Kidnap dramaBy Isabel Venter

A well-known local businessman was injured and an elderly woman was traumatised during a robbery and kidnapping incident that hap-pened in Eltivillas over the past weekend.

The incident happened on Friday night, shortly after Dr Mohamed Dawood, owner and manager of Timbercity in Louis Trichardt, had returned from prayers at the local mosque at about 20:30. According to the doctor’s b r o t h e r , M r Mazher Godam, Dr Dawood and his wife had just returned home after fetching Ms Fareeda Aboo, so that she could go and visit his moth-er-in-law, who is in poor health.

Provincial po-lice spokesperson, Lt-Col Ronél Otto, this week said: “As the doctor pulled up to his house in 3rd Street, he was cut off by four men in a blue Volkswagen Golf Gti. All four men were armed with pistols and wearing balaclavas.”

When the doctor saw the armed men approaching his vehicle, he instructed is wife and Mrs Fareeda to disembark immediately. He later told members of the Makhado Police Station that his intention was to tell the thugs to rather take his vehicle

and be off.Sadly, the robbers were not inter-

ested in his vehicle alone. According to the police, one of the

suspects grabbed hold of the doctor, and tried to force him to get back into the vehicle.

Doctor Dawood refused and man-aged to grab hold of a pole on the sidewalk. All the while, the suspects were fi ghting with him. “One suspect hit him on the head with a fi rearm and one of the other suspects shot Dr Dawood in his left foot,” said Otto.

The suspects then sna tched Ms Fareeda and forced her to get into the boot of their vehicle be-fore speeding off.

Along the way, the suspects got a hold of her cell phone and pro-ceeded to tele-phone her daugh-

ter, demanding an exhorbitant amount of ransom money.

Back home, both families were frantic. “I cannot begin to tell you how traumatic the whole experience was,” said Mazher on Tuesday. “You arrive at the house after you’ve heard that your brother had been shot … for a moment I feared the worst,” he added.

Mazher spoke on behalf of Dr Dawood, who was understandably still very traumatized after the event.

According to the police, the kid-

nappers drove around for many kilometres with Ms Fareeda while trying to extort money from her family. The thugs also

brutally assaulted her by kicking her all over her body. It is still unclear why they abandoned their plans, but after several

hours they dumped her in the middle of the bush near Moria and disappeared.

(Contd on P2)

“She had to walk for about 15 kilometres before she reached a

tarred road, where she was assisted by a

passing taxi driver who took her to his house

and notifi ed the police”

Richard Pretorius, a qualifi ed auricular acupuncturist, recently opened his practice here in Louis Trichardt. His practice is situated at 26 Stubbs Street in Unit 1 of the Fuji Heights complex.

The practice of auricular acupuncture, explained Richard, involves the insertion of superfi ne needles into specifi c points on the outer ear. Once inserted, the needles can be manipulated to stimulate the body for healing

effects. An auricular acupuncturist is familiar with roughly 200 acupuncture points that exist in the outer ear. Clients need not worry, how-ever, that the needles will be inserted in their auditory canal, which leads to the inner ear.

Richard said the practise of auricular acupuncture has received attention in the western world, and is now incorporated into western-style medicinal practices, such as chiropractors and physiotherapists. “The outer ear is a particular rich source for these points, which explains the need for specialization in auricular acupuncture,” said Richard.

This type of medical practice, explained Richard, is extremely successful in the treat-ment of multiple health conditions and con-cerns. The most commonly treated conditions by means of auricular acupuncture include arthritis, back , neck and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatica (the nerves). By stimulating certain points in the ear, the acu-puncture needle sends electrical impulse mes-sages to the brain, which then stimulates the body, relieving pain in the joints and muscles and stimulates other organs, and even the brain.

“Auricular acupuncture treats the whole per-son - body, mind and emotions,” said Richard. “There are no limits to who can have auricular acupuncture treatment.”

According to Richard, there are no side effects or adverse reactions to acupuncture treatment, and pregnant, dually diagnosed and chronic patients can also be treated.

For more information, or to book an ap-pointment, Richard can be contacted on Tel 082 300 0561 or by email at [email protected].

Objections from the community did not have any effect on the Makhado Municipality’s plans for the expansion and further development of the Makhado Crossing.

This became evident during the meeting held on Monday between the municipality’s town-planning and development committee and affected sports clubs who will have to move from their current premises to make way for the development.

Council members made it clear that the devel-opment of the Makhado Crossing into a regional mall was a high priority for them, and that it was now just a matter of rushing through the admin-istration thereof. The municipality’s director for development planning, Cllr Dakalo Sinthumule, however, did accept an alternative proposal from the various sport clubs that suggests another site for the relocation of the town’s current sports facilities.

The clubs asked the municipality to consider relocating the squash and gymnastics facilities (which will also host the wrestling and badminton clubs) to the area next to the municipal swimming pool, on the corner of Anderson and Breda Street. The management of the Louis Trichardt Rugby Club indicated that they would settle for a new rugby fi eld next to the municipal show grounds if

they could not be accommodated at the fi elds next to the swimming pool or reach an agreement with Louis Trichardt High School to use their fi elds.

Sinthumule indicated that, in terms of the Makhado Local Spatial Development Framework (LSDF), the area east of the show grounds (along the Thohoyandou road) had been identifi ed by the municipality for the relocation of the clubs. She said that the new proposal by the clubs would be submitted to Council’s land tribunal for consid-eration. This proses can take several months to fi nalize, which probably means that the proposed date of September this year to break ground on the development will not materialise. During a previ-ous stakeholders meeting, the Masingita Group of Companies confi dently said that they expected to start with the development of the mall at that time.

Lots of water has still to fl ow under the bridge, as the club representatives realized during Mon-day’s meeting.

For one thing, Sinthumule confi rmed that Coun-cil has yet to appoint a professional valuer to have the property valued where the current sporting facilities are situated. This will, in turn, determine the selling price of the property. The funds gained from the sale will be utilized by the municipality to construct new infrastructure for all the various sports clubs.

(Contd from P1)“She had to walk for about 15

kilometres before she reached a tarred road, where she was assisted by a passing taxi driver who took her to his house and notifi ed the police,” said Otto. She was returned to her family after receiving medical treat-ment. The newspaper was not able to get hold of Ms Fareeda at the time of our going to press, but we were informed that her family had sent her off to visit relatives, where she could recu-perate from both her physical and emotional scars.

Mazher also said that his brother and family were con-sidering taking a much-needed family holiday elsewhere to

recover. Doctor Dawood was treated in the Zoutpansberg Private Hospital for the wound in his foot and also had an operation in the Polokwane MediClinic. By Monday, he was recovering at home.

“They are still going to do some X-rays on his foot, but at this stage it looks like he will recover well, without suf-fering any permanent damage to his foot,” said Mazher. On behalf of the whole Dawood family, Mazher also expressed his sincere thanks towards the local police as well as the Sout-pansberg Town Watch and the Eltivillas community. “To come to your house and there is this whole group ready to support

you … they did a splendid job,” said Mazher. He also added a special note of thanks to Col Rambau (acting station com-mander), Lt-Col Van der Walt (cluster commander) and Mr Dries Rossouw (police reserv-ist) for their support.

As a family, Mazher further said, they wanted to warn the community to be on the alert. “What happened to us was a random event and can happen to anyone.” He called on the community to rather work with the police and make an effort to curb crime.

Otto confirmed that cases of attempted murder and kid-napping have been opened for further investigation.

ZOUTPANSBERGER, 12 FEBRUARIE 2016 3

Deur Isabel Venter

Die stof het nog nie gaan lê in die veelbesproke geval van skoolgeweld waarin twee leerlinge van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt verlede jaar betrokke was nie.

In die nadraai van die saak is die kalklig geplaas op aspekte betreffende die skool en sy beheerlig-gaam se wetlike gesag.

Twee seuns was betrokke in ‘n gewelddadige konfrontasie met mekaar, waartydens een gewond is met ‘n mes. ‘n Rusie het ontstaan tussen die twee, en beide is verhoor en vir ‘n tydperk van 14 dae geskors.

In daardie stadium was die twee leerlinge onder-skeidelik in Graad 12 en 11. Die Graad 12-seun

Skool verdedig besluit om seun nie weer toe te laat

Wilhrisca Charmonéy Ehlers, ‘n bekende in die plaaslike modelwêreld en oud-Triegie, en Henry Philippus Britz, ‘n bekende boer van die Dendron omgewing en eienaar van C2C Chickens, is op Saterdag, 6 Februarie, by Mohatjane Lodge (Dendron) in die huwelik bevestig. Die seremonie is waargeneem deur pastoor John Struwig van die AGS-gemeente van Levubu. Die familie het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor Dianay Giovante van Louis Trichardt wat op die laaste oomblik aangebied het om die trourok betyds klaar en reg gekry, asook Le-andré van Kaalvoet Foto’s in Polokwane vir die neem van die pragtige troufoto’s. Foto verskaf.

het intussen sy matriekjaar afgehandel, maar die Graad 11-seun sit met die hande in die hare, nadat hy permanent die skool belet is.

Vir dié seun is dit ‘n penarie, omdat hy nou nie meer sy skoolloopbaan plaaslik kan voltooi nie. Hy het wel plek gekry in die Hoërskool Middelburg en Hoërskool Merensky. Sy eerste opsie was te ver van sy ouerhuis, en Merensky het sy aansoek afgekeur nadat hulle ‘n glo ‘n anonieme oproep ontvang het oor die seun se skorsing by Hoërskool Louis Trichardt.

Sy ouers het noodgedwonge die Departement van Basiese Onderwys se streekskantoor hier in Louis Trichardt genader vir hulp. Hulle probeer ook nog uitvind wie die oproep geplaas het na Merensky.

‘n Amptelike brief is wel deur die departement se streekkantoor uitgereik. In die brief, gedateer 1 Februarie, word Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se skoolhoof, mnr. Louis Cilliers, aangeraai om die seun toe te laat tot die skool. Die beheerliggaam, nie die skool, het die ma meegedeel dat haar seun nie weer toegelaat gaan word nie.

Dit is juis hierdié verwikkeling wat die ma laat wonder het wie die finale sê het - die skool, die beheerliggaam of die departement?

“Onder geen omstandighede wil ons die leerling te na kom nie. Ons moet egter ook die belange van die hele skool en die res van die studente in ag neem,” het die voorsitter van die beheerliggaam, mnr. Braam Dekker, Dinsdag aan die Zoutpans-berger gesê. Hy het ook uitgewys dat die seun 18 is, wat die skool verder vrywaar. ‘n Skool is wetlik verplig om ‘n leerling onder die ouderdom van 18 in te neem, mits hy of sy voldoen aan die skool se toelatingsbeleid.

Die skool se besluit om die seun nie weer toe te laat nie, volgens Dekker, nie ligtelik geneem nie, maar streng volgens die Skolewet, wat ook in lyn is met die Grondwet. Hy het verder verduidelik dat, in terme van die Skolewet Afdeling 16(2), die beheerliggaam ‘n ver-trouensposisie teenoor die skool het, wat dit verplig om te alle tye in die beste belang van die skool op te tree.

Gesien in die lig van hierdie artikel het die beheerliggaam ‘n b eslu-it geneem dat dit der-halwe nie in die beste belang van die skool of sy leerlinge sal wees om die seun weer toe te laat nie. “Hy het onaan-vaarbaar opgetree, en ons is van die mening dat hy sal inbreuk maak op die ander skoliere se

reg om in ‘n veilige omgewing skool te gaan,” het Dekker gesê.

Dekker het ook genoem dat die seun nie net geskors is as gevolg van van die mesvoorval nie. Die seun was wel die party wat beseer is, maar, sê Dekker, die seun het reeds by verskeie vorige geleenthede die skool se gedragskode oortree. Dit alles is in ag geneem deur die beheerliggaam in hul besluit om nie weer die seun toe te laat nie. “Daar is spesifiek reëls en prosesse wat ons moet volg in ‘n geval soos die van hierdie seun. Ons wil ook nie graag leerlinge skors nie, en sal altyd eers probeer om leiding te gee en ‘n positiewe ingryping te maak. Daar is baie programme by die skool wat ons met die seun probeer het, en hy is genoeg kanse gegee om sy skoolloopbaan te red,” het Dekker gesê.

Verder het Dekker ook uitgewys dat die kring-bestuurder nie wetlik by magte is om tussenbeide te tree sover dit die toelatingsbeleid van ‘n publieke skool aangaan nie.

Die wet skryf voor dat die beheerliggaam van ‘n skool dié beleid kan opstel (solank dit in lyn is met die Skolewet).

Following their recent conquest to help restore the water supply network in Louis Trichardt, AfriForum is once more gearing up to go back to court.

Towards the end of last year, the Louis Trichardt branch of AfriForum took over the control of a strategic pump station in President Steyn Street. For a while it seemed that this intervention would succeed in ensuring a continuous supply of water to Louis Trichardt residents. The past week, however, many residents indicated that they have once again not had municipal water for days on end.

As time passed, explained local AfriForum chairperson Mr Wally Schultz, the “shambolic dysfunction of the successive acting administra-tions of the Vhembe District Municipality (VDM) became clear”.

Schultz confirmed that a new plan is afoot to hold the crippled VDM accountable. He has already met with Werner Human and advocate Jan Saunders of the AfriForum legal team to assist in formulating a plan of action. More details are expected to be

made available during the upcoming annual general meeting of the local branch this coming week.

In the meantime, Schultz acknowledges that it is an ongoing struggle to deliver water to everybody.

He advised residents, for the interim, to contact the water truck services of the VDM at tel. 071 674 0797.

Another concern for Schultz is that the manage-ment of the President Steyn Street pump station is incurring a lot of expenses. The bill for all the maintenance work done on the station to get it up and running was partially footed by the local branch and the head office of AfriForum. “If we had more members, we could easily afford it, and maybe even other pump stations,” said Schultz. “The more members we are, the more we can do for the community - as simple as that.”

With that in mind, Schultz implored the com-munity to come out in their hundreds and attend their annual general meeting to be held this coming Thursday (today). The meeting will be held at the clubhouse of the Soutpansberg Golf Club in Hospi-taal Street at 18:00. For more information, Schultz can be contacted at Tel 079 298 2676.

Die Soutpansberg het die afgelope week met hartseer afskeid geneem van mnr. Johann An-ton Dreyer wat op Dinsdag, 2 Februarie, in die ouderdom van 64 jaar oorlede is.

Johann is gebore op 11 Julie 1952 in Windhoek in die destydse Suidwes-Afrika. Hy was die oudste kind van Johannes en Daphne Dreyer en het groot-geword in Krugersdorp en sy skoolloopbaan voltooi by Monument Hoërskool.

Ná sy nasionale diensplig was hy ‘n brandweer-man in Krugersdorp, waarna Johann later na die destydse Pietersburg verhuis het om saam met sy pa vir SASKO te werk. Hierna het hy en sy pa saam op die plaas Doornspruit op die Elim-pad geboer. In

dié tyd is Johann ‘n aanbod gemaak om Gypsy Skoene in die voormalige Venda te bestuur.

In 1990 het Johann en sy gesin Louis Tri c-hardt toe getrek,waar hy sy eie skoenbesigheid begin het. Gedurende die tyd het hy bevriend geraak met die eienaar van Belta Services, waar hy toe gewerk het tot met sy afsterwe. Die laaste tyd het hy gesukkel met longprobleme.

Wyle Johann word oorleef deur sy eggenote Ria, seuns Martin (en skoondogter Henda), Anton en Riaan, en kleinkinders Elri, Eckhard en Eduan. Hy is op Saterdag, 6 Februarie, vanuit die NG Kerk Louis Trichardt-gemeente begrawe. Die diens is waargeneem deur ds. Phillip Horn van die Hervormde Kerk.

Vrou skuldig aan diefstal, nie bedrogMe. Veruska Viljoen van Charles Pieterse Prokureurs het die afgelope week aanged-ui dat daar sekere onakku-raathede was in die berig oor Kathy-Lee Mostert wat skuld-ig gepleit het dat sy honderde duisende rande by Blouberg Dierekliniek in Louis Trich-ardt gesteel het.

In die artikel op bladsy 4 van die Zoutpansberger van 5 Febru arie word genoem dat Mostert skuldig gepleit het op ‘n klag van bedrog. Viljoen het egter aangedui dat Mostert weliswaar skuldig gepleit het op ‘n klag van diefstal, nie bedrog nie. Die aanvanklike klagte teen Mostert was diefstal en/of bedrog.

Daar word ook genoem dat Mostert met haar borgaansoek

in Januarie 2015 ‘n bedrag van R70 000 aan Blouberg betaal het. Mostert het egter hierdie bedrag reeds in Desember 2014 betaal, nog voordat sy gearrest-eer is.

Viljoen het ook gesê daar was nooit ‘n forensiese onder-soek gedoen om te bepaal wat die presiese bedrag was wat Mostert sou gesteel het nie. Die Zoutpansberger het egter weer met die hof opgevolg, wat bevestig het dat daar wel ‘n forensiese ondersoek was.

Verder het Viljoen gesê dat die saak nooit vir verhoor op die rol geplaas is nie. Dit is egter die Zoutpansberger se standpunt dat die saak wel in ‘n ope hof besleg is en dat Mostert krimineel verhoor is.

In die artikel word ook

aangedui dat Mostert ná haar skuldig bevinding R200 000 aan Blouberg oorbetaal het, af-gesien van die ander R200 000 van die R400 000 wat sy erken het sy by Blouberg gesteel het.

By nadere ondersoek het die Zoutpansberger bemerk dat Mostert inderdaad reeds voor haar skuldigbevinding R200 000 oorbetaal het.

Wat betref Mostert se vonnis van sewe jaar wat opgeskort is vir vyf jaar, op voorwaarde dat sy haar nie in hierdie tyd skuldig maak aan diefstal en bedrog nie, en dat sy die oorblywende R200 000 in maandelikse paaie-mente van R10 000 moet terug-betaal, het Viljoen aangedui dat die bedrag R3 000 per maand is en nie R10 000 nie, wat wel die geval is.

Deep in the Soutpansberg Mountains, among its crags and cliffs, ghostly crea-tures are hiding.

Scientists shared information on these ghostly creatures and other creepy crawl-ies of the Soutpansberg at the second annual Nature Night held on Friday, 29 January. The event was organised by the Durham University Primate and Predator Project (PPP) and was held at the Schoe-mansdal Environmental Centre (ECC).

A great deal of wildlife research and conservation work is happening in the region and Nature Night is a way for researchers to share their scientific find-ings with the community. This year, the focus was specifically on creatures that are normally avoided because they give the general populace the heebie-jeebies, including spiders, bats and hyenas. Re-searchers showed these species’ softer side and helped create more informed perceptions about them.

Almost 100 people attended the free event, including students from local schools and universities. “It is great to see so many in attendance and getting excited about conservation,” said Philip Faure, the PPP Community Engagement Officer and event organiser.

The evening kicked off with a talk about brown hyena ecology by Katy Williams, a PhD student from Durham University in the United Kingdom. The brown hyena is often misrepresented and feared, and this is partially because of its elusive nature. “There is still little known about the hyena locally, and some farmers believe that they are a pest,” explained Williams. Because

hyenas are solitary and nocturnal foragers, some inhabitants of the Soutpansberg are still not aware of their presence in the mountains, hence some interviewees in Williams’ study refer to them as ghosts.

Williams has been photographing these ‘ghosts’ with camera traps. Data from an array of 80 camera traps in the western Soutpansberg mountains has enabled her to estimate the population density at between 2.5 and 3.5 brown hyenas per 100km². Through a second camera-trap-ping survey, she found that brown hyenas are widely dispersed in northern Limpopo. Avoiding high human activity is one of the key factors influencing the areas that brown hyenas occupy, suggesting they are as scared of us as we might be of them.

Two guest speakers from the University of Venda, both dedicated scholars in their fields, managed to elicit positive oohs and aahs from the audience about notoriously feared spiders and bats.

Dr Stefan Foord, who has more than 15 years experience of invertebrate inventories and field work, enlightened the audience with information about the extraordinary diversity of spiders in the Soutpansberg. Of the 1 230 spider species in the Savanna Biome, more than 600 are found in the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve. Many of these species are only found in this area - 366 species are endemics and 322 are near endemics. Dr Foord’s talk shared spiders’ beauty, clever survival mechanisms and ecosystem services. The majority of spider species pose no harm to humans. Despite common beliefs, only three types of spider can be harmful to humans in South Africa, namely the button spiders, sac spiders and violin spiders.

The evening concluded with a fasci-nating talk by Professor Peter Taylor, an expert on bats. Bats are often regarded as vermin. “Bats provide valuable eco-system services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control and they act as bio-indicators,” said Taylor. He is currently working with farmers in the area to promote the use of bats as pest control agents, and is supervising two PhD students conducting research on the pest control services provided by bats in macadamia orchards.

As in the case of spiders, the Sout-pansberg is a bat hotspot in South Africa. In southern Africa, 116 species of bat occur and almost 40 of these species are found in the Soutpansberg Mountains. Taylor explained that bats are experienc-ing a global population decline, due to various factors, such as white-nose syndrome and wind farm turbines.

The message from all the speakers was that the Sout-pansberg and the surrounding Vhembe Biosphere Reserve is a crucial area for wildlife. It is a biodiversity hotspot and home to numerous species that occur here and nowhere else. Unfortunately, many of these species are in con-flict with humans, but everyone can play a part in preserving this area for wildlife to ensure their continued existence for our chil-dren’s enjoyment. And, thanks to this year’s Nature Night, some of the region’s nightmarish crea-tures are now a little friendlier.

Ghostly creatures and creepy crawlies not that scary anymore

The bustling border town of Musina yet again boasts another major development project, this time totalling approximately R320 million.

The development will see the expansion of the current Great North Plaza from 14 000m² to 34 000m² on a prime piece of CBD land acquired by the developers, directly adjacent to the current premises. Upon completion, the centre will be re-branded as the Musina Mall.

The Great North Plaza was initially built and owned by the Solly Noor Property Group but was sold to the Investec Property Fund for R145 million in 2011. Investec has now gone in partnership with the Moolman Group, who will develop the centre as co-owners.

But why Musina? Over the last couple of years, the region saw major mall developments such as the opening of Mall of the North in Polokwane. Louis Trichardt itself is earmarked for a major shopping mall development that will see the expansion of Makhado Crossing by the Masingita Group of Companies.

“The strong trading conditions of the existing centre [Great North Plaza] has attracted a demand from existing and new retailers to expand their existing offerings and introduce new brands to the mall. The extension is already more than 87% let, including national retailers such as Checkers, Jet, Edgars and Pep,” said Mr Nick Riley, Investec Property Fund CEO. He said that the mall was one of the best and comparable to only a few in Limpopo towns. An estimated 48 015 people, or 13 291 households, reside within the primary area (within 10 to 15 minutes’ driving time of Musina) and an estimated 45 241 people or 12 917 house-holds reside within the secondary market area that is within 60 minutes’ driving time.

Ms Mandie Weidemann of the Moolman Group added to this, stating that cross-border trade also played a huge role in the economy of Musina, but that other sectors were also contributing, such as

De Beers’ Venetia Mine, which is currently under-going an expansion of some R33 billion.

The sod-turning ceremony for the proposed new expansion of the Great North Plaza took place in January and it is envisaged that the development will be fully operational by April 2017. The de-velopment will be completed in a single phase, with construction work being outsourced to main building contractor CMC Koch Construction from Polokwane.

“At present, the current centre has 42 stores and we are aiming to expand the centre to approxi-mate 100 stores, with new entries like Truworths, Edgars and Studio 88. The national retailers that are in the current centre are Shoprite, Checkers, Tekkie Town, Fashion Express, Exact, Markham, Total Sport, Fashion World, Foschini, Beaver Ca-noe, Sterns, Sport Scene, PEP, Wimpy, Nandos, Debonairs, Old Mutual, FNB Easy Plan, Chicken Licken, and a few others,” said Weidemann. From these current retailers, Foschini, Sport Scene, Total Sport, Exact, Markham, Fashion Express, Woolworths, Clicks and Mr. Price will relocate to the new extension. “We plan to replace those spaces with more fashion and food offerings,” said Weidemann. Other new national retailers and businesses to take up space in the new Musina Mall include Mr. Price Home, Identity, Skipper Bar, Legit, Nedbank, Standard Bank, Ideals, Pep, Ackermans, Shoe City, John Craig and Dunns. The current anchor tenants at Great North Plaza are Shoprite Checkers and Cashbuild. They will remain the anchor tenants at the new Musina Mall, with the addition of Woolworths.”

During the sod-turning ceremony, Musina mayor Cllr Mihloti Muhlope hailed the investment, saying it would not only bring development to her munic-ipality, but also ease the burden of unemployment in the area.

Approximate job creation during construction phase will be about 500 jobs and an additional 500 permanent new jobs will be available as a result of the expansion.

Musina to benefit from major mall development

Deur Isabel Venter

Ná maande se gewerskaf het die ontwikkeling op die hoek van Rissikstraat en die N1 in Louis Trichardt verlede week ‘n nuwe fase betree.

Die ontwikkelaar, mnr. Ram-pie Gilfillan van Bridge Motors, het ‘n klein grondbreekseremo-nie gehou saam met die bur-germeester van die Makhado Munisipaliteit, rdl. David Muta-vatshindi, en sy afgevaardigdes.

Die nuwe ontwikkeling sal bestaan uit twee nuwe motor-handelaars en ‘n bekende fam-ilie restaurant. Daar is ook die moontlikheid van ‘n kleinhan-del-inkopie-sentrum, wat nog onderhandel word.

Gilfillan het ‘n bietjie meer uitgewei oor die ontwikkeling. Vrydag, 5 Februarie, se sere-monie het grond gebreek op die mees suidelike punt van die terrein. Dit sal deel vorm van die restaurant, waarna daar begin sal word met die motorhandelaars. Die restaurant, ‘n Spur, sal groter wees as die vorige Louis Trich-ardt Spur, met ‘n buitelug kuier-plek en speelarea vir kinders. Die motorhandelaars, Kia en Ford, sal baie meer modern wees, met die klem op ‘n gemaklike en vrien-delike besigheidservaring vir alle kliënte. “Hierdie nuwe ontwikke-ling gaan ‘n groot verskil maak aan die dorp se ingang, met die tuine en nuwe grasperke wat beplan word,” het Gilfillan gesê.

So ver het die ontwikkeling ook reeds heelwat bome sukses-vol hervestig, en die aanplanting van nuwe inheemse bome word ook beplan. ‘n Gedeelte van die

aangrensende boompark word ook nou gereeld skoongemaak en onderhou.

Gilfillan is veral trots daarop dat al die besighede wat hulle daar sal vestig wanneer die pro-jek voltooi is, deels gebruik sal maak van sonkrag en hulle water

sal herwin. “Dit maak hierdie projek uniek, en die enigste van sy soort in Louis Trichardt,” het Gilfillan gesê.

As alles volgens plan verloop, behoort die projek teen middel volgende jaar voltooi te wees.

Ontwikkeling betree ‘n nuwe faseTalle knelpunte wat boere in Limpopo in die gesig staar, het tydens ‘n gesamentlike verga-dering tussen TLU SA Noord en Agri Limpopo op 28 Januarie aandag geniet.

Veiligheid in die provinsie, paraatheid, gebeur-likheidsbeplanning en die betrokkenheid by plaas-wagstrukture is as van die belangrikste terreine van samewerking geïdentifiseer en daar is tydens die vergadering ooreengekom dat privaatbesitreg en die vryemark ekonomie vir albei organisasies ononderhandelbaar bly.

“Sedert die halsoorkop ontbinding van die kommandostelsel meer as ‘n dekade gelede, het die staat jammerlik misluk in sy onderneming om burgerlike betrokkenheid by nuwe veiligheidstruk-ture in stand te hou of te versterk. In die vakuum wat daardeur geskep is, het landelike veiligheid in Limpopo en elders in ‘n krisis ontaard, met verdoe-mende gevolge vir die landelike ekonomie,” sê die twee organisasies in ‘n gesamentlike verklaring. ‘n Gesamentlike veiligheidsdag word vir 10 Maart in dié verband in die vooruitsig gestel.

Die organisasies sê die omvang van jarelange spanning tussen produsente en die Departement

van Waterwese en dié departement se erken-ning van ‘n dispuut oor die administrasie van watergebruikerregte wat die TLU SA Noord in 2011 aanhangig gemaak het, noodsaak ‘n herontwerp en herskikking van die proses in Limpopo. Die twee organisasies het besluit om saam te span en die departement se gesloer met die proses aan te spreek.

Ernstige kommer is tydens die vergadering deur beide partye uitgespreek oor die impak van dreigende verhoogde geadministreerde kostes soos arbeid (minimum lone), elektrisiteit, water, grondbelasting en ander kostes wat die winsgewendheid en ekonomiese volhoubaarheid van landbou in Limpopo onder onhoudbare druk plaas. Die twee organisasies sal ‘n verenigde forum vorm om hierdie sake aan te spreek.

Ernstige besprekings oor droogtehulp het tydens die vergadering gelei tot ‘n ooreenkoms om, ondiskriminerend, die mees knellende nood te identifiseer en gesamentlik te poog om die beperkte hulp by die grootste nood uit te kry. “Dit is betreur dat geen blanke boere in Limpopo tot dusvêr droogtehulp van die staat ontvang het nie en ook nie in aanmerking kom vir registrasie vir droogtehulp van die staat nie,” het die organ-isasies gesê. Hulle het derhalwe die integriteit van die Departement van Landbou se verbin-tenis tot nie-rassigheid en die grondwetlikheid van hierdie optrede bevraagteken. Die twee organisasies het ook die eksklusiewe fokus op veeboerdery, ten koste van akkerbou en tuinbou, wat in die droogtehulp geld, as diskriminerend en onvanpas uitgewys.

Tydens die vergadering is daar ook besluit om gesamentlik aan rampbestuur aandag te gee.

“Strukture en befondsing sal ondersoek en in plek gestel word soos nodig. Die ramp droogte en rampspoedige effek wat dit in die volgende jaar of twee kan meebring, noodsaak hierdie stap,” het die organisasies gesê.

Daar is ook besluit om AFASA en NAFU by opvolggesprekke te betrek om ‘n inklusiewe landbou-gesprek in die provinsie op die been te bring.

De Vaal Street is a somewhat unusual street. It starts near the high school and then makes its way up “skuldbult”, crossing Barnard Street before turning left sharply and running alongside the forestry plantations. It’s almost as if it passes by the wealth and glamour to reach a place of serenity and beauty.

The street was named after one of the region’s true gentlemen, Piet de Vaal. During his lifetime he wore many hats, among others those of attorney, mayor, painter, historian and writer, but he is mostly re-membered for his modesty and honesty.

The story of Pieter Hendrik Carel de Vaal started on 19 March 1923 on a farm near Solomondale, some 40 kilometres from Polo-kwane in the direction of Munnik. He was the youngest of 11 children. The fi rst fi ve were born in the Mooketsi area, but died of malaria. His parents then moved to the Soekmekaar area, where they farmed, but the constant fog and drizzle made his father decide to rather buy a piece of land near Solomondale.

It is told that his aunt, Tangie van Rooyen, who was a midwife, assisted with his birth. He was born with a chest problem – in today’s terms, probably pneumonia or bronchitis. His aunt helped to nurse him and recommended that he didn’t wear any vests. This, apparently, assisted his recovery and may be the reason that he refused to wear any vests in later years.

He always talked with a lot of respect of his parents, Jacobus Bernardus de Vaal and Car-olina Margaretha Wilhelmina (née De Jager). Hardworking and dedicated people – setting the example for their children.

Farming at Solomondale became diffi cult because of the drought during the late 1920s. An opportunity to move was created when Joe Albasini, a direct descendant of the legendary pioneer Joao Albasini, offered to sell them a portion of the farm “Goedehoop” not far from Louis Trichardt. Joe was married to the sister of De Vaal’s mother. Piet was only about four years old when they moved.

In spite of having many siblings, Piet had a fairly lonely childhood. His older brothers and sisters were away during school terms, attending boarding school. A nearby farm school with two classrooms was established on the farm of Paul Fick just before he had to start Grade 1. It was called the Ratomba Government School. The only “transport” to and from school was on the back of a donkey.

When the time arrived for him to also move to a bigger school, he was sent to the then Pietersburg. After only one term there, a few days before his 12th birthday, his mother passed away. He was then sent off to attend boarding school in Louis Trichardt, where he stayed until Standard 8.

In later years, Piet de Vaal fondly recalled his school years in Louis Trichardt. He had a lot of respect for his then teachers, Mr Hannes de Jager (Afrikaans and History), Mr S.A. Antonites (English, Geography and Accounting) and Mr Engelbrecht (Mathematics). Standard 9 and 10 had to be completed in Pietersburg, as the local school’s highest standard was standard 8.

Finances remained a problem for the family and his parents were forced to sell the farm. After fi nishing his matric, Piet had aspirations to become a teacher, but he needed a bursary. He arrived in Pretoria at the teacher’s college and had to under-go a medical examination as a prospective benefi ciary.

The doctor found a kidney defect – probably due to bilharzia that he had contracted as a child. (Legend has it that he escaped from Elim Hospi-tal and ran away while receiving treatment.) His plans of becoming a teacher now belonged to the past. Fortunately for him, he could stay with his eldest sister, Carolina, and her husband, Louis Fourie, near Rosendal in the Free State. There

he assisted with everything on the farm until the end of July 1941, when his

life was to change dramatically. Mr Eddie Rooth, of the then

fi rm Rooth & Coxwell in Louis Trichardt, contacted him and asked him to come and see him. After this interview, he was appointed as “article clerk” and worked while studying part time. Within fi ve years he had qualifi ed and continued working for the fi rm.

In 1946 he married Maria Isabella

Venter (Marietjie), a young teacher he met while doing

his internship at Rooth & Coxwell. The marriage took place

in the Dutch Reformed Church in Louis Trich-

ardt. They had fi ve daughters.

De Vaal was seconded to Rooth & Coxwell’s offi ces in Messina from 1950 to 1952. After Mr Rooth’s death in 1952, De Vaal took over the work as deputy sheriff from Mr Rooth. De Vaal remembered Mr Rooth (also a Member of the House of Assembly for the Soutpansberg District), as one of the most professional and capable attor-neys he had ever met. In the same year, he started his own law fi rm in two rooms in the Hanlon Building.

As a law practitioner for over 40 years, many interesting stories came his way. He often told the story of the town’s famous murder case. Two plumbers, Bubb and Lingervelder, came from the Witwatersrand to work on a project. Bubb’s wife stayed on the Rand, whilst he started an affair with Lingervelder’s wife, who had accompanied her husband to Louis Trichardt.

An argument about the affair led to the murder of Lingervelder. Bubb buried the body in his garage at home and asked a labourer to demolish and burn a wooden crate/coffi n on his bakkie. The labourer noticed blood on the wood and reported it. Bubb was hanged.

Piet de Vaal was constantly busy and served on a number of boards and committees. He assisted where he could to develop, maintain and improve the community. He was a founder mem-ber of the Soutpansberg Chamber of Commerce and the local Rapportryerskorps. He served on the boards of the local schools, the hospital and the church. “He always had meetings to attend and he worked extremely hard,” remembers his eldest daughter, Linette van der Merwe.

When he started serving on the town council in 1958, Louis Trichardt still had a sewerage system comprising septic tanks and night-soil carts. A

sewer network was constructed that alleviated this smelly and unhygien-

ic problem. The water problems were also addressed by establishing a

pipeline to pump water from the Albasini dam. He was mayor of the town for almost three

years.He was known as the most honourable

of attorneys. His honesty is still on the lips of many

inhabitants and

there are many examples. Late one evening, while preparing to go to sleep, he realised that

the café owner had given him too much change. He got up, got dressed, and drove immediately to return the ex-cess amount. A former client recently remembered that he once received a cheque of R10 in the mail. This was apparently for a mistake made and he had paid too much for work done. His daughter once picked up a R2 note, way back in the 1970s. Very happily she showed it to him, just to be disappointed when he said it had to be handed in at the

police station – it might have been somebody’s last money…

During 1957, De Vaal managed to buy a portion of the farm Goedehoop where he had grown up. There he farmed part-time with cattle and mangoes. This is also where his heart was. He loved to paint Piesangkop – the view from where they stayed. He always felt sorry for the monkeys he caught in cages (they were stealing fruit). He always “talked” to them before setting them free again.

Piet de Vaal also left his mark as an artist. Due to his work over a vast area, he came to know almost every farm and baobab tree. The uniqueness of the Soutpansberg, its people, its beauty and vegetation inspired him to be an artist. The bushveld was his passion. The baobab tree was almost personifi ed in all his artworks. When he painted, the baobab wasn’t approached as an onlooker; it was painted from the inside. To him, each and every tree had a soul and character. These giants were depicted against a conglomeration of colour – creating some kind of gentleness.

He had a good relationship with the painter Erich Mayer. They exchanged some ideas. As a young boy, he saw a man sitting in some long grass, looking towards the church on the hill (Haantjiekerk) and painting something. He is convinced that it was the artist Pierneef – busy with his famous painting “View of Louis Trichardt”.

Not only the people of the Soutpansberg District remember him well – De Vaal wrote down many of his memoires. The main reason for this is that he was an amateur historian and realised the value of preserving information for future generations. He built his own archive whilst doing the research for his book, Die Dorp Louis Trichardt, published in 1986 and reprinted in 2013 – just before his death.

He spent the biggest part of his life in his favourite town – Louis Trichardt. For 58 years he lived in the same house.

When he died on 15 August 2013 at the age of 90, the eulogies kept on streaming in. Suwil Rudolph, one of his successors, got to know him well when he accompanied him on his trips in the district as assessor. “De Vaal was a real gen-tleman. When a lady entered a room, he always stood up, and only sat down again after she had been seated. As a matter of fact, he always lifted his hat when anybody, young and old, entered a room,” he recalls.

He was always fi rm but fair. A serious person, but also with a good sense of humour. Rudolph remembers that he would never accept an offer for tea unless the work had been completed. If they had to travel a long way, he always had a basket with a fl ask, a tablecloth and a snack, such as a sandwich or rusks. The tablecloth was spread over the bonnet of the car and the tea poured. What many do not know, is that he was a boxer in his younger days and also had his pilot’s licence.

“He was an iconic fi gure in the Soutpansberg. His legacy lies in the hands of his very capable children and will thus continue to add value to the community he served,” said another well-known local historian, Charles Leach. He left behind fi ve daughters, Linette van der Merwe, Caromin Louw, Milda Stanton, Inarié de Vaal and Pétria de Vaal-Senekal. The eldest and youngest still reside in Louis Trichardt.

For his family he was like the baobabs that he so loved to paint. “Immovable from the outside, but gentle and peaceful on the inside. He was a man of God. A family man. A community man.

A businessman.”

This was apparently for a mistake made and he had paid too much for work done. His daughter once picked up a R2 note, way back in the 1970s. Very happily she showed it to him, just to be disappointed when he said it had to be handed in at the

When he started serving on the town council in 1958, Louis Trichardt still had a sewerage system comprising septic tanks and night-soil carts. A

sewer network was constructed that alleviated this smelly and unhygien-

ic problem. The water problems were also addressed by establishing a

pipeline to pump water from the Albasini dam. He was mayor of the town for almost three

years.He was known as the most honourable

VORSTER Str.

This week we take a look at one of the “newer” streets in town, albeit that these were already laid out and named round about 1977. De Vaal Street is situated in the more affluent part of Louis Trichardt, more offi cially known as Ext 7.

The streets were named after prominent councillors of the period, such as Piet de Vaal, Boy Schimper and Mannetjie Bergh.

The information used in the article was very generously supplied by the late Mr De Vaal’s daughter, Pétria (with the assistance of her sisters). Pétria is a qualifi ed archivist, records manager, heritage consultant, fa-cilitator of training and assessor. She also plays an important part in this series on the history of the town’s street names by assisting with the research.

Readers with informa-tion on the streets not yet covered in the series must please contact Anton at [email protected] or Pétria at [email protected]. We are especially interested in old photos and stories about the people whose names appear on the street corner poles.

Piet de Vaal as so many people remember him - with his hat on and being the perfect gentleman.

A businessman.”

Wyle Raymond se oupa ook Pieterse

Ek is ... die Weg, die Waarheid en die lewe

Kan ons as kinders van God doen wat ons wil, wanneer ons wil ? En ek praat nie

nou van sonde nie.Kom ons kyk wat die Skrif sê.Lees 1 Kor. 6:19-20. Die Skrif sê ons

behoort nie aan onsself nie, want ons behoort aan:

a) Die Heilige Gees, want Hy woon in ons (vers 19).

b) Aan Jesus Christus, want ons liggaam is deel van Christus (vers 15).

c) Aan die Vader, want ons liggaam is daar vir Hom, wat ook oor ons liggaam Here is (vers 13).

1 Kor. 6:17 sê: “Wie hom met die Here verenig, is geestelik een met Hom.”

Dit beteken nie dat ‘n Christen nêrens mag gaan of niks mag doen nie, maar dat ‘n kind van God altyd in die wil van ons hemelse Vader moet wees (Ef. 5:10). Dit geld vir tye wat ons ontspan of besig is met ons daaglikse take.

Die Here Jesus het geweet sy dissipels het rus nodig en het op ‘n keer vir hulle gesê: “Kom julle alleen saam na ‘n stil plek toe en rus ‘n bietjie” (Markus 6:31). Ook in hulle rus en ontspanning was hulle by Christus.

Waarom verwag God volkome toewyding aan Hom? Want Hy is volkome daaraan toegewy om ons in die hemel te kry. Ons is, sê 1Pet. 1:19, “losgekoop met die kosbare bloed van Christus, die Lam wat vlekloos en sonder liggaamsgebrek is.”

Die Here het jou lief, dien Hom met toewyding.

I would just like to thank the gentlemen at Silverton Radiators

[Louis Trichardt] for their help. They went the extra mile, above and beyond their normal duty.

My story is a long one, so I won’t bore you with it. I live between two places, Louis Trichardt and the Pilanesberg National Park in the North West. Therefore, I cover a fair bit of mileage.

Unfortunately, my car broke down in Hartebeespoort last August and had a recommended ‘local Harties mechanic’ fi x my car. Since then, I have had terrible problems with it. I regret using his service and all that he said about not taking advantage of a woman not being completely engine mechanical wise, was completely untrue!

Anyway, I was on my way back to work in the Pilanesberg after be-ing in Louis Trichardt when I broke down at Polokwane. I did not know whom to call, so I called Silverton

for advice as they had helped me to replace my radiator pipes and had tested the radiator for me before. They very kindly dropped every-thing to answer a distress call, drove all the way out to Polokwane, tried to fi x the problem at the side of the road, and also drove me into town to get a new part. Unfortunately, this did not work. The gentleman was very kind and off ered to wait with me for the tow truck and then gave me a lift home as it was unsafe at the side of the road and it was getting late.

All I can say is that I am totally fl abbergasted that this kind of ser-vice still exists today. The kindness and willingness to go the extra mile are qualities rarely found these days. I felt it necessary to say thank you publicly for the help I received from the gentlemen at Silverton. They really have been fantastic, going above and beyond their duty.

Many, many thanks for your wonderful service!

Matamela Muleba was die komiese reliëf tussen tonele van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt se jaarlikse Groentjie Konsert wat aangebied is vanaf 27 tot 28 Januarie. Matamela is ook na afloop van die konsert gekroon as mej. Groentjie 2016.

Hoërskool Louis Trichardt het voorverlede week vir twee aande, 27 en 28 Januarie, hul groentjiekonsert aangebied waartydens komiese tonele van die 2015 skooljaar uitgebeeld is. Li’Amore Lambrechts en Stiaan van Zyl het van die onderwysers vertolk.

Die tyd begin nou vinnig na-derkruip vir hierdie jaar se jaarlikse Kansa Relay for Life.

Hierdie jaar sal die Relay aangebied word vanaf 18 tot 19 Maart en die organiseerd-ers beoog om hulle mikpunt van 100 ingeskryfde spanne te haal. Die plaaslike organise-ringskomitee het Maandag weer bymekaar gekom om nog reëlings te finaliseer.

Enige iemand kan deelneem in spanverband, insluitend fam-ilies, vriende, skole, sportklubs, besighede, liefdadigheidsorgan-isasies en selfs staatsdeparte-mente. “Ons daag hierdie jaar se spanne uit om nou vinnig te begin inskryf om ‘n lekker

staanplek te kan kry,” het plaas-like Kansa-voorsitter mnr. Dirk Meissenheimer gesê.

Spanne moet bestaan uit 10 tot 15 persone per span en deel name kos R500 per span, of R750 vir ‘n span wat bestaan uit 15 lede. Geregistreerde spanne kan ook ‘n staanplek op die baan van ongeveer 3m x 4m kies en hul eie gazebo opslaan. Indien daar nou reeds ingeskryf word, kan spanne verseker dat hulle een van die beste staan-plekke kry.

Spanne wat voor die tyd ook wil fondsinsamelingsprojekte aanbied, word aangemoedig om dit te doen, mits hulle deeglik boek hou van geld wat inges-

amel word. Die boekhouwerk moet aan Kansa voorgelê word.

Oudergewoonte sal die Re-lay weer aangebied word op die sportveld van Hoërskool Louis Trichardt. Daar sal streng beheer toegepas word by die ingangshekke en geen drank, sigarette of dwelms sal toege-laat word op die veld nie.

Belangstellendes word gevra om so spoedig moontlik hul spanne in te skryf en te regis-treer by Heila Oosthuizen (082 525 3452) of Liesel Scholtz (072 234 6632).

Vir meer inligting kan Dirk ook geskakel word by tel. 082 789 3927.

Deur Andries van Zyl

Alhoewel die vissies maar gesukkel het om te byt, is daar Saterdag, 6 Februarie, lekker saamgekuier tydens die Louis Trichardt Ro-tariërs se drie-spesie hengelkom-petisie op die plaas Sweetwater (Mununzwu Estate) van die Hen-ning-familie.

Talle van die streek se gesoute hengelaars het die aanvanklike nat weer trotseer in die hoop om ‘n wen-vis te land. Die spesies wat gehengel is, was kurper, swartbaars en ‘n oop kategorie (enige ander spesie).

Reeds van vroeg af was dit duidelik dat die vissies nie lekker wou saam-

speel nie, met hoofsaaklik kleinerige kurpers wat uitgekom het. Die swart-baars wou natuurlike glad nie byt nie, maak nie saak hoe hard hengelaars probeer het nie.

Die tendens van klein kurpers en geen swartbaars het die hele dag voortgeduur, tot en met inweeg. Die inweeg was dan ook ‘n refl eksie van die dag se moeilike hengel, met die grootste kurper wat die skaal maar net tot op 250g kon trek. Hierdie vis was egter groot genoeg om aan hengelaar Franswa Coetzer die eer ste prys van R1 000 te besorg in die kurperafdel-ing. Tweede in dié afdeling was Mar-no van Zyl (R500) met ‘n kurper van 205g en derde Jensen Tshuma (R200),

ook met ‘n kurper van bykans 205g.Geen vis is geweeg in die swartbaars-af-

deling nie en baie van die hengelaars het kreatief begin dink wat betref die ope-af-deling. Babers het ook nie die dag hoek gevat nie, maar wat wel nou en dan gebyt het was ghieliemientjies. Wie sou kon dink dat ‘n 15g ghieliemientjie aan Jensen ook ‘n R1 000 eerste prys sou besorg. Norman

Rashua en Simon Miller was eweneens ge-lukkig en palm onderskeidelik die tweede (R500) en derde plekke (R200) in met hul vangs van ‘n 1g ghieliemientjie.

Vir diegene wat nie so gelukkig was om ‘n prys te wen nie, was daar ook heelwat trekpryse gewees, danksy talle borgskappe.

In dié verband het die Rotariërs hul

dank uitgespreek teenoor al die borge, insluitend Cycle Centre (pryse), Kremetart Karp (pryse), Tallisman (pryse en toilette), BB Mount Fuji (pryse), Zoutpansberg Privaathospitaal (borg), Carl Henning (beskikbaarstel van die dam), Louis Trich-ardt Hengelklub (inweegtoerusting) en die Zoutpansberger (advertensies).
