South Africans Worldwide Newsletter

Here we’re enjoying Nature’s show-as the Jacaranda’s purple splendour has been replaced by magnificent bright red Flamboyant tree blossoms. The old city fathers wisely planted Flamboyant’s down alternate streets, thus guaranteeing a new show from street to street. A photographer’s or painter’s dream it is too.

As Editor I’m eternally grateful for the regular contributor’s writings- which makes the collating of this Newsletter so much less of a burden. Many thanks to all!
It’s interesting when finding lost relatives or friends through this medium too.

‘Till next time.

Letters to the Editor TOP

Dear Editor

1) I realize that my view on this is a minority and unpopular one, but I would like to ask you to please publish this, and I would ask those who agree to add their comments to the petition at :

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/293741575

The World Cup 2010 should be given to another country which can afford it. South Africa can't.
South Africa's infrastructure will not be adequate for the numbers of people expected.
Only the already wealthy fat-cats will benefit, whilst the poor won't see any real or sustained benefit.
The money being wasted on this should go to policing, education, health care, and long term job creation.
Another negative spin off will be an influx of illegal immigrants to a country which already has a huge problem as a result of this.
SA will have over R12 billion on 2010 FIFA World Cup. (it has steadily crept up and up and up .... this won't be the final figure)

This is a criminal and profligate waste of money. If they can dig this money up, and remember it's taxpayers money - your money - it should be spent on health care, police and judiciary systems, roads, transport and communications infrastructure ..... in fact anything except football.
Anyone who believes that the benefits to the country will be greater than the deficit left by this is a fool.
Next time someone in your circle is unable to get proper medical care, or assistance after a crime, because of 'lack of funding' you may bear this in mind. It is not too late for this lunacy to be stopped.
Protest to your MP, write letters to the newspapers, and so on.
South African Minister of Sports and Recreation Mankhenkesi Stofile, who is currently visiting the Kingdom of Swaziland says his government will spend over R10 billion in hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The minister disclosed the figure yesterday during a briefing to the Prime Minister, Themba Dlamini, at the Premier’s offices.
Stofile said they had anticipated a budget of R3 billion during the signing agreement between the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) and his government’s 17 ministries after winning the bid. He said they signed the agreement in February 2004.

2)
The authorities have decided to introduce a high occupancy lane on the Johannesburg Pretoria Highway.

A great idea. You put the most dangerous, badly driven, overloaded, and badly maintained vehicles in the two fastest lanes, so that they have the highest closing speed. They are also allowed, and boy will they take advantage of this, to cut across the other traffic lanes.

It is only a matter of time before they realize that they can save time by picking up and dropping off passengers on the central reservation, regardless of course of the danger to other road users.
No wonder they call the taxis PCVs - population control vehicles. That's certainly how this is going to work.
This is a piece of legislation worthy of the late 'Groot Krokodil'. He must be laughing in the great Anker in the Sky this morning!

Hi Theo

I just published a new book along with Rhodie author Chris Higginson titled
Rhodesian Memories

Would it be possible for you to give us a plug in your next newsletter?

Rhodesian Memories 1 can be ordered online at:- www.Lekkerwear.com
The book is 350 pages and is printed in Times New Roman font size 12 to make it easy to read. The book size is 7.5 by 10.5 inches. The reason for this larger size is that if it was a normal paperback size it would have been about 700 to 750 pages and that would have been uncomfortable to read.

Kind Regards

Bill McDonald

I Wrote Your Name
I wrote your name on a piece of paper, but by accident I threw it away.
I wrote your name on my hand, but it washed away.
I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves whispered it away.
I wrote your name in my heart, and forever it will stay.
I believe in angels, the kind that heaven sends.
I'm surrounded by angels, but I call them my best friends.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his
employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building
business and live a more leisurely life with his wife, enjoying his
extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to
retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked
if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.
The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his
heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and
used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his
career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to
inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to
the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "My gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building
his own house, he would have done it all so differently!
Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way,
reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best.
At important points we do not give the job our best effort.

Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created,
and find that we are now living in the house we have built.

If we had realized it then, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house;
when each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall.
Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you
live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived
graciously and with dignity.

The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."

Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of
your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be
the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

Always aim for achievement and forget about success.' "

Goodbye 'Groot Krokodil'

Thu, 09 Nov 2006

Reviled and revered to the very end, former state president PW Botha was on Wednesday laid to rest in a hilltop graveyard, next to his first wife Elize. The private burial, attended only by members of his family, followed a funeral service in which some 800 people packed the Dutch Reformed Mother Church in George, another 150-odd spilling over into a marquee alongside.

Stalwarts from the Botha era

Mourners at the service included a number of former National Party MPs and cabinet ministers from the Botha era, as well as one-time defence and intelligence chiefs Constand Viljoen and Niel Barnard.
Among the few black people in the sea of white faces were President Thabo Mbeki and his wife Zanele, who sat alongside former president FW de Klerk and his wife Elita.

Mbeki, who in a reconciliatory message last week described Botha and former ANC leader Oliver Tambo as partners in creating peace, held Botha's widow Barbara in a respectful embrace after the ceremony, and exchanged a few words with her. He declined to speak to the media, saying: "Let's leave these interviews. I've spoken so many times."

White Zim farmers get leases

2006-11-9 20:00

Harare - Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe issued on Thursday long-term leases to land, which had been confiscated from white farmers, warning the former owners not to expect government compensation.
Senior government officials along with five white farmers were among the recipients of the 120 ninety-nine-year leases presented by the veteran president at a ceremony in an international conference centre in downtown Harare.
Zimbabwe launched its controversial and often violent land reforms seven years ago, seizing about 4 000 properties formerly tilled by white farmers and pledging to redistribute them to landless blacks.
Mugabe called the farm seizures a correction of historical imbalances that favoured colonial settlers and gave his blessings to bands of veterans of the country's 1970s liberation war who led the farm seizures.
But the move precipitated a collapse in agricultural production, once the mainstay of the Zimbabwean economy, which is now blighted by inflation running at more than 1 000% and previously unheard of food shortages.

Exploit the land to the full

In his address to the recipients of the leases, Mugabe made a rare acknowledgement of the troubles now affecting the farming sector as he urged the beneficiaries to exploit the land to the full.
"We need more maize, much more than we were able to produce last year. (We need) more wheat, more cotton so that we can produce enough so we can export," said the 82-year-old Mugabe, who has been in power since Zimbabwe won independence from Britain in 1980.
"You should guard it (the land) jealously and you should be prepared to die for it. Land for us is about life and death," he added.
Only several hundred white farmers are now believed to be still operating in Zimbabwe and many of the former landowners have since left the country.

Car may be taken and you'll still pay

Kashiefa Ajam November 11 2006 at 04:31PM

It's bad enough having your car taken away from you, but even worse is having to cough up hefty instalments for a car you don't have. But this is exactly what could happen if you are caught driving under the influence of alcohol.

And even worse - if you can't afford to pay that car hire purchase agreement, your finance company could sue you and you could lose your house to settle the debt.

On Thursday, in a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that a motor vehicle, driven under the influence of liquor or while the level of alcohol in the driver's blood exceeded the prescribed limit, was liable to be forfeited to the state under the Prevention of Organised Crime Act. This means the court must weigh the circumstances in which an order for forfeiture is sought.

First isiZulu dictionary launched in KZN

November 10 2006 at 11:11AM By Stephanie Saville

Pioneering work to preserve and advance the Zulu language has resulted in the compilation of the first isiZulu monolingual dictionary.

The Isichazamazwi SesiZulu (Zulu Dictionary), compiled by the Lexicography Unit at the University of Zululand, was launched by premier S'bu Ndebele in Pietermaritzburg on Thursday.

Ndebele warned that unless the Zulu language was proactively advanced and developed, it could be in danger of disappearing in homes, as many children were speaking English at home.

He said it had "been a major battle to get Zulu and Xhosa recognised, but now that we have, they must be developed".

"Council meetings are conducted in English, where 58 out of 60 councillors are Zulu-speaking. That is a problem because they are making decisions in a second language."

Police dog gets bravery medal
10/11/2006 14:28 - (SA)
Pretoria - The police need more dogs for the 2009 general elections and the 2010 Soccer World Cup, Deputy National Police Commissioner Mala Singh said on Friday.
Singh asked the public to donate dogs to help double the number of canine crime fighters.

Specialised police services like police dogs played a critical role in policing, Singh said at a ceremony at the SAPS Roodeplaat Dog Training School outside Pretoria.
She was speaking at a ceremony where four Star of Bravery (canine and equestrian) medals were awarded to police dogs.

Of the four, only Bobbie, a dog of handler Inspector Lappies Labuschagne, was still alive to receive the medal.

Earlier this year Bobbie was used when a man assaulted police officers with a spade and stabbed several of them with a sharp object.

"Bobbie took the man down and held him down until we could restrain him," Labuschagne said.

It was only afterwards that they found that Bobbie had sustained a skull fracture because he had been beaten over the head with the spade.
A veterinarian in Vryburg where the incident took place told Labuschagne that it was not possible to help Bobbie, but police veterinarians at Roodeplaat managed to save him and after three weeks he was back on the beat.

"You know you want to cry with anger and frustration, these dogs are there to help people, and he is my partner," said Labuschagne.

The police currently have around 1 000 dogs and their handlers stationed across South Africa and they hope to double that in the next few years.

Dogs needed include Border Collies, German and Belgian Shepherds, Boxers, Dobermanns, Labradors, Bloodhounds and even Cocker Spaniels.

The dogs would be trained to be used in narcotics, explosives, protected species detection, tracking, fire investigation and search and rescue operations.

The police were looking for dogs between the ages of nine months and three years.

Dogs that did not make the grade would be given to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and not sold at auctions had been previously the case.

Members of the public who want to donate dogs can contact the police between 08:00 and 15:00 weekdays on 012-808-8644.

Shaik changes to 'softer prison'

Convicted businessman Schabir Shaik spent less than four hours in Durban's Westville Prison before being moved to Empangeni's Qalakabusha Prison, sources said.

Three sources told Sapa on Thursday that Shaik had left the prison and was being taken to Qalakabusha prison near Empangeni.

Sapa also confirmed that he had already arrived at the Empangeni prison.

Correctional services spokesperson Luphumzo Kebeni said he was not aware of the transfer and believed that Shaik was "being processed" at Westville Prison.

Qalakabusha Prison was opened in 2000 and there are only two or three prisoners per cell compared to the 40 or 50 per cell in Westville Prison where Shaik was expected to serve out his 15-year sentence.

E Rand dam in clean up after fuel spill

A clean-up campaign was on Tuesday underway at the Blaauwpan dam in Bonaero Park on the East Rand following a fuel spillage at the Johannesburg International Airport, the SA Airports Company (ACSA) said.

Spokesperson Solomon Makgale said the dam was contaminated when some of the fuel drained into the storm water system which leads into the Blaauwpan dam.

This happened on Monday morning when a mechanical failure on one of the refuelling valves caused a jet fuel spillage.

"A team of experts comprising geo-hydrologists, ecologists, engineers and environmental practitioners have been deployed to commence with remedial measures in order to minimise the impact," Makgale said.

He said an independent ecological expert was also commissioned to provide a comprehensive report of the status of the dam in relation to aquatic life.

"We have elevated the wall of the dam, flushed the storm-water canal and are using absorbent material to clean up the dam."

The clean-up campaign is expected to be finalised in a month and half.

"So far, 105 000 litres of the estimated 150 000 litres have been recovered within the area in which the incident took place and will be disposed of in a safe manner."

All the government departments and agencies responsible for water management within the airport precinct have been informed, said Makgale.

Britain honours war dead

Millions of people across Britain observed a two-minute silence to remember the nation's war dead on Saturday.

At 11:00, a lone bugler heralded the start of the silence at a London service on Armistice Day, the anniversary of the official end of World War One.

People at a service in the capital's Trafalgar Square were invited to place red poppies in the square's famous fountains.

The red floral symbol has been worn on lapels since just after the end of World War One to honour those who die in battle because the poppy grew on the battlefields of northern Europe.

Schoolgirl Rebecca Sullivan, 13, was due to recite a poem she wrote about World War One called There Lie Forgotten Men at the London service. British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan observed the silence.

The two-minute silence ended in London when four Royal Air Force fighter jets flew low over the capital.

Queen Elizabeth and New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark were to attend a service to dedicate 16 bronze memorial sculptures in London's Hyde Park that honour New Zealand's war dead and commemorate the links between the two countries.

The Royal British Legion charity, which runs the Poppy Appeal to raise money for serving and ex-Service personnel and their families, estimated that 80% of Britons would observe the silence.

Families of servicemen killed in Iraq were later due to lay wreaths at Britain's main war memorial, the Cenotaph, in central London, as a lone piper plays.

They will read out the names of more than 100 British servicemen who have died in Iraq before delivering a letter to Prime Minister Tony Blair's office calling for the return of British troops.

The service is being organised by the campaign group Military Families Against the War, which opposes Britain's involvement in Iraq.

On Remembrance Sunday, more services are held across the country and the Queen lays a wreath at the Cenotaph.

The Legal Beagle TOP

Nobody enquired this week.

Help Desk TOP

As I am a South African living and working in China, I receive my salary from my Chinese boss, but do not pay Chinese taxes.

I wish to know that in the event I return to SA, am I required to pay taxes ( for time spent and worked abroad / salary saved in China) according to South African Revenue law? If so, how much am I required to pay?

It would seem a bit unfair for me to have to pay taxes to the South African government for hard work performed and hard earned salary saved while abroad and I am not even working in South Africa!
I am working here in China because of unemployment in SA.

As I will return some day, (hopefully to start a biz) I wish to know if I am required to pay taxes on my salary saved while in China, how much and what are the procedures, since I do not have any documentation, save my passport (with Chinese visas enclosed) as proof.

Kindly advise

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks. Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes. There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of "pretend" bills with not enough money.

In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment. He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care (weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they're about to leave for vacation). He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

There is only one TV between them, and a remote with dead batteries.

Each father will be required to know all of the words to every stupid song that comes on TV and the name of each and every character on cartoons.

The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, which they will apply to themselves either while driving or making three lunches.

Each man will have to make an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of peas.

Each man must adorn himself with jewellery, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep their nails polished and eyebrows groomed. The men must try to get through each day without snot, spit-up or barf on their clothing.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties. They must try to explain what a tampon is for when the 6-yr old boy finds it in the purse.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

He will need to read a book with the children each night without falling asleep, and then feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each morning by 7:00 . They must leave the home with no food on their face or clothes.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name.
Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labour, each child's favourite colour, middle name, favourite snack, favourite song, favourite drink, favourite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.

They must clean up after their sick children at 2:00 a.m. and then spend the remainder of the day tending to that child and waiting on them hand and foot until they are better.

They must have a loving, age appropriate reply to, "You're not the boss of me."

The kids vote them off the island based on performance.
The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years...eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

Ireland down poor Boks

2006-11-11 20:48 Dublin -
An experienced and impressive Ireland side beat an experimental South Africa 32-15 in Dublin on Saturday - the fifth away defeat for the Springboks in a row.
It was Ireland's second straight win against the former World Cup winners but only their third victory in 18 meetings between the sides.

South Africa got the first points on the board thanks to a penalty from Andre Pretorius but from then on the momentum was almost entirely with the home side as the Springboks missed an incredible 30 tackles.
