DRAGON BOAT RACERS
From 28 May until 1 June the International Dragon Boat races will be held in two Malaysian cities – Putrajaya and Malacca. This is the second largest sport in the world, after soccer, and the breast cancer survivors that make up the amaBele Belles team will tell you what great exercise it is for anyone who has breast cancer or has had a mastectomy. An added bonus is the wonderful camaraderie and support from others 'in the same boat'. Two of the participants in this year's race are from Pinelands, Lenora Hammond who was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after donating a kidney to her son (see Muse August 2012) and Eileen van Helden. These two are the lead paddlers for the group of 12 women going to Malaysia to compete with 11 other survivor teams. To encourage them while they practice go to the V&A Waterfront on Saturday mornings from 8am and on Mondays at 6pm, behind the Cape Grace Hotel. The Muse wishes the AmaBele Belles all the very best! Call Lenora Hammond 021 531 9303. See www.amabelebelles.co.za.

On 1 April 2014 certain information was removed from all credit bureaus: All adverse listings irrespective of Rand value All paid up and whether or not the debt has been paid up judgements
Importantly, only paid up judgements will be removed – effectively if the debt has been repaid the consumer will benefit from having the judgement removed from the credit bureau. It is assumed that removing paid up judgements and adverse listings incentivises consumers / tenants to settle debts and they should be rewarded with its removal from the credit bureaus. Unfortunately, the Credit Information Amnesty was applied to all adverse listings irrespective of whether the debt has been settled or not. However, it does not extinguish the debt and the consumer (tenant) remains liable to repay it albeit the adverse listing will no longer reflect on the credit bureaus.
