Arend vlieg weg met hond Jens Friis

DIE lewe van ’n poedel is kortge­ knip toe ’n arend hom opgeraap het en sy base moes toekyk hoe dié roofvoël met hom al tjankend wegvlieg.

Die treurspel het Vrydagoggend by die Wurasoord­afrit tussen

Bloemfontein en Edenburg plaasge­ vind.

“Baby, ons poedel van 11 maande, was onrustig in die kar.

Ons het gedog sy wou haar nood verlig en het van die N1 getrek.

Dalk was dit die hitte of iets wat haar gepla het, want Baby het veel meer sin gehad in ’n dooie diertjie

wat daar naby gelê het as om ’n draai te loop. Ons het haar telkemale geroep,” vertel ’n ontstelde Gill Smith van Oos­Lon­ den.

Hulle het besluit om die stopslag te gebruik en toebroodjies daar te eet. Gill (71) en haar man, Steve (73), het die kos en koeldrank uit die bagasieruim gehaal toe hulle iets deur die lug hoor swiep en hoe Baby vreeslik tjank skuins bokant die plek waar die dooie dier lê.

“Ek kon my oë nie glo nie en my stem was skoon weg toe ek wou skree.”

Steve het sy arms woes gewaai, nader gehardloop en op “die groot, swart voël” gegil, maar hulle het nie ’n kans gestaan nie en “ons moes toekyk hoe die arend met ons babahond wegvlieg”.

Hulle het in die kar gespring en die arend langs ’n grondpad agternagesit.

“Maar dit was vergeefs. Die arend het weg van die grondpad

’n Witkruisarend in vlug. gevlieg en die laaste wat ons kon sien, was dat Baby leweloos in sy kloue hang. Dalk het ons arme hondjie ’n hartaanval gekry. Maar ons is seker sy is dood. ’n Arend sal nie só ’n onskuldige diertjie laat wegkom nie.”

En só het die Smiths toe met ’n seer hart in hul bakkie die pad verder aangepak na hul kinders op ’n plaas anderkant Vryburg.

“Die kleinkinders het vreeslik daarna uitgesien om met Baby te speel. En nou sal ons vir hulle die slegte nuus kort voor Kersfees moet bring.”

Louise Coetzee van BirdLife

Tussen Bloemfontein en Edenburg by die N1 se afrit na Wurasoord het ’n poedel met sy lewe geboet toe ’n arend hom gevang het.

Vrystaat sê wat gebeur het, is seldsaam.

“Gevalle is wel al aangeteken waar kroonarende wat in woude voorkom, honde in Pietermaritzburg se omgewing vang.”

Maar kroonarende kom nie in die Vrystaat voor nie.

“Hier is wel breëkoparende, dwergarende en roofarende.”

Die waarskynlikste is witkruis­ arende waarvan sy al heelwat in die Edenburg­omgewing gesien het.

“Witkruisarende vang graag dassies. Die poedel kon omtrent dieselfde grootte as ’n dassie gewees het en die arend kon hom só misgis het. Poedels loop immers nie normaalweg op die Vrystaatse vlaktes rond nie.”

Louise twyfel of die dooie diertjie waaraan Baby gesnuffel het ’n rol in die arend se vangs gespeel het, “want arende steur hulle gewoonlik nie aan dooie diere nie”.

Vriendelikheid wen vir Daniël harte Ruan Bruwer SELFAANGESTELDE motorwagte kan alte dikwels ’n irritasie wees.

Sodra jy by ’n winkel stop, is hulle daar om parkeerplek aan te wys en wanneer jy weer by jou voertuig kom, raak hulle dikwels opdwingerig vir ’n geldjie.

Een van die uitsonderings op die reël is Daniël van Wyk wat by die Delta­drankwinkel op die hoek van die Tweede Laan en Pres. Reitzstraat voertuie oppas.

Jy sien hom maklik raak. Hy is in ’n rolstoel en voorwaar ’n aangename motorwag.

Jy tref hom die afgelope vyf jaar hier aan.

Die Delta­drankwinkel is so ingenome met hom, hulle het selfs sy rolstoel vir hom gekoop.

Hulle betaal hom ook weekliks.

“Voordat ek hier gekom het, is ek dikwels weggejaag omdat ek in ’n rolstoel is. Toe ek hier kom, het die eienaar, George Koupis, gesê ek kan bly solank ek net nie klante lastig val nie.

“Mense vra soms of die rolstoel nie ’n fake is nie. Hier was vroeër ’n man in ’n rolstoel wat gebedel het, maar hy het dan smiddae gerieflik uit die rolstoel opgestaan en huis toe geloop. Mense het gedink dit was ek.

“As ek kon loop, sou ek opgestaan en die rolstoel weggegooi het,” het Van Wyk gesê.

Hy is die afgelope 15 jaar op ’n rolstoel aangewese nadat hy in ’n aanval in sy rugmurg

‘

Ek is altyd vriende­ lik met die publiek en gevolglik hulle met my ook.

As mense sê hulle het niks vir my nie is dit okei. Ek is nie opdringend nie, ek hou my afstand. Hulle sal my self roep as hulle wil gee.

gesteek is.

“Ek het van die werk af gekom toe sewe ouens op my toegesak het. My broer was die dag in ’n bakleiery met hulle betrokke, toe kom soek hulle hom by die huis.

“Toe hulle hom nie kry nie, maak hulle my seer om hom terug te kry.”

Van Wyk het sy werk verloor.

Hy reken nie mense gee vir hom ’n geldjie om sentimentele redes nie.

“Ek het vir myself gesê dit gaan nie oor die rolstoel nie, maar oor my maniere.

“Ek is altyd vriendelik met die publiek en gevolglik hulle ook met my. As mense sê hulle het niks vir my nie, is dit oukei. Ek is nie opdringerig nie, ek hou my afstand. Hulle sal my self roep as hulle wil gee.”

Hy is die broodwinner vir sy vrou en dogtertjie en sê hulle is sy grootste bekommernis.

Volgens hom tel sy gestremd­ heid nie teen hom in sy werk nie.

Sedert die ongeluk het hy begin rolstoelbasketbal speel en deesdae neem hy aan rolstoel­ wedrenne deel.

TWEE Suid­Afrikaners wat op besoek aan Amerika geld probeer verdien het deur as motorwagte te werk het besef dié beroep is nie so maklik soos professionele motorwagte in Suid­Afrika dit laat lyk nie.

Nic Smal en Gareth Allison, wat die Kaapse komedie­duo Derick Watts & The Sunday

“Ons probeer om ’n bietjie geld te maak deur een van die edelste werke te doen: Die kuns van motor­oppas,” voeg Smal by.

In die video het die twee weerkaatserbaadjies aan en pas hulle motors op verskeie

In ’n desperate poging om ’n geldjie te kry gaan staan hy voor ’n motor wat wil wegtrek en sê aan die twee vroue daarin hulle kan nie ry nie voordat hulle hom ’n fooitjie gegee het.

Die N1 suid van Bloemfontein word verbreed, maar dit behoort nie oponthoud vir vakansiegangers te veroorsaak nie. Op die agtergrond is Leeuwberg, net suid van Bloemfontein, sigbaar.

Padgebruikers kan juig oor N1 AS alles seepglad ver­ loop, sal daar byna geen verleggings op die N1 tussen Johan­ nesburg en Kaapstad wees in die vakansie­ tyd nie.

Luidens die Suid­ Afrikaanse Padagent­ skap (Sanral) se nuut­ ste padtoestand­ver­ slag is groot dele van die N1 tussen Johan­ nesburg en Kaapstad in ’n goeie toestand.

Volgens Attie Ba­ denhorst, Sanral­be­ stuurder van padin­ standhouding op die N1 tussen Bloemfon­ tein en Kroonstad, sal motoriste gemaklik op dié stuk pad kan be­ stuur.

“Daar sal oor De­ sember geen verleg­ gings by dié deel wees nie, ook nie skouerver­ lengings of stop­en­ry­ beheerpunte nie.

“Net vir 5 km tus­ sen Ventersburg en Kroonstad is die pad ’n bietjie ongemaklik,” het Badenhorst gesê.

Dan Louw, sy kolle­ ga vir die N1 tussen Co­ lesberg en Drie Sus­ ters, het gesê dié pad is “heel oop”.

“Die pad is werklik in ’n goeie toestand.

Ons beoog om op 5 Desember heeltemal klaar te wees, juis met die doel dat ons die vakansietyd vermy.

Dele van die pad is ook oorgeteer. Ons het regtig hard gewerk so­ dat ons ook vir ’n slag kan Kersfees hou,” het

Louw geskerts.

“Soos op enige pad sal ons standaard­in­ standhouding doen indien daar ’n ongeluk is, maar niks wat ver­ keer sal belemmer nie.”

Jerome Buys, wat vir padinstandhouding op die N1 tussen Beau­ fort­Wes en Laings­

burg verantwoordelik is, het gesê die pad is in ’n goeie toestand.

“Ons wou regtig nie werk oor die Kerstyd nie. Die pad is baie goed. Daar is nie ver­ leggings nie. Maar as daar ’n storm of iets vreemds kom, sal din­ ge natuurlik veran­ der.”

Verskonings oor duisternis nie aanvaarbaar

GEE MY KRAG: Een van die redes wat deur Eskom vir die afgelope dae se beurkrag aangevoer word, is “ ’n onvoorsiene dieseltekort”. Intussen het dié onderbrekings ’n reuse-impak op die land se ekonomie. (Sien berig langsaan). Dié foto is in Woodland Hills geneem terwyl die dag se laaste sonstrale die hemel oranje-rooi kleur.

Tee en beskuit is mos koningskos Jaap Steyn

DIT klink na ’n wolhaarstorie: Die Britse koningsgesin stap deur die wingerd op ’n Bolandse plaas en gaan drink tee by die Van der Merwes.

Tog het dit werklik gebeur tydens die besoek van die Britse koningsgesin aan Suid­Afrika in 1947. Die skrywer M.E.R. (M.E. Rothmann) vertel in 1951 daarvan in ’n brief aan haar dogter Anna nadat sy die volle verhaal van een van die betrokkenes gehoor het.

Die besoek was nogal omstrede.

Baie Afrikaner­nasionaliste het hul neus daarvoor opgetrek en Die Transvaler, met dr. H.F. Verwoerd as redakteur, het nie berigte daaroor geplaas nie.

By ons plaasskool het die onderwyseres in opdrag van die onderwysdepartement medaljes met (dink ek) die afbeelding van koning George VI aan elke leerling uitgedeel. Die meeste ouers was verontwaardig en my ma het gedreig om die ding in die kleinhuisie se gat te gooi – wat sy darem nie gedoen het nie.

Ook die gesin Van der Merwe was Nasionaliste en het maar eenkant gebly terwyl alles vir die

‘

Uitgedroogde beskuit, en natuurlik nat beskuit, ís heer­ lik, en dis geen wonder dit was koningskos nie. koninklike verblyf op die plaas gereed gemaak is.

Die koningsgesin het met ’n spesiale trein gery en sou een nag op ’n sekere plek stop. Die nag en die volgende dag kon hulle in die rus en stilte van die plaas herstel van al die huldigings en ander gedoentes.

Die koning en sy mense het die nag in die trein geslaap. Vroeg die volgende môre het die koning, sy vrou en een van die dogters – dalk die huidige koningin Eliza­ beth? – deur die wingerd na die plaashuis gestap.

Die Van der Merwes het hulle binnegenooi, tee gemaak en beskuit daarby voorgesit, want dit was die enigste lekkerny wat hulle op daardie oomblik gehad het.

Hulle het lekker sit en gesels.

Naderhand is die koningsgesin terug trein toe en het hulle die Van der Merwes genooi om die middag ’n draai by hulle te maak.

Daar het hulle ’n getekende portret van die koningsgesin ontvang.

Uitgedroogde beskuit, en natuurlik nat beskuit, ís heerlik, en dit is geen wonder dit was koningskos nie.

Jare later was dit M.E.R. en haar dogter se beurt om hoë gaste met beskuit te onthaal.

Dit was in 1963 en die eerste minister, die einste dr. Verwoerd, en sy vrou het ’n amptelike besoek aan M.E.R. se tuisdorp, Swellen­ dam, gebring. Die ampsdraers het die Verwoerds toegelaat om so 20 minute by ou vriende, M.E.R.­hulle, te kuier.

Die hoë gaste is onthaal met daardie selfde koningskos: tee en beskuit!

S Jaap Steyn is ’n skrywer van Bloemfontein.

WAAROM brand Nelson Mandelary­ laan se ligte helder oordag, terwyl Bloemfonteiners sommer meerdere keer ’n dag onder beurtkrag gebuk moet gaan?

Dít was die strekking van vele oproepe en briewe wat Bloemnuus ontvang het.

En met rede is inwoners (ek inkluis) ontevrede, want die situasie is onaanvaarbaar.

Boonop is dit somer. ’n Mens wil nie eens dink hoe erg die situasie sou wees as die elektrisiteitsverbruik hoog was in die winter nie.

Maar die ergste is dat Eskom se 11 grootbase, wat R52 miljoen per jaar verdien, grootliks self in die duister is oor die redes en of die land nog beurtkrag te wagte kan wees of nie.

Een van die redes wat vir die kragonderbrekings aangevoer word, is ’n dieseltekort. Maar hoe só iets onvoorsienbaar kan wees vir só ’n groot instansie, bly ’n ope vraag.

Eskom se beurtkrag het ’n reuse­impak op Suid­Afrika se ekonomie en kos die land die laaste paar jaar reeds etlike miljarde rande.

Minstens R100 miljard van die sowat R300 miljard­verlies sou aan die staatskas gegaan het, word gereken.

Dit kon tot ’n miljoen werkge­ leenthede geskep het, het die ekonoom Dawie Roodt gesê.

Die skade is reeds gedoen wanneer die ligte afgaan en die publiek en media daarop ag slaan, omdat Eskom teen die tyd dat beurtkrag in werking tree, reeds groot elektrisiteitsgebruikers gevra het om af te skaal.

Voorts kan die verlore beleggings, omdat mense eerder belê waar hulle weet hulle elektrisiteit gaan kry, nie bepaal word nie.

Só het jy geskryf S I HAVE just read your article on the front page of last week’s Bloemnuus. I agree as I too have a neighbour that has been doing cupboards in his garage for a few years now.

I have asked him on two or three occasions when he will stop, but it still continues.

The noise of the nail gun, wood saws and other machinery echoes through my house, week­ days, Saturdays and some Sun­ days.

I have stopped using my back yard altogether and have to keep my windows closed. In winter it is not so bad but now in summer it is one irritating noise after another floating through the house.

This is a residential area, not industrial. This type of work should be done elsewhere far from houses. If someone is renovating their house I understand, as soon it will be quiet again once they are finished. These past two days due to load shedding it has been so peaceful, I could once again hear the birds and open the windows.

Thank you for the interesting articles.

nuus op www.bloemnuus.co.za en op Facebook te blaai.

Ek woon jare nie meer in Bloemfontein nie maar in Eshowe, KwaZulu­Natal.

Misdadigers het omstreeks 02:30 kragkabels in Amsterdam­ straat, Noordhoek, gesteel. Centlec het ons krag nog voor 07:00 reg gehad, kabels vervang en alles.

Dit is skokkend dat mense kragkabels in die middel van ’n woonbuurt steel, maar ook merkwaardig dat Centlec die skade so vinnig kon regmaak.

’n Bees-trinchado-potjie

BEHALWE dat die Portugese die eerste toeriste was om ’n skip in Mosselbaai te anker, is hulle ook bekend vir ’n paar suksesse in die kook­ kuns, skryf Jan Braai in sy boek Vuurwarm.

Een van hul beste is die ryk knoffel­ en brandrissie­gegeurde beesbredie bekend as trinchado.

In teorie kan jy met die bestanddele van die resep vir agt mense kos gee, maar ek het al geleer dat dit een van daardie lekker geregte is waarvan almal ’n tweede keer inskep.

1. Gooi die sojasous oor die blokkies vleis.

Braai nou die vleis in die pot om dit te seël en die sappigheid binne te hou; doen dit in sarsies, soveel as wat gelyk onder in die pot pas.

As jou pot groot genoeg is, kan jy natuurlik ook al die vleis gelyk braai. Kry ordentlike hitte in jou pot deur dit reg bo­op die vlamme te sit.

Sit ’n sopie olyfolie en ’n sopie botter in die pot en braai omtrent ’n derde van die vleis.

Haal die vleis uit en hou dit eenkant.

Sit nog ’n sopie olyfolie en ’n sopie botter by en braai die volgende derde.

Teen die tyd dat jy by die laaste derde kom, sal daar genoeg botter en olyfolie in die pot oor wees.

2. Wanneer jy die laaste sarsie vleis verbruin het, gooi jy die res van die vleis ook in die pot (tensy alles natuurlik gelyk in jou groot genoeg pot verbruin is).

Voeg nou die uie, knoffel, rooipeper en lourierblare by en braai omtrent 10 minute totdat die uie sag is.

3. Gooi die vleisaftreksel, brandewyn, wyn, sout en peper by. Verhit totdat die sous begin prut, sit die deksel op en laat die potjie rustig vir omtrent ’n uur voortprut totdat die vleis heeltemal sag is en al die smake lekker saamgesmelt het.

4. Haal die deksel af en roer die olywe, room en suurlemoenskil by.

Kry dit aan die borrel en laat prut sonder die deksel vir nog so 10 minute totdat die sous begin verdik.

5. Haal van die vuur af en laat vir ’n paar minute rus. ’n Rojale hoeveelheid sous is deel van hierdie gereg, so bedien hom gerus ook in bakke en eet die sous met lepels.

Ek weet dit klink na moeite om suurlemoen­

skil te rasper, maar daar is kere dat jy dit net regtig moet doen. En hierdie is sonder twyfel een van daardie gevalle.

Om suurlemoenskil te rasper is regtig nie moeilik nie, dit ruik lekker en sal jou laat lyk soos ’n kenner.

Dit gee ’n unieke geur aan hierdie gereg wat net nie dieselfde daarsonder sal wees nie.

SUID­AFRIKANERS vier elke jaar op 24 September Nasionale Braaidag. ’n Dag vir al die inwoners van Suid­Afrika om lekker te ontspan en saam met hul vriende en familie rondom die vleisbraaivure te kuier.

Die dryfkrag agter die instel­ ling is ’n man bekend as Jan Braai.

In sy tweede boek, Vuurwarm, gaan Jan verder as algemene raad oor vuurmaak en die braai van steak, tjops, hoender en wors. Hy daag ons uit om ook sy heerlike waterblommetjie­potjie, pannekoek, hoendermayonnaise­ broodjies en liplekker brandewyn­ tiramisu op ’n oop vuur te probeer maak.

Vuurwarm spog ook met maklike instruksies, volkleurfoto’s en Jan se kenmerkende braaihu­ mor. Dié pragboek bevat meer as 80 lusmaakresepte, wat alle braaiers – van beginners tot dié wat wéét – sal inspireer om vriende en familie vir smulkos en samesyn te nooi.

Jan Scannell – beter bekend as Jan Braai – is ’n Suid­Afri­ kaanse instelling so eie aan ons land soos sy groot passie – vleis en vleisbraai. Dié aktiwiteit wat Suid­Afrikaners saambind, is immers om kos oor oop vure gaar te maak. Watter lekkerder manier is daar om samesyn te vier as met braai?

Raad keur 3 sake vir munisipale woonerwe goed Marietjie Gericke MUNISIPALE erwe­ontwikkeling op raadsgrond was onder die loep op die jongste Mangaung­ metro se spesiale raadsvergade­ ring waarop drie sake oor munisipale erwe­ontwikkeling gedien het.

Die gebiede ter sprake is in Turflaagte, Freedom Square en Chris Hanipark. Die doel is om woonerwe te skep.

Die metro het ál drie ont­ wikkelings goedgekeur. In Turflaagte word ’n erf wat nie meer vir ’n gemeenskapsgerief benodig word nie, in 69 woonerwe verdeel.

In Freedom Square is groot, oop openbare ruimte deur informele behuising ingeneem waar die raad toe dienste moes voorsien, en wat nou geformali­

seer word. Daar kan 117 woonerwe, een sakeperseel, een kerkerf, een oop ruimte en vyf persele vir selfoonmaste voorsien word.

In Chris Hanipark word 52 woonerwe op ’n oop ruimte voorsien.

Pierre van Biljon van die DA het die skepping van formele woonerwe verwelkom, aangesien ’n groot vraag na sulke erwe bestaan en omdat persoonlike eienaarskap lewensgehalte en omgewingtrots sal meebring.

Hy het egter daarop gewys nie te veel oop ruimtes word in behuising omskep nie en dat toegesien moet word dat ruimte vir kinderspeelplek gelaat word.

“Kinders moet oop ruimtes en parke hê om ’n sokkerbal daar te kan rondskop,” het Van Biljon gesê.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS, PEACE, PROSPERITY, LOVE AND GOOD HEALTH? My dearest friends and fellow Africans, do not waste time and money to take spiritualists who promise and don’t deliver. I guarantee you. The Great Papa Magi will never disappoint you. Only one visit to him and you will live smiling. I am OMIE SINGH, a resident of Pietermaritzburg, after I saw an article in the paper saying that The Great Papa Magi charges only R200. I believed in him, I booked an appointment and met with him at his beautiful temple. In Bloemfontein at Waverley next to spar.

Before I met him, I was struggling financially and I could not stay in relationships, whoever came in my life, and then something happened and my girlfriend left me. It was like a bad omen on me, but after I saw The Great Papa Magi, he touched my forehead and palms, and prayed for me and told me to wait for seven days. In just 3 days, my girlfriend requested us to meet with her at their home. On arrival, she knelt down and told me she was ready to be my wife. We made a great wedding and are happy now. The Great Papa Magi is the right person to solve our society problems. You can find him at Waverley Bloemfontein next to Spar. Thanks to him again.

Stef en orkes kom na Sand du Plessis Jens Friis NÁ baie solovertonings bring Stef Bos die eerste keer in sewe jaar sy orkes van Nederland na Suid­Afrika.

“Die vertoning gaan ’n wonderlike huwelik tussen die Noorde en die Suide wees – ’n liefdesverklaring aan die wêreld en die lewe, met die nodige humor wat nooit ver weg op Bos se konsert is nie,” sê Adriana Kamper, koördineerder van dié konserte.

Die afgelope halfjaar toer Bos­hulle met die vertoning Mooie Waansinnige Wêreld in Nederland en België en die een ná die ander saal se sitplekke is uitverkoop. Dié toer word in Suid­Afrika afgesluit.

Op Donderdag 26 Februarie om 19:30 sal Bloemfonteiners ’n beurt in die Sand du Plessis­tea­

ter kry. Daar sal ook vertonings in Kaapstad en Pretoria wees.

Kaartjiepryse wissel van R150 tot R180 en is reeds by Pacofs te kry.

Stef stel ook sy nuwe Afrikaanse CD, Kaalvoet, bekend.

Só skryf Flip Vellinga in die Meppeler Courant: Meer dan in het verleden is Stef Bos één met zijn band. Mooie waanzinnige wereld is het resultaat van maanden sleutelen, repeteren en ego’s opzij schuiven. Het resul­ taat mag er zijn. Bos ontroert, daagt uit en grijpt je bij de lurven. Dit is een goed inge­ speeld stel muzikanten. Soms klinkt er een vleugje jazz, soms zijn bluesinvloeden hoorbaar.

Maar bovenal is er de stem van Stef, die een ode brengt aan de vergankelijkheid. Het is de liefdesverklaring die hij de komende maanden aflegt in de theaters in het land.

Eunice sit oorsese kore ore aan Elretha Britz TWEE Bloemfonteinse skoolkore wat die naweek in internasionale kompetisies in Europa opgetree het, het die wêreld gewys wat aan die suidpunt van Afrika vermag kan word.

Die koor van die Hoër Meisie­ skool Eunice het ’n triomfantelike oorwinning as die beste koor in die Advent­ en Kersmusiekfees in Bratislava, Hongarye, behaal.

Onder leiding van Retha Visser

en met Elza Vosloo as begeleier het die koor al drie sy afdelings gewen en die Grand Prix­trofee met 99% verower, die hoogste punt wat nóg in die nege jaar van die kompetisie toegeken is.

Mag Marais, onderhoof van Eunice en die bestuurder van die koor, het laat weet hul mededin­ gers was jeugkore wat uit studen­ te bestaan.

Die deelnemers was van Ierland, die Oekraïne, talle uit Rusland en die Tsjeggiese Repu­

bliek, Brittanje, Pole, Letland en ’n koor van Kaapstad.

Koorkenners van verskeie lande was in die beoordelaarsgroep.

Die Eunice­koor wys die week ook sy slag in die 15de Internasio­ nale Kompetisiefees van Advent­ en Kersmusiek in Praag, Tsjeggië.

Die koor van die Hoërskool Sentraal het onder Corné van Pletzen die jeugkoor­afdeling in ’n Kersfees­koorfees in Krakow, Pole, gewen. Hans Potgieter begelei die koor.

How much to pay domestic worker QUESTION: I have an employee that works in my garden seven hours per week. How much should he be paid according to the law? What else am I by law required to do: Must he be registered anywhere?

ANSWER: Our labour laws consider a gardener, i.e. someone who works in your garden, as a domestic worker. In South Africa the employment conditions of a domestic worker is governed by Sectoral Determination 7 which deals specifically with the employ­ ment conditions of a domestic worker, and therefore also of your gardener.

This determination also determi­ nes the minimum wages a domestic worker must be paid, and by implication also your gardener.

The minimum wages are determi­ ned with reference to the following factors:

S Where the gardener works (wages are prescribed for two areas, namely Area A and Area B); and S The number of hours worked per week.

Area A refers to the major metropolitan areas (municipal boundaries have been used to distinguish between the two areas) and the rest of South Africa falls under Area B. Domestic workers who fall under Area A are entitled to a slightly higher minimum wage than workers which fall under Area B. Bloemfontein qualifies as a major metropolitan area (Area A) and your gardener will have to be remunerated at the minimum wage applicable to Area A. With the second factor, namely the number of hours worked, Sectoral Determination 7 distinguis­ hes between domestic workers who work 27 hours or more per week

and those who work 27 hours or less per week, with domestic workers who work 27 hours or less per week qualifying for a slightly higher hourly rate than those who work for more than 27 hours per week. This is to assist the worker who does not have a full­time job.

So, we have established that your gardener is a domestic worker and must be remunerated accor­ ding to Area A minimum wages.

Because he works only seven hours a week, he will fall under the second category of wages relating to workers that work less than 27 hours per week.

The domestic worker wages were recently adjusted and the following minimum wages apply from 1 December: For domestic workers who work more than 27 ordinary hours per week: S Area A (those in major metro­ politan areas) R10,95 hourly rate,

X1PHGYND-BL111214

R476,68 weekly rate and R2 065,47 monthly rate.

S Area B (those not covered in Area A) R9,30 hourly rate, R418,32 weekly rate and R1 812,57 monthly rate.

For domestic workers who work 27 ordinary hours per week or less: S Area A (those in major metro­ politan areas) R12,40 hourly rate, R334,74 weekly rate and R1 450,33 monthly rate.

S Area B (those not covered in Area A) R10,98 hourly rate, R296,35 weekly rate and R1 284,09 monthly rate.

In your situation, the seven hours a week will justify paying your gardener on an hourly basis amounting to a minimum wage of R86,80 per week for seven hours of work (based on a rate of R12,40 per hour).

Workers who work more than 24 hours per month for an

employer must be registered for UIF (Unemployment Insurance Fund).

As your gardener works 28 hours per month (7 hours for 4 weeks) you will have to register your gardener for UIF with the Department of Labour. This also means that you will have to contribute 2% of your gardener’s wages after registration to UIF (1% being paid by you as employer and 1% being deducted from the wages of your gardener). You can find out more about UIF at www.la­ bour.gov.za.

Make sure to take note of the employment requirements applica­ ble to domestic workers, and if necessary contact a labour specia­ list to assist you in making sure that you are in compliance with our labour laws.

Oppas vir bosluise BOSLUISE is ’n lastigheid, veral in die somer.

Hoewel hul byt selde ernstige gevolge kan hê, dra die kleine parasiete party­ keer patogene wat siektes soos bosluiskoors, wat ernstig is, kan veroorsaak.

Dus moet jy jou verkieslik teen die klein agtpotige

gediertetjies beskerm.

Die volgende raad word verskaf op health24.com: S Indien jy in die veld of in lang gras gaan stap, moet jy verkieslik ’n langmou­ hemp, langbroek en skoene met lang kouse dra, al is dit hoe warm.

S Bespuit jou met insek­

weerder. Daar is baie soorte weerders wat geformuleer is om bosluise mee te verdryf.

S Ondersoek jou troeteldie­ re gereeld vir bosluise. As voorkomingsmaatreël kan jy hulle ook sommer met bosluisgif bespuit of daarin bad.

DA ‘enigste bron van hoop’ Op die Kersparty vir bejaardes by die Siesta-aftreeoord in Bloemfontein. Van links is Sylvia van Aswegen, prof.

Marietjie Gericke TERWYL die DA pres. Jacob Zuma een uit tien in sy jaarlikse verslagkaart gegee het, het dr. Annelie Lotriet, voorsitter van die party in die Vrystaat in Bloemfontein, gesê dit is nou nodiger as ooit dat die DA gesteun word.

Lotriet het gepraat op die Kersparty vir bejaardes in die Siesta­aftreeoord in Bloem­ fontein waar sy ’n oorsig oor die gebeurlik­ hede in die parlement gegee het.

“Die ANC, EVV en DA, en die meeste van die ander opposisiepartye, begin toenemend probleme met die president van die land ervaar. Probleme wat nou bestaan, is die faksies binne die ANC. Die president se leierskap of gebrek daaraan én die deurlo­ pende verleentheid wat hy vir die party veroorsaak en sy algehele afwesigheid in die parlement is die sake wat uitgelig word.”

Sy sê ’n mens kan sien dat die president deur sy eie party in die parlement aan bande gelê word deurdat mense soos Jessé Duarte, adjunk­sekretaris­generaal, en Gwede Mantashe, sekretaris­generaal, self dit wat hy sê, sensor. “ ’n Mens sien selfs in die parlement dat van die ANC­lede nie eens hul eie hoofsweep ondersteun nie.”

Sy het gesê die EVV het ’n nuwe dinami­ ka na die parlement gebring en die debat­ voering is nou baie robuuster. “Die probleem is dat die EVV hulle geensins steur aan die reëls van die parlement nie.”

Lotriet sê daar word nie meer wegge­ skram van moeilike en sensitiewe aange­ leenthede nie, veral waar dit die president aangaan. “Die EVV maak tog ’n appèl op van mense se behoeftes wat hulle ervaar, hoewel sy beleid nie haalbaar is nie.”

Sy sê in dié omstandighede is dit regtig die DA wat die enigste oplossing kan bied en wat die enigste bron van hoop is in die baie moeilike ekonomiese omstandighede wat ervaar word. Die DA bewys dat hy deesdae baie meer steun kry soos in tussenverkiesings. Dit lyk baie goed op pad na 2016 se verkiesing toe.

Suid­Afrikaners kry ál meer velkanker Liani Jansen van Rensburg

X1PJ9B99-BL111214

MEER Suid­Afrikaners kry deesdae velkanker.

Só sê dr. Michael Herbst, hoofnavorser van gesondheid aan Kansa.

Volgens Herbst kan die somer moontlik ’n bydrae tot die toename lewer.

“Mense is geneig om meer in die son te lê om bruin te brand.

“So, die moontlikheid om sorgeloos in die son te wees vermeerder in die somer,” meen hy. “ ’n Ander aangeleentheid is ook die sonbeddens wat die jeug gebruik om bruiner te lyk voordat die somer begin.”

Volgens die nuutste statistieke van die Nasionale Kankerregister is in 2008 altesame 4 853 gevalle onder mans en 3 458 gevalle onder vroue aangemeld.

Dele van die vel soos die ore, voorkop en arms is geneig om velkanker op te doen.

Velkanker kom veral voor in lande waar die son sterk skyn, soos Suid­Afrika, het Herbst gesê.

Suid­Afrika het verlede jaar die vereiste standaarde vir son­velroomprodukte aangepas.

Luidens Kansa se amptelike standaardver­ slag moet alle produkte beskerming teen ultraviolet­A­ en ultraviolet­B­bestraling bied.

Die minimum sonbeskermingsfaktor (SPF) moet 20 wees en die meeste 50.

Use your ‘staycation’ for home improvements KNOWN as a “staycation”, many South Africans decide not to go away, but rather stay and relax at home for the holidays. With most service providers usually shutting down over the festive season, big projects are unlikely, how­ ever, it is the perfect time to do small improvements to your home that will not only freshen it up, but will also give you a great start to the new year.

“Using your ‘staycation’ to make small inexpensive improvements to spruce up your home can be a fun way to spend time on your home that you don’t get to do during the year,” says Simphiwe Madikizela, head of projects at FNB Housing Finance.

Use your ‘staycation’ to declutter Most homes, whether it is a small

apartment or a big home, tend to build up clutter throughout the year. Everything from broken items, piles of magazines, letters, to half­used bottles are piled up in a room, cupboards or in the garage.

“Clearing out the clutter during the holidays is actually the perfect time, as unwanted items can often make a great festive season gift, and by the end of the holiday your home will feel spacious and ready for the new year.”

Sort out one room at a time placing items in piles that are to be thrown away, given away or packed away.

“The items that you have decided to keep need to be stored neatly and labelled.

This will not only make your life easier when trying to find them again, but will also create more space in your home.”

Take on a bigger DIY project Whether it is adding shelves to the kitchen, or repainting a bedroom, now is the time to take on a project where the materials are fairly simple to acquire and not highly labour intensive.

Other DIY projects that are simple to take on in the various rooms in your home include: S mounting hooks in the kitchen to hang utensils or dish towels; S regrouting an old bathroom will take about two days, but will instantly refresh a manky bathroom; and S sanding and varnishing worn­out furnitu­ re items, be it doors, windows, et cetera.

Make it a family affair

0 0 0 0 0 0

Consider involving your family in a home project.

“You can also involve the family in home projects, for example take your children to a building store and get them to pick out colours, test them on the walls and help to repaint.”

Fast outdoor makeover Finally, use your staycation to neaten up your outdoor areas.

“It is summer, so if you have an outside balcony or garden, you will probably be spending lots of time there, entertaining or just enjoying the outdoors. You don’t need to spend any money on it, but a neat and well­ordered outside area is always refres­ hing.”

Spend time cleaning the pathways, paving and your patio, as well as give any outdoor furniture, canvas chairs, umbrellas and the ever­important braai a sprucing up.

If you have a garden, a quick way to neaten the overall effect is to define the borders, for example where the grass meets the plant bed.

“A staycation is the best time to give your home a bit of love and care, that will last you well into the new year.”

“None of these household items are expensive to replace, or particularly difficult to do.”

When replacing light bulbs consider buying LED lights, which are both energy efficient and cost effective.

Survey: 68% holiday deprived BY this time of the year most working South Africans suffer from a phenomenon known as “cerebral overload” – it is when you simply can’t meet the ongoing demands to process any further information.

With most of us at breaking point it seems absurd that 61% of those polled will be taking even less time off these holidays than last year and that a staggering 46% have only put in a mere five days’ vacation time – leaving an average 86 million days of unused paid holiday untouched.

This is according to a just­released mental health survey conducted by Pharma Dyna­ mics, one of the fastest growing generic pharmaceutical providers of anti­depressants in the country.

The company polled over 1 000 working men and women in South Africa during the past month about work stressors and vacation time to get behind the worrying trend.

Mariska van Aswegen, spokesperson of Pharma Dynamics, says what makes matters worse, is that almost half (49%) of those that will be taking an end­of­year break, won’t be doing so without checking and responding to work emails and phone calls whilst on holiday, which is a sure­fire recipe for burnout.

She warns that too little time off and not taking a proper break from work is detri­ mental to one’s health, mental well­being and relationships.

“The amount of information employees have to manage in their jobs continues to increase at an alarming rate. As things stand, South African professionals spend an average 9,5 hours of their day in the office, more so than their counterparts in the USA and UK who respectively spend 8,8 and 8,2 hours in the office daily.

“When you live in a chronic state of unresolved stress and anxiety your brain starts to mildly freeze and that is when indecisiveness or ‘analysis paralysis’ starts to set in. You struggle to think straight and it becomes increasingly difficult to make the right calls when it comes to even the most mundane tasks. The brain requires substan­ tial downtime to remain industrious. Taking a proper holiday is as indispensable to the brain as water is to the body,” says Van Aswegen.

Even though 75% of respondents whole­ heartedly agreed that taking a holiday greatly affects their overall happiness, why then do South Africans take so little time off to recoup?

Pharma Dynamics found that 60% of those polled haven’t asked for more year­ end holiday leave because work simply demands too much of their time; 26% however complained that their leave allocation was the bare minimum and that they therefore have to be selective about taking time off, while 14% said their employers discourage them from taking more time off – leaving 68% of respondents feeling holiday­deprived.

Van Aswegen cautions that whatever the motivation for overwork, eventually some­ thing does give.

“No one can run at full capacity all of the time. We all get tired, pressures build up and people get anxious. These tensions affect more than the individual employees and the office environment. They also come home. Family members and friends must endure the stresses and problems that arise from work, as well as from personal and family life. If you don’t pit stop on your own, life has a way of forcing you to take a break.

“The survey was done in an attempt to start a conversation about why South Africans need to take, if not all, but most of their holiday leave annually, for their own physical and mental health. Holidays help us to relax, recharge, reduce stress and enable us to build closer relationships with family and friends, which makes us happier,” says Van Aswegen.

When asked about how much annual leave would satisfy survey participants, the majority, 37%, said 30 days would make a significant difference, while 63% cited anything between 18 and 27 days as

reasonable. Those suffering from anxiety or compounded stress during the holidays can contact Pharma Dynamics’ toll­free helpline on 0800­205­026, which is manned by trained counsellors who are on call from 08:00 to 20:00, seven days a week.

Break away: Jagersfontein Not even dynamite, because of the danger to the other diggers and the fact that any explosion would have impacted on other people’s claims.

The mammoth task began three years before work started on the Big Hole in Kimberley.

During its working life, the Jagersfontein mine produced two of the ten largest diamonds in the world – the 972­carat Excelsior and the 637­carat Reitz, known today as the Jubilee Diamond.

Another of its claims to fame is that no less a villain than Al Capone boasted that the huge

HOW about a trip back in history to the time of the pioneers of the 19th century?

The journey will take you less than an hour. That is how long it will take you to get from Bloem­ fontein to Jagersfontein.

Jagersfontein – colloquially known as “Jaggers” – has a claim to fame that’s not widely recogni­ sed in that it boasts the biggest man­made hole on earth, bigger than the one in Kimberley.

What’s more, it was dug out of the rock by men using only picks and shovels. Nothing more sophisti­ cated.

diamond on his podgy finger came from there.

Apart from having a mine that’s justifiably included in the Guinness Book of World Records, the charming little town is home to a community workshop that produces some beautiful wirework.

Three “musts” in Jagersfontein are visits to the Big Hole, the nearby mining village museum, and the Glaasstudio in town to see the wireworkers in action and view their creations.

Get car and kids ready for trip WITH the holiday season fast approaching, families will soon start preparing for those long drives ahead.

“Keeping the kids safe and entertained is an important part of the trip,” says Les Mc Master, chairman of the Motor Industry Workshop Association (MIWA).

He says it is essential when travelling with young children to ensure that car seats are properly secured. Statistics show that up to 70% of car seats are incorrectly installed. Parents must also ensure that the seat is the age­appropriate size and kids who are big enough to use the normal seat belts are buckled in at all times.

“Children, especially toddlers, get fidgety when sitting still for more than two hours.

It is important to stop at regular intervals to give everyone a chance to stretch their legs and refuel for the next leg. Try to pick pit­stops with fun activities for children such as jungle gyms.

“This gives kids a chance to work off some energy without distracting mom or dad while they drive!”

Making sure the car is in tip­top conditi­ on ahead of the drive also needs to be a priority. Mc Master recommends looking out for pre­holiday safety check specials often offered by workshops ahead of the holiday season. “Don’t leave the service until the last minute as you may need new parts that need to be ordered and could take a few days.”

He also reminds drivers that every car should contain a breakdown kit with a flashlight in the event of an accident or breakdown after dark, and a fully­charged phone for communication during emergen­ cies.

Dealing with bored and grumpy children on a road trip can be challenging, so Mc Master offers these helpful tips for happy, safe journeys: S Pack snacks in the car to reduce the amount of hours wasted at often crowded roadside restaurants along the way. Juice boxes, cereal bars and the South African favourite, biltong, are always a good idea for hungry little people.

S Pack lots of water to prevent dehydrati­ on, and wet­wipes to clean sticky hands and spills.

S Revisit the traditional car games of 21 Questions, Eye Spy or Numberplate Cricket.

S If these don’t appeal, smartphones and tablets are loaded with games to appeal to a range of ages, and with the increase in educational games, could even teach your child a new skill by the time you reach your destination.

S Audio books are also a great idea.

Make sure to pick something that appeals to the whole family.

N. Marelette was single, but found a new husband who married her within 2-months after S. Zhaki had prayed for her.

Mr. P Hendrikson bought this lovely house 3- months after attending S. Zhaki's 1-day special prayer.

Mrs. K Gumede had no job, but after attending S. Zhaki's special prayer meeting in Bloem-CBD, I got this new permanent job a few weeks back.

Lekker op Bfn se ‘strand’

I met this powerful man S. Zhaki on a T.V. program Before I had suffered for years and tried many people for help but all failed. I could not believe it when he showed me my enemies in form of a dream and whatever they were doing to pull me down. Every single detail he showed me about my enemies in the form of a dream and whatever they were doing to pull me down.

Afrika se eerste binnelandse wêreldstrandvlugbal-toernooi word vandeesweek in die Rosestad gehou. Meer as 30 spanne van 32 lande neem aan die skouspel deel wat in Koningspark by die Waterfront aangebied word. Sowat 2 600 ton riviersand word hiervoor gebruik. Omdat die toernooi nie soos in die verlede by die see gehou word nie, is sandbane spesiaal vir die toernooi in die Rosestad gebou. Bloemfontein sal die toernooi die volgende drie jaar aanbied. Die Amerikaanse spanmaats Amanda Dowdy en Sarah Day (agter) was Maandag in aksie.

Foto: Emile Hendricks

S. Zhaki accurately read my fortune and told me all problems without me speaking a single word to him. Within 6 days after his prayers, my husband left his girlfriend and came back to me plus my enemies approached me and confessed the bad things they did to me.

Even though other have failed to deliver to your expectations, this may be your last chance to breakthrough no matter what problem you're facing ! Consultaion Fee: R100.

Hengelwinkel kry nuwe baadjie ULRICH SIRGEL en Jan Tolmay is die nuwe eienaars van die ou Hengel Mekka wat nou as Purple Carp in die Kays­sentrum in Barry Richterlaan, Fleurdal, bekend staan. Van die ouer henge­ laars sal oom Joe en tannie Stella Helmand onthou – die oorspronklike stigters en eienaars van Joe se Hengel­ hoek.

Die winkel is nou vyf maande onder nuwe eienaarskap en staan as die Purple Carp bekend.

Die uitleg van die winkel is ontwerp om die klant ’n heel ander gevoel te gee as die tipiese ou hengelwinkel.

Daar word onder meer beplan om ’n hele aantal klinieke by die winkel aan te bied vir die ouens wat graag meer wil leer.

Carike Barnard het met die eienaar, Sirgel, gesels.

Waar kom jou belangstel­ ling in hengel vandaan?

Ek en Jan hengel van kindsbeen af en ek het in 2004 die eerste keer my provinsiale kleure in oewer­ hengel verwerf waarna ek Suid­Afrikaanse Varswater­oe­ wer­hengelvereniging­ en Protea­kleure verwerf het.

Jan het self ook ’n hele klompie jare lank die Vrystaat as junior en senior hengelaar

Watter soort goed sal ’n mens in jul winkel aantref?

Ons doelwit is om aan elke hengelaar die beste raad en gerei binne die raamwerk van die klant se begroting te voorsien. Die winkel bestaan hoofsaaklik uit oewerhengel­ en spesie­toerusting, maar die vlieghengelaar, sowel as

seehengelaar, kan die nodige toerusting en eindgerei ook by ons kry.

Watter raad het jy aan hengelaars wat ’n lyntjie in ons plaaslike damme wil gaan natmaak?

Hou in gedagte dat die groter vis nou effens dieper sal wees. Die klein vis pla nogal tydens die somermaan­ de in die vlakker water, maar dit hou darem die jongspan goed besig.

Aas soos floats en degies saam is altyd ’n goeie roep en die ou staatmaker, amandel­ en bunspice­pitte, kan selfs die ou grote verlei om aas te vat.

Swemmers laat 13 rekords tuimel Ruan Bruwer

DIE tennisspan van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) is steeds die enigste tennisspan wat die Ussa-toernooi in sy nuwe formaat kon wen.

Die Kovsies het met die Maties in die eindstryd afgereken. Die Kovsies, kampioene sedert 2010, het dit daarmee vyf uit vyf gemaak sedert die mans en vroue saam in ’n span speel. Hul voorste manspeler, Arné Nel (foto), was soos verlede jaar in Stellenbosch weer onoorwonne in al sy enkelspel-wedstryde.

DIE rekords het verlede week die een ná die ander op die Vrystaat­ swemkampioenskapsbyeenkoms getuimel soos die swemmers witwarmvertonings in die Bloeman­ da­swembad in Bloemfontein gelewer het.

Twee Suid­Afrikaanse rekords en 11 Vrystaatse rekords het in die slag gebly. In ’n paar gevalle is ’n rekord op twee geleenthede verbeter.

Reynier Pretorius en Connor Reinders het albei twee rekord verbeter: Pretorius (mans o.20) s’n in die 400 m­vryslag (in

DIE Vrystaat­swemspan, wat op 17 Januarie in die Stadion­swembad teen die Oostelike Provinsie, Grens en die Suid­Westelike Distrikte gaan meeding, is na afloop van verlede week se gala aangewys.

Net twee swemmers per provinsie word toegelaat om in ’n nommer deel te neem.

Die kapteins is Reynard Wessels en Anja Gericke.

Die span van 76 swemmers bestaan uit 41 vroulike en 35 manlike swemmers.

Verlede week se Vrystaat­swem­ kampioenskapsbyeenkoms sou eers in die Stadion­swembad plaasgevind het, maar moes na Rocklands ver­ skuif word, aangesien verbeterings aan die swembad nie voltooi was nie. Die swembad se geriewe sal

Things in my life went from good to worse in a very short time. My love live, financial problems jealousy, my husband’s family were all against me.

Luckily I came across Sonia through a friend.

She helped me and showed me my enemies through a mirror for only R200. She did miracles in my life.

She told me all my problems without mentioning anything to her. She showed me the people who worked hard to see me suffering some of which were my friends and relatives. She performed a special prayer, washed away my bad luck and cleansed my home. Gave me a love potion with a ring for my financial problems in less than five days, my husband was always by my side and my enemies confessed and asked for forgiveness. Come and visit me at Bayswater.

Die gestremde swemmer Yvonne Smith het in die S14­afdeling twee Suid­Afrikaanse rekords verbeter waaronder in die 800 m­vryslag.

Die gala is oortuigend deur die Otters­swemklub, wat deur Lynette Wessels afgerig word, gewen.

“Dat soveel rekords verbeter is, is baie opwindend vir Vrystaat­swem en ‘n aanduiding dat iets spesiaals in die provinsie gebeur. Ek is oortuig ons het die afgelope week Suid­Afrikaanse swemmers vir die toekoms in aksie gesien. Met die uitsondering van die
