BETHAL: A police constable was allegedly beaten and shot dead by her husband - a police sergeant - during an argument here in Mpumalanga. The incident happened on Thursday last week in Bethal, said SAPS spokesperson Brig Leonard Hlathi. “Information at police disposal indicates that police were notified of an incident in which a woman was assaulted and shot by her husband in town. Upon arrival at the scene, the victim was found with a gunshot wound and lying in a pool of blood, still bleeding profusely,” Hlathi said on Friday. “Unfortunately, she was certified dead by paramedics and a murder case was then opened where the woman's husband was immediately arrested.” Hlathi said the husband and wife did not work at the same police station. “The woman was employed by the SAPS as a constable, stationed at Mzinoni police station and she was apparently off duty when she met her death. The husband is also a member of the police, holding the rank of a sergeant stationed at the Hendrina police station,” said Hlathi. The sergeant appeared in the Bethal magistrate's court on Monday 28 June 2021. Acting provincial police commissioner Maj-Gen Thulani Phahla condemned the incident. He urged officers to seek professional help when dealing with domestic challenges instead of turning to their guns. “It is unfortunate that our member has lost her life in such a manner, allegedly at the hands of a person who was supposed to have protected her and a double blow that the suspect is within our ranks,” said Phahla. “The SAPS has systems in place such as health and wellness to deal with the wellbeing of members and I urge members to effectively make use of these services, which are for free, where they can be alleviated of any social discomfort they might encounter,” he added.

BETHAL: Die Ermelo-provinsiale hospitaal het op 17 Junie 'n amptelike oorhandiging van oogsorgtoerusting in ontvangs geneem. Mev. Sasekani Manzini, LUR van die departement van gesondheid in Mpumalanga, is vergesel deur Mev. Audrey Maleka, 'n lid van die Nasionale Raad van Provinsies en gesondheidsamptenare. Mev. Manzini het gesê “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints” kon met behulp van sy liefdadigheidsafdeling, 'n organisasie sonder winsbejag, optometriese en katarak-chirurgiese toerusting aan die
Gert Sibande-distrikshospitaal skenk . Raadslid Julia Basson, lid van die burgemeesterskomitee vir gemeenskapsdienste van die Msukaligwamunisipaliteit, was die programdirekteur van die dag. Mnr Thabiso Sehloho, president van die kerk, het in sy toespraak gesê dat hulle die vennootskap waardeer wat die kerk met die departement aangegaan het. Mev Manzini het die skenking van die toerusting ontvang en verwelkom namens Mev. Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane, premier van Mpumalanga. Volgens Mev. Manzini is
hierdie skenkings gemaak met die uitsluitlike doel om die departement te help om dienste aan siggestremdes te verbeter en uit te brei. Sy het bygevoeg dat katarakoperasies slegs in die Bethalen Ermelo-hospitaal gedoen word, maar brekingsdienste soos brildienste word tans gelewer deur die distriksbestuurder vir oogsorg, 'n gekwalifiseerde oogkundige in hospitale in Bethal, Standerton, Carolina, Amajuba, Piet Retief, Embhuleni en Ermelo. “Hierdie toerusting sal help om die gehalte van oogsorgdienste in die hele Gert Sibande-distrik te verbeter.”

IEC: We don't yet know if upcoming local elections will be free and fair The IEC made the submission at the inquiry into ensuring free and fair local government elections during COVID-19. The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) on Monday said it had not yet made a decision on whether the local government elections would be free and fair. The IEC made the submission at the inquiry into ensuring free and fair local government elections during COVID-19. The inquiry, headed by former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, kicked off on Monday in Johannesburg and will this week hear arguments for and against the postponement of the October local polls. IEC chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo made the first oral submission as the inquiry kicked off. He said the inquiry was established after concerns about the elections were raised by political parties. “Concerns have been expressed by some parties that the elections this year may not be free and fair given the impact of COVID-19 as well as the measures government has undertaken to curb the spread of the pandemic.” As far as the fairness of the elections was concerned, Mamabolo said the jury was still out. “No such decision has been reached at this point on the side of the commission. We are eagerly awaiting the final report.”

Hoe vier jy jou feesmaal? Ek word gevra om vir die Rekord te skryf. My vraag was natuurlik eerste waaroor moet ek skryf? Enige iets is die antwoord. Sommer net jou waarnemings en ondervindings. Ek herkou aan die gedagte. Dae sluimer verby en my kop voel leeg! Goed wat hier rond gebeur is so allerdaags. ‘n Pap wiel as jy laat is, vuil baba doeke en ‘n geyser wat die gees gee. Dit tref my mos sò is die lewe dan ook! Dit is soos ‘n feesmaal! Jy kan aansit en dit vier of jy kan die geleentheid laat verby gaan. Ek word soms stil en luister na ander om my en kry skaam want ons klink eenders! Ons het ‘n kultuur geskep waar negatiwiteit seëvier. Ons gebreekte woorde strooi ons in die wind en plant so die saadjies weer voort waar dit gunstigheid vind in ‘n ander se mond. Sommer ‘n mens gemaakte ding. Ons kan kla, skop en kerm of ons kan oudag stoepstories versamel waarmee jy jou dae kan vul. Die lekkertes van onthou en die voorreg van keuses! Dit laat my dink aan die gesegde: “Some men die and have never lived!” Lees dit weer en dink gerus oor die waarheid. Is ons nie so besig om te kla en te kerm dat die lewe ons eintlik verby gaan nie? Ons verleer om die humor in situasies raak te sien. Ons dink ‘n ideale lewe is waar alles net voor die wind gaan. Hoe wonderlik vervelig sou dit nie wees nie? Ek persoonlik leef vir die ‘Aha’ oomblikke van die lewe. Die waar jy ‘n nuwe ontdekking maak van iets nuuts wat jy nooit geweet het bestaan nie of nòg beter as jy ‘n nuwe faset ontdek van jou menswees. As groei plaasvind! Dit is wat met elkeen van ons gebeur elke dag oral. Ons groei. Ons word wyser en leer uit ons foute. Nee, die lewe is ‘n feesmaal! Dit is ‘n kind se arms om jou nek. ‘n Pap band op die onmoontlikste tyd. Die vooruitsig van nuwe seisoene in die natuur en ook ons lewe. Geliefdes wat jou dra as dit soms voel of die lewe jou platslaan. ‘n Ou vriendin wat onverwags bel. Die kuier om ‘n vuur en ja selfs ‘n geyser wat bars! Die lewe deel mos maar aan ons almal uit. Soms goed en soms sleg máár jou geluk sal bepaal word deur jou gesindheid. Nou wonder ek. Hoe vier jy jou feesmaal? - Hannetjie Brooks

Heuningdruppels “Waarom is julle so verskrik en waarom kom daar twyfel in julle harte?” (Luk. 24:38) ’n Twee-in-eenvraag wat Jesus vra. Dit laat my dink dat die antwoorde op dié twee vrae onderling afhanklik is van mekaar. As jy bang en verskrik, bekommerd en angstig, bevrees en onrustig is, is die rede dalk omdat jy twyfel aan die Here se beloftes van voorsiening en beskerming en hulp, omdat die geloof en hoop in jou hart opgeraak het of doodgedruk is deur jou vrees. Aan die ander kant: as daar twyfel in jou hart is en jy nie meer die Here kan raaksien in jou lewe nie, as jy nie glo dat Hy in beheer is en alles ten goede sal laat meewerk nie, gaan bekommernis en vrees jou gedagtes oorheers en jou angstigheid buite beheer raak. As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “waarom is jy so verskrik?”, dan mag en kan en moet jy al jou bekommernisse by Hom kom afpak. “Werp al julle bekommernisse op Hom, want Hy sorg vir julle.” (1 Pet. 5:7) As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “Waarom is jy so verskrik?”, hoor dan terselfdertyd sy oop uitnodiging wat sê: “Kom na My toe, almal wat uitgeput en oorlaai is en Ek sal julle rus gee.” (Matt. 11:28) As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “Waarom kom daar twyfel in jou hart?”, hoop ek jy sal die twyfel kan uitdoof en met geloof en vertroue sê: “Die Here is my helper, ek ken geen vrees nie.” (Heb. 13:6) ~ Wilna Botha

What is Epilepsy? Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, the hallmark of which is recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Many people with epilepsy have more than one type of seizure and may have other symptoms of neurological problems as well. Sometimes EEG testing, clinical history, family history and outlook are similar among a group of people with epilepsy. In these situations, their condition can be defined as a specific epilepsy syndrome. The human brain is the source of human epilepsy. Although the symptoms of a seizure may affect any
part of the body, the electrical events that produce the symptoms occur in the brain. The location of that event, how it spreads and how much of the brain is affected, and how long it lasts all have profound effects. These factors determine the character of a seizure and its impact on the individual. Having seizures and epilepsy also can also affect one's safety, relationships, work, driving and so much more. How epilepsy is perceived or how people are treated (stigma) often is a bigger problem than the seizures. A person is
diagnosed with epilepsy if they have one or more seizures that were not caused by some known and reversible medical condition like alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but often the cause is completely unknown. The word "epilepsy" does not indicate anything about the cause of the person's seizures or their severity. BETWEEN 4 AND 10 OUT OF 1,000: Number of people on earth who live with active seizures at any one time.

Although the guidelines do not constitute binding law, the commission was clear that they reflect the policy position of the commission regarding what would be considered anticompetitive in the industry going forward, said Bowmans. “The commission also noted that it is interested to see how the industry will implement the guidelines in everyday practice and that it will be conducting periodic assessments to monitor compliance with the guidelines. How the application of the Guidelines will unfold is – of course – not certain. Industry players may need to adopt purposive interpretations in certain instances where compliance is commercially impractical, Bowmans said. “To this end, it is not implausible that the guidelines may evolve over time based on experience and application.

Klitsgras
Klein Jannie moet die lantern vashou terwyl sy pa sy ma help kraam, donkiejare terug. Baba no 1 kom uit, en Jannie is verheug. ‘n Tweelingsussie kom uit en Jannie is stomgeslaan. Toe die pa die derde een uithaal, sê Jannie: Ek gaan nou die lantern doodblaas. Die goed kom agter die lig aan!
Klitsie het nou al van baie skelmstreke gehoor maar die een vat die koek letterlik. Tannie se man is 'n rukkie terug oorlede. Tannie is glad nie 'n spring chicken nie en die eensaamheid werk ook nie so lekker nie. Tannie is baie betrokke by die community en so ook by die gesin waar 'n pragtige jong adonis, 6 pack, bruin gebrande bene, bonsmara bul boude, grasgroen oë en spiere wat soos die Vrystaatse berge bult ook bly. Kom ons noem hom Jannie. Jannie is baie dankbaar dat Tannie die familie in nood so gewillig uithelp met kospakkies, vleis en klere. “Kan ek Tannie se nommer kry?” Tannie gee heel onskuldig die nommer en bied aan haar deur staan enige tyd oop as Jannie oor iets wil kom praat. Halfuur later kry Tannie 'n whatsApp en gelukkig het die nie bestuur nie anders het sy die ou bakkie gerol... 'n Pragtige half naked fototjie met die mooiste boodskappie. En toe weer en weer en later voel Tannie weer soos die mooiste meisie in dorp. Die chats raak langer die foto's het minder klere aan die koffie by tannie al hoe intressanter. Jannie is 43 jaar jonger as Tannie... Maar ouderdom is mos
‘n Blondine van ‘n klein plattelandse dorpie gaan stap ‘n entjie. In die bos sien sy verbaas ‘n valskermspringer wat in hoe bome vassit. ‘Help,’ roep hy toe hy haar sien. ‘Wat maak jy daar?’ vra sy vir hom. ‘Ek was besig met ‘n vryval, maar my valskerm het nie oopgemaak nie,’ antwoord hy. Sy rol haar oë. ‘Natuurlik het dit nie’, vervolg sy, ‘Jy kon enige van die plaaslike mense gevra het. Niks maak hier op ‘n Sondag oop nie.’ WhatsApp jou grappie vir ons na 073 847 2468

net 'n nommer en die skelm liefde blom behoorlik. Jannie wil nie meer net kom koffie drink nie hy wil kom oorslaap en liefde maak. Of Tannie enigsins getwyfel het weet Klitsie nie maar die volgende aand het onse Adonis met die mooiste lippe die tannie se wêreld behoorlik gerock... Soveel so toe Tannie die volgende oggend wakker word is Jannie al weg. En sommer met die Tannie se hele sitkamer stel matte en al ook. Tannie dink daar's ingebreek. Jannie antwoord nie en Tannie panic. Jaag met 'n spoed na Jannie se huis toe. En toe skrik Tannie... Jannie en family het soos mis voor die son verdwyn... die huis is leeg. Jannie het tannie 'n aand wat sy nooit sal vergeet nie belowe en sy het dit gekry. Sy moes nooit daai koppie koffie na die tyd gedrink het nie! Tannie te skaam om te deel dat sy met 'n slap (of stywe?) riem gevang is weier om enige iets verder te doen as om 'n nuwe sitkamerstel en TV by Lewis te loop staan koop... Ergste die hele familie is in op dit wat Jannie doen! Klitsie kan nie help om te wonder waar Jannie nou is nie en wie meubels moet gaan koop nie...
