In loving memory and honour of Dr Nigel Harrison

We invite all that knew him, friends, patients, th acquaintances to join us on his birthday 5 March to "plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit"

Those that knew Harry well knew he was not one for crowds or excess, he was known for his overflowing heart, his integrity, his presence, his kindness, his grace, his love and compassion for anyone and everyone that needed it.

We ask that on his birthday you join us in living his legacy and being the change you wish to see in the world, there will be no large service or formalities, instead we ask you to remember and honour Harry in a way that resonates with you, a good deed, a positive change.

th

A butterfly effect that will help to change the world for the better, so on the 5 we invite you to take a moment, to be here fully, to reflect on the qualities we loved in Harry and allow them to continue to be a gift to this world through those left behind.

We sincerely thank those of you that join us on this day and would love to hear how you will "plant a tree under whose shade you do not expect to sit"

For those of you that are open to sharing your contribution we have set up an email and would love to hear how you choose to honour and live out his legacy.

Please share pictures, thoughts and reflections to the email below for Harry's family to cherish for many years. info@backtoroots.co.za

Thank you for being part of a very unordinary request to honour a truly extraordinary man.

With much appreciation & love - Sonja, Patrick, Adéle, Mila-Rae & Marley .

PUTTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

27 February 2024, Knysna. Grey Elephant Investments (GEI) wishes to address harmful claims concerning our rates accounts and clarify misconceptions regarding our lease agreement with Knysna Municipality.

GEI underscores that there is no unlawful debt owed to the Knysna Municipality, and there was no extraordinary debt write-off. Assertions to the contrary are electioneering misinformation and defamatory.

PAIA request outcomes evidenced that GEI was being billed incorrectly and differently to comparable businesses.

GEI followed the Knysna Municipality prescribed formal dispute process concluding in GEI’s accounts being reviewed and corrected to remedy over charges of approximately R400 000,00 per month which we had disputed since 2019.

With the unfortunate turnover of municipal managers and CFOs this process was delayed for years.

In October 2022 GEI succeeded in a High Court interdict application against Knysna Municipality to force them to act in terms of their policy

Subsequently GEI’s proposed settlement of the rates dispute was unanimously agreed by Knysna Municipality’s Council on 31 July 2023.

Thereon followed an internal due diligence review of the corrections and proper basis for future billing. This review concluded successfully in November 2023 with the valued impartial and expert assistance of a representative on secondment from National Treasury

The rates dispute concerned rectifying errors. A write-off of a portion of the arrears was applied only after this, to the corrected amount, and again expressly in accordance with the applicable by-law and policies.

Notably, the portion written off is consistent with and in most cases less than the proportions and absolute amounts written off for other ratepayers.

GEI followed all lawful processes, and we look forward to receiving the corrected statements and new accounts for payment.

Regarding the lease: on 12 December 2023 GEI entered into a three-year lease agreement with Knysna Municipality for new offices and client service space at Knysna Mall pursuant to their Council’s resolution on 26 October 2023.

We assure all concerned stakeholders that the lease agreement was awarded through lawful and transparent processes. The lease agreement and settlement of the rates dispute are not connected or related in any way

The new lease entails substantial benefits and savings for the Knysna Municipality and its ratepayers such as:

• Load shedding proof 3,250m² Grade-A, new custom fit-out, fit-for-purpose offices and client service space.

• The rental is R 546 000,00 per month, R168/m², inclusive of cleaning and security services and external and lifts maintenance.

• According to figures provided by Knysna Municipality, their monthly rent will decrease by approximately 43% vis-à-vis the smaller 2,911m², load-shedding exposed expired leases which averaged approximately R240/m², excluding additional charges imposed for services GEI provides inclusive. This represents a multi-million Rand saving over the three-year term of the lease.

• Improved access for ratepayers stands to enhance revenue collection and further benefits from housing formerly disparate municipal departments under one roof will yield improved efficiency and service.

We value the trust placed in us by the Knysna community and remain steadfast in our dedication to building a stronger, more prosperous Knysna for all.

We urge Knysnarians to exercise discernment and rather let us work together positively with facts and not gossip and rumour that is damaging our unique and wonderful town.

Leap Day on Thursday!

All those women who have grown bored of waing for a marriage proposal may propose to a man on Leap Day, February 29th.

Ha ha, sounds so old fashioned nowadays, but for centuries women had to sit around and wait to be asked.

Where did this custom come from? Hard to say, because websites simply repeat each other, but most say it began as an Irish tradion in the 5th century aer Saint Bridget complained to Saint Patrick about women not being allowed to propose to a man. Saint Patrick designated February 29th as the day when they could. Sly of him, given that Leap Days happen only every four years.

There is also a tale that in 1288 Queen Margaret of Scotland passed a law that any man who turned down a marriage proposal on Leap Day would have to provide the woman with a silk gown.

And in Finland, a man who turned down a proposal had to buy the woman 12 pairs of gloves.

Mmm. Sounds like a good way to boost one’s wardrobe.

There are plenty of supersons about Leap Year. The Greeks believed Leap Year marriages would end in divorce.

Scosh farmers had a saying: “Leap Year is never a good sheep year”, while Germans said Leap Years would be cold years.

In Taiwan the superson is that elderly parents are more likely to die in Leap Years, so married daughters are expected to return home to look aer their aged parents for the year – and bring a dish of noodles and pig troers, believed to prolong longevity. Sounds horrible.

So why do we get an extra day every four years?

Because the Earth takes longer than 365 days to orbit the sun: it takes 365 and a quarter. We discount this quarter of a day, but we cannot do that forever. If we did, within a few 100 years the missing quarters would add up to months. Imagine. Instead of having Christmas in summer we would have it in mid-winter –while the people in the northern hemisphere would have Christmas in summer

So every four years those quarter days are added up to give us an extra day in our calendar – February 29th - making that year a Leap year with 366 days instead of 365.

This quarter day every year occurs because the Earth’s orbit around the Sun is not perfectly aligned with its rotaon on its axis.

I was intrigued to learn that most other planets in our solar system also have Leap Years.

The Mars year is taken as 668 days, but it is actually 668.6 days. So if you were on Mars, you would also have to add a day every few years for the calendar to catch up. But Marans would have a Leap Year more oen – six in a decade.

So this Thursday is an extra day, a bonus. Hope you do something special.

I smiled at US author Jarod Kintz’s Leap Day acvity. He jumps. “It’s a good way to get my daily exercise every four years.”

Heart thoughts about Harry … I shall always remember him for his well worn quirky shirts … his spontaneous generosity and enthusiasm … his gentle, knowledgeable banter and chatter his humour … the way that his patients spoke about him … people adored him for his professional dentistry skills and gentle treatment and fairness in affordability … a well respected, well loved human being … he will be remembered with fondness … Harry has left a footprint of Faith and Hope and Love … and I would be so proud to call him husband, dad, papa and friend.

RIP, beautiful Soul. From a friend...
