Laas Vrydag, 19 Oktober, het die wind verwoesting<br />

gesaai in Carolina omgewing. Hier<br />

in die dorp het ons gesien hoe die lug pikswart<br />

toetrek en dit het skielik koud geword. Die<br />

wind het opgesteek van die noorde se kant af en<br />

met volle mag en mening aan alles geruk wat<br />

los en vas was. In die dorp was daar genoeg<br />

stof om die sig te beperk, maar sover het ons<br />

nog geen berigte van skade gekry nie. Buite die<br />

dorp op die Wonderfonteinpad het twee van die<br />

verkeersafdeling se groot kennisgewingsborde<br />

plat op die grond gewaai. Meer rigting Hendrina,<br />

het die wind weer verwoesting aangerig.<br />

VERWOESTENDE WIND<br />

RIG GROOT SKADE AAN<br />

By Steynsdraai Farm het verskeie bome mors afgebreek en ander<br />

is ontwortel. Toe hulle huistoe wil ry was die pad versper deur ‘n<br />

boom wat omgeval het dwars oor die pad. Die ander bome wat<br />

afgebreek het was al ou gevestigde bome maklik 30 jaar oud.<br />

Interessant genoeg het net die dennebome gebreek en omgeval. Die<br />

bloekombome staan nog. Verder boontoe by Dries Engelbrecht het<br />

dele van die stoor afgeruk en weggewaai. Die dak is gebreek, die<br />

staalstruktuur is gebreek, die totale skade beloop om en by R100<br />

000. Soos ons verneem is daar op die Chrissiesmeerpad ook skade<br />

aangerig sodat dakke en plafonne moes vervang het. Verder noord<br />

na Leliefontein is daar ook vermelding van skade.<br />

STORMSKADE IN DIE OOSKAAP<br />

Ons kan dink dat die wind lelike skade aangerig hier in<br />

Carolina maar ons het onderstaande foto’s ontvang van<br />

die Ooskaap se vloed en stormskade. Dit is in Uitenhage,<br />

Port Elizabeth en op die N2 hoofweg. Dele van die teerpad<br />

hieronder is totaal weggespoel. Dis ondinkbaar dat<br />

soveel water in so kort tydjie kan neerslaan.Karre het oorals<br />

vasgesit in die water tot halfpad deurhoogte, mense het met<br />

rubberbootjies in die strate rondgevaar, dit is algehele chaos.<br />

Dele van die omgewing is tot rampgebied verklaar. Dit is<br />

sover nog onbekend hoeveel mense verdrink het.<br />

Duke Nukem Forever:<br />

The Doctor Who Cloned Me<br />

Taking place right after the explosive finale of Duke Nukem<br />

Forever, The Doctor Who Cloned me is a new single player<br />

campaign that once again puts you in the boots of Earths<br />

greatest ass kicker. The game opens with Duke finding himself<br />

strapped down in Area 51, which has been taken over by<br />

his old nemesis, Dr. Proton. With an army of his own clones<br />

to deal with as well as murderous androids and of course the<br />

alien menace, Duke has his work cut out for him.<br />

Duke Nukem Forever might not have lived up to all expectations<br />

but it was an enjoyable enough experience for the most<br />

part. If you are one of the people that derived no entertainment<br />

from the game then you might as well give this DLC<br />

a miss as well. It is simply a new 4-5 hour campaign that<br />

continues the adventures of Duke in a few new locations. The<br />

action is a bit more intense and progress a bit smoother but<br />

it’s still the same engine that got so many people riled up.<br />

Apart from the new Terminator style robots and two brand<br />

new bosses, the enemies are pretty much the same. You’ll be<br />

facing clone Dukes as well but these are all taken from the<br />

multi-player models. There are two new weapons t try out<br />

however. The Expander bloats your enemies making them<br />

more vulnerable and even popping them with successive<br />

hits while the Pregnator is simply those creepy goo shooting<br />

aliens being wielded as a weapon. Dylan, the foul mouthed<br />

EDF sidekick of the main campaign also makes a comeback<br />

but is a bit more useful this time round. For certain sections<br />

you can sit back and let the opposing enemies battle each<br />

other but as always it’s more fun to go in guns blazing.<br />

REVIEWS<br />

The DLC has a bit of a slow start and I was dismayed to see<br />

more platform jumping sections. Things pick up once you<br />

encounter your clones and these guys also provide some of<br />

the most humorous sections in the campaign. The parodies<br />

and humor is definitely a bit more up to date than the main<br />

campaign was. While it’s mostly shooting there are two new<br />

vehicles sections as well but fortunately they do not drag on.<br />

Escaping Area 51 in a school bus and racing around on the<br />

moon with a buggy is actually fun. There is a RC car section<br />

as well for a shrunken Duke to navigate but it’s definitely shall<br />

we say, less macho this time round.<br />

If you managed to look past the shortcomings of Duke Nukem<br />

Forever and enjoy the game then The Doctor Who Cloned<br />

Me should provide a few more hours of entertainment. It still<br />

falls down flat in a few areas but was engrossing enough for<br />

me to complete in one sitting. There are also a few new Steam<br />

Achievements thrown in for you to beat. This will likely be the<br />

last addition to the game before we can start looking forward<br />

to something brand new so enjoy it for what it is.<br />

What a month this has been. I don’t<br />

know if it is only me or even you have<br />

noticed that this month went faster<br />

than a fighter jet. I guess that is just<br />

how things are. There are too many<br />

things that are keeping us busy and<br />

glued To our newspapers and televisions.<br />

In south Africa, the talk of the<br />

town has been about the trucks and<br />

mine strikes that have been going on for<br />

quite a while. Even the Olympics spirit<br />

disappeared like nothing, such that it is<br />

as if we had them 10 months ago. We<br />

can complain and think that there is no<br />

future for this country, but I still say that<br />

South Africa is a wonderful country. If<br />

you really take time to watch the international<br />

news, you will realise that the<br />

whole world is indeed in turmoil. The<br />

strikes are not only here in Mzansi, they<br />

are in most parts of the world. Just think<br />

of the multitudes of innocent people<br />

who got killed in Syria. The bombings<br />

around the world, religious threats, e.tc.<br />

Sometimes I sit alone and wonder what<br />

would this world be like in the next ten<br />

years or so. With this in mind, I want<br />

to come back to your life today. How<br />

are things in your world as you read this<br />

article? Is your own personal life full<br />

LEES<br />

Om hierdie rede herinner ek jou daaraan<br />

om die genadegawe van God aan te<br />

wakker wat in jou is deur die oplegging<br />

van my hande.<br />

Paulus het vir Timoteus ge-“orden” vir<br />

die bediening – m.a.w. formeel afgesonder<br />

om ‘n gemeente te gaan bedien.<br />

Sy praktiese en teoretiese opleiding was<br />

opleiding as wat enige kweekskool<br />

of strikes, bombings, threats, famine,<br />

drought, e.t.c. You see, it is always<br />

easy to point fingers when something<br />

is happening away from us. But if we<br />

are honest to ourselves, we will see that<br />

we need to deal with our own issues as<br />

well. Good for you if things are truly<br />

going well. But what about you, whose<br />

world is upside down.<br />

Allow me to help you know what to do<br />

through one of my favourite songs of all<br />

time called “Potters house”. It goes, “In<br />

case you have fallen, by the wayside if<br />

life. Dreams and visions shattered, you<br />

are broken inside. In case your situation<br />

has turned upside down, and all that you<br />

have accomplished, is all on the ground,<br />

You don’t have to stay in the shape that<br />

you are in , because the Potter wants<br />

to put you back together again. You<br />

are broken, step by the Potter’s house,<br />

you need mending, step by the Potter’s<br />

house. Give Him the fragments of you<br />

broken life my friend. The potter wants<br />

to put you back together again”.<br />

This song just has all the answers<br />

that we need to deal with our troubles.<br />

Friends, I dont think there is some-<br />

2 Timoteus 1:6 Blaas aan deur Jimi Le Roux<br />

vandag kan bied… Paulus laat die raad<br />

van ouderlinge hom die hande oplê,<br />

waaronder hyself, hulle wy hom vir die<br />

bediening en stuur hom om die gemeente<br />

in Efese te bedien. Met sy ordening<br />

is ‘n paar profesieë oor Timoteus<br />

uitgespreek, o.a. wat hom verseker dat<br />

God aan hom die gawes (of ‘n spesifieke<br />

gawe) gee vir die werk wat voorlê.<br />

Paulus glo op grond daarvan baie sterk<br />

dat Timoteus daardie gawes het. Hy sê<br />

Timoteus moet dit nou net beoefen – in<br />

body who can say he or she never goes<br />

through challenges in their lives. If its<br />

not job related its kids, if not the kids its<br />

marriage, if not marriage, its money, if<br />

not money, its diseases. There is enough<br />

for everyone. What do we do then?.<br />

First you Accept and confess that indeed<br />

you are broken, indeed your life is<br />

upside down. The potter is there waiting<br />

to fix you up anytime. Stop trying to<br />

fix yourself. God has been calling you,<br />

to mend you but you keep on ignoring<br />

Him.<br />

Are you sick? Are you divorced? Have<br />

you lost all you money? Maybe no job?<br />

So what?. God wants you like that, he<br />

will fix you up. He knows what is best<br />

for you. You came to this world with<br />

nothing and surely there is no trailer to<br />

carry all your world belongs when you<br />

die. You live them behind. Do not allow<br />

them( world possessions) to blind you<br />

not to trust and call on Him. The bible<br />

says, “ Trust in the Lord and do good,<br />

and He shall give you ALL the desires<br />

of your heart”.<br />

Till next week<br />

geloof dit begin uitleef. Hy gebruik<br />

die woord “aanblaas”, soos mens ‘n<br />

kooltjie aanblaas om weer ‘n vlam te<br />

maak. Dis soos gawes werk, vriend. ‘n<br />

Gawe is latent, net ‘n potensiaal, totdat<br />

jy dit in geloof begin uitleef. Dan eers<br />

word dit ‘n werkende gawe. Daar is ‘n<br />

baie groter potensiaal in jou as wat jy<br />

tans mee leef, vriend. Ek dink jy moet<br />

in geloof begin om jou latente gawes te<br />

ontwikkel. Dit sal klein begin, maar jy<br />

sal aanhou en jy sal groei.

Uit Die Redakteur<br />

se Pen<br />

Goeie middag jy. Dis middag wanneer<br />

die koerant op die rak verskyn<br />

en dan begin die eerste lesers dit al te<br />

koop en ja dan moet ek reg staan met<br />

my verhaal.<br />

Daar is so baie dinge wat rondom ons<br />

gebeur. Hierdie week het mense weer<br />

groot skade gely met die wind en<br />

vloede in die kaap. Dan skud ek net<br />

my kop in afgryse terwyl ek lekker<br />

binne in my veilige huisie hoog en<br />

droog sit terwyl die wind daarbuite koud aan ander se klere gryp. Een<br />

van ons bouers vertel dat hy rigting Hendrina ook vier dakke reggemaak<br />

het na die storm van laas vrydag. En ek is seker dat na hierdie<br />

skrywe daar nog berigte van alle kante gaan inkom van ons lesers<br />

wat ook getref is. Ek voel regtig om julle almal moed in te praat. Nie<br />

omdat dit met my beter gaan en ek vanuit ‘n posisie van voorspoed<br />

mooi woorde spreek nie, maar juis omdat ek ook probleme het wat ek<br />

nie hier gaan deel nie. Drukmasjiene wat breek en staan en nie meer<br />

ekonomies hertelbaar is nie of huidig buite die bereik van my vermoë.<br />

Maar wat ek met julle wil deel is die innerlike rus wat ek het in hierdie<br />

verknorsing. En ek is seker julle almal het dit in meerdere of mindere<br />

mate. Maar ek wil spesiaal sê vir die wat nou op hul probleme fokus<br />

om daar uit te kom: fokus weg van die probleem. In die eerste plek lê<br />

die oplossing nie daar nie. In die tweede plek maak dit jou morbied.<br />

Daar behoort genoeg ander dinge te wees om jou mee besig te hou<br />

wat die normale gang van sake kan laat voortgaan. Dit is ‘n absolute<br />

keuse wat jy maak om dankbaar te wees vir jou en jou gesin se lewe en<br />

gesondheid. Dankbaarheid maak gelukkig. Die afwesigheid daarvan is<br />

nie noodsaaklik ondankbaarheid nie, maar dit maak jou wel ongelukkig.<br />

Kies iets pertinent belangriks waar jy oor dankbaar kan wees.<br />

En elke keer as die ongelukkigheid jou hart wil oorspoel, forseer jou<br />

om te fokus op dit waar jy dankbaar oor kan wees. Dan sal jy gelukkigheid<br />

ervaar. En van die standpunt uit is dit baie makliker om relevante<br />

keuses te maak. Die meeste mense wat verkeerde keuse maak,<br />

doen dit uit hebsug, winsbejag en ook nood uit.<br />

Die dissipels sien ‘n skare van 5000 plus<br />

wat ver van hul huise is en die heel dag<br />

nog niks ge-eet het nie. Hulle worrie. Die<br />

beste oplossing is om hulle voor dat dit<br />

laat word huis toe te stuur sodat hulle kan<br />

kos maak en eet. Hulle wil Jesus belas<br />

met die wegstuur werk. O nee, Jesus reken<br />

hulle moet hulle kos gee. Vinnig roep<br />

hulle vir Judas die penningmeester wat uit<br />

sy kop kan vertel daar is 200 pennings in<br />

die beursie, wat sê Jesus, moet hulle gaan<br />

kos koop? Weer eens nie die regte oplossing<br />

nie. Hy vra wat hulle daar beskikbaar<br />

het. 5 brode en 2 vissies... Reg so. Jesus sê<br />

bring. Toe gee hulle vir 5000 mense kos<br />

met die 5 brode en 2 vissies. Jesus seen<br />

dit wat hulle het en voorsien dit wat hulle<br />

nie het nie. Hy kan slegs seen wat jy doen.<br />

Hy kan nie seen wat jy nie doen nie. Maar<br />

worries sal Hy nooit seen nie! En ek kan<br />

jou verseker, Hy sal jou nooit in die steek<br />

laat nie. Nooit nie!<br />

JAARVERGADERING –<br />

Voel jy ook , sonder enige hoop so aan die einde van<br />

die jaar? Ja, dat waar hoop moes wees, moedeloosheid<br />

jou oorgeneem het!<br />

Kom luister na ‘n ervare spreker hoe jy weer hierdie<br />

hoop kan herstel. Kom hoor hoe jy jou oë moet wegkeer<br />

van die opdraandes wat voor jou uitstrek in die<br />

pad en dat God jou op hierdie pad wil lei.<br />

Wanneer: Woensdag 07 November 2012<br />

Om 19h00<br />

GESONDE EETLUS<br />

Begin van hierdie week het ek nou regtig geskrik.Ek het vir geruime tyd<br />

die weegskaal vermy en toe ek nou lekker voel op Sondagoggend toe raak<br />

nou heeltemal oormoedig en klim op die ongemanierde ding. Sal die stuk<br />

elektroniese gemors my nou werklik vertel ek weeg 90.2 kg! Dis glad nie<br />

volgens ons afspraak nie. Weer eens het ek myself ernstig aangespreek. Ek<br />

is besig om gewig te verloor!! En gelukkig na 3 dae se strawwe onthouding<br />

van alle suiker en ander koolhidrate is ek weer 2 kilo af. Maar dit moet<br />

vir ons almal ‘n vaste patroon bly. Kry jou teikengewig en hou daarby.<br />

Gaan jy oor ‘n sekere maksimum, wees dan kwaai met jouself en belowe<br />

dat jy onmiddellik weer truggaan na jou plan. Ek sien dat multivitamine<br />

absoluut help om ontydige lus vir lekkergoed te keer. Ek gebruik DS24<br />

wat 24 verskillende soorte vitamine bevat en dit is noodsaaklik. Anders kry<br />

jou liggaam ‘n onbeheerde lus vir kos totdat die nodige vitamines aangevul<br />

is. Verder water drink is ook my swakste gewoonte. Ek vergeet eenvoudig<br />

om water saam te neem werk toe, maar glo my, dit help om jou liggaam se<br />

totale metabolisme aan die gang te hou.<br />

Goed, hoe moet ons nou verder eet? Volg die riglyne van die program<br />

en maak jou eie keuse. Kies uit die koolhidraatarme resepte iets waar jy<br />

van hou. Maak ook gereeld iets anders gaar. Ek gaan nog baie voorbeeld<br />

resepte plaas maar jy kan ook ander resepte gebruik. Jy kan byvoorbeeld<br />

van die dagmenu’s gebruik maar dis nie nodig om jouself so streng daarby<br />

te hou nie. Jy moet wel sorg dat jy streng aan die riglyne van die program<br />

hou. Hoe minder jy afwyk, hoe beter resultaat sal jy kry op die weegskaal,<br />

op jou maatband en hoe jy lyf voel.<br />

Leidraad: Neem per koolhidraatarme maltyd nie meer as ongeveer 5<br />

gram koolhidrate in nie. Moenie bang wees vir vet nie. Eet so veel dat<br />

jy met ‘n versadigde gevoel van tafel opstaan. Dit vat tog weer ‘n rukkie<br />

tot die volgende maaltyd. As jy te min eet dan haal jy jouself weer in en<br />

binne twee uur raak jy dan weer “honger”<br />

Kies uit koue en warme geregte. Maak jou eie keuse. Sorg vir afwisseling<br />

Kontrei Gazette Saterdag 27 Oktober 2012<br />

EEN DAG IN DIE LEWE VAN MAPSTIEKS<br />

Wafdag whalloh<br />

My my baas is ‘n baie besondere man.<br />

Hy kan sommer hier op die plaas koers<br />

vat na nêrens toe. Mapstieks gaan jy<br />

saam? sê hy dan.<br />

O ja, altyd, waar gaan ons baas?<br />

Diekant toe.<br />

Dan stap die baas diekant toe en halfpad<br />

verander hy van koers as die wêreld<br />

moeilik word om te loop vir hom. Hy<br />

worrie nie oor my want ek loop 4x4<br />

en klim maklik by enige miershoop uit<br />

waar hy moet om loop. Maar hy spring<br />

weer oor slote waar ek moet deur loop.<br />

En as daar water in die sloot is dan word<br />

my pens nat!<br />

Dan skielik staan hy stil, wag tot tannie<br />

Tombie en ek hier langs hom staan en<br />

maak ‘n foto van niks.<br />

Ek sien niks van hier waar ek staan nie.<br />

Die gras groei bokant my kop. Maar<br />

die baas sien sy skaduwee daar aan die<br />

oorkant van die sloot en tannie Tombi<br />

s’n ook. Myne? Grrrr, kyk mooi of jy<br />

my skaduwee daar tussen die gras se<br />

skaduwee kan sien, maar ek sien niks.<br />

Grrr.<br />

Daai skaduwee ding is baie snaaks. Dit<br />

loop ook altyd agter jou aan soos jou<br />

stert. Dit sit ook aan jou vas soos jou<br />

stert en dit groei soos die son sak. En<br />

as jy wegloop van die son, dan loop<br />

jou skaduwee voor jou uit. Maar dit bly<br />

altyd op die grond. Ekt al opgespring<br />

van die grond af maar my skaduwee het<br />

net daar gebly!<br />

Toe besluit ek dat ek tog maar regtig<br />

moet leer om op my agterbene te loop<br />

soos die baas. Die baas sê as ek goed<br />

oefen dan sal ek my balans vind. Hiert<br />

jy, laat jy my nou skrik, moenie so<br />

skielik op my afkom terwyl ek besig<br />

is om my balans te soek nie! Ek soek<br />

dit oorals maar kry dit nie. Hoe ruik<br />

balans?<br />

Sien, nou is ek ook mooi groot. Ek kan<br />

die baas amper ins sy broeksak kyk. Hy<br />

bêre soms sweets daarso.<br />

Ga weg Mapstieks, wat vroetel jy daar?<br />

Dit wat jy ruik is lankal daar uit. Niks<br />

vir jou daar jong, jy dink verniet jy is<br />

groot, maar jy is nie baie groter as die<br />

bal nie.<br />

Watter bal baas? Waar bal baas?<br />

Daai een wat Nelleke altyd mee netbal<br />

gespeel het tot Pluto hom gehap het.<br />

Oom Pluto was die anner Great Dane<br />

hond wat die baas gehad het. Pluto het<br />

9 jaar oud en ‘n bietjie geword maar<br />

toe was dit te veel vir hom. Hy het<br />

probleme gekry met sy smeerkannetjie.<br />

Daai een wat hy altyd die wiele van die<br />

karre mee gesmeer het. Iewers het die<br />

spul daar binne opgepak en toe werk<br />

dit nie meer nie. Die baas moes hom<br />

laat uitsit. Siestog. Dit was voor my en<br />

tannie Tombi se tyd. Maar tannie Daisy<br />

het my alles vertel. Die baas het glo dae<br />

lank gesit in sy stoel en so veeeeeer weg<br />

gekyk. Niks gehoor of gesien nie. Net<br />

gekyk.<br />

Maar nou van ons weer hier is kyk die<br />

baas weer nader.<br />

Waar is daai bal baas? Laat ek hom rol!<br />

Pas maar op dat die bal jou nie rol nie<br />

Mapstieks!<br />

Whatever! Gee, dat ons sien<br />

wie rol vir wie. Whoa! Dis<br />

‘n oom bal die! Ekt gedink<br />

dis daai gewone balletjie<br />

ding wat die mense so met ‘n<br />

vliëplakkie of so iets heen en<br />

weer slaan oor die draad,<br />

maar hierdie een moet<br />

mens behoorlik met twee<br />

pote vasvat! Goeie genade.<br />

Is baas seker die ding is<br />

veilig vir ons?<br />

Ag Mapstieks, bedaar, die<br />

ou balletjie kan jou niks<br />

doen nie. Dit kan net jou<br />

kant toe rol en as jy uit die<br />

pad spring dan rol dit net<br />

verby.<br />

En as iets in my pad staan<br />

sodat ek nie uit die pad kan spring<br />

nie?<br />

Dan rol die bal bo oor jou tot hy nie<br />

meer kan nie sien?<br />

En toe skop die baas met sy<br />

linkerpoot die bal so magtig na my kant<br />

toe dat ek nie tyd kry om te koes nie. Ek<br />

spring soos die duwweltjie uit die boksie<br />

na links, die bal slaan agter teen die<br />

muur vas en kom weer trug!! Dit het die<br />

baas my nooit vertel nie. En voordat ek<br />

kan woef sê is die bal hier oor my neus,<br />

oor my ore af my rug af op die grond.<br />

Grote griesels, dis glad nie gaaf nie<br />

baas, die ding het ‘n wil van sy eie!<br />

Oorals waar hy stamp vat hy weer ‘n<br />

ander koers en stop is daar nie by hom<br />

nie!<br />

O ja, kyk net Mapstieks...<br />

Die baas tel sy voet op en terwyl die bal<br />

netjies onder sy voet rol sit hy sy groot<br />

voet bo op die bal. Pfffff hoor ek.<br />

Sien? Nou lê hy stil.<br />

Ek sou ook so pffff gemaak het en stil<br />

gelê het as die baas sy groot poot bo op<br />

my gesit het. Wag maar, ek en suster kat<br />

gaan daai bal nog speel!<br />

So van kat gepraat, Hitler was 6 weke<br />

weggewees. Ons het heerlike rus gehad.<br />

Toe hy terugkom was die klagtelys<br />

baie lank. Hy was met niks tevrede in<br />

die huis nie. Die sondagaand loop die<br />

baas dwars deur die huis om die katte te<br />

soek maar hulle is weg. Maar die baas<br />

maak al die deure toe dat hulle nie in die<br />

middel van die nag loop skrou en mou<br />

deur die huis nie. Dit was muisstil in die<br />

huis. Maandag ook. Maar dinsdag toe<br />

sê die baas: Mapstieks het jy suster kat<br />

gesien? Nee baas, maar ek hoor haar in<br />

die spaarkamer. O gonna, toe maak die<br />

baas die spaarkamer oop en hier kom<br />

die twee uitgestorm. Reguit kosbak toe.<br />

Toe begin die gesang weer. Ek het die<br />

baas gewaarsku, los die deur liewers<br />

toe! Maar nee, arme katte.... Wat wou,<br />

mou mou hulle kan muise vang die<br />

simpel goed.<br />

Maar nou ja, die lewe is tog lekker!<br />

The Steve Tshwete Local<br />

Municipality is being placed<br />

under increased pressure to<br />

revise the exorbitant electricity<br />

tariff increases, as<br />

residents from all walks of<br />

life are taking a stand against<br />

increasing exploitation.<br />

Today the DA, the Concerned<br />

Consumers Forum<br />

and hundreds of residents<br />

marched on the local municipality<br />

complex in Middelburg<br />

to hand over more than<br />

10 000 signatures in objec-<br />

IN MEMORIUM<br />

A well-known and beloved<br />

member of our community, mr.<br />

A.B. Jina, is no longer with us.<br />

He was always very involved<br />

in the community and has made<br />

a difference in a lot of people’s<br />

lives.<br />

Our sincerest condolences to his<br />

family and close friends.<br />

Mr. Jina, you will be missed in<br />

Carolina.<br />

Kontrei Gazette Saterdag 27 Oktober 2012 11<br />

Middelburg Residents Take a Stand Against Electricity Tariff Hikes<br />

tion to the increases.<br />

The increases have had a<br />

devastating domino effect<br />

on the local economy.<br />

Businesses and residents<br />

were suddenly forced to<br />

pay almost double for their<br />

electricity, forcing them to<br />

cut back severely on all other<br />

expenses, which reduced and<br />

forced some business owners<br />

to cut back on staff or to<br />

close down.<br />

The DA is also highly concerned<br />

of the effect the increases<br />

will have on schools<br />

in the area, especially no-fee<br />

schools – who cannot charge<br />

school fees to cover their<br />

expenses. In fact, it is very<br />

likely that electricity supply<br />

will be cut in the near<br />

future, as the Department of<br />

Education simply does not<br />

have the additional funds for<br />

increased subsidies.<br />

With no viable plans to attract<br />

investment and creating<br />

jobs, the municipality has<br />

opted to milk consumers for<br />

every cent they have. The<br />

current economic climate is<br />

making this practise more<br />

and more unsustainable, as<br />

taxpayers simply do not have<br />

the wherewithal to continue<br />

carrying this burden, and will<br />

soon reach breaking point.<br />

The electricity tariffs as<br />

implemented by the Steve<br />

Tshwete Local Municipality,<br />

are simply unaffordable.<br />

Victory for Farmers as<br />

Court Fines Mine<br />

FARMERS frustrated by<br />

waiting for Mineral Resources<br />

Minister Susan Shabangu<br />

to take action against mines<br />

contravening environmental<br />

laws won their first victory<br />

when a court imposed the<br />

largest penalty on a mining<br />

company in a criminal prosecution<br />

for environmental<br />

violations.<br />

Ms Shabangu last year issued<br />

713 notices to mines<br />

not complying with their<br />

environmental management<br />

plans and promised that her<br />

department would close<br />

down “some of what are<br />

now illegal operations”, but<br />

nothing appears to have been<br />

done.<br />

An Ermelo, Mpumalanga<br />

magistrate on Wednesday<br />

convicted Golfview Mining<br />

of two contraventions of<br />

the National Environmental<br />

Management Act and one of<br />

the National Water Act. The<br />

company was fined R1m,<br />

conditionally suspended for<br />

five years. The conviction<br />

and sentencing was by plea<br />

agreement and conditional on<br />

Golfview paying R1m each<br />

to the Mpumalanga tourism<br />

and environment department,<br />

the province’s parks board<br />

and the Water Research<br />

Commission.<br />

Centre for Environmental<br />

Rights director Melissa<br />

Fourie said on Thursday<br />

that the conviction, sentence<br />

and additional order were<br />

“groundbreaking”.<br />

Ms Fourie said that JSElisted<br />

mining company Coal<br />

of Africa had paid a bigger<br />

fine for its environmental<br />

transgressions, but it was the<br />

result of administrative, not<br />

criminal, action.<br />

The Highveld Headwaters<br />

Protection Group, representing<br />

Mpumalanga farmers,<br />

laid the charges against<br />

Kontrei Gazette Saterdag 27 Oktober 2012 12 Kontrei Gazette Saterdag 27 Oktober 2012 13<br />

Golfview.<br />

“If you saw the place, and<br />

the damage to the wetland.…<br />

It came to a point where we<br />

couldn’t get the Department<br />

of Mineral Resources to act,<br />

and we informed the Department<br />

of Water Affairs,”<br />

group spokesman Nick Prinsloo<br />

said on Thursday.<br />

“They (the Department of<br />

Water Affairs) did something,<br />

but nothing concrete<br />

happened.” Ms Fourie said<br />

the Department of Mineral<br />

Resources’ lack of involvement<br />

in the prosecution<br />

“does not demonstrate its<br />

stated commitment to take<br />

action” against environmental<br />

violations. “If the<br />

department … does not have<br />

the capacity or expertise to<br />

enforce compliance with<br />

environmental violations<br />

by mining companies,<br />

this function should be<br />

given to the environment<br />

authorities,” she said.<br />

The case demonstrated<br />

the power of civil society<br />

to hold mining companies<br />

to the law, and the<br />

farmers’ group and the<br />

National Prosecuting<br />

Authority — including<br />

prosecutor Charles Lloyd<br />

— should be commended<br />

for their dedication, Ms<br />

Fourie said.<br />

Ms Shabangu’s spokeswoman,<br />

Zingaphi Jakuja,<br />

said on Thursday that<br />

the department’s legal<br />

division would need to<br />

study the plea agreement<br />

before commenting.<br />

In terms of the plea<br />

agreement, charges<br />

were withdrawn against<br />

Golfview director Albrecht<br />

Frick and employees<br />

Robert Pryde and<br />

Sonita Kruger. But Frick<br />

was convicted of contraventions<br />

of the National<br />

EnvironmentalManagement<br />

Act<br />

and the<br />

Mineral<br />

and Petroleum Resources<br />

Development Act and fined<br />

R260,000 in April this year<br />

in connection with another<br />

company he ran, Anker Coal<br />

& Mineral Holdings.<br />

Despite Frick’s earlier conviction,<br />

Golfview was treated<br />

as a first offender. It was<br />

fined for mining in a wetland;<br />

diverting the Holbankspruit<br />

River and a tributary ;<br />

inadequate onsite pollution<br />

control and evaporation<br />

dams; failing to separate<br />

dirty water from clean water<br />

; and constructing a washing<br />

bay on a downslope to the<br />

Holbankspruit River.<br />

The company had also<br />

dumped rocks in the river;<br />

constructed offices within<br />

the 10-year flood line; built<br />

canals; and “transformed”<br />

3ha of indigenous vegetation.<br />

The April conviction marked<br />

the first time a mining<br />

company and a director have<br />

been convicted in South Africa<br />

of contravening environmental<br />

laws.<br />

Several similar criminal<br />

charges are being investigated.<br />

Kleinpiet’s Dilemma<br />

“You could have told me it was only<br />

a herd of antelope,” Precilla fixes<br />

Kleinpiet with an accusing stare, “and<br />

stopped me from worrying so much.<br />

Anything could have happened out<br />

there.”<br />

Kleinpiet doesn’t know whether he<br />

must feel guilty or proud. Sure, he did<br />

leave in a rush; but he thought she was<br />

sleeping soundly. Then again: if she<br />

worries about him that means she does<br />

care. It’s a comforting thought.<br />

“I’m sorry. I really thought you<br />

were sleeping and didn’t want to<br />

disturb you…”<br />

“That’s why you blew away half<br />

your ammunition to scare the living<br />

daylights out of me and poor<br />

Jock? That’s clever, Kleinpiet.<br />

Real clever.”<br />

Some people react like that if<br />

they get a fright. The scare triggers<br />

an Angry Button somewhere<br />

in the brain and unleashes the<br />

pent-up emotions. It’s a healthy<br />

reaction to the scaree, but hugely<br />

uncomfortable for the scarer.<br />

Kleinpiet shuffles his feet and<br />

mumbles he’s sorry. He cuts such<br />

a pathetic figure that the Angry<br />

Button flips to ‘off’ and the<br />

Laughing Circuit activates.<br />

“But I did appreciate Jock’s presense,<br />

I can tell you. He’s really<br />

a lovable dog – saw that I was<br />

scared and upset and simply kept<br />

me company. Sometimes that’s<br />

all a girl needs. That, and a good<br />

lock on the front door. This openhouse<br />

situation doesn’t work for<br />

me.”<br />

Ten minutes later Kleinpiet<br />

makes a piece of wood fit into<br />

the hooks he screwed into the<br />

door. “See: a real old-fashioned<br />

bolt. Now nobody can come in.”<br />

Precilla isn’t impressed. “So how<br />

do you lock – or unlock – it from<br />

the outside? Say you’re going to<br />

town or something. This contraption<br />

only works from the inside;<br />

ROLBOS STORIES deur Amos v.d. Merwe<br />

that’s not good enough.”<br />

Kleinpiet sighs. That door hasn’t been<br />

locked since the house was built by his<br />

grandfather.<br />

“The times have changed, Kleinpiet,”<br />

using a softer tone, she tries to make<br />

him understand. “In your grandfather’s<br />

time crime was rare. They still hanged<br />

rapists and murderers – and let’s not<br />

debate that one, either. Nowadays about<br />

10% of criminals get caught, and only a<br />

fraction of them end up in jail. Dockets<br />

get lost, lawyers probe into the cracks<br />

of the fine detail of laws, and some laws<br />

are even so badly written, it’s a joke.<br />

Not so long ago they found a child molester<br />

guilty of abuse, but then the court<br />

suddenly realised that the law was well<br />

written – but there was no punishment<br />

stipulated. The message to the masses<br />

is clear: go ahead and plunder. Even<br />

if you get caught, the chances are that<br />

the prosecuting authority will slip up<br />

somewhere and you’ll go free.<br />

(continued from page 13)<br />

“And then there were reports that<br />

the average investigator has to deal<br />

with between 90 and 150 murder<br />

dockets, in person! Now, how on<br />

earth can one man investigate 100<br />

murder dockets at a time?<br />

“No, Kleinpiet, farmers like you<br />

have to be more careful. Get proper<br />

security, please?” She’s pleading<br />

now. “A gun, an old dog and a radio<br />

isn’t going to help much if you get<br />

targeted. Farmers are an easy target;<br />

like in Zimbabwe people tend to<br />

view land-grabs and farm attacks<br />

differently to, say, an attack on the<br />

Libyan embassy. The world turns a<br />

blind eye.<br />

“Please, Kleinpiet…?”*<br />

***<br />

Precilla’s plea is much more than<br />

a request to make the home safe.<br />

Bolting it from the inside is only<br />

part of the solution – of course. It’s<br />

got to be opened from the outside<br />

as well. Maybe it’s a subconscious<br />

wish, or maybe she’s just being<br />

practical – but she<br />

actually gave him the<br />

recipe for success for<br />

their relationship. Try<br />

to lock it in, isn’t the<br />

answer. Making it<br />

safe – and accessible<br />

– is. It’s a delicate<br />

balance few people<br />

manage to get right…<br />

Some people deserve the right to<br />

enter into the safe environment<br />

of the friendship (or love); while<br />

others have no right to violate that<br />

harmony.<br />

Kleinpiet’s easiest task will be his<br />

front door. How to manage the rest,<br />

will be his biggest challenge.<br />

Times have changed: the threat<br />

to relationships is much bigger<br />

(and more intense) than when<br />

Grandpa Piet built that house.<br />

Then you got married and lived<br />

happily ever after. Nowadays you<br />

have to be able to lock the door…<br />

from both sides. On the inside the<br />

bolt is made from trust. The outer<br />

latch works with respect…<br />

MATRIEKS<br />

Kontrei Gazette Saterdag 27 Oktober 2012 25<br />

Gekombineerde Skool Hendrina het<br />

op ‘n sonnige Vrydag van die graad<br />

12’s afskeid<br />

geneem op ‘n<br />

baie tradisionele<br />

manier – eie aan<br />

Hendrina. Daar<br />

is hokkie en<br />

netbal gespeel,<br />

en natuurlik<br />

afgesluit met die<br />

rugbywedstryd.<br />

Die matrieks<br />

konnie die mas<br />

opkom teen die<br />

onnies en die res<br />

van die skool op<br />

die netbalbaan<br />

nie, maar die<br />

onnies het beslis die slegste gelyk met<br />

al die beserings en ‘war paint’. Op die<br />

hokkie veld het die onnies die matrieks<br />

geklop – met hulp van julle jonger ‘alter<br />

ego’s”.<br />

Die rammetjies het die groot graad 12<br />

manne aangevat op die rugbyveld en<br />

gewen met drie drieë teen een. Baie<br />

geluk aan die mannetjies wat so mooi<br />

gespeel het. Die res het die matrieks<br />

aangevat op die rugbyveld in ‘n heftige<br />

kragmeting. SelfsAlwyn Burger het ‘n<br />

draai kom maak en gewys dat hy niks<br />

van sy rugby vaardighede verloor het<br />

nie.<br />

Na die rugbywedstryd is die graad 11<br />

leiers op die gewone manier ingelyf as<br />

leiers van die Gekombineerde Skool<br />

Hendrina – ons verwelkom elkeen van<br />

julle!<br />

SAVF ONS EIE OUETEHUIS, CAROLINA HOU BASAAR<br />

Kontrei Gazette Saterdag 27 Oktober 2012 26<br />

Op Vrydag, 28 September 2012, het die jaarlikse basaar van die Ouetehuis in Carolina<br />

weer afgeskop. Vroegoggend was daar al ‘n gewoel en gewerskaf om alles in<br />

gereed heid te kry vir al die besoekers wat met sakke vol geld hier iets te kope gaan<br />

kom soek. Die atmosfeer was gelaai met opgewondenheid.<br />

Die verrigtinge is geopen met skriflesing en gebed, deur die Hervormde Kerk se<br />

Prediker, Ds Susan Oosthuizen. Die N G Kerk was verantwoordelik vir die koektafel,<br />

en het van die mooiste en heerlikste gebak verkoop. Die Hervormde Kerk het<br />

die smaaklikste kerrie en rys verkoop en was ook verantwoordelik vir die Groente<br />

en Vrugte tafel. Die Gereformeerde Kerk het die heerlikste nageregte verkoop, A P<br />

Kerk het met die mooiste geblomde voorskote die aandag getrek terwyl hulle pannekoek<br />

gebak het, AGS Kerk het al die monde laat water met die reuk van braaivleis,<br />

die Tuinbouklub het blomme en plante verkoop, die Helpmekaar Mienie diens se teetuin<br />

was ‘n lafenis vir die dorstige, en hulle het van Ria se heerlike sjokoladekoek en<br />

melktert saam met die tee bedien. Die SAVF Bestuur was verantwoordelik vir die<br />

vleistafel, wat gekreun het onder die heelikste snitte vars vleis. Die reuk van die Ouetehuis<br />

se heerlike vetkoeke het van vroeg af al in die lug gehang. Die Tombola tafel<br />

was propvol van allerhande interessante items. As jy by die voordeur inkom, het<br />

tannie Ena se kindertafel menige klein hartjies verbly met al die kleurvolle lekkernye<br />

wat te koop aangebied is. Die boekwurms kon hulle verlusting in die boektafel, waar<br />

boeke baie goedkoop te koop aangebied was.<br />

(vervolg op bladsy 27)<br />

SAVF ONS EIE OUETEHUIS,<br />

CAROLINA HOU BASAAR<br />

(vervolg van bladsy 26)<br />

Die tema hierdiejaar was “Lente Vrolikheid”, en al die tafels was<br />

versier volgens die tema. Daar was ‘n kompetisie vir die beste<br />

uitbeelding van die tema. ‘n Modeparade is gehou, en onafhanklike<br />

beoordelaars het kleurvolle uitrustings beoordeel. Pryse is<br />

uitgegee aan verskeie persone wat die tema van “Lente Vrolikheid”<br />

baie mooi uitgebeeld het. Die tafel wat die sertifikaat<br />

ontvang het vir die beste uitbeelding van die tema, was die N G<br />

Kerk. Van die Ouetehuis personeel het die kindertjies, en ook<br />

die grootmense, vermaak as twee voëlverskrikkers. Die voëlverskrikkers<br />

het die dorp ingevaar, en ieder en elk moes geld in die<br />

blikkies gooi, om van hulle ontslae te raak!<br />

Plaaslike kunstenaars het gesorg vir die musiek en pragtige kitaarspel.<br />

Die SAVF Bestuur, Personeel en Inwoners wil aan almal<br />

wat betrokke was met hierdie fondsinsamelingsfunksie, wat ons<br />

ondersteun het, en wat skenkings en bydraes gemaak het, baie,<br />

baie hartlik bedank vir hul deelname om hierdie funksie so ‘n<br />

groot sukses te kon maak. Ons waardeer u almal. U bydrae en<br />

teenwoordigheid het die grootste aandeel gehad in die sukses van<br />

die Basaar.<br />

sucks up bugs just like a real anteater but instead of digesting them<br />

and then fertilizing the soil (circle of life!), they go into a clear removable<br />

Kids will love to<br />

this bug sucking<br />

don’t have to actually<br />

touch the bugs<br />

to collect them<br />

BLUETOOTH SHOWER<br />

SPEAKER<br />

It’s the next evolution of the shower radio. This Bluetooth Shower<br />

Speaker connects wirelessly to your iPhone, iPad, Android phone,<br />

or even your computer to stream music to the shower. What’s great<br />

about Bluetooth is the range- you should be able to stream music<br />

from a device located almost anywhere in your home! You don’t<br />

need to bring your<br />

iPod or phone into<br />

the bathroom (hard<br />

surfaces, moisture,<br />

water sources= high<br />

potential for smartphone<br />

disaster)<br />

The water resistant<br />

speaker has an LED<br />

screen to display the<br />

time, as well as a<br />

control panel to switch<br />

tracks, play or pause<br />

the music or adjust the<br />

volume. You can hang<br />

the speaker on your<br />

shower head, stand it<br />

up on a ledge or use<br />

the adhesive strip to<br />

mount it right to the<br />

wall. Runs on AAA<br />

batteries.
