Family Bonds

How close is your family bonds . With your children , your friends , your family , you in-laws

Do you experience that personal relations between you and others have fade away . How often do you see your chaildren ? How often do do you organise Family re-unions. Do you speak personally with your children and family - or is it only restricted to new technology cellphone calls. Do you still have friends or do you only have birthday families and friends . Are your social lifestyle filled with loneliness and emptieness .

Why is all this lovely technology causing our family values and lifestyle to fade away like a ship dissapearing over the horison.

i would love to hear your comments

Youth Un-employment


So many effort are been done to ensure the huge youth population of employment in a land where no growth or new employment exist. The only way to give employment to the youth is to retrench or put older employees onto early retirement. Many of these older workers will then replace the youth as un-employed. For persons older than 40 it is more difficult that the youth to seek employment. So are we solving the youth employment problem or are we creating bigger un-employment figures. Also think of all the expertise that gets lost in this movement of employees

Oortyd


Gratis gratis verniet en mahalla
Wat is oortyd sonder betaling
Vet beursies vir die base
Armoede vir al die klase

Ons behoort mos aan  die werk
Geleen aan onse familie
Ons moet die base tevrede stel
Teleur aan onse familie
Sy beursie gaan nie oop vir ons nie
Slegs vir sy lewe en sy plesier

Gratis gratis verniet en mahala
Gratis gratis verniet en mahala
Die oortyd is n plig mahala
Alles wat ons doen is verniet en mahala

Betaling vir oortyd is taboe
Die baas se beursie bly toe
Hoe kan ons dan , hoe kan ons dan
Die baas ontneem van sy plesier
hoe kan ons dan , hoe kan ons dan

The right employment


How many of us are being employed in a position that we don’t like or not enjoying. We don’t get the satisfaction we want out of these positions.
But what do we really want out of life. Do we sit back and moan and groan and neglect our duties assigned to us . Or do we do what we have to do . Doing our best is the right thing to do.
Maybe we should sit back and be thankful for our salary – doesn’t matter how big or small. As long as we can cover our basic needs we should feel honored for being employed.
We can also think towards the millions of people that don’t have employment and are suffering loss of sleep or don’t even have a place to sleep. Those people that can’t even answer their phones in worry it might be someone that wants take their possession away because they cannot pay their debts. For those that have to eat out of rubbish bins because they don’t have money for food
Sometimes with everything we have we still complain about what we not have. Maybe we should be thankful for what we have

Employment


I am a 53 year old male that recently came to the Garden Route through circumstances beyond my control. I was retrenched in Gauteng after 19 years service with a good above average salary in 1999 . Now I have to settle and work for a below the breadline salary.

The problems and ideas the way I see it

a. To many people over the age of 40 are being retrenched or losing their jobs. Employers don’t want to employ them because of their age and their experienced picked up over the years and expecting big salaries. This person then gets a job offer but with the minimum wage which he accepts just to keep money in his pocket and to survive. This means that valuable skills are lost to the community.  
b. Salaries are very low in the Garden Route and people are thus moving from one job to another seeking better salaries and opportunities. 
c. Because of the low salaries offered people with not enough experiences are employed which causes work to be under performed and companies closing down. 
d. Employment is sometimes offered to friends and family and not to proper work seekers. 
e. It is not what you can do to get employment, but who you know, gets you a work. 
f. The recent education summit looked at learnerships only for the school leavers and leaves the rest of the employment market out in the cold. 
g. Major companies and franchises have Head offices in Cape Town and in Port Elizabeth but nothing in between. 
h. Lets join companies, municipalities, government and start an employment indaba here in the Garden Route where all can come together and switch ideas and projects to help the unemployed. 
i. The Garden Route has the ability and the infrastructure to become a major area if all stands together and plan towards it. 
j. Most of the residents still want to have The Garden Route run as a retirement place and not that of a blooming upcoming new city where both young and old can live together
