Puk-studente ontwerp Absa se Aardklop-veldtog Met Aardklop net om die draai kan Potchefstromers gerus 'n ogie oop hou vir Absa se 2008 feesveldtog wat op eie bodem ontwerp is. 'n Groep van vier finalejaar grafiese ontwerp-studente, Carla Erasmus, Melissa Oosthuizen, Charmaine Khaler en Gert Schoeman, se kreatiewe konsep het daarvoor gesorg dat hierdie studente vanjaar Absa se Aardklop-veldtog onder die vaandel van The Jupiter Drawing Room (Johannesburg) uitgevoer het. 'n Tweede groep studente met Melissa Meloney, Suzan van Wyk, Nadia Roodt en Magdel Smith is op sterkte van hul voorlegging gekies om die brand-aktiveringsaspekte van die wenveldtog te ontwikkel en tydens Aardklop op die feesterrein te implementeer. Vanjaar se wenveldtog wentel rondom die speelse dubbelsinnigheid van Afrikaanse idiomatiese-uitdrukkings. Daar word gefokus op die ongewone en onverwagse soos versinnebeeld in die veldtog se trefreël: 'n onwaarskynlike ondervinding. Dié finale jaar studente van die NWU-Puk is in sewe groepe verdeel wat elk verskillende veldtogte vir Absa voorgelê het. Drie top veldtogte is gekies waaruit die wenner aangewys is. Die vakgroep grafiese ontwerp se betrokkenheid by die Absa/Aardklopveldtog spruit uit verlede jaar se sukses met die Johnny Fondor/ Absa/Aardklop gym-veldtog wat ook deur die Puk se finalejaarstudente ontwerp is. Een van hierdie oud-studente wat nou werksaam is by The Jupiter Drawing Room, Christo Kruger, was ook verantwoordelik vir die ontwerp van vanjaar se baie gewilde Absa/KKNK-veldtog. Volgens mnr. Richardt Strydom, grafiese ontwerp-dosent aan die Puk, is dit ongewoon dat groot handelsname soos Absa 'n bo-die-lyn-veldtog aan studente toevertrou. “Benewens dat dit Absa se belegging in die jong mense van Suid- Afrika onderskraag, is dit ook beduidend van die hoë gehalte van grafiese ontwerponderrig aan die NWU”. ABSA se 2008 Aardklop-veldtog is reeds vanaf vroeg September geïmplimenteer.

SENWES BREEK NUWE GROND MET 'N VARS BEELD EN STRATEGIE Senwes, 'n diverse landboubesigheid, nader sy 100ste herdenking. Die maatskappy het besluit om sy logo te moderniseer en duidelike identiteite vir elke besigheidsdivisie bekend te stel. Die nuwe logo, wat in September 2008 bekendgestel word, reflekteer 'n meer opsigtelike, sterker, tegnologies-georiënteerde Senwes wat meer toeganklik is. Die logo stel die maatskappy as treffend en kontemporêr voor, steeds in voeling met die vorige korporatiewe identiteit, maar met die warmte en energie van die groenkleurige skakerings; wat lewenskragtigheid en groei simboliseer. Hierdie gevoel word ook weerspieël in die vloeiende lettertipe waarop besluit is. Die huidige transformasie word deur die groei en momentum van die Senwes handelsmerk gedryf en die inisiatief om Senwes as ikoon binne die landbousektor te versterk, het die transformasie verder aangevuur. “Nuwe sub-handelsmerke is ontwikkel om 'n sterker fondasie vir Senwes se sukses sowel as vir ons klante, te bewerkstellig. Die nuwe sub-handelsmerke: Senwes Grainlink (om Senwes Graan/Grain te vervang), Senwes Village (om Senwes Handel/Trade te vervang) en Village Grocer (om as aparte sub-handelsmerk vir afsonderlike kruidenierswinkels te staan) spruit voort uit die Senwes handelsmerk. Die sub-handelsmerke reflekteer die moderne wêreld terwyl dit ook 'n brug tussen die hede en verlede vorm,” sê Johan Dique, besturende direkteur van Senwes. Senwes se uitgebreide bedrywighede in die graanbedryf, verskaffing van boerdery-insette, meganisasiebesigheid en landbou gefokusde finansieringsdienste in die Vrystaat, Noordwes, Noord-Kaap en Gauteng provinsies, tesame met hul volgehoue betrekkinge met belangrike rolspelers in die landbousektor, getuig van die sukses wat die maatskappy se groeistrategie die afgelope jare gelewer het. Senwes glo dat die uitkoms van die maatskappy se korporatiewe transformasie op die “Senwes mense” berus. “Die sukses van ons korporatiewe transformasie is in ons mense se toegewydheid, vaardighede en ervaring opgesluit,” bevestig Dique. “Ons 100 jaar viering breek eersdaags aan. Wat 'n voorreg om na 100 jaar, as 'n standvastige en gerespekteerde Senwes, na ons aandeelhouers terug te keer. Ons sal altyd Senwes se erfenis met eer saamneem terwyl ons in 'n belangrike, nuwe rigting voortstap,” sluit Dique. Mikes Kitchen held a fun day on 20 September for children to celebrate spring day. The day was full of entertainment with prizes up for grabs. Exciting prizes were given away consisting of a bicycle, skateboard and much much more. Ponies were also part of the event. The fire brigade made enjoyable water slides for the children to slide away their winter blues. The clowns took everyone on a ride with the Mike's train and they also painted the children's faces. Mikes kitchen made sure it was a day full of fun and laughter. DISTRICT PONDERS SOLAR ENERGY INVESTMENT District Executive Mayor Boitumelo Moloi recently visited a solar power street lights pilot project at one of the farms situated around the Buffelsdoorn area. This project is one of the unique methods government is trying out as a feasible way to supply street lighting whilst using the sun's natural energy to create electricity. According to Dr. Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality Infrastructure director Felix Labuschagne, the project is still in its test phase after the installation of about five solar powered lights to the tune of R110 000. “This is a solution for power shortage in rural areas where it is difficult for the national electricity supplier to reach. These lights were installed at a cost of R22 000 each,” said Labuschagne. He also explained the move as a viable way to reduce installation, maintenance and electricity bill costs of high-mast lights. “If you look at the capital used for 50 high-mast lights installed across the district, the money involved thereof is enormous. So with this Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, the district should be able to provide more of these lights to other communities once the pilot phase is proved successful after evaluation.” The Executive Mayor said she hoped the pilot run would assist the municipality to observe and monitor the viability of the project before a decision on a full roll-out programme is made. She also appealed to the farm inhabitants to take care of the lights, as the pass motion for more installations will rely on the success of the trial run at their homestead. These lights form part of the government's plan to invest in alternative renewable energy sources to supplement electricity shortage, moreover in residential areas, public roads as well as private complexes during load-shedding and normal power conditions, offering users a higher sense of security and stability. Research by Electronic and Electrical Engineering Communities of Southern Africa (EESA) also says the solar-powered LED street lights can provide lighting for up to two-days in overcast conditions. This is possible through the power of a battery that is recharged by a flexible solar panel able to withstand the harshest weather conditions. The solar panel as well obviates the need for connection to the light's network with expensive copper cabling, trenching and transformers. Maintenance for these lights is reported reasonable, as they require full service after long intervals. This is made possible by a controller that monitors the current usage and prohibits the system from overcharging the battery. Other important considerations are that the LED bulbs use far less voltage volumes than regular electricity reliable bulbs, leaving them as the safest and cost effective options for quality energy supply services to disadvantaged communities.
Aardklop Aardklop-feesgangers kan vanjaar uitsien na 'n paar nuwighede en 'n gunsteling wat nie onder die vaandel van tradisionele uitvoerende en beeldende kuns val nie. Aardklop se visie is om ʼn volhoubare kunstefees van hoë gehalte aan te bied. Aardklop is 'n jaarlikse nasionale kunstefees wat hom graag wil onderskei as 'n kunstefees van top-gehalte in Suid-Afrika en lewer ʼn konstruktiewe bydrae tot die viering en ontwikkeling van die kunste in die algemeen in Suid-Afrika, binne ʼn universele konteks. Aardklop bied veral ʼn platform vir die skeppingskrag en talent van kunstenaars uit eie bodem en is ʼn toonvenster van die beste van huidige en ontwikkelende kunsteneigings in Suid-Afrika en die wêreld, en sluit ook die klassieke in. Aardklop skep die geleentheid vir opwindende, opkomende talent om saam met gevestigde kunstenaars voor bestaande en nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse gehore op te tree. Aardklop het noue interaksie met ander kunstefeeste en is van huis uit Afrikaans, maar universeel in karakter, net soos Afrikaans deel is van die universele skat van geestesgoedere. Aardklop is die jaar vanaf 30 September 04 Oktober. www.aardklop.co.za Only a few more days before the finale of the M-Net reality show, High School Musical: Spotlight South Africa, which has taken the country by storm and the question on everybody's lips are: “Who will be the next Troy and Gabriella”? High School Musical, a popular Disney movie, followed a group of high school students on their summer holidays as they struggled through love, friendship and other teen matters - all to the backdrop of catchy songs and dance moves. So successful was the phenomenon that it will now take to the stage, and South Africa has the first opportunity to select its very own Troy and Gabriella, the male and female leads in the show, as it puts together its cast for the production. The reality show set out on its search to find the lead roles in June and, through public voting, the competition has now been whittled down to the final three potential: Troys - Lyle Volkwyn, 21, David Schlachter, 20, and Daniel Wessels, 17 - and three possible Gabriellas - Carmen Pretorius, 18, Danni Rau 17, and Tshepi Mashego, 18. 15 September 2008 Eighty of the country's best Boerewors makers battled it out on 13 September in the provincial rounds of this year's Shoprite Checkers Championship Boerewors competition. And now finally, after a period of 6 months during which more than a 1100 boereworsmakers went through 3 elimination rounds, and 270 judges tasted some 44 000 pieces of boerewors, the day has come when the new Boerewors Champion will be selected to own the coveted title for a year. Ten provincial winners will be travelling to Sun City for the much anticipated grand finale that takes place in the Valley of Waves on 4 October where the winner will drive away with a brand new Toyota Hilux 2.7 Double Cab Raised Body Raider and the much sought after 2008 Boerewors crown! The ten finalists for the Sun City Grand Finale are: • Western Cape Nigel Andrews from Eerste River, a Meat Market manager at Shoprite Mfuleni. • Gauteng (two finalists) Roberto Vanacore from Ennerdale and Attie Kühn from Delmas. • Eastern Cape Henri Bester, a 17-year old from Port Elizabeth. • Northern Cape Elizabeth Lesley, a housewife from Kuruman. • North West Yolanda Janse van Vuuren from Brits. • Limpopo Johnny Erasmus from Tzaneen, a Meat Market manager at Shoprite Tzaneen. • Mpumalanga Nic Jordaan from Bethal. • Free State Dewald Rabie from Kroonstad, a Meat Market manger at Checkers Kroonstad. • KwaZulu Natal Daneel van Dyk from Newcastle, a Regional Meat Market manager for Shoprite Checkers. The 2008 Shoprite Checkers Championship Boerewors will receive the South African Chefs Association's Seal of Approval, ensuring that South Africa's best loved braaiwors is the best of the very best! Having themselves experienced the anguish and exhilaration of this year's very challenging Championship boerewors competition, almost the whole of Hillside will take the opportunity to also join in the excitement of the final, with well-loved 7de Laan characters San-Mari (Amalia Uys), Emma (Bertha le Roux), Vanessa (Ingrid Paulus), Felicity (Melanie du Bois), Aggie (Mimi Mahlasela), Alyce (Vuyelwe Booi), Kabelo (Sekoati Tsubane), Lukas (Hendrik Cronjé), Errol (Christo Davids), Xander (Theodore Jantjies), Vince (Jacques Blignaut), Hilda (Annelisa Weiland), Maria (Themsie Times), Diederik (Hennie Jacobs), Marko (Francois Lensley), Paula (Diaan Lawrenson) and Mandla (Freedom Hadebe) all participating in the events of the day. Shoprite Checkers presents the Championship Boerewors challenge annually as it assists the supermarket group in staying abreast with consumer needs. By inviting customers to put forward recipes for the best tasting boerewors that will appeal to the majority of people, the supermarket group is able to provide a quality product that reflects the value on offer in the Meat Market departments of all Shoprite and Checkers stores. Those who will not have the opportunity to taste the supermarket group's new Championship Boerewors at Sun City will fortunately not have to wait too long to obtain it. From 15 October this product will be available under the 2008 Championship Boerewors label in the Meat Markets at Shoprite, Checkers and Checkers Hyper stores country-wide. NORTH WEST PROVINCE TO BENEFIT FROM ESKOM'S FREE ENERGY SAVERS ROLL-OUT Approximately 4.2 million CFL's or compact fluorescent lamps will be distributed to households in the Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom, Carletonville, Wolmaransstad, Schweizer Reneke, Bloemhof, Ottosdal, Delareyville, Kuruman, Lichtenburg, Coligny, Mmabatho, Stella, Taung, Vryburg, Ventersdorp, Zeerust from September to 30 November 2008. This programme will allow all electricity users to exchange their ordinary light globes for compact fluorescent lamps (CFL's). The implementation of this initiative forms an integral part of Eskom and the government's response to address the energy emergency situation in the country. The plan, which consists of three phases: the Stabilisation-, the Power Rationing- (which is currently being implemented) and the Power Conservation Phase, depends on the participation of all electricity users, to ensure a secure supply of electricity for the future. The CFL exchange program is part of Eskom's drive to assist homeowners on becoming more energy efficient. It is an important and practical way to reduce electricity consumption. CFL's lasts up to 6000 hours or more, which is six times longer than the incandescent light bulbs, and it uses approximately 20-25% energy and produce 90% less heat, while producing more light per watt. The CFL exchange is done in a manner which ensures households get enough opportunity to get their bulbs exchanged. Home owners will be visited by contractors walking from door to door replacing globes with CFL's free of charge. Alternatively home owners will be given the opportunity to exchange their old globes with CFL's at central points to be communicated in due course. Field distributors will also deliver leaflets to houses informing residents about the process. Homeowners will be asked to fill out a form to verify the receipt of the CFL's. An independent auditor may contact homeowners after the installation to ensure that the correct installation procedures have been followed. This is a practical and effective response to the current electricity situation. Eskom and Game Stores are also currently running a promotion whereby ordinary old globes can be swapped for a CFL's at a minimal cost. The promotion is limited to 10 globes per household until their stocks last.
