STANDERTON - The DA of Stan-derton has lodged a complaint at the Provincial IEC after a person dressed in ANC attire drove people to and from a nearby farm to register at a voting point in Meyerville, a suburb of Stan-derton.

The vehicle was spotted at the vot-ing point with a driver and passengers wearing ANC colours. The people chanted “Viva ANC” before they en-tered the voting station. Members of the DA went to inspect their particulars after they gave up their addresses and registered. It was found that they were residing on a nearby farm which is not included in Ward 4, Meyerville. One person also recorded her address with only the street name with no number. Members of the DA then followed the vehicle and recorded its movement on video until the driver stopped next to the road where he dropped off the pas-sengers.

Councillor Louis van Rensburg of the DA says that it shows that the dis-honesty of President Zuma is boiling down to the roots of the ANC. The DA asked for the incident to be inves-tigated.

Van Rensburg said that they will make sure that the ANC does not use corrupt means to register people to vote for the ANC. The DA says that people supplied the IEC with false addresses and mislead the IEC. They thanked the IEC for their hard and loyal work. JD

Dishonest conduct

Voters that were brought in from a farm just outside Meyerville can be seen in the back of this vehicle. After investigations it was found that the people who registered are not included in Ward 4 and they were driven to the registration point by their cadres. Each voting point has its own ward in which voters must register and vote. Scan the QR code for a video showing the people taken back to their farm residences.

STANDERTON - Calmness is restored at Lekwa Local Municipality after last week was characterized by ugly events when the Municipal Manager, Linda Tshabalala, was forcibly removed from office by disgruntled SAMWU members on Monday, 4 April. On Wednesday, 6 April, another episode unfolded when a group of SAMWU workers who are reportedly pro-Tshabalala, went to his residence and ordered him to come back to work. The manager agreed and was escorted back to his office.

On Thursday morning, 7 April, SAMWU members gathered at the Town Hall for a special meeting. Many observers suspected a split within the union, but after long deliberations their differences were put aside and a resolution was taken by the collective membership to let the manager remain in office without further disruption. However the union was mandated to communicate with the office of the MEC to request a speedy response regarding the release of the report of Section 106. The spokesperson for the union, Mr Sbusiso Mdluli, confirmed that members have resolved to suspend all disruptions and wait for the release of the report by the MEC.

When asked about the group that went to the manager’s house to get him back to office, Mdluli declined to comment and only said that all workers remain united and have collectively taken a decision to go back to work until the MEC releases her report. It would be unfair to pre-empt the results of the investigation. DM

Cosmos News would like apologise to the executive Mayor of Lekwa Local Municipality for the error on the front page article of 8 April 2016. The statement was in fact made by the Chairman of Samwu, Mr Vusi Dhlamini, not Mayor Dhlamini.

PERDEKOP - Three vehicles were involved in an accident on Sunday evening, 10 April, at about 19:30 on the R23 just outside Perdekop. Four people, of which one was in a critical condition, were evacuated to Standerton hospital by ambulance services. It is suspected that a fourth heavy motor vehicle could also have been involved but that it left the accident scene. The ambulance service, traffic officials, towing services and members of AfriFo-rum were on the scene. JD

Veediewe slag beeste

Gedeeltes van ‘n bul en ‘n koei is deur Standerton veedief-staleenheid op Vrydag, 8 April, langs die Santa Hospitaal ge-vind. Daar word vermoed dat die vee deur die loop van die nag gesteel en toe deur die veediewe geslag is.

STANDERTON - Lede van die Veediefstaleenheid in Stan-derton het Vrydag, 8 April, op die oorblyfsels van ‘n swart bul en ‘n wit koei afgekom. Daar word vermoed dat die twee beeste gesteel is en tot langs die Santa Hospitaal aangejaag is en toe daar geslag is. Die bul se vel, wat heel moontlik ‘n brandmerk kon ophê, is saam met die vleis verwyder. Indien iemand hierdie twee beeste vermis kan hulle met die ondersoekbeampte, adju-dant offisier Mosia by 073 154 3653 in verbinding tree. JD

Another accident on the R23

STANDERTON - ‘n Lid van AfriForum Buurtwag se familie het op 7 April, beeste op die Secunda-pad opgemerk en aanko-mende verkeer daarteen gewaarsku. Kort daarna, omstreeks 18:44, is ‘n oproep ont-vang van ‘n ongeluk net na die Jonkersdam afdraai naby Heymans Kole.

‘n Voertuig van die departement van ar-beid, met drie insittendes, het in die beeste vasgery. Al drie die insittendes het beser-ings opgedoen, waarvan een ernstig, en is na Standerton Hospitaal afgevoer. Twee beeste is in die ongeluk doodgery en die derde moes later deur die eienaar van kant gemaak word. Dit is nog onseker oor hoe die beeste uit hul kamp gekom het en die eie naar was teen druktyd besig om onder-soek daarna in te stel.

Die ambulansdienste, AfriForum Buurt-wag, Standerton SAPD en die verkeersde-partement was op die toneel. JD

WAKKERSTROOM - Die SAPD ondersoek ‘n saak van poging tot moord nadat ‘n 30-jarige man van Wakkerstroom in Mpumalanga op Dinsdag, 5 April, op ‘n plaas in die omgewing met ‘n mes aan-geval en gesteek is.

Brigadier Selvy Mohlahla, woord-voerder van die polisie, het gesê dat die

polisie omstreeks 16:30 na die plaas ont-bied is. Hulle het daar ‘n 28-jarige man op die toneel in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem.“Volgens ons inligting woon die slagoffer en die verdagte beide op die plaas. Die slagoffer wou nie die verdagte by die plaashek inlaat nie en ‘n rusie het ontstaan. Die verdagte het ‘n

mes uitgepluk en die slagoffer twee keer daarmee gesteek,” het Mohlahla gesê.

Mohlahla kon nie bevestig of die slagof-fer die eienaar van die plaas is en of die verdagte op die plaas werk nie. Die slagoffer is na ‘n hospitaal in Newcastle geneem waar hy aansterk. (Maroela me-dia) JD

Voertuig tref beeste in donker

‘n Voertuig van die departement van arbeid het Donderdag, 7 April om ongeveer 18:44 in drie beeste op die Secunda-pad vasgery. Die drie insittendes is met beserings na Standerton Hospitaal afgevoer en drie beeste het omgekom. Die voertuig waarin die drie beseerdes gereis het, is ‘n wrak.

STANDERTON - Police are inves-tigating an armed robbery that took place on Sunday,10 April. According to the statement, two un-known suspects came to the security guard who was manning the gate at the recycling yard in the industrial area in the early hours of Sunday morning.

PROVINCIAL - According to a media statement issued by Eskom on Sunday, 10 April, Eskom has had several engagements over the last few weeks with the municipali-ties in Mpumalanga who had defaulted on their payments to them.

Eskom is pleased to report that they have reached principle agreements with the fol-lowing three municipalities in the Mpu-malanga Province, namely Chief Albert Luthuli, Mkhondo and Thaba Chweu Mu-nicipalities.

Eskom will continue to engage the remain-ing four municipalities namely, Goven Mbeki, Lekwa, Emakhazeni en Nkomazi Municipality and they are confident that the parties will reach reasonable repayment agreements.

Dit het Maandag, 11 April, gegons by Hoërskool Standerton toe die skool se nuwe hoof na heelwat afwagting bekendgemaak is. Mnr Pierre Marais is tans in sy tiende jaar as hoof by Hoërskool Frans du Toit in Phalaborwa en sal vanaf 1 Julie die leisels by mnr Hennie Pretorius, wat vanjaar na bykans twee dekades as hoof aftree, oorneem. Hoërskool Standerton het laat hoor dat hulle baie daarna uitsien om mnr Marais en sy gesin in Standerton te verwelkom.

Neels Coetzee, ‘n geliefde en gewaardeerde oud-onderwyser van Hoërskool Ermelo se musieksentrum, het op 11 Maart sy stryd teen kanker verloor. Hy het in 2006 van Ermelo na De Rust verhuis waar hy sy laaste jare deurgebring het.

Coetzee was vir agt jaar aan die musieksentrum verbonde waar hy klavier en kitaar onderrig het. Hy was ook ‘n bekwame en vaardige pianis wat dikwels by Hoërskool Ermelo opgetree het. Daarbenewens was hy ook ‘n uitstekende skilder. Ván sy landskappe hang tans in die skool se personeelkamer en in die hoof se kantoor.

Sy liefde vir diere was alom

bekend en hy sou met moeite enigiets – van ‘n muis tot ‘n spinnekop – red as hy kon. By sy huis het hy ‘n unieke versameling voëls gehad en wou hy nooit ‘n voël aan iemand verkoop of gee as hy nie doodseker was dat daardie persoon die dier die beste moontlike versorging sal gee nie.

In De Rust het Coetzee ook musiekonderrig gegee, maar dit was eintlik as skilder wat hy vir homself daar naam gemaak het. Sy skilderye was gesog en hy het menige opdragwerk vir welgestelde en bekende Kaapse sakemanne geskilder. Sy skilderye is ook in kunsgalerye in Pretoria en Stellenbosch uitgestal.

Deur die jare het die musiek- en ander Errie-personeel, met hom in verbintenis gebly en gereeld vir hom gaan dagsê. Hy sal onthou word vir sy sagte hart, sy besondere liefde vir diere en sy wonderlike musiek- en skildertalente. Sy heengaan word deur oud-kollegas en leerlinge betreur. – Hoërskool Ermelo

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6: 34 NKJV

What is it that you are wor-ried about today? Sickness, finances, that wayward child, broken dreams or relation-ships? Remember the well-known expression: “Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.” God’s word says in Matthew 6: 27 “Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” The answer is simply: no!

Even so, we wake up wor-ried and frustrated with the demands of the day, every day. What if you can take all your worries and cares and just give it to someone else to manage and resolve on your behalf?

The good news is that you can. When you are a child of God you have a Father in Heaven who is eager and pleased when you depend on Him for your every need. He says in verse 26, “Look at the birds of the air, for they nei-ther sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” He loves you, that’s why in 1

Peter 5: 7 he invites you to cast all your anxieties and fears on Him because He cares for you.

How do you cast your cares onto him? Listen to God’s loving and merciful instruc-tions in Philippians 4: 6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiv-ing, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isn’t our Gods’ heart toward His children beautiful?

Every parent wants their child to be carefree and full of joy, how can we, as God’s children then not grasp that He wants exactly the same for us (John 10: 10). When we let go, and let God take care of us and our needs He gives us His peace (John 14:27).

The Hebrew word used for God’s peace is shalom which means: peace, harmo-ny, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tran-quillity.

When you trust God, you are not waiting to be taken care of, you and all your cares are taken care of and you can rest in knowing He has you in the palm of His hand (Isaiah 49:16).

Chris J Knightley passed away on 7 April 2016. A service will be held on 16 April at 10:30 for 11:00 at the Early Bird Social Club in Standerton.

Every great man has the wonderful ability to be small when needed. Chris was that kind of man!- With love Marthie ,Paula, James and Amelia

Pray more, worry less!

In liefdevolle herinnering: Neels Coetzee

STANDERTON - The Stock Theft Unit in Standerton would like to inform all farmers about the increase of registration fees of animal ID marks.

The fee for the registration of an ani-mal ID mark will increase as from 1 April to the amount of R126. The fee for the transfer of an animal ID mark will also increase to R126 from 1 April.

As from 1 April, a fee of R126 will be charged to obtain a copy of the animal’s ID certificate. It is very important that all applications must be accompanied

by a proof of postal address. This proof must not be older than three months. If a departmental or SAPS address is used, a letterhead of the said department must be attached. An extra fee of R23 is payable for clients who want their certificates re-turned to them via registered post. No copies will be faxed or e-mailed.

In case of an official police request for court cases and investigations, the re-quest must be send on an official SAPS letterhead with the case or enquiry num-ber. JD

STANDERTON - The leader of the DA in Mpumalanga, James Masango MPL, visited Lekwa Municipality on Sunday, 10 April, to encourage residents to register to vote.

This was the last opportunity to register and to ensure your vote is counted among those millions to give hope to our children and grandchildren. Now, more than ever is the time for us as citizens to bring about change in our country and elect leaders and

a party that will uphold and respect our country’s constitution.

The DA appeals to everyone to vote for change that will deliver a better future and create jobs for the millions of South Afri-cans who suffer the consequences of poor leadership.

Masango was joined by DA councilors and activists and could be seen from 10:00 at the Standerton Town Hall. JD

STANDERTON - Unhappy Community Work Program workers in Sakhile called the media for intervention on Monday morn-ing, 11 April. They expressed unhappiness about unfair labour practices by their site manager, Mr Absalume Marko, who they claim is not paying them the amount due for work completed in March. Workers claim they have always worked eight days per month and get paid R640. Things changed in March when they were ordered to work twelve days and in return they would be paid R972.

When they spoke to the site manager, they received conflicting responses and in addi-tion five workers did not receive their salary at the end of March. The manager allegedly threatened to fire them if they don’t com-ply with the eight-days-work arrangement.

Situated next to Lekwa Municipal Offices in Sakhile, workers threatened to embark on a go-slow until they have met with manage-ment to solve their salary dispute. They also expressed unhappiness about the supervisor, Nomchato Kheswa, who is not interested to serve their interests, but rather abuse her powers to harass them.

When contacted for comment, site man-ager Marko, denied threatening workers with dismissal. He acknowledged that they worked twelve days in March, but were only paid for eight days. Management has opted to pay their outstanding monies at the end of April. This means that they will only work for four days and the four days’ outstanding money from March, will be paid in full. He said he was going to meet workers to clear up the misunderstanding. DM

Jordan Webb, ‘n leerling van Laerskool Kruinpark, het die stoei-matte die afgelope maand behoorlik laat bewe toe hy aan twee kompetisies in Pretoria deelgeneem het. Die eerste is op 12 Maart waar hy aan die o-10-afdeling deelgeneem het en in ál sy wed-stryde koning gekraai het en ‘n spesiale medalje vir die stoeier met die meeste tegniese punte ontvang het. Webb het daarna op 2 April aan die Noord-Vrystaatse Martin Kruger Ope deelgeneem en ook skoonskip in al sy wedstryde gemaak.

STANDERTON - Inbrekers het Vrydag, 8 April, gedurende die vroeë oggendure (02:39) ‘n poging aangewend om by Meyerville drankwinkel in te breek.

Die booswigte het ‘n gat in een van die dakplate gesny, maar mnr Derrick Haskins van Kasselman Veiligheids

dienste was so vinnig op die toneel dat die inbrekers nie toegang tot die winkel kon verkry nie en hulle het op die vlug geslaan. Niks word uit die winkel vermis nie en die eienaar het reeds vroeg Vrydagoggend met herstelwerk aan die dak begin. JD

Kwaaddoeners het Donderdag, 7 April, diefwering voor ‘n venster in ‘n onbe-woonde huis in Beyers Naudéstraat oop-gebuig om toegang tot die huis te verkry. Die diewe het krane gesteel en ook die wasbak in die badkamer gebreek. KVD het inligting ontvang en hulle na die to-neel gehaas, maar die inbrekers het met hul aankoms reeds op die vlug geslaan.

Om ongeveer 07:50 op Maandag, 11 April, was twee voertuie op die hoek van Robert- en Stefinastraat in ‘n ligte botsing betrokke. Niemand is in die ongeluk beseer nie, maar ‘n vrou is wel na haar huisdokter nadat sy ‘n stamp teen die kop tydens die botsing ontvang het. Die verkeersdepartement, insleepdienste en AfriForum buurtwag was spoedig op die toneel.

SECUNDA - Die “goue seun” van muni-sipale bestuurders in Mpumalanga, Mmela Mahlangu, voormalige bestuurder van die Govan Mbeki Munisipaliteit (GMM) in Secunda, het self ’n onbetaalde verbrui-kersrekening.

Mahlangu is sowat twee weke gelede deur Refilwe Mtsweni, LUR vir samewerkende regering, na die sukkelende Msukaligwa-munisipaliteit (MM) in Ermelo oorgeplaas om dit te gaan regruk. Encee van Huys-steen, ’n DA-raadslid van die Govan Mbeki Munisipaliteit, sê Mahlangu is self ’n wan-betaler.

Hy besit glo ’n sjebeen, Taifa Joint, in eMbalenhle, ’n voorstad van Secunda en tree al sedert 2013 as munisipale bestuurder van die GMM op.

Luidens beskikbare dokumente skuld Mahlangu se kroeg meer as R32 000 op sy verbruikersrekening. Benewens ’n betaling van R5 000 verlede jaar, is daar sedert begin 2015 geen ander betalings teen die rekening gedoen nie.

“Hy is (was) die baas van die raad en is veronderstel om die voorbeeld te stel. Hy moet sorg dat die raad die geld invorder wat aan hom geskuld word, maar hy betaal self nie eens nie. “Die regering se ophef wat hulle nou maak van sy ‘goeie bestuurs-vernuf’ is ’n klug. “Die raad se debiteure-grootboek het die afgelope vier jaar sedert Mahlangu hier werk van R480 miljoen tot R927 miljoen gegroei. En die raad skuld Eskom tans meer as R200 miljoen.” Mah-langu het navrae oor sy agterstallige skuld na die GMM verwys.

Bheki Kubheka, woordvoerder van die raad, sê die munisipale verordeninge bepaal dat die raad enige werknemer wie se ver-bruikersrekening langer as 180 dae agter-

STANDERTON - A family in Kosmos Park is still reeling with shock and living in constant fear after they were attacked by two unknown thugs in the early hours of Thursday, 31 March.

It is alleged that the thugs gained entry through the kitchen window after remov-ing the burglar proofing. Once inside, the suspects went to the main bedroom, where the husband and his wife were sleeping.

The husband was woken by the suspect wielding and knife who demanded his gun. A scuffle ensued and in the process the home owner managed to overpower

the suspect and took the suspect’s knife.It is reported that one of the thugs got

hold of a kitchen knife and stabbed the home owner twice. The suspects insisted that the man must hand over his firearm.

Due to his injuries, he gave in and gave his firearm to them. The suspects also al-legedly stole two cell phones and a televi-sion and fled the scene.

According to the SAPS, the woman was not harmed during the robbery. The victim was taken to hospital and dis-charged after treatment.

A case of robbery was opened for in-vestigation. DM

Twee slote, elk ongeveer twee meter diep, is weerskante van Colignystraat gegrawe en net so agtergelaat. Geen waarskuwingstekens of enige teken dat daar steeds aan gewerk word is sigbaar nie. Die vermoede bestaan dat daar na waterpype gesoek is in ‘n poging om die waterlek by die reservoir in Kieserstraat op te spoor. Die water vloei steeds onverpoos vanaf die reservoir verder in die straat af.

ERMELO - Berdine Coetzer het ‘n projek begin om kos, klere en komberse in te samel vir mense wat dit regtig baie nodig het dié komende winter.

Sy beplan om alles wat ingesamel word op Saterdag, 30 April, vanaf Er-melo met ‘n vragmotor te vervoer na die verspreidingspunte. Enige bydraes het-sy kos, komberse en klere vir alle ou-derdomme, sal baie waardeer word. In-dien iemand bereid is om by te dra kan hulle Coetzer skakel by 072 350 8488 of by 071 204 1135. Indien u eerder ‘n geldelike bydrae wil maak, sal sy seker maak dat dit goed aangewend word.

Daar is genoeg stoorplek in Ermelo vir nie-bederfbare items en hulle sal reëlings tref om dit daar te kry sodra u haar kontak. Coetzer is baie in die Secunda en Standerton omgewing om goedere na Ermelo te vervoer. Help ons om ‘n verskil in hierdie mense se lewens te maak. JD

Munisipale bestuurder betaal ook nie sy diensterekening

Taifa Joint wat aan die munisipale bestuurder Mmela Mahlangu behoort se verbruikersrekening toon dat R32 275 reeds agterstallig is. Daar is verlede jaar R5 000 op die rekening betaal maar sederdien is geen verdere betalings gemaak nie.

stallig is se skuld direk van sy salaris kan verhaal. Hy sê in Mahlangu se geval het die raad hom nooit in kennis gestel dat sy rekening agterstallig is nie en dat dit ’n oor-sigfout van die raad is. Hy sê Mahlangu het onderneem om die agterstallige bedrag on-middellik te vereffen.

Van Huyssteen sê die verduideliking is onsin. “Die finansiële komitee vergader gereeld oor die raad se agterstallige skuld. “Die amptenare en Mahlangu het geweet sy (Mahlangu se) rekening is agterstallig.” (Buks Viljoen) JD

Hierdie o-10-netbalmeisies van Laerskool Standerton het die afgelope week aan die Super 8-byeenkoms in Kroonstad deelgeneem en vir lewendige spel gesorg. Die span het in ses uit sewe kragmetings koning gekraai en die eersteplek in hul afdeling losgeslaan. Agter, van links na regs, is me Charlotte Gouws (afrigter), Teninke van Niekerk, Taylor Ritchie, mnr Rudi Hamman (hoof), Aneske Ferreira en Esmé van der Merwe. Voor is Thando Mfusi, Danika Steyn, Juné Lombard en Prosperity Shabalala.

ERMELO - Elegant, stylvol en meesleurend – dít is die enigste woorde wat Ligbron Akademie vir Tegnologie se balletdansers kon beskryf toe hulle die afgelope week aan die Suid-Afrikaanse-kampioenskap vir Uitvoerende Kunste in Rustenburg deelgeneem het.

Dit was soos ‘n toneel uit Tchaikovsky se Swanemeer toe Natasha Haasbroek en Angelique Swanepoel hul opvoerings voor ‘n paneel beoordelaars in swyende bewegings en presiese ‘en pointe’-tegnieke uitgevoer het, aangesien albei dansers met hul style en vorm beïndruk het.

Albei meisies is met ‘n gouemedalje vir hul balletuitvoerings huis toe en is albei in die Suid-Afrikaanse-span opgeneem wat in Julie na Los Angeles in die VSA gaan toer.

Behalwe vir haar balletprestasie, het Haasbroek silwermedaljes vir twee ander style behaal – ‘jazz’ en ‘lyrical.’

Dié twee Ermeloërs is ook uit die honderde ander deelnemers vir die kompetisie se ensemble ‘flashmob’ geskies wat as openingsdans vir die ‘showcase’ gedien het.

Hierdie optrede het die dansers met die hoogste punte van die week op die verhoog bymekaar gebring. DK

STANDERTON - Dit was Saterdag, 9 April, ‘n koue somersoggend toe Hoërskool Standerton teen die Randburgers van Hoërskool Linden op hul tuisveld in die NWU-Pukreeks te staan gekom het. Hoërskool Standerton se spanne het nietemin vir vuurwarm vertonings gesorg toe die skool se rugby- en hokkiespanne skoonskip in ál hul wedstryde gemaak het.

Die eerstehokkiespan verdien definitief ‘n klop op die skouer nadat hulle laat in die stryd met 0-2 agter was. Die meisies het egter met gedissiplineerde spel ‘n ommekeer bewerkstellig wat die wedstryd teen die eindfluitjie met 3-2 in hul guns laat swaai het. Dieselfde spangees het oor al Hoërskool Standerton se ander hokkiespanne geheers, aangesien die skool met indrukwekkende tellings geseëvier het. Die o-14 A’s het hul kragmeting 7-0 beklink wat die stadsjapies behoorlik skrik op die lyf gejaag het.

Hoërskool Standerton se o-15 A-span het ‘n oorwinning van 4-0 bewerkstellig, terwyl die o-16 A’s met 1-0 en die tweedespan met 5-0 geseëvier het. Die rugbymanne het op hul beurt hul staal gewys en ‘n besonderse dag beleef toe al agt spanne met die louere weggestap het. Die skool se melkbaarde – die o-14’s – het skouer aan die wiel gesit en hul teenstanders met 29-7 geklop.

Wat die o-15-span betref, het hulle die naelbytstryd met 7-6 gewen nadat Hoërskool Linden se losskakel ‘n laaste-minuut strafskoppoging wýd gejaag het om die oorwinning aan die Standertonners te besorg.

Volgens Hoërskool Standerton kan die o-16-kragmeting maklik as die wedstryd van die dag beskryf word. Ná verlede jaar se nederlaag teen Hoërskool Linden, het die SHS-manne ‘n moeilike taak op hande gehad. Maar, met rotsvaste verdediging en kanse wat góéd benut is, het die spelers vir ‘n pragtelling van 19-7 gesorg.

Die tweedespan het hul wedstryd met 17-14 beklink, terwyl die eerstespan ‘n tawwe stryd beleef het. Die latte het gesukkel om aan die gang te kom, maar het die wa eindelik deur die drif getrek toe buitesenter, Wilco Pienaar, die bal uit die lug gesteel het en 70 m vir die wendoel onder die pale gehardloop het. Die eindtelling was 25-23 in Hoërskool Standerton se guns.

Die netbalwedstryde het gemengde uitslae opgelewer en die Randburgers se vernuf duidelik gemaak. Die SHS-meisies het nogtans nie ‘n tree teruggestaan nie en weer eens bewys dat die seisoen op ‘n definitiewe opwaartse kurwe met ‘n paar pragoorwinnings, soos die o-17 A’s se 20-17 teen Hoërskool Linden, tot op hede staan.

Hoërskool Standerton se laaste poelbepalings vind eerskomende naweek (16 April) teen Hoërskool Riebeeckrand in Randfontein plaas en na aanleiding van die naweek se briljante rugby- en hokkieuitslae, behoort dit ‘n aksiebelaaide stryd te wees. (Uitslae saamgestel deur Brendan Coetzee) DK

Superoorwinning vir Stannies

Hoërskool Secunda se tweede Suid-Afrikaanse-kampioen, Leandri Lamprecht, het ‘n gouemedalje vir haar briljante spiesgooivertoning in die o-17-afdeling tydens die Suid-Afrikaanse-skolekampioenskap ingeoes. Sy het die spies 49.8 m – haar persoonlike beste aftand – laat trek.

Phillip Matfield het op sy beurt ‘n bronsmedalje in die o-15-hoogspringitem tydens die ASA-kampioenskappe verower, terwyl Nicolene Janse van Rensburg, Juan Kotzé, Melandi Stadler en Melize Fourie in die nasionale top agt pronk.

ERMELO - Al wat student is het Maandagaand, 11 April, op die punte van hul stoele gesit toe die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU-Pukke) en die Universiteit van Stellenbosch (Maties) mekaar in die eindstryd van die FNB Varsitybekerreeks gepak het. Vir Hoërskool Ermelo en die Ermelo-gemeenskap was dit veral ‘n baie belangrike wedstryd aangesien die 22-jarige Wilmar Arnoldi, ‘n oudleerling van dié skool, as haker vir die NWU-Pukke uitgedraf het.

Die kragmeting is by die Danie Craven-stadion in Stellenbosch met ‘n stampvol pawiljoen bepaal waar duisende gelukkige student hul gunstelingspan uit volle bors ondersteun het. Hul geesdriftige krete en interessante speler 23-parafernalia het definitief vir ‘n lewendige atmosfeer gesorg wat die kommentators ‘n hele paar keer aan die lag gehad het.

Volgens SupaRugby was die eerstehelfte ‘n tipiese eindstryd waarin geen span enige kanse wou waag nie. Die halftydtelling van 0 elk het daarvan getuig. Die intensiteit het egter verhoog toe losskakel Chris Smith die voortou vroeg in die tweedehelfte geneem het en ses punte met twee strafdoele aan die Maties besorg het en tegelykertyd die Pukke laat sweet het.

Die Pukke het sterk gestaan en hul teenstanders se verdediging in die 89ste minuut, na elf agtereenvolgende skrums en nagenoeg 10 minute op die Maties se doellyn, laat knak toe flank Marno Redelinghuys kosbare punte rég langs die pale aangeteken het. Heelagter Rhyno Smith het die drie verdoel en die oorwinning aan die Pukke besorg.

Arnoldi se ouers, Deon en Donné, het die oorwinning saam met die span gevier en keer met ‘n glimlag terug Ermelo toe. (Bron: www.SupaRugby.co.za) DK
