Flowers, silver cutlery, and a box of tissues adorn the spotless white tablecloth. The family says grace and "bon appetit!" before tucking into their vegetables.

International Persecution -- Ray, Mon, 13 May 2013, 16:16:07 (NoHost/69.199.125.229)
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike were raising their five children in the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg, when they decided to remove their children from the public education system. In 2006, the Romeike's illegally withdrew their children from the German public schools system and began homeschooling. Believing that the public education system was undermining their Christian faith, the Romeike's began breaking the law and teaching their kids at home. By exercising their natural rights, the Romeikes were fined over $10,000 by the German government and at one point their children were forcefully removed from their home. In 2010, after getting their children back, they chose to flee Germany and move to the United States.
Finding freedom in the US, only to be challenged again, this time by the US
Upon arrival in Tennessee, the Romeikes were granted asylum. A federal judge rebuked the German policy and ruled that the Romeike's had a reasonable fear of persecution for their personal beliefs if they returned to Germany.
Nothing much was said about the issue until the Obama's Administration's Department of Justice got involved.
Attorney General, Eric Holder came out and opposed the federal court ruling, siding with the German government. He pleaded that the Romeike's be denied their asylum. Holder believes that governments may legitimately use force and authority to make parents comply with government-sanctioned schools.
With statements like these, the United States, once a beacon for liberty, is now endorsing force and mandates in regard to education. The right to homeschool and teach one's own children is a fundamental human right is now at stake. It doesn't matter what beliefs each family has. It's liberty that matters. According to Holder, that liberty should be supervised by the federal government.
The US government does not like home schooling either and are now seeking to deport the Romeikes

Remarkably, Roger insists he doesn’t regret picking those winning numbers. Neither does he regret the hotels, holidays, cars and champagne.
‘I was living the millionaire’s lifestyle — everyone who wins the Lottery should do that,’ he says. ‘There’s no point entering otherwise.’
Even, it seems, if you lose everything as a result.

Yo BT. Commemorate Maggie's death?? Commemorate her life surely? I would think that 10m illegal immigrants is overstating the situation slightly. What I do know is that areas of Joburg are overrun with Nigerians, Hillbrow is populated largely by Zimbabweans. I would guess that a fair proportion of these are illegal. Best estimate is approximately 3m+ illegal Zimbabwe immigrants. SA authorities recently attempted to register the illegal immigrants and offered them 4 year residence visas. Only about 250 000 responded.
But illegal immigrants are a major problem in SA and are the major source of crime. SA locals will literally put the knife in at any opportunity because these illegals take their jobs. The police have little sympathy for them either.

10-million illegal immigrants living in South Africa -- 300,000 to 400,000 Chinese immigrants, Sat, 13 Apr 2013, 0:47:17 (2.220.70.115.static.exetel.com.au/115.70.220.2)
In the last five years, more than 6,000 Chinese shops have popped up in every dorp of South Africa, effectively forming the country’s biggest-ever chain store. And, say retail experts, it amounts to a largely unlawful enterprise that threatens to destroy local commerce and cost the taxman billions.

South Africa Spits Back -- dfdfdfd, Sun, 31 Mar 2013, 3:32:18 (2.220.70.115.static.exetel.com.au/115.70.220.2)
Roger Law, the co-creator of Spitting Image, heads to Cape Town to meet South Africa's satirical puppets. What happens when he meets the rubber version of Nelson Mandela?
In a small studio under Table Mountain a dedicated group of puppeteers are keeping the satirical flame burning for South Africa. With rubber versions of their politicians. old and new, and the backing of one of the country's finest cartoonists Zapiro, they are making waves for the establishment. But how easy is this to do in a democracy that is so new? Comedy can be tricky in a country where race and politics are so highly sensitive.
Roger Law goes on set to talk to the writers and the performers of ZA News, South Africa's puppet show, as well as stand up comedians. He finds out what can - and can't be - said on air and on stage, and what really upsets the country's political elite. A portrait of South Africa through its evolving satirical scene, with a democracy only now finding that perhaps it can laugh at itself.

Chinese -- Roger, Thu, 28 Mar 2013, 8:09:06 (125-238-117-52.jetstream.xtra.co.nz/125.238.117.52)
Hannes Engelbrecht
The new colonials have arrived.
Without as much as a whisper the South African government allowed at least 400 000 Chinese to swamp the country during the past six years. Chinese migrants, mainly from the overpopulated Fujian province in China, have been shipped off to South Africa at an alarming rate. Spreading all over the country…..
Even in the remotest parts, between 6000 and 12000 “Chinese shops” sprang up – indicating that the phenomenon is well-orchestrated by both China and South Africa.
Prof Colin McCarthy, retired from the University of Stellenbosch, first noted the “Chinese colonization”. Says Prof McCarthy: “All the evidence indicates that the project to set up such an extensive network of Chinese shops, all following the same pattern and targeting the same market, was well researched, well planned, well organized and well financed”.
The young, unemployed couples from Fujian province settled into the network – pushing up cheap Chinese plastics, products and clothing into a lucrative retail chain far bigger than Pick n Pay, Pep Stores or Edgars. And to make matters worse: most of the Chinese shops are not registered and do not pay any taxes in South Africa; not even import or export duties – in fact, China put its clothing exports to South Africa to R11,3 billion in 2010; while South Africa’s failing statistics put the Chinese clothing imports at only R6,7 billion! It means that in one single year R4,6 billion worth of Chinese clothing entered South Africa illegally.
A South African Revenue Services employee spilled the beans on a small Chinese shop in a rural area where, when raided by SARS, R1,2 million was found under the counter.
Janet Wilhelm of the HSRC observes: “It is amazing how so many people can enter a country seemingly unnoticed!” She quotes the SAPS Aliens Investigation Unit as saying “many Chinese travel to South Africa via Mbabane, Maputo and Maseru from where they enter South Africa with false identity documents by road”.
Patrick Chong, chairman of the Chinese Association of South Africa, says: “Many would enter on tourist or student visas then simply stay”.
Researchers of Noseweek followed the Chen family where one pioneer settled illegally in South Africa, spreading within four years to 172 members of the family scattered across Lesotho trading Chinese products.
What is even more mind-boggling and sinister is that the South African ANC government officially proclaimed Chinese as “honorary blacks”, making them exempt from affirmative action, quotas and Black Economic Empowerment.
The whole “Chinese” experiment has been carefully planned, criminally enhanced, and no doubt… vast sums of money are involved, lining the pockets of very influential South African politicians.
It is ironic that while populists like Malema and Shivangu walk about claiming “land and minerals for the South African people”, the ANC government has allowed at least 400 000 additional Indians and Pakistanis, at least 400 000 Chinese and at least 10 million illegals from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Mozambique, Angola and now also Zambia into the country…

I know it has gone by but why did RGM have to spoil the news clip of the new Pope. I was enjoying it until I saw that ugly head. I thought he had a travel ban clamped on him. He has no right to be respected in the Christian Faith. I guess just after another soft loan from the church again ! This puts a damper on the respect I have for the faith, to allow him to enter the hallowed city after all his evil genocide.
Oh well, I hope the new Pope has a better run this time.

Two hundred and seventeen US dollars – the equivalent of Ł138. That is all that remains in the public account of the Zimbabwean government, a bewildered finance minister has announced.
"Last week when we paid civil servants there was $217 [left] in government coffers," Tendai Biti, the finance Minster, told journalists in the capital, Harare, on Tuesday, noting that some of them have healthier bank balances than the state. "The government finances are in a paralysis state at the present moment. We are failing to meet our targets."

In the book "Eat Right For Life" I present data to show that foods circa 1920 had twice the amount of copper in them as they do today. Modern agriculture is to blame for this. Therefore my thesis is we don't have too much copper in our diet, we have too little. I also point out that copper is critically necessary to make an enzyme called SOD, that protects cells from oxidative free radical damage. Alzheimer's is thought to be oxidative damage to the brain.
There is also an account of the discovery of the cause of "Falling Disease" that was plaguing cattle in Australia in the 50's. It was eventually found to be due to a lack of copper in Australian soils, causing heart disease in cattle.

How important is it, if you can contact Eddie he is sure to know the history of dairy farming in the area.
"Now and then, a well-tended dairy farm with neat fencing and fire-breaks comes into view. All are white-owned. So why have they been spared? Probably because the owners are in cahoots with Mr Mugabe. One such is Nicholas van Hoogstraten, a British property tycoon, accused of hiring hitmen to murder a business rival in London in 1999, but cleared on appeal. Now a member of Zanu-PF, he owns (amongst other properties in Zimbabwe) a 500,000-hectare game farm, once one of the most famous cattle ranches in the country. We drive past for mile after mile of it along our route. He is said to be close to Zimbabwe's president and to contribute handsomely to party funds.

Hey Pete, does the name of the new detective Vineshkumar Moonoo sound better?
"Hilton Botha being in charge of the investigation into world-famous athlete Pistorius came into doubt after charges of attempted murder were reinstated against him in relation to a 2011 shooting incident, when he and two other police officers allegedly fired shots at a minibus."
A news report stated that the shots were fired downward through the top of the door, so Pis did have time to put his prosthetics on. Pis said he was scared because he was vulnerable without them on.

Air Rhodesia Flight 827
Umniati
Occurrence summary
Date 12 February 1979
Type Civilian airliner shoot-down
Site Vuti African Purchase Area
16°25′S 29°26′ECoordinates: 16°25′S 29°26′E
Passengers 55
Crew 4
Fatalities 59
Survivors 0
Aircraft type Vickers Viscount
Operator Air Rhodesia
Registration VP-YND
Flight origin Salisbury
Last stopover Kariba
Destination Salisbury
Air Rhodesia Flight 827, the Umniati, was a scheduled flight RH827 between Kariba and Salisbury that was shot down on 12 February 1979 by Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) guerrillas using a Strela 2 missile soon after take-off. The circumstances were very similar to that of Air Rhodesia Flight 825 five months earlier.
The flight's departure from Kariba had been delayed, so it had not climbed over the lake to get above the ceiling of shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles before heading for Salisbury.[1] The aircraft was damaged by a Strela 2 missile and came down in rough terrain in the Vuti African Purchase Area east of Lake Kariba.[2] None of the 59 passengers or crew survived.
Following the second incident, Air Rhodesia modified the exhaust pipes of their Viscount aircraft to reduce their infrared signature, and painted the aircraft with a low-radiation paint.[1]

DECIDE FOR YOURSELF !!! -- nevermind, Sun, 10 Feb 2013, 23:36:03 (CPE-120-145-23-195.lnse2.wel.bigpond.net.au/120.145.23.195)
1. Back in 1961 people of colour were called "Negroes".
So why / how can the Obama 'birth certificate' state he is
'African-American when the term wasn't even coined or used at that time?
2. The birth certificate that the White House released Lists Obama's
Birth as August 4, 1961, and Barack Hussein Obama as his father.
No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his
father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "
Ken ya , East Africa ."
This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Ken ya
Did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27
Years after his father's birth. How could Obama's father have been born in a
Country that did not yet exist? Up and until Ken ya was formed in 1963, it
was known as the " British East Africa Protectorate".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_
3. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed
Place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynaecological Hospital".
This cannot be possible, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were
called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home",
respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity &
Gynaecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How
can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth Certificate dated 1961
if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?
http://www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx
4. Why hasn't this been discussed in the major media?
Perhaps a clue comes from Obama's book on his father. He states how proud
He is of his father fighting in WW II. Unfortunately, Barack Obama's "birth
certificate" says his father was 25 years old (or 27 as the case might be
above) in 1961 when he was born. That should have put his father's date
of birth approximately 1936. Now we need a non-revised history book-one that
hasn't been altered to satisfy the author's goals-to verify that WW II
was basically between 1939 and 1945. Just how many 3 year olds fight in wars?
Even in the latest stages of WW II his father wouldn't have been more than 9?
Does that mean that Mr. Obama is a liar, or simply chooses to alter the
facts to satisfy his imagination or political purposes?
5. Wedding ring is in for repair
Since when does a plain wedding band need repairs, along with your
watch, for a whole month?
Another piece falls into place. In a press conference last week Obama was
not wearing his wedding ring nor was he wearing his watch. When noticed,
his staff said his ring was out for repairs.
No reason was given for the missing watch.
So it's just a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing
jewellery during the month of Ramadan?
Can't possibly be that, because although he hasn't gone to a Christian
church service since entering the White House, we know he's a committed
Christian "cause he said so during his campaign!"
......... and we've got a bridge to nowhere to sell you also.
This is the same president that spent the Christmas holidays in Hawaii
to avoid religious obligations as PRESIDENT at the White House.
His children do not receive Christmas presents.
Let's just face the facts and quit trying to distort the truth, America has a
Muslim for president in the White House, and he has no knowledge of
American history.
DONALD TRUMP YOU MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING ....!!!!!

Imagine a world without wild elephants. For some in the frontline of animal preservation it’s not a difficult image to conjure. In Africa, one veteran wildlife campaigner believes it could be a reality within the next 20 years. The reason? A rampant, illegal trade feeding China’s voracious appetite for ivory. The Asian giant’s burgeoning middle class can’t get enough of the stuff so Africa’s elephants are being hunted and slaughtered like never before. Foreign Correspondent goes undercover to expose this shameful, devastating trade.

A TRUE CHRISTMAS STORY -- Ray, Wed, 06 Feb 2013, 0:29:14 (NoHost/69.199.125.229)
True story from a Durban North resident, who had the followingexperience just before Christmas:.
I experienced an interesting episode this holiday. My gardener of many years was away on his regular 3 weeks leave, and as I didn’t feellike explaining the lawn-mowing process to a prospective temporary stand-in gardener, it meant that I had to operate the lawnmower myself.
One Saturday, dressed in my oldest PT shorts and T-shirt, I wasmowing the lawn on the pavement. As so often happens – when you don’t need any
help, then all the help in the world normally arrives. By the time the 4thone arrived with his hands in his pockets and asked for a\“piece-job” for the day, I decided to have a little fun, and the conversation went almost like this:
He : I know of the lawnmower and I can cut the grass
Me: Sorry man, I don’t stay here.- I only work for the people staying here
He : Hau… These people they employ the whitey for the garden !
Me: Yes, and they don’t even give food at lunchtime
This was end of the conversation. He took out his packet of
cigarettes and offered me one. I took one and he lit it for me. I took a few
puffs, nipped it and put the stub behind my ear.
He walked away, shaking his head, and his last words to me were :
“Hau…the ANC has fucked up everything!”

...........................................................
While in China, an American man is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom the entire time he is there.
A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with bright green and purple spots.
Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results.
The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says, ‘I've got bad news for you, you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here in the US , we know very little about it.’
The man looks a little perplexed and says, ‘Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, Doc.’
The doctor answers, ‘I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your penis.’
The man screams in horror, ‘Absolutely not! I want a second opinion!’
The doctor replies, ‘Well, it's your choice. Go ahead, if you want but surgery is your only option.’
The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll know more about the disease.
The Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims, ‘Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Vewy ware disease.’
The chap says to the doctor, ‘Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what can we do? My American doctor wants to cut off my penis!’
The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs. ‘Stupid American docttah, -always want opawate.
Make more money dat way. No need amputate!’
‘Oh, thank God!’ the man exclaims.
‘Yes,’ says the Chinese doctor. ‘Wait two week. Faw off by itself...!’

40 years of marriage..
A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'
The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband
The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.
The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.
The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.
So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92 years old.
The moral of this story:
Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember fairies are female.....

Sex is one of Nature's great mysteries. It is complicated, sometimes risky and inefficient compared to the way microbes reproduce. Microscopic bugs just split in two and even some female lizards have decided that sex with males is not worth the bother. The abstemious lizards just clone themselves.
But so many organisms - from humans to seaweeds - do... ¦ Show more

The Lisbon Appointment -- oswqkfu, Thu, 17 Jan 2013, 2:48:57 (2.220.70.115.static.exetel.com.au/115.70.220.2)
From today's featured article
The Lisbon Appointment was the decision in 1965 by Britain's self-governing colony in Rhodesia to open its own diplomatic mission in Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, which would operate independently from the British embassy there. Britain objected to the proposal when it was put forward in June 1965, and tried unsuccessfully to block it. The affair came amidst the larger dispute between Whitehall and Salisbury about sovereign independence for the colony. Whitehall insisted that there could be no independence before majority rule, which was opposed by Rhodesia's mostly white government. Rhodesia's staunch opposition to immediate majority rule and its disillusionment regarding Britain propelled it towards Portugal, which governed the neighbouring territories of Angola and Mozambique. Portugal, while insisting it was neutral regarding Rhodesia, officially recognised Harry Reedman as "Chief of the Rhodesian Mission" in September 1965. It was careful to avoid provoking Britain, omitting the word "diplomatic" from the titles given to Reedman and his mission, but the Rhodesians still regarded themselves as victorious. Less than two months later, Rhodesia unilaterally declared independence. (Full article...)

IRISH CHRISTENING -- Ray, Sun, 13 Jan 2013, 0:16:11 (NoHost/203.7.175.48)
Paddy's pregnant sister was in a terrible car
accident and went into a deep coma.
After being in a coma for nearly six months,
she woke up and saw that she was no longer pregnant.
Frantically she asked the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replied, "You had twins, a boy and a
girl. The babies are fine. However they were poorly at birth and had to be christened immediately, so your brother Paddy came in and named them."
The woman thought to herself, 'Oh suffering
Jesus no; not me brother. He's a clueless idiot! '
Expecting the worst, she asked the doctor,
"Well, what's my daughter's name?"
"Denise." said the doctor.
The new mother was somewhat relieved and thought
to self, 'Wow, that's a really beautiful name.
I guess I was wrong about my brother. I really like Denise.'
Then she asked, "What's the boy's name?"
The doctor replied: "Denephew."

Little Johnny again... -- James, Fri, 11 Jan 2013, 2:26:18 (CPE687f74dfc59e-CM00252e2694a6.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com/174.119.162.111)
..........................................................
Another Little Johnny joke... I think this one could easily be adapted to fit almost any place.
...........................................................
Little Johnny & the Premier of Ontario.
Premier Dalton McGuinty was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes.
They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked the Premier if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'.
So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.
'No,' said McGuinty, 'that would be an accident.'
A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.'
'I'm afraid not,' explained McGuinty. 'That's what we would call great loss.'
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. McGuinty searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand...In a quiet voice he said: 'If the plane carrying you and Mrs. McGuinty was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'
'Fantastic!' exclaimed McGuinty. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?'
'Well,' says Little Johnny, 'It has to be a tragedy because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss...and it probably wouldn't be a fucking accident either'.

Little Jonnie -- Ray, Thu, 10 Jan 2013, 22:23:51 (NoHost/203.7.175.48)
Little Johnny was in a Birmingham classroom bored to the back teeth on a Friday afternoon, and the teacher decided to have a game for the kids to get them thinking.
"Okay class. Now I'm going to say a famous quote, and the first person to tell me who said that quote, can have Monday off." said the teacher.
'Who is credited with writing the phrase,’ To be or not to be, that is the question’?" asked the teacher..
Little Abdul at the front of the class called out.........'Shakespeare'.
'Well done!' said the teacher, 'You can have Monday off."
'No thank you Miss. I am of Arabic origin and it is in our culture to study as hard as we can, so I will be here on Monday studying hard.'
'Well okay,' said the teacher. The next quote is, "I had a dream!"
Little Hassan also at the front yelled out..... "Martin Luther King!"
"Well done!" said the teacher. 'You can have Monday off"
"No thank you miss, I am of Pakistani origin and we also
do not take time off school. Education is everything to us, so I will be in on Monday studying hard too." said little Hassan.
Then she heard a voice from the back of the classroom, "F***ing Asians!"
"Who said that?" yelled the teacher in an angry tone.
"Enoch Powell!" yelled little Johnny, "See ya Tuesday!!!!"

..........................................................
RAY: I'm thinking you'd look great in the kilt! If I'm an honorary Boer, you are an honorary Scot. Drollest comment I had when wearing my kilt was from an Irish lass who was in a lift with me. On the way up she asked what tartan I was wearing, "Ancient Macdonald - my Mother's tartan." I replied. Just before she got off the lift she turned, smiled, and said, "Macdonald? I expect you're a quarter pounder then!"
Lifing the kilt by a female is OK, but (as I think Jimbo would confirm) if you are male, don't mess about; why do you think kilt wearers have a skian dhubh (knife) in their stocking? A wee bauchle like Hank lifting a kilt would be sure to get a blade between the ribs!

WHAT DO DEER THINK? -- Ray, Sun, 06 Jan 2013, 5:09:54 (NoHost/203.7.175.48)
Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan, was being interviewed by a French journalist and animal rights activist.
The discussion came around to deer hunting. The journalist asked, 'What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, 'Are you my friend?' or is it 'Are you the one who killed my brother?'
Nugent replied, 'Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French.'
The interview ended at that point.

The Sun has taken out an advertisement in an Argentinian newspaper reasserting British sovereignty over the Falklands, after Argentina's president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, published an advert in the UK press accusing Britain of colonialism.
The Sun advert, published in the English-language Buenos Aires Herald, which has a circulation of more than 20,000, tells the Argentinians to keep their "hands off" the islands, which the two countries fought a war over 30 years ago.

The department has also said a “high level of identity swapping” was discovered last year.
Since June 2012, the fingerprints of almost 3,000 visa applicants have been cross-checked against the UK immigration database.
As a result “numerous incidences of identity swapping” had been revealed and people who had “adverse immigration histories in the UK” had also been identified.

The South African President, Jacob Zuma, has wrapped up the ANC's week-long conference with a speech promising to crack down on corruption and end the infighting within the governing party.
He has come in for a fair deal of criticism himself though, not least because of the amount of money spent on his residences and his four wives.
Most prominent among them is Bongi Ngema Zuma - she is the wife who accompanies the president on trips abroad.
And she has been active in promoting her foundation that fights diabetes.
At her presidential residence in Pretoria, the BBC's Lerato Mbele asked what her duties entailed.

Wovets -- RedUncle, Thu, 20 Dec 2012, 14:35:26 (unallocated.star.net.uk/89.206.151.116)
Read this today and it made me laugh as it was posted in the context of "why has mugape not been keen to wear a uniform?"
Edgar Tekere in his book A Lifetime of Struggle gives a detailed account of Mugabe’s attempts to lead the struggle in the teeth of resistance from the military commanders in the field. In Mozambique, Mugabe and Tekere were under virtual house arrest.
“I then taught him how to handle weapons,” Tekere recalls, “and to keep them always within reach. “Yes, up to that time he had not learnt to use a weapon.”
“There were other examples of his lack of appetite for war,” Tekere noted. They had difficulty getting him into uniform. Inspecting the graves after the Chimoio massacre, he was conspicuous without a uniform.
“Here he was, surrounded by the rest of us dressed in our military attire, wearing a suit,” Tekere recounted. “It was most incongruous.”
“Tongogara and I decided he must have a uniform and arranged for one to be made for him but somehow this never happened. He was really a civilian bureaucrat. He would sit in his office waiting to receive military briefings from me and never took the initiative himself unless pushed. He did not know how to salute.” Ndabaningi Sithole described him as a good civil administrator.
The respondant then said that he had not read anywhere where Tekere or Tongogara had been involved in direct contact with the Rhodesians. It is so true, and why? Because so few, if any, wovets actually survived a direct contact with the Rhodesians!

No Hubbard was not Cecil Rhodes, Ceil Rhodes was due for reincarnation 1997, and should only be 15 years old today according to the natural cycle of rebirth. However Hubbard was the brother of Rhodes, strange enough.

Hubbard firmly believed he was Cecil Rhodes in his previous life -- trtrtrtr, Sat, 15 Dec 2012, 0:36:22 (2.220.70.115.static.exetel.com.au/115.70.220.2)
The Rhodesia Story
This was told to me by the brother of the guy who was in Rhodesia with Hubbard in 1966. As to whether it is totally true or not, I will never know, but the two brothers were very dour, humourless management consultants from Manchester. I cannot think of any reason to doubt their story.
As you know, Hubbard was usually very down on anyone who thought they had been a famous person in a past life. Except him, of course.
Hubbard firmly believed he was Cecil Rhodes in his previous life. In fact, one of the main reasons he went to Rhodesia was to try and discover where Rhodes had hidden his treasure. (This treasure hunting was a theme through Hubbard's later life).

Wealthy investors lured with new visas -- pedr, Mon, 03 Dec 2012, 2:49:53 (2.220.70.115.static.exetel.com.au/115.70.220.2)
They will have to invest in state and territory government bonds, Australian Security Investment Commission-regulated managed funds that invest in Australian assets, or in unlisted private Australian companies.
"Where visa holders choose to invest directly into Australian companies, these companies will need to meet certain qualifying business standards," he said.
Visa holders will be able to extend initial four year visas by additional two year periods.
They will be able to satisfy the residence requirement of 160 days in Australia at any time throughout their four year visa.

How to tell a positive HIV story in Africa -- gyhhq, Sat, 01 Dec 2012, 1:25:47 (2.220.70.115.static.exetel.com.au/115.70.220.2)
But what does the HIV story look like as reported from the place where it is a daily reality? Last month my photographer colleague Frank Miller and I travelled to Zambia, 15 per cent of whose 14 million people are HIV positive, to try to find out.
What you cannot avoid noticing in Lusaka, the country’s capital, are the billboards that line all the main roads. Then you notice the hand-painted adverts and slogans on the walls. Their messages are stark.
“Beating. Rape. Defilement” – referring to men, often HIV positive, who have sex with their daughters, stepdaughters and granddaughters – “Men!!! Don’t just watch. Stop the violence.”
“When pregnant, get tested and treated for HIV.”
“Child sexual abuse. Stop it now.”

It is called the double Irish Dutch sandwich and, as David Bradbury told the conference, you just have to Google it and you get a YouTube video explaining how it works.
Here a bit of it.

Penguin Humour (sick) -- Pam, Tue, 27 Nov 2012, 18:12:19 (d226-57-25.home.cgocable.net/24.226.57.25)
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica ?
Where do they go?
Wonder no more ! ! !
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
OK - so that is not really funny! :(

Drink Right For Life -- Ray, Mon, 19 Nov 2012, 15:22:21 (NoHost/69.199.125.229)
Roger according to the ratebeer website the ingredients for Castle are:
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
First brewed in 1889.
Ingredients: Barley malt; Maize; hops.
I am "amazed" that they used maize in castle, never drew my attention. Note maize is the second ingredient so hopefully it is still predominantly barley.
The best ingredient for beer from a nutritional standpoint is barley. The reason, barley is grain that has the highest silica content. Silica is good for skin, bones, and ligaments. (See "Eat Right For Life" R. Schep)
That is why rugby players drink beer. Only cucumbers have equivalent silica content. If women don't like putting beer on the around eye areas then a slice of cucumber will do the job. Beer brewed with wheat I would not even put down my toilet.

I purchased some Castle the other day here in Tauranga, New Zealand.
But it didn't taste the same, maybe it's me but I am sure that Castle used to be brewed with maize, malt, hops and water.
Now it is brewed with barley, malt, hops and water.
It was a nice drop, is it me that is mistaken?
Just did not seem to have the distinctive flavour that I remember.

Japan -- Jimbo, Fri, 16 Nov 2012, 0:31:32 (CPE-120-145-24-172.lnse2.wel.bigpond.net.au/120.145.24.172)
The Japanese are a very evolved race.
Have you ever read in the newspaper that a political Leader or a Prime Minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan?
Have you ever come across news that the Ayatollah of Iran or the King ofSaudi Arabia or even a Saudi Prince has visited Japan?
Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay.
Japan has put strict restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims.
The reasons are:
A) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.
B) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.
C) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan.
D) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.
E) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language.
F) According to Data published by the Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs, Muslims, who must follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry their Religious rituals in their Homes.
G) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of Embassies in Islamic countries.
H) Japanese people are not attracted to Islam at all.
I) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign Companies.
J) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or Managers sent by foreign companies.
K) In the majority of companies it Is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job.
L) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist and even in the era of globalization they are not willing to change their Muslim Laws.
M) Muslims cannot even think about renting a house in Japan.
N) If anyone comes to know that his neighbour is a Muslim then the whole neighbourhood stays alert.
O) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan
P) There is no Sharia law in Japan.
Q) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim then she is considered an Outcast Forever.R) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at TokyoUniversity of Foreign Studies, "There is a mind Frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it."
S) Freelance journalist Mohammed Juber toured many Islamic countries after 9/11 including Japan. He found that the Japanese were Confident that Extremists could do no harm in Japan.
My personal estimation of the Japanese has risen Dramatically!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

• At the Senior Citizens Center, they had a contest the other day. I lost by two points. One of the questions I missed was: Where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently the correct answer was Africa. The other question that I missed was, “Name one thing commonly found in cells.” It appears that Aboriginals was not the correct answer either.
• A new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from there after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.
• You can say lots of bad things about paedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.
• A buddy of mine has just told me he's getting it on with his girlfriend and her twin. I said, "How can you tell apart?" He said, "Her brother has a moustache."

Happy birthday Pete, and get as much enjoyment as possible from being alive.
Nobody is dying of AIDS in Swaziland, or anywhere else, but what the hell, I am sure the poor will appreciate any medical assistance they can get.
When our varsity went on a snorkeling spearfishing camp in Mozambique on the coast north of Xai-Xai in 1970, the medical students set up a clinic in the camp and every morning the strandlopers would come for treatment of their ails. I needed treatment myself when one of the students forgot to remove the tip of the speargun when returning in the surf, and swam into me.
Ouch. I had to swim with a trail of blood through shark infested waters to get to shore.
Nevertheless I am happy to announce, I made it.

Clutchplates -- Carl Schmidt, Tue, 06 Nov 2012, 10:38:37 (41-133-2-244.dsl.mweb.co.za/41.133.2.244)
Oh well, at least i'm a "Clutchplate", that's up near the front of a vehicle and not a "Diff", because that's at the rear end. You see without the "clutchplate" the "diff" can not function, yet a "clutchplate" can function without a diff.

Yo BT. Not to worry everyone. Clutchplates are a dying and increasingly ridiculed race. That they will dissappear is a certain fact.It's already started with their rugby team, the Blou Balle,who are history.

Ray, you obviously have a very short memory. Must be a syndrome called "C R A F T". I can take a joke, believe it or not, however, this has spilled over from the last episode. I had accepted the fact that we are two totally different individuals and I had acceted that we had aggreed to disagree and moved on and made a point of "NOT" commenting on any of your mates posts, in order to make sure that we do not cross each others paths. I had also accepted that the two of us can never and will never sit around the same fire. Yet your mate will persist in having a go at me for reasons only known by himeself. If he was this so called "Superior Being" that is so highly educated and master of the Engish langauge, why is it that he can not leave it be? like I had. I had reached the point of no return and due to the arrogant nature of your mate, no matter what, he is under the impression that he is of some superior race and being. Well I have news for both of you. Life don't work that way. I suggest you take a broader look at the entire picture before you tell me to jump into the Apies River. Your mate, must get over himself. You see Ray, you guys claim to be masters of the Enlish langauge, yet if you read my initial post you will note that I wrote and, I quote what I wrote "I will stop short in telling you to". Now if you guys where the masters of the English langauge, as you's claim to be, then it will mean exactly what is says, "STOP SHORT". It does not mean that I have sworn at the man, so please get your facts straight.

TerryK Midland schools -- Johnny B (Memory test ??), Sun, 04 Nov 2012, 15:06:00 (NoHost/101.103.24.47)
This was a bit before my time, I was only a 6 year old nipper then, but yes I do remember ! John Charters was farming just down the road from us, but when the war got bad he moved on. His daughter worked with us at DWT and I have since heard from her after she moved to NZ. Helen was working with Jackie Kinnaird (who were assaulted last week) Kevin Conway is still around,(didn't know Chris, Charlie was the old man)and his younger brother Rob also went to Gwebi with my brother. Sadly Rob was killed in a motor accident. Clever little bugger, flew planes and was a switched on farmer. The old man I think is long gone.
Midland schools...There was a continued mutual agreement amongst the three Gwelo schools and Jameson for A level courses right up to 1974. GFS had the best Science Block for the A level students, so the other schools came out to GFS and the other subjects the guys used to catch the bus to either Chaplin or Thornhill. I don't know about Que Que coming through. I wasn't clever enough to do A's !
Regards the diving and swimming, also a little before my time, but I used to watch the girls and give my points according to appearance and figure rather than ability to dive !
GFS never had a decent pool, it was the original RRAF WW2 one and never got upgraded. Swimming for midlands I did all my training at the Gwelo Municipal pool. This was the only sport they never did equipment upgrades on.

JAMESON -- TerryK, Sun, 04 Nov 2012, 12:23:18 (NoHost/95.84.73.236)
Carl & JohnnyB –
Doing time in Bahrain again and picked up on your Jameson exchange. I may have covered some of this before but at the risk of repeating myself –
My final UVI year at Chaplin in 1962 was made much more interesting through the creation of a Midlands VIth form with classes split between Chaplin and Thornhill. Do you know how long they carried on with this arrangement ???
We were joined by Que Que and Jameson pupils – Jameson guys included Bill Smith, Pete Henderson, Dux Santowski, ??? Charters, Jacque Fourie and Ian Raynor (a year behind). Pete and Ian carried on to UCT with me – I would love to know what happened to the others ???
JohnnyB you mentioned swimming – I dived and swam for the Midlands from 1957 to 1960 in both the Federal and Rhodesian championships. Chris and Kevin Conway from Gatooma were in the team at various stages but they went to St Georges (an excellent swimming school under under Father Ross). I think that Kevin went on to the Gwebi Agricultural College. Again – I don’t know what became of them ???
There you go – hoping to make it to the sports bar in time to watch the GP – much more fun with Vettel starting from the back of the grid !!!
Regards to all

Sign of the times -- Johnny B (Last colonial/foreigners post), Sat, 03 Nov 2012, 0:56:30 (NoHost/101.103.24.47)
Ja a bloody shame about the Zim ruins.Even with modern technology I don't think the locals could build it as good as the foreigners who originally built the structure without mortar. (they'll cheat and get experts in) If the locals were this good why didn't they keep building with their own abilities?
Khami was also a left over from the greater Zimbabwe Dynasty also. A place where Ivory, slaves, copper and gold were traded with the outside world. I picked up glass beads amongst the ruins last time I was there.
It was free entrance in the 70's and 80's then they fenced it off and laid claim to it's history. Govt. Twisted the history to suite. Can they explain the reasons why there are Arab dhow(sp) mooring rings on the Lundi river at the Chillocho(sp?) Cliffs. Formally called Clarendon Cliffs.
I bet most local people are more worried about where their next meal is coming from.

Johnny B regardless to mention I saw your post, and my sympathies for your acquaintances.
I read the Wikipedia article on the Zimbabwe ruins and was disgusted with it, it just about stopped short of claiming that the Shona’s built the pyramids also.
I consulted my trusty pendulum and it indicated that Jo Pete had built the Zimbabwe structures, in a previous incarnation, 3 lifetimes before. His name then was Abdul Hakim from Addis Ababa. He mined gold there also.

Carl you will note Jo Pete took a dig at Johnny B and GFS in the line before you.
Johnny B took it good naturedly as opposed to you. So go jump in the Apies River, (now called the Tswanee river?) and float down to Bon Accord where the smell will suit your language.

Whites beaten up inKadoma -- Johnny B (more sad news), Fri, 02 Nov 2012, 14:17:18 (NoHost/101.103.24.47)
Just to let you know that John and Jaxs Kinnaird(sp?) were beaten up by a bunch of thugs this week. The pictures are doing the rounds, a repeat of Bruce Rogers and his wife's situation some years ago. Another good GFS cricketer. Hope they pull through okay.
