Huisbrake neem toe ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN

Die Joubert-familie het Saterdagoggend 21 Junie in hul huis in Voëlklip wakker geword en besef ’n huisbraak het onder hul neuse plaasgevind.

MY OWN DAUGHTER DID THIS: Well­known community worker,

counsellor and auxiliary social worker at the Hermanus Rainbow Trust, Winnie Nywebeni, stands amongst the charred remains of what was once a lovely bedroom in her home in Zwelihle. Her daughter, who has allegedly been addicted to tik for nearly a year, went in­ to a rage and set fire to the house on Monday 23 June. Winnie says she reported the in­ cident to the Hermanus Police, who are investigating a charge of arson. Her daughter (31) appeared in court on Wednesday. See story on page 2.

Volgens Daniël Joubert het sy dogter om ongeveer 07:00 wakker geword om haar selfoon te laai in die kombuis. “Sy het gesien my skootrekenaar lê nie meer op die eetkamertafel nie, maar gedink een van ons het dit net geskuif.

“Ek het sowat 20 minute later opgestaan om koffie te maak. Ek het gesien my skootrekenaar is weg en my vrou gevra of sy dit iewers anders gesit het. Sy het nie en dis toe wat ons besef hare is ook weg.”

Joubert se dogter het ondersoek kom instel oor die bohaai en besef haar selfoon, wat minute vroeër in die kombuis was, ook weg is. “Die dief moes in die kombuis weggekruip het toe sy ingeloop het.”

Joubert het agtergekom die inbreker het ’n venster in die eetkamer oop forseer.

“Ons het niks gehoor nie. Ons het met verdere ondersoek gesien die dief het my skootrekenaar se sak, my dogter se selfoon, die twee rekenaars, my beursie en horlosie wat op die tafel was, en my vrou se handsak gevat.”

Later dieselfde dag, ná die polisie-ondersoek, het Joubert met sy kleindogter in haar stootwaentjie gaan stap en ’n straat weg van hul huis sy vrou se handsak sien lê. “Die kontant was weg, maar ten minste

het ons haar beursie en kaarte teruggevind. Ek sal my bestuurslisensie, ID en vuurwapenlisensie moet vervang. En ek hoop ek wen nie die Lotto dié week nie.

My kaartjies is ook daarmee heen!”

Volgens Joubert is die ergste die gevoel van privaatheid wat geskend is. “Dis ook nie net die goedere wat altyd vervang kan word nie. Ons foto’s en video’s van ons kinders en kleinkinders is vir altyd verlore.”

Luidens lt. Fadila September van die Hermanus-polisie, was daar die afgelope paar maande ’n toename in huisbrake in die gebied, veral in Voëlklip, Hawston, Mount Pleasant, Sandbaai, Fisherhaven, Zwelihle en Paradise Park.

“Dit blyk of diefstalle veral tydens die wintermaande meer algemeen is. In meeste van die voorvalle word kleiner items, soos gereedskap en visvangtoerusting, skootrekenaars en selfone geteiken en volg ook dieselfde modus operandi.

“Die diewe sal wag tot al die huis se ligte af is en dan toegang verkry deur oop vensters. Ons vra dat die publiek seker maak vensters en deure is toe en gesluit en alarms geaktiveer. ’n Taakspan is tans besig om dag en nag te werk om die skuldiges aan te keer. Ons het ook ’n hele paar spesiale operasies wat voorlê.” Sy vra dat alle verdagte voertuie of persone dadelik aangemeld moet word by die polisie. ) In ’n soortgelyke voorval is ’n kinderfiets etlike meters van die eienaars in Onrus, waar hulle helder oordag sit en eet het, gesteel.

Alliance to fund baboon monitoring JANINE VAN DER RIET The baboon monitor programme in Voëlklip, doomed by budget cuts, will, however, carry on as usual due to a partnership formed between the Overstrand Municipality (OM), Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP) and Working for the Coast.

The baboon monitor programme was started as an initiative by the OM to prevent people from harming baboons that enter and damage residents’ properties.

But as a part of much needed cutbacks, the council decided to do away with the programme leading to a saving of R1,4 million on the 2014/15 budget.

After several meetings between role players, it was decided to continue with the programme.

Working for the Coast will pay the baboon monitor’s salaries, although the new salary packages will be smaller than before, Leon Steyn, environmental specialist at the OM said on Monday.

“The EPWP will sponsor the baboon monitors’ uniforms and the OM will sponsor office space, all equipment and transport for the monitors.”

Steyn further said they are hoping that the cut in salaries can be topped up by residents to keep the current experienced baboon monitors from looking for other

jobs.

“In Pringle Bay, residents, organised by the Ratepayers Association, have been working together with Working for the Coast for the past year.

“The Association tops up the difference in salaries and by doing that, they have the most experienced and loyal monitors and it is a great success.” ) After a baboon was shot and killed, and another poisoned in Voëlklip last week, an older female baboon was knocked over by a vehicle on Friday late afternoon on the main road in Voëlklip. The baboon ran in front of a Toyota Corolla while she crossed the road..

Steyn says baboon monitors were on the scene within minutes and found the seriously injured baboon stuck in a part of the engine of the car.

“The baboon monitors had to physically lift the car in order to remove the baboon. The baboon then continued to run until the monitors, members of the OM and CapeNature found her in a critical state a few metres from where the accident had taken place.”

A veterinarian was called to the scene where he decided to immediately put the baboon down due to the serious injuries she had suffered.

The driver of the Corolla was not injured and the car was not damaged except for the number plate that had fallen off.

Understanding baboons and their habits ­ do’s and dont’s JANINE VAN DER RIET After a pregnant baboon was shot and killed, and another poisoned last week in Voëlklip, Hermanus Times (19/06/2014) Baboons killed, the environmental specialist at the Overstrand Municipality (OM) Leon Steyn, gave an insight into understanding baboons so that residents can be informed on what to do when they have encounters with baboons.

According to information documents from the OM and CapeNature, baboon numbers in certain troops are declining at an alarming rate. They suffer many injuries and deaths - if the death rate continues at the present pace, the viability of the population will be threat-

ened.

Baboons are a protected species in the Western Cape, thus it is illegal to feed baboons, to poison, trap, hurt or kill a baboon. All of these offences are punishable by law and carry stiff penalties.

Baboons on your property: Baboons are attracted by food and enter the villages with the sole purpose of finding food.

A baboon troop can cause extensive damage to your home, it is therefore essential to effectively manage your property, to make it less attractive to baboons.

Keep rubbish secure in a baboon-proof dustbin and practice good waste management.

Compost should be contained in composting bins.

The easiest way to get baboons off your property is by turning the hosepipe on them.

They hate getting wet!

Also, do not leave dog food outside and if you plant fruit trees and vegetable gardens, you will be attracting baboons.

Baboons in your home: If baboons gain access to your home it is important to remain calm and to not block their exit route.

If you panic, the baboons could panic and in doing so, may run frantically around the house causing even more damage.

First and foremost, you must make it obvious that you are confident and serious about getting them out. Back off slowly and identify the baboon’s

shortest escape route.

To coax a stubborn baboon out your house, try using a water spray bottle (never use anything stronger than water, as they might react negatively).

Feeding a baboon could mean its death sentence: Baboons have learnt that humans are a good source of food and can show aggressive behaviour in their efforts to gain access to food. They jump into cars and onto people in their search for food.

Once baboons show aggression, the authorities are forced to shoot them. ) Contact the Overstrand Municipality control room on 028 313 8000 or 028 313 8111 if you encounter problems with baboons.

3 Celia and Rayno bid Burgundy farewell after 4 years HermanusTimes

Nuus News

The landmark restaurant Burgundy and its owners are synonymous with all that is good and delicious about Hermanus.

But Celia and Rayno Rabie have decided the time has come for them to move on.

Burgundy has seen its fair share of changes since it was built in 1876, and now, after four years at its helm, the Rabies will hand over the reins to new owners.

Talking to Frieda Lloyd, the Rabies said they regard ownership of the Burgundy as the ultimate experience for a local restauranteur – “the cherry on the Hermanus eat-out scene” – and feel that they have restored the reputation of this golden oldie to the stature it deserves. ”Four years ago we saw the potential offered and worked hard to awaken all the happy memories shared by different generations of Hermanus visitors.

“Clients remember the Cyprus Tea Room with fondness and the Burgundy is currently an estab-

Celia and Rayno Rabie are looking forward to relaxing and recharging their batteries now that they have sold Burgundy. “We feel we have restored Burgundy to its righteous place as an esteemed Hermanus restaurant and it is time to take a break. It truly was a matter of the right offer at the right time. We are looking forward to having time to sit down and enjoy being customers for a change.”

lishment where friendships are rekindled and memories made,” remarked Rayno. ”This is a restaurant that is not only about serving good food it is also about community, development and involvement. Well entrenched in the community with more than 60 staff members, an involvement and an interest in the business community has made Burgundy and its people a tourism interface for the region,” says Rayno.

Adds Celia: “Burgundy employees have remained through ownership changes with the longest employment record being 26 years and the average employee working for 10 years.”

Celia says that she will miss her staff as much as she will miss the clients: “Our clients and staff were our world”. ) New owners, Willem en Esthie Steyn, said they feel privileged to take over the jewel of Hermanus and thankful to Rayno and Celia for building up this restaurant to this successful business that it is.

Leopard sculpture showcased Bool Smuts and Carolyn Martin with the sculpture of a leop­ ard made of 220 gin traps.

PHOTO: CILENE BEKKER

In keeping with its predator friendly status, Creation Wines recently unveiled a life-sized version of a Cape Leopard on their front lawn.

What gives this sculpture the wow factor is that it was created from 220 gin traps that were gathered from farms in the Baviaanskloof region in the Eastern Cape during one of the Landmark Foundation’s effort to gather as many as they could. The effort was aided by an award of R50 paid for each gin trap.

“We eventually collected a bakkieload of traps – symbolising a pile of collective suffering,” said Bool Smuts of the Landmark Foundation.

A gin trap (also referred to as “soft catch traps”, “slaughter irons” or “steel jawed leg traps”) is made up of two metal jaws, one or two springs that slam the jaws closed, and a trigger plate in the middle.

When an animal steps on the trigger, the jaw closes around the foot, preventing the animal from escaping.

The unveiling at Creation coincided with an information session. According to Carolyn Martin, co-owner and marketing director, the sculpture will remain with them for some months – “serving as a symbol of our ongoing commitment to conserving nature’s rich gifts to our land.

“We also trust that this will raise awareness of the plight of leopards and encourage more farms to join the foundation in their quest to make more areas available for the Cape Leopard to roam freely.”

The sculpture was created by Robert Leggat and is on loan to Creation from the Landmark Foundation.

Eventually the sculpture will find a home in Kirstenbosch.

Paraplegic on mobility Youths and motorist foil robbery scooter attacked ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN

JANINE VAN DER RIET “To try and take away his last bit of independence, while we are battling so much already, is sickening!”

So said Paulette Peyrot after her husband was attacked on his mobility scooter in front of Abagold near the New Harbour on his way home from the physiotherapist.

Steven (43) suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS) and cancer and drives his mobility scooter to Hermanus’ industrial area daily, as the family cannot afford an automatic car for him.

Three men ran towards Steven on Friday at around 17:30 while he was driving towards the Beach Club, where the couple live.

“The men tried to pull him off the scooter while looking for things to steal in the basket attached to the front of the scooter.

“A towel, that he used during his physiotherapy session was the only item in the basket,” said Paulette.

Luckily two other men saw the incident and ran towards Steven to

help him. Security guards from Abagold also ran to Steven’s aid.

Paulette, who works at the Beach Club, was informed of the incident by her husband on his arrival.

“His ribs are bruised as well as other parts of his body and he is experiencing a lot of pain,” she says.

“Now, every time he leaves the house to go to the physiotherapist or elsewhere, we are both stressed and worried.”

The family is hoping to find a cheap, automatic car soon, so that they don’t have to worry about his safety and so Steve can regain his confidence and independence.

Paulette says she hopes that people walking in the area will be on the lookout for dangerous characters. “There are a lot of kids walking to and from the Beach Club and they should really be careful.”

The family was allegedly too shocked to report the incident to the police.

“Our family would like to express our sincere gratitude to the two unknown men who, even after the ordeal, walked Steven all the way to the entrance of the Beach Club,” she adds.

STILL MISSING: There is still no sign of the 68­year­old man from Parow who went miss­ ing in rough sea conditions last week. The man had reportedly been standing on the rocks in front of The Beach Club com­ plex near the New Harbour with a friend. Both were swept off the rocks, but his friend managed to get to shore safely. The Hermanus NSRI volunteer sea rescue duty crew, the Hermanus police and the Western Cape Government Health EMS and EMR ambulance services responded, but after an extensive search, there is still no sign of the missing man.

Business owners fed up with flooding KERRY VAN RENSBURG Business owners in the centre of town are pretty fed up and frustrated with the perpetual flooding of Main Road.

“Seven times in five years is getting a bit much and the frequency is increasing,” says Johan Pretorius, optometrist at Pappin and Pretorius.

“We were promised a R2 million allocation to upgrade the storm-water drainage problem, but nothing happened when the new road was built.

“New storm-water draining was put in front of Debonairs, but the main line in front of Seeff is the same 20 cm pipe from years ago. So, what happens is that the water accumulates and reaches Main Road quicker from other streets,” Pretorius says.

He is not alone when it comes to battling with flooded roads and pavements. Louis Saayman from Fleurs Bloemiste and Jaco van der Merwe from Seeff Properties have voiced the same concerns Margie Frost, receptionist at Seeff, says during the last heavy downpour the water was three times higher than the height of the pavement because the small storm-water drain on the corner of the road near their office could not cope.

Frost says the situation has become worse since the road was resurfaced and after the last major downpour, between 4 and 6 June, the pavement collapsed and people are tripping over it.

Several businesses were closed for a week in November after suffering major flood damage. According to Pretorius, insurance companies are refusing to pay once again and the affected businesses have to seek com-

pensation from the municipality.

“Being flooded twice in five days is ridiculous,” he says.

The municipality and traffic department had responded within an hour and waterworks, three hours later, to try and clear the drains. Pretorius says the road was closed on the Wednesday when the flooding was at its worst, but by Saturday around midday, drivers were racing to see who could create the biggest wave, which flooded premises even more.

Pretorius, Van der Merwe and Saayman agree that the road should be closed immediately if it is flooded and they expect the drains to be cleaned weekly to minimise damage to the affected properties.

At the re-opening ceremony of the newly resurfaced Main Road on 14 February, the mayor warned that it was not the end of the roadworks because the outdated storm-water system would require more work in the future, to the tune of R1,9 million. It was reported then that there is currently no budget for this project.

Roderick Williams, director of Community Services confirmed that there is no funding available in the 2014/15 financial year for this project and will have to be reconsidered in the next financial year.

He says the maintenance team will continuously monitor the situation and in the case of extensive flooding, give priority to alleviate the problem.

CILENE BEKKER Hierdie tong-in-die kies opsomming van die Hermanus ‘Top Sjef’-kookkompetisie wat Saterdagaand by die Grobbelaarsaal plaasgevind het is deur een van die beoordelaars, Rudolph van der Berg van Savannah Café, kwytgeraak.

Die kompetisie is georganiseer deur Projek Hoop om geld in te samel vir Operasie Mobilisasie, ’n wêreldwye organisasie wat hom onder meer beywer vir die bekamping van hedendaagse slawerny.

Elf spanne, bestaande uit twee kokke, twee tafeldekkers en vier ondersteuners, het deelgeneem teen R150 per kop. Die drie beoordelaars, Van der Berg, Anli van Vuuren van Hermanus Gholfklub en Frans Groenewald van Gabriëls-

kloof, was die enigste professionele sjefs. Die deelnemende ‘kokke’ het onder meer bestaan uit afgetredenes, maatskappybestuurders, rekenmeesters en huis-kombuiskokke.

Die saal het soos ’n verenigde nasie-dinee gelyk met tafels wat volgens landstemas gedek is. Die wentafel se tema was Griekeland.

Disse is voorberei op gasstofies in ’n allegaartjie van potte en panne, en bestanddele het gekom van ’n geheime mandjie (hoender, porkloin, pruime, vars mossels, spek en arborio rys) en ’n volgepakte bykostafel.

Die wenners van die beste voorgereg was Clayton Delplanque en Dino Pinto en die wenhoofgereg is voorberei deur die Operasie Mobilisasie-span. Projek Hoop gaan die geld ingesamel aan Operasie Mobilisasie (OM) skenk as deel van hul Freedom Climb-inisiatief. Vir meer inligting gaan gerus na www.omafrica.org/tablemountainchallenge.

Baie moeite is gedoen met die dek van die ta­ fels volgens landstemas.

Hierdie een was Span­ je.

Hoewel geklee in ’n netjiese wit sjef­baadjie is ‘kok’ Johan Hugo eintlik ’n rekenmeester.

Sy spanmaat was Juan Pieterse, ook in die fi­ nansiële afdeling by Abagold. Saam met Jo­ han by die bykostafel is Francois Barnard (Harbour Rock) en Peter Deverson (Intravel).

Liezl Skein (links) het die beoordelaars in ’n goeie luim gesit met ’n proesel Griekse Ou­ zo. Die beoordelaars was Frans Groenewald, Rudolph van der Berg en voor is Anli van Vuuren.

Algemeen General

Double bill for history buffs If history interests you there are two events of significant historical value coming up.

From 2 - 17 July the international Anne Frank - A History for today, travelling exhibition will be hosted at the auditorium.

The Frank family’s history is juxtaposed against world events before, during and after the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi Party. By placing complex historical events against the backdrop of the life of one young person, the exhibition enables visitors to gain a greater understanding of human rights, and provides the opportunity to explore democracy and positive citizenship, diversity and community cohesion, and the terrible human consequences of persecution and war.

Horse lady’s story comes to stage The Hermanus History Society in association with award-winning playwright and director Charles J. Fourie, will present an evening of entertaining theatre also at the auditorium on Friday 4 July.

Fourie’s production of his play, Ella’s Horses, is based on the true story of the ‘horse lady of Hermanus’. It tells the story of the eccentric Ella Gordon, who barters a deal with her local priest to take her beloved horses and dogs to heaven.

Ella Gordon was a Scottish immigrant who came to South Africa with a touring circus during the early 1900s. She settled in Hermanus and later moved to her farm at Karwyderskraal, where she built a church and school. She also dedicated her life to the local community and her beloved horses, for which she built the famed horse graveyard.

It is the only one of its kind in South Africa and can still be seen today.

The award-winning production features acclaimed television and film actors Deirdré Wolhuter and Leonard Moss. The evening is hosted to raise funds for the Hermanus History Society whose aim it is to restore the heritage and history of Hermanus for future generations. Your support of this event will be greatly appreciated.

Tickets for the performance at 19:00 cost R80. For bookings contact Angela Heslop at e-mail: aheslop@hermanus.co.za. Tickets will also be available at the auditorium from 18:30 on the evening.

LADIES WHO LUNCH AND READ: The first Stanford Tourism’s Lit­ erary Lunch­ es series takes place at lunch time at Madre’s Kitchen on Sunday 6 July. The event will include a reading and fireside chat by fairly new South African author and star on the rise, Diane Awerbuck. The event begins with sherry on arrival at 12:15. The cost is R180 per head; there is seating for 40 only, so book now with Philippa at philippa.mur­ ray@gmail.com. Diane Awerbuck’s first book Gardening at Night, won the 2004 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for best first book (Africa and the Caribbean). Her collection of short stories, Cabin Fever, includes Phosphorescence, which has been shortlisted for the Caine Prize for Af­ rican writing, which will be an­ nounced on 14 July. Her novel Home Remedies also gained much local praise

Taking the penguin plunge...

After bracing the icy cold water of Klein River in Stanford to take the an­ nual Penguin Plunge are Felix Unite, Bernard Oberholzer, Piet Human, Mortimer Lee and Su Wolf.

ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN A total of 36 brave souls (and two dogs) took on the icy waters of Klein River in Stanford Saturday to help raise funds for Stanford Rotary during the fourth annual Penguin Plunge.

The weather played along beautifully and drew quite a few plungers and chickens (who stood by for moral support) to the plunge.

Anton Duivestein started the initiative in 2011 after a dare by one of the locals. “I enjoy swimming in the river throughout the year and I have heard about a similar initiative overseas.

“I then approached the Rotarians, who said

they needed to raise funds for the local soup kitchen.

“Now, every year on the Saturday closest to the shortest day, we take the plunge.”

The event was sponsored by Springfontein Winery who provided glüwhein and hot chocolate for the plungers.

A total of R6 140.00 was raised and handed over to Rotary.

Suné Greeff heads for Paarl KERRY VAN RENSBURG Tourism manager at the Overstrand Municipality for the past two years and eight months, Suné Greeff, has decided to spread her wings (and follow her heart) and is heading for Paarl.

With 20 June being her last day as the champion of the Cape Whale Coast, the Hermanus Times caught up with her to find out how tourism in the Overstrand has benefited from her input and experience in the tourism industry, and what the future holds for her.

Q: What have been some of the highlights for you as tourism manager for the Cape Whale Coast?

A: We were the first region in the Western Cape to have its own brand ambassador; we now have a newly designed website for the CWC which is mobile friendly. I am also proud of the winter campaigns we established with Thompsons holiday packages, and the implementation, application and development of the CWC brand.

Q: What challenges have come your way?

A: There is a perception that we are a big team, but the reality is that for the first year it was only me, and now there is a second tourism officer to help. There are many administrative processes that come with working for local government.

Suné Greeff has resigned as the Overstrand Municipality’s tourism manager and takes up her new position at Drakenstein Tourism on 1 July. PHOTO: KERRY VAN RENSBURG What was overwhelming when I arrived in Hermanus, was having to do the compulsory Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA) training course. That was a personal challenge for me – a part-time course that lasted one-and-a-half years and a full time job.

Q: Tell us more about your responsibilities as municipal tourism manager.

A: It’s a very public role, a very service orientated role, and a very important role. I was here for the whole of the Whale Coast and to or-

ganise the four tourism bureaus in our area and promote the unique attractions of each town. It’s a diverse and totally hands on position – there is no delegation – you do it yourself and I had to be multi-skilled, doing everything from website marketing to campaigns, shows and exhibitions, and writing press releases.

Q: Why the decision to leave?

A: I am leaving for “personal reasons” which have to do with a special man in my life. He is in Durbanville and this is where I am headed.

It’s been a long distance relationship and my new position as marketing manager at the Drakenstein Local Tourism Association, where I start on 1 July, has made the move that much easier.

Q: What will you miss?

A: In my career in the tourism industry, I learnt the most in this position. I feel proud to have worked for this municipality. The place (Hermanus) has really stolen my heart and it will be difficult to market another area. I believe in this area as a tourism product.

Q: What is your advice to your successor?

A: Work closely with the four tourism bureaus and maintain the relationship with their committees as team work is important. Have a good relationship with people in the tourism industry as a whole. Improve on what has already been done, as most of the structures are now in place.

Rotary Anns support worthy causes KERRY VAN RENSBURG Rotary Anns made generous cash donations to nine organisations active in the Hermanus community at a special function on Friday 20 June.

The Hermanus Rotary Anns and a group of committed volunteers run the Bargain Box, which is predominantly a second-hand clothing shop.

The money generated by this flagship fundraising shop is used to provide food parcels for needy families and to support numerous non-governmental organisations on a monthly basis. Most of the R114 000 (gross) the shop generated this year is used on the monthly donations, and a portion is allocated each year for a group of beneficiaries who send a wish list to the Anns.

Christel Augustyn, outgoing past president of the Rotary Anns, said they visited each of the organisations that were selected to receive financial support, and were amazed at the good work being done. R30 000 was shared between the nine selected beneficiary organisations.

Augustyn said they trimmed down the number of beneficiaries this year to give a more substantial amount to the worthy causes they have chosen

Past president of the Hermanus Rotary Anns, Christel Augustyn (seated front left) and incoming president of the organisation, Monica Hamman (standing back left) with some of the Bargain Box volunteers and repre­ sentatives from the beneficiary organisations who were presented with donations at a special hand over function at Mollegren Park on Friday 20 June.

The donations were distributed as follows: ) Anima who asked for horse-riding lessons for their learners; ) Cansa who need a guillotine as well as cutlery and glasses; ) Overstrand Hospice who will buy medical supplies; ) Overstrand Wheelchair Association who will buy a two-plate stove and groceries; ) Huis Lettie Theron plan to buy a mini Hi-Fi and two egg box mat-

tresses; ) the Recycle Swop Shop will buy food items for their Swop Shop in Zwelihle; ) the NSRI will use their donation for needs at Sation 17; and ) the NG Church in Onrus wants to build a path for wheelchair users.

At the end of the presentation of donations, Augustyn, who completed her term as president of the organisation, handed over the reigns to Monica Hamman, who will now continue as president of the Rotary Anns.

’Save a tie, save a child’ Mrs Cape Town 2013, fashion and image stylist Chantal Witthuhn from Kleinmond, will be hosting the “Save a Tie, Save a Child” Fashion Show Fundraising Event on 27 and 28 June.

The concept of recycling and transforming old and unused ties was birthed over four years ago when Witthuhn visited friends in the UK and met a designer who was fashioning a waistcoat out of old ties.

As an avid recycler, Witthuhn used the Mrs Cape Town platform to demonstrate her passion as a fashion stylist to promote and establish the event and cause. A request for old and unused ties was sent out and over 4 000 ties have been collected.

Witthuhn contacted a few fashion designers and Hein Smit and Marshall Enyioma (both Tableview area) and Saskia Wicomb (Stellenbosch) have agreed to sponsor the designs, by funding and creating it at their own cost.

Each will be designing 12 to 15 outfits, which will eventually be auctioned.

The Mrs Cape Town charity

One of the designs made out of ties that will be showcased. beneficiary is the RoleModels Foundation Imfundo Project, an initiative and support for preschool and aftercare facilities in disadvantaged areas.

The event will be hosted at the All Star Theatre, Cape Gate Lifestyle Centre in Brackenfell, on 27 and 28 June starting at 18:30, at R280pp. Bookings: Computicket.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Audacity of criminals Whether it’s a child’s bicycle pinched virtu­ ally from under your eyes, or laptops and cellphones stolen while your family is asleep, these on­going criminal incidents reinforce the knowledge that none of us are immune to these kind of audacious acts.

Hermanus has had a rough week on the criminal activity front, with cowardly crimi­ nals targeting a father of three who, be­ cause of a debilitating illness, has to rely on a mobility scooter to get around. And a woman waiting for a taxi was stabbed in the head because a thief wanted her cell­ phone.

A robber at Pennypinchers did not get far with his loot, thanks to the quick action taken by a brave group of youngsters on bicycles and another member of the public who came to the rescue.

And a sculpture at Gearing’s Point, which forms part of the outdoor public art exhibition, was damaged this week, either by vandals or some­ one trying to steal it from its plinth.

While the statue cannot feel pain, it’s a sad day when a thing of beauty meant for all to enjoy is targeted by people who have no regard for other people or their things.

And all these incidents combined are a harsh reminder that none of us are really safe from potential malicious attacks.

Don’t blame innocent creatures for invading Thank you for a well reasoned and intelligent comment on the baboons and the human problem. Living with wild life is not difficult if we accept our responsibilities and don’t blame innocent creatures for invading what is actually their long standing territory.

Perhaps we have a few people who need any excuse to use a gun in order to satisfy their masculinity. The municipality must rethink the decision to stop the monitoring.

Gesteelde fiets gevind Op Maandag 16 Junie het ons hele gesin middagete geëet in ons eetkamer toe ons kleinseun se fiets skaars 5 meter van ons af uit die huis uit gesteel is! Ons het vinnig straat-op en straat-af gery op soek na die dief maar….. tevergeefs!

Later die middag het ons die diefstal aangemeld by ’n baie vriendelike vroue polisiebeampte. Ons was amper seker dat dit die laaste sien van die fiets was en het maar die baie hartseer kleinseun getroos.

Groot was ons verbasing toe ons net ’n dag later ’n oproep kry dat ons weer die fiets moet beskryf want dis moontlik teruggevind.

Dieselfde middag lui speurder-konstabel Owen Matiai ons voordeurklokkie met die fiets in sy polisiemotor. Die fiets is by die taxistaanplek in die dorp teruggevind waar die dief dit probeer verkwansel het.

Ons wil die Hermanus-polisie bedank vir die flinke diens. Dis voorwaar gerusstellend om te weet ons kan op julle staatmaak.

Ons weet weereens dat dit ’n goeie besluit was om op Hermanus te kom aftree.

Wonder what is eating our hens?

Kondome by Fernkloof onvanpas

Reading the article on page two of the HT week before last has confused my thinking completely.

We have a large property in Bergsig Street and have always kept chickens, enjoying the fresh bright orange farm eggs and listening to the beautiful sound of our rooster’s crowing early in the morning.

Over the last four months we have lost twenty hens. Disappeared at night. We found some half eaten on the outside of our 2 m security fence. I thought at first it must be a wild cat, maybe a civet, but when a large hen that must weigh about 3-4 kilogram disappeared off her nest of eggs two weeks ago without a noise and just a couple of small feathers, I changed my suspicions to a lynx.

After reading the article of the owl and seeing the photo of the buzzard on the same page I feel like a chameleon on a “Smarty” box. I do not know what to think. I have now locked up my remaining rooster and 4 hens in a large pen covered on the sides and on top but on Monday night something dug under the fence and took another hen. Back to the lynx idea.

But like my neighbour says, with the bush covered plots in Bergsig Road anything is to be expected. This all happened after our dog died; I cannot wait for our new dog or for the municipality to clear the plots which the owner won’t do. Oh well, back to the yellow eggs.

Ek ondersteun ten volle die verontwaardiging van die leser (Hermanus Times 19 Junie) rakende die opgestapelde bokse kondome in die toilette van die Fernkloof Natuurreservaat.

Ek wil selfs verder gaan: Dit is vir my totaal onaanvaarbaar om elke keer wanneer ek, plaaslik of landswyd, ’n publieke toilet besoek, met opgestapelde en oopgeskeurde houers kondome gekonfronteer te word.

Wat sê dit van ons as Suid-Afrikaners? Sê dit dat ons ten alle tye seksbehep rondbeweeg - in hierdie geval selfs wanneer ons ’n natuurreservaat besoek?

Die senior bestuurder van munisipale operasionele dienste verduidelik, in reaksie op die beswaar, dat die kondome versprei word deur ’n nie-regeringsorganisasie wat verwag dat dit in alle openbare badkamers geplaas word. Ek het ’n probleem daarmee as ’n nie-regeringsorganisasie aan ’n munisipaliteit voorskryf, en is van mening dat kondome in die Fernkloof toilette totaal onvanpas is, en nie daar toegelaat behoort te word nie. Dalk is dit tyd dat daar deur die munisipaliteit na al die kondoom-verspreidingspunte gekyk word, of dit daar enigsins gepas is, en of dit ordelik en diskreet gedoen word.

Get with it, old chap! of, Kom by my ou!

Brian Slade’s ‘Circulation should determine language policy’ (HT 19/6) refers.

The writer decries ‘petty nationalism’ as being responsible for the Hermanus Times’s use of Afrikaans and pleads for pragmatism in its language policy.

I don’t know Slade or his origins, but he seems to be an exemplar of the insufferably arrogant English cultural nationalism which has been bugging victims of it for centuries all over the world.

Their mantra has always been: Let’s be pragmatic and give the English all they want, including our gold and diamonds and their empire, and then thank them for their generous civilising of us savages!

However, in this day and age, Slade’s

attitude has become the amusing anachronism - sometimes even quite endearing, given its old-world naivety - of an imperialist still loyal to a long departed empire.

There are even some Afrikaners among us who still, even more amusingly, share this sentiment.

The slogan ‘God is in his Heaven, the Queen is on her throne, the natives in their place and all is well’ no longer applies, Mr. Slade, have you noticed?

Ek kan maar net vir mnr. Slade sê: Kom by, my ou! (In deference to Mr. Slade’s pragmatism, bless him, a translation would be: ‘Get with it, old chap!’).

Congratulations FynArts, on Youth Day concert As lovers of classical music my wife and I used to go to the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra’s concerts after our retirement to Hermanus.

This we had to give up considerable time ago due to advancing age (and petrol prices!).

So, when a friend phoned to tell us that he had two tickets for the concert at the Hawston Thusong Hall, which they were unable to use due to a sudden family commitment, and would we like to have the tickets, we certainly accepted, never imagining what sort of treat we were in for!

From the first note of Verdi, through Mendelsohn’s violin concerto superbly played by 17-year-old Jeffrey Armstrong, a wonderful cello concerto and solo played by Abel Selaocoe, to the finale, which was the 4th movement of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony – we were absolutely spellbound, as was the rest of the audience in the seemingly packed to capacity Thusong Hall.

The conductor, Brandon Phillips, the soloists, and the young musicians of the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra certainly deserved the ovation they received.

Homo Sapiens Where there is prosperity there is development. Where there is money there is animal abuse. Where there are humans there are selfish decisions.

I love the “Fisherman’s Village” theme – but I want it all (aka Queen). If you don’t like the rapid expansion of Hermanus, go to Frasierburg or Elliot or Butterworth or Koffiefontein or Nieuwoudtville or any other small dot on the map.

Kill the baboon – he eats my proteas, he steals my figs, he smells my bananas and breaks in to enjoy. Chop down the 100-year old Norwegian pine – it spoils my view of the ocean or horizon or whatever. Oh what a cute puppy – let’s buy and breed and dump at HAWS when we are fed-up.

We are appalled by the horrible rituals undertaken by the Marikana miners to make themselves “invincible” (eg. burning sheep alive to eat their ashes), but we see the same trend among well-off Europeans. Shoot, kill, abandon, chop down, destroy – all for their own pleasure and convenience..... (Written in English by an Afrikaner – please feel free to revise).

What to do about barking dogs A question to the director of law enforcement in Hermanus. Kindly advise me of my rights as homeowner and taxpayer in Hermanus with regard to the incessant barking of neighbours’ dogs? Please also advise me and the public of our responsibilities regarding keeping dogs that bark unattended at home? I am rapidly losing my patience, and sanity, as a result of this problem.

BART OTTO, VERMONT

Neville Michaels, Director: Protection Services answers: The Overstrand Municipal By-law regarding the Keeping of Dogs and Cats P.N. 6540 of 2008, prohibits a person to keep a dog that barks excessively. Sec 4.(b) states that: “No person may keep a dog which barks, whimpers or howls to such an extent that it, or has another habit which, causes an unreasonable disturbance or nuisance to inhabitants of the neighbourhood.”

A person that would like to lay a complaint regarding a dog nuisance may do so by contacting the Law Enforcement Department of the Over-

11

strand Municipality at 028 313 8996/5 during office hours. A statement will be taken from the complainant and the matter will be investigated by the Law Enforcement officials.

The onus to control a dog is on the owner. An owner who does not comply with the provisions of the by-law may receive a written warning notice.

Failure to adhere to the notice may result in further legal action whereby the owner may receive a fine of R100 for the first offence. A second offence may result in a fine of R300. If the owner is fined for the third time the matter will be referred directly to court without the choice of a fine and the dog may be impounded according to Sec 11(1)(a)(ii) of the by-law.

It is however advisable that the complainant tries to resolve this matter in an amicable fashion by bringing it under the neighbour’s attention before laying a charge at the Law Enforcement office.

The by-law is available at the libraries and on the official Overstrand Municipality website, www.overstrand.gov.za.

Thank you Hermanus for helping make FynArts work!

Hermanus FynArts 2014 has come and gone, but hopefully the music will linger on.

Thank you for helping Hermanus Tourism grow a festival that is starting to make waves!

As Stefan Hundt, curator of the Sanlam exhibition, commented: FynArts is an unusual festival and a special one that has been conceptualised and grown from within the local community.

Stefan is spot on. Suggestions, advice, support and feedback from so many people in Hermanus – and a growing number of highly respected artists, musicians and “festival people” further afield – is nudging the festival into becoming a festival to be reckoned with.

The newly formed advisory board and the individual members of Hermanus Tourism management committee are committed to the concept of FynArts and have developed events and offered their expertise.

A small and invaluable team of two has also lifted the media coverage for FynArts beyond the boundaries of Hermanus. And a growing band of volunteers offered their time to man exhibitions.

It is these people who have contributed in a very real way to the success of FynArts.

A special word of thanks is due to our sponsors.

Sanlam Private Investments, Tollman/Bouchard Finlayson, Standard Bank, Overstrand Municipality, Business and Arts South Africa, Sumaridge, PSG, Benguela Cove, ADT and SAFE, Pam Golding and the Hermanus Times.

Thank you also to a couple of benefactors who made it possible to offer seats to those less privi-

leged and contributed to some events in Hawston and Zwelihle. Thank you to Rotary who have been a generous and material support at concerts, and to Walker Bay Nursery and Okasie Flowers. And many thanks to the local media – Hermanus Times, Whale Talk, Splash and Village Explorer who generously included articles over many months and helped to create a buzz.

Thank you too for the generous support of the accommodation members of Hermanus Tourism, we would not have been able to put up the growing number and calibre of presenters and musicians we were able to attract.

It would be remiss not to give special mention to the staff of the Windsor and Marine Hotels who coped with enthusiasm and commitment with an influx of visitors to exhibitions, workshops, tastings, dinners and a great deal of sponsored accommodation. The galleries too have worked hard to put on special exhibitions.

And then there is Mission Control – the fabulous and ever calm Tourism-office team of Gardean, Chantel, Anneline, Eric and Julie under the leadership of Celeste Scheepers. Their support, dedication, and their determination that all would run smoothly – and their insight into what was needed when, where and how was overwhelming.

On behalf of Hermanus Tourism thank you Hermanus. For everything. Roll on FynArts 2015.

Peil daar ’n kruitvat water op ons af?

Met so baie warm lug wat bo ons koppe skynbaar doelloos rondslenter, weet ons daar is langer dae en korter nagte wat op ons wag. Maar ook dat dit te vroeg is om te “raai” of die Kaapse reëns nou gaan end kry. Dit is ook of die wolke vir ons wil sê nog reën is op pad.

Die Overstrand se merkbare verandering in temperature het Dinsdagoggend begin met onstuimige lugstrome wat vroegoggend minstens drie verskillende wolksoorte geskep het, elkeen met sy eie moontlikhede.

Die “moontlikheid” van klam lug die volgende paar dae het egter dramaties verander in ’n “kruiwa vol water wat op ons afpeil”.

Ons moet altoos na wolke kyk teen die agtergrond dat hulle deur voorspelbare toestande in die bolug geskep word, en nie andersom nie. ’n Voorbeeld is wanneer ’n sigbare lugstroom (jetstream) uit die noordweste in ons rigting dryf. Vir weerkykers sê dit dat die lugstroom aan die rant van ’n hoogdruk is. Dit is die grens tussen warm en koue lug, waar konveksie plaasvind.

Om in ’n neutedop aan leke, wat nie weerinstru-

mente het nie, te verduidelik wat om die naweek te verwag terwyl die teenwoordigheid van die berge rondom ons in ag geneem word, is nie soos trippe, trappe, trone in storieboeke nie.

Waaroor ons nie durf saamgesels nie is die oorsaak van onstabiele lug wat grootmense spookstories oor eindtye en profete se dinge laat opdiep.

Wat ons weet is dat temperature ná elke ongereelde (onstabiele) lugverskuiwing vinnig verander en dat die bietjie ekstra son na 22 Junie nie ’n faktor is om koue weg te hou nie.

Feit is dat Antarktika tans warmer as gewoonlik lug na ons toe opgestuur het en dat groter konveksie plaasgevind het as wat verwag is. Dit word ’n hengse neerslag van 15 mm tussen Donderdagnag (gisteraand) en die aandnuus verwag.

Wat nie verander nie is die 12 °C wat by tye oor die naweek verwag word. En nog heelwat reën volgende week.

Briewe Letters

26 June, 2014

Councillors’ pay still under scrutiny I refer to the Budget Office’s response to my asking for justification for a 12%+ increase for Councillors and must admit that this is the lamest excuse, for trying to avoid the issue, I have seen in years.

Allow me to quote the numbers taken from the 2013/2014 and this year’s budget reports.

Bear in mind that a budget runs over 12 months and it seems that there is a tendency to make interim adjustments to the annual budget during the financial year, which gets lost in “translation” or interpretation.

Budget ReSour- port ce 2013/ 2014 (Page 71) Approved budget for year 2012/ 2013 R000) Basic Sala- R6,710 ries Cell phone R361 allowance Total

Budget Report 2014/ 2015 (Page 72) Approved budget for year 2013/ 2014 (R000)

5,26% R545

R7,071 R7,577 7,16% R8,516

44,21 % 12,39 %

The practice of interim adjustments to the budget leads to excessive increases in year on year costs that are conveniently not taken into account when compiling the new budget. Unfortunately the adjusted budget becomes the new base, which does not reflect reality of the cost increase. The following information was taken from page 15 of this year’s budget report.

Full year forecast Audi- for ted 2013/ Out2014 come (infor clude year inte2012/ rim 2013 (R000) adjustments ) (R000)

Salary plus R7,084 R7,978 12,6 cell % phone allowance

% increase year-onyear

R8,516 6,74%

It is clear that the audited outcome for 2012/2013 did include cell phone allowances and that the argument of non inclusion is therefore irrelevant and could be construed

as an effort to mislead the readers.

I re-iterate, irrespective how you interpret the numbers, there is an increase in Councillors’ costs (Salaries and Cell Phone Allowances) amounting to 12%+ plus, be that for the current year or the next year. How is this justifiable?

PETRUS HENDRIKSZ HERMANUS

Budget office answers: The writer continues to ignore the purpose of Table SA22 and the explanation regarding the classification of costs, referring to it as irrelevant and therefore will never come to the correct conclusion regarding salary increases. Further explanations seem futile and therefore this matter will remain at an impasse.

For this reason, the published Government Gazettes that regulate the determination of upper limits of salaries, allowances and benefits of different members of municipal councils, that are applied annually for the payment of salaries, allowances and benefits to councillors, are hereby included for the writer to calculate the year-on-year increases.

The following gazettes are included: • Government Gazette 37281 of 29 January 2014, applicable from 1 July 2013 • Government Gazette 35962 of 7 December 2012, applicable from 1 July 2012 • Government Gazette 34869 of 14 December 2011, applicable from 1 July 2011 • Government Gazette 33867 of 10 December 2010, applicable from 1 July 2010 It should be noted that Overstrand municipality is classified as a Grade 3 municipality for the application of the tables in the gazettes.

Cruel carnage of baboons unnecessary In response to your front page article, Baboons Killed, 19 June, it would appear that the 21st Century in which we live, is the age of increasing terrorism.

To kill or maim any living creature without the courage to confront and disclose your identity and purpose for your action is to devalue your integrity to that of the level of a basest criminal. Everything and anything appears to be permissible in modern society on the precept that the action taken is “my human right” and thereby justified.

We should also remember that the baboons inhabited this area long before humans.

The authorities recent claim that they are unable to afford the monitors shows a total disregard for the natural heritage of our remaining wild life. We have been asked by tourists on several occasions whether there are organised walks in the Fernkloof Reserve not only to see the indigenous flora but particularly also to spot the baboons and other animals.

These monitors could be sustained financially by using their skills and knowledge in conducting tours such as this.

There has to be a way around this present situation so as to prevent the unnecessary and cruel carnage of innocent creatures.

13 Parents learn how to raise healthy, happy children HermanusTimes

Algemeen General

More than 100 parents with children in one of the seven schools in the Greater Hermanus area that participated in the parental skills programme, have successfully completed a ten week training course.

They were presented with certificates at a special Heart-to-Heart Parenting awards function held at the Overstrand Auditorium on Thursday 19 June.

Wendy Colyn from Sustainable Futures Trust, heard about the General Motors South Africa Foundation, which initiated a Parental Skills Programme, with the focus on Positive Parenting, in 2009 already.

Up until last year the programme was mainly presented in the Eastern Cape.

Colyn made it possible for the programme to be presented to a group of parents from Hermanus Waldorf School, and when Friends of the Schools became aware of the impact it had, they decided to become involved with the view to rolling it out to more parents in the community.

General Motors South Africa Foundation agreed to work with The Sustainable Futures Trust and The Friends of the Schools by sponsoring the training of 15 facilitators in Hermanus.

The South African Schools Act urges parents to play an active role in the edu-

26 June, 2014

cation of their children, and with this in mind, the organisations involved in bringing the parental skills course to Hermanus sought the support of the principals of the seven schools they targeted.

The Friends of the Schools and the facilitators believe that the programme should be presented twice a year in order to reach as many parents as possible.

Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie congratulated the parents on their achievement and said: “Your efforts are to the benefit of the whole community.”

The cost of a 10-week course to the seven schools in Greater Hermanus amounted to about R35 000, and was made possible through private sponsorship. ) The Friends of the Schools is a voluntary grouping of Greater Hermanus residents interested in the improvement of education in local schools.

Friends of the Schools aim to offer support to schools, school governing bodies and parent associations in Greater Hermanus in an attempt to improve and broaden the learning environment of pupils.

To find out more about the organisation, call Pieter de Jager on 083 737 5412 or Ben Solomon on 083 257 8378.

Course facilitators Dr Ria du Toit and Frans Bruwer presented the group of parents from Hermanus Primary School, who completed the parenting course, with their certificates.

Parenting course facilitators Carin Stemmet and Hannie Koch presented certificates to the Hawston Primary School participants at the awards evening on 19 June.

Course facilitator Suzanne McDonald, assisted by her husband Christo, handed out certificates to par­ ents from Hawston Secondary School.

Lukhanho Primary had a morning group for the parenting skills course and the facilitators were Mandisa Mamane, Sicelo Gxamesi and Zola Msebezo. The facilitators for the evening course were Luba­ balo Gecwa and Danie Moolman. Between them they presented cer­ tificates to their students.

The evening group from Mount Pleasant Primary was facili­ tated by Ina Davies and Danie Moolman, and they ensured that each student received a certificate last Thursday evening.

Certificates were handed to the Mount Pleasant Primary School’s morning group by their facilitators, Frans Bruwer and Ina Davies.

Qhayiya Secondary School’s parents who attended the course were presented with their certificates by their facilita­ tors, Mabel Saul and Sheila Hempe.

Mabel Saul and Sheila Hempe also facilitated at Zwelihle Pri­ mary School and presented certificates to the parents who completed the three month course.

Sandra vertel hul mans sê elke dag was dit net studieboeke “maar nou is die boeke verby en is dit net hekel, hekel, hekel”.

André leer vroue hekel CILENE BEKKER Dit was uit pure verveeldheid van lê en herstel in die hospitaal ná ’n operasie dat Kidbrooke-inwoner André Kruger geleer hekel het.

Dié vaardigheid dra André nou oor aan verpleegsorg-personeel by Kidbrooke se sorgsentrum. “Die idee om ’n hekelgroepie te begin het gekom van Christa Marais, een van die sentrum se bestuurspanlede. Sy het die kombers op my pa Mike – hy is nou 92 – se bed gesien en kom toe te hore dis mý handewerk,” vertel André (64).

“Die onderwyser in my kom nou weer uit.

Dis ’n plesier om ’n vaardigheid aan iemand te leer, en die sosiale samekoms tussen die groepie is heerlik om te sien. Ek sê mos altyd daar is niks soos besige hande om mense bymekaar te hou nie.”

Die groep kom een keer ’n week bymekaar soos wat hul versorgingstake dit toelaat. Al-

mal is beginners met die hekelnaald en hier en daar is daar nog ’n (linkerhand) wysvinger wat kiertsreguit is, soos die breigewoonte deurslaan.

Dit is reeds agt jaar sedert André se operasie en sedertdien het hy ’n magdom bedsokkies, serpe, hoedjies, onderbaadjies en komberse gehekel. “Ook ’n tafeldoek met fyner gare wat my ses maande geneem het,” onthou André.

Hy onthou ook een van sy kombersprojekte “’n kombers vir myself van 2 m lank, maar net die helfte van die wydte van ’n gewone kombers. Mamma langs my het nie die koue soos ek gevoel nie, so dit was net op mý helfte van die bed.”

“Dis vreemd die gehekelry. Ek was ’n goeie breier, maar in die hospitaal wou my hande net nie lekker saamwerk nie, maar om te hekel was nie ’n probleem nie.” ’n Vriendin en een van die verpleegsters het destyds vir André hekelwys gemaak, en “nou is dit my beurt om ander te leer”.

COMPASSION: So often people say they are too old to make a difference!

But an 86­year old resident of Golden Harvest, has not let that stop her. She has so much compassion and therefore knits little sets of clothing (vest, bootees, matineé jacket and bonnet) for under privileged new­born babies. She donated several of these sets to Mayor Nicolette Botha­Guthrie with the request that they be handed to Aids babies at the Her­ manus Provincial Hospital. The Mayor, in turn, handed the parcel to Dr Stephanie Perold (right) at the Provincial Hospital.

THE FRAMERY: (regs) Marlene Oberholzer se belangstelling in kuns en raamwerk het jare gelede in Vishoek begin toe ’n vrien­ din ’n kunsskool geopen het. Soos wat al hoe meer kunswerke die lig gesien het, het Marlene die kans aangegryp om meer oor raamwerk te leer. Sy het dié belangstelling een stap verder geneem en The Framery aan huis begin in Onrus. “Ons doen alle raamwerk en stretch canvas, block mounts en enige soort boksrame,” sê Marlene.

Biolink leer persone vaardighede aan om beter te konsentreer en fokus. Biolink gebruik unieke tegnologie wat die brein leer om permanent vir langer te konsentreer deur interaktiewe oefeninge wat geheue, aandagspan, sosiale vaardighede en gedrag verbeter. 'n psigometriese toets word gebruik om vordering deurgaans te monitor. Wetenskaplike navorsing het bewys dat die brein aanpasbaar is en nuwe vaardighede en gedrag lewenslank kan aanleer. Dit word neuroplastisiteit genoem. Enige persoon kan voordeel trek uit Biolink, ongeag hul ouderdom, beroep of opvoedkundige agtergrond. Selfs persone met ADHD kan geleidelik vaardighede verkry om suksesvol te wees in die klaskamer, by die werk en selfs by die huis.

Die Hermanus Biolink sentrum bedien die Overstrand gebied en toetse en terapie word in Hermanus, Kleinmond, Gansbaai en Caledon gedoen. Vir meer inligting, kontak Louisa Beyer.

What is brachytherapy (internal radiotherapy)?

Your specialist may suggest that you have internal radiotherapy to treat prostate cancer, if contained within the prostate gland. This is called localised prostate cancer. This focused internal radiotherapy treatment is called brachytherapy. Your specialist may recommend this treatment if you have low to intermediate risk disease.

Brachytherapy can be offered as an alternative to External Beam Radiation Therapy or Radical Prostatectomy (surgical removal of the prostate). Always consult with

Doctors training in Hermanus

your specialist on the various treatment options.

Management and staff of Mediclinic Hermanus would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dr Jacques Basson in successfully completing our first Brachytherapy procedure.

Die Care Club van die Hermanus Provinsiale Hospitaal hou ’n olifant-tafel op 18 Julie en benodig enige items wat dalk rondlê tuis, wat hulle tydens dié dag kan verkoop.

Die geldinsameling word gehou om geld in te samel vir die aankoop van televisies vir die hospitaal om opvoedkundige videos vir pasiënte te wys.

Helping ageing family and friends cope with hearing loss As hearing systems age it can become increasingly difficult to hear in background noise, localise sound sources, ‘keep-up’ with conversation and to tolerate loud sounds.

Felicity Maclennan-Smith, a local audiologist, says family and friends can make communication easier by: • Ensuring that you are in the same room before speaking • Getting the person’s attention before speaking by touch or by calling their name • Making eye contact so as to ensure that you are seen – lip reading

is instinctive to all of us • Speaking normally but at a slightly slower rate – do not over articulate or shout • Turning competing noise such as TVs and radios down or moving away from dishwashers, vacuum cleaners etc.

• Re-wording your sentence if the person does not understand – do not just repeat – some words are easier to hear than others These considerations will be welcomed by both people who wear hearing aids and those who have not yet taken the plunge to switch to hearing aids.

Wat elke man behoort te weet

SINGING FOR SOFCA: The Life Changing Worshippers from Zwe­ lihle presented music items at Sofca on Sunday 15 June in commem­ oration of 16 June, and then helped the kitchen staff wash dishes.

Manager of the group, Zingani Tshefu, says this was their way of giving back to the community. Enjoying the occasion were (front from left) Lorna Eglin, Bettie Allcock, Katliena Salie (carer) and Lilli Work. Standing from left: Wendy Kom, Madolo Nwabisa, Zingani Tshefu (manager of the Life Changing Worshippers music group), Zi­ masa Bomali and Thembela Lodwana.

Die Kankervereniging van Suid-Afrika (Kansa) het hul mansgesondheidsveldtog van stapel gestuur om ’n groter bewustheid van prostaat- en testikulêre kanker onder mans te skep.

Prostaatkanker is die algemeenste kanker onder Suid-Afrikaanse mans.

Vanaf ouderdom 40 behoort elke man jaarliks vir ’n prostaat-spesifieke antigeen (PSA)toets te gaan. Mans met hoë PSA-vlakke word aangeraai om ’n biopsie te laat doen (’n weefselmonster word van die prostaatklier geneem) om vas te stel of daar kankeragtige selle is. Die prostaatklier is ’n klein orgaan wat semen vervaardig wat die spermselle voed en dra.

Gedurende Junie en Julie bied Kansa in samewerking met Pathcare PSA bloedtoetse teen ’n spesiale tarief van R90 aan. In die Overstrand/Overberg-distrik word die toetse by die volgende mediese praktisyns gedoen: Hermanus – Pathcare (Mediese Sentrum), Villiersdorp – Mediese Sentrum, Caledon – dr.

Mostert, dr. Schoombee & Vennote, Napier – dr. Truter, Bredasdorp – dr. Bosch & Vennote, dr. Retief; Kleinmond – dr. Du Plessis & Vennote; Gansbaai – dr. M. Barnard & Vennote.

Vir navrae oor PSA toetse kontak die Kansa kantoor in Onrus op 028 316 3678.

Diet tips for office workers Five a day Try to eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day to prevent a variety of degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, different types of cancers, and obesity.

Select one dark green or dark yellow fruit or vegetable every day (yellow peaches, apricots, paw paw, sweet melon, mangoes, carrots, pumpkin, broccoli, spinach, or sweet potatoes) to supply you with beta-carotene.

Eat fish three or more times a week Fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which protect us against a variety of diseases and ensure a healthy brain and nervous system.

Make wholewheat sandwiches or salads with tuna, mackerel, or salmon for lunch.

Vitamin and mineral supplements If you are eating a balanced diet, you probably don’t need supplements. But if you suffer from tiredness, depression or irritability, if you are recovering from an illness and have returned to work too soon, or burn the candle at both ends, then it may be a good idea to take a vitamin and mineral supplement.

Use complete supplements that contain all the known vitamins and minerals, because

DR. RIDDELL IS INTRODUCING

many nutrients work better when taken in combination (e.g. B-vitamins are more effective when you have an adequate supply of all the vitamins in the B-complex).

But don’t overdose on supplements. Just because one tablet is good for you, does not mean that you should be taking two or three a day.

Go easy at staff parties Staff parties are usually fatal for anyone who is trying to diet. Stick to smaller portions and dilute your drinks with soda water or sugar-free cold drinks and have two glasses of water for every alcoholic drink you sip.

Counteract constipation Individuals who sit in front of a PC all day and eat low-fibre foods can easily develop chronic constipation. Don’t resort to harsh laxatives (including herbal products), as they will destroy your natural bowel movements and lead to laxative dependence.

Eat plenty of high-fibre foods (wholewheat bread, and crackers, high-fibre cereals, fruit, vegetables, and legumes), drink four glasses of water and get active to stimulate peristalsis.

Dwelmmisbruik kom onder die loep ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN As deel van die Internasionale Dag teen Dwelmmisbruik en Mensehandel het die departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling ’n program aangebied vir die gr. 7-leerders van Hawston Primêr.

Die geleentheid is Saterdag by die Thusong-saal in Hawston gehou.

Cindy Appel en Denvar Jantjies, maatskaplike werkers van die departement, het die program aangebied met die hulp van die plaaslike polisie.

Deur die loop van die dag het ’n dramagroepie opgetree om die gevare van

dwelmmisbruik uit te lig. Die polisie het ’n praatjie gelewer en ’n groep van Stanford het die kinders vermaak met sang en drama. ’n Gr. 9-leerder het getuienis gelewer om die kinders te motiveer om weg te bly van dwelmgebruik. Howard Matinka het ook sy pad met die kinders gedeel as deel van die vroeë ingrypingsprogram.

Volgens Appel het hulle dié gebied gekies aangesien daar nie ’n wye verskeidenheid aktiwiteite vir jong mense in Hawston is nie.

“Dit lei tot dwelmmisbruik en bendegeweld in die gebied. Ons wil sulke probleme aanspreek voor dit begin kop uitsteek.”

HAWSTON-LEERDERS WYS HUL DEERNIS: ’n Groep van 25 graad 3­leerders van Hawston Primêre Skool, onder die vaandel van Soul City se Soul Buddyz Club­ini­ siatief, het verlede week hul eerste gemeenskapsprojek aangepak. Die groep maatjies, wat daarna streef om goed te doen in hul gemeenskap, het geld ingesamel om vir tannie Eleanor Kennedy, wat onlangs in die Hawston­hospies opgeneem is, te bederf.

Saam met die onderwy­ sers kon hulle nie net vir tannie Eleanor nie, maar ook die ander vroue in die hospies bederf met blomme, vrugte en ander klein geskenkies.

Genevah Pietersen oor­ handig ’n omgee­pakkie aan tannie Eleanor Ken­ nedy, wat vir jare lank kos gemaak het vir die leerders by Hawston Pri­ mêre Skool.

Die gr. 7­leerders van Hawston Primêr is gedurende ’n inligtingsdag teen die gevare van dwelmmisbruik gewaarsku. Saam met die leerders is Howard Matinka (links) en Cindy Appel en Denvar Jantjies (heel regs).

SKENKING HELP LEERDERS: Ayrton Martinen­ go is ‘n gr. 10­leerder van Hoërskool Hermanus.

Hy demonstreer die meganisme wat hy en sy pa, Gareth, help ontwerp en gebou het. Die meganis­ me demonstreer hidrolika asook die werking van ratte. Hierdie apparaat het hulle aan die skool ge­ skenk sodat die tegnologie­leerders die beginsels van hidrolika en ratte beter kan verstaan.

SCIENCE FUNDI: Chelene Ganz, a matric pupil from Her­ manus High, has achieved a place among the top 100 in this year’s Na­ tional Science Olympiad. This is organised annually by SAASTA (South African Agency for Science and Tech­ nology Advancement) and draws more than 20 000 entrants from all over SA. She will be attending National Sci­ ence Focus Week in Pretoria from 7 to 11 July 2014. In 2004 another Her­ manus High School pupil, Elsabe Smit, came second, and has since qualified as a medical doctor.

FUNKY: THE C4 PICASSO OFFERS VALUE AND VERSATILITY

Citroën C4 Picasso is a trendsetter MOTORPRESS Citroën is confident its new C4 Picasso multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or people-mover will be another global trendsetter, thereby following in the tracks of the original Xsara Picasso, which was launched to much acclaim in 1999. Initial response to the latest model from the motoring press and buyers in Europe, where it was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, has been very positive and enthusiastic.

Two derivatives of the C4 Picasso have joined the rapidly growing range of Citroën vehicles on sale in South Africa – the Seduction and Intensive – both powered by a 1.6-litre e-HDi 115 turbo diesel engine developing 85 kW of power and 270 Nm of torque. Power goes to the front wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

These smooth-running engines offer sparkling performance with a top speed of 189 km/h and 11,8 seconds for the 0-100km sprint, while fuel economy is very impressive too, with a consumption of 4F/100 km for the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of only 105 g/ km.

Pricing of this trending five-seater MPV is very keen, with the Seduction model launching from R325 900 and the even more comprehensively equipped Intensive version from R345 900.

“This new platform is significantly lighter than the previous version and provides the opportunity to lower the engine, thereby the centre of gravity too, making the car more stable while also providing extra interior space,” added Bowring.

“The design team in France has coined the term ‘Technospace’ for

the overall design philosophy behind the spacious new Citroen C4 Picasso as it combines the latest ideas from Citroën’s Créative Technologie division with the design possibilities arising from the use of a new, lightweight platform, which uses aluminium and high tensile steel to reduce weight and gain in torsional rigidity.

Travelling becomes a relaxing experience in the new C4 Picasso with the exclusive Lounge Pack comprising front seats with a massage and seat warming function, while the front passenger can also stretch his or her legs using the extending seat squab. All the seats are fitted with Relax headrests to provide optimum neck support. It is like travelling Business Class!

Although comfort is always top of the list with the Citroën design and development team, they do not stint in terms of driving enjoyment, which means outstanding handling and roadholding.

Of course, being a Citroën means the latest C4 Picasso should also be innovative with unusual features, which is the case.

The exterior styling is pacesetting, with bold, modern lines tending towards a futuristic look with a shorter front overhang and wider track giving it an aggressive, roadhugging stance.

The attractive front end features a new look for the trademark Citroën chevrons, while slim, LED daytime running lights extend the line of the grille, sitting just above the very slender headlights. Fog lamps add the finishing touch to this very original Citroën signature in lights.

The 3D styling effect for the LED lights at the rear was inspired by the rear light treatment of the recent Tubik, Survolt and Revolte concept cars, displayed at recent motor shows and employed on the Citroën

The Citroën designers and stylists have also been given the opportunity to showcase their ability with an innovative interior for the new C4 Picasso.

DS3 last year.

The attractive styling of the latest C4 Picasso can be shown off to good effect with a choice of five colours: Polar White, Aluminium Grey, Ruby red, Teles Blue and Shark Grey.

Uniquely-styled alloy wheels are highlights of the exterior styling.

The Seduction shows off 16” Viper wheels and the Intensive sports 17” Anaconda rims, both with Michelin tyres.

The 7” touch screen with its seven touch-sensitive buttons controls all in-car functions including satellite navigation, dual-zone climate control, and an audio system with six speakers, USB connectivity, Bluetooth with media streaming and an additional USB socket all within a finger’s reach. The 12” panoramic HD screen displays essential driving information. Drivers can even display a personal photo as a screen backdrop using a USB key.

There are front park assist sen-

sors on both models while the Intensive model also has front park assist sensors and the Park Assist system for easy parallel parking.

Storage spaces abound, including two beneath the floor of the second row of seats.

Seating consists of five individual seats, with the three seats in the second row offering the convenience of occupants being able to adjust the rake of the backrest.

There are a host of convenience items including programmable cruise control and speed limiter, an electronic handbrake with hill start assist, automatic on-off for the headlamps and windscreen wipers, sliding driver’s and passenger’s sun blinds with sun visors and courtesy mirrors, “find my car” feature with illumination by means of the interior lights and flashing hazard warning lights and a “guide me home” headlamp function.

Additional equipment on the In-

tensive variant includes LED front indicators, kerb lighting (puddle lights in the exterior rear view mirrors), removable and rechargeable boot light/torch, interior mood lighting, integrated, retractable rear side window blinds, rear seat conversation mirror and front fog lamps with a cornering function.

Luggage space is very generous with 537 litres capacity below the parcel shelf, which can be enlarged to a very spacious 1851 litres when the rear seat backrests are folded forward. In addition, the powered tailgate can be opened remotely by the press of a button.

As one would expect from Citroën there is a vast array of standard safety and security equipment, including ABS brakes with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), emergency braking assistance (EBA), electronic stability control (ESC) with intelligent traction control; automatic activation of the hazard warning lights in case of rapid deceleration or impact, six air bags and a deflated tyre indicator.

The Citroën C4 Picasso comes with a 3-year/100 000 km warranty, 5-year/100 000 km service plan, 3year 24-hour roadside assistance, with the extra cost option of extending the warranty to 5 years/ 100 000km.

Then there is the option of purchasing Citroën Freedrive, which consists of a 5 year/100 00 km warranty and a 5 year/100 000 km maintenance plan.

“We are very proud of this latest addition to the Citroën model lineup in South Africa, as it is class-leading in many aspects of its specification besides being exceptionally stylish too.

We are confident it will be yet another trendsetter from the chevron brand,” concluded PCSA Managing Director, Francis Harnie.

Mercedes-Benz South Africa Silver in Europe-Africa QUICKPIC The much anticipated J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) has placed the MBSA plant in East London amongst the top motor manufacturers in 2014, according to their poll of American consumers after 90 days of ownership of new models in this market.

The MBSA plant has received a silver commendation in the Europe-Africa manufacturing region from this esteemed organisation, whose IQS quality rating is upheld by many in the international automotive industry as a benchmark for quality and reliability.

As the only African plant on the list of awardees, this is the sixth consecutive award for Daimler AG’s South African plant. The company’s J.D. Power award collection now boasts two gold awards (2009 and 2011) and three silver awards (2012, 2013 and 2014) in the Europe-Africa region, as well as the ultimate accolade – a platinum award in 2010, as the highest ranking plant in the world supplying the US market.

MBSA CEO and vice-president of manufacturing, Arno van der Merwe, attributes the consistency of the manufacturing plant’s performance to a focus on efficiency improvement and stringent quality systems within the produc-

tion process. “While technology and process excellence is of vital importance, equally essential is the mind-set and passion of our employees,” van der Merwe says.

The East London plant produced the W204 C-Class for both the local and US markets, and registered only 27 problems per 100 vehicles (27PP100) surveyed by J.D. Power in 2014. The gold award recipient in the Europe-Africa category performed only one point better, at 26PP100 vehicles. “This clearly shows the necessity to run a tight ship at our plant in terms of reliability, efficiency and quality,” van der Merwe adds.

The W204 C-Class model has been replaced by the latest model variant from Daimler AG, and started production at the East London plant in May 2014. “The fact that we have maintained the quality of our production in a runout year, while simultaneously preparing both facility and employees for a new and more advanced model, proves the level of focus of our employees,” van der Merwe concludes. “We are extremely proud of this award and its implication for our status as a first-class manufacturer.” As one of only four Daimler AG plants world-wide selected to produce the luxury new C-Class, MBSA has invested in excess of R5 billion into the South African economy between

The top­selling, dynamic W204 C­Class was manufactured by highly skilled employees at the award­winning Mercedes Benz South Af­ rica production plant in East London.

2011 and 2015. Close to R60 million has been channelled into training initiatives, with more than 1 200 training interventions and assignments to various international plants. In addition, nearly 900 unemployed people from the Border Kei region have been upskilled as part of the new C-Class training programme.

RINGBAL: Hawston Primêr het verlede jaar ringbal (gebaseer op korfbal) teruggebring en hul geesdriftige span geniet die sport terdeë. Hulle het die afgelope naweek meege­ ding teen die Hermanus Christian Academy.

SOKKER: Hawston Primêr se meisie­sokkerspan het op Jeugdag meegeding in ’n toer­ nooi te Gansbaai. Daar het hulle gelykop gespeel teen Laerskool Die Bron van Stanford.

Hier is die span saam met hul afrigters Henry Kroukamp en Janice Arendse. Chrisshaan Lutz is hul kaptein en Leandre Arendse hul onderkaptein.

HAWS in need of full roof covers JANINE VAN DER RIET The Hermanus Animal Welfare Society (HAWS) is in need of 30 roof sheets to fully enclose their large dog kennels. They are asking for 30 people to each donate or sponsor one transparent poly carb 3 m x 53 cm sheet at a cost of R215 each.

The donated tin roof sheets last year were used to put up a roof in the outdoor run so the dogs could run for shelter when it rains. But in their overnight kennels, the roof only covers their sleeping area and the front is open to the rain so the dogs get wet when they come to the front end of their cage. The sheets

Golf roundup

need to be transparent so the sun shines through them and lightweight for the kennel walls to support them and should not be made of asbestos.

Judy Miller, volunteer at HAWS says they have started a pledge and so far they have six sponsored roof sheets.

If you would like to join the roof sheet pledge, call 028 312 1281 for info or to make a donation.

If you would like to make a donation, deposit an amount to Hermanus Animal Welfare Society, account number 0822 633 10, Standard Bank current account, code 050312. Reference “ROOF”.

REGAL RIDGEBACK SEEKS NEW HOME: Aragaon, a tall ridgeback (without the ridge) spent most of his life in Dar Es Salaam and is used to be­ ing indoors and getting up onto the sofa.

The bergwind of Tuesday was true to form and ushered in some colder weather on Wednesday. About 40 guys braved the ominous clouds and took the plunge, and as it turned out discretion was definitely the better part of valour when at about 14:00 the heavens opened and 40 dry golfers turned into 40 very wet golfers.

In a dramatic turn of events three players did manage to complete the day’s golf and therefore, by default, take the prizes. Congratulations to our hardy boys, Gert Keuler, Christo Nel and David Schutte.

David took the B division honours, Christo second, and overall the monthly medal

went to Christo Nel on a gross 88. For shear tenacity, well played!

Saturday was again one of those crystal-clear days between the cold fronts. I had the privilege of playing and must say that the course is playing wonderfully especially for this time of year.

Taking money off Danie van der Spuy and the boys is always fun. Our competition was a betterball stableford and taking the honours this week on the north course was André Gouws and Johan Stander on 45 points, winning on the south course on a terrific 47 points was Herman Kühn and Adré Smit. The ball pool paid to 43 and there were 4 two clubs.

Regarding the league teams, our Kruger side took a hit at Kleinmond 2.5 to 5.5.

Well played Kleinmond. Our Brodie side, however, lead by our capable vice captain Stephen van Der Merwe, crushed Bredasdorp here at home, 8-0.

Have a great week, keep calm and go golfing.

Sport on TV roundup What a sporting weekend awaits us!

At 17:00 on Saturday our Springboks play against Scotland in Port Elizabeth. Super Rugby starts again in Australia and New Zealand with six games being played on Friday and Saturday mornings.

Grass-court tennis is back and Wimbledon is shown on two channels, Supersport 2 and 7.

Golf and the BMW International from Munich, which was won last year by Ernie Els, can be enjoyed, with eight South Africans participating in the tournament.

The World Cup in Brazil will have reached the knock-out stages, starting on Saturday evening – “upsets galore.”

Brazil has a population of over 200 million. There are 8 television directors at the World Cup; French, English and German.

Each chooses their own team of operators and 3 000 staff are involved in the end products. It is estimated that a cumulative total of some 26 billion people will watch the soccer.

Holland have beaten Chile.

Hup Hup Holland!

Youth sports challenge a success Sport, fun and games were on the agenda at the Overstrand Municipality’s Youth Month celebrations held in the Mount Pleasant Moffat Hall recently.

The activities included netball, 5-a-side soccer and indoor mini cricket as well as chess, dominoes, mrabaraba and kerem.

Teams from Gansbaai, Stanford, Mount Pleasant, Zwelihle, Hawston and Kleinmond participated in the event, which was aimed at those aged 15 and younger.

Despite the cold and wet weather, Cllr Lianda Beyers-Cronjé extended a warm welcome to all the participants.

In the indoor cricket segment, Kleinmond u.12 boys went all out and snatched the tightly contested final against Gansbaai by a nailbiting one run.

In the netball tournament, the Kleinmond girls retained their trophy after beating Hawston 20-17.

In the soccer tournament it was a walk in the park as the Zwelihle boys beat Stanford 10-5 and retained their title.

DOGS compete in Kleinmond The Dogs competed in a Fourball Alliance competition at Kleinmond Golf Club on 24 June.

Results: 87 Art Ray (guest), Ian Newman, John Tunstall, Koos Roelofse (guest); 86 Andre Franken, Sam Seal, Vic Van der Westhuizen, Gary Wentzel; 85 Richard Ridge, Michel Maury, Hugh Frangs, George Sauerman (guest); 83 Jon Forsyth, David Rade, Alan Smith, Peter Sulley; 83 Gordon Wilson, Peter Theron, Trevor Vaughan, Doug Ross.

Mt Pleasant councillor Abraham Prins congratulates a participant at the prize giving function after the Overstrand Municipality’s Youth Month sports tournament on 14 June.

Real Attackers lose, draw On Saturday 21 June Real Attackers lost 4-0 against Mighty Blues, who proved too mighty.

The next day however, when Real Attackers played against Eastern Cape United at the Zwelihle Stadium’s field A, they were trailing 1-0 in the first half.

There was an outcry from the crowd for the well-known striker from Zwelihle to be brought on and 5 minutes into the second half, Abongile Jijo Mafevuka proved his worth by striking against their opponents to equalise the score to a respectable 1-1.

Mafevuka did not play on Saturday and the team

was therefore at loss for a striker of substance.

The underfoot conditions were terrible, so much so that all matches were cancelled the previous week.

Last weekend some matches were postponed because of the rain.

The rain itself was not the problem, however but the field was waterlogged to such an extent that it looked like a dam and no ball control was possible.

Even the past weekend, the field was so full of mud on the south side that the opponents had a field day scoring on the sandy, drier side.

Goeie rugby­ naweek vir Atlantic

SIEN DIE WP O.21- EN O.19-SPANNE IN AKSIE:

Atlantic het verlede Saterdag die laaste (eerste ronde) wedstryd teen Grabouw tuis gespeel, en die A- en B-span het as voorlopers die eerste ronde afgesluit.

Atlantic (A) 13 wen Grabouw (A) 10 Die eerste span-wedstryd was taai en is deur die voorspelers oorheers. Die A-span het met hul oorwinning seker gemaak hulle eindig as voorlopers met 27 punte op die punteleer vir die eerste ronde. Die puntemakers was Evan Visser met een doelskop en twee strafskoppe.

Jonathan Swarts het hul drie gedruk. Atlantic sal nou eers weer op 26 Julie speel aangesien die Boland Rugby-unie besig is om die tweede ronde se wedstryde te hersien.

Atlantic (B) 14 wen Grabouw (B) 12 Die B-span het sy wedloop as voorloper met ’n 14-12 oorwinning voortgesit. Die B-span eindig die eerste ronde as voorloper.

Die puntemakers was: Anwar Spandiel en Goodman Mbande, elkeen met ’n drie, en Herschel Vermaak met twee doelskoppe. Goodman Mbane is ook aangewys as die speler van wedstryd.

Atlantic (C) 6 verloor Grabouw (C) 24 Atlantic se C-span het sy toeskouers teleurgesteld gelaat na hulle slegs twee strafskoppe kon aanteken. Hulle verloor 6-24. Die span was lusteloos en het sy swakste wedstryd tot dusver gespeel.

Die puntemakers was Gerwen Elliot met twee strafdoele.

Boland Unie gaan die tweede ronde se speelbeurte hersien, anders sal hulle tot 26 Julie vir die volgende ligawedstryd moet wag.
