Wie's die groot beroerder onder die volk
wie's die een wat roer en roer en sukkel
met almal hier 'n storie te spin
wat altyd 'n woord inkry
en soms meer as net woord
soms sommer met venyn
altyd agterpotig orent te beur
oor als 'n stuiwer het
om in te gooi?
Zuid-Afrikaanse honden in blanke wijken grommen alleen
naar zwarten. Kwestie van training? Of zit het in hun genen?
Apartheid is voor honden nog niet voorbij.
De boerbul is een creatie van het apartheidsregime, dat behalve
racistische honden ook biologische en chemische
wapenprogramma's ontwikkelde om de zwarte bevolking uit te
roeien. In de jaren tachtig adverteerde de
rechts-extremistische Herstigte Nasionale Party naar
hartelust met de boerbul onder de slogan ,,racistische
waakhonden speciaal gefokt voor Zuid-Afrikaanse
omstandigheden''.
wat is fout met ons suid afrikanerkies? ons is die enigste nasie (en
ek was al in baieee lande) wat ek al tee gekom het wat dink dat die
verskaffer vir jou, die klient, `n guns doen as hy iets aan jou smous.
en laat jy nou net kla oor swak diens dan is jy die ongeskikste,
laagste slym wat daar is want hierdie mense probeer maar net `n lewe
maak. dit geld natuurlik van die eenman saak tot die groot corporates.
kliente diens in suid afrika is volgens my `n mite waarvan ons kinders
dalk net in storie boeke sal lees. ek persoonlik dink natuurlik dat
hierdie probleem ontstaan het as gevolg van die houding van blanke
afrikaners. ons weet maar net eenvoudig nie hoe om saam te staan nie.
weet goeters soos boikot. ons sit almal en kla bymekaar oor die swak
diens van x en y maar is nie bereid om bietjie verder na z toe te ry
nie. nie blanke suid afrikaners staan altyd saam as dit belangrik
word. tussen in donner hulle mekaar wel ja maar as dit saak maak dan
dans hulle. kom ons wat die m-web ding nou as `n voorbeeld. as almal
wat hulle dienste gebruik kanseleer sit hulle in die k@k. sulke mense
is nie tevrede met `n 15% margin nie, hulle wil 100% plus he en almal
val daarvoor. hoekom moet jy 15-30 minute na toilet musiek luister
voordat sekere instansies se kliente diens jou help. as jy mos nie
iemand kan help binne `n redelike tyd nie kry meer mense om te help.
en ja ek het my gat afgesukkel met multichoice die afgelope week.
net `n gedagte. use it, don't use it, whatever.

Streepmuis sê: "jy loop op DUN ys ou maat...." dis al wat sy sê...:-)
Oor die veldmuis - ja, dis tyd dat hy my vergewe en terugkom. Bel hom

hom af te lewer? :-))
Moet sê, ek was redelik ontsteld toe ek die storie op hierdie nuusgroep

al van hierdie nonsens gehoor. Het egter nie gedink dit sal so vinnig
toegepas word nie.

Toe sit ek skielik en wonder of Engelse sout dan Epsom salt is, en
waarom dit dan Engelse sout genoem word. Miskien weet julle almal,
maar ek het nie geweet nie, en net miskien sou iemand anders dalk ook
belangstel, so...:-)
Epsom salts is the name originally given to hydrated magnesium
sulphate, MgSO4.7H20
Millions of people all over the world have asked for Epsom salts, and
used it with recognisable effect, without knowing anything about
Epsom.
The name was first used, as far as is known, by Nehemiah Grew in 1695.
He lists other wells around London, including Barnet, Acton, Dulwich
and Streatham, where the water was of the same nature as Epsom. He was
granted a Royal patent for "The Way of Makeing the Salt of the Purging
Waters perfectly fine...very cheape". But though Epsom gave its name
to the water, the quantities available from the Epsom wells were
relatively small.
The reasons for the efficacious action of Epsom salts were not known
until a long time after its discovery, and magnesium as an element was
not discovered until nearly a century later. Medical knowledge was, of
course, very much less at that time, so there was correspondingly more
scope for waters becoming known for their curative powers. People
travelled long distances in the hope that they would be cured of their
ills. Some mineral waters were supposed to cure almost everything one
can imagine, and, whatever one's ailment, a cure for it could be
bought from the chemist.
The first record of the Epsom Well, though it was already famous then,
is in an account of 1629 by 2 Dutch diplomats who set out from London
on horseback "to see some Royal Castles and Ipson Wells".
(incidentally, this account was first published in Holland in 1942!).
Lord North, in 1637, claims to have been the first to have told the
King's people of the use of Tonbridge and Epsom waters for health and
cure, and added that it was a lot cheaper than travelling to Spa on
the Continent.
Another Dutchman, William Schellinks, did the only early drawing of
the well in 1662. "The practice of the drinking of the water is early
in the morning...it is drunk on an empty stomach from mugs holding one
pint....some drink (up to) sixteen pints in one journey. And one must
then go for a walk, works extraordinarily excellent, with various
funny results.........putting down sentinels in the shrub in every
direction....in hot and dry summers the water....has more
strength.....people come in such large crowds that the village which
is fairly large and spread at least 300 beds is still too small...
Pepys visited Epsom in 1663, and had to find lodging in Ashstead "in a
little hole we could not stand upright in" The next day, he came to
well and finds a "great store of citizen there, though some of better
quality" He drinks two pots and is amused to see "how everyone turns
up his tail....in a bush". He comes again in 1667, arriving at 8 on a
Sunday morning, drinks 4 pints and reports good results, though his
companions did not.
A full history of the Wells, from which the above extracts are taken,
is given in "Epsom Wells - A new history of Epsom Wells and Epsom
Salts" written by Maurice Exwood FIEE FRHistS and published by the
Epsom and Ewell borough council. It contains a print of Schellinks'
drawing and other illustrations.
A born-again Executive Outcomes operation is at the centre of
allegations of a military contract between ex-South African Defence
Force soldiers and the Sudanese army. A former director of EO told
Africa Confidential that the contract was widely known in 'military
circles' in South Africa and involved training Sudanese special forces
officers in counter-insurgency operations to guard the oil fields. He
described the firm involved as 'the rump' of EO. 'Those of us in the
company who made enough money are out of it, those who didn't are still
in the game,' he added. EO was formally wound up in December 1998.
We hear South African security has established a link between a local
company known as NFD and the Sudan contract. Military sources say this
was signed this March after six months of negotiation with the Khartoum
government. It's modeled on similar work undertaken for Libyan state
security in late 1999, which recommended the South African company to
Khartoum. The Libyan project involved using helicopters with infra-red
cameras on 'search and destroy' operations. Some equipment used in the
contract was obtained from Kentron, a subsidiary of South Africa's Denel
defence company. Other elements in the contract included training in
infiltrating rebel bases and intelligence gathering. Some 20 former SA
soldiers are involved.
NFD's directors include Duncan Rykaart (ex- colonel in the SA Defence
Force's Five Recce Brigade), Frederik Christoffel Grove (ex-deputy
commander of SA's paratroopers) and Nick van den Berg, described as a
sleeping partner. All worked at senior level in EO; NFD has bought EO's
former premises at 13 Gouws Avenue, Raslouw, north of Johannesburg.
NFD Operations Manager Rykaart denies any knowledge of the Sudan
contract, though SA military sources pinpoint him as taking the lead
role in the negotiations with Khartoum. 'Someone has been masquerading,
misusing our company name to get work,' Rykaart told Africa
Confidential. 'This happened a lot with Executive Outcomes in the old
days'. Rykaart insists his company has no foreign security contracts
currently, although the NFD website boasts a client base in Egypt,
Congo-Brazzaville, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Angola and Bulgaria.
All South African security companies working overseas have to register
and meet the terms of the Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act,
which was passed after controversy about EO's Angolan contracts. Another
EO ex-Director claimed the Act's provisions were so broad that most
operators couldn't be prosecuted.
Revelations that a South African company is training Sudanese soldiers
will embarrass Pretoria's Department of Foreign Affairs. When SA's
Soecor wanted to bid for contracts in Sudan's oil sector, they were
stopped by Foreign Minister Nkosazana Zuma, who feared compromising
Pretoria's role in any peace negotiations between the Sudanese regime
and its opponents.
Vanoggend 16:30 na die krieket op die skotteljons probeer kyk .. Grote griet
daar is onse Ngconde Balfour besig om sy sê te sê oor krieket. So tussen die
kots deur moes ek lag.
Ek wens regtig die Xhosa Nostra wil 'n Minister van Sport kry wat lyk na ene
... Wat 'n walglap...
Ek glo 'n Minister van Vigs-aangeleenthede sou meer van pas gewees het -
Ngconde Balfour sou goed in daardie rol kon pas - dis duidelik dat hy nie
die gevreesde virus het nie ...
