Hope doppies vir ‘wiele’ Die Laerskool Vastrap se Graad Een-leerders het onlangs, net soos met die Waternoodprojek aan die Wes-Kaap vroeg verlede jaar, in nog ‘n besondere uitreikprojek skoonskip gemaak. Dié uiters verdienstelike projek waarin daar gepoog is om soveel as moontlik plas� ekproppies van koeldrank- en melkbo� els te herwin, is onder leiding van mev Heleen Bezuidenhout van stapel gestuur en met groot sukses afgehandel. Deur middel van projekkoördineerder, Elanie Beukes van Rustenburg, is daar onlangs na ‘n massiewe poging nie minder nie as 196 kg se plas� ekproppies (nagenoeg 71 480 proppies) ingesamel wat aan die Sweetheart Founda� on oorhandig gaan word. Dié s� g� ng skenk ‘n gra� s rolstoel aan ‘n minderbevoorregte persoon in ruil vir elke 450 kg plas� ekproppies wat ingesamel word. Die skenking is verlede week tydens ‘n kort seremonie aan Elanie Beukes oorhandig. Op die foto hierbo tydens die skenking verskyn Lize� e en Elanie Beukes saam met mev Melanie van Zyl se graad een-klas, wat 77kg ingesamel het: Emsie Bouwer, Tenieke Buck, Sharmoné Coetzee, FJ de Kock, Lientjie Engelbrecht, Andries Joubert, Minay Kloppers, Marthinus le Roux, Logan Lindeque, Jeneve Minnie, Keathan Schaap, Mar� n Stander, Chezelle Stokes, Mia Theart, Katelynn Theron, Aiden van Buuren, Clayton van Geems, Chris� aan van Vuuren, Ashleigh von Moltke en Layla Vorster.

They practiced 2 – 4 hours in the mornings learning the RAD syllabus with their RAD teacher Mrs Anel Burger and spent lots of extra hours again in the evening learning their modules and working through provided assignments with the help from their mentors Mrs Annelle Botha and Mrs Nasha Marais. They went to the RAD’s Intensive Study Period (ISP) for 10 days at the RAD headquarters in Bramley, Johannesburg. The ISP started on 19 August and ended on 28 August 2019. Botle and Calvin stated that they met with other students from both national and international. These students were very supportive and very encouraging as they were working together and helping one another. In the 10 days that they spent at the ISP, they learned a lot and improved a lot with their technique, communication and physical demonstration. It helped them grow as both students and teachers. Happy Feet Ballet is proud with their progress and want to wish them success in their ballet studies. Botle Mphulanyane.

Wag, Rassie werk met ‘n plan... RUSTENBURG HERALD - RUSTENBURG - Saterdag se wedstryd teen die All Blacks was nie waarop Suid-Afrikaanse rugby-ondersteuners gehoop het nie. Maar miskien is daar ‘n paar positiewe punte waarmee ons onsself kan opbeur. Punt nommer een: Die All Blacks gaan waarskynlik twee keer teen die Springbokke moet wen om die Wêreldbeker te kan verower; die Springbokke gaan net eenkeer die All Blacks hoef te wen om die trofee huis toe te bring. Punt nommer twee: Het die Springbokke Saterdag die wedstryd wél teen die All Blacks - en die eenogige Franse skeidsregter - gewen, sou ons die groep gewen het en dus waarskynlik later teen Engeland moes speel. Nou behoort ons tweede in die groep te eindig en sal ons heel moontlik teen Wallis te staan kom - wat ‘n effens makliker wedstryd behoort te wees. Punt nommer drie: Suid-Afrikaners is gek daaroor om mense se verwagtinge te oortref. Gevolglik kan die Springbokke geskiedenis maak deur die eerste span te word wat níé hul groep gewen het nie wat die Wêreldbeker verower. Dié naweek speel die Springbokke teen Namibië. Niemand verwag dat dit veel van ‘n uitdaging vir die manne in Groen en Goud te wees nie - maar kom ons onthou net vir ‘n oomblik wat in 2015 teen Japan gebeur het. Geen Wêreldbekerwedstryd behoort as ‘n vanselfsprekende oorwinning gesien te word nie. Ja, ons kon nou bekostig om die eerste wedstryd te verloor, dit is nie die einde van die wêreld nie, maar ons kan nie ‘n tweede een deur ons vingers laat glip nie. Ons kan dus net hoop dat ons skrumskakel nie weer ‘n Faf-op maak met sy boks-skoppies nie en dat ons heelagter geoefen het om hoë balle te vang. Ons kan hoop dat Mapimpi nie so gefrustreerd raak omdat hy nie ‘n bal kry nie - as gevolg van Faf se boks-skoppies - dat hy nie negatief speel nie en ons hoop dat manjefieke Kolbe homself propvol Jungle Oats eet sodat hy net so giftig op verdediging kan wees as wat hy op aanval is. Die wedstryd teen Namibië skop Saterdagoggend (28 September) om 11:45 af.

Cheslin Kolbe (Foto: The South African) Kiek ‘n ‘selfie’, wen ‘n Boktrui Bykans die hele Suid-Afrika is oorgehaal vir die Wêreldbeker wat verlede naweek begin het. Die opwinding - en afwagting - is byna tasbaar met Springbokondersteuners wat al klaar partytjies begin reël vir wanneer ons manne in die finaal gaan speel. Wat gaan die finaal beter maak as om te kan sien hoe Siya Kolisi die Webb Ellis- trofee omhoog hou? Dit gaan selfs beter wees as jy dit in jou eie, amptelike Springbok-ondersteunerstrui kan kyk! Die Rustenburg Herald gee lesers die geleentheid om presies só ‘n trui te kan wen. Om in te skryf is baie eenvoudig: Neem ‘n ‘selfie’ wat wys hoe jy die Springbokke ondersteun, besoek die webwerf - www.rustenburgherald.co.za - en kliek op die SA Rugby- skakel en laai jou foto op. Deelname is heeltemal gratis. Die sluitingsdatum 26 September. 50 geregistreerde deelnemers se foto’s sal na willekeur gekies word om agter op die Springbokke se wedstrydtruie te pryk. En natuurlik sal een deelnemer ‘n amptelike replika Springboktrui wen.
