Die ergste oor Manto het die koerante nog nie gehaal nie - dis die
TB-storie!!! TB, veral MDR en XDR TB is buite beheer - dis 'n veldbrand wat
nie gestuit kan word nie! Die regering kan nie genoeg beddens beskikbaar
maak om die die gevalle te hanteer nie.
En Manto is uitsluitlik daarvoor verantwoordelik.
1) Sy het in 1998 besluit om 6 maande hospitalisasie na slegs 2 maande
verkort, ten spyte daarvan dat dié mense wat op grond vlak in die stryd teen
TB betrokke was daarteen gewaarsku het:
a) dat daar nie die nodige infrastruktuur bestaan om te versekere dat
behandeling susksevol buitekant die hospitale voltooi kon word nie en tot 'n
toename in weerstandige TB kan lei
b) dat daar 'n totale gebrek aan disspline in die SA samelewing is - die
soort dissipline wat nodig sou wees om behandeling in die gemeenskappe
i.p.v. in die hospitale te laat slaag.
2) SANTA het in ongeveer 2000 deur 'n moeilike fase gegaan met 'n klomp
binnegevegte - en hulle Manto se vyandigheid op die hals gehaal. Manto het
daar en dan besluit dat SANTA moet uit die vergelyking gehaal word en sy het
eiehandig toegesien dat die grootste , oudste en mees ervare anti-TB NRO in
Afrika se hospital gevat word, hulle subsidies afgesny word en eenvoudig
lamgelê word. SANTA het honderde veldwerkers gehad wat oor duisende
vrywilligers in die gemeenskappe gewaak het. Manto het dit vernietig en 'n
totale vakuum gelaat - 'n vakuum wat nou in die skrikwekkende toename in
weerstandige TB weerspieël.
3) In 2004 het AL die rolspelers in die stryd teen TB, d.i. die
Departement, Privaatsektor en NROs by Midrand byeengekom om die
gefragmenteerdheid van die stryd aan te spreek en 'n gesamentlike strategie
op te stel. Daar is besluit op 'n koalisie teen TB ("CAT" Coalition against
TB). Toe die bestuursliggaam 'n voorsitter kies warvan Manto nie hou nie en
weier dat sy 'n voorsitter aanwys van haar keuse, het sy die Departement
onttrek en CAT vernietig!
IN THIS column I will comment on three separate media issues, all
related. One has to do with an undeserved eulogy for the African
National Congress (ANC) that appeared in Rapport last week; another
with the parliamentary speaker's unholy tit-for-tat with Democratic
Alliance (DA) MP Mike Waters; and the third with the proposed SABC
board candidates.
In his regular column in Rapport on September 9, Prof Jakes Gerwel
confirms his editor's remark that there are few Afrikaans speakers who
love the ANC as deeply as he does, claiming that this deep love
(innige liefde) is more than just blind loyalty. It is a love for a
party that represents the hopes and dreams of South Africans like no
other. This love for the ANC is a connection to and an affection
(verknogtheid) for the nation's aspirations enshrined in the Freedom
Charter; it is an admiration for a leadership that was politically
moral. And so this love declaration continues, with a few caveats that
the succession battle might temporarily derail it, but on the whole it
is doing well. The economy is strong, our political system is solid,
institutions are functioning well, and civil society is vibrant.
One must either be delusional or desperate to write a love ode to a
party that has failed in every way, that is in dire straits and that
has long lost the plot. The column ends reassuring Madiba that he,
Gerwel, will never turn his back on the ANC. How can one make such an
unqualified commitment to something as ephemeral as a political party?
Political parties come and go and, if anything, they should be loyal
to their members, not the other way around. It is precisely this blind
loyalty that has become the fatal flaw inherent in the party. Has this
innige liefde perhaps something to do with his own vested interests
that are so intricately tied up with the ruling elite, in the same way
as the speaker of Parliament, Baleka Mbete, finds it impossible to be
independent and impartial, as we saw with her response to Waters?
When Waters raised a perfectly normal question about the criminal
conviction of Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang and her
suitability for high office, he was ejected from Parliament. As has
become customary in South African politics, the messenger gets shot
and his behaviour becomes the problem, not the one about whom he
raised the question. He gets accused of demeaning the Âdignity of
Parliament, as though it has any.
If anyone was unbecoming, it was Mbete, who behaved like a Cape Flats
skollie and who, by her very presence, insults Parliament daily.
Implicated in the travel scandal and a recipient of a fraudulent
driving licence, as investigated by the Moldenhauer commission, she is
neither fit nor proper to be speaker. So despite everyone's ranting
and raving that Waters behaved badly, his behaviour was perfectly in
line with what opposition is meant to do, and to do robustly.
And this brings me to the wretched SABC, about which I have written
numerous columns over the years. While most critiques were directed at
the past board members, who failed spectacularly in protecting the
integrity of the broadcaster, the new ones are similarly suspect in
their various linkages to the president.
For one, Pansy Tlakula is chief electoral officer and, as such, has to
be completely impartial. To even agree to stand shows how out of
kilter she is with the requirements of her job. Her job is to monitor
the SABC during elections and ensure it is impartial in its treatment
of all political parties. Second, the fear that Christine Qunta might
ascend to the chair is very real, and to appoint her to this position
would be like making Robert McBride safety and security minister.
Qunta defies every tenet of objectivity, independence and impartiality
that one would require of the head of the public broadcaster. In her
columns, she tops the list as Queen of Racist Politics, so much so
that in response to one of her columns in the Cape Argus, I commented
that if apartheid had not existed, she would have invented it.
Having lived mostly in Australia while we were busy with the struggle,
Qunta suffers from the syndrome of having to prove her political
credentials by sucking up to those in power.

Iets oor die onverdraagsaamheid van Calvyn vir jou:
-----------------------------------------
Calvin's Reign of Terror
After some negotiation, Ami Perrin, commissioner for Geneva, persuaded
Calvin to return. He did so, though unwillingly, on September 13,
1541. His entry was modest. Geneva was a church-city-state of 15,000
people, and the church constitution now recognized "pastors, doctors,
elders and deacons," but the supreme power was given to the
magistrate, John Calvin. In November 1552, the Council declared
Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion to be a "holy doctrine
which no man might speak against." Thus the State issued dogmatic
decrees, the force of which had been anticipated earlier, as when
Jacques Gruet, a known opponent of Calvin, was arrested, tortured for
a month and beheaded on July 26, 1547, for placing a letter in
Calvin's pulpit calling him a hypocrite. Gruet's book was later found
and burned along with his house while his wife was thrown out into the
street to watch. Gruet's death was more highly criticized by far than
the banishment of Castellio or the penalties inflicted on Bolsec --
moderate men opposed to extreme views in discipline and doctrine, who
fell under suspicion as reactionary. Calvin did not shrink from his
self-appointed task. Within five years fifty-eight sentences of death
and seventy-six of exile, besides numerous committals of the most
eminent citizens to prison, took place in Geneva. The iron yoke could
not be shaken off. In 1555, under Ami Perrin, a revolt was attempted.
No blood was shed, but Perrin lost the day, and Calvin's theocracy
triumphed. John Calvin had secured his grip on Geneva by defeating the
very man, Ami Perrin, commissioner of Geneva, who had invited him
there.
John Calvin - Wikipedia.
John Calvin - Catholic Encyclopedia
Calvin forced the citizens of Geneva to attend church services under a
heavy threat of punishment. Since Calvinism falsely teaches that God
forces the elect to believe, it is no wonder that Calvin thought he
could also force the citizens of Geneva to all become the elect. Not
becoming one of the elect was punishable by death or expulsion from
Geneva. Calvin exercised forced regeneration on the citizens of Geneva
because that is what his theology teaches.
Michael Servetus, a Spaniard, a physician, a scientist and a Bible
scholar was born in Villanova in 1511. He was credited with the
discovery of the pulmonary circulation of the blood from the right
chamber of the heart through the lungs and back to the left chamber of
the heart. He was Calvin's longtime friend in their earlier resistance
against the Roman Catholic Church. Servetus, while living in Vienne
(historic city in southeastern France), angered Calvin by returning a
copy of Calvin's writings, Institutes, with critical comments in the
margins. Servetus was arrested by the Roman Catholic Authorities on
April 4 but escaped on April 7, 1553. He traveled to Geneva where he
attended Calvin's Sunday preaching service on August 13. Calvin
promptly had Servetus arrested and charged with heresy for his
disagreement with Calvin's theology. The thirty-eight official charges
included rejection of the Trinity and infant baptism. Servetus was
correct in challenging Calvin's false teaching about infant baptism
leading to salvation, but he was heretical in his rejection of the
doctrine of the Trinity. Servetus pleaded to be beheaded instead of
the more brutal method of burning at the stake, but Calvin and the
city council refused the quicker death method. Other Protestant
churches throughout Switzerland advised Calvin that Servetus be
condemned but not executed. Calvin ignored their pleas and Servetus
was burned at the stake on October 27, 1553. Servetus was screaming as
he was literally baked alive from the feet upward and suffered the
heat of the flames for 30 minutes before finally succumbing to one of
the most painful and brutal death methods possible. Servetus had
written a theology book, a copy of which Calvin had strapped to the
chest of Servetus. The flames from the burning book rose against
Servetus' face as he screamed in agony.

Religion is man-made, the gospel is God-given.
Religion is man's search for God. The Gospel is God's search for man.
Religion leaves a man is he is. The Gospel makes him as he ought to
be.
Religion tends to outer reformation. The Gospel makes for inner
transformation.
Religion white washes. The Gospel washes white.
Religion is a farce. The Gospel is a force that saves from sin.
Religion is man's good views. The Gospel is God's Good News.
Religion is good advice. The Gospel is a glorious announcement.
Religion is hoping to meet God on the top rung. In the Gospel God
descends the ladder, in the incarnation of Christ and meets sinners at
the lowest rung of the cross.
The Gospel is that God loves us, that Christ died for us,
that He has risen and ascended back to heaven.
There He awaits all who will repent of their sins, believe what He did
to forgive their sins, and become followers of Him in daily life.
Have you repented and believed? Do you follow Him daily?
It is not your sins that separate you from God. It is that you have
not accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your life.
Jesus never said "I came that you might have 'religion' more
abundantly - but 'Life' more abundantly"

Ek raak toe wakker van n laatnamiddag slapie ( nadat
ons die middel van die dag met n twee-en-n-halfjarige
kleinkind intellektueel en fisies moes kompeteer) toe
sien ek net die laaste tien minute of so van die
wedstryd tussen Namibia en Frankryk. My man,
wat teen daardie tyd na sy derde rugby-wedstryd
van die dag gekyk het, was woedend oor die man
wat hulle van die veld af gestuur het, so dit was
duidelik dat hy aan Namibia se kant was toe ek
in die sitkamer kom. En toe ek die wit outjie
so sien nael, toe vertel ek vir myself, dit is
Afrikaner se kind wat daar so hol. Die Namibia
se span lyk darem vreeslik wit, vir n land met
een miljoen mense, waarvan die grootste gros
seker swart en bruin en baster is. Ek dink ek
moet bietjie met Mbeki praat oor die saak.

Nee, ek onthou van jou vorige pos dat jy 'n klomp siek gemors pos.
En hou op om aan my deur te hamer hier, ek is besig om na 'n nuwe
blaadjie om te slaan - ek het my hardeskyf geformateer en
herinstalleer alles en sal tot laat besig wees daarmee. Nou bly jy
hier aan die deur hamer en ek onthou wat jy laas gepos het, so vat
baadjie en raak weg! Jy soek geselskap.
Geluk aan die Bokke wat die Souties so gelooi het en 'n standbeeld vir
Fourie du Preez. Hulle laat mens kortasem raak oor die WB moontlikhede om
dalk die eindstryd te haal en nog te wen ook! Die belangrikste bydraende
faktor is die afwesigheid van Jean de Villiers het gemaak dat daar nou
senters is wat die lyn kan sny in 'n aanval. Francois Steyn is nog
onbederf en nie soos De Villiers en De Wet Barry se koors om vas te klou aan
elke bal en daarmee grond toe te gaan nie. Daar die era is genadiglik nou
verby. Nou moet net Jean Smith nog aanleer om 'n bal aan te gee en niemand
stop die Bokke nie.
