Rudi,
Without going into a long story about what's happened and why - herewith the shortened version:
Pierre had been pumping more than 40 gees a month of his own money into the magazine. He got let down very badly by many of the advertisers, who still owe him about R80000.00. This could not be sustained.
So, he has been scouring the countryside (inbetween any work he can find to carry himself) to find a company who will back him.
After many, many meetings and negotiations he has found that company and in the next week or so he will be preparing the next release.
There are going to be a few changes, like perhaps increasing the page count and content
The magazine may even change name. However Pierre has kept very good record of every subscription and NO ONE will loose out in any way!
So if you still had 3 copies of VEG due to you then you will recieve 3 copies of the new VEG/other magazine!
I wish I could explain a little further, as I must say that the amount of selfless dedication and struggle that Pierre has put into getting this magazine out at no profit to himself (a huge loss up until now) is beyond me - and not one of you out there can claim to do any better.
Don't take me as being too negative, all I'm saying is please be a little patient and you will be rewarded.
I know you have all paid good money for the mag, so you are more than entitled to question as to what's going on. Please beare with Pierre just for a little while, he has not forgotten about you and no one has run off with your money.
You will all be pleased with the new and better
publication!
You are more than welcome to call Pierre or his wife Ronel, should you want to get the picture more fully.
I hope this answers your questions! - And relax, it will all be much better soon!!!!
Cheers
Matthew
