Baie geluk aan Braam du Toit (18), ons eie Britsie-boerseun wat die afgelope vakansie aan die suidkus van KwaZulu-Natal naam gemaak

het nadat sy vriende hom uitgedaag het om ‘n liedjie in ‘n Uvongo- inkopiesentrum te sing. Braam het met ‘n trollie gestap en uit volle

bors ‘n Gé Korsten-lied, “Hier is ‘n mens’ gesing. Dié video is al meer as 300 000 keer op Facebook gekyk. Klik op die skakel om na sy weergawe van ‘Liefling’ in ‘n sitrusboord buite Brits te kyk -

Braam, jy laat ons harte

warm klop

BRITS POS – BRITS – Dis so lekker om ‘n Britsie te wees, veral nadat Braam du Toit, wat verlede jaar die hoofseun van Hoërskool Brits was, sy tuisdorp, Brits weer trots op die kaart geplaas het.

Brits Pos het Woensdagoggend gou met hom gesels en ons deel graag die storie met almal. Hy vertel dat hulle met vakansie aan die suidkus was en het aankope by ‘n inkopiesentrum in Uvongo gedoen.

Oom Hansie van der Walt en sy vriende, Jaco Bester en Dylan Holloway het hom aangepor om ‘n liedjie te sing. “Dit was ‘n groot uitdaging, want die mense se gesigte was maar somber, maar ek het losgetrek. Van die mense het uit die winkels gekom om te kyk wat aangaan.

Ongelukkig is die handeklap nie op die video nie, maar ek sal dit altyd onthou.”

Hy vertel dat Jaco die video op sy Facebookblad geplaas het.

“Binne net sowat ses ure was daar reeds meer as 100 000 mense wat die video gekyk het en vandag (Woensdag) het meer as 300 000 reeds die video gekyk – dit is verstommend.

Huisgenoot/Netwerk 24 het my vir ‘n onderhoud genooi en ook Appel, GrootFM, Maroela Media en Akademia, waar ek hierdie jaar met my studies, BCom Ondernemingsbestuur op 1 Februarie begin.”

Braam sing reeds vandat hy 6-jaaroud is en het met die kleuterskoolkonsert, “Stop, stop – ek is ‘n spietkop” gesing. Hy het ‘n sangbeurs van Ané Ehlers gekry en haar ma, Olga Ehlers was sy sangafrigter.

Sy laerskoolloopbaan het hy aan Laerskool Sanddrift voltooi en daarna is hy Hoërskool Brits toe en het by Annatjie Volschenk sanglesse geneem. “More is die matriek-uitslae bekend en ek kan nie wag

nie,” skerts Braam met ‘n vonkel in sy oë.

Braam is die seun van Abraham en Ansie du Toit van Geluk. Hy vertel verder dat hy dol is oor Afrikaanse musiek wat sy hart sommer warm laat klop en dat hy ook glad nie sal omgee as hierdie liefde van hom, hom verder sal neem nie.

Vir die jongman wens ons net voorspoed toe en mag jou grootste drome bewaarheid word.

Braam du Toit

BRITS POS – BAPONG – Friends were celebrating the new year at a tavern in Bapong on 1 January 2023 around 03:00 when a brawl ensued outside the tavern and the victim went outside to see what happened.

The onlooker (19) fell to the ground after being hit by something to his ear and on closer examination he found that blood was streaming from his ear down his neck.

An unknown female assisted the victim to get up and together they made their way down the road, as his friends went to get transport to take him to Bapong Clinic, but while waiting for transport, a person told

the victim that he allegedly saw the owner of the tavern firing shots from the rooftop.

A case of attempted murder was opened at the Mooinooi police station. “No arrest has yet been made and anyone who can assist the police in their investigation is requested to call Detective Commander Lt Col Mahajane on 082 416 3598,” requests SAPS North West spokesperson, Lt Col Amanda Funani.

Shooting incident at New Year’s party celebrations

BRITS POS – LETLHABILE - A couple and their two grandchildren were asleep inside their house in Letlhabile on Tuesday, 10 January around 21:50, when three armed men entered the couple’s bedroom, holding them at gunpoint and demanding money.

The woman gave them the money, but they demanded her husband’s taxi takings for the day. When it wasn’t forthcoming, they tied him up and assaulted him. They loaded him in his taxi, a Nissan Ipendulo and took off.

Around 06:00 the following morning a security guard notified the Letlhabile police of a naked body that was dumped next to Block C’s Cemetery.

On police’s arrival they found the lifeless body with numerous bullet wounds to his head, neck and upper body, identified as the taxi owner and he was declared deceased by EMS.

The abandoned vehicle was found at Kgabalatsane. “Cases of house robbery, kidnapping and murder were opened at the Letlhabile police station,” says Lt Col Amanda Funani, SAPS North West spokesperson.

“They appeared in court on Wednesday.” (At our going to press, the official police statement was not yet available.)

BRITS POS – KLIPGAT - On Wednesday, 11 January around 01:10 police received information that two lifeless bodies were found across the road from a local tavern in New Stand section, Klipgat.

When police arrived at the crime scene, they found the body of a female victim (29) with multiple gun shots to her face and upper body.

Just a couple of metres from the female, the body of a male (40) was found, also with numerous gunshots to his head and upper body.

Close to where the bodies were, police also found a blue BMW. Both victims were certified dead by EMS at the crime

scene. Cases of murder were opened at the Klipgat police station. “The BMW belongs to the friend of the female victim,”

says Lt Col Amanda Funani, SAPS North West spokesperson. “No arrests made at this stage. Police are still investigating.

The community members can contact Klipgat Detective Commander Captain Molekwa on 082 661 0741 should they have any information that could assist in the investigation.”

CMR Brits gee hoop met die gemeenskap

se hulp

BRITS POS – BRITS - CMR Brits lewer maatskaplike dienste en ondersteuning aan getraumatiseerde kinders in die Brits, Mooinooi, Hartbeespoort, Sonop en Damonsville omgewing. Hierdie dienste is van groot belang in die gemeenskap en vorm deel van ‘n intensiewe en duursame belegging in elke kind se lewe.

Die kinders wat bygestaan word, het ongelukkig die hartverskeurende trauma van blootstelling aan mishandeling, erge verwaarlosing en ernstige armoede op ‘n jong ouderdom beleef - en het dringend bystand nodig om te verseker dat hul eendag

‘n gesonde en positiewe bydrae tot die gemeenskap kan bied.

Die dienste en ondersteuning kom natuurlik teen ‘n koste en die CMR Brits doen ‘n beroep op die oop harte van die mense in die gemeenskap om ons finansiëel by te staan,”

sê Petro, bestuurder CMR Brits. “So kan ons steeds die banier van HOOP hoog laat wapper vir ons gemeenskap se mees weerlose mense.”

*Watter verskil maak die CMR Brits?

Verlede jaar het die sentrum 85 families (179 individue) van klere voorsien en ses behoeftige kinders se volledige skooltoerustings is geborg (insluitende skoolklere, skryfbehoeftes en in sommige gevalle busgeld vir ‘n maand of twee). Vier kinders se registrasiefooie is by verskillende skole betaal. 152 gesinne is met kospakkies gehelp. ‘n Totaal van 4 421 gemeenskapslede is gedurende 2022 deur CMR Brits se dienste bereik!

*Noodsaaklike behoeftes van die Sentrum Van Hoop: klere: dogters 3, 6 en 7 jaar oud; bababedjie-matrassies en beddegoed, babadoeke: 3 tot 6 maande; babamelk:

Pelargon Nr.3, Infacare Nr. 3 (pers), Lactogen Nr.3; werkende yskas;

skryfbehoeftes: kleurpotlode, HB- potlode, penne, liniale, pennesakkies, Flip Files, swartband-boeke (skrifte), A4- plastieksakkies, skooltasse, uitdraaikryte, vetkryte, legkaarte en nie-bederfbare voedsel soos mieliepap en blikkieskos.

“Met jou hulp kan die CMR Brits HOOP aan ons gemeenskap bring,” sluit Fourie af. Indien jy ‘n bydrae kan maak, kontak asseblief vir Karen Eysele by 072 011 2849 of [email protected]

Afskryf van kragskuld

bevorder ‘n legio uitdagings

BRITS POS – BRITS - Dit is verstommend en onaanvaarbaar dat president Cyril Ramaphosa meen die afskryf van agterstallige kragrekeninge in Soweto moet oorweeg word.

“Optrede soos hierdie bevorder die kultuur van nie-betaling vir krag en dra direk by tot buitensporige verhogings in die kragprys soos die 18,65% wat Nersa onlangs aangekondig het,” sê Wouter Wessels, VF Plus-LP.

“Eskom het die energiereguleerder vroeër gevra om ‘n verhoging van 32%.

Hierdie verhoging hou glad nie tred met die ekonomiese realiteite van Suid-Afrika en die feit dat die meeste Suid-Afrikaners reeds onder die broodlyn leef nie.

“Dit gaan veral die landbou-industrie swaar tref wat saam met die res van die land se sakesektor reeds sukkel om te oorleef weens beurtkrag.”

Verbruikers wat getrou vir hul elektrisiteitsgebruik betaal, word nou verder gestraf vir regering se onbevoegdheid en vir dié wat nie vir krag betaal nie.

Volgens Ramaphosa kan skuld onder sekere omstandighede en op sekere voorwaardes afgeskryf word.

Die VF Plus stem glad nie saam met hierdie siening nie aangesien dit slegs die kultuur van nie-betaling, wat ŉ ANC- maaksel is, verder sal laat gedy.

Indien die huidige agterstallige skuld van nagenoeg R5 miljard wel afskryf word, sal dit die soveelste afskryf van Soweto se skuld wees. Sedert 2003 is R17.3 miljard se skuld van Soweto afgeskryf.

Duidelik het die inwoners van Soweto bloot voortgegaan om nie vir krag te betaal nie.

Die regering het geen plan om die buitensporige agterstallige skuld aan Eskom te hanteer nie. Munisipaliteite se uitstaande skuld aan die kragvoorsiener beloop tans meer as R60 miljard.

Die sentrale regering kan nie bekostig om meer van Eskom se skuld oor te neem nie aangesien die staat se skuld reeds geweldig hoog is.

Die minister van finansies, Enoch Godongwana, het in sy mediumtermyn-

begrotingsraamwerk (MTBR) aangekondig dat die tesourie ŉ gedeelte

van Eskom se skuld gaan oorneem.

“Eskom se skuld bly egter die belastingbetaler se probleem en vir die ANC-regering om agterstallige skuld af te skryf as deel van ‘n populistiese verkiesingsveldtog, gaan die reeds oorbelaste middelklas onder verdere druk plaas,” vervolg Wessels.

“Die ANC het vir bykans 30 jaar nie aandag gegee aan die armes in townships en informele nedersettings nie.

“Dié party se fokus was eerder om ŉ handjievol kaders en vriende te verryk ten koste van die armes.

“Met die 2024-verkiesing in sig, probeer die ANC nou met onverantwoordelike beloftes steun werf. Dit gaan liederlik in sy gesig ontplof.

BRITS POS – BRITS – Na ‘n welverdiende ruskansie is die lede van Floret Blommeklub slaggereed vir die nuwe jaar se aktiwiteite wat voorlê en daar word met groot afwagting na vanmiddag, Donderdag, 19 Januarie, se eerste byeenkoms die jaar, uitgesien.

Nuwe lede en ander belangstellende blomme- geesdriftiges is welkom om vanmiddag omstreeks 13:30 in die kerksaal van die Hervormde Kerk in Van Veldenstraat saam te kom kuier.

Sinie Otto gaan ‘n demonstrasie oor tradisionele ontwerpe lewer en lede gaan elkeen ‘n eie skepping, met die tema ‘Min maar mooi’ bring.

Volgens die woordvoerder van die klub, Lynn Moll, is die doel van die tema om skeppende en treffende ontwerpe met met so min as moontlik plantmateriaal, hoofsaaklik uit ‘n eie tuin, te rangskik. ‘n Paar Floret-lede het in November 2022

‘n uitreikaksie na die versorgingsoord Mountain Haven in Hartbeespoort geloods. Dié tehuis huisves tans 35 inwoners en het sewe personeellede. Floret se lede het die inwoners en personeel met heerlike gevulde pannekoeke en nagereg op die patio, wat oor die pragtige vallei uitkyk, bederf.

“Dit was voorwaar ‘n besondere eer om die tehuis te kon besoek, aangesien een van ons klub se voormalige voorsitters, Bessie Pieterse, tans ‘n inwoner van die tehuis is,” sê Lynn. “Die besoek was ‘n reuse sukses en almal het dit terdeë geniet.”

Vir meer inligting oor Floret Blommeklub skakel Lynn Moll by 083 707 2503.

BRITS POS – BRITS - The Solidarity- owned Sol-Tech will start offering its first Information Technology (IT) qualifications from April 2023.

The private Afrikaans technical college was launched in 2007 and has gradually expanded its courses in several technical vocations over the past few years.

Aside from the incoming IT certifications, the accredited private tertiary institution offers full-time qualifications for welders, fitters and turners, toolmakers, electricians, and millwrights.

Sol-Tech said that rapid advancements in the technology industry had made education in technology infrastructure, software development, cybersecurity, and data very popular.

But the college’s managing director, Paul van Deventer, said research showed there was a massive shortage of high-quality IT training institutions and educators in South Africa.

“As a career training institution, we are stepping into a new era with this expansion,”

Van Deventer stated.

Sol-Tech will initially focus its IT programmes on three specialist fields in the tech industry –

IT and network support, data and cloud, and cybersecurity.

The courses are being offered in partnership with the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), which issues professional IT qualifications that are internationally recognised.

The individual certifications that will be available are as follows: CompTIA A+

(Core 1); CompTIA A+ (Core 2), CompTIA Network +, CompTIA Security+; CompTIA Data +; CompTIA Linux+; CompTIA Server+; CompTIA Cloud+; CompTIA CYSA+; CompTIA PenTest+; CompTIA CASP+; CompTIA ITF+; CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ and CompTIA Project+.

Prospective students can enrol in the courses now, with the first classes starting in April 2023. Sol-Tech offers more details about each specialist field and applying for the courses on its website.

Students can use virtual labs for distance learning and will also attend in-person sessions in “well-equipped” classrooms during block weeks at Sol-Tech’s Monument Park campus.

The state-of-the-art facility opened its doors in early 2021. It earned Solidarity and its property investment arm, Kanton Investments, high praise for being built under budget and ahead of schedule, despite the construction process being hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Solidarity assured that the IT programme would be taught with the same core principles that Sol-Tech has used for its other programmes over the past 15 years.

The launch of the IT certifications comes in the same year in which Solidarity’s private Afrikaans university - Akademia - enrols its first students in a full-time three- year computer science degree course at its Centurion campus.

The programme has a starting cost of R55,440 in the first year. For comparison, the University of Pretoria charges upwards of R66,000 for the first year of its BSc Computer Science degree.

Akademia is also planning to build a large new campus in Pretoria, which will include student residences, by 2025.

Ongelukke eis lewens

BRITS POS – BRITS – Die paramedici van Hartbeespoort Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) moes behoorlik bontstaan met talle botsings wat die afgelope tyd in die omgewing plaasgevind het.

In vyf van die ernstiger botsings die afgelope tyd is drie mense dood, terwyl verskeie ander baie ernstige beserings opgedoen het.

Die woordvoerder van HEMS, Leandré Spies, doen ‘n beroep op motoriste om daar teen te waak om ‘n U-draai op die paaie te maak. Die gevolge van ‘n U-draai is bykans altyd noodlottig.

Sy deel ook ‘n paar handige wenke vir alle padgebruikers: Stoor HEMS se noodnommer op jou foon: 082 695 1240; hou by die spoedgrens en wanneer dit reën verminder spoed; moenie op jou selfoon werk of praat wanneer jy bestuur nie, dra altyd ‘n veiligheidsgordel en wees heeltyd bewus en oplettend van ander motorbestuurders om jou.

In ‘n enkelvoertuigongeluk, Woensdag, 11 Januarie op die R511 Saartjiesnekpad, het die bestuurder vermoedelik beheer oor die motor verloor en teen ‘n boom gebots. Op die toneel het die paramedici van HEMS die bestuurder dood verklaar.

Twee mense is Maandag, 9 Januarie, ernstig op die R511 Thabazimbipad beseer toe daar ‘n botsing tussen twee bakkies en ‘n vragmotor plaasgevind het. Twee mense, met ernstige beserings is deur die paramedici van HEMS op die toneel behandel en na ‘n hospitaal in Brits vervoer.

‘n U-draai deur die bestuurder van ‘n vragmotor het Woensdag, 4 Januarie, noodlottige gevolge gehad. Die vragmotor het voor ‘n voertuig op die R566, Rosslynpad gedraai en die bestuurder van die motor is op die toneel dood verklaar.

‘n Motorfietryer het op Kersdag ernstige beserings in ‘n ongeluk op die R511 Hennopspad opgedoen en is met ‘n noodhelikopter na ‘n hospitaal in Johannesburg afgevoer.

Op Kersdag was daar twee ongelukke op die N4 Bakwena- hoofweg. ‘n Bakkie het ‘n motor van agter gestamp, waarna die motor gerol het. Volgens inligting op die toneel het die bakkie aangery en ‘n U-draai gemaak en aan die ander kant van die hoofweg nóg ‘n ongeluk veroorsaak. In dié het die tweede motor ook gerol. Een persoon het uit die motorgeval en is op die toneel dood verklaar. Drie ander mense is beseer en deur HEMS se paramedici na ‘n hospitaal in Brits vervoer.

said Makro’s customers keenly shopped for generators, inverters, and rechargeable lights.

Aside from food and liquor, Makro’s most popular product during the holiday shopping period was the Magneto Rechargeable Light. While typically used for camping, this LED lantern is also ideal for handling load- shedding as it can be set to automatically switch on when a power cut happens.

Another load-shedding product featured in Makro’s top 10 best-sellers was the Ryobi 7.5kVA generator.Numerous households have opted for fuel-based generators to provide backup power to their homes during load-shedding, as they can typically support a larger number of appliances than similarly- priced inverter-and-battery setups. The Ryobi 7.5KVA generator has a rated output of 6,000W and peak of 7,000W, which makes it capable of even running intensive electricity consumers like a tumble dryer, electric oven, or pool pump.

Overall, Makro’s top 10 list of most-sold products between 16 December 2022 and 2 January 2023 was as follows:

water dispenser

Bennet Read Air Fryer

Skyworth 55-inch smart UHD Android TV Ryobi 7.5KVA Generator

CampMaster Briquette Croxley Exercise Books

Koff said that sales in the week post- Christmas were concentrated on smaller value items such as stationery as customers prepared for their children to return to school.

“20% of Makro customers shopped stationery in the holiday period,” Koff stated.

Takealot said it also saw high sales of various load-shedding devices. “From UPS devices to portable power stations and LED lanterns from popular brands like EcoFlow, Gizzu and Magneto, South Africans flocked to Takealot to mitigate the increase in load-shedding,” the online retailer stated.

EcoFlow and Gizzu provide a range of portable lithium-ion power stations with varying capacities.

These are typically suited for running a handful of less-demanding appliances — like TVs, monitors, computers, lights, and routers.

Takealot said its sales of other popular products

you can’t resist something on the ‘banned’ list – making it more likely you’ll give up altogether. In any case, a diet regime that feels like a chore will be difficult to stick to in the long term. Eating healthily by focusing on positive steps rather than negative ones is much easier – and often more effective, too.

More of the right things: Eating more may seem strange if you’re trying to lose weight, but eating at regular intervals (three nutritious meals a day, plus snacks if needed) and eating more of the right things can help. Don’t focus on what you can’t have, focus on what you can have – fruits and vegetables, white and oily fish, wholegrain and high- fibre starchy carbohydrates. This will leave less room for foods like fatty or processed meats, and salty or sugary snacks and drinks.

Don’t focus on what you can’t have, focus on what you can have:

Doing this will help balance your diet, which should mean you get all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals needed for good health and the right amount of energy, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight.

Fill up on fruit and veg: Having at least five portions of fruits and vegetables each day can help protect your heart and reduce your risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke. What’s more, the fibre content will fill you up and reduce temptation from unhealthy foods.

Eating more fruit and vegetables is easy. Add stewed fruit, sliced banana or berries to yoghurt or porridge for breakfast. Put extra veg in soups, stews and sauces, or just have an extra portion or two alongside your main meal. Fruit is an obvious snack, but don’t overlook vegetables – cut sweet peppers, carrots, celery or cucumber into batons so they’re ready when hunger strikes, or simply wash cherry tomatoes and radishes.

Adding pomegranate seeds, grapes or apples to salads can make them look and taste more exciting.

Whole lot of grains: Wholegrain foods such as bread, brown rice and wholemeal pasta are a source of fibre, so choose them over white varieties to keep your digestive system healthy. Other wholegrains like oats also provide soluble fibre that can help lower cholesterol levels. You could have porridge or a wholegrain bagel for breakfast, wholemeal pasta salad for lunch and grilled chicken and brown rice salad for dinner.

Wholegrain rice cakes topped with banana are an easy snack.

Go for fish: Aim to have two portions of fish a week and make one of these an oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, trout or fresh tuna (not tinned). Oily fish is a source of protein and provides omega-3 fatty acids, associated with reducing your risk of heart and circulatory disease. Adding fish to your diet can help reduce your meat intake and the saturated fat and salt that can come with it.

Buy more food: Being prepared and buying more of the right foods makes it easier to follow a healthy diet and means you’re less likely to eat out or order takeaway food.

Planning meals in advance and going to the supermarket with a shopping list for the week ahead will help you stay on track. Be realistic about how much you will cook and eat in a week, so you don’t waste food.

Going to the supermarket with a shopping list for the week ahead will help you stay on track Cooking your own meals can help you eat healthily by allowing you to control the

amount of fat, salt and sugar you add.

If cooking from scratch seems difficult, start small with a plan to cook once or twice a week, or cook one thing you can eat over a couple of days at the weekend and build up from there. If time is an issue, make the most of your weekend and batch cook and freeze meals for during the week.

Colour it in: Making meals colourful increases their appeal. Add a variety of coloured vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, yellow peppers, beetroot, carrots and sweetcorn to make your meals look great on the plate, and more nutritious too. It’s also good from a nutrition perspective to eat a range of colours, as different fruits and vegetables have varying nutritional benefits.

There’s even evidence that using coloured plates (or cups or straws) can influence your perception of foods. Pink and white striped straws create an illusion of sweetness, making vegetable-based smoothies more palatable.

Likewise, eating leafy green vegetables like spinach or broccoli can be more pleasant from a red plate.

Enjoy your food: There’s no point eating food you don’t enjoy. Try out different foods to find ones you love.

Find hundreds of heart-healthy recipe ideas. We’ve also got healthy versions of your favourite takeaway dishes, such as chicken and green bean curry, dry masala prawns, and red onion, courgette and pepper pizza.

It takes around 20 minutes to feel full once you’ve finished eating. Slowing down as you eat and taking time to enjoy your food can help you resist a second helping or dessert.

Seth shows his Wolverines strength in Nebraska

BRITS POS – BRITS – Seth Vallance (19), a former head boy of Thornhill Primary School, made his mark on the rugby fields, not only in school and at his local Wolverines Rugby Club, but also internationally in Nebraska, USA.

Seth left SA in August last year to play rugby and attend Wayne State College in Nebraska.

According to the head coach of Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska USA, Darrin Barner, Seth is an excellent rugby player.

“Playing rugby lock/2nd row for Wayne State College, he has been selected to the NCR National College Rugby All Star Tournament that was recently held in Houston, Texas, Barner said. “The All Star competition takes the very best players in the USA at college and university levels to compete against each other in a three day tournament. Vallance played for the Western Grizzlies who are the regional scouting group for the state of Nebraska along with other Western States in the USA.”

“With a talent pool of 500 college rugby teams in the USA, this is quite an honour for anyone, but I had to laugh when Seth told me that he thinks he is the only (Freshman) first year student selected on the team, and I told him, he needs to be very proud since 90% of the players chosen are probably a few third-year players and most being fourth year students between 22-23 years old. I’m pretty sure he is the only freshman on the team, which simply says what type of raw talent he has.”

After the tournament the best 23 players

in the country were selected for the All-Tournament Team at the Collegiate Rugby All Star National Shield Challenge and Seth Vallance was on that list.

With four years of university rugby ahead of him this is a player to watch. (Photos provided)
