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 />

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 />

om ‘n gemeente te gaan bedien.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

“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 />

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 />

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 />

Collect and observe all types of bugs with this super cute Uncle Milton<br />
Nat Geo Wild Anteater Bug Vacuum. This little handheld vacuum<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 />
observation chamber in it’s belly area.<br />
Kids will love to<br />
explore nature with<br />
this bug sucking<br />
anteater and they<br />
don’t have to actually<br />
touch the bugs<br />
to collect them<br />
(not that most kids<br />
mind touching<br />
bugs, it’s the adults<br />
that are usually<br />
squeamish).<br />
After<br />

you can<br />
release the<br />
chamber<br />
and let the<br />
bugs free.<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.
