Ja, die wêreld moet met gespitsde ore regopsit en luister!!
Pahad het uit die Uniegebou ge-eis dat Israel internasionale diplomatieke
verteenwoordigers moet toelaat om Ramallah binne te gaan en onmiddelike
toegang na hul kantore moet gegee word.
Pahad het verder verklaar dat as Israel nie onmiddelik 'n wapenstilstand
afkondig nie, gaan daar sanksies teen Israel ingestel word.
Vat hulle Flaffie!!
As Israel nie na die VN, Bush of Blair wil luister nie, dan moet hulle na
Pahad luister:)))

Vandag is dit 350 jaar gelede dat Jan van Riebeeck voet aan wal gesit het -
so SA hou onoffisieel partytjie omdat sy voel sy is nou 350 jaar oud.
Daar word glo 'n feesprogram in Die Tuine aangebied.
In gister se Argus skryf Ken Loots 'n pittige brief om te vertel dat Jan
eintlik 'n Capey was, sodat almal kan saam feesvier vandag.

As ek so die reaksies lees wat Gloudina moet verduur van haar eie volk
dan val my tog op dat baie Afrikaners tog so 'n superioriteitsgevoel
het teenoor hulle swarte landgenote...
Ek vra my hier in Vlaanderen soms af of dit wel geregverdig is.
Waarom voel julle eintlik julle so?
Vandag is National Cleavage Day.
Wat is Afrikaans daarvoor? Nasionale Borsoopmaakdag?:))
Kaapstad gaan nou n modelstad word.
Dit is voortaan onwettig om:
In die openbaar te
piepie
akkies
rond te lê
seks te hê
te bedel
te slaap
wasgoed op te hang.
aan iemand te raak sonder daardie persoon se toestemming
Mense mag ook nie meer goedsmoeds oor die straat stap wanneer en waar hulle
wil nie.
Alles goed en wel - maar ons tronke is alreeds oorvol.:))

In die Engelse koerante word daar gekla oor die swak Engels in berigte.
Dit is seker ook die geval in Afrikaanse koerante.
Al wat my werklik grief is wanneer daar nie suiwer Afrkaans gepraat word
nie, en woorde soos cool, hip, stunning, ens in berigte gebruik word.
Ek voel sterk dat koerante - behalwe om nuus weer te gee, en kunstenaars te
kritiseer ( :)) ) , ook 'n baie belangrike opvoedingstaak het - naamlik om
die taal waarin hulle publiseer so korrek moontlik te gebruik.
Dit is selfs hulle taak om advertensies - nadat dit met die adverteerder
bespreek is, reg te stel .
In gister se Burger 'n advertensie - werk word aangebied - en die laaste
reeltjie is die stukkie wat my grief:
Hyt... ( naam van onderneming) is 'n gelyke geleentheid werkgewer.
Duidelik 'n vertaling - maar dit maak dit nie reg nie.
Hoe dink julle sou die regte Afrikaans gewees het vir daardie laaste
sinnetjie?
Enige persoon bo 21 mag aansoek doen - dit is wat ek sou gesê het.
In die briewekolom vandag - 'n toergids wat by die stadsraad en provinsiale
raadgewer pleit om op te hou met hul hernieude pogings om straatname hier te
verander en die geld te gebruik waar dit werklik nodig is.
Die rede is dat sy glo haar pa na Groote Schuur Hospitaal moes neem - na die
ongevalle afdeling - en sy vertel van die haglike toestande daar, die klein
maar gewillge verpleegpersoneel ( daar is glo meer sekuriteitspersoneel as
verpleegpersoneel in die afdeling) die antieke toerusting, sale wat vir 6
mense bedoel is waar 18 sy aan sy lê ongeag ouderdom of geslag.
Sy onderneem om nie meer met 'n gevoel van trots Groote Schuur uit te wys
aan toeriste wanneer sy hulle rondneem nie - sy is glo te skaam.
Ietwat misplaas - daar is niks verkeerd om die toeriste van die hospitaal se
glorieryke verlede te vertel nie - maar nou weet ek in elk geval hulle beter
die 50 hartpasinete van die UK ver weg van die ongevalle-afdeling hou - want
hulle mag miskien die operasie oorleef, maar definitief nie die toestande in
daardie afdeling nie;)

Dankie TJ - ek het vandag die artikels in Die Burger ook oor die hele
debakel gelees.
Dit was nog steeds 'n suiwer publisiteitsfoefie vir my.
Baie meer mense het nou na hom gaan kyk ( 60% verhoging in kaartjieverkope
na die debakel, alhoewel Steve verklaar dat sy vertoning voor die tyd
uitverkoop was.)
Nou vra ek jou - het daardie 60% meer mense aan die balke gehang ?:)) Glo
nie.
Iets anders - miskien het hy nou meer aanhangers as bakleier - maar hy het
die ondersteuning verloor van die antiektafelstalletjiebrigade:)
