Edition 34 of 2004, Friday 10 September 2004 Dear Reader, This week we saw NASA's Genesis space capsule slammed into the Utah desert after its parachutes failed, leaving scientists unsure if its invaluable cargo of microcosmic solar dust survived the journey to Earth. We also saw according to Absa's monthly house price index that
was released on Monday that House prices increased by a record 27.7 percent
year-on-year in August 2004 from a revised record 26.8 percent (26.1 percent)
year-on-year in July 2004.
From snoek (which can be bought fresh for R20 or less) to crayfish and
mussels from the bay. The Weskus (West Coast), Western Cape, South
Africa is also a popular spot for tourists to see whales during their
mating season, which is from early August to about November. Focus
on, this week takes a look at this beautiful region of our country.
