Thomas Djennetian Congratulations for being our 1000th like on FACEBOOK
E'ds Letter Welcome back to another edition of The SA Expat Hopefully summer is on it's way (don't quote me on that). Saying that, it never seems to amaze me smelling random braaivleis fires going up even in horrible weather such as the likes that we have been experiencing over the last few months. In this month's issue we feature Margaret Thatcher, may she rest in peace, as well as the results of the 2013 South African Achievers Awards. We would like to extend a massive congrats to all the winners and we are looking forward to the next event. As usual we have a variety of interesting topics that range from cooking good food, learning about wine, all about a cool little sports car manufactured in the UK, a stunning travel section to the Isles if Scilly and a look at the Rugby League World Cup 2013 hosted by England and Wales. Enjoy !

Margaret Thatcher was probably one of the best known politicians of modern times. There are probably not many people around the world who would not know who she was. Her relationship during the Apartheid years was one that has left a bitter taste in the mouths of some and others looked up to her and the work that she had done. She was respected in a male dominated international political arena but she never allowed herself to be dictated to or intimidated by anyone. In some parts of Britain Margaret Thatcher is being accused of breaking up communities and families whilst in other areas she was highly respected for being firm on amongst others, the British unions. There will always be a list of pro's and con's with regards to the so called “Iron Lady”, a title she didn't dislike. FW De Klerk, the last apartheid era President of South Africa , has rejected allegations that Margaret Thatcher supported apartheid. He stated that she didn't support apartheid or any form of racial discrimination. She did however described the ANC once as a terrorist organisation. The director of the Royal African Society Richard Dowden said the former British Prime Minister disliked many things about the ANC. Whatever your take on Margaret Thatcher, she will always be seen to have been an outstanding politician. With her most famous remark “ This Lady is not for turning”, she staked her claim as the “Iron Lady”

Duties of Wives Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. Terry had married a woman from America, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed to be done at their house. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away. Jimmie had married a woman from Canada. He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table. The third man had married a South African girl. He boasted that he told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye. Enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the dishwasher, and call a landscaper.

The Bang-Bang Club Snapshots from a Hidden War Most people, upon hearing gunfire, would run away and hide. Conflict photojournalists have the opposite reaction: they actually look for trouble, and when they find it, get as close as possible and stand up to get the best shot. This thirst for the shot and the seeming nonchalance to the risks entailed earned Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Ken Oosterbroek, and Kevin Carter the moniker of the Bang-Bang Club. Oosterbroek was killed in township violence just days before South Africa's historic panracial elections. Carter, whose picture of a Sudanese child apparently being stalked by a vulture won him a Pulitzer Prize, killed himself shortly afterwards. Another of their posse, Gary Bernard, who had held Oosterbroek as he died, also committed suicide. The Bang-Bang Club is a memoir of a time of rivalry, comradeship, machismo, and exhilaration experienced by a band of young South African photographers as they documented their country's transition to democracy. We forget too easily the political and ethnic violence that wracked South Africa as apartheid died a slow, spasmodic death. Supporters of the ANC and Inkatha fought bloody battles every day. The white security forces were complicit in fomenting and enabling some of the worst violence. All the while, the Bang-Bang Club took pictures. And while they did, they were faced with the moral dilemma of how far they should go in pursuit of an image, and whether there was a point at which they should stop their shooting and try to intervene. This is a riveting and appalling book. It is simply written--these guys are photographers, not writers--but extremely engaging. They were adrenaline junkies who partied hard and prized the shot above all else. None of them was a hero; these men come across as overwhelmingly ambitious, egotistical, reckless, and selfish, though also brave and even principled. As South Africans, they were all invested in their country's future, even though, as whites, they were strangers in their own land as they covered the Hostel wars in the black townships. The mixture of the romantic appeal of the war correspondent with honest assessments of their personal failings is part of what makes this account so compelling and so singular among books of its ilk. --J.

Top UK Music Experiences 1. Liverpool: the Beatles way Fab Four fan? Head to Liverpool for the true Beatles experience. See where it all began with a tour of the childhood homes of Lennon and McCartney, then stop by the Beatles Story to relive their journey from the Casbah Coffee Club through to Beatlemania and the break-up. Later, dance the night away to some great British live music in the legendary Cavern Club where the Beatles were spotted by their future manager, before turning in at the Beatles-inspired Hard Day’s Night Hotel next door. 2. Knebworth House This beautiful gothic mansion in the Hertfordshire countryside is also known as ‘The stately home of rock’. It’s here that Led Zeppelin played their last ever UK gig with the original line-up, Queen played their last gig with Freddie Mercury, and Oasis headlined the fastest-selling concert in British history. Knebworth is still the best place to catch some of rock’s biggest starts in concert, and it’s also the home of the Sonisphere Festival. 3. Proms in the Park The BBC Proms is the world’s greatest classical music festival, and a summer institution for music lovers in Britain. The highlight of the festival is the Last Night of the Proms, and a great way to experience it is at one of the Proms in the Park events that take place all over the country. Pack a picnic and settle in for live performances via a live link-up to the concert at the Royal Albert Hall. 4. Celtic Connections If folk music is more your style, head to Glasgow – UNESCO City of Music – for Celtic Connections, the UK’s premier Celtic music festival. 2,000 artists from all over the world come together for 18 days of traditional, folk, jazz, Americana, indie and world music, plus you’ll find ceilidhs, talks, free events, workshops and late-night sessions in venues right across the city. 5. Belfast Music Tour Take a trip through the heart of a great rock and roll city on the Belfast Music Tour. Visit the Ulster Hall where Led Zeppelin played Stairway To Heaven for the first time; stop by Van Morrison’s childhood home; see the site of the old Wizard Studios where the song Teenage Kicks was recorded for just £200, and finally, discover the other legends of the city’s music scene at the Belfast Music Exhibition. 8. Somerset House Summer Series Festival season needn’t mean traipsing through muddy fields to see your favourite bands and artists. At the Somerset House Summer Series, you can watch the likes of Basement Jaxx, Pendulum and Ellie Goulding perform in the spectacular 18th-century courtyard of Somerset House – one of London’s most beautiful live music venues.

This is a delicious, moist bobotie Traditionally, it should also include a handful of quartered almonds. I find this adds to the flavour and texture. These quantities serve up to eight people, but you can adjust them to make the recipe smaller. Ingredients 1 fairly thick slice crustless bread (white or brown) 375 ml milk 25 ml oil 10ml butter 2 onions, sliced 2 cloves garlic, crushed‌(I slice them thinly, sprinkle with salt and crush with the blade of a knife) 25 ml curry powder 10ml salt 25ml chutney 15ml smooth apricot jam 15ml Worcester sauce 5ml turmeric 25ml brown vinegar 1 kg raw mince 100 ml sultanas (don’t replace with raisins – they are too sweet; sultanas are much better for this recipe) 3 eggs pinch each salt and turmeric bay leaves Soak bread in milk. Heat oil and butter in large pan and fry onions and garlic. When onions are soft, add curry powder, salt, chutney, jam, Worcester sauce, turmeric and vinegar and mix well. Drain and mash bread and reserve milk. Add bread to pan together with mince and sultanas. Cook over low heat, stirring, and when meat loses its pinkness, remove from stove. Add 1 beaten egg, mix well, then spoon into a greased, 28 x 16 cm baking dish and level the top. Beat remaining eggs with reserved milk (you should have 300 ml, or a little more) and the salt and turmeric. Pour over meat mixture and put a few bay leaves on top. Stand dish in a larger pan of water (this is important to prevent drying out) and bake, uncovered, at 180 degrees celsius for 1 hour or until set. Serve with rice, coconut, chutney, nuts and bananas.
Wine Basics
(for newbys)
Wines can be grouped into the six primary categories: white wines, red wines, rosé wines, sparkling wines, dessert wines and fortified wines. White wines are wines that contain little or no red pigmentation. These wines are almost always made from white grapes, but can be made from black grapes as well. Winemakers can make white wine from black grapes because the juice in most black grapes is actually clear. White wines can be sweet or dry, or somewhere in between. Popular white wines include Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Red wines are made from black grapes and have a red or blue tint. Most grapes have colorless juice, so to make red wine the grape skins, which contain nearly all of the grapes’ pigmentation, have to remain intact with the juice during all or part of the fermentation process. Tannins are also found in the grape skins, and are transferred into the wine while the skins are in contact with the juice. Besides the difference in color, the primary difference between red and white wines comes are tannins. Found mainly in red wines, they provide a dry, puckery sensation in the mouth and in the back of the throat. They also help preserve wine, allowing most (but not all) red wines to be aged longer than white wines. Popular red wines include Beaujolais, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chianti, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. Rosé wines are pink in color, and can be referred to as rosé, pink or blush wines. Rosés are made from black grapes, but don’t fully turn red because the grape skins are removed from the juice mere hours after contact. This brief contact with the grape skins gives the wine a pink color from the slight transference of red pigments from the skins. Rosés can also made by blending together white and red wines. This brief skin contact also ensures that a minimal amount of tannins enters the wine. Many rosés are sweet, with White Merlot and White Zinfandel serving as great examples. However, the best and most traditional European rosés are bone dry. Sparkling wines, made from nearly any variety of grape, are wines that contain carbon dioxide bubbles. Carbon dioxide occurs naturally during fermentation, and winemakers around the world have developed special techniques to trap carbon dioxide in the wine. Sparkling wines are often referred to incorrectly as Champagne – Champagne is a type of sparkling wine, but there is a distinct difference between the two. Champagne is the name of a region in northeast France. By law, wines may only be called Champagne when they are made solely from grapes grown in the Champagne region and produced according to strict guidelines. Popular sparkling wines include Cava, Champagne, Crémant d’Alsace, Moscato d’Asti and Prosecco. Dessert wines are wines which have a high sugar content, making them a popular choice with or as dessert. They can be made sweet from many different ways, such as harvesting the grapes very late when sugar levels are high or drying the grapes on straw mats to concentrate the sugars. Others, including fortified wines, have Brandy or other spirits added to the juice during fermentation. The Brandy prematurely stops the fermentation process, thus leaving a high amount of sugar in the wine. Some fortified wines, including Port and Sherry, were originally designed to ensure the wine survived long voyages on 17th century ships. Popular dessert wines include ice wines, late harvest Rieslings, Madeira, Port, Sherry and Sauternes.

Understanding the UK Tax System It may appear to be a difficult subject to understand. The Adult working population in the UK has to pay Tax and National Insurance. The most important factor for new arrivals to the UK is the National Insurance number, you will have to apply for one once you start working. Personal Tax Code A tax code indicates the amount of free tax a person is entitled to earn in each tax year This code is specific to each individual person. Personal Income Tax All employees are liable to pay a tax on their earnings. These taxes are graded for various income ranges. P45 You will receive this document when you leave a company a copy should be given to your new company. In this way any earnings, under/over payment of tax can be carried on and your personal details are used. P60 You will receive this document at the end of the tax year – 5 April – and it will give you the amount of money you have earned and tax paid during that tax year. This document is very important and you must retain it as your record of your tax deductions. If you work for three companies in parallel you must receive three documents. National Insurance Number This number is a requirement as it is your personal individual registration number and it is the number of where any national insurance is allocated. All employees need this number and ultimately it will determine the level of benefits and retirement pension you may earn. It is also a quick method of refunding any monies that you may claim when you leave the country. National Insurance This deduction is a proportion of your salary. You will have to pay Employee National Insurance and if you are working as contractor you will be liable also for the Employer National Insurance. This money is deducted to pay into a fund (under your NI Number) to build up your benefits, pension as well as for the National Health Service. You need to apply for an NI card just prior to starting work and this can be done through your local Jobcentre Plus offices.

The “Beginner's Guide” to Investment Are you ready to invest? Make sure you've repaid debt, got savings and a pension as well as protection before investing Taking the decision to begin investing your money is a big step. Many of you are doing so in order to increase the capital value of your money or to get an income and maintain the level of your savings. Investment means introducing risk to your money. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as increased risk can help you grow your cash. But, conversely, there is the possibility that you could lose some, or all, of your money. There are four key activities that you must undertake before considering investing your money: 1) Sort out your debt It's imperative to ensure that your debts are under control before considering investment. Debt is generally much more expensive to service than the returns you'll get from investments and large debt repayments may stop you from reaching your financial goals. Additionally, if you do lose money by investing, you risk defaulting on your debt repayments. Focus on reducing debt to levels that you're comfortable to manage or, ideally, pay off all debt before investing. 2) Get protected Make sure your finances are protected if you cannot work due to illness for an extended period of time. Check your sick pay scheme at work to see how long you would be covered for and consider taking out income protection insurance if you are self employed. Other insurance, like critical illness cover if you become seriously ill, could also be an option if you have a mortgage or dependents, although this can be expensive. In addition to this, life insurance is an essential item you need to take out before thinking of investment, especially if you have a family. Your work may offer a death in service benefit, but consider an additional policy, in case you change jobs or are out of work. 3) Think about retirement One of the biggest problems in the UK is that people are not saving enough for their retirement. Relying on the state to provide a pension for you in older age may not be enough to maintain the lifestyle you have now or leave you comfortable in retirement.
Sponsored by
It's vital that you start saving for your later years as early as possible. Make sure you're contributing to your employee pension scheme or a private pension before investing any spare cash – pension savers benefit from employer contributions and generous tax breaks. 4) Make sure you’ve got savings Have you got spare cash to fall back on? Before introducing risk to your money, you need some core savings as an emergency fund for those unseen events. The generally accepted rule is to have three months' salary in savings before you invest. And make sure that these savings are in a high-rate savings account,

How to reduce the symptoms of constipation Constipation occurs when bowel movements become difficult or less frequent. Going longer than three days without a bowel movement is too long. Common causes of constipation include: * Inadequate water intake * Inadequate fibre in the diet * A disruption of regular diet or routine; travelling * Inadequate activity or exercise or immobility * Eating large amounts of dairy products * Stress * Resisting the urge to have a bowel movement, which is sometimes the result of pain from haemorrhoids * Overuse of laxatives (stool softeners) which, over time, weaken the bowel muscles * Hypothyroidism * Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis * Antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminium * Medicines (especially strong pain medicines, such as narcotics,antidepressants, or iron pills) * Depression * Eating disorders * Irritable bowel syndrome * Pregnancy * Colon cancer * In some cases, lack of good nerve and muscle function in the bowel may also be a cause of constipation. Increasing intake of fibre would reduce the risk of developing various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, diverticulitis disease, colon cancer and, of course, would solve the problem of constipation. Fibre is also very important for lowering cholesterol . RDA of fibre for an adult person is 25-30 grams. If you haven’t been consuming enough fibre lately, it is not recommended to start with large amount,s since it can cause flatulence. Consume more water-insoluble fiibres, which remain unchanged during digestion as they promote normal movement of intestinal contents. Insoluble fibre can be found in fruits with edible peel or seeds, vegetables, whole grain products (such as whole-wheat bread, pasta and crackers), bulgur wheat, stone ground corn meal, cereals, bran, rolled oats, buckwheat and brown rice). Recommended products: artichokes, linseed, cabbage, potatoes (boiled or oven-roasted with peel), leeks, carrots, celery, fruit (with peel), brown rice, grains, non-grounded grits, pumpernickel bread, lettuce.
Also recommended: * Including at least one serving of whole grain in every meal. * Sprinkling oat bran or wheat germ over salad, soup, breakfast cereals and yoghurt * Using whole-wheat flour when possible in cooking and baking. * Choosing whole grain bread (with highest amount of fibre per slice). * Choosing cereals with at least 5 grams of fibre per serving. * Cooking with brown rice instead of white rice. * Adding kidney beans or other varieties to salads. * Substituting legumes for meat 2-3 times per week in chilli and soups. * Experimenting with international dishes (such as Indian or Middle East) that use whole grains and legumes as part of the main meal or in salads. * Eating at least 5 servings of (fresh, preferably to canned) fruits and vegetables each day. * Having fresh fruit for dessert. * Adding chopped dried fruits to pancakes and breads before baking. Dried fruits have a higher amount of fibre than the fresh ones.

The Isles of Scilly
The Isles of Scilly form an archipelago of five inhabited islands and numerous other small rocky islets (around 140 in total) lying 45 km (28 mi) off Land's End. They are all composed of granite rock of early Permian age, an exposed part of the Cornubian batholith. The islands' position produces a place of great contrast—the ameliorating effect of the sea, greatly influenced by the North Atlantic Current, means they rarely have frost or snow, which allows local farmers to grow flowers well ahead of those in mainland Britain. The chief agricultural product is cut flowers, mostly daffodils. Exposure to Atlantic winds also means that spectacular winter gales lash the islands from time to time. This is reflected in the landscape, most clearly seen on Tresco where the lush sub-tropical Abbey Gardens on the sheltered southern end of the island contrast with the low heather and bare rock sculpted by the wind on the exposed northern end. As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation charity Plantlife chose sea thrift (Armeria maritima) as the "county flower" of the islands.
Things to Do From dawn till dusk there are awe-inspiring sites, adrenaline pumping activities and unique attractions. Whether you are visiting for the first time or the fortieth time Scilly invites you to peel back the layers of these fascinating islands. For those looking to kick-back and relax we have delightful beachfront cafés, scenic coastal walks, a vibrant arts and crafts scene and one of the greatest gardens of Europe – Tresco Abbey Garden. Picking up the pace- kick start your Spring and join us for our walking festival , or grab a paddle at our extraordinary World Pilot Gig Championships in May. Our vibrant and varied calendar of events throughout the year mean there is something for everyone. There’s something for everyone, from walking tours and fishing expeditions to watersports lessons and diving trips, not to mention horse-riding lessons, sea safaris, archaeological expeditions and golf.

On road or track The 5EXi puts the excitement back into road driving, with blistering acceleration, and handling that never lets you forget you’re in charge. If you go for our trackday or race version, you can exploit its full potential on the circuit. The experts behind the Marlin factory team (currently racing two V W Audi's and one Rover 25 based car in the Castle Combe GT Championship) they can build a trackday or race car to your exact requirements. And maintain, support and transport it for you, if you choose. The cost-effective choice So the 5EXi ticks all the true sports car boxes. But does it get a black mark for cost? Quality never comes cheap, but it gives other hand-built specialist sportscars, and production cars, a real run for their money. And you can make big savings by doing some of the assembly work yourself. Even the insurance will surprise you – how about £250 if you’re over 25?

Mouritz Botha Position: Second Row Born: 29 Jan 1982 Height: 6ft 6ins (1.98m) Weight: 18st (115kg) Date Joined: 01 Jul 2009 Previous Clubs: Bedford Blues Honours: England (10 caps), England Saxons Debut: vs London Irish (5/9/09) Status: Fully Fit Total Appearances: 108 Player Sponsor: Nigel and Cindy Goodman Bio Mouritz Botha started the 2009/10 season having just signed from National League One side Bedford Blues, but just two years later he had lifted the Premiership title and became a mainstay of the England side. The 6ft 6in lock forward was one of the cornerstones of the Bedford Blues pack where he made 57 appearances after joining the club in 2006 after being spotted rising through the ranks at Bedford Athletic. Botha, who was born in Vryheid, South Africa, helped Saracens to win the Aviva Premiership title for the first time in May 2011, having played club rugby in Cape Town and arrived in the UK in October 2004. He is now qualified by residence. After signing to play for Bedford Athletic in what was then National Three North, he worked as an office assistant before being made redundant and then found a temporary job in a carpet washing factory and did six tonnes of them each day. Next up was stripping asbestos out of houses in Bedford. By then his club had been relegated to Midlands One but Botha continued to play there until Bedford Blues awarded him a full time contract and he made 57 appearances for the Goldington Road club before signing for Saracens in 2009-10. As a stand out player for the Blues, he had won East Midlands’ selection for the 2009 Mobbs Memorial match against the Barbarians. His first England cap was off the bench against Wales at Twickenham ahead of the 2011 World Cup. He missed out on selection but when on to play in all five of England’s 2012 Six Nations matches and was part of the summer touring party to South Africa later that year.
