Chaos woed voort

JANINE VAN DER RIET

Die onluste in Grabouw duur voort en behalwe vir die verwoesting wat sedert Maandag in en om Grabouw deur betogers gesaai word, verontrief dit duisende pendelaars, besighede en onskuldige inwoners.

Sowat ’n duisend betogers het Maandagoggend die N2 by

Grabouw met brandende bande, klippe en takke versper en ook motoriste met klippe bestook.

Die rede vir die betoging, volgens ’n memorandum wat deur John Michels van die Grabouw Civics Organisation (GCO), Maandag aan die Theewaterskloofburgemeester, Chris Punt, oorhandig is, is die inwoners omge-

krap oor te min behuising, duur elektrisiteit en swak geboude paaie.

Die pad tussen Grabouw en Elgin-vallei is sedert Maandag aan en af vir verkeer gesluit.

Motoriste, vragmotors en busse moet die R44-roete, tussen Kleinmond en Gordonsbaai, gebruik.

Ander pendelaars gebruik die Caledon- of Franschhoekafritte om by hul bestemmings te kom.

Meeste pendelaars gebruik egter die R44, wat sedert die betogings in ’n verkeersknoop ontaard het, met groot dubbelwielvragmotors wat noodgedwonge die smal paaie om Rooiels moet gebruik.

‘Betogings ruk beursie’ Vervolg van bladsy 1 Maxie Steyn van Kleinmond sê die hoofstraat in Kleinmond dra baie swaar aan al die verkeer. “Dit is totaal chaoties op die oomblik.”

Jacqui Jackson, ’n eiendomsagent in Hermanus, sê dit het haar twee ure Dinsdagaand geneem om van die lughawe af Hermanus toe te ry.

“Die R44 was donker en baie besig.

Ek het agter vragmotors gesit kuslangs, en daar is geen plek om hulle verby te steek nie.”

Die Wes-Kaapse minister van onderwys, Debbie Schäfer, het Dinsdag kriminele klagtes gelê teen die organiseerders wat agter die betoging sit.

Sy sê leerders van vyf verskillende skole in die gebied kon nou al vir drie dae lank nie skool bywoon nie.

Carin van Schalkwyk Havenga, ’n inwoner van Grabouw, sê die onluste “ruk aan haar beursie”.

“My kind gaan skool in die Strand, en ons moet sover elke dag die alternatiewe roetes gebruik om hom by die skool te besorg aangesien hulle besig is met ’n toetsreeks. Behalwe vir die ekstra tyd wat dit neem, vat dit ook aan die beursie.”

Aflewerings in en om Grabouw kon sedert Maandag nie gedoen word nie. Die meeste besighede in die omgewing, insluitend die poskantoor, is tans gesluit.

Selfs brandweerdienste is toegang tot Grabouw geweier ná betogers velde aan die brand gesteek het.

Houw Hoek Inn, op die N2 tussen Grabouw en Botrivier, is ook ernstig geraak deur die stakings.

’n Sake-eienaar in Grabouw het Dinsdag gesê die onluste is lank al nie meer ’n betoging nie.

“Dit is eerder ’n klomp opportuniste wat die betoging as ’n rookskerm gebruik om spazawinkels en restaurante te roof en af te breek.”

Stephan Rodenbach, bestuurder van Houw Hoek Inn, sê sedert die N2 gesluit is, kom geen voertuie verby op dié pad nie.

“Dus word daar middagetes gemaak, maar daar is geen besoekers nie, want hulle kan nie toegang tot hier verkry nie.”

Hy sê Houw Hoek Inn moet Vrydag gasheer wees vir ’n groot konferensie, maar die konferensiegangers oorweeg nou om te kanselleer as gevolg van die betogings.

“Dit neem nou ongeveer twee uur of meer om van die Kaap by ons uit te kom, waar dit gewoonlik minder as ’n uur duur.”

Nicoli Lara du Toit, ’n inwoner van Grabouw, sê hoewel sy nie naby aan waar die onluste plaasvind, bly nie, trek die klank en dit is skrikwekkend. “Ons diere is erg getraumatiseer. Toe my aanstaande skoonma by die huis kom Maandag, het ons 10jaar oue skaaphond in pyn gelê. Dit blyk sy het geskrik vir al die geraas en van die trappe afgeval. Ons moes haar inderhaas veearts toe neem.”

Volgens die Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit word die elektrisiteit vir Grabouw nie deur die munisipaliteit nie, maar direk deur Eskom voorsien.

“Die probleme met die paaie sal ons ondersoek, wat spesifiek uitgewys

word in die memorandum,” het Punt gesê. Wat die ontevredenheid oor behuising betref, ontvang die munisipaliteit ’n baie beperkte begroting van die nasionale behuisingsdepartement waarvan die grootste gedeelte aan behuising in Grabouw bestee word.

David Morris, ’n fotograaf wat sedert die onluste uitgebreek het op die toneel is, het Woensdagoggend gesê die situasie is steeds baie gespanne.

“Selfs die media word met klippe bestook en is in die spervuur.”

Volgens luitenant Raldene Atson, is 13 mense reeds in hegtenis geneem wat winkels beroof en eiendom beskadig het.

Teen druktyd Woensdagmiddag het die onluste steeds voortgeduur. ) Protesters in and around Grabouw started a riot, forcing police members to close sections of the N2 , on and off, since Monday.

Protesters, apart from throwing stones at motorists, also threw stones at police. Earlier, police fired rubber bullets and used tear gas to disperse more than 1 000 people protesting at the Grabouw municipal offices over service delivery.

The N2 was closed at Sir Lowry’s Pass, Gordon’s Bay and close to Bot River. Motorists are rerouted and advised to use the R44 via Kleinmond and Rooiels.

The protesters handed over a memorandum listing their grievances to Theewaterskloof mayor Chris Punt.

Grievances include a lack of housing, expensive electricity supply and bad road conditions.

Vrou dood 3 dae ná brand in hospitaal JANINE VAN DER RIET Die 43-jarige Cythleen Beukman wat in ’n brand wat in die Caledonhospitaal uitgebreek het, beseer is, is Dinsdag 9 September oorlede.

Sy is op Donderdag 4 September in die Caledon-hospitaal opgeneem vir behandeling van tuberkulose.

Die brand het Saterdag 6 September in die hospitaalkamer waar Beukman gelê het, uitgebreek.

Volgens ’n betroubare bron het Beukman na bewering in die kamer ’n sigaret met ’n vuurhoutjie aangesteek terwyl sy ’n suurstofmasker gebruik het.

Die kamer het in vlamme uitgebars en volgens Beukman se familie het sy 70%-brandwonde opgedoen. Sy is na dié hospitaal se intensiewesorgeenheid oorgeplaas, maar is drie dae later oorlede.

Volgens Natasha Peterson, kommunikasie-amptenaar van die Overberg-distrik, word die ontstaan van die brand deur die Caledon-polisie ondersoek. “’n Nadoodse ondersoek is gedoen en die bevindings is aan die ondersoekbeampte deurgegee om die saak verder te ondersoek.”

Marishen Beukman, Cythleen se niggie, sê die familie is diep bedroef oor haar dood. “Ons is so in

die duister oor wat presies gebeur het. Ons het gehoor dat sy glo gelê en rook het. Die familie stem nie saam nie. Ons wil bewyse sien.”

Beukman sê Cythleen het soos almal, goeie en swak punte gehad.

“Sy was baie lief vir haar familie en kinders. Sy was altyd behulpsaam. Ek mis haar geweldig baie want sy het altyd vir my kom help werf skoonmaak en dan het ons twee tog altyd so lekker gesels.”

Beukman laat haar pa, twee susters, een broer, vier kinders en een kleinkind agter.

Die begrafnis sal op Saterdag 20 September in Tesselaarsdal plaasvind.

Frustrasie oor diewe wat in Northcliff toeslaan JANINE VAN DER RIET ’n Jong man, woonagtig in Dirkie UysStraat in Northcliff, is nou al raadop ná opportuniste reeds drie keer by sy huis, wat oorkant Laerskool Hermanus geleë is, ingebreek het.

Van die inbrake het helderoordag plaasgevind.

Jacques Buys sê alhoewel hul lewens nie direk in gevaar was nie, is waardevolle items wel gesteel.

In al drie gevalle wou hy ’n saak by die polisie aanhangig maak, maar vol-

gens hom, sonder sukses. Sy skootrekenaar, klere, beursie en ’n handsak is gesteel. Met die laaste inbraak sowat twee weke gelede, sê Buys, het hy in die tuin rondgeloop ná hy besef het daar is ingebreek.

Hy het onder andere iemand onbekend se paspoort in sy tuin ontdek wat waarskynlik by ’n ander huis gesteel is. Hy het ook sy beursie met al sy kaarte naby sy huis opgetel. Die kontant was wel uit sy beursie gesteel.

Buys sê Northcliff loop tans deur onder opportuniste wat ronddwaal

vir kwaadgeld en inwoners moet op hul hoede wees.

Kolonel Francois de Wet, waarnemende bevelvoerder van die Hermanus Polisie het, ná Buys se frustrasie aan hom bekend gemaak is, dadelik vir Buys probeer kontak.

“Elke mens is geregtig om ’n saak oop te maak. Ek nooi die publiek uit om my direk te kontak met al die besonderhede indien ’n polisieman hom of haarself skuldig maak daaraan om ’n saak te weier.”

De Wet volg tans Buys se sake op.

Hermanus parents share Emmy pride ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN It was the second year the popular TV series, Game of Thrones, won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Costume Design for a Series, and as the supervisor of crowd costumes, Carolyn Vary Marston, whose parents both live in Hermanus, shares in the success.

Carolyn was born in England and raised in East London in the Eastern Cape. Her parents, who have both remarried, live in Hermanus with their spouses.

Her father, Colin Vary and his wife Ruth and her mother, Barbara and her husband Tony Monsson, are extremely proud of her achievements.

“Carolyn has done so well working on the series and we just

think she is so special,” said Barbara “We are so proud of our daughter’s achievement. She loves her work, has a natural and creative flair and is a very good organiser.

“She inspires her team and they adore her. We love her and think she is great,” added her dad, Colin.

Carolyn has been working on the set of Game of Thrones since filming started five years ago.

The costume department won their second Emmy this year under the lead of renowned designer Michele Clapton and her team.

Carolyn is currently between Ireland/Croatia and Spain where they are shooting the fifth year of the popular series.

Carolyn is one of four South Africans currently working in the costume department.

Show support and wrap a tree in pink The Pink Trees for Pauline initiative is happening right now!

Last year a multitude of trees in Hermanus were covered in pink wrap, all for a good cause.

The Pink Trees for Pauline started in 2012 when a GraaffReinet resident, Carol-Ann van Jaarsveld, lost her mother and grandmother, both named Pauline, to cancer. As a legacy to both these women she founded Pink Trees for Pauline, together with Adri van Nieuwenhuizen – a breast cancer survivor and Dr Pam Kerr, an educational psychologist.

To raise cancer awareness, all the trees along the streets in Graaff-Reinet were wrapped in pink material. This unique initiative has grown wings, and the vision Carol-Ann once had, is now the driving force of many people who are wrapping South Africa and Namibia in pink to unite communities and raise money too.

The initiative is run in the Overstrand during the months September and October.

How to get involved: Last year many Overstranders participated in this initiative. To

WEES OP DIE UITKYK VIR HOENDERS: Die hoendergesinne wat gereeld oor die On­ rus­hoofstraat loop om aan die ander kant van die pad te baljaar in die plasse water is ’n bekende toneeltjie, en een wat inwoners graag wil bewaar. Dit het die Onrus­belas­ tingbetalersvereniging geïnspireer om spesiale waarskuwingsborde op te rig en motoriste so te waarsku om op die uitkyk te wees.

Lusitania Seafoods skielik toe vir sake JAN-HENDRIK COETZER “We regret to advise that Lusitania Seafoods will be closed as of 1 September 2014. We thank you for your past support. Apologies, management and staff.”

Só lees die kennisgewing tans op die voordeur van Lusitania Seafoods in die nuwe hawe nadat dié maatskappy letterlik oornag sy deure gesluit het.

Volgens Mary Lunde, algemene bestuurder by Lusitania Food Products in Durban, was dit bloot ’n besigheidsbesluit om die winkel toe te maak, aangesien dit teen ’n verlies bedryf is.

“Dis nou al vir baie jare wat die maatskappy verliese ly, en het ons, tesame met die eienaar, Rob Lea, besluit om eerder die deure te sluit.”

Lea, wat Lusitania Seafoods vir sowat ’n jaar besit het, kon nie deur die Hermanus Times opgespoor word vir kommentaar nie.

So ook is daar maatskappye in Hermanus wat ’n diens aan Lusitania verskaf het, en aan wie daar geld geskuld word, wat ook nie weet waar om te gaan aanklop nie.

pye, Walker Bay Pest Control, wat al vir die aqfgelope 10 jaar Lusitania se plaagbeheer behartig, word daar glo ’n groot bedrag geskuld.

Volgens Leatitia van Niekerk, mede-eienaar van Walker Bay Pest Control, is hierdie uitstaande rekening nie kleingeld nie en weet hulle nie waar om te begin navraag doen nie.

“Op 1 September het ek uit die bloute ’n e-pos ontvang met die boodskap dat die besigheid toegemaak het. Toe ek probeer bel, kon ek eenvoudig nêrens antwoord kry nie. As ek net geweet het die

het Lunde gesê die seisoentyd was eenvoudig net te kort om die besigheid deur die stil maande te dra.

En by navraag oor wat maatskappye te doen staan aan wie Lusitania Seafoods geld skuld, het Lunde geantwoord: “Die maatskappy was hulle eie entiteit, en ons ‘gesamentlike onderneming’ met mekaar was slegs ten opsigte van toerusting en die perseel.

“So ek kan nie namens ’n ander besigheid kommentaar lewer oor watter prosedure daar gevolg moet word ten opsigte van uitstaande skuld nie.”

besigheid gaan toemaak, of as die eienaar net eerlik genoeg was om dit vooraf aan ons te noem, dan was dit nie vir ons nodig om hulle elke keer te dagboek nie.

“Maar by elke navraag oor of ons die plaagbeheer moet kom doen, het hulle elke keer gesê ‘dis reg, kom maar’. Ek voel hulle kon dan eerder vir ons laat weet het hulle gaan toemaak, en dat dit nie meer nodig is om hulle te diens nie, want dan sou die bedrag ook aansienlik minder beloop het,” sê Van Niekerk.

Oor hoekom Lusitania vir etlike jare teen ’n verlies bedryf is,

‘Bende­aktiwiteite moet stopgesit word’ JANINE VAN DER RIET Verskeie bendes in die Overstrand – in skole sowel as die gemeenskap – word deur die Hermanus-polisie ondersoek.

Verlede week het die Hermanus Times berig oor Operation Combat, wat die Hermanus- en Stanford-polisie gestig het om bendelede vas te trek. (HT 11/09/2014, “Signs of gangste-

rism, even in primary schools”.)

Kol. Francois de Wet, waarnemende bevelvoerder by die Hermanus-polisie, sê daar is verskeie bendes in die gebied.

“In die skole blyk skoolbendes genaamd MOP (Money over Bitches), Naughty Boys en ATL bendebedrywighede uit te voer.

“Ander bendes in die onder-

skeie gemeenskappe sluit in die Dixie Boys in Mount Pleasant, die Terrible Josters in Hawston, die tronkbendes 26, 27 en 28’s, en Top Dogs.

“Die gemeenskap én ouers moet op die uitkyk wees vir tekens van bendelidmaatskap.

As ’n vermoede ontstaan van bende-aktiwiteite in jou huishouding of omgewing, moet jy dit dadelik by die polisie aan-

meld. Bendegeweld en -aktiwiteite moet stopgesit word.”

Die Hermanus-polisie het Dinsdagmiddag weer met skoolhoofde en rolspelers vergader om ’n multisektorale taakspan te stig. De Wet sê hoewel die polisie die veldtog van stapel gestuur het, kan dit nie suksesvol wees of deurgevoer word sonder die hulp van al die rolspelers nie.

To ’bant’ or not to ’bant’?

JAN-HENDRIK COETZER “Do we have to go the grain way or the animal way?” This is the question that has the whole world debating after Prof Tim Noakes advocated that a “high fat, medium protein, low carb” eating plan will secure you a longer and healthier life as well as help you get rid of those extra kilos.

Noakes, professor of exercise and sports science at the University of Cape Town, in association with Whale Coast 96FM and The Book Cottage, visited Hermanus where he shed some light on his controversial banting diet book, The Real Meal Revolution.

The event, held on 11 September at the Inn AfriKa Guest House & Events venue in Sandbaai, was fully booked with almost 200 people attending.

Many people believe that Noakes’ statement is the biggest threat to the science of health but he says that is exactly why he wrote this book, “so that people can decide for themselves”.

The basic principle of this eating plan is simple: lower your intake of carbohydrates and sugars and load up on all the good fats. This means less bread, potatoes, pizza and sweets, and foods such as cream, cheese, bacon, eggs and avocadoes can be ‘indulged’ in.

As a diabetic himself, Noakes believes that the scientific discovery in the USA in 1977, that a low fat diet will reduce heart related illnesses as well diabetes, is all untrue.

“For all these years we believed that cutting out fat will secure us a healthier life, and it’s all nonsense. We need the fat, our body needs fat, and most of all, our brain needs fat. It is essential for healthy living. And with that I’m not saying that you must cut out your carb intake completely. Just lower your carbs. It is not fat that will kill you, it is the high carbs that will put you at risk.”

According to Noakes, no scientific study on any eating plan can be completely accurate.

“For many years we were led to believe that eating fat will clot our arteries and lead to heart

Many of the attendees queued to have their copies of Prof Tim Noakes’ book signed.

The only way you can prove eating boiled or scrambled eggs instead, you such a thing is by putting thousands of people won’t feel hungry or crave those in-between in quarantine and put them on different eating snacks.”

He says that it’s very important to stay away plans for over a year’s time and then closely monitor them. Otherwise there can be no accu- from any “fat free” or “low fat” food.

But like I say, try it and decide totally the opposite from banting, Noakes answered “the only healthy vegetarians I know for yourself.”

According to Noakes, carbohydrates don’t are the ones who cheat.”

HERWINNINGSIDEE: Elsa Swart, Sand­ baai­inwoner, het ’n manier gekry om die vele melksakkies wat sy elke week opgaar, te herwin. Die melksakkies hoop op, want sy maak melkterte vir verskeie plaaslike win­ kels. Elsa het ’n vrou gesien stap met ’n soortgelyke sak en toe begin om melksakkies nuwe lewe te gee as inkopiesakke. “Ek doen graag kwiltwerk en die sakkies was ’n lek­ ker manier om besig te bly. Dit is nie te koop nie, maar hopelik spoor ek ander men­ se aan om kreatief en groen te wees,” sê El­ sa.

Roof, huisbraak en aanrandingsaak ondersoek JANINE VAN DER RIET Gedurende die afgelope week is ’n saak van huisroof in Pringlebaai, en ’n gewapende huisroof in Proteadorp, deur die Kleinmond-polisie ondersoek. ’n Aanrandingsaak is ook geopen na ’n 72-jarige vrou aangeval is.

Volgens ao. Jaco van Wyk, waarnemende bevelvoerder by Kleinmond, het vier verdagtes met balaklawas by ’n huis in Pringlebaai ingebreek. Die verdagtes het toegang tot die huis gekry deur ’n deur wat oopgestaan het.

Selfone en kontant is geroof en die huiseienaars is vasgemaak voor die verdagtes te voet weggehardloop het.

Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie.

In ’n ander geval is ’n gewapende huisroof-saak geopen na ’n paartjie in hul huis in Proteadorp, Kleinmond met ’n wapen aangehou is. R2 000 plus klerasie is tydens die roof gesteel.

Die Kleinmond-polisie ondersoek die voorval. ’n 72-jarige vrou is op die kuspad by Palmiet aangeval en die verdagte het haar probeer wurg. Lede van die publiek het die vrou te hulp gesnel en die aanvaller is in hegtenis geneem.

Hy het reeds in die Caledon-hof verskyn en bly in aanhouding.

Vandalisme op VOS voetpaadjie JANINE VAN DER RIET ’n Inwoner wie gereeld op die voetpaadjies tussen Onrus en Sandbaai draf, is geskok oor die gereelde nuwe vandalisme wat sy weekliks waarneem en volgens haar aan die toeneem is.

Martine van den Heever sê sy het opgemerk dat al die skade nie op een slag aangerig is nie. “So die kwaaddoeners het dus ’n paar keer teruggekom deur die loop van die week.”

Sy het Dinsdag weer verskeie gedenkteëls opgemerk wat deur vandaliste verniel is.

“Daar is heelwat vandalisme te bespeur op die Vermont/Onrus/Sandbaai (VOS) paadjie in Sandbaai. Naby die begin van die paadjie aan Schulphoek se kant is een teëltjie toegeverf met ’n vloekwoord langsaan en verder aan op die paadjie is ’n paar teëls beskadig en een heeltemal stukkend gekap.”

In Mei-maand het die Hermanus Times ook oor vandalisme in hierdie gebied berig.

Altesaam 20 gedenkteëls is toe op dié kuspaadjie verniel en moes vervang word.

Avril Steenkamp, die voorsitter van VOS, sê die teëls word teen R2 000 stuk gekoop ter nagedagtenis aan ’n geliefde, en word op die kuspaadjie tussen Vermont en Sandbaai aangebring. Steenkamp sê hul beleid is dat die beskadigde teëls ’n maksimum van drie keer gratis deur VOS vervang word, maar daarna is dit die teël-eienaar se verantwoordelikheid.

Van die gedenkteëls is met verf besmeer, stukkend gekap, en vloekwoorde is ook langs die teëls op die voetpaadjie geverf.

Auction to raise funds for Hopeland project The Fynbos Community Foundation is planning an auction to raise the R600 000 still needed for their Hopeland Project in Stanford.

The aim is to develop a facility where much-needed after-care services can be provided for at least 80 learners (Grade R to 7) from the HOP-land (RDP-housing) area on the outskirts of Stanford.

A building in the Stanford industrial area was purchased for R850 000 and the foundation has been given until 31 October to raise the funds.

R250 000 was raised in June with a 1 000 km cycle challenge undertaken by Koos and Joanie Smith of the foundation.

“Too many children in poor areas drop out of the school system because of difficult circumstances,” says Mr Smith, chairman the foundation’s chairman.

“The Hopeland Project has been initiated to give hope to these children. The centre will be a supervised, safe and caring environment where children will receive a proper lunch, take part in various programs, but most importantly, get help with their homework and additional learner support.”

The committee is appealing for donations like secondhand cars and furniture for the auction.

They already have 13 vehicles to sell, but are hoping to have 20.

They would also like to have at least 50 pieces of furniture to offer for sale, as well as any other items of value.

“Perhaps you have an old car or bakkie that won’t start, standing under a tree? Or a stick of furniture that you no longer need?

Any donation would help to better the lives of a few needy children in the Stanford area.”

The Fynbos Community Foundation, a registered tax-exempt charity, also runs the Fynbos Akademie on Langverwacht Farm in the Papiesvlei area, which caters for about 60 learners.

With the help of Agri Mega in Bredasdorp, a vegetable garden has been established at Langverwacht to provide fresh vegetables to the learners of Fynbos Akademie and in future will also supply the Hopeland Centre.

The project committee consists of a medical doctor, a clinic sister, a nutritional expert and others with training in art, music and sport.

There are also experts regarding policing, finances and a representative of Badisa.

Municipal managers salaries to decrease JANINE VAN DER RIET A new Government notice has been published with regard to the maximum salary notches for officials like municipal managers by the minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Pravin Gordhan.

This notice determines a revised upper limit for the remuneration packages applicable to senior managers inclusive of municipal managers at municipalities.

According to a list of all the Western Cape municipalities where the salary packages are set out, it seems that the salaries of 26 municipal managers must on average be decreased with R300 000 per year.

The current annual salary of the Overstrand municipal manager is R1 659 212, according to the list. The new maximum limit for the Overstrand MM, set by the national departement, is R1 191 500.

This salary paid to the OM municipal manager at present, is the second highest paid salary for municipal managers in the Western Cape.

George Municipality is taking the salary lead with R1 680 692 annually, with the new maximum limitation of R 1 449 390 annually.

Anton Bredell MEC: Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning said to the Hermanus Times on Tuesday, the notice does provide for transitional provisions which, amongst others, state that the salaries in the notice do not affect the validity of an existing employment contract of a senior manager.

“Therefore, with regard to what is to be done, one cannot reduce current packages as that would very likely be – amongst other things – a breach of contractual law. The current levels of remuneration may therefore remain in place.”

Minister Bredell agrees that salaries need to be regulated but says he is also aware that the current notice has practical implementation challenges and these must urgently be addressed.

The minister is still consulting with the national department and other stakeholders on the issue.

The provisions of the Notice became effective as of 1 July 2014. ) In the Overstrand Municipality’s operating budgets for 2014/2015, salaries were decreased with R564 968, while provision was made for another decrease, more than R3.5 M in the years 2015-16 and 2016-17.

According to the budget report, the decrease amount will be generated by vacancies not filled.

Savings of R62 435 is shown on the salaries of municipal managers and directors, with more savings to come in the next two financial years.

GOOD TIMES ON GROTTO: The reader’s photo of Grotto Beach at sun­ set, featured in last week’s HT, reminded a reader of good times spent on the beach in bygone years. She says: “Your selected read­ er’s photo reminded me of a favourite photo of mine (of the Thonissen fami­ ly) taken in more or less the same spot at the same time (see the rocky out­ crop) but taken 25 years ago ­ with the same sentiment!

Nice to know that some things never change.” PHOTO

EDITORIAL COMMENT So waar as vet Nou het Prof Tim Noakes se omstrede “hoë vet, lae koolhidrate”­dieet ook Overstran­ ders aan die gons.

Dit nadat Noakes op Donderdag 11 September sowat 200 mense in Sandbaai toegespreek het oor sy banting­dieet. Double Cream jogurt vlieg van die rakke af, biltong met ekstra vet is skielik gewild, ou “Wagter” is knorrig, want die varktjop se vetrandjie of hoendervelletjie beland nie meer in sy kosbak nie en dan is daar selfs restaurante wat as alternatiewe opsie die “banting”­spyskaart voor jou inskuif.

Vir al die jare al glo ons dat baie vet in die dieet sleg is vir ons gesondheid, vet­ sug kan veroorsaak en verskeie hartsiektes teweeg kan bring. En hier kom Noakes en gooi behoorlik die hele appellorrie om deur te sê dat as jy meer vet eet en jou koolhidrate en suiker laag hou, jy gewig sal verloor en baie gesonder sal voel.

Is hierdie alles feit of flater?

Of jy jou skaar by dié wat saamstem of dié wat galbraak, Noakes se antwoord is kort en kragtig, “probeer dit en besluit self.”

Costs of building materials do differ With reference to the “Just asking” letter in the Hermanus Times of 4 September: Firstly the writer shares no facts and is clearly oblivious to the fact that along the coast and inland building materials differ as do their pricing. This letter not only questions the integrity of building material suppliers in the area but also quantity surveyors, estimators and contractors alike, and their ability or inability to procure material cost effectively.

The fact that the writer quotes that a roll of dampproof in Hermanus costs R1 500 and in Johannesburg costs R500, is a clear indication they have no idea of building material and the difference in building practice between inland and coastal areas and material used and why. The cost of building along the coast has and will always be more expensive as a result of our extreme climate difference.

Material and building practice required to accommodate for that, naturally comes at a higher cost. With regards to the window and door scenario we have a local Cape-based national window and door supplier that has various quality and thickness ranges available and even certain cheaper ranges not available for re-sale along the coast, hence the ability to adjust their pricing accordingly to accommodate the writer. If low cost housing and building practice is what the writer is accustomed to, I suggest they relocate their operation to areas suited for that. We are available to assist with any building advice or building material pricing related queries and will ensure that you receive the right product at the right price for the right application.

Onrusrivier-oorlaaistasie: voor- en nadele Die huidige polemiek aangaande die oorlaaistasie en moontlike oplossings, veral die plasing van vullishouers (staaldromme) by wonings, verg noukeurige besinning sodat die voor- en die nadele van sentralisasie en desentralisasie deeglik oorweeg kan word.

Kortliks: Met die bestaande oorlaaistasiefasiliteite word/is die “probleem” genadiglik gesentraliseer en in ’n mate bestuurbaar. Maar, met desentralisasie waar vullishouers by wonings geplaas word, word, o.a. twee addisionele potensiele probleme geskep.

Eerstes gaan hierdie mense die strate invaar om die vullishouers te deursoek – ’n praktyk wat hom weekliks in die Kaap afspeel.

Op dié wyse word ’n eiesoortige probleem van groter omvang geskep omdat rommelstrooiing op sulke dae aan die orde van die dag is.

So ’n omgewingsprobleem sal van veel groter omvang wees as tans by die oorlaaistasie, en gaan met die beste wil in die wêreld nie maklik hanteerbaar wees nie.

Ten tweede skep desentralisasie ook ’n potensiële veiligheidsrisiko. Weereens,

omdat diesulkes genoodsaak is/word om in die woonbuurte in te beweeg kan eiendomme en permanente inwoners veel makliker geidentifiseer en geteiken word.

Dit is dus na my mening duidelik dat desentralisasie, benewens die omgewingsprobleme en veiligheidsrisiko’s wat dit kan meebring, nie volhoubaar kan of gaan wees nie.

Die bestaande gesentraliseerde bestel, ten spyte van die huidige nadele, bied darem ten minste ’n meer hanteerbare bestuursopsie en, laat ons dit nou maar erken, dra darem by tot netjieser en skoner woonbuurte.

Ten slotte moet ek ook meld dat ’n voorstel vir die plasing van ’n “staaldrom”summier voor my huis sonder my inspraak onaanvaarbaar is.

Ek heg groot waarde aan die estetiese voorkoms van my huis en omgewing en aanvaar al vir baie jare, op my eie koste, die verantwoordelikheid om die “sypaadjies” van my hoekerf skoon en netjies te hou. ’n “Staaldrom” gaan ek beslis nie duld nie.

THEO SMIT

Wat ’n nagmerrie honde-stappie Ons het met ons twee honde, aan leibandjies, Saterdagoggend in Ixiastraat gaan stap na die parkie. By die parkie het ons die leibandjies uitgehak en ons honde het heerlik rondgehardloop.

Geen gemors by die parkie nie, behalwe “nr 1.” Met die terugkeer het ek vir my man gesê dat die straat so stil is, ons honde nie aggressief is nie, en ons hulle bandjies nie hoef in te hak nie.

In Wesendstraat het ons teruggestap op pad huis toe. Daar het ’n wit bakkie baie stadig in die straat aangery gekom en het ons betyds ons honde op die sypaadjie geneem.

Die stadige bakkie is verby en ons het net begin verder stap, toe twee wille swart gevaartes - dink dis wolfhonde?, van agteraf op ons afgestorm kom.

Die een was baie aggressief en het my dierbare wit hond van agter bespring en op haar rug/nek gebyt. Gelukkig dat ek die leibandjie in my hand gehad het, anders was my hand en arms in die slag.

Ek het geskree en die swart gevaarte probeer wegkry deur die leibandjie te gebruik om orals te slaan. My man het intussen die ander swart hond probeer keer van ons Jack Russell

af, want ek ys wat sou gebeur het indien hy my klein hondjie net een hap sou gee!

Met ons gesukkel om die swart gevaartes van ons twee liefdevolle honde weg te kry, het hul baas, net so ’n entjie voor ons, in die bakkie bly sit, en alles gesien. Hy het nie uitgeklim of sy honde geroep of gefluit nie, net alles gesit en aanskou.

Dit was Harcourts se agent, wat êrens agter ons was, wat alles gesien en stilgehou het en gevra het of alles okay is. Ons het by die eienaar van die twee swart honde se huis verbygestap, waar hulle weer deur die draad ons aggressief aangeval het, maar die baas was nie in sig nie.

Ons wil die eienaar net waarsku om sulke onnosele dinge nooit weer te doen nie, want ander honde sal dalk nie so gelukkig soos ons s’n wees nie.

Almal sê ons moet polisie toe gaan, maar omdat ons nie hou van onenigheid nie, doen ons dit nie. Maar asb. eienaar van hierdie honde, neem hulle ver uit die dorp vir ’n stappie, want elke hond verdien dit, maar asb nie in ons strate nie.

SAPS says thanks On 8 September, we attended a complaint of a suspicious person walking around in Onrus.

We had difficulty in arresting the suspect and the community, including law enforcement officer Ryan Swartz, a Bosplasie resident and Curro construction workers, helped us. We would like to thank the community for their support and good cooperation in the arrest.

Stolen property was recovered. Anyone missing property can come to the police station and identify the goods confiscated.

Shocking facts regarding African Bank saga Thank you for publishing the letter of JJ Breitenbach last week, “Stay alert people” I was alerted to the following shocking fact: My Money Market account had been plundered, reduced, without any consultation or consent, to keep a sinking ship afloat. This called ABIL (African Bank to most). I have been using the account for the correct purpose for which it has been designed i.e a small saving to cater for emergencies and recently sold a vehicle to purchase my camper. The statement reflects two deductions, R336 called a unit deduction or a “haircut”. This is apparently non returnable and my donation to ABIL. The other R3 311 an ABIL retention fund called a “side pocket”. Apparently but not guaranteed, this could be refunded with interest in February 2015. Once again, those of us who save (as we are requested to do) and those of us who have deprived ourselves of extravagances have been targeted. I never saw African Bank as a viable business model and have selected what I consider stable institutions for my funds.

I must ask what action is being taken to hold officials accountable. The CEO’s monument to self indulgence stands proud on an outcrop at Pringle Bay. If the “side pocket” is going to be repaid why did AB not have sufficient debt collection to keep the business afloat in the first place? Are investors expected to stand by and allow funds to be further plundered, together with worsening services and increasing taxes or is there any form of collective action in the pipeline?

Wild horses in Fisherhaven are a nuisance We have written a letter to the health department, but have had no response from them, regarding the wild horses in Fisherhaven which are a nuisance.

Is nobody taking any actions until an accident wakes up the authorities?

Our letter to the health department reads as follows: Dear Ms. Erasmus.

We have queried some time ago by phone the problem with the so-called wild horses in Fisherhaven.

They are really stray horses and up to ten of them are here on a daily basis, fouling the streets right up to and onto the R 43, fighting sometimes and damaging private property.

This is not a farming area where manure is properly managed.

We like to see the horses when they are in their proper environment. They belong to an area such as Rooisand and have to be taken and contained there.

We can see a problem with flies and other pests proliferating if the municipality does not remove the horses from Fisherhaven.

Would it be legal to keep horses here in our suburbs?

Can residents keep horses in Westcliff or in other central wards?

We trust, that you deal with this matter urgently.

Bonusreën vir damme Die weerglas het Dinsdagaand begin val van 1010 hPa tot 1004 hPa. Hoogtyd, want ons is net agt weke van somer af. Vir ons wat al begin glo het ons mis die winterreëns, is dit ’n troos.

Dis ’n bonus vir die opgaardamme van die Overberg want ons kan ’n goeie 37 tot 40 mm in die volgende 30 uur verwag. Vandag van 11:00 tot 17:00 is die hardste neerslag van oor 20 mm.

Enkele lesers had die afgelope week vrae oor die goeie nuus dat die gat in die osoonlaag besig is om te herstel, maar die slegte nuus is dat die osoonlaag net daar is om ons teen gevaarlike strale van die sonfakkels (sonuitbarstings) en violetstrale te beskerm.

Klimaatverandering het net te doen met die elfjarige ovaalsiklus van die son, wat volgens Hennie Koortz van die Sterrewag in Kaapstad, dalk die komende paar dae internetgebruikers onthuts gaan los as hul selfone skielik simpel goed begin doen. Die diensverskaffers moet tog nie die skuld kry nie. Trek liewer genoeg geld vir kontant in die huis vir ingeval, want die banke is nie immuun teen internetonderbrekings nie.

Oor die Overberg se weer kan ons maar net weereens dankbaar wees vir die unieke posisie wat die Overberg in die weersiklus het, soveel so dat daar soms twyfel is of ons wel in ’n winterreënvalstreek is. Wat wel verstaan word is dat die ganse wêreld se weer tans op sy

kop gekeer is. In die noordelike halfrond wat al byna winter het, woed nog tropiese storms en hier by ons is plekke wat gewoonlik warm is, skielik koud en die koue plekke warmer.

Ook Sutherland is in die veiligheidsone van uiterstes. Dié area wat vir Weerhaan altoos ’n monitor op die grafieke is, bly eenvoudig koud as die son sak.

Die noordwes wat die vog indra het skynbaar in die huidige stand van die son ’n reguit lyn Overberg toe. Die die rede waarom dit so is, is dat die elfjaar-ovaalbaan van die son ’n lyn tussen die noord en suidpool het. Dit word die Ourora Ovaal genoem. Dit lyk of die huidige verskuiwing van die son se baan die minste uitwerking op die lyn tussen die magnetiese pole het. Ons kan dalk so bietjie links of regs uit wees.

Hierdie elfjaarsiklus had die Britte twee eeu gelede byna histeries toe die Teems gevries het en eers twee somers later ontdooi het.

He then went on to record a four track E.P and released a further two singles, “It’s my time” and “What about now” from that E.P, both receiving enthusiastic response. He has written and arranged the theme song for the new SA Rugby mascot, “Bokkie” as well as Jeremy Olivier “Sharkie” for the Sharks Rugby Team, and in 2008 Jeremy wrote and co-wrote the original songs, Free Free and Sweet Love for an international animated movie, The Lion of Judah, which was released in the US in 2011. ) GOODLUCK With six number one hits, including Taking it Easy, Harlem, and Hop on Hop off, four international tours and over 350 live shows already behind their name, GoodLuck is making waves beyond boarders. In 2012 they also launched their new mix tape, The Lucky Packet which positioned them as the number one selling electronic act on the South African iTunes charts. GoodLuck was nominated for three South African Music Awards, including Best Dance Album, Best Duo/ Group and the coveted Record of the Year.

There are family gatherings, and then there is Dommisse Day According to Neil Malan, the Dommisse family has a long history in Hermanus.

Dr Jan Dommisse (born in Piketberg in 1879) retired to Peter Pan in Luyt Street (formerly Theron Street) in the early 1940s, handing over his Worcester practice to his son John.

Dr John (snr) had a house called “Suikerbossie” at that time and later built “Berg en See”. Both these homes are in Voëlklip.

“The family still owns that house and the descendants are often seen on Voëlklip Beach or Kammabaai,” says Neil.

Gathering the family is no mean feat as they are wide spread and plentiful.

“At last count Dr Jan is the forefather of 110 direct descendants living as far afield as Canada, Australia, England, All in all, 68 descendants and their families were at the Italy and the USA.” Dommisse Day, hosted at the Malan’s home in Voëlklip on When the extended Dommisse family decides it’s time to reconnect, it is a gathering of note.

On Saturday a Dommisse Day was held at the home of the Malans (Mary Dommisse’s son) in Voëlklip and it was attended by 68 descendants and their families.

Change of ownership under way at Eastcliff Village Centre JAN-HENDRIK COETZER Eastcliff Village Shopping Centre is undergoing quite a few changes with regards to a new landlord, and some of the businesses trading in the centre have already changed hands.

According to Keith Muirhead from the property company PointBreak, who is in the process of taking over Eastcliff Centre from ADEK, the transfer has not yet taken place.

“For this reason it will be inap-

propriate for me to comment on anything at this stage.”

Greg Altona-de Klerk from ADEK, the company selling the property, also confirmed that the transfer is not yet official and that they cannot elaborate at this point.

In the meantime the gym, Edge Fitness Club, has been taken over by a new owner, Wessie van der Westhuizen, the carwash is now owned by David Cooper and will reopen soon, and the bookshop, bookmark, is moving to Main Road (as reported in last week’s HT).

Nuwe gym­eienaar is vol planne JAN-HENDRIK COETZER Wessie van der Westhuizen het oorgeneem as nuwe eienaar van die Edge Fitness Gym op die boonste vloer van die Eastcliff Village Inkopiesentrum op 1 September.

Volgens Van der Westhuizen, voorheen van Fochville in Gauteng, is dit sy strewe en mikpunt om 100% by die gimnasium betrokke te wees.

“Ek gaan alles in my mag doen om weer die diensfaktor terug te bring. Ek kompeteer self as dit kom by liggaamsbou, so ek sal vir seker die meeste van my tyd by die gimnasium deurbring.”

Die gimnasium word tans aan die binnekant oorgeverf en Wessie sê hulle beoog om die uitleg daarvan te verbeter en om ook ’n winkeltjie binne die gimnasium oop te maak.

“My ander besigheid is die verspreiding van Gorilla Wear, ’n sportklerereeks wat ek in Suid-Afrika bemark.

“So die klerereeks, saam met liggaamsbouaanvullings sal binnekort ook in die gimnasium beskikbaar wees.”

Die Van der Westhuizen-familie – sy vrou Jennifur-Lee en hul babadogtertjie, het sowat ’n maand gelede sak-en-pak afgetrek Hermanus toe – woon nou in Voëlklip.

Wessie sê hy sien uit na die nuwe uitdaging en “is absoluut mal oor Hermanus en sy mense”.

“Ons bly ook sommer loopafstand van die see af en het in ’n kort tydjie hier al heelwat vriende gemaak.

“Maar ons vind nou eers ons voete en sal so stelselmatig nog al die plekke verken,” sê Wessie

Overstrand employers’ court case against Bargaining Council dismissed A court case, initiated by a group of building contractors in the Overstrand, against the Minister of Labour and the Building Industry Bargaining Council (Cape of Good Hope) has finally been concluded with the dismissal of the case.

“The case has been dismissed with costs awarded to the minister and the BIBC,” explained Arnold Williams, Secretary for Building Industry Bargaining Council (Cape of Good Hope) in the press statement released earlier this week.

Contractors in the building industry contested the issue of jurisdiction and the

extension of the Collective Agreement to non-parties. This related to the Minister of Labour’s decision to extend the BIBC’s jurisdiction, as from 1 April 2011, to include Gansbaai, Hangklip, Hermanus, Kleinmond and Stanford. The Minister later extended the BIBC’s Collective Agreement to non-parties.

“Employers within the Overstrand Municipality are in breach of the law if they choose not to comply with the current Building Industry Bargaining Council’s employment conditions as laid out in the Industry’s Collective Agreement,” added

Williams.

During the proceedings, which dragged on for two years, the court order stated that the BIBC had the right to take non-compliant contractors to arbitration to enforce compliance. The council will thus continue to enforce the collective agreement in the area.

“As much as we usually try to avoid litigation, we are pleased that the case has been concluded and that we can continue to ensure that the compliance agreement that has the Department of Labour’s approval, is enforced.” Williams added.

Aftree-hervormings: Geleenthede vir sukses In sy 2012 Begrotingsrede het die destydse Minister van Finansies, Pravin Gordhan, aangekondig dat Tesourie ’n proses van betekenisvolle hervormings binne aftreefondse gaan implementeer. Sedertdien is aansienlike vordering gemaak en word meeste van die voorgestelde veranderinge deur die loop van 2015 voltooi.

Die breë beleidsdoelwitte van die voorgestelde hervormings behels onder meer: Verpligte (outomatiese) inklusiwiteit; beter bewaring van beleggers se aftreebelange; verbeterde openbaarmaking deur aftreefondse (insluitend deursigtige en verlaagde fooistrukture); vereenvoudiging van aftreeprodukte; moeitelose oordraagbaarheid van belange tussen produkverskaffers en meer effektiewe regulasie van die industrie in geheel.

Om die industrie te vereenvoudig en derhalwe makliker of meer verstaanbaar te maak is egter makliker gesê as gedaan.

Daar is talle produkte en fondse beskikbaar waarbinne beleggers kan spaar vir aftreevoorsiening. Dit is die verantwoordelikheid van portefeuljebestuurders en aftreebeplanners om binne dié hervormings, die proses van vereenvoudiging en openbaarmaking te ondersteun en beleggers te adviseer betreffende al dié opsies.

Derhalwe wy ons graag hierdie artikel daaraan om die beskikbare aftreebeplanning-opsies en keuses so eenvoudig moontlik uiteen te sit.

Hierdie opsies het feitlik almal sekere belastingvoordele wat óf gedurende die spaarperiode, óf na/tydens aftrede van toepassing is. Ons hou vir eers die spesifieke belastingvoordele of -implikasies oor, aangesien dit opsigself ’n belangrike en soms komplekse aspek is om in gedagte te hou tydens aftreebeplanning.

Aftreeprodukte word basies in twee kategorieë verdeel, naamlik dié vóór aftrede en die ná aftrede. Voor-aftredeprodukte

FINMONITOR

Theo Cloete, Portfolio-bestuurder, PSG Batebestuur, Hermanus verwys na die beleggingsvoertuie waarin beleggers hul bydraes kan plaas om voorsiening te maak vir aftrede. Hierdie bydraes kan eenmalig of gereeld (byvoorbeeld maandeliks, kwartaalliks, jaarliks) van aard wees, of ’n kombinasie daarvan.

Hierdie produkte bestaan uit uittree-annuïteite, pensioenfondse asook voorsorgfondse (elk met sy eie voordele en belastingimplikasies). Bewaringsfondse kwalifiseer ook as voor-aftredeprodukte, en word gebruik wanneer beleggers bv van werk verander of bedank en nog nie aftreeouderdom bereik het nie, terwyl daar opgehoopte fondse binne hul werkgewer se aftreefondse lê.

Na-aftredeprodukte kom in gedrang sodra die belegger aftree-ouderdom bereik (minimum 55) en aftree uit die betrokke aftreefonds. Tipiese opsies by aftrede bepaal dat ’n sekere deel (gewoonlik 1/3) in kontant geneem kan word, terwyl ’n annuiteit (of pensioen) met die balans aangekoop moet word, of die fondse kan in ’n lewende annuïteit geplaas word, waar beleggers hul vlak van inkomste kan kies en jaarliks kan aanpas (binne sekere perke).

Weereens het elke opsie sy eie voordele en toepaslikheid wat verskil van belegger tot belegger.

Die keuse van die mees toepaslike produk om voorsiening te maak vir aftrede sal bepaal word deur elke belegger se eie doelwitte en behoeftes.

Kostes speel uiteraard ’n deurslaggewende rol en beleggers moet daarop aandring dat alle kostes tydens die besluitnemingsproses geopenbaar word.

Watter aftreeproduk of -voertuig egter ook al gekies word, die mees belangrike aspek tydens die beplanningsproses vir af-

tree-voorsiening, is die samestelling van die onderliggende beleggings wat die opbrengste moet lewer wat uiteindelik die fondse tydens aftrede moet voorsien.

Dis hier waar sake ingewikkeld raak.

Benewens sekere regulasies wat van toepassing is op die onderliggende beleggingsinstrumente wat ingesluit mag word, is daar letterlik honderde fondse en opsies tot beleggers se beskikking.

Beleggers moet toesien dat hul swaarverdiende bydraes optimaal aangewend word. Daar is vandag nuwe generasie produk-opsies beskikbaar wat sowel vereenvoudiging as aansienlike kostebesparings teweeg bring, gemeet aan ouer-generasie produkte. Dié opsies sluit onder meer in ’n persoonlike aandeleportefeulje (PSP) waar beleggers toegang kry tot ’n pasgemaakte portefeulje van kwaliteit genoteerde aandele.

Hierdie aftreeportefeulje word namens die belegger bestuur, binne die neergelegde aftreefonds-riglyne, deur geregistreerde portefeuljebestuurders wat deur die Raad op Finansiële Dienste goedgekeur is.

PSP’s is koste-effektiewe beleggingsvoertuie wat een laag (tradisionele) fooie elimineer, deurdat die aangewese portefeuljebestuurder in wese die rol van die batebestuurder vervul. Alle fooie word ten volle geopenbaar en is onderhandelbaar met die portefeuljebestuurder.

Verder het PSP’s ook die voordeel dat begunstigdes benoem kan word vir boedelbeplanningsdoeleindes, terwyl dit dieselfde belastingvoordele bied as tradisionele aftreeprodukte. PSP’s is ook beskikbaar vir diskresionêre fondse, terwyl sekere minimum aanvangsbedrae geld.

Huidige aftreefondse kan meesal kosteloos omgeskakel word na ’n PSP. Gesels met ’n ervare portefeuljebestuurder oor hierdie uitstekende opsie vir aftreebeplanning.

General cleanliness rated, but CBD aesthetics slated The Executive Committee (Exco) of the Hermanus Ratepayers Association (HRA) has been concerned that it may not be doing what members want, and it initiated a survey in July to gauge members’ attitudes to the level of service being provided, mostly by the Municipality, as well as views about various current issues facing ratepayers of Hermanus As pointed out by Bob Stanway, HRA chairman, the results only apply to the ward 3 area, the area of the HRA. “They would probably be very different for other wards.”

The survey was administered and analysed

by Doug Parker, who is an HRA Exco member, as well as being an experienced market researcher – and at no cost to the HRA.” All HRA members on email (some 370) were given the opportunity to participate. A total of 66 members completed the survey within the survey period.

Results relating to quality of services: HRA members’ responses to the quality of various (mostly Municipal) services being provided was overwhelmingly positive, with the majority of members scoring good to excellent ratings.

The top positive-rated services were: 1. Cleanliness of the general area 2. Activeness of Fernkloof, and 3. Maintenance of the cliff path 4. Maintenance of infrastructure and 5. Beach maintenance.

The weakest (top negative-rated) service: 1. Management of the Klein River Lagoon 2. Standards and aesthetics of the CBD 3. Quality of policing 4. Quality of Law Enforcement, and 5. Quality of HPP services.

“The very poor rating of management of the Klein River Lagoon is probably related to the repeated sewerage spills at the Scout Camp sewerage pump station, associated health hazards and the negative effect on tourism, while the CBD aesthetics rating would seem to relate to the serious decline in the quality of shops and businesses in the west end of the CBD.” “Of considerable significance is that three of the worst five services related to the “crime prevention/law enforcement” category provided by three different institutions being the SA Police Service (SAPS), the municipality and Hermanus Public Protection (HPP), pos-

sibly implying that better institutional co-operation and co-ordination in “crime prevention/law enforcement” might result in greater synergy and much better service to the public,” said Stanway.

Results relating to listed current issues: Results showed general agreement with all propositions other than the need for a bypass road, which was by far the most opposed issue.

There was almost unanimous agreement that: 1. Dogs should have a specific area where they may be allowed to run free and 2. Dogs should be kept on leads in all public places.

“There was less overall agreement about dogs being allowed to run free on the beaches within set times, but the result was nevertheless one of agreement.” said Stanway.

The survey also showed strong support for the revitalisation of the CBD and fairly strong support for pedestrianisation of the Main Road in the CBD. “Interestingly, there was also a fair amount of support for the proposed Sandbaai Mall.”

Other issues raised Numerous other individual issues were put forward by members, such as: ) Costs for services charged by the Overstrand Municipality are too high ) Only charge for CBD parking in-season and over long weekends ) There is a need for more cycle paths ) Control CBD architectural standards and try to retain fishing village character ) Refuse removal and management is excellent and should be commended ) Baboons are a really serious problem.

Besides baboon monitors, the use of baboonproof bins should be enforced ) Grotto wetland needs to be re-established ) Need to investigate and test new technologies to generate electricity ) Opposition to the proposed Mitchell street development ) Enforcement of traffic laws.

“In summary, it is quite clear that HRA members who responded are proud of their town and believe it is being pretty well managed,” said Stanway, adding that they, the HRA exco, does need to direct its work to try to help improve the services that scored most

poorly, and to try to help resolve the issues of most concern to members, namely; ) Klein River estuary management ) Crime prevention/law enforcement ) Alternatives to the Bypass ) Revitalisation of the CBD ) A place or places to run dogs.

Maak jou eie liplekker sosaties LISE BEYERS ’n Televisie-advertensie waarin Nataniël “sosaties” adverteer, het heelwat polemiek ontketen.

Talle koskenners het gal gebraak hieroor. Hulle hou vol dat niks behalwe skaapblokkies wat in ’n kerriesous laat lê is, sosaties is nie.

Ek wil nie betrokke raak by dié kwessie nie, maar ek moet byvoeg, deur die jare as ek die woord sosatie hoor, dan dink ek dadelik aan heerlike blokkies skaapvleis wat in ’n effe soet-suur kerriesousie laat lê is.

Ek maak wel dikwels ander variasies van vleis, vis of hoender wat op ’n stokkie geryg is, maar dan noem ek dit self stokkiesvleis.

So bevind ek myself by my gunsteling slaghuis waar ek mooi vra vir ’n skaapboud – so ’n tweetand werk beter as lam vir sosaties. My slagter ontbeen hom en ek is huiswaarts.

Ek moet net byvoeg dat varkboud-

It can be something that unites us as a nation but it is definitely something that brings the family together.

What are you doing for Heritage Day? Come and visit us at Boschrivier Wines on the R326 road towards Caledon.

Pop in for a glass of wine and Boerewors Roll only R10 per roll.

vleis en hoederborsies ’n smaaklike plaasvervanger is vir skaapvleis.

Vir die sous begin ek deur twee uie, in dikkerige ringe gesny, stadig in ’n eetlepel sonneblomolie te braai. As die uieringe byna deurskynend is, word twee fyngemaakte knoffelhuisies bygevoeg.

Voeg dan twee of drie eetlepels kerriepoeier by, ’n eetlepel borrie, ’n koppie asyn en ’n klein blikkie appelkooskonfyt, asook drie gekneusde suurlemoenblare, ’n paar heel peperkorrels en twee heel naeltjies.

Daar moet ’n goeie balans wees tussen soet en suur, en as die een die ander oorheers, gooi óf ’n bietjie suiker óf asyn by totdat die smaak vir jou reg is.

As jy nog meer byt wil hê, kan ’n bietjie rissie bygevoeg word.

Laat die marinade vir 15 minute verder prut en haal dan van die hitte af. As die sous afgekoel het, meng ’n halwe koppie Bulgaarse of Griekse jogurt daarby – dit is na my per-

soonlike smaak, en dit werk.

Sny nou die boud in blokkies op, so een duim by een duim, en giet die afgekoelde marinade daaroor, asook ’n pakkie gedroogte appelkosies.

As jou cholesterolvlakke dit toelaat, sny repe varkspek in blokkies en voeg dit ook by. Klein blokkies ui is ook lekker tussenin.

En so moet die vleis vir minstens 24 uur marineer, maar my beskeie mening is egter drie dae.

Voordat jy die sosaties aanmekaarslaan, week die houtstokkies in koue water. Ryg dan so dat jy twee stukkies vleis, dan ’n stuk spek ryg, dan weer vleis, dan appelkoos, weer vleis, en dan ui.

Sosaties word oor matige kole gebraai en die rooster word gereeld gedraai om te verhoed dat hulle nie brand nie.

Smeer die sosaties kort-kort met die orige marinade. Hulle behoort nie langer as 15 minute te braai nie.

Braaiing is something that we as South Africans all do.

It is part of our Heritage.

Leerders skitter by Eisteddfod Die kinders van plaaswerkers in die Hemel-en-Aarde-Vallei het aan die Afrikaanse Eisteddfod deelgeneem waar hul verskeie sertifikate verwerf het.

Wat dit meer merkwaardig maak is dat van die kinders Xhosa-leerders is wat by Lukhanyo Primêr skoolgaan en hul gedigte in Afrikaans voorgedra het.

Die res van die groepie gaan skool by Mount Pleasant Primêr.

Die kinders is afgerig deur vroue van die United Kerk wat hulle smiddae met hul huiswerk help.

Die leerders se uitslae is as volg: Dalicia Farmer (silwer), Tono Blaai (silwer), Anevuyo Moyikwa (goud), Brendon Heath (cum laude), Andrewlene Mouries (brons), Cheryl Skermaans (goud) en David van Wyk (silwer).

Vrydag het die leerders se spreekkoor ook aan die Eisteddfod deelgeneem en baie goed gevaar deur silwer te verower.

Dié leerders het Vrydag as spreekkoor in die Eisteddfod by Laerskool Hermanus deelge­ neem. Hul afrigters is baie trots op hulle, want sommige Xhosa­leerders het in Afri­ kaans deelgeneem.

LEARNING ABOUT HEALTHY TEETH: Learners from the United Church Hemel­en­Aarde Children’s Outreach programme visited local dentist, Dr Claude Kelfkens, recently to learn about oral hygiene and healthy teeth and gums. The church started the pro­ gramme seven years ago by reaching out to the children on the Oldlands and Southend Farms in the Hemel­en­Aarde Valley. The church group helps them with basic education needs like home­ work and language skills. They ap­ proached Dr Kelfkens, who agreed to give the talk. Each learner also received a goodie bag to help with oral hygiene.

With the learners and Dr Kelfkens are Kim Kelfens (back, second from left) and Henriette Viljoen (back, right) from Dr Kelfkens’s office.

Shackleton ‘down’ ­ the story of Pelican 16 On Friday 26 September a DVD on the flight of a Shackleton aircraft will be shown in St. Peter’s church hall, commencing with light snacks at 18:30.

Lt. Col. Peter Dagg, who captained the aeroplane and who has lived in Hermanus for many years, will be on hand to comment and answer questions.

This is a riveting show which should not be missed, particularly as 13 July this year was the twentieth anniversary of this ep-

isode in aircraft history.

The pride with which a suitable Shackleton was rebuilt to fly South African pilots and engineers to the UK for a special air show, is evident in the film.

The cost of the evening is R75 per person.

Please bring your own tipple and glass.

Tickets are available from Anne Philip (082 399 3925) and from the church secretary, Gracia Beukes 028 312 1325.

Busses parking overnight on this public open space at Magnolia and Ab­ erdeen Streets have been fined.

Busses fined for illegal parking ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN Three buses that have been parking overnight on the public open space at the corner of Magnolia and Aberdeen Streets for the last few weeks, were fined in accordance with the new traffic by-law, recently adopted by the municipal council.

According to the by-law, no person shall park a vehicle with a gross vehicle mass exceeding 3 500 kg; or any trailer with a gross vehicle mass exceeding 1 000 kg on a public road or road reserve within the jurisdiction of the municipality or property of the municipality for a period of more than one hour between 06:00 and 19:00 daily.

Such vehicles may not park there between 19:00 and 06:00, with the exception of when a temporary parking permit has been issued by the municipality.

Temporary parking permits may be issued upon application for agricultural, general heavy-duty transport, business or industrial activities.

According to Neville Micheals, the Director of Protection Services at the Overstrand Municipality, law-enforcement officers investigated the buses, which were seen parking overnight on weekdays.

“Fines have been issued for overnight parking and unlawful camping,” he said.

PART MINI-BIKE, PART MOTORCYCLE: A TOUGH, URBAN EDGE

Honda Launches 2014 MSX125 QUICKPIC Manufactured in Thailand, the MSX125 is small enough to be supremely manageable yet also has a fully-fledged feel thanks to some standard sized motorcycle parts.

It is part mini-bike, part motorcycle with involving performance matched to confident handling and styling that combines a sense of fun with a tough, urban edge.

Its well-proven and efficient 125cc fuel-injected engine has been further refined for even greater economy plus smooth torque and power delivery, and also features a motorcyclestyle four-speed gearbox and clutch.

Complementing the powerplant is a compact chassis that features a sturdy steel frame, inverted front fork, monoshock rear suspension, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear and lightweight 12-inch wheels sporting wide, low profile tyres.

Four patents were applied for through development of the MSX125, focused around the split structure tank cover and frame, proof of just how seriously this bike is taken by Honda. Small it may be, but in terms of worldwide sales, brand awareness and owner satisfaction, its impact has been large.

Priorities for the MSX125’s chassis were threefold: it needed to provide the base for a practical bike that new riders could use – and park – with ease in an urban environment. But it also needed to be just as useable and enjoyable out of town, and also readily accept a pillion.

A steel mono-backbone frame has been employed. Its rigid, square-section tube joins the headstock directly to the swingarm pivot plates and every other part in effect hangs visibly from the frame, greatly contributing to the MSX125’s minimalist look.

Specifically tuned vertical/horizon-

The MSX125’s 125cc two­valve air­cooled engine is based on one of Hon­ da’s most well­proven power units PHOTO: QUICKPIC tal rigidity and flex in the swingarm pivot and engine hanger plates provides the perfect balance of comfort and confidence.

The new frame structure has also enabled efficient storage of PGM-FIrelated components and electrical parts inside the tank cover without reducing fuel capacity (5,5 litres).

Wheelbase is a snug 1200 mm, with rake and trail of 250 and 81 mm and kerb weight of 101,7kg. The MSX125 has a low 765 mm seat height making it very manageable; its size also ensures that holiday makers are sure to find it easy to load/unload, transport and use.

Another aim for the MSX125 was to provide ‘beyond class’ suspension quality. The 31 mm USD fork – a first for Honda on a 125cc motorcycle – reduces unsprung weight and thanks to the pistons’ greater pressure-bearing area (compared to a standard telescopic fork) offers improved damping feel throughout the stroke. The

top and bottom yokes are full-sized, further enhancing handling and rider feel while a lightweight and robust single rear shock operates a simple and tough H-shape, 50 mm x 25 mm steel box section swingarm.

Fundamental to the MSX125’s form and function are its 12-inch cast aluminium wheels, which feature wide 2,5-inch rims. New ‘Y’ shaped spokes not only look great they also save weight and the front 120/70-12 and 130/70-12 rear tyres also inject a different dynamic, both in terms of looks and performance. Hydraulic dual piston front and single piston rear brake calipers work front 220 mm and rear 190 mm discs.

The MSX125 uses a combined projector headlight – not only does this feature give the front of the bike a strong identity and presence, it also uses a single light source (an HS1 35W/35W double filament bulb) rather than a pair of bulbs for both high and low beam. Low beam is generat-

ed by the upper projection unit and high beam is produced by multi-reflectors which spread out in its lower section. A subtle blue light flanks the projector lens and adds character and visibility while the bright LED taillight melts seamlessly into the bike’s stubby silhouette.

Easy to read for its compact size, the LCD digital dash delivers all the information the rider needs – speedometer, twin trip meters, fuel gauge and clock. Resetting the trip meters and clock, or alternation between odometer and trip meter is via switches either side of the display.

The MSX125’s 125cc two-valve aircooled engine is based on one of Honda’s most well-proven power units; recently employed in the Wave 125i, over 930 000 have been produced since initial introduction in 2003, and it’s won universal praise over the last decade for fuel efficiency, ease of use and longevity.

Further development of the engine for the MSX125 has resulted in improved fuel economy; the engine uses low-friction technology such as an offset cylinder and a roller-rocker arm for the valve gear. Reducing crank inertia has also resulted in improved throttle feel and a smooth power delivery.

Imparting a motorcycle feel to the MSX125, the four-speed gearbox is managed via manual clutch and offers smooth and consistent gear changes. The 15T gearbox sprocket, 34T final drive sprocket and 12-inch wheels deliver lively around-town response plus the ability to travel slowly in a high gear – perfect for threading easily through tight traffic.

Sophisticated PGM-FI guarantees highly efficient combustion, and works in conjunction with both air intake and exhaust to deliver an involving experience at the throttle.

The air intake connecting tube and

funnel is divided in two, allowing its length to be optimised for consistent torque delivery at low and mid rpm.

A large, 3-litre airbox and panel-type, wet paper filter provide reliable and quiet airflow; the filter itself has a life of 16 000km.

The exhaust pipe features a larger, 28,6 mm diameter bore with increased 3-litre multi-section muffler volume, allowing a strong power output in the mid and upper rpm ranges.

The muffler itself uses a dual-layer protector, featuring an inner metal cover that contains heat and a resin outer shield. Improving the efficiency of the catalyser has been achieved by placing it in the exhaust pipe itself; the higher temperature triggers earlier activation while an elongated tapered shaped section in front of the catalyser means spent gases strike it evenly.

All in all the MSX125’s engine packs a perfect blend of punchy rollon performance with useful, accessible and fun all-round ability. The effort put into reducing internal friction and increasing intake and exhaust efficiency has also produced a highly economical unit.

Colours Available: Suiting its individuality (and that of its owners) the MSX125 is available in four paint options: •Asteroid Black Metallic •Pearl Himalayas White •Pearl Valentine Red •Candy Pisces Blue * All colours now have colour matched tail section and headlight side cover as well as gold wheels, swing arm pivot bolt and front calipers.

The Honda MSX125 is sold standard with: •Complimentary Rider Training course through the Honda Academy •12 Months Free Roadside Assistance •24 Month unlimited km warranty

Suzuki Swift bereik steeds nuwe mylpale QUICKPIC Suzuki se gewilde Swift-luikrugmotor bereik steeds nuwe mylpale, nie net internasionaal nie, maar ook op plaaslike bodem. Die Swift, wat oorspronklik in 2004 as ’n wêreldmotor bekend gestel is, het sedertdien altesaam 4 miljoen verkope wêreldwyd aangeteken – presies nege jaar en nege maande na die oorspronklike bekendstelling.

Suzuki en sy Indiese filiaal, Maruti, was boonop in Junie vanjaar die twee handelsmerke wat in vergelyking met 2013 globaal die vinnigste gegroei het. Albei kon hulle verkope met meer as 20 persent laat toeneem.

Volgens die gesaghebbende World Brands-webwerf het Maruti se verkope in Junie 2014 met ’n indrukwekkende 27 persent gestyg,

terwyl Suzuki met ’n toename van 23,5 persent kort op sy filiaal se hakke was.

Die Swift versinnebeeld Suzuki se erkende kennis en vernuf wat die ontwerp, ontwikkeling en produksie van klein motors betref. Die oorspronklike weergawe is aanvanklik in Japan gebou, maar word nou in agt lande gemonteer, onder meer in Hongarye, Indië, Sjina en Tailand, en word in meer as 140 lande en streke verkoop.

Die Swift se welslae in Indië is besonder indrukwekkend: die Indiese mark verteenwoordig sowat die helfte van algehele Swift-verkope wêreldwyd.

Europese verkope geld vir ’n verdere 19 persent, terwyl Japan se verkope-aandeel sowat 11 persent behels.

Dis egter nie net die verkoopsyfers wat die Swift se gewildheid be-

nadruk nie: die kompakte luikrug spog ook met ’n indrukwekkende lys toekennings. Die Swift het reeds twee keer – in 2006 en 2010 – die Japanse RJC Motor van die Jaar-titel ingepalm, terwyl die Australiese webwef, motoring.com.au, die Swift drie jaar agtereenvolgens as een van die land se beste eerste motoraankope aangewys het.

Wat Suid-Afrika betref, bly die vraag na die Suzuki Swift, wat in 2008 plaaslik bekend gestel is, eweneens positief. Kumulatiewe verkope na net ses jaar beloop reeds amper 10 000 voertuie.

Die Swift was boonop ’n finalis in die 2009 SA Motor Van Die Jaar-wedstryd.

“Die Swift bly ’n sleutelmodel in Suzuki se voortgesette groei en welslae in Suid-Afrika,” sê Francois van Eeden, Suzuki Auto SA se nasionale bestuurder van bemarking.

Fuel Saving tips for your car Fuel­saving tips with fuel costs at its current high, the following fuel­saving tips will be helpful: *Fill up at night: Petrol evaporates fast, and more petrol is lost through evaporation during the day than at night. * Drive at a constant engine speed: Accel­ eration burns more fuel. * Drive with the windows up: At speeds fast­ er than 80 km/h, the windows should be closed. Thus fuel consumption may be im­ proved by up to 5 percent. *Drive with the windows down: Drive without air condi­ tioning, with the windows down, if the speed is below 80 kmh. The air conditioner puts a load on the engine, increasing fuel consumption.· * “Feel” the engine: Use the feedback from a car’s engine during driving. Allow the car to gain momentum on a downward slope. This inertia will assist the car up the following incline, and only when one starts to lose steam, change to a lower gear. *Plan your route: Driving when traffic is moving well will greatly help to reduce fuel consumption. An idling car in a traffic jam gets zero km per litre

Jeep Cherokee Longitude: oos wes, tuis bes HANS HEESE Jare gelede was daar ’n volbladadvertensie in die nuustydskrif Time met ’n foto van ’n Jeep tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog aan een of ander bloeddorstige gevegsfront. Die enigste byskrif was “Original Sin”. Wat die Jeep met sonde te doen gehad het, weet ek tot vandag toe nog nie. Maar die prentjie van die Jeep in die middel van ’n harde geveg, sal my altyd bybly.

Van buite lyk die Cherokee pure perd op sy 17 duim allooiwielvellings en maak hulle die oop ruimtes om die nisse mooi vol. FOTO: QUICKPIC

Wat wel waar is, is dat die Jeep die VSA gehelp het om die oorlog te wen en dat alle ligte 4X4 voertuie op die mark eintlik maar afstammelinge van hierdie moeder van alle “sondes” was! Dit geld dan ook vir die moderne makers van alle luukse 4X4s.

As sesjarige seun het ek die eerste keer op Oom Danie de Wet se plaas

by Caledon ervaar hoe sy Jeep in reenweer teen ’n damwal kon uitklim en het op die plek ’n Jeep-bekeerling geword. As student is ek en my maats in die middel sestigs na die Goodwood Skou met die uitsluitlike doel om die nuwe Jeep Wagoneer te gaan aanskou; die eerste 4X4 wat soos ’n stasiewa gelyk het en soos ’n motor hanteer het. Dit is eers jare daarna wat die Engelse en die res met soortgelyke voertuie voor die dag sou kom.

Terug na die nuwe Jeep Cherokee met die snaakserige naam Longitude, oftewel lengtegraad in Afrikaans. Het die name nou begin opraak, of het dit te doen met die OosWes debat waar Japannese 4X4 bakkies daagliks op CNN te siene is?

Die Longitude is die intreemodel in die nuwe Cherokee-reeks wat on-

langs bekendgestel is. Anders as die res van die reeks, wat almal dieselfde moderne en byderwetse bakvorm deel, is die Longitude met voorwielaandrywing toegerus en is die enjin die 2.4l Tigershark MultiAir I-4 eenheid wat ’n baie skaflike 130 kW ontwikkel en 229 Nm wringkrag lewer.

Vir gewone en alledaagse gebruik is hierdie krag beslis meer as genoeg; om die waarheid te sê, amper te veel.

Met die wegtrekslag het ’n mens die gevoel gekry dat jy te doen het met ’n senuweeagtige renperd wat net wil hol! Maar hierdie verskynsel kan ook verband hou met die nuwe outomatiese ratkas met sy nie minder as nege ratverhoudings nie. Dit kos versigtig petrol trap om nie die wiele te laat tol nie.

Aan die binnekant is daar alles wat daar verwag word van ’n luukse sedanmotor wat gerief betref en spasie en sitplekke is ontwerp vir groot Amerikaners. Die ekstras sluit dinge soos ’n 7-duim navigasieskerm gekoppel aan ’n klank- en vermaaklikheidsentrum met USB-poorte en die moontlikheid om mondelinge bevele aan die sentrum oor te dra; alles wat in Japan uitgevind is, is teenwoordig. Natuurlik ook die veiligheidstoerusting uit Europa soos die sewe lugsakke wat gekoppel is aan sensors wat vooruit ’n moontlike botsing of omrol-aksie kan voorspel.

Hierdie is eienskappe wat moontlik spruit uit die alliansie tussen Daimler-Benz en Chrysler van so ’n paar jaar gelede. Dit is dan ook nie ’n wonder dat die Cherokee in 2013 die hoogste punte in sy klas in die Europese botsingstoetse behaal het nie.

Van buite lyk die Cherokee pure perd op sy 17 duim allooiwielvellings en maak hulle die oop ruimtes

om die nisse mooi vol. Daar is ook die geheelbeeld dat hierdie voertuig nog steeds die oorwin-alles voorkoms het; iets wat by sommige mededingers ontbreek. Dieselfde geld natuurlik ook vir die Wrangler-modelle wat nog altyd sy klassieke lyne uit die Tweede Wêreldoorlog behou het en lyk soos ’n ware 4X4 behoort te lyk. Noem dit retro-stilering of iets anders, maar dit werk vir ons ware entoesiaste wat nie modebehep is nie en waar funksionaliteit eerste kom. En natuurlik die gepatenteerde aantal balkies op die neus wat die verkoeler beskerm.

Prakties is natuurlik die parkeersensors agter om die relatief groot voertuig in ’n klein parkeerspasie in te kry; senior burgers sal veral hierdie geriefie waardeer! So ook die dubbele stelsel klimaatbeheer wat natuurlik veel meer behels as blote lugversorging.

En wat kos hierdie Amerikaanse ikoon? Die eienaar sal R479 990 minder in sy sak hê as hy hom van die vloer aftrek. As die krag en ekstra toerusting miskien nie op standaard is nie, is daar natuurlik ’n lang lys van toerusting wat teen ’n ekstra prys beskikbaar is, onder andere leerbekleedsel en ’n sondak. Of die koper kan die hardebaard Limiteden Trailhawk-modelle met vierwielaandrywing oorweeg, waarvan sommige ook ewenaarslotte insluit. Die prys vir die hardebaard Cherokee 3.2 l Limited AWD is R563 990en die koning van die reeks, die Cherokee 3.2 l Trailhawk 4WD, kan joune wees vir R607 990.

Slotsom, geniet die (Amerikaanse) verlede in vandag se gemak en styl!

Awesomeness amplified: the updated Kia Picanto QUICKPIC The second-generation Kia Picanto has been turning heads since making its global premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and local market introduction in 2011.

Completely redesigned, the new model – proudly featuring Kia’s iconic ‘tiger nose’ grille – moved the Picanto from ‘cute’ and ‘friendly’ to ‘mature’ and ‘handsome’, combining sporty styling, a high quality interior, frugal and efficient engines and exceptional levels of standard equipment to create a car that is, quite simply, awesome.

The Picanto was born from a simple idea: an affordable car should make no compromises on styling, features or technology.

However, thanks to a mild exterior update, the all-awesome Picanto now looks even sportier and sexier, confidently showing off the design and features that has garnered it multiple awards in the past four years.

And with the latest Picanto, Kia Motors has proven that ‘affordable’

The Picanto’s strongly-sculpted, dynamic side profile and uncluttered rear styling remains unchanged. The 1.0 LX ships with 14inch steel wheels with full wheel covers, while the 1.2 EX features sporty 14-inch alloys.

Two of Kia Motor Corporation’s efficient Kappa engines do duty in the all-awesome Picanto, starting with three-cylinder, 998 cc unit producing 51 kW and 94 Nm of torque in the 1.0 LX. A four-cylinder, 1248cc engine is utilised in the range-topping 1.2 EX, producing 65 kW and 120 Nm of torque.

Both engines are mated to a fivespeed manual transmission, but a four-speed automatic transmission is available as an option.

The Picanto 1.0 LX retails for R130 995* (R142 995* for the automatic version), and the range-topping 1.2 EX for R140 995* (R152 995* for the automatic version).

All derivatives ship as standard with a five-year/ 100 000 km warranty. A two-year/ 45 000 km optional service plan is also available. For more information, visit www.kia.co.za.

BotSoc plants five indigenous trees The Hermanus Botanical Society celebrated International Arbor Week this September by planting five indigenous trees in the Fernkloof Arboretum.

Those planting trees this year were dr Di Marais, Geraldine Gardiner, Jack Bold, manager of Fernkloof Nursery and 2014 winner of the Mayor’s Environmental Trophy, Danielle Gous and Robin Richards, HBS member.

Richards is a grandson of Joseph Storr Lister, who as a young forester, created the arboretum in Tokai and went on to become the first Chief Conservator of For-

ests. Robin’s great- grandfather was Thomas Bain who wrote the report which played such an important part in saving the Knysna forests from the axes of the woodcutters.

Dr Marais thanked everyone present at the tree-planting for their support and said she was “delighted that Cashkows had taken the opportunity to become a part of our local environmental tree planting initiative”.

“I hope their example will inspire other local businesses to follow suit next year by donating or planting trees.”

The Arboretum was estab-

lished in 2010 following an initiative by Max Leipold and the family and friends of Elwen and Chris van Schouwen.

David Beattie and Riaan Maritz were involved in the planning and Frank Woodvine was in charge of choosing, buying and planting the trees.

The Overstrand Municipality recently provided swings and a jungle gym there for youngsters, which, together with the tables and benches in the shade of the established trees, make it a popular place for family picnics.

The Hermanus Botanical Society celebrated In­ ternational Arbor Week by planting five indig­ enous trees in the Fernkloof Arboretum. Here are Danielle Gous, Cashkows Environmental Responsibility representative, Di Marais, chair­ person of the Hermanus Botanical Society and Geraldine Gardiner, HBS Gardening committee.

MOOI GESNOEI, MAAR WAAR’S DIE PERMIT?: Op Donder­ dag 4 September, het dié hoop afgesnyde melkhoutboom­takke in Van Blommensteinstraat langs Onrus­karavaanpark gelê – en dit in Nasionale Boomplantweek! Volgens Bevan Pope van die Onrus Be­ lastingbetalersvereniging het hy aangedring op ’n permit wat jy in jou besit moet hê om melkhoutbome te mag snoei. “Toe ek die per­ soon wat die bome gesnoei het, vra of hy ’n permit het, het hy aan my genoem dat hy dit in opdrag van Overstrand­munisipaliteit gedoen het. Hy het ook aan my verduidelik dat dit nodig was om die voetpad skoon te maak. Dit is wel baie professioneel gesnoei, maar sover my kennis strek moet jy in besit van ’n permit wees om dit te kan doen.” Volgens Roderick Williams, direkteur van gemeen­ skapsdienste by Overstrand­munisipaliteit, is deel van die “skoon­ maak­kontrakteur” se pligte om bome, struike, plante, ens. wat oor sypaadjies of oor paaie groei, te snoei. “Waar bome verhinder dat voertuie, insluitende vragmotors, in hul bane kan beweeg, moet hy die terugsnoei van sulke bome doen, selfs al is dit melkhoutbome.

As dit ’n gevaar of risiko vir motoriste inhou, mag daar vir dié doel gesnoei word.”

On 16 September, the DOGS played an individual stableford (log) at Theewa­ terskloof.

The DOGS were in a bit of a fog when they teed off by the dam and it was even more difficult than usual to see those wayward ball­ flights.

After a few holes though, the sun burnt through and even the stars came out to shine, particularly the Star of David who pipped Mr Se­ curity to claim his maiden DOGS win in many years of trying. Mr Security’s tem­ porarily elevated status was

Universals RC secures league title Universals Rugby Club from Stanford did their supporters proud on Saturday when they beat Cheetahs from Grabouw 30-13.

They have already secured the league title with two games still to go. This young side is playing an exciting brand of rugby and have proven that they have the ability to compete with the top lea-

gues. Ian “Mince” Cornelius was named man of the match.

This was his second game with a 100% kicking record. The hit of the game came from Bjorn, who has grown in stature as the season progressed.

Coach Neil de Kock said: “This is a great team to coach.

Now we have to step up our game to be successful in the play-offs.”

Business league cricket’s 2nd week The second week of the Pennypinchers business league cricket tournament was slightly subdued due to wet weather conditions, but some good cricket was played on Sunday.

Although the highlight of week one was some fast-paced and entertaining batting, week two saw the bowlers get into the action.

Ashwill Barends figures of 1 over, 3 for 3 helped the Stock Tents team to a 16-run victory over the Kwaggas.

A solid bowling performance from the Fusion team prevented Table Tigers batting lineup from firing, and thus Fusion cruised to a 13-run victory.

The Ranked Outsiders bounced back this week, with a solid opening stand between Matt Naylor (28*) and Charlie Jenkins (20*) setting up a challenging target of 75 for the HIK Allstars. However Brandon Smook with 2 overs, 3 for 6, made it a touch too far for the HIK Allstars.

Live the Life Lions battled to gain momentum with the bat against a strong Locals bowl-

ing attack setting a score of 40. Impressive batting from Ishmail September (26*), Johan Botha (26* off 9 balls) and the rest of The Locals team ensured a score of 105, and ultimately a convincing win.

In the final game of the day, the Hermanus Hockey Club bowling attack, spearheaded by John with figures of 2 overs, 4 for 15, restricted Hermanus High to a relatively low score of 52. The Hockey Club team chipped away steadily at their target, eventually winning the game by 10 runs.

In the Over 35 division, the only game played was between Curro Hermanus and Hermanus Towing. The Curro batting line-up was splintered, with only Buksie (23 off 14) making a solid contribution to a score of 55.

The Hermanus Towing team chased this score down with ease, with Raymo van Rooyen showing them the way with 28 runs off 14 deliveries, securing a 19 run victory. See the league’s facebook page for 10 top batsmen and bowler results thus far.

Golf roundup with Julian Shaw On Tuesday, ladies’ day, 27 players took part in a betterball stableford format for the Gertrude Grant trophy.

The winners were Glenda Von Beneke and Ali­ son Toombs on a super 48 points.

On Wednesday, 75 men competed a betterball medal. The winners, Christo Nel and Daniel de Kock, scored a terrific nett 63, and counted out the regular combination of Tony Behagg and Peter Sulley. There were six two clubs and the ball pool paid to 66.

On Saturday, playing individual stableford, An­ dre Sherriff topped the leader board with a great 43 points, narrowly defeating Johan Stander by a single point. Andre also recorded the best score of the day on a nett 63. (I hope the handicapper was watching... Chop, chop!)

There were nine two clubs and the ball pool paid to a generous 36. ) On Friday, the club hosted the Northcliff House College golf day. The Hermanus Golf Club deserves thanks for allowing the day, and all the players, mainly members, for the tremendous sup­ port year on and year out. The weather was bril­ liant and over 100 players took part. A big thanks to all the sponsors of the day.

The format was an alliance stableford and com­ ing out on top this year was almost a replay of last year: Northcliff College principal’s dad, Rod­ ney Page, coming through all the way from Stil­ baai, partnered up with Gert Keuler, Ray Calitz and Alwyn Vorster. Second place went to Danie Calitz, Lucas Steyn, Jurie Jan Swart and Walter Pretorius, both on a brilliant 96 points.

The day was a super success raising about R35 000 for the school.

Until next week, keep calm and go golfing.
