WELBEKENDE Strand-inwoner en eienaar van die ouditeursfirma, Sandra Carpenter en Kie, is Dinsdag as gevolg van ’n spinnekopbyt oorlede. Carpenter (53) is dood nadat ’n sakspinnekop haar twee weke gelede aan haar lies byt het. Haar vriendin, Anne Joubert, sê sy het op 1 Augustus agtergekom het dat Carpenter met moeite loop en haar daarna uitgevra. “Sy’t gesê dat sy ’n pitseer op haar bobeen gehad het en dat dit gevoelig was nadat sy dit uitgedruk het,” vertel Joubert. Volgens haar het sy medikasie vir Carpenter by die apteek gekry om die wond te ontsmet. Twee dae later was die wond egter groter en Carpenter, ’n diabeet, se suikervlakke het die hoogte in geskiet. Volgens haar suster Nila Nel, het Carpenter eers die Sondag dokter toe gegaan waar die wond ontsmet is en sy antibiotika voorgeskryf is. “Sy is ook aangesê om die wond met ’n pluisie skoon te maak en dit die volgende dag, in ’n houertjie, na die dokter neem vir toetse,” sê Nel. Die toetsuitslae is verlede Woensdag
ontvang en volgens Nel het die dokter gesê dat die toetse twee bakterieë opgetel het, maar dat dit geen rede tot kommer was nie omdat Carpenter reeds die regte medikasie gebruik het. Teen Vrydag kon Carpenter egter nie loop nie, en was daar blase regoor haar buik. Nel het ongeveer middernag die nooddienste ontbied wat Carpenter na die hospitaal geneem het waar sy in die waakeenheid opgeneem is. “Die dokter aan diens het Sondag (12 Augustus) vir ons gesê dat Sandra deur ’n sakspinnekop gebyt is,” vertel Nel. Volgens Nel het Carpenter later nie meer op enige behandeling gereageer nie. Sy is tussen 09:30 en 10:20 op Maandag (13 Augustus) oorlede. Volgens Nel en Joubert het die spinnekopgif haar organe aangetas wat haar longe later laat ingee het. Nel onthou haar suster as ’n mens wat altyd enigiets vir ander sou doen. “Sy het die sagste hart gehad en haar werk was haar lewe,” vertel sy. Carpenter word oorleef deur haar suster Nila Nel en broer André Bester. Sy word Vrydag 17 Augustus om 14:00 uit die NG-gemeente Lourensrivier in die Strand begrawe.

Wat jy moet weet oor die sakspinnekop
New life after operation p 6
Sakspinnekoppe is gewoonlik geelkleurig met ’n swart kop. Dit is ’n baie aggressiewe spinnekop en is verantwoordelik vir meeste spinnekopbyte in Suid-Afrika. Dié spinnekop is berug vir sy geniepsige byt. Die meeste mense word saans deur die spinnekop gebyt wanneer hulle onverwags daarmee in kontak kom. Sakspinnekoppe se gif bestaan uit sitotoksiese gif – die byt self is nie so pynlik nie en lyk soos ’n muskietbyt. Ná ’n paar dae, sal die bytmerk opswel
en pynlik wees, en later ’n groot letsel vorm. Geen teengif is beskikbaar nie en antibiotika moet deur ’n dokter voorgeskryf word om infeksie te voorkom. Die wond kan vier weke (soms tot ’n dekade) neem om te genees. Hospitalisasie is nie nodig nie, maar plastiese snykunde is soms nodig om die beskadigde weefsel te verwyder. http://www.parent24.com/Focus/ first_aid/more/Spiders-and-Spider-Bites20120216

Boewe teiken kantore JAMEY THOMAS
DRIE kantore in die Libri Besigheidsentrum in Somerset-Wes was die afgelope naweek deurgeloop onder inbrekers. Die Food Invest en KGA Life Limited-kantore, en ’n kantoor wat deur die eienaar van die gebou gebruik word om klere en skoene te stoor, is Vrydagnag deur boewe geteiken. Volgens Food Invest se bemarkingsbestuurder, Adriaan du Toit, het een van sy kollegas hom Saterdagoggend om 10:00 gebel en die nuus aan hom oorgedra. Du Toit sê hulle vermoede is dat die inbrekers deur ’n dakvenster toegang verkry het tot binne-in die kantoor waar die klere en skoene gestoor word. Om toegang tot die ander kantore te verkry, moes hulle van die deure oopbreek. “Hulle het ook in gevalle waar hulle nie die deure kon oop kry nie, ’n klere-reling gebruik om gate in die mure (dit is droë mure) te kap,” verduidelik Du Toit. Die inbrekers het twee rekenaars en hard-
eware, ’n skootrekenaar, ’n aantal USBstokkies en allerlei rekenaarbykomstighede gesteel. Van die klere en skoene is ook buitgemaak. Du Toit sê die inbrekers het hulle selfs aan die droëvrugte wat hul maatskappy uitvoer, gehelp en hul koeldranke in die kantoor-yskas gedrink. Die leë koeldrankblikkies en -botteltjies en droëvrugte het die hele kantoor vol gelê. “Hulle het een van die bokse as toilet gebruik, en die gemors net daar gelos.” Tydens DistriksPos se besoek aan die kantore, het almal van hul persoonlike rekenaars gebruik gemaak om hul besigheid te bedryf. Intussen is ’n sekuriteitswag deur die eienaar van die gebou aangestel en ’n alarmstelsel sal ook binnekort installeer word. Volgens Du Toit is jare se data oor hul maatskappy, asook persoonlike foto’s en dokumente wat op die rekenaars en USB-stokkies gestoor is, nou weg. Hulle sal byna enige iets doen om dit terug te kry.
Du Toit wys waar skade deur die boewe aangerig is. “Ek bied ’n beloning aan van R5 000 vir die persoon wat die rekenaars, USB-stokkies of die spesifieke data aan ons terug kan besorg,” sê Du Toit. Drie klagte van inbraak is by die Somerset-Wes-polisie aanhangig gemaak en word tans ondersoek. Mense met inligting kan vir speurder sersant Evan Jacobs by 0 021 850 1322 bel.

Wall-wrecker owns up THE person who crashed into Rudi Oosthuizen’s vibracrete wall and then left without a trace has come forward. Oosthuiszen approached DistrictMail last week in the hopes of finding someone had seen the crash, or who knew what hap-
pened to the wrecked portion of wall surrounding his property in Gerring Street, Somerset West. His neighbour had informed him that in the early hours of Saturday morning 28 July, while he and his family were away,
a Combi was seen towing a car from his yard while a “few young men” stood around. Oosthuizen says that, on Thursday 9 August at 10:00, the perpetrator – who Oosthuizen believes must have seen the notice in the newspaper – owned up. “I am very glad that the person came forward. I don’t mind if you crash into my wall – as long as you pay for it!”

HELDERBERG
Storm lays waste, fills dams NIKITA SYLVESTER
THE raging winds and pelting rains of last week wreaked havoc in the Helderberg, causing roofs and trees alike to take flight. The City of Cape Town reports that the homes of more than 500 people living in informal settlements throughout the Helderberg were severely damaged by the extreme winter weather. The City’s disaster risk management teams remain on high alert to assist the affected residents with essentials. The Sir Lowry’s Pass flood victims were moved to higher ground temporarily, but their happiness was short-lived when this spot too succumbed to the heavy rains. Despite the destruction that winter has so far brought, it appears that some good has come from the heavy rains – the dam levels continue to rise. Shehaam Sims, the City’s mayoral committee member for utility services, says that in the past week the Steenbras Lower Dam level has risen by 7,1% and now stands at a total of 100,3%. Last year the maximum was recorded at 64,6%. The Steenbras Upper Dam level, meanwhile, increased by 1,5% and now stands at a total of 101,8%, com-
pared to 97,4% last year. “Ideally, when one dam overflows all dams should begin overflowing, thereby maximising the storage of the system,” Sims says. “Very high demand loads are currently being placed on the Steenbras Upper and Lower Dams to minimise spillage after the good rainfalls, and to make space for transfer of excess water in the Palmiet River system.” Sims reminds residents that the City has an integrated bulk water supply system, which means that no areas are solely dependent on supply from the nearest dams. The integrated bulk supply system also has the advantage of being able to provide alternative supply routes to most areas within the city.
INDEX The powerful winds that ripped through the Helderberg over the past week destroyed the front of the LCD Liquor Store and Somerset West Fisheries businesses in Caledon Street, Somerset West, on Tuesday night.

NEWS SUMMARY SANDRA CARPENTER (53), Strand resident and owner of auditing firm Sandra Carpenter Auditors, died on Tuesday after she was bitten on the thigh by a spider two weeks ago. Anne Joubert, a friend of hers, says that on 1 August she noticed Carpenter was struggling to walk and asked her about it. Carpenter told Joubert she had a boil that had become sensitive after she’d squeezed it. Joubert says she then went to the pharmacy to purchase medication to disinfect Carpenter’s wound – but Carpenter’s sister, Nila Nel, says a doctor told her on Sunday (12 August) that Carpenter had been bitten by a sac spider. Nel and Joubert say the spider’s venom affected her organs, eventually causing her lungs to collapse. –Page 1 THREE offices in the Libri Business Centre in Somerset West fell victim to burglars this past weekend. On Friday the Food Invest and KGA Life Limited offices, as well as an office being used by the owner of the building to store clothes and shoes, were broken into. Food Invest’s marketing manager, Adriaan du Toit, says they suspect the burglars gained entry first through a skylight in the office used for storing the shoes and clothes. The thieves had to smash locks and break down doors to enter the other offices. –Page 2

Residents band together to stop prostitution A GROUP of Helderberg residents have united to stop what they believe is a male prostitution syndicate on Strand beach. They have started distributing pamphlets warning people in the area about what they believe is going on, and have written to Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille and Western Cape premier Helen Zille. The men are allegedly engaging in sexual acts in bushes close to the Son Surf School and the toilets in Beach Road. André Burrows, whose sons are members of the surf school in Beach Road, says he has seen men, mostly middle-aged, walk down the path next to the surf school and disappear into the thick bushes. “They’re normallooking men, neatly dressed and of all races.” Burrows says he investigated the spot, and indeed found used condoms strewn there. He says photographs of the men coming from the bushes, as well as photos of their cars, have been taken. He adds that he has noticed a bald, middle-aged man in the area whom he suspects is the coordinator of the syndicate. He reckons many of the unemployed men he has noticed in the area have been turning to prostitution to make money. Lucy Warner, meanwhile, says her 13-year-old son, also a member of the surf school, was approached by a man in the area in the recent school holidays. “A man called him, saying that another, older, man with him was a policeman and wanted to question him.” Fortunately the youngster was not fooled, but he has not gone surfing since then.
This pamphlet is being distributed in response to fears that a prostitution ring is operating at Strand beach. Warner says the suspicions of prostitution have been reported to the police, who she adds once raided the bushes – resulting in about five middle-aged men dispersing in all directions. The police, however, say they would have to catch the perpetrators in the act before they could lay any criminal charges. Warner recalls a recent incident when she and her sister took
their children to the each and a man masturbated in full view of them. The concerned residents believe the area should be patrolled by police, and feel that if more residents were to stand up against them the sex syndicate would move away. “The situation has spiralled out of control because they can get away with it.”

Honest man finds, returns stolen goods ILLANA FRANTZ
BEING a law-abiding citizen, Vivian Torlage (67) pulled over to the side of road when he received a phone call – but in return he fell victim to an opportunistic criminal. However, his faith in mankind was restored when he received a phone call from a stranger a few hours later. Torlage says he was driving on the N2 from Strand to Cape Town on 30 July. He had just passed the R300 turn-off at 10:00 when his cellphone rang. He pulled over to answer it. As he was finishing the call, a young man appeared at the passenger door, pulled it open and grabbed his bag – which was on the seat – before sprinting off. “I was negligent for stopping there and for not locking my doors,” he says. “I tried to run after him, but he was very young and he disappeared into the township.” The bag contained money, bank cards, his ID, his wife’s death certificate, and photos of her, and Torlage was devastated at the loss. He drove to Home Affairs in Somerset West to apply for a temporary ID. As he
was standing in line, his cellphone rang again. A stranger greeted him – and to his joy informed him that he had found all Torlage’s stolen belongings. The good Samaritan said he’d seen the items were greatly important, and he wanted to give them back. “At first I was very suspicious, thinking it was the robber who was laying a trap for me. I told him that he must meet me on the spot where the robbery took place, and that he must come alone.” Torlage drove back there and saw a man with a plastic packet in his hands. It was not the thief. “I called him to the car, kept the doors locked and the engine running. He gave me the bag, and inside were all my belongings. I was astonished, and could not believe he had done this.” Torlage explained to this good Samaritan that he was unable to give him a reward as his money had been stolen, but the man did not care about that. “I can only praise this man, known to me as Monwapise from Khayelitsha, for his exceptional honesty and kindness,” Torlage says. “I can give him a cash reward, but I would like the public to know what he did for me.”

Masikhule’s R50 000 vote of confidence ILLANA FRANTZ
SOMERSET West resident Léanne Keet has been announced the winner of R50 000 towards her brainchild, Masikhule – a nonprofit organisation providing a valuable service to women and children in poorer communities. The money was awarded by the Professional Providence Society – of which she is a graduate – in conjunction with the Personal Finance Professional Woman of the Year Award, for the role she as a woman plays in the community. The competition is a national event, and Léanne says she did not expect to win when she entered three weeks ago. When she received the good news last week, she was ecstatic. “It was a wonderful surprise, and I was quite shocked. But this has encouraged us to continue, and it has filled us with positive energy.” Léanne founded Masikhule in June 2005. The services this organisation provides in-

Residents act against prostitution Hats off to the group of beach users and businesses in Beach Road, Strand who have joined forces to stop what they believe is prostitution in their area. This bold group of pro-active citizens have taken it upon themselves to act against these alleged sexual acts. They did ask the police to intervene, but the police told them they could’t really do anything about the situation, unless they catch the offenders red-handed. So to deter these alleged prostitutes and their clients from engaging in sexual acts in open public places the residents are themselves taking the offenders on. They have a widespread network of people who are on the lookout for suspicious-looking people and as soon as they are spotted, they jump into action. The beauty about their operation is that they are not taking the law into their own hands, they are just stepping in to try to prevent a crime from happening. Far too often we just sit back and expect things to sort themselves out, instead of getting involved and trying and do something about it ourselves.
No one is immune to hardship! Sê jou sê THANK you, Ian Greer from the Helderberg Street People’s Centre and councillor Stuart Pringle, for the recent letters in DistrictMail. The issues of homelessness and people in need should be in constant conversation among those who have the privilege of food, accommodation and a livelihood. I am reminded daily of the wealth in our area. There are many people who stay in homes who battle to pay bills, struggle to feed their families and may have just lost their source of income, but there are often options, like selling the home, family support, etc. Being homeless without anything but a blanket if you are given one is the lowest position on the social scale. We tend to look upon those staying at the shelter or living on the streets as deserving of their position due to wrong choices and bad lifestyle. No one is immune to hardship, suffering, stupidity and abuse inflicted by others. When I connect with those in desperate need of assistance I realise there is very little separating me from them. The dividing factor is my possessions!
Ian is right in saying that the issue of homelessness is complex, and that there are various needs. The Night Shelter staff and committee are working to increase effectiveness of operations at the shelter. The shelter is mostly full, with a short waiting list, but the availability of a bed only takes a day or two as we are able to help more people exit the shelter than ever before. Some go back to family, some to specialised places of care, and most become self-reliant. What the shelter and the Helderberg Street People’s Centre need more than ever before is assistance from the public. We need you to donate clothing, food and money – please don’t give money to the man at the traffic light by the Lord Charles, the woman harassing you outside the post office, etc. The shelter and the Street People’s Centre are better equipped, staffed and stocked to help. What we struggle with is cash flow, so instead of individually distributing an accumulatively large amount of finance among those petitioning for support, our humble request is that
you redirect your finance to the organisations at the heart of the matter, dealing with the issues daily. And if you feel we are not assisting the individual you have connected with, then please, we challenge you to get involved. Phone us and let us know; we will go and do what is needed. Our shelter’s short-term goal is to get to the point of being run at the highest level of effectiveness, and to be known as the best shelter in the Western Cape. Thereafter we want to establish or assist in establishing at least two other shelters in the Helderberg, one for women and children and one for those under the influence alcohol and drugs. It doesn’t stop there – old age homes and places of care for mentally challenged and ill adults only having a government grant amount available and not being able to be placed in institutions are also challenges, so this list of what we need in the Helderberg is a continuing one.

A big thank-you to Sencit and staff I WAS involved in the life of a family who lost everything. One of the family members is a frail, sick lady. As their situation became unbearable, we tried to find alternative residence for the old lady. After weeks of phoning various old age homes and welfare organisations, it seemed there was no hope. D-day came, and prayers were answered – an angel from Sencit old age home opened their doors and offered this lady a bed, comfort, warmth, food and care. But with their rooms only able to accommodate so many people, and needing to keep their only two frail-care beds open for the aged living there falling ill, they could only offer her accommodation for two weeks.
With her two weeks past, where to now? Sencit is being kind enough to keep her on for now, until other accommodation becomes available. We are hoping and praying that, by the grace of God, they will be able to offer her a permanent room as the frail lady is so happy, loves the staff and is so content and that she does not have to be uprooted again. If anyone doesn’t believe in miracles, well, this frail lady has been bedridden 24/7 for the last six years, with oxygen needed to assist her breathing, and hardly moveable – but as you read this, the staff at Sincet have given her all the TLC she needed, and she is now sitting in a wheelchair without oxygen and doing very well! Sencit deserves all the commit-
ment from our community in whichever form it may be, especially financially, so that they can carry on doing such amazing work and be able to accommodate the next old person who may fall prey to such a situation without anyone to turn to. If you are able to assist, please don’t hesitate to give Sincet old age home a call (021 845 8502) and offer your assistance to them in whichever way you can. A special thank-you to all who helped this family over the last threemonths–Sincetoldagehome, the Nappy Shop, Howard, the Bay Family Church, the Methodist Church, EMO Ambulance Service Strand and ACVV Strand, Sonja.

Tercia droom groot TERCIA Jacobs van Gordonsbaai is gekies om teen twaalf ander deelnemers mee te ding om in ’n nuwe werklikheidsreeks, ’n pos by Huisgenoot los te slaan. Saktyd is ’n reeks waar 13 deelnemers meeding vir ’n werk by Huisgenoot. Daar is verskillende take wat die deelnemers se vaardighede toets, maar daar kan net een wenner wees. Tercia (27) is oorspronklik van De Aar, maar het in 2002 op soek na beter geleenthede, na Kaapstad verhuis. Sy het haarself in Gordonsbaai kom vestig en in 2005 aan Strand Sekondêr gematrikuleer. Voordat sy vir die kompetisie ingeskryf het, het sy as huishulp en au pair gewerk en naweke het sy ook by die Eersterivier-hospitaal uitgehelp. Tercia beskryf haarself as iemand met groot drome en sy het besef dat sy haar klein geboortedorpie moet agterlaat as sy dié drome wil bereik. “Daar was baie min werksgeleenthede en ek het besluit dat ek na Kaapstad moet verhuis, ter wille van my drome. Ek glo om iets in die lewe te bereik, moet jy ’n sterk wil hê en die lewe positief aanpak.”
Tercia is vriendelik en amusant, maar het tog stil en skaam eienskappe. Haar belangstellings sluit onder meer in dans en modelwerk. Mode en televisie is haar passie. Sy sê haar ongelukkigheid in haar huidige posisie het haar gemotiveer om aan die kompetisie deel te neem. “Ek wou ’n kans vat, want wie nie waag nie, wen nie. Ek wil ook uit my gemaksone kom want ek weet ek is tot meer in staat as waar ek myself tans bevind.” Haar verwagtinge is groot vir Saktyd en sy glo sy kan wen. “Niks is onmoontlik nie en uit die kompetisie kan net positiewe dinge kom. Ek is ’n bietjie senuweeagtig, maar ek dink dit is natuurlik. Dit is ’n kans van ’n leeftyd wat nie sommer weer verby gaan kom nie.” Op skool het sy uitgeblink in netbal en sokker en sy het ook in die skoolkoor gesing en was betrokke by die dramaklub. Tercia is gaande oor joernaalprogramme soos Kwêla en Pasella wat as haar inspirasie vir die kompetisie dien.
Is die Genesis-verhale net stories? Dr. Willie Mc Loud hou Don-
Tercia Jacobs. Sy meen eienskappe wat ’n goeie joernalis moet hê is om op hoogte te bly van die jongste nuusgebeure, goeie menseverhoudinge en jy moet ook nuuskierig wees om stories te kan uitsnuffel. Tercia is reg vir bekendheid en glo dit gaan nie die mens wat sy is of haar persoonlikheid verander nie. Kyk Dinsdae om 19:30 op kykNET hoe Tercia in die kompetisie vorder.

derdag 16 Augustus die bekendstelling van sy boek, Op soek na Abraham en sy God. Die boek is ’n studie oor die historisiteit van die Genesis-verhale. Op soek na Abraham en sy God is ’n tydige boek oor ’n uiters relevante onderwerp. Dit lewer ’n belangrike bydrae tot die kontemporêre gesprek oor die betroubaarheid van die Bybelse verhale. Daar is vandag al meer mense wat wonder of ons nog die Genesis-verhale kan glo? Of Abraham regtig gelewe het? Of ons die verhale oor die Toring van Babel, die taleverwarring, die vloed en die tuin van Eden nog ernstig kan opneem? Vir sommige is die tradisionele antwoorde net nie meer aanvaarbaar nie. Sekere dinge word net nie meer geglo nie. Maar beteken dit dat die Genesis-verhale maar net stories is? Beteken dit dat ons daardie verhale maar as onbetroubaar kan afskryf? Die inhoud is aktueel, stimulerend en bied beslis stof tot nadenke. Die bekendstelling begin om 19:00 in die Strand-biblioteeksaal. Bel Willie by 072 611 9431. ) Een gelukkige leser kan ’n kopie van die boek wen. SMS die titel met jou naam en van na 34421 voor 12:00 op Maandag 20 Augustus. Elke SMS kos R1,50.

How to stay calm at work IF you end each work day with a sore neck, it could be that you need a holiday. It could also be that you simply need to apply these relaxation techniques. Naturally, there are times that you’ll be stressed at work – like if you’re an air traffic controller and there’s a power failure. But most people should adapt to what their job throws at them on a daily basis. Here are a few ideas on helping make that happen. Stop multitasking. Focus on completing one task at a time. Turn off all the browsers and screens except the ones you need. Draw up a to-do list. Exert yourself. Go to gym, go for a run or sprint up 12 flights of stairs. It’ll get the oxygenated blood fizzing around in your bloodstream and you’ll feel like a human being again. Get some sun. A few minutes of sunshine can make the whole PowerPoint presentation you just deleted seem less important. Substitute that extra cup of coffee at 11:30 for a few minutes of sunlight and you’ll have a more productive afternoon. Play some music. Whether it’s the ethereal harp sounds of Andreas Vollenweider or bone-crunching Red Hot Chilli Peppers, music can alter your mood. Try a CD with the sounds of nature mixed over easy-listening classical music. Baroque-era music and ballet can work well too. If your colleagues complain, use headphones.

Ashley Rhodes, ’n student aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad, rig die musikante af en tree ook as choreograaf op.Kaartjies is R30 vir leerlinge en R50 vir volwassenes.

SOMETHING FOR THE CUPBOARD
16 • 17 August 2012
Affordable country living in SW PAM Golding Properties has acquired the mandate to market Somerset Country Estate – a gated village located within the greater Heritage Park development in Somerset West. There are 44 opportunities to purchase in the current phase, with prices ranging from R1,21 million to R1,55 million, on a plot-and-plan basis. PGP says the estate is an ideal home for those just starting out in the property market, or scaling down from larger homes. Heritage Park occupies 200 ha of land in the foothills of the Helderberg Mountain range, between the N2 highway and Old Sir Lowry’s Pass Road. The site was once a farm known as “Die Bos”, which was granted to the Morkel family in 1718. It has remained in the family’s hands ever since, and five generations later Morkel descendants still occupy the farm’s old Cape Dutch homestead. PGP’s area manager for Somerset West, Linda Killick, says it was their vision, brought to life by Asrin Property Developers, that laid the seeds for the development of Heritage Park in 2005. “The aim was to create a secure community with its own homes, schools, shops, parks and places of worships,” she says, “where neighbours could live in harmony and safety, enjoying a rural lifestyle on the fringes of the city. That vision is a long way towards realisation, as Heritage Park is now more than 50% developed, and includes several residential communities, an office park, church, parks and a private school. “The existing woodlands and mountain streams were retained
STELLENBOSCH
A completed home in Somerset Country Estate. The gated village is located within the greater Heritage Park development in Somerset West, on the foothills of the Helderberg Mountain range. during the development process, and as a result the estate resonates with the song of abundant birdlife. A two-kilometre network of walking and jogging trails allows residents to exercise in safety while drinking in the magnificent views, which extend from mountain to ocean.” Somerset Country Estate will ultimately comprise 206 homes, each within its own private perimeter. This means residents will get to enjoy the peace of mind of three layers of security – their own private boundary walls, the state’s electrified perimeter fence, and the protected perimeter encircling the entire Heritage Park area. There are only two access points into Somerset Country Estate, one reserved for residents and the other for both residents and visitors.
Erven range in size from 400 m² to 672 m², with most homes offering at least 150 m² of living space. The architect-designed homes are surrounded by a landscaped green belt, and are intended to offer an easy, low-maintenance, lock-up-and-go lifestyle. About 50 homes have already been built, with others under construction or soon to begin. Buyers can choose from one of 10 design options, offering either three- or four-bedroom homes, all with two bathrooms and double garages with direct access. The overriding design theme is a modern Tuscan aesthetic, with charcoal roof tiles and neutral, earth-tone wall colours. The use of cladding and natural stone is encouraged, and homes all have full-length sliding doors leading onto their pa-
tios and terraces. Finishes include ceramic floor tiles in all living areas, and granite kitchen counters. A review committee approves all plans to ensure a cohesive character for the estate, and to preserve the harmony of the built environment with its natural surroundings. Buyers can interpret the design guidelines to suit their own personal needs and taste, and have two years from date of transfer to complete the construction of their homes. Levies are currently set at around R800 per month. PGP’s MD for the Boland and Overberg regions, Annien Borg, says the pricing is extremely competitive for Somerset West, especially given the high levels of security on offer, and the convenient central location. “The estate has
R9 200 000
easy access to the N2 highway for those who work in other areas or need to commute into Cape Town,” she says. “Stellenbosch University is just 15 minutes away, while Cape Town International Airport can be reached within under half an hour. The magnificent beaches of Gordon’s Bay and Strand are also close by, as well as the Mediclinic Vergelegen, a number of leading golf courses, and the Somerset Mall with its extensive shopping and recreational facilities.” To view Somerset Country Estate, or for more information, contact PGP agent Anneri Voges on 082 654 0333 or 021 851 2633.

Get a piece of history at the Goedeverwachting Farm homestead auction THE in-house Michael James Organisation auction of movables from the immaculate and historic Goedeverwachting Farm homestead will take place on Tuesday 21 August. The auction starts at 10:00 in the organisation’s auction centre at 63 Victoria Road in Somerset West. Goedeverwachting Farm was first established in 1795 as an inn for travellers headed over Sir Lowry’s Pass into the hinterland. Then known as Brink’s Inn, it provided fresh oxen teams to haul wagons over the daunting Sir Lowry’s Pass. A number of
years later, it became known as Goedeverwachting Farm and gained a prominent place in South African history after the Battle of Blaauwberg between British and Batavian forces. The invading British forces, commanded by General Beresford, pursued General Jannsens – then governor of the Batavian Cape Colony – and his army to Sir Lowry’s Pass, eventually forcing his capitulation. After some parleying, the Batavian forces’ articles of capitulation were signed by Jannsens and accepted by Beresford at Goedverwachting farm. This capitulation
led to the surrender of the Cape to the British on 18 January 1806 at Treaty Tree in Woodstock. Over the years, various owners have maintained Goedeverwachting homestead in immaculate condition and furnished it to a high standard. For any collector or investor wishing to own a piece of furniture from this historic homestead, or simply wishing to enjoy the luxury of some of the furniture, the Michael James Organisation auction is where they need to be. Also on offer at this feature auction are
the contents of a De Zalze home, modern furniture from an upmarket Hermanus home, and the entire contents of a Harbour Island apartment and various other estates. An Ursus 4512 tractor, PTO weed-cutter, cropsprayer and large farm trailer are also up for grabs. The items may be viewed between 08:00 and 16:00 on weekdays from Wednesday 15 August. For more information, or to get a catalogue, give Erik a call on 0 021 851 7007. Alternatively, you can send him an email at 2 erik@michaeljames.co.za.

Real estate and you SO just what does it take to be a successful estate agent? The real estate industry is really competitive, but really over-traded. The volume of sales isn’t sufficient to support the number of agents. That’s why the number of licensed agents in South Africa dropped from over 80 000 in 2005 to about 30 000 today. That doesn’t mean real estate isn’t for you. There are many successful estate agents today. So what does it take to be in the 10% who make it? It’s a combination of factors, of which the following are the most critical. ) Personality: You need to love helping people. What sets the best apart is their genuine interest in helping people. You need to be able to listen to customers’ needs, and identify which product or service they need. Then commit totally to delivering it. ) Skills: Good oral and written communication skills are important. Computer skills are needed to use technology well. Local area knowledge is a bonus. What you lack in skills can be taught, provided you have access to training – and the right attitude. ) Attitude: This, with your personality, will determine your success. Determination, disciplineandtheabilitytoworkexceptionally hard are critical. Nothing will just happen; you have to make it happen. Can you focus on goals? Can you discipline yourself? Are you hungry enough to find business? Are you courageous? And are you prepared to work with a team, or you are all about yourself? The best real estate agents fit the description above. But in addition to these qualities, the best need access to resources that will enable them to be the best they can be. Without the correct resources you just won’t be able to compete. The best agents
need the best technology. It’s technology that let’s you do more in less time, stay in contact with customers, deliver real-time reports and marketing Talking Property by instantly to mulSteve Caradoc-Davies tiple customer bases, and deliver Principal, Harcourts Platinum Director, Harcourts South efficient service. Africa. Without the Contact him on blog best training you harcourtsplatiwon’t be able to num.wordpress.com or steve.cd@ provide your cusharcourts.co.za tomers with the best marketing and selling methods, or advice on legislation and taxation. One of the most critical resources is marketing. An agent can have amazing skills, the ideal personality, and a great attitude – but if they don’t have the ability or resources to market, they won’t succeed. Marketing is key. And I’m not just referring to a logo . It’s the ability of a company to market, electronically and through print, where buyers shop. If you meet these criteria, a career as an estate agent could be for you. Team up with a company that offers the best training, technology, marketing and coaching, and you will be successful.

Wat een huis ’n aantrekliker opsie as die volgende maak HUISKOPERS kan deesdae kies en keur tussen eiendom wat te koop aangebied word. Dit is daarom nie ongewoon dat hulle dit moeilik vind om te besluit watter een van twee of meer regtig spesiale huise hulle moet koop nie. Dit kan veral ’n moeilike besluit vir eerste huiskopers wees, sê Berry Everitt, besturende direkteur van die Chas Everitt International-eiendomsgroep. “Maar daar is één beproefde resep om dié onsekerheid te oorbrug, en dit is om basiese beginsels in aanmerking te neem. “Begin deur al die vereistes wat jou in die eerste plek laat besluit het om ’n (ander) eiendom te koop neer te skryf. Dit gaan hier nie net oor prys nie, maar ook oor die aantal slaapkamers, badkamers en onthaalareas wat nie onderhandelbaar is nie sowel as enige nie-noodsaaklike kenmerke wat nogtans aangenaam sal wees, soos ’n dubbel-motorhuis, ’n be-
troubare sekuriteitstelsel, ’n swembad, en ’n lapa of onthaalarea in die tuin. “Vergelyk dan al die huise waarvan jy hou met jou lys om vas te stel hoe goed dit aan die noodsaaklike behoeftes voldoen en watter eiendomme met die opsionele ekstras op jou lys ooreenstem.” Die volgende stap, sê hy, is om huise te vergelyk ten opsigte van die afstand na skole, winkels, en ontspannings- en mediese geriewe; roetes na werkplekke; munisipale belasting, plaaslike soneringsregulasies; en die toestand van omliggende eiendom, paaie, parke en selfs straatbeligting. “Met al dié inligting gaan een huis waarskynlik bo die ander uitstaan.” Sou jy egter steeds sukkel om ’n keuse uit te oefen, is dit raadsaam om die verkoopsagent of -agente uit te vra oor elke huis se vooruitsigte vir waardevermeerdering en dan die een te kies wat die beste opbrengs gaan lewer.

How to get the best out of a home inspection THERE’S no argument that paying to have a home inspected by a professional before you buy it is money well spent if the property turns out to be problematic. However, says Berry Everitt, MD of the Chas Everitt International property group,
it can be money well spent even if the findings are positive. “For a start, the inspector’s report should give you a good picture of exactly what has happened to the property since it was first built. You will know, for example, if there were any major problems
with the original construction that had to be attended to – even if these are no longer an issue,” he writes in the Property Signposts newsletter. “You will also know whether there have been any additions or alterations over the years, where they are and whether
they were well built. And you should also have a much better idea of the quality of the materials and parts that went into the home – bricks, doors, windows, geysers, wiring and plumbing, for example – and how long they are likely to last.” Having a home inspected should give immediate insight into its history and probable future. “This is very valuable, because while you can easily see when a kitchen has been remodelled, for example, and will probably not need attention for years, it can take a while to get to know the unseen aspects and maintenance requirements of a new home. You may not realise that the roof, in such good condition now, will need waterproofing every two years, or that you need to budget to have machinery such as borehole and pool pumps regularly serviced. Most people deal with such aspects of home ownership on an ad hoc basis, which can play havoc with their finances. “With a detailed home inspection report in hand, however, you should be able to plan a proper preventative maintenance and replacement schedule for your home, and have the peace of mind that comes with being able to budget for these costs – and protect your investment in the process.” Home inspections generally cost around R3 500 to R5 000, and should be done by a company registered with the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.

Beachfront building to be reborn DIY financial planning STRAND residents may be wondering what is happening on the site of former landmark Rialto Cinema, which has been in limbo for two years. Scaffolding recently appeared on the 85% complete building, which has been bought by Clusten19, represented by local businessmen Andre du Plessis and Arjan Ockhuisen. “We’re passionate about the Strand, and will upgrade and complete this building by November this year,” says Du Plessis. “We have given it the new name of 97 on Strand to reflect its rebirth as a hallmark of luxury, location and vibe. We are working together with major local players to deliver a luxurious apartment building that will do its superb setting – one of the oldest beachfront sites of central older Strand – proud.” 97 on Strand will include 31 apartments on nine floors, with a large commercial space on the ground floor to be occupied by one or more convenience stores. Uniquely for Strand, all the units will include a lockable garage. The entrance is also being revamped. “It is extremely rewarding to work with the new owners and realise the full potential of the building and position,” says Abrie Jordaan of Somerset West–based Jordaan Architects. “We are recreating 97 on Strand, bringing together an appreciation for the older Strand while providing its residents a modernday lifestyle, fully appreciating the all-round beauty of this very special environment.” Ockhuisen says 97 on Strand will be launched to the public and potential buyers in September, when there will be completed units to view. “Strand Municipality supports the completion of this landmark building and the positioning of a new anchor retail tenant in the Strand CBD, since this contributes to the much-needed renewal of the Strand CBD,” says Ockhuisen. Contact Andre du Plessis on 082 255 9555 or Arjan Ockhuisen on 076 043 4640. Send an email to info@97onstrand.com or visit www.97onstrand.com.

IN the United States, 20% of all investment business is placed directly with investment companies, bypassing financial advisors. This trend is likely to gain momentum in South Africa as the consumer becomes more “aware”. That said, it is a brave person who searches the web for DIY financial solutions, considering the tens of thousands of sites offering “free advice”. The financial services industry might have itself to blame through years of self-serving advice. Even today, with strict legislation governing financial advice, some “advisors” still put their personal financial interests before those of their clients. I had a client who came see me regarding his imminent retirement. The client had begun his own “research” and knew just enough to be dangerous. He was aware of the importance of costs and was very concerned about not losing money. He had completed a risk questionnaire, which indicated that he was a conservative investor and should therefore invest in cash and bonds. This tick-box, DIY approach to financial planning might save on advice fees, but will ultimately cost the client much

more. The first step in retirement planning is to determine if you have adequate capital to support your income requirement. The next step is to construct a portfolio capable of delivering on the income and growth objective. For this particular client a conservative investment would not be capable of providing the income he required, and he would in all likelihood have run out of money. My advice is to seek professional advice when retiring, but be careful whose advice you are willing to pay for. Uncompromising advice requires independence and accountability – and then only is it worth paying for.

ANGLING COLUMN
Snoek spread from Hout Bay to Hermanus AFTER the rough seas this past weekend, a number of smaller fishing boats encountered good catches of snoek just outside Hout Bay on Monday. The fact is that every few years snoek are caught during these midwinter months between Cape Point and Hermanus. Several years ago, when Walvis Bay in Namibia had large shoals of pilchard and other bait fish, there were thousands of tonnes of snoek caught by boats in that area. As those in the know have advocated, these massive shoals of pilchards have stayed on the West Coast, stretching from Saldanha to Cape Point. This season the bait fish and snoek are widespread, from Hout Bay, around Cape Point and all the way past Hermanus. The snoek have proven to be plentiful – and more good news is that it appears the Department of Fisheries has eased off on its strict policing, and is allowing the embattled subsistence fishermen a little more leeway to make a better living. It has also been alleged that Marine and Coastal Management has found that the Navy cannot manage the policing of boat fishing, and discussions are under way to allow
a private company in to clear up the mess. The South League Western Province Inshore Competition, which was due to be held during the past weekend, was called off due to the unsuitable weather and sea conditions. An interesting piece of trivia is that Carla Rautman (5) has been fishing as a novice with her father Gus for the last 10 months. While fishing from her father’s boat Seekat during a recent WP inshore competition, Carla boated five snoek. Gus, who skippers his own boat, is one of the WP’s skilled boat anglers. Snoek fishing can be very tricky, as snoek
have very sharp teeth and snap at anything nearby. If the person holding the fish does not sling it under his arm and quickly snap the neck, serious injuries can occur. One hand holds the top of the fish and the other carefully grips the snoek under the jaw and breaks its neck. Newcomers on the boat desperately try to grip a snoek between their legs or quickly haul the snoek over the side and throw it directly into the fishing box. By the time the fisherman has removed the dolly or hook from the flapping fish, he has either been bitten or lands up with the hook in his finger and a “pap” snoek due to incorrect handling and clubbing. Meanwhile, the experienced crew have several snoek with broken necks in their boxes in front of them. When a finger has been bitten by a snoek and the wound doesn’t stop bleeding, a fastfix cure aboard the boat is to slice open the eye of the snoek and then smear the fluid from the eye on the wound. This sometimes stops the bleeding. These snoek bites take weeks to heal, and in the old days after a snoek “dik”, fishermen were often seen minus a finger. The average snoek is between three and six kilograms, and smaller snoek are called “China snoek”. Snoek of up to eight kilograms have been weighed at competitions. The biggest snoek weighed in a club competition was 13 kg, and was caught by Mr D Shannon in a club competition off Hangklip on 17 May 1959. This past weekend shore anglers had little to report except for one or two galjoen and other bank fish. Johan Uys of the Strand had one dassie and one galjoen from Platbank alongside the Strand tidal pool. He was using red bait. Carika Meyer wrote to me earlier this week saying that, two years ago, I included a short story and photo about her eightyear-old daughter Kira Bester who had caught a spotted grunter with her tiny fishing rod at Witsands on Women’s Day 2010. This past weekend they again spent Women’s Day at Witsand, and Kira again caught a grunter.
WP COLOURS Tricolour triumph: Somerset West Primary School pupil Breyton Poole was recently awarded his third set of Western Province Schools Colours for the year after claiming a silver medal in the WP u.12 Boys’ Cross-country Championships. Breyton will now represent the WP schools team at the Western Cape Schools Cross-country Championships to be held on Saturday 25 August. He was also selected for the WP schools u.12 rugby team, which will play in a coastal rugby tournament during the September holiday. Earlier this year (in March) he won a gold medal for high jump in his age category at the WP Primary Schools Athletics Championships, and was selected to represent the WP primary schools team at the Western Cape Athletics Championships.
Kira Bester (10) holds up the spotted grunter she caught with her bare hands while at Witsand recently. Carika said Kira, now 10 years old, still tries to fish wherever they go. She has upgraded from the tiny rod, and is looking forward to returning to Witsands. This time she caught the spotted grunter with her bare hands. Carika said there were no anglers in sight and Kira was the only person fishing, but she refused to give up. She said that, while fishing from the harbour wall, they saw something splashing below close to the rocks – and in a flash Kira was down on the rocks to catch the fish with her hands. News from Somerset Sport in the local mall is that the new Shimano Beastmaster has arrived. This is a heavy super-new carbon rod made with the latest technology to make the rod far lighter and stronger to handle big fish and cast farther. The Power Pro and Suffix braid is also in stock; it’s very popular, and is used as backing on shark reels and for casting on multipliers and coffee grinders.

RUGBY COLUMN
Local clubs are pushing hard for promotion WITH no matches being played this week, I’ve got the perfect opportunity to have a look at how our clubs are doing as we go into the home straight of the season. With many of our clubs still fighting it out to be promoted, I urge local fans to continue supporting their teams in numbers; hopefully we can have as many teams promoted as possible. Helderberg Berge are placed first in Super League B, but mainly due to an excellent first round of fixtures and thus far having remained unbeaten at home. Speaking to senior members at the beginning of the season, it was always a realistic goal to win the league and put things in place for next season competing in Super A. Their current position does not, however, secure them a league win, especially after their lacklustre performance against Kuils River and, most recently, their loss to NNC. Something is definitely not gelling at the moment, but they have two weeks to sort that out. St Georges After an up-and-down first round, St Georges have suddenly picked up 19 points from a possible 20. This has propelled them to third place on the log, but more impor-
tantly they have their fate in their own hands, with the big fixture definitely being hosting Kraaifontein at Gustrouw. Last year they found themselves in a similar position and then lost to Goodwood, so let’s hope they can pull it off this time round. With a few too many players in the twilight of their careers, I wish them the best of luck. Macassar Macassar are having their best season in years, having been unbeaten at home and thus far having won all their derby matches. Being placed first in Premier B means everyone will be gunning for you, but they seem to be handling the pressure well. A great balance between youth and experience in vital positions has carried them well, but their deciding match is definitely the return fixture against Sir Lowrians. Sir Lowrians The Navy Train were always billed for promotion contenders, but I think that they are placing too much pressure on themselves to win the league. As they did last season, they thrashed everyone in their path, but fell short in the real crunch matches. This season it’s neighbours Macassar breathing down their necks, and any sort of complacency is going to cost them dearly again.
KARATE
Strand United United can definitely not be happy with their season so far, especially having an average of over 50 players at training throughout the year. With just four points separating them and the bottom two clubs, they should turn their attention to surviving in the Premier B. What United do have in their favour is four home games left out of the six. Strand Strand are well placed for promotion in Division 1. Having two games in hand is putting pressure on their closest rivals. It all comes down to pressure and who can handle it, and I believe coach Allie Harris has put everything in place for them to go all the way. Raithby Universals RU have had a topsy-turvy season. They seemed to struggle under coach Ryan Harris, but are suddenly performing well under Desmond Williams. What must be a concern for Raithby is their ability to beat traditionally stronger clubs while losing to weak teams. They still have a chance of promotion, but winning matches with bonus points will be vital. All Saints All Saints are having a great season, and are placed second in Division 2. Winning more consistently on the road has been their key thus far, but the real tests are yet to come.
The results of facing Atlantis at home and Violets at Chukker Road could well determine Saints’ fate this season. I think they are good enough to pull it off. Strand Pioneers Pioneers have gone through a complete make-over, with a virtually new executive, new coaches and many new players. An inconsistent away record has been a concern, although it was almost expected with the number of youngsters in the team. With an outside chance of promotion, they still have a lot to play for, but coach Anwar Josephs and his assistants will have to keep it together for six more weeks. A strapping course will be hosted by The Sports Foundation Helderberg in conjunction with Dan Grobler and Mueller Sports on 31 August and 1 September. To find out more call Lyndon Julius on 0 076 412 6616. Remember that Rematch Sport has relocated from 9 Hole in the Wall Centre to unit 7. All rugby gear is being marked down by up to 40%.

DE BEERS Football Club’s u.17 team are slowly but surely making their presence felt in their league after initially being totally written off. The season started badly, with no coach and only three registered players – plus they had to forfeit a number of 3–0 games as they did not have enough players to field a side. However, they were determined to play and did all they could to get a team on the field. The team’s young, inexperienced and ever-hopeful Ryan Porter, who put up his hand to coach the team, reports that they played against a determined fifth-placed Garden Village side last week, and won the match 2–1. After the shocking news of having six points deducted from their total of four points, the team’s morale was low going into this match with minus two points on the log. De Beers, however, played well and had a minimum of 70% of the possession throughout the game, as well as the best goal-scoring opportunities. “We lacked the accuracy we needed and paid the price by going one–nil down late
RUGBY
Navy Train keen to set the record straight WITH the Springboks playing Argentina in the Champions League on Saturday, Sir Lowrians’ next fixture will be the big derby against Macassar at Sir Lowry Park on 25 August. The Navy Train will be hungry for a win after Macassar’s upset first-round victory. A capacity crowd is expected at Sir Lowry Park for the derby; over 2 800 people attended the game at Macassar. Sir Lowrians have had great season to date, dominating most teams – a fact reflected in their
superior points difference of 371 after 12 games, including a bonus point in each game. Macassar had a couple of close games recently against Eerste River and Lagunya, but managed to win despite some shaky rugby. The major difference between the two rivals is the kicking game of Macassar’s fly half Bradley Daniels, who punished Sir Lowrians for every penalty conceded in their own half. Sir Lowrians will look to be more disciplined and keep Macassar’s main scoring op-
portunities to a minimum. If Daniels’ boot is kept out of the game, Macassar will need to use their back line more effectively. Home advantage played a significant role in the first round, with the crowd in full voice backing Macassar. Spectators this time will need to get to the field early for the best seats. Sir Lowrians’ third team will play their replay match against Milnerton tomorrow (Friday) at the Theo Marias Sports Complex in Milnerton at 19:00.
in the first half, but fought back with a great performance and clinched a goal in the second half,” says Porter. “We dominated possession with great passing accuracy and good communication throughout the game. “Captain Kyle Cox played an outstanding role as a central defender and a leader, being very vocal and lifting team spirits.” He adds that everyone in the team played a crucial role in securing a point against Garden Village, with the winning goal coming from striker Vuyani Ralawe. “I was thrown in the deep end, never having coached before, and started off with six players training and only three registered for the first two weeks of the season. At present we have 16 guys at training sessions, with 14 registered players with practically all their subs paid. “I feel like we are almost at the top of the mountain – maybe not in points, but in the progress we have made – and believe that with the last few games we can push hard to get away from the bottom of the log. “I would like to thank Gareth Gelderbloom for his assistance in helping me coach the team throughout the year.”

Helderberg disappoint HELDERBERG paid the price of irresponsible tactics in last Friday evening’s Super League B clash against second-on-the-log NNC at Parow, losing the match 35–20. The visitors, trailing 18–10 at the break, came away from the defeat with few reputations intact. Helderberg started the match on a high, when after only four minutes fullback Christo Southey set off on a run from his own 22 m line. As he got to the NNC 22 m line he passed to captain and outside centre Enrico Swartz, who was unstoppable (5–0). Then things went awry. First, NNC’s flyhalf slotted a penalty in the eighth minute, then a senseless long pass into the wind was intercepted for a runaway try, metres from the NNC line (10–5). In the 25th minute, NNC again intercepted against the run of play to score another long-range try (15–5). In the 36th minute, Helderberg scrumhalf Armien Bailey took a quick tap penalty to send lock De Wet Neethling away for a corner try (15–10). Just before half-time, NNC added another penalty (18–10). With the wind at Helderberg’s backs in the
second half, a lot more was expected of them, but in the 11th minute NNC claimed another penalty (21–10). Minutes later, hooker Zane Raimondi took a tap penalty and passed to number 8 Umraan Jadwat, who rounded off in the corner (21–15). NNC then rubbed it in with two converted tries (35–15). Near the end of the game, left wing Bradley Mentoor scored a try for a consolation bonus point (35–20). Among Helderbergers who excelled were fullback Christo Southey, number 8 Umraan Jadwat and flanker Gary Williams. The absence of loose forward Carel du Preez, with a shoulder injury, was sorely felt. Other results against NNC (Helderberg listed first): second teams 31–15; third teams 20–3; u.20 A’s 17–3; Helderberg IV 20, Milnerton 0. Due to the Champions League test at Newlands on Saturday, there is no club rugby this weekend. However, the long-awaited men’s reunion at Helderberg Rugby Club is on Friday evening. Admission is R50.
