Jock van die wapad pronk nou langs die N4 danksy geheime kunstenaar

MARLOTHPARK - Wie het al die mooi toevoegings tot die Jock of the Bushveld- wegaanwyser langs die N4 by die afdraai na Masgobe Lodge, naby die afdraai na Marlothpark, opgemerk? Die merker is sowat twee jaar gelede deur Mpumalanga Erfenis opgerig as een van die 38 historiese Jock Trek 1885-wegwysers om die roete van die ou transportpad vanaf Lydenburg na die see by Delagoabaai, vandag Maputo, aan te dui. Hierdie was dieselfde roete wat Jock en sy baas, Percy FitzPatrick, gevolg het tydens hulle jare saam op die wapad, en wat dien as agtergrond vir die bekende boek oor die hond en sy baas, Jock of the Bushveld. Hierdie Jock-merker is opgerig op die plek waar die ou waroete deur die Onderberg tussen Nelmapiusdrift deur die Krokodilrivier naby Hectorspruit en Furleysdrif deur die Komatirivier die N4 kruis. Die wegwyser is met die toestemming van die eienaar van Masgobe Lodge agter die heining opgerig. Aangenaam was die onlangse ontdekking dat daar nou ook ‘n prettige houtgesnede beeld van Jock by die merkers opgerig is, sê Marius Bakkes, ondervoorsitter van Mpumalanga Erfenis, ‘n geregistreerde erfenisbewaringsorganisasie. Dit gee verdere betekenis aan hierdie poging tot die bewaring van die erfenis van ons provinsie, en hy bedank die mense van Masgobe vir die gebaar. ‘n Mens wonder net wie is die kunstenaar van die oulike beeld, en dit sou gaaf wees om ‘n foto van die kunstenaar by sy skepping te neem, om ook hier in die koerant te plaas en in die Jock-argiewe te bewaar. Dit is hoe die geskiedenis lewendig gehou word en die opwinding en geheimsinnigheid van die verlede aan aan ‘n nuwe geslag Marius Bakkes, ondervoorsitter van Mpumalanga Erfenis, by die lewensgrote houtbeeldjie van Jock of the Bushveld. oorgedra word, sê Bakkes.

RM-439845NH 2 Corridor Gazette NEWS Thursday February 27, 2020 MM promises chamber action will commence Danienne Fritz KOMATIPOORT - Immediate action again followed the Komatipoort Business Chamber’s (KBC) letter of demand of February 7, which was hand delivered to the offices of the municipal manager and mayor. In the letter the chamber made it clear that it will invite private intervention and resort to higher levels of governance if further ignored. The chamber invited the municipal manager (MM), Daniel Ngwenya, and mayor, Johan Mkhatshwa, to a public meeting during which they can address the community regarding the current state of infrastructure and services in Komatipoort. The proposed date for this meeting is February 27. Corridor Gazette is in possession of a copy of the letter. The KBC’s letter was strongly worded, stating that “the requests from organised business and the residents to, at own cost, install cat eyes, repair roads, fill potholes, introduce signage, were categorically declined and we were assured that Nkomazi Local Municipality (NLM) would attend to all of these”, implying that that the chamber will continue to do the same if ignored by the municipality.
