<strong>Lyksak</strong>, <strong>kis</strong> <strong>op</strong> ho<strong>op</strong><br />
Deur: Bertus de Bruyn.<br />
BLOEDBESMEERDE lyksakke en lyk<br />
identiteitskaartjies is binne en bo-oor<br />
‘n gebreekte <strong>kis</strong> <strong>op</strong> die "onwettige"<br />
stortingsterrein in Modjadjiskloof<br />
gevind.<br />
<strong>Letaba</strong> <strong>Herald</strong> het verlede Woensdag<br />
betroubaar verneem van dié insident te<br />
Modjadjiskloof.<br />
Insp. Kamedi Seshoka, media<br />
woordvoerder vir die SAPD daar het<br />
bevestig dat die afval deur ‘n bekende<br />
begrafnisondernemer in die dorp dit<br />
daar gestort het.<br />
Die verweer is glo dat ‘n nuwe<br />
werknemer nie geweet het dat dié<br />
afval NIE <strong>op</strong> ‘n stortingsterrein gegooi<br />
mag word nie, luidens Seshoka.<br />
Die gru-fonds is in ‘n goedko<strong>op</strong> <strong>kis</strong><br />
met bloedbesmeerde lyk sakke,<br />
waarin lyke toegedraai word, sowel<br />
as identiteitskaartjies, wat gewoonlik<br />
aan die voete van oorledenes<br />
aangebring word het<strong>op</strong> die terrein<br />
gelê en bak. Volgens inligting is die<br />
stortingsterrein onwettig. maar bestaan<br />
reeds sedert 2000.<br />
Dit is naby die destydse Duiwelskloof<br />
hospitaal en woonbuurte<br />
geleë.<br />
Volgens ‘n omgewings-gesondheid<br />
woordvoerder moet ‘n stortingsterrein<br />
omhein wees en beskik oor ‘n buffer<br />
strook.<br />
Dié terrein moet ook esteties<br />
geselekteer word en geen gesondheids<br />
risiko inhou nie, en vanselfsprekend<br />
goed bestuur word.<br />
Die Groter <strong>Letaba</strong> Munisipaliteit het<br />
blykbaar, volgens ‘n betroubare bron<br />
nie die nodige fondse vir ‘n ander<br />
stortingsterrein in Modjajiskloof nie.<br />
Die bron, wat anoniem wil bly het<br />
aan <strong>Letaba</strong> <strong>Herald</strong> vertel dat hulle egter<br />
verbaas was toe hulle in Desember,<br />
verlede jaar teruggekeer het van<br />
vakansie en <strong>op</strong>gemerk het dat die<br />
biblioteek en ‘n parkie in die dorp en<br />
nie die stortingsterrein, omhein is.<br />
Die SAPD in Modjadjiskloof vermoed<br />
dat dit ‘n gebruikte <strong>kis</strong> is, alhoewel<br />
hy gebreek is. Hulle het ook<br />
bevestig dat dit ‘n goedko<strong>op</strong> een is en<br />
dat die sakke wel lyke geakkommodeer<br />
het.<br />
Die identiteitskaartjies is ook die wat<br />
aan lyke gebind word.<br />
Plastiek handskoene is glo ook <strong>op</strong><br />
die toneel gevind, volgens insp.<br />
Kamedi Seshoka. Die fonds is deur die<br />
SAPD verwyder vir vernietiging.<br />
Die GLM het ‘n kriminele saak<br />
ge<strong>op</strong>en vir die onwettige "rommel<br />
strooing", volgens die polisie daar.<br />
By verdere ondersoek het <strong>Letaba</strong><br />
<strong>Herald</strong> verneem dat alle mediese afval,<br />
insluitende die fonds <strong>op</strong> die stortings<br />
terrein deur Tshumisano dienste verbrand<br />
word.<br />
Dienste wat dié instansie bied is om<br />
o.a gevaarlike en mediese afval te<br />
kollekteer en dan te vervoer vir behandeling<br />
en vernietiging daarvan.<br />
Konsultering sessies en <strong>op</strong>leidings dienste<br />
vir die bestuur, behandeling en<br />
vernietiging van mediese afval.<br />
Die Limp<strong>op</strong>o tak van die besigheid is<br />
in Industria park Seshego te, Polok-<br />
wane geleë.<br />
Nkululeko Makhunga, bestuurder<br />
daar het bevestig dat die meeste staats<br />
hospitale en klinieke van hulle dienste<br />
gebruik maak, insluitende <strong>Letaba</strong>, Van<br />
Velden en Kgapane hospitale.<br />
Nkululeko het gesê dat geen mediese<br />
afval, of afval wat skadelik is vir<br />
die omgewing <strong>op</strong> ‘n stortings terrein<br />
gegooi mag word wat ‘n omgewings<br />
risiko inhou nie.<br />
‘n Persoon of instansie wat die wet<br />
<strong>op</strong> omgewingsbewaring, seksie 19<br />
breek, staar ‘n boete van tot R5 miljoen<br />
rand of 10 jaar tronkstraf in die<br />
sig, volgens Nhululeko.<br />
Volgens inligting kan persone wat<br />
in aanraking kom met lyke of vloeistof<br />
daarvan, maagderm infeksies of<br />
bloed virusse soos byvoorbeeld Hepatitis<br />
kan <strong>op</strong>doen.<br />
TB is ook nie uitgesluit nie, indien<br />
dié bakterieë van die longe of die<br />
vloeistof van die mond of neus soos<br />
wat die lyk beweeg word in die lug<br />
losgelaat word. Ander siektes wat<br />
<strong>op</strong>gedoen kan word indien gevaarlike<br />
afval <strong>op</strong> ‘n stortingsterrein gegooi<br />
word, is: gangerene, melaatsheid of<br />
klem-in-die-kaak.<br />
Rotte, voëls, vlooie en vlieë wat teer<br />
<strong>op</strong> die afval kan ook bakterieë na die<br />
gemeenskap versprei.<br />
In gunstige toestande kan mikro organismis<br />
binne 20 minute verdubbel.<br />
Toksiese gif wat in die grond insypel<br />
kan ook drinkwater besoedel wat bv tot<br />
Cholera kan lei.<br />
Volgens ‘n regskenner staar die oortreder<br />
moontlik drie strafregtelike<br />
klagte in die sig nl: die misbruik van ‘n<br />
stortings terrein, onwettige stroing van<br />
gevaarlike afval asook ‘n klag wat<br />
indring teen die lug kwaliteits wet kan<br />
moontlik ook van toepassing wees.<br />

HESEKIEL Lebea Raseala, ANC Hoof van Sport en Kultuur vir Limp<strong>op</strong>o links , het glo met<br />
Mabakane Mangena, GTM se munisipale bestuurder gereël vir die saamtrek by die skougronde.<br />

Duisende vier vryspraak<br />
Deur: Bertus de Bruyn.<br />
‘n SKYNBAAR onwettige saamtrek van ANC<br />
ondersteuners het Maandag aand by die<br />
skougronde talle inwoners woedend.<br />
Tussen vyf en sewe duisend ANC ondersteuners<br />
het die skougronde beset en dit o.a<br />
onmoontlik gemaak vir die <strong>Letaba</strong> rugby klub<br />
se oefen sessie.<br />
Volgens ‘n betroubare bron het Patrick<br />
Tswala, sekretaris van O.J. Muswana, burgermeester<br />
van die GTM, die skou gronde<br />
omstreeks 12:00 geskakel. Daar is gereël vir ‘n<br />
"Noodsaaklike burgermeester vergadering,"<br />
vir ongeveer twee tot drie honderd persone in<br />
skousaal B.<br />
Dié vergadering sou om streeks 14:00 begin.<br />
Om 14:30 is die skoukantoor ingelig dat die<br />
vergadering "bietjie later" sou begin.<br />
Ongeveer 19:00 die aand blyk die noodvergadering<br />
een groot makietie te wees.<br />
<strong>Letaba</strong> <strong>Herald</strong> het Maandag aand die<br />
saamtrek aanskou.<br />
Daar was nabewering ongeveer 2000 voertuie<br />
<strong>op</strong> die terrein en tussen vyf en sewe<br />
duisend persone teenwoordig.<br />
Alkohol was in oorvloed beskikbaar en was<br />
glo gratis.<br />
Die alkohol is blykbaar deur privaat besigheids<br />
persone by ‘n bekende drankwinkel<br />
in Tzaneen aangeko<strong>op</strong>.<br />
Hesekiel Lebea Raseala, Hoof van Sport en<br />
Kultuur vir die ANC in Limp<strong>op</strong>o het<br />
aangedring <strong>op</strong> ‘n onderhoud.<br />
Lebea het bevestig<br />
dat hulle vroeër die<br />
oggend ‘n reëling<br />
getref het met<br />
Mabakane Mangena,<br />
munisipale bestuurder<br />
van die<br />
GTM vir die<br />
saamtrek.<br />
Die saamtrek sou<br />
glo spruit uit wat die<br />
hof uitspraak sou<br />
wees later die oggend<br />
deur die NPA,<br />
(National ProsecutionAthourity-Vervolgings<br />
gesag) se<br />
waarnemende nationale<br />
direkteur, advokaat<br />
Mokotedi<br />
Mpshe oor die korrupsie<br />
klagte teen<br />
Jacob Zuma.<br />
Die nasionale media<br />
het laat Maandag<br />
oggend die boodskap<br />
uitgestuur dat<br />
Zuma sy stryd gewen<br />
het en nie aangekla<br />
sal word nie.<br />
Lebea het aan<br />
<strong>Letaba</strong> <strong>Herald</strong> gesê:<br />
"That man, (Zuma) is<br />
not guilty. We knew<br />
it. It was all a plot.<br />
You can’t judge a<br />
person when he is<br />
not quilty. If he<br />
would be found<br />
guilty, unrest will<br />
arise in this count<br />
r y. "<br />
Die bekende "Umshiniwam", (Bring my<br />
masjiengeweer,) lied het luid deur luidsprekers<br />
gespeel tydens die saamtrek. Zuma se<br />
ondersteuners het hulle in hul leier se nuutgevonde<br />
vryheid verlustig en goed gevier.<br />
Die GTM se skoonmakers was reeds vroeg<br />
Dinsdag oggend besig om <strong>op</strong> te ruim.<br />
Die saal wat bespreek was vir die noodvergadering<br />
is so te sê onaangeraak.<br />
Honderde vol streepsakke het getuig van die<br />
partytjie wat omstreeks 03:00 die oggend ten<br />
einde gelo<strong>op</strong> het.<br />
Een SAPD lid wat teenwoordig was buite die<br />
skou-terrein het bevestig dat hulle nie bewus<br />
was van die saamtrek nie. Volgens wet moet<br />
die SAPD, geleenthede waar meer as 1 000<br />
persone is, teenwoordig wees.<br />
Kapt. Shikwambana, woordvoerder van die<br />
SAPD was nie beskikbaar vir kommentaar<br />
nie.<br />
Daar is bevestig dat motors <strong>op</strong> die rugby<br />
veld gery het. Glasstukke is <strong>op</strong> ‘n groot deel<br />
gestrooi.<br />
Gerugte doen ook die ronde dat die ablusie<br />
geriewe beskadig is.<br />
Op ‘n ligte trant, met aanlo<strong>op</strong> na die verkiesing:<br />
<strong>Letaba</strong> rugby klub het nog nooit soveel<br />
toeskouers teenwoordig gehad tydens hulle<br />
oefen sessies nie.<br />
Daar is tussen die twee partye ooreengekom<br />
om die rugby veld in twee te deel.<br />
Een helfte vir bloed sweet en die ander vir<br />
die skynbaar onwettige makietie.<br />

DIE drom gif wat deur ‘n inwoner van Tzaneen in die Tzaneendam<br />
gevind is.<br />
Drom gif in dam<br />
CHOLERA in die drinkwater is<br />
dalk ‘n baie ernstige saak, en daar<br />
word baie aandag aan gegee,<br />
maar wat gebeur as die Tzaneendam<br />
met gif besoedel word?<br />
‘n Inwoner van Tzaneen het<br />
gedurende ‘n rustige vaart <strong>op</strong> die<br />
Tzaneendam nie verwag om ‘n<br />
groot drom gif in die dam te vind<br />
nie, maar dit is presies wat gebeur<br />
het.<br />
Met ‘n prent van ‘n groot k<strong>op</strong>been<br />
<strong>op</strong> die drom, was dit duidelik<br />
dat dit <strong>op</strong> ‘n tyd vol gif was. By<br />
nadere ondersoek het die inwoner<br />
egter besef dat die drom steeds gif<br />
bevat.<br />
Wat nou gemaak?<br />
In só situasie kan enige lid van<br />
die gemeenskap die besoedelingsafdeling<br />
van die munisipaliteit<br />
skakel.<br />
Skakel Donald Mabada <strong>op</strong> 015<br />
290 1200 of 083 633 6631, om<br />
die omgewing en moontlik ook<br />
lewens te red.<br />
Die vraag bly staan: waar kom<br />
die gif vandaan?<br />

Lenyenye mourns the death of its beloved<br />
granny<br />
Residents of Lenyenye township bid farewell<br />
to their beloved granny in a unique style on<br />
S a t u r d a y.<br />
Koko B.I.C, as the deceased Maria Molatelo<br />
was known in the community, died after a short<br />
illness last week. She was 91 old.<br />
Family members said she had an 'attack' in<br />
her sleep and died on her way to hospital.<br />
It is said that before she died, the old lady,<br />
who used to laugh and share jokes with<br />
everyone, told her children how her funeral<br />
should be run. "Pe<strong>op</strong>le must be treated equally<br />
on the day of my funeral," she told them.<br />
She also emphasized that after her burial,<br />
pe<strong>op</strong>le should celebrate the life and times of<br />
B.I.C and that they should be served according<br />
to her wishes.<br />
Koko B.I.C used to brew homemade<br />
sorghum beer, to maintain her family. Her<br />
customers that attended the funeral were<br />
served homemade beer and a goat was<br />
slaughtered as a farewell to them.<br />
"I still recall when B.I.C was still alive. She<br />
used to admire the coming together of pe<strong>op</strong>le<br />
during funerals and other celebrations," said<br />
her granddaughter, Tiny Sedibe.<br />
This type of celebration is mostly called<br />
"After tears" in the township, but it is said that<br />
the old lady would call it "Tata tears" and have<br />
everyone in stitches.<br />
Koko B.I.C leaves behind four children, 21<br />
grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 13<br />
great-great-grandchildren. The community’s favourite granny, Koko B.I.C, laid to rest.<br />
Sven beleef wonderwerk<br />
WAT ‘n genotvolle dag by die rugbyfees<br />
moes wees, het vir Sven Hedin in<br />
‘n nagmerrie verander.<br />
Hedin het gedurende sy sub-provinsiale<br />
wedstryd skeef getrap net voor<br />
‘n "tr<strong>op</strong>" spelers <strong>op</strong> hom geval het. Sy<br />
enkel is in die proses gebreek.<br />
Die voorval het egter weer eens<br />
bewys dat omgee-mense steeds bestaan<br />
- hetsy familie, vriend of vreemdeling.<br />
Hedin se enkel is gestut, en na ‘n<br />
dispuut oor sy sy <strong>op</strong>sies van hospitale,<br />
is hy na Tzaneen Medi-Clinic geneem.<br />
Hedin is pynpille gegee en baie van<br />
sy vriende het <strong>op</strong>gedaag. Hy moes<br />
egter R50 000 neersit voor enige dokter<br />
na hom sou kyk. Sy vriende het vir<br />
hom begin bid.<br />
<strong>Letaba</strong> Hospitaal wou Hedin nie<br />
<strong>op</strong>neem nie en Mankweng Hospitaal<br />
het gesê hulle is vol. Beide die hospitale<br />
het ook gesê dat hulle nie dok-<br />
ters het nie.<br />
Terug by Tzaneen Medi-Clinic was<br />
die dokters baie sinies. Om met Hedin<br />
se tipe breuk vir langer as ses ure<br />
sonder behandeling te gaan, sou beslis<br />
in amputasie geëindig het.<br />
Hedin se staatmaker-vriende het intussen<br />
begin skarrel en R31 000 bymekaar<br />
gemaak.<br />
Geld het van oral gekom - selfs van<br />
nie-Tzaneeners wat hom nie eens ken<br />
nie.<br />
Dr Alex Revelas was in beheer van<br />
Hedin se <strong>op</strong>erasie. Hy het ook besef<br />
dat daar dadelik iets aan Hedin se<br />
enkel gedoen moes word.<br />
As laaste uitweg het Dr Revelas<br />
besluit om Hedin se enkel te herposisioneer<br />
om sodoende dalk die<br />
enkel nader aan sy oorspronklike posisie<br />
te kry. Die doel van die <strong>op</strong>erasie<br />
sou wees om penne in Hedin se been<br />
en enkel te sit.<br />
Hedin se vriende het bly bid.<br />
Na X-strale het Dr Revelas verduidelik<br />
dat ‘n ware wonderwerk gebeur<br />
het.<br />
Met die pynlike regskuif van sy enkel,<br />
het die gebreekte bene weer presies<br />
oor mekaar geskuif.<br />
‘n Operasie was agv die suksesvolle<br />
herposisionering gladnie meer nodig<br />
nie.<br />
Hedin moet egter vir ses weke van sy<br />
voet af bly, en mag glad nie rugby vir<br />
die res van die jaar speel nie, maar hy<br />
bly dankbaar.<br />
Hy glo dat ‘n wonderwerk gebeur<br />
het, en dat sy vriende se gebede sy voet<br />
gered het.<br />
Hy wil spesiaal dankie sê aan Bobby<br />
en Claudy, en aan almal wat hom<br />
ondersteun het.<br />
Die geld wat ingesamel is word nou<br />
aan almal teruggegee, en Hedin se<br />
hele familie borrel van dankbaarheid.

Affairs, Lulama Xingwana, handed<br />
back 5113 hectares of land to the<br />
Makgoba Community at a total cost of<br />
R104 million to the state .<br />
The handing-over ceremony was<br />
held at Magoebaskloof last Saturday.<br />
The land, restored to the Makgoba<br />
community, comprises of both private<br />
and state owned pr<strong>op</strong>erties currently<br />
being used for a range of profitable<br />
activities, such as commercial timber<br />
production, aquaculture, tourism and<br />
leisure activities, as well as commercial<br />
agriculture, which include<br />
the production of mangoes, avocados<br />
and macadamia nuts.<br />
Speaking during the handing-over<br />
ceremony, Minister Xingwana said<br />
the government has approved devel<strong>op</strong>ment<br />
grants of R26 million for<br />
devel<strong>op</strong>ment of the land.<br />

1087 individuals.<br />
"Land is the basis<br />
of power and wealth,<br />

MINISTER of Agriculture and Land Affairs, Lulama Xingwana, Premier, Cassel Mathale, and Mayor of Tzaneen,<br />
Councillor OJ Mushwana, during a ceremony held to hand back land to the Makgoba Community.<br />
Makgoba’s celebrate<br />
transferring assets into the hands of<br />
the community," she added.<br />
She urged the Makgoba community<br />
to use the land to ensure sustainable<br />
food security and improved livelihood<br />
for the pe<strong>op</strong>le in the area.<br />
"I want to advise you that everywhere<br />
there are disputes and internal<br />
fighting, there can be no productivi<br />
t y.<br />
She said the Department of Agriculture,<br />
Department of Water Affairs<br />
and Forestry, Greater Tzaneen Municipality,<br />
as well as Trade and Investment<br />
Limp<strong>op</strong>o have been brought<br />
on board to assist the beneficiaries<br />
with business advisory services, including<br />
assistance with access to markets.<br />
"As government we are encouraging<br />
all those who are in a position to<br />
provide assistance, to come forward<br />
and work together in ensuring that<br />
land is used <strong>op</strong>timally," she said<br />
The first phase of the settlement was<br />
completed in 2005, when four<br />
state-owned pr<strong>op</strong>erties, combined to<br />
create Sapekoe, was handed over to<br />
the Makgoba community. The four<br />
pr<strong>op</strong>erties measures 768 ha in total.<br />
The land borders interesting places,<br />
such as the Modjadji area famously<br />
known for its rain queen Modjadji.<br />
The Makgoba claim was lodged by<br />
Kgoshi Mok<strong>op</strong>a Garibaldi Makgoba<br />
and Frederick Tsheoga on behalf of<br />
the Makgoba community, and the two<br />
claims were consolidated into one.<br />
The Makgoba pe<strong>op</strong>le were gradually<br />
removed from their ancestral land<br />
between 1924 and 1974. They settled<br />
in various areas such as Hammanskraal,<br />
Malepisi around Lebowakgomo,<br />
Ga Modjadji, Ga Mathabata,<br />
Ga Molepo, Makweng, as well<br />
as other areas within the province.<br />

During the special council<br />
meeting in Sekgosese last week,<br />
the Mayor of Greater <strong>Letaba</strong>,<br />

Mokgoba settlement, and<br />
another one at Ga-Kgapane<br />

Janet, Annezell launch<br />
new recruitment agency<br />
STAFF RITE - a new dynamic recruitment<br />
agency, offering professional<br />
service and hassle free<br />
salvation.<br />
Partners Janet Theron and Annezell<br />
Lloyd combined their skills<br />
to launch a recruitment agency<br />
that takes all worries out of looking<br />
for that perfect employee.<br />
They are practiced consultants<br />
in interviewing and recruitment,<br />
and promise to only recruit the<br />
best candidate for the job.<br />
They do not only look at qualifications,<br />
but at experience,<br />
aptitude, attitude, abilities, and<br />
just as importantly, at personality<br />
too.<br />
Their subtle interviewing<br />
strategies ensure that all relevant<br />
information is extracted from possible<br />
candidates.<br />
They will never place a candidate<br />
unless they feel he/she will<br />
be able to c<strong>op</strong>e in their new<br />
working environment and become<br />
an asset to the company.<br />
Their services include all<br />
screening procedures: Criminal<br />
checks, ITC checks, qualification<br />
verifications, identity verifications<br />
and reference validations.<br />
Staff Rite offers risk free recruitment,<br />
and no costs are involved<br />
until the right candidate has been<br />
found.<br />
Theron and Lloyd understand<br />
that recruitment can become tedious,<br />
especially when only look-<br />
ing for temporary personnel.<br />
Utilising Staff Rite’s services ensures<br />
that empty desks are filled,<br />
output is increased and existing<br />
staff don’t become overworked -<br />
reducing productivity.<br />
Their clients range from national<br />
corporate organisations to medium<br />
sized companies in various<br />
industries.<br />
These industries include manufacturing,<br />
production, FMCG,<br />
agriculture and financial institutions.<br />
Theron and Lloyd believe in<br />
devel<strong>op</strong>ing long-term relationships<br />
with all clients and candidates,<br />
ensuring healthy partnerships<br />
with mutual interests.<br />
Staff Rite will only be doing<br />
placements as to ensure excellent<br />
quality and not focus on quanti<br />

GLM under the spotlight<br />
DA councillour, René Pohl of Modjadjiskloof<br />
writes;<br />
A special council meeting took place on March<br />
31.<br />
According to the agenda the meeting would<br />
commence at 15:00 at the Modjadjiskloof<br />
council chambers.<br />
A notice requested all councillours to be<br />
there at 14:00 for a SARS presentation. Upon<br />
my arrival at 13:45, no one was to be found.<br />
My DA collegue phoned, informing me that the<br />
meeting was to take place at Etikeleng Village.<br />
Two tents were erected. More than 8 busses<br />
of ANC members were transported to the<br />
so-called "community awareness and participation<br />
of how a council meeting is conducted.<br />
The meeting only started afther 16:00. There<br />
is a clear distinction between the state and the<br />
municipality. Municipal funds may not be used<br />
for ANC campaigning.<br />
As expected, many promises were made and<br />
food distributred. The media as well as security<br />
police were present.<br />
According to the draft budget the total income<br />
ofthen <strong>op</strong>erating revenue of R<br />
145,282,106 million, only R 7, 126, 526 will<br />
go towards maintenance and repairs.<br />
The Modjadjiskloof pump station as well as<br />
the switchgear is in a very bad state and only<br />
one pump and motor is functioning!<br />
There are 26 wards in <strong>Letaba</strong>. Only R 5, 446,<br />
249 million is allowed for water, and R 6, 244,<br />
560 for electricity.<br />
SVEN Hedin spreek graag sy dank uit, en skryf<br />
die volgende:<br />
Hiermee wil ek graag almal bedank wat in<br />
gebed getree het, asook mense wat hulle harte<br />
en beursies o<strong>op</strong>gemaak het tydens my besering<br />
verlede Saterdag by die rugby.<br />
Vir my verloofde, Elsie, wat my so wonderlik<br />
bygestaan het, baie dankie, ek waardeer dit<br />
baie.<br />
Ek bedank ook die personeel en dokters by<br />
The largest amounts allows for salaries at R<br />
37, 872, 010 and general expences at R 46,<br />
607,361.<br />
Due to bad management the R300 000<br />
allocated for the hydr<strong>op</strong>onics project near<br />
Modjadji headkraal did not realise, and the<br />
R300 000 was taken back by province. Again<br />
correct procedures weren’t followed and the<br />
amount of R15 million was reduced to only<br />
R1,2 million for rates and taxes.<br />
Allegations regarding the following issues:<br />
The tanker truck, the death of two workers<br />
who worked on the sewerege protject, (district<br />
municipality).<br />
The coffin found on the Modjadjiskloof<br />
dumpsite, (which is illegal and not fenced).<br />
Using of funds (municipal) for ANC canvassiting<br />
at special d-meeting etc., The correct<br />
procedures must be followed. Questions will<br />
be handed into the municipal manager requesting<br />
to be answered in writing at the next<br />
council meeting.<br />
According to the constitution, chapter 7,<br />
section 7 , which states that a municipality<br />
must conduct its business in an <strong>op</strong>en manner,<br />
and 152(d) to promote a safe and healty<br />
enviroment, (dumpsite).<br />
I there for urge every resident to become<br />
involved in council activities to hold them<br />
accountable.<br />
There are two forums, namely the ratepayers<br />
assocciation as well as the police forum where<br />
complaints, needs and concerns can be tabled<br />
and shared. For any information I, René Pohl<br />
can be contacted at: 082 925 9159<br />
Sven sê dankie aan almal<br />
die Tzaneen Medi-Clinic vir die uitstekende<br />
behandeling.<br />
Vir my vriende: Ouens julle is regte staatmakers,<br />
dankie."<br />
Vir my Hemelse Vader, baie dankie vir die<br />
WONDERWERK wat U vir my gedoen het.<br />

hulp ookal was, ek sal dit onthou.<br />

community carers in their selfless service to<br />
impoverished communities and families<br />
across Southern Africa. In order to ensure that<br />
our winners have a sustained positive impact<br />
within their communities our Awards’ Veri-<br />
fication Team visits and assesses all short listed<br />
projects. Jet’s investment in the programme<br />
has continually increased to the point where<br />
over R1 million in prize money is channelled<br />

that most need it.”<br />

geleë.<br />
Volgens Tommie du Plessis, die nuwe oordbestuurder is<br />

braaivleisvuur aan te steek.<br />
Die oord bied 'n verskeidenheid van twee- en<br />

troues. Boon<strong>op</strong> is daar 'n winkel om in elke vakansieganger<br />
se behoeftes te voorsien. Daar is 'n gelisensieerde<br />
restaurant, dameskroeg en 'n wegneem-restaurant.<br />
Avontuurlustiges moet beslis 'n draai by ATKV-Eiland<br />
Spa kom maak. Daar is staproetes langs die <strong>Letaba</strong>rivier<br />
asook perde- en wildbesigtigingsritte.<br />
Vakansiegangers kan hulle bergfietse en viertrekvoertuie<br />
saambring om die bergfiets- en 4X4-roetes aan te durf.<br />
Loer ook in by die Tsonga-kraal <strong>op</strong>elugmuseum in die<br />

THE Westfalia marathon was once again a<br />
great success, according to Timothy Nkuna,<br />
Chairperson of the Tzaneen Marathon Club.<br />
Unfortunately, Godfrey Kwati, one of the<br />
athletes, started suffering from severe heart<br />
pains during the marathon. He was taken to<br />
the Tzaneen Medi-Clinic, where they discovered<br />
that a vein in his heart had burst.<br />
Kwati was transferred to Wilgers hospital in<br />
Pretoria. He returned home on Thursday.<br />
Timothy would like to thank all who helped<br />
Kwati, as well as Tzaneen Medi-Clinic.<br />
Timothy urges all athletes to listen to their<br />
body when participating in marathons.<br />
The Losk<strong>op</strong> Marathon is taking place in two<br />
weeks time.<br />

Johannes du Plessis. Van die ander oud-bekendes was ook AB van der Westhuizen, Frans<br />
Barnard en Johan Steyn.<br />
✬ Bepalings bekend<br />
Rugbyliga begin<br />
na Paasnaweek<br />
VANJAAR se rugbyliga begin amptelik volgende<br />
Saterdag (na die Paasnaweek) en al die<br />
rugbyklubs in die omgewing sal dan in aksie<br />
wees.<br />
<strong>Letaba</strong> Rugbyklub, die enigste plaaslike klub<br />
in die Superliga en vanjaar se Driedrukkampioene,<br />
speel in sy eerste bepaling teen Polokwane<br />
<strong>op</strong> Tzaneen.<br />
Dit gaan ‘n groot toets vir die tuisspan wees<br />
en sal ‘n goeie aanduiding wees van hoe die<br />
klub vanjaar in die groot geselskap van die liga<br />
gaan vaar.<br />
Phalaborwa, Bosveld en Duiwelskloof speel<br />
in die Seniorliga en hulle eerste bepalings vir<br />
18 April is soos volg:<br />
TZANEEN Muurbalklub het geskiedenis<br />
gemaak deurdat albei hulle liga spanne hulle<br />
onderskeie Limp<strong>op</strong>o liga afdelings gewen<br />
het.<br />
Dit is voorwaar 'n prestasie as in ag geneem<br />
word dat daar klubs is<br />
wat heelwat groter is<br />
met heelwat meer<br />
lede<br />
klub.<br />
as Tzaneen<br />
Die sukses kan<br />
hoofsaaklik aan die<br />
spangees en<br />
toewyding vir die<br />
sport<br />
word.<br />
toegeskryf<br />
Soos daar vroeër in<br />
Phalaborwa Rugbyklub kom in sy eerste<br />
bepaling teen Bosveld <strong>op</strong> Hoedspruit te staan.<br />
Diè twee spanne het mekaar goed <strong>op</strong>gekeil<br />
tydens die Driedruk en dus is hul eerste<br />
ligawedstryd vir beide spanne van groot belang.<br />
Duiwelskloof speel in sy eerste ligawedstryd<br />
<strong>op</strong> sy tuisveld teen Louis Trichardt. Duiwels -<br />
kloof verras bykans elke jaar met sy vertonings<br />
en vanjaar behoort geen uitsondering<br />
te wees nie.<br />
Duiwelskloof het goed gelyk in die Driedruk<br />
en die klub se vier strawwe wedstryde vroeg in<br />
die seisoen behoort handig te pas te kom in die<br />
kragmeting met Louis Trichardt.<br />
DIE Tzaneen Muurbalklub se A-span, van links: Rodney Co<strong>op</strong>er, Louis Scheepers, Beyers<br />
Steynberg, Jenke Nagel en Anton van Molendorf.<br />
DIE B-span van<br />
Tzaneen Muurbalklub,<br />
van links: Johan<br />
van Molendorf, Alex<br />
Gordon, Kobus Minnaar,<br />
Faan Kruger,<br />
Jan Viljoen en Vincent<br />
Goodey.<br />
Twee spanne wen Limp<strong>op</strong>o-liga<br />
die media berig is het die klub verlede jaar met<br />
'n sosiale liga begin wat vir groot pret en<br />
<strong>op</strong>gewondenheid gesorg het. Almal se<br />
muurbal het daarby baat gevind en heelwat<br />
v e r b e t e r.<br />
Die klub het ook hulle fasiliteite <strong>op</strong>gegradeer<br />
tot een van die bestes in die provinsie. Dit is<br />
voorwaar 'n voorreg om sulke fasiliteite in<br />
Tzaneen te hê.<br />
Daar word 'n beroep <strong>op</strong> alle belangstellendes<br />
gedoen wat wil deel in die <strong>op</strong>winding<br />
om sommer vandag nog vir Jenke Nagel by<br />
