Tensions are running high in Ngaka Modiri Molema, Lehurutshe, Welbedacht, and surrounding areas in Zeerust, North West, as residents take to the streets to demand the restoration of their water supply. The protests, which blocked the N4 highway linking South Africa and Botswana, are set to continue until the Premier personally addresses their grievances. Residents are frustrated with what they see as empty promises from previous premiers and are demanding urgent action. Elvis Presslin spoke to Executive Mayor of Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality, Khumalo Molefe, to discuss the situation

1840 was a leap year, and in November David Livingstone had left Britain for Africa. His story of exploration and commitment is extraordinary. While he would go on to become better known for his attempts at finding the source of the Nile River in east Africa, it was his formative phase of life at mission stations in southern Africa that we're interested in. Born on 19 March 1813 in Blantyre, Scotland, he was the second of seven children and employed at the age of ten in the towns' cotton mill. This was way before rules about these things, and this ten year-old worked twelve hours days as a piecer, who's job it was to lay broken cotton threads on the spinning machines. He was drawn to the teachings of local evangelist, Thomas Burke. He studied medicine, and then was ordained as a minister of the church at the Charing Cross Medical School. A chance meeting with south African Scots missionary Robert Moffat in London was to change his life. Moffat was running the London Missionary Society's station at Kuruman, and Livingstone asked him if he “would do for Africa” as in survive. “I said he would” Moffat wrote later, “if he would not go to an old station, but would advance to unoccupied ground, specifying the vast plain to the north where I had sometimes seen in the morning sun, the smoke of a thousand villages where no missionary had ever been…” Forgive my pathetic attempt at a Scots accent. Young David Livingstone was going to take that to heart over the next few decades and would become known as the greatest missionary in Africa, even though the truth is he converted only one person to Christianity. He left England for the Cape in November 1840, and spent most of his time on board studying Dutch and seTswana. Joining him on board was someone else we're going to hear quite a bit about in coming episodes, another LMS missionary called William Ross. You know how everything connects one way or another. So we have Livingstone and Ross sailing to southern Africa - imbued with the concepts of evangelical christianity with it's core message Influenced by revivalistic teachings in the United States, Livingstone entirely accepted the proposition put by Charles Finney, Professor of Theology at Oberlin College, Ohio, that "the Holy Spirit is open to all who ask it". For Livingstone, this meant a release from the fear of eternal damnation. And being an earnest young man, he felt that folks should hear about this. Initially he wanted to go to China, but the looming first Opium War led to the London Missionary Society directors deciding southern Africa was safer. Livingstone and Ross landed in Simon's Bay in March 1841 after a stop off in Brazil. Livingstone stayed at Dr Philip's home in Cape Town. Philip spoke quite a bit about how he believed in the policy that all people were equal before God and the law and Livingstone believed that too. Clearly then Livingstone was not going to be welcomed by the Boers and British settlers most of whom by now definitely did not believe this message. Livingstone sailed up the coast to Algoa Bay in May and then he took a two month ox-wagon trek along with William Ross to the Kuruman Mission. There he immersed himself in Tswana life and trekked more than a thousand kilometres to Mabotse in modern day Botswana which is near Zeerust. The Boers in Pietermaritzburg had gone through a combination of good and bad. In 1839 more than half a dozen people had died when a candle tipped over in one of the houses there, burning down 13. The blaze was made worse by the gunpowder stores in most of the houses, and the fire was so intense, it set fire to nearby wagons. Hendrick Potgieter based on the high veld had still not reconciled with Andries Pretorius - but things were about to change.

The locals in the South African village of Zeerust referred to the street gang comprised of young people as "the scum of the town."   They were homeless beggars, addicted to drugs, and engaged in crime.  But transformation came when a godly widow named Onica invited them to learn about Jesus.  Eventually, the mayor would visit this Bible study to find out what changed these young people and caused a drop in crime in their town.Join host Michael Woolworth and guest, Ben Setshwaelo, as they share the amazing story of Onica, who utilized two Bible League programs to impact her community.   Subscribe and invite someone to listen with you today.  Length: 17:05.  

It's time to delve deeply into the other Ndebele, then what happened when Mzilikazi arrived in the area known as the Trans Vaal - across the Vaal, with his hungry wolves. The development of the highveld to the late 1820s is quite a tale, with the first Tswana people made their way here by the 1100s, although much of the high ground was avoided. However, by the late 1600s, people had moved onto hilltop defensive locations through the region. Rooikrans for example, a small stone-walled Sotho, Tswana and Pedi site on the Waterberg plateau north west of the Witwatersrand. There was also a similar development at Bruma on the Linksfield Ridge right in the heart of Johannesburg. I used to walk up that slope from the back of my house and the original stone settlements had been frittered away by Boer and British defenders during the Anglo Boer war who used the 500 year-old Tswana stone to build Sangars and trenches. So over hundreds of years, the original peoples of the highveld moved about a great deal, sometimes living on hilltops, sometimes in the valleys depending on how politically stable it was. Oral tradition points out the Hurutshe founded the hill-top village of Chuenyane - also called Witkoppies, which is near Zeerust by the early 1500s. By the 17th Century, there was significant Tswana state growth in the west where it is warmer than around Johannesburg, with the rise of the Kwena and Kgatla dynasties, but these shattered in the 18th Century as trading power shifted north. If you've followed the series to this point, you'll remember the descriptions of the trading routes from Delagoa Bay and how they criss-crossed central southern Africa. There were even traders who arrived here from the West Coast, modern day Angola. By the end of the 17th Century, the transvaal Ndebele began to emerge - and by the 18th Century they were regarded as a separate people by the Sotho, Tswana and Pedi speakers. They became known as the Matabele, and they lived on the steepest hills where they built fortifications around the Waterberg plateau. The southern Trans Vaal Ndebele were spread over the Witwatersrand high veld adjoining the Drakensberg, up to where Pretoria is today and they were in this region by the end of the 17th Century. They all trace their history to a man known as Busi, and the dating of this man is around 1630-1670. Busi's son was called Tshwane, and that's why we know Pretoria area today as Tshwane - because that was its first name. Oral stories are a bit more murky when it comes to the northern trans vaal Ndebele, who settled west of the Waterberg Plateau in the 1500s. Some headed further west across the Limpopo to the Tswapong hills in eastern Botswana. While they were migrating north west, the other transvaal Ndebele called the LAka aka, Langa, and the Hwaduba, remained behind in the WAterberg plateau. These people clung onto their linguistic identity, they spoke an Nguni language, whereas the others to the west became Tswana, Sotho, and Pedi speakers. One man by the name of Mogale refused to dilute his language, and it is his name that morphed into the Magaliesberg - that wonderful and imposing steep and craggy range of mountains the west of Johannesburg. The very phrase sounds Afrikaans - Magalies, but it is actually an early Ndebele word from the 1500s. By Mzilikazi's time in the mid-1820s, there was significant jostling for territory and ascendancy around inland southern Africa. A series of small wars amongst the Tswana which have become known as the ivory and cattle and fur wars, and some known as the Wives wars, were on the go around this time.

In this week's episode, we discuss the concept of "zeerust" - how something that seemed futuristic in science fiction can become anachronistic and dated.

The ANC in North West has suspended membership of its 15 councillors at the Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality in Zeerust. The party accuses them of defying the caucus' instructions by removing their mayor and the speaker and electing their preferred candidates.

'n Padlangs Noordwes-artikelWat het gebeur?Maak enige geskiedenisboek oor die Anglo-Boereoorlog (1899-1902) oop en 'n mens lees sommer gou oor die drie beleerde Britse dorpe, nl. Kimberley, Mafeking en Ladysmith. Jy sal gelukkig wees om te lees van die minder bekende beleg van Elandsrivier wat plaasgevind het waar die dorpie van Swartruggens tans is.Selektiewe feite en temas is ʼn kwessie waarmee historici daagliks stoei. Indien so, waarom kry die beleg van Elandsrivier nie dieselfde aandag as die ander drie nie? Die aantal manskappe betrokke, die duur van die beleg en selfs die nasionaliteit van die troepe wat die beleg moes deurgaan, is genoeg redes waarom die beleg van Elandsrivier (ook bekend as Brakfontein) nie dieselfde aandag gekry het as die bogenoemde gevalle waar Britse magte beleër is nie. Kom ons kyk dan wat het hier gebeur, sodat onkunde nie langer meer koning kraai nie.Teen Augustus 1900 was lord Roberts in Pretoria. Vanuit die voormalige hoofstad moes hy Transvaal beheer en regeer totdat dit behoorlik by die res van die Britse Ryk kon inskakel.ʼn Doring in sy vlees was die Boerekommando's wat steeds te velde was en glad nie belang gestel het om oor te gee nie. Die kommando onder generaal Koos de la Rey dien as voorbeeld en het in daardie maand na ʼn teiken gesoek wat die Britse magte kon verras. Die roete van Pretoria na die hoofstad van die Britse Protektoraat van Betsjoeanaland, Mafeking, het deur Rustenburg en Zeerust geloop. Tussen hierdie dorpe moes konvooie beskerm word deur buiteposte wat deur Britse soldate (maak nie saak of hulle van Brittanje, Australië, Nieu-Seeland ens. gekom het nie) beman was. Een van hierdie buiteposte, wat redelik groot was in vergelyking met die ander in Groot-Marico en Zeerust, was by die Elandsrivier geleë. Die dorp Swartruggens het toe nog nie bestaan nie.Generaal De la Rey het gesien dat die Elandsrivierbuitepos maklik vanaf 'n afstand aangeval kon word. Die buitepos was omring deur die heuwels wat Swartruggens sy naam gegee het en grofgeskut kon die Britse troepe dae lank bombardeer sonder enige risiko. Generaal Christiaan de Wet was aan die begin van Augustus 1900 ook in Transvaal en wou weer terugkeer na die Vrystaat. Die Britse magte wou hom wel vastrek as gevolg van die aksies wat hy teen hulle geloods het in die Vrystaat. De la Rey moes die Britse magte se aandag aftrek deur ʼn aanval op ʼn buitepos, sodat hulle nie sou agterkom dat De Wet op pad terug was na die Vrystaat nie. Van 3 tot 16 Augustus 1900 het De la Rey die Elandsrivierbuitepos bestook met die grofgeskut wat hy gehad het en die Britse troepe moes hard probeer om te oorleef met wat hulle gehad het. Dit was soos die beleg van die Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, waar Amerikaanse troepe en vrywilligers hulself vir ʼn geruime tyd in ʼn onvoldoende fortifikasie moes verdedig, met die hoop dat hul redding van buite spoedig sou kom. Vir die Britse troepe by Swartruggens het die redding van buite nooit gekom nie. Roberts wou hulp stuur, maar het sy besluit verander as gevolg van die verkeerde aannames van ʼn lafhartige bevelvoerder genaamd Frederick Carrington.Padlangs gevindReg langs die N4 wanneer 'n mens weswaarts ry tot by die oostelike ingang van Swartruggens, is die historiese terrein van die beleg van Elandsrivier . Daar is geen padteken wat die afdraai aandui nie, maar as jy verby die pragtige NG Kerk gery het, het jy klaar die afdraai gemis. Gewoonlik staan die hekke oop omdat die plaaslike owerheid geen moeite doen om na die historiese terrein om te sien nie (daar is dus nie 'n hekwag nie).Dit is asof hulle dit letterlik aan die voëls van die hemel en die diere van die veld oorgelaat het om dit weer deel van die aarde te maak. Hoewel die skrywer nog nie enige haweloses daar teegekom het nie, is tog bewyse van nagtelike verblyf daar aangetref.. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

'n Padlangs Noordwes-artikelWat het gebeur?Die dorpie Zeerust (oorspronklik bekend as Coetzeerust) was eens die laaste dorpie in die noordweste van die ou ZAR (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek of Transvaal) voordat 'n mens die Britse protektoraat van Betsjoeanaland (Botswana) sou bereik het. In 1867 is die dorp gestig as gevolg van die handelinge van die plaaslike "grondbaron", Diederik Coetzee (1802-1891).Coetzee het die reg gehad om twee plase vir homself uit te lê soos Transvaal se eerste grondwet gestipuleer het. Elke Transvaalse burger wat die Groot Trek meegemaak het, kon twee plase vir homself opeis en ook ʼn erf in die naaste dorp. Coetzee het toe besluit om sy plase by die Klein-Maricorivier te gaan uitlê volgens sy eie afmetings. Die naaste dorpe aan hom sou Rustenburg of Potchefstroom gewees het, waar hy sy dorpserf kon hê. As gevolg van die dood van sy neef en swaer, Casper Coetzee, het Diederik Coetzee dit reggekry om vier plase op sy naam te registreer en die Transvaalse regering het eers ʼn dekade later ʼn bohaai daaroor gemaak. Hy is in 1866 ingelig dat hy van twee plase afstand moes doen, omdat hy wel geregtig was op twee (hy was immers deel van die Andries Potgieter-trekgeselskap). Coetzee het toe ʼn plan gemaak om munt uit die situasie te slaan. Hy het besluit om die plaas Hazenjacht te gebruik om ʼn dorp te stig wat sy naam sou dra. Sy oorlede neef wou ook 'n dorp op hierdie plaas uitgelê het en het selfs 'n ene Walter Seymore oorreed om 'n kerk en 'n fort op die plaas te bou, maar niks het van hierdie planne gekom nie. Waar Casper se drome geëindig het, het Diederik tot aksie oorgegaan.Net met osrieme toegerus, het Diederik Coetzee die erwe van sy beplande dorp uitgelê. Van 20 Maart 1867 af kon belangstellendes 'n erf in "Coetzee-rust" by die amptelike aangestelde verkoper in Potchefstroom koop en registreer.Diederik kon natuurlik die beste moontlike watererf in sy nuwe dorp vir homself toeëien. Hy het ook ʼn erf oorhandig aan die Hervormde Kerk en sodoende dit moontlik vir hom gemaak om sy nagmaal sommer so buite sy voordeur te kry, in plaas daarvan 'n lang reis na Potchefstroom te onderneem om die naaste kerk te besoek. Met die nuutgestigte dorp kon hy ook ʼn markplein skep sodat alles wat hy op sy ander twee plase sou verbou, verkoop kon word en hy persoonlik daaruit kon baat. Coetzee se storie bewys hoe ʼn probleem in 'n geleentheid omskep kan word. In sy geval was die eindresultaat die dorpie Zeerust.Padlangs gevindOp die N4 weswaarts en net voordat 'n mens oor die Klein-Maricorivier ry en dus Zeerust bereik, is die graf van Diederik Coetzee en sy broer Casper, en albei word as die dorpstigters van Zeerust erken. Daar is ʼn padteken aan die linkerkant van die snelweg wat die posisie van die graf aandui en genoeg spasie om af te draai en veilig stil te hou. Die ou familiebegraafplaas kan maklik gevind word sodra 'n mens deur die nou ingangspoortjie stap. In hierdie stadium is net drie grafstene leesbaar, waaronder die van Diederik en Casper, omdat ʼn erfeniskomitee sewentig jaar gelede oor die grafte van die dorpstigters besorgd was. Ongelukkig kan dieselfde nie gesê word van die hedendaagse plaaslike regering nie.Hierdie monument kan vergelyk word met die een vir Piet Potgieter in Makopane (die ou Potgietersrus) en die Andries Pretoriusgraf (in die heldeakker in Pretoria), waar historiese figure waarna die dorp vernoem is, in die dorp of distrik rus. Maar nie Potgieter of Pretorius het die spel gespeel soos Coetzee nie, wat as "grondbaron" ʼn dorpstigter geword het. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

General Jan Smuts is making merry in the Cape, trying to stoke uprisings, while Lord Kitchener's been more successful in clearing the Eastern Transvaal, forcing General Louis Botha to shift towards Vryheid and along the border between the Transvaal and Natal. General Christiaan de Wet is active in the Free State, while General Manie Maritz has continued his low level harassment of the British across the Free State and Cape. I haven't spent much time on Maritz mainly because there is not a great deal of documentation about exactly what he got up to on a daily basis – unlike the other generals we've been following for two years. He is also one of the most bigoted, warped and psychotic men who held a weapon during this terrible war who tended to lie quite a bit in his memoirs. During the Anglo-Boer war he was the only Boer General we know about took a great deal of pleasure in killing blacks instead of British. He seemed inclined to shoot all blacks he found. His most heinous act was lining up all 35 men of a Khoi village at the end of the war and shooting them down in cold blood in what became known as the Leliefontein Massacre. I will have more detail about this in later podcasts. Maritz evaded execution at war's end for what were really war crimes. After all, the Australian Breaker Morant the Australian was executed by the British for a similar spree as he went about executing at least a dozen Boers in cold blood. But back to 1902. General Koos de la Rey is also still free, roaming the veld in the far west of the Transvaal and he has been particularly successful around Rustenburg, Mafikeng, Marico, Zeerust and other smaller towns in the region. We will also hear about how Trek Boers ended up founding the Kenyan town of Eldoret. It was established by the Boers in the midst of the farms they created, and known by locals as Sisibo because of the main farm number 64 – or Sisibo in the local language. Sixty more Afrikaner families arrived in 1911, by then it had a post office and was officially named as Eldoret which continued to prosper. Eventually the railway line reached Eldoret in 1924 accelerating growth, then in 1933 electricity arrived along with an airport. By the 1950s the town was literally divided in two along the main street now called Uganda Road, with Afrikaners living in the north of the divide, and English speakers on the South.

'n Groep boere en ander inwoners van die gebied tussen Mahikeng en Zeerust in Noordwes voer 'n verbete stryd teen 'n mynmaatskappy wie se bedrywighede die omgewing kan skaad. Dit volg nadat die maatskappy Viturtrax planne bekend gemaak het om drie mynaanlegte in die omgewing te bedryf. Die gemeenskap sê die die bedrywighede gaan 'n sensitiewe vleilandgebied vernietig. Izak du Plessis berig.

Annerike Heyneke (9) van Laerskool Menlopark het tydens een van die landloopwedlope waaraan sy deelgeneem het, raakgesien dat daar atlete saam met haar hardloop wat nie een tekkies het nie. Hulle het nie eers ‘n stel klere van hulle eie gehad nie en moes tussen die hardloopitems die gehawende en flenter klere uittrek om vir die volgende een aan te gee. Dit is ‘n groep van 65 atlete van Modiba Olieven Atletiekklub in Olievenhoutbosch. Hulle word deur David Modiba afgerig wat 15 jaar gelede die klub geregistreer het. Toe hulle bietjie uitvra, het David vir Annerike en haar ma, Aneli vertel dat baie van hierdie behoeftige atlete Maandag tot Vrydag elke middag getrou kom oefen net omdat hy vir hulle kos gee by die oefening. So begin Annerike haar “Tekkie Buddies” projek om vir hierdie atlete tekkies in te samel, want sy wil sien dat hulle net so voluit kan deelneem aan die sport wat sy so geniet. Sy kon al 50 pare tekkies insamel en het by die laaste byeenkoms vir 30 atlete hulle inskrywingsfooie en vervoer betaal en ook ‘n kospakkie gegee met geld wat sy al ingesamel het. Intussen het Annerike en 27 van David se atlete die Gauteng-Noord landloopspan gehaal wat nou Saterdag, 16 Junie, op Jeugdag in Zeerust gaan deelneem aan die Interprovinsiale byeenkoms. Danksy ons vriende van SPAR en spesifiek Jacques van Monumentpark SuperSPAR, kon ons vanoggend vir elkeen van die atlete ‘n cool bag met padkos gee vir die naweek se reis na Zeerust ter waarde van R2800! En as deel van ons #blikkiesenbaadjies Winterprojek, kon ons, met komplimente van Christien van den Berg van Cotton dot Co, vir elkeen van David se 65 atlete ‘n splinternuwe baadjie skenk ter waarde van R14 500! #Jeugdag #FindYourWingz

Die amptelike nasionale Versoeningsdagvieringe vind vandag in Gopane naby Zeerust in Noordwes plaas. Hoe ver het Suid-Afrika se versoeningsprojek tot nou gevorder?

President Jacob Zuma's reconciliation speech has been left blowing in the wind after the marquee tent he was speaking from at Zeerust in North West was blown over by a freak storm. The incident happened on the spot where Zuma was arrested by apartheid security forces in 1963. Zuma was whisked off by his bodyguards when the tent was ripped to pieces as the president was midway through his key-note address at Gopane
