Aftrede en aftree-oord beteken nie ophou lewe nie
Elkeen het sy/haar eie prentjie hoe dit is om af te tree. Party mense hou op om aktief aan die samelewing deel te neem, sit op hulle stoep, drink koffie, vul blokkiesraaisel in, kuier met vriende. Ander gaan op reis, sien nuwe plekke, ontmoet nuwe mense.

Winter rain and freezing weather in one week?
Die \"onverwagte\" bibberweer van die afgelope week kon seker nie anders as om die skrywer van hierdie rubriek te laat dink aan 'n kostelike storie wat jare gelede daar in die yskoue Karoovlaktes vir die heilige waarheid vertel is nie of minstens dan - vir 'n gedeelte van die waarheid. Ek kan die mense wat van hierdie tipe weer hou, op my een hand tel en dit is nou nie eintlik temperature wat die mense hier teen die hange van die Magaliesberg laat saamtrek en uiteindelik 'n dorpie laat stig het nie. Indien wel, sou die osse sekerlik nou nog nie uitgespan gewees het nie. Maar kom ons vertel die storie - groot verskoning aan die mense wat dit vroeërjare dalk al in ons kolomme raakgelees het maar soos oorlede Jan Spies (en Tolla van der Merwe) dikwels gesê het - 'n goeie storie is een wat baie meer as een keer vir dieselfde mense vertel kon word en keer-op-keer vir breë glimlagte gesorg het.

Although the tragic story of Joshlin Smith and speculation about her possible fate became many South Africans' first \"experience\" with the extent and threat of human trafficking (both nationally and internationally), Joshlin was not the first \"woman\" to fall prey to cyber crime or atrocities in the cyber space (the world of computers, the Internet, cell phone apps, streaming technology or social media) in recent times.

Testosteroon - ons het almal meer (of minder) hiervan nodig
Die kwessie van vroue met \"abnormale\" hoë vlakke van testosteroon wat as \"normale\" vroueatlete aan vrouesport soos tennis, atletiek, gimnastiek en gewigoptel deelneem, is een wat die sportwêreld nou al vir dekades in twee kampe geskeur het. Ook hier in ons land het die omstrede kwessie van testosteroonvlakke onder vroue in sport homself deeglik laat geld en daar word tot vandag toe nog driftig oor al wat standpunt is gedebatteer. Maar kom ons begin by die begin en eindig by die punt wat ons wil maak.
