NANIMA'S PANCHAAT
You strike a woman you strike a rock August is women's month. We pay tribute to all the mothers and sisters who were a force to be reckoned with.
Picture what it must have been like - over 20 000 women of all ages and races from all across South Africa marching together towards the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Though each marcher must have thought about the risk of arrest, they bravely came together on 9 August 1956 as a formidable force to protest against the pass laws that proposed further restrictions on the movements of women.
It is an ideal time to celebrate and reflect on the status of women today and the advances made since that historical day when South African women organised one of the largest and most successful protests in the country's history. The phrase 'Strike a woman, strike a rock' has come to represent women's courage and strength. The Congress Alliance decided to mark 9 August celebrated as Women's Day, and it is now, in the new South Africa, commemorated each year as a national holiday.Ramadaan Preparations Mothers, sisters are you ready? The clock is ticking and Ramadaan will soon be here. Be prepared now so you can spend more time making ibadaat. All the Nanima's are waiting for your calls. Call now to place your orders to avoid disappointment. Restaurant of the Month A subscriber highly recommends this place. The Chip Shop in Ormonde This has to be the best Indian Halaal take-away food I have tasted in a long time. Less than 5 minutes from Gold Reef City, it's a great inexpensive halaal place to try that serves both quantity and quality, especially since Gold Reef City no longer has halaal chow. I make it a point to eat there as often as I can as the service is always great. The food looks good, smells great and tastes even better. They have something called a Russian Special, this is a pleasure to all the senses. It's a roll with a Russian that's been fried until it's crisp, chips, cheese, a mix of delicious sauces, and then more chips on top. Finally the whole thing is toasted. It's messy and delicious. They have a wide variety on their menu, including divine pizzas, schwarmas, T-bone steak etc If you haven't tried The Chip Shop yet, you have no idea what you missing out on! It is located at the Tiffani's Centre, Cnr Alwen & Dorado Streets, Ormonde.

MADALA'S GREEN FINGERSHow to change a tyre?Always make sure: * The spare is inflated. Check it regularly * The jack in the right place * You read the car manual Instructions on changing a car tyre Right, here's how to change your car tyre: * Apply handbrake * Place the jack on a firm ground, as flat as possible * Loosen the nuts while the car's weight is on the ground. This can be difficult, especially if the nut wrench is short * The longer the wrench handle, the better the leverage and the easier it is to remove the nuts * If the wrench handle is long enough, it can be angled in a way that allows you to stand on it to loosen stubbornly tight nuts * If your wrench is too short, buy a knuckle bar and socket to fit Or get a piece of pipe to slot onto the wrench handle * Remember to wind anti-clockwise to undo nuts, clock-wise to do them up * If you have a biscuit tyre, do not travel faster than 80 km/h and get the tyre fixed as soon as possible * Jack the wheel high enough to fit the spare tyre on * Remove the nuts and remove the wheel * When you've finished kneeling on your plastic sheet, use it to protect your boot from the dirty tyre * Lift the new wheel on and screw the nuts back on, starting with the bottom one * When the nuts are finger-tight, lower the car, then tighten them properly - standing on the wrench handle to give a light bounce, if you had to stand on it to loosen them * If you over-tighten the nuts you can warp the brake components, but not to tighten them enough is dangerous ANNOUNCEMENTSWEDDINGMuhammed Ebrahim Makda of Mayfair to Humairah Khan of LadysmithRidwaan Nair to Rehana Kayat of Benoni Adeel Doodha of Lenz to Zarina Essop of Emmerantia Ziyad Desai of Lenasia to Rookaya Jajabhay of Crown Gardens Ahmed Loonat of Lenz to Farhana Ayoob of Laudium Ismail Rawat Ebrahim of Lenz to Zeenat Mohammed of Lenz Moosa Bahadur of Palmridge to Saleha Jassat of Azaadville Ahmed Kara of Marlboro to Shakira Minty of Klarkdorp Sulaiman Khan of Shellcross to Hajira of PMB Hamza to Tasmia Latiff of Ermelo Mohseen Mia to Nazira Dendar of Ermerlo Abdullah Abass of Actonville to Tayiba Varachia of Lenz Ahmed Laher of Azaadville to Fatima Ballim of PMB Naeem Loonat of Marlboro to Aneesa Dajee of Benoni Mohammed Akoojee Bhamjee of Nelspruit to Mahdiyya Akhalwaya of Middleburg Naseer Chandlay of Jappes Town to Salma Joowalay of Kenzington Bilal Mohammed of Benoni to Maleeha Patel of Durban Hfz Ahmed Vawda of Merebank Durban to Jamila Tootla of Stanger Maqsood Mahamed of Rustenburg to Zainub Omarjee of Rustenburg Ebrahim Chotia of Azaadville to Asma Jeewa of Overport Durban Mohammed Husain to Zaynab Majothie Masood Ahmed Munshi to Aziza Jogiat of Lenz South Ziyaad Cassim of Rustenburg to Faaizah Abdullah of Pietermaritzburg Zaine Makda of Florida to Naeema Hoosen of Lenasia Ext 11 A Mohammed Ismail of Parlock to Sumaya Yakoob of Harwick Ridwaan Tarajia of Isipingo Beach to Mu minah Makra of Marlboro Gardens Azhar Casoo of Lenz South to Frahana Ameer of Greenside Zaheer Bhayat of Roshnee to Shaakira Cassim of Roshnee Anwaar Sirkoth to Sameera Jalaser Send us your Wedding Announcements Radio Islam Nikah Page BIRTHSend us your Birth Announcements RECIPE
