    Vroeë Afrikaanse woordelyste H.J.J.M. van der Merwe bron H.J.J.M. van der Merwe, Vroeë Afrikaanse woordelyste. J.L. van Schaik, Pretoria 1971 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/merw002vroe01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven H.J.J.M. van der Merwe vii Inleidende opmerkinge 1. Hierdie werk sluit aan by die Patriotwoordeboek (Van Schaik, 1968; nr. 3 in hierdie reeks), en baie van die opmerkinge wat ek daar onder die Inleiding gemaak het, is ook hier ter sake. Oorspronklik was dit die gedagte om die ander leksikologiese arbeid van voor die Patriotwoordeboek in verskeie dele uit te gee, maar wat ek bymekaar kon bring, kon gerieflik in een band saamgevat word. Aanvanklik het ek gemeen om ook die artikels van D.U.M., Hamelberg, e.a. (waarna ek verwys in die Inleiding tot die Patriotwoordeboek) in te sluit, maar omdat hulle slegs sporadies voorbeelde van woorde gee, dus nie lyste bevat nie, het ek besluit om hulle weg te laat. Hierdie artikels het egter besondere waarde as ‘gegewens rondom Afrikaans in die vorige eeu’, en hulle behoort beslis in 'n afsonderlike band te verksyn. Na my wete het ek die belangrikste leksikologiese bydraes uit die vorige eeu ingesluit. Ons Taalskat van S.J. du Toit dateer wel uit 1908-9, maar dit sluit so nou aan by die ander dat ek dit nie kon weglaat nie. Na lang oorweging het ek besluit om die opmerkinge oor die 8 ‘skrywers’ onder die Inleidende opmerkinge tuis te bring, en nié voor die betrokke lyste nie - dit vergemaklik 'n oor-en-weer-verwysing.

    mIKE’S History THE FIRST Mike’s Kitchen was the brainchild of its founder Mike lllion and opened in Greenside on the 17th September 1972. The original interior was designed around a kitchen theme consisting of a distinctive black, white and red check colour scheme. The salad bar was a price-driven innovation which was to become a Mike’s Kitchen trademark. Besides being the first steakhouse to serve spare ribs, basted with a secret marinade, Mike’s also had a distinctive look and promised wholesome, hearty food at affordable prices for the whole family. In 1983, Holiday Inn’s entrepreneur, David Lewis, bought the chain. David continued Mike’s Kitchen’s innovative trend by introducing the Mike’s Birthday Club, which was to become an important element of Mike’s Kitchen. In 1986 Mike’s Kitchen was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange with 67 units nationwide. It was believed that an entrepreneur with a passion and vision for the group was needed to launch the company into the new millennium and a new beginning. In June 1998 Garry Corney acquired the operating rights for Mike’s Kitchen from Kingco. Garry Corney had the drive, passion and vision for the task at hand. After Garry’s sudden passing away, his wife Judy Corney and her team took control with the same enthusiasm and drive. Currently the Mike’s Kitchen brand is owned by an international private equity company based in the USA. The focus of the new owners is to carry on the legacy of Mike Illion to offer an authentic South African dining experience.

  • Campfire Cooking
    CAMPFIRE COOKING Learn to master the art of barbequing while on safari! Few countries are as renowned for their barbeques as is South Africa. Kwandwe provides an exciting opportunity for Guests to learn about preparing and cooking authentic South African ‘braais’ and favourite dishes with local ingredients. Combined with a stay at a sole-use safari villa, the experience is private and can be adapted to suit individual needs. ON THE MENU Based on a minimum 3 night stay at one of Kwandwe’s 3 safari villas (Fort House, Melton Manor or Uplands Homestead), 3 sessions are spent learning from Kwandwe’s executive culinary team: Become a Braaimaster: a well established social custom and a traditional way of outdoor cooking in South Africa, a ‘braai’ involves barbequing meat over an open fire. The session will include the preparation of a 3 course meal over an open campfire. Apart from learning to expertly barbeque different types of venison, such as impala, kudu, ostrich, warthog and gemsbok (vegetarian alternatives available), Guests will also help prepare traditional accompaniments such as stoke (or ‘pot’) bread, mielie (corn) bread, farm butter, krummel pap (crumbly porridge made from maize meal) with chakalaka (spicy tomato relish) and potato salad. Included is a hands-on lesson on how to make boerewors, a type of lightly spiced sausage popular in South African cuisine and traditionally cooked as a key ingredient of any braai. Guests will also learn to brew ‘moer koffie’, coffee prepared in a tin pot over an open fire. Ingredient variations will be offered to easily adapt menus back at home, and Guests will also be taught how to best cook the different meats to achieve the best possible flavour and tenderness, including the preparation of a barbeque and how to achieve optimum temperature.
