Die rugbyseisoen begin amptelik hierdie naweek, en Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub se veld gaan die toneel wees vir die eerste aksie van die jaar. Op 8 Maart 2025 pak beide die vroue- en manspanne hul opponente in wat beloof om ‘n dag vol harde lopies, groot duikslae en passievolle spel te wees. Vroue Rugby: Liga-aksie teen Impala Die vroue-rugbyspan van Potchefstroom begin hul seisoen met ‘n liga-wedstryd teen Rustenburg Impala Rugby Club om 12:00. Hierdie wedstryd sal ‘n vroeë aanduiding gee van waar die span staan in hul voorbereidings vir die res van die seisoen. Met Impala wat bekend is vir hul fisieke spel en goed-georganiseerde aanvalle, sal dit interessant wees om te sien hoe Potch se vroue hierdie uitdaging aanpak. Mans Rugby: Sterkte Toets vir 1stes en 2des teen Elsburg Later in die dag sal die manspan hul staal wys in vriendskaplike wedstryde teen Elsburg Rugby Club. Hoewel hierdie wedstryde nie liga-punte op die spel het nie, dien dit as ‘n belangrike geleentheid vir spanne om hul kombinasies te toets en ritme te bou vir die komende seisoen. • 14:00 – 2des vs Elsburg • 16:00 – 1stes vs Elsburg • Elsburg se rugbyklub het oor die jare ‘n reputasie opgebou as ‘n span wat nooit maklik ‘n wedstryd prysgee nie, wat beteken dat Potch se spanne hul beste sal moet lewer. Meer as Net Rugby: ‘n Gesinsvriendelike Dag Vir dié wat nie net vir die rugby kom nie, is daar ook vermaak vir die jongspan, met ‘n springkasteel wat opslaan word – mits die weer dit toelaat. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations Belangrike Reëls vir die Dag • Toegang beloop R10 per persoon (ouderdom 13+) • Geen eie alkohol of koelhouers word toegelaat nie • Die klubhuis en kombuis sal oop wees vir verversings Respek vir die Spel en Sy Amptenare Rugby bly ‘n sport van respek, en in die lig van onlangse veldtogte teen skeidsregter-mishandeling, word ondersteuners aangemoedig om die #NoRefereeAbuse-boodskap te ondersteun.

Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub is ‘n instelling met ‘n ryk geskiedenis en ‘n blywende invloed op rugby in Suid-Afrika. Sedert sy stigting in die laat 1800’s het die klub ‘n tuiste geword vir talentvolle spelers, toegewyde ondersteuners en ‘n passie vir die spel wat oor generasies heen voortleef. Hierdie artikel kyk na ‘n paar van die belangrikste erkennings en oomblikke uit die klub se eeufeesgeskiedenis. Image: Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub Boodskap van Dr. D. H. Craven (President van die S.A. Rugbyraad) Dr. Craven het erkenning gegee aan die belangrike rol wat Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub in Wes-Transvaal en Suid-Afrikaanse rugby gespeel het. Hy het uitgelig hoe die klub oor dekades ‘n stewige bydrae tot die ontwikkeling van die sport gelewer het en ‘n tuiste vir talentvolle spelers en bestuurders was. Hy het ook groot name in die rugbywêreld uitgelig wat ‘n verbintenis met die klub gehad het, insluitend Piet Bosman, Prof. Johan Claassen en M. C. Sorfleet. Hierdie figure het ‘n noemenswaardige invloed op die spel gehad en het Potchefstroom se rugbytradisie verder versterk. Boodskap van Johan Claassen (President van W.T.R.U.) Volgens Johan Claassen is Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub die eerste klub in Wes-Transvaal wat 100 jaar oud geword het, ‘n merkwaardige prestasie wat die klub se blywende invloed op die streek se rugby bewys. Hy het beklemtoon dat die klub ‘n ryke rugbygeskiedenis het en ‘n integrale deel van die gemeenskap is. Die klub het oor die jare verskeie talentvolle spelers opgelewer, insluitend Springbokke en provinsiale spelers, wat die klub se hoë standaard en belangrikheid in Suid-Afrikaanse rugby bevestig. Image: Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub ‘n Rugby-eeu – Oorsig oor die Klub se Geskiedenis In die argiewe van die Potchefstroomse Museum is daar foto’s wat waarskynlik een van die oudste rugbyspanne in Potchefstroom wys. Hierdie beelde bied ‘n unieke blik op die vroeë dae van die sport in die dorp. Spelers is destyds in verskillende drag op die foto, wat dui op ‘n vroeë era van rugby, voordat spanuniforms gestandaardiseer is. Historici debatteer steeds oor die presiese identifikasie van individue op die foto’s, maar dit is duidelik dat hierdie beelde van groot geskiedkundige waarde is. Dit dien as ‘n bewys van hoe diep rugby se wortels in Potchefstroom lê en hoe dit oor die dekades ontwikkel het. Ouer Spanne van Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub (1902 en 1903) Daar is ook foto’s van vroeë spanne met inskripsies soos “Potch R.F. Klub 1902” en “Potch R.F. Klub 1903.” Hierdie beelde wys hoe die klub reeds in die vroeë 1900’s ‘n gevestigde rugbyklub was met ‘n sterk teenwoordigheid in die dorp se sportwêreld. Dit dui op ‘n lang tradisie van rugby in Potchefstroom, wat met trots tot vandag voortduur. Image: Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub Slotgedagtes Potchefstroom Dorp Rugbyklub is nie net ‘n sportklub nie, maar ‘n simbool van deursettingsvermoë, trots en gemeenskap. Oor 135 jaar het dit generasies van spelers en ondersteuners geïnspireer, groot sportpersoonlikhede opgelewer en ‘n blywende impak op die Suid-Afrikaanse rugbylandskap gemaak. Terwyl die klub vorentoe kyk, bou dit voort op ‘n ryke geskiedenis en hou dit aan om ‘n baken van rugbytrots in Potchefstroom te wees. #TheGoToGuy #potchefstroom #potchgazette #potchdorprugby #geskiedenis

At the bottom of this article is a link to an interview done by Jeremy Maggs with Vukani Mngxati, the CEO of Accenture Africa. Vukani summary says in getting the best leadership, cleaning out corruption, and with active citizenry, a better state can be created. We believe that Entrepreneurs hold a significant part of the solution as our biggest challenge right now is to create jobs in a very difficult environment, yet Entrepreneurs have always over ome the mightiest of challenges. How do you think Entrepreneurs can make a difference? Here is the interview link: https://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-podcasts/fix-sa/to-fix-sa-citizens-must-stand-up/

When we think of entrepreneurial spirit, we often picture innovation, resourcefulness, and a drive to create value. However, the recent arrest of a Fochville farmer accused of apparently running an illegal electricity supply operation reveals the darker side of this ambition. This case, involving over 600 informal households connected to potential illegal electricity, raises serious questions about the boundaries of entrepreneurship and the consequences of bending them too far. Image: The Go-To Guy Creations The Scheme That Perhaps Went Too Far The farmer in question, whose heavily guarded property in Leeupoort became the hub of this large-scale illegal operation, managed to bypass legal channels for years. With transformers and metering equipment allegedly stolen from Eskom and City Power, he supplied informal settlements with electricity in exchange for payment. This “business” reportedly caused a financial loss of over R6.6 million to Eskom, a utility already grappling with financial and operational challenges. Investigations into the farm began as far back as 2018. Despite multiple disconnections, the farmer apparently repeatedly reconnected his operation, demonstrating a brazen disregard for the law. Authorities finally acted, recovering two transformers and 150 meters during a joint raid, and the farmer now faces charges of tampering with essential infrastructure, malicious damage to property, and illegal electricity resale. The True Cost of Illegal Enterprise This incident is part of a broader problem. Eskom reports that illegal electricity connections and theft cost the utility billions annually. In the 2022/23 financial year alone, non-technical losses, including illegal connections, amounted to R5.5 billion—approximately R15 million per day. These activities contribute directly to South Africa’s persistent load-shedding woes, as illegal connections increase demand unpredictably, overload infrastructure, and cause outages. While some might argue that the farmer was meeting a real need in underserved communities, the consequences of his actions paint a different picture. Illegal connections not only potentially jeopardise public safety but also disrupt legitimate power supply, worsen load-pressures, and erode trust in critical infrastructure. Eskom’s senior manager for maintenance and operations, Mashangu Xivambu, has emphasized that eradicating illegal connections in Gauteng alone equals two stages of load-shedding. Yet, as this case shows, even when illegal connections are removed, they often reappear—a cycle that perpetuates Eskom’s challenges. A Dangerous Precedent The Fochville case also highlights the perils of unchecked ambition. This operation, while ingenious in its execution, is potentially illegal, unsafe, and exploitative. By tampering with critical infrastructure, the farmer not only potentially endangered lives but also undermined efforts to build a sustainable electricity network. Striking a Balance Entrepreneurship, at its best, drives progress and meets unmet needs. But as this case demonstrates, it must operate within the boundaries of the law and ethical responsibility. South Africa’s electricity crisis, exacerbated by illegal activities like this, is a stark reminder that shortcuts and self-serving schemes are not the answer. For those living in informal settlements, the story underscores a broader systemic issue: the need for equitable access to basic services. Until these communities are adequately served, the temptation for similar schemes will remain strong. Moving Forward As Eskom continues its efforts to combat electricity theft, including through legal action and collaboration with law enforcement, it is essential to address both the symptoms and the root causes of this issue. Public reporting of illegal activities and stronger community partnerships can play a vital role in tackling these crimes.
