Superspar Springbok - Nuwe dimensies

Strydenburg victory
The by-election in Strydenburg has shown that under the right
leadership, people from diverse backgrounds and political
affiliation can work together and, within little more than a month
and with a very small budget, do what so many thought
impossible, beat the ANC.
This is a great victory for the people of Strydenburg. It is also a
significant victory for the province and the country.
This by-election is evidence that our democracy is maturing. It is
not only one in form but one in substance where values, policies
and ultimately service delivery determines the vote and not
emotion, ideology and what is often revered to in literature as the
cult of mediocrity.
It is the end of the ANC in Strydenburg and the Northern Cape.
They have finally lost the people of Strydenburg and indeed the
province and slowly but surely the people of South Africa. It is
true that it is the organisation that deserves credit for liberating
the country to such an effect that everyone can vote. But is also
the organisation that had 17 years to prove themselves and
failed. Freedom entails more than a vote. It necessitates service
delivery, opportunity, responsibility and accountability by
government. It was indeed a pathetic and sorry state to see how
the so called ―revolutionaries‖ abuse state funds to buy votes and
force their own agenda on people who are so vulnerable in many
ways. It was like looking at a bunch of hyenas...spending millions
of taxpayers‘ money on events right before the election dishing
out take aways and cheap furnisher and then leaving the
rubbish right there for the kids to play in while they drive away in
their fancy cars, not to be seen until the next election.
The wonderful thing about Strydenburg is that this system has
now been turned around by means of voting and not violence.
The people of Strydenburg have shown that people can work
together and win but more than that, the victory is not only about
power but about serving the people. The town that has been run
into the ground by the Jenkins administration will now become
the example and model for the Northern Cape and the election
that will be forever referred to in history books. I feel honoured to
have been part of it. Danny Jonas is a great leader, who has the
ability to make people believe again in the vision of Nelson
Mandela, that we can all live together in a prosperous society
and that domination should be fought against, whether it is white
or black. The unsung heroes of this election are, however, the
volunteers who worked night and day without pay and often
without food to stand up for what is right and set a new tone for
policies in Strydenburg, the Northern Cape and the country in
general. They will forever remain in my heart.

LEERDERS VERKEN SKILPAD NATUURPARK
Isaac Cloete
Onlangs het 28 leerders van Dr. Izak Primêre skool, in Bergsig, 19 naby
Springbok, die formele klaskameropset verruil vir die skoon buitelug en „n
geleentheid om die ongerepte natuurlewe te verken.
Die graad sewe leerders was baie in hul noppies toe hulle moes verneem, dat ‗n
opvoedkundige uitstappie na die Kamiesberg-gebied vir hulle gereël was.Dit
sluit aan by die erfenis-tema en die feit dat ons as Suid-Afrikaners ons
erfenisgebiede moet bewaar.
Die skool se eko-komitee was verantwoordeliks vir die reëlings en twee
opvoeders, mnre. Davy Links en Charles Aweries het die leerders vergesel na
die Namakwa Nasionale Park, net buitekant Kamieskroon.
Volgens die skool was dit vir baie van die leerders die eerste keer dat hulle
hierdie natuurpark gesien het en dit het die geleentheid spesiaal gemaak.Veral
die fauna, soos die springbokkies het baie leerders se harte gesteel.
Die uitstappie het ook aktiwiteite ingesluit, wat gehandel het oor medisinale
plante(flora) en die belangrikheid van natuurbewaring asook die park self.
Die personeel van Dr. Izak Primêre skool, het hulle dank uitgespreek teenoor
mnr.Glen Hansen(sport,kuns en kultuur:biblioteke) wat die uitstappie moontlik
gemaak het.
―Die kinders het hulle verskriklik geniet en met baie meer kennis en waardering
vir die natuur teruggekeer,‖ lui die skool se verklaring.
☻Die park is beroemd vir sy veldblomme, vetplante en 3 500 spesies. Ook
word aardvarke, klipspringers,bobbejane, steenbokkies,ystervarke en luiperds
hier aangetref. Die gedeelte, beter bekend as die Skilpad Ruskamp, is die tuiste
van die wêreld se kleinste skilpadjie, die Namakwa Gespikkelde Padloper.
Die park bied opvoedkundige toere aan vir die publiek.
