AADILA PATEL SAAPI SEASON’S GREETINGS continued As the year rushes towards its end I find that time is more than ever one of my most valuable and scarc- est commodities. I wish there were raw ingredients or a stockpile somewhere from which I could dis- pense, import, withdraw, forage, manufacture or even perhaps grow more time (I’ll even make it or- ganic!). This of course makes me reflect on how well I spent this precious commodity throughout the year when there somehow seemed to be more of it going around. Did I make the most of every second, min- ute and hour? Did I use it for good? How well did I distribute it between the important facets of my life and that of others around me, and did I get that ever important balance right? I hope that most of you can answer yes to majority of these questions, but if not I wish for you a 2015 in which you take a little time to make more time to spend time wisely. To all the PSSA, and especially our SAAHIP mem- bers, may you have a blessed Festive Season filled with joy and loved ones. To our members who celebrate Christmas – may you rejoice in the love of the Lord as you celebrate the birth of his Son. Best wishes (and time well spent) to all SHANI DAMES SAAHIP Chair NOTICE OF AN ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Notice is hereby given of the combined Annual General Meeting of the Cape Western Province Branch of the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa and the Community Pharmacist Sector (CWP) Branch to be held at Pharmacy House, ‘S’ Block, Greenford Office Estate, Punters Way, Kenilworth on Wednesday, 4 February 2015 at 7:00 pm for 8:00 pm The meeting will be preceded by a finger supper.

  • The Sanders Story a Family Saga
    1 The Sanders Story A Family Saga Researched, compiled and transcribed by Derrick Lewis 2 “The path to strength and prosperity, to success in the future, lies in understanding the past. Know your origins, study the achievements of the generations before you and you will benefit from the wisdom of your ancestors” - The Old Testament 3 Preface I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1943, one hundred and one years after the birth of my maternal Great Grandfather, Wulf Sanders. My father, Isidore Lewis was fatally struck down by a massive coronary three years after my birth. Due to difficult financial circumstances at the time, my Mother decided to move in with her parents, Isidore and Bella Israelsohn who lived in the Southern Cape town of George. This is where I grew up, in my Grandparents home, at 72 York Street, George. The story that have compiled is a direct result of the many conversations I had with my Grandmother and listening to her many stories and anecdotes. I felt that as our family story was fascinating, the family having lived on three continents before arriving here in South Africa, I would write down and attempt to record all this fascinating oral history. Later in my adult years I researched these anecdotal facts and discovered most of them to be true! What I have finally written is a record of the life and times of the Sanders family with the assistance and input of the many members of our extended family. Chapter One We were Courlanders! Our story begins in Courland, now known as the provinces of Kurzeme and Zemgale, of modern day Latvia.

  • Capital Expenditure Project Listing
    CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECT LISTING 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2016 NEDBANK GROUP ECONOMIC UNIT 07 February 2017 NOTES: Definition: The schedule is a listing of capital projects announced in the Republic of South Africa. It includes: Only projects valued at R20 million or more. Projects of an expansionary nature, i.e. capex which allows for an increase in the level of output, rather than pure replacement investment which involves the replacement of worn-out or outdated capital goods necessary for the continued operation and the maintenance of current output levels. The exceptions are: investment in equipment or machinery which reduces the harmful effects of pollution, and technological upgrading of equipment and machinery. Projects funded by both the private and public sectors. Projects reflecting direct foreign involvement. The listing is compiled on a sectoral basis, conforming to the Standard Industrial Classification. Limitations: Any analysis of the data needs to take account of the limitations outlined below: The schedule highlights significant areas of investment expenditure and not the absolute total value of all capital investment undertaken in the country. It serves as a rough guide to the general direction in which investment is moving and as an indication of the level of confidence in the economy. The full extent of replacement capital expenditure is not captured as mainly expansionary capital expenditure are published and recorded. In certain sectors a reliable indication of investment activity is not possible as typical investments are not large enough to be included in the schedule, even though the total capital expenditure in the sector may be substantial.

  • 1 September 2018 Dear Residents Spring Equinox in the Southern
    September 2018 Dear Residents Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere crept up on us in the wee hours of Sunday 23 September. Though most of us prefer to mark spring on 1 September, nature cares little about our rigid determinations! Spring lifts the spirits and brings wonderful messages of hope and renewal; how famous now are the flowers covering hills and valleys along the West Coast and Namaqualand and the whales arriving in our waters to calve! Media reports have reflected record whale sightings at De Hoop Nature Reserve along the Southern Cape coast. These included an albino calf. Albino calf, photographed by marine conservation photographer Jean Tresfon. Marine conservation photographer Jean Tresfon and whale scientist Chris Wilkinson’s aerial whale survey between Skipskop Point and Lekkerwater at De Hoop showed 1 116 whales, or 558 cow and calf pairs. They duo reports that Koppie Alleen along that coastline is now considered the most important southern right whale nursery along the South African coastline. 1 Colleague Els Vermeulen, who heads the Whale Unit, reported 1 347 southern right whales between Hawson and Witsands in August, a figure thought to be three times the number spotted there in 2017. In an era of shrinking biodiversity, this is good news indeed! A burst of spring colour on The Terrace, the clivia in full bloom. At The St James a fresh, new spring look graces the reception and buffet areas of Gentrys dining room, where the carpets have been replaced by beautiful, non-slip tiles, in keeping with and continuing the welcoming ambience of our entrance hall.

    SACTWU WEAVING OUR STORIES, TOGETHER! “I wanted to be judged on the ability of my brain and the quality of my work, not on the colour of my skin! It was this lack of equality that drew me into politics. This was the engine inside me that drove me” Norman Daniels Age: 87, Ex-General Secretary of TWIU (1967 - 1987) Ex-Cape Town City Councillor, Ward 8 (1963 - 1972) Stories from the Worker History Project The Worker History Project was launched in January 2008 and seeks to collect the stories of the lives of our members to help us get a better undertanding of our own history, as a union. Every worker has a history. We are all the children of the people who raised us. They are part of us, and we carry their history in us. As we have grown older, we have all had things happen in our lives that have shaped us and influenced us. Maybe our families shaped us? Maybe it was our school? Maybe it was our communities? Maybe it was our working life? Things have happened that have made us into the people we are today. Today many of us are mothers and fathers to our children. Today many of us are people with special interests. Today many of us have hopes and dreams for our lives. Today ALL of us are clothing, textile or leather industry workers. We are also ALL members of one of the biggest unions in South Africa, SACTWU. Today every worker has a story to tell: The story of our lives.
