Diat

(engl)... Bezeichnung für mein tägliches Essen. Nicht als Diät verstanden.
Bei genauem Hinschauen erkennt der Betrachter, wovon ich mich hauptsächlich ernähre.


John hat gerade wieder Avocados aus seinem Garten mitgebracht. Weil meine Papaya noch nicht reif ist, habe ich bei P and P zwei gekauft. Ginger vom Obststand des Supermarktes. Rusks ist das was wir als Zwieback in D. kennen, hier aber typisch für Südafrika zum Stippen in Tee gedacht. Apfelsaft, wenn gerade, wie jetzt, keine frischen Orangen auf dem Markt zu finden sind. Ach, im Hintergrund in der Schale liegen noch die Bananen.
Aber macht euch keine Sorgen - gestern gab es Fisch.

STRIKE OVER BUT DARKNESS TO LAST TILL WEEKEND

 

SWAZILAND Electricity Company (SEC) customers will be disappointed to learn that the electricity blackout given birth to by the two-day wild cat strike is far from over.

RESOLUTION: SEC employees meeting during the strike.Marketing and Corporate Affairs Manager Sifiso Dhlamini has come out to say that though the strike may be over and employees back at work, not all electricity outages would be sorted out immediately.   Dhlamini said it would be impossible for all power outages to be sorted out in a day.     

“There was so much damage caused by the strike action and the problem is not going to be sorted today (yesterday),” he said.

The veteran journalist said the company hopes that the pending electricity outages problems would all be sorted by the weekend.

When questioned on whether SEC customers are going to get any compensation due to losses suffered because of the power outages, he said management had not yet discussed the matter yet.

Compensation

“I still have to consult with the relevant offices on that matter, but for now, I cannot promise the customers any compensation,” he said.

It is worth noting that when the SEC strike started on Monday, a number of areas across the country encountered total electricity blackouts.

Some areas were so unlucky the electricity outages started on Sunday night. Seeing that the problem was worsening as the employees were not budging, SEC management put in place a makeshift team to respond

to the customer concerns.

The management accused the staff of tempering and interfering with the network switches which they said was tantamount to sabotage.

Bonuses

On Tuesday night, SEC announced that the payment of the 2016/17 performance bonuses which was the bone of contention between the employer and the employees had been approved.

This led to the SEC workers returning to work yesterday morning.

Dhlamini advised customers who were still experiencing outages to report such to the Call Centre on 800

9000 (toll free line) when using a landline or 2508 3333 (standard rates apply) when using a cellphone.

“We appeal for your understanding and patience while the matter is being addressed amicably,” he said.
