There have been mixed feelings about this Blog since it's beginning about 2011 being a form of media to inform viewers and members with regard to continuity of its status, content, acceptance etc.
There are several followers who have entered their email addresses to receive any new content and several members who never accessed the site.
At present there are only 2 Administrators who have authority to add, alter or modify the layout of this site.
Shortly there will be nobody living in South Africa that can administer the site. If we do not appoint new administrators soon and the site gets cancelled then all of the information, documents, history will be lost forever.
It is therefor recommended that feedback be submitted to any of the Executive Committee as to whether the site should continue or cease to exist.
New administrators with full control or basic contributors who can add posts can easily be appointed.
At present the site is on hold waiting for acceptance or rejection. Your feedback can be submitted to Committee Members listed by clicking below:

Yesterday's Casual BRAAI / BBQ hosted by Bert Tuhi
ANZAKZN is in need of more members yet our functions are enjoying increased numbers over the last 18 months or so.
My assessment of yesterday's casual BRAAI / BBQ is that the food was brilliant and the hospitality was exceptional and the ambience provided the finishing positive touch.
Huge thanks to Bert, and family and those who contributed to this event.

a. Advertise events in local papers as well as supply articles on charity support.
b. Get a white pages phone entry.
c. Create an effective website.
d. Allow members to advertise on a such webpage as sponsors.
e. Create a Newsletter that can be sent to subscribers being both members and interested others. (Refusing to send to members that resign is blatant suicide)
f. Talk about being a member to friends in other social or business groups that you belong to.
g. Enable Associate Membership with full membership status after say 5 years. (Minor change to constitution required.)
Might be pessimistic though I believe that the comments to this entry will be close to if not ZERO.

Current El Nino status.(good news)
The following Article indicates that as of August this year the negative effects of the El Nino may have retreated to normal.
"August 2019 El Niño Update: Stick a fork in it
August 8, 2019
What’s on our plate?
The July Niño3.4 index, our primary index for monitoring ENSO, was 0.4°C above the long-term average, falling below the El Niño threshold of 0.5°C for the first time since last September. In addition, tropical atmospheric conditions have trended toward neutral, as the cloudiness and rainfall over the Pacific were near average over the past month. The trade winds also have been near average lately, indicating that Walker circulation, which weakens during El Niño, has shown signs of rebounding.
Monthly sea surface temperature in the Niño 3.4 region of the
tropical Pacific for 2018–19 (purple line) and all other El Niño years since 1950. Climate.gov graph based on ERSSTv5 temperature data.
Based on these latest indicators from the tropical ocean and atmosphere, NOAA forecasters have declared that El Niño has ended and neutral conditions have returned. Does a return to neutral mean that average weather conditions are expected to prevail around the globe? As Michelle pointed out a couple years ago, the answer is an emphatic NO. A return to neutral means that we will not get that predictable influence from El Niño or La Niña, but the atmosphere is certainly capable of wild swings without a push from either influence. Basically, ENSO-neutral means that the job of seasonal forecasters gets a bit tougher because we do not have that ENSO influence that we potentially can predict several months in advance (in a probabilistic form).
A change to neutral could also impact the Atlantic hurricane season, which typically ramps up this time of year and peaks in early-to-mid September. El Niño tends to produce hostile conditions for Atlantic hurricanes, as explained more thoroughly in Dr. Phil Klotzbach’s guest post, so a return to neutral means that we will not get a decisive push from El Niño to the Atlantic. The updated NOAA Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook is now available, so be sure to check how these changing ENSO conditions and other drivers are impacting the Atlantic hurricane season.
Sea surface temperature from June 1 through July 27, 2019. The region
of cool water in the tropical eastern Pacific, called the eastern
Pacific cold tongue, is clearly visible along the Equator, surrounded by
warmer waters to the north and south. The wavy features along the
northern and southern borders between the cold tongue and the warmer
waters are tropical instability waves. The waves on the north side are
clearer in part due to the stronger temperature gradient on that side of
the cold tongue. Map by NOAA Climate.gov from CDR data.
What’s on the menu?
Will ENSO-neutral conditions continue through fall and winter? Similar to last month, most of the computer models we consult predict that the ocean surface temperature in the Nino3.4 region will remain near average throughout this period. NOAA forecasters favor this outcome, predicting a 50-55% chance of neutral conditions remaining through winter."The next Event is scheduled for the 29th September 2019
The Committee has decided to have simple get together BRAAI on Sunday the 29th September.
Details to follow soon.

New Membership availability
The Australia and New Zealand Association - KwaZulu-Natal founded in 1934 in Durban can currently accommodate an increase in membership.
The Association was formed in 1934 during a period when quality wool was in over supply in Australia and no doubt in New Zealand at the time and the industry arranged for Mr Roy Faulks was asked to set up a slipper factory in Durban to produce woolen slippers to increase demand for exporting wool to South Africa.
The initiative was successful and the majority of employees were from both New Zealand and Australia.
Roy Faulks founded the Association to enable employees to have access to both enjoy each other in social get togethers and include local South African residents.
The many social events arranged have been attracting increased popularity in recent years.
Similar ANZA Associations have been established in many other countries around the world and to the best of our knowledge ANZA-KZN is the oldest.
The current membership is predominately made up of South Africans who are married to or related to Australian and New Zealand persons.
Anyone wishing to consider becoming members or just attending our many functions may browse this site or contact any of the current committee for more information. Committee members contact details are listed in the MENU Page COMMITTEE.
Alternatively one can provide an email address in the third Block on the left of the page to get notice of any details of posts, notices etc..
In the last two years we have had record breaking attendances at some of our major functions:
i. Australia Day / Waitangi Day Spit Braai.
ii. ANZAC Day Memorial Service hosted by Natal Mounted Rifles headquaeters.
iii. Traditional Maori Hangi hosted by the College Rovers Club site at Kings Park.
iv. Potjie competition hosted by the Beachwood Mangroves Nature Reserve KwaZulu-Natal.
v. A German Food Festival also hosted by the Beachwood Mangrove Swamp site.
The Association donates significant funds to selected deserving charities each year.
All events are open to the public and cater for families.

Facebook issues
Information supplied by Kaspersky Total Security (22 May 2019)
In this post we have compiled Facebook’s 10 most prominent
fails involving data misuse.
1. Cambridge Analytica: How it all began
It all started with the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Back in early 2018 we all learned for the first time with 100% certainty that the data and opinions we share across Facebook can be used by a third party without our consent. Cambridge Analytica’s harvesting of the data of 50 million Facebook users and its use of that data for political advertising shook the world, but it was only the beginning. To review those events, you can read this post.

2. Facebook tokens stolen
Half a year later, another scandal caught up with Facebook: Hijackers were able to exploit several vulnerabilities in Facebook and steal the access tokens (which are basically an equivalent of digital keys that keep people logged in) of millions of Facebook users.
Half a year later, another scandal caught up with Facebook: Hijackers were able to exploit several vulnerabilities in Facebook and steal the access tokens (which are basically an equivalent of digital keys that keep people logged in) of millions of Facebook users.
In total,
30 million users had their tokens stolen. For 15 million, malefactors
accessed their names and contact details. In 14 million cases, the attackers
were able to see more detailed info and the users’ Facebook activities.
For the remaining 1 million, the hijackers did not access any information.
That was when Facebook users learned that Facebook is not impregnable and that
their accounts could be stolen en masse without them doing anything wrong.
3. Facebook and Instagram passwords exposed
If 30 million wasn’t enough, another incident came along involving hundreds of millions of Facebook and Instagram users. In early 2019, Facebook made us aware that its internal processes related to user data security are far from perfect. The company admitted it was storing part of the passwords for Facebook and Instagram accounts in plain text. They insisted these passwords were visible to employees only and that no one abused their access permissions.

The company admitted it was storing part of the passwords for Facebook and Instagram accounts in plain text. They insisted these passwords were visible to employees only and that no one abused their access permissions.
At this
point, the exact number of affected users has not been disclosed. First, the
company commented that the problem involved hundreds of millions of Facebook
Lite users, tens of millions of regular Facebook users, and tens of thousands
of Instagram users. One month later, it amended its comment to say the issue
(now patched) affected not tens of thousands, but millions of Instagram users.
4. Instagram passwords exposed again
Actually, that was not the first time Instagram users learned they could’ve had their passwords leaked. Several months earlier, Instagram’s “Download Your Data” feature was discovered to contain a security flaw (now patched) that could have inadvertently exposed some Instagram passwords. If someone submitted their login information to use the feature, their password was included in a URL in their Web browsers and — again — stored on Facebook’s servers in plain text.

5. Facebook requested e-mail passwords and scraped
contacts
Facebook scraped the e-mail contacts of 1.5 million users without their consent. Wait, it’s actually a bit more complicated than that. Here’s the story: Facebook was asking a subset of newcomers to verify their identities by providing passwords to their e-mail accounts. When the news broke, many thought it was an April Fool’s joke; no savvy Internet surfer could even imagine granting a third party access to their e-mail communications. Unfortunately, it was not a joke. And many fell for it.

Unfortunately, it was not a joke. And many fell for it.
Facebook insisted it didn’t access
the contents of the users’ e-mails, just — unintentionally — scooped up their
e-mai contacts. In total, the address books of 1.5 million users have been
harvested. But given that people’s contact lists may have hundreds of contacts,
the final number of those whose contact details were obtained this way may well
be in the tens of millions. The company says it used the data to improve ad
targeting, build Facebook’s web of social connections, and recommend new
friends to users.
6. 2FA with Facebook, a tool for advertisers
Of course, we all want to keep our accounts safe, and two-factor authentication seems like an ideal way to do that. But even here, potential issues arise. For example, the phone number you provide when enabling two-factor authentication for your Facebook account will be automatically associated with your profile — without an opt-out option. As a result, anyone, regardless of whether they even have an account, can look up your user profile based on this phone number. Bonus: Facebook might also target the number with ads.

7. Your contacts are never safe from advertisers
As we mentioned tangentially above, Facebook and Instagram were giving advertisers access to contact information that users hadn’t even stored on Facebook! In other words, advertisers were (and, probably, still are) targeting us relying not only on the e-mail addresses and phone numbers we indicate on our “contact and basic info” page, but also on other data.

In other words, advertisers were (and, probably, still are) targeting us relying not only on the e-mail addresses and phone numbers we indicate on our “contact and basic info” page, but also on other data.
This data
can include the phone number (if any) you put in for 2FA purposes and the junk
e-mail addresses you hand over for discounts or for furtive online shopping.
Also, if any of your contacts chooses to share (“synchronize”) their
contacts with Facebook or uploads their address book to Facebook — to “find
friends” — and their contact list includes a phone number of yours, even if you
never entered that information anywhere on Facebook, advertisers will be able
to target you with an ad using that phone number.
8. More Facebook data shared with advertisers
Facebook was tapping users’ data as leverage over companies it partnered with, leaked internal documents showed. For example, Amazon.com, which was spending significant sums on Facebook advertising, could obtain users’ names and e-mail addresses through their friends (as could Sony, Microsoft and many others).

For example, Amazon.com, which was spending significant sums on Facebook advertising, could obtain users’ names and e-mail addresses through their friends (as could Sony, Microsoft and many others).
Microsoft’s
Bing search engine was allowed to see the names of virtually all of our
Facebook friends without our (or their) consent. Netflix, Spotify, and the
Royal Bank of Canada were given privileges to read, write, and delete our
private messages, and to see all of the participants on a thread. Apple devices
had access to the contact numbers and calendar entries even of people who had
changed their account settings to disable all sharing.
The
companies involved stated they never misused the data they accessed, and some
said they didn’t even know they had such “extended” rights.
9. Facebook Marketplace leaked sellers’ exact
locations
A flaw (now patched) in Facebook’s digital marketplace was exposing sellers’ exact locations (precise latitude and longitude coordinates), and by extension, their goods. To see the location, it wasn’t even necessary to log in to Facebook, leading some researchers to call the service “a shopping list for thieves.” That was especially worrying for those who were selling expensive bicycles, because those are a tasty morsel for criminals, and Marketplace was basically giving those bikes away to them by exposing the sellers’ location.

10. Facebook data exposed — by a third party
Two databases containing Facebook users’ information were found on the open Web, storing the data in plain text, allowing absolutely anyone to access and download it. One set of data came from a Facebook game application called “At the Pool,” which fell into disuse a long time ago. The second one, containing more than 540 million records, belonged to Cultura Colectiva, a Mexican media company operating throughout Latin America. Both exposed databases included the names and e-mail addresses of users, their friends’ lists, likes, comments, and all kinds of details that serve as means to analyze preferences and interests.

Although
the information was not particularly sensitive, and Facebook’s own staff had
nothing to do with the exposure, it still raised (again) questions of how
Facebook is sharing users’ data with third parties, and echoed the Cambridge
Analytica scandal that kicked off this post.

PLEASE
NOTE!
In recent years there has been some confusion as to when those wishing to taste the various competing teams can allow their potjies to be sampled.
The adopted policy for this year is that when a potjie has been judged and that team has put aside their individual portions it will be ready for sampling.
