Sibanye-Stillwater het onlangs 'n ooreenkoms met die vakbond van die ‘Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union’ (AMCU) bereik, ten opsigte van jaarlikse lone en voordele vir werknemers wat by die Marikana en Rustenburg mynboubedrywighede betrokke is.

ooreenkoms sal uitgebrei word na alle vakbonde en alle werkers wat in diens gestel is. “Ons is bly dat ons hierdie loononderhandelinge betyds en doelgerig kon afhandel, sonder die ontwrigting- of ingryping van ‘n derdeparty. Die jaarlikse loonen voordeelverhogings wat ooreengekom is, is in ooreenstemming met inflasie en verseker 'n vyfjaartydperk van stabiliteit by ons Rustenburg- en Marikana-bedrywighede, wat alle belanghebbendes sal bevoordeel,” sê Neal

Egpaar van bekende restaurant in Hartbeespoort in hul huis geskiet

■ HARTBEESPOORTDAM Die polisie hier in Noordwes, het 'n soektog van stapel gestuur nadat verdagtes Dinsdagoggend (1 November 2022) 'n egpaar geskiet het terwyl hulle gelê en slaap het.

Die twee slagoffers, Alastair en Michelle Mckenzie se name is ook toe later in die media bekend gemaak. Die Mckenzie-egpaar is die eienaars van die baie gewilde restaurant ‘Squires on the Dam’ is hier in Hartbeespoort.

Amanda Funani, ‘n polisiewoordvoerder, het aan die media gesê die egpaar is in ‘n kritieke toestand in ‘n Pretoriase hospitaal nadat hulle in die kop geskiet is.

"Volgens bewerings was die twee slagoffers albei 62 jaar oud en het by hul huis gelê en slaap, maar die kamer se skuifdeur oopgelos. Daar word beweer dat die verdagtes die egpaar se spogwoning binnegegaan het en

op hulle losgebrand het. Hulle dogter het die geweerskote gehoor en gehaas na die kamer. “Sy het hulle met skietwonde op die bed aangetref en met hulle na 'n hospitaal in Pretoria gehaas.

Geen arrestasies is op die oomblik al gemaak nie. Ons ondersoek twee aanklagte van poging tot moord en huisroof.” Hulle dogter, Alexis Mckenzie het gister op sosiale media vertel hulle hele gesin, wat ook haar broer Greg insluit, is nog baie erg getraumatiseer deur die voorval, alhoewel hulle toestand as kritiek beskou kan word is sy dankbaar dat albei haar ouers nog leef en sal hulle as ‘n gesin saam staan op hulle ouers se pad na herstel. Sy het ook die geleentheid gebruik om almal vir hulle oproepe, boodskappe en gebede te bedank.

Froneman, uitvoerende hoof van Sibanye.

“Die ooreenkoms wat met AMCU en ander verteenwoordigende georganiseerde vakbonde bereik is, stem ooreen met die onlangse loonverhogings wat by ons SuidAfrikaanse goudbedrywighede aangegaan is, wat 'n voorloper van hierdie onderhandelinge was, met 'n totale geraamde gemiddelde verhoging in die loonrekening, insluitend alle voordele, oor die vyfjaartydperk van ongeveer 6,3% per jaar,” het hy bygevoeg.

Cloud Computing As we progress at a rapid pace into the fourth industrial revolution, it has become increasingly critical to understand how to make use of the vast computing resources available on the Cloud to adapt to changing business needs. The days of creating and servicing internal Information Technology infrastructures are rapidly fading in the wake of Virtual Computer infrastructures to make IT environments more flexible, scalable, and affordable. What is Cloud Computing? “The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer.” This course on Virtual Computing will equip you with not only the knowledge to understand the most fundamental Cloud computing concepts, but also provide physical practical exposure to configure a variety of Virtual Computing technologies such as Oracle Virtual Box, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Hyper-V, and more. As a cloud computing consultant you can offer your services to a company, with the unique selling point that “a high-performing private cloud can help cut up to 60% of operational expenses”. Boston prepares people, whether new to

the workplace or employed in an industry, to offer services in Cloud Computing and its configuration, set-up, and networking, to any large or small to medium enterprise. Course Layout: • Introduction to Virtual Computing • Working with Oracle VM Virtual Box 5 • Working with VMware Workstation 12 Pro • Data Centre Virtualization and Cloud Computing • Working with Microsoft Hyper-V • Working with Virtual Machine Manager • Working with VMware vSphere • Implementing a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure • Introduction to Cloud Computing The online structure of this course provides guided access to live server environments for configuring Virtual Computing platforms from anywhere.

New careers new world and a new you - Preparing for a future that matters

By Natalie Rabson on behalf of Boston City Campus.

You can’t predict the future, none of us foresaw a pandemic that’s for sure! But data experts can strongly recommend what job you should pick for a successful future. When looking for one of the best jobs of the future, two considerations will be crucial: What jobs are or will be well-paying? And what jobs will expand dramatically as the world recovers from Covid19? There was already a tendency for redundancy as certain jobs were being phased out due to new tech and IT innovations. So we all need to upskill and upgrade our CVs. Have a look below at the jobs with the strongest and weakest growth rates (Using data from the USA Bureau of Labour Statistics), as predicted over the next 10 years. The 10 best jobs for the future include App developer, Computer systems analyst, Nurse practitioner, Physical Therapist, Health Services Manager, Market Research Analyst, and Personal Financial Adviser.

These predictions take into consideration a world post Covid19, providing a good salary, as well as the job having manageable entry requirements. The 10 worst jobs for the future mention careers such as floral designer and furniture finisher, door-to-door sales person, and gaming cashier. Not coincidentally, these jobs cannot be done remotely, and also many involve handwork and craft work that may eventually become automated. Says Alida Hattingh of Boston Welkom, “We encourage the learner to stay ahead of the curve by ensuring they acquire valuable skills, stay relevant in their workplaces, and learn to operate the new tech.” “Automation has helped us shop, work, and learn from home, many people do not want to go back to a world where everything had to be done ‘in-person’. Grocery and clothes shopping

online boomed, and while many were ordered back to work, some employers appreciate the increased productivity of having people work from home and have adapted a fluid approach to ‘office hours and ‘office desk workspaces. Online education helped people adapt to a new world of remote learning, remote working, and digitization of jobs," she says.

Computer systems analysts analyze data processing problems to develop and improve computer systems.

With 53 000 new positions projected by 2026, and an average salary of up to R700 000 per year, IT seems a great place to start to develop a lucrative career. Software systems developers develop operating systems, and network software. The projected new positions for developers are double that of computer analysts in the USA. Computer and information systems managers plan, direct, and coordinate computer systems. With a Systems Development Diploma or Network Systems Diploma from Boston under your belt, you are looking at entering one of a projected 43 000 new jobs by 2026, and an earning potential starting at close to R200 000 per year. An alternative to studying for a medical degree would be to study business and then enter the medical industry as a Medical and Health services manager. With the explosion and regulation of healthcare services and medical insurance, there is a need for these graduates to plan, direct, or coordinate health services. Alida concludes that there is an appropriate career for every learner, and believes in matching skills and interests to your career path.

“This is the formula for success. A motivated student becomes an ambitious graduate”, she says.

CORNÉ VAN NOORDWYK In die afgelope paar weke, of liewer die afgelope paar dae, het Suid-Afrika afskeid geneem van verskeie groot name in die vermaaklikheidswêreld.

Jy self het seker reeds of gelees of gehoor van bekende akteurs en sangers wie ons moes groet? En vanoggend vroeg toe ek my sosiale media oopmaak, die nuus van die bekende radio-persoonlikheid, Jeremy Mansfield, wat sy stryd teen kanker verloor het. Dit bring my dadelik by die gedagte dat ons lewenslyntjie maar hier op aarde binne ‘n oogwink vir ons geknip kan word. In ons weeklikse Christelike kolom, lees ek Wilna Botha skryf dat ons moet vrede maak met ons vyande en die strydbyl liefs moet neersit. Ek wil nie haar onderwerp die week oorneem of oor dieselfde ding praat nie, maar dink daaroor. Gaan slaap elke aand met ‘n skoon gewete en weet jou saak is oral reggestel, by jouself en almal om jou. “Life is short, and every moment is precious. Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.” Ek hoop julle geniet dié week se Veldbrand… ‘n mooi week vir JOU!

“As jou vyand honger is, moet jy sorg dat hy iets te ete kry. As hy dors is, moet jy hom iets gee om te drink. As jy dit doen, sal jy hom verskriklik skaam maak.” (Rom 12:20, Die Boodskap) Ai ja, mens kan mos nou verwag om iets só ongewoon in die Bybel te lees! Wie wil dít nou doen? Die menslike en natuurlike optrede teen jou honger vyand sal dalk wees om jou te verlekker in sy situasie, jy kan dalk dink (en sê!): Jy wil mos! Kry nou vir jou! Ly nou maar lekker honger, jy wou my mos te na kom. Die Here se verwagting vir sy kinders is egter om téén die natuurlike gevoel op te tree. Dalk is dit tyd om die strydbyl te begrawe met daai familielid en hulle uit te nooi vir ’n ete. Dalk is dit tyd om dinge uit te sorteer met jou moeilike kollega by die werk – dit sal makliker wees rondom ’n koffie en ’n lekker skon.

Dalk is dit tyd om dinge reg te stel met jou buurman wat jou te nagekom het – bedien hom met iets om te eet. Ek dink dis moeilik om nog kwaad te bly vir iemand wat na jou uitreik met ’n bordjie eetgoed, of saam met jou om ’n tafel sit en eet. Wanneer mens sáám eet, ontlok dit gesprekke. Wanneer mens sáám rondom ’n tafel is, kom daar dalk ’n nuwe perspektief en ’n nuwe verstaan en medelye met die ander persoon. Kyk wat sê die teks sal die uiteinde wees: jou vyand sal skaam kry! Hy sal selfondersoek doen oor sy houding, hy sal vergewensgesind wees, hy sal sien dat jy hom respekteer ten spyte van sy optrede of gevoel teenoor jou. Is dit ’n maklike opdrag? Beslis nie. Is dit moontlik? Ek dink so. Kom ons gaan probeer dit. “Doen van julle kant af alles in julle vermoë om in vrede met ander mense te leef. Laat staan al julle wraakplanne, my liewe broers en susters. Dit plas glad nie by gelowiges nie.” (Rom 12:18-19)

Rubrieke Klitsgras Die dorpie van ons het nou maar vir jou ‘n paar tertjies wat behoorlik die koek vat! Vir die een tertjie (kom ons noem haar sommer ‘n peppermint crispie) kan nie genoeg kry om haar oneindige liefde vir ‘n getroude Eva te betuig nie.

En sommer so terwyl Eva se Adam pool speel.

En dis nie die eerste keer nie hoor. Die peppermint crispie wil nie ophou nie en Klitsie het nie nodig om te wonder wanneer die peppermint crispie ‘n paar klappe gaan kry nie. Los die Eva uit wat gevat is en gaan soek ‘n ander gewillige tertjie waarmee jy saam ‘n stukkie koek kan eet.

Die ander tertjie (kom ons noem haar ‘n melktertjie) het ‘n gespierde Adam maar o nee dit wil voorkom of daar dalk ‘n te kort aan ander spiere is want onse melktert deel sommer haar nommer so op die slippie wat jy by die toonbank kry as jy klaar geshop het uit. Melktertjie het haar oog op ‘n sekere Adam en doen toe weer die slippie ding. Adam stel toe gelukkig nie belang nie en vertel vir Melktertjie dat hy allergies is vir melk en dit melktertjies ook insluit. Melktertie het nie opgegee tot die Adam se Eva haar mooi laat verstaan het om haar Adam uit te los of sy gaan wys vir die baas die slippie met die nommer. Nou ja toe. Melktert het hopelik die boodskap gekry om maar met haar Adam wat regtig gespierd en vreeslik sexy is te bly. Never a dull moment.. Klitsie
