Spar suspends Namibian product following 3 deaths in RSA

Spar suspends Namibian product following 3 deaths in RSA

Spar management in South Africa has taken the precautionary step of removing Namibian-produced vanilla-flavored Top Score porridge from their shelves following the tragic deaths of three children in various locations across South Africa who allegedly consumed the product.

The children, aged between 3 and 5, reportedly fell ill after ingesting the porridge, leading to serious health complications. The specific areas affected include Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Cape Town, where local health authorities are investigating the incidents.

In an internal communiqué dated 28 September, Spar announced that they are currently awaiting forensic results from laboratory tests conducted on the product. As part of their safety protocol, all stock of Top Score porridge at distribution centers has been identified and suspended from further distribution to ensure customer safety.

“We appreciate your understanding and support as we work together to prioritize the health and well-being of our customers. The safety of our community is our top priority, and we will provide updates as soon as the test results are available. We will advise if any further action is necessary,” stated Spar in their communiqué.

Local health officials have urged parents to refrain from purchasing the product until the investigation is complete, emphasizing the importance of monitoring children's health closely and reporting any adverse reactions.

As investigations continue, both Spar and the Ministry of Health are committed to ensuring consumer safety and will take necessary actions based on the findings of the forensic tests.

Amidst these developments, some may speculate about the competitive market for Namibian products in South Africa. With competition already extremely high, particularly among South African local brands like Oats 4 Breakfast and Nutriblast, there is hope that this incident is not an attempt of economic sabotage to undermine Namibian products and negatively impact sales in the RSA.

South Africa: Oosterland, Waddingsveen, Ashleigh Brook, Itzehoe & Natal shipwrecks

SAHRA Maritime and Underwater Cultural Heritage

May 24:

“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”

1697: Two Dutch East Indiamen, the Oosterland and Waddingsveen, were lost on the same day during a strong gale in Table Bay in the Western Cape, just north of the Salt River mouth.

Two examples of complete Chinese blue-and-white porcelain artifacts that were excavated from Oosterland. They date to the Kangxi period (1662–1722 CE) and were probably private trade goods

Reports vary, but it is believed that no more than 17 of the approximately 400 people that were on board both vessels survived. Both wrecks were subject to an archaeological excavation during the late 1980s/early 1990s. The excavations lead to the discovery of many artefacts that lay preserved under the shifting sands of Table Bay which, because of the artefacts being found in context by archaeologists, helped to further our knowledge of what life was like on board these ships and to give a clearer picture of what goods were being traded between Europe, Southern Africa and the Far East.

1890: Ashleigh Brook, this British iron steam-powered ship wrecked at Dassen Island in the Western Cape in the early hours of the morning.

1911: Itzehoe, this German steam-powered cargo ship ran aground and wrecked on the rocks at Cape Recife in the Eastern Cape. The tug Sir Frederick tried to pull it off, but this was to no avail.

When it became clear that the ship would be lost, lighters were dispatched to get most of the cargo off before the weather turned. It later broke its back and was slowly taken by the sea. Parts of the hull are still visible today and are found at a depth of about 7 m.

1914: Natal, this steam-powered Norwegian whaler ran aground and wrecked on Robben Island in the Western Cape while chasing whales in a thick fog.

1981: A SAAF Douglas DC-3 (registration no. 6878) was destroyed in a fire on this day at the Johannesburg-Rand Germiston Airport in Gauteng while it was being serviced.

Unknown, Walvis Bay, Nambia

“This day in our shipwreck and aeronautical wreck history”

1780: Mentor, this Dutch East Indiaman foundered somewhere off the southern Cape coast in the Western Cape. Only two of the crew survived, having been found four days later, clinging to a piece of the poop deck by the French merchant ship, Le Saloman. 

1948: SAA Lockheed 18 Lodestar (registration no. ZS-ASW), this passenger transport aircraft crashed after striking a drainage ditch after running off the runway at Palmietfontein, in Johannesburg in Gauteng. It was damaged beyond repair with the 11 passengers and crew of four making it out alive.

South Africa: Number Plate Museum in Boksburg

The South African Number Plate Museum at the Foamy Rides car wash, Nursery and Tree Farm, in Boksburg

It all started when a customer gave Boksburg carwash owner Peter Greathead a few old number plates.

He decided to display them on a wall at his business. Amused customers saved their old plates and added to his collection – his only provison was that none were bought or stolen.

When Greathead moved to new premises which included a small nursery, he took the collection along and used the extra space to open the Number Plate Museum.

By that stage he had accumulated hundreds of plates from all over the world. But it’s still a work in progress. He is gunning for a Guinness World Record of the largest number plate collection, which stands at 11 345.

South Africa: 1970-s vintage video of Johannesburg | Старое видео Йоханнесбург Южная Африка

Vintage footage of Johannesburg - perhaps beginning of 1970s. Johannesburg, informally known as Jozi, Joburg, or "The City of Gold", is the largest city in South Africa, classified as a megacity, and is one of the 100 largest urban areas in the world.

According to Demographia, the Johannesburg-Pretoria urban area (combined because of strong transport links that make commuting feasible) is the 26th-largest in the world, with 14,167,000 inhabitants.

Johannesburg is the seat of the Constitutional Court, the highest court in South Africa. Most of the major South African companies and banks have their head offices in Johannesburg. The city is located in the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills and is the centre of large-scale gold and diamond trade.

South Africa: AGTERPLAAS A.D. 1999 - 04-01-2022

Accommodation situated in Melville Johannesburg, South Africa

Agterplaas B&B is situated on a very quiet street overlooking the historical Melville Koppies in Johannesburg. The view, tranquility and bird life easily lull visitors into forgetting that they are in South Africa’s busiest city. Yet, the attractions of the 7th street boutiques, bookshops, coffee bars and nightclubs are just a stone throw away. We are approximately 3 km from the University of Johannesburg, the SABC and Media Park, 5 km from Milpark Hospital and 7 km from Wits University.

By a miracle from Above and the unbelievable kindness of dear friends, our Agterplaas B&B Guesthouse – in Melville, Johannesburg - survived the pandemic. Today – April 1st, 2022 – we can therefore celebrate 23 years of our existence with a full guest house. After a wonderful rainy season Johannesburg is greener than ever and attractions such as the Apartheid Museum are resuming their activities, whereas most businesses are already at full throttle.

Nestled on the very quiet and safe 6th Avenue, overlooking the Melville Koppies (a nature reserve on a range of hills), Agterplaas is centrally situated just off 7th Street (“Sewende Laan”). Internationally acclaimed leisure guide, Time Out, recently rated Melville amongst the world’s coolest: “a joyous, everyone-knows-everyone kind of place.” Furthermore, we are in close proximity to universities, hospitals and media but within 15 minutes’ driving from both the M1 Highway and Rosebank Gautrain Station. Our establishment is rated under the top 10% accommodations globally by the influential website TripAdvisor and constantly very highly ranked on Booking.com. The best breakfast in the world, air-conditioned rooms, free lock-up parking as well as inverter protected fibre access are included in our offering.

Come and experience true South African hospitality in one of our 14 restful en suite rooms – prices presently ranging between R665,00 (single in our special economy room – with garden view) and R1 511,00 (double in one of our prime rooms). To celebrate our 23 years in business (honestly not an April Fool’s joke) and the wonderful blessings that we have experienced, we will allow a ten percent discount on bookings made during the months of April through May 2022 – provided that the 50% deposit on accommodation is paid within the said period.

Deur 'n wonderwerk van Bo en die ongelooflike omgee van dierbare vriende, het Agterplaas B&B Gastehuis – in Melville, Johannesburg – die pandemie oorleef. Daarom kan ons vandag – 1 April 2022 – die 23 jaar van ons bestaan met 'n stampvol gastehuis vier. Na 'n wonderlike reënseisoen is Johannesburg groener as ooit en besienswaardighede soos die Apartheidsmuseum hervat hul aktiwiteite, terwyl die meeste besighede reeds volledig aan die gang is.

Agterplaas, geleë in die baie stil en veilige 6de Laan, met 'n uitsig oor die Melville Koppies ('n natuurreservaat op 'n reeks heuweltjies), is sentraal geleë vlak by 7de Straat ("Sewende Laan"), wat volgens die internasionaal bekroonde ontspanningsgids Time Out onder die wêreld se “coolste” gereken word: "'n vrolike, almal-ken-almal soort van plek." Verder is ons naby universiteite, hospitale en media, maar binne 15 minute se ry vanaf beide die M1 snelweg en Rosebank Gautreinstasie. Ons word onder die top 10% akkommodasie-plekke wêreldwyd gegradeer deur die invloedryke webwerf Tripadvisor en bly ook baie hoog op die ranglys van Booking.com. Die beste ontbyt ter wêreld (lees gerus die resensies☺), lugversorgde kamers, gratis toesluitparkering sowel as gerugsteunde internet-toegang is by ons aanbod ingesluit.

Kom ervaar egte Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid in een van ons 14 rustige en suite-kamers – pryse wissel tans tussen R665,00 (enkelpersoon in ons spesiale ekonomie-kamer – met tuinuitsig) en R1 511,00 (dubbel in een van ons “prima” kamers). Om ons 23 jaar in besigheid te vier (eerlik nie 'n Aprilgek-grap nie) en die wonderlike seëninge wat ons ervaar het, sal ons tien persent afslag toestaan op verblyf wat gedurende die maande April tot Mei 2022 gemaak word – mits die 50% deposito op verblyf binne die genoemde tydperk betaal word.

Legacy Hotels & Resorts update

Legacy Hotels & Resorts

Update from our MD, Neil Yates 

Dear Legacy Family

I trust that you and your loved ones are all well and staying safe. We are now some eighteen months into the Corona Virus pandemic, and it looks to continue for the foreseeable future. I know we all have “Covid Fatigue”, but as it is not going away, we cannot ignore it, we need to deal with it. The pandemic has had a devastating economic impact on the world, the countries we operate in, our company Legacy, and has impacted each of our lives.

The following are some statistics I have picked up which highlight this impact.

° Globally, travel and tourism are one of the most impacted and affected sectors.

° International travel dropped by 74% in 2020 and almost 62 million jobs in travel and tourism were lost worldwide.

° Foreign arrivals to South Africa dropped from 15.8 million in 2019 to 5 million in 2020.

° It is estimated that the South African tourism sector lost R54.2 billion in 2020.

° From 1.6 million jobs being supported by tourism in 2018, this has fallen by 60% to approximately 640,000.

While now having been through a very tough period, the reality is that the world is now starting to open up again, and the travel starved are planning their next trip. As Legacy, we are working together to ensure that South Africa and Namibia are front and center when they are considering where to visit. In order to be there, we need to be considered a safe destination to visit – we know that with all South Africa and Namibia has to offer, we are already a great tourist destination, so the emphasis now is on SAFE.

The World Health Organisation regional director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, made the statement “we know no one will be safe until everyone is safe”, or simply put, no one is safe until everyone is vaccinated.

The data shows that vaccines work and are safe. The risk of being adversely affected post vaccination is extremely low, and is substantially lower than the risk of being adversely affected post Covid-19 infection. People who are vaccinated pose less of a risk to others when they contract Covid-19, with their transmission risk being 50% to 80% lower should they inadvertently contract Covid-19. The vaccination is the single most important thing we can do to protect ourselves and others against Covid-19.

In summary, times are tough, but we remain positive and are hard at work to make our hotels and lodges the first choice to both domestic and international travellers, leisure and corporate. As already stated, that means we need to be seen as a safe destination to visit, and the first step in achieving this is by all staff getting vaccinated.

Stay safe and remember to social distance, wear a mask, and regularly wash your hands and sanitise.

Neil Yates

Managing Director

Legacy Hotels & Resorts

2021 TRAVEL TRENDS

"As the world slowly starts getting back to normality, we must remember that change has not only happened within our own walls. It has also brought about a shift in the travel trends and behaviours of our target market. We, as an industry need to remain nimble footed and structure our business models around this as well ", according to Hara Jackson, Sales Director of Legacy Hotels & Resorts.

Emerging 2021 travel trends that we've noticed:

° Proximity to Gauteng
° Lastminute Travel
° Cape Town to flourish once again
° Flight shortages
° Vaccinations and Sanitisation
° Conferencing on the rise
° Corporate travel remains slow
