BOEREDANSPIONIERS VAN SUID-AFRIKA DEUR ATKV VEREER
Fred en Alida van Zyl doen al vir 25 jaar navorsing oor
tradisionele boeredanse soos die mazurka, kadriel, kotteljons,
outydse wals, seties, polka ens. Die beoefening van die
tradisionele danse het egter jare gelede in onbruik verval. Fred
en Alida het die Tradisionele Boerdansklub van SA gestig om die
beoefening en genieting daarvan te laat herleef. Die ATKV het
die egpaar en danspaar tydens die 21e bestaansviering van die
Tradisionele Boeredansklub van SA vereer vir die bevordering van
hierdie volkskultuurproduk oor 'n tydperk van 25 jaar.
STATEMENT BY THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL ON MATTERS RELATING TO FLATS
The Executive Council of the North West (EXCO) met recently and
discussed, among other things, matters relating to the flats
that were previously owned by the North West Housing
Corporation.
EXCO resolved that the resettlement of tenants will be completed
within three days starting from Tuesday, 4 November 2004. In
this regard, an Operations Office will be opened by Tuesday 4
November 2008 to ensure effective implementation of this
resolution.
Since different tenants require different solutions, EXCO has
categorized tenants as follows:
Indigents
Those who qualify in terms of government indigent policy will
have to complete applications forms for housing subsidies. They
will then be accommodated at Section 38 in Mafikeng. The
provincial government will negotiate with Mafikeng Local
Municipality to make available houses that are ready for
occupation.
In the event that houses are not available or the number of
applicants exceeds available the houses, Cottages will be used
to house indigents. The provincial government has undertaken to
guarantee three months rental for indigents. Mafikeng Local
Municipality will offer to buy Cottages to accommodate indigents
on a permanent basis.
Buying tenants
All tenants who wish to buy on sectional title and qualifying,
will be offered flats at a minimum of R50 000 and maximum of R90
000, and government will pay the difference required by the new
flat owners. Tenants will have to make new applications to buy
and secure finance. Buyers will have to sign stop orders \debit
orders for their occupational rentals.
Tenants qualifying to acquire properties at discounted prices
will be legal tenants appearing on the North West Housing
Corporation rent roll and who do not own another property.
This benefit is only applicable to first time home-owners.
Tenants residing in other flats are also encouraged to take
advantage of the opportunity to purchase.
Tenants who do not meet the above conditions will pay
market-related prices. Rental arrears owed to the North West
Housing Corporation will still be negotiated.
Leasing tenants
All tenants who wish to continue leasing without buying will
have to sign lease agreements with new owners. A list of
qualifying tenants will be compiled and made available to flat
owners. Tenants will be required to sign stop orders for their
rentals
WAY-FORWARD
A team of government officials will be on duty from 8:00 this
morning to assist with registration. Indigents will be
registered, and assisted with housing subsidy applications at
the North West Development Corporation building, Second Floor,
Mafikeng.
Non-indigents will be registered by the North West Housing
Corporation. Details in this regard will be communicated in due
course.
