- The meaning of my daughter Krissmonne's name(born 12 December 2000). When my wife was pregnant with her we both did not attend church. On choosing a name I suggested, Christopher, if it is a boy and Krissmonne(combination of Christoffel and Monica) if it is a girl. Two s's an m's deliberate as my father misspelt my younger sisters name with the same, when he went to register het. (Sussanna) We did not have a clue of how Powerful the meaning of that name was.
- Intaka's logo. I designed this after i had a vision. I was sitting on the steps of the old Roseacres Clinic in Primrose after recuperating from a heart attack, the third one.

I begged the nurse to keep the bible and she refused me. It meant so much to me I registered a company .

Three monts later she phoned me, ther was a guinea fowl in het chicken coup, that I built her. She thought it belonged to someone and left it there as they would collect it,aftre she maid an announcement in church about it. three months later we visited her, there were a breeding pair in her yard with 16 offspring. Coincedence,chance ? you decide.

The Next period
- I had a stroke, that left me completely deaf. I was fired in ICU because i could not fulfill my contract. My wife was away to bury her brother. I had no friends, no visitors no sympathy and worst all no prayers. I did not eat for 11 days in ICU. I was at deaths door, I could not breath.I panicked.Death is not pretty. My biggest fear- I will never hear my little girl say"Dady I love you". All I did was pray - night and day and cry without tears the pain in my soul was unbearable. I asked God to end my life, He declined an I now praise and thank Him for it. I can hear again, only functionally deaf. Cannot hear on Cell phones, a lttle on landlines, well face to face provided there is no external noise.
- My daughter got married, I attended but did not feel well. back at home is had a black out, wa admitted in Hospital with neumonia and discharged after three days. later I felt worse. The doctors did not pick up I had another heart attack. my lungs were full of water. Again I ended uo in ICU. They told my wife they could do little for me. I Heard it. Death's door again.This time my wife and Krissmonne visited. No other visitors. In out of ICU and back for seven days. Fasted and prayed night and day. A kind doctor, gave me "the gift of life", I Heard that. I know have a Pacemaker, cost a small fortune. i finally can move about more, be more active, loose weight I gained through months of Il health. I Prais God I am alive.
- Still do not work. Business ground to a halt due to health. Finances desperately low. Every time I fall down I pray look up and thank God, then I get up and try again.
INCOLN, ABRAHAM (1809–1865)
Sixteenth president of the United States, 1861–1865
I sincerely hope father may recover his health; but at all events tell him to remember to call upon and confide in our great and good and merciful Maker, who will not turn away from him in any extremity. He notes the fall of a sparrow and numbers the hair of our head, and He will not forget the dying man who puts his trust in Him.”
