Ladysmith Flood Relief Update 1

03 Jan 2011

• Ladysmith, Dannhauser and Newcastle were most affected. • The Chemsford Dam in Newcastle is 104 % full. • Since the start of its emergency response, AIF has been working closely with different government departments to determine common plans of action. AIF has worked with the departments of disaster management and social development. Various inspections and assessments with these different government departments were concluded. • Hot soup was distributed to those flood victims who have been forced to leave their homes • Food Hampers and blankets were also distributed to the affected families

Ladysmith is located on the banks of the Klip River (stone river), with the central business district and a large part of the residential areas located within the flood basin of the river. It is on on the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, about 26 km from the Van Reenen pass. The town has suffered severely from flooding of the Klip River since it was establshed some 110 years ago. Till the completion of the Qedusizi Dam in 1997, 29 serious floods have occurred. Minor flooding occurred almost every year. The worst flooding in 30 years occurred in 1996 leading to R500 million in damages and the evacuation of 400 families.Efforts to control the flooding date back to the 1940s. In 1949 the Windsor Dam was completed, but this dam silted up very fast and was not an effective means of flood control.

Some of the items listed under 'Select Investment Type' are impermissable as they are essentially interest bearing instuments.

Business

Use the current market price to determine the appropiate value for your inventory

It might be more practical to work out a value based on the wholesale price assuming all the stock were to be sold in one single transaction on a willing buyer/seller basis

Professional or service orientated businesses e.g. lawyers, doctors, plumbers etc. should not capture monies owing to them for services rendered. The ‘Debtors Section’ should be used for this.

Polices

For conventional (non-Sharia compliant policies) first establish the premiums paid to date and the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not) and pay on the lesser amount as only that portion that equals your contributions (i.e. premiums) is halal. In other words, reduce current value by the amount of interest accrued.

For Sharia compliant policies pay Zakaat on the current value of the policy (whether accessible or not).

Zakaat is payable on all monies owing to you if you have a reasonable expectation that such monies are secure (will be paid).

Partnership

This section is to be filled in by people in a partnership type arrangement. Do not use this section for shares on a stock exchange. If there is no balance sheet or if its not current then the net-worth of the company could be equated to the value all share holders are prepared to sell the company for in its entirety, i.e. including stock, fixtures, fittings, motor vehicles etc.

Debtors

Zakaat is payable on all monies owing to you if you have a reasonable expectation that such monies are secure.

Liabilities
