Sluk jy pynpille asof dit lekkergoed is? Die welbekende Leroux van Vuuren, die sag-geaarde kok in die KykNET-Werklikheidsreeds, Kokkedoor, se getuienis maak ‘n verskil in ons samelewing. In 2004 drink hy sowat 180 pynpille per dag en kom tot die gevolg dat hy moet herken hy ‘n dwelmverslaafde is.
Sy vrou Estelle het in 2006 op sy krediet kaart staat gemerk dat hy R10 000 se skuld by ‘n rits apteke opgejaag het. Leroux moes ‘n keuse maak om hom te laat rehabiliteer of hy sit met ‘n skeisaak op hande. Hy is by ‘n kliniek in Goodwood, buite Kaapstad, opgeneem en daar het hy verneem dat hy verslaaf is aan kodein. Hy verduidelik kodein word nes morfien van opium gemaak. Dis ‘n algemene bestaandeel in verskeie pynpille en party hoes strope. Dit speel klaar met pyn en het ‘n kalmerende uitwerking. Hy het pille begin drink maar sy kopseer het geleidelik erger geraak. Wat hy nie besef het nie was dat dit juis die pille was wat hom kopseer gegee het. Hoe meer pille hy gedrink het, hoe meer wou hy drink. Toe sy krediet kaart later uitgeput was, het hy pille dood eenvoudig van die rak af begin steel. Ek het byna 180 per dag gedrink en dit in die tuin begrawe en in die motorhuis weggesteek en selfs in sy noodwiel gepak sodat die geheim syne bly. Die eerste maand in die kliniek was hel vertel Leroux. “Weens die onttrekkingssimptome het dit gevoel of daar heeltyd vlooie op my lyf loop. Ek was aanmekaar naar. Met die hulp van ‘n sielkundige het ek besef hoekom ek verslaaf is. Ek het altyd gevoel iets in my lewe ontbreek. Dit is toe dat ek besef ek het die pille gedrink omdat ek nie die Here in my lewe toegelaat het nie. Ek hou nie daarvan dat Christene hulle geloof aan ander afdwing nie, maar ek bedoel dit
eerlik. Ek het God nie in my lewe toegelaat nie en daarom het ek die pad byster geraak. Dinge het dadelik verbeter. “ Hy verpes die woorde “apteek” en “pil” en die groen kleur van die botteltjie pille wat so lank sy lewe regeer het. Maar hy weet die verslawing sal nie terugkom nie want hy het God in sy lewe. As dit die dag moeilik gaan, vra ek Sy hulp. As my dag vlot verloop se ek vir Hom dankie.”
Vandag is hy ‘n motiveringsspreker en dit is die rede hoekom Dirk van der Westhuizen, kandidaat vir “Sir Man of God” hom gebruik vir sy “drug awareness campaign. Drik se projek skof af met ‘n praatjie by die Life Arts Little Theater op 7 Mei om 10:00 te Boksbug en hy vra dat die gemeenskap hom sal ondersteun.Hier die praaitjie beloof om elke verslaafde se lewe te verander. Lees Dirk se berig op bladsy 7.
Promises made From the desk of Rev Ray Goddess I am writing this article in the middle of the Holy Week, a time when we in our church meditate and think about the life of Jesus and everything that happened leading up to the cross and then finally we celebrate the empty tomb on Easter Sunday. I realize that there are many people who use this time as a break from their busy work schedule but there are also many who spend their Easter “re-looking” at their lives. Those who think about their life may in fact come to a point where they realize that they need to make a change, there is a point or many points that are not right and they need to put it or them right. We then make a promise to ourselves, from now on I am either not going to do something or else from now on I am going to do something. We have made a promise, but do we keep the promise? As we look at the Easter promises we see that all the promises made by God through the prophets comes true. God DOES send His Son who is born of the Immaculate Conception and Jesus does live a perfect life and ultimately Jesus does die on the cross and on the third day He IS raised from the dead. God made some promises and He has kept them all and not one has been broken. Surely one of the BIG changes we need to make in our lives is to KEEP the promise(s) we make at Easter, because the promise we make is in fact not to ourselves but to God, and we should try and make sure that we keep the promise. This does not mean that we are doomed if we fail but
Rev Goddess, Heidelberg Methodist Church it does mean that if we fail we will get up and try again without giving up. God’s grace and understanding is such that we do not have to stop if we fail, we rather need to call on God for strength and try again. Many of us are weak when it comes to keeping promises so maybe we need to put things into place to help us keep the promises. Maybe we need to ask someone to hold us accountable to the promise that we have made. Remember that you cannot get cross with the person when he or she asks if you are keeping to the promise – you asked them to keep you accountable and all that they are doing is keeping their side of the promise. I trust that you have all had a blessed Easter as we Christ Followers celebrate the empty tomb. I pray that all who have made promises of change to God will be strengthened and are able to celebrate that positive change in their lives.

Dragged! The community of Heidelberg demands to know why reparation work to potholes gets dragged out. Maintaining and upgrading our municipal roads is important to all residents. Residents have to cough up for the f ixing or replacement of their tyres. This roads is used by the community to travel to work and school on a daily basis. Why does the Lesedi Municipality take so long to repair our roads. Is it because they are bankrupt? Residents are fed up with same lame excuses. Our roads are full of giant potholes which are badly scarred with potholes that there is almost no tar left. In October last year, municipal spokesperson, Mthubanzi Mniki, confirmed the shortage of material to fix the roads as well as the lack of available funding: “We do not have a standing budget for potholes – it is part of our maintenance budget. For now, it is R1.1 million for the entire road network of the metro.” Is this the reason why Heidelberg potholes don’t get fixed?

New language policy a progressive step The University of the Free State(UFS)’s new language policy and adoption of English as the main language of instruction is a progressive step towards transformation, the South African National Civic Organisation(SANCO) said. “We welcome the adoption of a democratic multilingual language policy that is key to deepening transformation, intercultural communication and social cohesion,” SANCO National Spokesperson, Jabu Mahlagu said. Mahlangu said that it is encouraging the Universities of Pretoria, Stellenbosch and

Free State which were enclaves of Afrikaner nationalism are eager to adopt progressive language policies, open their doors wider to serve all communities and transform them into African Universities. “Objection from the AfriForum is influenced by a longing for pigmentocracy, social, economic and Afrikaner cultural dominance that have no place in a transformed education landscape,”he added. AfriForum says that it will approach the Bloemfontein High Court for a court interdict against the University of the Free State’s decision to implement English as its main medium of instruction. The university’s council approved the language policy decision last week and is set to implement it in 2017. AfriForum has expressed its concern over the decision, saying that it undermined “the language rights of Afrikaans speaking students who want to be tutored in Afrikaans”. “We are very concerned about the decision. We feel that not only does it undermine the language rights of Afrikaans speaking students who want to be tutored in Afrikaans, but it is also a problem because Sesotho as a main language of the people of the Free State is still a developing language. “And if we see that a highly functional language as Afrikaans is being sidelined we also wonder whether indeed there will be further efforts to improve the (standard) of Sesotho,” Afriforum deputy CEO, Alana Bailey, quoted.

Habakkuk 2:2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. (NKJV) Where there is a team there is conquest. One is always too little to achieve greatness but a team unified through a dream can achieve far above even the most gifted individual. Throughout the Bible the importance of having a dream is emphasized numerous times. The Lord dreamt about every individual ever created (Isaiah 29:11; Psalm 139) and then created us in His image, with the inherent capacity to dream and envision just like He does. Dreams underpin reality in a significant way since it becomes the foundation of what we meditate on, resultantly speak and so pull into the reality of the physical realm. What we dream determines what we confess and what we confess defines what we get… Because dreams are so powerful, it is extremely important that we should dream with the Lord instead of dreaming our own selfish, often negative, dreams. When we dream in accordance with the plan and purpose God has for our lives there are no limits to what the Lord will do for us (Ephesians 3:20). A God-dream finds it essence in the heart of God – it is devoid of personal agendas or self ish motives. As such it has the ability to work unity in a very special way. The unity achieved through a common goal, was part of the success of the Early Church as seen in the book of Acts. The New Testament Church embraced the apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, communion and prayer as an integral part of their existence (Acts 2:42). Not only did they regard these four elements as crucially important, they did so in unity. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was poured out through a powerful manifestation of the presence of God as the believers were praying in one accord (Acts 2:2). Every member of the church in Acts had one dream, one goal – to spread the Gospel and win souls. Individuals grouped together do not equal a team. A team comes into existence only once every member of the team sets themselves and their personal agendas
aside for the purpose of embracing the team dream and actively working towards the joint goal. Just like a hybrid animal (such as the mule) combines the best qualities of two pure breeds at the cost of being barren, so a God-dream, mixed with self ish, human dreams, will produce nothing but a team of hard workers that do not have the capacity to multiply or do anything other than just laboring to make the leader. This is not what the Lord wants for us. Paul teaches his spiritual son, Timothy that he should make it his mission to entrust everything he learnt to trustworthy, able people (2 Timothy 2:2). In a successful team, the leader works not to achieve what will benefit him/her personally but instead the leader’s ultimate goal is to empower every team member to be the best they can possibly be. When we make God’s dream our dream, it brings out the best in every single individual involved. As we die to ourselves, we come alive to God’s original plan. Even gifted individuals cannot achieve optimally without the backing of a team. A proverb sums this up beautifully in saying that individuals play the game, but a team wins the championship. Jesus made God’s dream clear in a few simple words – loving God and loving people (Matthew 22:37-38). In Matthew 28:19-20 He tells His disciples how to execute the dream of God – “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.” Up until today, this still remains the dream and the strategy – to love every soul enough to not only connect them to the Lord through salvation, but also to teach them how to do the same for others. Join us this week as we start dreaming with God again, taking hands and joining hearts across the manifold divides of culture, age, status and too many differences to name, in pursuit of this one thing – that none should perish…

No bail for farmer commit crimes‚ possession of explosives‚ possession of ammunition without having a licence and failure to lock firearms in a prescribed safe. Police apparently found firearms and 1300 rounds of ammunition‚ including SSG bullets‚ inside his home when they raided his place following a tip-off. According to the charge sheet, Du Plessis had “incited others on Facebook to commit violence or murder against black people”. In his posts‚ all in Afrikaans‚ Du Plessis had repeatedly made racist statements.
The South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) called for no bail for the Bronkhorspruit farmer who allegedly incited fatal attacks on black people via Facebook posts. Du Plesis who has been in custody since his arrest three weeks ago is expected to appear in the Bronkhorspruit Magistrate court for his second bail application. His first bail application was postponed because he wanted an Afrikaans-speaking interpreter present. He is facing charges of inciting others to
Tragic death Nigel couple Chrissie Pienaar, 65 and Alan, 69 was brutally murdered on Saturday, March 19. Chrissie was dumped in a manhole with a dead dog. It’s a mystery why the police had not noticed the blood when they had arrived at the Pienaar house in Leeds Road, Ferryvale for questioning them about their vehicle, which they found in Duduza. The CPF found the Pienaar couple’s bodies shortly before midnight. Warrant-officer Madeleine von Wielligh confirmed that police officers from Duduza first had pulled off the Pienaar‘s Kia Sorento, driven by their gardener. The gardener was arrested as the main witness and two others were also arrested. The 3 black male suspects appeared in Nigel magistrate’s court, March 22 and the case was postponed.
On February 1‚ he had posted a picture of a silhouetted man carrying a shotgun‚ a trail of blood behind him‚ with the words “die Boere is gatvol” (Afrikaners have had enough). Du Plessis’s bail application has been postponed to March 30th‚ which means he spend the long weekend in a cell. He was arrested at his farm outside Bronkhorstspruit during a raid police conducted following a tip-off about his allegedly racist posts on Facebook.

Betsie en Phillip herderspaar van Simfonéa. Uit die pen van Phillip van Rhyn Vir geestelike hulp en gebed skakel 079 762 5545. In Openbaring 12 word twee tekens beskrywe: Die Kerk is God se plan om satan uiteindelik te vernietig. Maar aan die anderkant, oor die woede van satan in sy poging om juis die kerk te vernietig! Die vrou of te wel die gemeente is in ‘n staat van vrugbaarheid met die doel om kinders, gelowiges voort te bring. Sy dra ‘n kroon wat daarop dui dat sy koninklik is. Die twaalf sterre dui op die prediking van die Nuwe Testamentiese Evangeliese verbondsboodskap. Teken nommer twee beskryf die gevalle prins van duisternis en hoe hy uit die hemel gewerp was. Hy weet dat sy tyd min is en fokus op die kerk en haar lede. Indien ons nie deel van die liggaam, die gemeente van Christus, Sy bruid, is nie, kan ons nie deel van God se oorwinnings-plan wees nie. Ons moet deel wees van God se plan om geestelik te oorleef! In Sy liggaam.. Dis waarom Jesus Christus aarde toe gekom het om Sy triomferende kerk op te rig. Soos wat die Vader Sy Seun onderhou het, onderhou en versorg Hy ook vandag Sy Kerk. Satan is alreeds in die voortyd oorwin en sy plek in die Hemel kwyt. Hy is ‘n verslane en oorwonne vyand. Die Woord leer ook dat hy begerig is om die mens te verlei soos hy dit al in die Tuin van Eden gedoen het. Ons mag hom dit nie toelaat nie! Dan word die mens as oorwinnaar beskryf met die woorde: Heil, krag en koningskap en die eiendom van God en die mag van
Jeus Christus. Ons is spesiaal! Die duiwel se voorreg om ons voor die Vader aan te kla is van Hom weggeneem, deurdat hy uit die Hemel gewerp is en dat hy geen meer toegang tot God het nie. Sy strategie is egter nou om ons in ons gewete aan te kla en ons wys te maak dat ons skuldig voor God staan. Hy is ’n uiterste bedrieër. Ons moet hom bestraf en weerstaan soos waardige oorwinnaars in die liggaam van Jesus Christus wie ons vrygekoop het van ons skuld. Dieselfde mens, ek en jy, is inderdaad in staat om satan te oorwin deur die bloed van die Lam en deur die woord van ons getuienis, vrymaking en oorwinning deur Sy dood aan die kruis en die opstanding van Jesus Christus, God se Seun. Een van die karaktertrekke van hierdie Godsmens is, dat ons nie ons aardse liggame/lewe liefhet nie en selfs die fisiese dood nie vrees nie want ons weet daar wag ‘n beter lewe aan die anderkant. Die vyand se doel is om met woede die kerk, net soos hy die Seun wou vernietig, te vervolg. Hy poog selfs om die kerk te verswelg met ‘n rivier van water wat dui op ‘n oorvloed van vreemde godsdiens, en vreemde leerstellings. Die Here, die Hoof sal egter hierdie verdrinking van Sy liggaam nie toelaat nie. En dan word die kerk toegerus met die vlerke van die Woord want God beskerm Sy kerk al is dit in ‘n woestynland. Hierdie tyd, tye en ‘n halwe tyd dui slegs daarop dat God Sy kerk sal bewaar totdat haar tyd op aarde volbring is en haar werk afgehandel is net soos Jesus se werk na 3 jaar afgehandel is. Ons mag nie tou opgooi nie… ’Dis nie hulle wie begin nie, maar wie volhard tot die einde toe’. Die sleutelwoord in die 17de vers is dat die vrou ook ‘ander’ nakomelinge het wat beteken dat ons as heidene ook nou deel in die genade van redding en die ewige lewe geniet, want ons onderhou ook die gebooie van God: Joh_13:34 ‘n Nuwe gebod gee Ek julle, dat julle mekaar moet liefhê; soos Ek julle liefgehad het, moet julle ook mekaar liefhê. Ons is dus meer as oorwinnaars. Die KERK met JESUS as leidsman triomfeer en sal dit ook doen in die toekoms !!! Gebed. Vader vergewe my as ek my plek binne die liggaam, die kerk van Christus versaak het. Ek bid vir vergifnis en meld vandag opnuut aan vir diens. In Jesus se Naam. Amen

‘Sir SA man of God’ kandidaat 2016 vanaf bladsy 1 Dirk van der Westhuizen, die 29 jarige jongman wat in Nigel groot geword het, het ‘n passie vir mense wat in een of ander verslawing vasgevang is. Wie sou kon dink dat hy op hierdie ouderdom as kandidaat vir “Sir SA Man of God” sal staan. Wel hierdie gedagte het nooit eers by homself posgevat nie. Dirk het nadat hy deur sy moeder Linda Hayter, tuisskool ontvang het, die wêreld gaan verken. Soos enige persoon het hy ook verkeerde keuses in sy lewe gemaak. Op ‘n dag is hy tot stilstand gebring en het hy sy vlerke na nuwe hoogtes gesprei. Hy het die hoofrol, as ‘n dwelmverslaafde in ‘n f ilmvertoning verwerf. Hier is Dirk gedwing om navorsing te doen oor hierdie betrokke rol wat hy moet speel. Hy het alles rondom dwelmverslawing ondersoek. Dirk het ontdek dat die meeste verslaafdes verwerping ervaar. Mense soek aanvaarding en wil net graag raak gesien word. “Die televisie vandag maak dat alle verslawings “cool” is en gee aan mense ‘n sekere status en daarom dink jongmense kom ons probeer dit ook,” vertel hy.
Aan die einde van 2015 het een van sy vriendinne vir hom vertel dat sy hom wil aanmoedig om vir “Sir SA Man of God” in te skryf. Sy eerste reaksie was, nee hoekom? Vroeër vanjaar motiveer nog een van sy vriende hom om as kandidaat te staan. Aansoeke vir die geleentheid het op 4 Maart gesluit en op die 3de Maart besluit hy inskryf moet hy. Met haas kry hy sy motivering gereed en stuur dit nog dieseflde dag in. Die volgende oggend kom die nuus deur dat hy gekeur is. In sy motivering moes hy uitlig waarvoor hy staan en hoe hy ‘n verskil sal kan maak. Hy ontvang ‘n opdrag dat hy ‘n fondsinsamelings projek moet loods waar hy ‘n bedrag van R8 500 moet in. Hier moes Dirk al sy breinstof bymekaar sit om te besluit wie en wat gaan hy gebruik as sy projek. Dit is hier waar Leroux Van Vuuren van Kokkedoor deel van sy planne word. Hy loots ‘n verslawings bewustheidsprojek. Sy eerste poging om sy kandidaatskap te staaf word dan op 7 Mei om 10 by die Life Arts Little Theatre in Boksburg aangebied,
waar Leroux van Kokkedoor die hoofspreker is. Film regisseur Jeffrey Smit, sal tydens die geleentheid sy getuienis bring en meer vertel oor die rol wat Dirk gaan vertolk. Alle fondse gaan ten bate van die Avril Elizabeth Huis. Dirk speel graag klavier en op sy christelike facebookblad saai hy christelike musiek uit. My visie en missie My visie was nog altyd om uit te reik na jong mense wat sukkel om aan te pas in die skool, jeugaksies, of by huishoudelike situasies. Ek het ‘n uitgesproke vriendelike ge-aardheid en vind aanklank by bogenoemde kinders. Ek wil graag die talente wat ek van die Here ontvang het, gebruik om ander te beraad en te leer oor hoe om hierdie moeilike situasies te hanteer, sonder die misbruik van dwelms, drank, voorhuwelikse seks en so meer om daardie leemtes te vul. Ek het self as jong man besef dat daardie leemte slegs deur God, my Skepper, gevul kan word. My missie in die lewe is om veral jong mense in te lig oor die gevare van dwelm misbruik, ongeag hulle agtergrond en probleme waarmee hulle moontlik mag worstel. Hulle hoef nie toe te gee aan groepsdruk nie. Net omdat “almal” dit doen, beteken dit nie jy moet dit ook doen nie. Ek wil hulle leer hoe om moontlike dwelm misbruik vroegtydig te identifiseer, Dirk van der Westhuizen, Nigel se kandidaat vir ‘Sir SA man of God’. Vir enige navrae kontak 082 878 8064.
nie net in hulle eie lewens nie, maar ook in die van hulle ouers, broers of susters en vriende. Hulle moet weet hulle hoef nie alleen daarmee te worstel nie, daar is mense en instansies waar hulle kan aanklop vir hulp. Hierdie is my geestelike lewensreis. Die “Sir South Africa, Man of God”, is ‘n fantastiese platvorm vir my om sodoende baie meer mense met dieselfde probleem te kan help.

Asset forfeiture must kick-in to stamp out electricity theft The South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) called on authorities to target assets of businesses responsible for theft of electricity from Eskom and municipalities running into billions of rands. “The clampdown on syndicates that are crippling our economy cannot leave out main benef iciaries of this category of organised crime, i.e mining houses and farmers. Continuing to treat them with kid gloves will only axacerbate the problem,” SANCO National Spokesperson,Jabu Mahlangu highlighted. Mahlangu said that the message to those involved in economic crime syndicates
must be explicit: “You steal electricity, you forfeit your business assets as proceeds of crime. You steal electricity you lose your farm.” He emphasised that the neglect to prioritise commercial companies for prepaid meters and regular audits has encouraged meter bridging and tampering. “Targeting of indigent households in Soweto before factories and corporate companies in Sandton is a typical example,” he alluded. Some municipalities are burdened with inexplicable electricity debt running into millions of rands as a result of bridging on their supply network which Eskom con-
firmed involves about 50% of businesses, the commercial and agriculture sector, Mahlangu said. The State owned enterprise (SOE) recently reported that it is losing about R2bn a year through illegal connections, copper cable theft, ghost vending, tampering (bypassing) and non-payment, while municipalities are estimated to lose R6bn. Mahlangu urged communities to report syndicates that are tempering with electricity or illegally selling electricity coupons on the blackmarket. “Those involved in sabotaging our economy must not be spared the wrath of the law in accordance with the Criminal
Matters Amendment Bill which makes provision for tougher bail conditions and possible jail terms of up to 30 years and fines of up to R1m,” he highlighted. He stressed that tampering, interference and destruction of essential infrastructure which may compromise the livelihood of the public are serious economic crimes. According to Eskom spokesperson, Khulu Phasiwe, seven Eskom employees have been suspended for their involvement in theft, with 34 cases in court across the country involving theft. From 2014 to 2015, there were 106 businesses disconnected because of meter tampering, while more than 2 000 households were disconnected.

NIGEL/HEIDELBERG REKORD - ONLINE EDITION www.rekord.org.za
Vaginal ring to prevent HIV The results of two groundbreaking studies that have just been released at the annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) show that there may be a promising HIV prevention option for women in the form of a vaginal ring. The ring, which is used for a month at a time, contains the antiretroviral drug dapivirine that inhibits the HIV virus from multiplying. Women aged 18 to 45 in South Africa, Uganda, Malawi and Zimbabwe were involved in the trials. Women who were assigned the dapivirine ring showed a 27% - 30% relative reduction in HIV incidence. A surprising 56% reduction was seen in women older than 21 years of age. Linda-Gail Bekker, one of the authors of the study, says: “We can really build on these important results. Globally women need options to protect themselves from HIV acquisition. The dapivirine vaginal ring is one such option.” The study demonstrated that the vaginal ring was safe and effective for HIV prevention in women. This study is the first to demonstrate HIV protection from a sustained-release approach of an antiretroviral, which is considered a breakthrough. With approximately 6.8 million people living with HIV in South Africa and nearly 60% being women – this is a femalecontrolled HIV prevention method that can potentially reduce new infections among women. Researchers and health authorities now have to start the process of getting the ring approved in order to make it accessible and affordable to the public. It could be years before the ring joins other HIV prevention options such as condoms, oral pre-exposure prophylaxis and Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC). VMMC is currently available and shows
similar levels of protection among men. VMMC also has the added benefits of being a once-off intervention and does not have adherence challenges. “The once-off 20-30 minute procedure reduces a man’s lifetime risk of acquiring HIV by up to 60%. VMMC also reduces the risk of acquiring human papilloma virus (HPV), and as a result reduces the risk of penile cancer in those circumcised and reduces the risk of cervical cancer among the female partners of circumcised males,” says Marina Rifkin, the Public Health Specialist at CareWorks, an HIV management organisation. “As an HIV management organisation, we promote VMMC as part of a combination prevention strategy to prevent the spread of HIV, this includes: correct and consistent condom use, early treatment of sexually transmitted infections, partner reduction, encouraging youth to delay sexual debut, the provision of antiretroviral treatment for people living with HIV, and hopefully one day this vaginal ring. “As a country, we have the highest HIV burden in the world with approximately 400 000 new HIV infections annually. While these results of the vaginal ring trial are encouraging, it shouldn’t deter the public from making use of what we have available now. South Africa would benefit greatly from having more men circum-cised, as this not only lowers the risk of HIV acquisition among men, but it also reduces the risk of men transmitting the infection, which ultimately protects women against exposure to HIV as well,” concludes Rifkin. To find out more information or where you, your son, friend or partner, can undergo free VMMC: send a free ‘please call me’ to 0606 800 800 and a counsellor will get back to you.

Complementary Colour Companions Easter is early this year, so make sure you’ve planned your public holidays, celebrations and feasting. Who doesn’t love a basket full of colourful Easter eggs? This month, our complementary companions also make for a perfect basket full of colourful treats. Verbenas and lobelias are both prolific bloomers, providing a wonderful array of colours in what could otherwise be a dull spot in your garden. Picture bursts of colour in amongst a rock garden or rows of blooms edging your pathways. The perfect camouflage to hide your Easter eggs! As companions, they work very well in pots or hanging baskets, especially the trailing varieties, particularly striking along patios or entrance-ways. As with any perfect companion in life, these plants complement each other, rather than one overshadowing the other. The verbenas
bloom in vibrant shades of pink, purple, mauve or red; and some hybrids are even bi-coloured, tempered by the lovely lobelias’ more pastel hues of blues, pinks and lilacs. Verbenas tick all gardeners’ boxes: they’re prolific bloomers, hardy, heat-tolerant and, the last tick box that we all want, they’re low maintenance. Like verbena, lobelia sometimes pretends to be a perennial but is actually an annual as it only flowers until the first frosts. Pot Specific Argyranthemum is our pot choice for March! It’s a small, compact shrub with very pretty daisy blooms in a whole range of colours to suit any garden pot! It grows to approximately 30cm high and 40cm wide, so plan accordingly when choosing your container.
