Bestuurskomiteevoorsitter se boodkap - September 2021

             

In sy September-boodskap aan die inwoners van die Warmbad Renaissance Sekuriteitsaftreeoord, skryf die Voorsitter van die Bestuurskomitee, WESSIE VAN DER WESTHUIZEN: Na 'n buitengewoon strawwe winter, het die lente uiteindelik aangebreek. Nou kan ons weer eens uitsien na nóg 'n seisoen van welige groei. Die somberse tyd van die winter het ons baie nader aanmekaar gebring weens die omgee, vertroosting, gebede en deernis wat aan al die siek persone in die oord getoon is. Baie dankie aan Marietjie en Dalla vir hul onbaatsugtige hulp aan siek inwoners in hierdie tyd.

I hope that we will use this spring to ensure that our village returns to its former lushness. Our gardens should be laid out responsibly to ensure that other residents are not inconvenienced by the need to look after it on your behalf. If you can afford a gardener, be creative and do your thing. An uncared for garden is an eyesore.

My kantoor is oop vir haalbare voorstelle om gehalte lewensomstandighede vir ons inwoners te handhaaf. Ons moet egter met die werklikhede rekening hou. Ons as bestuurskomitee ondersoek tans ander kragleweringstelsels. Daar is so baie om van te kies, maar almal is nie ewe doeltreffend nie. Dankie aan Johann Benade en die instandhoudingspan wat baie moeite doen om beskikbare opsies te ondersoek sodat die regte keuse gemaak kan word. Inwoners se geduld sal baie waardeer word.

We are thrilled that our social actions will resume in September, albeit within COVID-19 restrictions. Please support us.

Blitz Fibre is op terme geplaas vir die installering van die veselnetwerk. Ons wag nou vir hulle terugvoer.

Jacob's pride and joy

 Knight Rider was an American action crime television series originally broadcast from 1982 to 1986. The show starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a high-tech crime fighter assisted by KITT, an advanced, artificially intelligent, self-aware, and indestructible car.

Please meet our village’s equivalent (almost!) of KITT: a bicycle modified to an astonishing degree by one of our maintenance workers, Jacob Mfati (photo 1 below).

A solar panel mounted on the luggage compartment (photo 2 below) converts the sun's energy to electricity that is transmitted to a battery via an inverter (photo 3 below). The electricity thus generated powers various gadgets on the bicycle, for example an amplifier (photo 4 below) that accepts a flash drive to provide music while travelling. Next to Jacob’s hand is a microphone which is connected to his cell phone.

Jacob is planning further modifications to his pride and joy, including an alarm system which will be linked up with his cell phone in case someone tampers with his bicycle.
