some people are saying this is SAA's attempt to break Kalula

that the lowered prices are aimed at putting Kalula out of business, because Mango can be run at a loss until Kalula folds due to SAA picking up the losses

is this true?

Hi all.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Heard that a new airline operator will be operating flights between JHB, CPT and Bloem.

The prices also look quite neat at around R169-00 one way between JHB and CPT. Looks like some of the other airlines will have some tough competition, especially with SAA backing the new airline, Mango.

Their website is http://www.flymango.com

SA is currently 3rd on the international standings and hopefully we should be able to do better this year. (maybe they should put a few more Blue Bulls in the team and then we would be able to win :thumbs: )

Harare. – Zimbabwe se laaste wit bittereinder-boere – vuisvoos weens die lang lys van arrestasies en hernieude plaasbesettings – het dié naweek hul goed begin pak en hul plase verlaat.

Dié uittog bring ’n einde aan meer as ’n halwe dekade se moedige weerstand teen die regering se uitsettingsbevele, het verteenwoordigers van die boere-gemeenskap gesê.

Voertuie met huisware en meubels het na dorpe vertrek waar die boere by familie gaan bly of in hotelle gaan tuisgaan, het die kommersiële boere-unie (CFU) gister gesê.

Hoe groot die uittog was, is nog moeilik om te bepaal, maar volgens die boere-unie is die meeste boere wat tot dusver nog vasgebyt het, nou van hul plase af.

Die regering het vroeër vandeesmaand aan die 400 oorblywende wit boere opdrag gegee om hul goed te pak en teen 12 Oktober uit te wees.

Die meeste het dié bevel verontagsaam, maar ná die arrestasie verlede week van mnre. Daniel Nel en Gert Terblanche, twee boere van Karoi, het baie boere glo besef dit is nou die einde.

Benewens Nel en Terblanche, wat hul saak in die hof wou beveg, maar onsuksesvol was, is verskeie ander boere en buitelandse beleggers in hegtenis geneem.

“Dit is baie hartseer. Mense laai maar hul goed op en trek.

“Baie het nêrens om heen te gaan nie en soek blyplek,” het mnr. Ben Freeth, ’n amptenaar van die CFU in die Karoi-distrik, gesê.

Van die 26 plase wat nog deur wit boere in dié gebied besit word, was nog net 3 teen gister operasioneel. Dit is ondanks vroeëre beloftes van die regering dat die plaasbesettings verby is.

“Etniese suiwering is presies wat dit is. Daar is geen ander woord daarvoor nie,” het Freeth gesê.

Mnr. Didymus Mutasa, minister vir staatsekuriteit en grondhervorming, het gesê die grond word van wit boere weggeneem en aan swart kleinboere gegee om “koloniale ongeregtighede te herstel”.

Boere wys daarop dat sowat 230 000 swart plaaswerkers nou ook sonder heenkome sit.

Mutasa het vroeër benadruk dat die Zimbabwiese regering nié plase gaan toeken aan wit boere wat voorheen van hul plase ontneem is en nou weer om grond aansoek gedoen het nie.

“Ons neem die grond weg van die wit mense en dan kom dieselfde wit mense en doen weer aansoek vir grond. Vir watter grond doen hulle aansoek?” wou hy weet.

Mutasa se uitlatings is lynreg in teenstelling met wat me. Flora Buka, minister van spe*siale sake verantwoordelik vir grondsake, vroeër gesê het.

Sy het onlangs tydens ’n landbou-konferensie in Suid-Afrika gesê die Zimbabwiese regering oorweeg om grond aan wit boere terug te gee.

Good day all.

I would like to know if I am a British Citizen and apply for British passports for my children, and then decide to move to Ireland to settle there with my wife and children, would my wife require a visa or residency card or any other documentation if she is a South African citizen?

Also does anyone on this forum live in Ireland? I would like to get some more information on Ireland.

And would I need to apply to the Garda for a card or something if I want to work there, considering I have British citizenship, but have not been in the UK (or EU countries) since I was 3 years old?

Thanks.

I my day we the "Blompot Poliesie" were at every port, station and on the trains. So not such a new idea, :duh:

and in those days we as kids could travel the country, not just local trains, and were as safe as houses. oapbox:

Please could someone give me a heads up, or recommendation for a reputable firm to move some things back to SA.

Not a whole household but a fair amount.

Thanks

Amid economic hardships and human sufferings in Zimbabwe, ANC Youth League president Fikile Mbalula says he loves President Robert Mugabe for a job well done.

He said this to hundreds of the league supporters at a rally in Klerksdorp, North West when introducing the youth leader of Zanu-PF, Richard Bvukumbwe.

"You must go back and tell Mugabe that we love what he is doing for the people of Zimbabwe. He is doing a good work. You must tell him that we love him. We love him for redistributing the wealth and land to the people," Mbalula said at the celebration rally of the league's 62nd anniversary.

Bvukumbwe also thanked the audience for support they were giving to the people of Zimbabwe.

He was one of the youth leaders from the SADC region who were hosted by the league for a political seminar at the ANC's headquarters.

Bvukumbwe received tumultuous applause.

Mbalula reiterated the league's support for ANC deputy president Jacob Zuma and slammed what he termed media-made leaders.

"We don't want people who come to the ANC to fatten their stomachs... We don't want people who come to the ANC to nurture their careers.

"We must ensure that we are not an organisation of people and leaders who are elected by newspapers," Mbalula said.

He dismissed cynics who said Zuma was on a campaign trail ahead of the ANC's congress next year, saying that was a "figment of their hallucination".

But Zuma sounded like someone on a campaigning mission on Sunday, telling supporters that the ANC Youth League must determine the succession in the ANC because they had in the past influenced the process to ensure that President Thabo Mbeki becomes president of the ruling party and the country.

He also questioned those who admonished the league for publicly endorsing him as Mbeki's successor. from IOL

yes, it actually isn't a joke but it beats crying
