A Taste of St Francis
A Taste of St Francis
A St Francis Bay Recipe Book – Originally compiled by the St Francis Friendship Club and edited and produced by Yvonne Bosman in 1993 and 1996.
More than 25 years ago, in 1993, the St Francis Bay Friendship Club, a lively and informal organisation set up by long-time residents to welcome newcomers to the Village of St Francis Bay, produced an iconic little recipe book – “A Taste of St Francis”. This was followed in 1996 by “A Second Taste of St Francis”.
One of the original founders of the Friendship Club, and the person who laboriously typed out all those recipes, Yvonne Bosman, would dearly love to see these books resuscitated and made available to a new generation of St Francis Bay residents, as well as our many visitors. She approached St Francis Bay-based publisher, Write-on Publishing, to undertake this task.
In addition to dozens of great recipes, the books contain stories and anecdotes about the history of the Village, as well as the reminiscences of many of the contributors to the book about their own “St Francis Bay Experience”.
The two original books are combined into one – “A Taste of St Francis”, and it is a faithfull reproduction of the content of the originals. However, instead of the quaint original typewritten (on an IBM golfball typewriter, Yvonne informs us) and photocopied booklets, the book is professionally typeset, printed and bound, with a full colour, original art cover by artist Wendy Barker. -
Des Infractions Environnementales en Droit Congolais
A une époque et dans le comportement actuel de certains compatriotes, la destruction des éléments de l’environnement n’a pas été constitutive et ne constitue pas pour ceux-là une violation pouvant entraîner une privation de la liberté. Et les professionnels de droit ont tendance de croire qu’il n’est pas nécessaire et impératif de poursuivre un délinquant de faits touchant aux ressources naturelles et à l’environnement. Un comportement plus que capitaliste selon lequel la nature reste une source de profit et non un élément de l’équilibre même de l’homme.
Les grands mouvements de protection de l’environnement sont parvenus à influer sur les politiques environnementales en général et les politiques criminelles en particulier pour relever la dimension pénale de la protection de l’environnement au-delà d’une simple bonne intention. L’enjeu de la responsabilité écologique est en réalité plus pratique, procédural que théorique. -
My Journey
“After more than 20 years of democracy, our Rainbow Nation must still face up to the harsh reality of corruption by politicians, a lack of ethics and poor governance by big business and incompetency and dishonesty
in our justice system.”
My huge dilemma over the past six years was whether or not it was prudent to publish “My Journey” with all the role players mentioned in the book still out there in the public domain.
But I feel that the time has come to tell our story of wrongful criminal charges and civil claims against us lasting more than ten years.
We South Africans have had enough!
Each of us must do something if our country is ever to move forward.
I believe each of us must make a stand, no matter how small and whatever the personal cost, to make South Africa a better and safer place to live in, to earn a living and bring up our families.
