AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #1 - TOP 10 SOUTH AFRICAN HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS: NEW YEAR'S DAY 5 country's history of slavery. Communities with deep roots in the slave culture often hold large celebrations on the holiday as it was traditionally the only day each year that seventeenth century slaves were allowed to take oﬀ and rest. The January 2 holiday is called Tweede Nuwejaar, or "Second New Year," and it is essentially a modern twist on the parties the slaves had in the Cape area at the beginning of every new year.

2 Januarie is ŉ soort van tweede Nuwejaarsdag in Suid Afrika, gekoppel aan die geskiedenis van slawerny in die land. Gemeenskappe met diep wortels in die slawe kultuur hou dikwels groot feesvieringe op hierdie vakansie dag omdat dit tradisioneel die enigste dag van die jaar was wat 17de eeuse slawe toegelaat was om vry te neem en uit te rus. Die vakansie dag op 2 Januarie is bekend as Tweede Nuwejaar, of "Tweede Nuwe Jaar," en dit is eintlik ŉ moderne draai op die partytjies wat die slawe gehou het in die Kaap aan die begin van elke nuwe jaar.

The Pass laws were the cause of the protest that led to the Sharpeville Massacre on March 21, 1960. The original laws required all black men to carry pass books, a sort of internal passport, with them whenever they left the area where they lived. The aim of the Pass laws was to segregate the African population. The ﬁrst

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #2 - TOP 10 SOUTH AFRICAN HOLIDAYS AND FESTIVALS: HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 6 passbooks were issued in 1797, and any black Africans who were found in "white" areas without a passbook were arrested and taken to a rural area. Later there were attempts to extend the Pass laws to women, but those attempts sparked widespread protests.

Die Pas wette was die oorsaak van die protes wat gelei het tot die Sharpeville slagting op 21 Maart 1960. Die oorspronklike wette het vereis dat alle swart mans 'n pas boekie moes hê, 'n soort van interne paspoort, wanneer hulle die area waar hulle gewoon het verlaat het. Die doel van die Pas Wette was om die Afrikaanse bevolking te skei. Die eerste pasboeke was in 1797 uitgereik en enige Suid Afrikaners wat in "wit" gebiede gevind was sonder 'n pas boek was gearresteer en terug na die landelike gebied geneem. Later was daar pogings om die paswette na vroue uit te brei, maar die pogings het gelei tot wydverspreide proteste.

The year after Workers' Day was instituted, South Africa enacted the Labor Relations Act, which ordered regulations on collective agreements with trade unions and supports the primacy of those agreements with the aim of eliminating turpitude among businesses. The law also enables businesses and registered unions to create statutory councils for bargaining purposes between the two parties.

Further, the Labor Relations Act replaced the Conciliation Board with the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration for the purpose of creating a more cooperative atmosphere between trade unions and businesses. Additionally, the law established special courts focused on labor issues, which are separate from traditional courts.

Die jaar na Werkersdag ingestel was, het Suid Afrika die Wet op Arbeidsverhoudinge ingestel, wat regulasies oor kollektiewe ooreenkomste met die vakbond opgestel het en die voorrang van die ooreenkomste met die oog op die uitskakeling van verdorwenheid onder besighede. Die wet laat besighede en geregistreerde vakbonde ook toe om statutêre rade te kreëer vir bedinging doeleindes tussen die twee partye.

Verder vervang die Wet Op Arbeidsverhoudinge die Versoeningsraad met die Kommissie vir Versoening, Bemiddeling en Arbitrasie met die doel van die skepping van ŉ meer samewerkende atmosfeer tussen vakbonde en besighede. Die nuwe Wet het ook spesiale howe, gefokus op arbeidskwessies, wat apart van ander tradisionele howe is, in lewe geroep.

The history of Kruger National Park starts in 1895 when Jakob Louis van Wyk

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #15 - TOP 10 SOUTH AFRICAN TOURIST DESTINATIONS: KRUGER NATIONAL PARK 6 introduced a bill to create the Sabi Game Reserve, which later became Kruger National Park. A proclamation was formally made in 1895 after the passing of the motion. Then in 1926, the name of the game reserve was changed to Kruger National Park, and expansion started with the first tourist cars entering the area a year later. In 1959, officials started fencing off the park to set clear boundaries, keep diseases from spreading, make it easier to patrol the borders, and inhibit poaching there. In 1996, part of the park was given back to the Makuleke tribe, although they chose not to resettle the land but to keep investing in tourism there.

Die geskiedenis van Kruger Nasionale Park begin in 1895 toe Jakob Louis van Wyk 'n wetsontwerp ingedien het om die Sabi Wildreservaat te skep. Dit het later die Kruger Nasionale Park geword. 'n Proklamasie is formeel gedoen in 1895 na die aanneming en aanvaarding van die mosie. Die naam van die wildreservaat is toe in 1926 verander na Kruger Nasionale Park en die ontwikkeling het begin met die eerste toeriste-motors wat die gebied besoek het 'n jaar later. In 1959 het amptenare die park begin omhein om duidelike grense te stel, te keer dat siektes versprei, om patrollie op die grense makliker te maak en om stropery hok te slaan. In 1996 is 'n gedeelte van die park teruggegee aan die Makuleke-stam. Hulle het egter verkies om nie die grond te hervestig nie, maar om aan te hou belê in die toerisme daar.

Hul taal is die tweede meeste volkryke huistaal in die land. Daar is baie stamme binne die Xhosa- groep, insluitende die Bomvana, Mpondo, Thembu en Xesibe stamme. Gedurende die apartheidsjare was die Wildekus ook die tuiste van die Transkei. Die gebied was die eerste van vier streke wat verklaar was as apart van Suid-Afrika, maar dit was nooit erken as 'n eie land nie.

There are signs that the areas in and around the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park were settled during the Stone Age. Originally, the Zulu kingdom used the region as a royal hunting ground, but it officially became a park in 1895. The main goal of the establishment of the Hluhluwe and Umfolozi nature reserves was to save the white rhino, which at the time of their establishments was on the endangered species list. Animals were safe there for decades as hunters during colonial times avoided the area because of flies which carried the nagana disease, although later Europeans began to experiment to find ways to eradicate the flies, slaughtering about 100,000 animals in the process.

Daar is tekens dat die gebiede in en om die Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park gevestig is tydens die Steentydperk. Oorspronklik het die Zoeloe koninkryk die streek gebruik as 'n koninklike jagterrein, maar dit het amptelik 'n park geword in 1895. Die hoofdoel van die totstandkoming van die Hluhluwe en Umfolozi natuurreservate was om die witrenoster te red. Ten tyde van hul totstandkoming was die witrenoster op die lys van bedreigde spesies. Diere was veilig daar vir dekades lank, want jagters het die gebied vermy gedurende koloniale tye omdat daar vlieë was wat die nagana siekte gedra het. Europeërs het egter later begin eksperimenteer om maniere te vind om die vlieë heeltemal uit te roei en in die proses omtrent 100,000 diere geslag.

AFRIKAANSPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S1 #20 - TOP 10 SOUTH AFRICAN TOURIST DESTINATIONS: CAPE POINT 5 Many people mistakenly claim that Cape Point is where the Atlantic Ocean's cold Benguela Current smashes into the Indian Ocean's warm Agulhas Current. However, this isn't technically the case as the meeting point of the two currents is in flux. Most of the time, the two currents meet somewhere between Cape Point and Cape Agulhas. Myths have suggested that there's an obvious line drawn in the ocean where the two currents meet and that the sea is different colors on each side of the line or otherwise just looks different at the currents' meeting point, however, this isn't true.

Baie mense beweer verkeerdelik dat Kaappunt is waar die Atlantiese Oseaan se koue Benguelastroom breek in die Indiese Oseaan se warm Agulhas-stroom. Tegnies is dit egter nie die geval nie, want die punt van ontmoeting van die twee strome is veranderlik. Die meeste van die tyd ontmoet die twee strome iewers tussen Kaappunt en Kaap Agulhas. Mites het daarop gedui dat daar 'n duidelike lyn getrek is in die oseaan waar die twee strome ontmoet en dat die see verskillende kleure is aan elke kant van die lyn of andersins net anders lyk aan die stroom se punt van ontmoeting. Dit is egter nie waar nie.

Unlike some other types of crocodile, the Nile crocodile found in South Africa is not endangered. It can also be found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa in many diﬀerent kinds of environments, from marshlands to lakes. They generally prefer freshwater habitats, although sometimes they do live in slightly salty lakes and deltas. The Nile crocodile weighs, on average, about 900 pounds and is typically between thirteen and sixteen feet in length. The reptile eats a variety of animals in addition to humans, including other reptiles, mammals, birds, and ﬁsh. It tends to lie in wait for its prey and then pounces suddenly for the kill.

Anders as ander tipe krokodille, is die Nyl-krokodil wat in Suid-Afrika te vinde is nie 'n bedreigde spesie nie. Dit kan ook gevind word regdeur die Sub-Sahara Afrika in vele verskillende omgewings, van moerasse tot mere. Oor die algemeen verkies hulle varswater habitatte, maar soms bly hulle tog in ietwat souterige mere en deltas. Die Nyl-krokodil weeg gemiddeld sowat 900 pond en is gewoonlik tussen dertien en sestien voet lank. Die reptiel eet 'n verskeidenheid van diere bo en behalwe mense. Dit sluit ander reptiele, soogdiere, voëls en visse in. Die krokodil is geneig om te lê en wag vir sy prooi en skiet dan vinnig vorentoe vir die doodmaakslag.

The ostrich-feather booms that led to Oudtshoorn's claim to fame and prosperity were the result of European fashion's sudden interest in them. During the ﬁrst feather boom, exports of ostrich feathers increased sharply, and then by 1970, nearby Mossel Bay became a well-known auction place for the feathers. Five years later, Oudtshoorn's population had climbed to more than 1,800 people. In the second half of the 18070s, the price of ostrich feathers climbed to £1,000 per pair, approaching the value of diamonds. Because of the craze, overproduction became an issue, causing the feather market to crash. However, it slowly recovered, and a second ostrich feather boom happened after the Second Anglo- Boer War.

Die volstruisveer oplewings wat gelei het tot Oudtshoorn se aanspraak op roem en welvaart was die gevolg van Europese modes se skielike belangstelling daarin. Tydens die eerste volstruisveer-oplewing het uitvoere van volstruisvere skerp gestyg en het teen 1870, naby Mosselbaai, 'n bekende veilingplek geword vir die vere. Vyf jaar later het Oudtshoorn se bevolking geklim met meer as 1,800 mense. In die tweede helfte van die 1870's het die prys van volstruisvere gestyg tot £1,000 per paar en sodoende die waarde genader van diamante. As gevolg van die manie het oorproduksie 'n probleem begin word en veroorsaak dat die volstruisveermark in duie stort. Dit het egter stadigaan herstel en 'n tweede volstruisveer-oplewing het plaasgevind na die Tweede Anglo-Boereoorlog.

There's an old story about the old lighthouse at Cape Point and the Flying Dutchman, a phantom ghost ship that is never able to get into port and is said to be sailing the seas forever. The funicular at Cape Point was named for the mythical ghost ship. Some believe that the Flying Dutchman is a trick of the eyes at sea in the way the waters move, which may be why so many visitors to Cape Point think they have seen it, although there have been numerous reports throughout history of sightings all over the world.

Daar is 'n ou storie oor die ou ligtoring by Kaappunt en die Flying Dutchman (Vlieënde Hollander), 'n skim spookskip wat nooit in staat is om enige hawe te bereik nie en daar word gesê dit vaar vir ewig oor die see.

Sommige glo dat die Flying Dutchman oëverblindery is op die see deur die manier waarop die water beweeg, wat moontlik kan wees hoekom so baie besoekers aan Kaappunt dink hulle het dit gesien, alhoewel daar al talle verslae was regdeur die geskiedenis van waarnemings regoor die wêreld.

In fact, approximately 42,000 people inhabit the over 12,000 homes that are in Hout Bay. The village was originally established as a colony in 1652 in Table Bay by the Dutch. It started out as only two farms but grew up from there. At the time, settlers were attracted by all the high-quality timber that was available in one part of the valley. They used it for shipbuilding, construction, and many other uses.

Een ding oor Houtbaai wat besoekers besonder interessant sal vind is die manier waarop dit reggekry is om 'n landelike atmosfeer te handhaaf, terwyl dit ook 'n redelike groot bevolking het. Trouens, ongeveer 42,000 mense bewoon die meer as 12,000 wonings in Houtbaai. Die dorp is oorspronklik gestig as 'n kolonie in 1652 in Tafelbaai deur die Hollanders. Dit het begin as net twee plase, maar groter geword van daar af. Op daardie stadium was setlaars gelok deur al die hoë gehalte hout wat beskikbaar was in een deel van die vallei. Hulle het dit gebruik vir skeepsbou, konstruksie en vele ander gebruike.
