Photo: Arisja Misselhorn 2 guilty of cyclist’s death Jacobus Joubert and Wesley Ladeira were both found guilty in the Regional Court last Friday of culpable homicide and reckless driving. T hree years after cyclist Christelle Swanepoel was run over and killed in front of her husband of seven months, Richard, and her father, Dr Hannes Welman, Regional Court magistrate Mashigo found the two motorists involved guilty of manslaughter. Both men were also found guilty of driving recklessly – a charge stemming from the injuries sustained by Richard Swanepoel who was also knocked from his bicycle in the accident that occurred in Oliver Thambo Drive on 1 May 2012. Mashigo said the testimony in court of the three eye witnesses, Johannes Swanepoel, Riaan Fourie and Christina Moolman, proved that there had been a street race between Joubert in his charged up Uno and Ladeira in his M5 BMW. Joubert previously testified that Ladeira and another BMW driver had been racing at the time and that he, while admiring the two speeding vehicles, tried to keep up with them. According to him, Ladeira had caused the accident by swerving into his lane and slamming on brakes, causing Joubert to pull left, hit the street curb and lose control of his vehicle. The spinning Uno crashed into Christelle and then into Richard. According to Dr du Plooy, state pathologist, Christelle died of multiple injuries consistent with that of a vehicle spinning on top of her. Her head had almost been severed. Ladeira in his testimony denied any knowledge of a street race, of competing with Joubert or of the accident. He claimed he had seen a dust cloud in his review mirror when he had been about to turn into PDP Kruger Street to go to KFC. His vehicle showed no signs of being in an accident. Mashigo said both men tried to divorce themselves from the evidence – that they had been racing - and he found their testimonies untruthful and unlikely. He said the reasonable man would have foreseen that a street race might cause an accident. He also found Ladeira guilty on four other charges, namely failing to stop after a collision, failing to assess the injuries, failing to render assistance after an accident and failure to assess damages. Ladeira had to hand in his passport after the court adjourned. The case has been postponed to 2 November for a pre-sentencing report by the department of correctional services. - Arisja Misselhorn 2 dieBulletin 31 Julie / July 2015 Arrested cop remains in custody A constable in the Secunda police’s detective unit has been arrested on Sunday for defeating the ends of justice. C onst Linda Ngwenya (30), who had been working in the detectives’ crime office for several years, is being suspected of colluding with and helping armed robbers escape. He was arrested after an armed robbery at the Pick ‘n Pay bottle store at the Driefontein Centre during the early morning hours of Sunday. A group of armed men grabbed two security guards patrolling the centre and tied them up with cable ties behind the building. Two of the robbers clad themselves in the security guards’ caps and reflector vests. The others broke through the bottle store ceiling and allegedly stole items in the store valued at more than R13 000. According to a source close to the investigation, one of the tied up security guards activated an alarm, unbeknown to the robbers. An armed reaction officer of Roman Alarms heeded the call and found the two imposters on the scene who told him all was well. He found it suspicious that none of the men even mentioned sounding an alarm and decided to investigate. The imposters abandoned their post and scattered into green strip behind Oranjegloed Primary School. The armed reaction officer returned to the store where he found the two tied up guards. He called the police and then went in search of the other suspects. He spotted one of the suspects hiding behind an electricity box in Abraham Jonker Street and tackled him. At that point Ngwenya allegedly stopped next to them in a police vehicle and offered to take the suspect to the police station. Oloff dies in his sleep Oloff van Wyk (45), a Secunda resident especially well-known in media and publishing circles, was found dead on his bed on Monday morning. According to his business partner, Ozila Dlamini (owner of Ekasi News), Oloff complained of chest pain to a neighbour on Sunday night. Ozila found Oloff’s body in the morning when he arrived at Oloff’s apartment to pick him up for work. “I suspected something was The armed reaction officer relinquished the suspect into Ngwenya’s custody and then returned to the crime scene where he was met by uniformed policemen. They all proceeded to the police station. There was allegedly no trace of Ngwenya or the arrested suspect at the police station and no one had been booked. The armed reaction officer and members of the uniformed branch immediate began searching for the missing police vehicle. Ngwenya was spotted near the Sasol Filling Station in Walter Sisulu Drive travelling at high speed and skipping traffic lights on the way to the police station. The uniformed members gave chase and blocked his path at the police station. Three people were seen fleeing from the vehicle driven by Ngwenya. Approaching the scene from another point, the armed reaction officer from Roman Alarms saw two men hiding in the dark with their backs turned. He called for the police members who helped him catch these men. The third man, who was also the suspect initially arrested, managed to escape. The security guards who had been overpowered and tied up, later identified the two men caught at the police station as the armed robbers. Ngwenya was arrested by his commanding officer and appeared in court on Monday alongside the two other suspects. The case was postponed until 12 August. They will remain in police custody. The spokesperson for the Secunda Police Station, Lt Bettinah Zondo, confirmed the incident and Ngwenya’s arrest. Arisja Misselhorn No electricity in Kinross this Sunday wrong when Oloff did not answer the door or his phone. The rental agent gave permission that we break the window.” Oloff was in charge of the Secunda Voice and had previously published Haute and Home and a real estate pamphlet. The funeral will be held from the N.G. Rondekerk on Tuesday, 4 August, at 11:00. Oloff leaves behind his father Johann van Wyk, a brother Gherard and a sister Lizl. Oloff van Wyk. Kinross residents will spend most of their day this coming Sunday without electricity. The Govan Mbeki Municipality warns residents of Kinross that the electricity will be the interruption from 08:30 to 17:00 due to a scheduled repair and maintenance of the main sub-station. The municipality apologises for any inconvenience that may be caused by this essential process. Residents are requested to switch off all electrical appliances on Sunday day as the municipality will not be held liable for any damages to electrical appliances. They also urge residents to treat all electricity installations as live throughout the repair and maintenance.

The policemen were conducting proactive policing when they received information about a suspect vehicle in the area. They searched the vehicle and found five containers known as arms full of dagga. The value of the dagga is estimated at R10 000. Police are still investigating the case and the men already appeared in court for dealing in drugs. 31 Julie / July 2015 theBulletin Hawks trap student 3 The Secunda Hawks caught a dealer in illegal cigarettes in a clandestine operation last Thursday. T The Secunda Hawks arrested this Ethiopian man for selling illicit cigarettes. He told The Bulletin that he is a student and was “merely trying to earn a living”. he young man was snared in a trap and arrested at a local business in Secunda. The dealer, an Ethiopian citizen who is a student at the Vaal Technikon Secunda Campus, recently allegedly approached business owners with a proposition to supply them with Pacific Blue, cheap illegal cigarettes. The owner and staff of one such business approached The Bulletin with the information which was then passed on to the Hawks. The owner, who is to remain anonymous as the investigation is still in progress, agreed to set up a deal with the Ethiopian. They agreed to meet in the shop on Thursday. As soon as the young man delivered the 10 cartons of cigarettes, the police members moved in and arrested him. His room in a house in Piet Retief Street was searched and the Hawks confiscated his laptop and cell phone. Follow up information then led the police to a house in eMbalenhle identified as the warehouse for the cigarettes. A task team was compiled to crack down on the house, but by the time they arrived, the building was emptied. The investigation is continuing to find the new hiding place . The student appeared in the Secunda Vierpotige kollegas is ook sy beste vriende ’n Hond is ’n man se beste vriend. Adj.-off. Heintjie ‘Albie’ Alberts het sommer twee “beste vriende” waarmee hy daagliks werk. Albie is al van 1995 af deel van die polisie se honde-eenheid en sy twee beste vriende is Brutus, ’n Kelpie-reun en Ida, ’n Labradorteef. Die Kelpieras word van Australië af ingevoer en is met die Dingowildehond van Australië, gekruis. Albei honde is al 10 jaar oud en volgens Albie sal hulle binnekort moet aftree. Hy beplan om hulle dan te koop by die polisie en huis toe te neem. Brutus is ’n brandondersoekhond. Volgens Albie is daar tans net sowat 14 van hulle in die land. Ida is ’n springstofhond. Albie het vir ’n ruk in die onlusteeenheid van die polisie gewerk, maar was ses maande later weer terug by die honde. “Ek is maar lief vir die honde,” het hy gesê. Hy het in 1996 sy eerste patrolliehond-kursus gedoen en ’n jaar later ’n springstofhondkursus. Brutus is in 2007 opgelei en Ida in 2009. Die hanteerders lei meestal self hul honde op en dit neem ure se geduld en deursettingsvermoë. Brutus het al meer as 500 tonele ondersoek en kan enige brandmiddels uitruik en uitwys. Sy neus tel selfs net ’n druppel brandstof op en hy raak baie opgewonde as hy dit gekry het en blaf dan opgewonde. Albie beloon hulle met ’n tennisbal, dan word daar eers bietjie gespeel. Van die ander honde wat vir die polisie werk, is patrolliehonde, dwelmhonde, spoorhonde, geldhonde, bloed en semenhonde, b e d r e i g d e spesiehonde en reddingshonde. Albie het twee jaar voordat hy by die honde-eenheid ingeskakel het, by die polisiediens aangesluit. Hy het destyds saam met oud-hondemanne gewerk en dit is waar sy liefde en belangstelling die polisie se snuffelhonde vandaan kom. Dié werk is nie altyd veilig nie en die koeëls van ’n AK47-geweer het al oor Albie en een van sy vorige honde, Simba, ’n Duitse Herdershond, se koppe gevlieg. Hulle het gelukkig albei ongedeerd van die voorval afgekom. Sy heel eerste polisiehond was Twane, ’n Duitse Herdershond en Albie sou dié ras kies as hy kon kies. “Dit was maar my eerste liefde,” het hy gesê. “Hulle is baie slim, maar enige hond is opleibaar.” Twane was vir nege jaar Albie se beste vriend en hy is dood so jaar nadat hy afgetree het. “Hy het verlam geword en ons het hom toe maar laat uitsit, want hy kon nie meer loop nie. “Hy was ’n fantastiese hond en hardwerkend tot op die einde, ek het lang trane gehuil toe ons hom van kant moes laat maak.” Die slegste dag in Albie se loopbaan was toe een van sy vriende en polisielede, Jan Sonnekus op die ouderdom van 29 in ’n gewapende roof doodgeskiet is. Die beste dag in sy lewe was toe hy die opleiding van sy eerste hond voltooi het. Die opleiding duur sowat vier en ’n half maande en die honde moet dan ’n sekere standaard handhaaf. Hulle word jaarliks getoets en kry dan punte vir hul vaardighede. Die honde moet minstens 96% kry om te slaag. “Elke hond is anders en mens moet by hul persoonlikehede aanpas en hulle by die begeleider s’n ook. “Met Brutus moet ek hard praat, dan luister hy eers, met Ida moet ek sagter praat want as ek te hard met haar praat, werk sy nie so goed nie.” Albie oefen weekliks met Brutus en Ida en geniet elke oomblik van sy werk.- Jana Oosthuizen Magistrate’s Court on Monday and was granted bail. The Hawks warned shop owners to be vigilant when buying cigarettes from small wholesalers as many cigarettes, in particular Pacific Blue, are counterfeit.

The declaration for the use of these minutes - not even decreed by our own government but by an organisation with a questionable reputation, the United Nations, on November 2009. And not by Mr. Mandela, himself as we are led to believe. Please, do not think that the writer does not support these 67 minutes of efforts and energy that brings enjoyment to the less fortunate. It is the aftermath that is full of unfulfilled expectation, the waiting of the next 67 minutes to arrive. The anticipation of thousands of down and out fellow brothers and sisters who were not included in these rounds handouts. Even though not all projects can be accommodated during these 67 minutes, we must make sure that the time is used effectively. Are we spending these 4020 seconds on projects that should only benefit our fellow citizens? Are we wasting these valuable minutes on projects that do not uplift those who require it the most - the children of our country? What do we do after the hype? We have done our bit; we answered the call to do well to others, now, back to the normal in an abnormally divided society. As quoted from the Afrikaans poet’s book, Hoor hoe honger kinders huil, Pieter F. Bruwer says the following: Die dromer droom hier diep in my, begeer ’n plekkie om te skuil, wil harde werklikheid vermy- hy hoor hoe honger kinders huil. Do we hear the plight of the thousands upon thousands of children who are still crying, waiting for their 67 minutes that should happen in 512640 minutes time?

He won the final round of the Graceland Idols Competition held on Sunday night, 26 July. The Buffalo Bills Bar was packed with fans and supporters of the six finalists who performed for the grand prize. Michael, who became known for his love of more alternative music, wowed the judges – guest judge Heinrich Britz, Yolanda Theron and Sandy Deonarain – with his rendition of the judges’ choice song for the three male contestants, and an Afrikaans song. The contestants had to scale the stage three times on Sunday night. They were allowed two songs of their own choice. All the contenders had to sing the same song chosen by the judges. The male contestants were given the song Honey I’m good - a song with a country vibe by Andy Grammer. The judges’ choice for the three female vocalists was Kelly Clarkson’s Heartbeat. Michael’s version of the judges’ choice received a huge response from the audience, as well as great comments from the judges. It was quite unexpected when Michael announced his second song – Robbie Wessels’ Hailley se Komeet. Michael’s last song was Phillip Phillips’ Gone Gone Gone. The judges agreed that Michael is an extremely versatile performer who could pull off any song. Michael won the performing contract from Graceland, demo CD recording from Rodway Entertainment, R5 000 cash and a microphone valued at R700. Ayanda Adams from Trichardt won the second prize of R3 000. Tanya da Silva is the third place winner. She won R1 500. The three other finalists were Louis van Rooyen, Stephen Curlewis and Ronél Landman. - Arisja Misselhorn Michael Louw celebrates his victory. 'Im going to ride this train' The judges: Sandy Deonarain, Heinrich Britz and Yolanda Theron Tanya da Silva - 3rd place For Michael Louw winning the 2015 Graceland Idols competition is the first step to reaching his dream of being a fulltime entertainer. “My next step is to ride this train all the way, and if the train runs out of tracks, I will lay new tracks myself!” he exclaimed in an interview with The Bulletin, who is also a proud sponsor of this competition. This safety practitioner who is celebrating his 31st birthday next week, has big plans for his Graceland gigs. Although he won the seventh heat of the weekly competition, Michael confessed that he Gordon Rodway was the presenter. had not expected to be the overall winner. He will still host kareoke nights on “The competition was very tough – Sundays. especially Stephen Curlewis. That guy has a fantastic voice and he is precise in Ayanda Adams his music.” Although Michael appeared - runner up to be calm and collective during each performance, he says it was quite the contrary. “I was so nervous. But as soon as I get on that stage, it all just dissolves, and then I just want to do my best to amaze and entertain people. I have always been a very extroverted person, and I love making people laugh. So I guess that is where it started.” According to Michael, the only other performances he gave before Graceland, were at friends’ functions and weddings. But he loves singing. “I sing as often as Neon lights, glow in the dark body paint, flames, smoke, DJ’s and pulsating music turned the Graceland Arena into a spectacular visual feast on Friday night, 24 July. Graceland hosted the first Night at the Beat event in conjunction with Spectacular Events and DJ Andrew. A night with beat I can. I actually sing everywhere - at work, at home, even in town to random people.” Soft rock and alternative rock are his favourite genres, but says Michael “lyrics are what gets me. If a song has deep, well written lyrics, that is what wins my approval.” Dave Grohl lead singer of the Foo Fighters is by far his favourite artist. “He is an absolute genius and his love for music and musicians is inspirational,” explains Michael. Although he is quick with a joke, Michael also has a very deep side. The tattooed cross on the inside of his right forearm reminds him to whom he belongs. “I belong to God to whom I owe everything I am.” - Arisja Misselhorn More Michael facts Work: OTB construction - Sasol Secunda Born and bred: Standerton Matriculated from: Ermelo College Siblings: A younger brother Roehan Girlfriend’s name: Chavonne Oliver Music instruments: the only chords I can play are vocal chords Hobbies: I am a PC Gamer essentially – and I love building things.

I will not go into details but will mention some ailments and how far infrared therapy will come to its rescue. RELIEVING STIFF SHOULDER AND BACKACHE Far infrared ray is not only heat inducing light but also an electro magnetic wave. Its penetration capability enables it to reach deep under the skin to dilate blood vessels and to stimulate blood circulation. When the blood flow in muscles increases, the stiffness and pain may lessen accordingly. RELIEVING FATIGUE FROM EXERCISE & RESTORING FUNCTIONS OF JOINTS Far infrared ray therapy is a good therapy for sport related conditions because it effectively treats many such conditions and can control the associate pain. It is exceptionally effective in removing wastes like lactic acid, improving the metabolism and improving the blood circulation. IMPROVING BLOOD CIRCULATION. Many of us jog or exercise to keep ourselves fit. We do not exercise merely to move our feet or body or to keep our body soft. Rather circulates well, tissues will receive the energy in the form of nutrients and oxygen to help the metabolic activities they need and so will the heart stay healthy. Because of its physical characteristics, far infrared ray can heat the surface of the skin. For this reason, far infrared ray benefits both the bones and the internal organs. Since the radiation effect of far infrared ray cannot be felt, it is important that no excessive radiation is used. LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE. When blood pressure is above the normal level it is called hypertension. Blood pressure is determined by the volume of blood pumped by the heart and the resistance from peripheral blood vessels. Blood pressure changes constantly Excitement and mental stress cause blood pressure to rise temporarily. Hypertension sufferers must control their intake of salt and pay attention to constipation. They also need to have sufficient sleep and exercise moderately. Of particular significance for the prevention and treatment of hypertension is mental stability. Far infrared therapy may be used for hypertension because it dilate blood vessels and lowers the blood pressure by 10-15mm Hg HELPING WEIGHT CONTROL Obesity refers to the increased mass of fatty subcutaneous and other tissues. Being obese or overweight can cause and is associated with many serious diseases. Compared to healthy people, those who are overweight are more likely to die of infections and inflammation in the heart, arteries and kidneys. The far infrared treatment helps the body to get rid of surplus fat via an increase in metabolic activity and some loss through the sebaceous glands. This will come about by you sweating while on the therapy. Sweating out 200 – 400ml of water is equivalent to the loss of 400-600 grams of weight. Dr Mathilda Roux 082 898 7732 017 634 7735 Laas week het ons gesels oor die lewensstadia 12-18 jaar. Nou bespreek ek die lewensfase van INTIMITEIT TEENOOR ISOLASIE 18- 25 jaar. Hierdie fase is waar jou kind skool verlaat en uit die huis begin beweeg. Verhoudings raak nou meer ernstig en belangrik. Die hormone raak demone na middernag wanneer die jong volwassene onseker is oor hulle identiteit. Dikwels word seks met liefde en intimiteit verwar. Intimiteit gaan ook om werklik in te fokus op ander se behoeftes. Emosioneel, Fisies en Geestelik. Gedurende dié fase ontdek hulle gewoonlik hulle doel. Wat hulle graag wil doen beroepsgewys. Hulle is meer realisties ten opsigte van toereikendheid, eie standaarde en verwagtinge. Hulle erken hulle eie waarde en eise. Hulle het ook meer empatie en deernis met ander. Die teenoorgestelde kan ontwikkel deur glad geen geduld of deernis met ander se tekortkominge te hê nie. Dit lei dan tot isolasie. Gedurende hierdie fase word die persoon bewus van leemtes in hulle lewe. Die tekortkominge ontstaan weens onvoltooide lewensfases. Die “Childhood Wounding” – verwonding in die kinderjare speel hier ʼn rol en dikwels raak die verwondings ʼn teer punt. Dit is belangrik dat die jong volwassene hieraan aandag gee om te verseker dat hulle op die regte roete kom om hulle doel en drome te bereik. Hier begin wantroue, skaamte en twyfel en skuldgevoelens ʼn ernstige wending aanneem, veral as dit nie bemeester is in die vroeëre lewensfases nie. Jong volwassene, sou jy voel jy hak vas en is in ʼn groef. Dis nooit te laat. Soek hulp jong. Kom en kry ʼn deurbraak in jou lewe- die hele toekoms lê nog voor. Dit is soos ʼn dubbelverdieping huis en die trappe is nie heeltemal voltooi nie, daar is ʼn moontlikheid dat jy kan mistrap en vêr val. Kom oor die “ self ”-fase. Soms kan jy, jouself nie help nie en het jy ʼn buitestander nodig om net perspektief in jou lewe te gee. Volgende keer gesels ons oor die sewende Lewensfase. Sarah-Jane Siebrits (Geregistreerde Privaat Maatskaplike Werker) by 084 500 6519 (Mediese fonds/ Kontant) Vleisetende Hoender deur Nic Samwell Kriel-fotograwe vereer Lede van Kriel-fotoklub het op Woensdag, 22 Julie, byeengekom en hul beste foto’s ingeskryf.

Daar is reeds so baie skaaprasse daar buite om van te kies, maar hoekom die aanhoudende groei van die Meatmaster ras die afgelope 20 jaar? Die Meatmaster is ’n unieke ras wat die die Europeuse skaaprasse kombineer met die goeie eienskappe van die inheemse skaaprasse en so ’n spesifieke gaping binne die mark vul waar daar geen kompetisie is nie. Dié ras beskik oor ’n kombinasie van eienskappe wat nie in ander rasse gevind word nie. Hulle is geteel om op die veld te oorleef sonder byvoeding. Hierdie eienskappe maak dit ’n maklike, ekonomiese ras om mee te boer. Die Meatmaster se aanpasbaarheid VLAKSPRUIT PLAASVLEIS Maalvleis, Wors & Kookvleis R50 p/kg Heel Skaap R50 p/kg Heel Lam R65 p/kg Agter & Voor 1/4 (Verwerk & vacuum packed) R50 p/kg Ontbeende Hoenderflattie R80 per flattie Hamburger Patties R65 p/kg Biltong & Droëwors R150 p/kg BESTEL BY: 083 656 8106 / 079 499 8880 regoor Suid-Afrika is merkwaardig. Van die tropiese dele soos Malelane in Mpumalanga, die nat dele soos Natal, tot in die droë Karoo, word hulle mee geteel. Dié skape presteer ooral onder alle omstandighede. Die volgende eienskappe, wat die Meatmaster anders en nuut maak teenoor ander skaaprasse is die feit dat hulle nie inkomste hoër probeer stoot nie, maar inset koste so lae as mootlik te probeer hou. Die Meatmaster promofeer ook die seleksie vir gehardheid en aanpasbaarheid. Die belangrikste is om skape minimaal te dip, doseer en te ent teen parasiete en siektes. Waar ander skape gedip en doseer moet word volgens ’n program, hoef mens die Meatmaster, afhangend van hoe hoog die reënval is, merkwaardig minder te behandel. In die droeër dele van die land sal slegs enkele diere wat tekens van parasiete (inwendig en uitwendig) toon behandel word, gemerk word en weggelei word met die volgende klomp skaap wat markgereed is. Ander eienskappe wat kostes laag hou is geen sterte word afgesny nie, dié skape het ’n sterk poenskop faktor, wol word natuurlik afgegooi en baie klem is op vol pigmentasie geplaas. Die Meatmaster het uitstekende trop instink vir maklike bestuur en kontrole. Meatmasters is uiters vrugbaar en uitstekend met jong ooitjies wat in groot dele van die land op 12 maande lam. Die moederseienskappe is baie goed en dit maak dat hulle hulle lammers, waarvan baie tweelinge is, sonder enige probleme grootmaak. Die ramme is viriel met uitstekende dekvermoë. Lammers groei goed en kan na speen op 4 to 6 maande bemark word. Kleur speel glad nie ’n rol nie, enige kleur is toelaatbaar. Die Meatmaster Telersgenootskap groei elke jaar en die belangstelling in die ras is ongelooflik, veral in die Noordelike dele van Suid Afrika. Die aanvraag is groot omdat die Meatmaster ’n winsgewende skaap is om mee te boer onder moeilike ekonomiese en weersomstandighede. Die Meatmaster skaap is definitief ‘Geld uit die Veld’ en ’n plesier om mee te boer! Daar word deur die jaar veilings gehou regoor die land. Die nasionale veiling word jaarliks op Bloemfontein gehou in Augustus en daar is jaarliks ’n veiling in Pretoria by die skougronde in Augustus. Vir meer inligting oor die Meatmaster skakel die hoofkantoor by 051 4100900/55 of stuur ’n e-pos na sonja@ studbook.co.za. Besoek gerus die webtuiste by www. meatmaster.co.za.

Hubbard en Snyman was seker die belangrikste en bekendste veilingafslaers in die area. Hul vendusiekrale naby die stasie was gerieflik vir op- en aflaai van vee en ander items. Vandag bestaan die fasiliteite nie meer nie. Verskeie firmas het gekom en gegaan maar die regte veilings het gelukkig nog nie verdwyn nie. Wil u graag weer ‘n veiling beleef? Moenie die Jim van Tonderskool veiling in samewerking met die firma BKB op 4 Augustus 2015 op die skoolterrein misloop nie. ‘n Wye spektrum goedere gaan aangebied word – beleef weer die veilingatmosfeer, kom koop of verkoop en geniet dit. Daar sal ook genoeg te ete wees om aan te smul. Kom ondersteun die skool in die jaarlikse fondsinsamelingsveldtog. Vir meer inligting skakel mnr. Hardus Pretorius by 0836542443 of mnr.

Die kompetisie het die Vrydag in ysige koue en reën begin en die trekkers het diep gedelf om in die nat en modderige omstandighede vas te skop en deur te druk. Die toeskouers het dan ook soos wat kan verwag word, met kwinkslae die spanne aangemoedig. “ Kom nou, vasskop, sak daai lyf en druk deurrr…., die reentjie hou julle net koel, komaan, nog net so drie tree, vasbyt, manne. Drrruuuuuk deurrrr…..” het elke span wat deelgeneem het die hakke harder laat ingekap, harder gedruk en getrek sodat jy net sien water en modder spat. Toutrek gaan alles oor spanwerk en uithouvermoë en hoe ’n span hul krag en uithouvermoë saamspan wanneer hulle trek. Wanneer jy begin deelneem, is jou uithouvermoë op die tou omtrent 15 sekondes. Dit vat so drie tot vyf jaar vir iemand se arms om regtig sterk en toufiks te raak. Die meeste klubs oefen twee keer per week op die tou, maar dan moet jy ook ten minste twee keer per week op jou eie in die gimnasium oefen en gaan draf. Mense dink dat toutrek slegs vir mense is wat groot gebou is, maar hoe ligter jy is, hoe beter trek jy eintlik. Die spanne word saamgestel uit agt persone wat saam die totale gewig van die span opmaak en hoe nader die persone aan die gemiddelde gewig van die totale gewig deel deur agt weeg, hoe beter gebalanseerd is die span. Toutrek is ook nie net vir mans nie. Op die stadium is Suid Afrika se damesspan algeheel derde in die wereld en al hoe meer dames begin aan die sport deelneem. Toutrek was die eerste spansport waarin Suid Afrika aan die Olimpiese Spele deelgeneem het en dit tydens Suid Afrika se eerste deelname aan die Olimpiese Spele in St Louis in 1904. Suid Afrika het vyfde geindig. Mpumalanga Toutrek wil ook graag al hulle borge bedank vir hulle ondersteuning wat dit vir die spanne moonlik gemaak het om te gaan deelneem. Hulle oefen op Dinsdag en Donderdag aande van 18:00 tot 19:00 by die Sasolklub. Belangstellendes word genooi om te kom kyk en saam te oefen, of om Thys Duraan te skakel by 082 462 8060. - Aart Reedijk. Rugbyklub sluit jaar af Hoewel Sasol-rugbyklub nie die naweek die halfeindronde van die Mpumalanga-liga kon deurhaak nie, het dié 15-tal steeds die seisoen met trots afgesluit. Op ‘n koel Nelspruit was dit net nie Sasol se dag nie, en het hulle 15-34 teen Nelspruit verloor. Die puntemakers vir Sasol was Deon Pruis met een verdoeling, Theuns Krüger met ‘n drie en ‘n verrassende skepdoel, en Hanno van Staden met een drie. SPUR MAN van die WEDSTRYD was Johann de Bruin en Theuns Krüger. Sasol het Nelspruit en Witrivier sterkte toegewens vir die eindstryd eerskomende naweek. Met harde werk goeie dissepline op en van die veld, is die Bestuur van Sasol baie trots op hul spanne. Al twee spanne het 2de geëindig op die Hoëveld Super Liga met Ferro’s 1 op die top van die Log met 28 gevolg deur Sasol Hydra-Arc 1 met 25 punte. Sasol het hierdie seisoen ‘n total van 123 punte in wedstryde aangeteken en Ferros het 96 punte vermag. Sasol het ook 31 drieë gedruk teenoor Ferros se 22. Sasol sal nou eers bietjie ‘n ruskansie vat vir al die beserings om te herstel en dan begin hulle met die voorbereiding vir die 7’s seisoen wat voorlê.
