Quite spectacular... � e wa-ter fountain in the garden at the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s head quarters in Agatha Street has been refurbished and o� ers a new spectacle. When darkness falls the fountain is lit up in blue, o� ering a spectacle that could be the in-

troduction to a town where the esthetical assets are respected and treasured. Residents are hopeful that better care will henceforth be taken of the garden surrounding the fountain as well. � e building is also being attended to: a new roof over the cental part (above the

council chambers, mayor’s o� ce, enttainment hall etc ) is being � t-ted and a fresh coat of paint, inside and on the outside, is said to be on the cards as well. Could this be the beginning of a new approach to the restoration of the town’s ap-pearance?

Vlieg wil nou nie op Oubal se bejaarde tone trap nie, maar gun Vlieg die geleentheid om na afl oop van die Biltongbokke se groep-wedstryde ‘n enkele eiertjie te lê.

Omdat dit sover maar sukkel-sukkel gegaan het, soos Vlieg vermoed het dit sou gaan, en die volgende wedstryd waarskyn-lik einste Bokke se swanesang in vanjaar se kompetisie gaan wees, wil Vlieg graag vandeesweek vir oulaas ‘n nommertjie op-dra aan Heyneke, met die hoop dat hy dit ter harte sal neem. Miskien is dit tyd om terug te keer koshuisrugby toe! Daarvoor sal selfs ‘n suinige ou bliksem soos Vlieg ‘n munt in die put gooi!

“Wishing Well”Take off your hatKick off your shoes,I know you ain’t going anywhere.Run ‘round the townSinging your blues

I know you ain’t going anywhere.

You have always beenA good friend of mineBut you’re always saying farewellAnd the only time that you are satisfi edIs with your feet in the wishing well.

Throw down your gunYou might shoot yourself,Or is that what you are tryin’ to do,Put up a fi ghtYou believe to be rightAnd someday the sun will shine through.

You have always gotSomething to hideSomething you just can’t tellAnd the only time that you are satisfi edIs with your feet in the wishing well.

Vlieg wens!

And someday the sun will shine through.

‘n Greep uit die verre ver-lede wat steeds saak

maak was die inspirasie vir Estelle Botha se ro-man Rose van Schweiz-er-Reneke, wat onlangs in Tzaneen vrygestel is. Dis ‘n werk van toewyding aan ‘n ma-

triarg wat uiteindelik sin kon sien uit onsin-

nighede in haar leeftyd, toe ‘n vreemde en byna

ondenkbare orde aan die dag was.

Botha het uit vertellings van nasate en navorsing ‘n verhaal saamgestel wat ‘n vrymoedige blik op die aansien van mense in oor-

logtyd gee. Die verhaal

speel hom af tussen 1901 en 1916, toe duisende vroue en kinders in konsentrasiekampe vasgevang was.

Die roman is gegrond op ‘n ware verhaal oor haar voor-moeder wie se stryd teen on-reg uiteindelik met vergifnis en geloof vervang is.

Die skrywer woon in Tzaneen en kom uit ‘n huis waar die skryfkuns lank reeds geves-tig is. Haar pa, Abel Botha, het ‘n reeks boeke oor die jagtersbedryf die lig laat sien.

Rose van Schweizer-Reneke is by alle groot boekhande-laars beskikbaar; of skakel Estelle by 078 717 5007 om ‘n eksemplaar regstreeks te bestel.

Ellen is gebore in Pre-toria as die oudste van die eerstelingtweeling van ds Gerhard en me Grobler, toe van Pot-gietersrus/Koedoes-

rand. Sy het grootge-word en skool gegaan in Ermelo, Boksburg en Pretoria.Sy het na skool on-derwys gestudeer en in junior onderrig gespesialiseer. Sy het onder meer ook by die Transoran-je Skool vir Dowes onderrig gegee. Toe haar kinders haar aandag geverg het, het sy dikwels tyde-

lik by skole gehelp en was uiteindelik tot met haar aftrede heel-tyds verbonde aan die

Bankuna Hoërskool in Nkowankowa. Na haar aftrede het sy in Haenertsburg gaan woon.Sy laat haar kinders Lourens, Gerhard (Chatz), Jannas en Tienie (Sussa), skoonkinders Tersia, Corlia en Dirk agter, asook die klein-kinders Jean-Marie, Theo, Petro, Jabes, Christiaan, Gerhar-dus, Isanelle en Luka.‘n Roudiens vir haar word more (Sater-dag) om 15:00 in die Ned Herv Kerk Tzaneen gehou.

Die man wat nou weer in die Mo-pani-distrik rondgaan en homself as balju voordoen en mense se geld steel, is nog op vrye voet. Die pub-liek word gewaarsku om baie versig-tig te wees en in alle omstandighede eers seker te maak dat die man hom-self behoorlik kan identifi seer (met ‘n plastiekkaart, soos ‘n kredietkaart, met die balju se foto en besonder-

hede, asook die volle besonderhede van die Raad van balju’s).

Intussen het die Bulletin verlede week ‘n liederlike fout begaan, toe ons weens ‘n kommunikasie-misver-stand ‘n naam, adres, kontaknom-mer en selfs die identiteitsnommer van ‘n gerespekteerde sakeman as dié van die bedrieër in ons berig aangedui het.

Dié man het uitgebreide sakebe-lange in die Laeveld. Hy is deur die bedrieër genader oor ‘n moontlike eiendomstransaksie — kompleet soos die vorige bedrieër, ene mnr Ngwako Kgatla; wat steeds soek is, omdat hy vals adresse gebruik het.• Ons stel graag die fout reg en as dit eni-ge ongerief vir iemand veroorsaak het, bied ons verskoning aan. — Redakteur

Baljubedrieër nog soek

The Mercy Air team once again embarked on an outreach into Mozambique. This time they visited the rural area of Chimoio just a few kilometres east of the Zimbabwean bor-der. The purpose of their week-long visit was to offer free hearing tests to more than 250 school-aged children in this deep rural community. Audiometrists from Kind2Hearing in Tzaneen screened these children for possible hearing

loss or damage to their ears which can greatly affect their abilities for studying and learning at school. The group de-parted on Tuesday morning in a Quest Kodiak 12-seater plane from Nelspruit (after a day’s delay due to clearance issues and permit challenges from the Mozambican side). Bulletin will carry a report on the outcome of their trip next week.

Colourful celebration... Tolerance for one another’s herit-age can only make South Africa a stronger and richer nation. That was the notion made at Heritage Day Celebrations at Maake Plaza. “The main aim is to remind the younger generation about our herit-age, celebrating the imparted knowledge, the skills, the belief sys-tems, rituals, stories, music, dance, arts, crafts, food and drinks from our different cultures,” said Orie Mbedzi the centre supervisor.Performances by different local cultural groups, representing the diver-sity around the area were enjoyed by the people.

ontspanne atmosfeer. Hulle beloof ‘n heerlike aand op die oewer van die Letaba-rivier, om “ons en ons geliefdes se lewens te vier” en “om te erken dat ons bevoorreg is” en “om terug te gee“ tot voordeel van mense wat terminaal siek en sterwend is.

• Hennie, John, Fransie, Henri en ‘n paar ander WP-ondersteu-ners se koppe hang nadat Ackers se junior span hulle onder die stof geloop het. Nou wil een van dokter verander, een soek ‘n nuwe apteker, een sê hy distansieer hom van dié koerant, nog een sê hy is die hoenders in, die “biker” sê sy foto’s bly voortaan syne en...

Is daar diepte?Die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit is be-sig om gebreke wat die belastingbetalen-de inwoners van die dorp erg irriteer, reg te stel of daaraan te verbeter. Slaggate in strate word herstel, die kenmerkende wa-terfontein voor die munisipale hoofgebou is herstel en lyk beter as toe dit splinter-nuut was, die nuwe swembad sal eersdaags in gebruik geneem word en dies meer.

Eweneens is daar ander en groter frus-trasies wat egter sloer. Die informele sektor (smouse) wat nie beheer word nie, die taxis wat doen wat hulle wil en ander motoriste se veiligheid en reg op die gebruik van die strate/paaie minag, gesondheidsregulasies wat selektief en diskriminerend toegepas word, infra-struktuur wat toegelaat word om tot niet te gaan en die verfraaiing van die dorp wat afgeskeep word, ensovoorts.

Is dit wat wel gedoen word en waarvoor die inwoners dankbaar behoort te wees, ‘n oppervlakkige aksie met die oog op volgende jaar se munisipale verkiesings?

Dit lyk so en die stadsraadslede sal naief wees as hulle dink hulle kan die dorp se inwoners bluf met oppervlak-kige vensterversierings.

Me Charmaine Beetge, die netbalorganiseerder by die Hoërskool Ben Vorster en wyd erkende netbalafrigter, is aangewys as die ontwikkelingsbeampte vir Netbal Suid-Afrika. Dit is ‘n baie groot eer vir haar en inderdaad ook vir Tzaneen, die Laeveld en Limpopo!

Vere‘n Man in ‘n klein dorpie het ‘n verskriklike skinderstorie oor ‘n ander man versprei. Die storie was nie net onwaar nie, maar het die ander man en sy familie geweldige skade berokken.

Soos die gebruik in so ‘n klein dorpie gewoonlik is, is die man na die hoof van die dorpie ge-bring, wat ook as die regter gedien het om die saak aan te hoor en straf uit te deel, as hy skuldig sou wees.

Nadat die hoof van die dorpie die saak aangehoor het, het hy die man wat die skinderstorie versprei het, skuldig bevind. Hy moes gestraf word.

Die straf, wat die ou regter vir die man uitgedink het, was om hom ‘n sak vere te gee en hom aangesê om voor die deur van elke persoon aan wie hy die skinderstorie vertel het, ‘n veer te gaan neersit.

Die man was baie verlig oor die ligte straf. Hy het dadelik begin om die vere te plaas en vier ure later het hy teruggekeer na die regter en gesê: “My taak is voltooi, is daar nog iets anders, wat u van my verlang?”

“Ja”, het die ou regter gesê. “Kom môreoggend baie vroeg terug na my, vir die tweede deel van jou straf”.

Die man was die volgende og-gend weer vroeg by die regter om die tweede deel van sy straf te ontvang. Toe gee die regter vir hom dieselfde sak en sê: “Gaan haal nou weer al die ve-

re, wat jy gister uit-g e p l a a s het en sit hulle in die sak terug en bring dit vir my!”

Die man was moedeloos. “U edele, het die man gesê, het u dan nie die verskriklike storm gister-aand gehoor, wat deur ons dorpie getrek het nie? Die wind het ont-sett end sterk gewaai. Dit sal vir my onmoontlik wees om weer al daardie vere bymekaar te maak!”

Die ou regter het lank na die man gestaar en toe vir hom gesê: “Sien jy nou wat jy aangevang het? Alhoewel jy net ‘n paar stories, wat onwaar was, hier en daar vertel het, is ‘n storm van skindery begin. Jy sal nooit weer almal in die hande kan kry om die saak reg te maak nie, want jy weet nie hoe ver die storie al gewaai het nie. Jy kan spyt wees oor wat jy gesê het, maar jy sal nooit weer regtig kan regmaak, wàt jy gesê het nie!”

Jakobus 3: 5 skryf hieroor. Hy sê dat die tong ‘n baie magtige ding is. “’n Klein vuurtjie kan ‘n groot bos aan die brand steek.”

Kom ons dink mooi, voordat ons stories oor ander versprei. Slaan ag op Jakobus se woorde: “My geliefdes, so moet dit nie wees nie. ‘n Fontein laat tog nie uit die-selfde oog vars en brak water op-borrel nie” (Jakobus 3: 10-11).

Ons kan nie die Here loof en ander mense beswadder, met een en dieselfde tong nie!

Die Zoeloes het ‘n baie mooi spreuk wat sê: “As jou tong in ‘n mes verander, sny jy jou eie lippe af!”

Mr Moyana Mokatisei (50) has been a familiar sight in Tzaneen for the past nine years. He walks on the outskirts of the town daily selling his small to large feather dusters and brooms. He makes them himself and travels at least twice a year to Oudtshoorn in the Cape to buy the ostrich feath-

ers. He travels there by bus and taxi and then returns by taxi with a 25 kg load of feathers. The only time he doesn’t work is when it rains as the rainwater damages the feathers.

Mokatisei delivers his wares to the homes of his customers if they so desire. He goes home to Zimbabwe once a year to visit his wife and children. Mokatisei says that he

couldn’t earn enough money in Zimbabwe to support his family, so he had to come down to South Africa. — Copy & photo: Sue Ettmayr

Although there are fi nes in place for distracted driving, the habit of drivers’ texting and talking on hand held cell phones contin-ues unabated in Limpopo Prov-ince. Look in your rear view mirror and watch the drivers behind you. Watch the drivers in front of you. Any odd move-ment is oft en due to their att en-tion being on something else and that something else is more oft en than not a cell phone com-munication. Many drivers will say that they can multi-task but this is a fallacy. The Automobile Association of South Africa says that distracted driving accounts for between 25 and 50 percent of all accidents.

Meanwhile in Canada, the On-tario Transportation Minister, Mr

Steven Del Duca, said at a recent press conference, “Fatalities from distracted driving are expected to

exceed those from drinking and driving by 2016.”

It is not only cell phones that are responsible for distracted driving. A local mother was taking her two-year-old son to Forest Hill nursery school in Haenertsburg one morn-

ing. The son, always strapped in his chair on the back seat, want-ed his bott le of juice. The mother

grabbed the bott le, passed it to him and then turned around to see whether her son was content. That split second turn caused her to lose control and the car veered off the road into the gulley on the left . The moth-er swung the car hard to the right but lost control. The car spun at a 45 degree angle across the road, fortunately with no oncoming traffi c, overturned

and came to a halt when it hit a tree in the pine forest.

The toddler was unharmed and still strapped in his chair on the back seat. The young mother was taken to MediClinic Tzaneen where she was admitt ed with a

broken wrist and fractured ribs. The car was a write off and the mother is fully aware that she had a very lucky escape. She says this has taught her the valuable lesson to keep her eyes on the road at all times. Her adherence to keep her child safe in the back seat is com-mendable as there are so many ir-responsible parents who give their children carte blanche in cars.

Back in Canada, where Toronto has a population of just over two million, Chief Mark Saunders said the Toronto Police Service has is-sued over 91,000 distracted driving off ence notices since 2010. The state of Ontario in Canada has in-troduced stiff new penalties for distracted driving and the new fi ne is $490 which translates into about R4 900. Sue Ett mayr

Being fashionable is a skill when you live in the Bushveld. The harsh weather conditions makes dressing fashionably a litt le tricky on the best of days. Wardrobe selection can be an impossible task with the weather lately being as temperamental as a toddler in a toy store. There is the old adage of judging a book by its cover and even though many see past this fact, the practice still exists and with the current economic trend, dressing up in many instances has become costly.

But, it doesn’t have to be this way. As of the 1st of October Tza-neen has a solution to combat the desperation of dressing de-cently within the limits of a tight budget. With the offi cial opening of Rory Du Plessis Modehuis in Circle Drive, every woman can now look and feel as good as a crisp summer breeze all year round.

“I have always had a love for fashion and so the boutique is essentially the manifestation of a lifelong love rather than a side project.”

Rory’s BA in Fashion Management and MA in Fashion Marketing provide proof of her insa-tiable love for all things bright and beautiful. The splendorous new boutique welcomes you in style with its trendy look and high fashion feel.

Inside, you will be treated to only the newest ranges of import-ed designer clothing and accesso-ries from top international de-signers including Frank Walder and Eugen Klein. Match the per-fect blouse with the perfect beads and compliment your outfi t with a designer handbag which is sure to draw some att ention.

Whatever your mood, whatever your preference, a visit to Rory Du Plessis Modehuis is sure to satu-rate your appetite and leave you

feeling on top of your game. The boutique will be open weekdays from 08:00 to 17:00 and Sat-urdays until 13:00.

Vier geslagte byeen op die Tzaneendam se wal is nie jou alledaagse gesig nie. Me Re-tha Kruger, haar dogter Margie van Tonder, dié se dogter, Mar-gareet Engelbrecht, en klein Aldrè van Tonder is onlangs saam op die damwal betrap. Van Tonder is getroud met ds Adriaan van Tonder van die NG Kerk Wolkberg. Hulle het nog ‘n dogter wat nou swanger is en oor min of meer ‘n week haar baba se geboorte sal vier — en die vierde geslag se ge-talle dus verder sal opstoot.

The DR Church Wolkberg in Tzaneen felt it necessary to treat the senior citizens of their congregation to a little bit of tasty heaven last week. Members of the church along with their reverend, ds Adriaan van Tonder, presented a wonderful buff et of the fi nest homemade cuisine themed “Kokkedoor” which included roasts, quiches, pastries and some of the

fi nest desserts this side of the Bushveld. Each of the guests were handed a surprise note detailing a specifi c style in which they had to arrange and present their meal on their plates. The presentations were then judged by a distinguished panel of palatable professionals and the winners announced. Each of the lucky winners was presented with a gift. During

the luncheon, various talks were held to educate the attendees on the value of healthy eating, how to sup-plement their diet and live healthier, happier lives. Mss Wilma Steyn, Ilza Roelofse, Noelene van Wyk, Margie van Tonder, ds Adriaan van Tonder, Mss Elsa van der Westhuizen, Sulette Jordaan, Petro Engelbrecht, Elna Wandrag and Adel Skãr were the “kitchen staff ” who prepared the ex-quisite food for the seniors.

It’s, however, extremely di� cult to predict when, and by how much, markets will rise and fall. If your clients sell in a panic after the fi rst signs of a market correction, they may miss out on good performance days, resulting in an overall drop in their return. Where you don’t want to be on the good market days is out of the market. And there’s no way you can predict when those days will be.

Besides, historical ALSI data indicates that it is highly likely long-term equity investors will reap positive real returns when they invest for 10 years or longer and highly unlikely that they will lose any capital when they invest for fi ve years or longer.

• ‘Watch the pot’With the advent of real-time investment re-

porting, your clients can now view their portfo-lio values online on a daily basis. While the rise in transparency is positive, the � ipside is that investors who tend to ‘watch the pot boil’ are now more likely to compare their funds’ perfor-

mance with that of their peers, often leading to buyers’ remorse and switching to the funds that outperformed recently.

According to a study by Dalbar, over the past 30 years the average investor in an equity unit trust in the US earned an average of 3,8% a year — a third of the Standard & Poor’s 500’s average 11,1%! This is mainly due to switching in and out of funds at the wrong time, chasing outperformance — an exercise which is more often than not counterproductive.

Advice for everybodyTo summarise, when investing for growth,

equities are instrumental. As fi nancial ‘insid-ers’ we need to get the following three things right, though:

• Make sure our clients have the right equity allocation % for the right timeframe

• Manage our clients’ expectations before they commit to the investment

• Help our clients to stay the course — let the market do the rest.

SMITADVISEURS

We are well aware that an adviser’s job is nev-er done. No matter how thoroughly you ex-plained to your clients what to expect from the equity market, when markets suddenly fall and alarmed investors start to call, the tough-est part of your client journey starts: assuring investors that choppy waters too can lead to the right destination.

Colin Shaw, author of ‘Building great customer experiences’ was one of the fi rst client experi-ence designers to draw attention to the fact that the client experience starts with an expectation and ends with an emotion. The better business-es prepare clients for the potential negative ex-periences that may lie ahead, the better are the chances of a positive emotional outcome.

This is the approach used by Smit Advisors when advising clients on equities. We’ve there-fore decided to share an informative article about equities by the Head of Retail Business of Sanlam Investments, Mr Carl Rootman, with our existing and prospective clients. Rootman says:

Equities are not for those who…• Invest for the short termInvestors driven by greed or sometimes

desperation, needing to make up a shortfall in terms of a future liability, such as their chil-dren’s university education, often turn to shares to boost their wealth fast. But equities are not there for those wanting to make a quick buck.

In September 2008, world � nancial markets came under severe pressure and the ALSI re-acted by losing around a third of its value up to year-end. Only by mid-November 2009, the

ALSI had recovered from its lows. Investors in the equity market for the year from Septem-ber 2008 to September 2009 would therefore not even have regained their capital, let alone keeping up with in� ation.

Equities are therefore absolutely not for cli-ents wanting to invest for periods shorter than three years. The risk of losing money in real terms is simply too high.

• Try and time the marketSeasoned investor Peter Lynch said, “Far

more money has been lost by investors pre-paring for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.” Because of the asset class’s pro-ven long-term infl ation-beating characteris-tic, investors with very long-term horizons (10 years or more) should remain as fully invested in equities as possible at all times. Those who want to try and time the market, switching out when they think the market is close to its peak and switch back in again when it’s close to the bottom, can try the casino instead. They may have better luck there.

Timing the market is just not worth the risk.• Panic easilyShort-term volatility of the equity market is

perfectly normal. Every time the market cor-rects (fall by more than 10%) your clients may want to get out of the market ASAP. But, if they look at the two graphs below, they’ll see that the ALSI has risen far more than it has fallen, and the long-term trend of the market has al-ways been upward.

Meer as 200 skuts het die naweek deelgeneem aan die BJV se skietdag in Tzaneen, wat met ‘n totale borgskap van meer as R200 000 ‘n groot sukses was.

Die algehele wenner was Clay-ton Wiggell, met Eduan Engel-brecht in die tweede plek en Pie-ter Grimbeek derde. Dit was die tweede keer dat dieselfde skut die 100 meter-kompetisie wen en die eerste keer dat dit twee keer agtereenvolgend gebeur.

Die opkoms was volgens die voorsitt er van die BJV, mnr Fran-

cois Malan, bo verwagting. Die meeste skuts nóg het opgedaag en die wedywering was intens tussen topskuts wat van verskeie plekke in die land gekom het.

Die beste vyft ien skuts het al-mal in ‘n groepering kleiner as 9 mm geskiet.

Malan sê dit was hul belangrik-ste byeenkoms en hy sal graag vorentoe sien dat meer jongmense by dié byeenkoms betrek word.

Breast Cancer Month

159 Oktober 2015www.bulletin.us.com

TV sal wys hoe huil fris manne in Engeland

Die Traanrivier sal dié naweek ál sterker vloei namate verskeie lande se drome van welslae in die Wêreldbeker-rugbytoernooi tot ʼn einde kom.

Baie spelers gaan — soos dikwels op televisie gewys word — op die gras sit en huil. En hul ondersteuners in die paviljoene en voor die TV-skerms gaan meedoen, al het hul spanne darem die kwarteindronde gehaal.

Australië se wedstryd teen Wallis is allig dié naweek se hoogtepunt, want die Springbokke speel nie en Nieu-Seeland behoort Tonga se deelname aan die toernooi te beëindig.

Mense wat hulle nie aan rugby steur nie — en daar ís nog-al heelparty — kan hulle aan die eendaagse krieket tussen Suid-Afrika en Indië verlustig.

Dan is daar ook nog die Presidentebeker-gholf in Korea, die Russiese Grand Prix vir renmotors en die Japanse motor-fi ets-Grand Prix.

As part of the Presidents’ Award presented by Merensky High School, eighteen spirited can-didates attempted the special Magoebaskloof hike. Their enthusiasm quickly showed when they formed two teams, namely the Samango’s and the Cape Parrots. Each team had a war cry and even organized bandannas to match. They were also quizzed on these highly endangered species. For most of them it was their fi rst experience in the beau-tiful indigenous forest, with picture perfect vis-tas. The second day an 18 km hike led to the Dokolewa Pools hut. This route is not only long, but rates eight out of a maximum ten on the diffi culty level. Numerous streams had to be crossed, and chains had to be used to gain ac-cess over severe cliffs. Twelve junior hikers went home, proud that they overcame this 29 km challenge in their quest to achieve the bronze award this year. The remain-ing six hikers then completed their prescribed challenge of 49 kilometers, in order to achieve their silver award. They girls were accompa-nied by Mss Willemien van Niekerk (organiser), Magriet van der Merwe, Yolande Rautenbach and Sunette van Gass. Seen here are the silver award candidates: Riëtte Warmenhoven, Vale-riia Avdysh, JJ de Wet, Chelsea Schlebusch, Jenna Devenish and Amelia Middleton.

The Pfunanane Academy cross country team had another successful LLSV cross country meeting at Merensky, winning sixteen medals, nine of them gold, and eleven team competitions. Pictured are front: Ratile Lerutla, Lehlohonolo Mok-galaotse, Thabane Ramalepe, Tumisang

Ses bergfi etsryers van die Hoërskool Mer-ensky het die afgelope naweek aan die Spur SA Skolebergfi etskompetisie deelgeneem — waar bergfi etrsryers van skole uit al nege die land se provinsies asook van Botswana, Na-mibië en Zimbabwe deelgeneem het.

Dit was die eerste keer dat Merensky aan die kompetisie deelgeneem het en Christelle Coet-zer, Michelle Stevens, Arman Cronjé, Robert Retief, Amelia Middleton en Alex Strydom het hulle baie goed van hul taak gekwyt.

‘n Skolekompetisie is Saterdag gehou, toe die in uitmergelende hitt e twee tot vyf rondes van vyf kilometer elk moes afl ê, om punte vir

hul skool in te samel. Christelle het hier vyfde geëindig, met Michelle in die twaalfde plek en Armand 27ste.

Sondag moes die ryers in ‘n individuele kompetisie twee tot drie rondes in hul onder-skeie ouderdomsgroepe afl ê. Christelle (o.14) het die derde plek ingepalm, Michelle (o.18) het veertiende oor die wenstreep gejaag en Armand (o.14) was 21ste. Die ongeluk het Amelia getref en na ‘n slegte val kon sy nie die wedren voltooi nie.

Christelle en Armand het Sondag Limpopo verteenwoordig, wat algeheel in die vyfde plek geeïndig het.

Die Vossie-span het as algehele wenners uit die stryd getree en al vyf top-

bekers verower. Hul pun-tetotaal was 433, Meren-sky was tweede met 248 en die Fransies het 222 punte ingesamel.

Die Vossies het ook vyf-tien van die sestien afl osse gewen, 62 medaljes huis toe gebring (29 goud ; 19 silwer; 14 brons) en die

volgende ander presta-sies behaal: Zanél Steen-kamp is as junior victrix ludorum aangewys, Rhy-no du Plessis as junior victor ludorum, Vanessa van Rooyen as senior vic-trix ludorum en Heinrich Steenkamp as senior vic-tor ludorum.

Mountain bikers from Merensky High School battled it out in Louis Trichardt during the Tour de Lip challenge. This was the fourth and fi nal leg of the schools XCO MTB series. Five Plasie bikers proved their worth, and were included in the Limpopo team for the Spur National Cham-pionship. In the Tour de Lip, Christelle Coetzer came fi rst in the girls u.14 event. Third positions were claimed by Armand C r o n j e , (boys u.14), Robert Retief

(boys u.17) and Michelle Stevens (girls u.18). Janco Fritz, Sheldon Muller, Jordan Stevens, Amelia Middleton, Chelsea Schlebusch, Jenna Devenish, Natasha Janse van Rensburg, Ber-nice Cronjé and Simoné Pretorius also clocked good times. Seen here before the race were Na-tasha Janse van Rensburg, Simoné Pretorius, Bernice Cronjé and Michelle Stevens.

9 Oktober 2015

Oubal het voorheen die mening uitgespreek dat die “beste” ‘n saak van opinie is, maar dit smaak hom dieselfde geld vir “goed”.

‘Tja, in die GASK* verlede Sondag sê deur-winterde rakbieskrywer Bokkie Gerber die Bokke het dom en siellose rakbie teen Skot-land gespeel. Skaars ‘n paragraaf verder spreek gesoute afrigter Brendan Venter die mening uit dat dit die beste Bokwedstryd in ‘n lang tyd was. Wie’s reg en wie’s verkeerd, of is dit ’n kwessie van die glas wat halfl eeg is vir een en halfvol vir die ander?

Oubal dink neef Bokkie tipeer die gemoed wat na Japan gaande is onder knorpott e en brombere, en anti-Heyneke sentimental-

iste in die algemeen. Diesulkes, wat onophoudelik kerm dat die Bokke meer soos die AB’s moet speel, moet dalk kennis neem van wat Graham

Henry te sê gehad het na Engeland se onseremoniële uitboendering uit hul

eie WB. Neef Graham reken die fout wat die En-

gelse afrigter Stuart Lancaster gemaak het, was om soos die AB’s te wil speel terwyl hulle nie die mannekrag daarvoor, of ‘n kultuur daarvan het nie. Die gevolg was dat hulle op hul tradisionele sterkpunt, hul skrums en voorspelerspel, deur Australië (van alle spanne!) ore aangesit is. Die Engelse strydwa se wiele het skouspelagtig afgeval!

Oubal dink baie van wat neef Graham sê, is ook op die Bokke van toepassing. En laat ons nou maar eerlik wees en erken dit was nie net die Bokke wat Japan onderskat het nie — na wat die Japanners Saterdag met Samoa ge-doen het, dink Oubal dit is duidelik dat álmal hulle onderskat het; Oubal inkluis. Die kon-teks van Japan se oorwinning oor Samoa het

direkte implikasies vir die Bokke teen Skot-land daarna gehad — wen, maak nie saak hoe nie, want verloor sou beteken die Bokke hinkepink ook huis toe soos die Engelse.

Oubal hoop neef Bokkie het ook verlede Vrydag gekyk hoe die AB’s teen Georgië ge-speel het. Toegegee, die eindtelling van 43-10 skep die indruk dat NZ totaal in beheer was, maar hulle hou-die-bal-in-die-hand-ten-alle-koste benadering het die onaan-skoulikste AB-wedstryd in Oubal-heugenis tot gevolg gehad. As dít besielend rakbie is, kan neef Bokkie dit gerus maar vir homself hou.

Net, neef Bokkie, daar is meer as een manier van rakbie speel en wanneer die sit-uasie dit vereis, is loopgraafoorlogvoering meer eff ektief as blitzkrieg. Vra vir Hitler en vra vir Skotland. Die Bokke was klinies en meedoënloos, en behalwe vir een blaps (speel wyd ten alle koste!) wat tot ‘n onder-skepdrie gelei het, was hulle totaal in beheer. Oubal het ‘n spesmaas dit gaan die resep wees vir die uitspeelrondes wat voorlê — met Suid-Afrika en sonder Engeland. Eerder

nou daarop voorberei as om jou siel te ver-koop met tierlantyntjies!

Oubal het besonderse genot geput uit twee vlietende oomblikke tydens die Bokke se wedstryd. Die eerste was skeidsregter Ni-gel Owens se opmerking teenoor die Skotse heelagter Stuart Hogg na ‘n teatrale duikslag wat op ‘n eff ense stampie gevolg het: “Pro-beer dit weer, en jy kom oor twee weke te-rug om te speel!” Welgedaan, Nigel, hierdie is nie sokker nie, die eindstryd wink vir jou.

Die tweede was om te sien hoe Heyneke na ‘n suksesvolle Bok-strafskop op sy vingers tel om van 26 by 29 uit te kom. Dít was nie slim nie, Heyneke, jou sakrekenaar is in die pos!

In die jaarlikse krieket-ligawed-stryd tussen die hoërskole Ben Vorster en Merensky het die Vos-sies se eerste span sowel as die o.15’s met hul bure afgereken.

Die Vosies se eerste span het die loot gewen en besluit om eerste te kolf, op ‘n snikhete dag. Met hul rug teen die muur op 88 vir die verlies van 5 paaltjies in die 18de boulbeurt, het die Vossies se kaptein, Don Radebe (54 lopies), en middelorde-kol-wer Aubrey van Renen (46 lopies) hul span weer op koers gekry met ‘n vennootskap van ‘n 103 lopies om die 6de paaltjie. Caelen Retief, met 33 lopies op nommer 9, en Jean-Pierre Prins-loo met 21 nun het Ben Vorster gehelp tot ‘n mededingende 260 in hul toegelate 50 boulbeurte.

Deon van Zyl, Ben Vorster se knap wegbreekbouler, het die eerste slag in die eerste boulbeurt geslaan, deur Merensky se topopeningskolwer op midde-baan te laat uitvang. Hy het daarna nog drie paaltjies laat kantel, vir ‘n indrukwekkende

boulontleding van 10 beurte, 3 leeg, slegs 8 lopies afgestaan en 4 paaltjies omgeklits. Hy is ook goed bygestaan deur Radebe, wat drie paaltjies vir slegs 7 lo-pies geneem het in 4 boulbeurte, en Philip Bester wat 3 paaltjies vir 19 lopies gekry het.

Merensky is vir 62 lopies in 25,5 boulbeurte uitgeboul en die Vossies het die wedstryd dus met 198 lopies gewen.

Die Vossies se o.15A’s het op hul beurt Merensky se o.15A’s met 56 lopies getroef. Merensky het die loot gewen en die Vos-sies ingestuur om eerste te kolf. Hulle het die Vossies tot 157 lopies, almal uit, in 32,1 boul-beurte beperk. Johan Harms met 31 lopies, Gideon Vorster met 19 en Wilco J v Rensburg met 14 het gehelp om dié telling te haal.

Fumani Maluleke met 4 paal-tjies, bybreekbouler J v Rens-burg met 3 paaltjies en weg-breekbouler Roehan Steenkamp met 2 paaltjies het gehelp om Merensky tot 101 lopies, almal uit, in 29,5 boulbeurte te beperk.

Vossies wen krieketstryd

Ben Vorster se eerste krieketspan was te sterk vir hul bure en het Merensky met 198 lopies gewen. Hier is die eerste span se spelers saam met hul afrigter na die wedstryd teen Merensky.

Tzaneen het nog ‘n paar netbalafrigters wat Netbal SA se Vlak 2-kursus geslaag het, by-gekry. Hier is mee Ansie Combrinck (Hoërskool Merensky), Monique Lombard (Hoërskool Ben

Vorster), Charmaine Beetge (die aangewese ontwikkelingsbeampte vir Netbal Suid-Afrika), mnr Joseph Nkuna (Nkowankowa) en me Niene Barnard (Hoërskool Ben Vorster).

Merensky High School’s Wilmari Moller (Extreme ATV Tzaneen Hon-da) has become a true champion as SA’s No 1!

She raced in the two fi nal rounds of the TOTPAK National Off -road Mo-torcycle and Quad Championships in Worcester.

This event will be remembered as being tough and demanding on riders and their equipment. Blistered hands, sore bodies and hammered racing

machines were proof that these two races will go down as the bulldogs of the 2015 season. The fact that they had to complete two events over three days, and the dusty, rocky and sandy route, added to the pressure.

Each day started with a time-trial of between 50 and 55 kilometres that determined the starting order for the 300 km race. Unfortunately Wilmari (Gr 10) had an accident on the fi rst day and couldn’t complete the race.

On Day 2 she again had a setback, but managed to fi nish the race.

The judges took all the season’s scores into account, resulting in Wil-mari fi nishing in the overall number one off -road quad category position of all the lady competitors in South Africa. She also achieved a second place in the combined category (quads and two-wheelers) and is the youngest female in the champion-ships to win a title.

Kevin van den Bergh, promising young rugby player of Merensky High School, is on his way to Geor-gia in the USA.

Together with six other Plasies, Kevin played for the u.16 Far North team. He and Jason Rod-riques were then chosen to play

for the invitational team, to deter-mine who has the guts to obtain the glory of being chosen for the SA Bokkie team.

All of Merensky wishes Kevin well in America, where the Bokkies will play three matches against teams from all over the world.
