Baie dankie vir alles wat julle doen. Dit is fantasties.
Ons sal net graag wil hê dat julle webwerf meer ouer-mens- vriendelik moet wees. Ons sien nog goed, maar alle skrif is so klein - kleiner as ander webwerwe op die net. ASB. Ons vra maar net.
Sal dankbaar wees om van julle te hoor.
Administrator: I'm afraid there is not much I can do to change the size of the font on the website, without a serious redesign being required. Two possible solutions:
1. If you using a Windows based computer (almost certain), go to Start Menu, Programs, Accessories, Ease of Access and select the "Magnifier" tool. This will allow you to enlarge selected areas of the the website as though you were holding a magnifying glass.
2. If all your text on your desktop is very small, including the website, then you probably have the screen resolution on your computer set too high. This easily changed by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting the screen resolution options. If you need a hand with this, give me a call.

Hallo oom Frikkie
Hoe gaan dit met tannie Lenie en oom? Die Van Rensburg is maar soos altyd
in die straat en aan die gang.
Ek is bly om te hoor dat oom by die vergadering van die Inwonersvereniging
was. Ek glo dat ons komitee reeds 'n baie goeie rol speel in die dorp en dat
ons net van krag tot krag kan groei onder die uitstekende leiding van Mnr.
Soos dit met enige inwonersvereniging gaan, is die sterkte in die ledetal.
So, ek het gewonder of oom vir ons 'n lys van Vriende van Afrikaans se lede
het, sodat ons hulle kan nader om ook lid te word van ons vereniging. Hoe
sterker die ledetal hoe groter word ons onderhandelings vermoee.
Het Vriende van Afrikaans 'n maandelikse vergadering, waar ons dalk self van
die JBRA kan kom vertel?
Laat my asseblief weet en nogmaals dankie vir die offer van die
klanksisteem. Ons sal dit baie waardeer.
Groete en hope gesondheid.

I too want to thank/compliment the Mayor and MM for the manner in which they conducted themselves -- first of all for taking the time to address us and answer our questions -- also for their "transparency" -- they certainly have won my respect and commitment to continue to pray for them.
Thank you too for the manner in which you chaired the meeting, both as a gentleman and non-partisan.

Ek is so pas terug van die vergadering van die belastingbetalers vereniging van Jeffreysbaai. Vergun my enkele opmerkings.
1. ‘n Spesiale woord van dank aan die Burgemeester. Ek dink hy het hom goed van sy taak gekwyt. Kom ons gee hom ‘n kans, maar hou hom by dit wat hy gesê het –as hy nie woord hou nie, moet hy maar weer kom verduidelik.
2. Net jammer dat ‘n mens so min kon hoor wat gesê is, ek weet dat die klank in die Newtonsaal maar ‘n groot probleem is. Dit help egter nie ‘n mens hou ‘n vergadering en jy kan nie hoor wat daar aangaan nie. Die verkeer is ‘n baie groot probleem en daarby is die ouer mense ook al heelwat meer hardhorend. Ek wil egter nie net kla nie, en daarom kom ek met ‘n aanbod na die bestuur: Vriende van Afrikaans, Jeffreysbaai beskik oor ‘n redelik goeie klankversterkingstelsel wat ons met redelike groot vrug in die verlede in die Newton saal gebruik het. Ek is bereid om met die bestuur te onderhandel sodat u dit kan gebruik tydens vergaderings. Skakel my gerus as u van die aanbod gebruik wil maak, sodat ek dit voor die bestuur kan lê.
3. Sterkte word u toegewens met u taak. Laat maar weet as daar iets is waarmee ek behulpsaam kan wees.

Aanvanklik was ek baie skepties gewees oor die stigting van “maar nog net ‘n vereniging.”
Tot my verbasing doen julle baie goed en het die hand op die pols. Jul verdien ‘n pluimpie hiervoor, “doen so voort”
Ek was vir 20 jaar ‘n munisipale amptenaar (Stadsekretaris) maar het in 1996 uitgeklim en my eie besigheid begin.
Ek was vir 7 jaar in hofgeding met die Kouga Munisipaliteit betrokke oor die verkoop van munisipale grond wat my baie geld gekos het. Aanvanklik was die Belastingbetalersveniging (FEKRA) ook ‘n party tot die geding, maar het hul onttrek toe die saak op appel gaan. Die saak is deur Raad en ‘n ene Crouse tot in die Konstitionele Hof gedryf en het ek my saak gewen. Sal graag eendag die saak met jou wil deel.
Ludwig Vorster - Libyan Outhouse

After the latest rains the sewerage tanks are overflowing at a massive rate in Wavecrest .I think we must threaten this municipality with withholding our rates and not pay for dirty water and enviromental tax and sewerage removal as they have not delivered any decent services for the past two months and the roads look like an outhouse that has been blown up in Libya . I do not foresee any improvement in the next year as they are bankkrupt as is and a strike is looming and then no services will be delivered .I see that the street lights have at least been switched off .I have received an email from the Cllr Aldendorf - wonder if he has mobilitated yet .My neighbour has threatened to get a submersible pump so that we can empty our sewerage tanks, then at least we can use our toilets again as the outlets are under water and it builds up back into the house when you flush

Ludwig Vorster - Dirty water
posted Jul 27, 2011, 1:01 AM by JBay RA
I see that the water restrictions are going to be lifted on the 1st August 2011according to Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality as they control our water as well. Does our water in Jeffreys Bay comply with SANS 241 (Drinking Water Quality Standards) can it be found out if our water is being tested and if our Municipality does the tests or delivers poor water quality. Does our water purification plant work or is there broken pumps or incompetant people working there that just do not care .? Can the Councilor or the JBRA arrange a visit to this plant when we get dirty water just to see what is going on because I do not believe the rubbish excuses they are giving about the dirty water. The doc attached I got from Cllr D.Aldendorf but it does not say much .The latest combined capacity is 91,4
of all the dams .
