CELEBRITY ON BOARD
Armed robbers hit three homes JANINE VAN DER RIET “I have never been so traumatised and scared in my life before!”
Emmy Awardwinning Hollywood actress Claire Danes (right), who is shooting an episode of Homeland in South Africa, visit ed Hermanus with her family on 11 July and enjoyed a whale watching trip with Southern Right Charters. Hannie Euser (left) who is from the Netherlands and works as an interpreter at Southern Right Charters says: “It’s always a joy and an honour when a celebrity is visiting Hermanus to come and see the whales. We loved having Claire on board. She stars as Carrie Mathison in the popular US series Homeland, and was in Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo di Caprio, among many other movies and series.” Hannie adds that the family absolutely loved the whale outing.
So said Sherry Hoefnagel after her home was one of three targeted by armed robbers last weekend. On Friday evening at around 22:30, she went to say goodnight to her mother, who lives in a flat adjacent to their home in Fisherhaven. Four robbers, armed with knives and guns, surrounded her in the back yard on her way into the house. One suspect grabbed Sherry from behind and held a knife against her throat. The suspects, all wearing balaclavas, grabbed her 81-year-old mother and took both women inside the house. There, Sherry’s husband was shocked to see the suspects threatening his wife and mother-in-law. They hit Sherry’s mother over the head with an unknown object and tried to take her wedding ring off her finger. “My mother has never, ever taken off her wedding ring since she got married many years ago. The suspects could not get the ring off her finger and then took my rings and the earrings I was wearing.” Her husband immediately realised the danger of the situation and told the suspects they could take anything they wanted, but the intruders
grabbed him and tied him up. They then tied Sherry up and took the three to one of the bedrooms. The Hoefnagels’ 29-year-old son was in another bedroom when the robbery took place. He made several phone calls for help, including the SAPS emergency number (10111), but when he could not reach the police on this number, he phoned Sherry’s brother in Johannesburg. “He told my brother that we were being robbed in Fisherhaven and he must get some help.” After stealing everything they could carry, including more jewellery, cellphones, laptops and wallets, the suspects closed the bedroom door on the trio and left. “We waited a while until it was quiet in the house and then my husband, whose cellphone was luckily not stolen, phoned for help.” ) A few hours before the Hoefnagels were robbed, another couple were also robbed in their home in the same street. At around 20:00, a 61-year old man and his wife were having a braai on their balcony upstairs when four men walked into the house, ran up the stairs and forced the couple into the house. According to Lieutenant Fadila September, spokesperson for the Hermanus Police, the suspects tied them up and forced them from room to room while they were looking for
a safe and demanding money and jewellery. The suspects wore gloves and balaclavas. They left the couple in the bathroom and fled the scene. The couple managed to free themselves and notified the neighbours, who in turn phoned the authorities. Goods to the value of R39 000 were stolen. The couple did not sustain any injuries. A 22-year-old suspect was caught and appeared in the Hermanus Magistrate’s Court in connection with the incidents. Police are investigating whether the suspect could be linked to both robberies. ) In an incident in Voëlklip on Saturday 12 July, a man went outside to walk his dogs at around 23:00 and later returned home to sleep. At around 03:00, he woke up and realised that two men were walking around in his house. The suspects assaulted the 64year-old man by hitting him continuously on the head. According to the Hermanus Police, the injured man passed out and only woke up at around 11:00 the next morning. He had several injuries to the head, right eye and hand. He called for help and was taken to hospital. A black flat-screen television and a cellphone were stolen. No arrests have been made. Hermanus Police: 028 313 5300 / 5348 / 5349.

Fokus berig oor K9eenheid JANINE VAN DER RIET Spanlede van die SABC-TV se aktualiteitsprogram Fokus, het die afgelope paar dae onderhoude met verskeie rolspelers opgeneem oor die Overberg K9-polisie honde-eenheid se penarie. Die eenheid sit steeds sonder ’n permanente perseel nadat hulle gebou in Hawston in November 2012 deur lede van die gemeenskap en perlemoenstropers afgebrand is. Na verskeie mislukte pogings deur AfriForum om die nasionale departement van openbare Werke te betrek in die dringende behoefte om ’n nuwe perseel vir die K9 honde-eenheid te verkry, het AfriForum met die Fokusspan kontak gemaak. Daar is toe besluit om hierdie netelige saak te ondersoek en op film vas te lê. Die eenheid se honde word tans by die Hermanus Dierebeskermingsvereniging gehuisves, terwyl die polisielede van die K9eenheid hulle werk vanuit vraghouers, kilometers verwyder van hul honde-kollegas, moet
doen. Ian Cameron, hoof van gemeenskapsveiligheid by AfriForum, berig dat misdaad in die Overstrand/Overberg daagliks aan die toeneem is, omdat die K9 eenheid nie ten volle toegerus is vir hulle taak nie, as gevolg van die afbrand van hulle permanente perseel in Hawston. Die Fokus-span het met verskeie rolspelers gepraat, van kampvegters in die Hemel-enAarde-Vallei wat al vir twee jaar probeer om die honde-eenheid te help, tot Chris Nieuwoudt van Stop Crime Before it Happens, Overstrand en Ilze Smith, voorsitter van die Hermanus Dierebeskermingsvereniging. Fokus het ook na persele gaan kyk waar die K9-eenheid moontlik gevestig kan word. “Maar aan die einde van die dag is dit die nasionale departement van openbare werke wat spoedig ’n plan sal moet maak om goedkeuring te verleen vir ’n nuwe perseel. “Die oorsaak van die oponthoud lê regstreeks by hulle,” het Cameron opgemerk. ) Hou Fokus Sondagaande dop vir dié insetsel.
Ian Cameron gesels met Danie Hefers van die aktualiteitsprogram Fokus oor die K9eenheid se gebou wat twee jaar terug deur per lemoenstropers en gemeenskapslede in Hawston afgebrand is.

Robbery at jewellery store JANINE VAN DER RIET A jewellery shop in Village Square was robbed on Tuesday 8 July after four men gained entrance to the mall and held the security guards at gunpoint. At the time of the incident, the suspects had access to the inside of the mall because the wooden doors at the mall’s entrance were taken off for a few days to be replaced by new, modern doors. The men entered the building at around 23:50 and walked straight to the control room where the security officers are stationed and overpowered them. Two of the suspects then ran to African Jewels where they forced the door open with a crowbar. The store’s alarm went off, but the sus-
pects escaped despite the prompt response of ADT officials. According to Jeff Tanner, chairperson of the tenants association at Village Square, the security cameras in the mall captured the events and police are busy investigating the incident. “It seems this was an opportunistic crime, because the new doors where one can enter the building, were not in place yet. It is now in place and locked after hours.” Tanner says watches were stolen during the incident. The rest of the jewellery is locked away at night. No arrests have been made. Anyone with information can contact Detective Constable Craig Philander on 028 313 7000. The owner of African Jewels could not be reached for comment.

Ansie Keyter (79) en Gladys van Dyk (76) is op slag dood en hul suster, Michilina van Dyk (83), ’n paar uur later. Ansie en Michilina is van Napier, en Gladys van Stanford. Gladys het die groen Subaru bestuur waarin die susters na Langebaan op pad was om by Michilina se dogter te gaan kuier. Volgens ’n familielid word vermoed dat die son moontlik vir Gladys verblind het toe sy die R27, vanuit rigting Langebaanweg wou oorsteek na die Langebaan-pad. Sy het voor ’n Metro-ambulans met twee insittendes wat op pad was Kaap toe ingery. Langebaan-polisie het bevestig dat altwee vroue wat voor gesit het op slag dood is. Die derde vrou is per ambulans na Weskus Life Privaathospitaal op Vredenburg geneem waar sy ’n paar uur later aan haar beserings beswyk het. Die twee insittendes van die ambulans, ’n man en ’n vrou, het ook albei ernstige beserings opgedoen. Dit kon nog nie bevestig word hoe dit met hulle gaan nie. Die polisie ondersoek ’n saak van strafbare manslag. Die R27 was etlike ure afgesper voor die Langebaan-afdraai langs die Engen 1 Stopvulstasie terwyl noodreddingspersoneel die toneel opgeruim het. Die slag van die botsing het albei voertuie oor die pad tot in die veld langs die vulstasie geslinger. ’n Noodhelikopter is ook uitgestuur, maar al die beseerdes was toe reeds per ambulans weggeneem. Daar was reeds etlike noodlottige botsings by hierdie aansluiting op die R27. Die susters het nog een oorlewende broer wat op Kimberley bly. Gladys se begrafnis is Dinsdag op Stanford gehou terwyl Michilina en Ansie Woensdag op Napier begrawe is. – Weslander Droom jy daarvan om ’n joernalis te wees?

Dagga confiscated at Post Office JANINE VAN DER RIET A Rasta man was caught with 1,5 kg dagga after he collected a dagga package sent to him from Somerset West to his local post office in Genadendal. He might have thought the risk of being caught would be smaller if he orders his dagga through the post, as the SA Post Offices are not allowed to open any packages. But in this case an alert employee realised something about the package was ‘off’, and contacted the Overberg SAPS K9 Unit. The employee had seen the parcel arrive on Wednesday 9 July. It looked like any other parcel, but the employee soon realised that the parcel reeked of dagga. The Overberg K9 unit arrived on the scene and sent the police dogs to identify the parcel, to which the dogs reacted positively. According to the police, the “waiting game” then began.
5 Baboon monitors back on duty HermanusTimes
Nuus News
A man was caught with 1,5 kg dagga in Genadendal. WO Steven Koen and his colleagues waited until closing time on Wednesday, but the person collecting the package, did not arrive. The K9 members returned to Hermanus and went back to Genadendal early Thursday morning and hid away until the man arrived a few minutes later to collect the package addressed to him. The man appeared in the Caledon Magistrate Court the follow-
ing day. In the mean time, the K9 unit followed up on the sender’s address, which led them to Somerset West, where they established that the address was false. The Hermanus Times asked an expert lawyer in criminal law about the charges laid against the suspect. Adrian Louw from Adrian Louw & Associates Attorneys says the recipient of the packet was the indicated addressee, thus he must have ordered the stuff. “I think he knew what he was getting and has taken possession of illegal substances. On the other hand, if you are told of an unsolicited, surprise package for you, you can have a solid defence of not having the required criminal mind “mens rea” and would be acquitted if the court finds your version reasonable that an opponent or enemy sent you this. “One can of course refuse a package and return to sender,” says Louw.
ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Baboons are still up to monkey business in Voëlklip, but the Overstrand Municipality wasted no time before stepping in to clean up after them. Resident Almarie Hugo says she was impressed by the quick response from the municipality over the weekend. “Ever since the baboon monitors have been less visible, it has been war in Voëlklip. The baboons are up and down the street. My poor dogs are going hysterical. “It should quieten down this week though, as the monitors have returned to work. “A few days ago the baboons had the audacity to come right into my garage, where they would steal anything from a bag. Luckily the dogs have kept them from entering our home; I even had one sitting right in my front door a while ago. “Over the weekend some of the residents, whom I assume went away, left some garbage bins outside in the street. The baboons were quick to tip them over and created
a big mess in the area.” Hugo called on the municipality early on Saturday to let them know about the refuse, but didn’t expect to see them on the scene. “I figured I would walk down and clean it up myself, but it wasn’t even ten minutes before some municipal workers arrived and cleaned up the area. “I think we can be really proud of the fantastic team we have working for us.” According to Leon Steyn, environmental specialist at the Overstrand Municipality, the baboon monitors are back at work as of Monday morning. “We had to renegotiate salaries as the programme is now funded by Working for the Coast. There are currently 14 monitors on duty, with two more to add to their numbers this week. “Their weekday hours are from 07:00 to 19:00 in winter and 06:00 to 20:00 in summer. On weekends they are on duty from 08:00 and 17:00.” Steyn says the group who cleaned up over the weekend is part of the active team under Area Manager Don Kearney.
HAWSTON SE JEUG SE DROME VIR DIE TOEKOMS: Die Hawstonbiblioteek het die afgelope twee weke hul jaarlikse vakansiepro gram aangebied by die Thusongsentrum. Die kinders het elke dag ontbyt en middagete ge kry en dan die dag spandeer aan verskillende aktiwiteite. Een van hul opdragte was om, in groepe, hul droom vir Hawston uit te beeld met herwinbare produkte. Daar is verskeie groot drome na die tafel gebring, onder ande re dié groepie wat graag ’n kollege sou wou sien in hul gemeenskap sodat daar geleentheid is vir verdere opleiding, maar ook sodat die ouer garde hulself verder kan oplei.
Dié groepie se droom vir Hawston is ’n hospitaal sodat hulle beter toegang tot gesondheidsdienste het, ’n botaniese tuin wat nie net die gebied sal verfraai nie, maar ook meer toeriste sal lok sowel as ’n bioskoop waar die jongmense hul self op ’n gesonde wyse kan ver maak.
Die Overstrandburgemeester, Nico lette BothaGuthrie, het ook ’n draai gemaak by die Thusongsen trum. Saam met haar is (agter, van links) Ronel Salie van die Thusong sentrum, Belinda May, van die Hawstonbiblioteek, die burgemees ter en twee vrywilligers, Lynette Fourie en Loretta Jacobs.
BOUCHARD FINLAYSON WITHOUT A NAME: A case of theft was opened after two solid brass signage plates worth R60 000 were stolen from Bouchard Finlayson Winery on the R320 HemelenAarde Road on 25 June. The Hermanus Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for the plates. Contact the investigating officer Constable Simphiwe Prusent on 028 313 7000.

Walking wine tour Tuesday saw the launch of a unique Hemel-en-Aarde Village walking wine tour. The concept is the brainchild of Teressa Jones, previously manager of the Hermanus Tourism office, who subsequently started Magenta Tours with her husband François. Finding guides to manage this tour came to Teressa when she assisted at Montavigus College with the training of tour guides and saw the potential in Siso Louw and Wiseman Nogquala. On Tuesday, Louw and Nogquala participated in a practice run of the tour with the ‘tourists’ being the local media and guest house owners. The walking wine tour starts at Hermanuspietersfontein, then ambles down the road to Hornbill and then Whale Haven winery, for a taste of the Bottega Family Wines paired with jam and chocolate.
The last stop is at Paul du Toit’s Wine Village. “Time is worked into the schedule to browse and shop and for the tour group to have a bite to eat at one of the eateries within the Hemel-en-Aarde Village afterwards,” says Teressa. The cost of the 2-3 hour tour is R450 pp, and includes wine tasting, a copy of the Overberg Wine Guide, and the services of a registered tour guide. Magenta Tours also offers the following tours in the Overberg area: a Hermanus Township Tour (R450pp), Hermanus Ghost tour (R200 pp, scholars R100), Cliff Path Walking Tour (R120pp), Cape Agulhas Tour (R900 pp), and the Whale Coast Tour (R750pp). (Prices are subject to change). For more information, email: info@magentatours.co.za or visit the website magentatours.wozaonline.co.za or contact Teressa on 079 959 5556.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Make a difference With Mandela Day upon us, it’s time to devote 67 minutes to do something that makes a difference to our community. Perhaps you will help clean the cliff path or your own neighbourhood, or treat someone to a special tea. Whatever form your good deed may take, it is the attitude behind the gesture and the desire to be part of an initiative that has taken hold of the whole world, that inspires you to stop for a while and show a little kindness to others. With so much crime and violence go ing on in our town, we desperately need opportunities to counteract the negative impact incidents of this nature have on all of us living here. Doing something positive for others and taking pride in our environment helps to restore the balance. Keep Mandela’s legacy alive by doing something good for those who least ex pect it.
Huis Lettie Theron is ’n juweel Huis Lettie Theron is die trots van Hermanus. My moeder wat verlede maand oorlede is, het vir die laaste klompie jare daar gebly. Ek het op verskillende dae en verskillende tye daar besoek afgelê en dit was altyd skoon, sonnig en die besige personeel was altyd vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die deernis en geduld waarmee hulle al die inwoners behandel is roerend om te ervaar. Hulle kan trots wees op hulself, hulle werk asof vir die Meester. Die baie bekwame, kalm en beredenerende bestuurder sorg dat alles goed geolie is. Marie hou die geldsake en admin goed op datum en Bets by ontvangs is baie skerp en kan binne sekondes al die inligting uitsoek uit haar goed georganiseerde lêers. Feedem, wat die skoonmaak en voedsel voorsien, se personeel is altyd netjies, vriendelik en vrolik en die etes is altyd interessant en smaaklik. Die onderhoudpersoneel hou alles in stand en hulle toon ook dieselfde omgee en geduld. Die tuin is so mooi versorg en ’n lus vir die oog. Die roostuin is uitstaande en daar is lekker paadjies waar inwoners kan loop of met ’n rystoel gestoot kan word. Waar soveel mense saambly sal daar soms klagtes wees, maar Tannie Dorothy en die huiskomitee hanteer dit spoedig en sorg vir oplossings voor dit stormagtig word. Hierdie juweel van ’n organisasie moet vir ewig behou word en die gemeenskap van Hermanus is alreeds een van die grootste pilare waarop dit staan, want die staatsubsidie is min en baie inwoners kan nie die eenheidskoste betaal nie omdat hul slegs ’n ouderdomspensioen kry (koste R5 000 – pensioen R1 200 = R4 200). Hierdie ekstra geld moet gedek word om die plek aan die gang te hou en daarom basaar, kollektes en skenkings van verskeie plekke. Ons moet almal saamwerk om die voortbestaan te verseker, want daar is soveel bejaardes wat geen ander heenkome het nie. Dit sou alreeds help as al die maatskappye op die dorp ten minste een bed borg teen ± R5 000 per maand. Testamentbemakings sal ook help al is dit hoe min. My opregte dank aan almal by Huis Lettie Theron. Dit was ’n aangename ervaring om julle so van naby te kon ervaar.

Waarheen is al die walvisse? Word hulle verdryf na stiller waters? As mens die bedrywighede van die walviskykbote dophou beteken dit seker dat die walvisseisoen aangebreek het. Of ons enige walvisse hierdie seisoen van Hermanus se kuslyn gaan sien of hoor is natuurlik ’n groot vraagteken. Tot 2 of 3 jaar gelede is ons daagliks hier by Tamatiebank in Westcliff getrakteer op die walvisse. Regdeur die nag het hulle geblaas en gespeel tot dagbreek toe, wanneer die son ’n blink streep oor die baai maak. Nie net 2 of 3 walvisse nie, nee, 3 tot 4 groepe van 4 of 5 walvisse. Dit was so aangrypend, mens kon nie anders as om stil te wees en met verwondering te luister nie. Maar dit was lank gelede. Die inwoners van Kwaaiwater en Voëlklip kan dit dalk nog tot ’n mindere mate ervaar, maar vir hoe lank nog, is die vraag? Ons arme walvisroeper wou seker verlede seisoen gereeld om hulp roep uit frustrasie omdat hy slegs een of twee walvisse die hele dag gesien het en daarom nie geweet het waarheen hy die massas nuuskierige toeriste kon beduie om ’n walvis te sien nie! ’n Vriend vlieg weekliks met sy ligte vliegtuig oor Walkerbaai. Volgens hom het die walvisgetal in die baai van ongeveer 220 vier jaar gelede tot ’n skamele 75 verlede jaar gekrimp. Ons almal weet waarheen die walvisse vlug - na De Kelders en om Danger Point na die strande by De Hoop. Volgens my vliegtuigvriend het die walvisse verlede seisoen by De Hoop ingeryg gelê soos sardiens in ’n blik. Dis logies dat die walvisse eerder die stille waters van De Hoop sal verkies bo die dreunende bote in Walkerbaai, wat heeldag soos brommers om hulle koppe zoem en hulle hoogs sensitiewe gehoor irriteer. Van die buitelandse toeriste het my vertel dat die walvisbote glad nie die voorgeskrewe afstand van 50 meter vanaf die naaste walvis handhaaf nie en dikwels tot teenaan die walvisse vorder, boonop sonder om enjins af te skakel. Hulle staaf hierdie bewerings met foto’s en videos geneem van ongeveer 4 tot 5 meter. Ons Liewe Vader in Sy wysheid stuur jaarliks vir ons die walvisse en verwag sekerlik van ons om hulle met verantwoordelikheid te ervaar en te geniet, maar ons verkies om hulle teenwoordigheid te misbruik tot ons korttermyn voordeel, eerder as om die langtermyn voordeel van hulle teenwoordigheid raak te sien. Ja, die skrif is aan die muur, ons is besig om die grootste trekpleister vir toeriste na ons mooi dorp te verdryf na stiller strande. Gaan ons betyds wakkerskrik of is dit reeds te laat?
FANIE DE JAGER WESTCLIFF
Percy Heywood, MD of Percy Tours says: Personally, I collect loads of data on the whales, as a lot of my business depends upon when the whales arrive and leave and how many are here. Percy Tours books 100s of whale watching boat trips every year and I personally also conduct many whale watching walking tours along the cliff tops, from Grotto to the New Harbour – as well as book kayaking trips and Cessna flights over them. My data shows that over the last three years the very first whale watching boat trips have gone out in the first week of June and until the first week of December every year. This is a very important point because many people (tourists and tourism companies) think that the whale season is much shorter (Aug to Nov) and we get loads of calls asking are the whales here – which truly frustrates the hell out of us all because many websites quote completely incorrect rubbish information. The whale boats will not go out and conduct trips unless you are guaranteed to see whales. Evan Austin flies over the whales and regularly posts numbers on his Facebook page. His count at the start of this season on 28 June was: 12 humpback whales, 24 southern right whales, school of dolphins and 6 great white sharks. And that would certainly not be the entire bay, just a small section of it. Personally – I have seen very good numbers of whales in the last three weeks. I was at Sievers Point (which is in the Marine Reserve) on Sunday 13 July with a group of American tourists for 90 minutes and we saw well over 20 whales – many very close into the breakers and we were very lucky to see a mother and a tiny baby about the size of a dolphin very close to the cliffs. I would say that just from looking out to sea for the last two weeks that there must be over 40 to 50 whales in the bay this week – and probably more. As there were so many whales there on Sunday, I could not tear away my highly excited tourists from the cliff tops, even though we were all starving hungry and ready for lunch. We then sat in the window of Lemon Butta for an hour and while eating our lunch we saw over 15 whales (near and far) and certainly different whales than the ones that we had seen at Sievers Point; four were really close in to Roman Rock. From the records that I have, the highest number of whales spotted in one day in October a few years ago was 198 whales, and there would easily be more as mating groups are easily obscured by them being on top of each
other, so I would guess that that number would be about 250 to 300 in Walker Bay. As for the question, are there lower numbers – that’s a good question – personally I would say that the numbers in Walker Bay are slowly increasing each year. The scientists who collect data are seeing a rapid annual increase of between 7% to 10% per year, meaning that their numbers are doubling every decade, which is really excellent news and a fact that we humans should be very proud about, as they were nearly hunted to extinction only 50 years ago. This is an excellent conservation success story and let’s face it, there are not many of those on the planet. What I think really needs to happen in Hermanus is that Evan Austin and/or another plane/s, should be paid by the Overstrand Municipality and/or other eco–friendly organisations to weekly count the whales. The whales are a huge draw card for Hermanus and the whole tourism industry, so it is in the whole town’s interest that this research is done all the time. Only this important data would really tell us what numbers are truly occurring. Robin Alcock from Southern Right Charters responds: For the 2014 season specifically, we have found a significant increase in whale sightings so far, however it is too early in the season at this point to discuss whale numbers for the year, particularly for the areas mentioned in the letter, as we do not operate in these areas. When the boat is stationary it is not uncommon for southern right whales, known for being curious, to often come right up to, underneath and around the boat. Furthermore, the practice of shutting down engines while with the whales is not permitted and would be deemed illegal to do so. Engines are kept in neutral at all times around whales.

Support of Mayor appreciated I would like to thank Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie for the encouragement and support she has given the Cape Town Holocaust Centre in bringing the Anne Frank: A History for Today exhibition to Hermanus. Her speech at the opening of the exhibition was thoughtful, wise and insightful. We would also like to extend our thanks to Elize and the staff at the municipality for their support in the organisation and logistics of bringing the exhibition to Her-
manus. Thank you for arranging for lunchtime screenings of the documentary The Short Life of Anne Frank so that the councillors and general staff would not miss the opportunity to view this special film. This was a wonderful initiative. The people of the Overstrand are indeed fortunate to have a person of her calibre and integrity at the helm of their very special “ship”.

Plea for pet food
Dankbaar vir omgee
The main objectives of The Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), founded in 1969, are to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal welfare in the area. Most of our work is geared towards servicing the animals of the poor who are unable to afford to pay for their sick animals. Abandoned and maltreated animals also are cared for and hopefully rehomed. We have our own kennels and cattery which can house up to 40 dogs and puppies and the same number of cats and kittens. The society is entirely funded by donations, grants, requests, etc. received from the public. We have a welfare shop which sells goods donated by the public. No subsidies are received from government. There has been an enormous growth in population in recent years in especially the townships and informal settlements with a resultant growth in animals that need help. It is for this reason that we ask for donations of dog and cat food to enable us to help the dogs and cats in need.
Aan my Skepper van die heelal. My dank vir elke skone more en nuwe dag. Dankie aan dr. L.A.P.A Munnik asook Arnold van A. Steward apteek vir hul tegemoetkoming in my nood as ’n bejaarde. Dankie ook aan Pat van Sandbaai vir liefde en Sondag kuiers. Jill van Hermanus vir haar belangstelling. Pam van Hermanus vir haar verblyf verskaf sedert 2006. Henry en Tossie van Onrusrivier vir hul vriendskap. Terloops, ek lees die anderdag die grappie van twee ou vriende wat gesels nadat een, soos hul sê, die “kamera moes sluk” om uit te vind wat die oorsaak van sy pyn is. Ewe vriendelik sê die ander toe “nou sien jy, jy moet nooit met jou dokter stry nie want hy het inside information”.

Haelbuie nie uitgesluit Vandag sal lesers seker weer dieselfde ou weerstorie in weerhaan se gekraai hoor, skryf Boetman van Caledon in ’n e-pos, en hy is amper reg. Die naweek is weer voor die deur en dan is dit deesdae mos bewolkte weer in die Overstrand. En ja, die wolke skuif eers Sondag ná donker verby en Maandag (Bloumaandag ingesluit) skyn die son asof hy betaal word. Wasgoed kan weer op die draad kom. Wat Boetman nié verstaan nie is die koue suidewind wat deesdae warm weer indra wyl ysige koue weer uit die noordweste inkom. Dit hoort mos andersom, reken hy. Daar is twee redes, kan Weerhaan verduidelik. Onthou dat Sutherland in die winter die koudste plek in die Kaapland is en die noordwes kom soos die kraai vlieg netjies oor die gebied waar mense toesak om sterre te kyk omdat koue bolug ’n wolklose naghemel skep. Maar omdat daar nie wolke is nie kan die meeste grondhitte die ruimte in ontsnap en die koue val asof uit ’n oop yskasdeur weer terug aarde toe. Die bietjie warm vog vorm egter sy eie wolke en dryf via Ceres en Worcester reguit Hermanus toe. Dieselfde gebeur nie met die suidewind nie. Die see kry ook son en die bietjie hitte wat warmer is
as Sutherland se koue bring vir ons Sondag 3 °C warmer as Vrydag se weer kuswaarts. Vir ons vissermanne is dit nie ’n goeie wind nie want die warm water vou teen die kus onder druk van die suidewind onder die oppervlak in en maak die water te koud vir hengel. Die kanse is goed dat die reën tot Saterdagoggend aanhou. Maar garnale en ander fyn seediertjies raak skaars en dan is walvisse uiteraard nie bra spelerig nie. Omtrent 28 mm reën sal uitsak, wat nogal gewoon is vir dié tyd van die jaar. Wanneer twee uiterstes in die bolug mekaar aanvat kan hael uitsak. So ’n toestand is pas Dinsdag in die Baltiese lande gesien waar haelstene so groot soos spreekwoordelike hoendereiers in Rusland geval het. Dit terwyl mense een oomblik nog op die strande met sonsambrele rondgekuier het. As Boetman wonder waarom dit Vrydag (môre) om 14:00 14 °C is terwyl dit Sondag dieselfde tyd slegs 11 °C is terwyl die son skyn, is die antwoord dat vallende reën maar altyd die temperatuur effens opjaag.

Shop and Win festival to boost local shopping The wheels are being set in motion to run a monthly Hermanus shopping festival with the aim of encouraging more residents to shop locally. “Ultimately, the main purpose of this Shop and Win Hermanus ‘festival’ is to benefit the town – increased spending means a larger economy, improved infrastructure and a town that flourishes,” says Talal Salem from Goozi, who is spearheading the drive. “It is local businesses who support local schools, charities and the elderly. If local businesses are not supported, the shops will neither survive nor keep giving their support, or present a variety of merchandise at competitive prices.”
At recent meetings in May and June, attended by many shop owners in Hermanus, the concept and mechanics of Shop and Win were discussed and analysed. The ultimate goal is to get as many of these businesses to come on board by sponsoring a monthly shoppers’ premium prize of between R350 and R950. “So, whenever shoppers support these stores, they stand a chance of winning a monthly prize. Depending on the number of participants, the total amount could be quite substantial: if 20 shops participate, it would amount to up to R20 000’s worth of prizes or vouchers to be won every month,” said Salem. Frans van Rensburg from Hermanus Pharmacy who also represents Hermanus Business Chamber at the meetings, gave feedback about a survey that was conducted among a selection of businesses and showed that businesses cannot rely solely on tourist spending to keep the wheels turning. The survey revealed that not much spending is done by the crowds who come during the Whale Festival or over Easter weekend. “This is disconcerting, as those are times
when Hermanus sees an influx of tourists. It means that tourists are not spending their money in the town, or are only spending it at restaurants and with vendors.” The survey also shed light on local spending habits. The number-one item people drive over the mountain for is for household goods. The biggest factors influencing shoppers are also availability of stock, price and service. Other concerns raised at the June meeting included weekend and public holiday trading hours. Salem reiterated that many of the above issues could be addressed if businesses would stand together. Salem says launching Shop and Win Hermanus at at least 20 shops “would be a good start, although we hope it will grow and that more businesses will come aboard”. The retailer criteria for participation in Shop and Win Hermanus are: • Locally-owned and-managed businesses; • Specialist retailers of quality merchandise and/or premium brands that offer a guarantee and/or peace of mind to customers;
• People with credibility, with a passion for their businesses and respect for their clients and employees; • Adherence to the Consumer Protection Act, and recommended retail prices/fair pricing; • A contribution of R350/R650/R950 per month towards PR, marketing and advertising to help drive the campaign. At the beginning a contribution fee did not go down well with all those attending. The initial figure was R1 000 but this was eventually amended to the present scales. According to Johan van Zyl from Hermanus Toyota, businesses should as a rule budget 1% of turnover for marketing, adding that the main objective of advertising was to inform customers and accentuate brand names. Francine Koegelenberg from the Factory Shop gives the drive a big thumbs-up: “It’s a good concept, to reward customers. And more businesses standing together will mean more publicity. So many locals are not always aware of all that is on offer and this campaign can help address that.” ) To become a part of Shop and Win Hermanus, business owners should contact Talal Salem: talal@goozi.co.za Eunice Rademeyer: eunice@goozi.co.za.

too. They offer a full range of signs, which includes a CNC router – a digital machine which can be programmed to cut out 3D designs on all sorts of materials from wood, to aluminium and dibond. Hilda and Jans say they are enjoying their new life in Hermanus and the business is an opportunity for them to do something different. They have taken over four experienced staff members from Richard Amos, the previous owner of the business.
Jans van Wyk, a mechanical engineer, and his artist wife Hilda have combined their talents and taken over My Design, a design and print company in Aberdeen Street. They have just moved from Vereniging with their two children, Rigardt (12) and Karla (9). According to Hilda, they are no strangers to the Overstrand as they have been visiting the area for the past 11 years because her parents live in Kleinmond. My Design specialises in large format, high quality digital graphics for various industries. They supply posters up to 1,3 m wide; framing as well as stretching of canvas for mounting; wallpaper, which includes supplying a variety of inhouse designs as well as personalised designs for clients which they install Hilda and Jans van Wyk.
A computer consultant from Hermanus says the technical support scam artists with Indian accents are targeting Hermanus once again. She says: “A client of ours was caught out this week and lost $149. We have had at least another two clients that have lost R3 500.” The consultant, who owns a local computer company, says: “These scam artists are very rude and frighten people into believing that they have viruses on their computers and that their Microsoft licence has expired.” The consultant raising the alarm, says: “I work for a client four days a week and have been answering her phone. This client gets a call once or twice a week from these people. My mom also gets a call once or twice a month.” She says they seem to target elderly people and bully and scare them into acting against their better judgment. “This con artist swore at my client and drove her to tears. I have warned my other elderly clients.”
They tell you that they can fix your computer problem, however, they need to remote control your computer. Once they gain access, they create havoc and you pay them to unlock your own computer. In December last year, the Hermanus Times reported on the same scam when two residents were nearly caught out by these con artists. Kyle Steenkamp from Maxitec Internet Services said there was a similar scam in Hermanus at the end of 2011. The scammers tell people there is a Windows security issue and prompt them to open their Windows Events Calendar. He said this is the warning signal, as it enables the scammer to log into your computer and create fake pop-up error messages. Victims are assured the problem can be fixed if they pay a certain amount of money in US Dollars. Lt Fadila September from Hermanus Police says if residents know there is nothing wrong with their computer and have not lodged a complaint, they should not take no notice of people calling to tell them otherwise.
Clothing Bank opens new branch in Kleinmond The Clothing Bank (TCB), a non-profit organisation aimed at upliftment and sharing of business skills with unemployed mothers, is opening a branch at the Mthimkhulu Village in Kleinmond. They are in the process of recruiting suitable candidates for their two -year business and life skills training programme and are holding an open day on Tuesday 22 July at 10:00 at 102 Main Road, Kleinmond. In essence the programme entails that major clothing retailers donating their excess stock to The Clothing Bank. The donated goods are then sold to the women in the programme for a fraction of the cost, which can be resold into their communities. The benefits are twofold, the women are able to earn an in-
come while they also learn business skills and how to run a small retail trading operation. According to Tracey Gilmore (Operations: The Clothing Bank) the women may spend a maximum of R3 500 a month with the Clothing Bank from which they earn an average profit of R4 500. “We limit the buying because we want to support as many women as our supply allows and we believe that R4 500 can take care of her family’s basic needs for the duration of the training.” The recruiting process to find suitable candidates is done in three stages. “Recruiting the right candidate is important and we like to recruit through referral partners (mainly other NGOs and government agencies) who have established relationships
with women and refer suitable candidates to us. “We ensure, through our three-stage recruitment process, that we recruit women who are self-motivated and are willing to put in the hard work needed on their journey towards financial and social independence. Beneficiaries need to be self-motivated, have an aptitude for business, unemployed, mothers with dependent children and South African citizens.” According to Gilmore, TCB has trained over 500 women in the past 4,5 years and these women have generated in excess of R1,6 million profit collectively. They currently have branches in Observatory, Midrand and Paarl. BBBEE scorecard The Clothing Bank has been
certified by Empowerdex as a 3rd Party Enterprise Development Service Provider, which means that they have verified that the work we do qualifies as Enterprise Development and that any donations (in the form of garments, services, grants, loans) can be claimed as Enterprise Development Points. Donations also qualify for bonus points as our entrepreneurs are classified as Exempt Micro Enterprises (Turnover of less than R5 M pa) and they are 100% black women owned businesses. This means that donors can claim the full rand value of contributions multiplied by a factor of 125%. ) For more detailed information about the Clothing Bank, their website is: www.theclothingank.org.za or call 0 021 447 3334.

Beduiwel die bul jou beleggingsplan? Beleggers voel toenemend ongemaklik oor die styging wat aandelemarkte die afgelope vyf jaar getoon het en wroeg oor of die beer binnekort gaan toeslaan en die bul gaan verwilder. Dit was Sir John Templeton, ’n bekende en baie suksesvolle waardebelegger van die 20ste eeu, wat gesê het: “Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on scepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell.” Het aandeelpryse reeds euforiese hoogtepunte bereik? Die JSE indeks van alle aandele (JSE ALSI) het die afgelope vyf jaar teen ’n saamgestelde jaarlikse koers van naastenby 21% gegroei oftewel 176% kumulatief. Soos Templeton uitwys, word korreksies dikwels voorafgegaan deur irrasionele euforie. Die jongste vertoning van die JSE is ’n skaflike, dog kwalik aardskuddende, lopie inaggenome die 33% p.j. styging in die JSE ALSI gedurende die vyf-jaar periode tot Mei 2008 (324% kumulatief) waarna die skuldkrisis in die VSA dit laat tuimel het. Beteken dit aandelebeurse gaan nog verder styg? Nie noodwendig nie. Maar ook nie noodwendig dat ’n yslike korreksie op hande is nie. Die volatiliteitsindeks, SAVI Top 40, is ’n drie-maande vooruitskatting van risiko (gemeet deur pryswisselvalligheid) in die Suid-Afrikaanse aandelebeurs (meer spesifiek die JSE Top 40 aandeleprysindeks) en dien as ’n barometer wat vrees en negatiewe sentiment onder beleggers in die plaaslike aandelebeurs weerspieël. Dit is soortgelyk aan die meer bekende Amerikaanse VIX wat ’n 30-dae vooruit-
skatting van die S&P 500 aandeleprysindeks se volatiliteit bied. Albei indekse toon ’n geringe styging in verwagte volatiliteit. Hulle vlakke is egter steeds baie laag vergeleke met wat dit net voor en tydens vorige krisistye was. Beleggers moet egter nie hierdeur té gerusgestel word nie. Marksentiment kan in ’n oogwink verander. Wanneer rentekoerse opwaarts aangepas word deur monetêre owerhede te midde van swak ekonomiese groei, kan dit ’n negatiewe uitwerking op aandelemarkte hê. Maatskappywinste wat reeds onder druk is a.g.v. gedempte verbruiksbesteding, swak hulpbronpryse en arbeidsontwrigting word laer gedwing deur hoër skuldkoste. ’n Gedeelte van die massas geld wat finansiële owerhede in ontwikkelde lande wêreldwyd skep om verdere finansiële krisisse te voorkom, vind ’n heenkome in lande waar opbrengskoerse aantrekliker is. Gevolglik is aandeelpryse in etlike ontluikende markte, insluitend SA, hoog opgejaag. Enige beduidenis dat sulke geldinspuitings afgeskaal kan word (soos in die geval van die VSA) kan aanleiding gee tot aansienlike uitvloeie uit Suid-Afrika en ander ontluikende lande. Sulke kapitaalvloeie is baie onbestendig en kan tot betekenisvolle markkorreksies lei. Nadat die internasionale beleggingstatus van Suid-Afrikaanse regeringskuld in Junie 2014 deur Standard & Poor’s afgegradeer is, is SA staatseffekte nou net een kerfie bo wat internasionaal as spekulatiewe of “gemors” effekte beskou word. Dié afgraderings dra ook daartoe by dat Suid-Afrika al minder aantreklik vir oorsese beleggers raak. Die moontlikheid van ’n regstelling teen heersende beursprysvlakke kan dus nie geignoreer word nie en die voortgesette be-
stendigheid van markte kan as broos beskou word. Om te knies oor wanneer ’n aansienlike korreksie sal plaasvind is onproduktief. Dis onvoorspelbaar. Wees voorbereid vir enige gebeurlikheid. Stof jou langtermynbeleggingsplan af en maak seker dat jou portefeulje se samestelling in lyn is daarmee. Een van die belangrikste funksies van jou beleggingsplan moet immers wees om toepaslike teikengewigte vir die vernaamste bateklasse soos aandele, eiendom, effekte en kontant daar te stel. Hierdie gewigte word deur jou langtermynbeleggingsdoelwitte en risikovoorkeure bepaal en nie deur beursvlakke nie. Soos Warren Buffett sê: “Predicting rain doesn’t count; building arks does.” ’n Beleggingsplan is as’t ware ’n ark wat jou kan beskerm teen die ontstuimigheid van die markte. Doelbewuste en deurdagte korttermyn- taktiese afwykings van ’n beleggingsplan is goed en wel, maar waak daarteen om deur die sentiment van die trop meegesleur te word. NOTA: Hiedie artikel behels nie uitdruklike advies nie. Dit is wys om altyd voor mens belê met jou beleggingsadviseur te skakel. Antoinette Naudé is ’n portefeuljebestuurder by PSG, Hermanus

Gansbaai is Sakekamer van die Jaar Dié eer is aan die Gansbaai Sakekamer toegeken by ’n gala-aand tydens die AHi Wes-Kaapse kongres, gehou by die Allée Bleue Wynlandgoed naby Franschhoek. Dié kamer is by dié konferensie aangewys as die Wes-Kaapse Sakekamer van die Jaar. Die Gansbaai Sakekamer is verteenwoordig deur Fanie Bothma, voorsitter, en bestuurslid Neels Claassen. Bothma sê die toekenning was onverwags en ’n groot verrassing. “Ons het met trots die mooi trofee in ontvangs geneem terwyl die vele konferensiegangers ons staande toegejuig het.” Sover hy weet is dit die eerste keer dat hierdie eer die Gansbaai Sakekamer te beurt val. Die gasspreker by die geleentheid was Alan Winde, minister van landbou, ekonomiese ontwikkeling en toerisme. “Hy het duidelik sy prioriteite uitgespel,” sê Bothma. Dit het ten doel dat die regering die klimaat moet skep vir besighede om te floreer. As besighede gemaklik kan sake doen, dan groei die ekonomie en word meer mense in diens geneem. Daarna het Christo van der Rheede, uitvoerende hoof van die AHi, ook ’n boodskap gebring oor die knelpunte in die ekonomie en die sake waarop die AHi fokus. Hy het sterk beklemtoon dat plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling die prioriteit by alle munisipaliteite behoort te wees. AHi-voorsitter, Piet Badenhorst, het daarna verskeie sakekamers bekendgestel met ’n beskrywing van wat hulle bereik het. Bothma vertel: “Daarna is nog ’n sakekamer se aktiwiteite aan die gehoor voorgehou – sonder om hulle naam te noem. Heelwat gewag is gemaak van wat alles bereik is deur hierdie plattelandse sakekamer. Badenhorst het melding gemaak van volgehoue harde werk en hoe daar met baie deursettingsvermoë verskeie projekte die afgelope jaar afgehandel is. Hy het ook verwys na die aansteeklike positiwiteit wat by dié sakekamer heers en dat hy die sakekamer aanmoedig om daarop voort te bou.” “En toe word Gansbaai Sakekamer opgeroep na die podium!”
Bestuurslede van Gans baai sakekamer is, ag ter: Neels Claassen, Ben Gericke (tesourier), Jori ne van der Merwe en DJ Heyns. Voor is Glen da Kitley (sekretaresse), Fanie Bothma (voorsitter) en René Beukes (onder voorsiter). In ’n latere boodskap wat Bothma van Jannie Kruger, Streeksbemarker van die AHi ontvang het, het Kruger beaam dat die Gansbaai Sakekamer sedert sy affiliasie by die AHi groot hoogtes bereik het. Die AHi is in die afgelope tyd intens betrokke by die aanbieding van entrepreneurskursusse vir voornemende entrepreneurs en ook vir die skoolgaande jeug in Gansbaai. Mentors is ook onlangs deur die Gansbaai Sakekamer benoem om saam met die AHi advies en steun te verleen aan die entrepreneurs wat die kursus voltooi het. Bothma sê gedurende ’n besoek deur Christo van der Rheede aan Gansbaai, waar hy met die bestuur van die kamer en sakelui in die dorp gepraat het, het hy onder meer gesê dat sakekamers ’n kritieke rol het om sakelui te mobiliseer en saam met hul munisipaliteit betrokke te wees by die ekonomiese welvaart van hul dorp, sê Bothma. Van der Rheede het genoem ’n sakekamer wat in voeling is met die ekonomiese polsslag waarin hy funksioneer, is ’n aanwins en trek lede. Volgens Bothma staan die ledetal van die Gansbaai Sakekamer, wat in 1999 gestig is, tans op 78, teenoor die 46 van verlede jaar, Bothma is tans in sy 10de jaar as voorsitter. Vir verdere inligting oor die sakekamer, of om aan te sluit epos: info@gansbaaibusiness chamber.co.za
Piet Badenhorst (AHivoorsitter in die WesKaap) en Leonie van der Merwe (kantoorhoof) het die skild oorhandig aan Fanie Bothma (voorsitter: Gansbaai Sake kamer) met die aankondiging dat Gans baai Sakekamer aangewys is as Sakeka mer van die Jaar. ) Die president van die AHi, Ben Deysel, kom saam met Christo van der Rheede, uitvoerende hoof van die AHi, op ’n wel willendheidsbesoek na Gansbaai op 4 September om hul verdere betrokkenheid by die sakekamer te bevestig. Ben Deysel sal as geleentheidspreker by ’n sakedinee optree.

Kom kyk na die Kat! ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Wat gebeur as jy drie mense met dieselfde passie bymekaargooi? Van die beste kinderteater wat die Overstrand kan bied. Marhette van Huyssteen van Vere Toneel, Celeste Slabber-Coriston van Loud Lemon en André Barkley van Cookie Factory Film Production is vandeesweek te sien in Die Gestewelde Kat, ’n plaaslike produksie met dié drie plaaslike akteurs op Sprokkelster-teater se verhoog. Marhette het op Tukkies studeer, waarna sy vir ’n ruk lank televisie-rolle vertolk het. Ná sy getroud is, het sy na Vanderbijlpark getrek waar sy Engels en drama by verskillende skole aangebied het. Sy het ook ’n tyd lank vir die tydskrif Finesse gewerk, voor sy na Hermanus verhuis het. “Hier het ek vir Louise van Zyl van Sprokkelster en vir Celeste ontmoet en ook Vere Toneel begin. Ek bied tans drama-klasse onder dié vaandel by Laerskool Hermanus aan.” Sy is verder ook by verskeie plaaslike teaterproduksies betrokke. Celeste het self ook sowat ’n jaar-en-’n-half gelede na Hermanus getrek, nadat sy sowat 15 jaar lank skoolgegee het. “Ek was ’n onderwyser in die
Paarl en het toe na Riviersonderend getrek. Hier ek saam met CapeNature begin om opvoedkundige kinderteater aan te bied. Ons het gefokus op herwinning en natuurbewaring.” Tydens haar twee jaar in Riviersonderend het sy ook haar eerste een-vrou-stuk, Gif, geskryf sowel as ’n jeugroman. “Kinderteater is absoluut ’n passie vir my en dit was wonderlik om met Louise en Marhette te skakel, wat albei dieselfde passie het.” Die drie het saam hul eerste produksie, Die Keiserin se nuwe Klere, met Louise in die titelrol, by Sprokkelster aangebied. Hulle het onlangs met André kennis gemaak. André het drama aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch studeer en werk tans as ’n videograaf onder die vaandel van sy maatskappy, Cookie Factory Film Production. Die nuwe produksie is slegs een van die projekte waaraan hulle werk. Kaartjies vir Die Gestewelde Kat, Donderdag- en Vrydagoggend om 11:30 by Sprokkelster-teater, kos R50. Blokbesprekings vir skole is beskikbaar. Vir meer inligting en besprekings bel: 082 786 3966 of 083 708 4917.

Nature matters Did you know: The Cape dwarf chameleon, Bradypo dion pumilum, is aptly named verkleurmannetjie in Afrikaans. It is only found in the extreme Western Cape, including the Overstrand. Bradypodion means slowfooted, and this curious creature has a sway ing gait that helps it to blend with its background, appearing like a leaf in the breeze. This chameleon can also change its colour at will, making it a master of camouflage – which helps it to catch prey and also tricks its predators. Although these little ‘dragons’ are not considered endangered, they are now very rarely seen in our gardens as they fall prey to domestic cats and in secticides wipe out their favourite insect lunch.
Dwarf chameleons can be found in gardens in the Overstrand.

Ford unveils poised new Focus ST QUICKPIC
The most advanced Focus ST yet offers new chassis control technologies, tuned suspension, steering and a bespoke tyre specification that ensure a more poised, responsive and refined driving experience. The 184 kW 2,0-litre EcoBoost delivers 0-100 km/h in 6,5 seconds, fuel efficiency of 6,8 F/100 km and 158 g/ km CO2. For the first time AutoStart-Stop is offered in an ST, improving fuel efficiency by six percent and making it the most fuel-efficient petrol Focus ST ever. Ford’s 2,0-litre EcoBoost engine uses turbocharging, twin-independent variable cam timing technology, and high-pressure direct fuel-injection to deliver uncompromising performance. Peak power is available at 5 500 r/min; 360 Nm of torque is available from 2 000–4 500 r/min and maximum speed is 248 km/h. The six-speed manual transmission offers a performance-oriented, short-throw shift. The gear ratios – exclusive to ST – deliver rapid acceleration in lower gears and comfortable cruising at speed. “The new Focus ST delivers an even more sophisticated balance of performance, driving dynamics, refinement and style – the core of Ford’s Sports Technologies DNA,” said Joe Bakaj, vice-president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. The Focus ST also will benefit from technology and craftsmanship first revealed earlier this year for the new Ford Focus – the world’s best-selling global nameplate.** The sporty and aggressive new five-door model will offer class-leading driver assistance technologies and connectivity features including the SYNC 2 in-car connectivity system.

Jaguar FType Coupé leaps into SA showrooms MOTORPRESS The all-aluminium F-Type Coupé – the most dynamically capable, performancefocused sports car that Jaguar has ever produced – is now in South African Jaguar showrooms, with three versions on offer: F-Type R, F-Type S and the F-Type. “The introduction of the Jaguar F-Type Coupé completes the process started here just under a year ago when we launched the FType Convertible, and with both open and closed versions of this dynamic two-seater now on offer, we are poised to dominate the sports car market in South Africa,” said Kevin Flynn, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and sub-Sahara Africa. “The convertible is already the best-selling open sports car in the country, and we expect the Coupé to have broader appeal and will outsell convertible by about two to one. It is more hard-core than its open-top sibling, while the V8R flagship represents the zenith of our philosophy of making innovative, seductive performance cars. ” The range-topping F-Type R Coupé is powered by Jaguar’s 5.0 F supercharged V8 engine in 405 kW/680 Nm tune, delivering acceleration to 100 km/h in 4,2 seconds, and a top speed of 300 km/h (electronically limited). The F-Type S Coupé and F-Type Coupé are powered by Jaguar’s 3.0F V6 supercharged petrol engines in 280 kW/460 Nm and 250 kW/450 Nm forms respectively, giving 0100 km/h in 4,9/5,3 seconds and top speeds of 280/260 km/h. The F-Type Coupé embodies the uncompromised design vision of the stunning Jaguar C-X16 concept sports coupé that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, its dramatic cabin-rearward stance being defined by three heartlines. The first two heartlines – shared with F-Type Convertible – form the muscular front and rear wings, the third heartline being the sweeping Coupé roof profile which provides an unbroken silhouette while emphasising the visual drama of the tapered cabin sitting between powerful rear haunches.
Jaguar’s expertise in aluminium technology has enabled the design vision for the FType Coupé to be delivered in a lightweight yet extremely strong bodyshell. Torsional rigidity for all F-Type Coupé variants is 33 000 Nm/degree – greater than in any previous production Jaguar – this rigidity providing the basis for excellent dynamic attributes. The F-Type Coupé’s body side is made from a single piece aluminium pressing, probably the most extreme cold-formed aluminium body side in the automotive industry, eliminating the requirement for multiple panels and cosmetic joints. A deployable rear spoiler sits within the tapered shut-line of the F-Type Coupé, while slim, wrap-around LED lamps flank a beautifully engineered tailgate, with optional powered open/close functionality. To deliver assured, progressive handling in line with its 405 kW output, the range-topping F-Type R Coupé features a bespoke suspension set-up and new dynamic technologies. Sports suspension with Adaptive Dynamics damping and Configurable Dynamic Mode further enhance the F-Type R’s immediacy of response, providing an exhilarating and involving driving experience. Every F-Type Coupé model utilises Jaguar’s eight-speed close-ratio Quickshift transmission which is optimised for sporting performance, with full manual sequential control from the central SportShift selector or steering wheel-mounted paddles. The F-Type Coupé range complements the existing three-car F-Type Convertible model line-up; the V6-engined F-Type (250 kW) and F-Type S (280 kW), and the 364 kW F-Type V8 S. “With F-Type Coupé, the Jaguar engineering team has exceeded our considerable target of building a car that delivers even more driver reward than the acclaimed F-Type Convertible. Engineering an exceptionally rigid all-aluminium Coupé body structure was the key to achieving this, as it’s the fundamental basis for enhanced dynamic attributes. The result is that the F-Type Coupé is the most dynamically capable and involving Jaguar we’ve ever built.”

tors met enjins tot 1,6 l geswaai toe hy sy Yato-geborgde Toyota Etios R2 tot nog ’n klinkende klasoorwinning aangevoer het. Botterill en sy navigator, Simon Vacy-Lyle, het die voortou vroeg op Dag 1 ingeneem. Botterill/Vacy-Lyle het Saterdag met ’n kragtige poging vorendag gekom en die gaping agter Chad van Beurden en Nico Swartz begin aanval. Botterill was teen die voorlaaste sneltrajek nog 18 sekondes agter Van Beurden, maar het die laaste grondsneltrajek voor die laaste en baie kort teersneltrajek met mening aangedurf. Die gevolg was een van die mees indrukwekkende sneltrajek-oorwinnings in die geskiedenis van Klas S1 600, aangesien Botterill ’n hele 26,3 sekondes van Van Beurden
se tyd – en die klasoorwinning – afgerokkel het. Hy het ook ’n baie kredietwaardige vyfde op die algehele punteleer geëindig. Dit was Botterill en Vacy-Lyle se vierde agtereenvolgende oorwinning, wat nie net sy status as tydrenjaer beklemtoon nie, maar ook die betroubaarheid van sy plaaslik geboude Toyota Etios R2. Botterill se jongste oorwinning plaas hom gerieflik voor in die kampioenskap, met sy naaste mededinger meer as 40 punte agter hom. Volkswagen het die vervaardigersprys vir die hersiene byeenkoms gewen. Vier van die sneltrajekte was splinternuut, hoewel die kern van die byeenkoms steeds die skrikwekkende Longmore-plantasie-sneltrajekte was.

Honda Accord: the secret manners 021 870 4601
HANJO STIER 021 312 3717
Usually I wouldn’t be this generous on a Thursday morning but you find me in a particularly good mood so I’ll let you into an insider’s tip. One of the best kept secrets of the industry and a car which almost every motoring journalist raves about – yours truly included – is the Honda Accord. As of now, there is a bit of a problem though. You see, Honda South Africa only brought the seventh and eighth generation of the Accord to our shores in January 2003 and June 2008, but this wasn’t the mainstream model which
took over America and the world with almost 20 million sales to date. What we got instead was their “Euro” model, an edgier version for markets with refined tastes. Hell, we even crowned it car of the year in 2009. Having sold roughly 8 300 units since 2003, Honda South Africa announced that its sporty merits didn’t garner the popularity they’d hope for – so the mainstream model has now replaced it. The range of engines at launch is all petrols: a 2-litre 4 cylinder iVtec (114 kW, 190 Nm), a 2.4-litre 4 cylinder iVtec (132 kW, 225 Nm) and a 3.5-litre V6 iVtec (207 kW, 339 Nm). The 2.4 motor may sound familiar from old Accord but it’s in fact a whole new engine; new block, new internals, better efficiency. It may be down on power when compared to its father, but it’s more sophisticated; power is spread through a wider rev range, there’s less screaming and it’s not as thirsty. The big vee six has full valve management and selective cylinder shut-off to save fuel, running on three, four or six cylinders. All new Accords are only available with automatic gearboxes and, as before, front wheel drive.
The V6 gets an extra cog over the four cylinder’s five speeds and Honda has also blessed it with active engine mounts to counter those naughty vibrations which are so inherent to a vee motor. Honda South Africa sells Accord as three models with escalating levels of trim. The 2.0 Elegance costs R389 000, a 2.4 Executive is R449 000 and the 3.5 V6 Exclusive will set you back almost R550 000. “For a HONDA!?!” whines someone on Facebook. Yes, for a Honda with a V6 engine and bucket-loads of toys. The bigger ones – whose prices seem to steep – will also spoil you with keyless entry and start, adaptive cruise control, lane assist with camera, collision mitigation, active LED headlights with cornering function and high beam assist, shift paddles, a subwoofer, sunroof and rear sun blind. More importantly, the new Accord has more room than its predecessor, which should help it to win the minds of D-segment luxury sedan buyers. An estimated 80-85% of this pie is gobbled up by the perennial German trio but a Honda exec noted that “Accord owners don’t crave status and appreciate the car’s engineering.” I certainly think so.
Its appear ance, dimen sions and performance are more streamlined and gener ous, while its manners are less sporty but more comfy. PHO TO: QUICKPIC

22 HermanusTimes Mitsubishi hits supermini spot with frugal Mirage 17 July, 2014
QUICKPIC As part of an expanding footprint in South Africa, Mitsubishi Motors is gearing up for the debut of the all-new Mitsubishi Mirage in August 2014. Poised to take the fight to competitors in the budget and youth-focused A-segment, the stylish new entrylevel 5-door Japanese hatchback prides itself on providing fuel efficient, enjoyable motoring with particularly youthful appeal. A new three-model range will arrive with trusted Mitsubishi integ-
rity, reliability and practicality as well as exceptional fuel efficiency and safety. The superbly compact proportions envelop a spacious and manoeuvrable vehicle, which is an ideal everyday runabout. “Mitsubishi is renowned all over the world as one of Japan’s foremost automotive brands and we are on a resurgence in the South African market,” comments Wynand Pretorius, general manager at Mitsubishi Motors South Africa. All new Mirage derivatives will be powered by Mitsubishi’s 1,2-litre, 3-cylinder MIVEC DOHC petrol engine, mated to a 5-speed manual
transmission. Easily able to keep up with the hustle and bustle of busy city streets as well as the open roads so characteristic of South Africa, the Mirage is also highly fuel- efficient thanks to MIVEC– Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control. Average fuel economy on the combined cycle is just 4,9 litres per 100 km, allowing Mirage to punch above its weight on the fuel efficiency front. In fact, Mirage is acclaimed as the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid petrol vehicle available in the United States, a market where it is also cited as the lightest 5-door, 5-
passenger vehicle. This was achieved after an extensive weightsaving engineering process with key benefits linked directly to enhanced fuel efficiency. Impressive too is that Mirage is fitted as standard with creature comforts like keyless entry and a full complement of safety equipment including ABS, EBD and dual airbags. The new Mitsubishi Mirage will be backed by Mitsubishi Motors’ comprehensive 3-year/ 100 000 km warranty. Full range details and pricing will be announced at launch.

Golf Roundup with Julian Shaw
Greetings one and all, this week our weather played ball a little better than of late. Tuesday was ladies day as normal and we had 33 players competing in a nice friendly alliance medal. The winners were Mieke Tetley, Marge White and our ladies champion Lynne Behagg on a great 124. Wednesday was the Dave Clark Cup which is an individual stableford. Dave Clark was a prominent local businessman who owned the Eastcliff service station. He was a keen golfer and was a past Captain of Hermanus Golf club in 1962. This time around our winner was Baldy Baldwin, who was counted in from Peter Crawford on 41 points. Third place was Rein Kelder on 40 points and just behind him on 39 was our longest standing
lukgewens met hul oorwinnings. Die aand is vrolik afgesluit met ’n heerlike maaltyd geborg deur Gateway Spar.

member Robert Gillespie. Ball pool paid to 36 and there were 6 two clubs. On Saturday the weather tried to scare our members away, but they are made of sterner stuff so in the end we had nearly a hundred players braving the weather. In fact the afternoon cleared up to be a magnificent day. The format for the day was a betterball medal and our winners were Norbert Matern and Gary Gilder counted in on nett 62, counted out on the same score was Steven van Der Merwe and Hoppie Nel. Ball pool paid to 64 and there were four 2 clubs. The jackpot next week has climbed to R1 150 so make sure you go in for that one. To close off this week – one of our members went home in quite a state to his wife after a visit to the doctor. He told her that the doc had told him he can’t play golf. His wife didn’t miss a beat and replied: “So, he’s seen you play too?”. Until next week, keep calm and go golfing.
The DOGS played an Individual Stableford competition in Kleinmond on 15 July. Every DOG has its day and it was DOGSbody’s turn for the first time this year on Tuesday. He coasted in a full three lengths clear of the Ex-Pole-Dancer who was in turn four lengths ahead of the also-rans. Guest Glen is beginning to worry about the cost of golf as his bill for golf balls increases each week. A certain MacDOG also had an expensive outing following an incident involving a

Hermanus se 35-plussers span het verlede Saterdag hul eerste wedstryd in die WesKaapse liga teen Dur-Bell gespeel op die Hermanus Hoërskool B-veld. In die eerste (van drie derdes van) 20 minute was Hermanus oorheersend in alle fasette en het die stryd om die losbal telkemale gewen. In die vaster fasette het veral die Voges-broers hul krag laat geld terwyl die agterlyn baljaar het met al die spasie wat hulle gegun is. Ongelukkig het ’n uiters onnodige vertolking van die reëls deur Dur-Bell se skeidsregter gelei tot 25 strafskoppe teen Hermanus. (Elke keer as ’n “strafskop” toegeken word, kry die opponente die bal. Daar word nie geskop pale toe nie.) Slegs twee strafskoppe is teen Dur-Bell geblaas. Met die omdraaislag was Hermanus voor en het dit voorwaar gelyk of die span die wedstryd met ’n mate van gemak sou bly oorheers. Maar na die soveelste strafskop teen Hermanus en ’n uiteindelike wendrie deur Dur-
Bell het Hermanus die spit afgebyt en 2-3 verloor. (Elke drie tel net een punt en word nie verdoel nie). Drieë vir Hermanus is gedruk deur Theunis Gouws en Ivan Kotze ná ’n skouspelagtige kurktrekkerlopie deur Jurg Kuyler, wat welverdiend as die beste agterlynspeler aangekondig is. Die beste voorspeler was Rymo van Rooyen terwyl Wian Bishop die houtlepel ontvang het nadat hy met ’n oop doellyn voor hom ongelukkig oor sy eie voete gestruikel en neergeslaan het voor hy die doellyn bereik het. Spel is wel gekenmerk deur positiewe hardlooprugby wat die toeskouers waardeer het en ondersteuners het die spelers met ’n harde gejuig aangemoedig met uitroepe van “Kom, Daddy!!” en “Vat hom, Booitjie!”. Baie dankie aan Hoërskool Hermanus wat sy sportveld beskikbaar gestel het vir die dag se rugby. Die spitbraai-onthaal ná die wedstryd is iets waaroor daar eerder geswyg moet word, aldus Hermanus se inspirerende kaptein, Attie Voges.
Wian Bis hop se by nadrie, net voor die einde van die wedstryd het die skare op hete kole gehad. Ongelukkig het hy gestruikel voor die doel lyn en is ‘beloon’ met die houtlepel toeken ning.
