    Vakansiedae, reg of weg?Frans le Roux

    DIE vraag oor of Suid-Afrika te veel va-kansiedae het of nie, is n kwessie watsorg vir warm debat.

    Veral sakelui kla dat die baie vakansie-dae inAprilproblematies is, enproduktiwi-teit benadeel.

    Hoekom moet Vryheidsdag en Werkers-dag binne een week gevier word, kort nPaasnaweek?Dit isniesinvolnie.DalkkanVryheidsdag en Werkersdag gekombineerword? was een voorstel.

    Ander mense meen dat dit onnodig is omop n Maandag n n vakansiedag n ekstravakansiedag te h.

    Die Regering kan gerus Paasmaandagkanselleer-dansaldieekonomieniesosleggetref word in die Paastyd nie.

    Verskeie mense wat genader is, is egterbekommerd dat Christelike vakansiedaemag wegval en is ongelukkig dat Hemel-vaartdag nie meer n vakansiedag is nie.

    Ander meen weer dat ander geloofsgroe-pe ook hul vakansiedae moet kan vier endat vakansiedae meer eweredig tussen ge-loofgroepe verdeel moet word.

    Werkers wat op vakansiedae dubbelloonontvang verwelkom di dae en soek selfsmeer.

    Groot fabrieke wat elektriese masjineriegebruik om hulle produkte te vervaardig,word baie negatief geraak deur vakansie-dae omdat die masjiene dan stil staan.Maande soos April is vir die meeste onder-nemings n nagmerrie omdat produksie bytye gestaak word.

    Dit issoortgelykaanDesember,wanneer

    ondernemings lank toe is enbestellingsniegeplaas kan word nie.

    n Finansile rekenmeester by n fabriekin die Paarl s dat April vir hulle nag is.Produksie moet dan beplan word rondomvakansiedae.

    Ons vermy produksie ten alle koste op

    vakansiedae weens die geweldige elektrisi-teitslading wat die masjiene gebruik omweer op te warm nadat dit afgeskakel is.

    Maar werkers kla glad nie - op vakansie-daekryhullediegeleentheidomteontspansaammet familieenvriendesonderomeni-ge salaris in te boet.

    Willow van der West-huize: Ek dink al dievakansie kan maar blywant ons ken dit so.Die meeste van onswerk in elk geval opvakansiedae. Ek sous my gunsteling va-kansiedag is 26 De-sember want dan is alKersfees se kos nogoor. Ek kuier graag opvakansiedae saammet my vriende indienek nie werk nie.

    Ashley Andrews: Ekis tevredemetdiehoe-veelheid dae wat daaris, ons kan lekker rusindien ons nie moetwerk nie. TweedeKersdag is n lekkerdag om te ontspan,naby aan die Nuwe-jaar. Ek geniet dit omsaam met my vriendete kuier op sulke dae.

    Alrich Isaacs: Ek ver-kies dat al die vakan-siedae bly, en anderander gelowe moetook meer vakansie-dae geniet. My gun-stelingdag is Erfenis-dag (Nasionale Braai-dag) want dan steekons n lekker vuurtjieaan en braai n sappi-ge steak.

    Alecia Henkeman:Die belangrikste va-kansiedae vir my isKersfees en Vryheids-dag. Kersfees oor mygeloof en Vryheids-dag waarvoor onsmense baklei het. Fa-miliedag kan maarverdwyn. Ek verkiesom op my vakansie-dae kwaliteit-tyd tespandeer saam metmy babadogtertjie in-dien ek wel nie werknie.

    DETERMINEDpoliceofficersfromGrootDrakenstein apprehended three armedrobbers last week, in real cops and rob-bers style.

    The incident occurred after an armedrobberyatafarminBanhoekneartheHels-hoogte Road.

    Here five armed men held a man andwoman hostage in their homestead for twohoursonTuesdayevening,beforeescapingwith numerous valuables.

    According to Groot Drakenstein policespokesperson, Const Rionel Uithaler, oncethe hostages were released, the man calledthe police.

    A high alert was sent out for patrol vehi-cles in and around the area to be on thelook-out for suspects. The help of theBoland K-9 unit was also called in.

    Earlier the evening, members of GrootDrakenstein police had spotted a suspi-cious vehicle, but, said Uithaler, only onepersonwasinthevehicleandwhenstoppedand searched there was no need to appre-hend the occupant.

    Butwhennewsof thearmedrobberywassentoutonair, theofficers realised that thevehicle in which the suspects had fled,matched the description of the vehicle theyhad stopped earlier that evening.

    The vehicle was again spotted nearBoschendal and when members of the dogunitstoppedthevehicle, threemenjumpedout and disappeared into the vineyards.Another suspect however did not manageto flee.

    Early the following morning, detectiveswere still trying to track down the fugitives.

    They then noticed three suspicious look-ing men near the four-way-stop in Klap-muts. The men were soaking wet and weretrying to hitch-hike.

    When the unmarked police vehiclestopped, the three suspects fled into anopen field. One suspect was quickly appre-hended while another disappeared.

    A third suspect continued running whilea detective gave chase. This chase contin-ued for approximately 4 km, through farmland and even a dam, before the suspectwas eventually apprehended with the helpof passing ADT security guards.

    Three suspects are still at large whilethree suspects appeared in the Stellen-bosch Magistrates Court in connectionwith the incident.

    TheyareSiyaSilombo (22),NdivikeMan-ga (38) and Simion Shalong (23) of CapeTown.

    VERSIGTIG. Motorbestuurders word gewaarsku om ekstra versig-tig te wees wanneer hulle paaie gebruik in nat weersomstandighe-de. Hierdie motoris het hierdie les op die harde manier geleer, toehy verlede week tydens swaar renneerslae beheer oor sy voertuigverloor het op die N1 net buite die Paarl. Die bestuurder was onder-weg in die rigting van Kaapstad toe sy motor tot in die oorkantstebaan van die N1 gerol het. Niemand is in die voorval beseer nie.

    LOCAL lass, MLani Bas-son (32), has been listedas one of 200 inspiringyoung South Africans.

    This comes after the influentialnewspaperMail&Guardiansannu-al list of thecountrys top200youngSouth Africans was recently re-vealed.

    Annually this newspaper com-pilesalistoftheleadersoftomorrow,as well as in many cases, today.These outstanding young individu-als (35 years old and under) from allwalks of life, excel in their variousarenas, such as sports, politics andarts.

    MLani was included in this elitelistofyoungpeople fortheoutstand-ing work which she does amongstdisabled, underprivileged childrenin and around Paarl through horse-assisted therapy.

    This is a unique form of therapywhere interaction with horses isusedtoenhancethequalityandpro-ductivity of the lives of persons withmental, physical, and psychologicaldisabilities.

    MLani has already become well-known in Paarl for this unique formof therapywhichhaschangedmanychildrens lives.

    She has on various occasionsbeenhonoured forherselflesswork,receiving a mayoral award in appre-ciationof service rendered in theSo-cialServicesField,aJetCommunityAward in recognition of dedicationandcommitmentandaRotarymeritaward for services rendered to hu-mankind.

    Having majored in psychologyand art in 2003, she wanted to spe-cialise in art therapy, but did nothave R25 000 for the course.

    Having been an avid horse ridersince the age of three, MLani stum-bled upon equine-assisted therapyten years ago.

    She surfed the internet andhopped onto a plane to EdinburghinScotlandwhereshestartedwork-ing as a volunteer at an equine as-sisted therapy centre outside thecity.

    Her income came from the farmnext door, where she had to cleantwenty stables a day and was re-sponsibleforcheckingaherdofcowsevery two hours during the night forsigns of labour.

    This apprenticeship schooled herfor the future. Today she saves onveterinary bills by inoculating herhorses herself, cleaning and trim-ming hooves and teeth.

    Amado was then eventually bornin 2006.

    Today MLani offers horse-assist-ed therapy to 60 children of the Lig-straalSchool for thedisabled inAm-stelhof. Groups of children are dailytransportedbyMLani toherstableson the slopes of Paarl Mountainwhere theyparticipate inall kindsofactivities related to horses.

    Iamnotoneofthose horseypeo-plewhoareonlyinterestedinthean-imals because of the image theysometimes represent. I see the po-tential of horses and what they canoffer the children.

    In nature, horses are flight ani-mals,buttheyalsohaveanimmensesensitivity and can sense who is ontheir back.

    It is awe-inspiring to see a horsesuchasoldJoseph,wholovestorun,becomemeekasa lambonceadisa-bled child mounts the saddle.

    All my horses are incredible with

    the children. If they seem to be slid-ing off the saddle, the horses willmove with the falling child to stabi-lise it.

    MLani has truly had inspiring re-sults from her therapy. Childrenwhohavetheirentirelifebeenboundto a wheel chair and for whom doc-tors had no hope, now run aroundher stables and saddle up horses.

    She also has to deal with childrenwhohavebeen sexually abused andafter only a few encounters withhorses, these children whose liveshave been devastated, get a newlease on life, becoming responsive,laughing out loud and enjoyingthemselves.

    But being a non-profit organisa-tion remains an uphill battle. It is aconstant worry where next monthsfunding will come from.

    We do apply for a governmentgrant, but this takes many monthsbefore, and if, it materialises. Wethus rely on contributions from thepublic and the support of our fund-raising events. The public can alsobecomeinvolvedwithAmadobyreg-istering us on a My School card atWoolworths.

    MLani can be contacted at 083604 4037 or visit her website, www.amado.co.za,toreadmoreaboutthemagicalworkwhich isdoneatAma-do.

    THERAPY. Trevor Manuel (Minister in the Presidency for the National PlanningCommission) showed a keen interest in MLani Bassons horse-assisted therapycentre, Amado, at a recent function in Johannesburg, where MLani was listedas one of 200 inspiring young South Africans.

  • 6 . Paarl Post Thursday 5 July 2012Opinion Menings

    MY heart is full of mixed fee-lings, one of gratitude and theother of deep disappointment,if not loss.

    I have laboured in this vineyard(theWesternCape)forsome50ye-ars and come to regard the wholecommunity of Paarl, with one ortwo notable exceptions, as a verypersonal blessing. We have someof the finest and most talented pe-ople in the world.

    We not only belong to one ano-ther, but also have an obligationtogether to make this town andothers like itwork for our childrenand grandchildren.

    It could become a model urbansociety with less rancour and mo-reappreciationforthegoodthingsthat we have in common and lessrecriminationaboutapastwecanno longer change.

    Mywife,however,hasremindedmethat Idoa lotof grumbling the-sedayseverythingis always wrong and I must confessthat the answerwould be to turn offthe news.

    Then,whenevery-thing looks bleak, Iget a nice letter fromthe Municipality,from Ester Kearns office whereshe is our Ombudsman. Iwrote toheraboutaproblemmymanFri-days and Tuesdays is having atFairyland and was rewarded witha positive result. It has made MrMagele Fezile Franks life in hisdesperatesurroundings,somuchhappier.

    What has made me much sad-der, however, is that a well-dres-sedmanwalked through thebackdoor the other morning while mywife was busy with breakfast andfeeding the dog.

    She thought he was from theMunicipality, but challenged himwhen she found him in the passa-ge.

    He justbrushedpasther,howe-ver,anddisappearedintotherain.In themeantime,hehad looked inat my bedroom. There, he snat-ched my wallet and cellphone

    from right next to my bed.Fortunately, I was not sleeping

    in it at the time, but momentarilyfetching in the Paarl Post from theverandah.

    The mercy is no one was hurt,butweexpectmore respect for oldage, if not illness, from able-bo-died youngsters who could be do-ing a useful days work, buildinga future for themselves and theirchildren.

    It isno jokehaving to renewcre-dit cards and driving licences, butthe real disappointment is thedestruction of ones confidence inthe community and the future.

    Now, I hear that some folk po-singas indigentor starvingarebegging for money or bread fromcustomers right inside the super-markets.

    Little old ladies inclined to digin their purses for the necessarymight find theyaredonatingmore

    than just alms forthe poor!

    That also appliesto those who waylayheavily laden olderwomen on the wayfrom the shop totheir vehicles.

    Could we notjointly find some

    wayofpromotingsoupkitchenstofeed thestarving,or justpersuadethe trade unions to allow our yo-ung folk tostartdoingcommunitywork somewhere, even voluntari-ly or for a menial wage? Lyingaround the streets and living offeasy pickings is no investment fortheir own lives or our future.

    Sop Mammies could be put incharge of every block, to adviseandassisttheirneighboursandli-aise with donors and the Munici-pality.

    I believe that if the communitywants to heal itself, it must startrightthereinitsownhomes,chur-ches and schools. Self-help is thebestkindofhelp,butthatdoesnotinclude people who are caughthelping themselves.

    P.S. I takemyhatoff to our localpolice for their friendly andprompt assistance.

    Bring on sop mammies

    Koopkrag nou heelwat duurder in DrakensteinEK was verstom om verledeweek in die Paarl Post te lees datkoopkrag nie meer goedkoper isas gewone krag nie.

    Die rede hoekom baie mensedestyds na koopkrag omgeska-kel het, was omdat koopkraggoedkoper was. Dit maak sin,want die Munisipaliteit kry sygeld n maand vroer, en daar isgeen risiko dat mense nie gaanbetaal nie.

    Daar was ook geen basieseheffing, soos met gewone kragnie, so al jou geld wat jy koop-krag mee gekoop het, het vir joukrag gegee

    Van 1 Julie betaal almal die-selfde vir krag en die koste vaneenhede isverlaagvanR1,37naR1,30, maar dit gaan nie ver-goed vir die groot hap wat dieMunisipaliteit in sy eie sak sitvoordat ons koopkrag kry nie.

    As jy die basiese heffing vanR4,26 per dag (BTW ingesluit)bytel, kry jy heelwat minderkrag vir dieselfde geld.

    Voorheen, as ek R600 se kraggekoophetvirdiemaand,hetek438 eenhede gekry nadat BTWafgetrek is. Maar nou kry ek virdieselfdegeldslegs362eenhede- dit is 16,6% minder.

    Dit isookniesomaklikomnetjou stroombreker af te gradeer

    na n goedkoper vlak nie - danmoetdiegeyserendiestrykysterafgesitwordtotMaklaargekookhet, anders skop die krag aan-mekaar af.

    Die Munisipaliteit kon regtigmaar die arm man se belange ingedagte gehou het toe di slimplannetjies aanmekaar geslaanis om hul boeke te laat klop!

    Koopkraggebruiker

    Die munisipale woordvoer-der reageer: Dit is korrek datkoopkrag vir sekere koperstot 16,6% meer sal kos. Dit isegter steeds goedkoper as virgebruikers met konvensione-lemeters.Vir600eenhedesaldie konvensionele gebruikernou R718,64 betaal (R18 of2,7% meer as die koopkragge-bruiker).

    Is asking for help like begging?EVEN in a house where the el-derly pension drawing men andwomenhavefoundrefuge,thereis a great economic divide (seeletter regarding Huis Lizelle inPaarl Post of 21 June).

    The saying living below therailwaylinehasneverbeenmo-re apt.

    Thehaughty fewwhomayha-ve access to funds from friends,family and widows pensionsseem to think that they are ele-vated to a higher status.

    Caterers and companies of-ten have a lot of left over food af-ter their functions.

    Theyhaveinthepastdroppedthose off at Huis Lizelle, kno-wing that there is a need in thishouse.

    Ihaveneverknownanyoftho-se superior persons refusingthe food or suggesting that it betaken to a shelter for the needy.

    Thankfully the Lions organi-sation has given us boxes filledwith grocery staples, washingpowder etc. at Christmas time.

    Havethesepeopledonatedtheirboxes to those less fortunatethan themselves?

    Yes, we can all admit that ourrent is very reasonable, andfrom what I understand it wasthe idea of Mr Tienie Malan toprovideaffordableaccommoda-tion for the elderly. Yes its trueliving has become very expensi-ve.

    Inatownfullofstudentsthereis constantly a shortage of hou-ses to rent which enables homeowners and estate agents tosend the rent sky high.

    Simply a question of supplyand demand, it is business, butto max out the rent of the lessfortunate, is inhumane. For theten more fortunate of us, thereare 20 other people who mayland up on the street.

    Begging isnotonthecards forthese people, they are proud.

    Since when has asking forhelp become begging?

    This wall actually be-longs to the Herberg Ho-tel of which I am thecaretaker. My customersin the rooms at the backof the hotel are unableto open their windowsbecause of the stench.

    THE question of public holidays has arisen again.For many it is a welcome break, while for others it is a cumbersome

    disruption of what should be profitable work-time.Andaccording toeconomiccharts, thenegative impactof theseholi-

    days outweigh the advantages.Firstly, schooling is often disrupted, with an extra school holiday

    given if thepublicholiday falls onaTuesdayorThursday. It isaknownfact that many of our schools are far behind in their curriculum.

    Not to mention the Mondays that get latched onto public holidayswhich fall on a Sunday.

    Then we must not forget the huge economic impact these holidayshave on businesses. The financial loss runs into millions of rands forsome.

    Andon topof it all, SouthAfricahasmorepublicholidays thanmostcountries.

    In short, these holidays are counter-productive for a society in arecession which can least afford time out.

    And does the broad public actually respect and celebrate holidayssuch as Youth Day, Womens Day and Workers Day?

    Now Christian religious holidays are also under the spotlight.Accordingtostatistics,themajorityofSouthAfricansareChristians.

    If religious holidays are added on for other religious groups, it will bea severe blow to the economy.

    So maybe it is time for Christians to do the right thing, and giveup some of their holidays for the good of the country. Surely one cancelebrate Easter without having the Monday off?

    Verhoging van kragtariewe onvermydelikDIE Drakenstein stadsraad hetreeds moeilike besluite geneemoor die gebruik van beskikbareenskaarshulpbronne.Onskannie almal tevrede stel nie en al-mal sal nie noodwendig saam-stem met hierdie besluite nie.

    Die hoofbepalers van elektri-siteitsdiensfooie is nie Draken-stein Munisipaliteit nie, maarwel Eskom en die NasionaleElektrisiteitsreguleerder (Ner-sa).

    As Munisipaliteit word daarvan ons verwag om by hul be-sluite in te val. Dit sluit in dievermindering van die gapingtussen koopkrag en konvensio-

    nele krag.Tenspytevanhierdiebepalin-

    As huidige leidende party vanDrakenstein Munisipaliteit salons die belofte soos aan inwo-

    ners gemaak is, wel gestanddoen om altyd na ons armes sebehoeftes om te sien.

    Ongelukkig het ons in Dra-kenstein die uitdaging van mul-ti-laagfinansies van ons inwo-ners wat dit soms moeilik maakom almal te alle tye tevrede testel en inwoners sal moet pro-beer om kostes te verminderdeur kragverbruik te beperk.

    Geen fondse vir herstel van grondpaaieNA klagtes oor die grondpaaie in Agter-

    Paarl wil die Kaapse Wynland Distriks-munisipaliteit die volgende terugvoeringgee:

    Distriksmunisipaliteite in die Wes-Kaap se paaiepersoneel tree op as agen-te vir die provinsie wat betrek onder-houd van grondpaaie.

    Die provinsiale padnetwerk se toe-stand word elke jaar herevalueer deurtegniese personeel sodat fondse aange-vra kan word vir herstelwerk.

    Die realiteit is egter dat die beskikbarefondse vir paaie ook moet kompeteermet ander behoeftes soos behuising, ge-sondheid en basiese dienste.

    Dit is noodsaaklik om die huidige teer-padnetwerk in stand te hou teen R8,5biljoen per jaar om te verhoed dat dieonvervangbare bate totaal disintegreer.

    Die tweede prioriteit is om te poog omdie groot agterstande wat opgebou hetmet die voorsiening van n minimumgruislaag op die gruispad-netwerk. Die

    betrokke paaie in Agter-Paarl, is n jaargelede van n nuwe laag gruis voorsien.

    Die derde prioriteit sal wees om diebestaande geteerde padnetwerk aan tevul met nuwe teerpaaie as daar nogfondse oorbly, maar dit is baie duur.

    Die gruispaaie vertoon redelik tot goedin vergelyking met die meeste andergruispaaie in die Provinsie en problememet rygerief word hoofsaaklik toegeskryfas buitengewone nat toestande ont-staan.

    Waar swaar renbuie uitgesak, het isdit onmoontlik om die padskrapers da-delik op elke pad te kry.

    Die gewone skraapsiklus vir die Wel-lington, Paarl, Stellenbosch en Fransch-hoek se landelike gruispaaie is gemid-delde elke agt weke deur twee padskra-pers. As die begroting dit toelaat, wordselfs na ure gewerk.

    DiePaarl-takvanRawsonhet onlangs die Bill RawsonVoorsitterstoekenning ge-wenvirdie franchisewatdiebeste diens lewer, en goeiewerks en -klinteverhou-dinge bevorder.

    Ek het as jong meisie opdie ouderdom van 16 beginwerk by OK Bazaar. Ek hetverskillende vakansiewerkeaangepak - ek dink ek wastoe al reeds n entrepreneur,hoewel ek dit nie besef hetnie.

    Nadat ek getroud is, hetek en my man verskeie be-sighede gehad - van restau-rante, tot hardeware wat ncourier, kwekery, troetel-dierwinkelsowelas n staal-besigheid ingesluit het.

    Ons het ook ons eie eiendomsportefeuljegehad - dit is waar my belangstelling in diekoop en verkoop van eiendomme begin het.

    Ek het besluit om die eiendomseksamente doen sodat ek die bestuur van ons porte-feulje kan hanteer.

    My pa was destyds by n Rawson-agent-skap en hy het vir my laat weet dat die Paarlnie n tak het nie.

    In 2005 het sy die Rawson-tak geopen indiePaarlensedertdiennognooit teruggekyknie.

    Volgens Lizette is die Paarlse eiendoms-mark steeds sterk en kopers weet wat hullesoek: Die aanvraag in Paarl is hor as dieaanbod en ons sukkel om vir almal huise tekry.

    Paarl is gewildbystedelingewatbuitediestad wil woon. Ons het die skole, natuur-skoon en ho lewenskwaliteit hier.

    Alhoewel ek van die Oos-Kaap kom eneers gedink het hierdie is stad, bly dit steedsplatteland vir die stedelinge.

    VolgensLizetteisRawsonandersasanderagentskappe omdat jy as eienaar in-koop in

    The cold months bring a surge in household energy costs an increase of up to 15%: You begin to switch on space heaters Your house might not be insulated - heat escapes through the ceiling and through

    gaps in windows and doors You take extended baths You cook for longer periods to prepare stews and other soul-warming favourites You run additional appliances such as tumble dryers to dry clothes.

    Winter-wise electricity Advertorial

    What can I do with 1 kilowatt hour?

    Why do I nd winter energy costs expensive?

    Your cut-out-n-keep road map to smart energy savings when its cold outside.

    We can feel it in the air the rst little nip telling us that winter is around the corner. But getting ready for winter doesnt have to mean heating up your electricity bill. Be winter-wise during these tough economic times with this step-by-step guide on how to become electricity smart and save. Lets start our trip and travel question to question, answer by answer .

    Remember, lowering your energy costs and saving electricity requires a combination of two simple decisions:

    Switch off all appliances and lights you do not need and are not using.

    Switch to new, energy ef cient technologies throughout your home.

    Visit www.eskom.co.za/idm for more information.

    500 to 750 kilowatt hours (kWh)

    Immediate steps:

    Lower the thermostat on your geyser to 60C, cover it with a geyser blanket and insulate the water pipes. The most energy-hungry appliance, the geyser is responsible for up to 39% of monthly electricity bills. Consider replacing your geyser with an energy ef cient alternative like solar geyser or heat pump.

    Keep warm this winter by dressing appropriately, use blankets, hot water bottles and insulate your home. Hot beverages will go a long way in keeping you warm. Get your winter kit on, no need toswitch on.

    In the event that you do switch on, keep it energy ef cient. We recommend that you use heaters with a built-inthermostat and a short warm up time. Consider if the heat required is to project directionally (like a fan heater orair-conditioner) and nally, which option will be the safest.

    Insulation is one of the most important solutions to improving the energy ef ciency of your home. Insulated houses stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This keeps ambient temperature in the home constant. An insulated room requires 51% less energy to heat up, while warmth generated by heaters is more effectively retained and does not escape. Insulation reduces the need for space heating and uses less energy.

    How many kilowatt hours would the average household, a family of four, use in an average month?

    Homelight & homepower tariffs from 1 April 2012 (excl. VAT)

    Energy charge* [c/kWh] (incl. environmental levy charge of 2c/kWh)

    Block 1(350 - 50 - 600 kWh) 122,21

    (* Based on current Eskom tariffs)

    The less you use the lower your tariff please see the inclining block tariff rates below:

    Chippas - just the place to let your hair downLise Beyers

    WEhaveallheardoftheeverpopularGu-gulethuhotspot,MzolisRestaurant,buthiddenonourdoorstep,withinMbekwe-ni, lies just as vibrant a rural restaurant,Chippas Place.

    Andat thehelmof this restaurant is localentrepreneur,ChippaMlata.HereinMbek-weni he has managed to create a popularhang-outforlocalswheresafetyandsecuri-ty is the name of the game.

    Mlata, born and bred in Mbekweni, firstsetout in the1990sestablishingcellphoneoutlets out of containers.

    He then saw the potential of a restaurantin Mbekweni, to offer the community a safeand friendly environment in which to enjoythemselves.

    So on 1 December 2007, Chippas Placeopened its door just off Maqhina Street.Likemostbusinesses, itstartedoff humblywith a small butchery and eating section.

    ChippaspopularitysoongrewandMlatarealised that his business had space for

    growth.More and more people

    were coming to my restau-rant because it is safe andit has a nice vibe. I had toextend the facilities to ac-commodate more peopleand I also discovered thatin the whole of Mbekwenithere were no conferencefacilities.

    As finances becameavailable,Mtalaexpanded,slowly but surely buildingon more venues at Chip-pas, aswell asanupstairs conferenceareawith its own entertainment area.

    But he did not stop there. Hand in hand

    with conference facilitiescame the need for accom-modation. So Mlatas wife,Gladys, now runs a bedand breakfast from theirhome which is withinwalking distance of therestaurant.

    I would like to see moretourists visiting Chippastohaveahands-onexperi-ence of what township lifeis like. Oftenpeople thinkthat only bad things hap-pen here, but at Chippas

    peopleget together toenjoythemselvesandjust have fun.

    At Chippas the public choose their meat

    at the butchery and there are grillers whobraai it for them in the many blazing fire-places right around the venue.

    They can then choose from traditionalside dishes such as samp and pap, but sal-ads are also available. African cuisine canalso be enjoyed. Live music and DJs seeto the entertainment over weekends.

    Mtala does not take any nonsense fromdrunkenness and disorderly behaviour.

    He employs security personnel and noweapons or any type of drug is allowed onthe premises. Those who disobey are red-carded and are thereafter not even allowedto buy meat at the butchery. Car guardsare also at hand to safe-quard vehicles.

    Chippas is truly a spot which deservesa visit to enjoy the vibe of the township.

    Dit is belangrik om te onthou dat swartekonomiesebemagtiging (SEB)oormeerasnet eienaarskap en grondbesit gaan.

    Volgens Giliomee is Vinpro in die prosesom n volledige databasis te skep van alleSEB-inisiatiewe omdat daar tans net be-perkte inligtingbeskikbaar isoordievorde-ring.

    BIBC strategy to retain industry skillsTHEBuilding IndustryBargainingCouncilWestern Cape has announced the launchof its skills data-base, a strategy designedtoretaintheskillsofthoseemployeesconsi-deredtobeunemployedwithinthebuildingand construction industry.

    With an annual trade turnover of up to45%, the need to maintain this intelligenceis critical.

    The data-base will go live by the end ofJune and is a first of its kind for the indus-try.

    This essential tool is designed to helpcombat the cyclical nature of the buildingandconstruction industry,a trendthatad-versely affects the demand for labour.

    This industry cant afford to lose its skil-led labour force during a downturn period,asoncetheindustrystartstoexpandagain,the critical skills base will be required onshort term notice, says Arnold Williams,Secretary for the Building Industry Bargai-ning Council (Cape of Good Hope).

    The entire data-base comprises close to500 000 employees records, dating back to1983,andistheresultofyearsofITdevelop-ment.

    Wewillmonitortheusageofthedata-ba-se to establish trends, which in turn willprovideuswithabarometeroftheindustry.

    The valuable information capturedwithin the data-base is available, free ofcharge, toall compliant employers toensu-re that they have access to the skills thatare lacking at any point in time and from

    which the industry as a whole can benefit.We have on average about 800 compli-

    ant employers, at any given time, and weare once again, rewarding those employersthatsubscribe togoodcorporategovernan-ce, said Williams.

    It therefore, goes without saying thatnon-compliant contractors will be unabletoaccess these critical skills andwill there-fore be at a disadvantage.

    The data-base will be comprehensive fo-cusingonall artisanaswell as semi-skilledtrades.

    In addition to these, other employmentcategories such as drivers, general wor-kers, labourers and cleaners will be inclu-ded. The details of between 8 000-10 000employees,whoareconsideredtobeunem-ployed over a rolling 12-month period, willinclude name, trade category, address andcontact telephone number.

    TheonethingthatCouncilwillnotbeableto confirm is the competency of the indivi-dual.

    Compliant employers will have their re-quirements e-mailed to them as soon asthey make the request online, concludedWilliams. Once the service goes live, allcompliant employers have to do is to log onto the BIBC website, select the Labour Bu-reau tab and follow the relevant instructi-ons. If you are thinking of building, ensurethat your contractor is compliant with theBIBC by logging into www.bibc.co.za orphone 021 950 7400.
