Texting whilst driving
many people text while they are driving their vehicle. Please refrain from it and wait until you stop. Those few extra minutes might just save your life. Is answering a bbm, text or whatever you are busy on your cellphone with, more important than your family losing you, or being crippled in an accident? Besides, talking on a cell while driving is against the law how much more must it be to text whilst driving. Dont wait until it is too late: stop now!
Residents of Sabie, Pilgrims and Graskop, as well as visitors, please read this letter and wake up! It is something that despite the immense danger it holds, is rapidly on the increase - texting whilst driving. During the recent Sasol rally with such an influx of cars in our town, it was alarming to see how

My husband loves the new look and I feel like a new person. I have so much more energy and a zest for life, getting up in the morning looking forward to the day. Luchelle wants to encourage all the people struggling with their weight to start, just start. She said: Every day tell yourself that just for today, I am going to stick to the eating program and do it. After a while you will see the kilograms coming off and the clothes getting bigger. Losing weight and seeing how you body changes, really inspires me to lose more weight and to never pick it up again.

They relocated from Vereeniging 5 years ago. In an interview with GPS News, Luchelle said that she is just like other people that struggles with their weight, always had a weight problem, losing weight and picking up, never reaching target weight and maintaining it.

or several years hawkers at the Sabie Market Square have operated their businesses in temporary mobile structures that were unhygienic and not safe for business. On Thursday 18 April, more that ten women danced in jubilation when representatives from Sasol, in partnership with York Timber, handed them access to the new permanent stalls. Sasol, working together with York Timber, took the initiative to invest in community upliftment projects and constructed 20 permanent stalls as part of a micro-enterprise development in the Mpumalanga region. GPS News conducted a survey to find out the views from Sabie residents about the permanent stalls constructed at the Sabie Market Square. Nancy Fakude (43), one of the hawkers at the market square who has been working at the market for three years, says she couldnt wait for the building to be finished. Fakude said, My only concern is whether we will be able to use the stalls for free or if we must pay rent if we have to pay rental fees we wont be able to afford it. We have not been advised on how it is going to operate. She showed her humbleness and said that: Our main role as vendors is not only to sell food and crafts but also to assist tourists when they visit our site and offer them good service. Linah Dibakoane (53), a retired worker who recently opened a stall at the Sabie Market, is delighted to see that a well built market will be provided for them. I retired from work last year as advised by the doctor. However, I couldnt sit

Lulu Ngomane (51), said she started trading in 1983, but her only concern was that the space was too limited. I wish the space was bigger. However, we are thankful for the work that the companies have done. Given Khoza, an employee at Midnite Espresso, said that the manmade stalls constructed of plastic and timber were not attractive but the new building would attract customers and the place would look more organised and professional. Ayesha Lashee-Bhana, a Sabie resident for 13 years from Ayeshas Deli at Sabie Market Square, added that the project is an incredible idea. It will bring a more village-fresh market feel to Sabie and be a good tourist attraction. Sphiwe Mthethwa, a resident from Sabie town, added that the new market building will have a hygienic appearance the market will attract tourists and customers. Even surrounding businesses such as Spar will get more customers because the Sabie Market Square will appear as a welcome shopping area. The sponsors have outdone themselves by implementing this project. The local women are given a means to improve their businesses and to be able to make money so that they can provide for their families. Sonet Douglas, a resident from Sabie town, said that the new marketplace is more organised and neat. The place will draw more customers. Riccardo Carbone, an employee at Sabie Kodak, said that The place looks more professional and the complex is very tidy. However, it would have been better if the market was built in a non-parking area where there was sufficient space. Nevertheless, the good thing is that the market is more visible where it is located. Randy Muller, a resident from Harmony Hill, said Sabie is a tourism area, a place that must attract tourists. The hawkers will be safe from storms now that there is shelter provided for them. The new building will serve as a commitment to empower the community as a way of easing poverty and unemployment.

Interestingly, once the small things are taken care of, they affect the big things, and then the tipping point is reached. Leaders should apply themselves cognitively to what their strategy, visions and future should be. If this is not what underpins the actions we take on a day-to-day basis, you will find yourself rudderless. People will not focus on what they should be doing, the chamber will do what the municipality is supposed to do, while the municipality will do (if we are lucky) what the chamber and/or the business sector is supposed to be doing. Importantly, local citizens should be active in their own development and environment. It must be established what holds this area together, and rally around that central point. On a personal level, what is your contribution to your town? Where are you?

asol Rally 2013 set off to misty conditions and light rain that made the first six stages in Sabie and Graskop exceptionally challenging for the teams on Friday 19 April. The event, marking its 22nd year, started on Friday in Sabie and finished on Saturday in Nelspruit. The Mpumalanga MEC of Culture, Sports and Recreation Sibongile Manana and Executive Mayor of Thaba Chweu Municipality Mike Ngcongwane were given an opportunity to wave a flag to start the race. Manana showed appreciation to Sasol for sponsoring and the event partners for staging the event in Mpumalanga as she acknowledged the great support that the rally brought to the province. The event creates an opportunity to improve the economy of the hosting towns and exposes the world to the tourism opportunities and beauty of these towns, said Manana. The Sasol Rally has been a noticeable event for the past 22 years to the people of Sabie and Graskop. Even though the rainy weather conditions were a big factor during the event, locals and people from all around arrived in great numbers to be part of the excitement of the special stage at Sabie Market Square on Friday evening. The street was crowded, with people standing next to the circuit watching the emblazoned racing cars. Reigning SA champions Mark Cronj and Robin Houghton achieved the best stage time of 1 minute 15.5 seconds. As the race continued, the
weather conditions worsened, with mist and rain that required competitors to use special driving techniques. The bad weather caused the last two gravel stages in the Hedriksdal area to be cancelled for safety reason. Cronj and Houghton, who were also the 2012 Sasol Rally winners, this year again triumphed in their all-wheel drive S2000 Ford Dealer Team Fiesta. Second overall were former World Rally Championship contenders Mark Wilson and Chris Patterson of the UK, also driving a Ford Fiesta. Leeroy Poulter and Elvne Coetzee came in third in their Castrol Team Toyota Yaris. The Sabie rally team of Nick and Patricia Theunissen won the Sasol Rally S16 class in their BMW.

Save power
With the electricity prices escalating substantially every year, a lot of households are battling to carry the high living costs on their current income. GPS News spoke to Van Wyks Plumbing in Sabie enquiring how the readers can save on their electrical bills. Their suggestion was to install a domestic heat pump. A domestic heat pump is a very efficient water heating device meant to save electricity and costs. It uses a small amount of electricity to produce up to 4 times more heat energy. By connecting a heat pump to your existing hot water cylinder you can divide your hot water electrical consumption by 4. Unlike solar, a heat pump is not directly dependant on the sun and therefore it can operate day and night, winter and summer ensuring you the highest possible saving and piping hot water 24/7. Heat pumps have been around for decades (some of the hostels at Stellenbosch University for example have used heat pumps for hot water for more than 25 years), and is very widely used in Europe for central heating systems. Their popularity has however increased drastically due to the increase in the price of electricity in the recent years. How does a heat pump work? A heat pump works like an air conditioning unit in reverse. It extracts heat from the ambient air surrounding it, enabling it to beat the refrigerant which is then compressed causing it to get even hotter. This is then run through a heat exchange where this energy is drawn off to heat the water and then the refrigerant is allowed to expand again, thus cooling it down and enabling it again to absorb heat from the surrounding air. So electricity is only used to run a fan and compressor and the heat energy is provided indirectly by the sun. The most excellent news is the following: A rebate on installation costs is available, but only by following the guidelines and strict adherence to the criteria, will make you eligible for the rebate. The good news is that we have a local qualified installer Van Wyks Plumbing, Plant & Handyman Services that can assist you with obtaining and installing this energy saving device. For more details, see the advert on the front page.

The condition of unbearable street potholes still remains a crisis in Sabie and this has led to many complaints coming from Sabie residents. However, Pastor Roy Roach from the Mountain of the Lord Ministries is one of the residents living in Mount Anderson who decided to eradicate this crisis. Roach and other residents are exposed on a daily basis to driving over the same potholes that could cause premature damage to their cars, and endanger the lives of people who use the road. I became concerned about the danger that the potholes could cause. I collected stones and sand, bought cement and filled up the potholes at the corner of Anaboom and Milkwood Street, said Roach. It appears that the potholes were approximately half a meter deep and 5 meters wide, which could cause a lot of damage. Although fixing the potholes is the Thaba Chweu municipalitys responsibility, Roach said there is a role that each person can play in the community rather than pointing fingers at others. Its unproductive to sit on the sideline, criticize and do nothing. As residents we must start doing something to make a positive change. The fixing of the potholes has sparked such a positive feeling. Some grateful residents have donated cement to Roach so that he can continue with his good work.

Pastoor Antonie en Lizelle Nortje saam met Joy-Mari en Elraine.

astoor Antonie en Lizelle Nortje is sedert Maart die nuwe leeraarspaar van die Volle Evangelie Kerk in Sabie. Hulle is al nege jaar getroud en is voltyds in die bediening. Die egpaar het twee dogtertjies: JoyMari (5) en Elraine (3). GPS Nuus het Antonie gevra hoe dit gebeur het dat hy besluit het om n pastoor te word, en waar sy liefde vir die evangelie vandaan kom. Hy het geantwoord: In Jesajsa 61 word daar genoem van die Gees van die Here wat op ons is, ons word gesalf om die evangelie te verkondig, die kerk skoon te maak. Antonie het volgens hom in sy lewe n tyd lank grondpad gery, bedoelende dat dinge moeilik gegaan het en dat hy nie in die wil van God geleef het nie. Hy het in 2003 by n sekuriteitsmaatskappy gewerk en is na n voorval by die Volle Evangelie Kerk in Vanderbijlpark uitgeroep. Dit was n vals
delik om die gesin met die Here se hulp aanmekaar te hou. N die uitnodiging om in Sabie te kom preek, het die egpaar na Winklespruit ATKV met vakansie gegaan, en terwyl Antonie een oggend op die strand sit, afgesonder vir stiltetyd, en om wysheid met die groot besluit vra, kom n man wat hy glad nie ken nie, met n profetiese woord na hom. Die man s: Die Here gaan jou na n klein dorpie stuur wat welgeplaas is met onvrugbare water (geestelik bedoel), en God gaan julle gebruik om n verskil in die dorp te maak. Oor die opmerkings van sommige mense oor die geskiedenis van die gemeente en die vraag wat ge-
stel is: En hoe lank gaan jy by die gemeente hou? antwoord Antonie net rustig: So lank dit Sy wil is. Daar word vir vanjaar baie kursusse vir die gemeente beplan en dit sal in die GPS Nuus se sosiale kalender geadverteer word. Van die onderwerpe wat behandel gaan word, is gees-dinamiese lewe, karakter-sielsrestourasie, heerskappy en vryheid, fisieke genesing en so meer. Antonie en Lizelle wil die inwoners van Sabie hartlik bedank vir die manier waarop hulle in die dorp ontvang is en nooi die gemeenskap uit om te kom kennis maak en n koppie koffie of tee te kom drink.

TOWN
BIE
OF THE
15
YEAR
have noticed a distinct petulance when it is mentioned that we are town of the year, there are mutterings about potholes and municipal strikes and the absence of shops and no variety inside the few shops that do exist, but allow me to tell you why I think that Sabie deserves to be the town of the year of 2013. It struck me as I was riding down the main street. Sabie only has two main streets and the one street is named Main Street and the other one is named Main Road. I think it was so named just to confuse the tourists and to provide extra entertainment as it were. The entertainment is actually for the benefit of the citizens living in the town but that is another story for another day, and I digress. The thought that struck me was triggered by two women that were strolling past each other on the pavement. When they saw one another their faces lit up and they greeted one another effusively and hugged with delight. I reflected
that this is not an unusual occurrence in this town. I arrived in this town eight years ago and when I arrived I was not a hugger, I was more of a nodder I would nod when I saw someone I knew. This town has made me a reformed hugger. In the eight years I have come to know so many people, and the thing that strikes me the most is how much people care about each other here. I have lived in other small towns and indeed there is always more of a bond with those around one, merely because when one goes out one is sure to meet at least three couples that one knows, but in Sabie everyone generally seems to accept one another without judgment or animosity. Like any other small town there is always great excitement when anyone receives a speeding fine, or has a baby, or tosses up his job, and people talk about it for days and surmise any dark deep undermining reason for things and some predict the future and often they
pronounce that it is going to be rather bleak, but it blows over and soon we relax and look for new excitement. By the way, the ones that forecast the most dire futures are often the ones that rally round when it is truly needed. The other day I was in our local supermarket and it always makes me think of the markets of yesteryear when all the housewives went out and bought their fresh produce of the day it was the highlight of the day for most of these women in those times as they generally caught up with their friends and exchanged gossip and advice, and there lo and be-
hold there was someone crying and about three or four women around her all comforting and reassuring and touching, and a little later I saw her in the queue next to me, comforted and secure in the knowledge that there were those that cared about her. Ah, yes, I thought, that is what Sabie town of the year is all about! We tend to call shops by their owners names instead of the actual shops name, so that someone local would generally say to another local: I will meet you at Kerrys, and then lets go to Elmaries and everyone will know exactly what one is talking about. One feels comfortable and safe and most of all one feels loved and accepted, and after all that is what most of us humans strive for at the end of the day. I will conclude by saying that to me that is why we deserve town of the year. Yes, there are potholes awful ones, and there are municipal strikes, but we have a wonderful local company taking care of the refuse, and yes, there are few shops in Sabie, but the people here are unsurpassed for their goodness and kindness and generosity. I, for one, feel privileged to live in Sabie town of the year 2012!

Christopher Jennings (22), the son of proud parents Julie (56) and David Jennings (63) from Sabie, is taking his cycling career beyond international boarders. Jennings, a professional cyclists, is one of only two South Africans cyclists riding for the La Pomme Marseille international team in France. From 17th to 21st of April, Jennings and his La Pomme Marseille team-mates took part in the South African inaugural Mzansi Tours fivestage event that carried a 2.2 International Cycling Union (UCI) grading and hosted both South African and international teams. Jennings is known among cycling fans all over the world for his outstanding achievements. He was the first South African junior cyclist to win a UCI-rated race. He is a former National Junior Road Race Champion of South Africa, represented South Africa in the under-23 World Road Race Championships in Copenhagen in 2012, and best remembered as the winner of the Scotland 2012 Davie Bell Memorial race. The Mzansi Tour race started on the border of the Kruger National Park and finished at the Montecasino entertainment complex in Johannesburg. The race was scheduled to pass through Hazyview, Sabie, White River, Nelspruit, Lydenburg, Dullstroom, Belfast, Middelburg and Witbank. Due to Sabies main road blocked for the preparation of the Sasol Rally 2013 event, the Mzansi tour race route had to be rearranged, which meant that Sabie cycling fans missed out on the race.
