Persoonlikheid en Kunstenaar
Marcia Keen
is a Mpumalanga native who proudly calls Witbank home, but maintains that though this home is the heartland of mining in South Africa, her knowledge on the inner workings of mechanical equipment beyond het trusty microphone and mixer is dodgy at best.
The stage in all its' forms is an integral part of her life, and her parents, friends and family from a solid support base whom har always encouraged her to pursue her dreams of a career in the entertainment industry.
Marcia has released two albums "the Oldies, The Classics", a collection of old time jazz and blues songs with some foot tapping hits from the musicals to liven things up and "Moene Weggaan Nie" a soulful collection of Afrikaans ballads with the odd light rock and roll flare.
Marcia has been involved with Mrs Mpumalanga in the role of MC for the past several years and views the event as one of the highlights in her calendar.
She was more recently also a finalist in Begin Sing Season 2. Marcia was also in the short=film Kamp Sondersein which are on Via in which she portrayed the rol of Mara
When not on-stage Marcia can be found either pursuing other art-forms such as painting and embroidery or hard at work at he family business, dealing with the administration duties that goes along with occupational medical screening in various industries.

Met 'n Boom-graad achter haar naam, sou Lizelle von Wielligh nooit ko droom om die pen op te tel en te begin skryf nie, maar toe bring die Here 'n onverwagse draai op haar. pad wat haar meer vervul laat as wat sy ooit kon droom. Deesdae vind sy dit baie meer stimulerend om haar gedachtes creatief aan te wind, ieder as om syfers op die rekenaar te laat klop. Haar gezin kom altijd eerste in haar lede. Sy is voltyds betrokken by haar kinders en is byvoorreg om 'n "gelukkige einde" saam met haar man te leef. As sy nie skryf nie, moet haar Hande besig bly met 'n handwerkie.

Bome van die Jaar
Whitepear (Apodytes dimitiata) Karen (Sears lancea)
Apodytes dimidiata is the ideal tree for the home garden as it does not have messy fruits and is safe to plant near the house, not disturbing the foundations or paved areas.
Description:
This is a small bushy tree 4 to 5 m tall, but reaching a height of 20 m when growing in a forest. It has evergreen, glossy, bright green leaves that have a paler green, dull underside. The bark is pale grey and smooth.
Apodytes dimidiata forms small, white, fragrant blooms in loose bunches, that are borne in summer, and are frequently produced in striking profusion. The fruit is berry-like, black and flattened, with a persistent, finger like style in the notch and a scarlet, fleshy, lateral appendage that gives the fruit a kidney shape. Fruits are borne in mid to late summer.
Conservation Status:
According to the Red List of South African Plants, Apodytes dimidiatea subsp. dimidiata is assessed as Least Concern (LC).
Apodytes dimidiata is a protected tree in South Africa.
Distribution and habitat:
Apodytes dimidiata occurs in coastal evergreen bush, at the margins of medium altitude evergreen forest, in open woodlands and on grassy mountain slopes, often among rocks. It is a constituent of the forests such as Knysna, George, Tsitsikama, Alexandria, Amatola, Umgoye and Dukuduku.
It is in fact one of the best-known forest trees in southern Africa as it is found from Table Mountain in the Cape Peninsula, along the coast through Kwa-Zulu Natal, Gauteng, Swaziland and Kenya. A. dimidiata comprises 3-9% of the total tree population of the Knysna Forest. Here it grows with yellowwood (Podocarpus spp.), stinkwood (Ocotea bullata), and assegaai (Curtisia dentata).

Karen (Sears lancea)
The karee is a small- to medium-sized evergreen tree that usually grows to a height of 7 m and a width of 7 m but can be larger depending on environmental factors.
Description
The Searsia lancia is usually a single-stemmed, low branching tree which has a dense, soft, round canopy. The karee has a coarse-textured bark and on older specimens it is dark grey or brown in colour, while on young branches and trees it is a reddish-brown colour. The leaves are trifoliate (a compound leaf with three leaflets), possessing narrowly lanceolate (lance-shaped) leaflets. The leaves are dark green above and paler green below. They do not have any hairs, and the margins of the leaves are entire. The leaves are leathery and are often sickle-shaped.
The small, inconspicuous flowers are presented as much-branched sprays which are greenish-yellow in colour and are produced from June until September. The male and female flowers occur on separate trees. The fruit are small (up to 5mm in diameter), round, slightly flattened and covered with a thin fleshy layer which is glossy and yellowish to brown when ripe. The fruits are produced from September until January.
Distribution and habitat
The karee occurs naturally in Acacia woodland and along drainage lines, rivers and streams. It is often found growing on lime-rich substrates. The karee occurs from Zambia in the north to the Western Cape in the south. It is found throughout the Free State and in parts of all the other provinces of South Africa except for KwaZulu-Natal.
Derivation of name and historical aspects
Searsia was named after Paul B. Sears (1891-1990) who was head of the Yale School of Botany, and lancea refers to the lance shaped leaflets.
Most of the species grown in southern Africa, belonging to the genus Rhus, have been placed in Searsia. In southern Africa there are about 111 species of Searsia. Searsia lancea belongs to the family Anacardiaceae (the Mango family) which is the fourth largest tree family in southern Africa. This family is composed of at least 80 native tree species. Searsia is easy to recognise, as the leaves are all trifoliate and have a resinous smell when crushed. Common edible fruit and seeds that belong to this family include the mango, pistachio nut and cashew nut. The resinous substance is poisonous in many species such as poison ivy.
Uses
The fruit is eaten by birds such as bulbuls, guineafowl and francolins. Game animals such as kudu, roan antelope and sable browse the leaves of the tree which can serve as an important food source for them in times of drought. The sweetly scented flowers attract bees and other insects to them. Searsia lancea is useful in providing natural soil stabilisation and increasing infiltration of rainwater into the soil, thus reducing erosion and raising the ground watertable.
The leaves of the karee provide valuable fodder for livestock but can taint the flavour of milk if eaten in large quantities by dairy cattle as a result of the resin contained in them. The tree is also an important source of shade for livestock in certain regions. The bark, twigs and leaves provide tannin. In the past the hard wood was used for fence posts, tool handles and parts of wagons. Bowls, tobacco pipes and bows were also made from the wood. The fruits are edible and were once used as an important ingredient of mead or honey beer. The word karee is said to be the original Khoi word for mead.
Growing Searsia lancea
The karee is an excellent shade tree especially in hot regions such as the Karoo and Kalahari since it is evergreen and drought resistant. Searsia lancea does not have an aggressive root system and can be used near paving and tarred surfaces. Because the karee is hardy, frost resistant and evergreen, it is ideal for establishing a protective canopy for frost sensitive and shade loving plants. It could thus be considered as a possible pioneer plant for establishing a new forest in an area that receives frost. Searsia lancea is suitable for use as a large hedge along the boundaries of properties such as farms because of its dense growth habit. The density of the plant makes it suitable for use as a screen or barrier against wind, noise, objectionable views or to provide privacy. The karee can adapt well to different soils including those that are poorly drained (which means that it can be planted almost anywhere). Searsia lancea is therefore ideally suited for use as a street tree. Aesthetically the karee is a graceful tree possessing a willow-like appearance due to its drooping habit, and this makes it suitable for use near water e.g. next to a water garden, dam or river.
Searsia lancea can be propagated easily from seed, cuttings or layers. The ripe seed should be sown in seedling trays using a good seedling medium and transplanted into bigger containers when the seedlings reach the two-leaf stage. Cuttings can be taken using young growth from September till October. The tree can grow up to 80 cm a year and is thus fairly fast growing. Because the tree is both drought- and frost-resistant it does not require any special attention once it has established its root system.
