STEEDS VERMIS: Stephan Rabe (20) van Hermanus het kort voor Nuwejaarsdag verdwyn. Volgens die Her manuspolisie het hy op 29 Desember met iemand se swart Corsabakkie na Vis hoek gery waar die voertuig in ’n ongeluk betrokke was. Rabe was egter nêrens te vind nie en is steeds soek. Die polisie het vermoed hy is op pad na Johannesburg, maar dis onbekend waar hy hom tans bevind. Enigeen met inligting kan speurder konstabel Martin Mtholo by 028 313 7000 bel.
’n Man van Worcester het Vrydagmiddag ’n jong seun se lewe gered toe hy homself in ’n seestroom bevind en amper verdrink het. Sandra Martin, wat by Abagold in Hermanus werk, vertel haar seun, Pierre Martin (40), was verlede Vrydag saam met sy gesin op Kammabaai toe hy ’n vrou op die strand opmerk wat haar hande in die lug waai. Die vrou het gesien hoe haar seuntjie deur ’n seestroom meegesleur word, maar was so geskok dat sy net haar hande om hulp kon waai, vertel Sandra.
Pierre het die seuntjie in die see gewaar en hom dadelik te hulp gesnel. Hy het vir die seuntjie gesê om sy hand te vat sodat hy hom uit die see kon red. “Al wat die seuntjie kon sê, was die woorde ‘asseblief, asseblief,’ ” vertel Sandra. Die Martins is nie seker van waar die gesin afkomstig is nie, want hulle het net ná die voorval die strand verlaat. Die pa het erg aan skok gely en kon nie ’n woord uitkry nie. Die seuntjie se ma was baie dankbaar en het Pierre bedank vir sy heldedaad.
NOW OPEN Nuwe eienaars helder Caltex-motorhawe op
Die Caltex-motorhawe by die Voëlklip-sirkel het nuwe eienaars, en inwoners kan uitsien na flink en vriendelike diens by die petrolpompe én 'n blink nuwe winkel genaamd d'lish wat mens aan 'n plaaskombuis deli laat dink. Maar dit is nie al nie. Die nuwe eienaars, Lindy en Jacques Retief, 'n paartjie van Kaapstad wat 12 jaar in Engeland gewoon het, is 'n vars briesie in die mooie Hermanus. Die dinamiese span is jonk, energiek en propvol toekomsplanne, nie net vir die winkel en motorhawe nie, maar ook hul betrokkenheid by die gemeenskap en liefdadigheid. Die Retiefs, wat sedert September verlede jaar in Hermanus woon, was reeds nou betrokke by die Pink Trees for Pauline projek vir kankerlyers, asook ander plaaslike projekte. Die winkel lyk soos 'n splinternuwe sikspens. Behalwe vir die gewone melk, brood, ys, hout, bestanddele vir koekbak en koeldrank, hou hulle ook 'n reeks besonderse produkte aan, wat mens self kan gebruik of as geskenk saamneem na kuiermense toe. Olywe, olyfolie, 'n verskeidenheid konfyte en plaaslike kase, die mooiste geweefde mandjies en vele meer. Behalwe vir Lindy se kreatiewe hande wat vir niks verkeerd staan nie, is sy 'n tandarts wat haar beroep binnekort
in Hermanus gaan hervat. Jacques was jare lank betrokke by gholf en beplan reeds gholfdae en -promosies vir die dorp. Na 12 jaar oorsee het dié twee besluit om die koue Engeland te verruil vir Hermanus, waar albei vakansies in hulle kinderdae deurgebring het. Hulle is lief vir die son en die see, saam kosmaak, gholf speel, sport en braai. Regte Suid-Afrikaners in murg en been. Die toekoms lyk rooskleurig en die paartjie beplan nog 'n klomp verrassings. Soos piekniekmandjies vir sonsoekers en strandgangers, 'n OTM masjien wat geinstalleer gaan word en hope meer. Inwoners sal ook binnekort voorafbetaalde krag by dié winkel kan aankoop. Lindy vertel hulle het tot dusver baie positiewe terugvoering gekry en hulle sal graag voorstelle van inwoners en vakansiegangers wil ontvang, soos wat mense nog in die winkel verlang, watter tipe brode, groente of vrugte... Enige versoeke en idees is baie welkom. Die Caltex-motorhawe en winkel is in 10de Straat, 30, of makliker om te verduidelik, by die groot Voëlklip-sirkel. Die winkel is oop van 07:00 tot 19:00 sewe dae 'n week. Houers is mooi versier en ideaal vir geskenke of sommer om huistoe te neem as ’n bederfie. Vir meer inligting kontak Jacques by 082?387?7251.

Approval for malls dragging HEDDA MITTNER The proposals for the development of two new shopping malls in Hermanus which were recommended by council in April 2012 for approval by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Developmental Planning (DEA&DP), are still being held up at provincial level. The two developments waiting for final approval are Retail Africa’s Whale Coast Village Mall, to be built on the 12 hectare site between CTM and Engen, and Propergation Estate’s Overberg Mall on a 10 hectare site at Hoek van de Berg in Hawston. The DEA&DP issued partial environmental authorisation for both developments on 6 January, subject to compliance with certain conditions. This means that both developments have been given the go-ahead in terms of environmental legislation, subject to a period of appeal. Notification of intent to appeal has to be lodged within 20 days, and the appeal must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the lapsing of the 20-day period. “Land-use approval will only be finalised by the DEA&DP once the appeal process in
terms of the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) has been completed,” says Riaan Kuchar, Overstrand Municipality senior manager: Town Planning & Property Administration. Jannie Kruger, CEO of Retail Africa, says he hopes the process will gain momentum in the new year. “However, it is a very comprehensive and thorough process and other legal aspects such as rezoning and adjustments to the spatial developmental framework still have to be completed. In the meantime we are being patient.” Retail Africa had applied for authorisation for a retail facility with a total footprint of 38 900m², but authorisation was only granted for 27 800m², with the option of expandeing in phases as the market demands, up to a maximum of 38 900m² by 2024. In order to secure their position, Checkers recently bought 2½ of the 12 hectare site, and will be incorporated into the master plan of the development project. Kruger has said earlier that the project will incorporate the strong heritage character of Hermanus. “The mall will reflect the typical Cape vernacular, combining a fisherman’s village feel with elements drawn from the surrounding Hemel-en-Aarde winelands ar-
ea.” He added that the Whale Coast Village Mall will be “a high-quality, low-impact building with well-landscaped spaces that will harmonise with the scenic surrounds of Hermanus”, in keeping with other Retail Africa projects such as the Constantia Village in Cape Town and the Irene Village Mall near Pretoria. Lambertus van Zyl, CEO of Propergation Estates, says the process will probably drag on for at least another year. They intend to lodge an appeal because they were only granted environmental authorisation for a footprint of 10 000 m² for the Overberg Mall in Hawston. “That is too low for our purposes – the site allows for a regional shopping centre with a surface area of 35 000 m² and the possibility of extending up to 70 000 m².” Van Zyl believes the location of the proposed Overberg Mall is advantageous to the whole community as it will ensure a more even spread of traffic and ease congestion towards Hermanus. “If a regional centre is too close to the CBD, it will have a detrimental impact on businesses. All retail in Hermanus will come under major pressure and the vacancies that are created will eventually be occupied by bottom-end retailers.”
Stormers kies Hermanus bo enige ander plek JANHENDRIK COETZER “Ons oefen nou al die afgelope drie jaar in Hermanus, want ons kon nog nie ’n beter veld vind as dié van Laerskool Hermanus nie.” So gesels die Stormers-spanbestuurder, Chippie Solomon, by Dinsdag se oefening ter voorbereiding vir die Super15. “As jy die oppervlak van dié veld moet vergelyk met ander is dit ’n baie veilige veld. Jy kan nie beserings bekostig tydens oefening weens ’n veld waarvan die oppervlak nie reg is nie. En dan het ons natuurlik ook oor die afgelope drie jaar sulke goeie verhoudings opgebou met Hermanus en sy mense dat ons dit regtig nie wil verbreek nie,” sê Solomon. Die Stormers het Maandag in Hermanus aangekom vir ’n week lange oefensessie en vertrek weer Sondag. Hul oefenprogram bestaan uit twee strawwe oefensessies per dag, maar oefening is darem nie die enigste aktiwiteit op hul program nie. Oudergewoonte bly hulle in die Windsor Hotel. Met die span se aankoms Maandag het hulle reeds ’n paintball-sessie by Hermanus Forest Adventures deurgewerk, waarna Fruit & Veg Food Lover’s Market die aand vir hulle ’n braai vir sowat 50 mense geborg het. En dan wag White Shark Cage Diving ook nog. Met die afskop van die Super15 op 15 Februarie begin die Stormers egter met ’n loslootjie waarna hulle in hul eerste wedstryd op 22 Februarie teen die Leeus in Johannesburg sal uitdraf. “Ons eerste oorsese wedstryd is teen die Crusaders en ons wil dit bitter graag wen. Dit sal ’n baie groot hupstoot wees. Vanjaar wil ons fokus op fiksheid en foute,” sê Solomon.

Sharkbite survivor back in water Accompanied by surfer friends and his family, Thomas Browne got back in to the water at Kam mabaai on Friday. It’s the first time he went surfing again since his ordeal with a great white shark on 16 December while surfing at Die Plaat near De Kel ders. PHOTOS: DAVE DE BEER
KERRY VAN RENSBURG On Friday 10 January, shark-bite survivor Thomas Browne, was back on his surfboard less than a month after being bitten by a great white shark. He was accompanied for this momentous step, which took place at Kammabaai, by a group of close surfing friends and his family. While out for a surf at Die Plaat on 16 December, Thomas was bitten on the back of his left thigh and the shark’s lower jaw bit into his surfboard. It seems the shark bit onto a fin of the surfboard which may explain why it released Thomas’s leg and then swam away. The shark left six deep teeth marks on his leg. Quick thinking and lots of adrenaline helped Thomas to catch a wave back to shore, whereafter his friends were able to get him to Mediclinic Hermanus in good time. The attack happened early Monday morning and by Wednesday of the same week
Thomas was out of hospital, much to the relief of his parents Sandy and Jeremy Browne. On the evening of Friday 10 January, Alison Kock, research director for Shark Spotters, Thomas Browne and Dr Shaun Luyt, an anaesthetist at Mediclinic Hermanus, chatted to about 25 surfers and swimmers about the local water conditions and sharkrelated matters at the Kiosk on Onrus beach. Jeremy Browne (Thomas’s father) says: “Thomas talked about his recent attack. Alison from Shark Spotters chatted in detail about white sharks and answered questions. Shaun, who attended to Tom’s operation, chatted about medical responses to a shark attack. It was an informal gathering at the Kiosk arranged by Graham Thjabring.” He says Alison explained the behavioural patterns of great white sharks and migratory movement of sharks. These are some of the points Alison covered: ) Shark attacks in general – only
350 worldwide since data have been collected. ) Chumming and shark incidents – no direct link to more attacks. ) Shark figures are actually declining at the seal colonies even with cage-diving operators chumming. ) 40 sharks have been tagged offering great new data. ) Cameras have been fitted to sharks showing that sharks will investigate everything in their environment and are very inquisitive. ) Shark attacks are more often just sharks being inquisitive.

Roadworks on R320 still in limbo and workers unpaid HEDDA MITTNER The roadworkers who were employed by Vusela Construction on the R320 roadworks project between Hermanus and Caledon, have still not been paid since October 2013. The company was placed under liquidation by the Western Cape High Court on 6 December. The department of transport and public works has terminated its contract with Vusela Construction and senior operations manager Anton Nell, said on Wednesday that the negotiation process with a new contractor is almost complete. “We’ll be making an announcement regarding the new contractor within the next week or two, and hope to resume construction at the beginning of February.” The upgrade of the R320 which links Hermanus to Caledon entails the tarring of the dirt road across its entire length, but by the end of October last year, only about 4,5 km of the 16 km had been sealed.
The work started in March 2012 and was scheduled for completion in September 2014. A spokesperson for the road workers, Anthony Wells, said the workers, who are all local labourers from the Caledon area, received their last pay at the end of October last year. “We suspected that all was not well with the company as far back as April 2013,” said Wells. “Our pay was often late and there was a lack of equipment on site.” According to Wells the workers were called in on 5 November for a meeting where they were told by the foreman that Vusela Construction had been placed under provisional liquidation and they were to cease work until further notice. At another meeting a week later they were given claim forms for their November and December salaries, which they were instructed to complete and hand in at the Caledon police station. “Approximately 40 to 50 workers were left without an income less than two months before Christmas,” said Wells bitterly, “and we
still haven’t received anything. It is very unfair that the people of Caledon and their families have been left to suffer like this.” Wells said their contracts with Vusela were for the period from February 2012 to September 2014. He is hopeful that the workers will be re-employed by the new contractor. “The employment contracts of all Vusela’s employees were suspended by the operation of law on the liquidation of Vusela,” says Sivalutchmee Moodliar from Sanek Trust Recovery Services (Pty) Ltd, one of the three liquidators appointed by the WC High Court. “In terms of the insolvency legislation, these employees’ claims for arrear salaries and wages against the company in liquidation are preferent and will rank prior to the claims of trade and other concurrent creditors. “The employees have been advised to prove such claims against Vusela at the first meeting of creditors which will be convened by the Master of the High Court within the coming weeks.”
MAIN ROAD RESURFACING BEGINS: Main Road between Har bour Road and Marine Drive was closed to traffic yesterday morning at 06:00 and will remain closed for resurfacing work until the end of February. The sidewalks with crossovers for pe destrians will remain open for the duration of the project. Vehi cles will be diverted to alternative routes from a number of in tersections on Main Road entering Hermanus on the R43 from Onrus and Stanford, while businesses in the closed section of Main Road will have to cope with supply deliveries from adja cent streets. These roadworks were originally scheduled for Oc tober 2013, but the municipality bore the brunt of an outburst by business owners who feared they could lose up to 40% of their annual income during this busy period. Although the road upgrading was welcomed, it was the lack of public participation on the timing which angered the business community. After much negotiation with council, headed by the Hermanus Busi ness Chamber, the timing agreed to was now, after the school holidays. For maps indicating the alternative routes, and earlier articles published, go to www.hermanustimes.co.za.

PietseBos and Grotto beach to be upgraded The rehabilitation of the wetland and the development of an amphitheatre and restaurant form part of the Overstrand Municipality’s proposed upgrade of the Piet-se-Bos and Grotto beach area. Hanneen van der Stoep, senior town planner says: “The area applicable is the Blue Flag beach and picnic area. The process for the upgrading of the area started with a Basic Assessment Report (BAR) for the following activities: wetland rehabilitation, amphitheatre (located at the picnic site) and a restaurant.” She says a geotechnical report was compiled for the site in 2010 to evaluate the shallow groundwater regime and to determine the requirements for the rein-
statement of the wetland. The intention in 2010, was to upgrade the picnic facility with its natural cliff overhangs to enhance the recreational value of the picnic area. The public participation process for this development on erf 4771 will include a workshop at the Overstrand Auditorium on Saturday 18 January from 10:00 to 14:00. The community and all registered interested and affected parties are welcome to attend this workshop. Information on the project’s BAR can be viewed under notices on www.overstrand.gov.za.

Fine tuning for Hermanus FynArts 2014 taking shape The central message for Hermanus FynArts 2014 is “It’s back, it’s bigger, it’s better!” A marketing The new logo meeting on how best to showcase this year’s FynArts Festival was held at the Hermanus Tourism Bureau on Saturday morning. It was agreed by the roleplayers that it will be built on the credibility gained in 2013 when the groundwork for the first Hermanus FynArts was established. In keeping with the central message, a fresh new logo has been created which is sleeker, clearer and elegant – encapsulating what FynArts is about, said Mary Faure. This year’s festival will take
place from 6 to 16 June and promises a fabulous line-up of concerts, ballet, talks, workshops, exhibitions and dinners. “The programme is crammed with new performers, presenters and artists – and a few returns by popular request.” There will also be another exhibition at the Old Synagogue and sculptures will once again grace the cliffs and amphitheatre. The Overstrand Municipality has given permission for them to be in place for 10 months. For updates, go to www.hermanusfynarts.co.za.

With the aid of a Dutch Theatre Group, The Art, seven youngsters from Zwelihle put on a play last week which was performed un der the milkwood trees across the road from Dutchies on Grotto. The owners of The Art – Noufri Bachdim, Dalith Tempert and Rhodé Gonggrijp, the daughter of Joke Gonggrijp who is the owner of Dutchies – encouraged the youngsters to tell their own story. The result was a play called Thando, which focuses on the negative effects of drugs and alchohol among the youth of Zwelihle. PHOTOS: HEDDA MITTNER
Thando was performed on Thursday and Friday afternoon and was enthusiastically applauded by the audience. Gathered under the milkwoods are, from left, Ntomboxolo Kutuka, Rhodé Gonggrijp, Nwabisa Freeks, Anathi Makhendlana, Msindiseni Moss, Siphe sande Lusiba, Alive Gxowa, Olwethu Mfanekiso, Dalith Tempert and Noufri Bachdim. The performances were free but donations re ceived will be donated to orphanages in Zwelihle. The Art Theatre Group would like to stage further performances of Thando with this talented young cast.

Rugbyspeler verras laerskoolleerders
Laerskool Hermanus
JANHENDRIK COETZER Gr. 1’s by Laerskool Hermanus het vir hul eerste dag van skool meer opwinding gekry as wat hulle verwag het. Tydens die Stormers se oefening gisteroggend het Stormers-kaptein, Jean Stormerskaptein, Jean de Villiers, iets by die de Villiers. voorportaal gaan haal toe die kleinspan ook heel toevallig daar saamdrom. De Villiers het sommer uit die bloute met die kleintjies begin gesels en gevra of hulle enige spelers van die Stormers se name ken. Meeste van hulle het amper soos een man gesê “ja, Jean de Villiers”. De Villiers vra toe vir hulle “speel hy goed rugby?” ”Ja, hy is die beste”, was hulle antwoord. Tot hul oorstelpte verbasing lig hy hulle in “ék is Jean de Villiers!”. Volgens die skool se sekretaresse, Barbara Lotz, kon die kinders hulself op daardie oomblik behoorlik natmaak. Die een juffrou, Carolyn Hutton, sê toe vir die kinders dat as hulle soet is en hul huiswerk doen, sal hulle ook eendag so ’n groot en sterk rugbyspeler wees soos Jean, waarop Jean byvoeg “en julle moet ook julle groente eet”. Dis vir seker ’n ervaring wat dié gr. 1’s op hul eerste dag van skool nie gou sal vergeet nie.

Briewe Letters
16 January, 2014
Ek salueer julle, Hermanusinwoners
Some down time for the language issue? I refer to the letter by Summerell in the Hermanus Times of 9 January 2014 regarding the above. The ongoing polemic relating to the representation of English versus Afrikaans in our local newspaper is becoming trite and repetitive. Surely, this is a matter for the Editor to handle and in my opinion it is being adequately dealt with by that office. I am however concerned with another issue pertaining to this communication. Am I being oversensitive or is there a nuance of individual/language/cultural superiority in the contribution of your correspondent? On reading her letter carefully, it is clear that a derogatory attitude towards Afrikaans is displayed, especially in the last paragraph. She is obviously of the view that the English language (her language) is far superior to Afrikaans. If that is her opinion, so be it. It still does not give her the right to refer to my language – “colloquial Afrikaans” - in an offensive way. I would suggest that she offers an immediate apology to your Afrikaans readers and that, in future contributions, she thinks twice before allowing her prejudices to show. Met dank en goeie wense in Afrikaans – ook aan u korrespondent
EDITORIAL COMMENT Food for thought Of all the towns vying to host the Stormers’ annual preseason training camp, Hermanus has become the outright favourite – because of the bounty and beauty the area offers; because of the welcome the players receive when they are here; and last but not least because of the fabulous field at Hermanus Primary, where the players are put through their training sessions. And they don’t intend looking elsewhere for a better field. “We are here to stay,” said the Stormers team manager, Chippie Solomon. This is food for thought. The top condition of the sports field at Hermanus Primary was one of the main deciding factors for their deci sion. The surface, according to Solomon, makes it a safe field to play on as the team cannot afford to lose any players due to inju ries while training. He says their relationship with the school is such that they can pick up the phone, confirm dates, and when they ar rive all is sorted and arranged. What a feather in the cap for the school. And what a great spinoff for other businesses in town and surrounds. But it takes effort and commitment to keep the field in tiptop shape for a handful of training sessions. Which is part of the school’s normal commitment to its sports grounds, said school principal Barry Cilliers. When excellence is an everyday standard, the benefits and returns flow almost naturally.
GEORGE WATERMEYER
Barbara Summerell responds: I must congratulate you on your mastery of the English language to interpret nuances. I wish I was anywhere as proficient in the Afrikaans language. Language is not one of my strong points.
My own is so complicated that I have used up my language proficiency on struggling with English. I am Celtic by origin. I assume you are new in the Overberg. Welcome. Enjoy. Be happy.
Ek het die geleentheid gehad om van Oujaarsdag tot so ná Nuwejaarsdag by my suster op Onrus te kuier. Oujaarsdag het ek geld getrek by die Standard Bank OTM by Gateway-winkelsentrum. In my nalatigheid het ek my vlugkaartjie terug na Durban vanaf Kaapstad uit my handsak laat val ... sonder om dit eens agter te kom. Terug op Onrus kry ek toe ’n SMS van ene Magda van Mel Tucker Travel Agency, Hermanus, met haar straatadres om te sê iemand het my kaartjie by die sentrum opgetel en na haar gebring. Ek kon dit by haar kom afhaal. Is dit nie wonderlik nie? Dit was toe al te laat op Oujaarsdag, maar ek kon ’n SMS stuur om te vra of ek dit die 2de Januarie kon kom haal. Dit het ek toe ook gedoen en vir haar blomme geneem om dankie te sê, maar sy kon nie vir my sê wie die persoon was wat dit opgetel en na haar geneem het nie. Die hele episode is vir my ’n riem onder die hart. Hermanus se mense gee genoeg om vir hul gaste om die ekstra draai te loop om hulle uit ’n verknorsing te help. As hulle dit nie gedoen het nie, sou ek eenvoudig ’n ander vlugkaartjie moes koop. Magda moes my selfoonnommer soek in die SAAkoevert en het dit opgespoor op die kaartjie van die pendeldiens in Margate wat my moes terugbring van die Durban-lughawe af. Dit sou ek ook verloor het. Hoeveel mense sou daardie SAA-koevert enigsins opgelet het? Dit kon so maklik net daar bly lê of weggewaai het. Wie is jy, weldoener? Ek skuld jou ’n baie groot dankie! As jy die brief lees, maak asseblief kontak met my suster, Tertia Knaap, op Onrus. Vir jou wil ons ken! Dankie, Hermanus. Jul gasvryheid is puik!
From the editor: Hermanus Times has received (and published) a number of comments on the balance of language in our publication. Although it is always uplifting to know we are part of a community that cares enough to keep sending a continuous stream of letters (and SMSes) – whether these be congratulatory, challenging or tongue-in-cheek, and voicing opinions on a variety of issues – let’s give the language issue some down time. We do our utmost to ensure a good and balanced read every week, despite the language “challenge”. But, on this topic, we do need to explain why the index headings on the classified pages have suddenly changed to Afrikaans only, when they had always been bilingual until a few weeks ago. One reader took it upon himself to count the number of English ads in the classified section to strengthen his query/complaint regarding the sudden absence of English index headings. This is due to a new ad booking system implemented across the Boland Media group. The request, to bring bilingual headings back is being addressed. Although the timing of the system switch-over made our explanation to this reader all the more difficult, we do ask that you bear with us while it is being worked on.
CELESTE DU PLESSIS
Letters column provides insights into strange workings of human mind Sometimes the letters column of the Hermanus Times supplies surprising food for thought as well as extraordinary insights into the strange workings of the human mind. Today was such a day. A certain gentleman wrote about traffic congestion caused by road blocks held during the festive season. As one started to read, one was inclined to sympathise – poor man, delayed in his quest to go shopping – what an inconvenience! However, the poor man, delayed for 27 terribly long minutes at the inappropriate roadblock, was discovered to have outstanding traffic violations! One wonders how anyone can be arrogant enough to complain about a road block when they are the very reason for the inconvenience to everyone else. Sir, pay your tickets and such a road block will not be necessary. Not only did the poor man have to wait 27 long minutes, but when he was finally released to go (his face having reflected many different hues of anger, by his own admission), he furiously spun his front wheels in anger (by his own admission) and
‘No dogs allowed’ not adhered to Is it only at Onrus beach that the regulations on dogs on the beach and on leashes does not count? On 5 Jan the “security guards” were on duty and none stopped people walking right past them, taking their dogs onto the beach, this despite the “no dogs allowed” sign. Last Sunday a dog was running around dragging his leash with him (without the owner attached) and promptly attacked two smaller dogs. Were it not for the one dog owner who happened to have a stun gun on hand, this dog would have mauled the second dog as well. What is to be done? This behaviour by dog owners is unacceptable.
ONRUS BEACH LOVER
shot out into the traffic because, he says, none of the traffic officers assisted him in rejoining the queue of traffic. Extraordinarily he manages to be surprised when the officers pursue him and give him yet another ticket. This, after he had earlier stated that their concern should be the safety of drivers, not the collection of cash. Driving with squealing wheels into traffic does not seem to register in the mind of this poor put-upon gentleman as a somewhat unsafe activity. Finally he tells us that he is looking forward to his day in court when he expects to have ‘fun’ detailing the poor judgement of the Hermanus Traffic Officials. Well, I am not sure how much fun it is going to be to pay his latest fine (he has after all made an admission of guilt in a public newspaper) and why anyone in authority should waste their valuable time listening to his strange version of officials doing their duty as they should.
CLINTON D’OLIVEIRA
Jan Cilliers reponds: The author of the above letter is right; the
human mind is indeed a strange place. He only read in my letter what he wanted to read and then came to some weird conclusions. The case in point is that he or she didn’t see the wood for the trees. In his own words it was an inappropriate roadblock. He also didn’t take cognisance of the fact that I mentioned alleged offences. He also assumed that it was unsafe to spin my wheels. If, and only if, it was an unsafe hasty departure, it was the direct result of the traffic department not properly managing a roadblock in peak traffic in a safe manner. He also thought I admitted guilt. He also thought that my face reflected anger and not frustration as I said. There is also a difference between spinning wheels and a squeal from tyres – the word quantify comes to mind. No sir, although my letter was written tongue-in-cheek, I think you should look at the bigger picture of safety on our roads . How many deaths are caused by spinning wheels causing damage to the road and how many are because of excessive speeding and/or drunken driving? I think you should re-assess your criticism.
Why were fireworks allowed on 4 January? I read the article ‘Vuurwerkherrie bars los’ in the Hermanus Times of 9/01/14 and realized that not much has changed in the 14 years I’ve lived here. There is cruel, avoidable distress for all types of animals, the loss of animals and a fire hazard due to illegal and so-called legal fireworks. The Fire Department seems to be a little confused as to when New Year should be celebrated. Giving permission for a display on 4 January without notifying the public would mean that they expect us to sedate our animals for about a week every day and night to accommodate a visitor who seems to have some clout. The first firework went off on 30 December, 2013 at 21:25. Neighbours down from Potchefstroom lost two cats on the night of 4 January
028-312 3717 PO Box 96 Hermanus 7200
and we are on the other side of Voëlklip. One of the cats only found its way back to their holiday house the evening before they left to go home on 11 January. I am not alone in wanting to know what the actual procedure is for giving permission for the use of fireworks. Is a meeting held about it or is it enough to have a beach front property? Please can Joe Schoeman explain this procedure and the criteria followed, if any, to the ratepayers in a transparent manner. Why permission can’t be given for a half hour before and after midnight to celebrate New Year, I don’t know, or are we celebrating fireworks?

Joe Schoeman, division commander: Fire & Rescue Services, responds: The main criteria for the discharge of fireworks outside the designated areas, includes: . Application must be in writing and addressed to the Chief: Fire & Rescue. . Fireworks are only permitted if they are conducted by a professional pyro-technician or licensed competent person. . Permisission must be obtained from the police department’s explosives unit and be submitted with the application. . A site inspection is then conducted and a safety risk assessment for the area is done. . The applicant as well as the technician who is going to be in charge of the fireworks must complete an indemnity form and take re-

sponsibility for irregularities or claims. . Applications are approved with strict conditions to ensure that adequate safety procedures are followed. . It is the responsibility of the applicants to inform the community/neighbours of their intention to use fireworks on a specific day and time, and to handle objections. . The law does not require a municipality to inform residents about approved fireworks, but it is expected that applicants do so out of courtesy to their neighbours. Only three beaches in the Overstrand are allowed fireworks on New Year’s Eve between 22:00 and 01:00 – Grotto East, Hawston and Kleinmond – because they are deemed the safest areas for uncontrolled fireworks.

Alhoewel ons dit verwag het en voorsiening daarvoor gemaak het, is Hermanus Staan Saam nog steeds oorweldig deur die hoeveelheid roepe om hulp. Ons sal dit waardeer as mense ons dalk be-
hulpsaam kan wees in terme van vleis of enige ander item wat ons kan aanwend om verligting te bring.

Hospice supportive and caring to the end Do we realise how lucky we are in Hermanus to have such a wonderful Hospice service who are truly dedicated to helping not only people who are sick but helping families cope with very sick partners. My husband fell ill last year with cancer and on the same day we found out how ill he was, the doctor contacted Hospice who rang and arranged to come and see us. What wonderful people they turned out to be. They were there to help both night and day. With not only pain management control but with compassion towards myself and
family, in fact they became part of our family. The support and encouragement they gave me to be able to cope with the situation was far more than my family and I ever expected. My husband is sadly gone now but because of their service we were able to let him stay at home to the end. Thank you, I will always be indebted to you. If you wish to donate to a worthwhile cause I urge anyone with a few rand to spare to give to Hospice. THE MASTERSON FAMILY FISHERHAVEN
Shark attack victim and family eternally grateful Thomas Browne and his family would like to take this opportunity to thank the communities of Hermanus and Stanford for the incredible love and support shown during the shark attack on 16 December at De Kelders. The quick response and excellent medical attention Thomas received at the Mediclinic Hermanus has resulted in a speedy recovery.
Our special thanks go to Dr RG du Toit and all the staff in Ward B for their love and kindness. Thomas continues to go from strength to strength and we will always be eternally grateful to all those people for their prays and thoughts during this traumatic incident.

Genoeglike weer tot herfs toeslaan Uit en tuis en die vakansie is ook verby vir Overstranders wat nie weg was nie. En kyk, die weer is aan die verander. Ons kyk aanstaande week reeds na die begin van herfs. Maar tot dan heers ons genoeglike klimaat, wat ons tuis en veilig laat voel. Maar nou dat die kinders weer hok toe is, is dit tyd om bestek te neem. Dit is veral die tuin wat moet aandag kry. Die maan is ampertjies vol en dis ’n baie vrugbare tyd om te plant. Laatsomerblomme, vrugteboompies en rankplante moet in die grond kom. Potplante moet vandag en môre nog in nuwe grond verplant word. Tot aanstaande week durf manlief nie lyf wegsteek om die gras te sny nie. Die sterk groei is nou. En moenie vergeet om voor Dinsdag bietjie plaagbeheer toe te pas nie. Hierdie wenke van ons tuinboumense geld vir almal in die Overberg. In die bolug is alles honkie dorie met ons weerpatroon. Die normale hobbelrigheid in die windspoed wat na donker elke drie uur byna gaan lê, is nog aan die gang en daar is in die volgende week min uiterstes in selfs die aand en dag temperature wat tussen 20 en 25 grade wissel. Die seestrome is tot aanstaande week ook rustig. Dit raak ons hengelaars. Diegene wat met sonsak ’n lyntjie wil gaan natmaak sal die water byna te stil vind. Weerhaan het heelwat oproepe gehad van le-
sers wat kla dat besoekers baie ondermaatse vis gevang het en daar is nou veral baie klein kabeljou en elwe in die water. Hou tog maar by die reëls, vra die bewaringsmense. Die boetes is groot. Onthou, die son sak nou reeds vroeër en pak maar teen 7 namiddag se kant op as jy nie in die donker op die rotse wil wees nie. Die wolke wat môre en Vrydag oor die Overstrand trek, keer nie dat Sondag ’n heerlike gesinsdag op die strand kan word nie. Die water is warm en veilig, wat ook beteken baie plankryers sal op die wal rondsit. Die matige weer hou tot volgende Woensdag aan. In ’n neutedop is die goeie nuus dat ons dorpsdam redelik vol is, maar langtermyn kenners weet dat dit geen waarborg is dat die winter nie, soos die Overstrand sommige jare is, maar baie onvoorspelbaar kan wees nie. Werk maar spaarsaam met die tuinwater en die karwas en kyk dat die kleingoed nie ure lank onder die stort speel nie.

Artist Lize van der Walt.

Positive outlook after cancer treatment DEEVRA NORLING Artist Lize van der Walt was diagnosed with cancer in October last year after noticing tenderness in her right breast. Lize explains that a year and a half ago her doctor recommended that she go for regular mammograms, because she is over 40 and her mother (actress Wilna Snyman) has also had breast cancer. She made a mental note of it but soon forgot. In October, a chance meeting with an old friend who had breast cancer finally prompted her to go for a check-up. An ultrasound revealed a lump and a biopsy confirmed that the tumour was malignant (cancerous). “This was a curve ball and I knew that I needed to be calm and stay positive, and above all trust and believe that my newfound faith in Jesus Christ will lead me through this,” says Lize. After the initial shock, the financial reality came crashing down on her. Lize is a freelance artist and also has a slimming treatment business. Both these provide an erratic income and she does not have a medical aid plan. “My only option was to use a state-funded hospital. I was referred to Tygerberg Hospital, but the first available date for a lumpectomy was at the end of January this year.” Then something amazing happened. Nelia and André Schreuder in Johannesburg heard about her predicament from Lizette Voigt, a mutual friend. André, who had recently been through his own battle with cancer, was concerned about a waiting period of four months to have the operation. He promptly decided to make a donation on behalf of his company, Villa Crop Protection, to pay for the operation. Lize was admitted to Mediclinic Panorama in December, her tumour was removed and she is back home and recovering well. “I realised that the operation was made possible not only through the amazing kindness and generosity of my friends Lizette, André and Nelia who paid for it, but also through the power of prayer. “I am overwhelmed and forever thankful to my friends and church for their prayers and blessed to witness how our Lord uses angels to reveal His goodness and perform miracles.” She is now undergoing further treatment while still maintaining a positive outlook.

Pretty in pink: Lena Sauls, a member of Lombardi Centre.
It was an enchanted evening when members, friends and sponsors gathered for the Lombardi Senior Centre’s endof year Christmas function held at the end of last year before closing for the holidays. The theme of the party was Matric Class of 1990. Jenny Sauls, manager of Lombardi, said it was because many of the members of the centre did not have an opportunity to finish matric, as they had to work, so they were never part of a matric class. But when Nelson Mandela was freed from prison in 1990, it was a symbolic “graduation” for all of them. Jenny thanked the many peo ple who contributed to the success of the evening. Looking very glamorous in their evening gowns and decorative masks were, from left, Valerie Doty, Anna April and Moira Claasen. PHOTOS: KERRY VAN RENSBURG

Nico Steneveld with the kittens he rescued out of a refuse bag.
Kittens dumped in refuse bag JANINE VAN DER RIET Five newborn kittens tied up in a black refuse bag were discovered at the Stanford municipal dump on 29 December by a resident from Stanford. Nico Steneveld couldn’t believe his eyes when he opened the bag and discovered the tiny wriggling kittens. When he found them they were only ten days old and their eyes were still closed. He took the kittens to the Stanford Vet Clinic where they are being cared for by staff with support from the Stanford Animal Welfare Society (SAWS). SAWS condemns this extremely cruel act. “It shows that owners are not sterilising their pets and then dealing with the consequences in the most inhumane manner,” said a representative of SAWS. “We applaud Nico for saving the kittens – it was the right thing to do.” However, the welfare kennels are bursting at the seams with 12 kittens and five older cats so they are desperately looking for good homes for these lovely furry friends. Please contact the Stanford Vet Clinic on 028 341 0547 if you can help.

SUZUKI SWIFT: NUWE STANDAARDTOERUSTING
Kraakvars aansig en meer waarde QUICKPIC Suzuki se gewilde Swift-luikrugmotor wat in 2011 bekendgestel is, het pas ’n aantal verbeteringe vir die 2014-modeljaar ondergaan. Die meerderheid veranderinge is op ’n varser voorkoms gerig, maar die lys standaardtoerusting is ook aangepas. Die 2014 Swift baat by ’n deftiger binneruim, met Bluetooth-koppeling wat nou deel word van die GLSweergawe se standaardmondering. Dié stelsel laat nie net toe dat versoenbare toestelle soos selfone draadloos aan die motor se klankstelsel gekoppel kan word nie, maar buiten telefoonoproepe kan musiek van slimfone en Bluetooth-toegeruste toestelle ook deur die klankstelsel gespeel word. Nog ’n toevoeging wat byval sal vind is togsnelheidsbeheer, wat eweneens by die GLS-model se lys standaardkenmerke gevoeg is. Die stelsel word gerieflik deur middel van kontroles op die meerfunksiestuurwiel beheer. Daarbenewens spog die GL en die GLS-weergawes van die nuutste Swift met nuwe, meer moderne doekstofbekleedsel, wat verder tot die luikrug se hedendaagse beeld bydra. Die mees ooglopende verandering aan die 2014 Swift is die splinternuwe sierrooster, wat met ’n herontwerpte voorste buffer gepaard gaan. GLS-weergawes word voortaan met LED-dagryligte toegerus, terwyl die luginlate van die GL-modelle met nuwe sierstroke omring word. Die derde, hooggeplaaste remlig agter maak ook van ’n helderder LED-eenheid gebruik. Die volgrootte naafdoppe van die GL-model is heeltemal herontwerp, terwyl die GLS met splinternuwe allooiwiele toegerus is. Die 2014 Swift-
Die 2014 Swift baat by ’n deftiger binneruim, met Bluetoothkoppeling wat nou deel word van die GLSweerga we se standaardmondering. FOTO: QUICKPIC modelreeks kry ook ’n nuwe kleur, wat as Luminous Blue Metallic bekend staan. Die 2014 Swift-reeks maak steeds van dieselfde doeltreffende, brandstofingespuite viersilinder-kragbron gebruik. Die sogenaamde K14Beenheid se maksimum-kraglewering beloop 70 kW by 6 000 r/min, met ’n gepaardgaande wringkragpiek van 130 Nm by 4 000 r/min. Suinige brandstofvebruik bly ’n hoogtepunt van die hele Swift-reeks. Die vyfgang-handratweergawes behaal ’n verbruiksyfer van net 5,5 F/ 100 km in die gekombineerde siklus, met ’n gepaardgaande CO²-uitlaatgasvlak van 132 g/km. Die GLS Outomaties, met sy seepgladde outomatiese viergangratkas, spog met ’n gekombineerde siklusverbruiksyfer van 6,2 F/100 km, met CO²-uitlaatgasvlakke van 147 g/km.
Die 2014 Suzuki Swift bied ’n keuse van twee afwerkings. Die Swift GL koppel bekostigbaarheid aan bogemiddelde vlakke van standaardtoerusting. Onder die hoogtepunte tel kragstuur, ’n hoogteverstelbare stuurwiel, elektries-beheerde ruite voor en agter, afstandbeheerde sentrale sluiting, en lugversorging. Die lys sluit ook elektries-verstelbare buitespieëls, hoogteverstelling vir die bestuurdersitplek, en ’n meerfunksie-ritrekenaar in wat inligting soos die buite-temperatuur, brandstofverbruik en reikafstand vertoon. Die agtersitplek is 60/40 verdeel en kan platgevou word om meer pakplek te bied. ’n Handige nutshaak op die agterste sitplekleunings bied slim bergplek vir inkopiesakke. Veiligheid word ook deeglik aangespreek: GL-weergawes spog met
twee lugsakke voor, asook ABS-sluitweerremme. Die Swift GLS is nog deftiger, en bied ook die keuse van ’n outomatiese of ’n handratkas. Wat voorkoms betref, word die GLS-model veral deur sy nuwe allooiwiele van 16 duim onderskei, asook deur die voorste misligte en die nuwe LED-dagryligte. Binne word Bluetooth en togsnelheidsbeheer by die GLS se uitvoerige lys standaardtoerusting gevoeg. Die leerraamstuurwiel kan vir hoogte en reikafstand verstel word, en bied kontroles vir die klankstelsel en die nuut bygevoegde togsnelheidsbeheer. Wat veiligheid betref, word die getal lugsakke na ses uitgebrei, met syen gordynlugsakke wat by die voorste lugsakke gevoeg word. Die GLS se lys bykomend kenmer-
ke sluit outomatiese klimaatbeheer in, asook ’n USB-sok waarmee geheue-stokkies en musiekspelers aan die klankstelsel gekoppel kan word. ’n Sleutellose bedryfstelsel laat toe dat die Swift met die blote druk van ’n skakelaar aan- en afgeskakel kan word, terwyl die deure ook oop- en toegesluit kan word. Die lewendige Swift Sport bly grotendeels onveranderd, en bied steeds al die ontwerp- en binneruimkenmerke wat dié unieke verrigtingsmodel van die gewone Swiftreeks onderskei. Die Sport baat egter by die toevoeging van Bluetooth-koppeling en togsnelheidsbeheer tot die Swiftreeks. Dit geld ook die kontroles vir die togsnelheidsbeheer op die stuurwiel. Die Sport is die Swift-reeks se atleet, en word deur ’n toergierige viersilinder-enjin van 1,6 liter aangedryf. Die eenheid bereik sy wakker maksimum-kraglewering van 100 kW by 6 900 r/min, gekoppel aan ’n wringkragpiek van 160 Nm by 4 400 r-min. Die Sport word as standaard met elektroniese stabiliteitsbeheer (ESC) toegerus, wat nie net veiligheid en traksie baat nie, maar ook afgeskakel kan word vir diegene wat ’n selfs meer opwindende bestuurservaring wil geniet. Pryse vir die nuwe Swift begin by R165 900 en eindig by R223 900 vir die Swift Sport. Die pryse sluit metaalverf in, asook die Suzuki Complete-pakket, wat alle fasette van naverkope-diens behels. Die Suzuki Swift-reeks word deur ’n omvattende waarborg van drie jaar/100 000 km gedek, asook roesweerdekking van ses jaar. Boonop is ’n diensplan van drie jaar/60 000 km ook standaard, tesame met ’n AA-bystandsplan van drie jaar.

MercedesBenz CLA: the hip sedan HANJO STIER Caution caution, I’m about to go into grumpy-old-man mode. What happened to common courtesy and good manners? Why do our lives move quicker and quicker? Who needs all these new cars we have on our market? Take the new Mercedes-Benz CLA, for example.
All engines are stateoftheart, turbocharged four cylinders which comply with Euro 6 emis sions regulations; one more than they have to. PHOTO: QUICKPIC
Who is it aimed at? Unconventional, younger, lifestyle-orientated customers, ladder climbers and innovators who are looking for a confident, sporty, untamed, compact C-segment sedan with sporty, powerful design language and an aggressive, stand-out, dynamic edge to it – according to Mercedes-Benz South Africa. So what’s wrong with the C-Class? Well, yes, M-B execs were quick to point out, the slightly larger, rear-wheel-drive sedan is more re-
strained and classic so the new CLA is in no way a C-Class substitute. In fact, it looks, feels and drives differently, for customers who weren’t considering this brand before, also financially. Isn’t that being greedy? Not really, they would argue, by following the daring CLS designs with a lower price tag, this car lures a completely different *cough* younger *cough* audience and hopefully they’ll stay with the three-pointed star. Merc aims to lead luxury segments by 2020, locally by as early as 2015. Really. How? Progressive and exciting products, like this CLA with a world-record Cd (aerodynamic) value of just 0.22. All engines are state-of-the-art, turbo-charged four cylinders which comply with Euro 6 emissions regulations; one more than they have to. All petrols are also BlueDirect (direct injection) motors. Sounds complicated. What else? All CLAs have an Eco start/stop system to further lower their emissions and consumption. Other standard items, besides most available electric and automatic goodies, are a dynamic DirectSteer system, Attention Assist drowsiness detection and Collision Assist system. Is that all? Of course not. The CLA is packed with safety features to the tune of five EuroNCAP stars and an advanced award, it boasts a premium interior with lots of individualisation options, differing specification levels and a host of connectivity solutions – more of which will be added in the near future. Right, which models are available? For you Sir, CLA180 and CLA200 turbo-petrol (90kw/200Nm and 115kW/250Nm) or CLA220 CDI turbo-diesel (125 kW/350Nm) with either 6-speed manual or 7-speed double-clutch automaticgearbox(includingeco,sportandmanual modes with shift paddles). Both petrol cars claim average fuel consumption of around 5.5F/100 km with about 130 g CO²/km while the diesel manages 4.5 and 117 g. All of them hit 100km/h in eight to nine seconds and can reach 210 to 230 km/h. The boot takes 470F, the fuel tank 50+6F, maximum load is 525 kg and the turning radius is 11 m. For absolute speed freaks, there’s also the CLA45 AMG which assaults you with another world-beating 265 kW and can scare Porsche’s by hitting 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. After sampling the dynamic CLA range on our launch route, we were given the chance to fling the AMG around an airfield – amazing. Good Heavens. How much? The CLA45 AMG is about R675 000 and slightly sold out while the CLA180 costs R348 700, CLA200 is R372 200 and the CLA220 CDI will set you back R397 600. All cars are sold with a 6-year/100 000km full maintenance plan and a choice of seven exterior colours. From our short drive and all these impressive specs I can confirm that the CLA is not an oldman’s car, especiallyagrumpyone.Judging by the public’s reaction, Mercedes has certainly hit their mark and will attract a lot of hip new clients. And for clients with a new hip, there’s always the C-Class. Galimoto Media
Check oil and water levels regularly If your car runs out of oil the engine will have no lubrication, seize up and die, leaving you with a car that doesn’t work and a hefty mechanic bill. Checking the oil once a month can prevent this. Make sure your car engine has been turned for five minutes, open the bonnet, pull out the dipstick, then wipe and replace it, before pulling it out again. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. If it’s not, then it’s time to top up

Volvo Concept XC Coupé for an active lifestyle QUICKPIC The second of Volvo’s three much-anticipated concept cars is the new Volvo Concept XC Coupé. Inspired by the design of modern sports equipment and demonstrating the safety capabilities of Volvo’s new Scalable Product Architecture, it is a sophisticated and capable car for people with an active lifestyle. “Those who love gravity sports freely seek new thrills and challenges. To ensure that they make it back in one piece, they prefer high-performance equipment that offers the ultimate sense of freedom and protection,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design of Volvo Car Group. “The Volvo Concept XC Coupé is perfectly in tune with this active lifestyle. Its capability and protection is cleverly integrated into the sophisticated looks. Concept XC Coupé is ready and willing to bring you into the adventure zone and back,” he adds. The three concept cars are designed to demonstrate vital elements of the company’s new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA): namely the confident stance, the perfect proportions and the most prominent design signatures. “Volvo’s Concept XC Coupé also shows how clever engineering makes it possible for us to reinforce our world-leading safety without compromising design, size or weight. Thanks to the extensive use of high-strength boron steel and structures with new, ingenious decoupling, we can make SPA cars
more compact and safer at the same time,” says Ingenlath. The two-door, four-seater Volvo Concept XC Coupé has a strong connection with its sibling, the Volvo Concept Coupé. However, the larger 21-inch wheels, the more accentuated wheel-arches and the taller roofline all contribute to a more ro-
bust impression and a fuller, capable look. The extended distance between the dashboard and the front axle is still a very powerful visual element. The capable stance is emphasised by details such as the new bonnet and a beltline that spans an elegant bow along the length of the
car. The connection with modern, high-tech sports gear is highly present in the concept car. Among the sources of inspiration for the design team is the Swedish company POC, which develops high-tech protective gear for gravity sports athletes.

“Several orange details and exterior graphics in combination with bold use of matte rubber mouldings, which cover the rear end of the car, add to the highly functional expression of the design,” says Ingenlath. To strike the right balance between aesthetics and functionality, the design team has also given traditional SUV elements, such as side mouldings and skid plates, a modern interpretation. They are more integrated into the sleek design, lying flush with the surrounding body areas. Just like Volvo Concept Coupé, the face of the Volvo Concept XC Coupé is characterised by a new topography on the bonnet and the “floating” grille, flanked by headlights featuring new T-shaped DRL light guides. The rear light signature is also a distinctive element in the new design direction of Volvo Cars. “Both concept cars show how we can shape our cars from now on. We add emotional value to the Volvo brand with the calm, confident beauty that is the hallmark of Scandinavian design,” says Ingenlath. Volvo Cars paved the way for a completely new segment by introducing the V70 Cross Country in 1997. The range has been continuously developed and extended since then. Presently, it spans from the Volvo V40 Cross Country, via the XC60 and XC70, to the XC90. “With the Volvo Concept XC Coupé, we take this unique blend of capable ruggedness and expressive elegance up to a new, sportier level,” says Ingenlath.

Lexus RC F to make world debut QUICKPIC The aggressive new Lexus RC F coupe – equipped with new 5.0litre engine with power well above 330 kW (450 hp) – will be launched at the North American International Auto Show on January 14. The model has been styled for optimum high speed stability to support the most powerful V8 performance car ever developed by Lexus. The RC F is based on the spectacular new RC coupe revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show in November. It has wider wheels and tyres, an active rear wing, air scoops, cooling ducts and carbon-fibre components, each delivering what Lexus describes as “functional beauty”. “The form of each component is carefully designed to contribute to performance,” Lexus RC F chief engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi said. “Unique air outlets in the hood and rear section of the front fenders contribute to optimum engine cooling and handling stability, and create an aggressive look that immediately conveys the expectation of a dynamic driving experience.” The signature Lexus spindle grille dominates the front of the RC F and encompasses one single F-pattern in its mesh, from the bonnet line to the lower lip. The bonnet is higher than that of the RC and helps create a powerful flared profile suited to an F model. Ducts beneath the front bumper
The RC F has taken design cues from the Lexus LFA supercar. and fenders and strategically placed aerodynamic stabilising fins create a stance which further identifies the F model. Air outlets at the rear of the front fender form the shape of an L when they merge with side sill extensions, while stacked trapezoidal quad-outlet tailpipes at the rear add further aggression. The RC F has taken design cues from the Lexus LFA supercar. An
active rear wing deploys from the RC F’s deck at speeds over 80 km/h and retracts at less than 40 km/h to enhance the coupe’s lines at standstill. Three variations of 10spoke 19” forged aluminium wheels are available by grade. Two are machine polished and on the High Plus grade the wheels are hand polished by a craftsman. The striking cockpit-like interior of Lexus RC F complements the

aggressive exterior. Unique components include the meters, steering wheel, seats, ornamentation and pedals. The instrument panel is dominated by a switchable central dial which changes according to the four selectable driving modes. The information, colour of the display and size of text all alter. RC F debuts a Lexus-first elliptical cross-section thick-grip steering wheel with optimum place-
ment of paddle gear shifts. All-new high back seats with an embossed F on the headrests have been styled to resemble tight-fitting athletic sportswear and to offer similar levels of support. The seats are available in a selection of five leather trims. Outstanding new L-shaped rubber slits in the brake and accelerator pedals combine form and function by providing better foot grip.

CKW Steel Wire wins 6aside MANDY ERWEE Fourteen teams competed for the Umpires Cup at the annual Stanford 6-a-side, held recently at the Stanford Cricket Ground. Three new teams joined the 11 teams that return every year and a record number of 3 500 spectators and supporters enjoyed the day’s cricket, which draws top sportsmen like Robbie Fleck, Bobby Skinstad, Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, Hottie Louw, Dawie van der Walt and also Willie le Roux. The top four teams of each pool, who played in the semi-finals were Hermanus Towing and CKW Steel Wire (also Hermanus based), Wellington Locals from Stanford and Rocking Rough-
necks from Cape Town. The final was contested between Jeanne Minnaar’s Hermanus Towing and Greg Hunt’s CKW team, with CKW Wire taking the cup.

New women’s hockey team Anzel and Christo du Plessis show the medals they received for being the mixed pairs champs in the Totalsports Terra Firma Challenge. PHOTO: JANHENDRIK COETZER JANHENDRIK COETZER Competing as a mixed pair for the first time, Christo du Plessis and his wife Anzel from Hermanus came in first place in the mixed pairs 4-discipline event in the Totalsports Terra Firma Challenge, which took place last weekend. Their time of 04:26:06 put them in 7th place overall in the pairs category. Approximately 700 multi-sport athletes took part in the event which started in Gordon’s Bay and ended in Kleinmond. This was Christo’s 6th Totalsports Challenge, and Anzel’s third but it was the first time they entered as a (mixed) pair. Christo says their biggest challenge was the beach run,“because of the high tide and the big waves together with running on the loose sand. Luckily we managed to make up some
time in the mountain bike discipline, which was our best event in the race. “The weather conditions were favourable for the most part and I’m extremely satisfied with our overall time.” They competed under the name Zelto Zippity Dooda which Christo explains is a combination of his and Anzel’s names “and the Zippity Dooda at the end just had a nice ring to it”. Apart from receiving medals, the twosome also received two gift vouchers from Totalsports. In the 7-discipline event Dan Hugo reclaimed the Totalsports Challenge Champion title over a combined distance of 123,5 km in a time of 07:06:53. Brett van Coller came in second, while Simon Oosthuizen finished third. In the individual women’s category Heleen Rossouw was the athlete to beat. She crossed the finish line first in a time of 08:59:09.
Hermanus Hockey is making history by opening its doors to all hockey ladies who want to either just stay fit or are crazy for hockey. Ludwig Schutz, chairman, says they have been approached by many individuals to do this for quite some time, but need a certain amount of players to sustain such a team. “We need you to join to make this dream a reality.” The women’s season kicks off with a pre-season match against a touring side from the Mutual Hockey Club on 8 February at 17:00. Interested players (age 16+) are urged to sms or whatsapp Schutz at 078 111 7271. Women’s practice sessions start next week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 17:30 to 19:00. The venue will be announced via whatsapp. Hermanus Hockey has also selected their committee for the year. They are Ludwig Schutz (chairman), Stefan Lotz (treasurer), Jamie Single (secretary), Greg Stock (marketing and PR) and Frank Single (coach).
Wet greens did not deter Ernie Els from en joying a foursome at the Hermanus Golf Club in the company of Dr Johann Rupert, Schalk Burger snr and Els’s brotherinlaw.
A wet 18 for Ernie in Hermanus CILENE BEKKER
The Hermanus Golf Club saw its fair share of who’s who playing golf during the season, which also included a foursome made up of Ernie Els, Dr Johann Rupert, Schalk Burger snr, and Els’s brother-in-law. Their friendly round of 18 holes took place on 10 January after the rainy week which saw the course having to close for three days. “We measured 205 mm of rain,” says Sharon Sleigh, club manager. The wet course did nothing to deter these keen golfers from playing. “We’re just here to enjoy and hit the ball,” was the response from Els when advised of the conditions. He has since returned to Florida. According to Sleigh they had a very good season overall, with a tally of 6 982 18-hole rounds played in December. “The number of visitors rounds hit a record high of 3 500 in December. This is almost 500 up from our previous record of 3 070 in 2011.”
