Suleen Hamman, Manuel Escorcio en Gerhard Kotze van Radio Disa tydens Manuel se besoek aan die stasie.
Escorcio stel album bekend Manuel Escorcio het onlangs by Radio Disa in Parow gekuier om sy eerste Afrikaanse gospel-album in 34 jaar, Aan die Voete van Jesus, bekend te stel. Die inspirasie vir die album kom ná Manuel die titelsnit een oggend op ’n radiostasie gehoor het. Na ’n paar oproepe het hy by die skrywer en sanger van die lied, past. Hennie van Zyl van die Gracegemeente in Nigel, uitgekom. Die twee het vinnig hegte vriende geword. Die album is gebore uit wedersydse
hartseer wat hierdie twee mans deel. Beide het seuns aan die dood afgestaan. Manuel se seun, Chandre, is in 2008 oorlede en Hennie se seun, Carle, in 2002. Manuel dra hierdie album op aan alle Afrikaanssprekende gelowiges wat al pyn en hartseer in hul lewe ervaar het. Die album is reeds op die winkelrakke beskikbaar. V Radio Disa beplan ’n Kerskonsert met Manuel op Oukersaand. Besonderhede sal later bekend gemaak word.

A six-month-old baby grysbok, which was injured by a water mongoose on Intaka Island at Century City, is now back with his mother after being nursed back to health by dedicated staff. Alan Liebenberg, Century City’s environmental manager, said visitors to Intaka Island spotted the baby grysbok being attacked by a water mongoose over the past weekend. “They managed to frighten off the water mongoose and summoned one of our rangers who carried the grysbokkie to safety. On examination by the vet it was established that its lame back leg was covered in bites. Thankfully this was only temporary and the bites were superficial. The vet treated the grysbokkie and we kept it in a box in the Intaka Island Environmental Education Centre with staff administering antibiotics and feeding it with a syringe and a diet of water and fresh leaves.” Liebenberg said after a few days it was almost fully recovered and it was released back onto the island. “It cried for its mother who answered its cry and obviously came to fetch it as we saw two sets of tracks close together a short time later.” Liebenberg said this was not the first time a grysbok had been attacked by a water mongoose on Intaka Island and the size of the water mongoose population on the island was of growing concern to them. “They are not only threatening the grysbok but they have chased away many of our nesting birds as they have been robbing the nests of eggs.” Liebenberg said the Intaka Island Blouvlei Environmental Committee, which oversees the running of Intaka Island, would be
