ayhem erupted in Zwelihle early on Saturday morning when a group of approximately 300 residents took part in a protest march up Swartdam Road.

Along the way several wooden trading structures and Local Economic Development (LED) business premises were vandalised and looted as angry residents smashed the windows and burglar bars with stones and set the buildings alight.

Traffic flow was disrupted when members of the Hermanus SAPS and Public Order Police blocked off the road in an attempt to control the crowd. Rubber bullets were fired and at least seven people were injured.

The mayor of the Overstrand Municipality (OM) Nicolette Botha-Guthrie was on the scene shortly before 09:00 to talk to the protesters and urge them to stop the vandalism and consider the safety of their own people.

Henrietta Bulani, who runs the Never Lose Hope Project and the Impact Health Africa clinic from one of the offices at the LED building, says her business was vandalised, equipment was destroyed and all the supplies kept in her store room

were stolen by the looters.

Her friend Vuyelwa Ngxatha, who trades from one of the small business venues, had stored the clothing she makes and all her material, accessories and sewing machines in Henrietta’s store at night because these were the only premises that had ADT security.

All Vuyelwa’s stock was stolen, Henrietta’s health products were strewn all over the floor, and she says “they took whatever they could carry and destroyed what they couldn’t steal.”

Henrietta says she offers a nutritional advice and counselling service to the community which she is not paid for and this is how they treated her. “When it comes to safety, only God can protect us in this country,” she says.

They met the mayor on Monday and she apologised for the destructive behaviour of the protestors.

The march was motivated by grievances on the part of the Ziphunzana and Tambo communities in Zwelihle. These informal settlements have no stormwater drainage or electricity supply.

They were apparently on their way to the Overstrand Municipality to hand over a memorandum to the mayor to demand the installation of electricity.

Botha-Guthrie says the municipality was

aware of the residents’ intention to have a protest march.

“It is their democratic right to protest, but only once they have applied for, and been granted permission by the police. Because they chose not to do so, it was an illegal protest and the police could not let them continue on their path.”

The mayor was advised not to visit the scene on Saturday, but even after she became the target of a personal threat by one of the community leaders, she insisted on going.

She spoke to a group of representatives on the corner of Swartdam and Steenbras roads, together with Hermanus SAPS station commander Colonel Nomana Adonis, Traffic Chief Rudi Fraser and Director of Protection Services of the Overstrand Municipality Neville Michaels.

Botha-Guthrie told the residents that she would like to sit around a table with them on Monday to explain the municipality’s position on the issue of electricity supply.

Six of the eight representatives arrived at the meeting on Monday with the mayor and various officials that included the Municipal Manager Coenie Groenewald, the Director of Infrastructure & Planning Stephen Müller, and Colonel Adonis. The municipality’s position was explained as follows: – see page 3.

Anina Eygelaar­Kohler, tweede regs in blou ge­ klee, is onlangs in Jef­ freysbaai opgemerk. Die gesigte van die ander mense in die foto is verdof om hul identiteit te be­ skerm.

Baas van mislukte Fundco in Jeffreysbaai bespeur JANINE VAN DER RIET Die berugte Anina Eyegelaar-Kohler het sedert Maart vanjaar “verdwyn” ná haar mikroleningsbesigheid, Fundco, in Kleinmond in finansiële moeilikheid beland het, en ’n reddingskomitee gestig is om miljoene rande in beleggersgeld te probeer terugeis.

Sy is egter onlangs in Jeffreysbaai opgemerk, waar sy blykbaar nou betrokke is by ’n laerskool en ’n nuwe lewe lei. Haar hare is ook intussen swart gekleur.

Beleggers het begin vanjaar bekommerd geraak toe hulle tevergeefs probeer het om Eygelaar-Kohler te bereik. Volgens beleggers was Eygelaar-Kohler die mikroleningsbesigheid Fundco CC se enigste bestuurslid toe hulle daar belê het.

Ingeligtes met wie Hermanus Times in Maart vanjaar gepraat het, het beweer beleggers het maande geen rente op hul beleggings ontvang nie. ’n Reddingskomitee is hierna op die been gebring om die beslote korporasie

te ondersoek en dit te probeer red van ondergang. Die komitee kon nie die miljoene wat verdwyn het beredder nie en het ontbind.

Duisende beleggers is hul pensioen- en spaargeld kwyt.

Volgens Trudie West, voorsitter van dié komitee, was die totale bedrag ter sprake ongeveer R30 miljoen.

“Van die R30 miljoen is daar niks in die Fundco-rekening oor nie,” beweer sy.

Die meeste beleggers het hul laaste rente in November verlede jaar ontvang. Sommige het wel in Januarie ’n paaiement ontvang.

Na bewering het Eygelaar-Kohler ’n rykmanslewe gelei. Behalwe om restaurante te koop en ander beleggings te maak, het Eygelaar-Kohler verskeie borgskappe aan gholfdae en sportspanne toegestaan.

Volgens kaptein Jakobus Marthinus, stasiebevelvoerder by Kleinmond SAPD, is ’n dossier in Maart teen Kohler geopen; sy kantoor het die dossier verwys na die kantoor van die Openbare Vervolgingsgesag, en wag op instruksies. Die klagte teen haar is nie aan Hermanus Times bekendgemaak nie.

Support Local drive to be launched ‘Support local’ will be one of the projects that the Hermanus Business Chamber will focus on next year, said Mervyn Milner, president of the chamber, in his speech at the networking session at the Bowls Club on 24 October.

“This year our main project was service excellence, but in 2014 the plan is to get businesses to interlink in support of one another.”

Chamber member Talal Salem from Goozi, who is the initiator of the Support Local drive, said: “This town has a lot going for it, but people tend not to buy local. The smaller retailers feel the effect of over-the-mountain shopping, and this, not supporting locals, is, in my language, treason.” He made reference to smaller dorpies around SA which are ‘dying’. “Look at properties, services, roads, in-

frastructure. Without local support for the local economy we will go the same way. Hermanus is a desirable destination, there is nothing bigger or better over the mountain.”

Salem said the Support Local drive, which will be rolled out in the new year, could see participants winning “desirable premium gifts every month”.

At the function members also had the opportunity to promote their business during a two-minute talk, and a variety of lucky draws saw members walking off with sunglasses, restaurant vouchers, a wine rack, leather bag, shoes and beauty products.

The biggest winner of the night though was Agrimark, who won air-time to the value of R3 300 on Whale Coast Radio 96FM, celebrating its fifth anniversary.

OM responds to protest demands From Page 1: . OM does not have any cash hidden away that can be used to provide electricity to the Ziphunzana and Tambo communities at the present time; . OM has to apply for funds from national government to assist the municipality in providing infrastructure, not only to these communities, but to several others that do not have electricity; . The projects are planned for one at a time as the funds become available, and the amount needed for Ziphunzana and Tambo is budgeted for the 2015/2016 financial year.

When asked why these communities were bottom of the list for electricity, the municipal manager said they had only recently established that the land on which the shacks had been built belong to the municipality.

The area is situated behind the Qhayiya High School and it was at first thought the land belonged to the school. They are now, however, in a position to plan for the provision of services.

Another grievance that was raised was the fact that the OM had cut the illegal electrical connections in this area. At the meeting a request was made for temporary electrical boxes in the interim, but it was pointed out by the municipal manager that this would be illegal and that the OM had to adhere to legislation.

“It is also dangerous,” Groenewald said.

“There was an incident where a child was killed in Hawston whilst tampering with

electric wires and there is now a High Court case against us.”

When Hermanus Times spoke to the mayor on Tuesday, she said: “Since the last protest in April I have been in constant communication with representatives of the various communities in Zwelihle. One of the problems is that the faces change at every meeting and I am not always sure if my messages are relayed effectively to the residents. There are also certain individuals who do not live in these areas but use the residents’ grievances to advance their own agenda. For them it is not an issue of service delivery; it is a politically motivated attempt to destabilise local government.”

Masibulele Jimlonga, chairperson of the Overstrand Youth Development Forum, who does not live in Ziphunzana or Tambo but took part in the protest, told the Hermanus Times that the residents were not satisfied with the feedback they received from the municipality. “These communities have been without basic services for many years and they are tired of waiting – 2015/2016 is too far off. They are very frustrated and that is why we decided to have the protest march.

And if nothing is done we’ll have another protest, a much bigger one,” he added.

Lieutenant Fadila September, spokesperson for Hermanus SAPS, confirmed that one person has been arrested for public violence and another for the possession of stolen goods. An attempted murder docket has also been opened. The value of the damage is unknown at this stage.

New junior town council JANINE VAN DER RIET The Overstrand Junior Town Council inauguration was held on Thursday at the municipal auditorium.

With the hall packed with proud parents, headmasters and teachers from the respective schools in the area, Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie awarded the outgoing junior town council with certificates of merit and welcomed the new junior town council for 2013/2014.

Nontuthuzelo Unity Mtomile, who joined the Enlighten Education Trust first as a volunteer last year and then took over from Theo de Wet as manager of the junior town council in January this year, directed the inauguration programme for the evening.

Learners from various schools entertained the audience. They included Layla Arrison who sang a solo and played the guitar, and

Chumisa Mnyanzeli, a grade 12 learner from Qhayiya Secondary School, who recited a beautiful poem.

The outgoing junior mayor, Marlo Jacobs, reported on their term of office. He said they had a wonderful year with more than 50 projects that were undertaken, which included taking part in the Cansa Relay for Life and the annual Wheels and Runners race.

Mayor Botha-Guthrie then greeted the new members with a handshake and hug, in the absence of the ceremonial scarves which were not ready in time for the inauguration.

She commented on this, saying that it was too hot in any case to wear a scarf, which raised a round of giggles from the learners and audience.

The newly elected junior mayor is Sonwabile Calata from Hermanus High and the two deputy mayors are Sheila Swart from Gansbaai Academia and Charnay Vorster from Curro Hermanus. .

Helpende Hand wen tak van die jaar Solidariteit Helpende Hand se Hermanus-tak is by hul afgelope kongres as die Wes-Kaapstreek se Tak van die Jaar aangewys.

Elke streek se Tak van die Jaar het R5 000 ontvang om vir ’n verdienstelike en fokusgedrewe Helpende Hand-projek aan te wend.

“Ons het soveel bestaande projekte waarby ons op die lang termyn betrokke is, dat hierdie geld soos manna uit die hemel kom om vir ons uitgawes voorsiening te maak,” sê Pieter Hurter, die takvoorsitter.

“Ons betaal onder meer ’n bejaarde man van 83 se huurgeld, ondersteun ’n gestremde gesin finansieel en dra by om vir drie kinders voedsame kos te verskaf. Dié prysgeld sal dus goed aangewend kan word.”

Die tak is betrokke by elke skakel van Helpende Hand se waardeketting wat van babas tot bejaardes strek.

Diegene wat ook by die tak betrokke wil raak om ’n verskil in ’n plaaslike gemeenskap te maak, kan gerus vir Pieter Hurter bel by 082 490 9826 of ’n e-pos aan hom stuur by hurterpj@mweb.co.za.

ELVES AT WORK: Wendie Cleary (front right), Overstrand co­ordinator of the Santa Shoebox Project, with all the elves who were hard at work at the Wine Village conference centre on Friday and Saturday. They sorted the hundreds of Christ­ mas gift boxes filled with practical and fun items for needy children that were dropped off during the two days set aside for this purpose. By mid­day on Saturday, 476 boxes of the 487 that had been pledged had been delivered, with nearly 100 extra boxes that would be allocated to children on the project’s waiting list. Wendie said they expected to finish with a total of 650 boxes.

auctioned is a racehorse donated by wellknown horse breeder David Hepburn-Brown from Hemel ’n Aarde Stud, who will continue to carry the cost of the yearling filly’s keep on his farm until it is ready to start training towards the end of 2014. Brett Crawford from Crawford’s Racing in Cape Town has donated his services as the horse’s manager, covering all the training and stabling costs for not less than two years (until September 2016) in exchange for 30% of the horse’s earnings and/or the proceeds if the horse is sold.

“This is a unique opportunity,” says Diddi. “I would like to invite a consortium of ladies to bid on the horse at only R2 000 per share, guaranteeing loads of fun for years to come.

As a bonus the owners will get free access to Crawford Racing’s private box at the Kenilworth track at least a dozen times per year and get to stand in the owners’ ring when the horses are paraded before each race.”

Telephonic and email bids will also be accepted on the evening. Outside bidders should contact the charity auditor, Juan Pieterse at BNP Accounting, before Friday 1 November at juan.p@bnpaccounting.co.za or juan@hermanus.co.za.

Don’t miss out on this special occasion – buy tickets now and have them delivered.

FIRE SAFETY: The pupils from Fynbos Akademie in Stan­ ford were recently treated to a fire­ fighting demonstra­ tion by the Gans­ baai Fire Brigade.

The school regard­ ed it as a worth­ while display as the children have seen first hand the dev­ astation caused by veldfires. Peter Tier­ as, one of the pu­ pils, was given a chance by the visit­ ing fire­fighter to hold the fire­hose.

EDITORIAL COMMENT No power for the people It was only a few months ago that a protest march for service delivery brought a group of Zwelihle residents to our doorstep when they delivered a memorandum to the Mayor at the municipal offices.

In contrast to this orderly march in April, Saturday’s protest was an illegal action and resulted in damage to prop­ erty and endangerment of lives.

The residents of Ziphunzana and Tambo communities in Zwelihle are demanding the basic services they have been living without for many years, especially electricity.

According to the Mayor, the munici­ pality is doing all it can to upgrade in­ formal settlements and provide infra­ structure to all the communities in the Overstrand.

The provision of electricity is on the priority list but funding for Ziphunzana and Tambo will only be available in the 2015/2016 book year.

These residents will need to have patience, something which is currently in short supply. Their frustration is un­ derstandable; however, vandalism and looting is not only against the law but is detrimental to their own commu­ nities. Nothing is solved with violence.

Why whales have chosen our bay Having read your editorial about the regulations regarding whale-watching boats in our bay, I am moved to add my two pence worth in the hope of creating more awareness of the needs of our whales.

They have chosen our bay as it is reasonably free of shipping and noise pollution, and there is fresh water flowing into the sea from our rivers. This, I believe, helps to get rid of the parasites we see on their bodies.

They are most definitely our winter attraction and visitors come from far and wide to see them and so we should protect and care for them if there is any sign of abuse. In my humble opinion the noise of the helicopter that hovered directly over the pair of whales in front of Voëlklip last week was a disgrace.

I assumed that a boat was in distress and walked down to have a look. No distress – it

hovered over the whales for some time and then moved on to hover over another pair of whales.

Surely that is not allowed and I can not be the only witness as there was a group of kayaks not far away.

For any reader interested there are two booksinourlibrarywrittenonwhalestudies.

Listening to the Whales by Alexandra Morton who studied the Orca whales off the coast of Nova Scotia and Thousand Mile Song by David Rothenberg.

Both books give an insight into whale behaviour and how they respond to their environment.Iftheybecomeunhappy,theyleave.

Enkosi Kakhulu – Thank you for attending High five from Volmoed On behalf of our “Volmoed Five” group of artists, I would like to thank you very much for the great article published in the Times last week. We appreciate the fact that a journalist attended the opening and took time to find out about us all and the “Connections” we share.

As artists who work away from the public eye most of the time, we value the opportunity of raising public awareness for our efforts.

Many thanks again.

Blooming good support for Rotary Club The Rotary Club of Hermanus placed a “Thank You” notice in the Hermanus Times two weeks ago.

After a late sale we would also like to add a big thank you to well-known local artist Rouve de Flamingh for her painting Poppies Blooming, and her support to our auction the past three years.

Due to a great effort by all Rotarians the auction was a great success and our charities will benefit greatly.

We would like to make an exception by specifically thanking past Rotarian Ken Maclennan-Smith who did a sterling job by sourcing most of our art and a number of very special wine items.

Roger Bushell Prize to Hermanus High pupil Congratulations to the Hermanus High School young man for being awarded the Roger Bushell Prize.

To those of your readers who do not know, Roger Bushell was a POW in Germany during the 1939 – 1945 war.

I do not know where he was captured but, together with 39 other airmen, escaped the POW camp. They were caught and all 40 of them were shot by Hitler’s Germans in cold blood. This act was strictly against the Geneva Convention which every nation had to abide by. All POWs were unarmed.

Roger Bushell’s name appears on our war memorial in Hermanus. His parents lived in Fernkloof.

On 11 November, Armistice Day, a service is held by the Moths – Memorable Order of Tinhats and the following prayer is always said: They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old, age shall not weary them nor the years condemn at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we shall remember them we shall remember them.

I hope this young man will attend.

(PS! I am no relation to the Hermanus woman of the year.)

Working group gives update on issue of potential by­pass road We are pleased,at last, to have some substance to report on the issue of a potential by-pass road along the foothills of our Klein Rivier Mountains which had been the topic of much discussion in our town.

We can also confirm that the ROB Working Group which was established after the public meeting last November has been active in following these developments. This included regular discussions with the officials in the Overstrand Municipality, the consultants involved in the transportation planning study for the wider Overstrand region and the relevant persons in the provincial authority.

In addition we have communicated with the various organisations which represent public interest activities here and private individuals who have shown an interest in the concept of a potential by-pass road to promote the traffic connectivity into and through Hermanus.

These activities mostly took place without public exposure to take into account the sensitivities involved. Whilst we support participation in appropriate analyses of the factual conditions here, the notion of a highway across the face of our special mountain range and in denial of the legal provisions in place to protect our environment, represents a line we will not cross – as was clear from the senti-

ment expressed at the public meeting referred to above. The active debate on this topic has led to persons coming to unrealistic conclusions and confusion and frustration.

We will not try to analyse this process but rather put together the current state of play based on the information we have.

First of all there is a good deal of public mobilisation in Hermanus and many positive developments are taking place in and around the world we live in in Hermanus. Some of these developments have resulted in changes you can see and the benefits can be enjoyed now.

Others are subject to longer term research and planning processes of which the results will only be apparent in the future. They involve more than roads and infrastructure – they include better care for our botanical assets, cultural facilities, tourism and in general our living circumstances.

Much of what the ROB Working Group had planned to be concerned with depends on progress of the transport planning study commissioned by the province – to evaluate holistically future connectivity and road capacity to eastern nodes in the Overstrand municipal area eg. Stanford, Gansbaai and Pearly Beach.

The first phase of this study is expected to be completed early in 2014. This work will in-

form a Background Information Document that will be presented and be available for public comment. This will be a crucial stage in the process and we hope that much care will be taken to generate well-considered comments which in total will reflect the wishes of the people of Hermanus. We have had discussions with the consultants involved and it is our considered opinion that they are competent and well regarded.

ROB intends accompanying the process positively with our knowledge and insight into the interests involved. It will have extensive contact with the associations representing the interests of civil society. It will also in terms of its mandate maintain the posture of an independent action group with its main focus on the prospect of a bypass road across the face of the Klein Rivier Mountains.

This liaison will include the Hermanus Ratepayers Association which has a wider agenda but we will strengthen our influence by cooperating regularly As regards future activities, it is suggested that these developments be followed closely and that we consider a public meeting early in the new year, possibly after the traffic survey is published.

The reason for the event being held in Cape Town is because it was a media function and it proves difficult to get main stream media from Cape Town to attend an event in Hermanus. There will be opportunities in the coming year to meet Bob Skinstad at other events in the Overstrand. Die keuse van Skinstad het nie gegaan oor taal nie, maar oor sy interna­ sionaal bekendheid as sportster, rugby­kommen­ tator en sakeman, sy passie vir die area en bereid­ willigheid om ons streek te bemark.

Is it Spring yet? No, we passed Spring and it is now almost Summer, but Winter is still with us. Residents can expect heavy rainfall tonight (Thursday) until Friday evening. The wind will be a bother at around 30 kph during the weekend and on Tuesday it will rain again. Keep your rain coats close.

YOU ASKED, READERS RESPONDED: “The insect is a Koppie Foam Grasshop­ per – also known as a Rooibaadjie. They are unfortunately toxic and when they are threatened will secrete a poisonous foam from their thoracic glands.” (WEBSITE RE­ SPONDENT).

Nog ’n leser DRIENIE HOUGH sê: “Sover my kennis strek is dit ’n sprinkaan. Hy kom ook in Noord­Kaap voor, en soos die kleur wys – rooi en swart – is hy giftig (nie dodelik nie). Hulle eet gewoonlik melkbosse, dié soort wat so ’n melkerige afskeiding gee.”

JEANETTA HOEKSTRA bevestig ook dat dié ’n “Foam Grasshopper” is, oftewel Dictyop­ horus spumans. Sy kwoteer uit African Insect Life deur S H Skaife: “Accompanied by a sound rather like that of escaping air, vile­smelling foam issues from behind the head of a foam grasshopper after it has been prodded.”

BRENDA SHEPHERD, who lives in Camphill, says they have lots of these Koppie Foam Grasshoppers hopping around. “We don’t bother them and they don’t bother us.” She consulted Wikipedia which offered this information: ”This species of grasshopper in the family Pyrgomorphidae is indigenous to South Africa. It grows up to a length of 80 millimetres (3.1 in).”

Hier’s ons weer...

Die los en vas, of beter gestel; die gehinkepink van die lugstrome, is tans ’n doring in die vlees vir enige weervoorspeller.

Die rede hiervoor is dat die massa koue lug in die fronte wat uit die Suidpoolsee op Gough-eiland afgestuur word, toenemend deur warm invloede uit die diep weste verinneweer word.

Op die animasieskerm wat die aankomende fronte wys, is dit duidelik dat elke front telkens duskant Gough herstel en sy los wolke, wat soos kuikens met vere oor die kop verstrooi is, weer bymekaar kry om in die rigting van die Suid-Afrikaanse kus voort te beweeg.

Hierdie soort onstabiele bolug, wat deesdae erg afwyk van normale patrone, is tans besig om die noordelike halfrond te teister.

En plaaslik is dit nou ’n feit onder boere dat die weerpatroon vanjaar mank is: bome en wingerde bot laat en deurmekaar en in die omgewing van die Boland wys die aantekeninge dat dit een van die droogste Oktobermaande sedert 1965 was.

Waarvoor ons nou moet asem ophou is dat die vol damme in die Overstrand, groot en vol genoeg is om ons aan die gang te hou indien dit vorentoe nie so goed gaan nie.

Die wel en weë van Overstranders is ’n ander storie waaroor dit onder ons lesers gons.

Die voorspelling was vroeër vandeesweek dat onweer oral sou toeslaan, maar ons sien vandag weer dat die kolkende front wat aan die inrol is eers teen vyfuur vanaand met ’n sterk reënbui op Walkerbaai sal toesak.

Wanneer dit môre-aand ophou sous, sal ’n goeie

18 mm dalk teen daardie tyd geval het.

Alles hang weereens af van wat die rukkende bolug sal doen en of die krapperigheid by die ewenaar ons ook gaan raak.

Een van die faktore wat hierdie gehinkepink veroorsaak, kan die huidige koorsagtige aktiwiteit van die son wees. GPS -gebruikers het die afgelope week kopgekrap en mense wat voor rekenaars gesit het moes gedurig na ander seine oorslaan.

Van die drie-daagse reëns wat verwag is, gaan daar ook maar min kom, as die front aanhou bokspring soos dit nou doen.

Ná vanaand en môre se neerslae reën dit eers weer van aanstaande Dinsdag deur Woensdag toe in die Overstrand.

Die wind sal oor die naweek teen rondom 30 km/h waai; nogal onplesierig vir besoekers, branderryers en walviskykers.

Maar weer eens is die aankomende front ’n faktor en kan dit heelwat stiller wees as die front baie dieper suidoos van Walkerbaai verby sleep. ’n Bietjie koue uit die noordooste, waar dit hael, kan ons lewe verder versuur.

Blend your own wine at the Deli

13

HEDDA MITTNER Many a restaurant patron is familiar with BYOW as the acronym for “bring your own wine”. But at the Original Deli it now also stands for “blend your own wine”.

Deli owner Peter Kunz is excited about their latest offering – the Wine Lab. Here everyone has the opportunity to become a wine expert and learn all about the art of wine blending on Friday and Saturday evenings.

You even get to bottle and cork your own unique wine under your own name to take home.

“The concept was developed by Peter Stuart of Carteirra, who will be hosting the BYOW evenings,” says Kunz. “We have already had an amazing response from friends of the Deli who were invited to a trial experience.”

Complemented by a combination of jazz and blues, this unique food and wine experience starts with three wines from the Walker Bay area – Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc. Guests then blend the three varieties according to their preferences and along the way they learn about the process of enhancing flavours and crafting a blend with a unique profile.

The newly created wines are then enjoyed with a “three flavoured” flame-grilled steak platter straight off the coals. And to top the evening off, guests get to cork their own bottle of wine with a personalised label which they can take home. With the “recipe” for their preferred blend on file, they can also order more bottles to keep in their home cellar or to enjoy on special occasions.

“It’s a great evening out for a group of friends or for couples celebrating a birthday

Alan Knight takes his turn at corking his own bottle of wine. In the background Sue Stuart lends a helping hand. or anniversary,” says Kunz. “Or for tourists who will enjoy creating a local wine under their own personalised label to take home as a reminder of their time in Hermanus.”

The numbers for the BYOW evenings will be limited to nine guests at a time to ensure an intimate hands-on experience, and is suitable for both the serious wine enthusiast and the social wine lover.

ADVERTORIAL

NOT EVERY TRELLIDOR IS A TRELLIS DOOR ®

Trellidor Clear Guard and Trellidor Rollerstyle are unlike any other burglar proofing or security gates you’ve ever seen. In fact, their most attractive feature is that you don’t even know they’re there until you really need them. That’s why we’d love the opportunity to show you these innovative security barriers first-hand.

VISIT OUR SHOWROOM The Trellidor Hermanus showroom is fully equipped with Trellidor Clear Guard security screens in different designs and automated Trellidor Rollerstyle shutters for you to try out. Our knowledgeable staff will show you how they work and explain how we custom make them to fit your doors and windows. We have photographs and videos of these products installed in real homes to give you an idea of what they’d look like in your own home.

OR WE’LL COME TO YOU If you can’t get to our showroom, we’ll come to you.

Our Sales Consultants carry samples of all our product ranges so that they can explain their features. They’ll offer you a free assessment of your home’s current security status and ideas on how to improve it. There is no obligation to follow our advice, just a plan to help you reduce your security risk. We’ll also give you a quote on the doors and windows you’d like us to secure for you.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS It is very easy for the untrained eye to mistake look-alike Trellidor products. That’s why it’s important for you to see them yourself, either at our showroom or a site visit.

We’ll explain what makes Trellidor different, whether it’s our traditional trellis-style Trellidor Retractable Security and Trellidor Fixed Security; Trellidor Cottage Guard burglar proofing; Trellidor Clear Guard security screens; or Trellidor Rollerstyle shutters.

AfriForum hou jaarvergadering In Augustus vanjaar is ’n AfriForumtak in die Overstrand gestig en Marianne Rossouw is as waarnemende voorsitter gekies.

Belanghebbendes kan hul jaarvergadering op 13 November om 18:00 in die munisipale ouditorium in Hermanus bywoon. Pieter Rautenbach, hoof van plaaslike regeringsake, is die hoofspreker. Almal is welkom.

Rossouw sê sy is tans besig om met verskillende rolspelers in verbinding te tree om sodoende areas te bepaal waar AfriForum betrokke kan raak.

“Enige munisipaliteit of polisiestasie kan hoër hoogtes bereik as daar ’n doeltreffende burgerregte-organisasie is. Ons taak is om pro-aktief op te tree om ons bestaande dienste te behou en te verbeter en sodoende ons pragtige omgewing te beskerm.”

Sy het voorts gesê AfriForum se plaaslike takke het ten doel om die gaping tussen die regering en SuidAfrikaners te vul en toe te sien dat belastingbetalers goeie dienste van plaaslike regerings ontvang. “AfriForum se plaaslike takke is daar om gemeenskappe te organiseer en wedersydse erkenning en respek tussen verskillende gemeenskappe en gemeenskapsorganisasies te bevorder.” Vir meer inligting, besoek die webtuiste: www.afriforum.co.za

The Bridgemans are keen cyclists and are currently attempting to cycle around the world. They set off from Nordkapp in Northern Norway on 4 June, heading to Cape Town.

In November, they will cycle from the southern tip of Chile up to Northern Alaska – hence the name of their trip, the North-to-North cycle tour.

They have set out to raise money and awareness through the trip for Shelterbox, a disaster relief programme which provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies around the world for families affected by disaster when they most need these.

Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a specific need, but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an ex-

Useful tax season tips from SARS Tax Season 2013 is open. It’s that time of the year again when you have to complete and submit your Income Tax Return (ITR12).

SARS will help you through Tax Season 2013 with all you need to know so you can file easily and on time.

Who is it for?

• Individuals (provisional and non-provisional taxpayers) • Trusts If you earn under R250 000 for a full year from one employer (that’s your total salary income before tax) and have no other sources of additional income (like interest or rental income) and no deductions that you want to claim for (for example like medical expenses, travel or retirement annuities), then you don’t need to submit a return.

What steps must I take?

• Use the information supplied in your ITR5/IT3(a) (which you will get from your employer) as well as other tax certificates from your medical aid, retirement fund annuities, investment income etc.

• Use only accurate information and the cor-

rect figures which appear on your various supporting documents when you complete your return.

• Don’t claim deductions and expenses which do not exist or are not applicable to the year of assessment for which the return is being submitted.

• And finally, don’t leave anything out. Declare all additional income you earned, like the rent you got from your holiday house or the tips and salary you got from your waitressing job.

Top Tip: You need to keep all your supporting documents for five years in case SARS wants to check them.

When should it be submitted?

It’s very important that you submit your return by the set deadline to avoid any penalties and interest which may be charged for late submission. Take note of the following deadline dates: • Paper/manual via post or dropping it off in a SARS drop box was 27 September 2013.

• Electronically at a SARS branch by 22 November 2013.

Grade 12 visual art pupils from the Hermanus Youth Art Centre ex­ hibited their work at the Hornbill House Gallery on Friday evening.

Art students exhibit year’s work KERRY VAN RENSBURG There were 23 exhibits on show at the Hornbill House Gallery on Friday evening representing the culmination of the practical work done by the Design and Visual Art students who take these subjects at a Grade 12 level.

It was, however, the first time that pupils from Hermanus High School, Northcliff House College and Overberg Academy and Impak home school in Kleinmond were all exhibiting together under the banner of the Hermanus Youth Art Studio.

Vivienne Mitchley took over the running of the Hermanus Youth Art Studio in the middle of the year after the previous art teacher was offered a permanent position elsewhere.

Mitchley says it is essential that the Youth Art Centre be open to all schools in the area so that pupils who want to take visual art or design as a matric subject have the opportunity to do so.

Amelia Neethling works with Mitchley at the Youth Art Studio and takes the Grade 12 design class and also works with the Grade 10 and 11 visual art pupils.

The final exhibition at the Hornbill House Art Gallery included exhibits ranging from designs for chairs, children’s tables, clothes and room dividers, to lamp shades and computer imaged packaging.

While viewing and moderating the exhibits on Friday afternoon before parents and the public arrived for the official evening viewing, Mitchley said: “Visual art is also a dynamic

presentation ranging from the more classical oils to multimedia exhibits. There are daring pieces that will challenge the norms but show the most amazing insight and creativity.”

She said moderation went well and several students have obtained 75% plus.

The theme for the final practical exam pieces was “Time” for visual art and “Motion and Eclectic” mixes. Stuart Dods, visual art student from Hermanus High, got 80% for art and won the Shelley Adams award. He will also be exhibiting pieces for the Roussouw Gallery. ) The Hermanus Youth Art Studio is also involved in the art project at the New Harbour. The harbour wall to be painted stretches from the parking lot near Whale Cruises to the underside of Gecko, next to the diving school. The project is spearheaded by Cape Town architect Eric Robinson, while the paint and equipment are all sponsored

by Bambana Construction.

Mitchley says the original blueprint was designed by Hanri Hamilton. “It was taken over and redesigned by Jeandre Marnier and this design has been transferred onto the wall in pencil.

Painting will hopefully start this week, weather depending,” she explains.

Mitchley is the project manager and says she is being guided by the talented artists.

“All learners from the centre and school will be involved. We are also hoping that artists and learners alike will all volunteer to help make this a truly community orientated project.”

SMALL SUV: ECOSPORT TICKS MOST BOXES

Road test: Ford’s new Ecosport FRANS LE ROUX

N

ew cars in South Africa are arriving at a unfathomable rate and we as fanatics, drivers and buying public are truly spoilt for choice.

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the small SUV market is another cut-throat segment where manufacturers aim to sell high volumes of their respective multipurpose vehicles. I tested the Renault Duster which was a pleasant surprise.

This SUV segment is now a pretty competitive two-horse race with the introduction of the new Ford Ecosport.

With the Ecosport you can choose between three different engines. A naturally aspirated 1,5 F petrol, a turbo charged 1,5 F diesel and their award winning 1,0 F three cylinder petrol turbo engine. If you read any motoring news, you would be aware that the 1,0 F Ecoboost engine has won the coveted international engine of the year twice (2012 & 2013).

The model I tested was the much anticipated 1,0 F Ecoboost Trend, and boy, was I impressed. This tiny 1.0 engine has three cylinders and is truly the way forward in terms of fuel economy and CO² emissions. Power is rated at an unbelievable 92 kW/170 Nm. This is the modern day equivalent of a 1.6 naturally aspirated engine.

I took the bright orange Ecosport all the way to Caledon on the Saturday morning for a work function. Having driven this road many times before, I deliberately took all the gravel roads to test the Ecosport’s handling and 200 mm ground clearance.

It was raining when I drove out of Paarl, with the first obstacle being the Franschhoek Pass. Even in the rain, the one litre engine performed well and I never felt as if I would not reach the top. Being a three cylinder, there is an uncharacteristic engine growl you won’t find in any other car. It is a likeable sound, and kind of rough, but still ready and willing as you approach the red line.

At the top I stopped to further inspect the Ecosport’s interior. If you have recently been

in a Fiesta, everything in here would be familiar. Step inside and your attention is drawn towards the silver inserts on the dashboard and steering wheel. Speaking of the latter, it has radio volume controls and cruise control options (on the Titanium model only). The seats offer little side bolstering but feel pretty rugged and purposeful. Headroom for adults is ample, with rear legroom being better than most hatchbacks (Golf or Auris). A central mounted cd/mp3 player is surrounded with an array of buttons which you can play with for hours. You get the feeling, as with the Fiesta, that everything was installed in a certain place for a good reason. The ergonomics of the interior is very well sorted.

Continuing onwards down a wet and slippery Franschhoek Pass and having reached the first gravel road, I slowly drove towards Caledon. The Draaiberg road is mostly used by farmers to shorten their trip to Villiersdorp or Grabouw. The road was badly rutted, but the 16-inch wheels proved a good balance between sporty looks and comfortable driving. After a short 10 km, I reached the R43 again and powered on towards Caledon.

Fifteen kilometres further, on my left, the longer and trickier Boontjieskraal Road lay ahead. On this stretch of gravel, I was convinced the ground clearance was enough.

However, I carried too much speed and hit a ditch that I initially thought would max out the suspension and scrape the sump guard.

To my surprise, though, the Ecosport managed to get through unscathed.

Having arrived at my destination a little early, I inspected the appearance of the Ecosport once more. It strikes a pretty good balance between a mean-looking SUV with its widened grille and small size and with short overhangs at the front and rear, it sure looks the part. At the back, Ford decided to mount the full size spare-wheel on the bootlid. This, in my opinion, looks pretty hard-core, classic and cool. Makes one fondly think of old 4x4 bakkies. Unfortunately the Ecosport does not have a 4x4 option in its line-up, but let’s face it – how many buyers would actually take it off-road?

The Ecosport is a versatile little car. It comfortably seats five adults and no gravel road is un­ conquerable.

PHOTO: MARK BOW The fuel consumption for the 220 km round trip averaged at 13 km/F. Considering that its not a flat road by any means, this is remarkable for a 1,0 F. On the open road this Ecosport should easily reach 15 km/F. If you opt for the punchy diesel variant, you could see a figure as high as 19 km/F. As previously mentioned, the only two real

contenders in this segment is the Ecosport and Renault’s Duster. If looks are important, the Ecosport takes the medal. If you want a mini 4x4, the Ecosport is not the best. While brand power is extremely important to most, the Ford badge is still sought after. This Ecosport would also have a good second hand value, guaranteed.

24 Hermanus Times Mazda CX­5 now with SISS technology 31 October, 2013

QUICKPIC The Mazda CX-5 continues to surprise and delight South African customers with its next generation technologies that now includes the addition of Mazda’s Smart Idle Stop System (SISS) on all models. The system improves fuel economy by up to 10% in heavy traffic and in urban areas where the driver frequently stops at traffic lights and intersections.

Conventional idling stop systems

restart a vehicle’s engine with an electric motor using exactly the same process as when the engine is started normally. Mazda’s SISS, on the other hand, restarts the engine through combustion.

In addition to saving fuel, the SISS ensures that the engine will restart quickly and with exactly the same timing every time. Mazda’s advanced technology ensures the engine restarts in roughly half the time of other conventional electric motor idling stop systems. Drivers will feel no delay when resuming their drive, which means they can

enjoy a comfortable and stress-free ride.

With the full suite of Skyactiv technologies, the CX-5 2,0 F engine uses as little as 6,8 F of fuel per 100 km in manual guise and 6,9 F per 100 km in automatic configuration.

Skyactiv engines have been designed to make internal combustion as effective as possible. Engineers of the Skyactiv-g petrol engine were aiming for a lightweight design that produced more from less.

Developing 114 kW of power at 6 000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 4 000 rpm it delivers more torque,

better fuel economy and lower emissions.

Mazda offers a brand new cuttingedge six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission on the Dynamic and Individual derivatives, to enhance the CX-5’s athletic character.

An engaging six-speed manual transmission is fitted to the Active model.

Every CX-5 comes with a 3 year Mazda Roadside Assistance plan, a 5 year/90 000 km Service Plan and a 4 years/120 000 km warranty.

Service intervals are every 15 000 km.

Beste jong boer met ’n Hilux beloon QUICKPIC Attie Scholtz, ’n boer van die Noord-Kaap, sal met ’n splinternuwe Toyota Hilux 2.7 VVTi-hoëromp-Raider-bakkie na sy plaas in die Douglas-omgewing terugkeer, nadat hy die gesogte 2013Agri SA/Toyota SA Jong Boer van die Jaar-toekenning gewen het.

Scholtz is ná talle moordende uitdunrondes as die jong boer van die jaar aangewys nadat hy aanvanklik as die Noord-Kaapse streeksfinalis aangewys is. Hy is uit ’n groep van agt streeksfinaliste as wenner aangewys by ’n galageleentheid in Johannesburg.

Johannes Möller, die president van Agri SA, het by die geselligheid gesê vanjaar se finaliste het hul deursettingsvermoë bewys deur die uitdagings wat almal in die veranderende toestande in die landboubedryf in die gesig staar, te bowe te kom.

“Hulle kyk doelgerig na volhoubare langtermyn-groei om te verseker dat al die moontlike oorweeg is.

“Al die finaliste is puik aanspraakmakers en baie goeie boere in eie reg, maar Scholtz is ’n waardige wenner van hierdie gesogte toekenning.”

Forester grabs another award QUICKPIC Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, this week announced that the Subaru Forester has been named Motor Trend’s 2014 Sport/Utility of the Year. The Subaru Forester’s victory follows the previous generation’s win of the 2009 award and the Outback’s win of the 2010 award, making Subaru the first and only automaker to win Motor Trend’s Sport/Utility of the Year award three times.

Motor Trend Editor-in-Chief, Ed Loh, said: “The 2014 Subaru Forester beat a highly competitive field of SUVs because it best met our award’s six key criteria. Practical, affordable, efficient and fun-to-drive – Forester truly ticked every box”.

The US-spec Forester which went on sale in March 2013 was developed with the goal to maximize its value as a true SUV. Featuring Subaru’s distinctive, renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive™ system as its core technology, the fourth generation Forester boasts a higher level of driveability as well as enhanced safety and environmental performance combined with much improved capabilities as an SUV offering fun-to-use versatility and fun-to-travel driving performance.

Subaru Southern Africa Marketing Manager, Ashley Lazarus, comments: “Yet another important accolade for the Subaru Forester further underpins its excellence as an allrounder SUV. The Motor Trend award comes on the back of the Forester being awarded the ‘Best Mom’s Taxi’ category win in the 2013 Women on Wheels Women’s Car of the Year competition in South Africa, the Japanese Good Design Award, its five-star Euro NCAP safety rating – which lead it to be the safest SUV tested by Euro NCAP in 2012 – and the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award for safety excellence.”

As committed by the company’s “Confidence in Motion” brand statement, FHI will continue to pursue further growth by offering its customers Subaru’s distinctive “Enjoyment and Peace of Mind” driving experience.

Tee off for Trees breaking new ground The Tee off for Trees tournament which will take place at Hermanus Golf Club on Saturday 9 November will be of historic importance. It is the first time that players will have the opportunity of participating in a 27-hole tournament using all three nines.

During play the golfers will pass and thus be able to view the 120 newly-planted trees, all indigenous.

Tree size, shape and character have all been considered in fitting them into their designated planting positions, while careful consideration has also been given to the coastal location

and climate and its soil conditions. Coral trees, hard pear, waterbessie, yellowwood, red alder, wild olive, white pear, Africa holly, Natal fig and wild plum, have been planted in clumps. All barring one variety are evergreen – only the coral tree is deciduous and loses its leaves in winter.

We are grateful to our sponsors Southern Turf Management, Neutrog and Sterling Auto for covering the cost of the tournament, thus ensuring that all proceeds can go towards the new trees and the beautification of our course.

RACING: Kurt “The Trim­ mer” Fortune from Hermanus competed in the October Re­ gional Superbike racing with outstanding results. After a tough battle with three riders he finished 4th overall and broke out of class B with a personal best laptime of 1:17.1 and will now be competing with the elite Western Province class. He thanks his team and spon­ sors for the opportunity. The next race is 30 November at Killarney raceway.

Hawston netball back on its feet KERRY VAN RENSBURG The Hawston Netball Club held their awards function at Club Octopus last Friday evening.

Coach Johnalize April said the club was last active in 2007 and only got back on its feet this year. She says the five-year gap was due to the fact that many of the players had been pregnant and raising children during this period.

April says: “I am very proud of my girls. The A-team and B-team both won second place in the Overberg Netball League.”

During the 2013 season, the Hawston Netball Club played against teams from Gansbaai, Kleinmond, Bredasdorp and Bot River.

April says: “It’s mostly old players who have returned to play netball, with a few new players and high school girls joining the club.”

She says the girls must be 16 years and over to play in the adult league.

At the lively end of the season awards function on Friday, the Player of the Year trophy was awarded to Elene Rudolph while Charmalin Johnson was named Sportswoman of the Year and team captain. She was also presented with the club trophy.
