HENRY TERBLANCE – A MAN
WITH SAND IN HIS VEINS
IoQ – AN ASSOCIATION LIKE
NO OTHER
Henry Terblanche shares his memo-
ries of a lifetime of work in a harsh and
sometimes unforgiving environment.
He is truly a man with sand in his veins
and an incredible sense of humour.
This wonderful quarryman’s memoirs
are in honour of the people he has
worked with, people who enjoy mixing
humour with work, and who will also
appreciate the history of the times.
As we lead up to the 45
th
anniversary
of the Institute of Quarrying Southern
Africa, which takes place on 11-12 April
at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset
West, this time hosting the prestigious
international Presidents Council,
MQ
looks back at the establishment of
the Institute in the UK in 1917, and its
growth over some 97 years.

ON THE COVER
AROUND THE INDUSTRY
Operators need to become
ultra-efficient, and machines
more cost-efficient, which is
why there has been such an
interest in the new range of
NHL rigid dump trucks distrib-
uted in Southern Africa by Ever
Star Industries (Pty) Ltd. This
company is also the Southern
African distributor of the
Powerstar, one of the fastest-
growing truck brands in the
country.

VALUE
The year has started off at a rapid pace
for the Aggregate and Sand Producers
Association of Southern Africa, with
some success already achieved on the
diesel rebate dispute. There is ongo-
ing concern, however, about the issue
of illegal mining, sound environmen-
tal management and bogus mining
consultants.
In this Around the Globe feature, we
look at the production of dolomitic
lime for steelmaking at Thrislington
Quarry in northeastern England. Here
Banner Contracts is utilising two of
three Lokotrack LT106 mobile crushing
plants with great economical success.
The third, recently-purchased unit, is
being utilised at one of the company’s
customer sites.
