The latest vintages were among old favourites ensuring a subtle bombarding of the senses when the Limpopo Wine Show came to town last weekend.

Being the fourth show of its kind on Limpopo soil, the three-day event delivered some 230 fruits of the industry to the doorsteps of local connoisseurs. For this purpose the most prominent names from South Africa’s wine lands came together for a great show-off. From late Friday afternoon exhibitors paraded their full reds and crisp whites, their sparkling wines and, of course, the most appealing olives.

Only the sky is the boundary and you can make it from grey to elegant. There is no better proof of this than Kgolane Phala, Speaker of the Limpopo Legislature. Hailing from Manganeng Village in Sekhukhune, he is a true example of someone who contributed unconditionally within the political arena to combat the apartheid regime despite his rural background.

His contribution of emancipating many South Africans from mental slavery earned him a place as one of the most respected politicians in South Africa.

There is something terribly sexy about a French accent. Add to that champagne infusions from the country that is home to Paris, fashion streaks and love affairs and one is unexpectedly charmed on an evening spent in a befitting gathering place.

Die Hoërskool Pietersburg se rugby- en hokkiespanne het onlangs by Monument Hoërskool in Krugersdorp aan die kwarteindrondte van die NuPower/Tuks-reeks deelgeneem.

Pieties-hokkiespelers hou steeds die skool se naam hoog met puik uitslae. PHS se rugbyspanne was nie so gelukkig nie en die eerste span moes in die doodsnikke die knie teen die Hoërskool Kemptonpark buig.

Die roman, Plaasmoord, uit die pen van Karin Brynard, is die regte letterkunde vir die regte tyd.  Dat die boek ‘n topverkoper gaan word, ly weinig twyfel, maar waarskynlik vir die verkeerde redes. Mens kry die gevoel dat al wat ‘n regse fanatikus is die werk gaan koop, hopende om daarin te lees wat hulle graag wil lees.

Die koue weer het Pietersburg Noordelike Rugbyklub nie afgeskrik om kookwaterrugby teen Alpha Sand Pietersburg te speel nie. Hulle het hul teenstanders Vrydagaand op die Hoërskool Pietersburg (PHS) se rugbyveld met 24-6 in die Boet Fick Superliga verslaan.

Charl Liversage (2), Danie du Bruyn en Theyman Jongbloed het Noordelikes se vier drieë gedruk om ook die bonuspunt vir die wenspan te beklink. Losskakel, Johan de Beer, het twee doelskoppe bygevoeg.

All roads will lead to the University of Limpopo’s Oscar Mpetha stadium on Sunday, when Winnerspark and Mpumalanga Aces battle it out for a place in the quarter finals of the Nedbank Cup.

With teams like FC Cape Town and University of Pretoria campaigning in the National First Division, already in the quarter finals of the Ke yona Cup, it remains to be seen if Winnerspark will live up to expectations.

Winnerspark Football Manager Trevor Lekalakala said the last 16 game against Aces is a must win.
