SANDF calls reserve force members for COVID-19 deployment The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is calling on members of the Reserve Force to complement the already deployed SANDF in the fight against the COVID-19 virus. The call is in line with the National Disaster Management Act of 2002 Section 27, subsection 2, which provides that the SANDF must release its personnel to a national Organ of State for rendering of emergency services. Sub-section 2(f) provides for the SANDF to assist with the movement of persons and goods to and from or within the disaster stricken or threatened area(s). The SANDF has appealed to civilian employers to release staff members called up for the Reserve Force Service. The SANDF will be deployed in various capacities in the implementation of the national lockdown in order to execute a broad

plan of urban and rural operations. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown. South Africa went into lockdown last Friday.. “Similarly, the SA Military Health Service has called up Reserve Force doctors, nurses, and operational emergency care practitioners together with teams to work with other health practitioners in various fields. The SANDF is grateful to the Reserve Force members for their willingness to serve and appeals to civilian employers to release their staff members called up for Reserve Force Service,” the Department of Defence and Military Veterans said. – SAnews.gov.za

70 year old Free State Doctor tests positive for COVID 19 The health department said health workers infected with COVID-19 in the country did not contract the virus from patients they were treating. The department released a statement late on Saturday night announcing that 13 doctors in four provinces are among the latest confirmed cases of the virus. The health ministry said it's concerned about a number of healthcare workers who are among those with COVID-19. The infected health workers are from Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Free State and Gauteng. The department said they are all in good medical condition, with most of them showing mild or no symptoms. A 70-year-old doctor in the Free State is in the intensive care unit at a hospital. The department has emphasized that the workers came into contact with their family members, friends and other colleagues who had tested positive for COVID-19. They have all been put in quarantine and are being monitored. Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has expressed concern about these infections.

Lesotho implement 3-week lockdown Lesotho implemented its own lockdown from Sunday midnight until April 21 to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The mountain kingdom is entirely surrounded by SA and the economies of the two countries are intertwined. The two countries’ governments are in close consultation for a coordinated response to Covid-19. Lesotho prime minister Thomas Thabane said the country’s two million people will remain in their homes for the next three weeks. Only those in essential services like health, security, utilities, banking and supermarkets will be working. “All security agencies are hereby ordered to immediately enforce the measures meant to stop this disease by controlling the movement of the people,” Thabane said. Lesotho’s borders with SA will be closed but those supplying goods will be allowed in at commercial borders. Thabane said Basotho in South Africa will be blocked from going home. “They should stay where they are now, except those who are transporting essential goods and services such as health

services and food,” he said. Nearly 15% of Basotho work in SA. Thousands others cross in and out of Lesotho every day. Others use illegal crossing points. Thabane said although Lesotho does not have a confirmed case of Covid-19 his government is worried that the disease is spreading at a frightening rate in South Africa where infections have topped 900 cases. Meanwhile, Basotho were stocking up on critical supplies like food and medicines on Thursday. There were long and winding queues at supermarkets and pharmacies. The coronavirus crisis has already hit the textile sector, the second biggest employer after the government in Lesotho. This week textile companies told the government they are facing bankruptcy after buyers cancelled orders and fabric supplies from Chinese mills. More than 40,000 Basotho, mostly poor women, work in textile factories. Trade unions are warning of a major disaster when companies shut down and have appealed to the government to help pay workers.

Students from China to be reunited with families ► SAnews.gov.za Plans to reunite the 114 South African citizens repatriated from Wuhan City in China with their families are underway, as their 14-day quarantine period has ended. Addressing a media briefing on Saturday, in Tshwane, Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande, said the Department of Health is working on the modalities for their release home. “The department is responsible for transporting the students to their respective provinces and to ensure that they are reunited with their families. Buses and mini vans have been secured to transport the citizens from the Ranch in Limpopo to the rest of the country. Transportation of the citizens will commence on Monday,” the Minister said. The 76 TVET college students who returned from China after having been in work placement

at Chinese companies arranged through various Sector Education and Training Authorities are currently under quarantine at the Birchwood Hotel and Conference Centre in Kempton Park, for 14 days. “Three Department of Higher Education and Training officials have been deployed to oversee the students over this period. In addition, a circular has been sent to all colleges on the requirement for all students to be placed in a quarantine facility following their return from placements abroad,” the Minister said. The students at Birchwood will be transported back to their homes once their quarantine period is over. Clearance letters have been prepared for transportation arrangements to be facilitated. The Gauteng/Free State Regional Manager is assisting in this regard.

| VIR DIE REKORD We are experiencing something together which God forbid we will never have to again. The lockdown in an effort to disrupt the coronavirus is in full swing and while the majority of South Africans heed the President's call to stay at home, some simply is not taking the matter seriously as we do. I'm shocked to see how many youths simply ignore the call and continue to go on as normal. When questioned why one teenager answered, "if he gets it, he gets it but he is not stopping partying!" How are we going to beat this virus if we all don't play our part? Must the lockdown become a SHUTDOWN? Can we really afford it? Where will the money come from to pay the bills and keep the lights on if the majority cannot work? Please, please stay at home - self-isolate and look after yourself. When we decided to switch over to a digital-only publisher a lot of our competitors were quick to state that this is the end of Rekord. A year and four months later we continue to publish and grow. We have seen a massive surge in new subscribers and today I'm proud to say that we have already surpassed our 2020 target!

| HEUNINGDRUPPELS

Rekord Online Auctions & Kontreiwinkel open 20 April Moenie bang wees nie, jy vir wie God liefhet! Vroeër vandag was ’n vriendin hier by my. Sy het onlangs gehoor dat sy borskanker het. Môre ondergaan sy ’n lumpektomie. Ek luister na haar positiewe ingesteldheid en sien haar moed en hoor van haar geloof en dit inspireer my. Dit laat my toe dink aan die titel van ’n boek wat ek eenmaal gesien het (maar nie gelees het nie): Don’t waste your sorrows – finding God’s purpose in the midst of pain. Ek sien hoe hierdie vrou juis dít doen. Hierdie hartseer en pynlike episode word onmiddellik ’n groeipad, die Here se genade en teenwoordigheid word ’n groter werklikheid, haar oorgawe aan en afhanklikheid van Hom al hoe meer sigbaar. Sy weet alreeds dat sy, wanneer sy hierdeur gekom het, ander mense gaan bystaan en bemoedig wat dieselfde pad stap. En tog, êrens tussen alles deur, skemer dit wel deur dat sy bang is vir môre en die dae daarna. En ons kan vir mekaar sê dis oukei want ons dink aan Jesus wat daar in Getsémané ook beangs en bedroef en doodsbenoud was en ons weet daai bloedsweet was ook in elkeen van ons se plek. Ons weet Hy verstaan ons bang wees. Ons weet Hy skuif sy arms onder ons in en druk ons teen sy bors. En ons hoor: “Moenie bang wees nie, jy vir wie God liefhet! Dit sal goed gaan met jou. Wees sterk! Wees sterk!” (Dan 10:19) ~ Wilna Botha

BUILDING A CONTAINER HOME PART 1

Top Tips on building a Container Home Te veel digitale blootstelling by kinders lei tot verslawing Braam Botha Soos wat ons almal weet, speel die wonder-wêreld van rekenaars, selfone, Ipads ensovoorts ‘n bykans onontbeerlike rol in ons almal se lewens. Maar gebruik en bestuur ons dit op ‘n verantwoordelike en Digi-Smart manier - of beheer dit ons? Imagine 122 is ‘n nie-winsgewende maatskappy wat die publiek, maar veral ouers en kinders, met kennis wil bemagtig om selfone, tablette, Ipads, skootrekenaars en soortgelyke toestelle op ‘n verantwoordelike en Digi-Smart manier te gebruik. In hierdie reeks artikels wil ons graag die leserspubliek bewus maak van sekere feite maar terseldertyd ook praktiese wenke gee hoe om ‘n Digi-Smart leefstyl aan te leer. Navorsing bewys dat baie min Suid Afrikaners van die volgende wetenskaplike feite bewus is: Die oormatige gebruik van selfone, tablette, Ipads, skootrekenaars ensovoorts gee volgens wetenskaplike navorsing aanleiding tot of vererger toestande soos ADHD, “Electronic Screen Syndrome”, “Digital Dementia”, “Internet Addiction Disorder”, “Facebook Depression”, “FOMO Syndrome” (“fear of missing out”), “Nomophobia” (“separation anxiety”) en talle ander toestande en sindrome. Die voorkoms van hierdie toestande het die afgelope 15 jaar eksponensiëel met 3 400% toegeneem en kinders se fisiese, kognitiewe en gedragsontwikkeling word baie nadelig deur hierdie toestande beïnvloed. In Korea en China alleen is daar meer as 500 digitale verslawingsentrums (“cyber detox centres”) wat etlike duisende verslaafdes probeer rehabiliteer - en dit groei daagliks. In Frankryk is die gebruik van selfone vanaf 1 Julie 2018 in kleuter-en laerskole verbied. Streng wetgewing word al hoe meer deur die Westerse lande ingestel om verbuikers, en veral kinders, te beskerm. Die oormatige blootstelling aan elektromagnetiese bestraling van selfone, tablette ensovoorts en selfoontorings kan of gee volgens wetenskaplike navorsing en regspraak aanleiding tot verskeie siektetoestande soos kanker, lae bloedsuiker, versteurde slaap (“insomnia”) en vele ander versteurings.

By Kashief Schroeder This special feature has been divided into a 2 part section. This week weekwe will look Container homes take simplistic living, creative design and affordable building to the next level. It is not surprising then that the trend for modular houses is booming; before launching headlong into your own container build some preparation is required. Here are the top tips for every stage of building your dream container home. Get council approval Most councils are open to innovative types of building and recognise that alternative housing adds diversity to their town. Do thorough research on property restrictions before you buy the land. Have detailed plans drawn up professionally and develop a good relationship with your council; this will save you time and help you to deal with any hiccups along the way. Purchase your container Buy your container through a reputable company. They will help you choose the right kind of container for your needs, as well as ensure the container is structurally sound, waterproof and has not transported anything dangerous. There are two types of shipping containers: one that has reinforced square tubing side top rails and one that has flat bar side rails. Buying the reinforced side railed container will ensure that your home is better structurally sound, and you don't have to pay extra building costs to reinforce the container sides later. Building with a refrigerated container is ideal as they already have insulation but comes with different challenges. Most purchases require an upfront payment after you have seen the container and have the appropriate documentation with a container reference number. A SARS/customs EDI release (SAD500) is very important as it give assurance that the container is legally in South Africa has not been used for any illegal activities and is not part of any investigation. Design your home To achieve amazing things with your modular build, simplicity and great design is key. The more ambitious the designs are, the more time and resource-intensive it will be to build. When deciding on how many containers to use make sure you have considered how much space you need to live comfortably on a daily basis. Many holiday homes make use of only one container; however, you may need more space for daily living. Be clear on the vision for your home to simplify the whole building process. A great way to do this is to look at showhouses. They will give you a good physical indication of how effective use of space can transform a container, as well as provide inspiration for your design. Get a professional to draw your design in 3D. It will give you and your builder a better feel for the space. A professional designer will be able to arrange your living space in the best possible way for your needs. Next week we will look at planning your construction, phasing your build and how to budget

Bully of being bullied? Bullying is very difficult for children, or anyone, to deal with. It makes you feel afraid and degraded and often low self-esteem follows. Unfortunately, bullying also makes you withdraw –you don’’t want to go out because you are afraid you might see the person bullying you. It gets into your mind and you start to question everything that you do. BULLYING IS UNACCEPTABLE and may consist of some of the following: People calling you names, Making things up to get you into trouble, Hitting, pinching, biting, pushing and shoving, Taking things away from you, Damaging your belongings, Stealing your money, Taking your friends away from you, Spreading rumours, Threats and intimidation What to do if you are being bullied You have to tell someone. You may not want to do this because it means showing that you are vulnerable, that you are letting someone get the better of you. But really, it is very important to tell someone otherwise, it may not stop. Speak to a friend, parent, brother or sister, uncle or aunt and most importantly, if it happens at school, speak to your teacher. In the meantime.. Try to stay in safe areas of the school at break and lunchtime where there are plenty of other people. Bullies don’t like witnesses. If you are hurt at school, tell matron or a teacher immediately and ask for it to be written down. Make sure you tell your parents. On the school bus, try to sit near the driver, or if it’s an ordinary bus, by other adults. If you have to walk part of the way, and you’re afraid of being ambushed, then vary your route, try to leave home and school a bit later or a bit earlier, or see if you can walk with other people who live near you, even if they’re older or younger. If you have a cell phone, be careful who you give your number to. If you receive threatening phone calls or emails then tell your parents. It is a criminal offence to send offensive or threatening phone messages and if it continues, it can also amount to harassment. The police can, and do, take action. If you see anyone else being bullied at your school, please tell someone about it. But don’t get into trouble with the bullies, do it discreetly by telling a teacher when you get an opportunity and won’t be overheard. People who are being bullied need friends so if you can help someone who is so unhappy please do so. If you are a bully Bullying could be as a result of being bullied yourself. Are you bullying because it makes you feel powerful? Are you the kingpin because you are liked or because people are scared of you? If you are bullying, think about how it would make you feel if people were making fun of you, harassing you or stealing your lunch money? I am sure that it would make you feel awful – afraid and alone. You are probably already aware that what you are doing is wrong. If that is true, then take the first step to stopping your behaviour. Ask yourself: What made me start bullying? Why do I pick on people? How does it make me feel when I am bullying somebody? If I want to, how do I stop? If you are uncertain about what happens after you stop bullying, then speak to someone – a parent, a friend, a teacher – someone you trust not to judge you. Remember that this behaviour is UNACCEPTABLE but everyone is entitled to a SECOND CHANCE.

Jou ou lyf kan nie 3 trollie kos en benodighede alleen koop, kar toe dra en later uitpak nie. So weeklikse trips na die winkel om die draai is al hoe jy seker maak dat jy en jou man/vrou elke aand 'n bord kos het of julle medisyne kry. Hoe dit moet voel om geskeur te wees tussen opgewondenheid en vrees oor jou groeiende boepie as 'n nuwe of 'nog-n-keer' mamma nie. Hoe lekker dit nie moet wees om daai sonrokkie te dra wat jy al maande wag om jou 'mom-to-be' glow en figuur af te wys nie. Dit pas nie so mooi met die blou surgical masker nie. Jou wange moes rooi wees van opgewondenheid, dalk bietjie ongemak omdat die boepie vandag swaarder dra as laas week, nie oor angstigheid nie. Nie omdat winkel toe gaan of by die dokter kom vir 'n check up voel soos die grootste bedreiging wat jy dalk ooit hoef aan te pak nie. Hoe sou dit voel as een van jou ouers as 'n 'essential service worker' geklasifiseer word. Ewe skielik word elke oproep 'n misie om te probeer hoor of hulle stem vandag bietjie anderste klink as gister. Die kopseer wat hulle het van heeldag werk, hou jou aande om wakker want wat as... Hy was sy hande, dra sy masker en volg al die reëls terwyl hy aanhou werk om ander te help, maar wat as die volgende statistiek my pa is. Of jy't honger gesiggies reg rondom jou. Jy werk gewoonlik elke klein werk wat jy kan kry, enige iets. Elke R50 voel soos 'n verligting want werk in Suid Afrika deesdae is klaar so moeilik om te kry. Enige, nee elke werk voel soos die laaste een wat jy dalk gaan kry. En toe was dit rerig. Vir 21 dae is tuinmaak of kaste insit nie noodsaaklik nie. Jou aandete is teleurstelling en vrees wat jy moeilik afsluk met water. Brood eet jy nie want dan het jou kinders minder en dis makliker om jouself te probeer troos as hulle.

kontreiwinkel Rekord Kontreiwinkel is ons aanlyn Facebook blad winkel waar jy die mooiste items kan koop. Gaan like gerus ons facebook blad. WINKEL OPEN 20 APRIL 2020

Ons almal het die kans om die 21 dae reg te gebruik, goed te gebruik. In 21 dae kan ons die land red en ons mense red. Of in 21 dae kan ons naief genoeg wees om te dink "dis mos net eenkeer wat ek gou langsaan gaan braai". Maar as almal "1 keer" dan word 21 dae dalk 3 maande of meer. Mense verloor hulle werke. Mense verloor hulle lewens. Mense moet totsiens sê vir familie lede, vriende en ander geliefdes. Jy kan vir 21 dae jou polo in die garage hou en bietjie by die huis bly.
