Duisende siek hoenders word van kant gemaakWillemien Aukema

HOëVELD - Die Hoëveldrif Dierebeskermingsvereniging (DBV) was onlangs by ’n grootskaalse projek betrokke om die verdere verspreiding van die H5N8 “voëlgriep”-virus te bekamp.

Dié virus, wat geklassi seer word as hoogsaansteeklik vir enige voëls, is nie gevaarlik vir mense nie en daar is nog geen aangemelde gevalle van die H5N8-virus wat mense siek gemaak het nie, hoewel mense wat op plase werk waar dié virus uitgebreek het, getoets is.

Daar is reeds twee ander plase in Mpumalanga waar dié virus gevind is en Suid-Afrika se pluimveeboere trek swaar onder ’n landwye verbod op die verkoop van lewendige voëls.

Verlede week het ’n plaaslike boer se grootste nagmerrie waar geword toe voëls op sy plaas skielik begin vrek het.

Sekere staatsinstellings is genader en daar is deur middel van toetse wat deur Onderstepoort uitgevoer is, bevestig dat dié voëls almal die H5N8-virus gehad het.

Sodra die teenwoordigheid van die virus op ’n plaas bevestig is, moet die plaas onder kwarentyn geplaas word en die oorblywende voëls so gou moontlik van kant gemaak word.

Dit is waar die werk van die DBV begin.In samewerking met die relevante

staatsdepartement en die staatsveearts, moet die voëls so gou moontlik uitgewis word en die karkasse moet met kalk behandel word en op die plaas begrawe word.

Enige eiers wat deur die geaffekteerde hoenders gelê is, moet ook vernietig word.

Daarna moet die hoenderhokke en hoenderhuise deeglik ontsmet word en daar mag geen pluimvee vir die volgende ses maande daar gehou word nie.

Op Donderdag, 13 Julie het dié proses begin en altesaam 40 mense, waaronder personeel van die Hoëveldrif DBV, het te werk gegaan om dié geaffekteerde hoenders van kant te maak.

Vroegoggend het me. Jenneth Geel, senior inspekteur van die DBV wat ondervinding het met dié soort krisissituasies, haar span werkers voorberei op die dag se werk.

“’n Mens dink jy is reg hiervoor omdat jy

weet dat dit moet gebeur, maar weet dat dit jou emosioneel gaan raak,” het sy gesê.

“Pas jouself op, luister na jou lyf en jou kop, en neem gereeld ’n paar minute se blaaskans.” Me. Geel het ook haar span daaraan herinner dat hulle verantwoordelikheid teenoor die diere het.

CRIME • MISDAAD

Men face life sentences for killing a policemanSECUNDA - Three men who killed a police of cer on 18 February 2014 were sentenced to life imprisonment each and a further 20 years by the Evander Regional Court on Wednesday, 12 July.

They are Sydney Mashaba (44), Frans Mathibela (45) and Khayelile Welcome Ngubane (38).

They were found guilty for the murder of Const Phumlani Nxumalo (44) who was stationed at the Secunda Area Crime Combating Unit and on 10 other charges, including hijacking, possession of an unlicensed rearm and ammunition, theft of a motor vehicle and robbery.

Const Nxumalo parked his vehicle next to the road in Ext 25 in Kinross when the three men approached him.

They ordered him to get out of his vehicle and when he tried to defend himself, he was hit on the head with the butt of a rearm and he collapsed.

The men sped off in his vehicle before abandoning it in Duba Park in eMalahleni.

Const Nxumalo tried to get up and run for help, but succumbed to his injuries a few metres from the scene and died.

On 19 February the men hijacked a

Bank employee sentencedEVANDER - Tankiso Gerald Radebe (28), a former bank employee, was sentence to 13 years’ imprisonment for fraud.

He was employed in August last year at the bank and transferred money from a client’s account to a fraudulent account without permission from the client.

A few days later, R40 000 was transferred to Radebe’s own private account.

A criminal case was opened and transferred to the Mpumalanga Hawks for further investigation. During the investigation it became apparent that R700 000 was involved in the fraudulent transfers.

According to Maj Gen Mokoena, provincial head of the Mpumalanga Hawks, the succesful conviction and sentencing were a direct result of the diligent work of Deputy W/O Sipho Patrick Nyathikazi who pursued the case.

Maj Gen Mokoena further praised the judiciary for their consistent work in eliminating offenders from the community by imposing tting sentences on them.

woman’s car, took her into bushes where they undressed and left her before eeing with her vehicle.

They also committed a robbery in Middelburg. They were arrested on 20 February and investigations positively linked them to all three cases.

The accused were denied bail and were in custody until their sentence.

The sentences were tabled as follows: Count 1- For the murder, all three were sentenced to life imprisonment. Count 2- Car hijacking, two accused were sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment each. Count 3 - One accused was sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment.

eMBALENHLE - Ms Mbalenzinhle Maseko denied and distanced herself from allegations that she abandoned her child in Pienaar, Mbombela (Nelspruit).

She said those who are circulating these allegations, are liars and are seeking to tarnish her image.

This came after the police recently released a press statement that they are looking for her, because she left her child at a day-care centre.

Police alleged Ms Maseko left the child with a 70-year-old granny at the day-care centre and said she was in a hurry to get to work. She said she would fetch the baby after work, however she did not return

According to the police, she allegedly called the granny recently and promised to deposit money so she can buy food for the baby.

Ms Maseko said: “I did not abandon my son, but left him there by agreement and I always go to see him.

“It is unfortunate that I cannot reveal some information on the media platform, because I have to protect me and my son.

“However, the old woman is not telling the truth, I love my son and will never abandon him.

“I do not see a need to explain myself to the public about this, but will follow it up with the police.”

Capt Jabu Ndubane, Pienaar Police Station’s spokesman, said the granny allegedly questioned Ms Maseko on why she did not collect her baby, but she hung up. “Her story does not sound true, however we communicate with her to hear the full version of what had happened.”

Mbali denies abandoning her child in Mbombela

eMBALENHLE - The conveners of a legal march had to seek safety at the Secunda Police Station to hand over their memorandum after they were allegedly threatened that they will be shot by a group of men.

They began to gather where the march was going to start in the early hours of Tuesday, 11 June when a group of men were dropped off by a well-known businessman.

They alleged these men were drunk, insulting them and telling them to call off the march because it was not serving the interest of the community.

The conveners believed the people who wanted to disrupt the march were sent by

politicians who felt the march was targeting them.

Mr Mandla Mbatha said fearing for their safety and the safety of the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs of cial who was supposed to receive the memorandum, the conveners arranged that the handover of the memorandum take place at the Secunda Police Station.

In the memorandum, the marchers are demanding the recall of the Govan Mbeki Municipal executive mayor, Ms Flora Maboa-Boltman, and Ms Ethel Nkosi, MMC of Community Services.

They called Ms Maboa-Boltman a “non-executive mayor” and accused her of nepotism, factionalism and arrogance.

They also expressed their dissatisfaction with service delivery in the area, youth empowerment and business people who are friends with some of the local top politicians.

“Service delivery is deteriorating daily in this municipality.

“The roads are full of potholes, while there was a budget for youth cooperatives to x them.

“Sewage, high service rates, electricity and housing are still big problems in our area.”

The memorandum was received by Mr Si so Nxumalo from Cogta.

SECUNDA - Me. Marie Burger is die eerste vrou wat as instrumentwerktuigkundige by Sasol Secunda gekwali seer het.

“Harde werk het my gebring waar ek vandag is en ek was bevoorreg om ’n ma te kon wees voordat ek ’n ambag begin volg het.”

Sy het reeds vyf hartaanvalle oorleef, drie baie groot en twee kleiner.

Me. Burger het agt stente, maar is gesond.Sy het op Vanderbijlpark grootgeword

en later grondslagfase-onderwys op Potchefstroom studeer en ook daar vir twee jaar skool gegee.

Laerskool Trichardt het haar in 1979 vir vier jaar as onderwyser gehad.

Me. Burger was ook die wiskunde- en aardrykskunde-onderwyser by Evander Hoër.

“Ek het vanaf 1983 tot 1988 by Evander Hoër en Highveld Park High School sang gegee.

“Dit was lekker omdat ek so tussen die twee skole kon werk.”

Me. Burger se lewe het verander die dag toe sy ’n advertensie in die koerant gelees het.

Sasol het vroue tot die ouderdom van 30 gesoek wat wou leer om as instrumentwerktuigkundiges te kwali seer.

“Omdat ek van uitdagings hou en nooit die geleentheid gehad het om iets anders te kon doen nie, wou ek bitter graag ’n sukses daarvan maak.

“In ons tyd mag vroue net onderwysers en

Marie Burger sê vroue moet hul grense skuifSan-Marié Cronjé verpleegster geword het en dit was my kans

om iets anders te kon doen.“Ons het aanlegtoetse geskryf en ek het

baie goed daarin gevaar.“Die opleiding het op 3 Oktober 1988

begin en ons was net twee vroue tussen al die mans.

“Ons basiese opleiding het op 29 Januarie 1989 begin en daar was daardie jaar ’n groot brand op Sasol.

“Ons moes inspring en help waar ons kon, waarvoor ek dankbaar was omdat ek baie ondervinding opgedoen het.

“Die opleiding was ons gekry het, was met ’n saag en ’n vyl en ons het siese werk met ons hande gedoen.

“My hande was in ’n toestand en het soms sommer net begin bloei.

“Ek het my hande met Dubbin gesmeer om hulle hard te maak.”

Me. Burger het eers gedink dat sy fyner werk sou moes doen, maar het vinnig geleer dat instrumentasie uit twee dele bestaan en dat sy nié die fyner deel leer nie.

Weens die brand was daar baie herstelwerk wat gedoen moes word en hulle het tot gehelp verf.

“Ek het baie by die ouer ambagsmanne geleer en is dankbaar daarvoor.

“Dit was moeilik om in ’n manswêreld aan te pas.

“Daar is gereeld vir my gesê dat ek mos nou in ’n manswêreld wil wees, so ek moet dié goed dra en dáárdie goed skuif.

“’n Gereelde sêding was: ‘Kom sussie, kom, jy wou mos ’n ambag loop, laat jy dra’.”

Me. Burger het as die beste kwekeling onder die mans en vroue gekwali seer en was die eerste vroulike instrumentwerktuigkundige by Sasol Secunda in September 1990.

Sy is in 2000 as groepleier aangewys.Me. Burger speel gereeld klavier en het ’n

gr. 7 Unisa-klavierkwali kasie.

Sy speel ook kitaar en blok uit en hekel graag.

“Ek is dankbaar daarvoor dat ek deure vir ander vroue kon oopmaak en kon wys dat dit gedoen kan word.

“Mense moet nie net dinge aanvaar nie,

‘Daar is gereeld vir my gesê dat ek mos nou in ’n manswêreld wil wees, so ek moet dié goed dra en dáárdie goed skuif’

hulle moet hul grense skuif.”Me. Burger se volgende uitdaging is om

die saksofoon te leer speel.Sy was tot 2016 by verskillende

mynprojekte betrokke met opleiding en ander mynverwante werk.

Me. Marie Burger is die eerste vrou wat as instrumentwerktuigkundige op die Sasol Secunda-aanleg gekwali seer het.

SECUNDA - Angry residents from eMbalenhle dumped old electricity appliances such as televisions and fridges, inside Govan Mbeki Municipality’s premises to protest against power outages and poor service delivery in the township on Thursday, 13 July.

They claimed the severe power outages without notices have damaged their appliances.

The protesters demanded to see an of cial of the Department Technical Services.

They claimed they were sick and tired of blaming politicians.

They said municipal of cials are lazy and are not doing their job.

“The of cials must do the job and the politician must oversee it.

“We have noted that most of the of cials are not doing their work, hence we are here and we need them to come to us to explain why they do not do their job.

“They were employed to provide services to the people.”

They said the protest was not politically in uenced and that they were not protesting against certain politicians.

They further realised politicians have forgotten their mandate and are busy ghting one another at the expense of residents.

“This administration is new, but these problems have been ongoing in our area.

“We have now reached the stage that we say enough is enough.

“We cannot fold our arms while our democratic rights are being violated.”

Residents said power outages are not the only problem.

The streets of eMbalenhle are over owing with sewage and the waste is piling up each

Sifi so Mathebula

Protesters dumped broken appliances and blame power outages

day due to non collections.“The state of the municipality is bad and

if residents do not unite and demand service, things will worsen.”

Mr Anthony Makhaye, MMC of Technical Services, addressed the protesters and said he could not give an answer.

He said he would listen and consult others over the complaints.

He invited the protesters to a meeting that was supposed to be held in eMbalenhle on Sunday, 16 July, however it did not take place.

The residents were up in arms over this and went to the municipal of ces in eMbalenhle and shut down the of ces on 17 July.

They said they would not allow the

eMbalenhle municipal of ces to operate until the directors and managers of the Department Technical Service address them.

The of ces were still closed at time of going to the press.

Mr Bheki Kubheka, municipal spokesman, said the appliances brought by the people were old and it did not seem as though they were damaged recently.

He said the municipality has implemented load shedding so it can control power consumption in the area.

According to Mr Kubheke, the council is working round the clock to nd permanent solutions to the electricity problem in the area.

‘The state of the municipality is bad and if residents do not unite and demand service, things will worsen’

BETHAL - Die plaaslike munisipaliteit het tot dusver versuim om dringend aandag te gee aan oop kragdrade by ’n paal in Van der Hydelaan op Bethal.

Die dorp was vir twee agtereenvolgende dae, 8 en 9 Julie, sonder krag.

Na die krag op Saterdag, 8 Julie heel dag af was vir herstelwerk en opgradering, was daar ’n ontplof ng by die betrokke paal toe die krag die aand aangeskakel is.

Dieselfde aand is die probleem deur die raadslid, me. Marietjie Fourie, aangemeld.

Teen 9 Julie het sy dit by die streekbestuurder van die energie-afdeling aangemeld.

Sy het dit ook by die opsiener van die elektrisiëns aangemeld.

Wilma van Vuuren Die munisipale werkers het eers op 10 Julie daar opgedaag en die kabel gelas.

Hulle het egter versuim om die ondergrondse kabel weer toe te gooi en hul werk net so gelos.

Die DA-verteenwoordiger op die munisipaliteit se tegniese portfoliokomitee het die probleem ook tydens hul vergadering aangemeld, en ook foto’s gewys.

Me. Fourie het op haar beurt op 12 Julie ’n amptelike epos gestuur aan die burgemeesterskomiteelid belas met tegniese dienste, en ook foto’s in die epos aangeheg.

Teen 13 Julie, met Ridge Times se besoek, is die probleem nog nie opgelos nie en oop kragdrade, asook die ondergrondse kabel, was duidelik sigbaar.

Die munisipaliteit het versuim om kommentaar oor die probleem te gee.

KINROSS - The parent of a Grade 1 learner at eMdibini Combined School is still waiting for a response from the Department of Basic Education after her daughter got injured at school on 26 April and was alleged to have been given rst aid by her fellow learners.

The learner was apparently pushed by a Grade 6 learner during break time and was injured behind her ear with a sharp object.

Learners who witnessed the incident, said after the child fell down, the Grade 6 learner instructed her to get up.

Other learners from her grade noticed blood and reported the incident to their class teacher.

The teacher was busy with the school inspector at the time and when she went towards the injured learner, the principal allegedly instructed her to return to the inspector.

The learners ran to their former class teacher and informed her of the incident.

On her arrival, she found the learners were wearing gloves and were trying to give rst aid to the injured learner.

They were apparently instructed to clean the injured learner and to wash her shirt that was stained with blood.

The mother of the injured child con rmed that the child’s shirt was washed at school and that she was sent home wearing a netball jersey.

She said the class teacher phoned her to nd out how the child was doing.

“I told her I was at work and was not aware that anything was wrong with my child.

“I got permission from work to go home.”When she arrived, she saw her child’s

neck and ear were swollen and took her to the doctor.

The doctor said her child was severely injured and was shocked to hear she was

attended to by other learners. The mother visited the school on 2 May. “The principal was very rude when I asked

her what the teachers did after my child was injured.

“She told me she cannot run after my child during the break and they will not use their cars to take my child to the clinic or the doctor.”

The mother added that what made her angrier, was when she asked the principal what would have happened if her child had died at school because they did not want to summon an ambulance or use their cars.

“She said if she had died, she would have been buried. I had to ask her those questions because my child nearly died because the learners were instructed to give rst aid.

“She could also not answer when I asked her whether those learners were trained to do rst aid.”

The mother also wanted to know whether the parents of the learner responsible for the injury was aware of the injuries that her child had suffered.

The principal said she would write a letter and request them to visit the school for a meeting with both parents and the school governing body.

The meeting took place on 8 May between the parents, the principal and the SGB.

The SGB apologised to the mother on behalf of the school, but things turned ugly when the mother wanted to know what measures will be put in place to ensure something like this does not happen again.

“I was told that I think I am better and more educated than those present.

“The SGB even told me to ‘voertsek’.”No comment was received from the

Mpumalanga Department of Education, but inside sources informed the newspaper that the principal received an email from the department instructing her to explain what had happened.

Laurna Coetzer se lewe draai om DBV se diereWilma van Vuuren

BETHAL - As die personeel van Bethal DBV diere moet uitsit, praat hulle met die diere en vra verskoning dat mense hulle so sleg behandel het.

Me. Laurna Coetzer, inspekteur en bestuurder van Bethal DBV, het verlede week gesê sy wil niks anders in haar lewe doen, as om vir diere te sorg nie.

“Ek was nooit bevoorreg om kinders te hê nie en was nog altyd baie lief vir diere, maar ek het nooit by die DBV gekom nie.

“Sedert ek hier begin werk het, het die skille van my oë afgeval en besef ek nou wat ek al die jare gemis het.

“Ek moes vroeër hierdie werk gedoen het.”

Me. Coetzer het vir jare onder andere

voertuie verkoop en nadat sy 18 maande lank bedlêend was weens ’n virus in haar heup, het sy op 1 Februarie 2016 by Bethal DBV begin werk.

Volgens haar is elke dag ’n uitdaging, maar sy kan nie soggens wag om by die werk te kom nie.

“My hele lewe het verander en dit is die wonderlikste gevoel op aarde as jy ’n klein, bang hondjie ingekry het en met die aandag wat jy hom gee, hy dan ontpop in ’n liefdevolle diertjie.

“Dit is wat geluk beteken.”Sy het gesê wanneer honde aangeneem

word, huil sy haarself “besimpeld”.As die nuwe eienaars egter foto’s stuur en

wys hoe goed dit met hulle gaan, bring dit hope vreugde.

Aan die begin het sy haar hart uitgehuil as honde uitgesit moet word, maar deesdae gaan dit beter.

Me. Coetzer het verskeie kursusse by die Nasionale DBV gevolg.

Iets wat sy geleer het, is dat diere ’n intertrinsieke waarde het, dat hulle ook hartseer beleef, dat hulle ook af dae het, maar dat ook vir hulle die beste gevoel is wanneer hulle aandag en liefde kry.

Dieremishandeling ontstel haar verskriklik, maar die suksesse wat hulle bereik wanneer hulle sulke diere red, maak haar gelukkig.

Bethal DBV spog deesdae met baie vrywilligers wat met die honde kom speel.

“Dit lewe weer hier en ons het ’n uitstekende komitee wat hard werk.”

Van die vrywilligers beplan ook om ’n projek te loods om rooi ligte in die hokke te installeer sodat die diere nie in die winter te koud kry nie.

Me. Coetzer het gesê dat van die klein diertjies saans in die kantoor gehuisves word om hulle teen die koue te beskerm.

Omdat Bethal ’n klein gebied is en die DBV nie geld mag insamel buite hul gebied nie, kry hulle swaar.

“Ons groot bakkie het gebreek en die koste beloop R21 000.

Die klein bakkie moet ook dringend gediens word.

“Ons het net eenvoudig nie daardie geld nie en ons het dringend hulp nodig.”

Me. Coetzer het die vorige bestuurder, me. Alma Botha, geprys vir die werk wat sy by die DBV gedoen het.

“Sy het wondere hier verrig.”Mense en ondernemings kan hokke borg

teen R500 per maand.Kos en ander noodsaaklikhede is ook

welkom.Belangstellendes kan die DBV op

Facebook volg.Skakel hulle by 017 647 5360.

‘The most affordable way I can entertain my children, is to give them freedom to play in the park but it needs serious safety monitoring’

Yes, there is. I know that my kids are more on social network and are movie orientated, so I buy them suf cient data bundles’

‘If you take your children to an outdoor play park, kids can play while parents relax. It is free and good to get some fresh air’

Mashudu helps women live a purposeful lifeLevhuwani Matumba

SECUNDA - Ms Mashudu Mulaudzi is the woman behind the high tea events with the brand name I am a woman, I have a purpose.

Her organisation focuses on heightening the development of women in the community and established in 2016 after she realised that women deal with various challenges daily.

“Women are globally untapped potential.”Ms Mulaudzi regards herself as an

advocate for growth and sustenance of women.

She added that all women have a great existence when they are supported.

Her vision is to develop more con dent women leaders to be equipped and be passionate about leading organisations, businesses, schools and agencies domestically and internationally.

Ms Mulaudzi mentioned that her organisation works to contribute towards a society where women leaders are no longer viewed as the exception to the rule, but as

relevant assets and necessary additions to organisations globally.

“I host seminars, workshops and other events to get women empowered.

“Some do not understand what empowerment entails and therefore fail to see the need to attend these events and mingle with other women.”

Her organisation is also faced with the challenge of getting entrepreneurs or organisations to partner with.

“I run soup kitchens to feed those who have nothing and to give out clothes and food parcels to those who are in need.”

Some of Ms Mulaudzi’s recent projects include spending a day with the Kinross senior citizens where she was trying to understand their daily struggles.

She also raised funds for the struggling day-care centre based in eMbalenhle.

Ms Mulaudzi partnered with other women agencies inside and outside the country, such as Botswana, Zambia and Nigeria.

Besides being an advocate for women, she is a chemical engineer by profession.

Her future focus is to connect with organisations on the continent and to mentor and develop women internationally in all aspects.

Ms Mulaudzi’s future project is a high tea on Saturday, 2 September at Umuzi Lodge in Secunda.

In October she will attend a dynamic women’s conference in Botswana.

Ms Mashududu Mulaudzi recently hosted a fundraising event at Oregon Spur in Secunda in aid of a day-care centre. With her are Mr Nicholas Mashiane (former Mr SA contestant), Ms Lizelle Riekert and Mr Armand Riekert from Spur.

Her future focus is to connect with organisations on the continent and to mentor and develop women internationally

BETHAL - ’n Nuwe buurtwag wat onder die vaandel van AfriForum bedryf gaan word, is verlede Dinsdag op Bethal gestig.

Die buurtwag, in samewerking met die plaaslike Gemeenskapspolisiëringskomitee (GPF), sal in vier van die ses sektors op Bethal bedryf word.

Sektors vyf en ses het besluit om nie deel van die nuwe buurtwag te word nie en eerder op hul eie te funksioneer.

Me. Ingrid Human, voorsitter van AfriForum se tak op Bethal, het op haar beurt gesê dit is belangrik vir alle Bethallers om saam te werk.

“Hier is baie tekortkominge op Bethal en ons sal hande moet neem om dit reg te stel.

“Die buurtwag is een van baie dienste wat AfriForum bied.” Sy het inwoners genooi om haar te skakel as hulle iets sien wat nie reg is nie. Skakel haar by 082 923 0211.

Mnr. Jaap Pretorius is as voorsitter van die nuwe AfriForum Buurtwag verkies, met mnr. Wian Fourie as ondervoorsitter.

Me. Madelein Jooste en me. Debbie Duvenhage is die sekretarisse, terwyl me. Marile Nieuwoudt die koördineerder is.

Die sektorleiers is mnre. Seis Prinsloo (sektor 1), Dirk Badenhorst (sektor 2), Wimpie Long (sektor 3) en Johnny van Greunen (sektor 4).

Mnr. Pretorius het na die verkiesing die hoop uitgespreek dat hulle die pad vorentoe saam kan stap.

Help Bafana to get his normal life backLevhuwani Matumba

KINROSS - Mr Bafana Tshabalala spends almost every minute of his life pulling big recycling bags with his trolley.

While other people sleep in their houses at night, Mr Tshabalala sleeps on the road.

According to him, he does not have a place to stay and was raised on farms near Standerton.

Mr Tshabalala has a South African identity document, speaks uent Zulu and Pedi and

does not smoke or drink.He is a humble man who always thanks

the people who help him with blankets and clothes.

Mr Tshabalala admitted that pulling big recycling bags every day, is tiring and at times his feet are swollen.

Though he gets emotional when asked why he ended up on the streets, he also wishes to have a place of his own like anybody else. He also could not tell whether he has a wife, children or siblings.

Oksana and HTC offer free mentorshipLevhuwani Matumba

eMBALENHLE - Oksana Safety and Protection has partnered with the Holy Trinity Church to offer free mentorship and coaching to learners.

Classes will be offered every Saturday morning from 9am to 12pm at the Holy Trinity Church.

One of the people who will mentor learners, is Ms Julie Somiah, a BA graduate and director of Oksana Safety and Protection.

Ms Somiah was a school educator for many years and understands the needs and requirements of learners.

She said the reason for taking part in a community project that focuses on the youth and education, is because her previous learners always said they lacked the time, space, resources and educational guidance at their homes.

Children will spend their Saturday mornings under the supervision of mentors and coaches who will assist them with their educational, and other needs that they may have as young and growing teenagers.

Bishop David Mkhize from the Holy Trinity Church said as a parent and a resident, he is also aware of the social situations that some kids nd themselves in.

“Some are raised by single parents and live in poverty.

“Some have a lack of support and there are other things that have an affect on them, such as alcohol abuse, noise and disturbances.”

Mr Darly Somiah from Oksana Safety and Protection said his company will have their

safety of cers and a protection team stationed at appropriate spots to ensure the safety of the children when they go to and leave their classes on Saturdays.

Some of the bene ts are a learning environment for children to complete their homework, mentoring and guidance in problem areas, working in groups, sharing ideas and improving their communication skills.

For more information, contact Ms Somiah at 072 246 2810 or Mr Daryl at 079 491 1828.

SECUNDA - Secunda Hengelklub het Saterdag, 8 Julie ’n kolgooi- en hengelkliniek by Laerskool Trichardt aangebied.

Andries Maree en Schalk van Breda het albei agt agtereenvolgende jare Protea-kleure vir hengel ontvang.

Hulle was al dié jare penmaats.Hengelaars wat gretig was om te leer, het

die dag bygewoon en aandagtig na Andries en Schalk geluister.

Daar is gedemonstreer hoe jy maklik op droë grond kan oefen om jou rigting en afstand te verbeter.

“Moenie tevrede wees met die tweede beste nie.

“Wanneer jy in jou hart voel jou gooi is nie reg nie, gooi oor,” het Andries gesê.

Hy het ook genoem dat jy nie ’n gewiggie wat te swaar is, in vlak water moet gebruik nie.

Wanneer die gewiggie te swaar is, sink dit te vinnig of beland in die modder.

“Jy moet jou stok gebruik om te mik en onthou dat wanneer jou voete skuif, jou skouer ook moet skuif.

“Jy moet die heeltyd saam met jou stok skuif.” het Schalk gesê.

Hengelaars het met ’n gholfballetjie voor aan die lyn kolgooi en afstandgooi geoefen.

Volgens Schalk werk dit lekker en is dit goed om so te oefen.

Wanneer gewiggies op droë grond gebruik word, kan dit buig.

Andries Maree wys vir Zane Eekhout hoe om te mik.

SECUNDA - The Secunda Sasol Canoe Club hosted their 13th annual river race on Saturday, 15 July.

The race began at the Trichardtsfontein Dam and after one lap, the paddlers had to traverse 9km of rapidly owing ice cold water to reach the nish line at the Syferfontein Dam.

Every year before the race, members of the canoe club prepare the course by removing debris and hazards from the river and making sure the course is safe.

Canoe club members also act as marshals along the route and are on duty at technically dif cult rapids and obstacles to guide and help paddlers in need.

However, the race still proved too much for some paddlers and there were no less than four broken canoes and two withdrawals due to the cold and the technically challenging nature of the course.

Of the 36 entries, 30 paddlers completed the course successfully and there were no serious injuries.

The men’s winner, Loveday Zondi, is a respected and nationally known paddler from Soweto CC who is also a coach and mentor to many developing paddlers.

He completed the course in 1:13 and has won this race for the seventh time.

River race claims four canoes

The women’s winner is Morgan Ziervogel from JCC Gauteng and Johannesburg CC, who nished in a respectable time of 1:30.

She was 15th overall.

The Secunda Sasol Canoe Club was established in 2000 for the community to become involved in this exciting sport.

Anyone interested in outdoor adventure

sport, can attend try-outs for the club later in the year and there are facilities and equipment available for people interested in joining the club.

Both single and tandem paddlers braved the ice cold water on Saturday, 15 July.
