The modern malting era began with the building of a malting plant at SAB’s Isando Brewery in the late 1950s, resulting in an increasing involvement in local malting barley development programmes. |

There are an estimated 37 000 000 orphans in South Africa. Almost 57 per cent of the population are living in poverty and an estimated 50 000 children die each year from malnutrition or other diseases that would be curable with adequate medical care. Our main goal is to provide homes, food, clothing and education to the "Street Kids" in South Africa. There are many children who choose to live on the streets, rather than at home with their families because of the unbearable abuse and violence they have to endure at home.
MyHope.org.za is a non-profit organisation which has started in Hermanus, South Africa.
Please visit our website to see how you can make a difference in these children's lives. Web: www.myhope.org.za Email:

 A Southern Right Whale Breaching These stately creatures are extremely intelligent, graceful and majestic. For eons they have travelled the seas singing their whale songs and danced to the beat of the waves. Mothers form close relationships with their young, who start suckling from birth until about one year of age. As mammals, they are born with a fine sprinkling of hair which through the years mostly disappear.
Whaling started in Norway, some 5000 years ago, with the Southern Right Whales making easy targets by ruthless hunters. These beautiful animals are slow swimmers and float when killed, thus making them the “Right Whale” to hunt. Even though commercial whaling has been banned for more than 20 years, people continue to fire harpoons into these gentle creatures, causing many species to be endangered. The Southern Right Whale is conservation dependent with about 3000 in the sea to date. |
