Sean needs your help in cancer battle 1/2 Share GK CRONJE 7 June 2022 Sean received the biopsy results, and it seems to be clear. However, there are still some tests that needs to be done, including a PET scan. Sean Duranty, a well-known and beloved in Ermelo, has had a long and hard road with his ongoing battle with cancer. Following a previous bout of treatment, Sean received the good news that his cancer was in remission. Sean received the biopsy results, and it seems to be clear. However, there are still some tests that needs to be done, including a PET scan. Although Sean has a medical aid, the unforeseen costs that are not covered is making life a little difficult at this time. Receiving treatment in Trichardt, Sean has to travel extensively to seek medical attention, and most probably has to travel to Pretoria as part of his treatment, depending on the outcome of the biopsy. Sean has told the Tribune that when he had to receive a PET scan during his previous treatment, he had to pay R5000 cash before they could assist him. Factoring in the escalating costs due to inflation, the cost of such a scan could be considerably more this time around. A group of Sean’s friends has since clubbed together and launched a support group to donate funds towards his expenses, but there is still a long road ahead which will require Sean to stretch his wallet even further. Should be biopsy return unfavorably, Sean will be subjected to another round of radiation and an extensive list of oral medication, of which all comes at considerable financial strain. Sean has told the Tribune that he hopes to receive his biopsy results during the course of the week, and will then be able to plan the way forward. During this very stressful time, Sean stated that either way, another PET scan is on the cards, as well as either an operation or another round of radiation. “Any donated amount will be greatly appreciated, and will help tremendously in covering the costs incurred during this battle. As soon as I have clarity on the situation, and what the way forward holds, I will provide an update. I would like to thank all my friends, and those who have already offered financial assistance. I really appreciate it, and appreciate the love, care and support I have received from the Ermelo community up to this point,” Sean said. If you would like to make a contribution towards Sean’s cause, you my do so via Capitec Savings, 1367673869. Sean will be consulting again with medical professionals during the course of next week to discuss the next steps. < Previous Article Next Article >

Uncertainly looms as Motshekga consistently fumbles 1/1 Share GK CRONJE 2 June 2020 The unions said this is a time to show solidarity with the plight of other provinces, and sympathy with the plight of thousands of teachers and children across the country. The unions have called on Motshekga to meet teacher unions and governing body associations on 11 June for "genuine assessment and engagement" about the readiness of the system. “If we follow the protocols and maintain all precautions, we will effectively minimize the risk posed by the coronavirus.” There are the words of President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has urged schools to not reopen until all the necessary precautions are in place. This comes after the return to school for Grades 7 and 12 has been delayed by another week. President Ramaphosa has assured parents that government and all stakeholders are doing all they can to ensure their children’s safety. Teacher unions have called on schools not to reopen amid the chaos caused by government's last-minute 7 day postponement. “We have heard them, we welcome their contributions and are taking steps to address their concerns as well as proposals.” the President stated. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga was expected to address the nation on Sunday evening, and has been heavily criticized for her apparent inability to maintain a sense of order in her department, and with the confusing myriad of conflicting statements made. The Council of Education Ministers (CEM) was concerned that, in some provinces, personal protective equipment (PPE) for pupils had not been received and some schools had not been made ready for their return. Despite Motshekga claiming otherwise, school governing bodies and unions believe it is not in the best interest of children and teachers to return to school while there is uncertainty about health and safety. “The response never came through until the statement which was released after two cancellations of the media briefing, and despite an undertaking in the meeting by the minister on behalf of the CEM. The teacher unions were vindicated by the independent monitoring consortium led by the National Education Collaboration Trust (NECT) that the system wasn't ready for the reopening of the schools for learners in Grade 7 and 12 on 1 June 2020. The minister asked for time to consult her colleagues, and committed to respond on 31 May, which she did not honour. This is a betrayal of trust, and does not bode well for the credibility of the education system. We want to put on record that the date of 8 June was never mentioned in the meeting, because the focus was readying the system and ensuring that all the provinces comply with the 12 non-negotiables,” unions NAPTOSA, PEU, NATU, SADTU and the SAOU collectively stated. The unions alleges that the Department of Basic Education is "obsessed with dates and ignoring the evidence of provincial readiness. The lack of appreciation for evidence can only be characterized as irresponsible and negligent,” they echoed. The unions said this is a time to show solidarity with the plight of other provinces, and sympathy with the plight of thousands of teachers and children across the country. The unions have called on Motshekga to meet teacher unions and governing body associations on 11 June for "genuine assessment and engagement" about the readiness of the system. The proposed date for re-opening is now 8 June 2020, but is subject to change at any time. < Previous Article Next Article >

TLU SA Jongboere moedig landbou aan om die bedryf te versterk 1/1 Share GK CRONJE 18 May 2021 Die konferensie is afgesluit deur die president van TLU SA, mnr. Henry Geldenhuys. Hy het jong boere aangemoedig om as ‘n kliphoeksteen sterk te staan in die gemeenskap. TLU SA het boere regoor die land tydens die onlangse Jongboerkonferensie sterk aangemoedig om by georganiseerde landboustrukture aan te sluit om die uitdagings wat die bedryf ervaar, saam aan te pak. Die Jongboerkonferensie word jaarliks aangebied, maar moes verlede jaar as gevolg van die inperking afgestel word. Vanjaar is die konferensie fisies by die hoofkantoor in Silverton, Pretoria aangebied en regoor die land gestroom via die Zoom-platform. Groot groepe jong boere het bymekaar gekom en die verrigtinge regstreeks oor hulle skerms gevolg. Die TLU SA Jongboerkonferensie 2021 is in samewerking met die borge Santam Landbou, Nedbank, NWK, die Solidariteit Beweging, Agri All Africa, Obaro en die LWO Werkgewersorganisasie aangebied. Die tema van vanjaar se konferensie, Die waarde van ‘n boer is deur al die sprekers beklemtoon. TLU SA se hoofbestuurder, mnr. Bennie van Zyl het die waarde van boere onderstreep deur te verwys na hoe landbou dwarsdeur die COVID-19 inperking voedsel aan die land verskaf het, onder baie moeilike omstandighede. Hy het gesê dat landbou die enigste bedryf was wat tydens hierdie tye gegroei het, maar dat dit ook die bedryf is wat verskeie uitdagings ervaar wat die voortbestaan van landbou en boere bedreig. Hy het boere bedank vir hulle bydrae tot die land maar ook gemaan dat hulle die Godgegewe grond verantwoordelik en winsgewend moet bestuur. “Ons mag ons koppe hoog hou en ons moet ons koppe hoog hou. Maar gemeenskappe moet hande vat en bou en konstruktief wees in die omgewing. Ons moet saam staan,” het hy gesê. Tydens die konferensie is ook ooreengekom dat die bestaande Jongboerkomitee met hulle taak sal voortgaan sonder om van bestuur te verander. Die voorstel is sonder teenkanting aanvaar. Die voorsitter van die TLU SA Jongboerkomitee, mnr. Henna du Plessis het jong boere op sy beurt ook aangemoedig om by georganiseerde landbou aan te sluit. Hy het die waarde van ‘n organisasie soos TLU SA beklemtoon deur na sy eie ervaring te verwys. TLU SA het hom ondersteun om finansiering te kry nadat hy op sy eie nie daarin kon slaag nie as gevolg van die Landbank se wanbestuur. Deur die TLU SA-netwerk het hy ook die ondersteuning van die LWO Werkgewersvereniging met arbeidskwessies waarmee hy nou te doen het. “Dit is nodig om 'n ondersteuningsnetwerk te hê as boere. Sluit aan by TLU SA,” het hy gesê. Die hoogtepunt van die konferensie was ‘n aanbieding van TLU SA se Jongboer van die Jaar 2020, mnr. Danie Bester oor die gebruik van presisie tegnologie in landbou. Hierdie tipe boerdery is daarop gemik om winsgewendheid te verhoog deur tegnologie in te span om sodoende hulpbronne optimaal te benut. Die volledige aanbieding sal binnekort op TLU SA se webwerf beskikbaar gemaak word sodat ander jong boere van die inligting gebruik kan maak. Die konferensie is afgesluit deur die president van TLU SA, mnr. Henry Geldenhuys. Hy het jong boere aangemoedig om as ‘n kliphoeksteen sterk te staan in die gemeenskap. “Jongboere, landbou het jou nodig,” het hy gesê. “Jy is die toekoms van landbou, maar jy het ook ‘n landbou organisasie nodig en dit is TLU SA. Raak betrokke, dit is jou spreekbuis. Jong boer, jy het waarde in die voedselwaardeketting.” < Previous Article Next Article >

Jag wenners sê dankie 1/1 Share SM HATTINGH 31 August 2021 Ons Van Graan’s het absoluut elke oomblik geniet, wat ‘n groot bederf en ons was skoon moeg Sondag toe ons 14:00 die middag die plaas verlaat. Brief - Waar kan ons begin? Ons gesin het die Jagnaweek kompetisie gewen, en wat ‘n surprise.

Mooiste uitsig vanaf ons chalet, ons is verwelkom en Oom Dirk (van Western breeze) begin reëlings tref met ons vir Saterdag se GROOT jag. Ons geniet die stilte (Let wel ons is van Centurion en dis maar ‘n gewoel) van die natuur en ons longe trek elke bietjie vars lug in, vir die naweek is ons masker vry en COVID is vergete. Ons gesin lê langs die swembad, en vat elke oomblik in en die son strale val op die koppies rondom ons en dis so mooi. Die aand gaan lê ons 4 buite op die lê stoele langs die swembad en skakel al die ligte af. Sjoe, dis net sterre. Ons verwonder ons aan die nag se stilte en die hemel ruim se skepping. Ons is bevoorreg en dankbaar. Saterdag is almal op, en die jag begin al 07:00, en 19:00 die aand is ons tuis. Adrenalien loop nog hoog, en ons dag was ongelooflik lekker. Ons sluit die dag af met ‘n vuurtjie by die boma en besef weereens hoe amazing dit was.

The SAPS and SACCW have issued warnings to shoppers of the infamous money roll scam. The scam, which has seen a downward spiral in popular use, has seen a resurgence as Christmas approaches, taking advantage of vulnerable victims. The modus operandi used in this scam is that the scammers throw a fake wad of cash on the floor, where an unsuspecting shopper will pick it up. The roll of money is actually rolled up paper, with a fake note rolled around paper to make it seem like a large amount of cash. The scammer will then accost the shopper by telling them that they also want a share of the money. The scammer will then persuade the victim to accompany them to a private location to share the money, whereafter they will rob the victim, often at knife- or gunpoint.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, as more and more business opt to move their operations online. A large part of a successful business online, is the feedback received from clients who search for your services. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) statistics play a large part in how easily your business can be found on Google, and various paid services can help increase your visibility rating. However, a company called White Pages, claim to provide interested parties with free SEO listings on Google. While this might seem like a perfect investment for your company, it is in actuality, a shameless moneymaking racket. When you are cold-mailed by White Pages representatives, or happen to stumble across their “free” service, take a look at the fine print on the documentation sent to you. While it may seem at a glance that this is a service rendered by Telkom, listing your contact details in a directory similar to the Yellow Pages, White Pages holds no affiliation to Telkom whatsoever. While a large, eye-catching sentence draws your attention, claiming to be a “free service”, the fine print is the flopped pudding. The fine print, which is almost always ignored, or simply glanced over when filling in a submission form, states that White Pages Directory Pty Ltd is an independent online advertising company, who is not affiliated to Telkom or Trudon. Furthermore, you are unwittingly duped into signing a twelve month contract to the value of R10 740.00. To make matters even worse, this contract will renew annually unless cancelled in writing, and White Pages Directory Pty Ltd needs to send confirmation acknowledging the request to cancel the service. Advertising is to be carried out for the above mentioned company as per the details above. It should also be noted that this contract is subjected to cancellation within five days of signing. Delayed payments will incur penalty fees after 30 days, and will be handed over for collection including costs on an attorney and client scale. Unsuspecting clients are also duped into signing a contract which binds them to 50% of the total amount being payable upon cancellation. Ironically, the “debt collection” e-mails often come from a Gmail account, which brings into question the validity of the White Pages, as well as the dubious means in which they trap unsuspecting individuals. There have been numerous complaints laid against the White Pages at the ombudsman, as well as the South African credit bureau. Complaints have also been lodged against the White Pages regarding harassment from their “debt collection department”, and affiliated legal threats.

Die leerders het in die volgende kategorieë meegeding in Afrikaans en/of Engels: instrumentaal, vokaal, kuns, skryfkuns, lees (voorbereid en/of onvoorbereid) asook redenaars (voorbereid en/of onvoorbereid). Daar is twee uitdunrondes in Mpumalanga gehou: een te Hoërskool Secunda en een te Hoërskool Ermelo.

Indien ‘n leerder nie as item wenner aangewys is nie, maar steeds ‘n hoë genoeg punt behaal het, dring die betrokke leerder steeds deur na die nasionale finaal, bekend as die Forte-ronde. Verskeie Erries het aan meer as een item deelgeneem. Die uitslae is as volg: 70% en hoër: 2 items, 80% en hoër: 19 items, 90% en hoër: 30 items. ‘n Ekstra pluimpie aan die twee EHS-leerders wat die hoogste punte behaal het: Marice de Jager (voorbereide redenaars) & Mar-Louise Viljoen (kuns: kleurpotlood) wat albei spog met ‘n skitterende 98%.
