Linee gee terug aan PJ OORHANDIGING: Paulus Joubert Sekondêr Alumni het Vrydagaand hul spog Black Tie Dinner gehou met groot sukses. By die onlangse geldinsameling wat die SA Rugby Legends vir Tinus Linee (regs voor) gehou het, het Anthony Peter, ’n sakeman, R30 000 betaal vir Linee se Springbokbaadjie. Oud Springbok-rugbyspeler Linee, ly aan dieselfde lewensbedreigende siekte, motorneuronsiekte, as nog ’n Springboklegende, Joost van der Westhuizen. Peter het die baadjie teruggegee aan Linee sodat hy dit vir sy oudskool, Paulus Joubert Sekondêr, kon skenk. Tydens die Black Tie Dinner het Linee dié baadjie aan Tommy Kearns (tweede van links), die skoolhoof, oorhandig.

Saam met hulle is van links Mario Williams, Diana Linee en Andrew Koopman.

Fight against violence and abuse The 16 Days of Activism is an international campaign, which raises awareness about violence against women and children.

The 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence campaign is a United Nations incentive and takes place annually between 25 November (International Day of No Violence against Women) and 10 December (International Human Rights Day).

The South African Government supports the campaign but also includes issues relating to violence against children; therefore, South Africa holds a 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children campaign annually.

The purpose of this annual campaign is: ) To generate an increased level of awareness among South Africans relating to the incidence of violence against women and children, how it manifests itself within South African society and the negative impact on these vulnerable groups. ) To challenge perpetrators of these offences to change their behaviour. ) To enhance and increase partnerships between government, the private sector, civil society, organised labour, sectoral groups, faithbased organisations, the media (electronic and print) and the diplomatic community in an ef-

fort to spread the message. ) To raise funds for NGOs that work within the sector, providing invaluable support to the victims and survivors of violence. ) To communicate through the most effective and appropriate channels aiming to reach the maximum number of people across the country, particularly women and children residing in rural areas. ) To engage actively with men and boys in the discourse about combating violence in our homes, our communities and in the workplace. ) To highlight the stories of survivors of gender-based violence and child abuse, and the impact that the campaign has had on their lives.

The rights of women and children are fundamental human rights entrenched in and protected by the Constitution.

Gender-based and child violence, in all its different forms, devalues human dignity and the self-worth of the person and must be stopped in our society.

South Africans are called to support the campaign by wearing a white ribbon to show their solidarity.

By wearing these ribbons for the duration of the 16-day period, you will be showing that you support the campaign and will encourage others to do the same, and in so doing, create greater awareness.

Day of unsung heroines in Mbekweni Qolothani Makhosikazi Social and Cultural Services will be hosting a celebration of Women of Significance and Unsung Heroine this Saturday at the Mbekweni Indoor Community Centre at 14:00.

Qolothani Makhosikazi Social and Cultural Services is a voluntary and non-profit organisation headed by Princess Cynthia Kabanyane.

Saturdays events will honour one of Mbekweni’s women elders, Cornellia Nelly Johnson, who is affectionately known as Makhulu.

This stalwart has endured a long political journey which already started in 1942, when she followed her calling to seek a better life for her people. Minister of defence, Lindiwe Sisulu will be a guest speaker.

Learners from different schools in Paarl in conjunction with the Paarl police, the traffic department and other government stakeholders, joined hands as they marched to the traffic circle in front of the Paarl Magistrate’s Court in the Bergriver Boulevard in support of the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children. Here learners formed a circle for five minutes. Motorists were encouraged to show their support by hooting as they passed the roundabout. P PHOTOS: MARYKE SWART

Building a nation through investment in education The belief in education as a mechanism for upliftment in South Africa is the motivation behind the Paarl Media Bursary Trust, a trust that has benefited 70 promising students over the past six years.

Fourteen hopeful and committed young people will benefit from this trust next year. Among these talented students is 20 year old, second year Industrial Design student Lizanne Burger.

“Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) is one of the only places in the country that offers my course and it is not cheap,” says Burger.

After applying for a student loan, which proved insufficient to meet the financial expenses of the course, Burger turned to corporates like Paarl Media to make her dream of becoming a 3D designer come true. “This will mean that I no longer have to work on weekends and can dedicate my full attention to my course,” says Burger.

“Given our position as committed print industry player, we saw this as a fitting investment into the future of the industry,” says Nico Grobbelaar, executive director for human resources at Paarl Media.

This year, of the 14 bursaries awarded by the trust, the majority of recipients were female and in fields of study outside of the print industry.

“This trust exists to create opportunities for committed learners with bright futures, not only for those with a bright future in print,” says Grobbelaar.

Mark Fowler, a youth development volunteer has also been awarded a bursary to study international relations at the University of Stellenbosch.

Fowler, who grew up in Paarl and graduated from Paarl Gimnasium in 2009, has worked with young people from all walks of life, including a trip to Norway where he was part of an exchange programme for promising South African students.

TREAT FOR THE ELDERLY: The Paarl Muslim Jamaa (P.M.J) hosted a lunch for the elderly members of the Paarl Muslim community on Sunday afternoon at the Madressa in Lapperts Street. The lunch was organised as part of the Muharram (first month of the Islamic year ) celebrations. Here are Phaldie and Ruwayda Kamalie(right) and Qubrah and Jalal van Breda. Jalal also celebrated his 71 year birthday.

Jy die Entrepreneur: Hoekom so duur?

DAVID MALHERBE Verbruikers probeer altyd om ’n beter prys te beding, maar die verskaffers van produkte en dienste moet hul berekeninge goed doen om te verseker dat hulle nie ’n verlies maak nie. Adam Smith sê in sy boek, The Wealth of Nations: “The real price of everything is the toil and trouble of acquiring it.”

Wanneer jy jou produk of diens bemark hang die verkoopbaarheid daarvan dikwels af van die prys. Dit is feitlik onmoontlik om altyd die goedkoopste te wees en steeds ’n baie suksesvolle besigheid te bou. Baie besigheidseienaars dink hulle maak geld omdat hulle baie items verkoop, maar sukkel om hul rekeninge te betaal omrede hulle nie die kosteen prysbepaling van hul produkte of dienste akkuraat genoeg bereken nie. Jy moet dus jou somme reg doen.

Wanneer ek ’n produsent vra wat die presiese koste van een van sy of haar besigheid se produkte is, is dit dikwels vir hulle ’n turksvy-vraag; moeilik om te beantwoord.

Om winsgewend te wees moet ’n mens ’n prysstrategie ontwikkel. Hierdie strategie moet deurgaans in jou onderneming toegepas word om deurlopende winsgewendheid te verseker. Daar is verskeie faktore wat ’n rol speel in die bepaling van sodanige strategie.

Eerstens is die spesifieke doelmark wat jy poog om te bedien van die uiterste belang. Indien jy ’n mark bedien waar almal die beste gehalte produk verkies, is dit maklik om hoër pryse vas te stel in teenstelling met ’n lae-inkomste teikenmark wat gewoonlik baie prysgevoelig is.

Ander faktore wat ’n groot invloed op ’n onderneming se prysstrategie kan hê, is of daar min of baie mededingers is in die mark wat jy bedien. Hoe meer mededingers, hoe moeiliker om jou pryse te verhoog.

Andersyds kan die ekonomiese toestande of owerheidsregulasies ook beperkende faktore wees wat prysbepaling beinvloed. Leweransiers kan ook ’n groot invloed hê deurdat spesiale aanbiedinge van hulle kant jou kan help om die laer pryse aan jou kliënte deur te gee.

Om hoër as gemiddelde pryse te realiseer, is uitstaande gehalte produkte en dienste gewoonlik die belangrikste vereiste. Die kliënt wat bereid is om meer te betaal, verwag die beste gehalte.

David Malherbe en Dewald Scholtz gesels Maandagaand van 19:00 tot 20:00 verder oor hierdie onderwerp op Radio KC 107.7FM tydens die program Jy die Entrepreneur. * David Malherbe is ’n besigheids- en loopbaan konsultant en woon in Wellington. Hy kan gekontak word via sy webblad www.jedidiah.org.za of by T/F 021-873 0262 of op Facebook by “Jy die Entrepreneur.”
