Die Voorsittervereniging (VV) op Louis Trichardt het op Maandag, 23 November, ‘n nuwe bestuur verkies.

The Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza, said agriculture played a very big role in the economy of South Africa. She was speaking during an interactive session with farmers, interested individuals and other stakeholders at Musina last Friday.

Alhoewel die 40-jarige Frans Vermaak van Louis Trichardt terug is by die huis ná hy op 2 November met Guillain-Barré-sindroom gediagnoseer is, lê daar vir hom nog ‘n lang pad van herstel voor.

Nou en dan sien mens plasings op sosiale media van mense wat hulself oor klein uiltjies ontferm het wat blykbaar uit hulle neste geval het. Volgens plaaslike uilkenner Pietman Muller van Levubu moet mense egter nie dié uiltjies optel en self probeer groot maak nie.

Menige motoris het hulle óf doodgeskrik óf het skade aan hulle motors opgedoen toe hulle niksvermoedend oor die nuwe spoedhobbels in Leeustraat, Louis Trichardt, gery het. Asof uit die niet het hierdie twee hobbels tussen Bauhinia- en Tshirululunistraat verskyn.

Poor service delivery at government institutions is something that residents of Louis Trichardt have been fighting against for so many years now that they have long since accepted it with resignation.

Many unsung heroes reside in our community, such as those involved with the IsAbility Limpopo Sports Club. They are quietly making a huge difference in the lives of local people living with disabilities.

The Louis Trichardt SPCA’s annual auction fundraiser on 6 November was a night to remember, especially for the local SPCA, who managed to almost triple the amount they were expecting to raise.

A long road to recovery still lies ahead of well-known local environmental activist and Soutpansberg resident Wally Schultz after he suffered a massive stroke on 30 October.
