Refurbished rates hall now open Nigel Customer Care Centre (CCC) patrons will now enjoy walking into a newly refurbished rates hall following massive renovations to the tune of over R15 million.

Standing in overcrowding long queues for services at the rates hall is something of

the past with the newly built premises officially being opened to customers with improved services.

The multimillion rand construction process included the building of nine new service counters fitted with latest computers, printers and office furniture, the

renovation of the foyer and the building of a spacious 2-storey administration hall and new off ices for ward councillors.

Externally, the Nigel CCC underwent the construction of covered walkways, covered parking, exterior painting of the existing buildings, waterproofing and painting of

existing roofs.

“Delivering efficient services to our customers is a priority.

We aim to create and maintain a standard look to ensure a conducive working environment,” said Nigel CCC Manager Tebogo Molefe.

Patrons line up today at the newly renovated Nigel CCC rates hall which has additional counters to reduce long queues.

I have been very frustrated in the last 3 to 4 years with something that is deep on my heart and I want to share this hopefully as a motivation for Christians to live with more of an open mind about “life”.

Life is not all roses and we are constantly faced with challenges. Here is my predicament. When faced with challenges I am not a person to sit back and allow people or situations to walk over me.

Because of my secular background I tend to want to have a win win situation not a win (supplier) loose (church/Christian) situation. When I, as minister, “take on” suppliers because of bad service I am so often faced with comments like “You call yourself a Christian” or “Is this how the church works”.

So let us try to look at some Biblical as well as secular facts and maybe this will help the many Christians out there who are not sure what they should do when faced with bad service (in whichever form).

On the secular side when a contract is signed or agreed upon it is the responsibility of the supplier to supply the goods (material, building or just service) as per the contract and within reasonable business practice. This means that if you build a building and the door does not work properly the supplier must come

back and fix it to be 100% correct and NOT “make a plan” and give you something that comes across as bad workmanship or looking second-hand.

There are many people who we have dealt with as a church (often my leadership and not I have been working with the people) and at the end they “leave us in the lurch” and when we start to put demands onto them they are quick to point fingers at the church complaining that as a church we should “accept” their bad workmanship.

What about the fact that we have paid for a service?

So now comes the dilemma, are we right or should we just accept bad workmanship because we are a church or “Christian”.

Let us look at the life of Jesus. He was constantly taking people on because they were wrong. The theology of the people was often wrong, the laws made by man were often wrong, the actions of the people were often wrong and the accusations against Jesus were always wrong – and He took them on! Jesus did not sit back and do nothing. He rather made comments against that which was wrong (eg the adulteress) or took action against what was wrong (eg turning the tables over in the temple courts). Jesus was also fair in that when one of His own did something wrong He rectified it (to be fair). An example of this is when the soldier’s ear was cut off.

So here is my take. Demand in a decent way what is right and what is due to you.

Act decent (do not swear or belittle the person) at all times but do not think that it is wrong to be firm and demand what is contractually due to you.

We as a church and I as a person have often received excellent service and we have always acknowledged this service and thanked the suppliers (including letters published in the Rekord thanking people for their good service). Let us treat everyone equal and supply good service at all times – it will make a world of difference.

As die tafel maar kon praat..

H2406

My Ouma het altyd sedert die 50’s die gesegde gehad wanneer ons saam aan tafel was: ‘ As hierdie tafel maar net kon praat’.

Dan het sy ons vertel van gebeure en gesprekke wat rondom hierdie reuse familietafel plaasgevind het.

Behalwe vir die familie en vriende was daar ook vername en openbare f igure, pastore en kerkleiers. Dan was die beste voorgesit en met die grootste toegewydheid en liefde aangebied.

Slegs die heel beste was goed genoeg. Ouma se tafel was vir ons die wonderlikste plek denkbaar. Vandag nog is ons deurdrenk van die goeie herinneringe van daardie tafel. Soms somber, en vol deernis, dalk ook met ‘n traan, maar soms ook guitig en vol vreugde. Hier is baie keer intiem verkeer, maar wanneer die familie opdaag, sit ons tot 15 aan hierdie besondere ou handgemaakte tafel. As hierdie tafel maar net kon praat..!’

Die Evangelieskrywer Markus maak ook melding van enkele tafels met besondere boodskappe. Ons noem slegs een: ‘En terwyl hulle aan tafel was en eet, sê Jesus: ‘Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, een van julle sal My verraai, een wat saam met My eet…’

Die eerste storie wat hierdie tafel vertel is een van van bymeBetsie en Phillip herderspaar van kaarkom, feesvier en om die uittog uit Egipte te herdenk. Hoe Simfonéa. Uit die pen van Phillip van die God van Israel Sy volk vanuit slawerny en verdrukking na Rhyn.

Dit beteken om erfgenaam te word van die grootste boedel in die ganse heelal en as bonus die ewige lewe te erf!

Mind blowing!

Acts 2:7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?

(NKJV) The outpouring of the Holy Spirit as recorded in the book of Acts marks the birth of the Church, one of the most important historical events that ever took place. When we consider the account of these happenings a few things immediately become evident. Firstly the newborn church started out with ordinary people that received the Holy Spirit and through this were transformed into world changers! Right from the very first moment, the church started growing because every bystander was completely amazed by the way in which God moved in and through the believers. Through the working of the Holy Spirit, the believers reached out across the boundaries of language and culture and people of every walk of life, ethnicity, age group and background were included in the ever-increasing number of believers.

As God’s children it is imperative that we understand that He called us to be extraordinary. Our lives on earth should consistently yield tangible evidence of the goodness and power of God. God’s involvement in our lives (through the working of the Holy Spirit) sets us apart in the way we think, operate and do life. Because of this, our lives should look different from people who are not serving God. The only way in which this becomes possible is by aligning our focus with God’s perspective as we find it in the Word (Matthew 6:23). Only when we do this, can we start living lives guided by the Holy Spirit and completely set apart for the will and purpose of God. The Church of Acts caused a general uproar in their community.

Not only did people marvel at what they saw in the lives of the believers, they were also moved to talk about it. Their lives shouted out in testimony to the astounding God that they served.

Their everyday-ordinary-lives were such that it overwhelmed people around them with an awareness of God. Some people responded in awe, some in mockery and some in confusion but nobody was left unresponsive! Rather than reflecting their ordinary selves, they accurately reflected through the way they interacted and lived, who God is. Since the Church of Acts serves as a model of what God wants the Church to look like, it goes without saying that this should still be the norm today.

If our lives are not such that it prompts people to be amazed to the point of speaking about it, it means that we are missing the mark.

The key to living a mind blowing, extraordinary, God-reflecting kind of life is found in Acts 1:8 where we find the promise that the baptism of the Holy Spirit goes hand-in-hand with receiving power. As a result of the indwelling Spirit of God, we will become witnesses – people with first hand experience of the power of God in our lives.

Without the Holy Spirit, we do not have the power or capacity to live exceptional lives. In fact, an absence of the Holy Spirit in our lives leaves us prone to sap power and energy rather than live dynamic lives that empower and inspire others. In Ephesians 5:18 the Apostle Paul likens a life lived under the influence of the Holy Spirit to someone who is under the influence of wine – such a person loses all fear of people and manifests behaviour and confidence in accordance with the substance they abused rather than their actual personality. Likewise, we should yield to the Holy Spirit in such a way that our own personalities, limitations, fears and scruples fall away. When this happens, there are certain things that will immediately become evident in our lives. People that live under the influence of the Holy Spirit can confidently (Acts 2:42 Ephesians 5:19): • Speak the Word • Have a song in their hearts • Engage in consistent thanksgiving to God • Submit to one another Does a mind blowing, amazing, extraordinary life not sound so much better than mundane and ordinary living?

THE FORTUNES OF NIGEL Vorsterskroon & Pretoriusstad Alive & proud There is more to the quaint town of Nigel than meets the eye. Nigel is a small gold mining town in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The town is on the edge of the area known as the East Rand, the industrial engine room of Johannesburg.

A prospector, reading Sir Walter Scott’s The Fortunes of Nigel at the time discovered gold on the farm Varkensfontein in 1886 and immediately formed the Nigel Gold Mining Company. The town which grew around the mine still bears names derived from Scott’s book. Nigel has an estimate of 40 000 citizens.

Today the town offers a variety of industries such as mining, steel, engineering, rail, building material, food, transport, power, automotive and plastic. Vorsterskroon and Pretoriusstad employ people from Nigel and surrounds, as well as Boksburg, Benoni and even Johannesburg.

Working together with local suppliers helps to ensure sustainability and confidence in our economy. And talking about the successes of Nigel attracts future business partners.

In so doing the Company is committed to the achievement of real growth in earnings, to meet its responsibilities to employees, customers and shareholders. The Company directs its efforts towards continual improvement in the professional management of all its resources and appropriate use of available technology to meet internationally accepted levels of quality and productivity in order to supply the South African and international markets. As an equal opportunity organization, based upon ability, individual achievement can be attained within a safe and healthy working environment.

We have been gaining momentum over the last decade with world class standards in developing products for all major motor manufacturers, boasting with our top class quality testing facility and development team, which is the cornerstone of our success. Our production facility that’s run from three sites in Nigel, Pretoriusstad stands as a major contributor to the local community employment, employing some 500 people to keep up with the requirements of the market growth.

Supreme Spring has been active in getting its employees involved with the community by joining a soccer league with Supreme Spring FC. Started in 2016 this soccer team is taking its fellow employees to another level of team building.

Another activity that has been going on for a number of years is Supreme Spring “Team Eish” running club, keeping all of the staff in tip top shape. This initiative has been the responsibility of our HR Director Joyce Gressel.

In our endeavours in working with all the automotive manufacturers producing world class suspension products we often have challenging requests to build some extreme enduring products. This led us to be the proud manufacturer of the Toyota Hilux Dakar and the Yaris Rally vehicle springs, thereby taking our name across the world and placing Nigel on the map.

The company’s expansion in the aftermarket since 2016 has seen the introduction of Cobra Suspensions to our local market. This is a registered South African trademark, that encompasses heavy duty uprated and lowered springs and coil over kits. Over the past four years this segment has seen year-on-year improvements in the overall sales volumes. The South African market, especially the 4x4 market thrives on modifications to adapt to our road conditions. On the other hand, styling cars by lowering the suspensions, especially with the youngsters dropping the suspension of the cars as seen at almost every one of the speed & sound and show & shine motor shows around the country is very popular and almost a must for this generation.

Nigel se trots!

Tussen die dikwels mistroostige, vaal en onindrukwekkende fabrieksgeboue van Vorsterskroon en Pretoriusstad, Nigel se nywerheidsgebiede, klop ‘n vibrante, polsende en indrukwekkende dinamika wat Nigel tussen die grotes van fabrieksgebiede aan die Oos-Rand plaas.

Vorsterskroon en Pretoriusstad mag op die oog af na lelike eendjies lyk, maar sonder hierdie gebiede en hul bultende vervaardigingsbedrywe met moderne masjinerie, innovasie, deeglike beplanning en ‘n toegewyde arbeidsmag, sou Nigel nie kon spog met ‘n eend wat goue eiers lê nie.

Multi miljoen Rand omsette is niks buitengewoon nie, maar in die harde en ongenaakbare fabriekswêreld is daar iets anders wat Vorsterskroon en Pretoriusstad besonders maak.

Dis hul rykdom aan mensemateriaal wat die fabrieke, klein en groot, bedryf met ‘n toegewyde arbeidsmag wat van Vorster-skroon en Pretoriusstad ‘n kosbare juweel gemaak het.

In hierdie uitgawe konsentreer Rekord op ‘n klompie van hierdie fabrieke waarop Nigel met reg trots kan wees.

NIGEL/HEIDELBERG REKORD - ONLINE EDITION www.rekord.org.za

Tackle bullying by the horns The increase in the number and severity of bullying incidents in schools calls for urgent and sustained intervention, an education expert has warned.

“Almost every week we hear of another desperate learner or parent having to deal with the physical and emotional trauma of bullying, yet society and authorities’ responses continue to be reactive and unsuccessful in addressing the bigger issue,” says education expert Dr Gillian Mooney, Teaching and Learning Manager at The Independent Institute of Education.

“These cases making it into the media represent only a fraction of the mistreatment many children go through. But the devastating consequences of bullying are leaving a lasting mark on the lives of countless youngsters, and the problem will continue growing unless an effective strategy is developed and consistently enforced,” she says.

Mooney says that national and provincial education departments throughout South Africa do have policies and procedures in place, albeit to varying degrees, on how schools should respond to bullying behaviour.

However more needs to be done to consistently support and educate learners, parents and schools to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone on the school grounds, she says.

Mooney acknowledges that the challenge is enormous, and says that the crisis of bullying relates to more than just schools.

“Society itself has become a virtual fight club, with examples of bullying behaviour abounding on social media, for instance. people feel free to behave appallingly, to the degree that anti-social behaviour has become almost accepted practice.”

“Bullying has a ripple effect, where it is the bully, the victim and the bystander who are affected. Other problematic home circumstances, for instance

domestic abuse, divorce or the death of a parent, could also provide context in which the bully seeks to gain power through negative behaviour.”

She says it is important that high-profile and easily accessible structures and processes are put in place to help schools deal with bullying, as teachers often feel their hands are tied and victims of bullying feel that they have no voice. Additionally, bullies themselves should receive adequate support and counselling.

Dangerous misconceptions about bullying False: Adults should stay out of it when children are bullied.

Adults must become involved. Teachers can monitor bullies to deter bullying behaviour. Principals can discipline. Parents can report to schools.

False: Boys are the most likely victims. Both boys and girls are equally susceptible to bullying, although perhaps in different ways. Both boys and girls are the targets of physical bullying. Girls are more likely to experience relational, sexual and cyberbullying.

False: Children should just toughen up. This myth is a hangover from ideas like “boys will be boys” and that children will “work it out”. Bullying can cause real harm and should not be ignored.

False: Bystanders should stay out of it when they witness bullying.

Evidence suggests that bystanders are also affected by witnessing bullying. Observers also give bullies the audiences that they crave, and legitimacy if they do not sanction the behaviour. Children can be taught to reduce bullying by noticing, reporting and intervening.

False: It is easy to spot a bullied child. Children do not report everything that happens in their lives to their parents. Adults need to f ind ways to make reporting bullying easier for children, and to follow up effectively when they do.

Water restrictions The City of Ekurhuleni is implementing a 10% punitive rate to step up measures to save water.

The Water and Sanitation Department announced that the City had only achieved a 0.8% saving rate compared to the required 15% water saving since the implementation of water restrictions.

Residents using more than 25 kilolitres (kl) of water will be charged a 10% punitive rate. The 25kl is inclusive of the 6kl of free water supply provided to all household and domestic users.

Businesses and other users will be charged up to a 40% penalty if they fail to decrease their annual average usage by 15%.

This average will be based on their consumption over 12 months, from September 2015 to August 2016. Municipal by-laws will strongly be enforced to transgressors as per the water restriction tariffs of 2016/2017. The City urges residents to double up efforts to save water.

Restrictions currently in place include that there should be no use of hosepipes, sprinklers, irrigation systems, no filling of swimming pools at all times. In addition, there should be no watering of gardens between 6am and 6pm. The City of Ekurhuleni will apply zero tolerance to illegal connection of Minette Gerber, hier in aksie tydens die water such as the use of fire hydrants or any other unauthorised SA landloop kampioenskappe.

What is Short Term Insurance?

Handling Claims An insurance policy outlines certain risks that will be covered by the insurer should they one day take place. For instance, if a thief breaks into your house and steals your electrical appliances, you will be able to file a claim for these stolen goods.

In most cases, you will be required to pay the excess on these items. This is essentially a small predetermined amount of money toward the replacement of these appliances. The balance will then be settled by your insurer.

It is important that you ensure your cover remains relevant as time passes. The balance of a claim will not be settled by the insurer if your valuables and assets are under-insured.

Finding an Insurance Provider There are over 100 short term insurers available to South African consumers. When looking for an insurance provider, it is recommended that you get as many quotations as possible. In this regard it is best to make use of an insurance broker who will be able to present you with multiple options from a range of insurers.

The criteria for deciding which insurance provider to settle on should be based on a comparison between the different insurance providers. Compare the monthly or annual premiums you’ll be required to pay, evaluate which insurer offers a better excess fee on claims that you may lodge and find out if all your established risks are covered by the policy in question.

Conclusion Insurance is an age-old system of risk management that has taken on new meaning in our consumer orientated society. Risks go hand in hand with the accumulation of assets, property and valuables. The most effective way of avoiding unforeseen financial crises is to hand these risks over to an insurer.

Overall, short term insurance is a valuable method of ensuring the security of your wealth and possessions without long-term commitment and large premiums.
