Gisteraand in Carte Blanche se verslag oor Medunsa, blyk die groot kroeks te
wees die nuwe rektor en 'n Afrikaanse prof.
Die grootste kroek is egter die hoof van die tuiniers, wat, ten spyte van
sy afdanking, nog steeds daar werk en 'n verbasende mag oor almal het,
insluitende die nuwe rektor
Die probleem met taal gebruik in Australië is dat hulle nie verskil maak tussen studente en skoliere nie. Albei word "students" genoem. Te oordeel
aan die inhoud van die webwerf verwysings het ons hie beslis met skoliere ("pupils") te doen.

Wel, hier in Toronto het ons nou nie sulke verskonings nie. Maar
net verlede week het die Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto
( een van die beste kinderhospitale in die wêreld) veertig
uitsprake in hersiening geneem wat een spesifieke patoloog
aan gewerk het. Dié man se analises is glo ook in 'n hele
klomp kriminele sake gebruik. Uitsprake gebaseer op sy
getuinenis, wat in sekere gevalle uit leuens bestaan het,
sal nou ook in die oë van die reg weer hersien moet word.
en ek stap die CNA by 'n groot winkelkompleks hier by ons in
en besluit heel impulsief om vir 'n verandering 'n Afrikaanse koerant
te koop. Want die Beeld lê op die rak.
Laat vanmiddag kry ek my sit hier in die sitkamer met 'n beker
koffie en sleep die half vergete Beeld nader. By die lesersbriewe kom
ek toe hierop af:
brief1
Apartheid en korrupsie nie dieselfde
****************************
Mense wat weet, moet sterk eksepsie neem oor Ferdi Greyling se rubriek
van 8 Junie waarin hy beweer "wit Afrikaanse mans in die NP was maar
lekker korrup".
cut
cut
cut
Die tweede opsigtelik fout wat Greyling maak, is om die ANC hemelhoog
aan te prys vir sy "nie-rassigheid". Weet Greyling nie van die wette
oor swart ekonomiese bemagtiging wat doelgerig onderskei tussen swart
en wit mense in die land en spesifiek ingestel is om swart mense ten
koste van wit mense te bevoordeel nie? http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Briewe/0,,3-73_1719712,00.html
brief 2
Wie was 'lekker korrupte' NP-mans?
****************************
'n Ruk gelede was daar mos 'n bohaai oor die wat jy nou 'n volwasse knap
kaart in jou DSTV dekodeerder kan sit wat jou toegang gee tot 'n 24 uur blou
film kanaal. Nou wonder ek of die ouens werklik tou gestaan het om dit in
te laat sit of was dit maar net 'n bohaai oor niks? Ek sien op Bid or Buy
adverteer hulle 'n thingmajig wat jy by jou pc install wat jou ook toelaat
om internasionale stasies op te vang gratis, for you for niet, maar jy het
internet toegang nodig. Ek wou dit 'n try gee maar bang ek tel net sneeu
op! Het enige een ondervinding met die thingmajig?
Nog nie 'n dooie woord deur die hoofregter, aangewese hoofregter,
Vise-president ( Onse Prez is landuit), Minister van Justisie, Hoof van
Polisie, of enige " verantwoordelike" minister in die kabinet om die
rassistiese en lasterlike uitsprake deur sg. " jeugleiers" tov regter H.
Squires aan te spreek nie.

Pan
Opeens het piet-my-vrou gefluit
toe skrik erdwurms in die kluit,
en orals in die vlei steek
bolle hul groen peesters uit.
Bul
Hy snuif en snuif, nog eers verward
oor watter geur sy drif uittart,
dan kies sy horing snel één
van twee paaie na die hart.
Tweelinge
Daar is twee pole wat die gang verstoor
As teengesteldes wat gelyk bekoor,
en tussen hulle hou die hart en son
diep in die dop 'n dubbeldoor.
Krap
Ek kyk uit pantsers deur 'n kier
en flikker in die sonlig skêr en spier,
verberg die fyn en tere - agter
die stroewe skild op 'n skarnier.
Leeu
Hy gloei voor my uit die braambos
en vlam op vlam skud Hy Sy maanhaar los,
die koninklike vuur van die heelal
wat my van bloed en vlees verlos.
Maagd
Sy laat die uitverkore saad ontwaak,
die sakaboela nes in biesies maak -
Sy baar die eier, vrug en Knaap; maar gaan
van hierdie aarde self onaangeraak.
Weegskaal
Die nag en dag sal ek soms bring
deur wik en weeg tot ewening;
maar altyd roer tussen die twee
die wyser van die skemering.
Skerpioen
Onder die swart klip van die nag stoot
onverwags sy angel in my skoot;
ek worstel .. gee my oor aan die vergif,
aan die bedwelming van die dood.
Skutter
Ons sien 'n eland stadig nader kom
maar wei as trop rustig met hom;
dan tref 'n pyl en weet ons weer
die dood wei tussen ons vermom.
Steenbok
Ek het haar fyn en skugter teen die more
eens gesien, maar koersverlore
soek ek sedertdien oor stof en ryp
die paadjie van haar spore.
Waterman
Hy skep die waters weer byeen
en sonder ag op bid of ween,
kantel Hy na eie spel
dit deur die gieter weer uiteen.
Visse
Agter ysvlakke van 'n ander ryk
hang wesens wat liggies roei en wyk,
terugkeer, en met verstilde hartstog
na 'n afgestolpte wêreld kyk.
A NY teacher, going home at 10.40am to fetch lunch, found a leg and lower
torso in her garden.
According to Argus:
" The foot of the leg was broken, clad in a red Adidas sneaker and a Nike
sock.
She called the police, who identified the body parts as human remains."
