SENWES SCENARIO | WINTER 2019 01 GENERAL COLUMN From the Word Editor's letter To lack nothing… Rev Willie Botha To elect someone Read: Psalm 23 Farming is the oldest occupation that we know of. In the old for your fish tank times a shepherd moved from one grazing-ground to the next. There were no fences as we know it today and the movement of a shepherd and his herd was unlimited. The result was that o elect someone to lead the country and agriculture in herds constantly competed for grazing and water. In a dry the country, must be one of the most important tasks country this was understandable. Another problem was that out there. livestock could be mixed up quite easily. However, this was not really a problem since the shepherds knew their livestock so We hear so often that one has to know in which fish tank T well that they could easily identify their own. The sheep usually you are swimming. Well, during the recent 2019 South African recognised their shepherd's voice and would spontaneously national election in May, our citizens formed part of the 26,7 follow him.

The contemporary farmer also has to take unfavourable eco- nomic and political conditions into account. Aubrey Kruger Psalm 23 talks about the Farmer of all farmers. He perfectly EDITOR guides His sheep. Only He can lay claim to the fact that His herds want for nothing. His sheep can follow Him with total peace of mind because He provides the best grazing and safe waters to drink from. He leads them on the best paths and He is the only one who can give them new strength. He protects them in the most dangerous places, in the shadow of death. The fortunate sheep referred to in Psalm 23, are us. We, who can testify of eternal care and grace. Of safe waters and abun- dant grazing. Of carrying us through droughts and listening to our prayers for rain. And a Shepherd who is willing to lay down His life for us… 02 SENWES SCENARIO | WINTER 2019 Pieter & Tshepo GENERAL IN SHORT 110 birthday thank yous from Senwes Scenario In the previous Senwes Scenario edition a number of agri-companies congratula ted Senwes on its 110th birthday.

    Report Hoekpan Eden Fauresmith Diamond

    10 SEPTEMBER 2014 FIRST PHASE ARCHAEOLOGICAL & HERITAGE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED DIAMOND PROSPECTING AT HOEKPAN 942 & EDEN 893 NEAR PETRUSBURG, IN THE FAURESMITH DISTRICT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY De Beers Exploration is planning to do diamond prospecting at the farms Hoekpan 942 and Eden 893, about 4km south west of Petrusburg in the Fauresmith district, Free State. The proposed land lies in a relatively level area on the edge of a pan. The prospecting will be done on 35ha of partly cultivated land. Although the farms Hoekpan 942 and Eden 893 are located in a cultural and heritage rich area, no historical finds of significance were discovered. A small collection of heavily patinated Middle Stone Age flakes and flaked cores occur around the pan. The stone artefacts appear to be very old and seem to be a fairly general occurrence in the specific area. The flakes are considered as insignificant for closer investigation. No other cultural remains were found. It is assumed that the prospecting will have no major impact on the cultural heritage and historical environment at Hoekpan 942 and Eden 893. Further planning of the proposed project may continue and no mitigation measures will be needed. INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION Scope and Limitations De Beers Exploration is planning diamond prospecting at the farms Hoekpan 942 and Eden 893, about 4km south west of Petrusburg in the Fauresmith district. The prospecting work will cover a 35ha portion of land. De Beers Exploration commissioned the archaeological and heritage assessment. 2 The investigation provided the opportunity to examine the site. The soil surface consists of undisturbed grass-covered open veld with a scatter of Prosopis trees.
