Sunday, November 25th, 2007 - Ons Klyntji Launch - Rian Malan @ The Independent Armchair Theatre	25 November 2007
Ons Klyntji is the oldest Afrikaans zine in the entire world, including Edenvale – this year it is 111 years old. The brand new 148-page issue is launched at the Armchair today and it features English, Afrikaans and one Polish piece of writing as well as photographs, graphic art, strips, interviews, poetry and CD and book reviews. Contributors include Koos Kombuis, Aryan Kaganof, Gary Cummiskey, Danie Marais, Jason Bronkhorst, Samantha Reinders and about 70 other diverse people. Oh yes, it comes with a 22-track CD called ‘Ons Kerk Se Mense’ consisting of perfectly strange music featuring acts such as Insek, Esme Eva Kwaad, Paul Riekert, The Buckfever Underground and Andries Bezuidenhout. Come at 17:00 for a bring and braai upstairs on the balcony of the Armchair if you are keen to meet some of the contributors to the magazine or just to have a chilled time. There will be a cash bar, so leave your booze, just bring your wors, we’ll supply the coals. At 19:30 we’ll move downstairs into the Armchair where the official proceedings will be held. For an hour, contributors to the zine will read some of their published work and Robin Auld and The Buckfever Underground will play a few songs to ease things along. By 21:00, the stage belongs to the magnificent Rian Malan who will be rounding out the evening. Ons Klyntji November 2007 issue will be for sale on the night for R60 including the Ons Kerk Se Mense CD. Bargain? Bargain.The Buckfever Underground: “If there were any justice in the South African music scene, the Buckfever Underground would be huge. Since 1998 they have consistently produced albums of stark originality that make the majority of their peers look like half-arsed chancers and The Buckfever Underground Saves is yet another impressive chapter in this band`s career.” – Mail & GuardianThe Buckfever Underground began in 1998 as little more than an in-joke/social experiment by Toast Coetzer (English and Afrikaans spoken word vocals) and Gilad Hockman (random acoustic guitar). Follwoing the release of their debut EP - Jou Medemens Is Dood - the band slowly began to find its audience and the beginnings of a cult following.The current line-up includes drummer Stephen TImm and experimental guitarist Righard Kapp and that band have recently released their first full length album entitled ‘Saves’. Saves is another clear step in the group’s development. Featuring 11 tracks, Toast Coetzer’s lyrics are as incisive and observant as ever while the band finds its sound drawing from its richest landscape yet.Rian Malan: Rian Malan se werke is al in 14 tale vertaal. Literêre figure soos Don de Lillo en John le Carre het hom al beskryf as ‘’n skrywer met asemrowende krag’. Hy was al ’n plaaswerker, het in vragtreine oor Amerika getoer, het help skryf aan draaiboeke saam met Mel Brooks en Mick Jagger, was joernalis vir Esquire en Rolling Stone-tydkrifte en het in die afgelope paar jaar internasionale aandag getrek met sy bevraagtekening van die Afrikan Vigs-pandemie se statistieke. Hy het ook die ondersoek na die regte van Solomon Linda geloods, die vergete Zoeloe wat die gewilde liedjie The Lion Sleeps Tonight geskep het. Diegene wat sy veelbewoë beroep gevolg het, sal verstom staan om te verneem dat hy nou begin het om musiek te maak, en dit nogal in ’n genre wat hyself as “Boeremusiek” bestempel.Malan het homself leer kitaarspeel, en resensente het regop gesit in 2005 toe sowat agt van sy liedjies opgeneem is deur die nou gewilde Radio Kalahari Orkes (RKO) se debuut-album, Stoomradio. Sy demo het by Lloyd Ross opgeëindig. Ross is die stigter van Shifty Records, die onafhanklike platemaatskappy wat onder meer groot kanonne soos Koos Kombuis, James Phillips en Johannes Kerkorrel ontdek het. “Dit is eintlik Rian se liedjies wat my teruggelok het uit my selfopgelegde ballingskap as musiekvervaardiger, eers saam met RKO en nou met sy eie album.” Robin Auld: Born to Scots parents in Zambia, Robin is a prolific artist who has had two number one songs and received various awards in South Africa. He performs in and around his second base of London, and has also played shows in New York, Nashville and Scotland, comfortable performing with an electric band or solo with an acoustic guitar.`A genuine and unaffected flowing together of cultural strands..and, unlike a lot of singer-songwriters you can, hell you should, play this loud.` Unpeeled UK. `Sunkissed and generous of melody`.

What the doctor ordered	29 November 2007
<b>LONDON</b> It reads more like a spell from a Harry Potter book than a medical manual. But 300 years ago women having difficulty conceiving were advised to drink the spit from a hare’s mouth. A rare copy of <i>The Ladies’ Companion</i>, or <i>The English Midwife</i>, written by a Bristol physician, Dr William Sermon, and published in 1671, is expected to fetch £2,000 when auctioned at Sotheby’s in London next month.
It was right to extradite NatWest Three	28 November 2007
ANDREW FASTOW’S allegation that the NatWest Three were involved in the financial deceits which brought down Enron does not mean the men are guilty. But it does mean that they have a case to answer — a case which is rightly being tried in the US. <br/> <br/> The US has had no particular beef with British businessmen. It seeks out suspects of white-collar crime whoever they are, wherever they are. Kobi Alexander, the chief executive of Comverse Technology, was apprehended this week in Namibia, ending his two-month flight from American law enforcers seeking to prosecute him for the back-dating of stock options. The “perp walk” — the US practice of hand-cuffing and frog-marching a multi-millionaire American executive out of his office and into a waiting police car in full view of the waiting, tipped-off camera crews — has become a regular feature of the nightly news in the US. Foreigners who do business in America know full well that the Land of the Free is not nice to criminals, nor even criminal suspects. <br/> <br/> The public outcry over the extradition of the NatWest Three — Gary Mulgrew, David Bermingham and Giles Darby — has from the outset felt like a misplaced, sometimes mendacious venting of national frustration at Washington. <br/> <br/> The fact is that this case has nothing to do with the war in Iraq, with the presidency of George W. Bush, with Tony Blair’s Atlanticist inclinations. Even the esteemed British chief executives and chairmen who signed up to the letter calling for fair trials abroad looked like suckers: their campaign seemed to put patriotism, even a huffy anti-Americanism, before the due process of law. <br/> <br/> Certainly, they had a just complaint: the British Government agreed an extradition treaty without securing reciprocity from the US. But, for that, more fool the British Government. It knows a pledge from the Administration will not necessarily be honoured by Congress, particularly involving the issue of extradition. <br/> <br/> Fastow’s claims against the three British men may be suspect. The quiet chief financial officer of Enron has made a second career for himself shopping his old acquaintances. In 2002, he was indicted on 78 counts of fraud, money-laundering and conspiracy. Thanks to his “co-operation with the authorities”, he has been sentenced to six years in prison. <br/> <br/> Nonetheless, Fastow’s legal deposition describes a “close, personal relationship” with Mulgrew. Enron collapsed in 2001, undone by an intricate, ingenious web of financial fraud. Fastow claims that, in his financial dealings with the men as late as 2000, they “knew what I expected”. The deposition seems to skewer the argument that the men should be tried in Britain. They may have to face allegations of defrauding their former British employers too, but if they played a part in Enron’s downfall, then they have a case to answer in America as well. There is a principle at stake, one which underpins global capitalism and one which is as dear to every Briton as it is to every American: respect for the due process of law.
