Needy boys and girls - Strengthening their self-esteem and human dignity instead of making them feel like welfare cases

❑ Corné van Noordwyk ERMELO: The 'Ebenezer Seuns' is a community project that aims to assist needy boys. They celebrated their first birthday on 1 July 2021. According to Carinché Pretorius, who set up the project, their short-term goal is to strengthen these boys' selfesteem and human dignity by providing them with toiletries on a monthly basis. The basic package includes products such as body soap, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a washcloth, shampoo, a razor, deodorant spray, hair gel, lip balm, tissues, and body cream. The cost of an Ebenezer package is approximately R155 per month. The Ebenezer project currently has 21 boys receiving parcels monthly. The

Annebel Foundation is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and currently supports 54 girls in Ermelo. Me. Saretha Ferns, the manager of Annebel, said: "Every month, this foundation hands out pampering packages to these girls that do not make them feel like welfare cases, but rather like princesses." The packets contain products such as shampoo, deodorant, soap, toothpaste, hand cream, and sanitary products. Caring, loving, and welltrained branch managers hand out the parcels to the girls on a monthly basis and there is always a good spirit among the girls during these meetings. The cost of an Annebel girls' package is approximately R150 per month. "If the Lord puts it on your

heart to 'adopt' one of these boys or girls and to provide him/her with a package on a monthly basis, we would like to invite you to contact us." The banking details for the organizations are Annebel Ermelo: Capitec, branch code: 470010, savings account, account number: 1667210473, reference: your name and “Annebel”, Ebenezer Ermelo: Capitec, branch code: 470010, savings account, account number: 1714021864, reference: your name and “Ebenezer”. You can also contact Saretha Ferns at 082 302 5335 for information about Annebel or Carinché Pretorius on 074 213 2237 for information on Ebenezer Sons.

❑ Corné van Noordwyk ERMELO: Many rumours have spread like wildfire on social media platforms on Monday morning that something is brewing in Ermelo. This follows the protest action in KwaZuluNatal and Gauteng the past weekend where violent protesters caused millions in damages. Some shops in Ermelo have closed their doors in fear to protect their shops against damages and looters. Captain Carla Prinsloo, spokesperson for the SAPS Ermelo said to the media that Colonel Ngcobo, the Station Commander says there is no need for the residents and business owners to panic and the SAPS is assessing and monitoring the situation. It was alleged that on Monday 12 July 2021, there was only one report of a group of protestors on the N2 (Piet Retief Road) near Acacia burned one tire, but the police immediately responded to

the incidents and brought them under control. Colonel Ngcobo further said to the press that shop owners should only be vigilant and beef up their security measures, should something should occur. The SAPS Ermelo also encouraged the public that they should immediately contact the police, should they notice a large number of people gathering in or around town. On Monday more rumours spread on social media that the local Super Spar is being looted by protestors. One user even claimed that the building was set on fire. After an investigation by the police, it was reported back that this false information being spread around, is nothing but just rumors, and management confirmed that their doors were open during normal operating hours and that there have been no such incidents at their supermarket like it was allegedly being claimed.

DIE INSPUITING KAN JOU LEWE RED ■ GERHARD OLIVIER Dis kommerwekkend hoeveel mense nog steeds voet by stuk hou om nie teen die Covid-19 virus ingespuit te word nie. Die “fake news” lewer beslis die gewenste uitwerking op en wat die einste mense nie besef nie is dat hulle in die proses die sukses van die veldtog teen die virus letterlik help in die kiem smoor. Die doel is om soveel mense in te spuit om ‘n massa weerstand teen die virus op te bou. Hoeveel mense wat jy ken moet nog hulle lewe verloor voordat jy gaan begin besef dat die inspuiting moontlik jou lewe kan red? Kyk na die verskeie lande oorsee wat danksy die inspuiting na ‘n byna normale lewe terugkeer. Sondag sal meer as 60 000 toeskouers die Wembley stadion vol pak en die Euro finaal kyk danksy Brittanje wat binnekort Covid vry verklaar gaan word. Dis nou die tyd dat ons as SuidAfrikaners saamkom en saam teen die virus opstaan en gaan registreer vir daai inspuiting. Niemand kan dit langer bekostig om ingeperk te word nie. Dis tyd om pro-aktief saam te staan. Doen dit vir jouself, jou familie, jou gemeenskap, jou land.

Welcome

Mr Lebohang Tlaba from Clocolan has been appointed as the Regional Editor for the Northern & Eastern Cape Rekord newspapers from the 1st August 2021.

■ WILMA BOTHA

DIE HERE SAL JOU NOOIT VERGEET NIE "Kan 'n vrou haar eie baba vergeet, haar nie ontferm oor die kind wat sy in die wêreld gebring het nie?” So vra die Here in Jes. 49:15. Die antwoord is sekerlik “nee”. Ek dink nie ’n vrou wat geboorte geskenk het, sal ooit vergeet dat sy ’n kind in die wêreld gebring het nie, selfs al is die kind nie meer daar nie, selfs al moes sy hom dalk opgee, selfs al het dié kind haar later verwerp of teleurgestel. Die Here sê: “Selfs al sou so iets kon gebeur, Ek sal jou nie vergeet nie. Ek het jou naam in my handpalms gegraveer.” Hy het ons gemaak, vir ons die lewe gegee, sy lewensasem in ons ingeblaas en Hy sal ons nie vergeet nie. Hoe gerusstellend is dit nie. Dit kan dalk vir jou voel asof almal van jou vergeet het. Almal gaan aan met hulle eie dinge, gee aandag aan hulle eie mense, jaag hulle eie doelwitte na en jy is vergete, alleen, eensaam, weggegooi. Dink daaraan dat jou naam in Sy handpalms geskryf staan en dat Hy aan jou dink, dat Hy jou nader trek met daardie Hand, dat Hy daardie Hand op jou skouer en om jou hart sit en sê: Ek sal jou nooit vergeet nie. Sy liefde vir ons is sterk. “U liefde vloei soos ’n rivier oor ons hele lewe”, sê Ps. 36:8 in die Boodskap. Niks kan daai rivier van liefde, van onthou, van aandag stop nie. Letterlik niks kan ons van sy liefde skei nie. Wie (wat) kan dan teen ons wees of ons onderkry? “Swaarkry, probleme, vervolging, hongerpyne, ’n tekort aan klere, gevare, of dalk geweld? Nie een van hierdie dinge nie!” (Rom 8:35, Die Boodskap) Nie een van hierdie dinge nie, want Hy sal jou nie vergeet nie, jou naam is op sy hand geskryf.

NOU KEN JY… KATE ROK

Kate Rok se nuwe album Kate Rok lyk soos ’n donkerkop superster... met ’n Voortrekkerkappie... maar sy is simbolies van die sterk vroue wat sy bewonder, asook haar onwrikbare trots op haar kultuur en herkoms. Haar musiek is net so uniek en emosievol soos die vrou wat dit skep en sy bewys dit met haar eerste enkelsnit, MAANGENADE. Hierdie veelsydige musikant en liedjieskrywer, wat in Bethlehem gebore is en in Clarens woon, het nie nodig om ’n plek in die plaaslike musiekbedryf te kom verdien nie. Sy het eenvoudig haar plek vol selfvertroue kom inneem, Voortrekkerkappie en al, met die bekendsteling van MAANGENADE op alle digitale platforms op haar verjaarsdag, 1 Julie 2021, spesiaal vir haar land en haar mense. Dié indrukwekkende enkeslnit is op 2 Julie 2021 aan alle radiostasies landswyd uitegereik. Hierdie liedjie gaan oor hoe nietig die mens is in vergelyking met die grootsheid van die skepping. Dit is nostalgies, maar ook modern en uniek en kombineer lekkerluister kampvuurmusiek met dramatiese elemente om ’n reënboog van klanke te skep, sonder reëls, net soos haar geliefde land. “Hierdie lied het ek geskryf om te onthou dat ten spyte van die seer in ’n mens se lewe, daar ook soveel mooi en lekker dinge is. As jy daarop fokus, vind jy genesing in die vreugde van soveel ander goed – soos familie, vriende en die natuur,” verduidelik sy. “Ek raak soms baie vies oor die situasie in my land, maar dan besef ek dat die genade van my opvoeding en hoe ek redeneer, gesetel is in kennis wat ek onverdiend ontvang het. As jy besef hoe groot rol jou genade-aandeel in jou lewe speel, behoort jy meer empatie en liefde uit te deel, ongeag wie dit is.” Kate Rok glo dat die publiek van die liedjie sal hou omdat dit positief, patrioties en romanties is en sy is ongelooflik trots op die eindproduk. “MAANGENADE gaan oor ’n universele tema. Dit laat jou trots voel op jou kultuur en jou eie bestaan, maar hopelik inspireer dit ander ook om nog liewer vir jouself, jou medemens, jou kultuur en land te wees.” Dié treffende liedjie word ook gekombineer

deur ’n hoendervleismooi musiekvideo wat op 6 Julie bekendgestel is en afspeel op haar pa se prentjiemooi plaas in Clarens. Adelheid Broom was die regisseur van dié besonderse video, met haar Great Dane – Barnaby – in die hoofrol en Dawid Raath agter die kamera. “Ek en Barnaby gaan oral saam. Hy is my beste vriend en my beskermengel... ’n legende in my gemeenskap. In die video, wou ek die dinge wat ons die gelukkigste maak ten toon stel... ons “roadtrips”, om tyd saam met familie en vriende te spandeer, om nuwe mense te ontmoet en die beste van elke oomblik te maak,” deel die sanger. “Dit is op my pa se plaas, Witrans, geskiet waar ek al soveel liedjies geskryf het, trane gestort het, en lesse oor die lewe geleer het. Al die mense en dinge in my lewe, wat ek as ’n voorreg beskou is deel van die video en ek wou ook nie te veel sing nie en eerder visuele kuns in storievorm weergee vir die kyker om te geniet.” Kyk die video hier: https://youtu.be/cCTgKglD4as Hierdie interessante en sterk jong vrou sing al vandat sy drie jaar oud is en skryf al van skooldae af haar eie musiek. Die land en sy probleme inspireer haar om liedjies te skryf en sy hoop om mense met haar musiek te motiveer om ’n verskil te maak in ander mense se lewens. Kate Rok is besonders en vol verrassings en aanhangers kan elke maand iets nuuts uit haar pen te wagte te wees. “Ek hoop dat MAANGENADE luisteraars sal help om die genade in hulle eie lewens raak te sien en dankbaar te wees daarvoor,” sluit sy af. Die liedjie is nou op alle digitale platforms beskikbaar.

THE TRUTH BEHIND “BEAUTY SLEEP” Turns out the age old phrase of “get your beauty sleep” isn’t just a cheeky phrase we like to throw around. Research shows that the concept of ‘beauty rest’ actually has scientific merit. The concept of beauty sleep is that you’ll look better in the morning after getting a full night of rest. When study participants were asked to look at photos of both well-rested and sleep-deprived people, they reported that the sleep-deprived ones looked less healthy and less attractive while the well-rested ones appeared healthier and more attractive. The thing to note is that while you are sleeping, there are many restorative processes happening beneath the surface of the skin. As we know, environmental factors such as pollution and sun exposure can break down collagen in the skin during the day, and the magic of our bodies replenish collagen while we sleep. So now we know how a good nights sleep can assist with collagen production which in turn gives the skin a youthful, firm look. *Side Note: sleep deprivation also messes with your hormones which then in turn affects your hair growth! So here are a few tips to maximise your ‘beauty sleep’ benefits : - Try to get 7-9 hours of sleep. - Blue light can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle so the ever popular ritual of scrolling through your feed or catching up on the latest episode of your current Netflix binge isn’t exactly the best sleep-promoting practice. Don’t kill the messenger, but perhaps you need to consider stowing your phone an hour before bedtime and pick up a book instead. - Another classic rule of thumb is to avoid consistent alcohol, caffeine and big meals before bed.

BUSINESS

THE CHINESE TECH MOUSETRAP

TIPS FOR COPING WITH JOB LOSS ■ JUDY BRYANT Just Money suggests ten tips for dealing with job loss: Draw up a budget: Make some tough decisions and prioritise necessities rather than nice-to-haves. Paying a home loan or rent, groceries, electricity, children’s education are essentials for most people. Gym subscriptions, and takeaways can be dispensed with, although you will still need connectivity for job searches and interviews. Factor in tax: If you are due a tax pay-out, allocate it when planning your budget. Use this money to trim your debt, or to pay for your household costs. Talk about your situation: Don’t feel you have to handle all this on your own. Discuss the situation with your spouse and get your family on board. Inform your bank manager, financial advisor, and creditors. You are not the first person to experience job loss, and financial institutions have options in place. Apply for unemployment benefits: Work with your former employer and register online, or visit your nearest unemployment centre, to ascertain the benefits you can claim. Ensure you have the correct documents at hand, such as your ID, previous pay slips, and a letter from your former employer. More tips in next week’s edition

It became apparent over the weekend that on 6 July 2021 wouldn't be a happy day for Chinese tech stocks. Although yesterday's bloodbath was fully expected, it was still brutal. Both Naspers and Prosus fell by around -6%. In Hong Kong, Alibaba fell 2.8%. And Tencent? That was down -3.6%. Year-to-date, Tencent is down -1.8% which is hardly the type of return that anyone would be happy with. Naspers is down around -8%, Prosus -18% and Alibaba 11%, so it's been pretty horrible across the big names. To give an indication of how painful the story has been for Chinese tech companies compared to other Asian growth stories, Sea Limited (a tech conglomerate headquartered in Singapore) is up by more than 37% this year. There's a lot of cheese in the Chinese tech market. Some believe it is a trap for investors. Unfortunately, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is flexing its substantial muscles when it comes to control over the country's tech ecosystem. Big tech companies do all kinds of things that authoritarian governments don't approve of, like give people access to information and new products, while connecting them with the rest of the world. The rot began in early November 2020, with the shocking news that the IPO of Ant Group (the payments business incubated within Alibaba) had been pulled by Chinese authorities. Jack Ma had been highly critical of the CCP and the Chinese banking system, which doesn't win you any friends in high places. After Jack Ma literally disappeared for a while,

reminiscent of the average Bond movie plot, he magically resurfaced and began a process of repairing Alibaba. Things quietened down for a while. I felt brave enough to buy the Alibaba dip last week, as the underlying business is still strong in my opinion. Of course, my timing was spectacularly unlucky. As the news broke over the weekend of China's clampdown on ride-hailing app Didi, a company that listed in the US just days prior, it became clear that the problems are back. Arguably, they never went away in the first place. Tencent is the latest casualty, although in this case the issue relates to a blocked merger rather than a truly damaging ruling like the removal of an app. Tencent planned to merge the country's two most important videogame streaming sites: Huya and DouYu. "Huya" sounds like the sound emitted by most local asset managers yesterday, who suffered a kick in the gut of a 6% drop in the NaspersProsus stable. The biggest issue, but also the biggest opportunity, is that investor sentiment has cooled towards China. The read-through for Naspers and Prosus isn't promising. Luckily, those companies are so busy trying to create a convoluted corporate structure that people barely have time to consider the genuine business risks in the portfolio. For the likes of Alibaba, the debate will rage on about the extent of the Chinese risk discount that should be applied to these companies. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

WHEELS “For South African buyers, particularly family men, bakkies are more than simply vehicles. For many it is a status symbol that makes them stand out. It is also a workhorse, a family vehicle and an adventure companion,” says Nic Campbell, General Manager of Mitsubishi Motors South Africa (MMSA). The current generation of the Triton was introduced locally in 2019, less than six months after the world launch. Since then it has been hailed as a highly competent offering in the bakkie segment, and one that caters to the needs of discerning buyers. “With a bakkie-building pedigree that stretches well over 40 years, Mitsubishi managed to enhance and refine the current Triton in such a way that it has found favour with commercial and leisure users, as well as – of course – dads who recognise quality and value when they see it,” explains Campbell. The clothes maketh the man and in this respect the styling of the Triton gives it a rugged yet well-groomed and attractive appearance. Some of its most striking exterior features include Mitsubishi’s “Dynamic Shield” front design, which incorporates a high hood line and beefy-looking headlights. At the same time sculpted body curves with contrasting sharp lines, extended wheel flares and bright accents create the impression of strength. The Triton also comes in fashionable colours

MITSUBISHI TRITON

such as Sunflare Orange, Diamond White Metallic and Graphite Grey Metallic. Discerning fathers don’t only want to look good though, they also want to travel in comfort and the interior of the Triton offers just that. It has a modern and robust feel to it, with frame surroundings for the switch panel and air outlets. A high-quality look is created by soft pad materials and stitching on the floor console, armrests and parking brake. In addition a tilt and telescopic adjustable steering column, a multifunction leather steering wheel with audio and cruise control, Bluetooth with handsfree voice control, a touch-screen radio/CD and MP3 player, dual-zone automatic airconditioning, electric windows, USB and accessory sockets, leather seats, an electrically adjustable driver seat and a chromatic rearview mirror ensure that any trip in the Triton is an enjoyable experience. Apart from good looks inside and out, the Triton also boasts the latest in active safety and driver assistance systems, as well as a very capable 4WD system that

delivers impressive off-road performance. Any father will agree that the safety of his family members is of paramount importance. The Triton addresses this by providing a high impact-safety cabin structure and a host of safety features that include seven airbags, side-impact protection bars, a collapsible steering column, ISOFIX child seat anchors, active stability and traction control (ASTC), an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), a brake assist system (BAS), speed-sensing door lock and a high-mounted rear stop lamp. Fathers with an adventurous spirit will appreciate the Triton’s Super-Select II 4WD system, delivering optimum traction and handling characteristics for any surface, no matter how challenging. With ground clearance of 220 mm, approach and departure angles of 28 degrees and 23 degrees respectively, and a 25-degee ramp breakover angle, there are very few places the Triton won’t be able to go. Dads might be tough, but they have big hearts. At the heart of every Triton beats Mitsubishi’s tried and tested 2.4L MIVEC turbodiesel engine, mated to either a sixspeed automatic transmission with Intelligent Shift Control or a six-speed manual transmission. Clever dads will be impressed by performance figures of 133 kW at 3 500 r/min and 430 Nm of peak torque at 2 500 r/min.

NASIONALE BRAFORD VEILING ■ OVK

Die 7de Nasionale Brafordveiling is op Dinsdag 15 Junie by die Bullring (Davel) aangebied . 'n Goeie totaal van 22 bulle is vir 'n gemiddelde prys van R50 545 verkoop, met die duurste bul (Lot 2) van Bonheur Brafords wat verkoop is vir R85 000. Die koper was Pieter le Roux van Stella. Die 4 duurste dragtige verse is aan Thiele Estates vir R25 000 verkoop en verkoper was TJ de Jager van Ladysmith.

Vrystaat Landbou (VL) bly waaksaam oor die onteieningswetsontwerp as die belangrikste beleid om die onteiening sonder vergoeding ideologie te dryf. Dit was die reaksie van Vrystaat Landbou na onlangse berigte dat die EFF en ANC nie kon saamstem oor die wysiging van artikel 25 van die Handves van Regte in die Grondwet nie. Volgens Francois Wilken, president van Vrystaat Landbou, moet die burgerlike samelewing hierdie ontwikkeling nie as die einde van die bedreiging van eiendomsreg in Suid-Afrika beskou nie. “Die onteieningswetsontwerp bly die grootste bedreiging en is tans besig om wet te word. As hierdie wetsontwerp afgekondig word, kan alle bates deur die staat onteien word.” Wilken het verder gesê dat die afwesigheid van ‘n betroubare grondoudit aan politici vrye teuels bied om die grondkwessie te misbruik. “Trevor Manuel, voormalige minister van finansies en voorsitter van die Nasionale Ontwikkelingsplan-komitee, het verlede week tydens ’n betrokkenheid by die Sentrum vir Ontwikkeling en Onderneming verwys na ‘n getuienis-gebaseerde studie van die Buro vir Ekonomiese Navorsing om die Nasionale Ontwikkelingsplan (NOP) te evalueer en het verklaar dat slegs 67% van die 2030grondhervormingsdoelwit wat in die NOP gestel is, behaal is en goed op dreef is om die beplande doelwit te bereik”

. Hierdie feite word ongelukkig geïgnoreer in die politiese nastrewing van ideologiese doelstellings, wat beduidende onsekerheid in die landbousektor veroorsaak. Volgens Wilken is die Vrystaatse been van die Onteieningswetsontwerp openbare verhore nou al twee keer uitgestel weens Covid. Die portefeuljekomitee van Openbare Werke wat die verhore hanteer, het gesê dat die laaste oorblywende provinsies, naamlik die Vrystaat en Noord-Kaap, uitgesluit word weens die oorweldigende steun van die wetsontwerp in die huidige vorm. “Alhoewel Vrystaat Landbou reeds ‘n skriftelike voorlegging gedoen het, ondersteun deur 80 000 ondertekenaars en die komitee op nasionale vlak toegespreek het om die wetsontwerp te verwerp, sal ons daarop aandring dat die provinsiale verhore ons saak sal uithoor waar ons lede hul persoonlike vrese en kommer kan uitspreek om ‘n gaping in ons wetgewing vir onteiening (van enigiemand se eiendom!) sonder vergoeding te laat.” Enigiemand wat steeds die Onteieningswetsontwerp wil teenstaan, kan hul insette op Vrystaat Landbou se webwerf (https://vrystaatlandbou.co.za/stopexpropriation/ ) aanteken. Hierdie insette sal aan die parlementêre paneel wat die provinsiale openbare verhore hou, oorhandig word.
