Two Mexicans have been lost in the desert for weeks. At death ’s door, they see a tree in the distance. As they get nearer, they see that it ’s draped with rasher upon rasher of bacon: smoked bacon, crispy bacon, life-giving nearly-raw juicy bacon, all sorts of bacon.
“Hey, Pepe ” says the first Mexican, “ees a bacon
tree! We ’re saved!!” So Pepe goes on ahead and runs
up to the tree. As he gets to within five feet,
he ’s gunned down in a hail of bullets. His friend
drops down on the sand and calls across to the dying
Pepe.
“Pepe!!
Pepe!! Que pasa hombre?” With his last breath Pepe
calls ut, “Ugh, run, amigo, run, ees not a bacontree,
ees a ham bush ”

The City Mall of Klerksdorp has in the past seen many of its charitable causes being embraced with the effervescent spirit of Christmas. These heartfelt causes are part and parcel of the Mall ’s gallant efforts to give back to a cherished community in a bid to extend its appreciation for the community ’s loyalty to the City Mall during recent years. And
this year will be no different, in conjunction with
Advalue Advertising and Marketing, a special Christmas
drive with a twist will see many charitable causes also
embracing the Christmas spirit in this unique venture to
generate much-needed funds. This year the City Mall ’s
beloved Christmas tree will be adorned with beautiful
strings of globes covered in small brown paper bags. The
City Mall invites various business owners and City Mall
tenants in Klerksdorp to “light ”up the globes. The
concept of this fundraising event is that businesses
compete against each other in a unique effort to see who
can purchase the most pygmy globes. A mere R100 per globe will see to it that a dynamic Christmas spirit “team ”races against time to ensure that identified charities can also enjoy Christmas the City Mall way! Special recognition will be given to participating businesses by way of engraving their names on a board that will be placed next to the Christmas tree, aptly called the “Wall of Supporters ”. Your News will report on this fundraising drive and recognition will be given to those entities that made a worthy contribution. The business who has made the biggest contribution will have the esteemed honour of handing over the collected money to the charities involved. Come on and get moving! See how many brown paper bags can be removed from those pygmy globes so that the City Mall ’s Christmas tree can brighten up with an unprecedented glow that is the epitome of the true Christmas spirit …
For more information, please contact Suné Rowan at Advalue Advertising and Marketing. Tel:(018)468 5152. Your News will report on this fundraising drive and recognition will be given to those entities that made. Do your Christmas shopping @the Triest Training centre
On 28 November the Triest centre will host a Christmas Market from 9:00 -19:00. The
ideal spot for Christmas shopping at affordable prices
and unique gifts at designer standards. All
funds raised during the Christmas expo will be used for
the maintenance of the Triest centre as well as the well
being of the learners. Triest is situated on the corner

The
Klerksdorp Museum is housed in the Old Prison and apart
from the goal exhibition, they are also dealing with social history and physical science. The warder ’s house next to the museum is also worth a visit with its antiques and rooms illustrating the difference between the Victorian, Edwardian and Art Nouveau styles. There
is a lovely gift shop where you can do your X- mas
shopping in a tranquil atmosphere. The shop boasts a
variety of gifts and ornaments, ranging from glass
ceramics, brass ethnic products and many more. The prices are also very reasonable. For the most women, it is difficult to buy a present for the men in their lives, but look no further. The museum distills its own mampoer and with an alcohol percentage of 55% it is the ideal gift to knock him out! Art-and crafts workshops are presented at the museum at least once a month. On 13 and 20 November the museum is presenting quilt workshops. Book in advance and make a lovely X-mas quilt. The museum is alive and well and you can visit it at the corner of Lombaard and Margaretha Prinsloo Street every weekday from 10:00 –13:00, 14:00 –16:30 and Saturdays from 09:30 –12:00.

All prices, information and illustrations were Die AHI het sy 58ste kongres in Stellenbosh op 22 en 23 Oktober die jaar gehou, en die boodskap wat uit gestuur is, was duidelik: “Indien u as besigheid enigsins u stem wil laat hoor in besluitnemings –en beleidsvorming van die regering moet u by een van die bestaande sakekamers, naamlik die AHI, Nafcoc,Fabcos of Sabek geaffilieerd wees, sodat op nasionale vlak beleid beinvloed kan word. ” Ekonomiese probleme in enige besigheid kan normaalweg voor die deur van swak leierskap, of leierskap sonder visie gelê word.Suid Afrika se ekonomie is soos ‘n besigheid en die huidige probleme mag dalk baie te doen hê met ons verlede, maar die verantwoordelikheid van huidige leiers moet nie oorsien word nie.Mnr Mathews Phosa, nuwe adjunk president van die AHI het dit beaam toe hy gesê het: “Ons land sal staan of val met die kwaliteit van ons leiers. ” Prof Maruis Potgieter, van Potchefstroom Universiteit, het op Vrydag 31 Oktober die feit onder die gaste by die Burgemeester van Klerksdorp se dinee ‘n werklikheid probeer maak toe hy gesê het dat: “die leiers wat ons in Suid Afrika kweek sal bepaal of ons ‘n sukses van Suid Afrika maak of nie. ”
Een van die groot plus punte vir Klerksdorp wat uit die
AHI kongres gekom het, is die tweede plek wat ‘n
plaaslikke besigheid (Expo Foods) verwerf het in die
Entrepeneur van die jaar kompetisie. Die kompetisie is
landwyd deur die AHI, PretoriaTegnikon, Ou Mutual,
Business Partners en Rapport gehou.

At the Executive Mayors annual Banquet held on 1 November he had the following to say about this highly debated issue. And we quote: “One
of the most debated issue this year in exception of
rates and taxes, was undoubtedly the purchase of Orkney
Vaal Resort. I must point out today that, the move to purchase the resort was not an economically as well as social development uncalculated move.
As government responsible to all South Africa living in our area of jurisdiction, we cannot abdicate our primary responsibility, which is the welfare in general of our community. The truth is we helped our residents who were taken for a ride by those who thought they were clever enough to fool them forever. The purchase price stand at R14 million, with total assets of plus minus 30 million. Unsuspecting elderly members of our white community invested their life savings into this venture hoping to have a heaven on earth as promised. Although payments were being by the residents, those payments were not made to the council. As such there were no adequate services rendered to the resort with more than 300 stands, this was a shame on the developer. We bought Orkney Vaal back and as true custodian of development.
The
municipal services are now being supplied without
interruption and already we there is a plus or minus 60
thousands rand a month profit. In addition Council has
been paid arrear services from the estate of R442 000,00
and the Council claim of R1,79 million due by the estate
must still be paid by the state. As council we were
directly involved and we have prevented the loss of
millions of rands of invested money for and in favour of
residents of Orkney Vaal.
Vuna,
a Xhosa word meaning to reap or to harvest. That is
exactly what our Local City Council did last Thursday
when they received a third prize in the Vuna awards held
in Mabatho. They harvested a cheque to the value of R250 000.Provincial Government, Salga, DBSA &NPI are currently involved in a judging process of all, local and district councils in South Africa. The competition criterion is based on a five point system judging councils on Service Delivery, Institution Development, Municipal Transformation, Financial Viability and Local Economic Development.
The first tree places in each province are entered into a national competition, and the winners between the 27 municipalities will be announced on the fifth of December 2003. It is quite a shame that all municipalities are judged in the same competition, because Klerksdorp, which is an amalgamated municipality had to compete against much smaller municipalities, like Potchefstroom and Lightenburg who has a much smaller areas to manage and are surely faced with much less and smaller problems than a city like Klerksdorp.
The
money? “We will look at where we need to improve on
the judging criteria, and spend the money on improving those
areas where we need to improve in order to improve our
service to the community, ”said Thupi Mokhatla
Municipal Manager in an interview with us on Monday.
Congratulations to Council, our thoughts are with you
for the December awards.
The
department of Local Economic Development has embarked on
a process of changing City Council ’s image. A local
company Arnold & Wessels, who is well known and
respected in our city, has been appointed to help
Council with this process and so far what has come from
it can only be praised. The plan is to introduce the new image as what Council ’s budget allows, so that they don ’t waste already printed stationary and marketing material. The Councils annual report that was released at the Mayors Banquet, had the new image on the front page, and symbolizes a City of People working together for a better future.
Dit is sekerlik nie nodig om weer deur die hele proses van verduideliking te gaan waarom die plaaslikke Stadsraad besluit het om die waardasie rol weer oop te stel nie. Wat
nou belangrik is, is dat elkeen wat voel dat sy eiendom
se waarde verkeerd deur die waardeerders bepaal is,
beswaar moet aanteken. Hieronder is die amptelikke
kennisgewing, soos deur wet verlang. U
het nou die kans om beswaar aan te teken. Die waardasie
rol open om 17 November 2003 en u sal tot en met 16
Januarie 2004 kans gegee word om protes aan te teken. CITY COUNCIL OF KLERKSDORP REOPENING

Hardly
a month after launching FastForward to the market, Absa,
the country ’s leader in mortgage finance, has come up
with another attractive home loan offer. The option,
aptly named First Time Home Loan, has been specifically
structured to assist first time homebuyers. Whilst Absa
has catered for this market in the past, this latest
innovation takes best advice to new levels. Jaco Grobler, Managing Executive: Absa Home Loans, says that although mortgage products for first time home buyers are fairly common in the market today, the approaches of various banks differ. The route that Absa has chosen to follow is to separate the purchase price of the property from the costs that need to be financed, while still only granting the client one total home loan amount.
The amount of the total loan granted will amount to as much as 108%of the purchase price (i.e.the portion for costs is a maximum 8%of the purchase price amount).The 8% will be the amount that is “separated ”and placed in the secondary account.
The benefit of this distinction is that the client can structure the repayment of the costs to be over a shorter period (Absa recommends a five year term) than his/her long term home loan, and thus save a significant amount in interest. This is achieved via the Absa MultiPlan product option which allows a loan to be split into two accounts (a primary and secondary account), with different term of repayment applicable to each. Most customers don ’t stay in their first home forever –their lifestyles change and with that so do their homes.
Should the costs portion be added to the loan amount (and not separated as with the Absa option), the client is in real danger of not having paid enough of the costs portion off when they sell their property. This may result in their outstanding balance at the bank being higher than the amount, which they “clear ”when they sell their property. It is important to remember that although most properties do escalate in value every year, when one sells the property there are also costs involved, including estate agents commission should you not sell privately.
Depending
on the repayment to income ratio, clients may choose
either a variable or fixed interest rate term (12,18 or
24 months). The
First Time Home Loan is only available to single or
joint applicants who are buying homes for the first
time. Loan amounts range between R120 000 and R400 000.
First Time Home Loan clients will be required to take
out life cover, comprising of full balance in the event
of death, permanent disability for all occupations,
temporary disability cover for a maximum of 24 months,
and retrenchment cover for a maximum of six months. Author

Kaart lisensies sal nie verder as ‘m metode van identifikasie erken word nie. Dit is na daar ‘n wyseging aan die wet met betrekking tot die kaartstelsel op 25 September plaas gevind het.
Die rede hiervoor is dat die houers van die ID kaarte (ons almal maw.) se volle name nie op die kaarte verskyn nie, maar slegs voorletters. Terwyl talle besighede en selfs banke die kaarte as positiewe identifi kasie aanvaar, sal jy nog steeds jou boekie by jou moet hê as jy jou “volledig ”aan ‘n verkeerskonstabel wil identifiseer. Genaadiglik
sal ons nie weer in elle lange toue hoef te staan as
gevolg van die storie (wat deur baie as ‘n groot
flater gesien word) nie. Die intersante ding is dat daar
nie verwag word dat nuwe uitreikings voortaan reggestel
sal word nie. Die
rede hiervoor is dat die departement van binnelandse
sake verantwoordelik is vir ID dokumente en nie die
departement van verkeer nie. En hier het ek nog heeltyd in my saligheid gesit en dink ek kan nou daardie groen boekie maar by die huis los as ek Durban toe ry die vakansie, maar nee ek lees op cartoday se webwerf ‘n woorvoerder van die departemnet vervoer in Natal het gesê en ek haal aan: “Traffic officials must identify drivers by checking their driver ’s licences in conjunction with their ID documents.” Nou wonder ek net is die kaart storie nie maar ‘n mors van tyd en geld was nie, ek wens iemand daar bo in die groot stoele wil my so ‘n briefie skryf met al die waaroms en die wat, en terwyl hulle besig is kan hulle dalk sommer die rekening tot dusver vir my saamstuur.

dankie, my e-pos is marketing@yourcity

publiek lus om u opinie hieroor te lig ons sal graag van

INTERESTING
how some vehicles develop as they evolve. For some time
now, Toyota SA has offered two Land Cruiser models,
namely the full-blown 100 and the slightly smaller
90,otherwise known as the Prado. As the 100 moved
upmarket to tackle the Range Rover as a premium status
(and priced)SUV, it left the Prado to carry the Toyota
flag in the serious 4x4 world: the cultured off-roader
that you would actually buy to go off-road exploring. Maintaining separate chassis/body construction, but with an all-new design, the latest junior ‘Cruiser has increased in size over its predecessor. This, together with its still macho styling, gives it a very imposing presence. Length is up by 80 mm to 4 850 mm, width by 55 to 1 875 mm, matched by increases in the dimensions that affect vehicle dynamics: the wheelbase has been stretched by a substantial 115 to 2 790 mm, and front and rear tracks by,respectively,70 and 65 to 1 575 mm at both ends. Height, however, has been reduced by 10 to 1 905 mm. The overall effect is a lowering of the vehicle ’s centre of gravity that, combined with a stiffened chassis, is aimed at improving ride and handling -as well as NVH -to levels comparable with a monocoque construction. The
idea, then, is to be a little more car, a little less
commercial. Climbing aboard, it is obvious we are
talking BIG car, though. New Prado is a substantial
piece of real estate, offering a fine view of the
landscape. The enlarged dimensions afford acceptable
accommodation for eight average-sized people, but with
little luggage space for anything more than overnight
bags. However, the rear (third) bench is split 50:50 and
each side can be folded forward and sideways and clipped
to the sidewall, or removed altogether, to provide some
carrying versatility.(Folded, the seats take up 80 dm3
of space.)Typical of such layouts, there is no cargo
cover to conceal goods, which is a drawback But
no matter where you sit, a three-point seatbelt, a
height-adjustable head restraint (the one for the
rearmost middle seat can be stored in a zipped
compartment to increase rearward vision), and some
backrest angle adjustment is provided. Upholstery is leather with perforated inserts. There are air-con vents either side of the roof above the second and third rows of seats, with temperature control (including auto mode) independent from that up front. Headroom is excellent throughout, and only legroom right at the back is limited. There are grab handles above each side window as well as on the A-and B-pillars. Drink holders are set into the rear-quarter panels and the middle seat ’s fold-down centre armrest, so comfort aft is not compromised too much. Fixings for kiddie chairs are part of the middle row of seats.
Oh, there is a 12-volt power socket in the rear, too. Naturally, up front, things are a little more involved. Electric seat cushion height and backrest angle adjustment, side-to-side climate control, custom radio/cassette (with nice big buttons) plus six-CD shuttle (housed in the big lockable facia cubby), height-adjustable front seatbelts, dual drink holder in the floor console, a big centre armrest/cubby with movable pad, 12-volt power socket, illuminated vanity mirror behind both visors, dual map lights, a spectacles holder, and powered windows (all round) are all part of the kit. The driver gets a rake-and reach-adjustable steering wheel, electric mirror adjustment (albeit hidden from view by the four-spoke wheel), electric lumbar support, cruise control, left- foot rest, remote fuel flap and bonnet releases awkwardly placed low down in the footwell, and a rheostat for the VX-only Optitron instrument lighting system.
Befitting
the off-road persona, together with a digital clock
there is a compass bearing readout, and a trip computer

It
has been a while since we have had the experience of
having such a nail biting end to the Formula One
Championship. Micheal Schumacher has been dominating the
seen in such a way over the past 5 years, it has been
almost inconceivable that any of his rivals would be
able to dethrone the master of F1. This year it almost
did happen, we have been witness to one of most exciting
years of racing. There has been massive crashes (goes
without saying)
What
will next year hold? Will he do it again or will Alonso,
Rubens or Juan-Pablo take it from him. Willie Walker,
Micheal an Ralf ’s manager believes that the younger
of the two brothers will take it next year. Or at least
that is what he said in a recent interview. I on the
others hand, wonder what he smokes (Willie that is) For
one the team he drives for seems to be lost somewhere in
the woods in Germany, and secondly he only won two races all year this year. Ralf will have to do a lot more to win the championship, he defiantly has the potential, his records does prove this, but he seems to be lacking something.
To celebrate this past years racing the Ferrari F1 Supporters Club is hosting a big Formula One party on the 15th of November 2003 @the Greek Hall, in Neserhof. “Last
years party was a hoot of fun and ending this year
without one would just be wrong ” said one of the
organizers. The highlight of the evening for many might
be the visit from some of the guys from SEFAC (Ferrari
owners club)
Sasha
from 5FM might also be there. So don ’t miss it, tickets are limited and are moving as fast as Ferraris (I lie, nothing does, does it ?) Contact 082 672 7890.
Tickets
cost R100 per person and if the kids want to come along
bring them. They only pay R50 if they are younger than 6
years. Party starts @ 19:00 there will be a cash bar.

Op 28 en 29 Februarie 2004 gaan Klerksdorp en Potchefstroom oorloop van sport-mal mense. Die rede hiervoor is die “Powerade Vodacom Ultra Challenge ”wat gaan plaasvind gedurende hierdie twee dae.
Die organiseerders en borge waarby name soos, Powerade, Vodacom, OFM, Overland, Supersport, Cyclelab, Kerksdorp en Potchefstroom Stadsraad en Agenbag Motors gesit kan word, beplan om die grootste sportgebeurtenes in die Noordwes Provinsie nog ooit, te reël. Ons almal ken die Potchefstroom Myl (swem) en die Pioneers Marathon as groot gunstelinge onder die manne met die lang asems.
Die
jaar het die Overland City to City Cycle Challenge die
lig gesien. Wel, volgende jaar vind dié drie top
geleenthede op een langasem naweek plaas. Daar gaan op
die Saterdag (28 Feb.) gehardloop en geswem word en op
Sondag (29 Feb.)gaan die manne met die bene van staal
die pad aandurf op hulle martelpype. 50km, 21.2km, 10km
en 5km is die afstande vir die marathons en die swem
word opgedeel in 1 myl, 750m en 375m. Die fietsryers kan
uitsien na ‘n 120km, 80km, 40,km of ‘n 10km wedren,
vir die wat minder bakstene in hulle broeke rond dra. Julle
wonder seker hoekom ons nou al vir jou hiervan vertel,
wel daar is ook ‘n “corporate challenge ” en dit
beteken dat besighede spanne kan inskryf. Elke lid van
die span sal dan aan een item deelneem, en die drie se
punte sal saamgetel word om te sien wie die wenners is.
NOU is die tyd om al te begin oefen sodat julle lekker
fiks kan wees vir volgende jaar. Vir al die inligting
oor die Vodacom Ultra Challenge besoek die volgende
website: www.poweradeultrachallenge.co.za
(Website gebou deur yourcity. co.za) Inskrywings
word oor die Internet hanteer, so skryf sommer vandag
in.
Op 1 Oktober die jaar het die Klerksdorp Marathon Klub ‘n vyf kilometer pret draf gehou en die geld wat hulle ingesamel het, plus nog so bietjie uit die Klub se kluis, het hulle aan KANSA geskenk.
‘n
Tjek ter waarde van R1500 is laas Woensdag deur die
Voorsitter van die marathon Klub, Pieter Labuschagne aan
Moira Fourie van KANSA oorhandig.
Die afgelope naweek het Orkney golf klub gasheer gespeel aan ongeveer dertig proffessionele spelers in Suid Afrika. Reeds na die eertse dag op die baan, kon die “Pro ’s ”nie genoeg uitgepraat oor die goeie diens van die bestuur en die hoë gehalte van die baan nie.Richard Lion, een van die Pro ’s, het die aand met die prys-uitdeling gesê: “ The quality of a club is not only determined by the quality of the greens and fairways, but also by the quality of service and hospitality, and Orkney Golf Club surely excels in all these aspects.
” Die klub se spelers is die geleentheid gegun om oor twee dae saam met die pro ’s te speel, en die ondervinding word deur almal wat betrokke was hoog op prys gestel.
Plaaslike besighede en veral Klerksdorp se Munisipaliteit het hulle gewig agter die toernooi gegooi om seker te dat dit ‘n groot sukses is. Orkney se baan is verlede jaar as 56ste in die land aangewys deur Golf Digest, en ons hoop dat hierdie toernooi hulle op die leer gaan laat verbeter in die jaar wat kom. Toney de Ponte van ‘Daily Fresh Housewife Market ’ in Klerksdorp en sy span het na die eertse dag se spel met die prys as beste span weggestap.
You
want to give your kids the best you can. And one of the
best things you can do is start a savings plan that will
grow with your child. Even on the tiniest of budgets.
Here are the options.
How much
should you invest to give your child a better future?
Would you believe R150 a month can make a difference?
Yes, it can - your
R150 a month can grow into R32 280 in only 10 years! Now
imagine what you can do for your child's future if you
could save for twice that long! Education
is one of the most lasting but expensive gifts you can
give your child. A public school education could cost
from R3,500 a year in Grade 1 up to R6,000 a year in
Grade 12. Starting a three-year university degree this
year could cost R75,233, and a three-year Technikon
diploma as much as R53,322. These
figures will just increase. So the earlier you start
planning and saving the better. But how much should you
save? And what are your options? If
you save R150 per month from up to your child's 10th
birthday, you’ll receive a full R232 280. If you start
saving on your child’s 5th birthday,
you’ll only receive R7, 808 when the child is 10. That
is, if you get a 10% return on your savings, which is
annually added to your investment. One
of the best ways to save for your child’s future is
with an education policy. If something should happen to
you, the built-in life cover guarantees that you
continue saving. Such a policy will typically cost R150
a month. And you'd have to commit to a minimum savings
period of five years. Another
savings option is a unit trust fund. Your investment is
linked to the performance of a number of shares on the
stock exchange. This means your money may grow a lot
faster, but you get no guarantees. For most unit trust
investments, you'll need at least R200 a month. If
you are already stretching your budget, but you're still
determined to start saving for your child, you can open
a savings account at some banks for as little as R50, or
at the Post Office for as little as R20. All you need to
start is the minimum amount and your ID book or birth
certificate. You
decide how much you can afford to save each month.
The bottom line is that it is not so much the amount you can afford to save, but the decision to start saving right now that is important. The sooner, the better.
