Road Toll Fees To Increase In Mpumalanga Province
The road toll fees are due to increase from 1 March 2009.This is directly going to impact on the pricing of our African Crafts products which we sell from the Mpumalanga Crafts Market.We normally drive there to pick up items which we have sold and the toll fees are already high.We are not going to increase our prices yet but will wait to see how much of an impact it has.We will instead try and keep more stock at our despatch area in Pretoria so we will pick up more items at one time and decrease the cost per item.This is also bad news for the many South Africans from the Gauteng area who spend a lot of their holidays in Mpumalanga as it is the closest scenic province to the Gautengers.This global recession is showing no signs of easing up.Wish we knew how much longer this is going to take..........

10 000 uniforms donated to poor children in Mpumalanga
School uniforms will be donated to 10 000 poor children in Mpumalanga before the end of January to help parents who can't afford to buy them.
Mpumalanga Health and Social Development MEC Fish Mahlalela will start visiting schools from Wednesday, when uniforms will be given to 600 children.
"The department acknowledges that going back to school can be very costly, especially with school uniform prices soaring," said department spokesperson Abie Ndlela on Monday.
The children will also be given food parcels for three months, while a poverty alleviation project called War Room on Poverty will be launched by the end of January.
The MEC will use the uniform handovers to encourage children to attend all their classes and for communities to take care of their children.
Ndlela thanked social workers and community development workers for helping the department identify poor children who need school uniforms and food parcels.
