Congratulations to the Sabona Team and all who have supported us over the last 12 months, advertisers, contributors, family and friends. This is our 1 year anniversary and sixth issue of Sabona Magazine!! |
The issue is packed full of informative, fun and wonderful stories of success. With Easter just past, the middle of 2008 is fast approaching, which means End of Financial Year is upon us again. We thought it only fitting to ask our helpful taxation experts to give us some tax and accounting tips. See Patricia Bakker’s article on End of Financial Year Tips.
Viewed by many with suspicion and others with awe as something untouchable, Multi Level Marketing is gaining increased attention, especially amongst the Southern African community. The business opportunities are insurmountable and many Southern Africans have that fantastic gift of the gab, big picture vision and not to mention we are great at building lasting and beneficial relationships! All of which are identified by some real life, everyday experts in the industry as tools of the trade. See our feature on some of the MLM organisations that have stood the test of time. And if you are still not convinced, we have provided some facts about MLM as a home based business.
There are some exciting African themed events happening downunder in 2008, one of which is the Soweto Gospel Choir. Their new show “African Spirit” is touring in all major centres across Australia. Also in this issue, part two of Annamarie DeVilliers’ Planning for a Happy Landing tips, Rugby Report and a quiz to test your knowledge from Huguenot Hottentot as well as our business regulars, fishing, pet care and two young SAussies bouncing their way into international stardom. Also, check out this month’s DVD review by Loren Nel and your chance to win the first in the series of the wild and wonderful Go Wild, Africa Wildlife Series.
This issue, our cover photo was taken in the Kruger National Park by Marius Fourie (Vereeniging). Marius does all kinds of photography including weddings, sport, model portfolios, wildlife, private functions and many more. For more details visit sabona.com.au/mariusfourie. This picture and others are available for purchase from our website www.sabona.com.au/gallery, as well as past issue covers.
Thanks to everyone who is visiting Sabona online http://www.sabona.com.au/ and commenting on your favourite articles or issues of interest. We love to hear from you.
Until next time…

Sabona vs Sawubona
It’s not an accident or a mistake, it’s a bit of a play on words. Of course Sawubona in Zulu is a greeting, so we say Sa(wu)bona to all South Africans in Australia, welcoming them here, but BONA is a Setswana word meaning LOOK or VIEW, so it is a VIEW on South Africa or South Africans being SA - BONA.
