Kan jy so gaaf wees om vir my die inligting te kry ivm met Adams Mission?
Wanneer is dit begin?
Gloudina het dit miskien gegee, maar ek het dit nie gekry nie.
Kan nie iets by die biblioteek kry nie.- sal iemand by die hoofbiblioteek
moet vra - maar miskien wil sy weet of ek Eva is:))
As jy nie die paar myl wil afdraf soontoe nie, bel maar - ek sal vir jou 'n
langtiekie aanstuur:)))
Dankie Krokkie,
Ek het die storie oor die radio gehoor vanoggend - en onmiddelik gewonder -
as dieselfde toets deur dieselfde Amerikaners in Amerika gedoen sou word -
wat die uitslae sou wees?
Ek dink nie veel verskillend nie. - veral nie wat die saameet betref nie:))
Ek meen - ek kyk rolprente hier, so ek weet wat daar aangaan:))

Races do not understand each other in S.Africa: survey
Copyright 2001 by Agence France-Presse (via ClariNet) / Mon, 11 Jun 2001
13:30:10 PDT
CAPE TOWN, June 11 (AFP) - A majority of black South Africans surveyed
believe that whites are racist and untrustworthy and find it hard to imagine
ever being friends with them, according to findings of a poll released on
Monday.
The survey, carried out for the Cape Town-based Institute for Justice and
Reconciliation (IJR), also found that 81 percent of black respondents had
never eaten a meal with a white person.
The poll was aimed at evaluating people's opinions of the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and its effect on South African society.
In their analysis of the findings, researchers James Gibson of Washington
University in Saint Louis, Missouri, and IJR staffer Helen Macdonald said
this "racial isolation" impeded reconciliation.
"Black South Africans do not understand whites, they feel uncomfortable
around them," they said.
"We do not argue that to 'know' one's counterparts is necessarily to 'love'
them ... but it is difficult not to be suspicious of groups with which one
has had little personal contact and experience."
But they also said it was important to put the data into perspective by
imagining what responses might have been a decade ago.
"From the perspective of the vitriolic debates about race that are so
prominent in South Africa today, these data portray substantially more
racial reconciliation than would be expected.
"South Africa is far from being a contented 'rainbow nation', but it is also
a country in which many seem to reject the intense racial animosity of the
past."
The survey, based on 3,727 interviews, found that fewer than a quarter of
blacks said they understood the customs and ways of whites. Roughly half of
the whites, coloured (mixed-race) and Asians asserted they did not
understand blacks.
Fifty-six percent of black South Africans believed whites were
untrustworthy, while a third of whites believed the same of blacks.
Just over half the blacks found it hard to imagine ever being friends with a
white person. For whites, the figure was 19 percent.
But Gibson and Macdonald said the survey showed most South Africans were
hopeful about their future.
"Important issues face the country, and many of these issues divide South
Africa by race. But at the end of the day, most seem committed to a
multi-racial South Africa, and many hold attitudes compatible with a
harmonious future for the country. Few would have predicted such findings a
decade ago," they said.
They found "vast racial differences" in how people evaluated the TRC, which
gave amnesties for political crimes.
While 76 percent of black South Africans approved of the work of the body,
only 37 percent of whites supported it.
Most South Africans of all races agreed that apartheid as practised in South
Africa was a crime against humanity.
However, half of the white respondents, and a "somewhat surprising" 36
percent of blacks, believed that though there had been abuses, the ideas
behind apartheid were "basically good".
"This most likely means that the 'separate development' aspects of apartheid
are endorsed, rather than the idea that a racial hierarchy is acceptable,"
said the authors.
Wat's die nuutse skinderstorie hier op die NG?
Wie het vir reisger geblok toe hy wegkruipertjie wou speel en niemand wou
saamspeel nie?
En wat het Gloudina gesê oor die algemene toestand van die onderwys by die
suidpool toe die pikkewyne ewe skielik begin aandring om in hul moedertaal
(Linux) onderrig te word?
Wat is Wouter plaasvark se gunsteling modderpoel? en hoe maak hy die pap dik
aan?
Thys met sy tong in die kies en skinder stories in die nuus!
Reisiger het nou hi-tech geword, en saai in twee tale uit (ongelukkig na

Ons inflasie (bo 6%) is nog hoër as by julle (onder 3%). Dis die
belangrikste rede hoekom ons rentekoerse hoër is. Maar daar is 'n sekondêre
rede, ons reële rentekoerse word hoog gehou om die inflasie verder af te
kry. Die hoë rentekoerse onderdruk die mense se leningsvermoë en hulle
vermoë om te koop en daardeur vraag vir produkte skep en dit help om die
Rand sterker te hou as wat dit anders sou gewees het. Dit verminder ook die
inflasiekoers.
Ons is nie 'n eerstewêreldland nie en wel nog erg bekommerd oor inflasie.

As ek reg onthou, is julle rentekoerse in SA nog taamlik
hoog in vergelyking met wat ons s'n is. Hoekom sal dit
wees?
Ons rentekoerse is die laagste wat dit nog was vir omtrent
twee dekades.
Ek wonder wanner laas die ou tannie Gloudina nou juis in SA was, en hoekom
sy uit SA weg is, hou sy dalk nie van die swart omies en tannies nie. En is
daar daar 'n ander engelse woord vir die mooi woord "aparthide" wat daar
gebruik word om na SA te verwys. Wel in daai ander oom se woorde "Ou tannies
of die meeste van hulle pis my af". - Koos Kombuis (Ou Tannies) Ek sal dit
waardeur as iemand die volle lirieke hier sal plaas. Sy gaan nou weer seker
geeerd voel dat iemand soos ek nou ook niks anders het om oor te dink nie.
Sulke dinge gebeur net as ek my brein vir 5 sekondes op iets anders laat
probeer konsentreer.
Ek het al gewonder as sy dan klink soos 'n groot apartheid vegter, hoekom
het sy nie al jare terug die struggle gejoin nie. Of wou jou ma -hulle jou
net nie toe-laat.

Fatal Exception
(Die wit man wat nou eers struggle om weer bo uit te kom.)
(For some the struggle ended in 1993, for some it started, some even got
startled so they departed. - The Fatal Exception has occurred )
Wil graag die Regering van ons Paradys, en elders op die Planeet, insluitend
Individue, Organisasies, en Regerings, wat deel neem aan die Afrika Renaissance,
en veral die ANC gelukwens vir die super sukses wat bereik is sover, asook vir
die toekoms. Veral vir die volgende: Deursettingsvermoë en vasberadenheid. Die
menige inisiatiewe geneem deur President Thabo Mbeki, Staatsdepartemente en die
Private Sektor, ten bate van miv+/vigs navorsing in ons Paradys, en elders op
die Planeet. Holistiese benadering vir die rol van die immuun stelsel, aangaande
'n geneesmiddel vir miv+/vigs. Miv+/vigs advertensie veldtog. Verskaffing van
miv+/vigs medisyne. Algemeen beskou as die beste benadering om miv+/vigs te
bestry, soos hierbo vermeld. Voordelige multi-kulturele ondersteuning
inisiatiewe. Insluitend die menige bydraes wat gelewer word aan die Afrika en
Suid Afrika Renaissance. En om die Regering van ons Paradys, en elders op die
Planeet, te ondersteun om hulle doelwitte te bereik. Vir die Persone van ons
Paradys, die Afrika Kontinent, en elders op die Planeet. En nog baie meer. By
voorbaat baie dankie. Dit word inniglik waardeer.
'n Saak wat na aan die hart raak, is om die vrede en voorspoed van die Persone
van ons Paradys, en elders op die Planeet, asemrowend te verhoog.
Behou geloof, hoop en liefde. Onthou die oomblik het aangebreek om eksponensieel
ondersteuning te verkry. Verstaan enige advies hier word gegee in die gees van
Vryheid van Keuse. Enige persoon het die reg om dit te gebruik net soos dit is,
en / of te verander na vrye wil.
Wil graag voorstel om Planetêre ontmoetings te verhoog, met Regerings
organisasies, asook ondersteunende organisasies, en die Media. Om die berekening
te verhoog van die presiese dag/datum en/of week, waar van toepassing, vir die
groen lig wat hier aangevra word te verskyn, indien enigsins moontlik. Om
verkieslik deur die daaglikse Media in gekodeerde vorm gegee te word. Om meer
effektiewe beplanning van tyd asook bydraes te verhoog op die persoonlike vlak.
By voorbaat baie dankie. Dit sal inniglik waardeer word.
Dit kan President Thabo Mbeki geweldig ondersteun. Veral wanneer President Mbeki
die Suid Afrika, en veral die Afrika Renaissance 'n kwantum sprong vorentoe
neem, omtrent Junie 2000 en/of net daarna. President Mbeki kan suksesse behaal
in die Suid Afrika Renaissance herhaal vir menige Lande wat aan die Afrika
Renaissance deelneem. En dit die sukses maak wat dit verdien om te wees. 'n
Ekonomiese bloei tydperk kan verwag word. Nadat gereedheid bereik is in die
verband deur die aanwys van 'n groen lig te lewer, soos aangevra. Ten voordeel
van alle betrokke partye.
Na die aanwys van die groen lig:
Kyk na die asemrowende resultate - bo alle verwagtinge:
Meer effektiewe ondersteuning om die suksesse van die Afrika en Suid Afrika
Renaissancis te verhoog, kan asemrowend verhoog word.
Meer effektiewe ondersteuning aan beleid reëls van die ANC kan asemrowend
verhoog word.
Meer ondersteunende verhoudinge kan asemrowend verhoog word.
Ekonomieë, en potensiële ekonomieë kan asemrowend verhoog word.
Vrede en voorspoed kan asemrowend verhoog word.
Gemeenskaplike belange kan alle partye geweldig bevoordeel.
Die Afrika en Suid Afrika Renaissance kan 'n kwantum sprong vorentoe neem.
Die Planetêre Renaissance kan 'n kwantum sprong vorentoe neem.
En 'n beter lewe kan vir almal geskep word.
Eendrag maak mag. Persone wat mekaar ondersteun, oorleef saam in 'n beter
wêreld. Hierdie is die poging om 'n pad te skep na die 22e Eeu d.m.v. grootheid,
goedheid en grasie. Love all Serve all.
Hoop dit help. Saam vir 'n beter toekoms. Een vir almal en Almal vir een. Word
'n magiese Persoon en help om 'n Paradys en Planeet te skep waar almal gelukkig
is en bevry is van pyn en leiding.
Presteer Voluit om die Verstand, Vlees en Voorspoed van die Persone van ons
Paradys, en elders op die Planeet, met Prag en Praal, Passie, asook Profytvol
Vorentoe, sodat hulle na hulle Prys, hulle Piek, kan Peil.
Ns. Indien enige sissende slange aan enigiemand hier geuiter word, is dit a.g.v.
'n blinke kol in die logika, wat reggestel sal word wanneer dit raakgesien is.
Apologie word nou al aangeteken daarvoor. Vergewe asb.
('n Bydrae aangaande miv+/vigs is ook in die pyplyn. Om gelewer te word nadat
navorsing in die verband voltooi is.)
