SASOLBURG. - Approximately 80 people from the Metsimaholo Labour Forum marched to Sasol on Wednesday to hand over a memorandum. Sasol, received a memorandum from the Metsimaholo Labour Forum in respect of recruitment and skills development. According to Vusi Cwane, Vice President: Public and Regulatory Affairs who received the memorandum on behalf of Sasol, Sasol’s corporate strategies are strongly aligned with South Africa’s National Development Plan that focuses on ba-

sic education and skills development, infrastructure expansion and security of energy and petrochemical supply, which all contribute to job creation and economic development. “Sasol’s community involvement seeks to promote people-centred, needsdriven and sustainable development of communities through our Community Affairs initiatives, the Sasol community development programme (Ikusasa), and the Metsimaholo Rejuvenation Trust that acts as implementation partner for several Ikusasa projects,” he said.

Emergency personnel of the Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) had to extinguish Vanderbijlpark Post Office vans set alight by strikers on September 30. The national postal strike is now into its sixth week. The strikers are temporary receiving/dis patch workers who demand to be permanent employment. Members of the public have not received essential mail such as bills but the legal onus is on them to find out what they owe by contacting or going to local municipalities and/or other institu tions. Two postal vans were set alight. A third nearly caught fire but the flames were extinguished by a municipal fire fighter. Photo: Trudy Potgieter.

Petrol‘fontein’ langs R59 Schalk le Roux

SASOLBURG. – ‘n Massiewe ‘petrol’-fontein het verlede Donderdag sy verskyning langs die R59, sowat 5 kilometer buite Sasolburg, in die rigting van Parys gemaak. Die petrol het tientalle meter ver vanuit die veld oor die R59 gespuit.

‘n Plaasvoertuig wat in die lande besig was, het per ongeluk die pyp beskadig en die ‘fontein’ het met mening by die gat begin uitspuit. Die Metsimaholo Brandweer en Sasol Hazmat-eenheid was dadelik op die toneel en die toevoer na die pyp is afgesny. Duisen-

Mutilation wrecks Sarel’s (35) life Moleboheng Chaha

VEREENIGING. - Local surgeon Dr Hennie Strydom pleads with the community to help the Steyn family in any way they can. Strydom says that ever since Sarel Steyn (35) of Vereeniging was injured in the line of duty on October 11 of 2011, life has been tough for him, as well as his wife and their three children. An explosion left Sarel blind and his face needed 50 hours of reconstructive surgery. Most of the surgery had to be free of charge as Sarel never received any compensation from the company he worked for. He is currently unemployed. Strydom says that he, Medicross dental technician Dr Ernst Siebries and another

de liters petrol het egter nog vir meer as ‘n halfuur by die pyp uitgeborrel. Dit het ‘n groot gevaar ingehou, omdat die petrolwalms in die gebied gehang het. Net een vonk of vlammetjie kon dus ‘n massiewe ontploffing veroorsaak. Metsimaholo en Sasol nooddiensperso-

neel en die verkeersdepartement het die pad in beide rigtings versper en sodoende verseker dat padgebruikers nie in gevaar was terwyl opruimingswerk aan die gang was nie. Dit is blykbaar die eiendom van Transnet wat petrol namens ‘n plaaslike maatskappy herlei.

dental technician - André Schutte of Benoni - are currently trying to reconstruct Sarel’s jaws and teeth with the assistance of Bicon SA. “This entire experience has been very difficult for me and my family. We lost everything. We are currently living with my parents and we are still struggling to get compensation for my husband’s injury,” says Marieke, Sarel’s wife. “My life will never be the same. I survive by taking it day by day. I owe my life to Dr Strydom and his wife Letitia who have been very supportive and helpful to me and my family,” says Sarel. Anyone who can offer the Steyn family any kind of help can call 071 649 6177 or 083 489 8089.

Sarel Steyn (35) of Vereeniging was injured in a horrific work accident in 2011. He has undergone several surgeries and is blind.

Future of steelgiant’s V’bijl works uncertain VANDERBIJLPARK. - After months of rumour and speculation that the Vanderbijlpark works of ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA) might close, the steel giant last week officially announced that the continued existence of the works indeed hangs in the balance. Paul O’ Flaherty, executive director of AMSA, last week revealed to Media24 specialist business reporter Jan de Lange that the future of the Vanderbijlpark works has to be reconsidered if long-term solutions to the group’s problems cannot be found within nine months. De Lange made it known on Sunday through Rapport that AMSA might exercise the option to close the Vanderbijlpark works in an effort to improve the group’s chances of survival in South Africa. The biggest threats to AMSA at present are steel imports from China, arbitration tribunal disputes, the government’s demand for a so-called ‘development price’ for steel, ageing technology at the

Paul O’ Flaherty, executive director of AM SA.

Vanderbijlpark works and the contemplated Carbon Tax. For the past four years, AMSA has run at a continuous loss. “This is simply not sustainable,” O’ Flaherty told De Lange. Moreover, the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has begun feasibility studies for the building of a modern steel factory in Phalaborwa with which AMSA’s older facilities cannot compete. It is in fact precisely the Vanderbijlpark works’s ageing technology that is making it the most disposable in the entire group. “In the Vanderbijlpark works there are some 200km of railway lines to transport dust back and forth, something that doesn’t make business sense,” O’Flaherty told De Lange. AMSA annually blows about 15 million tons of carbondioxide into the air, which places it afoul of the suggested tax of some R600million per year. AMSA is also obliged to pay about R100-million per year to promised community development projects to ensure it can maintain its operational licence. When Mittal took over the old Iscor in 2004, tensions between AMSA and the government began to build up due to broken promises by both parties. This has now deteriorated to the point that the relationship can be classed as hostile. According to De Lange, O’Flaherty is currently engaged in an overall dialogue with the government, especially with the Department of Trade and Industry, and the IDC. It is presumably an effort at reconciliation described by O’Flaherty as an ‘olive branch’ process. The purpose is believed to establish where AMSA, according to government, fits into South Africa. “We were always a fundamental part of the development of the country. We know AMSA’s side is not clean. For example, we don’t fulfil the requirements of black empowerment. These will be difficult discussi-

VANDERBIJLPARK. - Arcelor Mittal (AMSA) will need to scrutinise its numbers carefully before a final decision is taken on shutting down of the Vanderbijlpark works. That is if within the next nine months no solution can be found to make the undertaking more profitable. If this steel giant withdraws from Vanderbijlpark it will leave R1.59 billion of its assets behind. This is at present the municipal valuation of its land and buildings in Delfos Boulevard. According to wellknown Vanderbijlpark property evaluator, Mr Niel de Klerk, AMSA will in all probability have to continue paying monthly property rates of several hundred thousand rand per month even if it discontinues all activities at this property. The chances of AMSA finding a buyer for the property are very remote. The demands made on AMSA with respect to pollution control, the worldwide drop in demand for steel and outdated technology of the Vanderbijlpark works stultifying its competitiveness, are well-known. Prospective buyers will not be queuing up to wrap up this “bargain buy” as such a transaction will undoubtedly come coupled with a number of long term headaches. “ArcelorMittal’s contribution in terms of its property rates in relation to the total property rate income of Emfuleni is not so huge as many might think. Emfuleni will not go under in the event of AMSA no longer paying rates but the implications of

residents losing their employment and the impact that this will have on other businesses in the region will be phenomenal,” says Mr De Klerk. “There are measures these days by which outdated plants such as that of Vandebijlpark can be easily and cost effectively renewed. It can only be hoped that Arcelor Mittal will follow this route rather than that of shutting its local works down.”

The ‘what ifs’ of AMSA’s worst scenario

A couple of months ago the first ru mours were heard that the Vander bijlpark works of ArcelorMittal (AM SA) might close because its anti quated state had become more of a burden than an asset for AMSA. Most of us smirked at this ‘nonsense’ in a weknowbetter way. Now it looks as if the possibility of closure was never as far out as we initially thought. We still hope we’re looking at psycho logical games and at the last card that AMSA can play in its negotia tions with the government, but who could blame Vaal Trianglers for feel ing somewhat panicky at the possi ble implications if AMSA Vanderbijl park indeed closes? The greatest part of the Vaal Triangle’s economy depends on AMSA and its satellite steel industries. Klippies Kritzinger, chairman of the Vanderbijlpark Sakekamer, predicts that it would have serious implications for the social stability of the Vaal Triangle if thousands of employees suddenly found them selves out of work. Hundreds of other small businesses that pro vide services or products to AMSA Vanderbijlpark or receive same from AMSA would also be forced to close. Result: more unemploy ment. Kritzinger and his Sakeka mer’s members are very familiar with the issue of competition. All kinds of industry find them selves – just like AMSA – under increasing pressure to compete with China’s strategy to dominate world markets. He asks the question we all ask: what is South Africa going to do about this and when? The hourglass is running toward empty. Yunus Chamda, municipal manager of the Sedi beng district, has a sobering and

Hierdie ‘aasvoëls’ is trotse arende! Insleper van Vanderbijlpark skryf: Die persoon wat die lae bewerings in Vaalweekblad gemaak het van die “aasvoëls” (inslepers) wat iets te doen mag hê met die verkeerslig by Rossini-blvd. en Barrageweg, die verkeerslig se fases is deur ons aangemeld vir herstel. As ek jy is, tel ek my woorde. Ons is ook mense met kinders (wat mag seerkry in ‘n ongeluk). Ons vriende en families gebruik ook daardie pad. Om menselewens te spaar, is die verkeerslig aangemeld deur ons aasvoëls! Het jy dalk daaraan gedink om dit te doen, aangesien jy daardie pad gereeld gebruik? En ons raaksien?

realistic opinion: ArcelorMittal has operations in 60 countries and therefore has the luxury of moving production to the plants where profits are highest. If that means scaling down in SA, or even shutting down plants such as Vanderbijlpark’s complete ly, they can do that without affect ing their global supply to their customers. If government’s demands are too high and it affects ArcelorMittal’s bottom line too much, they can exercise those options. The Vaal’s local government is very aware of this possibility. For this reason Chamda and other local government experts, while supporting the manufacturing sector, have over the last few years been campaigning for the building of additional sectors like the service sector and tourism, and are now also pushing on agricul ture. They have had some success, but we all know that we still rely far too heavily on the steel manu facturing sector. If AMSA decides to close the Vanderbijlpark works, it will come at a high cost. They will have to leave behind an asset worth almost R1,6 billion because buyers won’t fall over their feet to buy this white elephant. Add the cost of getting rid of thousands of union members who won’t take such a closingdown lying down and the figure might be staggering. The biggest price, however, will proba bly not be paid by ArcelorMittal but by all residents of the Vaal who will dearly miss the prosperity brought by the Vaal’s steel industry in the past decades.

Accident on the N12 Liza Cronje of the Vaal Triangle writes on Vaalweekblad’s Facebook: Truck drivers are overworked, then they make stupid mistakes. The companies try to save money by not servicing trucks on time, which leads to poor breaking systems. Cell phones used while driving is another cause.

Die Community Support Forum in die Vaaldriehoek waarsku dat rowers deesdae valstrikke met spykers op sekere plekke op paaie plaas om voertuigbande te beska dig. Wanneer 'n motoris dan stilhou en uitklim om ondersoek in te stel, word hulle beroof. Wees op die uitkyk vir dié soort misdaad. Ry liewer stadig tot by die naaste huis of sakeonderneming waar jy hulp kan kry, of gebruik liewer jou selfoon om hulp te ontbied eerder as om uit te klim.

Die polisie is al telkemale gekontak, maar die mense steur hulle nie aan die gereg nie en is bevriend met heelwat van die polisielede. Die hele buurt is besig om keelvol te raak.

Hoekom is hulle so skelm? Wat bereik hulle daardeur? Dis dié ouens wat die ander insleepdienste wat eerlik en opreg is, se name ook krater maak. Daar is twee insleepmaatskappye wat geregistreerde paneelkloppers het en wat eerlik werk. Ons moet iets doen en die skelms uit ons dorp uitkry, want hulle help mens van die wal af in die sloot.

Kommentaar

‘Fir’vlaks moedeloos Andrè Kruger van Vanderbijlpark skryf: Firstraat is een van die besigste strate in Vanderbijlpark, maar ek dink dit is deesdae een van die strate in die dorp wat die slegste lyk. Ek skryf die brief namens die inwoners van Firstraat, wat almal al moedeloos is met die agteruitgang van die straat. Maande gelede het die munisipaliteit begin om die bome in die straat af te saag omdat dit een van die oorsake is dat die straat so vol gate is. Skielik het alles sommer weer opgehou en geen verdere bome is afgesaag nie. Nog twee maande later toe begin hulle weer bome afsaag. Sedertdien is die bome klaar afgesaag, maar intussen staan die afgesaagde stompe die hele straat vol en dit lyk nie of hulle enige planne het om dit uit te haal nie. Skielik op ‘n dag begin hulle toe om weer gate in die straat toe te maak. Dit het presies ‘n week aangegaan en toe

hou dit skielik weer op. Dis nou ‘n maand later en steeds het niks verder gebeur nie. Die stukke teer en die sakke met teer staan nou oral op die sypaadjie gepak en ontsier die hele straat, maar weer eens lyk dit nie of daar enige verdere planne is nie. ‘n Week gelede het ‘n waterpyp voor my huis op die sypaadjie gebars. Ek het na ‘n groot gesukkel uiteindelik iemand in die hande gekry om te kom kyk, en dit is waar dit gebly het. Intussen het ek weer die munisipaliteit geskakel en dit aangemeld en ook nogal ‘n verwysingsnommer gekry, maar dis ‘n week later en die water loop die hele straat vol. Daar word elke dag letterlik duisende liters water gemors en al wie bekommerd is daaroor, is die inwoners van die straat. Die straat het intussen al verder vol gate geraak as gevolg van die water wat in die straat afloop. Hierdie straat is besig om die waarde van ons eiendomme te beïnvloed en dit lyk regtig sleg.

Designer cake ‘hijacked’

Diana Pretorius of Three Rivers writes: I run a catering business, Beulah Creations, in Three Rivers and just this morning discovered that another local baker who works from his home has been using a photo of one of my wedding cakes (which I use on all my branding) on his website for the past year, passing it off as his own work. I do not wish to expose him or bring him bad publicity…

I think he is capable of doing that all by himself. When I confronted him he said that it has been on his website for the past year and he didn’t think I would mind. But being a client myself, I would like to inform people in the community of such incidents. Many people are misled by photos and end up paying a lot of money for a cake and not getting what they bargained for.

Industrial Psychology in the community

Industrial and Organisational psychology (IOP) is a specialised area that applies psychological theories and principles to address problems related to the workplace and organisations and the individuals working in organisations. Some of the issues that an IO psychologist might address include finding ways to increase worker productivity, selecting the most qualified employees for specific job roles, and improving the mental and physical wellbeing of people in the workplace. IO Psychology is the scientific study of the workplace based on sound scientific theory and proven psychological methods. The employees in the workplace usually come from the community where the workplace is located. If the workers are not from the specific area accommodation and facilities are created and offered in the immediate area of the workplace. With the inter-woven nature of the community and the workplace, the focus area of IO Psychology often crosses either directly or indirectly between the workplace and the community. A well-known contention is that “we create the world we live in”. And this goes

further to say that we become what our environment allow us to become. Employees who are happy and content in their workplace are likely to transfer that same good feeling back to their communities. And workers who are living in a happy community are likely to carry their happiness to their workplace. The influence of the community on the workplace and vice versa can have various reciprocal effects. Examples are a plenty; wage disputes that spill over to communities, workplace disputes that results in strikes and the subsequent economic hardship; transport systems that is insufficient resulting in demotivated employees, basic services that are inadequate such as basic sanitation, water and electricity resulting in employees feeling demotivated and even depressed. Maintaining the community and addressing the problems in the community to the benefit of the organisations and the individual workers is therefore an important focus area in the broader field of IO Psychology. IO Psychologists, being the specialists in workplace psychology offer experience and knowledge to the work environment, the employees, employers, organisations and the broader community to address the unique

Mental illness can be treated The recent death of world’s renowned actor Robin Williams is testimony that mental illness is a serious condition, and needs to be taken seriously. More often, people may not recognise that they suffer from this condition. It is important for people to begin learning and understanding the symptoms, causes and ways to deal with mental health problems. The South African Depression and Anxie ty Group mentioned that about one in six of the South African population suffers from mental health problems, with some severe enough to necessitate hospitalisation. Mental illness, a disease or condition that influences our emotional, physical, and social well-being, affects the way we think, feel and interact with our surroundings. Research conducted by the South African College of Applied Psychology, revealed that over 40% of people living with HIV in South Africa have a diagnosable mental disorder, in lower socio-economic settlements surrounding Cape Town, one in three women suffer from postnatal depression, and about 41% of pregnant women are depressed in rural Kwazulu-Natal. Mental illness symptoms can range from mild to severe, and are different depending on the type of illness. A person with untreated mental illness is often unable to cope with everyday routines. This condition can be prevented if intervention is timely, it does not have to land people in hospitals. The National Healthy Worksite stated in its 2012 research report that causes of mental illness remain unknown, but in most ca-

ses, they could be a combination of factors including genetic, biological, psychological and environmental factors Conditions regarded as Mental Illnesses There are different conditions recognised as mental illness, with common types like substance dependency, commonly known as addiction, which could be alcohol, drug, and nicotine addictions.. Another form of mental illness is depression, which may occur once during one’s lifetime. Major depression is one of the episodes causing a series of mixed emotions such as sadness, anger, loss of interest, sleep disturbances and anxiety which could lead to suicidal thoughts. Bestmed encourages people who go through these kinds of emotions to find medical help as soon as possible. Preventative healthcare is key, and can save lives. In a bid to assist people cope with this burdensome disease, Bestmed is one of the medical schemes that provides cover that includes major depression for its members on the Beat 4, Pace 1, and Pace 2 and Pulse 2 options as a non CDL (Chronic Disease List) condition. These benefits are, however, subject to availability of funds allocated on different benefit options for services rendered out of hospital; however pre authorisation should be obtained for services rendered during hospitalisation. * Other mental diseases such a bi-polar mood disorder and schizophrenia qualify for Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs) on all Bestmed’s benefit options, says Dr Elsabe Hammann, General Practitioner at Bestmed.

challenges. That it is not always easy is evident from the plethora of groups and initiatives who tries to address behavioural issues in the community and the workplace, yet we are constantly reminded of the lack of results. Recent cases of industrial action and community unrest are examples of where the deep seated historical challenges seem to be insurmountable. Every situation is unique with its own requirements, demands, related to the main elements of organisations, individuals, interest groups etc. and requires a unique approach. Problems and projects are approached from different perspectives, i.e. the community, organisations, business and individuals to explore what best could be done to offer a suitable solution. Community projects such as recycling, transport routes, determining new development areas, location of new schools, service delivery, development and building shopping complexes, sport and recreational facilities are some of the bigger and often more visible areas where IO Psychologists can contribute and be of value. Less visible areas and projects include the numerous NGOs and non-profit organisations

and groups concerned with i.e. animal protection, HIV/Aids, homeless shelters, disability care, and a host of other areas. IO Psychologists as specialists in workplace psychology offer the different role players specialist help to address challenges in the broader community and in doing so aid in creating a community where happy individuals can become productive and dedicated workers in the different economic areas. This in turn will play back into the economic health of the broader community – remember the contention “we create the environment where we live and work.” If you are aware of, or plan to start or are already involved with any project related to the initiatives mentioned then you should consider the benefits from using the expertise of an IO psychologist. * For enquiries or comments contact Dr Danie du Toit on danie.dutoit@nwu.ac.za or 0824673933 or Dr Lourens van Schalkwyk on drlou617@gmail.com or 060 752 5678, or SIOPSA (Society for Industrial & Organisational Psychology of SA) info@siopsa.org.za 0860 SIOPSA (746772) for more information.

AfriForum verloor staatmaker VANDERBIJLPARK. - Wynand Bezuidenhout, wat sedert 2012 die voorsitter van AfriForum se Vanderbijlpark-tak was, is verlede week na ’n lang stryd teen ’n seldsame kanker oorlede. Wynand was toegewyd aan AfriForum en aktief in sy strewe na oplossings vir probleme in plaaslike regeringsake binne die Emfuleni Plaaslike Munisipaliteit. Hy was onder meer by vergaderings betrokke om bywette in Vanderbijlpark te laat bekragtig. “Wynand het die eienskappe van ’n goeie

leier gehad en het sy vaardighede aangewend om die welstand van die gemeenskap te bevorder en om te veg vir geregtigheid. Hy was altyd ’n voorbeeld van toegewydheid en deursettingsvermoë in alles wat hy aangepak het, ondanks sy siekte. Ons dink aan sy familie en geliefdes in ons gebede in hierdie moeilike tyd,” sê Marcus Pawson, AfriForum se provinsiale koördineerder in Gauteng-Suid. Wynand word oorleef deur sy vrou Sarie, kinders en kleinkinders.

Hulle vat ook goed by mense en sê hulle het kopers en verdwyn met die goed. 082 466 3313. * Wil net die buurman waarsku, sy hond wat op my gras sy stink ^%$^# kom los, sy g@t gaan brand van die terps. As jy sien jou hond skuur sy agterwê reld oral, moet jy weet! * Hene mense wat gaan aan? Hoekom staan daar deesdae so baie wit senior burgers by verkeersligte en bedel? Waar is die welsyn? Waar is die plekke wat so donasies vra om te help? Hoekom gaan haal julle hulle nie? River Square /Checkers Arcon Park en Spar. Dis hartverskeurend! * Hi dit gaan kwaai op die hoek van Jennerstraat en Frikkie Meyerboulevard. Die taxi’s staan dwars oor die stopstraat en laai mense af. Motors kan nie oor of inkom nie. * Ek het ‘n loopraam en baie ou radio’s met plate speler beskikbaar. 082 466 3313. * Laekoste behuising word vir mense gegee wat vaste inkomste het en goeie salarisse verdien en dan moet die armes op straat sit. Die huis wat vier jaar gelede afgebrand het is reggemaak, maar vir iemand anders gegee. Daar word vir die mense ge sê hul moet wag vir die huis, maar die persoon wat in hul huis bly is ‘n munisipale werker wat onder soek word. Waar is geregtigheid en regverdigheid nou? Die saak gaan deurgestuur word na Carte Blanche vir ondersoek. * ‘n Sekere regsfirma in Vanderbijlpark help mense met regsprobleme. Die enigste probleem is dat na dat hulle jou geld ontvang het, hoor jy nooit weer van hulle nie, al bel jy hulle. Moet die gereg nie biet jie gaan ondersoek instel nie? Baie mense se geld word gevat, maar geen resultate word gekry nie.

han? Martie. (Ons dink nie Pravin sal meer kan help nie... Red). * Vrou het wol en klere gevat en patone, sou dit afrol en terugbring, maar ek wag vir patrone asb.

‘n Mens mag dalk kan vertel sy was die eerste kind gebore in Vanderbijlpark hospitaal, ja maar nie in ‘n huis nie. Mense bly al vir duisende jare in die Van derbijlpark omgewing. Rob. (U is reg daarom sê ons in die berig hulle was die eerste kinders wat hier gebore is na die grondlegging van die dorp. Daar was destyds minder as 1 000 huise en net een vroedvrou wat al die babas in 1944 gevang het. Sy het van almal geweet.) * Ek wil Leon se SMS oor Vaalweekblad wat veren gels, beaam. 99% van 8 Oktober se advertensies is Engels. Is dit ook vir die Engelse lesers, bl. 18 uitgesluit? Gerrit. (Afrikaanssprekendes het die reg om te kla en ons sal dit graag aan ons adverteerders oordra. Klagtes kan ongelukkig ook boemerang. Engelse adverteerders kan besluit om hul adver tensies heeltemal uit Vaalweekblad te onttrek, dan is dit die einde van ons koerant wat tans darem nog heelwat Afrikaans bevat. Red). * Ag nee wat doen julle met ons koerant Vaalweek blad? Daar is gans te veel Engelse berigte in ons Afrikaanse Vaalweekblad. Ons geniet dit glad nie, nou sal ons maar weer ‘n ander koerant moet soek in Afrikaans. Ai man! (Laat weet ons gerus as daar Engelse berigte is wat u graag in Afrikaans vertaal wil hê. Ons stuur dit met graagte aan u. Red). * Ek kyk nou die aand ‘n program oor hoeveel lig gaamsluise en bakterie die gewone mens op en in hul lyf het. O AARDE hoe erg! Ek sit nou al deur die dag my kop kussings in die son en trek dubbel slope oor... darem slaap my kop dan alleen, al vreet die vellyse my lyf se afval heel aand. Dink asb. daaraan wanneer jy die volgende keer ‘n lekker sappige soen uitdeel, dat jy miljoene bakterie van die ander mond af erf!! Soentjie. Sasolburg. (Dis waar, maar ai, hoe bederf jy nou ons romanses! Red). * Ek was 16 jaar oud toe ‘n ou tannie my in ‘n hysbak “oorval” met foto’s van haar dierba re ou kleinkindertjies. Ek het myself belowe ek sal NOOIT so ‘n oor las van myself maak nie... tot vandag, toe ek myself vang foto’s uitdeel van my eie dier bare kleinkinders...

* Pragtige rok op blad sy 9 van vorige Vaal weeklad verwys, maar o wee! Behoede my as daai dametjie vooroor moet buk. Kies vol gende keer asb. ‘n be ter model vir die rok. * As ek die SMS’e so lees van hoe die men se so kla oor mekaar, dan laat dit my dink aan myselwers. Toe ons 25 jaar gelede getroud is, het my bruidjie my die eerste aand so nakend bewonder en gefluister: “Gert jy lyk soos ‘n griekse god.” Stap sy gisteraand die badka mer in en gee my een kyk en sê: “Hygend “g#d Gert, jy lyk soos ‘n Griek.”

* Ek wil die mense net reghelp. Mense dis rolstoel en nie rystoel nie!!! (Volgens die handwoordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (HAT), word dit albei om skryf as ‘n stoel op wiele, wat met iemand daarop rondgestoot kan word, of wat die persoon wat daarop sit, self kan rondstoot. Ook “Stoel vir ver lamdes of invalides”. Red). * Op soek na huurhuis in Heidelberg, Gauteng vanaf einde Januarie 2015. Privaat huur. SMS my by 073 978 3761. * Wil net weer eens baie dankie sê. Vir die tweede keer stuur ek ‘n SMS en die terugvoer was onge looflik! Baie dankie, ek het stoorplek gevind. * Weet jy hoekom word getroude vroue so vet? As ons ongetroud is, gaan ons na werk kyk wat is in die yskas, is teleurgesteld en gaan bed toe. As ons getroud is, gaan ons bed toe, kyk wat is daar en gaan yskas toe! * I agree, certain bus drivers are a danger to others on the roads! * Ag ek wil net asb. hoor of iemand nie ‘n wasma sjien aan my wil skenk nie.

Vaalweekblad, 15 Oktober 17 Oktober 2014

Sake

Geen onderhoud, geen huislening Mense wat nie onderhoud vir hul kinders betaal nie gaan dit binnekort weens voorgestelde wysigings aan die Nasionale Kredietwet baie moeiliker vind, indien nie onmoontlik nie, om eiendom te koop. Dit is die nuus van Richard Gray, uitvoerende hoof van Harcourts Real Estate, wat verduidelik dat die wysigings, wat binnekort in die Parlement ter tafel gelê gaan word, daarvoor voorsiening maak dat maandelikse betaling van onderhoud by die lys van skuldverpligtinge gevoeg word wat banke in berekening moet bring wanneer beskostigbaar-

heidsondersoeke vir die toestaan van krediet gedoen word. Dit maak ook voorsiening daarvoor dat enige hofbevele teen ‘n ontduiker op sy kredietrekord aangeteken word en vyf jaar lank geldig bly of totdat dit deur ‘n hof herroep word. “Ongelukkig is ontduiking van onderhoud baie algemeen in SA, waar bykans die helfte van alle kinders deur enkelouers grootgemaak word, maar die Departement van Justisie hoop dat die wysigings daartoe gaan bydra dat die situasie omgekeer word,” sê hy.

“En ons verwag beslis dat dit vir almal wat nie onderhoudsverpligtinge teenoor hul kinders nakom nie, baie moeilik gaan wees om goedsmoeds finansiering te bekom om ‘n nuwe huis of beleggingseiendom te koop.” Gray verduidelik dat die Nasionale Kredietwet reeds bepaal dat enige bank wat ‘n aansoek om ‘n huislening evalueer eers moet vasstel wat die aansoeker se inkomste is, wat die gereelde maandelikse uitgawes beloop en watter skuldverpligtinge die aansoeker reeds ingevolge enige skuldooreenkomste wat by kredietburo’s aangeteken is, het.

“Dit skryf ook streng strafmaatreëls voor vir ‘roekelose lenings’ en ons almal weet hoe dit huislenings die afgelope paar jaar beïnvloed het omdat banke oorversigtig was. “Met die insluiting van onderhoudsbetalings by die lys van skuldverpligtinge wat nou by aansoeke om krediet oorweeg moet word en wanbetaling van onderhoud wat by krediet tellings in ag geneem moet word, is dit hoogs onwaarskynlik dat enigeen wat hul onderhoudsverpligtinge versuim ‘n huislening - of enige ander krediet - sal kan bekom,”sê hy.

RetiRement RefoRm 2015 – PaRt ii

In a previous article we broadly described the retirement reform that will take effect on 1 March 2015. To highlight a few points, we mentioned that provident funds as we know it will seize and new rules and governance will come into effect. We also mentioned in July that we expect to see uproar and withdrawals as we near the set date. This has already started and for various reasons. Some good reasons (rumours about saving banks) which I am not going to discuss today, and some bad reasons for those that do not understand the change. Today I will focus into more important detail. This important detail comes down to one question only and this crucial question that society has embedded in all of us is: How will i be affected by the new legislation on provident funds? The effect of the alignment between provident and pension funds will take a long time to have an impact on members, and will not affect provident fund members who are currently close to retirement. All provident fund members will still be able to take all their retirement savings that would have been accumulated as at 1 March 2015 as a cash lump sum whenever they go into retirement. The conversion of a portion of the retirement money into income at retire-

ment will only apply to new contributions made by those who are younger than 55 when the new rules come into effect. This means that members who are 55 years and older on 1 March 2015, when the new rules come into effect, will not be affected. They will therefore still be able to even take (new) contributions made after the new rules as a cash lump sum in retirement. Further, workers who are below 55 years on 1 March 2015, will not be asked to annuitize or take a pension on the portion of new contributions if the total of those new contributions is less than the R150 000 (“de minimis rule”) threshold when they reach retirement. Irrespective of age, whatever a member has accumulated in the provident fund as at 1 March 2015, will be available to them as a cash lump sum when the person retires (i.e. protection of vested rights). examples of How the Annuitisation Requirement for Provident Fund Benefits will apply Scenario 1: All provident fund members who are 55 years old and above on 1 March 2015 will not be affected by the change. Provident fund member A is 55 years old on the date of implementation of legislative changes (1 March 2015) and has accumulated R350 000 as at 1 March 2015. At retirement on 1 March 2020, member A is 60 years old and has accumulated an additional R70 020 (i.e. “new contributions” after 1 March 2015). Member A, will therefore, upon retirement, be entitled to take the entire provident fund benefit (i.e. R420 020) as a cash lump sum.

Scenario 2: A provident fund member who is less than 55 years old on 1 March 2015, with new contributions below the de minimis threshold amount of R150 000 Provident fund member B is 50 years old on the date of implementation of legislative changes (1 March 2015) and has accumulated R280 080 as at 1 March 2015. At retirement on 1 March 2025, member B is 60 years old and has accumulated an additional R140 040. Member B, will therefore, upon retirement, be entitled to take R420 120 as a cash lump sum at retirement (made up of the first R280 080 plus R140 040 which is the benefit accumulated after 1 March 2015). Member B is not affected by the annuitisation requirement because the amount accumulated after 1 March 2015 (i.e. “new contributions”) is less than the R150 000 de minimis threshold amount. Scenario 3: A provident fund member who is less than 55 years old on 1 March 2015, with

new contributions above the de minimis threshold amount of R150 000 Provident fund member C is 45 years old on the date of implementation of legislative changes (1 March 2015) and has accumulated R237 000 as at 1 March 2015. At retirement, on 1 March 2030, member C is 60 years old and has accumulated an additional R210 060. Member C, will therefore, upon retirement, be entitled to take R307 020 as a cash lump sum at retirement (made up of the first R237 000 plus R70 020 which is one-third of (R210 060) the benefit accumulated after 1 March 2015, i.e. “new contributions”), and the remaining (two-thirds) R140 040 must be used to purchase an annuity/ pension. There may still be uncertainty and other burning questions – feel free to contact our offices for answers to those unanswered questionmarks.

A LOVING HOME THAT REFLECTS SOUTH AFRICAN DIVERSITY

082 3355 743

From Kids Parties to Weddings, we do it all!

Consider adoption as an option. South Africa is a country with 11 official languages, hundreds of cultural groups and numerous recognised religions. Every day, families everywhere are mixing up these ingredients to create this multi-wonderful nation that we know and love. If you are thinking of adoption, have you considered adopting a child from a different race or culture? Children are just children, no matter their biological background, and all children need a loving home. Start your journey today by learning the facts with Add-option, South Africa’s first national adoption resource centre. “There is a big difference between the idea of cross-cultural adoption, and actually taking a little boy or girl into your home. We didn’t adopt an idea, we adopted Jenna! And from the first moment she has been the love of our lives, exactly the same as a proud mom and dad would reach out for their biological baby at the hospital. The only difference is that she wasn’t born from our womb, but from our hearts.”

VANDERBIJLPARK. - Sharky Town, dié kuierplek vir liefhebbers van lekker lewendige musiek, het verlede naweek gekóók toe die Country-sanger Carlo Leone sy jongste CD, Klaasvakie, bekend gestel het. Dit was duidelik dat dié gewilde sanger na meer as 40 jaar in die musiekbedryf, steeds daarin slaag om jonk en oud se voete te kielie en hartsnare te roer. Met sy omgee-persoonlikheid, selfdissipline en energieke vertonings is Carlo nie net ‘n groot gunsteling by luisteraars nie, maar baie plaaslike jong kunstenaars getuig ook daarvan dat hy hul rolmodel as mens en kunstenaar is.

Maar wie is dié innemende man regtig en hoe het hy in die musiekwêreld beland? “My musiekloopbaan het in standerd ses aan die Hoërskool Vanderbijlpark begin toe ek tydens ons skool se groentjiekonsert moes optree. My vriend, Eddie Wilson, wat kitaar gespeel het, moes my baie vinnig die ‘basics’ van ‘n liedjie leer en dis waar die musiekgogga my gebyt en nooit weer laat los het nie,” vertel Carlo. Hulle het later ‘n skoolorkes, ‘The Vultures’, gestig en gereeld by skoolpartytjies opgetree. Dit was destyds die einde van die Shadows-era, waarna die Beatles hul verskyning gemaak het. “Ek was onmiddellik ‘n groot aanhanger van dié talentvolle Britse groep. Dit het groot

probleme vir my veroorsaak by die skool, want ongelukkig was ek ook baie trots op my lang hare. Op die eerste dag van matriek het die onderhoof my voor die gym-saal ingewag en die ultimatum gestel: ‘Sny jou hare of verlaat die skool!” Die besluit was maklik en Carlo het besluit om ‘n professionele musikant te word. Sy pa, ‘n stoere Italianer wat met ‘n Afrikaanse nooi getrou het, het egter daarop aangedring dat Carlo ‘n ambag moes voltooi om op terug te val as sy musiekloopbaan sou misluk. Na musiek was fisika sy tweede liefde en hy het as ‘n vakleerling in instrumentwerktuigkunde by Yskor in Vanderbijlpark begin werk en sy matriek aan die Technikon met onderskeidings in fisika en wiskunde voltooi. Ongelukkig was dit daardie jare nie maklik om ‘n bestaan uit musiek te maak nie en nadat hy in 1972 getroud is, moes sy werksloopbaan prioriteit geniet. Musiek moes vir baie jare daarna net sy stokperdjie word tewyl hy op ‘n “regte” loopbaan gefokus het. Tussendeur was daar darem tyd vir toer saam met Dana Niehaus en Fanus Rautenbach. Hy was hulle direkte voorprogram-kunstenaar “en die ironie was dat ‘n destydse onbekende Vaaldriehoekse sanger met die naam Bles Bridges, saam met ons getoer het!”

vertel Carlo. Deur die jare het Carlo op menige Country-vertoning saam met sterre soos o.a. Lance James, Clive Bruce, Kenny Oliver, Tommy Oliver, Billy Forrest, Tommy Dell, Barbara Ray, Joanna Field, Gene Rockwell, Caroline en Vicky du Preez, Vangie Coker, Bobby Louw, Bobby Angel, Jody Wayne en Sally Vaughn opgetree. Na 32 jaar diens by die destydse Yskor het hy as bestuurder: Ingenieurstegnologie afgetree en kon musiek weer die nommer een-posisie in sy lewe beklee. Carlo het reeds verskeie CD’s die lig laat sien, waarvan verskeie nommers ereposisies op die S.A. Country Top 10 en die Top 20 treffersparades van radiostasies soos IFM 102.2 behaal het. Tans bedryf hy sy eie opname-ateljee, CBL Productions, in Vanderbijlpark. Hy het hard gewerk aan sy jongste CD, Klaasvakie, wat pas vrygestel is, en hy beloof dat hy nie weer drie jaar gaan wag voordat hy sy volgende bekendstel nie. * Luister gerus Sondagaande om 21:45 na die SA Country Top Tien op IFM 102.2 vir meer nuus oor plaaslike en nasionale kunstenaars. Drie lesers wat aan Ster en Vaalweekblad se “Carlo”-wedstryd deelgeneem het, wen sy jongste CD. Hulle is Erna Maritz, Una Marais en Robbie Myburgh. Skakel 083 246 0523 om u CD’s op te eis.

Swimmers and coach excel SASOLBURG. - During the SASOL Winter Champs the Vanderbijlpark Titans showcased their swimming abilities, taking home 17 gold, 46 silver and 52 bronze medals.This 5-day national championship took place in Sasolburg from October 3 to 8. The Titans’ hard work awarded them the Top Performing Junior Squad, while the senior squad earned second place behind a dominant Kloof Swimming Club. The swimmers achieved many personal best times, performing admirably under the tutelage of their coach, Benny Janssen, who was awarded second place for the best coach. The Vanderbijlpark Titans is a club where everyone is welcome; the camaraderie between members resembles that of a tight knit family. “We are exceedingly proud of our swimmers and parents alike.

Vaal kook by Gautengweek Sportkantoor

No fear of failure! Met dié slagspreuk as motivering en ‘n punt om te bewys het die Vaaldriehoek o.19-krieketspan sy stempel tydens die Gauteng o.19-krieketweek afgedruk. Waar die streekspan die afgelope paar jaar melkkoeie was, is die bordjies vanjaar verhang met die span wat al vyf sy kragmetings gewen het. Die span het onder meer vir St John’s College, Jeppe Boys High en Parktown Boys High druipstert huis toe gestuur. Die krieketweek wat oor vier dae plaasvind en 20/20, eendagkrieket en tydkrieket insluit, dien ook as verdere proewe vir die onderskeie Gauteng-spanne wat later vanjaar aan die nasionale weke gaan deelneem. Op die eerste dag het die manne van die Vaal teen Parktown Boys High in ‘n tydwedstryd te staan gekom. Die Vaal se aanvangskolwers Henri van Zyl en Wian Britz het met ‘n goeie aanvangsvennootskap van 45 lopies getoon dat senuwees nie ‘n rol by die span gaan speel nie. Geduldige kolfwerk het die Vaal toegelaat om 266/9 in 65 beurte aan te teken. Ruan Joubert (86) het ‘n kapteinsbeurt gespeel en is goed deur Hugo Terblanche (42) en Charl Penning (40) ondersteun. Na Joubert vroeg met die bal toegeslaan het en die span se draaibalboulers die krane toegedraai het, het Parktown se poging van ‘n jaagtog tot ‘n oorlewingstog verander. Hulle het geëindig met ‘n skamele 162/7 in 55 beurte. Die wedstryd teen Jeppe Boys High is een wat Penning nie sommer sal vergeet nie. Nadat sy twee paaltjies gehelp het om Jeppe tot 207/10 te beperk, het hy ‘n meesterklas in kolfwerk aangebied om ‘n uitste-

kende 100 van 72 aflewerings aan te teken. Joubert (64) en Terblanche (22*) het gesorg dat hulle die teiken in die 38ste beurt met vyf paaltjies in die bank verbysteek. Blitskrieket het die derde dag gevolg. Wernich Human het in dié formaat die beurt saam met van Zyl geopen. Dié kombinasie het teen beide Verre Wes-Rand en Sentraal Wes-Rand die span ‘n droombegin gegee. Van Zyl het sy vyftigtal teen Verre WesRand opgevolg met 31 lopies teen Sentraal. Human het 45 lopies in die eerste 20/20-wedstryd en ‘n briljante 63 lopies in die middagwedstryd aangeteken.

Teen Verre Wes-Rand het uitstekende boulwerk deur Dinecho Visser (4-1-17) en Abu-Bakr Gaffar (4-0-20) tot ‘n gemaklike sege met 29 lopies gelei. Terblanche het tydens die middagsessie in die tweede laaste beurt van Sentraal WesRand se beurt, twee paaltjies geneem om sodoende te verseker dat die Vaaldriehoek die wedstryd met 27 lopies wen. Op die laaste dag het die Visser/Gaffarkombinasie wéér die lopies laat opdroog. Die twee het in tandem 18 opeenvolgende beurte geboul waartydens vyf paaltjies van St John’s gekantel het. Die kolwers kon slegs

54 lopies bymekaarskraap. Visser (9-3-28) en Gaffar (9-2-26) het met puik syfers geëindig. Dit was ‘n puik opvolg, nadat die aanvangsboulers Joubert en Keegan Jansen van Rensburg St John’s op 8/2 na 3 beurte laat wankel het. St John’s is vir ‘n skamele 156 in die 43ste beurt uitgeboender. Na afloop van die toernooi is Henri van Zyl vir die Gauteng o.19B-span gekies. Die aandag verskuif nou na die Krieket Suid-Afrika (KSA) o.17 Plattelandweek wat van 11 tot 15 Desember in Klerksdorp plaasvind.
