SELFS 'n skoonheidskoningin moet op Moedersdag haar ma bederf. In die huishouding van Paarliet Tammy-Anne Fortuin, eerste prinses in die Mej SA-kompetisie, gaan Sondag ook groot pamperlang vir ma Anthea inhou, met ontbyt in die bed en 'n uit-ete.

"Vir my is Moedersdag 'n dag om dankie te sê aan my ma en eer te gee aan haar.

"Ons maak selfs op hierdie spesiale dag die kombuis vir haar skoon!" het Tammy-Anne gesê.

Familie beteken vir haar baie.

"Ons leef soms só vinnig ten haastig, dat ons skoon verby mekaar leef. Dit is lekker om as gesin net saam te kan wees en tyd te spandeer met mekaar."

Ma Anthea is ook nie bietjie in haar skik met wat haar vier spruite altyd vir haar op Moedersdag doen nie.

"Ek as moeder is bly om dit te ontvang. 'n Mens moet nooit nalaat om te sê hoe jy voel nie. Ons moet blomme gee vir mekaar terwyl ons nog lewe.

"Die beste van Moederskap vir my is om my kinders te kan bederf.

"Nie in die materialistiese sin van die woord nie, maar om vir hulle te wys ek gee om, soos om byvoorbeeld vir hulle hul gunstelingkos te maak en klein geskenkies te koop."

Tammy-Anne beskryf Anthea as die rots in haar lewe.

"'n Mens besef altyd in jou donkerste tye watter belangrike rol jou ma in jou lewe speel.

"Ek kon nog altyd oor enigiets met haar praat. My ma is my beste vriendin."

* Celebrity daughter Tammy-Anne Fortuin (Miss South Africa runner-up) is planning on pampering her mother on Mother's Day.

A TASK team under the leadership of Drakenstein Municipal Council and the local Department of Welfare, was chosen to drive the poverty alleviation programme that was started in February.

At a recent meeting of roleplayers from the different governmental institutions in the valley, it was decided to develop a draft memorandum of understanding.

They also decided to broaden the base and get faith-based and other NGO's on board.

The Department of Social Services is going to second a staff member to the Drakenstein Municipality to help with the administrative side of the programme.

An indaba to thrash out issues such as a common understanding of and approach to poverty, strategies and projects will be held in the near future.

It was emphasised that everything must be linked to the IDP (Integrated Development Plan).

NGO's and faith-based organisations that want their information on the databasis for future meetings, can write to The Poverty Alleviation Programme, Community Services, PO Box 12, Paarl, 7620 or fax to 872-8054.

CHRISTALINE DAMPIES, well-known singer from Paarl, is one of the nominations for the prestigious Shoprite Checkers/SABC 2 Woman of the Year Award.

The nominee's capability as a role model is also important.

The winners will be announced at a gala event in Cape Town on Thursday 31 July.
