SPCA: 017 632 2654 July 1, 2016 Ridge Times News 3 Leticia Nel sterf na tweede hartoorplanting San-Marié Cronjé BETHAL - Me. Leticia Nel (28) wat twee hartoorplantings in vier weke ondergaan het, is op 24 Junie omstreeks 10.20nm dood. Haar toestand was die laaste paar dae onveranderd en die oorsaak vir haar dood is nog nie bekend nie. Sy het op 26 Mei die goeie tyding gekry dat ’n nuwe hart beskikbaar was. Omdat daar komplikasies met die eerste hartoorplanting was, is inwoners van Ermelo, Bethal, Morgenzon en Secunda gevra om bloed te skenk. Die nuwe hart wou nie werk nie en me. Nel is met lewensondersteunende toerusting aan die lewe gehou, terwyl daar dringend na nog ’n hart gesoek is. Sy het op 4 Junie weer ’n hartoorplanting ondergaan. Dié keer was die oorplanting suksesvol en die hart het vanself begin klop. Hoewel dit ’n hoë risiko oorplanting was, het me. Nel tekens van vordering en verbetering getoon. Sy is later met geelsug gediagnoseer en dokters het met behandeling begin. Daar was daagliks vordering totdat sy later stabiel gebly het. Die dans wat gereël is om geld in te samel om die hospitaalkoste te help betaal, is ook op 24 Junie gehou. Me. Nel se familie beoog om haar begrafnis op 2 Julie te hou. Sy het die eerste keer in November agtergekom dat daar fout was omdat haar maag bly swel het en sy vinnig moeg geword het. Me. Nel het aan ’n dokter verduidelik dat terwyl sy en haar man inkopies gedoen het, haar hart baie vinnig begin klop het en dit gevoel het of sy nie asem kon kry nie. Die dokter het haar dadelik vir ’n elektrokardiogram (EKG) gestuur omdat Me. Leticia Nel saam met haar twee kinders LJ en Marie ’n paar dae voor haar eerste hartoorplanting. Me. Leticia en mnr. Jurgens Nel. Me. Leticia Nel is saam met haar twee kinders, LJ en Marie. hulle voorheen gedink het dat dit dalk haar blindederm kon wees wat probleme veroorsaak het. Die skokkende nuus was egter dat sy hartversaking gehad het. Haar hart was ook vergroot en kon slegs 27 persent funksioneer. Weke voor die eerste hartoorplanting, was haar maag opgeswel weens al die water wat haar liggaam teruggehou het. DINO MILANO V-NECK JERSEY Haar man, mnr. Jurgens Nel, het geskryf: “Ons bed is groot, soos my verlange, koud, soos die ys in my siel, leeg soos my lewe sonder jou. “Nooit weer sal ek jou vashou nie, nooit weer ’n nag kus gee. “Niemand wat sê ‘lief jou’, ’sweet dreams’ of ‘draai om ek jou hou vas’ nie. “In die stilte van ons kamer is die stilte oorverdowend. “My hartklop dreun in my ore. “My gesnik skud my gebeendere, my trane maak my blind. “Ek probeer verstaan. “Ek soek na die antwoorde... “Ek mis jou my Lief, my hart en siel lê gebroke in ontelbare stukkies.” In haar eerste onderhoud met die Ridge Times het me. Nel bekommerd vertel dat sy nie wou hê haar kinders moet sonder ’n ma grootword nie. Haar dogter kry snags nagmerries en skree in haar slaap: “Nee mamma, waarheen gaan jy!” “Dit maak my die hartseerste om te sien hoe my kinders daaronder ly en my man heeltyd sterk moet bly,” het me. Nel vertel. Mnr. Nel se laaste boodskap op Facebook lees: “12 jaar, vier maande en vyf dae, 4 509 dae, 644 weke en een dag, 108 216 ure, 6 492 960 minute, 3 89 577 600 sekondes, ‘give or take a few hours’, só lank was jy deel van my lewe. “Elke minuut van elke uur van elke dag het jy my só baie liefde so baie herinneringe gegee. “Ek mis jou so baie, die kinders mis jou so baie, jou familie mis jou so baie. “Jy mag in vlees nie meer met ons wees nie, maar in ons bly jy steeds. “Jy is nooit werklik weg nie. “Jy het ons aangeraak en orals is jou merk op die aarde. “Ons is ryker deur jou te kon ken. “Skatryk deur jou liefde, lief jou oneindig baie.” Die gesin sal steeds die ondersteuning van die gemeenskap nodig hê, veral met die reëlings vir die begrafnis.

Sifiso Mathebula Percy the piglet is still very small, but will one day grow to weigh almost 300kg. The black areas on his face and body are where he will have permanent damage from frostbite. Percy the pig set to recover Willemien Aukema EVANDER - The Highveld Ridge SPCA rescued an undersized 25-day-old piglet on 20 June that sustained severe frostbite in his face and on his tail and feet. The piglet, affectionately named Percy, was seized from an informal rural farm between Evander and Standerton. According to Senior Insp Jenneth Geel, he was in a pen with a nursing sow and many other larger piglets, but it is uncertain whether he was part of that specific litter. “He was attempting to follow the sow, but she had no interest in him. “He was struggling and although he is already nearly a month old, he is very small for his age and clearly malnourished.” Caring for a pig in the winter is difficult, because they need to be kept warm and dry, but must still be able to roam around. “These animals share many traits with human beings. “Not only are they smart and sensitive, but they also have skins and circulatory systems very similar to our own. “Like human children, a young pig cannot regulate its body temperature and needs to be kept warm in this freezing weather.” Ms Geel and a volunteer were doing proactive work in the area when she was alerted to the piglet’s plight. “I saw him with the other animals in the sty and the fist thing that drew my attention, was his curled ears. Shade net Carports “When I went closer, I saw that his ears were curled unnaturally and that he had black scabs on his face and tail. “Because of the freezing weather and the pigsty he was living in had very little shelter from the wind, I took him into our care. “We asked for Cerelac porridge and Lactogen milk on Facebook to help Percy gain some weight, because he was starving. “He has been checked by a veterinarian and we treat his frostbite wounds with aqueous cream and keep him inside and warm at all times. “Pigs should not be left to fend for themselves in the cold. “We seized Percy because of his injuries, but educated the owner about how he should upgrade his facilities to keep this from happening again. “The Highveld Ridge SPCA will continue to do follow-up visits in the area to make sure the other animals are looked after.” Piglets are weaned when they are 28 days old, but need to be watched carefully until they are at least 10 weeks old.” Percy suffered permanent damage to his ears, tail and lips due to the frostbite. Ms Geel asked people to be aware of the dangers that the freezing weather poses to animals and urged them to take responsibility of their animals’ well-being. “Bring them inside or make sure that they have warm, wind and waterproof shelter. “It is straightforward. If you get cold, they get cold as well.” SKYLIGHTS Also Specialize in: • General maintenance • Building alterations • Painting • Tiling • Fencing & steelwork For free quotation phone: Tertius: 082 800 9613 tims skylights Head Office: 017 638 1398 Ebrahim Daya St, Trichardt Fax: 086 550 1882 E-mail: [email protected] July 1, 2016 Ridge Times 5 6 News Ridge Times July 1, 2016 ‘Ons is arm, maar ons is nie damduikers nie’ Corné Verwey SECUNDA - Mnr. Henry en me. Jacky Fourie woon in die Trichardtfonteindamontspanningsoord se woonwapark. Nog vyf volwassenes, twee honde en twee papegaaie bly saam met hulle. Dit is stil in die park. Die honde het lui in die winterson gelê en êrens het kinders krieket gespeel. Mnr. Fourie was nie tuis nie, want hy het gou ’n Whatsapp na sy seun laat stuur by die kiosk. Sy seun was in ’n ongeluk en is in ’n ernstige toestand in ’n Pretoria-hospitaal. Hy het by van familielede gehoor dat sy seun sy been verloor het, maar hy kan nie vir hom gaan kuier nie. Me. Fourie het verskoning gevra vir die klein plekkie. Dit was pynlik netjies en niks was uit sy plek nie. Dié mense is trots op wat hulle het. Die groentetuin is skoon en die groente groei ruig. “Dit is al hoe ons iets anders te ete kry as stampmielies en soja,” het me. Fourie gesê. Die armoede in die kamp is groot. “Ons huil nie. “Ons is dankbaar. “Ek ken ryk, ek ken arm, maar ek ruil my lewe nou vir niks. “Dié is ’n lekker kamp en ons is gelukkig. “As dit net nie vir die siektes was nie, was ons nog fiks.” Mnr. Fourie het ses jaar gelede eers ’n beroerte gehad en is toe met kanker van die dikderm, blaas en prostaat gediagnoseer. Hy dra ’n stomasakkie, maar dit is nie altyd bekostigbaar nie, dan draai sy vrou ’n winkelsakkie om. Mnr. Fourie se bromponie stop by die hek en me. Fourie het haastig opgestaan om die hek vir hom oop te maak. ’n Aangename middeljarige man het kom groet. Daar is trots in sy handdruk en hy kyk jou reguit in die oë.

Die Sharing Daisies het hom geskakel en gesê dat hulle sal help om vir hom die regte sakkies te kry. Hy hoop egter dat iemand dit vir hom sal kan aflewer. Die een hondjie, Lilo, is ’n miniatuur Doberman- en Chihuahua-kruising. Sy is al 18 jaar oud en haar agterlyf is verlam. Me. Fourie het gesê sy weet Lilo se tyd raak min, maar sy soos haar kind. Sy kan haar nie laat uitsit nie. Me. Fourie versorg haar soos sy al die ander in haar plek versorg. “Ek is ’n trotse mens. “Mense noem ons damduikers en dit maak baie seer. “Ons het dalk nie veel nie, maar ons het ’n pragtige uitsig en ons is lief vir God. “Kerke deel gereeld kospakkies uit, maar jy moet aan hul gemeente behoort om een te ontvang. “Ons lei ’n goeie lewe. “Stampmielies en soja stil darem die ergste honger. “Soms bring iemand vir ons vars brood en dan hou ons partytjie. “Koffie is ’n luukse wat ons nie kan bekostig nie.” Die Ridge Times groet en belowe om weer te gaan kuier.

SECUNDA - Local motorcycle clubs took hands on 25 June and organised a fundraising for Logan Dyssel at Lake Umuzi. He was born with a congenital heart defect. As a result he had open heart surgery when he was eight months old and suffered two strokes before he was two years old. He is now deaf and can not walk or see properly. Logan’s family wants to raise funds to have Logan undergo a cochlear implant that will enable him to hear. Country singers Charlie Nash and Liza Storm, performed at the fundraising event for little Logan on 25 June. The crowd loved them and no one was sitting when Charlie sang “Hillbilly Rock”. “Everybody did so much to help, but we still do not have enough money” The day was eventful with Logan clearly the star. Artists such as Charlie Nash, Liza Storm and Ronaldo, performed. Elsa from Frozen and Rapunzel were there and did face painting. Not nearly enough money was however raised for Logan’s operation. Ms Georgina Solomon, Logan’s grandmother, said: “Everybody did so much to help, but we still do not have enough money. “I am selling keyholders in the form of a motorcycle with Logan’s name engraved on it. “I am not putting a price on it, so anybody who wants to contribute can buy one of the holders. “Any donation is welcome.” One cochlear implant costs R275 000. If you want to contribute or buy one of the special keyholders, you can contact Pippa at 073 689 8896.

July 1, 2016 Ridge Times 9 10 News Ridge Times July 1, 2016 Little Paws Big Hearts reaches out to cats and dogs Corné Verwey SECUNDA - Little Paws Big Hearts did an outreach on 18 June in Holfontein during which they handed out more than 100 litres of soup. Students from as far as Stellenbosch University who helped, said: “It is the middle of exams, but taking a break from studying has never been this rewarding.” Mr Louis Kempen, founder of Little Paws Big Hearts, said: “It is incredible to work with this excellent team and we are grateful.” Their primary focus is education and to enrich communities. Relationship building plays a crucial part, therefore not only did the dogs and cats get treated on the day, but also the children. They got entertained to a special Youth Day party. Children and the elderly received warm soup, oranges, popcorn and cake. Mr Kempen said: “We had fun, but the regular activities also needed to continue.” The dogs and cats were dewormed and were treated for fleas and ticks. It is too cold to dip animals now. “We received donations of material from which we made small blankets for the animals. “It is freezing at night and we desperately need more supplies to ensure every animal that needs to sleep outside, gets a warm blanket.” “It is with grateful hearts that we thank the sponsors and volunteers who made Saturday a special outreach.” The volunteers thanked Mr and Ms Sonja Kempen for their dedication to and passion and love of the organisation. “Not only are you the founding members, but you are truly the glue of this organisation. “You are the fuel for the fire and your passion for making a difference is contagious.” Mr Kempen said: “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. “After an outreach like Saturday’s, we are motivated and reminded that the work we do honestly makes a difference, even if it is just one dog or cat at a time.” They handed out 100 litres of soup to more than 150 children and 40 senior citizens.

July 1, 2016 Ridge Times Business 11 Local CEO will join SleepOut Willemien Aukema Govan Mbeki Municipal offices in Secunda. Council reaches payment agreement Sifiso Mathebula HIGHVELD - The Govan Mbeki Municipality has reached and signed a payment agreement with Eskom’s management. This came after Council has negotiated about a payment plan after the power utility threatened to cut electricity in February. The agreement was effective from 9 June. Council said R189 million, including VAT and accumulated interest compounded monthly from August 2003 until 8 June is owed to Eskom. The first payment towards the agreement in exclusion of the current accounts, will be paid in July with the last payment in December 2017 according to the payment plan. Interest will be suppressed on the capital amount of R189 million. Mr Bheki Kubheka, head of Communication and Marketing, said the municipality was pleased to entered into this agreement with Eskom. “As much as an agreement had been reached with Eskom, it cannot be overemphasised that the successful honouring of this agreement highly depends on shared responsibilities between the consumers and the municipality. “The consumers must refrain from stealing electricity and settle all their service charges with the municipality in time and in full while those who have been complying and paying their service in time, continue to do so. “This will allow us to honour the agreement with Eskom, while collecting all its revenue in the debt book and possibly settle the debt before its lapsing timeline.” SECUNDA - Prommac (Pty) Ltd CEO, Mr Jason English, will once again be taking part in The Sun International CEO SleepOut. The CEO SleepOut takes place on the iconic Nelson Mandela Bridge in the heart of Johannesburg on 28 July. The bridge was opened by Mr Nelson 13 years ago and aside from its multi-coloured, towering beauty, the bridge holds important significance as it represents Madiba’s dream to unite South Africans, to link people together through a common goal of building a better South Africa, for everyone. This landmark is the perfect place on which to hold the CEO SleepOut, because it does not only address the issue of unity in a national and global sense, but also delivers a strong message about the power of education to bridge the gap between the destitute and the economically free. This year, as current and future business leaders sleep out on the Nelson Mandela Bridge, they will be coming together to gain a deeper, more meaningful compassion for the homeless and to engage in discussions about how businesses can be used for positive social change. All funds raised will be put towards eradicating homelessness, by supporting a vital stepping-stone on the path to economic freedom for all. It is not about giving away wealth, but about using your own abilities to build a successful South Africa from the bottom up. By donating, people get to play a meaningful role in the betterment of their country. Each of the CEOs and their nominees who participate in the CEO SleepOut, will represent the CEO’s company. The CEO will nominate an exceptional staff member from their organisation, an outstanding student, and an inspirational matric pupil – all with strong leadership qualities – to join them on the bridge for the night. These four people in each group will be the #4Leaders4Change. For the #4Leaders4Change to participate in The SleepOut, they must commit to pledging R160 000 which will be raised in the spirit of Paying It Forward. The CEOs will pass on their R100 000 to their staff member, who will commit to helping the student raise R50 000. The student will then commit to help the matric pupil raise R10 000. The R160 000 will be awarded to the appointed beneficiary partners that focus on education. Mr Jason English (CEO of Prommac (Pty) Ltd) will be participating in the CEO SleepOut on 28 July.

Graceland has a new executive chef Willemien Aukema Mr Paul Croxon has been appointed as the new general manager at United Motors Secunda. Paul understands customer satisfaction Willemien Aukema SECUNDA - Mr Paul Croxons is the fourth generation Croxons to be involved in the motor industry in South Africa and brings years of experience to United Motors where he has been appointed the new general manager. “My great-grandfather opened one of the first dealerships in Barberton.” Mr Croxon had the opportunity to work in Germany. “I worked for a year as a trainee engineer at the Mercedes Benz plant in Stuttgard. “Back then you had to complete a year of practical work before you could study engineering. “You were taught to weld, to assemble and to understand metal fatigue, to allow you to make informed decisions later in your career when you are responsible for designing the vehicles.” Upon his return to South Africa, he entered the motor industry in a sales capacity and has not looked back. Mr Croxon has fulfilled many roles, working his way up from trainee sales manager to sales manager, franchise manager and dealer principal, and with more than 30 years of industry experience. He knows what makes a dealership successful. “I foresee the following to be my biggest challenges in our local market. “Firstly, I will ensure that the service department is the best service department in the country. “I want customers from Secunda to service their vehicles at United Motors. “Secondly, I will ensure that our trained deliver the best possible service and thirdly all customers are welcome to appraoch me.” Mr Croxon wants United Motors Secunda to be number one on the customer service index. “I believe in honesty and consistency. “The most important lesson I have learnt throughout my years in this industry, is that you should always have the best interest of the customer at heart. Contact Mr Croxon at 017 631 7600. HIGHVELD - With more than 13 years of both local and international culinary experience, Mr Johan van Zyl, the newly appointed Executive Chef at the Graceland Hotel, Casino and Country Club, promises to offer flavoursome and quality in every bite. “I love working with bold, bulky flavours. “Anybody can throw something together and call it a stew, but bringing out the subtle flavours of the produce and then enhancing these flavours to create something delicious, is a skill.” Mr Van Zyl has worked at various hotel and restaurant kitchens countrywide, as well as in the United Kingdom. He decided to build upon his experience in 2006 and completed his diploma at the Chantecler Hotel School of Food and Wine in Durban. After completing this course, he worked at the Chantecler Hotel before moving to the Hotel Edwardian in Port Edward. Mr Van Zyl was the sous chef at the Tropicana Hotel whereafter he left for the United Kingdom. “I have always wanted to work overseas to gain more experience.” What stood out about his time abroad, was the quality of produce and the various levels of staff in the kitchens. “This teaches you to work clean, effective and efficient. “You learn to plan properly and to manage your ingredients. “There is no chance to do it a second time, you have to do it right the first time.” Mr Van Zyl is particularly excited about the challenges of dealing with the whole food and beverage division of Graceland. “I believe in consistency and using the best possible produce to create wholesome and flavoursome food. “We source our ingredients locally as far as possible. ” IF YOUR PROBLEM IS ALCOHOL… Mr Johan van Zyl is the new executive chef at Graceland Hotel, Casino and Country Club and believes in making the best possible food with the best possible produce. Mr Van Zyl comes from a family of chefs. “My sister is an executive chef for a hotel and casino complex and it is through her that I began working as a trainee chef. “My mother decided to formalise her immense cooking skills by also completing her diploma at the Chantecler Hotel School of Food and Wine.” When he is at home, Mr Van Zyl enjoys cooking for his family and friends. “I go overboard and invite everyone. “I sometimes attempt to remake my mother’s home cooking, but am never as successful as her. “My sister and I were spoiled by the amazing food my mom made, so we were exposed to amazing food from a very early age.” When it comes to celebrity chefs, Mr Van Zyl finds inspiration from Marco Pierre White. He is optimistic about the team that he will work with at Graceland and believes they can work together to deliver on the promise of consistently flavoursome meals that are beautifully presented. “I promise that we will consistently have the best produce, best quality, best taste and best presentation.” …WE HAVE A SOLUTION!

The finals were between Kiriyatswane Secondary School and Masizakhe Secondary School. Lindo Sikhonde scored the first goal for Masizakhe in the first 10 minutes of the match. Kiriyatswane’s striker, Lerato (Messi) Ntamane, equalized the score. Messi lost many goal-scoring chances in the first half. Kiriyatswane came back in full force in the second half and Morris (Mokoko) Vilakazi scored two goals. Sanele (Innocent) Simelane scored the second goal for Masizakhe. The final score was 3-2 in favour of Kiriyatswane. The Gert Sibande District representative, Mr Nkosi, said the match was played under protest, because Kiriyatswane used a player who had a red card. He said the matter will be discussed with the regional executive committee and if the team is found guilty, Kiriyatswane will have to forfeit their win and Masizakhe will emerge as the winners. The winning team will represent the district at the provincial play offs at eMbalenhle Sasol Club on Saturday, 23 July.

Hy is in 2015 en 2016 na die Massey Universiteit in Auckland, Nieu-Seeland, waar hy kursusse voltooi het by hul Sport- en Rugby-instituut. bestes in die wêreld geleer hoe om af te rig en spelers se vaardighede te verbeter. “Ek het geleer hoe om wedstryde te analiseer en hoe om talent te kweek. “Ek het ook geleer dat ek nog baie het om te leer.” “Een van die belangrikste dinge wat ek geleer het, was om spasie aan te val eerder as om spasie te skep, om verdediging te gebruik as ’n aanvalstegniek en hoe om spelers te leer om ’n prentjie te sien om te help om ’n besluit te maak sodat hulle dan die besluit suksesvol kan uitvoer. ” Oor die stand van Suid-Afrikaanse rugby is hy optimisties. “Ons is nog nommer drie in die wêreld en ek sal graag wil sien wat in die toekoms gaan gebeur. “Ons sal meer aanvallende rugby moet begin speel, want ons manier van speel werk nie teen sekere spanne nie. “Die afrigter sal die regte taktiek en tegnieke teen elke span moet gebruik omdat elke land hul eie manier van speel het.” Sy ideale afrigterspos is om ’n voorryafrigter te wees. “Ek sal daarvan hou om net vories te coach want ek geniet dit om met die harde manne te werk.” Sunette Lausberg from the Sasol Ladies Hockey team defends the ball against an opponent.

They played in a tournament over the weekend where they had semi-final play 23 Drywer Gesoek Willemien Aukema SECUNDA - Mnr. Lukas Meiring het raad vir die Springbokke, maar vir nou is hy Secunda se trots. Hy was al twee keer in Nieu-Seeland om sy afrigtingstegniek te verbeter en sien uit na ’n blink toekoms as afrigter. Mnr. Meiring is uit en uit ’n plaaslike man. Hy was in Trichardt Christian School en Kruinpark Laerskool en later ook in Hoërskool Secunda. Een van sy gunsteling herinneringe aan sy hoërskoolloopbaan was toe hy as jong speler gekies is om in 2005 vir die Mpumalanga 0/19-span te speel en Mpumalanga-kleure verwerf het. “Daarna is ek na NWU Pukke waar ek BA MBW en sielkunde geswot het.” Mnr. Meiring het sy vrou, me. Benice Meiring, op universiteit ontmoet waar sy vir haar LLB studeer het. “Ons was saam op skool, maar ons het nie in dieselfde vriendekringe beweeg nie en het nie eintlik kontak met mekaar gehad nie. “One het deur my broer wat haar vriend was, in haar gr. 12-jaar saam begin kuier en toe sy universiteit toe is, het ons in haar eerste jaar begin uitgaan.” Hulle is al drie jaar getroud en het ’n babadogtertjie. Mnr. Meiring is tans ’n onderwyser en rugby-afrigter by Hoërskool Secunda. In sy huidige beroep leef hy sy passie vir alle aspekte van rugby uit en sy studies in biokinetika en sportwetenskap help hom om van ’n ander kant af na die afrigting van jong sportmanne te kyk. As afrigter is een van sy grootste suksesverhale dat hy al ’n span afgerig het wat na die Mpumalanga-eindronde deurgedring het. Mnr. Meiring is vir die eerste keer in 2014 oorsee om by die Massey Universiteit in Auckland, Nieu-Seeland, se Sport- en Rugby-instituut meer oor die tegniese kant van afrigting te leer. Hy was in Februarie weer daarheen om ’n verdere kursus te voltooi. “Ek het by die Sport outs and played against two teams from Middelburg and eMalahleni. Sasol won the first game against Middelburg 1 with a score of 2-0, but lost the second game against Witbank 1. They advanced to the finals against Witbank 1 on 18 June at the Hockey Farm. Jimmy (The Scratcher) passes between the Spain players. Roman Stars beats Kinross KINROSS - Roman Stars beat Kinross Spain 1-0 over the weekend. Their striker, Jimmy, scored the goal in the first half of the game. Spain lost many chances to score goals. Their striker, Ranger Kasanara, kept the fans in suspense every time he was passed the ball, but lacked the finishing touches. The midfielder of Kinross Spain, Thokozani (Jali) Hadebe, had the fans’ attention with his dribbling skills. The more energetic Roman Stars player Bongani Magazi, could not last on the field after he had injured his right leg and asked to be replaced. Spain also had many scoring attempts in the 10 minutes’ extra time, but Roman Stars’ defense was too tight. DO YOU NEED A CAR? Struggling to get finance?
