ën Strandopruimingspoging is Saterdag op Rooiels gehou. Daar<br />

heers groot kommer in die dorpie omdat die noordwestewind<br />

gereeld groot hoeveelhede rommel, vermoedelik afkomstig van<br />

die strandoorde oorkant Valsbaai, op die andersins ongerepte<br />

Rooiels se strande uitwaai. Hieroor is bewaringsbewustes en<br />

natuurliefhebbers erg ontstoke. Hier is Helen Jones (tweede<br />

van links agter) wat ën groot rol in die poging gespeel het, saam<br />

met van die mense wat gehelp het.<br />

Mandela Day!!<br />

PRINGLE BAY - Our previous<br />

President, Nelson Mandela,<br />

urged people to give 67 minutes<br />

of their time to do something<br />

special on his birthday,<br />

just to make the world a better<br />

place. At Pringle House Eco<br />

Primary School, they decided<br />

to spend those 67 minutes in<br />

making their Village a little bit<br />

better and prettier. With many<br />

plants and trees donated to<br />

them by Afdakrivier Kwekery,<br />

Wildeaas Nursery, and The<br />

Harold Porter Botanical<br />

Gardens, they invited the<br />

community of Pringle Bay to<br />

join them in planting them in<br />

the Village Center. It was a<br />

cold and rainy day, but<br />

nevertheless, representatives<br />

from the Ladies Club, PB<br />

Ratepayers and the PB Business<br />

forum along with pupils<br />

and teachers of Pringle House<br />

turned up to help out . Hopefully<br />

one day the children involved<br />

can show their children<br />

and grandchildren the trees<br />

they planted and the difference<br />

they made in beautifying<br />

Pringle Bay. The Pringle<br />

House pupils and staff want to<br />

thank all involved and also<br />

want to wish Mr. Mandela a<br />

belated Happy Birthday. May<br />

he recover from his illness and<br />

return home soon.<br />

Lisel Krige saam met opgewonde<br />

kinders van die Over<br />

Hills informele woongebied by<br />

die nuwe speelapparaat wat<br />

as deel van die Mandela dag<br />

vieringe hier aangebring is.<br />

Die gees onder almal wat<br />

meegehelp het om die speelterrein<br />

tot stand te bring, was<br />

besonder goed en reÎn of te<br />

nie ñ daar is geverf en gewerskaf<br />

om alles gereed te kry.<br />

Ballonne en lekkergoed is<br />

uitgedeel om die geleentheid<br />

nog meer feestelik te maak en<br />

dit lyk asof die nuwe gerief ën<br />

treffer gaan wees!<br />

Raadslid Lisel Krige het saam met Palmieter Susan Swanepoel<br />

op Mandela dag besoek gebring aan ën aantal inwoners in diÈ<br />

buurt wat met erge gesondheidsuitdagings te kampe het. Susan<br />

het blomme en kaartjies uitgedeel.<br />
