With close to R56-million to be spent on a number of upgrade projects at parks and nature reserves in Limpopo within the next six months, towns like Mokopane, Modimolle and Lephalale stand to gain huge economic and social benefits.

The flagship project on the list of parks to be upgraded will be at Doorndraai Dam near Mokopane. During a recent business chamber meeting in Mokopane, Du Toit Malan from the Limpopo Tourism Agency told businesspeople that slightly more than R30-million will be spent on this resort.

At Doorndraai Dam, the Akasia camp-site will become a day visitor area with a swimming pool and braai facilities while the camping facilities at Boekenhout and Sering will be upgraded. This project includes the establishment of 144 three-star campsites offering electricity as well as new ablution facilities with hot water.

While many of the existing campsites will remain available to campers who do not want to spend the extra money for three-star luxury, even these will benefit from better ablution facilities as the old ablutions will be demolished and rebuilt.

The slip way at Boekenhout will be upgraded and a new slip way will be built between Sering and Akasia.

A future dream said Malan, is to link Doorndraai Dam Nature Reserve with Enta-beni which could see this reserve becoming a big five reserve.

Two other projects where project imple-mentors have already been appointed are the Masebe reserve near Marken and the

Millions for nature reserves

D’Nyala Nature Reserve at Lephalale.R45-million will be spent at Masebe on

the rehabilitation of the reserve, upgrading of visitor and staff accommodation and re-pairing the fence. R29-million is planned for upgrade projects at D’Nyala.

Other upgrade projects will be carried out at Nylsvley Nature Reserve near Modimolle and Makapan’s Valley just north of Moko-pane.

Malan said conservationists also envision the linking up of the Waterberg Biosphere with the Kruger to Canyon Biosphere which

would see a green belt stretching from Botswana all the way to the Indian Ocean.

He told business people that a total of 33 such tourism and environmental projects have been earmarked for the next ten years with a proposed budget of R2,8-billion.

As mentioned some implementors have already been appointed and the hope is that work on the Doorndraai Dam project will start before the end of this year. While the re-serve will remain open to visitors throughout the project, Malan said all work there should be completed by this time next year.

Lost generator recovered

In the early hours of Sunday morning warrent officer Jan Oberholzer of the Lephalale Police found a generator near the NTK in Ellisras. Police invited the owner to come to the police station with some form of proof of ownership to have the generator returned to him or her.

It is for this reason that the Lephalale Development Forum (LDF) was established in July 2008, bringing various public and private stakeholders such as Eskom, Exxaro and the Lephalale Municipality together as partners in growth.

Initially the aim was to review the impact of the development of the Medupi power station and the Grootegeluk Mine expansion (GMEP) on the town, as economic growth placed major strain on the existing rural infrastructure. Today, with a lot of new in-frastructure in place, the LDF identifies and facilitates projects which greatly benefit the Lephalale community.

“The LDF was established as a neutral stakeholder forum to work towards an inte-grated development drive within the Lepha-lale municipal area, contributed to by all of the stakeholders. We established five wor-king groups to address issues such as local economic development, infrastructure and housing needs, social needs and challenges, labour- and skills development requirements, as well as environmental sustainability chal-lenges,” says LDF coordinator, Jacques Snyman.

Lephalale Development Forum makes great strides

Under the banner of Local Economic Development, Anglo Zimele Fund, Mitsubi-shi Hitachi Power Systems Africa (Pty) Ltd, Shanduka Black Umbrellas, the Medupi Leadership Initiative and Exxaro have ex-panded the original Hitachi Hub to include Shanduka Black Umbrellas (SBU) and Anglo Zimele in order to offer a broader range of funding and incubator services, including access to office facilities and coaching for up to three years, to further the development and sustainability of SMMEs in the area. The Lephalale Enterprise Development Centre was launched in April and more than 20 businesses are now at various stages in the incubation process.

“Growing businesses in Lephalale is a major focus for the forum and instead of each company establishing its own hub, these role players were brought together to share their expertise and knowledge with business ow-ners. Our aim is to collaborate with partners in the private sector, government and civil society to address low levels of entrepreneur-ship and high failure rates of emerging busi-nesses. The original Hitachi Hub managed to create more than 280 jobs over the last two

years through their stimulation of growth in the SMME sector,” Snyman adds.

In the agricultural sector the LDF has brought together Exxaro, Eskom, the Trans-formation Enablement Trust, various com-munities and agricultural experts to establish self-feeding schemes as well as income gen-erating projects. “Overall, these projects have been a major success and currently supply produce to local supermarkets.

A total of three projects (Mokuruanyane community, Amokelani Cooperative, Moron-gwa community trust) have been established by the various stakeholders involved,and a fourth site has already been identified to further expand these projects. These projects are successful because of the sustained effort and contribution by all the stakeholders.”

Eleven additional projects have also been initiated by the department of Agriculture and are all functioning and producing a wide range of vegetables. “These projects have become a major integrated team effort where stakeholders work together to ensure sustain-ability and growth of the projects. It has also brought a mind shift for the local community in terms of working towards a gainful future. By stakeholders working together, the impact of these projects is significantly increased.”

“Identifying needs in communities and driving skills development that starts at school level has also been at the heart of the effort of the LDF,” says Snyman. “Exxaro and

Eskom are both working with the Department of Education to improve, repair and maintain infrastructure at schools in the Lephalale area in an integrated manner. Both companies have each adopted a number of primary and secondary schools in the area, which they are supporting wholeheartedly. Apart from infrastructure, student needs, teacher needs, and equipment needs among others, are also supported. The adoption of a school really means that the stakeholders support every aspect that is needed to ensure the school is a well-functioning school with improv-ing results. Lephalale will need engineers, technicians and a range of other skilled and semi-skilled workers to help it grow into the energy hub and the first new post-apartheid democratic city of South Africa. We need to focus on skills development and it starts with the very young,” says Snyman. Schools and learners have also benefited from Saturday schools with extra help in subjects such as Maths, Science and English.

The LDF will continue to identify commu-nity needs and bring stakeholders together to address these needs to the betterment of all our people. “We are excited by what has been achieved through private and public stakeholders working together in a collective effort toward sustainable growth, and they are all commended and thanked for the huge contribution made to the greater Lephalale area,” says Snyman.

Growing a town into a major city and eventually into South Africa’s energy hub, takes a collective effort and in Lephalale major role-players are working together to do just that.

A Limpopo man is R24-million richer after win-ning the Powerball Jackpot on 26 September.

National Lottery spokeswoman Dudu Ndendwa said in a statement that the winner told them he chose the numbers randomly and planned to use his possible winnings to buy himself spectacles, a car and a house.

At first he looked at his ticket in disbelief and after a while he realised his luck.

The new millionaire said he plan to spend his winnings wisely and continue to lead a normal life.

A 40-year-old man and his accomplice allegedly robbed a foreign business man of R500, airtime and cigarettes before fleeing on foot.

The victim alerted the community who assisted immediately and gave chase. They caught up with the suspect and beat him un-til he collapsed. The accomplice escaped.

After the man regained consciousness he

pointed out that his accomplice resided in Mzombane, another village near Mahwelereng. Community members forced the man to search for his accomplice with them, he, however, passed away in the vehicle they were transporting him in.

The Mahwelereng police was then called in and 33 men and six women were arrested.

A case of murder is being investigated.

Genl. Riah Phiyega, die nasionale polisiekommissaris se onlangse opmerking aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Menseregtekom-missie (SAMRK) dat mense se persepsies oor plaasmoorde bestuur moet word, het vurige reaksie ontketen.

Phiyega het tydens die MRK se open-bare verhoor gesê die polisie beplan om ’n program dwarsoor die land van stapel te stuur om die publiek se emosies oor plaas-moorde te bestuur en dat die ware probleem nie die moorde op plase is nie, maar eerder mense se persepsies daaroor. Die polisiekom-missaris het ook gesê daar moet vasgestel word wat mense se emosies oor plaasmoorde aanvuur. “Is dit dít wat hulle in die koerante lees of dat hulle werklik nie veilig voel nie?”, het sy gesê tydens die verhoor.

Ook in Limpopo het families van slagof-fers na vore gekom en Phiyega as vermetel beskryf.

Haar verklaring is op ’n sekere Facebook-bladsy geplaas waar dit heftige reaksie uit-gelok het. Een Facebook gebruiker het gesê Phiyega is uit voeling met die werklikhede wat op plase heers. Nog iemand op dié so-siale netwerk het gesê die polisiekommissaris sinspeel daarop dat plaasmoorde nie so erg is

Boere sien rooi oor plaasmoord opmerkingas wat mense dink nie terwyl ’n ander sê sy het nie ’n benul van die brutaliteit van plaas-moorde nie.

Noordelike Nuus het met Gloudie Thomas, die dogter van die vermoorde eg-paar, Gloudine (65) en Johan van Rensburg (77) van Baltimore gepraat oor haar persep-sie van plaasmoorde. Thomas en haar broer, Hanno van Rensburg, het sedert 2002 reeds vier familielede aan plaasmoorde afgestaan. Hulle kleinneef Douw van Tonder (24) is op 20 Junie 2002 op sy plaas tussen Ellisras en Marken deur aanvallers met ’n jagmes gesteek en aangerand. Sy beserings was noodlottig.

Gloudine en Johan van Renburg het in hul plaashuis gesterf na aanvallers hulle oorval en geskiet het. Johan is in sy bed doo-dgeskiet en Gloudine is later in die hospitaal se intensiewe sorgeenheid oorlede. “Ek het die dood van my ouers herleef toe my oom Sarel van Rensburg, my oorlede pa se broer, in September op sy plaas vermoor is,” het ’n getraumatiseerde Thomas Dinsdag aan Noordelike Nuus gesê.

Thomas is onder sielkundige behandel-ing, op medikasie en gaan vir fisioterapie en sê haar gespanne lewe is te wyte aan al die trauma. “Die staat staan ons nie by nie,” het sy gesê.

Daar was ‘n afname in plaasaanvalle oor die afgelope vier jaar, het die nasionale polisie kommissaris, Riah Phiyega, verlede Maandag tydens die Menseregte kommissie se openbare verhoor oor veiligheid en seku-riteit van plaasgemeenskappe gesê.

Volgens die polisie se voorlegging by die verhoor was daar 71 plaasmoorde gepleeg tussen 2010 en 2011 met 665 aanvalle op plase wat vir hierdie tyd aangemeld is. In die volgende aanmeldingsjaar 2011/12 was daar 56 moorde en 514 aanvalle, maar in 2012/13 se syfers is daar weer ‘n toename tot 60 moorde en 556 aanvalle. Die afgelope jaar is daar 58 moorde gepleeg in 402 plaasaanvalle.

Phiyega het verduidelik dat die polisie nie meer onderskeid maak tussen plaasaanvalle en huis-roof nie. Daar word geen onderskeid gemaak tus-sen misdade op plase en ander gebiede nie. “Die landbougemeenskap is vir ons belangrik, maar ons glo daaraan om oral op die grond te wees en nie in af-sonderlike polisiëring nie,” het sy gesê.

TLU-SA se assistent hoofbestuurder, Genl. Chris van Zyl, sê dit is nie heeltemal regverdig om plase en die res van die land oor dieselfde kam te wil skeer nie. “Tensy die polisie kan verseker dat boere en die kabinetsministers wat in Bishop’s Court woon dieselfde vlak van beskerming geniet. Hulle betaal immers dieselfde belasting,” sê hy.

Van Zyl sê die konsep van plaasveiligheid is oor die jare al hoe meer afgewater deur dit te verbreed tot landelike veiligheid. Hy sê hoewel ander misdaad in ander lande-like gebiede ook aandag verdien, is dit boere wat vermoor word, meer as enige iemand anders.

Van Zyl sê hy stem saam met Dr. Johan Burger van die Instituut vir Sekerheidstud-ies dat boere weerloos gelaat is toe oud-president, Thabo Mbeki die komandostelsel in 2003 afgeskaf het. Sedertdien is daar per kapita twee keer soveel boere as polisielede in Suid-Afrika vermoor en drie keer meer boere as die nasionale gemiddeld vir moorde in die land.

Burger het in sy voorlegging aan die kommissie gesê daar is destyds gevoel dat kommando’s bloot verlengings van regse gro-eperings was en dat swartmense nie in die kommandostelsel verteenwoordig was nie.

Van Zyl sê egter beide wit en swart mense ly nou onder misdaad in landboudis-trikte. Hy sê almal in landelike gebiede is in die steek gelaat deur die regering en polisie

wat nooit oud-president Mbeki se beloftes van ‘n nuwe burgerlike polisiëringstelsel in die plek van komando’s geïmplimenteer het nie.

Howel plaasaanvalle altyd gewelddadig is en aanvallers dikwels rassistiese taal ge-bruik, het Burger dit duidelik gemaak het dat plaasaanvalle op blanke boere nie deur ras of politiek aangedryf word nie, maar suiwer deur die inhaligheid van rowers.

Die afgelope jaar is daar 58 moorde gepleeg in 402

plaasaanvalle.


Hitch-hikers hijack carA motorist was assaulted and his car hijacked when he gave three men a lift from the Marapong car wash to the Spar store, also in Marapong, on Saturday.

The three approached the man for a lift when he passed by the car wash. They got in and asked him to drop them off at the Spar, but on their way there they produced a firearm and pointed it at the driver when he stopped at Religogile street.

He was forced from the vehicle and assaulted. They then tied his hands and feet and dropped off at the informal settle-ment next to Matimba power station.

Police are investigating the case, but to date no arrests have been made.

Renosterstropers slaan toeTwee renosterkoeie en ‘n bulkalfie is Dinsdag op ‘n plaas in die Stockpoort area gestroop.

Omstreeks 03:10 het die plaaseienaar ‘n oproep ontvang dat daar twee renosterkoeie en een bulkalfie deur drie verdagtes geskiet is op sy plaas. Lede van die publiek het gehelp spoorsny en gou is die horings en ‘n geweer in die bos gevind nie vêr van die toneel af nie.

Een van die drie verdagtes is vasgetrek en aan die Polisie oor-handig. Die verdagte is gearresteer deur A.O Jan Oberholzer en is na Lephalale polisiestasie toe geneem.

Die kalfie het nog gelewe teen 17:00, maar was met sy gesig vasgevang onder sy ma se lyf en omdat sy rug afgeskiet was kon hy nie uitkom nie. ‘n veearts vanaf Thabazimbi is uitgeroep, maar die kalfie kon nie gered word nie. - Mariska Ehlers

Marie Hurter – Lephalale

Samantha Landman, ‘n matriekleerling van Ellisras Hoërskool, is oor die naweek erg beseer toe haar bakkie ‘n bak-steenmuur getref het by die drie-rigting stop waar OR Tambo- en Nelson Mandela-rylane byme-kaarkom.

Die oorsaak van die ongeluk is nie bekend nie.

Samantha het veel-vuldige inwendige-, nek- en kopbeserings op-gedoen en is tans in die intensiewe sorgeenheid van die Unitas hospitaal in Pretoria.

Volgens Samantha se pa, Larry, is ver-skeie skanderings en toetse reeds uitgevoer en is die prognose dat haar inwendige beserings mettertyd sal herstel, maar is daar nog nie uitsluitsel oor haar nek- en kopbeserings nie, aangesien die swellings eers moet verminder. Gevolglik is Samantha steeds onder verdowing.

Haar tweelingsuster, Melissa, is gedurig aan Samantha se sy. Melissa sê dat Samantha wel reageer op haar en ander familielede se teenwoordigheid.

Guard hijacked and shotA security guard was hijacked and shot last Friday in Marapong. The alleged hijacker then took the guard's company vehicle.

The guard got into his private vehicle to get help but lost control and drove into a private dwelling where a 41-year-old woman was asleep in her bed.

Both the guard and the woman were taken to hospital to receive treatment for their injuries.

A case of carjacking and attempted mur-der is being investigated by the Lephalale Police.

Members of the community can assist the Police by being on the lookout for a motor vehicle with the registration number WHT 071 GP.

A 50-year-old man was sentenced to 16 years in prison by in the Mahwelereng regional court last week after he was con-victed for raping his 14-year-old niece.

The man was home alone with his niece when he asked her to assist him with the DVD-player.

While the victim was distracted, he reportedly grabbed her and pulled her into his bedroom where he forcefully un-dressed and raped her.

Police mop up illegal foreignersAlmost 70 foreigners were arrested in Lephalale, Witpoort and Steenbokpan during a clean-up operation held by police on Monday.

Foreigners later had a second opportunity to present their work and living permits at the police station.

Those who could show the necessary documents were released and the rest appeared in Lephalale Magis-trate’s Court on Tuesday.

Illegal imigrants remain a big problem in Lephalale as many came here to find jobs when the local construction and building industry boomed. But with the building industry in the doldrums, most of these foreigners are now unemployed with many resorting to crime.

They love music, making it, mixing beats and remixing songs into new creations – DJs Nteeze and Andy from Mawhelereng has tasted some international success and love to share their passion for music.

Daniel Lesiba Langa (Nteeze) and Andrew Modipane (Andy) have released various CD’s under the name DOWA Entertainment and is working on their first full album.

Nteeze lives in Mahwelereng Zone 1 (Black Rock) and mixes music in a studio in his backyard. Andy is originally from Mpuma-langa with a background in tourism, but moved to Mahwelereng in 2011 to pursue his music career.

The two made contact with André Har-ris, a house DJ from Chicago via Facebook a few years ago and sent him clips of their mix recordings. Since then, they have released a series of singles of quality house music, which Harris has released internationally on their behalf. They have had recordings in-

A century-old corporation officially opened its doors in Mokopane last week Thurs-day. ESCO Corporation is an independent developer and manufacturer of highly engineered wear parts and replacement products used in mining, construction, industrial, oil and gas ap-plications.

For more than 100 years, product innovation and their expertise in metal-lurgy, tribology (the science of wear) and manufacturing are core to their success.

Esco’s reputation is self explanatory as this Port-land founded corporation employs more than 4900 global employees operat-ing in 24 countries over six continents, consisting of 28 manufacturing facilities and has over 60 sales and distri-bution offices.

Matriekafskeid 2014 - 'n SprokiesaandVerlede Vrydag het Ellisras Hoërskool hul matriekafskeid gevier met ‘n skitter geleentheid in die Mogol funksiesaal in die geselskap van Arno Jordaan. Daar was kreatiewe vervoermiddele, soos ‘n trekker met 'n wa, ‘n helikopter en ‘n paar outydse spogmotors. Die tema vir die matriekafskeid was pouvere. Die matrieks bedank Alet Vos, Susan (Tier) du Plessis en die matriek personeel.


“Daar is baie negatiewe “R-woorde” in ouerskap: die roede, rottang, rapse, redekawel en rebellie.

Die 5 R’e van dissipline met deernis het egter hiermee niks te make nie, want dit gaan nie oor die hantering van wange-drag nie, maar oor die voorkoming daarvan.

Dit funksioneer soos ‘n rank raam vir ‘n slap rankplant – dit help die plant om sterk en regop te groei. Die vyf aspekte wat breedvoerig ontgin gaan word lê ‘n proaktiewe basis vir dis-sipline sodat snoeiwerk minder nodig is. ‘n Jong boom wat nie gestut was nie is so krom dat snoei dit later nie meer kan reguit kry nie. So is dit met die hierdie vyf fondamente vir dissipline. Tensy ons dit vroeg lê, raak die praktiese snoeiwerk van dissipline elke jaar wat ons kinders ouer word moeiliker. Ouers wat met mening die rank raam van die R R ‘e bou, sukkel min met rapse en rebellie.” (Hettie Brittz: Kweek Dis-sipline met Deernis)

Daar was vermaak vir oud en jonk by die Bierfees wat Saterdag by die Lephalale Junction gehou is.

Daar was ‘n optrede deur die studente van die MC Dance Studio en toe het die jongspan bymekaargekom om vir Grompie en Bolla te sien - die gesiggies het om-trent opgehelder toe ‘n groot horinglose renoster en sy maaitjie, Bolla die seekoei (foto), agter die verhoog uitkom.

‘n Mokopane evangelis, tesame met geestelike leiers van verskeie kerke en skole, in is in die proses om die dorp vir Jesus te probeer wen.

Daan Holtzhausen sê die bogenoemde inisiatief het ‘n ruk gelede posgevat. Hy is aktief by skole betrokke om die evangelie van Jesus te verkondig tydens hul openings in die oggende. Hy mik egter vir groter dinge en wil die hele ge-meenskap by sy plan betrek. Daarom het Holtzhausen met die dorp se skole, kerke en ook die stadsraad hieroor gesels en ‘n positiewe reaksie gekry.

Die gemeenskap word genooi na 'n geleentheid waar ‘n groot kruis op 22 Oktober aan die Suidekant van die dorp opgerig gaan word. Lees meer hieroor in volgende week se Noordelike Nuus of kontak vir Daan Holtzhausen by sel: 082 507 6487 of ds. Jacques Erasmus by sel: 072 653 9845.

Mokopane vir Jesus

Lephalale geniet heerlike Bierfees Dié twee maats het die gehoor op hulle

tone gehou met 'n treintjie wat regoor die terrein gestrek het, verby al die stalletjies. Kinders en ouers in die gehoor het 'n 'eed' afgelê dat hulle die diere van die natuur sal oppas en nie onnodig sal doodmaak nie.

Daarop het optredes deur verskeie kunstenaars gevolg terwyl die jongspan op springkastele kon baljaar.

Audrey’s Riding school hosts a holiday camp every October. This camp is for all kids aged 5 and older. With smiles this wide (photo right) you can be sure that this year’s camp was en-joyed. The campers complete a muddy obstacle course. Under, over, in mud and on the swing, over a pool of more mud, they worked together and learned to be a team. Sports, horse riding, swimming in the farm dam, and working as a team were just some of the things planned. Pic-tured here are Cayla Essakow, Sebastian Mostert, Michelle Duvenhage, Andeon Jordaan, Thinus Jacobs, Anri Eloff, Bjrön Marais, Simone Mostert, Jessica Essakow, Cariska Pieters, Lizemari Jordaan, Wilhelm McAlpine, and Zandrè Jacobs.

Potgietersrus rugbyklub vier op 18 Oktober sy 95ste besta-ansjaar met ‘n reünie van oud-spelers wat oor die jare vir die klub uitgedraf het. En watter beter manier vir rugbyspelers om reünie te hou as met ‘n rugbywedstryd.

Altesaam 45 ‘Ou Manne’ sê die klub se huidige span om 15h30 op Hoërskool Piet Potgieter se A-veld die stryd aan. Die ‘Golden Oldies’ gaan goue rugbybroeke dra wat beteken die jong manne moet hulle met bietjie meer respek behandel en mag hulle nie duik nie. Onder hierdie veterane is die 74-jarige Charles Hamilton, Dudley McNight, Glen du Plessis, Riaan Hamilton, Schalk Bruwer, Wynand Swanepoel en Hennie Grobler.

Spesiale truie word vir hierdie geleentheid gemaak waarop die oorspronklike klub embleem en ook die nuwe een geborduur word. Ondersteuners kan ook van hierdie truie bestel.

Die naweek word afgeskop met ‘n potjie gholf Vrydagmiddag en afgesluit met ‘n onthaal by die Kameeldoringklub se lapa om 19:00 Saterdagaand. Die hele gemeenskap is welkom om die aand saam met die klub te kom geniet, maar moet asseblief by-woning bevestig by Pierre van Heerden 082 802 6414 of Zandri Schoeman 082 551 5530.

Die Ellisras Aquatics swemklub het verlede Saterdag hul tweede Sprint Gala aangebied by die Mogol klub in Lephalale.

Swemmers van 15 swemklubs en nie-geregis-treerde swemmers is uitgenooi om aan die gala deel te neem.

Ellisras Aquatics van Lephalale het 38 medaljes ingepalm (19 goud, 9 silwer en 10 brons) en TUKS Limpopo van Mokopane het ook 38 medaljes losgeswem (4 goud, 14 silwer en 20 brons).

Die Victor en Victrix Ludorum van Laerskool Bos-veld en Laerskool Krugerpark het mekaar ook tydens die gala die stryd aangesê, maar die keer vir hul onderskeie swem klubs.

In die afdeling meisies o/11 het Marushka Geyser (Laerskool Bosveld se Senior Victrix Ludorum) en Bernice Laboff (Laerskool Krugerpark se Senior Victrix Ludorum) gesorg vir groot opwinding. Marushka het drie goue medaljes gewen en Bernice twee goues.

In die afdeling Senior Victor Ludorum het GJ Roets en Franco Botha (seuns o/12) mekaar ook meegeding en GJ het een goud en drie silwermedaljes gewen en Franco vier brons medaljes.

Ané Besseling en Leoné van Schalkwyk (Junior Victrix Ludorum vir meisies o/8) het ook nie vir die ander swemmers teruggestaan nie en het in hul onderskeie items telkens onder die eerste drie plekke geëindig.

Die Ellisras Sprint Gala is beslis ‘n moet vir elke swemmer en toeskouer deurdat daar vermaak vir oud en jonk so tussen die swem deur aangebied word. Van “spot” pryse tot danskompetisies.

Swemmers sien nou uit na die Limpopo Skole Kampioenskappe wat plaasvind vanaf 17-19 Oktober 2014.
