Wat sal jy doen as jy laat nag alleen op 'n donker pad ry, dit is koud en
nat buite, en jy sien 'n moeder, brandmaer, wat voortbeur met 'n swaar sak
in die een hand, en aan die ander hand is 'n armoedige kind wat
hartverskeurend hoes. Sal jy:
1) Stop en hulle oplaai
2) Jou flikkerligte aansit om te wys jy gaan afdraai
3) Bietjie stadiger ry dat jy hulle darem nie te veel nog natter spat nie
4) Doelbewus vorentoe staar asof jy hulle nie raakgesien het nie.
( uit Robert Kirby in M&G)

Dis vir my uiters snaaks dat 'n sekere joernalis al meer as 10 jaar gelede
gehelp uitbasuin het aan die Afrikaner dat ons die ANC/NP sal moet aanhang
ten einde vrede te kry
en wonderwerke sal dan gebeur met die reenboog nasie...
dat hy/sy nog nie die redakteur is nie!
Dit laat my onwillekeurig dink aan 'n ander joernalis met die naam van Max
wat vreeslik gat gekruip het by die klomp terroriste...vandag hoor 'n mens
naar weinig van die aap!Sy joppie was toe nie so erg verseker by die SYBC
nie.Ek kan wragtig nie wag dat dieselfde met andere soos hy maar wat by
ander groepe doenig was aan die breinspoeling van die Afrikaner sodat die
kommunisme in 'n nuwe uniformpie oulik moet lyk ,moet gebeur nie.Ek wens
regtig dat diegene wat so lustig aan die uitverkoping van hierdie klein
wit-Godsvresende volkie mee gedoen het moet van die gras af verdwyn...
net soos die NNP wat 'n klomp slapgatte was verdwyn het!Lank leef die HNP!
Hoe kan 'n polisieman pret hê? Of liewer, hoe kan hulle hul naam totaal
gat maak? In Katutura, Windhoek, gisteraand terwyl 15 polisiemanne aan
diens is, klim drie diewe in by die tweede vloer van die polisiestasie en
steel 'n spul wapens en kontant! As enigiemand nog twyfel dat ons
polisiediens gemors is, hier is die demonstrasie van presies wat bedoel
word!
Maak vandag oop in Galagher Estate - 'n ietwat gedempte partytjie, wat slegs
R61 miljoen sal kos.
Ook maar goed die staat maak gebruik van soveel privaatmaatskappye om diens
te lewer.

Ek sien iets skrams op die TV: 'n Nuwe tegnologie wat gaan maak dat jou
rekenaar se 'cursor' die rigting van jou neus volg? Ek weet duidelik nie
hoe dit gaan werk nie, maar uiteindelik gaan daar 'n voordeel kom vir die
ouens met die lang neuse? Sal graag wil weet hoe dit gaan werk met 'n ou
wie se neus skeefgemoer is op die rugbyveld?
The government and university challenge a will made in 1920
Jeanne Van Der Merwe
In 1920, Scarbrow ordered that his estate be placed in trust and used
to fund scholarships for male matriculants, 'of European descent,
gentile and with limited or no means'
...
The state is launching a legal challenge to a 1920 trust fund that
pays out university scholarships only to white men.
If it succeeds, it could open the way for challenges to other estates
whose restrictions could prove unconstitutional.
The Scarbrow Bursary Fund Testamentary Trust has awarded scholarships
for overseas studies to white, male graduates of the University of
Cape Town since the 1920s.
Now, the national Education Department and the University of Cape Town
(UCT) are seeking an order to change the conditions of the will which
set up the trust. It will be the first time the Constitution is used,
along with more conventional legal routes, to change a will.
In 1920, Edmund Scarbrow ordered that his estate be placed in trust
and used to fund scholarships for male matriculants "of European
descent, gentile and with limited or no means".
In a codicil he added a few months later, he said neither "persons of
Jewish descent" nor "females of all nationalities" would be eligible
for the scholarships.
Scarbrow died in 1921 and the fund has paid out the scholarships
since.
The trust's manager, Lorna Prosser, refused this week to divulge how
much the estate was worth or how often it paid out bursaries.
Former Education Minister Kader Asmal started the legal proceedings
against the trust after it called for applicants in a Cape Town
newspaper in 2002.
He wrote to Syfrets, the trust's administrators, asking that the
provision limiting the scholarships to white males be altered. Syfrets
responded by saying its attorneys had investigated "the legality of
discriminatory clauses in wills under the new Constitution" and found
that the Constitution also protected citizens' freedom to make wills.
Asmal filed the application in the Cape High Court last month.
The registrar of UCT, Hugh Amoore, said: "It is an important test case
because we believe that other bursaries or awards with conditions
which are repugnant to the Constitution could be dealt with in a
similar way if this application succeeds."
This is not the first time Scarbrow's wishes have been found
inappropriate. In 1969, UCT refused to administer the bursaries
because of the "discriminating conditions attaching to [the] awards".
The Master of the High Court said in court papers: "Should the court
grant the application this could have repercussions for various other
existing trusts which are not parties to these proceedings. To date no
case involving charitable or other trust objects has been decided
under the new Constitution or its related legislation."
Professor Johan van Schalkwyk of the University of the Free State's
law faculty said a similar application, against another charitable
trust had succeeded before the new Constitution was adopted.
Peter Jordi, an attorney with Wits University's Law Clinic, said if
the application was successful, it could lead to similar cases being
made against other trusts with restrictive conditions.
"You could use this case to say that either trust deeds for other
similar bursary funds should be changed or that they must be changed
by taking them to court."
