The Springboks cruised to their third victory of the year with a comfortable 29-13 win over Italy in Witbank. After an early penalty exchange, Bryan Habana stormed over for the opening try. Francois Louw followed up swiftly with a try of his own after a good Bokke maul. Kicker Morne Steyn went over for a third on half time before coverting it himself to give the Boks a comfortable 22-3 lead at the break. However the South Africans took their foot off the gas in the second half with the game all but assured it seemed after Zane Kirchner scored the fourth try to leave the score a 29-3. A yeloow card for the returning Butch James was followed up by a short Italian response that included a try and a penalty but the South African victory never looked in doubt. The Boks face Italy again next week in East London before two week preparations begin for the defence of their Tri Nations title against New Zealand in Auckland. The new SOUTH AFRICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE has been launched in the UK. The inaugural Executive Committee has been elected and at its first meeting at the Anglo American offices in London earlier this year elected our own Mike Miller as Deputy President and Acting President during the formative process. The current South African High Commissioner in the UK, Dr Lindiwe Mabuza is the first Honorary President of the organisation and Prince Velekaya Shange of the Zulu Royal Household is the first Life Vice President. Mike Miller is also one of two Executive Directors of the new Chamber which will take offices temporarily on the first floor of SAPRO House, Maidenhead. Stephen Bourne is the other Executive Director and Company Secretary of the new Chamber. SARWA has become a sub-committee of the new Chamber under the chairmanship of Kevin Gallagher. David Smuts is chairing the Membership sub-committee, James Durrant the Media, Publicity and Marketing sub-committee and Craig Varney the Finance sub-committee. Meetings of the Executive and sub-committees have already been held at the South African High Commission in Trafalgar Square as well as the Anglo American and Maitland offices in London. The formal launch of the new Chamber is scheduled for October in both the UK and SA. For further details contact Mike Miller. The SARWA website www.sarwa.co.uk lists all members and their details so that customers can find them easily. It shows details of all SARWA members who own RETAIL STORES, ONLINE STORES, WHOLESALERS, PUBS and RESTAURANTS, and SERVICES in the UK. SARWA and the new Chamber of Commerce aims to increase the quality and lower the cost of the South African shopping experience in the UK. Contact Mike at saproint@compuserve.com for further details. MIKE'S LETTER FROM SOUTH AFRICA MY MEMORIES OF MEETING NELSON MANDELA. In 1996 while I was still in the corporate world with Colgate Palmolive, my Marketing team organised the "Miracles for Kids" programme which raised nearly three million rand for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund. The first of my three meetings with (then) President Mandela was at the NMCF offices in Corlett Drive Johannesburg. As mentioned in previous weeks, President Mandela was extremely gracious to our team coming across as a lovable grandfatherly figure. He was delighted to learn that we were from the makers of Colgate toothpaste. "I used Colgate toothpaste all of the time that I was on Robben Island, and still do" he told us enthusiastically. We made suitable noises of approval but all agreed afterwards that having seen the state of his teeth we wouldn't advertise the fact! More next time.
