JAMMERTE DAT KIESERS NIE STEMME UITBRING, SĘ VF+
Die Vryheidsfront Plus het in die munisipale verkiesing daarin
geslaag om drie raadslede in die KOSH-gebied verkies te kry.
Volgens `n persverklaring is raadslid Sarel Botes en raadslid
Ryk van Jaarsveld proporsioneel verkies tot die stadsraad van
Matlosana. Raadslid Marinus Leschinsky is weer tot die Suidelike
Distriksmunisipaliteit verkies.
Uit die sewe partye wat in die stadsraad verteenwoordig word,
beklee die Vryheidsfront Plus nou die derde posisie. Volgens die
verklaring was daar 'n groei van 1,23% in die steun vir die VF
Plus sedert die vorige verkiesing.
Die VF Plus het drie raadslede verkies gekry in teenstelling
met net een raadslid in die vorige verkiesing. Dit dui op groei
vir die VF Plus. Uiteraard sou ons beter wou gedoen het, maar
die kiesers se demokratiese keuses word deur die VF Plus
gerespekteer. As in ag geneem word dat die VF Plus in 2000 slegs
twee raadslede in die hele Noordwes verkies kon kry, en nou
veertien, dui dit op beduidende groei vir die VF Plus, het mnr.
Pieter Groenewald (LP), provinsiale leier van die Vryheidsfront
Plus in Noordwes gesę.
Groenewald het verder gesę dat dit jammer is dat baie kiesers
verkies het om nié te stem nie. Hierdeur verloor die betrokke
kiesers hulle seggenskap en inspraak op die besluite van die
stadsraad. Indien 'n persoon nie gestem het nie, kan die persoon
nie kla as eiendomsbelasting of dienste tariewe uitermate
verhoog word nie. Die rede is dat so persoon sy demokratiese reg
om inspraak te verkry, verbeur het. Die VF+ sal sy ondersteuners
wat vir hom gestem het, nou beter kan bystaan met probleme en ek
wil hulle bedank vir hulle voortgesette ondersteuning.

Schools Delighted By Trust
A number of special schools were blessed on the past weekend
when the National Sports Trust donated cricket kits for sports
development in these schools. In his heart warming speech, Mr
Sandile Sayedwa from the Trust said that the main aim in their
projects is to supply less privileged children with sports
equipment. He said that any child who is given a ball to play
with, will soon flatten the ground and play a game. For this
reason, the National Sports Trust aims to provide as many as
possible rural and farm schools with the necessary sports
equipment.
The Coordinator of Differently Abled Cricket in the North West,
Ms Louise Vorster said that the North West Cricket Association (NWCA)
is doing what they can in order to get disabled cricket a part
of mainstream cricket. They are currently offering assistance by
means of coaching. They will continue to do so and expand the
number of institutions in the coaching program, but there are
sometimes financial difficulties and a shortage of assistance
for disabled cricket. Ms Vorster is involved with ladies'
cricket, which is also one of the projects of NWCA.
Rural cricket in the North West is getting a boost with Mr
Ismail Minty on the head of affairs. As general manager
stationed in Lichtenburg, he is adamant to see to it that sports
are developed at the rural and farm schools in the area.
Children in less privileged areas have a need for sporting
equipment and coaching, and it is the aim of the North West
Cricket Association to not only identify these schools, but to
also develop and assist them in their cricketing needs. |
