SANDBAAI: RIOOL LOOP UIT IN ROTSPOELE; MUNISIPALITEIT MAAK PLANNE

Rioolwater besmet strand JANINE VAN DER RIET

’n Gedeelte van die kus- en strandgebied in Sandbaai waar riool vrylik see toe stroom is die afgelope paar dae afgesper op aanbeveling van omgewingsbeamptes. Sandbaai-inwoners en -besoekers sit met hul hande in hul hare omdat dié probleem al jare lank van tyd tot tyd kop uitsteek sonder dat ’n permanente oplossing gevind word. Chris Nieuwoudt, ondervoorsitter van die Sandbaai-belastingbetalersvereniging (SBV), sê hy is moedeloos. “Die pompe sal altyd een of ander tyd ’n probleem hê, maar die vernaamste oorsaak van die besoedeling is die feit dat die riool-uitlaat van die opgaartenk op die verkeerde

plek by die swemstrand uitmond. Dit moet geskuif word.” Die SBV het ’n lys van gebreke van die munisipale infrastruktuur van Sandbaai, wat volgens hom nie die nodige aandag geniet wat betref instandhouding nie. “Ten spyte van herhaaldelike klagtes, wat direk aan die wykskomitee, raadslid en munisipale amptenare deurgegee is oor die onbehandelde rioolwater wat van tyd tot tyd uit die pompstasie op die westelike eindpunt van Kusweg op die rotse gestort word en in poele bly staan, is die saak nog steeds nie sinvol aangespreek nie. Hierdie probleem word alreeds vir meer as twee jaar deurlopend aangemeld.” Die SBV versoek ook dat waarskuwingsborde opgerig word wat die publiek teen die besoedelde gebied

FOTO: CHRIS NIEUWOUDT waarsku. “Die gebied moet onveilig verklaar word vir ontspanningsgebruik en sodanige waarskuwings moet slegs verwyder word nadat die departement van gesondheid die nodige toetse gedoen het om te bepaal

dat bakterieë soos E-koli nie verder teenwoordig is nie,” sê Nieuwoudt. Volgens die SBV lê die probleem nie net by verouderde toerusting en onderhoud nie. Francois du Toit, komiteelid van SBV, sê ná ’n onlangse openbare vergadering blyk dit dat die raadslid van Wyk 7 net fokus op die pompe, wat deurentyd probleme sal gee. “Die probleem wat egter nooit aangespreek word nie, is dat die uitlaat van die opgaartenk verkeerd geplaas is en geskuif moet word. Die uitlaat is tydens dooie gety bokant die hoogwatermerk in die baai waar daar in elk geval min golf-aksie is en geen seestrome nie. Dit veroorsaak dat die riool nie deur die natuurlike golf-aksie en strome van die see opgebreek en weggevoer word nie.”

Tydens ’n besoek aan die pompstasie op Donderdag 6 Maart deur verskeie lede van die SBV, is weereens gevind dat die rotse en poele by die pompstasie ernstig met rou riool besmet is wat uit die pompstasie oorgeloop het. Nieuwoudt sê by hierdie geleentheid was daar munisipale amptenare besig met werk by die pompstasie. Die volgende dag, Vrydag 7 Maart, is daar egter teen ongeveer 13:00 ontdek dat riool steeds deur die pyp wat by die rotse uitmond, gestort word. David Botha, ’n ingenieur en komiteelid van SBV, het die munisipaliteit gebel om die dringendheid van die situasie onder hul aandag te bring en ook versoek dat die brandweer ingeroep word om die rotse en poele te kom skoon spuit en ontsmet.

Man sterf vlammedood EMMYGAIL VELDSMAN ’n Man van Hawston is Saterdag in die oggendure dood ná die houthuis waarin hy gewoon het, aan die brand geslaan het. Frans Arendolf (39), beter bekend as Sleepy, het in ’n houthuis agter sy suster, Stienie Mentoor, se huis gewoon. ’n Geskokte Mentoor vertel haar broer het in die oggendure by haar huis aangekom en kos gesoek. “Ek het hom kos gegee en hy is uit na sy houthuis waar hy agter op die werf gewoon het.” Vyf minute later het Mentoor haar kêrel, John Philander, hoor gil: “Stienie, die hok brand!” Mentoor het dadelik uitgehardloop, maar die vlamme het reeds die huis verswelg. Bure

en omstanders het die vlamme probeer blus tot die brandweer daar aangekom het, maar volgens Mentoor het dit niks gehelp nie. “Ek het sommer self probeer om die hok oop te breek en hom uit te haal, maar die vlamme was onbeheerbaar en woes.” Die brandweer en nooddienste het die vuur geblus, maar dit was reeds te laat vir Arendolf, wat op die toneel dood verklaar is. Die oorsaak van die brand is nog onbekend en word deur die owerheid ondersoek. ’n Geregtelike doodsondersoek is deur die Hermanus-polisie geopen. “Hierdie oggend sal vir ewig by my spook, veral die manier waarop hy ons verlaat het. Ons weet nie hoe dit kon gebeur het nie. Dit voel baie onwerklik,” sê Mentoor. Arendolf laat sy twee dogters, Camelitha (21) en Belinda (16), en sy seun, Franklin Cupido (18), agter.

Die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum het ’n versoek aan die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale kommissaris van polisie, lt.genl. Arno Lamoer, gerig om weer spesialiseenhede teen perlemoenstropery en smokkelary in die Wes-Kaap in te stel. Dié versoek volg na AfriForum se besoek verlede week aan gebiede in dié provinsie, insluitend Hermanus, wat deur stroping geteister word. “Perlemoenstropers word betaal met dwelms. Waar daar dwelms is, is daar misdaad en geweld,” het Ian Cameron, AfriForum se hoof van gemeenskapsveiligheid gesê. Daar was tot 2012 ’n taktiese reaksiemag van die SAPD wat in die area perlemoensmokkelary en stropery hokgeslaan het. “Maar in 2012 het lede toegeslaan op drie

stropers wat vermoedelik besig was om perlemoen te verwyder en een van die vermeende stropers, Steven Figaji, is dood nadat hy onder die water in die moeilikheid beland het.” Die honde-eenheid in Hawston is kort daarna in November 2012 afgebrand. Figaji se dood het geweld tussen die gemeenskap en polisie laat opvlam. Die hondeeenheid het steeds nie ’n nuwe perseel nie. “Hoewel sy dood ’n tragedie was, is die praktyk van stropery nie goed te praat nie. “AfriForum sal ook toenemend druk op die polisie toepas om in te gryp. Lamoer moet optree. Sterk leierskap is nodig om ons land se natuurskatte en sy inwoners te beveilig. Dit is ons grondwetlike reg,” het Cameron afgesluit.

Man stabbed to death in Zwelihle A 26-year-old man died after he was stabbed to death in his house in Zwelihle. Mawande Milela died in hospital on 8 March due to the stab wounds to his back.

The Hermanus Police arrested a 28-yearold suspect in connection with the incident. He appeared in the Hermanus Magistrate’s court on Monday.

Two wonderful highlights have emerged regarding the annual HMS Birkenhead commemoration held in Gansbaai in February every year.

VERVOLG VAN BL. 1:

‘Maatreëls in plek gestel’ om probleme te voorkom JANINE VAN DER RIET Botha se oproep na die munisipaliteit is ná ’n paar minute opgevolg toe die betrokke afdeling aangedui het die saak sal hulle dringende aandag geniet. Teen 17:00 Vrydag was daar wel drie voertuie van die Overstrand-munisipaliteit op die terrein, maar dit is nie duidelik of die probleem nou permanent opgelos is nie. Peter Burger, senior bestuurder: Operasioneel by die Overstrand-munisipaliteit, sê die raad het R2 miljoen vir die huidige finansiële jaar begroot vir die opgradering van bestaande rioolpompstasies juis om voorvalle van hierdie aard te minimaliseer. Tenders vir die opgradering het reeds gesluit en word eersdaags toegeken. “Die betrokke rioolpompstasie bedien die hele Sandbaai en pomp riool van daar na die rioolsuiweringswerke. Die pompstasie is ongeveer 15 jaar oud en beskik oor ’n dienspomp, sowel as ’n bystandpomp,” verduidelik Burger. ’n Opsomming van voorvalle waaraan die munisipaliteit aandag gegee het, sluit onder meer die volgende in: ) Op 26 Februarie het die pompstasie oorgeloop as gevolg van ’n foutiewe pomp. Die pomp is verwyder vir herstelwerk en op 6 Maart is die herstelde pomp weer geïnstalleer. Die bystandpomp is in die tussentyd gebruik. ) Op Maandag 3 Maart het die pompstasie weer oorgeloop, maar dié keer as gevolg van ’n

elektriese fout wat wel dieselfde dag herstel is. ) Op Woensdag 5 Maart het die pompstasie weer oorgeloop as gevolg van ’n foutiewe tydskakelaar wat ook dadelik daardie middag herstel is. ) Op Vrydag 7 Maart het die pompstasie weer oorgeloop nadat ’n elektriese skakelaar gebrand het. Die skakelaar is vervang en die pompstasie is dieselfde dag weer in werking gestel. Volgens Burger funksioneer die pompstasie sedertdien na wense. “Die onmiddellike omgewing by die pompstasie (gedeelte van die kus) is afgekamp op aanbeveling van die omgewingsbeampte. “Die meerderheid van die insidente is veroorsaak deur elektroniese probleme wat op die elektriese skakeltuig ondervind word. Dit is ook baie moeilik om hierdie tipe foute vroegtydig op te spoor. Die feit dat hierdie pompstasie teenaan die see geleë is, veroorsaak baie meer as net normale verwering wat onderhoud bemoeilik.” Volgens Burger is maatreëls in plek gestel wat bepaal dat pompstasies daagliks geïnspekteer gaan word en dat rioolpompstasies deurlopend deur middel van ’n telemetriestelsel gemonitor word. Bystandpersoneel sal ook uitgeroep word as dit nodig blyk te wees. ’n Diensverskaffer is aangestel om herstelwerk van pompstasies te bespoedig en geskeduleerde onderhoud gaan elke vier maande voorkomend by alle riool-pompstasies gedoen word.

4 Hermanus Times Businesses prepare for more Eskom load shedding

Nuus News

13 March, 2014

CILENE BEKKER

tion.

There have been warnings that the country is in for more load shedding, but to give the go ahead without prior warning, as was the case last Thursday afternoon, caught everyone unawares.

Daar was ’n paar ongelukkige kliën te. Ons moes ’n paar onnodige oproepe maak en bestellings herskeduleer. Ons het ’n kragopwekker teen R3 500 aan geskaf en geïnstalleer.

Reeling in shock at the suddenness, many businesses had to close shop, let staff go, and make plans for future load sheds. Most responses from businesses and residents were ‘give us warning and we can work around it!’ South Africa’s power supply remains constrained, Eskom CEO Brian Dames said on Tuesday. “We are not out of the woods yet, the system remains tight and vulnerable to any changes as we go into winter. The persistent rainfall had resulted in wet coal that made it impossible to power the stations. The supply issues will be a problem for the next few months unless we have aggressive supply interventions of at least 3000 MW,” he said. Business Chamber members responded as follows when asked how they were affected, and what plans they’ve made: ) Alex van Niekerk from Primwood Products

The problem for us, if load shedding happens more often, is that our ma chines take up to 4 hours to heat up. So every time it is off for 2,5 hours, we lose at least six hours of production. We work 24 hours a day because we cannot switch on and off. Stage 3 load shedding will close us down. We use 3 phase electricity and require about 100 amps, so a generator is not an op

Ons kon geen van ons toerusting ge bruik nie. Ons probeer voorsiening maak vir kragonderbrekings deur te sorg dat ons gesnyde vleis in voorraad het elke dag, maar dit is ongelukkig ook moeilik, want die vleis kan net vir een dag in bakke wees anders verkleur dit. Ons het nou ’n elektroniese skaal aan gekoop wat met ’n battery werk.

Jan Gildenhuys van Ro3 Oasis

) Hermanus Recycling

Ons het een span van 17 mense wat 100% afhanklik is van krag om hul werk te doen. Ek kon hulle elders aanwend, maar hul produksie is negatief beïn vloed en dit affekteer hul produksiebo nusse. By my hoofaanleg het my baal masjien (die hoofslagaar van my pro duksie) gestaan. Ons het nie direkte verliese gely nie, maar baie indirekte verliese as gevolg van agterstallige werk wat ingehaal moes word, selfs na ure. Aangesien meeste van my toerusting op 3 fase krag loop is dit onbekostig baar vir my grootte onderneming om ’n kragopwekker aan te skaf.

) Stoffel en Charl Frick van Hermanus Gas

Ons besigheid was erg geraak, aan gesien die publiek onmiddellik begin in stroom het om al hul huishoudelike, Ca dactipe gassilinders te vul vir kook en ligvoorsiening. Ons vulpomp werk met elektrisiteit en ons kon nie die eerste klomp kliënte help nie, totdat ons ’n kragopwekker teen R150 vir die res van die halfdag, onge veer twee ure, gehuur het. Ons tref nou voorsorg en het ’n krag opwekker vir bykans R7 000 aange koop. Dit bly egter ’n onvoorsiene uitga we en klein besighede het nie altyd ge redelik sulke fondse beskikbaar om te spandeer vir ’n “wat as situasie’’ nie. Daar was ’n geweldige toename in die verkope van gassilinders, kookplate asook lampe deur die publiek, waarvan die gemiddelde koste vir ’n enkele huis houding ongeveer R575 beloop. Daar was ook ’n toename in die ver kope van kragopwekkers, aangesien ons van die laastes in Kaapstad in die hande kon kry. In Sondag se Rapport is groot invoer ders en verspreiders van Gauteng aan gehaal wat heeltemal uit voorraad ge raak het oor die paniekgedrewe aanko pe van kragopwekkers. Die bedrywighede volgens Rapport het tot 400% op ’n handelaar se webwerf op geskiet, met ’n 750% toename in telefo niese navrae teenoor die normale ver

Ons het UPS’e vir ons rekenaarstelsel aangeskaf vir toekomstige kragonder brekings. ) Kees van de Coolwijk from Foto First

The load shedding caused some in convenience. We lost about R1 000 in turnover, but made up again the next day so we did not suffer unduly. Should there be more shedding it would help if we had warning beforehand. ) Pam from The Hat People –

Possible loss due to auto bank tellers being closed, next to our business. Many tourists were caught unaware. We are prepared for load sheds at home, but there is little we can do in our place of business.

koopsdae. ’n Ander handelaar is aan gehaal wat tot 650 kwotasies gedoen het per dag teenoor die normale 60 tot 70 per dag. Die meeste van hierdie han delaars is uit voorraad en verkoop al voorraad wat nog in transito is en nog nie in hul pakhuise is nie. ) FNB, Hermanus

We are fortunate to have a generator. It would however be interesting to deter mine the cost of diesel compared to elec tricity. ) Eastcliff Spar

Produksie van die winkel het tot stil stand gekom en daar was geen vars brode om te verkoop nie. Ons voorbe reidings vir beurtkrag is dat ons perso neel in die produksieafdelings vroeër inkom om produksie klaar te maak voor enige kragonderbreking. ) Johan de Villers & Vennote Argitekte

Ons het ’n kragopwekker in plek. Ons het nie finansiële verliese gely nie, maar moes langer ure werk om die werk klaar

te maak.

) Johan Nel, OPN Ouditeure

Ek het in 2009 ’n batterystel van 6 en “inverter” van R40 000 laat instal leer vir sodanige onderbrekings. Dit kan ons so ses uur aan die gang hou en ons telefone is operasioneel. Ek het ’n klein kampgasstofie om bietjie water te kook vir koffie en tee. ) Estelle, Fusion Café

We cannot operate in our kitchen without an extractor fan. We are pre paring for more load sheds in future. We bought a new generator, search protector plugs, search protector units on the DB board and worked out a spe cial menu for Eskom load shedding. ) Julia Barnard, Hermanus Laundry

We had to act quickly to wrap the hot rollers with old wet cloths to cool them down. The washing machines automati cally drain water after a sudden shut down. But what a waste of water and money. I let the staff go, and came back in later that night to redo all the loads.

Seminar to shed light on load shedding Whale Coast Conservation (WCC) is presenting a seminar at the Whale Coast Hotel (above Checkers) on Thursday 3 April from 17:30 to 18:30. This seminar is geared towards helping business owners, managers and homeowners decide what sort of installation will meet their particular needs and what costs would be involved. Once a decision is made, based on your particular needs and

budget, WCC can put you in touch with relevant suppliers. The Green House in Vermont – home to WCC – is entirely offgrid. They are sustainable energy savvy and can offer useful advice. Using a combination of photovoltaic solar panels and wind turbines, sufficient electricity is generated to run a busy office. Cost of the seminar is R100 pp. To book, email wcc@ocf.org.za or call 028 316 2527.

Local wins International Women’s Day award

Inwoners uiteindelik volwaardige huiseienaars

Leán Terblanche recently won KLM South Africa’s Women who Inspire Change competition for International Women’s Day celebrated on 8 March. Leán is the managing director of the Grootbos Foundation outside Gansbaai and many know her for her work leading youth development programmes for the Football Foundation of South Africa. Erika Mueller nominated Leán with the following entry: “Leán Terblanche is in a league of her own. With a deep understanding of South Africa’s rich and diverse culture, as well as the various factors that play a role in community cohesion, Leán has demonstrated her ability to design, implement and manage community development projects successfully.” Over 1 000 young people benefit on a weekly basis from skills-based training, educational programmes and sport activities that address various social issues – all orchestrated by Leán.

Menige inwoner van Hawston se hart was oorstelp van vreugde toe hulle verneem dat hulle nou volwaardige huiseienaars is. Altesaam 100 geregistreerde titelaktes is Vrydag 7 Maart deur burgemeester Nicolette BothaGuthrie, bygestaan deur raadslid Rudolph Smith, aan inwoners van Hawston oorhandig. ’n Verdere 127 titelaktes word in die loop van die komende week deur die administrasie oorhandig. Die meeste inwoners woon reeds ongeveer vyf jaar in die huise in Hawston, maar ná die oorhandigings is dié huise nou hul eiendom. Die burgemeester het veral die belangrikheid van ’n titelakte beklemtoon. Sy het begunstigdes aangemoedig om verantwoordelik daarmee op te tree en dus ook eienaarskap van hierdie verantwoordelikheid te neem. Volgens Frankie Frans, bestuurder: behuisingsadmini-

Leán Ter blanche (left) together with two of the fe male crew members on board the KLM Airlines flight. She won a three-day trip for two to Amsterdam and flew back home on International Women’s Day, 8 March, with an all-female KLM crew. Among the places she visited was the Van Gogh Museum, Volendam and Edam. Leán also went on a walking tour with Holland Stopovers. “With the focus on International Women’s Day we walked through the Begijnhof, an area

where women live who dedicate a large part of their lives to helping the poor. And the visit to the Anne Frank Museum left me speechless.” On her prize Leáne said: “Through this I would like to encourage all the amazing women out there who inspire change in our communities on a daily basis. Your work is invaluable now and for generations to come.”

De Mond residents given more time to vacate JANINE VAN DER RIET The three residents still living in the once popular De Mond Caravan Park in Voëlklip reached a settlement agreement with the Overstrand Municipality in court on 28 February. The residents each received additional time to vacate the property, but the times of the individual extensions were not made public. According to Lionel Wallace, acting senior manager in the municipality’s legal services department, the contents of the settlement agreement, ruled by the Western Cape High Court, are confidential in respect to the respondents in the case.

Once the three residents vacate the property, the municipality intends to develop the site as a public resort in accordance with the restrictive condition contained in the original Crown Grant of 1942, which states that the land may not be sold and may only be used for resort recreational purposes. The park is now empty after the more than 200 members of the De Mond Caravan Park Association (DMCPA) were forced to leave the premises more than a year ago – with the exception of five individuals. Now Elizabeth Theron (81), Keith Hampshire (63) and Hanna Auret (66) are the only ones left of the five residents who were ex-

empt from the eviction order handed down by the Western Cape High Court on 10 December 2012. Theron, Hampshire and Auret were served with yet another eviction order in October 2013 and the matter was on the unopposed High Court Roll of 28 February. This came after the Overstrand Municipality, who owns the land on which the park is situated, decided not to renew their lease with the DMCPA, which expired on 29 February 2012.

Several members sold these structures, along with furniture and other belongings, at an auction in February 2013 to recoup some of the costs, but most of them were dissatisfied with the bids achieved, which they considered to be only a fraction of the real value. Others took what they could remove themselves and simply left the rest behind. The camp, which is now deserted, is still strewn with rubble and dilapidated structures.

A woman’s journey through the world of aviation At the age of 84, long-time Hermanus resident Yvonne van den Dool, has written her first book, an autobiography aptly called From Kitchen to Cockpit. Yvonne was a pioneer in the aviation world and as a woman pilot in what was a male dominated industry, she faced seemingly insurmountable challenges. On the cover of her book is a photograph of Yvonne taken the day before she turned 21 in 1951, which appeared on the front page of The Argus after she won numerous trophies at the Youngsfield All Women’s Air Rally. From these early days, Yvonne rose through the aviation ranks to became the first woman in South Africa to hold a senior commercial pilot’s licence. But getting a job in SA that matched her qualifications, proved difficult. Yvonne says there was no history of women’s aviation in SA, and as the last survivor of the small group of women who were part

of the groundbreaking force who took to the skies post World War 11, it fell to her to tell the tale. It took her ten years to complete the story. She says: “I knew it had to be done and I just put down my thoughts.” She says that in the early 1950s “Women had no right to be anything. We were regarded as spinsters or old maids if we were not married by 21.” Yvonne married at the age of 22 and after 12 years her marriage ended. Yvonne, who served in the South African Air Force’s women’s squadron in 1976, the latter part of her career, has highlighted the achievements of women aviators around the world who, between the 1950s and 1980s, did not let convention dictate their future.

Volgens Etsebeth mag daar nie vragskepe so naby die kus verby beweeg nie en mag hulle nie nader as 20 seemyl van die kus af kom nie. Die vragskip heet Ecopride G.O. Etsebeth sê die skip het na bewering toestem ming gevra om by Valsbaai anker te gooi, maar toestemming is glo geweier.

Hermanus SLAVE MINISERIES FILMS IN OLD HARBOUR: If you noticed the army of trucks parked at Gearing’s Point and Market Square on Monday, it had to do with the filming of a Canadian miniseries The Book of Negroes. The series depicts the life journey of Aminata Diallo, who was abducted as an 11yearold child from her village in West Africa and forced to walk for months to the coast in a coffle – a string of slaves. She was sent to live as a slave in South Carolina and later forged her way to freedom, serving the British in the Revolutionary War and registering her name in the historic Book of Negroes. The miniseries stars Louis Gossett Jr, Cuba Gooding Jr, Ben Chaplin and Aunjanue Ellis. Scenes were shot at the Old Harbour on Monday but filming has since moved on to other locations in the Western Cape, and will continue in Nova Scotia after the South Africa stint. According to Elisabeth du Toit, manager of the Old Harbour Museum, they do get paid a “fair amount” from companies who use the Old Harbour as a film set. PHOTO: CILENE BEKKER

Buried post “debacle” not an isolated incident What an absolute debacle concerning the post that has been found buried and dumped in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. I have had post missing for some time. I should have received a book voucher as a gift from a friend enclosed in a card, but it never arrived. My friend and I both went to our respective post offices, and were told we should have had a tracking number. I have had municipal accounts not arrive, plus magazines, and now I wonder what other items I should have received. I was also told there was a strike in Cape Town which held up the delivery of post. In August last year I sent a book as a gift to a friend in the Eastern Transvaal; it arrived three months later. I have phoned the Post Office and mentioned all these facts to the staff behind the counter, and no reasonable answer has been given. All in all, a most inefficient service throughout the country.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Rioolprobleme steek orals kop uit Die probleem met rioolwater wat in die see en estuariums inloop, is besig om meer en meer in die Overstrand kop uit te steek. Eers was daar klagtes oor ’n rioolstorting in Onrus en ook in die Klein rivier naby Stanford. Nou is Sandbaaiers woedend oor die rioolwater wat op die vlak rotse en in poele by die swemstrand lê. Die Overstrandmunisipaliteit sê die raad het R2 miljoen vir die huidige fi nansiële jaar begroot vir die opgrade ring van bestaande rioolpompstasies juis om voorvalle van hierdie aard te mi nimaliseer. Dit is verblydende nuus dat die pomp stasies nou dringende aandag gaan ge niet. Lede van die Sandbaaibelastingbe talersvereniging wys egter daarop dat die pompe elke dag kan breek, maar dit is nie die enigste probleem nie. Die oorvloeipyp wat tans op die rotse uit loop, moet geskuif word sodat seewater oor die rioolwater kan spoel en dit weg voer van die kus na die diepsee toe. Nog klagtes is intussen ontvang van besoekers by Uilkraalsmond. Daar is die riool ook duidelik sigbaar (en ruikbaar) waar die kinders in die water baljaar. ’n Bordjie met ’n waarskuwing dat die water besoedel is, is meters verder eers te sien. Die area moet liefs afgesper word totdat die probleem opgelos is, word gevra.

Good Samaritans, thank you for help with mom On Monday 3 March, my mother, Shirley Coetzee, collapsed in Woolworths. I would very much like to thank the following people: • The management and staff of Woolworths, who took care of her until the ambulance arrived, and rang me to inform me. They also arranged for a driver to drive her vehicle home. • The Good Samaritans who took care of her and her belongings, and had the foresight to find her doctor’s number on her cell phone, who gave them my number. (We have now added an ICE number on her cell – in case of emergency.) • The ambulance paramedics who were so efficient, friendly and caring, explaining to her all their procedures and trying to “keep” her with them. • Professional nurse Irene du Plessis in Casualty Mediclinic Hermanus, who took over with supreme efficiency, calmness and good humour to reassure and care for my mother. This was a potentially disastrous event, which was swiftly, efficiently and kindly dealt with by all involved. We would like to offer our heartfelt thanks and utter gratitude.

Support development in Hermanus Yes! We all would like to live in Hermanus as it was 30–40 years ago. Unfortunately this is not possible because forces beyond our control are impacting on our town. They are the following: 1. Migration – people are moving to Hermanus to get away from the city life or to retire, and people from other parts of Africa to seek a better life. 2. Urbanisation – people coming from the rural areas to the cities and the big towns, seeing it as an opportunity to get permanent employment and a better life. 3. Normal population growth. 4. Tourism. The above force us to take careful note and to plan ahead to avoid a situation which could very quickly develop into an unmanageble situation. There are a number of organisations and other entities whose specific responsibility it is to deal with such a situation. First of all the local authority, which has the specific responsibility to provide services and create a friendly environment to allow the private sector to flourish. It is not the responsibility of the local government to create economic growth as some people may think. The business sector is responsible for creating the necessary economic growth by encouraging outside investors to invest in Hermanus. They also need to encourage and help lo-

cals to develop new businesses. This also applies to tourism. For all this to happen, money is needed by the local authority through the various taxes. Money for development and business creation is the responsibility of the private sector. Local business, through the Business Chamber and other organisations, need to work very closely together with the local authority in order that the necessary planning can be done well in advance. We need development if we are going to have a successful town which is able to provide adequately for all its inhabitants. Permanent jobs can only be created by the expansion of business and not by the local authority. Temporary employment, for instance public works programmes and community work programmes do not create permanent jobs – and when referring to job creation we are specifically talking about permanent employment. If a new project is launched and it entails construction such as the Retail Africa project, obviously that would lead to shortterm jobs during the construction period. Once the project is completed, permanent jobs would become available. A final plea, please support the Retail Africa project. New business opportunities are desperately needed.

Parents do not need permission to homeschool In the Hermanus Times of 6 March the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) published a notice on homeschooling. It included a claim that parents must get permission before they can start homeschooling, and that the curriculum to be followed must be in line with the national curriculum. Because many parents were shocked by this notice the Cape Home Educators (CHE) would like to reply. According to the Constitution, the child’s interests are of paramount importance in matters concerning children. A requirement that parents must get permission before they start homeschooling has nothing to do with the interests of the child but only with burocratic convenience, and is therefore unconstitutional. For example, if parents decide in January that homeschooling is in the interest of their child because of bullying at school, this requirement would mean the child must be bullied for the rest of the year, so that the parents can request permission before 30 Sep-

tember to homeschool the following year. There is no law that justifies the requirement that homeschoolers should follow the national curriculum (NC). Judge Cynthia Pretorius commented on 25 March 2011 in the Pretoria High Court that the NC is not binding for independent schools and homeschooling parents. It’s therefore illegal to require that homeschoolers must follow the NC. Many of the requirements of the WCED concerning registering for homeschooling are illegal. Therefore law-abiding parents are not willing to agree to illegal requirements, and that is why more than 95% of parents do not register their children for homeschooling. Homeschooling parents are advised to get legal advice before they agree unknowingly to illegal requirements when they register. Parents who are interested can contact the legal defence fund for home education.

Quick thinking prevents fire damage On behalf of the teachers and children of the Hermanus Waldorf School in Sandbaai we would like to thank and praise the prompt actions of Shelton Goliath who, when driving past our school last Saturday afternoon noticed smoke rising from the bushes next to our school. He called the Overstrand Fire and Rescue Services who, in turn, arrived at our school within minutes and were able to extinguish the fire before it took over and destroyed our grounds and buildings. Their hard and dangerous work is much appreciated. At the same time our deepest sympathy to those families who lost their loved ones and homes in the recent fire in Zwelihle.

Japie, ons in Voëlklip salueer jou (pos)diens Die berig in verlede week se Hermanus Times oor die strooi van posstukke in Hermanus is ontstellende nuus en ek vertrou dat daar spoedig teen die skuldige partye opgetree sal word. Wanneer dit egter by die betroubare aflewering van posstukke in die Voëlklip-omgewing kom, moet daar ’n lansie gebreek word vir hierdie gebied se posbesteller, Japie. Daar moet ver gesoek word om ’n persoon te kry wat met soveel entoesiasme, toewyding, vriendelikheid en sigbare genot sy taak verrig. Hy lewer daagliks pos in ons gebied af op sy rooi fiets teen die spoed van lig. En wanneer jy hom op sy fiets gewaar is die breë glimlag aansteeklik en sy wuiwende arm ’n toonbeeld van pure plesier. Ons salueer jou Japie, en verseker jou van ons grootste waardering vir jou uitsonderlike diens.

SANDBAAI MALL ) Die beoogde Sandbaaiwinkelsentrum kan ’n groot bate wees vir Hermanus. Bou die sentrum en kry klaar. Tyd kos geld. ) I agree 100% with Rosana Birch: “Grateful to live in Hermanus, as it is”, letter 6 March. I could not have said it better. Brilliantly written. – CHER ) Hoekom is ek nie verbaas dat die brief in Hermanus Times,“A Realist”, oor die Mall ’n winkel eienaar is nie? Afslag van 50% hierdie tyd van die jaar is normaal om plek te maak vir die winter voorraad. Jy kan nie ’n klein dorpie met Hermanus vergelyk nie. – LOL ) Ek sê nee vir die mall en stem saam met Rosana, dis lekker om in Hermanus te bly soos hy is. Mense wat hier bly en nie tevrede is nie, trek dan na ’n ander plek waar die een mall op die ander is. Dis mos waarvoor ons hier bly – in ’n lekker platte landse dorpie. Dié wat nie tevrede is nie moet maar gaan. – ESTER VERKEERSLIGTE ) Help my asseblief reg. Indien die verkeerslig by Mount Pleasant se voetoorgang rooi is en daar nie meer voetgangers is wat oor die pad loop nie, mag ek dan ry of moet ek wag dat die verkeerslig eers groen is? Baie voertuie ry oor. Mag ek ook ry? – THYS, VERMONT SIDEWALKS ) The beautiful new road from Swartdam to Sand baai is a disgrace. The street and all the storm drains are littered with bottles and rubbish and very few bins anywhere. The open ground next to the swimming pool looks like the new dumping ground. The lovely parking area, which must have cost a fortune next to the swimming pool, never has one car parked there. Why not turn it into ten nis or netball courts instead, and give the kids a few more places to play? – DD, ONRUS ) Die lang gras en onkruid langs die pad van He melenAarde Estate af tot by Gateway wek glad nie ’n netjiese indruk van die dorp se strate nie.

Ek weet nie wie veronderstel is om dit netjies te hou nie. VERLORE POSSTUKKE ) Op 4 Maart kry ek ’n posstuk wat van Herma nusposkantoor af na Onrusposkantoor op 2013.10.17 gepos is. Vier maande en 14 dae later. – SONJA THERON BEHUISING ) Zwelihle kry nuwe huise en swembaddens. Wat van die armblanke mense? Hulle soek ook huise, en die dorp sal ook swembaddens waardeer. – TRUDIE, SANDBAAI ) Hulle maak gou ’n plan vir Zwelihle vir huise, maar hoe lank moet Mount Pleasant nog wag? Ek bly al my hele lewe lank in Mount Pleasant, maar ander plekke se mense kry huise. – GATVOL, MOUNT PLEASANT GENERAL ) I have lived here for over 50 years, worked and paid taxes all my life, and cannot vote, but every murderer and rapist can. ) I have been surfing at Hawston for more than 25 years and sadly someone broke into my bakkie whilst there on Monday. A chain saw, two small grinders, a jigsaw, cordless screwdriver, camera and few important books were stolen. Anyone with any info, please call John at 072 677 3178. There is a reward. – JOHN ) If I could ask Oscar Pistorius one question, it would be: “What would your mother be thinking in heaven as she knows the truth, and so do you.” Reeva knows, too. ) Hi, Hermanus Times, I’m from Durban. I come to Hermanus every year because it’s so beautiful. I find great hospitality and the people are friendly. I’m so welcomed and I will come back every year. I stay with my best friends, Dav and Charls Smith. Keep up the good newspaper. – GREG NICHOLSON ) Annette Marais, jou ma in Nelspruit stuur vir jou groete en baie liefde. – MARIE KORF ) Savannah Café doesn’t charge corkage to lo cals. Free uncapped wifi is also available. Well done and thank you. – JO ) The animals Toffee and Cindy who were in the Hermanus Times last week looking for homes were both adopted by a lady in McGregor. She will con tinue Toffee’s diet and chatted to Bergview Clinic about that. – JUDY

The bigger the malls, the more business for the CBD Business players in Hermanus concentrated so much on their previous objections to Checkers and Woolworths and did not stop and think about the positives of the malls. During winter people love malls especially women in the Cape Peninsula, or for that matter all over the world, while men are watching sport. Hermanus is being left behind the rest of the world when it comes to shopping. With malls, a holiday home which stands empty during the winter months will be more frequently occupied if people had something to do during winter. Day visitors from the outlying areas will also want to enjoy these facilities. Without the malls, much needed spin off will be lost in the CBD especially restaurants. Players and partners, you know that your objections to the size of the mall is not going to be financially viable for the investors to

build and at the end of all this everyone is going to be losers. Mr Chairman of HRA, it is questionable why you objected to the mall if you had no mandate from the Hermanus Ratepayers or from the Sandbaai Ratepayers. Business games don’t go down well when they stand in the way of progress – we should move on. The mall should be built to its full potential as this will attract more people to Hermanus and more spin off will filter through to the CBD. Comments made by Mr Realist in the HT, the towns you talk about that failed had no tourists, sea, whales, fynbos etc. These towns failed because they were hit by a tsunami of people out of Africa and certainly not by a wave of malls.

BURNETT HERMANUS RATEPAYER

Do something to wake up Hemanus’s rude drivers! Since the traffic circles were installed, Hermanus has benefited from a modern system of traffic control that should allow vehicles to move efficiently and with minimal delays. Oh, that it were so! I’m sure many readers, like myself, get endlessly frustrated by drivers who never use their indicators at the circles. Are they all crippled, or is it too much effort to show a little respect for waiting drivers by flicking their indicator switches? They use them, after all, when approaching a T-junction, or when turning into a side road. What, I ask, is the difference when approaching the circle at the bottom of, say, Lord Roberts Road? There are usually people waiting on the Main Road to use the circle, who could proceed if only they knew what the other road users’ intentions are, but no, they don’t signal and it makes my blood boil.

It is just rude and uncooperative ( and probably against the law). Shortly after the new system was commissioned, I actually approached the Traffic Department with an earnest request that they please place traffic officers at the circles and apprehend those drivers who do not use their indicators. They advised that they did not wish to enforce rules by penalising drivers – instead they would prefer to embark on an educational programme. Many months have passed and, sadly, nothing has been done. How simple it would be to just publish a series of articles in this newspaper, advising users how to get the most out of traffic circles. Alternately, they could erect signs at the circles advising drivers to use their indicators. I appeal to them once again to please do something to wake up our useless drivers!

It will be sunshine and roses in the Overstrand this weekend. The Indian high pressure system will bring warm air to chase away the chill that had locals reaching for their jerseys this morning (on Thursday). Only about 2 mm rain is expected on Tuesday next week.

Die Overstrand se beskermengel werk oortyd Omtrent al die weermonitors van hier tot in die noorde van die aardbol wys roeringe in die bolug wat nie goed lyk nie, maar hier in die Overstrand is dit al of die beskermengel oortyd werk. Die aanduiding is dat ons minstens tot die naweek sonskyn en rose beleef. Selfs die middernagtelike verskynsel in die Suid-Kaap; dat die wind rondom middernag stormsterkte hoog bo ons koppe haal, is sedert Maandag ’n bedeesde 50 km/h. Maar die vraagtekens op die grafiek is net soos ’n weglê hoender. Mens kan nie regtig jou vinger daarop lê nie. En die Overstrand is nie heeltemal deel van die land se weerpatroon nie. Die afgelope dae was die wind pal suid en suidoos en boonop op ’n bedeesde 10 km/h wat in die middel van die nag vir ’n uur of so opskiet na die vyftigs. Al die dinge wat ons op die skerm sien is inderdaad faktore wat aan Hermanus sy goeie naam hier en in die buiteland gee as gewilde aftreeoord. Al wat kan skeef loop is die oostewind wat van die Oos-Kaap af kom om Overstranders tot elfuur vanoggend (Donderdag) na hul truie te laat gryp. Daar is gelukkig geen wolke nie en teen huistoe gaan tyd is dit ’n skaflike 20° C. Dan sien ons ná sonsak waaroor ons hier bo praat, die gereelde aand-knorrigheid van die wind. Die suidoos staan op en bring (mens kan

dit amper nie glo nie) warm lug van Marion se kant af in om voor middernag 22° te haal. Wat die wisseling tussen die warm en koue lug en die oos- en suidoostewind vir ons wys is dat die Indiese hoogdruk wat so kort voor die volle herfs inkom, sy eie self word en warm lug begin sirkuleer. Dit verduidelik die verskil in die water temperature aan die wes- en die ookus. Dis waarom Durban se water so lekker vir die migrerende haaie en vakansiegangers in die winter is en die weskus net ’n plek vir kouewater galjoenvisse word. Selfs die snoek begin om suide toe te migreer agter die vlugtende kleinvis aan. Oor nog reën wat vir ons dorpsdam nodig is om leibeurte af te weer, hoef mens tans nie bekommerd te wees nie. Die westewind neem Dinsdag by die suidoos oor en draai deur die dag selfs tot noordwes om elke moontlike bietjie water, wat met lugstrome van Antarktika af kom, uit te druk vir 2 mm reën.

The long talked about possibility of establishing an oncology unit in Hermanus has once again gained momentum. Municipal property in Westcliff has been earmarked for this proposed development on a rectangle of open land bordered by De Goede and Albertyn Streets on one side, and Church and Flower Streets on the other. Erf 11154, which is a portion of erf 11102, has been sold to Annenprop9 (Pty) Ltd for R5 million. The Overstrand Municipality published a notice in the Hermanus Times last week to inform the public that council intends to transfer this property. Objections to the transfer have to be lodged by 7 April. According to Anja Kotzé, manager of property administration at the municipality, council has approved the sale of the property

in principle as required by policy. Regarding the process that needs to be followed, Kotzé says: “The municipality, through the council, can only give final approval for the transfer of the property to the successful bidder after a public participation process was followed. “As the advertisement for comments was advertised on 6 March, with a closing date of 7 April, the final approval will most probably be served before council in May 2014. After council’s final approval, we can proceed with the necessary registration of the transfer.” CareWell Solutions is involved in the project to develop the oncology unit. On their website it says: “The Carewell Hermanus medical centre will include a day-hospital, sub-acute hospital and oncology unit. The facility will service the larger Overberg area and is set to open in 2015.”

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Poskantoor het bevestig dat die persoon wat verantwoordelik is vir posstukke wat onlangs in die Hermanus-omgewing in oop terreine gestort is, ontslaan is en nou verder deur die SAPD vervolg word vir die oortreding op die Poswet (artikel 68). Dit kom nadat daar op posstukke afgekom is wat op ’n erf in Mount Pleasant asook langs die Hemel-en-Aarde Vallei-pad gestort is. Volgens Martie Gilchrist, kommunikasie-

beampte van die Suid-Afrikaanse Poskantoor, word die verantwoordelike persoon nou deur die polisie vervolg. “Vir diegene wat dalk wonder hoekom hul pos nie by hulle uitkom nie, kan ek die versekering gee dat al die pos wat gevind is, weer afgelewer word,” sê Gilchrist. ) The SA Postal Services confirmed the person responsible for the dumped post has been relieved of his post and will be prosecuted in terms of the Postal Law (article 68). All the dumped post will be delivered.

ANC ‘trespasses’ JANINE VAN DER RIET

Court in session at Paradise Park KERRY VAN RENSBURG

Hermanus Police responded to a trespassing complaint at Paradise Park on Saturday when the park’s residents were visited by a delegation of ANC Western Cape leaders. Efforts by the landowner Ray Schonegevel to have the ANC delegation, led by ANC Western Cape leader Marius Fransman removed from the premises, were in vain as the ANC called on the IEC to ensure access to these voters. After gaining access, Fransman said they visited the caravan park “where a number of poor people are trapped in poverty”. According to Fransman, of the 300 dwellings, 112 are occupied by elderly people. “Of these elderly people, 66 depend solely on government grants and/or pensions.” Marius Fransman, Western Cape ANC leader “The last category are in dire (second from left in the back), with Paradise straits as they have their grants dec- Park residents Lana van Dyk (left), Rose Audi imated by a R1 000 lease and R250 Jonker (2nd from right), Priscilla Sherriff electricity per month, leaving them (right), Helen Booysen (middle) and Carina Pa with no or little money for food and penfus (ANC delegate) in front. necessities,” said Fransman on PHOTO: DAYNE NEL /WHALE COAST FM Tuesday. “The ANC says these people cannot be Park for between ten and 30 years. They treated like slaves or farmworkers. Some must get title deeds to those plots of land,” residents have been living in Paradise he said.

The Rental Housing Tribunal set up their court room in the Paradise Park community hall on Monday 3 and Tuesday 4 March. This action follows on the heels of a deposition that was submitted by Bram van der Harst on behalf of the Paradise Park Home Owners Association (PPHOA) to the Rental Housing Tribunal in July 2013 after the owners of the resort made it clear that they intended to increase the rent for their permanent residents by a minimum of 45%. A number of grievances, which includes the cost of electricity as well as inadequate infrastructure and services, were also included in the complainant’s deposition. In November 2013 mediators from the tribunal met with the PPHOA committee, members and Dolf Olivier and Helen Potgieter, family members who represented Raymond Schonegevel, the

Prokureurs

owner of Paradise Park, at the resort. An attempt was made to resolve the dispute, but this did not happen. During the two days court was in session at Paradise Park last week, the defendant and his lawyer presented their case and substantiated their position. Bram van der Harst, chairperson of the PPHOA, says the court case has been postponed until 14 and 15 April, and this is when they, the complainant, will be able to present their case. Van der Harst says they have a “big shot” lawyer – Nazir Chafeker – to represent the PPHOA. Their legal advisor, Carina Papenfus recommended him, and he comes courtesy of the ANC. Van der Harst says before the court case got underway, the PPHOA held a special general meeting on 1 March. He says they had 80% consensus regarding three items on the agenda: Papenfus was opted onto the PPHOA committee; they were given a mandate to in-

stall Eskom pre-paid meters in their homes; in the event of the tribunal being unable to reach a settlement or ruling that is acceptable to the PPHOA, a rental boycott will commence. Van der Harst explains that the objective of the tribunal is to have a win win situation. “If this can’t be reached, then we will boycott.” Van der Harst, who was a homeowner at Paradise Park, has since sold his house and is no longer living there. “Before I left I changed the PPHOA constitution. It now says the chairperson does not have to be a homeowner at Paradise Park.” This also applies to opted members like Papenfus, who is not a homeowner at the resort either. Van der Harst says he wants to see the process with the Rental Housing Tribunal through. The Rental Housing Tribunal is governed by the Department of Justice and its rulings are legally binding.

Attorneys

Difference between attorneys, advocates soon to be historical For many decades attorneys have been requested to provide 24 hour pro bono (that is, free of charge) services to the deserving and indigent public. Many attorneys selflessly do this year in and out in various recognised pro bono structures. The pro bono service requirements are, since November 2013, mandatory, after the last AGM of the Law Society of the Cape amended the rule relating to pro bono services. We simply need more Commissioners of the Small Claims Court as the demand for this excellent service rises. Attorneys who do not yet fulfil the pro bono requirements must contact the Law Society to find out where they can serve their pro bono duties. Certain senior attorneys are exempted. Attorney, advocates, prosecutors, magistrates and judges all are lawyers! The difference will soon be historical as the Legal Practice Bill is imminent and will after a “sunset

period”, abolish the distinction. This has already happened in former colonies of the British common law “family”, such as New Zealand, Nigeria, Kenya and our neighbour Namibia. The USA is the best known example of a single legal professional: the lawyer. Contrary to popular misconceptions, attorneys are not “lesser” lawyers than advocates. Any person with an LLB degree can become either an advocate or attorney (or public prosecutor or magistrate). There is no difference in the academic training of these lawyers but in the subsequent professional training. An attorney is subject to two years of comprehensive examinations and courses. Advocates get a six month “pupilage” under men-

Attorneys, on simple application, can also appear in the High courts right up to the Constitutional court, and as with prosecutors and magistrates, are also appointed judges.

L2L ladies gear up for 2014 walk KERRY VAN RENSBURG A total of 65 ladies will be participating in the ninth Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse charity walk this year. The four-day walk begins on Thursday 20 March and ends on Sunday 23 March. The ladies gathered at the United Church last Wednesday for their final meeting. The sponsors of the various items, which were handed out to the 2014 team, and representatives of the beneficiaries, also attended the meeting. The ladies walking for the first time received their big, blue, branded travel bags sponsored, for the fifth year, by Hermanus Toyota. The L2L T-shirts were sponsored by Cashkows and the nifty neon green buffs by Edge Fitness in Eastcliff. Each lady received a goody bag stuffed full of travel essentials sponsored by various companies, as well as personalised wooden walking sticks courtesy of Hermanus Waldorf School, the L2L 2014 Charity of Choice. Sheila Lyle, the L2L chairperson, introduced the committee and team leaders, followed by a power point presentation of the four day walk and the programme for each day.

Day one begins at the Agulhas Lighthouse at 08:00 and ends 16 km later at Brandfontein. A bus will transport the ladies to their campsite at Die Dam. On day two the ladies walk 18 km from Brandfontein back to their camp at Die Dam. On day three the ladies walk from Die Dam to Pearly Beach – a distance of 27 km. Along the way they pass through Quoin Point, which has an automatic lighthouse that was erected in 1956, and the area that has been designated as a possible nuclear power station site. On the fourth and final day the ladies walk 26 km from Pearly Beach to Danger Point Lighthouse. From there they travel by bus to Die Plaat and walk the last stretch to Grotto beach were they are expected to arrive between 16:30 and 17:00. A welcome party for the ladies will be held at Dutchies. Sheila says the L2L ladies will eat very well at camp as Lauren Rapp, one of the trainers at Warwick’s Chef School, and two assistants, have volunteered to take care of all the catering. Woolworths has donated a large amount of food for this purpose. Sheila says all the administration is also done voluntarily which means that 99,9% of all funds raised go directly to their Charity of Choice.

Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse sponsors and committee members gathered outside the United Church after a final meeting last Wednesday. The group included (back from left) Lourens Smith (Hermanus Toyota sales consultant Toyota has sponsored the L2L bags for the past 5 years), Les Clark (L2L committee), Hester Van Zyl (Toyota representative and L2L committee member), Lindi Prinsloo (L2L committee and team Leader), Hettie Roux (L2L committee mem ber responsible for the Snoepie (shebeen) at Die Dam where the participants overnight), JeanPierre Klack (Edge Gym – sponsored colourful buff (neck attire), Ronelle Van Zyl (L2L committe and team leader) and Di Parker (L2L committee).

Pret en plesier volop by karnaval JAN-HENDRIK COETZER

bleempies wat opgeduik het, maar niks wat nie hanteer kon word nie. Eerstens is dit Donderdag onder my aandag gebring dat Eskom beplan om Vrydag die krag tussen 14:00 17:00 af te sit, waarna ek inderhaas gereël het om groot genoeg kragopwekkers van die Kaap in te kry sodat die pretparke ten minste in daardie tyd operasioneel kon wees. Maar dit het toe nie gebeur nie, en ons kon asemhaal. “Vrydagaand was kunstenaars besig om hul ding op die verhoog te doen, toe kom die klankmanne en sê daar is ’n reënbui op pad en hulle moet die klanktoerusting oppak. Toe reël ons vinnig om die skool se luidsprekers in die kuiertent op te stel. Die klank was nou nie van dieselfde gehalte nie, maar niks sou my keer om ’n plan te maak om mense so lank moontlik hier te hou nie. Die meeste het tot laat gebly en al die kos was uitverkoop. Elke ouer wat gehelp het, kan baie trots wees,” sê van Niekerk. Johan Koegelenberg, voorsitter van die beheerraad, sê die karnaval

is ongelooflik belangrik vir die skool. “Die subsidie wat ons van die Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdepartement ontvang, sowel as die skoolfondse, dek slegs die lopende kostes en nie kapitaal-projekte soos rekenaars en die opgradering en bou van nuwe klaskamers nie. Die OOV bestaan uit ’n handjievol ouers wat hierdie fondsinsameling dryf en met hulle aan die stuur, tesame met die res van die ouers se hulp, is dit wonderlik om te sien hoe hierdie legkaart jaarliks gebou word.” Laerskool Hermanus se skoolhoof, Barry Cilliers, sê die ouers het weer bewys dat hulle deur harde werk daadwerklik ’n verskil kan maak. Die skool het onder meer al tien klaskamers en ’n skoolsaal aangebou en vier skoolbusse met karnaval-fondsinsamelings gefinansier, asook verskeie verbeterings aan bestaande infrastruktuur. “Verder beplan die skool om fasiliteite ter waarde van R1 miljoen vir 2014 te bou waaroor meer inligting later bekend gemaak sal word,” sê Cilliers.

Micaela en Jordan Wessels saam met hul tannie Adelaide Sauls het soos vele ander families heerlik uit gespan op die sportveld.

Nie ’n reënbui of selfs Eskom se beplande beurtkrag kon Vrydag, 7 Maart, die Laerskool Hermanus Karnaval se feestelikhede in die wiele ry nie. Die karnaval, wat sy 16de jaar beleef, se opwindende pretparke het ure se pret en vermaak aan kinders besorg, terwyl ouers deur die verskeidenheid stalletjies kon rondsnuffel en terselfdertyd ’n heerlike steak, kerrie-en-rys, perlemoenpotjie of lams-wrap in die kuiertent kon geniet. Die karnaval se tema was hierdie jaar Wild Wild West en kinders en ouers het in alle kleure en geure as indiane, cowboys en selfs kroegmeisies aangetrek, waarna hulle vanaf die Ou Hawe aan die optog deelgeneem het. Volgens Leatitia van Niekerk, organiseerder van die karnaval en lid van die OOV, was dit soos vorige jare weer eens ’n groot sukses. “Daar was wel ’n paar onvoorsiene pro-

Krieket-pretdag by Old Boys Die tweede Old Boys Krieketdag is Saterdag by die Old Boys-gronde gehou, en tesame met die manswedstryd is ’n dameswedstryd ook gereël. Die rooi span genoem Savannah, onder die leisels van Maretjie Haman, het die jong groen span, Brutal Fruit, met Adelle Gerber aan die spits, aangevat, so tussen die reënbuie deur, en gewen met 20 lopies. Lauren Usher is benoem as die speler van die wedstryd. Die manne se wedstryd is ietwat vertraag

weens die reën. Om 13:35 het die manne besluit om die reën te trotseer en ná ’n paar koeldranke en Swartland Hanepoot het die Castle-span se kaptein die Black Label se span gevra om eerste te kolf. Met die wedstryd wat gebaseer is op aksiekrieket-reëls, het die wedstryd wipplank gery tot die einde toe en die Castle-span het met die laaste bal die wenlopies aangeteken en met twee lopies gewen. Andries Gotze is as speler van wedstryd aangewys. - RAYMOND HENN

Die Savannah span (in rooi) saam met die Brutalspan (in groen) het teen mekaar gespeel. Die Black Label span het met net twee lopies ver loor.

Nuwe restaurant open in B’Baai Jean da Cruz en die Jackson-egpaar, Dominic en Roxy, het hul nuwe restaurant, Plate Bistro, verlede Donderdagaand met ’n klein geselligheid op Bettysbaai geopen. Hulle hoop dat dit ’n bymekaarkomplek vir inwoners sal wees en juis daarom word dit ná die vakansieseisoen geopen. Die spyskaart word tot ses geregte beperk, wat daagliks aangedui word op ’n swartbord en bekostigbaar is om inwoners se sak te pas. Hulle het ook ander opwindende planne, soos om ’n gereelde aandmark vir plaaslike kuns en produkte te organiseer. Die eetplek sal hoofsaaklik in die dag oop wees, maar op Vrydae- en Saterdae ook in die aande. Plate Bistro is nie gelisensieer nie en geen kurkgelde sal gehef word op kliënte se eie wyn nie.

Die Castlespan het die Black La belspan gewen.

Kleinmond (11 March) Golf can be a repetitive game – follow your pre-shot routine; concentrate on a few swing thoughts; let your muscle memory do its job; pick the ball out of the sloot and drop for a penalty stroke.

So just for a change: The Star of David twinkled in second place, Coldplay Martin was a cool joint 8th, and Mr Hacker failed to live up to his name. ) 39 Andre Franken; 37 Dave Rade; 36 Doug Ross, Ian Newman, Brendan Byrne, Fred Garrett; 35 David Naylor; 34 John Horobin, Chris Martin, Bob Barton; 33 Jon Forsyth, Peter Theron, Dave Smith, Tony Hackett; 32 Tony Jones, Alan Calder, John Tunstall; 30 Malcolm Lazenby; 29 Sam Seal; 28 Peter Sulley, Mike Graham; 26 Gordon Wilson; 23 Peter Thomas; 17 Dave Robinson.

Computers / Rekenaars Technology trends and the impact on privacy JURIE STEENKAMP With the release of the latest Apple operating system for mobile devices; iOS 7.1, on 10 March, it’s interesting to note the difference in advances between traditional desktop systems and mobile devices. Where updates for traditional desktop operating systems, like Microsoft Windows were historically released at an average of three year intervals, software developers for mobile devices are launching new releases within much shorter intervals; mostly twelve months or less.

Although recent software changes were prompted by the need for enhanced performance and user experience, some of the software improvements we’re seeing can be quite amusing. On the release page of the latest iOS version, Apple announces; “Now Siri knows when to stop listening”. Further explaining that this software update now allows users to manually control when Siri (Apple’s voice activated personal assistant) listens for commands, by holding down the Home button. Maybe it’s just me that finds this funny, but perhaps a more useful button would have been one that will allow us to control when the NSA (or any one of our own, or other governments’ agencies) should stop listening to our conversations and spying on our movements. Although it’s no longer a secret that governments are actively collecting data from phone calls, video feeds and other user activity, we don’t seem to fully understand the extent to which this is happening. A recent report indicated that US and British surveillance (read “spy”) agencies intercepted and stored webcam images from millions of users. It is stated that in one six-month period in 2008 alone, web-cam imagery, which included substantial quantities of sexually explicit communications, were collected from more than 1,8 million Yahoo user accounts globally. We’re seeing a surge of new technologies being implemented in the devices we carry around with us almost permanently, nowadays. The latest mobile devices are equipped with GPS’s, front- and back cameras that can

capture high quality, low light images, finger print scanners and a fast-growing list of other biometric sensors. With the help of built-in hardware in some phones, Samsung’s S-Health application can track our calorie intake, step counting characteristics, heart rates, etc. While this should of course be utilised for the user’s benefit, I can just see the health

insurance companies salivate. I truly believe that technology should improve our lives, but while we’re anxiously waiting for devices like Google Glass, smart watches, connected cars and even on-line fridges, let’s just stay mindful of the physical and virtual fingerprints that we’re leaving behind and how this might be used if it fell into the wrong hands.

Maxitec welcomes new faces Maxitec recently welcomed a new partner and three new faces to its growing team of technology specialists. The former head of Support, Carl-Heinz Conradie, who joined the company in 2007 became a junior partner and shareholder a few months ago. Carl is currently completing the final year of his BSc Computer Science degree through Unisa and will head up Operations and continue to ensure the level of professional standards that customers have come to know. The new faces are Marnus Aucamp, Clifford Steyn and Alma Fourie. Marnus, who moved to Hermanus after working for a Wireless Internet Service Provider (ISP) on the West Coast for several years, brings valued network experience and is no stranger to Wi-Fi deployment and installations. Clifford and Alma both finished matric last year and share an interest in phones and mobile devices. While Clifford's technical knowledge and overall geekiness is very impressive, Alma's organisational and administration skills are invaluable at reception. The creative side of the business are headed by a qualified and capable Web Department that takes care of all aspects related to the design, development, copywriting and administration of websites and social media environments. Justin LeafWright joined Maxitec in 2006 and is the Senior Web Developer and in-house expert when it comes to Content Management Systems (CMS) and custom website development. Godfrey Gillion also joined Maxitec in 2006 and has developed and maintained

many of the local websites. He has also been responsible for the administration of a few high level portals. Jessica Pote, a qualified photographer, brings valued design- and copywriting skills to complete the packages. She has a background with Social Media management and Administers our Hermanus and Overberg Portals : www.hermanus.co.za & www.overberg.co.za. One of Maxitec's key objectives has always been to build long-lasting relationships with our clients by providing exceptional services and support. To ensure this, the two new members, Clifford and Marnus are currently undergoing in-house training and will soon join John-Hunter Kennedy and Riekert Janse van Vuuren, who has been in our ranks since 2007 in the Support Department. This team of professional technicians will look after new and existing customer services, which include general internet and email support, wireless and ADSL installations, maintenance and call out support. In short, with oversight from Carl-Heinz Conradie, they will ensure that all services are active and customers stay connected. Lorraine Fourie, who is well-known and loved by many customers, has been with the company for more than eight years. She'll continue to oversee general- and account administration. The original founding partners and senior Management Team of Ron Holloway and Jurie Steenekamp, will continue their active involvement in the company and wishes to express their gratitude towards the loyal customers who continued to support them over the past 17 years.

Flippie Bezuidenhout, senior administratiewe beampte, het gesê die nuwe skemaregulasies het begin vanjaar in werking getree en die doel daarvan is om verdigting van bestaande woongebiede aan te moedig. Op vrae van Dave Muirhead (Pringlebaaibelastingbetalersvereniging) en Izak Smit (Rooiels-belastingbetalersvereniging) het Bezuidenhout gesê die tyd is ryp om weer versoeke in te dien vir gebiedspesifieke belegvelle tot die skemaregulasies. André Lucas, wetstoepassingsinspekteur vir Hangklip-Kleinmond, het gesê daar is opnuut gekyk na die dienstye van amptenare oor naweke en ook die versekering gegee dat alle strande besoek sal word om veral na wetstoepassing rakende honde te kyk.

Hy het voorts gewys op onderhandelinge wat tans gevoer word om die eiendom waarop die pikkewynkolonie op Stony Point gevestig is, aan CapeNature oor te dra. ’n Memorandum van ooreenkoms sal na verwagting teen die einde van die maand in plek wees en na beginselgoedkeuring deur die Raad gegee is, sal die publiek geleentheid gegun word om kommentaar te lewer voor finale goedkeuring.

LAND ROVER: PLANET’S ULTIMATE ALLPURPOSE VEHICLE

Fresh design for 2014 Discovery QUICKPIC The 2014 Model Year Land Rover Discovery is now in South African showrooms, ready to excite those of an adventurous disposition with the most significant round of changes to the planet’s ultimate all-purpose vehicle since its introduction. The 2014 Land Rover Discovery receives a new look, new badging, an all-new petrol engine, improved audio systems and a new range of driver assistance, comfort and safety features to further broaden its appeal. “Land Rover has always been aware of the importance of delivering performance with sustainability, and every new design and each round of improvements aim to meet this challenge,” says Kevin Flynn, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa. “The introduction of the supercharged V6, which supersedes the V8, is proof of this and it is a more fuel-efficient combination especially when mated to our 8-speed automatic transmission. As one of the world’s most stylish, capable and versatile SUVs, the Dis- The covery remains the perfect vehicle for people who enjoy living an active lifestyle to the full.” For 2014, the Land Rover Discovery has been given a new ‘face’ and numerous detail exterior changes. The grille, front bumper and headlamps are all new while new daytime running lights with a distinctive LED signature and a more premium execution to the fog-lamp surround further enhance the Discovery’s appearance. There are three types of headlights, vehicle grade-dependent. XS and S models use bi-halogen bulbs with a single Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) while the SE gets Xenon headlamps with Signature DRLs and flagship HSE models get the Adaptive Xenon version. To complement the design changes seen at the front of the vehicle, the rear light units receive a black mask for an especially clean look.

much of its content being userdriven. For example, in Angola it maps nearly 20 000 roads and tracks, and details more than 2 500 points of interest. For the urban environment, the mapping software of choice is Nokia HERE, which gives comprehensive coverage of over 100 cities in sub-Sahara Africa. The new range of driver assistance, comfort and safety features for the 2014 Discovery include: Wade Sensing (a technology unique to Land Rover), Blind Spot Monitoring, Closing Vehicle Sensing, Reverse Traffic Detection and T-junction Cameras – which give drivers a 180 degree-plus view at an intersection via the centrally-positioned TFT (thinfilm transistor) screen. Wade Sensing will be offered as an optional extra exclusively on the top-flight HSE grade, enabling drivers to use the TFT screen to monitor proximity to the maximum wading depth of 700 mm. The system is activated when water hits the bottom of the lowest Parking Aid sensor, projecting a graphic of the vehicle in profile onto the screen, with a real-time indication of the water level relative to the maximum wading depth, with warning chimes that sound as this figure approachoval Land Rover logo is now in a richer shade of green, enhancing its prominence.

Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTEC: the best goodies HANJO STIER Most successful people and businesses will tell you that it’s harder to stay at the top than it is getting there. That’s exactly what I tried to determine when a new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, this dark grey metallic S350 BlueTEC, wafted into my life for a week. Is the best still the best? Having already made friends with the SClass’ conservative and understated new looks in my launch report, what followed was hours of fiddling with abundant buttons and settings, scouring countless menus and toying with numerous interfaces to see what the chaps from Stuttgart armed their new car

with. The S350 (190 kW/700 Nm 3-litre turbo-diesel V6) with BlueTEC fluid is the baby of the range at R1 214 000 and while its standard equipment list is extremely impressive, this press demonstrator was also fitted with an AMG kit, additional driver aids, luxury seats, lighting and rear entertainment systems. Forgive me if I don’t mention all the fitted features, for it would take a month of Sundays. Some noteworthy features and options include active cornering and massage seats, ionised and perfumed climate control, all-LED lighting, advanced adaptive cruise control and two-stage air suspension. I was a bit disappointed to discover that Magic Body Control, the system which scans

the road ahead and adjusts the suspension accordingly, is not standard on every model. And while the air ride in our S350 was very good, those tasty low-profile AMG wheels produced quite a bit of noise and a few low-speed jolts. My advice: ignore the AMG option and use the R57 500 towards Magic Body Control with the S-Class’ regular 18 or 19-inch wheels. If you want hard damping and fast cornering, buy a REAL S-Class AMG. The level of quality and opulence in this car deserves a smooth and silky ride. Our test car’s porcelain white with black interior dropped so many jaws that I eventually fitted it with another camera to record the reactions. These came courtesy of the seven interior lighting colours, twin TFT front monitors, power climate seats, 360° cameras and rear screens; among many others. Before I fall into the same trap as most of my passengers and focus on too many goodies, I’ll quickly tell you what it feels like to drive an S-Class. Obviously it has keyless entry and ignition so you can just stroll up to any door and touch the handle to open it. Gently stroke it to reverse the process. Should your hands be full of golf bags or boutique shopping, just wave your foot under the rear bumper to pop the boot lid, then simply press a button to have it close itself automatically. You can also go into the vehicle settings menu and adjust how high the boot lid… blast it, I’ve just done it again! Apologies. The S350 drives SO smoothly that, for the first time in my career, a fuel attendant corrected me when I told him to fill it up with petrol. The start/stop function produces a small Diesel shake and the 7-speed au-

to reacts a bit harshly to kick-downs – but only for S-Class standards, you understand. Our average fuel consumption from the 78 F tank hovered between 7 and 10F/100km depending on driving styles and routes but I can’t see how an S-Class owner would be worried about consumption or range, especially with the highly-efficient V6 Hybrid and bi-turbo V8 available. I’d have one of those. If someone insisted on giving me an S350 BlueTEC though, I wouldn’t be upset at all. Cornering, steering and brake feedback are surprisingly fine for such a hefty car and the only real-world trouble can be its enormous size when driving or parking in confined spaces. At least it has park assistants to help you. An S-Class doesn’t belong in the village square or the airport’s multi-storey, it prefers VIP parking and the motorway’s outside lane. Every journey in our S350, no matter the road or time of day, was a relaxing, quiet experience. Anyone in the back whose head landed in the fluffy pillow would either start giggling or snoring. Depending on specified options, the multimedia system has multiple USB and input slots, a hard drive, Bluetooth, voice control, a six DVD changer, 3D navigation with live traffic capability, twin-view main screen and exquisite sound with extra boom from the FrontBass low frequency response system. I don’t want to get tangled in specs again so all you need to know is this: the MercedesBenz S-Class has advanced even further and while it has some very competent advisories, you wouldn’t be blamed for calling it the best. Minus AMG kit plus magic carpet ride and a petrol engine, I certainly think it is. Galimoto Media

Subaru Outback diesel wins towcar of the year QUICKPIC The Subaru Outback 2.0D Lineartronic™ has won the 2014 TowCAR of the Year competition, in association with CAR and Leisure Wheels magazines, Campworld and Forever Resorts.

The test day also included a 15 km road section, with inclines and declines, topped off with some fast and slow stretches, and bumpy and smooth sections. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

The competition, which saw 12 automatic 4x4 vehicles tested with 1,4-ton Jurgens Penta caravans at the Boekenhoutkloof Traffic College, seeks to find the SUV which performs best in a host of towing-related categories which are evaluated in control-

led conditions. The Outback Diesel CVT, which features the world’s only Boxer® turbocharged diesel engine, Subaru’s famed Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive™ and Lineartronic™ CVT automatic transmission, overcame the odds after its on-paper specifications seemed to be disadvantaged against larger and more powerful automatic 4x4 SUVs. The Outback Diesel CVT took the honours a full eight points ahead of its nearest competitor. The Traffic College’s massive skidpan, where the tow vehicles’ traction and stability systems could be tested to the limits and beyond, as well as an enclosed test track, proved to be an ideal and safe base where the vehicles could be put through all the paces. The test day also included a 15 km road section, with inclines and declines, topped off with some fast and slow stretches, and bumpy and smooth sections. Eight judges decided the outcome of the towing test. The panel included professional vehicle dynamics testers, top advanced-driving instructors who specialise in towing, award-winning motoring journalists and a professional racing legend who is also a keen caravanner. The judges had to score each SUV in 10 categories. These included exterior, interior, handling, stability, engine, transmission, braking, parking, cruising ability and value for money. All the SUVs were driven over exactly the same route, in exactly the same conditions, performing exactly the same tests along the way. Says Jakes Jacobs, one of the judges and a legend of vehicle testing and racing in South Africa: “We judged these vehicles only as tow vehicles, towing a caravan designed for tar roads.” The judges cited a number of the Outback’s facets which impressed them most, including excellent handling and stability, as well as the collaboration between the two-litre turbocharged Boxer® diesel engine (110 kW and 350 Nm) and the Lineartronic™ transmission, with its simulated gearing. “The engine had almost 40 kW of power less on tap than some of the other SUVs, but thanks to the brilliant transmission, with its simulated gears and paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, the available power was always immediately accessible,” explains Jacobs. “Some of the other SUVs had almost 500 Nm of torque to play with, but thanks to less effective auto transmissions and drivetrains, much of the torque was lost in translation, so to speak. “Combine that with the Outback’s excellent handling and confidence-inspiring ride, as well as the roomy interior, and you end up with a very good, practical and safe towing package.” Subaru Southern Africa marketing manager, Ashley Lazarus, says: “This accolade is incredibly important, both to the Subaru brand and our Outback range. “Having recently shifted our focus towards lifestyle vehicles, winning a towing accolade like this reinforces our vehicles’ suitability to lifestyle applications.”

Nissan Navara still SA’s most powerful QUICKPIC The Nissan Navara continues to top the power and torque charts in the South African bakkie market, standing its ground against fierce competition from newer rivals in recent years. Proving that Navara was way ahead of its time when it was originally introduced in 2005, its range of petrol and diesel-powered bakkies still offer the best performance. Product Marketing Manager at Nissan South Africa, Marinus Venter, comments: “The Nissan Navara was launched as a new-age bakkie with class-leading technology and refinement and today it continues to lead from the front in several aspects of design, engineering, style, purpose and technology. The fact that it is still proving a popular choice in 2014 shows just how innovative and engaging the Navara continues to be. It is a great embodiment of our ‘Innovation that Excites’ ethos. “This excitement is provided courtesy of the pickup’s petrol and diesel V6 engines in particular, ensuring Navara continues to be the bakkie to beat in South Africa.” The smooth and meaty 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine fitted to the Nissan Navara LE includes advanced design features like Electronic Throttle Control with secondary mapping in 4LO mode (in the 4x4 model), Continuous Valve Timing Control (C-VTC), Nissan Variable Induction Control System (NICS), a silent timing chain, micro-finished camshaft and crankshaft surfaces, molybdenumcoated pistons, a resin intake mani-

fold, a digital knock control system, high-capacity muffler and a lightweight aluminium block. Nissan produces more than one million V6 engines each year making it the largest manufacturer of V6 engines in the world. The VQ series found in Navara has been ranked among the ten best engines in the world for the last fourteen years, and is related to the earth-shattering twin-turbocharged V6 engine which powers the famous Nissan GT-R. Developed to deliver high levels of performance with outstanding fuel efficiency, competitive emissions and class-leading refinement, the 3.0-litre turbocharged common rail diesel motor fitted to the range-topping Navara 3.0 dCi 4x4 LE astounds with its 170 kW and class-leading 550 Nm – making the Navara the only one-ton pickup vehicle in South Africa to feature a diesel V6 engine. The torque is available from as low as 1 700 rpm and pulls consistently all the way to 2 500 rpm, 500 Nm of which is available from as low as 1 500 rpm. Idle speed is low at 650 rpm, with the usual NVH connotations associated with diesel engines non-existent. The results are strong low-end performance with comfortably refined power delivery and exceptional throttle response. Flipping over the coin, the strong diesel performance bestows the Nissan Navara 3.0 dCi 4x4 LE with a towing capacity of 3 000 kg. Key to its smoothness and responsiveness, a vee-angle of 65 degrees and construction from Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) ensures the benefits of a cast iron block – including high levels of stiffness and noise absorption – are maintained,

Nissan produces more than one million V6 engines each year making it the largest manufacturer of V6 engines in the world. PHOTO: QUICKPIC but without the weight penalty. Although CGI is heavier than pure alloy construction, stiffening ribs and extra sound-deadening material are no longer necessary, contributing to a comparatively modest weight gain. The class-leading torque and highly competitive specific power outputs are delivered thanks to the adoption of a comparatively large single turbocharger which is mounted within the vee of the engine, an intercooler, and the use of latest-generation Bosch common-rail fuel injection which incorporates piezo injectors operating at 1 800 bar. This combination of engine refinement, high-end packaging, excellent specifications and a “go-anywhere,

do-anything” attitude to life is what carries the Nissan Navara forward

– still South Africa’s most powerful bakkie.

Hawston klop Ceres, maar ai, die foute . . . In ’n minder aantreklike wedstryd as laas naweek kon Hawston se A-span darem steeds hul eweknie van Ceres troef. Hawston het goed meegeding in die lynstane en het sodoende die meeste balbesit geniet, maar kon egter nie regtig die wedstryd domineer nie. Verskeie lynbreke kon nie afgerond word nie en het dus heelwat punte gekos. In die eerste helfte het Heinrich Robertson daarin geslaag om ’n drie te druk en Roland Swarts het verdoel. Ceres het heelwat strafskoppe gekry, maar gelukkig vir Hawston kon hulle nie almal deur die pale sit nie. Die rustydtel-

ling was 7-5 in Hawston se guns. Die tweede helfte het ietwat beter begin vir Hawston wat weereens balbesit oorheers het, maar gesukkel het om te kapitaliseer en heelwat foute begaan het. Cameron Plaatjies, skrumskakel, het ’n uitstekende wedstryd beleef en was ook goed ondersteun deur sy kaptein, Brandon Hunter, en Neil Coetzee. Plaatjies het Hawston se tweede drie gedruk en Roland Swarts het verdoel. Hawston het die wedstryd 17–10 gewen. ) Saterdag 15 Maart speel Hawston met al drie sy spanne in Durbanville. – RYAN STONE

Argus onder die belt

Jacqui Jackson with her first Argus Cycle Tour medal after finishing the race in a time of 4:08.

It was also a first for Dave Jackson finishing the race in a time of 5:32.

PhillipBen Kotze from Her manus Pharmacy finished the race in a time of 3:05.

Barry Ackermann (71), en sy kleinseun Barry Swanepoel, het saam die Argus aangepak op Sondag 9 Maart. Dit was Oupa Barry se 7de en jong Barry se 1ste Argus. Met die verskriklike sterk wind het die twee besluit om saam te ry maar so ‘n uur in die rit het oupa besef die kleinseun pak die bulte makliker en het hy klein Barry laat waai. Die onder steuning vir mekaar was fantasties en wat ‘n voorreg vir ‘n oupa om saam met sy kleinseun te ry. Barry Ackermann het ook in 1981 saam met sy seun Kurt, toe 9 jaar oud, die Argus gery.
