It's less than a month to go to the annual BirdLife South Africa Birding Big Day on Saturday 26 November. This is a fun, yet competitive day for South Africa's birdwatchers, while at the same time raising much needed funds for the organisation's important bird conservation and bi rd species moni tor ing work. Al l birdwatchers, both beginners and competitive twitchers, can participate in this exciting event. So put aside your cell phones for the day and listen to tweets and twitters of a different kind in support of a worthy cause! There are three basic categories for Birding Big Day: the Open category that caters for serious birders who get teams together and go birding for a 24-hour period, counting all the birds they see within a 50 km radius; the Southern African Bird Atlas Project 2 (SABAP2) category, the information from which is very useful for conservation planning and climate change studies; and the Garden Bird category. BirdLife South Africa would like to encourage all teams and individuals who enter the Garden Bird category to register with the MyBirdPatch project. You can register athttp://mybirdpatch.adu.org.za as an observer and submit your list online. MyBirdPatch, a project of UCT's Animal Demography Unit (ADU), in collaboration with BirdLife South Africa and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), is an initiative to capture bird lists from small, local patches to monitor bird population changes on a fine scale. It is about birding in your own comfort zone: your garden, your neighbourhood, a local park or wetland, a golf course, etc. If you do not have a lively bird population already thriving in your garden, you still have time to create an ideal habitat for many species by getting a suitable bird feeder or bird bath, as most garden birds appreciate the basic things in life: food and clean water. Identifying the new visitors to your garden and sculpting it over time according to the needs of your feathered friends by planting fruit-, flower- and berry-bearing plants and growing indigenous trees will give you a great deal of
p l e a s u r e . A n d remember, the wider the variety of plants and habitats you can provide, the more birds of different species will visit!

Moet dit nie langs viswaters
waag sonder lisensie nie
Always on duty making Xstrata a safer place. See more about the Xstrata function that tipped the charts last week. This and
all the mining news highlights of 2011
will be in the Mining and
Industry Pages on 24 November 2011.
57 Visstokke en sewe nette is oor twee weke gekonfiskeer by damme in die Lydenburg- en Badfontein Omgewing. Beamptes van die Mpumalanga Parke en Toerisme Agentskap was baie in hul noppies oor die groot fonds. Dit is onwetting om sonder ’n hengellisensie vis te vang. Boonop sit baie hengelaars nette uit en vang klein vissies wat nog nie die wettige groote bereik het nie. Dit beteken die vis word uitgehaal voordat hulle kan aanteel. Mnr. Elias Mkhabela en Themba Mzimba van die MTPA het saam met William Mapanga die stokke en nette verlede week ingeboek
by die SAPD. Die hengellisensies is vrylik bekombaar by hengelwinkels en by die MTPA (Visserye). Hulle is van plan om hierdie Feesseisoen die bewussyn rondom hengellisensies op te skerp en gaan streng optree teen hengelaars wat die wette verontagsaam. Hengelaars wees gewaarsku, dis nie die moeite werd om sonder ’n R20 papiertjie langs die viswaters te sit nie. ~ Deur Michelle Boshoff.

DikketjieSO, Malema is vir 5 jaar geskors. Halleluja!Maar moet nie te gou bly word nie, hy kan nog appeleer teen sy skuldigbevinding deur die ANC.Maar die ANC outoppies het gepraat. Lekker hard. Mooi so manne.Wat ookal gebeur, dit is onwaarskynlik dat die seuntjie tol los gaan kom. Sy doppie is geklink.So ook dié van sy gabba Floyd. Dit alles terwyl daar ’n reuse magstryd binne die ANC se jeugliga is. Ek dink die chaos en die agteraf messtekery gaan onder die spulletjie erg toeneem. Dit is natuurlik strategies baie goed vir die ANC, want nou kan die outoppies hulle volle aandag aan die opvolgstryd vir Zuma gee, of hulle gewig agter hom ingooi, sonder dat die kinders hulle aandag aftrek. Ons weet ook dat die verdeeldheid binne die ANC groot is, so
hierdie outoppie stryd gaan groot wees.Die jeugliga sal egter nie weggaan nie. Hulle leiers word gekies op die basis van hoe groot sy bek is en tot hoe ’n mate hy militant kan wees en kamma namens die armes kan praat.Dit is die ANC se groot Waterloo. Die gaping tussen ryk en arm vergroot nog steeds en nie net, soos die jeugliga dink, omdat die privaatsektor hulle base obsene salarisse betaal nie, wat wel waar is. Die gaping word groter omdat die ANC staatsdiens uiters korrup is en besaai is met o n b e v o e g d e m e n s e . Tr a n s f o r m a s i e , arbeidswetgewing en BEE het die land ongelooflik beskadig. Die staatsdiens is vol kaders wat so vet is dat hulle nie meer in hulle Mercedesse pas nie. Hulle word bose salarisse betaal en steel vir byvoordele, sodat daar geen geld is vir infrastruktuur en dienste (wat die enjinkamer van die ekonomie is) nie.Minimumlone is onbekostigbaar vir klein besighede. So diegene wat bereid is om vir biejie minder te werk, kan nie in diens geneem word nie, terwyl ons weet elke Rand wat in die arm
gemeenskappe ingaan ’n Rand is wat nie nou daar is nie.Ek beplei t n ie hongerlone nie , maar werkgeleenthede sodat meer kapitaal in arm gemeenskappe invloei. Beter dienste, minder staatsamptenare, minder base in die staatsdiens, meer werkers en die indiensneming van kundige outoppies in poste wat sleutel is tot dienslewering. Dit sal die ekonomie stimuleer!Solank die ANC hulle besig hou met die herontplooining van skelms en konsentreer op individuele mag, verloor die hele kollektiewe gemeenskap, ryk, arm, wit en swart.Ons massas verstaan nog nie dié beginsels nie. Hulle het nie tyd nie, almal wil gou ryk word en hulle dink hulle kan. Hulle sal nie. Die rykste lande in die wêreld het sy bedelaars en arm mense. Hoekom? Dit gaan oor die uithaal van korrupte leiers en ’n goeie, misdaadvrye werketiek. Dit blyk onhaalbaar in Afrika en Suid Afrika te wees. Die ANC kon na 17 jaar min regkry en het waarskynlik meer verwoes.Verspeelde geleenthede!

Religious viewsEugene Hurter from Lydenburg writes:I recently visited a little church here in Lydenburg, it is a tiny church of historic significance as it was the first church in this area. It dates back to 1800.On the one wall was a very large poster size photo of what could have been “Nagmaal” it shows wagons encircled around the new church as it is at present, and the thought came to me: If it were possible by some means of going back in time and I were to walk among these wagons and speak to the people (most of them) about the gospel as we understand it today, I think I would have been condemned as a heretic, especially if I were to tell them I am holy, and that I am a son of God .I say this with the conviction of my own experience in the type of “Religious” environment in which I grew up. Having been indoctrinated with the fear of hell if you sin, and having to do and not do all sorts of things, because God is just waiting for you to do something wrong and He will zap you for it. Can you imagine if I were to tell one of these people that God does not punish us, and that Jesus took all the world’s punishment on Him and that God loves us no matter what we do, and that we have everything that we need. It is just a matter of receiving it by faith. (There is so much more I could say about this )
Churches are praying for revival. It is not revival we need, it is revelation the revelation of what Jesus did for us on the cross. The unmerited free gift of salvation.It saddens me to think there are still some people today like me who as a young boy would sit in the front row of the church, wide eyed and in terror of going to hell if I sinned, did not pray, go to church or pay my tithes etc.When asked when will the end come, Jesus said in Mat 24:14: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come”. What makes me think that we are living in the end times is because this gospel, the true Gospel of salvation, is being preached more and more even by those who would have been damned as heretics back then, were they to have preached what they preach today. It is ironic that the last book of the Bible is Revelation, not revival, because that is what the world needs - revelation, and then we will have all the revival we can handle.

Ons sit tans hier in die dorre Transvaal. My ma sê dis warm, my ou pêl sê dis warm en die kraai sê dis warm. Nou vertel almal wat weet hoe bly is hulle oor ou Tafelberg wat ’n plekke in die wêreldson raakgewen het. Een van die wonderwerke van die wêreld.Toe sê ek vir Myself, “Myself, hoekom moet ek hier in die dorre Transvaal sit, as almal om Tafelberg kloek?”Maar Myself het toe nie vir Myself ’n antwoord nie. Want daar is baie redes. Myself het in die eerste plek nie geld nie. Myself het in die tweede plek nie tyd nie. Toe droom Myself gisteraand van mnr. Wynand Schutte. Hy het my afgerig vir ’n sangkompetisie in standerd vier. Myself het toe baie mooi suiwer sopraan gesing. Maar nou sing myself bietjie meer alt. Mnr. Wynand het so driftig die FAK Tafelberg-liedjie vir my geleer. En Myself het so lekker gesing. Ek sing toe die liedjie gisteraand drie uur vir Myself. Myself ly aan insomnia. Maar Myself ken nie meer die woorde nie. Myself stap toe na die klavierstoeltjie en kry die FAK. “Waar die kop van Tafelberg deur die wolke steek, tot waar die Limpopo-stroom deur die bergwal breek; waar oor uitgestrekte veld rol die ossewa: Daar is my Vaderland, my Suid-Afrika, daar is my Vaderland, my Suid-Afrika.”Myself het toe die woorde gesing. Vra my maar, Myself onthou nog die wysie. Maar daar is nou baie mooi liedjies van Tafelberg, Kurt Darren sing dit, liedjieboer Lucas Maree en Johannes Kerkorrel (Mag hy in vrede rus) het dit gesing en elke ander Afrikaanse sanger. Myself wil ook Tafelberg toe. Dat ek onder sy wit kleed kan inkruip as die mis laag hang. En met die kabelkarretjie oor die wolke sweef. Myself, sê ek toe vir Myself, dis ongelooflik hoe mense kan ophol gaan as hulle dink hulle gaan iets verloor. Myself was bloot geskok toe Myself hoordie kompetisie is al drie jaar aan diegang. Want My Mense het noueers wakker geskrik. En amperword Tafelberg toe nie ’n Wonderwerkievir die res van die wêreld nie. Maar vir ons hier in diedorre Transvaal sal dit altydmagies en pragtig verrys. Ditsal ek altyd vir Myself sê.

Address by Anthony Benadie MPL, DA Provincial Leader, to the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature, on 8 November 2011, during the debate on the Annual Report of the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) for the 2010 / 2011 Financial Year. At the advent of the current term of office in 2009, the Department of Local Government and Housing was renamed and transformed into what is today known as COGTA (Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs). At the time, it was said that COGTA would bring about a renewed focus on governance and revitalise the viability of municipalities and the cooperation between municipalities and provinces in an attempt to bolster service delivery.However, today – over two years later – the state of local government in Mpumalanga reflects a state of little cooperation, non-existent governance and factionalised traditional affairs – undoubtedly Hon Speaker this department is failing in its mandate.I wish to focus my attention on – specific aspects:Section 139 (b) interventions: Councils under
Administration:The period under review saw an alarming and worrisome amount of municipalities in the Province being placed under administration, through the invoking of Section 139 (b) of the constitution. No less than an unbudgeted R20 million was spent on the salaries of administrators and their support staff, excluding any other expenses associated with the intervention. These administrators were tasked with a non-negotiable mandate of 'turning' the concerned municipalities around. Their task was to put in place sound financial management systems, administrative systems and to bring about large scale stability in these municipalities. However, it is shocking, that of the five municipalities placed under administration, four of them received disclaimers from the auditor general, proving beyond any doubt that the R20 million intervention in those municipalities was a farce that failed to yield the intended result.So too, as we speak, Thaba Chweu, despite being under administration three times, is today
literally bankrupt, to the extent that they can't afford a R1200 battery to keep the lawn mowing tractors of Graskop going. In short, Hon Speaker, the ANC does not have the leadership or ability to govern this municipality. The state of the Department of COGTA, and the state of municipalities in this province remains a cause for serious concern.
The skills shortage, chronic corruption,

the quality of government they have.
If the people of this province want a better life,
they must vote for a better life.

Summer hits for this week
Warm someraanbiedinge hierdie weekAmateur and more seasoned tree-spotters will
welcome this latest addition to the What's that? series. Accessible and straightforward,
this book groups trees together into their broad families, based on the features that
related species share. This allows readers to narrow down their choices to a few likely possibilities before tackling the detail of
species identification. The book offers simple, authoritative text;
side-bars with interesting additional information; multiple full-colour
photographs, including key diagnostic
features; and an illustrated glossary of
plant parts. This helpful
introduction should provide an invaluable entry point for anyone with an interest in the
trees of the region.
Did you know that there was English
in South Africa before the English?
Have you ever wondered where the
words 'tsotsi', 'larney', 'gogga' and 'chakalaka'
come from? Do you know that the first sentence uttered by a South African in
New on the book shelves
English was 'Coeree home go', by a kidnapped Khoikhoi man in 1613?
South Africa is home to several unique varieties of English. This entertaining
book traces the evolution of the language in the country, looking at the diverse
forms of English spoken here, where they come from and how they fit into the world
spectrum of English. Humorous and informative, it outlines the distinctive
features of South African English and is packed with examples and explanations of
common expressions, slang, pronunciations and typically South
African words and phrases, including 'bunny chow', 'just now', 'veldskoen',
'sundowner' and, of course, 'eish'. The text is enriched with up-to-date, often hilarious illustrations of key concepts.
SY was 'n wit, Afrikaanse Satanis, wat as kind met Satanisme grootgeword het, vertel Adele Neveling, gasspreker by die NG Suid-gemeente se Oorwinningsfees die afgelope naweek.Die verwarring het gekom omdat hul Christen-predikant ook die leier van hul Satanistiese kerk was, vertel sy. “Ons het “bad” dinge gedoen, bloedoffers gebring, moord-opdragte ontvang – maar dis nie waaroor ek kom praat het nie – want ons is hier om fees te vier.” Die ommekeer in haar lewe het gekom nadat sy die opdrag ontvang het om Pastoor Mark Bredenkamp, wat aktief onder Sataniste bekeringswerk gedoen het, te vermoor. “Ek was “chicken” en het besluit om sy tienjarige seun Seph te vermoor. Ek het hom uit 'n vol kerk ontvoer en met my “dagger” aangehou. Maar ek het nie rekening gehou met die krag waarmee God werk nie, “ kom dit van 'n borrelende Adele.Mark, wat besig was om te preek, het die boodskap gekry dat sy seun ontvoer is – met die opdrag om God met sy kind te vertrou. Hy het klaar gepreek en toe na sy kind gaan soek. Hy het Adele tromp-op gekonfronteer met die woorde: “Hoe DURF jy 'n kind van God se dienaar aanval!”. Daarna het hy haar met sy arms ontvou en gesê: “Ek het jou lief met die liefde van Jesus.”
Adele Neveling by die NG Suid-Gemeente se
Oorwinningsfees die afgelope naweek.
“Dit was die eerste ware liefde wat ek ooit ontvang het,” erken Adele. En dit was die begin van haar genesingspad, haar skoonmaakpad en haar nuwe identiteit .Sy het baie geleer uit die moeilike pad wat sy geloop het, vertel Adele. “Die duiwel verkondig twee leuens oor homself – dat hy nie bestaan nie en dat hy sal verdwyn as jy hom ignoreer. Hy floreer in die kleinste dorpies (in 'n dorpie soos Parys is daar nege Satanistiese kerke) en hy gaan ook kerk toe en ken die Bybel.”“Ek het geleer dat God soms wag vir 'n moedelose hart. Ek het ook geleer dat God nie geintimideer word deur omstandighede nie – want Hy is God. Wanneer jy vra vir uitkoms, verander niks in jou omstandighede nie, maar jy ervaar Hom. Hy wil jou ken en Hy het alles vir jou edoen. Alle wapens is reeds vir jou gegee.”Die antwoord, glo Adele, lê in jou identiteit – wie jy in Christus is. As die duiwel jou wil aanval moet jy weet wie jy is.Sy het ook geleer, vertel sy, dat God die God van berge en van dale is. Hy beweeg ook waar dit klam en donker is. Sy het Job 38:1 aan haar lyf gevoel: “En toe het God vir Job geantwoord uit 'n woeste storm.” Moet nooit die krag van die lewende God onderskat nie, is haar deurleefde raad.

Dr. Marietjie Malan skryf:Nog ’n suksesvolle Aucamp Arabier opedag is op Saterdag 5 November 2011 op die plaas Natalshoop gehou.
Mr Peter Harris (General Manager, Afgri Sustainability from Afgri Centurion, made a special visit to Lydenburg last week to hand over a box of necessary food and other items to Duncia Safe Haven. Under his initiative, Afgri employees h a v e b e e n c o n t r i b u t i n g a n unperishable item to a box marked
Afgri lends a helping hand to local charity
for donations every month. Employees had the opportunity to nominate a charity of their choice to receive the box of goodies. Duncia Safe Haven in Lydenburg was very excited to learn that they were nominated. Mr Harris came through from Pretoria for the hand over. Mrs Tienie Nel from Duncia would like to thank Afgri and their employees for the contribution.

Gasspreker Hanneke Scheffer doen ’n praktiese demonstasie.
Ongeveer 45 perdeliefhebbers het met verwondering die Arabierperde besigtig, toe hulle een-vir-een in die ring op die maat van musiek hulle grasie en vurigheid ten toon gestel het. Die hings Ahsom was een van die hoogtepunte en hy het baie potensiaal gewys om nog verdere opslae in die skouring te maak. Verskeie maatskappye het hulle produkte uitgestal en besonderse dank moet aan Pfizer Dieregesondheid gegee word vir die donasie van die koeldranke vir die dag. Verskeie besighede, plaaslik en van Gauteng, het hulle produkte ten toon gestel. Die gasspreker, Hanneke Scheffer, het met ’n praktiese demonstrasie aan die toeskouers verduidelik hoe om ’n perd voor te berei om optimaal in verskeie dissiplines te presteer. Sonder die toewyding, voorbereiding en lekker worsbroodjies van Richard en Henri Aucamp en die stalbestuurder Charl Roux, sou die dag nie so ’n groot sukses gewees het nie. Wel gedaan aan almal wat ’n inset gelewer het.
WHEN jump starting a car it's important to remember one thing - match the positive cable with the positive battery outlet and vice-versa for the negative.If you match them incorrectly the consequences can be quite dire, as two US motorists found out.The incident occurred in South Carolina as Jeep owner Andrew Jernigan connected jumper cables to his friend Delaney Mills' Volkswagen Golf.Mills had stalled in the street and Jernigan hooked up the cables incorrectly as they attempted to jump-start the Golf's battery.The damage from the mishap resulted in both vehicles being written off.Marc Coty, a friend of the hapless pair, commented that the damage was so severe they were unable to remove the cables and were left to watch as both vehicles were engulfed in flames.Coty explained: "While attaching the jump cables to the batteries of the cars, they accidentally crossed the wires, attaching the positive cable to the negative terminal on the battery and vice versa."After Andrew started his car up, the rubber melted off of the jump cables, making it impossible to remove them from the batteries of the cars. The
How not to jump start your car!battery of Andrew's Jeep began to smoke," he said.Coty added: "While calling 911 to report the case to the fire department, the battery caught alight. The fire began to spread very quickly across the entire engine of Andrew's car.”Coty said they were wary of causing an electrical fire and so did not risk pouring water onto the two
vehicles."Within the 15 minutes that it took the firefighters to get to the scene, the flames had engulfed about three-quarters of Andrew's car and the flames reached probably 10 feet (3m) in height," he added.Wheels24.co.za

YOU can forgive the Ducati guys for getting a bit hyped up - the centre-piece of their stand at the EICMA motorcycle expo in Milan, which opens to the public in November, is the company's most ambitious streetbike yet, a big twin that, if Ducati's claims are to be believed, is going to make litre-class four-cylinder superbikes look silly. And this on top of the most successful year in Ducati history, with 42 000 motorcycles sold and an increased market share in difficult economic conditions. Ducati's claims for the all-new Superquadro engine of 143kW at 10 750 revs and 132Nm at 9000rpm (making it the most powerful production twin yet) are matched by a quoted dry weight of just 164kg - ready to go, with a full tank of fuel, the 1199 Panigale reportedly tips the scale at just 188kg. That's a power-to weight ratio of 760kW/ton (comparable to a Formula One car!) on a street-legal motorcycle. It's housed in an aluminium monocoque frame (Ducati's first) with a suite of electronic rider aids that includes a 'fly-by-wire' electronic throttle, a new sports anti-lock braking system, traction control, adaptive electronic suspension, an electronic quick-shifter, and a race-derived engine braking control (electronic valve lifter) that controls rear-wheel slides on the overrun. Even the colour liquid-crystal instrument panel display changes to suit the rider's environment. The 1199 Panigale (the name derives from Borgo Panigale, the Bologna suburb that is home to Ducati) will be available in three variants: the standard Panigale, which will sell in Europe for R145 000, the Panigale S at R195 000 and the Panigale S Tricolore, in a special red, white and green livery to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Italian flag in 2012, which will cost R226 500 in Europe. The Ducati 1199 Panigale will be released in South Africa towards the end of the first quarter of 2012. SPECIFICATIONS: Engine: 1198 liquid-cooled L-Twin. Bore x stroke: 112 x 60.8mm. Valvegear: DOHC with four desmodromic overhead valves per cylinder. Power: 143kW at 10 750rpm. Torque: 133Nm at 9000rpm. Induction: Electronic fuel-injection with four 67.5mm throttle bodies. Ignition: Computer-controlled digital transistorised with electronic advance. Starting: Electric. Clutch: Hydraulically actuated multiplate wet clutch. Transmission: Six-speed constant-mesh gearbox with final drive by chain. Front Suspension: 50mm Marzocchi inverted cartridge forks with hard-anodised

IN addition to moving the brand further upmarket with a model above the Insignia saloon, Opel CEO Karl-Friedrich Stracke has voiced his desire to bring back two of the company’s sportiest-looking models of yesteryear: the Manta and the GT.While Opel’s work on a premium model that will slot into the range above the current Insignia is currently under way, of far more interest is the company CEO’s desire to reinvent a brace of sporty models.In a recent interview with German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, Stracke stated, “I can easily imagine a car similar to the Manta but with modern technology and a new design”.Released in 1970, the rear-wheel drive Manta was perceived to be a dynamically and visually dramatic departure from the firm’s more run-of-the-mill offerings at the time and a foil to the iconic Ford Capri. Later B and B2 series models saw the Manta make a name for itself in motorsports, most notably in rally-homologated Manta 400 guise in the early ‘80’s.Stracke, who was a Manta owner himself, pointed out that Opel gathered many
fans and built a strong reputation in motorsports thanks to models such as the Manta. He also stated that he could “certainly imagine” a reborn version of the company’s striking 1960’s GT – not a re-hash of the Lotus E l ise-a l ike Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220.Such a model, if
given the green light, could lift a number of visual and technological cues from the company’s Flextreme GT-E Concept. This concept was revealed at last year’s Geneva Motor Show and a range-extender hybrid that incorporated a small-displacement petrol unit augmenting a lithium-ion battery-fed electric motor. carmag.co.za

Astra OPC set to redefine the hot hatchWATCH out world! Opel has released the first details and images of its fearsome Astra OPC super hatch. Mere weeks after the three-door GTC model was shown at the Johannesburg international auto show, Opel has released the first official pictures of its new hot hatch to top the Astra hatchback model range.Powered by a two-litre turbo engine with direct petrol injection, this Astra’s output is quoted at 206kW/400Nm. This is also the fastest Astra cooked up by the Opel Performance Centre yet - it's capable of 250km/h. This OPC’s chassis was tuned for performance, the work of several laps of the Nürburgring race track’s Nordschleife to get the balance just
right. The ride is geared towards optimum lateral dynamics and supreme handling while at the same time being comfortable enough to use as a daily driver. It uses the Opel’s HiPerStrut front suspension to achieve these feats, along with the fully adaptive FlexRide chassis control system which enables the driver to adjust the car’s damping, steering and throttle response to suit their driving style and the prevailing road conditions. This is done using the 'Sport' and 'OPC' button on the dash. Furthermore, the OPC is fitted with a limited-slip differential on the front axle to give the hot hatch even more stability
and solid handling, crucially, when exiting bends at high speeds. As for stopping, brakes have been s u p p l i e d b y B r e m b o f o r unshakeable braking, even in the most heart-stopping moments. Cosmetically, the OPC’s racy edge is accentuated by its redesigned front and rear bumpers and side skirts, roof spoiler and twin, trapezoidal tail pipes. The cabin is decked out in performance seats and a flat-bottomed leather wrapped steering wheel, among other goodies.The high-performance Astra is expected to drift into South Africa in 2012.Wheels24.co.za
Good looking. Let us hope the car will be priced below Lumina (close to, or the same, will not
make sense). Ed.

PLAASLIKE renjaer Steven Colloty, neem op ‘n gereelde basis aan die historiese motorwedrenne op Zwartkops en Kyalami deel.Steven ry ‘n 1971 Datsun 1600 SSS, wat bietjie getoor is. Die enjin is handgebou met ‘n enkel bonokas. Die 316 grade nokas is spesiaal vir die motor deur Van Der Linde Developments gebou. Die enjin het twee dubbelkeel 48mm Dellorto vergassers en ‘n 76mm vryvloei uitlaatstelsel, gebou deur plaaslike firma De Graaf se Dawie Ras.Steven het verlede jaar aan die 3-uur uithouwedren (retro 9-hour) deelgeneem en algeheel sesde geïndig uit 65 motors. Hy het 35ste gekwalifiseer en weggespring en sy pad oopgeveg tot in die sesde plek. Die eerste vier motors was Porche’s en die vyfde motor ‘n Ford GT40. Steven se motor was die eerste viersilinder “saloon” oor die wenstreep na die drie ure.Andre Coetzee

survey to gauge South Africa's collective mental state has found Aeconomic instability to be the leading
cause behind the increase in anxiety and depression in the country.The study, conducted by one of the country's leading distributors of central nervous system medication, Pharma Dynamics, polled 19 psychiatrists across South Africa for their opinion. Ninety-five percent of those surveyed revealed that the current economic environment is creating extreme anxiety and depression syndromes among more people than ever before due to perceptions of threats to their survival.Mariska Fouche, Public Affairs Manager at Pharma Dynamics, says that more South Africans than ever before are being confronted with poverty due to the unfavourable economic situation – even among the well-educated who have the potential to be highly productive. “People are living in chronic fear of lay-offs and/or life-long unemployment. Current figures from the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) show that 1 in 5 South Africans suffer from anxiety and depression, which is set to rise as the economic situation worsens.“If not properly addressed, chronic stress and other mental health problems jeopardise the health and well-being of South Africans and of the nation as a whole.”The survey also supported a figure quoted in a recent SADAG report, which stated that only 27% of South Africans who report mental illness ever receive appropriate treatment, which means nearly three-quarters are not accessing any form of mental healthcare. Fouche says despite significant gains in the availability of effective depression treatment over the past decade, the level of unmet need for treatment remains high. “Nine out of ten psychiatrists, who participated in the poll, confirmed that people living with severe depression delay receiving treatment, in some cases for nearly a decade. They named stigma and the fear of being rejected and treated differently by family, friends and co-workers among the main motivations for postponing treatment,” she says.According to the survey, the incidence of depression still remains high among women, but Fouche points out that this doesn't mean that men do not suffer from depression. “Historically men avoid being labelled and therefore tend to turn towards substance or alcohol abuse to help them cope.”Psychiatrists polled also reported a significant increase in children suffering from depression compared to a decade ago, particularly among children from lower income families. Maternal stress, prenatal smoke exposure and genetic susceptibility may all play a role. Those suffering from depression can contact Pharma Dynamics' toll-free helpline on 0800 205 026, which is manned by trained SADAG counsellors from 8am to 8pm every day of the year.
