Vat my hande dat ek opstaan vir my volk – inskrupsie van ‘n indrukwekkende grafsteen in Pretoria-Wes

In die Nuwe Kerkhof in Pretoria-Wes (Rebeccastraat) staan ’n indrukwekkende grafsteen – ’n massiewe rotsblok waarop die veelseggende inskripsie aangebring is: Vat my hande dat ek opstaan vir my volk Dit is die laaste rusplek van een van Suid-Afrika se bekendste, maar ook een van die mees omstrede krygsmanne, generaal Manie Maritz. Salomon (Manie) Gerhardus Maritz is op 26 Julie 1876 in Kimberley gebore. Op 19-jarige ouderdom het hy na Johannesburg verhuis; vanweë sy vrywillige diens aan die Republiek met die Jameson-inval is aan hom die burgerregte van die Zuid-Afrikaansche Politie (ZARP) toegeken en met die uitbreek van die Anglo-Boereoorlog sluit hy hom as manskap by die Boksburg-kommando aan, om veral in Natal diens te doen. Maritz was ’n kort, bonkige man wat oor buitengewone liggaamskrag beskik het. Sy moed en dryfkrag het hom ’n gedugte teenstander gemaak. Hy het ’n rustelose geaardheid en ’n haastige humeur gehad wat hom baie vyande besorg het, maar sy patriotis…

Oudste persoon ter wêreld in Pretoria te ruste gelê

Die “wêreld se oudste persoon” is op Saterdag 10 Junie in Pretoria begrawe nadat sy verlede week in die ouderdom van 134 oorlede is. Volgens die Gautengse departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling het dié bejaardevrou, Johanna Rametsi, van Hammanskraal in die verre noorde van die stad, die oudste persoon in die wêreld geword nadat die Indonesiër Saparman Sodimejo in April vanjaar in die ouderdom van 146 oorlede is. “Gogo Rametsi is op 1 Januarie 1883 in Krugersdorp aan die Wes-Rand gebore. Sy word oorleef deur twee van haar 16 kinders – haar dogters Wilhelmina Phiri (97) en Ouma Thema (79). Sy het 78 kleinkinders en 247 agterkleinkinders,” het die departement gesê.

Free Wi-Fi in Pretoria still on, for now

A project to roll out free Wi-Fi in Pretoria is back on track, despite the Auditor General having raised concerns about it under the previous administration, a city official said on Thursday. "While this city government may not have conceived of free Wi-Fi, our aim is to perfect it," mayoral committee member for corporate services, Cilliers Brink, told reporters in Centurion. The Auditor General red-flagged R180m that had been spent on the project as unlawful and irregular expenditure, Democratic Alliance mayor Solly Msimanga said after his first 100 days in office. During a meeting with the AG in May, it emerged that the project, called "TshWi-Fi", was being paid for with grant funding meant for non-profit organisations and charities. The non-profit company linked to the deal was called Project Isizwe. The city spent months negotiating with Project Isizwe, under extremely difficult circumstances for both parties, Brink said. Amended contract The outcome was that the cont…

Neighbourhood watch makes Garsfontein safer – Get involved in your neigbhourhood

If people do not get involved, Garscom can’t be sustainable. Pretoria east is the “wild wild west no more” following the efforts of Garscom, Chubb and the police. Vice chairperson of neighbourhood watch, Garscom, Herklaas Meyer attributed the decline in crime in the area to proactive action. He said the area north of Solomon Mahlangu Drive, west of Woodlands and south of Atterbury Road was now patrolled regularly by Garscom, Chubb and the police. “A proactive 24/7 action makes criminals uncomfortable,” said Meyer. Garsfontein Police spokesperson, Captain Ilze Jones confirmed that crime was now under control in this area. Meyer said Garscom’s aim going into the next year would be to get more people involved. “We want a larger community involvement to be established. We have appointed two women who goes from street to street arranging street meetings to get people involved. Every street also has a Whatsapp group. Existing community projects will go ahead. These projects inclu…

Waar om te woon in Pretoria, die stad met die grootste blanke bevolking in Afrika!

Waar om te woon in Pretoria, die stad met die grootste blanke bevolking in Afrika! “Soort soek soort” is ‘n onteenseglike feit en die basis van gemeenskap self. Ja, gemeenskap is 'n rasse konstruk, nie andersom soos die wêreld oorheersers probeer stel. Pretoria het ‘n reputasie vir die feit dat dit ‘n akademiese stad is met drie universiteite en die Wetenskaplike en Nywerheidsnavorsingsraad (WNNR) geleë in die oostelike voorstede. Die stad huisves ook die Suid-Afrikaanse Buro vir Standaarde en dit maak die stad ‘n middelpunt vir navorsing. Ongelukkig is een van die nadele hiervan dat al die jeug in die stad, wat onderworpe is aan die sosialistiese breinspoeling en marxisme vanuit die Universiteite, is soms die vyand van die volk. Ons noem nie eers die dalende standaard van onderwys nie… Na meer as twee dekades sukkel die ANC regime en swart oorheersers nog steeds on kreatiewe manier te vind om ons te forseer om te integreer, en volksmoord teen ons te pleeg, maar soos die kaar…

Beurtwater vir Pretoria?

Pretorianers sal hulle dalk tog moet staal vir beurtwater. Burgemeester Solly Msimanga het inwoners van die hoofstad gevra om dringend heelwat meer water te bespaar. Hy sê dis nodig om te verhoed dat die stad se waterinfrastruktuurstelsel in duie stort. eNCAeNUUS Die Nuus in Afrikaans – Koerant.co.za – Gratis Afrikaanse Nuus Related PostsAfriforum given until […]
