Merise Afrikaans - Julie/Augustus 2016

في هذه القضية

Ai, dis darem maar lekker om Afrikaans te kan geniet in Annerland! Merise skryf graag oor kuiers wat plaasvind en in hierdie uitgawe vertel ons van twee Afrikaanse gesellighede wat in die nabye toekoms gaan gebeur. Onthou om ons te laat weet (info@merisemedia.com.au) van sosiale gebeure of gesellighede in jou omgewing.

Rita Kritzinger was so gaaf om ‘n stukkie te skryf oor hul lewe in Bathurst en ons moes net eenvoudig meer te wete kom oor hierdie dorp (amptelik ‘n stad) in NSW, waar talle eks-Suid-Afrikaners woon. Ons supersjef, Renier du Plessis, woon ook daar en het Rita se arm gedraai om haar heerlike familieresep vir kammawildspastei met Merise te deel.

Stephanie van Tonder het tydens hul onlangse besoek aan Suid-Afrika ‘n stel met die metropolisie afgetrap omdat sy met ‘n Australiese bestuurslisensie bestuur het. Merise het gaan nalees oor wat die wet oor hierdie aspek sê.

ShowMax – meer as twaalfduisend programme! My naweke is nie meer dieselfde nie, maar ek kla nie. Wat ‘n plesier om so bederf te word met die keur van Afrikaanse TV-programme wat net ‘n klik ver is. Watter programme tel onder jou gunstelinge? Stuur gerus ‘n e-pos na info@merisemedia.com.au en vertel ons.

Lekker lees!

Merise Afrikaans Magazine Description:

Merise is a digital family magazine and was started in 2011 to inform, encourage and assist each other as we together face the challenges of settling and integrating into our new community. We talk openly about the different aspects of our lives that take strain through the migration process – from helping our kids to adjust to their new schools to leaving parents behind in another country and changes in the dynamics of our personal relationships.
We provide valuable information about financial and visa matters, inviting specialists to write articles about topics which would be beneficial to our readers. Merise writes about the beauty of our new country by featuring different geographical areas in Australia and New Zealand, thereby giving would-be migrants or readers who are planning holidays or moving interstate a better understanding about what to expect in their new place of residence.
Merise is a new friend to you and your whole family.
The ascending aircraft is symbolic of her desire to reach for the stars. Even her name is symbolic. By dividing the word in two, you get “me rise”, accentuating her desire to make improvements to herself and her life.
It is important for Merise to support her friends, not just newcomers, but all expats in Australia and New Zealand who left their homeland to find new means of livelihood “Down Under”.
Merise lends a hand in almost every way. She’s been through the immigration process and experienced it all first hand. She is thoroughly aware of difficulties that may arise for both newcomers and experienced expats and knows how to overcome, or should we say “survive”, these difficulties.
Merise is vivacious and enthusiastic and lives her life in her new country to the full. She loves exploring and is always on the lookout for new challenges and new experiences. At the same time she enjoys sharing her experiences with her friends, always encouraging and inspiring them.
Merise is fully bilingual and she has English- as well as Afrikaans-speaking friends. She divides her time equally between the two groups of friends and shares the same information with both groups.
You will have to go quite far to find a friend as special as Merise . . .
