Ons het die selle storie hier as 'n riemtelegram gekry.
Telkom se engelse persverklaring is as volg
(Gloudina, moet dit tog nie lees want dis in engels):
Belangrike Kennisgewing: Telkom kostes (10-Okt-2002)
Telkom Persverklaring:
"9 October 2002
No extra costs for not using 10-digit dialing
Telkom has reassured its customers that no extra costs are levied for
either using or not using the 10-digit dialing system for calls within local
exchange areas.
This follows an influx of queries in this regard, mainly stemming from
damaging and false-mail messages that are being sent and forwarded between
local companies and individuals.
The latest rumour is that Telkom is charging an additional 77 or 75
cents per call if a person phones a landline call without using the area
code first.
''This is totally incorrect," said Telkom's Managing Executive for
Consumer Sales and Marketing Thami Magazi. ''A local call is any call within
a 50 kilometer radius and the call charge is the same regardless of whether
the user has dialed the area prefix or not."
The planned introduction of 10-digit dialing for fixed-line
telecommunications users by the Independent Communications Authority of
South Africa (ICASA) has fuelled a number of urban myths regarding its cost
and the timing of its introduction.
Magazi explained that Telkom was running the 10-digit dialing system
in parallel to the seven-digit dialing system, following an announcement by
ICASA in April 2002 that the implementation of the 10-digit dialing system
would be postponed for six months after regulations had been promulgated.
"Only once the regulations have been promulgated will we have a firm
date for the implementation of 10-digit dialing. Until then, Telkom will
continue to run both systems in parallel so our customers can become
accustomed to dialing the three-digit prefix ahead of the seven-digit number
for all local calls to fixed-line numbers," said Magazi. He reiterated that
no additional charges are levied for using or not using the three-digit
prefix.
The national 10-digit dialing system is part of ICASA's numbering
plan, and once implemented, it will increase number capacity especially in
the metropolitan areas and bring fixed-line dialing in line with the
10-digit standard used by mobile operators. "
So dis die prentjie: Niemand weet nog regtig van wanneer af dit sal
geld nie!
Noudat die oorlopery gedoen is, het Frank Kahn - die openbare vervolger -
die saak teen Pietertjie Marais oor sy vriendelikheid met die dames
teruggetrek.
Vir ons gewone mense is dit 'n eienaardige spul, want gewoonlik is dit die
mense wat die saak aanhangig maak mos die wat 'n saak wil terugtrek of te
not.
Dit was nie slegs een dame wat 'n saak gemaak het nie- maar nou skielik het
hulle almal besluit hulle was onder die verkeerde indruk?
Strooisage.
Miskien is dit tyd dat die pos van openbare vervolger deur 'n vrou gevul
moet word.
In die ou dae sou ons vandag 'n vakansiedag gehad het, waarop die Groot Stap
van Simonstad na Die Parade sou plaasgevind het.
Nou nie dat ek 'n vakansiedag mis nie, ons het al klaar hopeloos te veel van
die goed - maar mens kan nie 'n Groot Stap doen op Sondag wanneer mens langs
die see "moet" wees nie;)

Ja, ek stem saam met die konsep dat alles in siklusse gebeur, en ja -
die geraas van ons "warmongering" president se dromme raak harder en
meer oorverdowend by die dag.
Weet iemand wat aangaan daar?
Hoor vandag dat die groot tak by KanaalStap toe is en dat 3 kleiner takke
daar later oopgemaak gaan word.
Ook dat die twee klein takke op Kaapstadstasie oorgeneem is deur die mense
wat met lughawens te doen het.

How Did We Survive?
Hoe het ons Oorleef?
------------------
Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have.
Dit is moeilik om te glo ons kon oorleef so lank as wat ons het.
As children we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Toe ons kinders was, het ons in motors gery sonder enige veiligheidsgodels
of lugsakke
Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special
treat.
Om agterop 'n bakkie te ry was nogal 'n ekstra spesiale lekker ding om te
doen.
Our baby cribs were painted with bright colored lead based paint. We often
chewed on the crib, ingesting the paint.
Ons kotte was gewoonlik helder geverf - verf wat lood in gehad het. Ons
almal het lekker aan daardie geverfde sparre gekou met tandekrytyd.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when
we rode our bikes we had no helmets.
Ons het grootgeword sonder spesiale proppe op medisynebottels.
kinderbastande deure en kabinette en ons het fiets gery sonder enige
kopbedekking
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
Ons het water gedrink uit die kraan buite of die tuinslang - water in 'n
bottel was ongehoord.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the
bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.
Ons kon kru karre bou sonder brieke, en het gou geleer hoe om die kar betyds
tot stilstand te bring.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day.
Ons kon heeldag buite speel waar ookal, sonder 'n selfoon of beeper waar
uitgevind kon word waar ons presies is.
Solank ons sononder tuis was, was alles reg.
We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt.
Ek weet nie van die een nie - wie wil nou deur 'n bal rakgeskop word?
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda, but we were never
over weight; we were always outside playing.
Ons het koek geëet, brood en botter met konjem of stroop en
grondboontjiebotter op. Daar was baie min oorgewig kinders, en ons het altyd
buite gespeel.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Ons het almal geweet dat nie almal die eerste span kon haal nie, en dit
aanvaar.
Some students weren't as smart as others or didn't work hard so they failed
a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. That generation
produced some of the greatest risk-takers and problem solvers.
As mens nie 'n jaar op skool kon slaag nie, is algemeen aanvaar dat die jaar
oorgedoen moet word. Ons generasie kan spog met baie ondernemende mense.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to
deal with it all.
Ons het vryheid, teleurstelling, sukses en verantwoordelikheid beleef, en
geleer hoe om dit te hanteer.
Ons koor sing Vrydagaand in Stellenbosch - Endlersaal - konsert begin om
8nm - ons sing John Rutter, Pregiera uit Maria Stuardo en Verdi.
Kaartjies kos R15.
