D i e T h e 18 September 2015 Uitgawe - Issue 51 Gratis - Free Hendrico is grateful Little Hendrico Ackerman’s family is overjoyed by the generous support received in their efforts to raise money for his cochlear implants. In front are Gary Glen (uncle) with his daughter Hay-Lee and son Preston and Hendrico and his father Hannes. At the back are Lelani Glen (aunt) and Wiekie Ackerman with Danielle. Read the Ackerman family’s open letter of thanks on page 3. inside • Mom sentenced • Cupcake Angels • Tee off with Bok 2 dieBulletin any nuisance. The municipality is however not accepting any hazardous or health care waste on any of the disposal sites,” he said. Kubheka said every person who enters the landfill must stop at the gate and declare what type of waste is intended to be disposed of and is recorded in the access control register. “People are not allowed to take pictures as they are contravening our bylaws as no one shall enter the site for any purpose other than the disposal of refuse (section 19 (3)),” Kubheka concluded. - Arisja Misselhorn Schools prohibit game After The Bulletin’s article last week regarding the Charlie Charlie game played at schools and the dangers thereof, many concerned teachers and parents contacted The Bulletin. In one case the game was even being played among children as young as those in the Grade R class. Some schools prohibited the game and had pastors or youth leaders speak to 18 September 2015 Mom sentenced Animal remains dumped A Secunda resident was appalled to find a trailer load of slaughtered animal remains on the Secunda dumping site last week Monday. The woman went to the dumping site to dispose of garden refuse when she saw the bulk of fat, bones and entrails. The resident photographed the waste and asked The Bulletin if the dumping of such waste is legal. According to Bheki Kubheka, Senior Manager in the office of the Govan Mbeki Municipal Manager and also acting Head of Communications and Marketing, the disposal of food waste, such as bones, originating from butcheries and such is classified as general waste and is permitted on municipal sites. “This type of waste is covered and disposed of safely in order to prevent pupils about this game regarding its possible dangers. “The children must realise what this game is really about and how serious the effects can be,” said one of the teachers at a local high school. Some people also made appointments with local Christian counsellors after learning that their children had played the game. - Jana Oosthuizen. It had cost Riah Motlalani (39) only R150 to abort her baby. This was apparently a discounted rate. Motlalani had found the abortionist’s contact details on a flyer that was being distributed in the Secunda CBD at the time. Motlalani was sentenced last Thursday in the Evander Regional Court to five years’ imprisonment on a charge of murder. Although her intention was to abort the baby boy in 2013, she was charged with murder as she had already been 39 weeks pregnant at the time of the botched abortion. According to the presentence report read in court by a social worker, Motlalani was in a relationship when she fell pregnant. When she informed her boyfriend of the pregnancy, he claimed that he was married and already had a family. He refused to offer any assistance of support for the child. Motlalani dialled the contact number in the advertisement and was told to pay R300 for an abortion. She was unable to raise so much money and so the abortionist settled for R150. She was given two pills. The baby boy was born alive at about 03:00 the next morning. She then placed him inside a plastic bag and travelled from her home in eMbalenhle to Secunda as soon as it was light. She then went to relatives in Secunda and from there to the Secunda rubbish dump where she dumped her baby. Someone at the rubbish dump discovered the baby inside the bag and contacted the police. Motlalani was arrested and remained in custody throughout the length of her trial. Regional Magistrate Charmaine la Marque sent Motlalani last Thursday to be incarcerated at Bethal Prison. - Jana Oosthuizen. She was trapped in an extreme physical and mentally abusive relationship, when she found out she was pregnant. She opted for an abortion as she felt she had no other way out, a 42-year old local woman confessed. She agreed to speak to The Bulletin on condition that she remains anonymous. No one in her family or among her friends knows about her abortion of more than a decade ago. “I am rather skilled at distancing myself from traumatic events. But yes, I do remember the exact date and now that I have hit menopause, I find myself often thinking about what could have been. I ponder on what my daughter would have looked like. I believe that at the time I had made the right decision, even though I believe abortion is the act of killing a baby. There was just no way that I could bring the child into a world ruled by her father.” After she managed to escape from this man’s clutches, she saw the abuse he bestowed upon his new girlfriend with whom he fathered two more children. He later managed to have the children legally removed from their mother’s custody. “I am relieved that this did not happen to me, but if I had fallen pregnant with someone else’s child, I would not have had the abortion. I am still unmarried and have no one for whom to care or love – perhaps I am being punished for what I had done so long ago?” She had the abortion done at Bethal Hospital. “It was a horrendous experience. I was forced to dump the foetus myself and did not receive any counselling afterwards.” She advises other women to reconsider having an abortion. “Do not let it become just an easy way out of an uncomfortable situation, but I cannot judge. I suppose the merits of every individual situation are different.” The scars remain 18 September 2015 theBulletin Hendrico in 7de hemel Dit het waarlik jare geneem om genoeg geld in te samel, maar uiteindelik het Hendrico Ackerman (7) van Secunda nou koglea-inplantings in albei ore. Die tweede aparaat is verlede Vrydag (11 September) in sy linkeroor geplant en sal binnekort aangeskakel word. Hendrico het ‘n jaar gelede vir die eerste keer klank gehoor ná ’n koglea-inplanting aan sy regteroor. Dié eerste aparaat is op 2 September 2014 by die Eduplex-sentrum vir gehoorgestremdes vir die eerste keer aangeskakel. Die klank was stelselmatig harder gestel namate hy daaraan gewoond geraak het. Hendrico wat tot onlangs toe nog ‘n leerling van Laerskool Goedehoop was, het die koglea-inplanting dringend benodig sodat hy in ’n gewone hoofstroomskool kan aanbly en met die werk kan volhou. Dit is baie belangrik vir gehoorgestremde kinders om voor die ouderdom van sewe ’n koglea-inplanting te ondergaan sodat hul klank, spraak en taal genoegsaam kan ontwikkel. Volgens sy ma, Wiekie, het Hendrico swaargekry om by te hou in die gewone skool en sal hy vir nou eers tuisonderig moet kry. “Hendrico het danksy die eerste inplanting reeds baie werk opgevang, maar daar is nog heelwat om in te haal voor hy weer hoofstroomonderig sal kan kry.” Hendrico se spraak het ná die eerste inplanting reeds met rasseskrede verbeter en is dié borrellende seuntjie se gebabbel nou baie makliker verstaanbaar. Hy ontvang steeds spraakterapie om hom daarmee te help. “Dit gaan goed met my,” vertel hy Dinsdagmiddag. “Maar my kop is nog seer.” Hendrico was byna twee jaar oud toe hy met bilaterale ernstige tot uitermatige 3 sensorineurale gehoorverlies gediagnoseer is. Hy het deur die jare geleer om lippe en gebare te lees en het oorfone gedra waarmee hy sowat 60% gehoor gehad het. Danksy die gemeenskap se oop harte en beursies is meer as R600 000 oor sowat drie jaar ge-in om die inplantings te betaal. Hieroor sê sy ouers, Hannes en Wiekie Ackerman, hulle is ontsaglik dankbaar. Hulle is nie lede van ’n mediesefonds nie. “Ons is verstom oor die ondersteuning wat ons gemeenskap, en selfs bekendes soos die sanger Simeon Hamman, aan ons bewys het,” vertel Wiekie. Hulle het ‘n opebrief geskryf om Hendrico Ackerman (7) het pas sy almal wat hulle bygestaan het te tweede koglea-inplanting gekry. bedank. - Arisja Misselhorn. Ackerman family appreciates help We want to begin this letter by saying thank you to everyone involved with Hendrico’s cochlear implant. It was a long and arduous journey, but every step was worth it. We met wonderful people, and existing friendships were forged much stronger. Hendrico went for his second cochlear implant on Friday 11 September. Although the journey for most is over, Hendrico’s journey is just starting as there is still a huge gap in speech and oral functionality that has to be caught up. It will go much quicker with the aid of the second implant. Thank you to everyone Dié poolhond is op Secunda gevind en is tans in die Hoëveldrif DBV se sorg.

I am 100% sure that if Hendrico understood all the issues that was involved, he would have had a lot to say on how thankful he is. All of you made it possible for him to have a better chance at life. And no words can begin to explain how truly grateful we are. To Hendrico’s uncle , Gary Glen: again I have to say that without your help and effort, none of this would have been possible. To our entire family and all our friends who helped and supported us and who are still supporting us in our time of need: a very heart felt Thank You. And we love you dearly! To Johan Rosslee and his team: a huge thank you for your generosity. A Big Thank You to Ruan, owner of Ocean Basket for his generous contributions, as well as Alishia van Deventer who works for Starburst Promotions and Simeon Hamman - thank you for the benefits that came from your Christmas hit Dis Kersfees. Thank you also to the staff at the Ear Institute of Pretoria who have become part of our family in this time. Your help was truly world class, as well as that of the staff at the Zuid Afrikaanse Hospital. Thank you to the members of Care Card who worked hard to help us with the fund raising and who also played a huge roll to aid us. The three ladies that worked especially hard were Leentjie van Tonder, Liesl Posthumus and Sonette van Rensburg. Thank you to the Secunda Round Table for hosting a golf day to raise so much money for Hendrico’s first implant. Thank you, Arisja Misselhorn (editor of The Bulletin) for helping us over the past three years to create so much awareness and letting the people see that we need help. And then the rest of the community: Thank you all for your support. This is an awesome town. If there is anyone that I have not mentioned, please forgive me. It is not out of arrogance or ignorance, but this is an emotional time and we have a huge amount of plans to make and things to think about. Thank you all. Hannes and Wiekie Ackerman. 4 dieBulletin 18 September 2015 Winner’s log Log Position Log Posisie one two three four five six seven eight nine ten Name Naam Annelene Isabel Naidoo Manda Schoeman Sharon Coetzer Magda Meyer Sandra Horiro Marius de Wet Serekha Ravjee Nathan Precent Lee-ann Fourie Sash Hansraj Points Punte 376 304 283 236 174 100 93 65 60 50 The Ostrich effect Necromancy is defined as “The supposed practice of communicating with the dead, especially in order to predict the future.” According to mythology, a consecrated athame must be placed in the centre of a circle with the circumference bordered in letters and numbers.

Let’s hide it, could be the first reaction. It is just a phase and will disappear in the long run. Oh well, it is the “buzz” and all their peers are playing. Nothing has happened so far and it is doubtful that it ever will. My children won’t play such games because they’re just too wonderful, wellbehaved and have a Christian upbringing. This was the predictable reaction from parents, teachers and principals when asked if they had any knowledge of these occult based practises in their homes and schools. Were these answers given to protect the child, the family and the school’s reputation? It is certainly easier to use the “Ostrich or the three monkeys” approach then to admit that this is reality. The perplexity, the potential— God’s own crucible was not for angels.” ― Johnny Worthen, Beatrysel Ontbyt oor die kole Enige maaltyd kan oor die kole gemaak word as jy regtig van braai hou.

The RC Secunda will function as an Open Distance Learning Centre for the North-West University (NWU). This means that it is now possible to register for a qualification in theology (B.Th.) while you continue with your current occupation. Docenda is a Latin word which expresses the importance of study. And this is precisely what this coarse intends. There are many devout Christians in South Africa who would like to proclaim the Word of God among the people yet lack sufficient knowledge nor have the means to acquire the necessary training. Docenda serves as an Open Learning Centre of the NWU, and can support students in completing a part-time distance B.Th. qualification. This has the following advantages: • You continue in your current occupation and receive an income while working towards a qualification in Theology. • You study in your own home instead of having to move to a campus. • It is cost-effective. If you are passionate about proclaiming the Word of God so as to make a difference in people’s lives, then contact Docenda and make your dream come true. You will need a Senior Certificate which complies with the minimum statutory matriculation requirements for admission to a Bachelor’s Degree and an APS score of 24 or higher as indicated by the NWU. The minimum study period is three years and the maximum six years. Deserving students can apply for bursaries from Docenda. The classes and evaluation of assignments are conducted by NWU staff at the Centre. Study material is available electronically and/or in hard copy. Examinations are conducted at the Centre. The examination papers are drawn up by the staff at the Potchefstroom Campus and they also evaluate the answers. This guarantees consistence in the outcomes and quality of training. You have to register before the end of September and can contact Rev Casper Breed at 082 654 1814 (casperbreed@ vodamail.co.za) for more information and Application Forms.

Die egpaar woon al vir sowat ’n jaar op Trichardt en hoop om tot hul dood deel te wees van Trichardt. “Ons bly lekker hier, hier is wonderlike mense.” Hul geheim vir ’n suksesvolle huwelik is liefde en respek vir God. “As ’n mens sondig, maak ons God seer en ons wil Hom nie seermaak nie,” het Grobler gesê. “Jesus se lewe was onbaatsugtig en lydsaam, ons probeer Sy voorbeeld volg. “Ons is gevoelig oor hoe God voel oor dinge en Hy het ons die Bybel gegee as riglyn.” Hy en sy vrou probeer om jaarliks die Bybel saam deur te lees en hulle het dit al verskeie kere deurgelees. Betina maak graag klere en het al die rokke in haar kas self gemaak. Corrie stel belang in fotografie en die egpaar stap graag.

South Africa participated in the international science exhibition organised by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) for the first time during the week of 3-7 August 2015, this is fitting since South Africa celebrated National Science Week in the very same week. The Super Science High School, Japan’s Super Science Fair, aims to encourage students’ aspirations and imbue them with a positive attitude towards Science, while helping them to develop their individuality and scholastic prowess. Four pupils from the Govan Mbeki Municipal area – Sphesihle Mavuso, Robinhood Takura, Zirk du Preez and Johan Venter – were selected to represent the country. Their research projects focused on power generation using organic waste. Robinhood Takura and Sphesihle Mavuso are grade 12 pupils from Kiriyatswane Secondary School in eMbalenhle enrolled in the Osizweni Project A programme. Their research topic was “Generating Electricity from Organic Waste Water”. These learners are currently obtaining distinctions in both Mathematics and Science, and there is an expectation that with the support given to them by the Osizweni Science Centre, they will maintain this performance during the 2015 Grade 12 final examinations. Izak‘Zirk’du Preez and Johan Venter’s presentation was titled ‘“Recycled Products Capture Waste Energy” they are Grade 9 pupils from Hoërskool Secunda. Sasol’s commitment to education steered the positive change to the communities around our operations by the establishment of Osizweni Education and Development Centre. The centre provides training and learning support in Mathematics and Science for educators and pupils across all ages There are numerous other initiatives Sasol embarks in to support education for instance, Science laboratories was recently donated to improve Mathematics and Science at under resourced schools in Mpumalanga classrooms, facilitation of matriculation revision, and developing mathematical and life skills through chess. The Osizweni Science Centre is grateful to the Japan Science and Technology Agency for covering the full costs of the four days stay in Japan for the learners and their leader, Dr Sello Rapule, Education and Learning Manager, from the centre. The delegation was treated to a tour of research and development facilities near Kyoto and returned to South Africa on Saturday, 08 August 2015. “These kinds of projects done by pupils give hope for the future of science research in our education system, and will benefit the country at large. Such talent has to be nurtured,” said Dr Sello Rapule, Osizweni Science Centre.
