    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increase in the level of output, rather than pure replacement investment which involves the replacement of worn-out or outdated capital goods necessary for the continued operation and the maintenance of current output levels.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.

    ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com­ petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham­ pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back­ ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer­ tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history.

    RICORDANDO ELIO DE ANGELIS Nel Giorno Della Sua Scomparsa Il Fratello Roberto Lo Racconta Così DI GIUSEPPE MAGNI

    RICORDANDO ELIO DE ANGELIS Nel giorno della sua scomparsa il fratello Roberto lo racconta così DI GIUSEPPE MAGNI Elio De Angelis. Ricorre il trentaquattresimo dal suo ritorno. Sì, dal suo ritorno da dove era venuto. Un luogo, un mondo, nel cielo, dominato dagli angeli. Elio era, è uno di loro. Elio Degli Angeli, appunto. Un mondo dove si può correre e vincere in macchina alla sua maniera. Un mondo dove la velocità è stile, è bellezza, è purezza. Dove le curve si disegnano, si pennellano di traiettorie multicolori, dove i suoni dei motori sono dolci melodie, dove ogni cambiata è una carezza. Si vedeva, si percepiva, che Elio fosse di un altro mondo. C’erano degli indizi, delle prove inconfutabili: il suo atteggiamento, il suo sorriso, il suo casco da marziano. Ecco, appunto: il suo casco da marziano. Sì, Elio De Angelis è persona troppo grande, troppo superiore per essere campione di questo mondo. Non poteva. Semplicemente perché è un mondo a cui lui non apparteneva. Infatti, io non credo che lui fosse uno di noi. Una persona normale, intendo. Elio De Angelis ha rappresentato, e rappresenta ancor più oggi, una eccezione. Una meravigliosa eccezione in un mondo in cui lui non c’entrava assolutamente nulla. Già allora troppo sinistramente lugubre, malvagio, dominato dagli egoismi e dalle arroganze. Dalle prevaricazioni e dalla cupidigia. Oggi il disagio di farne parte è, se possibile, ancora più sentito, ancora più acuto. Mi sento davvero accanto a Elio De Angelis. Anche se 1 avverto nitida la consapevolezza di non poterlo nemmeno avvicinare in termini di rettitudine morale, di trasparenza dell’anima, di integrità.
