- Van Seebodem tot Huisentrepreneur: Prissila en haar Miniatuur Babakotjies Steek Harte aanIn News Talk·September 19, 2023Potchefstroom- Baie van ons het dit al gesien, iemand wat smeek vir hulp op Facebook, vir geldjies, bystand, kos, klere en nog baie meer, party het dit moderne bedel genoem en sosiale media kommentaar het baie van hierdie versoekers verslind. En toe is Daar Prissila Een so vrou was Prisilla King, wat hier in Potchefstroom al haar trots al moes verloor, toe beide sy en haar man hulle werke verloor het, en sy uit desperaadheid een van daardie mense op Facebook moes word. In 'hierdie klipharde omstandighede, waar Prissila en haar man al jarelang met finansiële stryd worstel, het hierdie huisvrou besluit om nie langer aan die lot oor te laat nie. Te midde van gemeenskaplike oordeel en uitsluiting, het Prissila 'n besigheid begin wat nie net 'n inkomste genereer nie, maar ook 'n straal van hoop vir baie is. Foto: Prissila King Die Begin van 'n Droom Prissila se man, met 39 jaar ondervinding in houtwerk, kan nie werk kry nie weens 'n rugprobleem wat hom dwing om 'n loopstok te gebruik. Prissila self was ook werkloos en het vroeër probeer om geld in te bring deur wasgoed te was en plante te verkoop. Maar alles het verander toe sy 'n droom gehad het. "Ek het 'n week lank gebid en gehuil en toe droom ek van die babakotjies," sê sy. Handwerk met 'n Hart Met 'n klein bietjie kennis van houtwerk en absoluut geen ervaring in naaldwerk, het Prissila op 'n Vrydagoggend opgestaan en haar eerste babakotjie gemaak. "Ek het een rol garing en 'n pakkie naalde gekoop en het toe vier bestellings gekry. Met daai geld het ek materiaal gekoop om meer te maak," vertel Prissila. Foto: Prissila King Besonderhede en Toewyding Die miniatuur babakotjies is so fyn gemaak dat dit lyk soos die regte ding. Dit neem Prissila omtrent 'n dag om drie van hierdie juweeltjies te maak. Die kotjies kom in verskillende kleure soos room en wit, maar kan ook in pienk, groen of pers gemaak word, afhangende van die materiaalbeskikbaarheid. Dit kost R400, insluitend 'n vol stel beddegoed. Gemeenskap Ondersteuning Na jare van stryd het Prissila eindelik 'n bron van inkomste en erkenning gevind. Die eienaar van haar woonstel het selfs 'n klein werkswinkel beskikbaar gestel. "Ek bid steeds vir 'n naaldwerkmasjien, dit sal baie help," sê sy. Foto: Prissila King God se Hande "Ek sê dit is nie my hande wat dit doen nie; dit is God se hande wat myne lei," sê Prissila, 'n vrou wat 'n voorbeeld stel dat hoop en hard werk 'n kragtige kombinasie is. Vir diegene wat die moed gehad het om in hierdie besondere huisentrepreneur te glo, is daar 'n boodskap van dankbaarheid: "Baie dankie aan die wat ons reeds ondersteun het." Soos ons geselskap eindig, laat Prissila ons met 'n boodskap van hoop en volharding: "Geseënde dag en naweek aan almal." Prissila se Besonderhede As jy belangstel om 'n miniatuur babakotjie te koop of net jou ondersteuning wil toon, kan jy Prissila kontak by 079 126 4713. Addisionele Inligting Hoe lank vat dit om een te maak? sover maak ek 3 per dag van optrek verf en beddegoed stellietjies Kan mens verskillende kleure kry?

- Potch Powered the ProteasIn School Talk·September 12, 2023It seems the Potchefstroom crowds and the magic in Potchefstroom's air did it for the Proteas that raced to a fantastic score of 338 in their alloted overs, with Australia managing to reach 227 in the 34th over. Altough many would say that the Proteas slacked in the end and could have finihed the game earlier, nonetheless the team won by 111 runs, the proverbial nelson so to say. Image: The Go-To Guy Creation The next game now takes place in Centurion and the series is still very much alive. With about three weeks to go to the World Cup this performance showed that South Africa could possibly improve on their recent on and off performance, and perhaps just shake that "Choke" that seems to have lingered over our cricketers during the global showcase that we so desperately want and know we should be brining home. The bowler of the day for SA was Coetzee with 4 for 50 and with the bat Markram got 102 not out, also then getting the man of the match award. Perhaps the Proteas should try and bottle some of the spirit they got at Potchefstroom and take this with them to the World Cup as it was a great team to watch and a great game played by our team.6040

- Love Conquers a Pandemic, A Must Watch DocumentaryIn Performing Arts Talk·September 13, 2023A world came to a standstill, streets were empty, stay indoors was the advice given... anxiety, fear, and a world in turmoil, how would love prevail in these times, how would couples see marriage and getting married... it's a global pandemic and saying "I do" becomes a challenge Still the Documentary from Desmond and Vera Denton In a world clouded by uncertainty and chaos, the documentary "Still" emerges as a testament to the enduring power of love. Crafted by Fine Art Wedding Film, this evocative piece takes us deep into the intimate worlds of couples who dared to dance in the eye of the storm—planning their weddings in the midst of a global pandemic. While some may see a wedding as a lavish ceremony or a legal formality, "Still" redefines it as an ultimate act of defiance and hope. Love Inspires Sacred Moments The documentary is an enchanting tapestry, woven from the stories of several couples who chose to affirm their commitment when it felt like the earth was shaking beneath them. With a camera that captures not just images but the essence of sacred moments, the filmmakers make us privy to the resilience and ingenuity that love inspires. Hearts Beating in Unison What's striking is not just the remarkable adaptability these couples show, but the palpable magic that fills the air as they utter their vows, share a first dance, or simply gaze into each other’s eyes. It’s as if they've managed to carve out a sanctuary where not even a pandemic can reach. For a brief interlude, the world's cacophony fades away, leaving only the sounds of hearts beating in unison. Love Against All Odds "Still" is not just a film; it's a movement. It reminds us that even in places where hope seems extinguished, love finds a way to ignite it anew. Just as a photograph captures a moment, freezing it for posterity, "Still" captures the transformative power of love against all odds. In its essence, "Still" tells us that love isn’t cancelled even if almost everything else is. It’s an inspiring narrative that feels like a much-needed balm for the collective soul, echoing with the timeless truth that love, indeed, conquers all.

It is an opportunity to explore, to empathize, and to be inspired by the stories of those who have dared to tread the path less taken—the path to a new home, a new life, and a new chapter in the story of America. Watch the Trailer Desmond Denton Image: The Go-To Guy Creations The brainchild of Desmond Denton, in partnership with the South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA, Journey Home is more than just a documentary. It's an invitation—a call to be part of the brave little footsteps that tread uncharted terrain. The cast, featuring the likes of Michelle Garth Venter, Riaan Venter, Candice Weber, The Moonsamy Family, and Carl Elixir, is a testament to the diverse stories that converge under the American flag. Directed by the visionary duo of Vera Denton and Desmond Denton, and enhanced by the exquisite sound design of Christiaan Rossouw, this documentary sets out to be a platform for the voices of immigrants. It's a deeply personal journey, not just for those who moved from South Africa to the USA but for anyone who has ever experienced the emotional rollercoaster of leaving behind the familiar to embrace the unknown.6064
