*** Die Vrystaatse hooggeregshof het gelas dat die Vrystaatse LUR vir openbare werke, paaie en vervoer meer as tien miljoen rand aan n jong man van Hartswater betaal nadat hy permanente breinskade in n motorongeluk op die pad tussen Bloemfontein en Dealesville opgedoen het.
Die hof het vroer bevind dat die toestand van die pad waar die ongeluk plaasgevind het n gevaar vir padgebruikers inhou.
Afgesien van die meer as tien miljoen rand wat die LUR aan die 26-jarige Berto Esterhuizen moet betaal, moet hy ook meer as 278-duisend rand aan sy pa Theo vir mediese en ander koste betaal.

Duisende jonges by Jesus-revolusie in Pta
Beeld, May 18 2008 08:04:25:093PM - (SA)
deur: Neels Jackson
Christenwees het Saterdagaand in Pretoria een van sy meer ongewone gesigte opgesit toe Radiokansel se jaarlikse Godly Revolution-gospelfees in die ?Heartfelt-arena in die stad gehou is.
Veertien verskillende kunstenaars en gospelgroepe het n paar duisend tieners en ander jonges van gees laat sing, laat bid en oor die algemeen n groot geraas laat maak.
Die entoesiastiese gehoor het by tye spontaan begin uitroep: Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!
Radiokansel se span beraders is so oorval deur tieners wat hul issues wou uitsort dat daar in n stadium n beroep op ervare jeugleiers in die gehoor gedoen is om te gaan help.
Die sanger Retief Burger het in n kort boodskap aan die gehoor ges hulle behoort tot n geslag wat in n krisis in die land sit waarvoor hulle nie verantwoordelik is nie.
Maar ons is daarin.
Hy het die jonges aangemoedig om verantwoordelikheid vir hul situasie te aanvaar en te s hulle wil deel wees van die oplossing vir die land.
Hy het hulle gewaarsku dat hulle dalk nie die vrug van hul pogings sal sien nie, maar ges hulle moet twee of drie generasies verder dink.
Burger se boodskap was dat die enigste manier om n hoopgewer te wees, is om aan Jesus vas te hou.
Dit gaan nie oor jou nie, het hy drie maal ges. Dit gaan ook nie oor die ouens op die verhoog nie. Dit gaan oor Jesus.
Hy het die gehoor aangemoedig om n biddende generasie te wees en hul lewe vir iets groter as hulself te gee.

A woman was locked in her own freezer for nearly an hour by robbers who ransacked her house, police said. Superintendent Danelia Veldhuizen said the woman had been alone in her house in Durban's Lotus Park suburb when she was confronted by three armed men. When her family returned from shopping they found a ransacked house, but not the woman. One of the family heard a faint knocking from the deep freeze and the woman was discovered, freezing and shivering. Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said the woman was taken to hospital and was being treated for hypothermia.

A teenager with cancer scared off a gang of thugs on Wednesday with three shots from his father's revolver. Three robbers broke open the front gate, the security gate and the front door of the Besters' home in Wierda Park, Centurion, about 10:30 on Wednesday. Marc, 17, who has leukaemia, had been sleeping after a setback the previous night with his cancer. He was awakened by the housekeeper and he grabbed pepper spray and ran into one of the robbers in the passage. The robber told him to lie down on the floor and proceeded to steal his cellphone and a laptop that he received from the Reach for a Dream Foundation. Marce was able to slip unnoticed to his fathers room, unlocked the safe, took out his father's firearm and loaded it. He then fired three shots and the robbers took off. Inspector Ilze Jones said the robbers fled in a dark grey Nissan Micra without number plates.

Volgens s*xwale is daar nie behoorlik vir die vlugtelingprobleem beplan nie.
Hy het in n duidelike verwysing na pres. Robert Mugabe van Zimbabwe ges die probleem is dat diktators toegelaat is om sonder enige teenkanting amok op die Afrika vasteland te maak.

There is such a thing as a considerate car thief - one who will spare no effort to return the contents of your car to you. All you have to do is pay for most of the postage. Three years ago when Hein Kuhn and his family were still living in Kempton Park on the East Rand, thieves stole his new car. The insurance company paid off only the debt on the car. The Kuhns moved from the East Rand to Klerksdorp in March this year, but were keeping their old postal address in Kempton Park until the end of the year. Last weekend friends phoned to say there was a registered package for them but they had to pay R10.30 because there werent enough stamps on the envelope. To their astonishment, the envelope contained items that had been in the car when it was stolen, including family photos, Kuhn's matric and college certificates, postal items and even unopened letters. All the things had been in the stolen car and in his briefcase.

A huge interest rate shock awaits South Africans as the monetary authorities consider hiking rates by another 200 basis points. Most economists have predicted rates only to increase - at most - by 100 basis points. But South African Reserve Bank governor Tito Mboweni said on Wednesday that he and his colleagues had discussed the impact on the economy of raising the bank's official repo rate by 200 basis points. This will take the repo rate to 13.5% and the prime rate, which banks charge their own customers, to 17%. Interest rates have already been increased nine times since June 2006. The prime rate peaked at 25.5% in 1998, but South Africans currently have a much greater debt load. Debt now represents almost 78% of households' disposable income, compared to less than 60% a decade ago.

South Africa has experienced the highest rate of food price inflation since January 2003, according to the National Agricultural Marketing Council in its quarterly food price monitor. From April 2007 to April 2008 the increase in the Consumer Food Price, as reported by Stats SA, was 15,7 percent. Food categories that made the highest contribution included grain products, milk, cheese and eggs, fats and oils, fruit, nuts and vegetables. The price of brown bread increased by 21,58 percent and that of white by 26,37 percent. The prices of a 5kg bag of super and special maize meal increased by 5,23 percent and 5,66 percent respectively. The council said this was within the inflation band, which meant some relief for the poor who relied on maize meal as a staple.

Sheldean Human verdict:
Jordaan tree op met 'voorbedagte rade'
Jun 03 2008 08:10:18:540AM - (SA)
Hilda Fourie en Sapa
Andrew Jordaan het Sheldean Human met voorbedagte rade na die afgele gebied naby sy huis geneem, haar seksueel gemolesteer en toe vermoor.
S het waarnemende regter Chris Eksteen Dinsdag in die Pretoriase hooggeregshof bevind in sy uitstpraak.
Jordaan is skuldig bevind aan menseroof, poging tot verkragting, verkragting (van 'n maatjie van Sheldean), onsedelike aanranding en die besit van dagga.
Eksteen het in sy uitspraak ges Jordaan is 'n blatante leuenaar en hy was 'n onbetroubare getuie. Die hof het sy weergawe van die gebeure verwerp.
Jordaan het onder meer aangevoer dat hy gedwing en gemartel is om skuld te erken en uit te wys waar Sheldean se lyk gevind is.
Die beskuldigde het haar met voorbedagte rade bosse toe gevat . . . die hof aanvaar sy is verwurg voordat haar lyk in die mangat gegooi is. Eksteen het ook aanvaar dat Sheldean voor en n haar dood seksueel gemolesteer is.
Eksteen het voorts ges persoonlik glo hy dat Jordaan Sheldean verkrag het, maar die getuienis staaf slegs 'n klag van poging tot verkragting.
Jordaan het uitdrukkingloos na die uitspraak geluister. Buite die hof het Jordaan se familie ges hulle glo steeds hy is onskuldig.
Al die getuienis is teen hom, maar dit is onmoontlik, dit was nie hy nie, het sy suster me. Jacqueline Nortje ges.
Die hof het tot Woensdag verdaag wanneer argumente vir en teen strafversagting aangehoor sal word.

A Limpopo agricultural union is offering to train ordinary South Africans to make bio-diesel to beat rising fuel prices. Dries Joubert, chairperson of the northern branch of the Transvaal Agricultural Union, TAU-SA North, said on Tuesday the union had received many requests from members of the public who want to learn to make their own fuel. He makes bio-diesel from old cooking oil, which he collects from take-away outlets.

TONGUELESS MAN ARRESTED
Police have tracked down a man whose tongue is believed to have been bitten off when he allegedly raped a woman last month. The 36-year-old man from Umjindini outside Barberton was not asked to plead to rape when he appeared in Barberton Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. He was remanded until June 23 for further investigation. He was arrested at home on Sa ay when police received information that there was a man with no tongue living there. Constable Jabu Ndubane said police found that he was not only wanted for rape, but for skipping bail on a housebreaking and robbery case that took place in 2006.

A remorseful American has surprised German police by sending them 100 (about R700) to cover a 12-year-old parking fine. Police in Cologne said the woman, whom they identified only as Julie H, sent them a handwritten confession to her failure to pay the DM60 fine, incurred in August 1996. Police said they had sent a letter thanking Julie H for the letter, and returned the cheque. They said it was impossible to figure out exactly where the woman had parked her rented car during her family's holiday. In any case, the statute of limitations on the offence had expired 11 years ago.

Petrol prices could reach R14 a litre in the next year, forcing some service stations out of business, negatively impacting on the economy and keeping motorists off the road. That is a very scary number. And the scariest part is that it is not impossible, those are not ridiculous estimates, said Peter Morgan, the chief executive of the Fuel Retailers' Association. He estimates that petrol could cost up to R14 and diesel could go up to R16 a litre by next year, driven up by three factors: the weakening rand, the increasing price of brent crude and the high premium paid by traders. Iraj Abedian, economist and chief executive of Pan African Investment and Research Services, said political instability in the Middle East, Nigeria and Latin America was the main reason for the soaring fuel price. The consequences would be inflation and high interest rates, he said, as well as a change in lifestyle for most motorists. He said that while it was possible for prices to reach R14 or R16 a litre in the next year, he doubted they would stay that high consistently.

Archaeologists in Jordan have unearthed what they claim is the world's first church, dating back almost 2 000 years, The Jordan Times reported on Tuesday. The head of Jordan's Rihab Centre for Archaeological Studies, Abdul Qader Hussan said it was uncovered under Saint Georgeous Church, which itself dates back to 230 AD, in Rihab in northern Jordan near the Syrian border.

Prisoners will no longer have the same privileges they have grown accustomed to if the parliamentary portfolio committee on correctional services has its way. The Department of Correctional Services is currently reviewing privileges in prisons. The departments portfolio committee has demanded that radio and television in prison should come to an end. Another privilege that should be done away with is the unlimited access to telephones. However, the department has raised the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Offenders, saying access to some privileges cannot be entirely removed. The department will now have to present its policy review on privileges to the committee.
