“As ’n gemeenskap moet ons saamstaan en die probleme in Bethal takel. Deur selfdoeninisiatiewe soos hierdie kan ons die dorp se agteruitgang keer,” sê Hennie Bekker, distrikskoördineerder vir AfriForum in die Laeveld.

Ondernemings en inwoners van Bethal het hierdie aksie moontlik gemaak deur bydraes te lewer waarmee die teer aangekoop is.

So is die Lewe: Afrika se Hartklop

Nog ‘n “So is die lewe” rubriek vanuit die pen van Ds Marius Britz. Titel is Afrika se Hartklop

Afrika het ‘n hartklop, ‘n eiesoortige ritme. ‘n Klop vol onverstaanbare boodskappe, meestal vir oningeligtes niksseggend. Eeue reeds is daar met tromme gekommunikeer, word daar diep in die nag boodskappe gedeel en verhale vertel. Die gedoef-doef van tromme het vertel oor geboortes, oor feesdae, oor die afsterwe van belangrike mense oor die vasteland.

Van stat na stat, streek na streek, oor grense wyd en ver, oor die vlaktes en woude en woestyne van Afrika het sy hart geklop. Die kleintydkere wat ons by familie of vriende op plase gekuier het, was dit asof jy jou oor teen die borskas van Afrika gedruk het, veral naweke by die werkershuise.

Rondom dansende vlamme op ‘n groot buitevuur het die dansende lywe die simbiose van mens en natuur in Afrika gedemonstreer, ‘n makabere parodie van die ineenverstrengeldheid van die skepping deur die ritmiese gedoef-doef van ‘n meesleurende ritme, ‘n opbouende crescendo wat die dekor opstel van ‘n dramatiese toneel wat nog gaan volg.

As kind in Springs het die sporadiese tromme se ritmiese gedreun kleintyd by my vrees ingeboesem. In die mynkampongs naby aan my grootwordhuis het mans laatnag swetend om ‘n vuur hulle verlangens op die beesvelle wat gespan is oor uitgeholde, kunstig gekerfde houtstompe uitgedonder, verlange na vrouens en kinders, ouers en voorvaders wat ver op die platteland van hierdie wye en droewe land is, in primitiewe huise gebou van klei en strooi.

Dikwels is die gedreun van mansstemme in die tongklap van inheemse tale veelstemmig gekommunikeer, herhalend en dringend. Pyn, vreugde, trots, vernedering, frustrasies, woede en ander onnoembare emosies het ritmies weergalm oor die ooglopend vreedsame slapende voorstede van die Oos Rand, die myne in Johannesburg en Kimberley, die platteland, die Kaapse vlakte, oor die wye uitgestrektheid van die kontinent.

LEES OOK: So is die Lewe: Versorgingsoord

‘n Ewigheid wat oor Afrika kom lê het, en sporadies sy kop opgelig het om te wys dat hy nog lèèf, nog niks van sy teenwoordigheid verloor het nie. Afrika se dromme het later dreigend geraak, gemoedere is opgesweep, angswekkende boodskappe is gekommunikeer, wat vir nie-Afrikane dikwels onverstaanbaar was. Die winde van verandering, waaroor die Britse premier Harold Macmillan op 3 Februarie 1960 die Suid Afrikaanse parlement in Kaapstad gewaarsku het, het oor die vasteland begin waai.

Dit is gesien in Kenia, die Kongo, later Mosambiek, Angola, Uganda, Angola, in vele ander lande. Uhuru het ‘n kreet geword wat die gesig van Afrika woedend laat frons het. Afrika is nie ‘n plek vir lafhartiges nie, hy verslind diè wat nie in hom hoort nie, wat nie sterk genoeg is om hier te oorleef nie.

Afrika se hartklop het ook ander klanke gehad. Oor die senders van LM-Radio het ek kleintyd op ‘n selfgeboude kristalradio die koloniale stem van Afrika gehoor. Amaliá Rodrigues se Fado Português het laatnag ook ‘n ánder storie van Afrika vertel, van die Portuguese matrose, staatsamptenare en ambagsmanne wat in Mosambiek en Angola kom werk het, en dan verlief geraak het op die plaaslike meisies, en kinders by hulle gehad het.

Wanneer die manne weer terugkeer Portugal toe, staan die vrouens op die kaai, kinders aan die hand, en stort hulle harte uit in hierdie musiek gevul met heimwee en rou seer.

Afrika se hartklop was ook in die klank van Elvis, die Beatles, Jim Reeves en Percy Como.

Afrika se hart het geklop in die nostalgiese konsertinaklanke van die Soutpansbergsetees, van die Ou Waenhuisvastrap en die Lief Anna-polka. Afrika het vars uit Koos Doep en Anton Goosen se monde gekom oor Pretoria en Stellenbosch, luidkeels geprotesteer saam met Johannes Kerkorrel en die Gereformeerde blues band met Ou ou Lied van Afrika en met Koos Kombuis en sy F@k$l song, Bernoldus Niemand met Hou my vas Korporaal.

Afrika het saamgesing met Margaret Singana, Amampondo, Kabelo Mabalane, Sibongile Khumalo en Johnny Clegg. Afrika het gesing saam met Kurt Darren en Lance James. Afrika het geril van trots met Enoch Sontonga se Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika en Langenhoven se Die stem van Suid Afrika. Afrika het gesmeek: “Give me hope, Johanna.”

Watter klopgeluide maak Afrika se hart vandag? Sê dit dalk” “What is in this job for me?” Bestaan Afrikawysheid uit “Be wise, sanitize?” “Be wise, condomise?” Sluit Afrika se hartklop huidig taal in soos “Give me your money and your cellphone?” Sing die hart van Afrika “Black lives matter” en “One settler one bullet?”, Sing Afrika steeds “En hoor jy die magtige dreuning?” Klink Afrikagestotter soos die gekletter van ‘n AK47?

Afrika se hartklop het verander. Steeds is daar die dreigende ondertone van die vorige eeu. Daar is nog steeds diepliggende frustrasies, uiterste armoede en onregte en vermeende onregte. Daar is steeds leuens en feite in die hartklop.

Maar Afrika praat ook in ander tale deesdae. Die oorverdowende gedoef-doef van die kwaitomusiek in die oorvol taxi wat oor die rooi robot ry. Die Afrikaanse rymelary by die braaivleisvure in suburbia, waar mense op die hartklop van Op-op-op-en-af-af-af stuitige dansbewegings maak, die ylstemmige mannetjie wat sing van sy rooirokbokkie saam met wie hy heel aand wil sokkie agter op sy trokkie, en daarkom‘nhaaihylaaikmykwaaiskarumba diepsinnige ballade, die ek-haauw-van-jaauw-wil-jhaai-met-mhaai-traauw peleton.

Afrika se hartklop is hoorbaar is die ghettoblasters, by die Pakistani se winkel, slegs kontant betaalbaar, gekoop waar Swanepoel-meubileerders eens was, dit is hoorbaar in die oorfone wat by die Pepstore-selfoon ingeprop is, en blienkeblienkeblienke geluide maak.

Afrika se hartklop is hoorbaar in die opgezoepte Golf met sy gedropte suspensie en blink mêgs en sy klanksisteem wat meer werd is as die kar self en stadig in die vervalle hoofstraat van vervalle plattelandse dorpies afry. “Kedoefkedoefkedoef,” sê Afrika. En hierdie hartklop is ongelukkig meestal totaal onreëlmatig, die kloppe van sy hart ligjare van mekaar. Hóór jy die drome van Afrika?

Can you hear the sound of drums

of footsteps fleeing

of scrambling feet,

falling over, hitting the ground with spasmodic turns of speed.

Can you hear the tempo of running, of fear,

the drumming feet, a backdrop to the screams of departing life?

Can you hear them outside your door?

Pounding on your window, begging to be let in,

Away from the pestilence that devours, bone, flesh and blood?

Can you hear the sound of drums?

Can you hear the drums of war?

Drumming triggered by the words of your hate,

Drums beaten by the staccato of your vitriol,

Veins bulging, spit spewing anger

Vile, suffocating hate

that hits the skin of indifference.

‘Not my problem’

‘Not my headache’

‘Not my war.’

Can you hear the sound of drums?

The drumming of a heart that beats with the same rhythm as yours?

Covered with muscles and blood and flesh

So very much like yours.

But it is the skin

Which is darker than yours

or lighter than yours

From a different place to yours

More feminine than yours

More masculine than yours

The resonance of a heart that believes a different thing from yours.

So different that you cannot hear the sound of drums,

Will not hear the sound of drums,

till the drumming stops. . .

Please listen,

Let go of your hate, let go of your anger,

We all need to hear the sound of drums

Same, same but Safer at the 1 and only Moove Motion Fitness!

Gyms and fitness centres have remained closed in South Africa since the country first moved to a level 5 lockdown on 27 March. President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement about the reopening of gyms during alert level 2 has brought long-awaited good news for the Fitness Industry. After four long months, fitness fanatics are able to work out in the gym again!

Moove Motion Fitness Clubs officially opened on Monday, 24 August 2020. Only 50 people are allowed in the gym at any time and members were and are encouraged to book a slot via its app and website to prevent arriving at an at-capacity gym and having to wait your turn – Bookings were seamless although I had to download their app first.

Same, same but Safer at the 1 and only Moove Motion Fitness!
Book your spot NOW!

Zola Mthombeni Regional Operations Manager at Moove said: “An online pre-screening feature has been developed on the app that will allow for fast and easy access with no congestion on arrival at the Club.”

On arrival, I received a complimentary tag for touchless entry and a buff. There were a variety of buffs to choose from.

I had my temperature checked and hands sanitised. In less than 5 minutes I was in the Club, ready to start working out.

When I was there, I noticed there was loads of space on the floor with all the equipment that was rearranged to adhere to social distancing protocols.

After using weights, members must leave them in a designated area where they will be picked up and cleaned. The weights were picked up by staff quickly.

Fitness Trainers and cleaning staff were always visible and seemed to be constantly busy sanitising and cleaning.

All staff members were wearing masks.

I noted that members are not allowed to bring their own sweat towels, there are paper towels situated throughout the Club, along with sanitiser.

Overall, it was a great experience and I am very happy that Moove was able to maintain the amazing atmosphere and vibe within the Club under the “new normal” circumstances.

Dean Wrigley Regional Manager of Fitness also took me on an exclusive tour of the Secunda Club to boast about the new safety features and the stringent measures that was put in place to look after the health and safety of their members and staff.

“We were used to disinfecting and sanitising the Club even before it was mainstream, only difference now is that we have increased the frequency of the habit. We have access control and we can screen out people that are high-risk,” said Dean.

Group Fitness Classes will also be launching very soon with some new and exciting programmes however, Dean was very secretive about it and said that they want to keep it as a surprise to their members.

Speaking to Monique Steenekamp, Regional Marketing Manager, she confirmed that there has been an overwhelming interest to get back into the swing of things amongst their Members and they have even seen growth in the amount of people interested in joining Moove for the first time and that they are anticipating the numbers to gradually increase.

“We are very excited to welcome our members back and look forward to what we have in store with future initiatives.”

My advice to our readers: if you were considering going back to the gym, you have to take responsibility for your own hygiene and do not assume everyone else is as cautious as you. Wipe down your equipment before and after you use it and wear your mask as much as possible.

NELSPRUIT- Emanating from a video clip which was widely circulated on social media, where a woman was seen being viciously assaulted by her alleged boyfriend, the woman in question has sadly opted not to open an assault case against the man.

She indicated that they have spoken as family and hence her resolve.

This comes after police in Mpumalanga instituted an inquiry into the matter with a view to subject the perpetrator to court.

The incident, which can be described as inhuman, is alleged to have taken place at Kamhlushwa in the Nkomazi area, earlier this year in February/March but only surfaced on Saturday, 22 August 2020.

After careful scrutiny of the video, police sought to fully investigate the incident as they were of the view that the man has a case to answer.

A senior police officer was tasked with the responsibility to probe this issue.

The decision made by the Provincial Commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Mondli Zuma, was largely to ensure that justice is served in this matter.

General Zuma also issued a statement over the weekend reiterating a stance which must be taken by women should they experience any form of abuse that they must institute a protection order against their partners.

He further said that if they are physically abused, they must not hesitate to open a criminal case so that the processes can run concurrently.

General Zuma further urged women not to protect their abusive partners as the results are often deadly.

“The scourge of Gender-Based-Violence can be described as a national crisis in which many women have died in the hands of their partners. As the police, we encourage women to report such cases so as to prevent the unnecessary loss of lives as well as ensure that the men who commit such crimes are taken off the streets,” said General Zuma.

Women are also encouraged NOT to withdraw cases related to GBV as that might not stop this pandemic.

Families are also advised NOT to stop victims of GBV when they opt to take the legal route.

Brutal fight over land by 2 NPOs

Two non-profit organisations from eMbalenhle are fighting over land for almost 1 year. Community members have intervened by preventing either one of them to occupy the land awarded to both of the NPOs by Govan Mbeki Municipality for infrastructural development.

READ ALSO: Bethal Protests, promises or action from GMM?

Inkosinami Centre received the papers for a 99-year lease agreement from Govan Mbeki Municipality earlier this year to occupy the land near the bakery at extension 14 but they were prevented to do so by another NPO called Nkosinathi Da Poet claiming that they have also received a lease agreement to occupy the land.

The land has been neglected for almost a decade and has become a hot spot for illegal activities happening.

The land has been neglected for almost a decade and has become a hotspot for illegal activities happening.

In the past few years remains of foeti were discovered by children who were playing on the land. Since then the land has been neglected with no one taking responsibility for it.

Inkosinami Centre has all the papers signed by municipality officials showing them as legal owners of the land but has since been denied entry by the other NPO, Nkosinathi Da Poet who claims to have legal documents to also occupy the same land.

Nkosinathi Da Poet failed to produce documents supporting their claims when The Bulletin requested these documents.

The ward councillor could not be reached after several attempts to comment nor the municipality spokesperson. 

There have been fights between the two NPOs which resulted in minor injuries. No cases were opened at SAPS.

The community protecting the land

The community from extension 14 chased one NPO away and said that the owners cannot occupy the land as they stay in another location.

Members from the community said that they do not want either of the organisations to use the land but the community did not give apparent reasons why.

SAMWU in Lekwa to continue with protests until demands are met

0

Lekwa municipality have been plagued with three weeks of protests.

Several groups have voiced their anger at the Lekwa municipality. Residents have also taken to the streets to show their frustration at the lack of service delivery in Lekwa.

Recently the Mayor and the MM were removed from office by a motion tabled by the DA only to be replaced with the same persons by the ANC. This also angered residents of Lekwa.

SAMWU have different reasons for their strike.

The Bulletin spoke to representatives of SAMWU in Lekwa in front of the town hall. The streets were littered with refuse that the residents dumped the previous night. Someone set fire to the refuse. The smoke and flames resembled a Hollywood apocalypse type of movie.

The SAMWU representatives were very clear that they demand action and would not cease their action before an acceptable response from the municipality has been received.

SAMWU spoke to the Bulletin on their protest actions and demands

Some of the issues included covered areas such as personal protective equipment (PPE) for the workers as well as danger pay.

SAMWU Lekwa demands to Council
The demands by SAMWU as accepted by the municipality

They demanded that the vehicle as made roadworthy. Most of the municipal fleet are not roadworthy are also dangerous to travel in with worn tires.

There are questions on the continual use of external lawyers when the municipality have a lawyer on their staff.

The workers also demanded that the negotiated salary increase be implemented. The municipality refuses to implement the collective agreement.

No plan are in place for the COVID-19 pandemic although the workers are promised a plan. They demand that the plan made available.

ALSO READ: Toxic Lekwa Municipality face residents and workers

They also demand that the Municipal Manager be put on special leave and a full forensic investigation be done into his actions in the municipality.

These are just a few of the demands that SAMWU gave the Municipality.

During the interview one of the SAMWU members, Jonny Nkosi, stated that the municipality upgraded the council chambers with new partitioning in line with COVID-19 guidelines. He alleged that a Durban company did the job. He also alleged that the MM hails from KZN.

The costs for the upgrade were approximately R1,6m according to Jonny. It would appear that even though the chambers were upgraded the MM refuses to hold any meetings there, even at the current level of the lockdown (level 3). She insists on virtual meetings via zoom.

The problems of Lekwa will not disappear soon and the reluctance of the provincial leadership to intervere in Lekwa as well as a number of other towns in Mpumalanga such as Govan Mbeki Municipality, Ermelo and Piet Retief will prove to be very costly ones for the people of Mpumalanga.

The resentment and anger of people in towns such as Lekwa, Piet Retief Ermelo, Bethal, Kinross and Leandra is slowly starting to become a huge headache for the municipal leadership.

Let us hope that intervention will be implemented soon.

Sasol warns the public of fraudulent RFQs

0

Sasol is warning the public to be aware of criminals who are pretending to be from Sasol’s Supply Chain function, who are using fraudulent requests for quotations (RFQs) to extract personal information, goods and even money from unsuspecting businesses.

Sasol warns the public of fraudulent RFQs

“Sasol has become aware of this new wave of phishing and procurement-related scams that are committed in its name, aimed at both registered and unregistered suppliers,” said Eben Kok, Senior Manager: Supplier Management and Transformation.  “These scams typically take the form of RFQs or similar purchase requests.”

How the scam works:

The fraudsters pose as either Sasol employees or as companies mandated to act on Sasol’s behalf and send businesses a request to tender for the supply of certain goods. 

The text message is sent to registered and unregistered Sasol suppliers informing them of an open tender to provide specific goods. Unregistered suppliers are encouraged to send their company details and CK document to info@sasolsgroupsa.com or call 012 743 6638 while registered Sasol suppliers are often merely  requested to just tender to supply that product.

READ ALSO: Bethal Protests, promises or action from GMM?

“In most instances, these scammers posing as Sasol employees, request a product so specific that it can only be procured from one ‘unique’ business,” Kok explained  “This ’unique business’ then requests payment for the niche goods but delivery never takes place, thus conning the unsuspecting victim.”

The correspondence documentation may look convincing, therefore it is important for people to be vigilant. Below are tips to help the public to ascertain whether or not the correspondence is fake:

  • Sasol will only contact you from a Sasol email address (name.surname@sasol.com), never from a sasolsgroupsa or a Gmail or Yahoo or any other generic mailbox address, nor will we ask you to submit information to such an address.
  • Sasol will not ask you to send your full company profile or your banking information via email.
  • Sasol will not request you to pay any fees in order to become a Sasol supplier or to participate in the RFQ/ Bid nor will we ask you to deposit money through Retail outlets via Mobile Money Service on a cellular account number, i.e.  063 894 6813.
  • There are only two mechanisms which RFQs are issued by Sasol:
    • Electronically via SAP by the ‘once-off’ supply chain team. When printed, this document looks the same as the Sasol purchase order.
    • Manually by Category Management or Capital Project Procurement, which will take place via email or an Ariba invitation.
  • All Manual RFQs are consistently structured in the same way.
  • The document will always request electronic delivery to bids.secunda@sasol.com. No other email addresses should be used or copied.
  • The subject line of the e-mail will always contain the following information:
    • The name of the responsible Sasol Supply Chain Specialist/ Advisor
    • The closing date and time
    • The RFQ unique reference number

Most importantly, businesses are advised not to respond to an email or text message that they think might be fraudulent. Rather, Sasol encourages companies to get in touch with the company to establish the validity of an RFQ or procurement request, via the Sasol Contact Centre, which is (+27) 0860 104 777 or contact.secunda@sasol.com.

Sasol also encourages all individuals who have received similar correspondence to please report RFQ fraud to the police and rfqfraud@sasol.com.
