PAGE 4 LETABA HERALD - Friday 10 April 2009 NEWS DIE drom gif wat deur ‘n inwoner van Tzaneen in die Tzaneendam gevind is. Drom gif in dam CHOLERA in die drinkwater is dalk ‘n baie ernstige saak, en daar word baie aandag aan gegee, maar wat gebeur as die Tzaneendam met gif besoedel word? ‘n Inwoner van Tzaneen het gedurende ‘n rustige vaart op die Tzaneendam nie verwag om ‘n groot drom gif in die dam te vind nie, maar dit is presies wat gebeur het. Met ‘n prent van ‘n groot kopbeen op die drom, was dit duidelik dat dit op ‘n tyd vol gif was. By nadere ondersoek het die inwoner egter besef dat die drom steeds gif bevat. Wat nou gemaak? In só situasie kan enige lid van die gemeenskap die besoedelingsafdeling van die munisipaliteit skakel. Skakel Donald Mabada op 015 290 1200 of 083 633 6631, om die omgewing en moontlik ook lewens te red. Die vraag bly staan: waar kom die gif vandaan? Koko BIC passes on Lenyenye mourns the death of its beloved granny Residents of Lenyenye township bid farewell to their beloved granny in a unique style on S a t u r d a y. Koko B.I.C, as the deceased Maria Molatelo was known in the community, died after a short illness last week. She was 91 old. Family members said she had an 'attack' in her sleep and died on her way to hospital. It is said that before she died, the old lady, who used to laugh and share jokes with everyone, told her children how her funeral should be run. "People must be treated equally on the day of my funeral," she told them. She also emphasized that after her burial, people should celebrate the life and times of B.I.C and that they should be served according to her wishes. Koko B.I.C used to brew homemade sorghum beer, to maintain her family. Her customers that attended the funeral were served homemade beer and a goat was slaughtered as a farewell to them. "I still recall when B.I.C was still alive. She used to admire the coming together of people during funerals and other celebrations," said her granddaughter, Tiny Sedibe. This type of celebration is mostly called "After tears" in the township, but it is said that the old lady would call it "Tata tears" and have everyone in stitches. Koko B.I.C leaves behind four children, 21 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren. The community’s favourite granny, Koko B.I.C, laid to rest. Sven beleef wonderwerk WAT ‘n genotvolle dag by die rugbyfees moes wees, het vir Sven Hedin in ‘n nagmerrie verander. Hedin het gedurende sy sub-provinsiale wedstryd skeef getrap net voor ‘n "trop" spelers op hom geval het. Sy enkel is in die proses gebreek. Die voorval het egter weer eens bewys dat omgee-mense steeds bestaan - hetsy familie, vriend of vreemdeling. Hedin se enkel is gestut, en na ‘n dispuut oor sy sy opsies van hospitale, is hy na Tzaneen Medi-Clinic geneem. Hedin is pynpille gegee en baie van sy vriende het opgedaag. Hy moes egter R50 000 neersit voor enige dokter na hom sou kyk. Sy vriende het vir hom begin bid. Letaba Hospitaal wou Hedin nie opneem nie en Mankweng Hospitaal het gesê hulle is vol. Beide die hospitale het ook gesê dat hulle nie dokters het nie. Terug by Tzaneen Medi-Clinic was die dokters baie sinies. Om met Hedin se tipe breuk vir langer as ses ure sonder behandeling te gaan, sou beslis in amputasie geëindig het. Hedin se staatmaker-vriende het intussen begin skarrel en R31 000 bymekaar gemaak. Geld het van oral gekom - selfs van nie-Tzaneeners wat hom nie eens ken nie. Dr Alex Revelas was in beheer van Hedin se operasie. Hy het ook besef dat daar dadelik iets aan Hedin se enkel gedoen moes word. As laaste uitweg het Dr Revelas besluit om Hedin se enkel te herposisioneer om sodoende dalk die enkel nader aan sy oorspronklike posisie te kry. Die doel van die operasie sou wees om penne in Hedin se been en enkel te sit. Hedin se vriende het bly bid. Na X-strale het Dr Revelas verduidelik dat ‘n ware wonderwerk gebeur het. Met die pynlike regskuif van sy enkel, het die gebreekte bene weer presies oor mekaar geskuif. ‘n Operasie was agv die suksesvolle herposisionering gladnie meer nodig nie. Hedin moet egter vir ses weke van sy voet af bly, en mag glad nie rugby vir die res van die jaar speel nie, maar hy bly dankbaar. Hy glo dat ‘n wonderwerk gebeur het, en dat sy vriende se gebede sy voet gered het. Hy wil spesiaal dankie sê aan Bobby en Claudy, en aan almal wat hom ondersteun het. Die geld wat ingesamel is word nou aan almal teruggegee, en Hedin se hele familie borrel van dankbaarheid.
