Die bestuurder is deur ambulanspersoneel van EMR na die Hermanus-hospitaal gebring. Hy verkeer in ’n ernstige, maar stabiele toestand. ) Last Sunday afternoon a man of 70 drove through a boundary fence and upended his car against the wall of a unit in the Onrus Close complex. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident. The man apparently drove out of the Onrus Trading Post and straight over the Main Road. The driver was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition by paramedics.

Nadat die voertuig terug op sy wiele ge­ plaas is, was die skade aan die Hyundai duidelik sigbaar.

Onderstebo op sy neus JANINE VAN DER RIET ’n Bejaarde man het Sondagmiddag die Hoofstraat in Onrus oorgesteek en in ’n woonkompleks vasgery, waarna sy motor vooroor geslaan en stert-in-die-lug teen ’n muur te lande gekom het.

Die 70-jarige motoris het na bewering by die Onrus Handelspos inkopies gedoen en ongeveer 16:45 uit die parkeerarea gery.

In plaas daarvan om links of regs in die Hoofstraat te draai, het hy lynreg oor die pad geskiet en dwarsdeur die omheining van die Onrus Close-woonkompleks ge-

ploeg.

Sy Hyundai-sedanmotor het teen die motorhuis van een van die wooneenhede in die kompleks in ’n vertikale posisie op sy neus tot stilstand gekom.

Magda du Toit, wat in die boonste woonstel bly, sê sy en haar gesin het in die sitkamer gesit toe hulle meteens ’n harde slag hoor.

“Ons het uitgekyk, maar niks in die pad gewaar nie. Toe ons na links kyk, sien ons die voertuig binne die kompleks teen die muur van ’n motorhuis, met sy stert in die lug. Daar was een persoon binne die voertuig.”

Ann Marais, nog ’n inwoner, het die slag gehoor maar nie die

ongeluk gesien nie. Sy sê baie motoriste het stilgehou en vinnig die owerhede in kennis gestel.

Die bestuurder was sowat 35 minute lank in die voertuig vasgekeer. Beamptes moes eers die voertuig weer op sy wiele kry voordat hy uit die voertuig gesny kon word.

Die eerste ambulans was om 17:05 op die toneel, waarna die brandweer en EMR ook opgedaag het.

Du Toit sê toe die ongeluk plaasvind, was daar gelukkig geen kinders wat op die grasperke binne die kompleks gespeel het nie.

JANINE VAN DER RIET “Hierdie is die ergste vorm van naamskending en laster denkbaar!”

So sê Barry Cilliers, skoolhoof van Laerskool Hermanus, ná ’n dispuut met die ma van ’n 10-jarige seun wat ’n rasse-vete op die sosiale netwerk Facebook ontketen het. Daar is ook oor die aangeleentheid berig in twee poniekoerante. ’n Blanke ma van ’n graad vyf kleurlingseun, beskuldig Cilliers van rassisme nadat haar seun nie in dié skool toegelaat is nie.

Die ma en seun se name is bekend aan die Hermanus Times, maar om die identiteit van die minderjarige te beskerm, word die name weerhou.

Op verskeie blaaie op Facebook word die skoolhoof onder meer uitgekryt as ’n rassis en leuenaar.

Die ma beweer sy het op 17 Januarie saam met haar (blanke) dogter by die skool aangekom om navraag te doen oor toelating vir haar seun. “Ek het eers op 14 Januarie gehoor die maatskappy waarvoor ek gewerk het, maak toe en ons moes inderhaas van die Kaap na Hermanus verhuis. Dit is die rede vir die laat aansoek.”

Sy sê Cilliers en die sekretaresse het haar verseker dat daar plek vir haar seun sal wees, en die familie moet net haar seun se oorplasingskaart van sy vorige skool in Gordonsbaai, asook sy geboortesertifikaat, aan Laerskool Hermanus gee vir toelating.

“Ons is die Maandag terug skool toe en toe die hoof uit sy kantoor kom, het hy my nie eers gegroet nie. Terug in sy kantoor het die sekretaresse met hom gaan praat, maar sy het aan my gesê die hoof sê daar is geen plek nie. Ek het gevra om die hoof self te sien, waarna sy weer met sy dagboek na sy kantoor is. Toe sy terugkom het sy weereens verduidelik dat die hoof sê hy kan my nie help nie.”

Die ma beweer ná sy aan die sekretaresse verduidelik het dat geen skool ’n kind mag weier nie, is sy weer terug na die hoof se kantoor. “Die sekretaresse het uitgekom, weer gesê die hoof kan my nie sien nie, en gesê ek kan my kind by ’n kleurlingskool, soos Hawston Primêr, inskryf.”

Cilliers ontken dat hy enige kontak met die ma gehad het.

“Die enigste kommunikasie was ’n skriftelike brief wat aan haar gestuur is om haar in kennis te stel dat haar kind vierde op die waglys vir die graad vyf Afrikaanse klas is.”

Die skool se register, wat aan die Hermanus Times oorhandig is, wys dat die ma eers op 23 Januarie ’n aansoekvorm aangevra het.

“Sy was nie self by die skool nie, maar het

iemand gestuur om die aansoekvorm namens haar op te tel,” sê Cilliers. “Op 27 Januarie het die ma die vorm ingehandig, maar die skool was reeds vol.”

Volgens die register is daar nog drie blanke leerlinge ná die ma se seun wie se laat aansoeke ook afgekeur is weens die feit dat die klasse vol is. Die sekretaresse by die skool ontken ook ten sterkste dat sy die ma na Hawston Primêr verwys het.

Die ma beweer sowat ’n week gelede is twee graad vyf-leerders in die Afrikaanse klas ingeskryf. “Hoe kan die skool vol wees as daar dan twee weke ná my aansoek twee wit kinders ingeskryf is?”

Cilliers verwys weer na die register as bewys dat geen leerlinge in dieselfde klas ná die seun se aansoek in die skool toegelaat is nie.

Cilliers sê die samestelling van Laerskool Hermanus word baie goed verteenwoordig met alle kultuurgroepe. Hy stuur elke Donderdag die name van leerlinge wat op die waglys is, soos gespesifiseer deur die onderwysdepartment se beleid, deur na dié department.

Volgens Cilliers is die seun se naam ook deurgestuur. Die departement kyk dan waar anders hulle die leerlinge kan akkommodeer.

“Dit is ’n illusie dat ons in die verlede leef met apartheidsdrome. Dit is absurd en lasterlik.”

Intussen sê die ma dat haar seun by vriende in Gordonsbaai bly, waar hy steeds skoolgaan. Hy is emosioneel onstabiel, sê sy. “Elke Sondag wanneer die kind moet teruggaan Gordonsbaai toe, is dit ’n tranedal en hy voel verwerp.”

Die tegnologieklas en wetenskapklas by Laerskool Hermanus word tans as ekstra klaskamers gebruik.

“Die skool is ’n model vir enige ander skool. Die ouers van die skool het reeds tien klaskamers, ’n skoolsaal en ander fasiliteite gebou, plus 11 ekstra onderwysers aangestel, juis sodat ons meer leerlinge kan akkomodeer en toegang kan bied tot puik onderrig,” sê Cilliers.

Hy sê voorts dit blyk dat daar ander magte agter die skerms is “wat hierdie lasterlike storie dryf”.

Paddy Attwell, direkteur: kommunikasie van die Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdepartment sê hulle is bewus van die saak.

“Ons bevestig dat die skool vol is en dat die kind vierde op die waglys is. Ons weet dat die ouer onlangs na Hermanus verhuis het en as gevolg hiervan kon sy eers in Januarie aansoek doen.”

Attwell sê verder dat die skool die aantygings van rassisme ten sterkste ontken. ) Groblersdallers van Hoërskool Ben Viljoen: reunie vir oud­skoliere van 1953 tot 1960.

CHILDLINE

Amphitheatre concept scrapped CILENE BEKKER The amphitheatre concept at Piet se Bos at Grotto beach, which had Voëlklip residents and homeowners hot under the collar, is no longer on the cards.

According to a statement released by the Overstrand Municipality on Tuesday, ‘the amphitheatre concept will not be entertained further’.

At the public meeting on 18 January to discuss the development proposals for Grotto beach, which included a double storey restaurant and an amphitheatre, the vast majority of the attendees were not supportive of the proposed amphitheatre, as reported in the article ‘NO! to Grotto amphitheatre’ published in the 23/01/2014 issue of Hermanus Times.

People who reside around Kirstenbosch in Cape Town highlighted excessive noise pollution from the outdoor theatre. Also, should classical music concerts be held, the music will not be audible due to the noise generated by wave action.

On consideration of these viewpoints, the municipality says in its release that it is clear from the first hand experience of those who live in close proximity to an amphitheatre elsewhere, that the proposed amphitheatre will not add value to the residents and/or the community.

As for the proposed double storey restaurant on the footprint of the old Nautilus (that burnt down years ago) the majority of attendees had felt that the site of the existing eatery, Dutchies, should be upgraded to fulfil the function of a restaurant and that there would be no need for the old Nautilus to be resurrected.

The municipality, however, says the proposed restaurant and kiosk facilities will be established on the old Nautilus site, but that the structure will be downscaled in terms of height to a flat roof structure and elevated on stilts to make provision for possible erosion activities.

They add that this proposed activity does not require a Basic Assessment Report (BAR), since it commenced before 1998 and this aspect was clarified with the Department of Environmental Af-

fairs and Development Planning.

Neil Hoogenhout, one of the convenors of the Grotto Beach Action Group (GAG) says he is “extremely pleased that the amphitheatre concept will not be entertained further and I am sure all the supporters of our Action Group and attendees of the 18 January meeting will feel the same. We will now get legal advice as to what paperwork and notifications are required to ensure that this idea cannot be resurrected sometime in the future”.

As for the restaurant site, he says: “My personal view is that the overwhelming opinion at the 18 January meeting was that the restaurant should be on the existing Dutchies site and not on the old Nautilus site. I think the view was expressed at the meeting that it is indeed disturbing that the Overstrand Municipality intends relying on the fact that the old restaurant was on the site before the laws were changed. They have the perfect opportunity to move the buildings back to the setback lines prescribed by the new laws. I am sure this subject will be further investigated by some of the 18 January attendees. As for my personal view: I cannot imagine how terrible a restaurant on stilts will look at that location.”

With regards to the envisaged rehabilitation of the wetland and upgrading of the picnic area, of which the attendees were in favour, the municipality confirms that this will still form part of the process. The picnic area (where the amphitheatre was planned) will be landscaped with shaded facilities and utilized as a picnic and braai area.

Asked what the next step is now, the municipality responded that the BAR will be amended and include plans reflecting the amendments and will be made available on the Overstrand website. All registered parties will be notified in the prescribed manner as determined by legislation, which will include a comment period.

The final BAR, once the latter public participation process has been finalised, will be submitted to the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning for consideration.

All documentation of the public participation process will form part of the final BAR, said the municipality.

BMW AFGESKRYF: Vier mense is beseer toe die bestuurder van ’n BMW Saterdagmiddag beheer oor die voertuig ver­ loor het op die Karwyders­ kraalpad. Volgens ’n oogge­ tuie het die BMW ’n paar keer gerol tot waar dit in ’n sloot tot stilstand gekom het. Al vier insittendes is uit die voertuig geslinger. Die mense was van­ af Hermanus na Caledon on­ derweg. Hulle is na die Her­ manus­hospitaal geneem, waarna drie van die vier be­ seerdes na Tygerberg­hospitaal oorgeplaas is.

Met bykans 100 jaar ondervinding in begrafnisversekering en begrafnisdiens, verseker AVBOB dat daar goed na u en u geliefdes omgesien sal word.

KRY TOT R4000.00 KORTING OP ’N BEGRAFNIS OF VERASSINGSDIENS Alle lewens wat ons ’n AVBOB-polis verseker is, kwalifiseer vir gratis vervoer van die oorledene in Suid-Afrika en kry tot R4000.00 korting op ’n begrafnis op voorwaarde dat die begrafnis deur AVBOB Begrafnisdiens uitgevoer word.

Drie verdagtes vas ná roof

AVBOB open Hermanus-tak Daar word nog afrondingswerk aan die nuwe AVBOB-gebou gedoen en van die meubels is nog in hul plastiekomhulsels, maar in haar kantoor is Theresa Maree al druk aan die werk. Haar man, Lukas, het ook sommer self sy moue opgerol en hand bygesit om die opknapping van die gebou te voltooi.

“Ons is baie opgewonde oor die nuwe perseel,” sê Theresa van die ou vissermanshuisie in Royalstraat wat nou spog met ’n splinternuwe baadjie. Daar is onder meer ’n ruim ontvangsarea, verskeie kantore, ’n badkamer en besigtigingskamer. As die nuwe agent van AVBOB Hermanus, woon die Marees ook op die perseel, wat beteken dat hulle 24-uur ’n dag beskikbaar is.

AVBOB is landswyd bekend as begrafnisondernemers, maar eintlik is hulle jou eenstop onderneming wat gespesialiseerde begrafnisversekeringspolisse en -dienste aanbied vanuit 156 agentskappe in Suid-Afrika en Namibië.

Theresa is al deel van AVBOB sedert 1996, en het AVBOB oor die jare verteenwoordig in Edenvale, Pietermaritzburg, Pretoria en Durban, voordat sy en Lukas onlangs na Hermanus verhuis het om die nuwe tak te bestuur.

“Ons het nog altyd van die Kaap gehou,” sê Theresa, “en ek het altyd gedink ons sal eendag in Agulhas aftree. Maar nou is ons hier in Hermanus.”

Sy en Lukas verskaf ’n een-stopdiens, sê sy, wat

alles insluit. “Ons reël die blomme, die kis, die registrasie van dood, die lykswa, die diens, die predikant, die kerk, selfs die doodsberigte in die koerant.

“Naasbestaandes is dikwels diep bedroef en in ’n toestand van skok, en ons poog om hulle by te staan en te help sodat hulle nie nog hoef te sukkel met al die praktiese oorwegings en bekommernisse wat met die afsterwe van ’n geliefde gepaard gaan nie.”

Theresa sê sy voel saam met haar kliënte, veral diegene wat ’n kind aan die dood moes afstaan.

“Dis gewoonlik vir my die heel ergste. As iemand oud was, en veral as iemand lank siek was, is die dood soms ’n verligting want dit beteken die lyding is verby. ’n Skielike dood, soos in die geval van ’n ongeluk of ’n hartaanval, is moeiliker vir naasbestaandes om te aanvaar.

“Mense ervaar die dood en beleef hartseer op verskillende maniere, maar mens moet altyd simpatie en empatie hê.

“En soms is daar selfs ’n tikkie humor,” voeg sy by. “Die dood is deel van die lewe en ons loop nie altyd met lang gesigte rond nie.”

Mens kom gou agter dat AVBOB vir Theresa en Lukas meer as net ’n werk is; hulle stort hart en siel in die dienste wat hulle aan die publiek lewer.

Kontak hulle by 028 312 1156/7.

Several members sold these structures, documents and the tender will be advertised along with furniture and other belongings, before the end of this month.

Met verwysing na die berig Tiaan nou ook sy kunsbeen kwyt, gepubliseer in die Hermanus Times op 5 Desember 2013, het die nasionale persombudsman die Hermanus Times berispe.

Hiermee die bevinding van die persombudsman.

Die nasionale persombudsman het Hermanus Times berispe omdat ons nagelaat het om die Tiaan Boshoff-fonds se mening oor die eienaarskap van sekere sporttoerusting te publiseer. ’n Administrateur van die fonds het ’n klag by die persombudsman ingedien oor ’n storie wat ons op 5 Desember verlede jaar gepubliseer het onder die opskrif “Tiaan nou ook sy kunsbeen kwyt”.

Die storie sê dat ’n saak van diefstal teen die administrateur by die Hermanus-polisie geopen is “nadat Tiaan se kunsbeen, handfiets en tennisrolstoel van hom weggegneem is”. Die seun (14) is sonder ’n linkerbeen gebore en sy regtervoet is daarna afgesit. ’n Fonds is gestig waarna ’n handfiets, ’n tennisrolstoel en ’n prostese vir sy gebruik mettertyd gekoop en/of verkry is.

Die persoon se naam word nie genoem nie omdat hy/sy nog nie in die hof gepleit het nie.

Die klag was dat die joernalis nie die inligting gebruik het wat beskikbaar gestel is nie (waarin gesê word – reg of verkeerd – dat die toerusting aan die fonds behoort, en nie aan Tiaan nie), dat die koerant die klaer nie genoeg tyd gegee het om behoorlik kommentaar te lewer nie, en dat die storie feitelik verkeerd is.

Die ombudsman, Johan Retief, het gesê dat die saak tans voor die hof is. “Ek gaan (en kan/mag) daarom nie enige uitspraak lewer oor wie die wettige eienaar van die goedere is nie – dit is die hof se taak; ek is ook nie geïnteresseerd in die vraag of die

administrateur (of die fonds se administrateurs) dalk met hul optrede gefouteer het nie. Ek gaan my beslis nie op die hof se terrein begewe nie.

“My enigste belangstelling in hierdie saak is in die vraag of die koerant eties berig het (lees: opgetree het in ooreenstemming met die letter en gees van die perskode).”

Hy het beklemtoon dat daar ’n ander mening was as ons s’n oor die eienaarskap van die artikels.

Die administrateur het hierdie ander mening aan ons oorgedra, betyds vir publikasie – en die publiek het die reg gehad om oor hierdie kernaspek ingelig te word.

“Die feit dat die koerant nie oor bogenoemde berig het nie, was daarom onbillik en het die potensiaal gehad om die administrateur en die fonds onnodige skade te berokken.”

Retief het dit egter betreur dat die klaer nie sy/haar weg oop gesien het om betyds op verdere vrae te reageer nie.

Hy het ook die Hermanus Times versoek om die klaer die geleentheid te gee om sy/ haar mening te gee in die vorm van ’n brief aan die redakteur (indien so verkies). (Sien die brief op bl. 10.)

Besoek www.presscouncil.org.za vir die volledige bevinding. ) Intussen is Tiaan se kunsbeen, tennisrolstoel en resiesfiets teruggegee aan hom, soos berig in die HT (Tiaan het nou al sy items terug - 2014-01-30).

Tiaan Boshoff se pa, Bossie Boshoff, het intussen ook ’n saak van diefstal teen die administrateur geopen. Tydens ’n spoliasie-aansoek het die hof bevind dat Tiaan se kunsbeen aan hom teruggegee moet word. Die administrateur van die fonds het nie die bevinding teengestaan nie, en het ook nie in die hof opgedaag nie en die bevel is toe permanent toegestaan. – RED

Thieves have pricey taste JANINE VAN DER RIET Three housebreaking and theft cases were opened in the last two weeks where goods worth thousands of rands were stolen while the owners of the houses were asleep.

According to lieutenant Fadila September, spokesperson for the Hermanus Police, in most burglary cases a window or door is usually left open.

On 28 January at a house in Voëlklip, the family went to bed at around midnight. A small window was open through which the suspect gained entry and then looked through the entire house.

In the study, next to the main bedroom, the suspect took various items of expensive men’s clothing and shoes, cash, credit cards and a laptop.

“The house was in chaos when I woke up the next morning. The suspect(s) searched through everything, but they only took expensive goods and did not take any food or alcohol,” said the owner, who does not want to be named.

Some of the stolen items were later recovered high up on the mountain in Voëlklip.

On 31 January, the owners of a house in Eastcliff did not turn on their alarm and said it appears the suspects gained access through a fan light window. The suspect(s) stole shoes, an expensive watch and ring, a laptop, iPads, cellphones and a camera.

The next morning when they woke up, they found the front door open and realised they had been robbed.

On 3 February, at a house in a secure estate in Vermont, the owner was woken up by screams.

Friends of the family, visiting from overseas, had woken up and screamed when they realised the house had been burgled. Besides the cellphones, iPads, perfumes, wallets, cash and handbags that were taken, the friend’s British passport was also stolen.

The police are investigating the cases and no arrests have been made.

UNCLAIMED: This beautiful dog was picked up by concerned policemen in the Hemel­ en­Aarde Valley near De Bos Dam on Thursday. The officers took the dog to the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society. Please contact Haws on 028 312 1281.

Stony Point ­ontwikkeling in Bettysbaai byna voltooi FANIE KRIGE Die nuwe eko-inligtingsentrum en teekamer van meer as R9 miljoen op Stony Point, Bettysbaai, sal na verwagting binnekort geopen word. Dié toerismeontwikkelings-projek is verlede week deur lede van die Parlementêre Portefeuljekomitee oor Toerisme besoek as deel van hulle toer deur die Overberg.

Die ontwikkeling is deur die Nasionale Departement van Toerisme befonds en uitgevoer deur die agentskap Cassidra.

Die besoekers het ook kennis gemaak met lede van die Mooi Uitsig Trust, wat deur Cassidra op die been gebring is as regsliggaam vir die Mooi Uitsig-gemeenskap, die beoogde begunstigdes van die projek.

Die projek is byna voltooi en wanneer dit na verwagting einde Maart oorhandig word, sal daar buiten die ekosentrum en teekamer ook ablusiefasiliteite, ’n stoor vir ’n patrollieboot van CapeNature, parkeerareas, buitelug-toeligtingsborde en sitplek op die terrein beskikbaar wees. ’n Mentor is vir ses maande aangestel om die Mooi Uitsig Trust met sy bedrywighede by te staan.

Die voorsitter van die Parlementêre Portefeuljekomitee, Donald Mlindwa Gumede, het gesê hy sal graag wil sien dat daar met sulke projekte ’n volhoubare lewenswyse in gemeenskappe gevestig moet word.

“Wanneer mense ’n goeie bestaan voer, word daar nie net meer werksgeleenthede geskep nie, maar misdaad neem ook af. Veral in landelike gebiede moet mense met mekaar saamwerk om die beste uit hul omstandighede te haal,” het hy gesê.

Die ander belangegroepe in die projek is die Overstrand-munisipaliteit, die Bettysbaai-belastingbetalersvereniging en die Bettysbaai-bootklub. Ook betrokke is die WesKaapse Departemente van Omgewingsake en Ontwikkelingsbeplanning, Kultuursake en Sport.

Pop­up wedding saves the day

9

HEDDA MITTNER Quick thinking, a positive attitude and swift action were needed to save the day when a couple cancelled their wedding only hours before the fairytale event was to take place in Hermanus.

Karen Wurbach from Best Days event planning and co-ordination, says she received a call on Saturday morning from the not-so-lucky couple, who lives in Gauteng, to cancel their beach-themed wedding scheduled for 15:30 that afternoon at Kammabaai. The ceremony was to be followed by a reception at the Classroom restaurant, where Kevin and Sumien Warwick were to serve the 32 confirmed wedding guests a three-course dinner.

Karen had everything ready, from the decor and flowers to the printed menus and the DJ, chef Anli van Vuuren had already baked the wedding cake and Kevin and his team were about to start prepping all the food when they received the news.

“The tables had been set, we had organised the waiters and had taken no bookings for lunch or dinner because the venue had been booked exclusively for the wedding reception,” says Sumien.

“At first we did not know how to react because it felt unreal. In all the years that Kevin has done catering for weddings, this has never happened. All we’d received was a deposit from the bride.”

“At first we were just devastated,” says Karen. “Kevin was about to let his staff go and close up for the evening, but then I thought: let’s

The ill­fated ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ were toasted in their absence and a great wedding party was en­ joyed by all. rather dó something!”

After consulting with the Warwicks they decided to go ahead with the reception and set about inviting people to enjoy the dinner at a discounted rate in order to recoup some of their losses.

“Within a few hours we managed to round up more than double the amount of people than those who were to have attended the (real) wedding,” says Karen cheerfully. The pop-up wedding proved immensely popular and she says they had “a great party”.

“We made up two scarecrows from the Hemel-en-Aarde Garden Market to look like the bride and groom and they were seated at the bridal table next to the wedding cake,” says Sumien.

“The DJ played the wedding march and Kevin, acting as MC, proposed a toast to the couple in their absence. The ‘wedding guests’ chimed in with ‘...for they are jolly good fellows’, the dance floor was opened by Karen in the arms of the

Karen Wurbach from Best Days event planning and co­ordination opened the dance floor in the arms of the ‘groom’. ‘groom’ and at the end there were the usual thank you speeches.”

Sumien says the guests partied until late and had an unforgettably fun evening.

Says Karen: “Thanks to everyone pulling together, including Dieter Lauff from Function Hire who donated all the glassware and DJ James Peiser who kept everyone entertained, we were able to turn a most unfortunate situation into Hermanus’s first pop-up wedding.”

Arguments for and against shopping mall EDITORIAL COMMENT Unity in diversity If the letters and SMSes sent to the Her­ manus Times in the last two weeks are anything to go by, the main topic of con­ versation is currently the proposed retail shopping mall in Sandbaai.

The fact that opinion is divided is not necessarilly a bad thing, as it brings dif­ ferent aspects of the development and its possible effects, both negative and positive, to the fore.

It is essential that we as residents take all these differing opinions into conside­ ration so that we can be pro­active in­ stead of reactive, as is so often the case.

Any development, especially of this magnitude, has an impact on our town, and consequences that have to be antici­ pated.

The level of response so far is a clear indication that as residents we all care deeply for our town, and the preservati­ on of its future as both a prime tourist destination and a place we feel privile­ ged to call home.

Burns Night Supper a great success On Friday 24 January members of the Scottish community and friends held a Burns Night Supper at the Hermanus Golf Club to celebrate the birth of Robbie Burns.

This was enjoyed by all and Overstrand Hospice received a wonderful donation of R4 573 which is greatly appreciated by the Hospice team.

DEE BACK OVERSTRAND HOSPICE FUNDING COORDINATOR

Get on with CBD upliftment What I have read in the Hermanus Times regarding the mall in the last while boggles the mind. My family and I moved to Hermanus just over a year ago, and we are proud to call Hermanus home. The only disappointment for us is the constant delays in the building of the mall.

To see the reactions from some sections of the community to the mall is surprising. Some of the arguments raised are simply ludicrous.

If you want to question the accuracy of research done, where is the research you have done?

It seems some interesting conclusions are reached based on nothing but perceptions.

The CBD needs revitalisation, mall or no mall.

Get on with it.

KEVIN

When it comes to shopping malls, Hermanus residents have diverse opinions, none of which are, of course, irrelevant.

There are two broad schools of thought: “for” and “against”.

Both schools have compelling arguments to support their particular standpoint.

In August 2012 I took a fairly strong stance against the Whale Coast Village Mall (the mall) which was followed up with an article in HT on 12 December 2012.

My argument, which forms the basis of those ‘against’, was: ) Creates additional supply of shopping space. ) Consumer base essentially remains static. ) Does not necessarily create additional long term jobs. ) Existing “cake” sliced in smaller slices. ) Viability of old and existing businesses being compromised. ) Attracting down-market businesses to the CBD. For every 10 m² (real number is 3 m²) of shopping space built outside the CBD, the CBD will lose 1 m² – therefore the CBD stands to lose some 2 870 m²,– creating a vacuum of surplus space. We have already seen a move of the CBD towards the developments on the eastern boundary of the CBD. The vacuum being filled by downmarket establishments.

There are many case studies where this was evident, for example George, Plettenberg Bay, Rustenburg, Somerset West etc.

It is a pity that we have waited two years to wake up at the eleventh hour about the reality of the mall.

Things have also changed since 2012 and the National Development Plan was introduced to address poverty, unemployment and inequality.

The Overstrand has a population of some 84 000 people, 47 000 of whom live in the greater Hermanus area. Officially the unemployment rate is 23% (my guess, it is hugely understated), but among the youth, which makes up more than 25% of the population, it is 35%.

From an income perspective more than 67% of the population earns less than R6 400 per month and some 52% less than R3 200, of which 16% have no income. The average per capita income is around R2 200. With negative savings this makes the Overstrand a very poor community.

Our town is in dire need of investments in businesses in order to create jobs and broaden the tax base. I am sure that Retail Africa did their homework in order to earn a reasonable return on their investment and on that score the viability of the mall is entirely their risk.

The mall should create some 500 – 1 000 direct and indirect temporary jobs during the construction phase and possibly another 50 – 100 permanent jobs. Considering that since 2004 only ±1 200 jobs were created, it stands to reason that any additional jobs created, against the current economic background, is to be encouraged.

It should also have a knock-on effect on local businesses and this needs to be addressed, given the history of previous developments where local businesses were side-lined.

There is a window of opportunity from now until construction has been completed, during which the plans of the CBD Committee in conjunction with Overstrand Municipality can be refined and implemented to reinvent the CBD as something we all can be proud of.

We know what the problems are. It is how we work around these problems towards a positive result that becomes the challenge. Cape Town did it, so can we.

For the record, I still think that the mall, as the two parking garages with the best views in the world, are the products of a lack of a clear vision and strategy for Hermanus and should never have happened.

However, given the current economic imperatives I believe on balance of the facts, it is in the interest of the broader community that the mall goes ahead – we need the investment and the creation of jobs.

There is no alternative that I am aware of. The consequences of not having an alternative strategy to create jobs and alleviate poverty could be dire. This should concern all of us.

Public participation (real face-to-face, not just the mechanical ticking of boxes) and complete transparency will be needed during the lead up to the construction of the mall to ensure that hard pressed ratepayers don’t see the council transfer a huge debt burden or increased rates/tariffs to fund infrastructure related to the development of the mall.

The ratepayers should not be out-ofpocket as a result of this development.

Die Tiaan Boshoff Fonds is in 2011 gestig; die publiek kon ook geld direk aan die Boshoffs skenk. Die meerderheid donateurs was sakelui van Gauteng, maar bydraes is ook vanuit die plaaslike gemeenskap ontvang.

Die Boshoff-familie het geldelike bystand ontvang uit die fonds en gratis chirurgie is vir Tiaan gereël. Die handfiets en die tennisrolstoel is deur die fonds gekoop vir sy gebruik. Daar is herhaaldelik gestel dat die fonds eiendomsreg behou en dit is deur die boekhouer as bate gelys.

Die Boshoffs het in Maart 2012 die fiets van Ernst van Dyk gekoop en die fonds het besluit dat hul fiets vir twee maande gedeel moet word met gestremde persone van Hawston. Hierdie kontrak is onderteken, maar verbreek – Hawston-atlete is verhinder om te oefen, terwyl Tiaan albei fietse gebruik het.

Tiaan het die prostese op 29 September 2012 ontvang. Die getekende kontrak stipuleer dat die prostese die eiendom van die fonds bly totdat dit afgeteken word deur die mediese span ná suksesvolle rehabilitasie. Volgens die kontrak het Tiaan onderneem om die prostese daagliks te dra en rehabilitasie en sielkundige berading te ondergaan. Hy het egter nooit die prostese daagliks gedra in 2012 nie.

Reëlings is toe getref met die skool dat Tiaan die prostese in Januarie 2013 daagliks sou dra.

Volgens die fisioterapeut het hy egter nie geoefen gedurende die Desember-skoolvakansie nie en rehabilitasie moes in 2013 van vooraf begin.

Hy het sy prostese gedurende die afgelope 15 maande net sowat agt keer skool toe gedra.

Op ’n jaarvergadering van die donateurs in Julie 2013 is besluit om die fonds te hernoem na die Children’s Mobility Fund om ander gestremde kinders te help. Die donateurs het besluit om die handfiets aan die atlete van Hawston, en die prostese aan ’n ander gestremde kind, te skenk.

Daarisweer’nkontrakaandieBoshoffsgegee met die stipulasie dat die prostese teruggeneem sal word as die kontrak verbreek word. Tiaan is ’n verdere vier maande gegee om die prostese daagliks te dra, maar hy het nog steeds geweier.

Die professionele span het aanvaar dat hy nie permanent met die been sou stap nie en wou nie verdere druk op hom plaas nie. Daarom is die prostese teruggeneem.

FONDS ADMINISTRATEUR

Tom Liebenberg, regsverteenwoordiger van die Boshoffs, is deur die HT genader vir kommentaar: “Ons kan nie kommentaar lewer op die brief nie. Kriminele sake word nog ondersoek. Die saak is sub judice.”

Van molle en walvisse – op hol oor die mall Die sakekamer nooi almal uit vir ’n vergadering oor die mall wat hulle wil bou in Sandbaai.

So gaan sit ons toe in die “hall” en luister hoe gryse wyses brom oor die mall.

Die saaltjie is vol en die sakekamer is mooi paraat, sommer met koffie en gassprekers.

Een gasspreker is werklik vol gas, soos hy stoom en prut oor aardverwarming en klimaatsverandering, nasionale en provinsiale omgewingsplanne, maar net soos ons ogies begin toeval bring hy uiteindelik die kloutjie by die mall, deur aan te beveel dat die munisipaliteit eerder vir die armes huise daar bou. Slaan my met ’n slap snoek! Ons dog die oom is ’n “stand up comedian” (wel, dan moet hy nog bietjie oefen) want dis immers private grond.

Maar miskien is hy die EFF se agent hier, om sommer left, right en senter grond te kom onteien!

Die volgende paar sakemanne praat ook vaagweg teen die mall, maar mens wonder of hulle ook vir die armes wil huise bou, en of hulle net nie nog kompetisie teen hulle in die dorp wil hê nie en dit probeer wegsteek agter ’n vrees vir Sjinese, ag skuus, vir die verval van die CBD. Hulle betoog dat die SieBieDie (CBD) meer seedy en lelik gaan word en verval in ’n gangster hool, en dan sal al die toeriste wegbly, as hierdie monster mol gebou word.

mall en Woolies gebou was nie, maar nou ja, selfde koor en selfde song was ook daar toe die Gateway mall jare gelede gebou is.)

Ons gaan loop toe rond op die grond van die toekomstige mall. Dit sal mos heet die “Whale Coast Mall”. Maar ons lag – hulle lieg!

Dis nie eers naby die kus nie en daar is ook geen walvisse te sien nie! Ons almal noem dit sommer klaar “Sandbaai se mol”.

Wel, dis eintlik nou net regte molle en daai Aussie-plakkers, Port Jackson, wat opslaan so ver die oog kan sien. Ons, ek en die honde, loop versigtig deur Port Jackson Park en dis ’n groot plesier vir my twee vlooi taxi’s om “free range’”rond te kan hardloop en snuf vir die molshope. Dink toe: mense maak darem maklik walvisberge van mall-hope.

Ek dink by myself, ’n mol speel mos nie met ’n walvis nie, ’n mol steel nie ons fraaie kuspaadjies, toeriste of mooi eet- en koopplekkies by die waterfront nie, en ek dink geen toeris (behalwe Noord Koreane miskien?) gaan kuier in malls terwyl hulle in ons mooi sonskyn op die pragtige kus walvisse kan kyk en roomys kan eet nie.

Il faut cultiver son propre jardin – Losweg beteken dit: Everyone should mind their own garden / Elkeen moet sy eie werf bearbei (kultiveer). Waarby ek voel kom ons, wat in die CBD werk, maak eers reg hier (in ons eie tuin).

MALLMOL

Wat menigte kliënte se wagwoord ten opsigte van dienslewering is, kan baie gemaklik beskryf word met die dienslewering by Supa Quick, Hermanus. Daar word telkemale onredelike goeie diens verwag van sekere instansies (ek dink byvoorbeeld aan bankwese, wat volgens my ’n slaansak geword het vir dienslewering), maar daar is ook (nog altyd) billike verwagtinge rondom goeie dienslewering.

Ek is nie ’n verkrampte persoon wat ’n soeklig op “outydse” dienslewering wil plaas nie.

Ek dink met ’n nuwe hoed op my kop.

Dit vir my, beteken net ’n diensleweringsfirma wat net meer as die nodige sal doen om my as kliënt se behoeftes in ag te neem. Ek weet dat Oosie en sy span by Supa Quick legendaries is, en ek wil dit net bevestig.

Dit sal onregverdig wees om die detail te beskryf rakende die diens wat ek van Oosie gekry het. Ek dink dit sal hom bankrot maak as hy die diens aan almal gee! Maar ek weet hy sal dit doen. Dit is dié onbaatsugtige houding wat van hom so ’n groot sukses maak.

Baie dankie vir jou ongelooflike diens met my bakkie se “gesing”, wat toe uiteindelik ’n voorwiellaer was.

Hermanus kan sowaar trots wees om jou as besigheidseienaar en inwoner te hê.

Met groot waardering

To state that the architect single­handed­ ly destroyed the view from Hoy’s koppie is a blatant insult. What people are you referring to? How many people climb the koppie to look at that specif­ ic “blockhouse” view? You are challenged to sub­ mit, in the HT, your design of what you perceive the “blockhouse” should have looked like. Then allow us to comment on and/or insult your effort.

Don’t criticize without providing an alternative so­ lution.– HG ) Die CBD het nie genoeg parkering vir al die inwoners/besoekers nie en swak diens en hoë pry­ se laat my oor die berg vlug vir inkopies. Die anti­ mall’ers is selfsugtig en geld georiënteerd.– IN­ WONER ­ VERMONT ) Tripping over broken paving, dodging between wares packed on the sidewalks, paying for park­ ing or shopping serenely in air conditioned, safety with free parking at a mall? No competition.– JL ) Ek stem saam met ander Sandbaai­inwoners dat veral senior burgers die mall sal verwelkom.

Dink aan brandstof besparing. Gun ons iets.– IN­ WONER ­ GOLDEN HARVEST

Light rain measuring no more than 0,8 mm can be expected today (Thursday) between 11:00 and 17:00. But because of the warm upper air, the moisture moving in from the sea will not be able to rise sufficiently to form clouds that could bring more rain. The Overstrand will enjoy sunny skies over the weekend.

) To the nameless person who said we should clear Sandbaai beach ourselves, what do we pay taxes for? Not everyone is fit and able to tackle such a big job, or have the funds and trucks to do this.– LINDA ) Is daar ’n omgewingsimpakstudie gedoen om ’n breekwatermuur in Sandbaai te bou? Oppas om te veel met die natuur in te meng om die mens te bevredig. Kyk wat het met Bettysbaai se duine gebeur. ) Die fynbos en park tussen Meent­ en Wes­end strate is munisipale eiendom. As daar geld is om 5 mans te betaal om 1 paal te plant, kan 5 werklose mans vir R100 elk die perseel binne ’n paar uur opruim. Dit is ’n skande dat ons omgewing so lyk. ) Ek wonder net hoekom die gras in Onrus Kara­ vaanpark nie gesny word nie?

– WILLIE BOTHA ) Who is responsible for picking up dog pooh at Voëlklip beach? It has become a health hazard to sun seekers. ) I find it fascinating that at Onrus beach, people totally ignore the notice boards all the time. There’s no concern for the health of little toddlers and young kids by their parents who choose to ignore the “No Swimming­Pollution” sign. Loads of peo­ ple also bring all sorts of dogs to the beach and then let them off their leashes. No regard for the law as well as no consideration for anybody else. ) Northcliff residents, please listen when your dogs bark all day and during the early morning, please. Surely you must hear them or do you sleep with earplugs? Be considerate. ) Klappers kan gestop word as daar beter beheer

oor die verkoop daarvan is en die wetstoepassers nie apaties oor die afskiet van vuurwerke is nie.

Nog ’n oplossing: Verbied dit geheel en al.– EB ) Dankie aan Hugh van Bosplasie wat kla oor die honde se geblaf. Ongelukkig is die geblaf nie al wat pla nie, maar dat sekere inwoners hulle honde laat uitgaan in die strate vir ’n “walkie” sonder toesig. Veral die vrou met die drie honde in Bosplasie­singel wat haar skuifhek gereeld deur die dag oopmaak sodat hulle ons tuine kan be­ mors. En wat doen die wetstoepassers as jy klagtes lê? Hulle hoop die probleem gaan self weg.

– INWONER ­ BOSPLASIE ) The public should really be schooled on how to cross a circle. They just walk across without look­ ing. They’re going to cause accidents. Please.– LORETTA ) Aan alle leerders van Hawston Primêr wat deur­ gaan na Suid­Boland, ons is trots op julle.

– ’N OUER ) Aan my seun Matwin en al die ander familielede wat in Februarie verjaar, baie geluk.

– ISAACS ) Gelukkige Valentynsdag vir al die dames be­ trokke by Die Kolwyntjie.– JOEP & MARIE KORF ) I want to give a huge thanks to Carchele Spa at The Marine Hotel for their professional service and friendly staff. You guys are truly excellent and a cut above the rest. What an “out of this world” experience.– C MULLER ) Baie dankie aan Hendrika en haar medekolle­ gas van FNB vir hulle wonderlike diens. Ek waar­ deer dit so baie.– KAREN

Wanneer is reën eers regtig reën?

Wat is die verskil tussen swaar mistigheid en reën? En hoeveel is 30% neerslag?

Dit is ’n paar van die vrae wat lesers die afgelope tyd al hoe meer laat kopkrap, want soos Xhosa, Afrikaans en Engels in die koerant lesers soms laat frons, is daar min mense op straat wat altoos die taal van weervoorspellers verstaan.

Dit is geen grappie nie. Veral op TV wissel die voorspellers deesdae dikwels en elkeen het sy eie manier van praat oor die weer. Een sal aanmekaar sê daar is koue lug in sirkulasie en anderpad kyk. ’n Ander sal op die droogtegebiede fokus wanneer party boere duim vashou dat dit nie by hulle reën nie.

Om voor te begin, kyk ons vandag in die rubriek na die voorspelling van ’n bietjie reën (Donderdag) tussen elf- en vyfuur teen die aand se kant.

Daar word gepraat van 0,8 mm, en dit oor 30% van die Suid-Kaap. Wanneer dit uit die suide kom soos vandag, is dit seevog wat opgeneem is maar weens die warm bolug nie hoog genoeg kan styg om wolke te maak nie. Die vog gaan terug grond toe en die verskynsel word oor 30% van die gebied gesien. Die 30% wat gereeld genoem word, kan dus nie in mm gemeet word nie.

Die wenkbroue lig dan ook omdat die omvattende voorspelling ’n heel ander storie is en daarvoor is dit nodig dat mens maar die klimaat van jou onmiddellike omgewing ken. Veral die Overstrand verskil baie van omliggende gebiede en

vandaar die lekker geselsstories onder diegene wat die weer in ag neem tydens hul daaglikse aktiwiteite, soos hengel, tuinmaak en sommer net uitstappies. Dis ’n goeie beleid om vir alles te beplan.

Daar is ’n groot verskil in swak sake in die Overstrand se hoofstraat weens swak weer en min besoekers, en swak sake in die hoofstraat weens padwerke wat besoekers van die winkels af hou.

En wat sien ons vandeesweek as ons die wolke bekyk? Ons sien ’n patroon wat mooi inpas by die stand van die maan en die oorskakeling na ’n nuwe seisoen.

Dit is wolke aan- en- af , en son en geen neerslae van meer as 1 mm tot die einde van die maand nie. En oor daardie 1 mm kan mens ook lank gesels want wanneer kan ons reën, reën noem? Eers nadat die water in die sypaadjies begin afloop soos wanneer die bure hul motor was en meer water mors as wat in die dorpsdam inloop, sê oom Langfaan.

Baie geluk, Hoërskool Hermanus Hoërskool Hermanus het Saterdag 8 Februarie die geskiedenisboeke herskryf deur die eerste keer in 14 jaar die jaarlikse interskolestryd tussen Hoërskool Hermanus, Hoërskool Overberg en Hoërskool Bredasdorp te wen.

Hoërskool Overberg was die afgelope 13 jaar onoorwonne en Hermanus moes baie hard veg om hulle te onttroon.

Carina van der Merwe, Hoërskool Hermanus se sportorganiseerder en bemarker, sê die puntetelling tussen die twee skole het die hele dag wipplank gery en Hermanus het uiteindelik met net sewe punte die bo-toon gevoer. Van der Merwe het gesê: “Dit was die aflosse wat op die ou end die skaal in Hermanus se guns gedraai het. Hermanus het helfte van die aflosse gewen en twee 2de plekke behaal om die afdeling met 1 punt te wen.

NEW ARTWORKS: New works by acclaimed local art­ ist Louis Ströh van der Walt will be on exhibit at Bell­ ini Gallery in the Village Square until 23 February.

Here the owners of the gallery, Klaus Dembeck and Willie van Wyk are seen nextt to some of the works, mainly landscapes. Dembeck and Van Wyk have a long­standing relationship with the artist; they were the first to bring his artworks to the Overberg, and since then many group exhibitions, as well as a sold­ out solo exhibition entitled ‘My beloved country’ have followed. Ströh van der Walt is a master at capturing the atmospheric essence of typical South African rural scenes, ranging from farms and villages to expansive seascapes and landscapes featuring forests and moun­ tains. His works are popular among both locals and international visitors. The gallery (on the first floor of Village Square) is open Monday to Saturday from 09:00–17:00 and from 10:00–15:00 on Sundays.

The highly motivated contestants who have signed up for the WAG’s Biggest Loser Competition 2014 attend exercise classes five evenings a week. With the participants are Zumba instructor Lydia de Vries (sitting front row second from left) and Carmen Titus (back group standing towards the middle/right hand side in a black sleeveless blouse), who is the WAG project manager.

Entrants for Biggest Loser get moving KERRY VAN RENSBURG A record number of women have signed up for the Women Action Group’s 2014 Biggest Loser competition.

Forty women initially began their six-month weight-loss, fitness and well-being journey when the competition launched on 21 January. Since then the number of participants has grown to more than fifty.

Carmen Titus, Women Action Group (WAG) project manager, says after the success of their first Biggest Loser competition last year, the enthusiasm and desire to be part of this year’s competition has spread like wildfire.

The participants have embarked on an exercise programme organised by WAG and every evening at 18:00 they gather at the Mount Pleasant Business Centre and get active. The response to the exercise classes has been phenomenal.

Professional exercise instructors have offered their services and eager, energetic, and highly motivated women kitted out in their exercise gear are moving

their bodies with vuhma.

On Monday evenings Lydia de Vries does Zumba classes with the women, on Tuesdays Marc de Jongh from Pro Active takes a class, on Wednesdays Denver Scheepers offers ballroom dancing and on Thursdays Charl Cornelius presents aerobics. Fridays are reserved for energetic walks up Rotary Way, Hoy’s Koppie, Fernkloof and the like.

Amelia Williams, a dietician from district health, will work out personalised eating programmes for each of the participants.

The competition will continue until the end of July and on Women’s Day, 9 August, WAG will have a gala prize-giving function for the winners.

Titus says they are in need of sponsors for this competition.

She adds that the Biggest Loser competitors will be participating in the Cansa Relay for Life and if anyone wants to help provide water-bottles and sponsor Tshirts for the group, it would be much appreciated.

If you are able to contribute in any way call Carmen Titus on 072 342 8287 or 028 313 2938.

SHOP IMMORTALISED ON CANVAS: Di Rattle (left), owner of the proudly­Hermanus gift shop Shuk, was delighted when local artist Peter Wooldridge presented her with this painting.

Featuring a montage of the different elements that epitomise Hermanus, such as fishing boats, whales, fynbos and fisher­ man’s cottages in town, Peter’s painting also depicts the pic­ turesque frontage of Di’s shop, Shuk, which is the Hebrew word for “market”. Shuk stocks a selection of carefully sourced items, most of which are handcrafted locally. Peter completed the painting just before the Whale Festival last year, and it was exhibited at the Walker Bay Art Gallery be­ fore he generously decided to donate the painting to Di. It now has pride of place in her shop and Di also plans to have the painting printed onto cards. PHOTO: HEDDA MITTNER

Bird identification course offers more The Flight for Birders bird identification and conservation course by Anton Odendal will be presented at the community hall at Mollergren Park on 21 and 22 February.

The content of the course was changed dramatically at the end of 2013, says Odendal. “In 2014 we will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the course and will now be celebrating our country’s birds with photographs by some of the top wildlife photographers in South Africa.

“Much stronger emphasis is also being placed on conservation issues, in line with the MOU signed between the Overberg division of CapeNature and BirdLife Overberg.”

A new addition to the course is a section focusing on the differences between the various families of LBJs and other confusing species, as well as birds of prey, and how this applies to the region where the course is being presented.

“In many cases images of similar and potentially confusing species have been combined on the same slide in order to illustrate differences,” says Odendal.

“The development of an infrastructure for birding tourists in local areas will also be highlighted. In the vast majority of the slides English and Afrikaans names of species are printed onto the slide. The course focuses on basic steps in the identification of birds, places heavy emphasis on where to find the rare and often endemic birds in southern Africa and illustrates how ordinary birdwatchers could become involved in the conservation of birds and their habitats.”

The cost of the course is R500 per person and includes the course manual, a certificate endorsed by BirdLife South Africa and a year’s free membership to BirdLife Overberg.

Parts of the proceeds of the courses will be donated to Black Harrier conservation.

To register for the course, contact Elaine at birding@overberg.co.za or 082 455 8402.

B­SEGMENT COMPACT CAR: LOW COST­OF­OWNERSHIP

Ford unveils Figo concept QUICKPIC

F

ord today revealed its vision for a global B-segment compact car featuring premium design and segment-redefining smart and safety features ahead of the 12th 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi.

With the global unveiling of the Ford Figo Concept, Ford aims to set new standards for quality and craftsmanship in the B-segment, aiming to exceed the expectations of consumers in emerging markets.

Created at less than four metres long, the concept displays a purposeful presence and a no-compromise aesthetic that continues Ford’s design leadership in the compact car market globally.

“With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions,” said Kumar Galhotra, vice president of Engineering, Global Product Development, Ford Motor Company. “The Figo Concept stands out and surprises, offering a more premium and refined feel than you would expect in such a package.”

The Ford Figo Concept builds on the automaker’s compact car offerings and shows how Ford plans to face rapidly growing global demand for compact vehicles. Despite its rapid growth, the compact car segment will remain highly competitive as increasingly savvy buyers look for ways to make their money go further.

“Consumers are more demanding than ever, wanting and expecting more from their cars, even if they are first-time buyers,” said Ford

India President Nigel Harris. “They expect and demand great fuel efficiency and low cost-of-ownership from the initial price throughout the life of the vehicle. The Ford Figo Concept offers all of this, and more, with sophistication, fresh design, world-class quality, a roomy interior, and innovative smart and safe technology.”

With the goal of bringing unexpected levels of refinement to the compact car segment, designers created the Ford Figo Concept using design elements common to more expensive vehicles.

The front trapezoidal grille strongly communicates Ford’s design DNA and shapes the vehicle’s hood, giving it a powerful look. Moving rearward, designers inclined the windshield as much as possible to give the vehicle a sleek, fast profile that communicates a high-end image. Bold, elongated and blackedout headlamps accentuate the Figo Concept’s sporty appearance. In an example of the close attention designers paid to the smallest detail, a slight grain in the headlamp plastic enhances the parabolic shape inside. Sweeping, curved lines moving from the front to the rear of the vehicle create a sense of movement.

Designers used light-catchers along the sides of the vehicle, giving the Figo Concept a robust and muscular presence.

“The Figo Concept represents our vision of a refined, no-compromise approach to designing a compact car,” said Ehab Kaoud, chief designer, Ford North America, who led design for the Ford Figo Concept. “So often in this segment you see designs based on current trends and fashions that quickly look dated. We wanted instead to create a premium,

With the goal of bringing unexpected levels of refinement to the compact car segment, designers created the Ford Figo Concept using design elements common to more expensive vehicles.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC long-lasting design that is clean and elegant, and which conveys a sense of precision, efficiency and sophistication.”

The shape of the Ford Figo Concept is more than a design exercise: It was fine-tuned through hundreds of hours of wind-tunnel testing to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise, ensuring a quiet ride that will match the vehicle’s refined exterior. Aerodynamic tweaking has also resulted in a shape that maximises fuel efficiency, helping the Ford Figo Concept to slip smoothly through the air.

Smart design features like electri-

cally adjustable power-fold mirrors are practical, helping to remove the stress of driving through a congested environment. The mirrors’ flexible architecture prevents them from being broken off if bumped by another car or motorbike. And Ford designed the Ford Figo Concept to feature unprecedented levels of safety for its class, further enhancing the driver’s peace of mind.

Moving inside a spacious cabin filled with innovative stowage spaces, the Ford Figo Concept delivers surprising features that bring the promise of tomorrow’s technologies to drivers of compact vehicles. With

an innovative device dock, the Figo Concept introduces a new way to store, mount and charge devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players and satellite navigation systems, seamlessly integrating them into the in-car entertainment system.

“In design, connectivity and safety, the features in the Figo Concept are at the forefront of smart technology,” said Galhotra.

“The Figo concept was created with global standards of design, quality and performance. It is the perfect symbol of how we continue to build on the One Ford plan to go further for all of our customers.”

Subaru unveils 2015 Legacy concept at LA Auto Show QUICKPIC The 2015 Legacy echoes design themes introduced by the Legacy Concept at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The production model combines sporty form and efficient function.

Key to the sleeker, coupe-like profile is a “nosecone” front section that combines the grille and bumper into one smooth piece. An aluminium bonnet reduces weight over the front wheels, enhancing steering response.

The 2015 Legacy maintains a footprint similar to the model it replaces.

The 2015 Legacy’s windscreen is more raked, pulled forward by 50 mm at the base.

The new windscreen angle, higher seating hip points, new front partition windows and doormounted side-view mirrors help improve visibility. A 10-percent improvement in aerody-

namic efficiency contributes to lower fuel consumption as well. All 2015 Legacy 2.5i trim levels debut a standard Active Grille Shutter system, which helps to improve fuel economy by reducing wind resistance when closed.

In the Legacy 3.6 R Limited, new standard HID low-beam headlights give the car a more distinctive night-time signature. The U-shape tail and brake lights on all models use LED bulbs for lower power consumption and a luxurious appearance. Limited trim-line models feature turn signal exterior mirrors, which are available as an option for the Premium.

Subaru significantly upgraded infotainment capability in the 2015 Legacy. A new 6.2 Infotainment System in the Legacy 2.5i model provides AM/FM stereo with RDS, a single-disc in-dash CD player, 6.2-inch multi-function touch screen display which integrates the rear view camera, Bluetooth® hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming, iPod® con-

In the Legacy 3.6R Limited, new standard HID low­beam headlights gives the car a more distinctive night time signature.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC trol capability, USB port and an aux input jack. The multi-touch display offers swipe and scrolling gestures – much like tablets and smartphones, The upgraded infotainment system in the 2.5i Premium adds a 6-speaker audio system with 7-inch touch screen display, SMS text messaging and dual USB ports.

Standard for the 2015 Legacy Limited models, a new high-end audio system combines a 576-Watt equivalent AM/FM radio unit with 12 harman/kardon speakers, including a front centre speaker and a rear subwoofer.

The amplifier and speakers use harman/ kardon Green Edge technology, which reduces system weight and power consumption.

The Navigation Infotainment System available for the Premium and Limited trim levels, in addition to the multi-function display, features an interactive voice command system that accepts natural language and phrases and also operates the dual-zone automatic climate control system. A more versatile centre console in the 2015 Legacy provides a storage area that can hold an iPad. A new covered storage bin at the front of the console incorporates a USB port, 3.5 mm

aux jack and a 12v power socket. Models with high-grade audio or navigation feature two USB ports, making it possible to listen to music and charge two connected devices.

Both 2015 Legacy models are equipped with a newly refined version of the Active Torque Split version of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively controls torque distribution in response to driving conditions and wheel slippage. The system can send additional torque to the rear wheels either pro-actively or in response to slippage at the front wheels. Taking input from acceleration, steering angle and yaw-rate sensors, Active Torque Split AWD optimises traction and steering response when accelerating through turns and curves, particularly when the road surface is slippery.

The 2015 Legacy 2.5i is powered by a doubleoverhead-cam FB series 2.5-litre Boxer® engine that debuted in 2013 and now receives numerous enhancements for lighter weight, improved efficiency and quieter operation.

Power is increased slightly to 131 kW. Peak torque remains at 236 Nm but is spread over a broader engine speed range for more responsive performance.

With the 2015 Legacy, Subaru continues to offer a 6-cylinder model in the midsize sedan segment. The 3.6-litre Boxer® engine produces 191 kW and 335 Nm of peak torque.

For 2015, all Legacy models now come standard with a Lineartronic™ CVT (continuously variable transmission), with the 6-cylinder model using a high-torque version. Changes made to reduce friction in the CVT contribute to higher fuel efficiency in the 2015 Legacy.

All models are equipped with Incline Start Assist and the electronic Hill Holder System that holds the vehicle in place until the driver applies the throttle.

RS is new Sonic halo model from Chevrolet QUIKCPIC

General Motors South Africa (GMSA) has kicked off 2014 with the launch of the all-new Chevrolet Sonic RS. The new Sonic RS joins the local Sonic model range as the new halo model, which sports turbocharged performance and uprated handling, along with a high level of specification and enhanced design elements for a uniquely exciting driving experience.

The turbocharged performance figures include a 0­100 km/h sprint time of 9,5 seconds and a top speed of 197 km/h. .......................................................... PHOTO: SEAGRAMPEARCE

“The RS moniker forms the first level of performance-oriented nomenclature in the Chevrolet product portfolio,” explains Chevrolet Brand Manager at GMSA, Tim Hendon.

“Originally applied to the Chevrolet Camaro RS (Rally Sport) in 1967, with this badge we are now providing a sportier, more athletic Sonic hatchback to performanceminded South Africans, the B-segment benefiting from a ‘hot Chevy’ for the first time.

The new Sonic RS exhibits performance-en-

hancing mechanical upgrades, superior levels of driving comfort and a high specification level which includes the all-new Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system – all presented in a sexy hatchback body and with driving enjoyment at the heart of it all.”

Turbo power and tuned performance Featuring GM’s global 1,4 F turbocharged Ecotec® petrol engine, the new Sonic RS makes use of 103 kW and 200 Nm – the front wheels receiving the power through a slick six-speed manual gearbox with close ratios for sporty performance. Audibly exciting as well, the tuned exhaust system allows the improved performance to be heard while still maintaining comfortable noise levels at all times.

The turbocharged performance figures include a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 9,5 seconds and a top speed of 197 km/h.

Balancing out the increase in excitement and sporty driving antics, the ECOTEC® engine also provides for improved fuel efficiency – the new Sonic RS consumes just 6,6 F per 100 km on the combined average cycle, with carbon emissions of 155 g/km to match.

Tuned suspension, which takes shape in the form of a MacPherson strut design up front and a multi-link setup at the rear, allows for improved handling especially under sportier conditions, the Sonic RS featuring a lower ride height with stiffer suspension and performance-tuned dampers to deliver a communicative and firm, yet comfortable ride.

The new Chevrolet Sonic RS can be easily identified by the distinct yet subtle design changes found on the exterior. A more aggressive front bumper features expressive and angular fog lights with chrome detailing. Gunmetal-painted 17-inch alloy wheels in a muscular five-spoke design are separated by chunky new side skirts and black painted door mirrors with integrated Led indicators and at the rear, the motorcycle-inspired tail lights are joined by a new roof spoiler, an accented rear diffuser with a striking trapezoidal exhaust tip and special Sonic RS badging.

The interior continues the sporty design theme with top-quality materials used to express the RS moniker. Red accents abound – the stitching on the leather-bound, flat-bottomed steering wheel, “RS” emblems on the seats and piping on the floor mats – embodying the zestier Sonic’s personality. An upgraded rev counter also features an RS badge.

The Chevrolet MyLink system is an integration of the most popular and advanced infotainment functions incorporated into an easyto-use, attractive and effective interface which transforms the Chevrolet Sonic RS into a connected entertainment hub while on the move.

Comprising a host of smart features, the MyLink system is moving Chevrolet vehicles quickly forward in the in-car technology stakes. MyLink is fitted as standard on the new Sonic RS and features as an optional extra on 2014 Sonic LS models, giving the Sonic range a competitive edge in the B-segment.

The MyLink concept is simple – an integration of the most popular and advanced infotainment functions incorporated into an easyto-use, attractive and effective interface.

MyLink incorporates a host of different media sources and formats, allowing the user to play or watch their favourite media in the car.

Bluetooth audio streaming with playlist customisation and full smartphone integration allows MyLink to stay connected and become an extension of the phone itself. Full phonebook and call list integration with a smart dialling feature makes calling easier than ever before. Video playback and picture gallery viewing while the vehicle is stationary adds another, class-leading touch.

The high-resolution 7-inch touch screen is perfectly integrated into the vehicle’s dashboard and features touch button controls for a thoroughly modern look and feel. Voice control on most smartphones and steering wheelmounted controls also mean the system can be operated in complete safety with both hands on the steering wheel.

Befitting of the new halo model in the Chevrolet Sonic range, the new Sonic RS features a high level of value-adding specifications in terms of safety, comfort and convenience.

Safety equipment includes disc brakes allround with ABS, EBD and BAS, ESC and Traction Control, a full-size spare wheel, ISOFIX child seat anchors and four airbags.

The new Sonic RS retails for R225 300 and is available as standard with a 5 year/120 000 km warranty and a three year/ 60 000 km service plan linked to service intervals of 15 000 km.

Voormalige Sprin­ bok­kaptein en huidige hoof van Sharks Rugby, John Smit, geniet sy visvang. Hy is veral mal daaroor om dit vanaf ’n SeaDoo­waterpo­ nie te doen.

FOTO: QUICKPIC

John Smit hengel op ponie QUICKPIC Dit lyk asof die Springbok-rugbylegende John Smit altyd kop eerste induik – in die voorry van die Springbok-skrum, as die nuwe grootbaas van die Haaie, en in die golwe op ’n nuwe SeaDoo. Die voormalige Springbok-haker waag sy hand deesdae aan ’n nuwe en vinnig groeiende sport, jetski-hengel, en gebruik ’n kragtige SeaDoo daarvoor.

“Hierdie soort hengel het baie gewild geword, en aangesien John dit so geniet, het ons besluit om hom van ’n SeaDoo te voorsien om die nuwe sport waarvoor hy so lief is, te beoefen,” sê Fred Fensham, hoofbestuurder by CMH Marine and Leisure.

“John het nes SeaDoo ’n groot gevolg, en ons wou ons steun aan hom as een van ons gunsteling-seuns op só ’n manier bewys,” sê Fensham, wie se maatskappy die volledige SeaDoo-watertuigreeks bemark.

John geniet dit om die waterponie rond te slinger wanneer hy in die golwe by Aliwal

Shoal, die Durbanse Skiboot-klub, of strande soos Umdloti gaan hengel of net vir die pret gaan ry.

“Ek het ná my heel eerste rit op ’n SeaDoo besef ek was op ’n baie ander soort masjien as dié waaraan ek die afgelope paar jaar gewoond geraak het. Sy krag, brandstofdoeltreffendheid en tegnologie is stukke beter as enigiets waarop ek al voorheen gery het,” sê hy.

Waterponie-hengel is nog ’n nuwigheid vir dié man wat deesdae die Groen en Goud as uitvoerende hoof van die Haaie dra. “Dit is vir iemand soos ek, wat nou eers begin leer het om van ’n waterponie af te hengel, belangrik om elke moontlike voordeel tot my beskikking te hê.” Hy voeg by dat hy vang en loslaat, maar elke dan en wan een vir die pan hou.

Die nuwe “speelding”, wat deur CMH Marine and Leisure voorsien word, en deur Hooked Up van Pinetown in stand gehou word, is die middelpunt van belangstelling waar John ook al gaan.

“Ek moet die ding by die huis in die garage wegsteek sodat my kinders my nie die hele dag pes om op die water te gaan baljaar nie!”

Knysna Motor show

Mercedes­Benz hopes its brand new V­Class will become a future icon among South Africans.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC

The new V­Class: This Mercedes sets new benchmarks among MPVs QUICKPIC As the youngest and largest member of the passenger-car family from Stuttgart, the V-Class Mercedes-Benz sets new benchmarks in its segment with its design and a host of innovations.

The new V-Class combines room for up to eight people and exemplary functionality

with the high-class appeal, comfort, efficient driving pleasure and safety that distinguish all vehicles bearing the threepointed star.

This makes the Mercedes among MPVs the perfect vehicle for everyone who appreciates great spaciousness but does not want to sacrifice style and comfort.

“The introduction of the V-Class is testament to our mandate to continuously in-

crease functionality, comfort and style across our range of vehicles. Its versatility and safety credentials will certainly ensure that this vehicle becomes a future icon amongst South Africans” says Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, Nicolette Lambrechts.

Pricing and confirmation of engine ranges to be confirmed closer to the local South African launch expected at the end of the second quarter of 2015.

The Knysna Motor Show is an annual event that has become well established on the local calendar in the last decade. Although the motor show is independently organised by the Garden Route Motor Club, in 2011 a joint decision was made to bring it into the Knysna Speed Festival fold to offer fans visiting the town an added motoring element, while also assisting the show attract a larger number of people through the gate. Over 230 classic cars participated in this event in 2013 and record funds were raised for charity. All profits generated by the event are donated to charity.

Owners of classic cars (ancient or modern) planning to visit Knysna are invited. Pre-registration is essential. Contact Peter Pretorius on the contact details below. You can leave your car in the care of the marshals and cross the road to the Waterfront to enjoy some Knysna oysters while the show is on. It takes place on theKnysnaHighSchoolsportsfieldsjustoffWaterfront Drive (opposite Caltex Garage) from 10:00 to 16:00 on Sunday 11 May. Food and refreshments are available.

There has been great interest from marque clubs far and wide to be a part of the motor show this year, including the MG Car Club which is holding its Indaba over the period, so expect to see some fantastic vehicles on display.
