Kan iemand miskien vir my vertel waarom sommige inwoners van Suid
Afrika hul voorste 4 tande laat uithaal? Ek weet van die wolhaar
stories dat van die vrouens dan 'n lekkerder ....job kan gee, maar wat
dan nou man die mans? ;-)
Verbaas my altyd.
Vandag terwyl ek BTW werk doen:
1) Trentyre is nou deel van Masterparts.
2) Midas, Quay en TMS saam staan nou bekend as Parts.

DFM soos hulle in die handel en wandel bekend is, het gereageer.
Blykbaar, as hulle gedwing word, gaan hulle hul naam verander na:
Kader Asmal Kollege en as KAK bekend staan:)))

lol... ek het daaroor gedink toe ek gesubmit het. Vla gaan mos nie
alleen nie vroumens! En jy weet dat jy die bykomstigheid is, maar ek
was besig om Emmy aan te vat oor haar vieslike houding met Annette.
Ek is in my kantoor nou en jy het dit huistoe gestuur - in die vorige
millenium het ek my huispos ook hierheen laat kom tot ek gesien het
dat ek groot werk het om kantoorpos alleen te hanteer. Praat vannaand
met jou.
Ek gaan julle ouens 'n paar dae verlaat. Die kinders se skool maak Vrydag
toe en ek het 'n breek nodig. Ek hoop as ek terugkom is die burgeroorloë
verby. Ek los julle met die een. Ek het die laaste twee weke met verskeie
oud-onderwysers en oud-skoolhoofde van albei kante van die politieke en
velkleur spektrum persoonlik, van aangesig tot aangesig, gepraat.
Interressante dinge wat gesê word oor Dina Rijkheer. My ouers het my beter
geleer as om op bejaardes te trap. Ek kan maar net hoop dat sy rus vir haar
siel kry voordat sy eendag haar kop neerlê.
Hoog tyd dat ons dinge noem soos wat dit is, en nie agter mooi woordjies
wegkruip nie.
Van wanneer af is swak dissipline die woord(e) vir vuil spel?
Van wanneer af word gesonde kritiek as persoonlike aanvalle beskou?

In beide Die Rapport en Sunday Times vanoggend - maar ek verkies die
uit-die-perd-se -bek weergawe van die Engelse koerant:
Antie Winnie kom met die volgende waarheid vorendag: "You have no idea how
it pains me when I go to the squatter camps and I find them worse than they
were when I told them to vote ANC and vote for a better life."
Maar dan raak sy regtig kwaad en verder haak 'n bietjie uit:
Antie Winnie pak toe uit teen die ANC op TV gisteraand en die gevolg in die
koerant vanoggend:
ANC leaders played down Midikizela-Mandela's attack.
Kgalema Motlanthe, secretary-general of the ANC, said:"I don't have any
comment bacause Winnie has her own opinions which we respect:"
But last night a defiant Madikizela-Mandela said:" I am the African
National Congress, you just ask anyone. You just ask anyone to challenge me
on that. I am the African National Congress."
Davie, die ander dag is jy aangeval oor `n brief wat min of meer oor
dieselfde onderwerp gegaan het.
Wonder nou maar net wat hiervan gesê gaan word, of ook maar weer seker een
wat ek sommer saamgestel het.
'Apartheid was better than this'
CHRIS MCGREAL, Johannesburg | Friday
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------
----
HENRIETTA Mqokomiso knew what was coming. Alexandra township council served
the demolition order a week ago and branded her house with three yellow
crosses.
On Monday, while the domestic worker was working, an official banged on the
door and told her children that a crew would be around the next day to pull
down their home.
At dawn on Tuesday Mqokomiso (50) said she could not believe that the
government that liberated her from apartheid would destroy her home of 12
years and dump her on a piece of barren land. That was too much like the
days of forced removals.
But several hours later her house stood in ruins and she was left miles away
with nothing more than a few pieces of corrugated iron and told to build a
new home.
"This is the worst day of my life," she said. "I don't mind moving, but they
must give me another house. That is what is driving my head crazy - to go to
a shack. We're going to use paraffin in a shack and I've got electricity in
my house. I've got water and a toilet. I won't have that in a shack.
"Apartheid was better than this."
In recent months thousands of people have seen their homes demolished in
Alexandra, Johannesburg's oldest township. At first the government targeted
squatters and justified the destruction as a life-saving measure to remove
shacks from the banks of the Jukskei river after it tested positive for
cholera.
But there were no cases of the disease, and the authorities are now
condemning ordinary, well-built but technically illegal homes such as
Mqokomiso's. They say it is part of a project to upgrade the township.
Mqokomiso built her house in 1988, during the apartheid years when it was
almost impossible to obtain permission to build legally.
Over the years her yellow house swelled from its original one room to four.
The bathroom was brought inside. Running water, a prepaid electricity meter
and a phone were added.
"I built this house. I built it with my money and they are coming today to
break this house and not give me anything. Where do they expect us to live?
Outside? In the street?"
At 7.40am the wreckers' lorries and bulldozer arrived. The demolition crews
are widely scorned as the Red Ants for their bright boiler suits. Most carry
crowbars. Some have shields. A few wield pump-action shotguns after violence
against earlier removals.
With military-style precision they sealed off both ends of the street. The
Red Ants descended on the first house. They are well practised, and what
differences there are with apartheid's forced removals are apparent. They
generally speak kindly to the occupants and carefully lift their belongings
into the street and on to the lorry.
The wrecking crew swarms over the roof, lifting the corrugated iron. The men
break the walls around the windows and lever out the frames without so much
as cracking the glass. All of this will go with the owners to wherever they
are sent. And then the bulldozer moves in and pounds the house to nothing.
While Mqokomiso awaits her turn, she agonises over where she will be sent.
Her best hope is Extension 7 on the other side of Alexandra. Not only is it
close by, but there is a fair chance of getting a new house in the coming
months.
What Mqokomiso most fears is ending up in Diepsloot, a new township and
squatter camp 40km from Alexandra. She has never been there but has heard
the stories of overcrowding, waterlogged land and no basic services.
Mqokomiso grabs the first official to pass her door. Does he know where
she's going? Extension 7, he replies.
But later the sheriff says she is not on the list for anywhere, which means
she automatically ends up in Diepsloot. Mqokomiso cannot believe it. The
sheriff is wearily sympathetic.
"I'm sorry my darling. There's nothing I can do," he says.
Diepsloot, Mqokomiso says, will be a disaster. It is miles from her job and
she cares for two teenage nieces and an eight-year-old grandchild. They will
have to be pulled out of their schools because the bus fares alone from
Diepsloot would eat up most of her R1 300 a month pay.
It is 11am before the Red Ants get around to Mqokomiso's home. By then all
her belongings are piled into two dozen rubbish bags in the street, with the
television on top of the microwave kept under careful watch.
Mqokomiso watches much of her home destroyed but does not care to stay for
the bulldozer's work. Her belongings fill half a lorry which takes an hour
to grind its way to Diepsloot before pulling to a halt on a crowded muddy
street pinned in with shacks on either side.
She was led between the shacks to a tiny patch of empty land - no more than
20 square metres - and told that this was her new home. The council provided
nine poles and 10 pieces of corrugated iron for her to build a shack.
"It's worse than I thought. There's no water, there's not even a toilet.
There's not enough room to fit in all my things. Look at this soil. It's
wet. It'll be flooded in the rains," she said.
After protests, she is led to another, larger patch of ground. This one at
least has a raised concrete base. The existing residents gather around and
say she is not welcome.
Mqokomiso wants to flee but she cannot abandon her belongings.
"For this we blame the [African National Congres]. They were supposed to
build the houses first and then move us. How could they move us with no
houses?" she asks.
But there are more pressing concerns. "We have to start to build now. We
need somewhere to sleep tonight and it's going to be cold."
Ek het nou wel gister R10 verloor omdat die Franse nie wou wen nie.
Maar ek dink ek is nie ver verkeerd as ek die stelling sou maak dat dit die
swakste internasionale wedstryd hierdie jaar was nie.
