their intention and willingness to respond to our enquiries, especially since they (GTM) vehemently denied the story of the Samsung Tablets that they allegedly bought for R137 977 from Game, it all came to nought at the time of going to press. Read the full story on page 5.

The contract with TNT for rendering certain administrative functions for the GTM’s

traffic department has run out and no new agreement has been reached with a

supplier/contractor for a similar service. The following questions thus arise:

1. If nobody is rendering this service, it simply means that the administration in the

GTM’s traffic department has come to a standstill. Can you dispute this?

2. What is being done to remedy the situation?

3. What could it cost the GTM in loss of income, since traffic fines will not be

processed and thus not paid?

4. The camera(s) used to set up speed traps in the jurisdiction of the GTM can no

longer be used. Please confirm or deny.

In mid-2012 the Bulletin asked the GTM”s traffic chief for a copy of the GTM’s traffic

plan, especially for Tzaneen town. He admitted that there was no plan, but stated

categoricially that his dep[artment would start working on one. On 5 February 2013

we asked for a progress report on this matter, but our enquiry was ignored. We

asked again on 17 June and when we asked for the third time on 11 September,

your spokesperson, Mr Neville Nlala, informed us that the plan was completed and

waiting for council’s approval. We have since been made to belief that it was blatant

lie and that there is still no plan.

Your comments please. Was a lie told? What is being done about a traffic plan?

No architectural design was handed in at the GTM for approval of the new regional ANC offices in Tzaneen. If this is not true, can you put it on record that it is just a rumor? If this is true, could it be explained why the exception has been allowed?7.

Could a breakdown of the legal costs incurred regarding the Claude Wheatley contract’s (Makgetsi) cancellation be supplied?It is noticed that (old) trees in town are being cut from time to time, we notice Tzaneen’s cycad population shrinking and we don’t see much, if anything, being done about planting new trees/cycads/palms/plants. Does the GTM’s parks department has a master plan? If so, may we have a copy?

Vlieg kan maar net wens dat hy ook ‘n deskundige was. Vlieg was wel een aand, lank gelede, ‘n dawnkundige! Dit was nogal ‘n lekker partytjie êrens in ‘n restaurant, in die dae toe Des en Dawn nog baie optredes gedoen het. Dit was vir Vlieg te lekker dat tannie Dawn in ‘n stadium op sy skoot kom sit het. Dit het nie gelyk of oom Des omgegee het nie. Maar van die res van die aand kan Vlieg nie so baie onthou nie.

Hy onthou wel dat hy die volgende dag nogal olik was, seker iets geëet die aand wat al ‘n bietjie af was! Maar dit het eintlik nou niks met die saak te doen nie.

Vlieg dink dit moet nogal lekker wees om ‘n ware deskundige te wees. Om so ‘n wye kennis, insig en ervaring van ‘n vakgebied te hê, moet darem regtig bevredigend wees. Gee ou Vlieg darem wat hy toekom. In sy lyn van wetenskap is hy nou nie heeltemal ‘n nul op ‘n kontrak nie, maar hy sou die eerste wees om te erken dat deskundige nou nie die beste woord

is om hom te beskryf nie. Hy probeer maar.

Anders as Vlieg, natuurlik, is ene professor Gert Zaayman nou iemand wat ‘n deskundige genoem kan word. Voor vandeesweek het g’n mens, behalwe Vlieg, geweet wie die man is nie. Vir die een of twee lesers wat nog nie weet wie hy is nie, word

wakker! Daar is nou ‘n man van inbors.Dit mag dalk nie as ‘n verrassing kom vir

gereelde Vlieg-lesers nie, maar ten spyte daarvan dat ‘n plaaslike regsgeleerde op Loopstraat wil gaan en sy eie klas-aksie teen Vlieg wil instel, is Vlieg, veral nou, nie regtig ‘n groot bewonderaar van regsgeleerdes nie. Daarom dat Vlieg hom nogal daarin kan verlustig as een van hulle ‘n slag behoorlik op sy moer kry.

En so was dit dan v.i. (Vlieg Insiens) vandeesweek daar in die hogere hof met ene advokaat Barry Roux. Nee wat, ou advokaatjie, jy het nog baie om te leer. Met ‘n man soos Gert Zaayman gaan jy nie ploeg nie.

Jy gaan hom ook nie boelie nie.Lanklaas was Vlieg so beindruk met iemand

soos dié proffie. Nie net het hy met absolute gesag oor sy vakgebied getuig nie, maar hy het homself gehandhaaf as ‘n man van oortuiging, en die etiek en waardigheid van die mediese beroep gestand gedoen.

Die probleem met deskundiges egter, die prof uitgesluit, is dat die meeste van hulle nie is nie. Hulle dink misien hulle is, maar allermins.

So dink Vlieg se maaiers en papies soms hulle is deskundiges in die dissiplinering van maaiers en papies. Die meeste deskundiges is maar soos Vlieg se skoonbrommer. Hulle dink hulle is deskundiges oor alles. Amper soos Bloubul-ondersteuners, maar darem nie heeltemal so erg nie.

Intussen kan Vlieg maar net aanhou wens dat hierdie soort deskundiges, in plein Afrikaans, net hul bekke hou!

Gee daai Zaayman ‘n klok!

Significant sal-ary increases, repairs, main-tenance and depreciation of Eskom’s tariff for bulk purchases are the main items that have de-manded a

budget of R933 million for the Great-er Tzaneen Municipality for the new 2014/2015 financial year.

The GTM’s mayor, Ms Dikeledi Mme-tle, said an amount of R844 million has been made available for the operation-al budget, when she tabled the budget during a special council meeting at Bokgaga. She pointed out that the budget shows an increase of R77 mil-lion over the 2013/14 financial year.

Mmetle said the increase in income will come from an increase in service charges and external grants from the central government. The property rates are to increase by 5,6%, while the tariffs for consumptive based ser-vices such as solid waste, water and sanitation are all to increase by 6%. Electricity is to go up by 7,39%.

Mmetle said the total revenue budget includes an amount of R236 million representing the equitable share allocation to the GTM.

According to her, an amount of R77 million will be levied by way of property tax and R431 million will be sourced from user charges. National al-locations to fund operational activities amount to R4,6 million, which includes the Finance Management Grant of R1,6 million, the Municipal Systems Im-provement Grant of R934 000 and the Extended Public Works Programme (EPWP) Grant of R2 million.

The expenditure amount also in-cludes R251 million for salaries, R122 million for repairs and maintenance and R269 million for the purchase of bulk electricity and water.

“In terms of percentage, staff cost — which includes salaries and employ-ee benefits — will be 30,8% which is within the 35% maximum set by national treasury,” she said. Bulk purchases make up 30,1% of the total expenditure and repairs and mainte-nance constitute 18,2%. The remain-ing 9,3% of the budget will be allocat-ed for general expenses.

“Infrastructure development is crit-

ical if we are to achieve our dream of transforming our town into a city in the next sixteen years. Infrastructure development is an economic driver; it creates employment during the project and even years afterwards. An amount of R173 million has been allocated for capital expenditure for the 2014/2015 financial year. This amount includes the Municipal In-frastructure Grant allocation of R83 million which will be spent on roads, sport and recreational facilities, as well as an amount of R18,5 million which represents counter funding on MIG Projects. Capital from own sources amounts to R65 million,” she announced.

Mmetle further explained that as the Mopani District Municipality is the water services authority, the GTM is the water service provider and under the Service Level Agreement, Tzaneen operates and manages sev-eral water and waste water works.

Three of the water treatment plants in the GTM’s jurisdiction have been given Blue Drop status, meaning that the water is clean enough to drink.

Soos enige tienermeisie sien Charlotte Snyman uit na haar matriekjaar aan die Hoërskool Merensky. Sy beplan haar rok vir die matriekafskeid en sien uit daarna om volgende jaar verder te gaan studeer.

Maar Charlotte is nie soos enige ander tienermeisie nie. Sy is met kongenitale katarakte gebore, wat versoorsaak dat haar sig grootliks belemmer word. Dit keer egter nie dié agtienjarige nie.

Haar glimlag is breed en die positiwiteit, optimisme en ambisie straal by haar uit — al kan sy net buitelyne/profiele/silhouette/skaduwees sien.

Volgens haar pa, mnr Deon Snyman, moes die katarakte verwyder word toe sy nog net ‘n baba was. “Die katarakte moes so gou moontlik verwyder word, sodat lig kan deurkom en die retinas kon ontwikkel. Die betrokke oogarts by die Ooginstituut in Pretoria het destyds nie geglo dat lense oorgeplant moes word nie. Ek het vir ‘n jaar lank gesukkel om kontaklense in ‘n baba se oë te kry,” sê hy.

“Nadat ons ‘n ander dokter geraadpleeg het, het dié egter besluit dat lense oorgeplant kan word, en Charlotte kry nou permanente gloukoom-behandeling.”

Charlotte sê dit het nie altyd so

maklik gegaan nie en op laerskool is sy dikwels gespot. “Nie al die kinders het verstaan wat die probleem is nie. Maar ek is trots om te weet wie ek is en waar ek nou is.”

Sy is ook trots om te kan sê dat sy die afgelope twee jaar ‘n Plasie is. Sy praat met groot lof van die onderwysers wat haar bystaan en motiveer. “My ouers wou my

eers na Prinshof in Pretoria stuur, maar ek is bly ek is ‘n

Plasie. Ek skryf nie toetse en eksamens saam met die ander kinders nie en ek kry ook ekstra tyd. Die

vraestelle word ook vir my vergroot,” sê Charlotte.

Soos enige tienermeisie het sy ook meer as

een passie in die lewe. Nie net maak

sy deel uit van die Presidensiële

Toekenningspan nie, maar sy wil ook graag terapeuties met diere werk.

Haar eerste liefde is fotografie, maar weens haar sig, is dit nie moontlik nie. “Ek oorweeg dit om ‘n kleuterskoolonderwyseres te word, soos my ma Christa. Ek speel baie graag ook met my honde, as ek tyd daarvoor kry.”

Charlotte sê sy bestee die meeste van haar tyd aan haar skoolwerk en is gefokus om haar laaste skooljaar ten volle te geniet. “Ek kan nie nou konsentrasie verloor nie, ek moet seker maak my skoolwerk is op datum.”

Diewe het verlede Vrydagnag by die kantoor van die toetsterrein in Tzaneen ingebreek, maar swak beplanning aan hul kant het die poging klaaglik laat misluk.

Die inbrekers het van bo deur die dak en plafon toegang gekry en die veiligheidskameras buite aksie gestel, sê mnr André Liversage, die hoof van die lisensieafdeling van die GTM.

‘n Sekuriteitsogie wat die drie kluise in die gebou bewaak, kon nie sy werk doen nie omdat dit deur stapels lêers toegepak was. Die inbrekers het twee kluise met kantsnyers oopgesny, maar dit was leeg. Die “groot” geld was in die derde kluis. Ongelukkig vir die skelms was hul snylemme gedaan en hulle moes padgee. Die skade aan die twee kluise was egter nagenoeg R100 000 en die toetsterrein moes twee dae vir die publiek gesluit word, om die nodige herstelwerk te doen.

Wat vir Liversage egter ‘n raaisel bly, is dat die sekuriteitswagte aan diens nie ‘n geluid gehoor het nie. “Daardie kantsnyers (“angle grinders”) is groot en maak ‘n

oorverdowende geraas. Daarby laat dit vonke in alle rigtings spat. Watter soort sekuriteitswagte was so horende doof?”

Northern Security (wie se alarmstelsel deur die ogie geaktivieer moes word) se besturende direkteur, mnr Kobus Naudé, kon nie sê of die sekuriteitsogie kwaadwillig of agtelosig toegepak was nie. Hy waarsku maatskappye nietemin om te sorg dat sulke ogies steeds funksioneel bly, wanneer meubels of kluise in kantore gerangskik word.

Dit klink vir hom ook snaaks dat die twee wagte aan diens niks gewaar of gehoor het nie. Boonop was hulle in teenstelling met die vereistes nie in sekuriteitsdrag geklee nie en hy het verneem dat hulle ook nie deur die polisie ondervra is nie.

‘n Navraag by die polisie se woordvoerder in Tzaneen, kol Moatshe Ngoepe, oor die voorval het niks opgelewer nie. Hy het Maandag gesê “ek het geen inligting hieroor ontvang nie” en Woensdagmiddag het hy ons opvolgnavraag beantwoord met “vra die GTM wat gebeur het”.

Raaisels soek antwoorde na inbraakLINKS is die leë brandkluis wat deur die inbrekers met ‘n kantsnyer oopgesny is en ONDER is die plafon

waardeur hulle gebreek het.

About a thousand members of the community from various parts of Sekororo protested to put pressure on the government to speed up the construction of the shopping mall which they said would create jobs for local people.

The community from Loraine in Sekororo said the government had been going at a slow pace ever since the process of building three malls started more than a year ago.

The people took to the streets and blocked the main road to Tzaneen with burning tyres, trees and rocks. They also want the department of education to start building new classrooms at Khudu High school, because learning and teaching are disrupted during rains and bad weather. The roof of the school was destroyed by a storm in 2011.

Die eerste AgriLetaba Gala-erkenningsaand is die week by die Junction in Letsitele ge-hou, waar leiers in landbou vir hul bydraes aan die landbousektor vereer is.

Die seremoniemeester, mnr Dries Enslin (uitgetrede voorsitter van AgriLetaba), het gesê AgriLetaba is vanjaar 101 jaar oud. Hy sê daar is besluit om van die mense wat ge-help het om die Laeveld die afgelope jare te tem, erkenning te gee.

“Nege benoemings is ontvang van mense wat die landbougemeenskap uniek maak en wat baie vir die omgewing gedoen het of steeds doen. Die kriteria waarop die benoem-des beoordeel is, het op drie punte berus:

• Die bydrae wat die persoon tot die pro-duserende landboubedryf gemaak het;

• Hoe die persoon bygedra het tot die uit-bou van die Letabaskou, wat beskou word as die beste plattelandse skou in die land, en

• Hoe die persoon bo die res uitstaan en

Tzaneen en AgriLetaba se beeld uitdra en kwaliteit eerder as kwantiteit lewer,” het hy gesê.

Spesiale toekennings is deur mnr Pie-ter Vorster, die voorsitter van AgriLetaba, aan mnre Abraham van Rooyen van die Roy-al Group Africa (wat Du Roi insluit), Louis Vorster van Westfalia Fruit, Philé en Tom-mie van Zyl van ZZ2, Dr Theo de Jager van AgriSA, mnre Edward Vorster van Mahe-la Boerdery en Piet Warren van Gravelotte Wildprodusente oorhandig. Die toekenning is ook postuum aan wyle mnr Dries Bruwer gemaak en mnre Philé van Zyl, Attie Bester en me Amanda Vorster is vereer vir hul by-draes aan die Letabaskou.

Dr Ernst Janovski, ‘n landbou-ekonoom, was die gasspreker. Enslin het intussen na Kimberley verhuis.

Deafening silence from the GTM...

Sekororo protest about

shopping malls

The Bulletin has failed to get the GTM to respond to writ-ten questions regarding the alleged purchase of 23 (actually 24) Samsung tablets from Game, as well as our enquiries in connection with the traffic plan for Tzaneen and a few other matters (as can be seen of the front page).

We addressed the written enquiries to the municipal manag-er and the GTM’s official spokesman (Mr Neville Ndlala) on Wednesday last week. On Friday he called to explain that our e-mails had landed in his Junk Mail. On Monday we spoke again, when he told us that they will respond to our enquiries, but found it difficult to respond to the one regarding the tab-

lets, since it was not the truth. We invited him to say so in writ-ing and to supply us with the facts, which he undertook to do.

Ndlala called again on Tuesday to confirm the deadline and again we assured him that we would grant them a fair op-portunity to respond, as long as it would be before 16:30 on Wednesday. He again confirmed that they would forward the relevant information.

Susequent to that telephone call, which we have on record, we have not heard from the GTM or received any feedback.

In the mean time we have been informed that the GTM ac-tually bought 24 tablets from Game, but they first took deliv-

ery of 23 and later received the 24 th one, since Game only had 23 in stock.

In connection with our previous enquiries in 2012 regard-ing the traffic plan for Tzaneen, we have been informed by yet another party that it was a blatant lie to tell us that the plan has been drawn up and that final confirmation from the council was to follow.

Three councillors from different political parties have assured us that no traffic plan has been submitted for council’s approval.

Whereto?John P Watson from Tza-neen writes by e-mail: Thank you for the way in which you condemned and rejected the taking back by Central Govern-ment of R1,3 billion from Limpopo. The fact that our provincial govern-ment is too maladroit to spend money given to them on a plate, is too sad for words.

Whilst Limpopo’s ser-vice delivery problems are huge, the provincial government sit and don’t invest money in much needed services.

What I would like to know is: Can you tell us how this amount was sup-posed to have been spent?• Yes, we can disclose the following information re-garding the unspent grant from Central Government: Limpopo Roads: R637,459m (R449,74m to Free State and R187,719m to North-ern Cape); Limpopo Hous-ing: R644m (R230m to Free State, R207,9m to Northern Cape, R32,1m to Western Cape, R57m to KZN and R117m to North West); Limpopo Library Services: R5,967m (R1,483m to Free State, R3m to Gauteng and R1,484m to Western Cape) — Publisher

LeuensKewp Roos skryf op Bul-letin se Facebook-blad: Ek wil my lyf “Vlieg” hou hier, en sê dat daar mense is wat leuens versprei oor die Goue Jare Tehuis vir bejaardes. Daarom sal ek graag hier wil sê (en ook nie omgee as dit publiseer word nie) dat ek die tehuis gereeld besoek, aangesien my skoonma reeds die af-gelope 3 jaar daar bly.

Ek het gesien ‘n groepie bejaardes sit op een hopie en takel die plek verskrik-lik af, maar het my nie

regtig aan die “ou-mensgeite” gesteur nie, daar die goed waaroor hulle gekla het nie vir my sin ge-maak het nie.

My bevinding van die tehuis is, die bejaardes kry goeie, gesonde en smaak-lik voorbereide etes.

Mense soos my skoon-ma, wat haarself nie kan help nie, nie kan loop nie, ensovoorts, word met liefde versorg. Die plek word skoongemaak en is netjies. Die personeel is bekwaam en vriendelik.

Ek weet daar is instansies, boere van die omgewing en sommer mense wat omgee wat donasies maak, en glo my, dis baie nodig, want dit is nie goedkoop om sulke instansies aan die gang te hou nie. Ek beveel aan dat mense vergelykings tref, dan sal hulle sien dat die tehuis, in ‘n rustige om-gewing dalk een van die beter oorde vir ons ouers is.

Onthou dat net soos met jonger mense, jy altyd ook tussen die ouer garde mense kry wat met niks tevrede is nie! Moenie oordeel op hoorsê voor-dat julle nie ondersoek gedoen het nie. Van ‘n baie tevrede skoondogter!• Kan ook wees dat waar ‘n rokie trek, ‘n vuurtjie brand. Ons het inligting waarop ons nou kommentaar moet kry, wat daarop dui dat al-les dalk nie so kosjer is by dié tehuis nie — Uitgewer

Ons Mening Die Boodskap

Years10

Die begrotingDie begroting vir die Groter Tzaneen Mu-nisipaliteit se nuwe geldjaar is ter tafel gelê, deur ‘n burgemeester wat die indruk laat dat sy en haar span in hul skik is hiermee.

Natuurlik sal hulle tevrede wees, want met omstrede uitgawes, soos vir salarisse, is hulle mos binne die perke wat deur die sentrale regering gestel word. Solank hulle binne dié reëls speel, is alles aanvaarbaar.

Die sentrale regering stel egter ‘n swak voorbeeld, want hulle is die land se hoof-verkwisters, dit is uit die sentrale regering (regerende party) se optrede dat korrupsie aanvaar word (veral as mens na hul kan-didatelys vir die komende verkiesing kyk) en die sentrale regering weet net van be-sparing as dit die belastingbetalers betref.

Dit is ons, die mense wat deur sweet die regering se beursie moet vul, wat moet be-spaar — sodat daar genoeg is vir die staat in al sy vorms van regering om te mors of te laat verdwyn in selfverryking.

Tzaneen se burgemeester droom oor Tza-neen wat teen die jaar 2030 ‘n stad moet wees. Sy moet egter pasop dat dit nie ‘n nagmerrie word nie, want soos infrastruk-tuur tans afgeskeep word, sal alles nuut gebou moet word nog lank voor 2030.

Daar is geen verkeersplan vir Tzaneen nie (al beweer sommiges in die GTM daar is een), die dorp se rioolplaas leef op ge-leende tyd, die strate en sypaadjies verval, daar blyk geen plan vir die parke-afdeling te wees nie, bouregulasies word nie kon-sekwent toegepas nie (dink maar aan die ANC se nuwe streekshoofkantoor), ge-sondheidsregulasies word uiters selektief en diskriminerend toegepas, ensovoorts.

Tzaneen is alles behalwe ‘n dorp wat goed bestuur word, met die oog op ‘n beter toekoms vir die inwoners.

In ons daaglikse gang beland ons soms onver wags in ontstellende en dreigende probleme. H O van Gilder vertel van `n werksman wat by `n bou pro jek betrokke was en soms tot laataand moes werk.

Op die kant van `n muur, etlike verdie-pings hoog, verloor hy op ‘n keer sy ba lans en glip van die muur af. Hy kry egter reg om die kant van die muur met sy vingers vas te gryp. Daar hang hy. Onder is dit donker. As iemand hom tog net raaksien! Hy skreeu om hulp, maar sy stem word oordonder deur die gedreun van masjiene.

Hy voel sy arms word lam en sy vingers dreig om hul greep op die muur se kant te verloor. Hy probeer bid, maar geen won-derwerk vind plaas nie. Uiteindelik glip sy lam vingers van hul greep op die muur los en met `n snik van ontsteltenis val hy — net drie duim ver. Hy land op `n steier wat al langs die muur opgerig was en wat hy in die donker nie kon sien nie.

In ons daaglikse ervaringe en ook in ons gees telike belewinge, kom ons in situasies wanneer ons des peraat raak en voel ons moet met ons vingers vas klem aan wat ons het. Van Gilder skryf: “How like a lot of Christians! Conscious of their weakness and aware of dangers, are fearful, anxious and un happy most of the time: yet under-neath, all the while, are the everlasting arms of a faihful, loving and all-powerful Saviour — our Lord Jesus Christ, willing and able to save and assist us.” Is dit nie Jesus wat self in Matteus 14:27 gesê het: “Wees gerus, dit is Ek. Moenie bang wees nie!”

Moenie bang wees nie

Dit is nie ‘n vars reeks fo-to’s nie. Trouens, die voor-val dateer terug na 2010, toe Durban ook deur erge vloedreëns ontwrig is. Ons het egter gedink die fo-to’s, wat destyds deur die Times gepubliseer is, is treffend en kan ons mense herinner aan hoeveel erger dit by ons kon gewees het (dink maar aan Lephalale wat vroeër dié week ‘n ei-land was, afgesny van die

buitewêreld).

• Die ou groot karnallie se groot belangstelling het be-gin by palms, toe skuif dit na beeste, volgende was dit hout en bome en deesdae is dit inge-nieurswerk…• Die olifant se slaapplek is deesdae glo al hoe meer bedry-wig, veral so van tien uur in die aand se kant. Dan sien mens kort rokkies, lang slap motors, beursies wat bult, paartjies wat stil-stil wegsluip na gerieflike liefdeshoekies…• Daar is nou ‘n ander geneuk met die dat die skouterrein nie meer deurnag so toeganklik is nie. Ou Bertman sal nou ‘n ander skelm vryplekkie moet gaan soek…• Wat is dit dan met die mid-deljarige manne, dié wat al sterk grys begin raak hier langs die slape, dat hulle so motor-fietsmal is. Daar gaan staan en verskeur die man van die Ooste sy hele een been se spiere en senings en wie weet wat nog. Weens ‘n motorfiets wat nie eens beweeg het nie! Ai, ai, Mr J, jy moet versigtig wees. Maar Mr J is dapper en vat sy teen-spoed lag-lag. Die mense hoor egter dit is ‘n perd van ‘n gans ander kleur met ‘n ander Heer op ‘n motorfiets, want die spier wat hy gaan skeur of verrek is nie so alledaags nie en dokters is maar bekommerd oor hoe dié sal herstel…• Daar broei iets nie herderlik nie tussen twee predikers en

dit kan maklik oorkook. Dit klink so baie na ‘n priesterlike turksvy. Maar die mense moe-nie rasie nie, daar’s hoop dat sake reggeruk sal word…• En as sake nie regkom nie, is daar glo hoop dat St Edward en die Mothering Mountains mense tot stilte kan aanspoor om nuwe hoop te vind...• Die mense hoor die dame wat vrou-alleen die GTM se begroting goed-/afkeur raak problematies, want sy is ‘n bedreiging vir die hoofleier (-leidster). Asof ta’ Helen nie genoeg moeilikheid het met die Doktor, die pasiënt, die presi-dent, die koukus, die boere, die plakkers, die plaasarbeiders, die hengelaars, die adjunk-minister, die donateurs, die rooi barette en nog ‘n keer die president nie, kom krap die al-bino’s nou ook in haar slaai…• Die toppunt van onbeholpen-heid is as ‘n man in jou Mahin-dra drie keer op dieselfde entjie pad — byna op een en dieselfde plek op die pad — vasval. Nie bietjie nie, nee, sommer so dat die Mahindra op sy pens lê en die wieletjies in die lug tol. Dis nie alle baristas wat in Formule 1 geskool is nie; of al in Suid-Amerika aan daardie tydren ter tydrenne deelgeneem het nie. Nog bietjie oefen, Willem...• Ook onse mense praat nou baie oor die man en sy proste-ses. Al hoe meer mense begin praat oor die prostesemaker...

A nation without a past has no future and a nation should preserve cultures that are un-der threat of disappearing. Jürgen Witt is fighting for this and for the preservation of the Tzaneen Museum. He says that neither the present nor previous governments are in the slightest interested in respecting African culture.

Witt (83) still walks with purpose albeit with a walking stick. He’s had a sixty year passion for vanishing and current African culture in the form of art. The Greater Tzaneen Munic-ipality established the Tzaneen Museum in 1995. Witt was made Curator and his life’s collection is housed in the Museum.

He gave a brief outline of his life. His forefa-thers came from Danzig (now Gdansk), in the once Prussian heartland. The family estate was confiscated by the League of Nations af-ter WW1 and became the property of Poland. Witt was born in Charlottenburg near Berlin. Under East German rule he was prohibited from tertiary education.

He went to Sweden in 1947 where he met his German wife, Hilda. He visited South Af-rica and Tzaneen for the first time in 1952. He wanted to see his uncle who had a tea plan-tation in Tanzania. The uncle lost the planta-tion and returned to Germany, after trying in vain to recoup the farm from the British Gov-

ernment. Hilda, who had been studying lan-guages in Spain, came out to join him. They married in the Swed-ish Lutheran Church in Johannesburg in 1957. The couple lived in Johannesburg and he worked for the Ger-man Research Council as a scientific assistant — and with Professor Otto Fränzle from Kiel University in the field of archaeology, ethnol-ogy and early history. He has also penned publications for a mu-seum in Paris, France, and the Linden Muse-um in Stuttgart, Ger-many.

The couple has three adult children who all went to university. Harald is a lecturer at the University of Natal, Arne is an entomolo-gist in Nairobi, respon-sible for Asia, the West Indies and Africa and Renate is married and lives in Tzaneen.

The Witt family moved to Tzaneen in 1960 with the aim to establish a museum of rare

bygone and current African treasures. The GTM bought Mr Witt’s first collection, ethno-logical and archaeolog-ical treasures from the area, for R7 000. There are 200 archaeological sites between Tzaneen and the Indian Ocean. This entailed a consid-erable amount of walk-ing and Witt got per-mission to move freely within that country. Most people were re-stricted in those days.

The Tzaneen Council sold Witt’s collection to the University of Potchefstroom. When the relevant profes-sor wished to sell the collection a few years later he wanted R1,2 million. Witt could not

afford to buy it back and continued sourcing other artefacts.

The Tzaneen Museum on Agatha Street is an unobtrusive, small three-roomed musty house in front of the Library and the GTM. It houses some two thousand ethnologi-cal artefacts from South Afri-can tribes as well as other parts of Africa. The Museum is regarded as one of the best muse-ums in the country and deserves far greater recognition and resources. The building is in need of renovations and the GTM needs to restore the landline and pay the Curator a tad more to run the place.

The late Advocate Henri Francois Junot from Pretoria helped finance the construc-tion of the Museum veranda. Junot used to visit his god daughter Ms Julie McMahon of-ten. McMahon lives on a farm on the Cheer-io Road outside the village of Haenertsburg. The veranda now houses the Tsonga fairy tale figures. Each group tells a story and this keeps the verbal literature alive.

Witt has spent years recording these tales on tape and in writing. His assistant, Ms Florence Tshibeyahope, helps him in the retelling of the stories. He wants to make children aware of their heritage and hopes the treasures will remain in Tzaneen and in South Africa.

In today’s article, as part of the Bulletin’s exclusive series about senior citizens of our area who have made a major contribution to-wards establishing a vibrant local community, Sue Ettmayr introduces Mr Jürgen Witt, the Curator of the little known Tzaneen Museum.

African treasuresA lifetime spent finding

The Tzaneen office of the State Vet has set to undertake a rabies vaccination drive in Semarela, Bolobedu South, af-ter a dog was con-firmed infected by the disease.

The drive, which will take place un-til 20 March at ten schools within a ten kilometer radius of

the site where the in-fection was detected, is set to ensure no further infections in the area.

According to the State Veterinarian in Tzaneen, animal vaccinations against rabies, primarily transmitted through a bite from an in-fected animal, are an annual legal require-ment to protect ani-mals from infections and are freely avail-able at state veteri-nary offices.

Three other cases of rabies, which also affect human be-ings and can result in death within five days of infection, have also been iden-tified in the Mopani and Vhembe dis-tricts recently. This makes the districts at high risks for infec-tions.

According to Mr Kenny Ndlovu, a Tzaneen State Vet of-ficial, the virus con-

tinues to prevail in the area as residents ignore the case and neglect to vaccinate animals.

WORLD GLAUCOMA

WEEK9 - 15 MARCH 2014Key Facts About Glaucoma

• Glaucoma is a progressive disease causing irreversible visual loss, usually without warning until relatively advanced.

• 50% of affected people in the developed world and 90% in developing countries do not know they have Glaucoma.

• The main risk factors to develop Glaucoma are a positive family history of Glaucoma, people of African descent, myopia (short sightedness).

• Regular eye examination will detect the Glaucoma disease in the early stages and avoid visual impairment.

Mnr Mel de Kock van Tzaneen het op 26 Desember verlede jaar ‘n verkeersboete van R152,64 in Richmond in die Karoo gekry en dit betaal, maar hulle het die geld vir hom teruggestuur. Nou het hy ‘n E-Tolrekening gekry, wat sê hy was tussen 23 en 28 Desember in Johannesburg by ‘n verkeersoortreding betrokke en skuld hulle R292,59. Hy ry ‘n Corsa-bakkie, maar die foto’s op die E-Tol-dokumente is dié van ‘n mikrobus met ‘n sleepwaentjie. Die registrasienommers stem ooreen. Hy waarsku motoriste en sê dis moontlik dat baie registrasienommers op dié manier gedupliseer kan word.

Cartrack North East Limpopo purchased two cars from Simpson Motors in Tzaneen. Mr Fannie Boloyi, sales-man at Simpson Mo-tors, handed the keys to the two new Chevrolet Sparks to Mr Gerrie van Wyk, area manager of Cartrack NE Limpopo.

Dit reën die afgelope weke deftig in Tzaneen, maar verlede week was besighede en wonings langs King Edward-rylaan sonder waarskuwing waterloos.

Munisipale werkspanne swoeg reeds sedert verlede jaar in die gebied om ‘n waterpypleiding te vervang en dié werk staan nou einde se kant toe. Hulle word egter verplig om verbruikers in die omgewing te waarsku wanneer die watertoevloei vir ‘n nuwe aansluiting afgeskakel

word. Verskeie ondernemings, soos ‘n tandarts, plekke wat kos voorberei en al die geboue se wasgeriewe en toilette is van die water afhanklik.

Die gebied se DA-raadslid, me René Pohl, sê weens ‘n geldte-kort word daar oral besparings gedoen. Dit was egter nie nodig vir die werkspanne om op plig en goeie maniere te bespaar nie. Sy sal op die voorval ingaan sodat ‘n herhaling daarvan ver-hoed kan word.

Werk aan ‘n pyplei-ding in King Edward-rylaan het inwoners Vrydag weer sonder waarskuwing water-loos (en moedeloos)

Die Hoërskool Merensky bied met trots die eerste pro-duksie van die oorspronk-like Musiekteater: “Hoe ry die Boere” in Tzaneen aan.

Me Mari Weber het die keer kragte saamgespan met musikant mnr Marius Botha, en die bekende nagtegaal van Tzaneen, me Lizelle Pienaar om ‘n tong-in-die-kies kykie te gee op die boere en hul vervoere. Bekende en soms vergete liedjies is afgestof en word kraakvars aangebied. Die stuk het reeds in Februarie sy debuut in Phalaborwa gemaak.

Kaartjies kos R100 wat ‘n ligte aandete insluit. Vir ‘n onvergeet-like aand op Woensdag 26 Maart, skakel die organiseerder, me Madeleen Winterbach op 071 473 1526 om plek te bespreek.

The tutors of Merensky’s Music, dance, drama and art school hosted a concert, aptly named: Magic of the Masters, recently.

The aim of this concert was to showcase their talents in a production, as opposed to the weekly tutoring in a nor-mal classroom situation.

The art tutor, Ms Brenda Routledge designed a poster and every artist performed at least two items.

Guest artist, Dr Gert Marinkowitz wowed the audience with the clarinet, accompanied by Ms Rina Klaver, the keyboard and piano tutor.

The final round of Merensky’s an-nual English Home Language Speech Competition was held recently.

In the junior section, the seven com-peting Gr 8 and 9’s received the set topic: “If I was the English teacher”, which led to helpful hints to language tutors. The unprepared speeches were entertaining and delivered with extraordinary confidence. Pupils

were asked to elaborate on: “if I were a rhinoceros/if I were a star”.

Valeria Avdysh took first place, Chelsea Schlebusch came second, and third place was awarded to Chris Bill. The ten participating seniors tackled their pre-pared topic: “fate of human-ity” with gusto.

For their unprepared speech they could choose between “censorship in the media” and “technology.” Samuel Varrie was award-ed first place, with Mo-nique Kiapway and Deepa Kesa sharing second, and Blake Linder in third place.

Forty-one Gr 9 stu-dents and six staff members from Stan-ford Lake College embarked on their first expedition for the year.

This trek consisted of three-and-a-half days of hiking, start-ing at Sekororo and finishing in Penge. This unsupported hiking route followed the path that took Louis Trichardt eight months to complete in 1838 on the back of ox wagons. The Gr 9s were taken to the Christmas Plateau, where Louis Trichardt spent Christmas in 1838 and Louisfontein, over-looking the Olifants Valley.

On reaching Penge, the group readied themselves for an event-

ful white water rafting experi-ence on the Olifants River, facing testing rapids like ‘Rent-o-Kill’, ‘Double Trouble’,’ Longdrop’, Simple Simon’ and ‘Rollercoast-er’ where they experienced the full force of nature.

In the footsteps of Louis Trichardt

Merensky Day was celebrated on Plasieland recently.

The tradition dates back to the first days of the school and is annually celebrated. Each pupil and teacher received a ribbon to wear during the day as a token of their pride of being a Plasie. The thousand ribbons were signed and handed back. These ribbons will be framed as remembrance of Merensky Day 2014.

The guest speaker was a former Plasie who matriculated in 2007, Ms Myra Visser-Harms.

Proud to be a Plasie

High School Merensky was the host for this year’s Presi-dent’s Award for Youth Empowerment, in partnership with Brand South Africa, where a youth dialogue and action workshop was held. The theme of the Work-

shop was: 20th year of democracy - how can award participants be involved in realising the National Development Plan through active citizenship? The President’s Award for Youth Empowerment celebrated 30 years of effective and sustained youth development in South Af-rica in 2013. There are currently over 15 000 active participants drawn from schools (both state and independent), community youth groups, residential youth facilities and correc-tional centres nationally. The aim of the award programme is to provide a holistic framework for purposeful self-development of young peo-ple between the ages of 14 and 24. The Presi-dent’s Award is affiliated with the Duke of Ed-

inburgh’s International Award and the Patron-in-Chief is President Jacob Zuma.

Youth making a difference

The Plasie choir members gathered over the weekend to enjoy the annual training camp. The camp was held on the school grounds and members stayed in the hostel to enable sports members to participate in the various matches that day. Merensky commended the choir leaders, Ms Bobbi Gerber and Mr Marius Botha for their support.

Mr Wessel van Rooy-en, Ms Marise Botha and Mr Magnus Steyn jnr, teachers from Me-rensky High School recently received the degree B.Ed Snr and VOO from the North West University.

Merensky’s new graduates

Samuel Varrie, Deepa Kesa, Monique Kiapway and Blake Linder.

Mr Willie Stevens, deputy principal at Merensky High School, Ms Pale-sa Matuludi, programme manager of the president’s awards, Danielle van der Merwe, president’s award member of Merensky, Ms Willemien van Niekerk, coordinator of the president’s awards at MHS, and Ms

Verlede week het Letaba se rugbyspanne nie waffers gevaar teen strawwe mededinging in Mbombela nie. Sleutelspelers wat voor en tydens die eerste span se wedstryd beseer is en ‘n hele paar spelers wat nie die Vrydag kon afkry om Mbombela toe te reis nie, het Letaba ontwrig.

Ons het egter verlede week gesê dat Letaba in hul eerste wedstryd in die nuwe seisoen teen ‘n span moes uitdraf wat reeds hul eerste wedstryd agter die rug gehad het en dus meer wedstrydfiks was, én dat Letaba in die moeilike omstandighede tog gewys het dat hulle vanjaar weer ‘n krag gaan wees waarmee ander spanne rekening sal moet hou.

Saterdag het Letaba 1 gewys dat dit nie ydele woorde was nie, toe hulle op Conway teen Pietersburg Dorp te staan gekom het en met 34-14 baas was. Na al die baie reën het die gladde bal en ‘n steeds effense nat veld dit onmoontlik gemaak om aanskoulike rugby te speel.

Maar harde rugby is nie deur die toestand van die veld of die bal verhinder nie. Voorlangs het die twee flanke, Wikus en Marnus Steyn, die veld vol gespeel en die haker, JP Scharwz, het die oog met sy kragtige stormlopies gevang.

Marnus Labuschagne het ‘n stroom goeie lynstaanbesit vir Letaba gewen. Losskakel Deano Kruger het groot stukke veld vir Letaba met lang lynskoppe gewen en vir tagtig minute was Letaba duidelik die beter span.

Agterlangs het senter Ruan Roets die oog gevang

en heelagter JP Kardos, wat ongelukkig sy laaste wedstryd vir Letaba gespeel het, sy gewone uitstaande spel gelewer. Letaba gaan hom mis, want hy gaan nou in Hoedspruit werk en woon. Tzaneen se rugbygeesdriftiges en die Letaba Rugbyklub wens hom sterkte toe en sê dankie vir die tyd wat hy ‘n goeie bydrae tot die klub en rugby gelewer het.

Puntemakers vir Letaba was Ruan Roets en JP Kardos, wat elk twee drieë gedruk het, kaptein Swen Hedin wat ‘n drie na ‘n goeie rolmaalbeweging gedruk het en slot Eben Fichardt afgerond het nadat hy met verbasende spoed vir ‘n slot goed beweeg het vir sy drie. Deano Kruger het met twee doelskoppe geslaag.

Oubal is ons plaaslike koerante baie dankbaar dat hulle ons weekliks so op die hoogte hou van sportgebeure in ons omgewing, veral wat skolesport(s) betref. Dit hou ons pensioenarisse ingelig oor wie is nou eintlik wie in die dieretuin, en natuurlik wie is níé!

Dit lyk vir Oubal die skoleberigte word deur die onderskeie skole self geskryf en dan deur die koerante in ‘n mindere of meerdere mate geredigeer. In die geval van “mindere” sodanig dat monstruositeite soos “konsolasiedrie” heel dikwels deurglip, wanneer vertroosting op die skrywer se gemoed was!

‘Tja, Oubal het ook al onder die besef gekom dat die berigte meestal eie beuelblasery is, daarom het hy geleer om tussen die lyne te lees om agter die ware kap van die byl te kom. Dikwels is dit dan ook ‘n geval dat daar maar min wind was om mee te blaas!

As daar byvoorbeeld ‘n skaakberig op die sportblad verskyn, dan weet Oubal daar het in terme van regte sport nie veel by die skool

gebeur nie. Oubal is self ‘n kranige skaakspeler, maar dis nou eenmaal nie vir hom sport nie. Skaak is ‘n intellektuele oefening wat by Omar Shariff se skaakrubriek, sudoku en die blokkiesraaisel in ‘n koerant hoort!

Oubal weet ook as daar in besonderhede verslag gedoen word van een rakbiespan van ‘n skool se wedstryd en die ander word net so in die verbygaan sonder tellings genoem , dan is die kanse goed dat die ander spanne nie juis waffers vertoon het nie. Die blouskool oorkant die brug se rakbieverslag verlede week was byvoorbeeld so!

Oubal het opgelet dat die rooiskool se hokkieverslag op dieselfde manier na net een span se uitslag verwys het, met ‘n beskrywing

van doele wat deur ‘n ander span aangeteken is en ook sonder vermelding van tellings. Oubal dink hy kan sonder vrees vir teenspraak aflei dat dit uiters beroerd gegaan het daar!

‘Tja, Oubal sien dit het goed gegaan met die blouskool se hokkie, asook die rooiskool se rakbie en netbal, want hulle sê dit vir jou duidelik en reguit. Dit was egter die rooiskool se verstommende netbaltellings wat Oubal laat regop sit en kennis neem het.

Die deel waar hulle sê hulle “het begin waar hulle verlede jaar opgehou het”, het Oubal genoop om te gaan navorsing doen. Danksy ArthurIngelsman se media-speurvermoë kry Oubal toe ‘n berig onder oë wat laat verlede jaar in die Jip-gedeelte van die GAD verskyn het.

Daarvolgens het die rooi versies tweede geëindig na Afrikaans Hoër Meisieskool in die Tuks-Fast5-reeks, toe hulle met 25-21 in die eindstryd verloor het. Die berig praat tereg ook met groot lof van die versies wat op pad na die eindstryd met verskeie vooraanstaande skole

afgereken het.‘Tja, Oubal is beïndruk met wat julle tussen

die lyne regkry, en voel homself verplig om verdere navorsing te doen om agter die kap van jul sukses te kom. Konsoleer julle daarin dat Oubal ‘n man van sy woord is en hou gerus maar hierdie spasie dop!

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell

• Die versoeking is net té groot om nie hier ‘n kommentaar by te voeg nie. Skole, voor die voet, skryf asof hulle byvoeglike naamwoorde uitgevind, gepatenteer en nou die alleenreg daarop het as hulle hul berigte skryf en aan koerante lewer. Tweedens: ons het juis verlede week onderaan ‘n sportberig van die een skool gesê dat geen telling verskaf is nie. Dit was die begin en ons gaan dit voortaan gereeld doen, as ‘n skool nie die tellings gee nie (gewoonlik wanneer hulle verloor het), want nadat ons al jare lank vra dat alle tellings gegee word, word dit steeds dikwels nie gedoen nie. Ten slotte moet ons ook darem sê dat ons baie dankbaar is vir die nuus wat die skole aan ons lewer, want ‘n klein gemeenskapskoerant het gewoon nie die mannekrag om die baie skole se nuus met eie personeel te dek nie — Uitgewer

Tussen die lyne!
