UNFORGIVABLEA patient did in fact die as a result of the Letaba Hospital’s generator running out of diesel during a power outage in June. This was confi rmed by National Health Minister dr Aaron Motsoaledi on Tuesday.

Limpopo’s MEC for Health, Ms Phophi Ramathuba, vehe-mently denied this and her spokesperson at one stage even said that post-mortem results will show that the death (also of another patient) couldn’t have been as a result of a pow-er outage.Bulletin reported in detail on the incident on 18 June

and we then said that “senior doctors at the hospital warned that a cover up is suspected”. “Things here are in a mess,” a doctor was quoted telling us. Towards the end of 2014 members of the National Council of Provinces visited the hospital and stated that they were not happy with what they found and saw there.

Dr Motsoaledi also confi rmed some other disturbing facts about the situation at Letaba. He has (at least) taken strong action and suspended the hospital manager, Mr P T Matod-zi. Some of the fi ndings that the Health Minister confi rmed were:

• Matodzi went home on the night when the power outage occurred. “A hospital manager may not do so,” Motsoaledi stated in a press conference.

• The hospital’s fi nancial manager used his own money to buy diesel for the emergency generator. Matodzi was warned a number of times to buy diesel for the generator, but he failed to do so.

• The number of vacancies at Letaba is unacceptable and immediate action must be taken to fi ll the vacancies.

A number of other questions have remained unanswered since 18 June’s tragic incident. A senior Police offi cer con-

fi rmed then that an in-quest had been requested and promised to “look into the matter and report back” to us. This, however, never happened.

We asked the Minister’s spokesperson on Wednesday for a copy of his announce-ment about the situation at the hospital, but he said it couldn’t be done and put the phone down without saying good-bye!

• Bulletin will continue to fol-low up on the situation at Letaba Hospital.

Don’t miss tomorrow’s Face of Tzaneng Mall 2015Today is the last day to enter for tomorrow’s Face of Tzaneng Mall 2015 competition and an exciting parade of beauties.

The competition is presented by Tzaneng Mall and Tzaneen’s Katryn Barwise, the cur-rent Miss Humanity International. She also

Joe Dreyer Just spoke to George from the company that owns the truck and they have just contacted the driver

and he is turning around. They were not aware of this and have sorted it out. Thank you to the community who are our eyes and ears.

Sue Ettmayr This happened yester-day Joe. You mean he’s not returning up the Pass? I question why the truck

driver was on the Kloof in the first place. We, as a community, have to stop it. Thank you for phoning that number.

Liz Mcgaffin Sue...we must bear in mind that most of the trucks use GPS. ..and if not from here, the signs to re-

direct these poor drivers are shocking! The odd few are not enough. As the R71 is now a nation-al Rd. ...the really need to be INUNDATING the way with signage. Our yuppie crowd in their gti’s are more of a threat. .. they have no regard for speed, solid lines ...blind corners etc etc....signage needs to display...tractors...heavy duty timber trucks etc etc

Sonja Pienaar Ek stem met jou Liz as hulle van ander dorpe kom volg hulle die gps, en dis die roete wat die gps

gee. Hulle kan Georges Valley ook ry maar weer eens as jy van ‘n ander dorp is gaan jy nie weet waar hy is nie, want daar is geen aanwysings wat se hoe om daar aan te kom nie. Dankie aan die trokdrywers wat so hard werk, en dat die

rakke vol is. Charl Hattingh Daar is mos groot ken-nisgewings langs die pad. As jy jou gps aansit sê hy duidelik jy moet alle pad-

reëls eers gehoorsaam. En as jy van die roete afgaan dan werk hy ‘n nuwe roete uit. Ook as jy leer om jou lisensie te kry sê hulle ook om padreëls en bordjies te gehoorsaam. Of dit het in 1991 toe ek my lisensie gekry het.

Amanda Strydom Daar is mos nou al duidelik gemaak dat te veel ongeluk-ke gebeur op die pad. Mag ek aansoek

doen om kaartjies te gaan skryf asseblief!!! Henru Chucky Steyn Niks word ge-doen nie, nevermind genoeg.

Vlieg kon nog nooit verstaan wat dit is met die moderne mens se beheptheid met sterre nie. Veral supersterre. Vlieg het verder ge-dink dis nogal net dom mense wat die sterre die heeltyd so volg, op Twitt er, Boekgesig en ander platforms. Totdat Vlieg onthou het dat dit iets is wat al so twee-duisend-en-iets jaar gelede begin is, op kameelrug deur wyse manne nogal, drie van hulle, uit die Ooste. So volg hulle toe die Bethlehemster!

Dié dat Vlieg toe nie so verbaas was om te hoor van al die wyse manne, en ‘n paar skraalgeboude-grotpas-sende wyse vroue wat op Bobbe-jaansburg se Westelike agterjaart toegesak het agter ‘n Sotho-ster aan nie. Nie net vanuit die Ooste nie, van heinde en verre.

Dit natuurlik om te kom kyk na die Perversiteit-van-die-Swartdroogte-brand se jongste fossielvonds in die Dinaledi-grot. Hoewel dit nou nie sy wetenskap is nie, moet Vlieg toegee dat hy nogal trots is op Lee Berger en sy span en dat hulle al die goud, wierook en mirre verdien wat hulle toekom. Vlieg spreek die hoop uit dat Homo naledi aan hulle al die antwoorde gaan verskaf waarna hulle soek.

Omdat fossielsoekery en grotkruipery nie in Vlieg se veld van belangstelling of aan-leg is nie, moes hy so ‘n bietjie navorsing gaan doen oor die onderwerp. Vlieg vind dit nogal fassinerend hoe al die verskillende spesies van die Homo genus inmekaar pas,

hoe hulle DNA deel en hoe die kenmerke van een spesie oorgedra is na die volgende een. En hoe die Homo genus natuurlik DNA en kenmerke deel van ander genusse ook. Fassinerend!

Vlieg verstaan nou vir die eerste keer reg-tig wat homoniede is, met name soos Homo habilis, Homo gautengensis, Homo rudolfensis,

Homo neanderthalensis en ander name waar-van hy nog nooit gehoor het nie. Vlieg weet darem wat Homo erectus is. Hy sien hom elke oggend. En dan ken Vlieg ook ‘n paar ander homo’s, nogal nice ouens!

Wat Vlieg verder nie verbaas het nie is die reaksie van fundamentaliste, of soos Vlieg hulle graag noem: Homo eukemenalis, in die briewekolomme van die nuuspapiertjies, blogs en ander moontlike seepkissies soos kansels. Dit kom natuurlik uit die verwagte

oorde. Dieselfde mense wat die bestaan van Homo naledi en haar voor- en nasate misken, misken ook mos nog die regte van Homo sek-sualis en selfs in sekere denominasies Homo sapien var. feminis.

Wat Vlieg nogal wel geniet het is die reaksie van die Homo ignoramus — dis nou diegene wat nie ‘n clue het waar die bell hang nie en

sommer op hul agterpote spring omdat hierdie ontdekking nou weer wil bewys dat Afrikane van bobbejane afstam. Boggom!

Vlieg reken dit is net Homo naiief-ilis wat sal dink die Homo sapien is die begin en die einde van die wêreld soos ons dit ken. Vlieg dink hy het ook al met ‘n hele paar ander Homo spesies te doene ge-had. Homo uniokkulis (eenogiges), Homo engvisieoenis (eng denk-ers), Homo bifacialis (tweegesigte), Homo spinaperforatus (rugstekers), Homo isopatius (eendersdenkend-es) et al!

Sou Homo anisopatius, soos Vlieg, vir die ander spesies godslasterlik wou klink, sou hy kon sê dat sy beskouing hier-deur versterk word dat die Bybel se skep-pingverhaal dalk verkeerd vertaal is uit die antieke tale, en dat die sewende dag nog moet kom.

Hy sou kon sê hy dink dat ons nog in die sesde dag lewe, want hy kan hom nie voor-stel dat God sou terugkyk en tevrede wees dat dit wat Hy op die sesde dag geskape het goed is nie!

Last Thursday a Facebook user posted this image on the Bulletin’s Facebook group and wrote:“Heavy vehicles continue to use the Magoebaskloof Pass. It is illegal and trucks are supposed to use

the Mooketsi road where there is a weigh bridge. This out-of-town truck was on the Kloof at 15:00 on Thursday last week. These truckers are a danger to themselves and fellow motorists. Report trucks that

disobey the law.” Bulletin then asked:Do you think enough is done to keep heavy vehicles from using these routes? • Dink jy genoeg word

gedoen om swaarvoertuie van hierdie roetes weg te hou? Here is what our readers thought:

Volgende jaar se munisipale verkiesing kruip na-der en die Groter Tzaneen Munisipaliteit het ont-waak uit hul slaap. Daar word nou sigbaar gewerk om kiesers se guns voor die verkiesing te wen.

• Slaggate in strate in Tzaneen wat motoriste al ‘n paar jaar lank pla, word nou herstel.

• Die nuwe munisipale swembad (teen sowat R17 miljoen) word eersdaags ingewy.

• Die GTM se hoofgebou se dak word uiteindelik herstel (waar daar al met ‘n harde reënbui sam-brele in die raadsaal gebruik is).

• Die waterspuitfontein voor die hoofgebou word uiteindelik netjies oorgedoen.

• Tydens ‘n besoek aan die munisipale begraaf-plase was werkers druk besig om die begraafplaas langs die skouterrein netjies te maak.

Daar is ander sake wat nog baie pla, maar waar-skynlik ook aandag sal geniet, voor die verkiesing. Die bosslapers langs die rivier dut steeds rustig

in hul plastiekskuilings. Dit is natuurlik lewens-gevaarlik as daar groot reën sou kom, maar dit lyk nie of iemand hiermee gepla is nie. Dit is nie net onder die Nelson Mandela-brug waar bosslapers hulle tuis maak nie, maar op verskeie plekke langs die rivier van na aan die Tzaneendam se wal tot verby die Talana Hostel.

Die verkiesing kom...

TzaneenBekendstelling30 September

Tzaneen het nog ‘n nuwe skrywer. Estelle Botha het pas ‘n historiese roman gepubliseer en stel dit op 30 September by die BJV klub-huis aan genooide gaste bekend. Die boek is gegrond op ‘n ware verhaal en speel af van 1901 tot 1916. Dit is ‘n hartseer verhaal van ‘n sterk vrou wat baie in haar lewe moes oorwin.

Tzaneen Country LodgeEngelfonds23 Oktober

‘n Groepie vroue van Letsitele het ‘n “Engel Fonds” gestig, om geld vir minder bevoorregte mense in die omgewing in te samel. Vir die afge-lope vyf jaar het hulle die Letsitele KersKuier-Mark gereël, ten bate van dié fonds, maar vanjaar is besluit om ‘n spoggerige byeen-koms aan te bied... ’n vyfgang-aandete met ‘n gaskunstenaar en ‘n ontspanne atmosfeer. Hulle beloof ‘n heerlike aand op die oewer van die Letaba-rivier, om “ons en ons geliefdes se lewens te vier” en “om te erken dat ons bevoorreg is” en “om terug te gee “ tot voor-deel van mense wat terminaal siek en ster-wend is.

most twice the amount!

Dodelike hebsugYvonne du Toit van Tza-neen skryf: The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indiff eŕent to them: that is the essence of in-humanity. — G B Shaw.

‘n Ou wyse vrou van ‘n In-diaanse stam het voorspel dat hebsug tot die ondergang van die wereld sou lei.

“Only when the last tree is cut down, and the last river

poisoned and the last fi sh caught, will we realise we

cannot eat money.”Die vleilandjie is die laaste vir

ons. Ons gaan uiteindelik net die blouape, Indiese spreeus, oliekol, lelike gebreekte heining, aaklige geboue op die oewer van die rivier en verwaarloosde parke hê om aan besoekers te wys.

Ons het ‘n kultuur aangeneem soos Chika Onyeani ‘n volstruis beskryf: voor is alles die ene vere, maar agter is die boude kaal.

Dit wat ons reeds verloor het, kan ons nooit weer terug kry.Dit wat ons in ons tyd verwoes of toegelaat het om verwoes te word, sal nie in ons kinders en kleinkinders se tyd herstel word nie.Bulletin, ten minste kan

geen inwoner sy of haar hande in onskuld was met ek-het-nie-geweet-nie.

Dankie vir die moeite wat julle gedoen het om inwoners in te lig om die vleiland te probeer red. Hoe lui die spreekwoord: daar is niemand so blind soos hy wat nie wil sien nie.

• Dis pynlik as daar uit die vergaderings gepraat word, want lig-gaamsvergaderings is mos geslote, geheim, ondeursigtig. Maar sommige mense maak ‘n lewe uit praat en sukkel dus om nie te praat nie. Dan kom by dit nog die versoekong om tog belangrik te klink...• Die storie van die toustanery by die teater is moedswillig, kwaadwillig, gewoon in sonde ontvang en gebore...

“Written laws are like spiders’ webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break though them”

Give us hopeGive me hope Joanna, sings Eddy Grant (and many others aft er him), and the melody is almost irresistable — it invites one to dance and be joyful.

It would not be a bad idea to accept this song as our national anthem, since we desperately need hope for the future.

Two weeks ago we reported on the shocking state of toilets at a school just out-side Tzaneen; and of a senior education of-fi cial’s arrogant att itude when the situation was reported to her. Give us hope!

Last week we reported on the GTM’s radio station’s fi nancial mess and the senior offi cials denying that they had any knowledge of the sad state of aff airs. Give us hope!

Today we report on the Minister of Health admitt ing that a patient died at Letaba Hospital as a result of the emer-gency generator that had run out of die-sel. Give us hope!

This sixty-year-old man refused to capitulate when he couldn’t � nd a job; and he refused to rely on grants. So he used his entrepre-neurial skills, not knowing that he had such skills and... well, read his story on page 11

and salute him for what he has achieved.

Veerpyltjies‘n Professor aan ‘n bekende universiteit het per geleentheid ‘n eksperiment met sy studente uitgevoer.

Toe hulle by die klas instap, het daar ‘n sagte bord teen die muur gehang, wat met ‘n skoon vel papier oorgetrek was. Langs die bord het ‘n ta-fel met veerpyltjies, skoon velle papier en potlode gestaan.

Die opdrag daarby was: Neem ‘n vel papier en ‘n potlood en teken ‘n prentjie van die persoon waar-van jy die minste in jou lewe hou!”

Die studente het ywerig aan die werk gespring en dit ver-skriklik geniet. Dit was asof hulle al hul frustrasies op daar-die prentjie kon uithaal. Daar is selfs ‘n paar prente van die professor geteken.

Toe kom sy volgende opdrag: “Sit die prentjie met ‘n duimdruk-ker teen die sagtebord en gooi dit dan met die veerpyltjies.”

Hulle het aangehou, tot die prentjies gaar gelyk het. Toe beveel die professor hulle om

weer te gaan sit. Hy haal toe die prentjies af en ook die groot wit vel papier wat bo-oor die sagtebord was. Die wit vel papier het ‘n reuseprent van Jesus bedek en... dit was voos gegooi!

Toe sê die professor: “Die hoeveelheid liefde wat julle werklik vir God het, word gesien in die hoeveelheid liefde wat julle aan die een wat julle die minste lief het bewys!”

Johannes het dieselfde ge-dagte gehad, as hy in 1 Jo-hannes 4:21 sê: “Hierdie gebod het ons van die Here self gekry: Jy moet die Here jou God lief hê en jou naaste, soos jy God lief het!”

‘n Man is per geleentheid deur ‘n straatprediker gekon-fronteer met die woorde: “Ken jy vir Jesus?”

Sy antwoord het alles gesê: “Moenie vir my vra nie. Gaan vra vir die mense wat saam met my leef: my werksmense, my kliënte, my vriende en my gesin... hulle sal jou kan sê!”

Die eerste lentereën wat vanjaar laat gekom het — eers teen die mid-del van September — was baie welkom, maar dit is steeds droog en damme is steeds leeg of die watervlak is baie laag. Dié foto van die Tzaneendam se watervlak behoef nie woorde nie. Joe Dreyer het die foto van die Tweelingbrug af geneem, in ‘n noordelike rigting.

What makes us see redTraffi c jams, queue jumpers and people who think rules don’t apply to them have emerged among the list of thirty things that gets South Africans’ blood boiling, according to a just-released health survey.

More than 1 300 South Africans were polled by the country’s leading heart and stroke treatment provider, Pharma Dynamics, to divulge the things that most get their goat, with taxi drivers topping the list.

People cutt ing in line, folk who ignore the rules, forgett ing to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and load-shedding complete SA’s top fi ve rage-inducing annoyances.

Commuting in SA evidently also shoots our blood pressure through the roof, espe-cially when motorists and/or cyclists jump red traffi c lights, when busses or trains don’t stick to schedules and get cancelled at the last minute, drivers ignoring zebra crossings or when Cocky Joes rip through suburbia or housing estates at supersonic speeds.

Other temper-triggers highlighted in Pharma Dynamics’ poll include anti-social behaviour such as when someone pays more att ention to their electronic device(s) than to you, along with having to go through endless automated phone options and then being kept on hold.

Money also leaves us fuming with high pet-rol prices, having to pay a fee for withdraw-ing money from an ATM, paying for parking when you only intend to pop in to the shops

quickly and seeing salaries disappear in fees and taxes all on the list.

Mariska van Aswegen, spokesperson of Pharma Dynamic said they commissioned the poll as a way to get South Africans to take their heart-health more seriously.

“With 6,3 million South Africans living with high blood pressure, SA has one of the high-est rates of hypertension in the world. Many however remain unaware of their condition because high blood pressure usually has no symptoms. Hypertension is also a precursor and leading cause behind other life-threaten-ing conditions such as stroke and heart disease.

“Stressful situations can cause your blood pressure to spike temporarily, but too much stress could lead to high blood pressure in the long-run. Doing activities that can help you manage your stress and improve your health can make a long-term diff erence in lowering blood pressure,” she says.

SA’s top thirty annoyances according to the survey are:

According to the survey, almost a third of South Africans are easily provoked with partners, call centre agents and fellow mo-torists most likely to be on the receiving end of their anger.

Twenty percent of respondents experience daily stress and aggravation from everyday irritations and frustrations, and almost 40% admitt ed that these usually cause them stress long aft er the incident.

Van Aswegen says if you’re tired, stressed or simply at the end of your tether, it doesn’t take much to make your blood boil.

“Try to take short breaks during times of the day that tend to be very stressful, identify what specifi cally makes you angry and think of possible solutions, humour can also help to diff use tension, practice relaxation skills especially when your temper fl ares and ex-ercise too is a great way to help reduce stress and feelings of frustration.

“Statistics show that about 130 heart att acks and 240 strokes occur daily in SA, which means that ten people will suff er a stroke and fi ve will have a heart att ack every hour. We would like to call on all South Africans to have their blood pressure tested at least an-nually,” she says.

Tzaneen business couple Schalk and Riana Prinsloo have added a delightful fl air to their expanding business enterprise. This past week at an intimate af-fair, the couple unveiled Scaria’s Coff ee Shop and mini car wash to the Tzaneen public. Scaria’s opened its doors in mid August without much celebration and Monday night served as the offi -cial launch party.

The Prinsloo’s also used the event as a platform to inform those in att endance of their oth-er business enterprises which includes Ranie’s Call Centre and Centridge Properties. Guests were welcomed with scrumptious snacks while traditional

dancers provided entertainment. The beef potjie being prepared on the open fl ames

next to the veranda provided an enticing aroma which ac-centuated the Prinsloo’s aim of providing Tzaneen with an escape from the hustle of everyday business.

“We came up with the idea to give the community in the surrounding business cen-tre a place to escape to dur-ing their lunch time, or even bring their clients for busi-ness lunches or meetings. It is nice and private and we

have a fantastic chef all the way from Zambia cooking up the most delightful luncheons.

We invite everyone to come and experience our relaxed atmosphere.”

The coff ee shop itself is hidden away be-hind the Key Shop in Skirving Street which adds to the feeling of your own cozy hide-away. With seating inside and outdoors, Sca-ria’s provides shelter from the elements all year round. Att ached to the shop is a mini car wash which can be utilized at your conveni-ence while you enjoy your vetkoek, pancakes or sandwiches off the lunch menu.

For the avid reader and art lover this hidden gem off ers a book exchange, board gaming table which includes chess and draughts and has a selection of art on display to feast your eyes on. Accommodating and effi cient, the staff at Scaria’s will make you feel at home, and if you are unable to leave the offi ce, they

will bring that feeling to you. “We make daily deliveries on order to many of the businesses in this area and in fact, we have become rath-er well-known because of this service.”

Att endees at the event were mightily im-pressed. The only damper on the night was the failure by Tzaneen Mayor Dikeledi Mme-tle to honour her invitation and join in the festivities, this despite several unanswered phone calls to her before the start of the event.

Die gemeenskappe in Noordwes en Limpopo kan behoorlik dankbaar wees vir die hand wat Solidariteit Helpende Hand in die ophe� ng van hul kinders gehad het. Vanaf Januarie tot en met Junie vanjaar is meer as R850 000 tot die oplei-ding van kinders in dié streke bygedra.

Helpende Hand se Limpopostreek strek vanaf Rustenburg tot Phalaborwa en bestaan uit vyf-tien takke met 75 vrywilligers. Sonder om self enige vergoeding te ontvang, veg die vrywil-ligers daarvoor om krities belangrike ophe� ng- en opleidingsgeleenthede aan kinders in hul gemeenskappe te bied, in die hoop dat dit die armoedesiklus vir dié geslag kan stuit.

Vanjaar se projekte het sover soos volg verloop:• R251 724 is aan 55 projekte bestee, hoofsaak-

lik vir die ophe� ng van kinders.• Altesame 352 skooltassies ter waarde van

R176 000 (elke tassie met ’n markwaarde van

R500) is aan graad 1’s in die streek uitgedeel.• Agt kleuterskole is gekeur om vir elf maande

R30 520 per maand te ontvang. Daar sal altesame 436 kinders by die projek baat vind en teen die einde van die jaar sal R335 720 deur Helpende Hand in die projek ingeploeg wees.

• Daar is tien studiefondse in die streek. Aan die begin van die jaar is R96 000 tot die studies van ses studente bygedra; en daar is nog meer as R400 000 wat vanjaar toegeken kan word.

Me Marianthie van der Walt is die streeksorgani-seerder en sy hoop om die streek se invloed selfs nog groter te maak, deur vrywilligers en onder-steuners te werf.

“Ek voel nederig en oorweldig deur die onge-loo� ike verskil wat ons handjievol vrywilligers in hul gemeenskappe maak. Ek droom ook oor die moontlikhede van selfs groter verskille wat gemaak kan word. Skole en individue wat deel

van hierdie positiewe en op-bouende statistiek wil wees, kan my kontak,” sê Van der Walt.

Indien u ook graag deel van hierdie verskil wil wees en betrokke wil raak, kan dit op enige van die volgen-de wyses gedoen word:

• Word ’n lid van Helpende Hand: deur slegs R50 per maand te skenk, maak u op nasionale en plaaslike vlak ’n deurlopende verskil in die lewens van ons kinders. Vir elke vyftien ondersteuners wat in die streek gewerf word, ontvang ons ook � nansiële bydraes van hoofkantoor, om spesi� ek in ons streek vir ophe� ng aan te wend.

• ’n Skenking: Skenkings van nie-bederfbare voedsel, klere en ander huisware is altyd bruik-

baar deur ons takke en word gekontroleerd versprei. Maar enige skenking, ook van geld, is vir ons belangrik, ongeag hoe groot of klein — elke bietjie help! • Raak betrokke by ’n tak: Ons het altyd vry-

willigers se hande nodig met projekte en uit-reike; u is welkom om by een van ons takke betrokke te raak. Hoe meer hande ons het, hoe groter verskil kan ons maak.

SKOLE NUUS

Forty day countdown… Merensky High School’s staff and Gr 8 pupils surprised the matric class of 2015 with a delicious treat for their 40 days countdown. Kesia Pohl delivered a short address, thanking the matrics on behalf of the Gr 8’s for their compassion and care, and the example they set to the new Plasies. Doran Kleynhans said a prayer motivating the Gr 12’s to stay true to themselves, even in the big unknown world after school, be-cause each one is special and has a specific calling. The headmaster, Mr Mag-nus Steyn, encouraged the pupils to make the best of their last forty days at Merensky and thanked them for their contribution thus far. The matrics then walked past a guard of honour formed bythe Gr 8’s, to be spoiled at the school’s restaurant with authentic American food, Yankees and soda — also celebrating the famous Elvis hit “Forty Days”. Lize-Mari Jansen, Naledi Mailula, Dimple Kala and Andrea Devenish in front, and Chris Poutney, Asad Patel, Nicolo Recht, Thapiwa Gwanzwa and Kayla Crous were some of the matrics who enjoyed the forty days celebration.

Die Cancervive-kank-erbewusmaking-mo-torfietstoer deur die land het ook Tzaneen aangedoen. Die Hoër-skool Ben Vorster was bevoorreg as een van die skole wat deur die groep besoek is. Dit was die groep se eerste besoek aan Limpopo.

‘n Span van meer as 65 kankeroorwinnaars, ondersteuners, mediaverteenwoordigers en nood-dienstepersoneel het die toer van 2 300 km aangedurf, om leerlinge meer te vertel oor hoe om kanker op ‘n vroeë tydstip op te spoor en waar om die regte behandeling te ontvang.

Die Vossies se energie was tasbaar waar hulle meegedoen het aan die samesang en aktiwiteite van die groep. Daar is gebruik gemaak van musiek, poësie, danse en storievertelling om die boodskap

van oorlewing oor te dra. Die aangrypende verhaal van ‘n oorwinnaar, Ma-

ria Muller, het die Vossies stomgeslaan en met die boodskap gelaat dat ‘n mens nie alleen is as jy met kanker gediagnoseer is nie. Dit kan suksesvol be-handel word.

Om die groep te bedank vir hul goeie werk, het die Vossies ‘n bedrag van R5 200 aan me Janie du Plessis, die hoof- uitvoerende beampte van People Living with Cancer, oorhandig. Dit is ingesamel

deur die Vossies wat betaal het om op die dag met hul pantoffels skool toe te gaan. Die manne van die skool se Vyfster-seunskoshuis het ook hul hare laat waai, vir die geleentheid.

Die Vossies se silwer graaf word weekliks toege-ken aan iemand wat iets besonder bereik of die Vossies op ‘n manier gedien het. Die graaf is on-langs toegeken aan mnr Ian van Heerden, die koshuisvader van die Vyfster-seunskoshuis “vir sy geweldige bydrae op alle terreine”. In ‘n hul-deblyk is onder meer gesê “mnr Van Heerden, die Vossies gaan jou baie mis, maar hulle gun jou die betrekking van jou drome; baie dankie dat jy ‘n vurige Vossie is en vir alles wat jy oor jare heen vir die Hoërskool Ben Vorster beteken het en baie sterkte vorentoe”! Hier is Shima Mphalele (hoof-seun), Van Heerden en Jacques Kriel (een van die wyse manne wat weekliks oor die lot van die sil-wer graaf besin) by die oorhandiging.

Hier wys ‘n paar van die Vossie-meisies wat die dag in pantoffels aangedurf het hul skoeisels vir die fotograaf, en op die ander foto is ‘n deel van die pawiljoen wat behoorlik volgepak is deur die Vossies. Met baniere in die veldtog se kleure is geen twyfel oor die tema van die byeenkoms gelaat het nie.

Cancervive besoek Vossies

‘n Suksesvolle eerste in sy soort jeugskou is onlangs op Plasieland aangebied en 25 leer-linge het geesdriftig hieraan deelgeneem. Weens van die goeie belangstelling sal dit ‘n jaarlikse instelling word.

In die vleisbokke-kategorie is Keagan Mey-er van die Laerskool Dr Annecke as junior-junior kampioen aangewys. Merensky se Diané Dent (gr 8) is die junior kampioen en Theo van der Merwe (gr 11) het as senior kampioen weggestap.

Daar was ook ‘n vleisskaap-kategorie en Mar-co Strydom (gr 11) het hier gewys dat hy ‘n man is wat met skaap se kind kan werk. In die kategorie vir vleisbeeste was die junior-junior kampioen Jessica Botha, ook van die Laerskool Dr Annecke, en Nicky Smith (gr 8) en Xander Botha (gr 9) is as kampioene in onderskeidelik die junior en senior afdelings aangewys.

Daar is deur die loop van die dag tien goue, vyf silwer en tien brons toekennings deur die onderskeie deelnemers verwerf.

Jeugskou was ‘n sukses

Tritech, the national science and technology fair, was once again presented at Merensky High School and 203 pupls from Gre 7 to Gr 12, competed with a total of 160 projects. Tzaneen pupils had the opportunity to match their entries with the best from the different regions, be-ing Nelspruit, Bosveld and Polokwane.

Merensky had the most entries, namely 32 projects pre-

sented by 44 pupils. Their projects did not disappoint, as five were named category winners. Three pupils came second in their categories, and two came third. All in all Plasie Einsteins won fourteen gold, nine silver and eight bronze medals, meaning every entry claimed a prize. The following Plasies won gold: Ivan Botha, Alicia Prins-loo, Chris Bill, Michaela Viljoen, Elzette van Dyk, Marlu McLean, Ulrich Koster, Juan-Jacques Moller, Kesia Pohl, Jenna Devenish, Tahiyya Moosa, Michelle Stevens, Carmen Nagel, Anri McLean, Valeriia Avdysh, Precious Nkuna and Ezri Hugo.

It was not all serious hard work, as the participants enjoyed a “wi-Sci” activity at Faerie Glen. Regardless of the cold and rainy conditions, they had to protect themselves against the elements and wild animals with potato guns, “ketties”, bow and arrows and knives. They also had to provide fire with-out matches and pan for gold in the mountain stream.

Representatives from universities like Witwatersrand, Tuks and NWU were impressed with the standard of the competition.

SKOLE NUUS

Die leerlingraadslede en ‘n span senior Vossies het onlangs laerskole in die omgewing tydens ‘n pro-mosietoer besoek. Twee weke van harde werk en samewerking was die sleutel tot sukses vir die Vos-sies. “Ons was baie besig, maar ons het elke oomblik daarvan geniet,” is die kommentaar van die lede van die toergroep. Die skool se nuwe gelukbringer, wat intussen die naam Benno gekry het, en die seremoniemeester, Elvis (Jacques) Kriel, het die laerskole se leerlinge baie stof tot nadenke gegee. Die toer was die voorloper tot die opedag by die skool, spesiaal vir gr 7-leerlinge en hul ouers. Hier is die Vossies saam met die gr 7-groep van die Laerskool Tzaneen.Dit was ‘n baie besige naweek vir die Vossies se nagtegale toe hulle ‘n spesi-

ale sêrkamp ter voorbereiding van die groot sêrkompetisie gehou het. Vier skole het aan dié kompetisie deelneem: Ben Vorster, Merensky, PHS en Pot-gietersrus. Dit is die eerste keer dat so ‘n kompetisie in die Laeveld gehou is. Hierdie ‘n groepie leerlinge van Ben Vorster is op pad na ‘n oefensessie deur die fotograaf voorgekeer.

The three South Af-rican winners of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, all three of them from Math-lari High School, came back from Swe-den recently. They represented SA at the Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP) during the World Wa-ter Week, where they competed against pu-pils from more than thirty countries.

This follows them winning the annual SA Youth Water Prize at the Water and San-itation Youth Sum-mit. The winners, Mashele Mmabatho Camilla, Makhumbi-la Hlengi Hulani and Nukeri Hlonipho Ed-gar, all from Mathlari High School at Shik-wambani Village, Mhalaba Cross, Tzaneen, went to Sweden to showcase how they use cellular phones to control a water flow system.

They were inspired by the con-tinuous water pipe bursts in their village and put together a water conservation project. This pro-ject, if implemented, can help the Mopani District Municipality as the region’s water service au-thority with distribution of equal amounts of water per household and also help to fix water leaks, thus minimizing the big water losses.

By winning the SAYWP they qualified for bursaries for careers in the water sector of R15 000 to-wards tertiary education at the university of their choice, a sub-sistence allowance of R2 000, a cash price of R8 000 and a laptop.

“We want to encourage the youth to emulate us and come up with other methods of saving wa-ter because water does not have

a substitute. They should not be afraid of hard work because at the end it pays. The youth should join this competition and help the Department of Water and Sanita-tion to solve water challenges in the country,” said one of the three members of the group.

“We are very excited for such a technological invention from our school and the learners have now placed our school in the world map and we thank their coordi-nator,” said Mr Tom Tom Hiliza, the headmaster of the school.

These young science inventers were determined to bring home the first prize but a pupil from the USA won the 2015 Stockholm Junior Water Prize by inventing a filter that through nanotechnol-ogy removes toxic heavy metals from electronic waste in drinking water and industrial water — a method that could revolutionize the future of how we treat water.

SMITADVISEURS

The assisted suicide debate was elevated in the news earlier this year when Robin Stran-sham-Ford — a terminally ill cancer patient — won a ruling in the Pretoria High Court, granting him permission to take his own life with the aid of a doctor. The ruling stated that the doctor who would assist Stransham-Ford would not be criminally charged for the act. Ironically, Stransham-Ford passed away hours before the ruling.

While this ground-breaking case raises many ethical and legal questions, one less-talked about potential implication is that of life cover:

• Will legal cases of assisted suicide diff er to the current life cover clauses on “regular” suicide?

• Will life cover policies have to change in the future to take cases of legal assisted suicide into account?

Sandy Govender, Head of Group Insurance at Momentum, agreed to shed some light on this issue.

Current life cover clauses regarding “regular” suicide

“In the insurance world under group arrange-ments there is something called free cover lim-it (FCL),” explains Govender.

“Individuals in the group automatically qual-ify for cover up to the FCL. Where cover is compulsory, for example in group life cover through an employer, there are no exclusions on suicide up to the FCL. For individuals taking out cover above the FCL, suicide will only be covered up to the FCL until the full underwrit-ing is approved for the higher amount, after which it will be fully covered.”

Govender further explains that for individual policies where clients take out the policy on a voluntary basis, their suicide is not covered for an initial period from the commencement of the cover, ranging from 12 to 24 months, from the inception of the policy. Otherwise the full amount is paid.

“Suicide is only a risk to insurers if their client took out the policy knowing that once they committed suicide their bene� ciaries would be covered. This is actually a rarity and the ex-clusion period would reduce any potential risk here.”

Assisted suicide vs “regular” suicide

According to Govender, in terms of life cover, assisted suicide is no di� erent to the current life cover clauses on suicide.

“In most instances of medically assisted sui-cide the client is terminally ill and will usually not have much longer to live. In this regard, they would in any case become a claim on our books in the near future. So assisted suicide is actually a lower risk than a healthy person committing suicide. Most life insurance poli-cies have the option to take out a terminally ill cover which allows for your life insurance bene� t to be paid while the client is alive if the doctors says that the person has less than a certain period to live (typically 12 months). So this further reinforces why assisted suicide is not really an issue.”

“As we don’t see assisted suicide as a high risk, it is unlikely that life policies will change in the near future in this regard.”

Being able to feed his family from what he earns from using a bicycle to sell vegetables ranging from tomatoes, onions, spinach, cabbage, carrots, beetroot and green pep-pers is very important to Esack Sekgobela (63), who resides at Khopo in Thabina vil-lage. The father of fi ve and two grandchil-dren batt led to fi nd a job until he had an idea of selling veggies.

“Aft er I realised that I was not going to fi nd a job, I then decided to buy veggies and use my bicycle to sell them, I knew if I did I would be able to earn some money instead

of just walking the streets doing nothing,” he explained. Sekgobela said his business had been going for 10 years and he was happy about how much it had grown.

“Customers always appreciate to see me passing by, since I save them time to go to town or plaza to buy veggies and I am grate-ful to them for being loyal to me since I start-ed selling. With the income I generate, I am able to buy groceries for my family and we don’t go to bed hungry,” Sekgobela said.

Well-known retired principal of the Marumofase Full Service School in Lenyenye for the past 27 years (and 37 years as a teacher) now heads the Mmathakana Family Gardening Pro-ject together with his elder brother Andries Ramodike. They call it “Phe-la o lema” meaning Live and Plough.

The Mmathakana project is run in the heart of Thabina in Moime vil-lage, fi ve kilometres from Lenyenye and where Ramodike was born.

The project aims to prevent malnutri-tion and other diseases through selling fresh vegetables to the people of Mo-ime as well as neighbouring citizens, to encourage the younger generation

to produce fresh vegetables from their homes and to develop business skills of young people in the village through selling their own fresh produce.

Because of the water crisis in the area, the garden relies heavily on the new borehole which was drilled last month. The Garden comprises of many diff erent kinds of veggies, in-cluding tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, onion and beetroot. However, they also plan to plant green peppers, car-rots and green beans.

Mmathakana is the fi rst gardening project in the village. “We want resi-dents of Moime to look at the garden as a resource,” Ramodike said. The

garden would be a great way for the community to learn about the impor-tance of nutritious foods and service in their community, he said.

The bad news at the beginning of the Magoebaskloof Spring Fair was that the constant drizzle meant that few people headed down the dirt road outside Haenertsburg to visit the famous Cheerio Gardens. The good news is that the blossoms had not yet reached their magnifi cent blaze of colours but, weather per-

mitting, should be at their most glo-rious during this weekend.

Feast your eyes on these magnif-icent old established gardens with the colours of the azaleas, crab apple blossoms and cherry tree blossoms, refl ected in the dam. Thereafter browse through the many stalls at the Magoebaskloof Hotel and at the

Haenertsburg Village Hall. There’s plenty to eat and drink at the count-less eateries and live music too.

The wedding expo held at Cheerio Gardens this past weekend show-cased who and what Cheerio Gar-dens off ers for special occasions.

Nou moet Springbokkedié wyse raad volg

Ná verlede naweek se “ligte mistykie”, soos ʼn rubriekskrywer van Die Burger jare gelede ʼn erge fl ater genoem het, is daar net een uitweg – Frik du Preez sʼn.

“Dan vat ons maar weer die baisiekel by die hêndels,” het Suid-Afrika se rugbyspeler van die (twintigste) eeu dikwels gesê.

Dit is wat die Springbokke Saterdag moet doen wanneer hulle teen Samoa speel. Dié wedstryd, en ses ander in die Wêreldbekertoernooi, is loshand die hoogtepunte van die naweek se sport op televisie.

Met die Japanse Grand Prix nie ver agter nie, sal ondeunde motorsportliefhebbers sê.

Weens al die rugby in Engeland word net twee Currie-beker-wedstryde dié naweek regstreeks uitgesaai: die Haaie teen die Blou Bulle en die Cheetahs teen die Goue Leeus.

Op ‘n Septemberoggend in 1945 het Oubal se oorlede vader die draadloos af-geskakel nadat die nuus gelees is, vir Oubal op sy knie getel en ‘n ontboe-seming gemaak. Oubal het nie alles daarvan verstaan nie, maar met die jare het dit duide-liker geword.

‘Tja, Oubal, wat maar pas 3 jaar oud geword het, was reeds vlug genoeg van begrip om te kon verstaan dat sy vader vier jaar vantevore, op die oggend van 8 Desember (dit wás al die 8ste in SA), iets oor die draadloos gehoor het wat hom laat glo het dat die einde van die wêreld aangebreek het, of dan minstens die bestaande wêreldorde dramaties sou kon ver-ander: Japan het Amerika verras met die aan-val op Pearl Harbor.

Oubal se vader het voortgegaan en gebieg dat hy ‘n maand vantevore vir ‘n tweede keer in ‘n kort tyd gedink het die wêreld het tot ‘n einde gekom, nadat hy oor die draadloos gehoor het Amerika het bomme waarvan die verwoes-tingswerk voorheen onbekend was op Hiro-shima en Nagasaki gegooi — albei stede is in ‘n oogwink feitlik totaal vernietig. “Armaged-don” was die woord wat hy gebruik het.

Maar nou, het hy voortgegaan, kan pa jou vertel dat die oorlog verby is en die wêreld het nie tot ‘n einde gekom nie. Jy moet nooit die fout maak om jou vyand te onderskat nie en bowenal moet jy nooit met ‘n klein stokkie aan ‘n leeu se kroonjuwele krap nie.

‘Tja, Oubal moet bieg, toe hy verlede Son-dagoggend sy oë oopmaak, het hy vir die eerste keer regtig verstaan wat sy ou vader vir hom wou sê. Japan het rakbiegesproke hul Pearl Harbor gehad en vir die oomblik wys die rekord dat hulle die enigste land ter wêreld is met ‘n 100% wenrekord in toetse teen SA. Ou-bal voorspel dat Japan hulself gelukkig kan ag as hulle nog ‘n wedstryd in die groepfase van die WB wen, miskien teen die VSA.

Terselfdertyd vermoed Oubal die krap met ‘n stokkie aan die slapende Bok-leeu se ju-wele voorspel Hiroshimas en Nagasakis vir opponente vorentoe. Dis nou maar eenmaal so dat daar min dinge so gevaarlik is as ‘n vernederde Bokspan!

Die enigste bietjie twyfel hieroor in Oubal se gemoed is die vraag of ons ‘n Litt le Boy en ‘n Fat Man in ons arsenaal het om die ver-woestingswerk te doen, want dit gaan nie help om voort te gaan met nat buskruit nie. En dan veral ook of ons ‘n Enola Gay het om hulle af te lewer.

En van Enola Gay gepraat, Eddie Jones se aanstelling by die Stommerds vir SupeRak-bie 2016 is toe na maande se bespiegeling bevestig. Oubal moet die Stommerds ge-lukwens, hul tydsberekening kon nie beter gewees het nie. As daar dalk enige beswaar teen Jones in die Kaap was, is dit met ‘n lae Japanese laagvat afgemaai!

Die menings, uitsprake, standpunte, verwysings, komplimente, beledigings, humor, ensovoorts, van Oubal is nie noodwendig dié van die Bulletin of die eienaar en

As tradition dictates, the annual in-ter-house gala at Merensky High School took the form of a heated challenge be-tween hostel learners and those who live in town or the surrounding areas. The staff astonished one and all when they claimed the spirit trophy, showing that age is only a number. The hostel girls won with 209 points to the towns’ 153. The town boys put a score of 263 on the board, with the hostel boys scoring 155. The fi nal score was Hostel 364 and Town 416. Junior victor ludorum went to Jaco Jacques Joubert, and the jun-ior victrix ludorum to Megan-Mae van der Nest. Senior victor ludorum was Ivan Botha and the senior victrix ludorum Lean-die Toerien. Seen in full action is Ivan, and Leandi is seen aft er another successful fi nal.

Jehan Goosen en Saimu Darlington het albei Lim-popo-kleure vir hul prestasies in die Letaba Uithourit oor 81 km by Munnik verwerf. Jehan het die junior afdeling gewen en sy perd, Flika, is as wenner in die kategorie “best condi-tion” aangewys. Saimu het

die standaard gewigsafdeling gewen en sy perd Blancko was die wenner in die kate-gorie “best of the best con-dition”. Albei perde behoort aan mnr Hannes Mare en Saimu is ook heeltyd in Mare se diens. Jehan is ‘n leerling van Merensky.

Sterretjie vonkel… Een van Tzaneen se veel-sydige skoolsteratlete, Christelle Coetzer van die Hoër-skool Merensky, het Saterdag in Middelburg op die SA Landloopkampioenskappe silwer losgehardloop in die 4 km vir meisies o.14. Sy word reeds van haar gr 1-jaar deur Philip Entres afgerig en die twee vorm ‘n gedugte span. Christelle behaal steeds groter presta-sies in atletiek (800 m en 1 500 m, waarin sy op ASA- en SASA-kampioenskappe podiums verwerf het), pad- en bergfi etsry (gereeld topprestasies) en tweekamp (hardloop en fi etsry) waarin sy vroeër vanjaar as ‘n SA kampioen bekroon is. Hier is sy en haar afrigter.

Vossie swemmers skitter… Ses swemmers van die Hoërskool Ben Vorster is gekies om Limpopo dié naweek by die Northern Tigers interprovinsiale swemkampioenskappe te verteenwoordig. Agter staan Elmé Genis, Joshua Varrie en Rhy-no du Plessis, en voor is Zanel Steenkamp, Sumari Nel en Vanes-sa van Rooyen.
