Festival a success, but who really gains?
JANHENDRIK COETZER
“The Two Oceans Hermanus Whale Festival’s main purpose is not to make profit, but rather to promote Hermanus to visitors from all corners of the globe.” According to Whale Festival organiser, Leon Theron, who made this statement, this should be taken into consideration before people complain about not enough money being invested locally. For many years the question has been asked, “of all the money made during the festival, how much of that actually stays in Hermanus?” Referring to the festival stalls, Theron said stall owners from Hermanus will always get first option. “I always say that local people
need to apply if they want a stall. I cannot always beg people to be part of the festival. So I urge them to get an application form, fill it in and give it to me. And don’t wait until the last minute to apply.” There were 68 stalls in total, of which 29 were local including 14 NGO stalls. The balance of 39 stall holders were from elsewhere. Last year the festival saw more than 110 000 people flocking to Hermanus, and with the perfect weather experienced this year, it could be even more. However, the visitors’ survey will only reveal those numbers sometime next week. Although there were some complaints about the festival, feedback gained from members of the Hermanus Tourism Bureau is positive. According to Frieda Lloyd, vice-chair-
person of the Hermanus Tourism Bureau, this year’s activities provided many more options to visitors. “I am very pleased with how the festival went, and it was also very well promoted. Even the tourism office was busier than previous years. I think the festival this year extended the variety of activities and that the organising team does more with less.” Lloyd said that if she has to point out a negative, it’s the fact that only the town centre is busy during the festival and that she would like to see more activities extended to the surrounds. In response, Theron said that if money was not an issue, he would definitely look into this matter. “I would love for the festival to not only take place in the centre of town. It will
be great if one can utilise more space for the festival. Almost like the KKNK in Oudtshoorn where the whole town gets involved.” According to Chris Johnson from the Accommodation Portfolio for Hermanus Tourism, the Whale Festival was a huge success. “We had many bookings, definitely more than last year. I think the festival was well organised and that the beautiful weather played a big part in its success. The only problem I had was with waste management. The waste could have been better managed.” Theron agreed that waste management was a problem. “In fact it was not only the festival area, it was the whole of Hermanus. We had about 30 dustbins and five cleaners, which are more than enough.” ) Article continues on page 4.

Vrou sterf in brandende huis JANINE VAN DER RIET “Ons is op pensioen, veronderstel om ons aftrede te geniet. Nou, ná 34 jaar se getroude lewe, is my vrou in ’n vlammehel dood.” So het Frederick Rooi van Stanford Dinsdag gesê ná sy vrou, wat aan ’n rolstoel gekluister was ná ’n beroerte, in hul huis omgekom het toe die huis skielik Saterdagoggend in vlamme uitgebars het. Frederick en sy dogter, Louise, was op pad Gansbaai toe om inkopies te doen en hy het sy suster Catherine gevra om na sy vrou, Anetta Rooi (60), om te sien terwyl hulle gou by die winkels is. “Ek en Louise het op die hoofpad (R43) op pad na Gansbaai donker rook sien trek. Dit het gelyk of dit by of naby ons huis is, en ek het onmiddellik omgedraai en teruggejaag.” Met hul aankoms is sy ergste vrees bevestig. Sy huis was in vlamme en sy vrou het in die brand omgekom, want sy kon nie sonder haar rolstoel, waar sy in haar bed gelê het, wegkom nie. ’n Omstander, wat eerste op die toneel was, het deur die vlamme gebeur en vir Catherine uit die

Twee konyne wat in ’n hok langs die huis aangehou is, het ook in die brand omgekom. Die brandweer en polisiebeamptes was vinnig op die toneel, maar die huis se struktuur kon nie gered word nie. Die Rooi-familie is steeds ontroosbaar. “Sy was my alles ge-
wees! Ons was so lief vir mekaar, en behalwe vir ons 34 jaar getroude lewe, het ons mekaar nog tien jaar voor dit geken. Nou dat ons ’n rustige aftrede kon geniet, is sy dood.” Frederick en Louise bly tans by familie. Volgens Frederick lyk dit of die oorsaak van die brand ’n kortsluiting kon wees.

Stanford CPF thanks police for nabbing house robber JANINE VAN DER RIET Members of the Stanford Community Policing Forum (CPF) showed their appreciation towards Stanford Police officers on Saturday 4 October for arresting a suspect in a house robbery in September. The CPF members thanked the police for their quick response and professional conduct that led to the arrest of a suspect after he broke into a house opposite the police station in Stanford. Each officer involved received a Pick and Pay voucher for their effort. The suspect, who robbed and attacked a woman (35) in her house, even swam across the river to try and get away from the policemen who were chasing
him, but, after an intense search, he was found and arrested. (HT 25 Sept ‘Woman robbed across the road from police station’) The incident took place on Sunday 21 September around 01:45. The victim was sleeping when she became aware of a man in her room. When he realised she was awake, he jumped on her and started to hit her with his fists, but the woman fought back while screaming for help. According to Sgt RJ Gouws from the Stanford Police, at that stage the suspect heard a vehicle stop outside the premises and he fled with the woman’s keys. The suspect was charged with house robbery and has since confessed to committing the crime. He appeared in court on Tuesday 23 September.
Willem Mcklein from the Stanford CPF handed over Pick n Pay vouchers to the shift members on Saturday as a token of apprecia tion for apprehending a house robbery suspect.
Rustige Walvisfees te danke aan goeie samewerking tussen rolspelers Besonder min voorvalle is gedurende die Walvisfees-naweek by die Hermanus-polisie en Overstrand-verkeer-en-wetstoepassing aangemeld. Neville Michaels, direkteur van Overstrand-beskermingsdienste, het ’n geringe getal voorvalle bevestig wat deur wetstoe-
passing en die brandweer gehanteer moes word. In Gansbaai was daar een veldbrand en twee in Hermanus. Twee huise is daardeur geraak nadat ’n brand by ’n huis in Stanford uitgebreek en dit geblus moes word. (Sien bo). Geen ander strukture is egter
in die Overstrand deur ’n brand beskadig nie. Net een ongeluk is tydens die Walvisfees van 3 tot 6 Oktober in die gebied tussen Kleinmond en Bettysbaai aangemeld. Volgens kol. Francois de Wet, waarnemende stasiebevelvoerder van die Hermanus-polisie,
Vrou se dood nie moord, sê polisie ANNETTE THERON “Dit is definitief nie moord nie,” het kapt. Gerrit Botes van die Caledon-polisie gesê oor Cornél Groenewald (21) se tragiese dood verlede Saterdag. (HT 2 Okt Jong ma se dood ’n raaisel). Botes sê die nadoodse ondersoek het getoon sy het ’n stuiptrekking gehad. Daar word vermoed sy het oor die reling geval en in die Badsrivier beland. ’n Verbyganger het dieselfde oggend om 08:05 haar liggaam in ’n watersloot by die bruggie in Mackaystraat gevind. Groenewald was ’n pakker by Caledon Spar. Kapt. Botes het gerugte van ’n
reeksmoordenaar, wat Caledonners op hol het, besweer nadat Groenewald se liggaam die tweede was wat in minder as drie weke in Caledon gevind is. “Daar was vanjaar drie moorde in ons gebied. Twee was familieverwant en die liggaam van die vrou wat in Nuwestraat langs die brug gevind is, is tans in ’n sensitiewe stadium van ondersoek.”

was die Walvisfees-naweek redelik stil wat misdaad betref. “Daar is wel sewe mense van dronkbestuur aangekla.” Die samewerking tussen al die rolspelers gedurende die fees het ’n groot rol in die vreedsaamheid daarvan gespeel, sê hy.

Great start to First Fridays Art Walk
3
CILENE BEKKER The inaugural Hermanus First Fridays Art Walk on 3 October, from 17:00 to 20:00, with 11 galleries in the Hermanus CBD participating, was well attended and according to the driver of the initiative, Terry Kobus from Originals Art Gallery, all the galleries were over the moon and quite a few artworks were sold. This initiative has had a long run-up. As Patrick Chapman remarked “I have tried to get galleries to work together like this for the past four years, but to no avail. Kudos to Terry for pulling it off eventually.” The drive caused Terry to have a couple of sleepless nights, but he said “it was a wonderful breakthrough to get the gallery owners to sit together around one table and agree on the Art Walk initiative. “Come Friday, I was so worried that no one will pitch on the first walk, but the turn-out was wonderful. Hopefully we have started something that has the potential to develop even further.” Some galleries reported that browsers were back on Saturday and Sunday to buy. “But even if the Art Walk did not result in sales, it is a great marketing drive and the potential is always there that people will come back to buy,” said Terry. The next two walks are scheduled for Friday 7 November, and Friday 5 December.
Some of the art wal kers, snapped here at Rossouw Modern Art, were Jozua Ros souw (gallery ow ner), Roger van Schie, Jon Ward, Christo du Toit and Tertius Lützeyer.

Boere is raadop met “onverantwoordelike fietsryers “ JANINE VAN DER RIET ’n Boer naby Karwyderskraal in die Hemelen-Aarde-Vallei is al raadop met fietsryers wat, volgens hom, soms in die middel van die pad ry, nie by gewone verkeersreëls hou nie, insluitend spoedbeperkings, en derhalwe ’n gevaar vir motoriste op die paaie inhou. Hy en ander boere wat die R320 tussen Hermanus en Caledon gereeld gebruik, asook die agterpad na Karwyderskraal by Fisherhaven, voel padreëls is nie net vir motoriste nie, maar vir fietsryers ook. “Sommige fietsryers is baie onverantwoordelik. Nie almal nie, maar sommige. Verlede week het fietsryers net na die De Bos Dam rigting Hermanus, teen ongeveer 80 k/h op die gevaarlike Volmoed-draai, ook bekend as Appeldraai, aangepyl. Hul ry dan effens stadiger, maar anderkant die draai trap hul weer volspoed. Hulle is ’n gevaar vir hulself asookvir ander padgebruikers.” Hy sê die boere het nie ’n probleem dat fiets-
ryers ook die pad gebruik nie, maar hulle verantwoordelikheid teenoor ander padgebruikers behoort ’n prioriteit wees. Met die jaarlikse Cape Argus Pick n Payfietstoer en ander fietswedrenne waarvoor fietsryers oefen, moet motoriste voorbereid wees op al meer fietsryers wat die gewilde sport beoefen. Neville Michaels, direkteur: Overstrandbeskermingsdienste sê gegewe die op- en afdraandes kenmerkend van die paaie rondom Overstrand, is dié gebied ’n gewilde ‘oefenbaan” vir sowel ervare mededingers én diegene wat vir die eerste keer deelneem,” dikwels met die uitsluitlike hoop om bloot die wenstreep in een stuk te haal.” “Maar fietsryers moet hulle deel doen om minder onaangename ervarings langs die pad te voorkom.” Hy waarsku ook alle motoriste om daarop bedag te wees dat nie alle fietsryers geoefende ryers is nie. “Ons wil ’n beroep op alle motoriste doen om seker te maak dat hulle ’n minimum af-
stand van 1,5 m toelaat wanneer hulle fietsryers verbysteek. Op die webwerf van Pedal Power, ’n professionele vereniging waaraan baie fietsryers behoort, word verskeie wenke gegee oor hoe fietsryers hul veiligheid langs die pad kan verseker: ) Gehoorsaam die verkeersreëls; ) Wees so sigbaar as moontlik, veral as jy vroegoggend en laatmiddag gaan ry; ) Belê in liggies vir jou fiets (wit voor, rooi agter); ) Dra reflekterende bandjies om jou enkels en kies helder kleure wanneer jy fietsryklere koop; ) Dra altyd jou valhelm; ) Moet nooit oor rooi verkeersligte of op sypaadjies ry nie; ) Hou altyd links van die middellyn; ) Maak altyd seker waar jou blindekol is voordat jy van rigting verander; en ) Gebruik die korrekte handseine wanneer jy wil stop of afdraai.

Nog ’n lang pad vir R320 A pile of branches being chopped up by municipal workers is all that is left of a giant Norfolk Pine that used to be home to raptors such as the African Harrier Hawk (Gymnogene) and the African Goshawk. I
ANNETTE THERON Die opgradering van die R320 tussen Hermanus en Caledon sal na verwagting nou eers in Augustus aanstaande jaar voltooi wees. Daar was groot opgewondenheid toe daar in Februarie 2012 aangekondig is die pad gaan, na vyftig jaar se rompslomp, geteer word. Daar is tóé geglo die projek sou vandeesmaand afgehandel wees. Die likwidasie van die kontrakteurs wat met die projek begin het, Vusela, asook vloedskade in November verlede jaar, het egter groot vertragings meegebring. Andries von Wageningen, die ingenieur op die konstruksieterrein, het Maandag gesê die projek is tans agter, maar gegewe die ekstra werk as gevolg van die vloedskade is die konstruksie nie buitensporig agter nie. “Ons bly die situasie nou monitor en die kontrakteur poog om tyd op te maak waar moontlik.” Von Wageningen sê voorts die opgraderingsprojek vorder. “Dit gaan maar effe moeilik in die nat maande, maar as die son skyn ‘hardloop’ dinge darem goed. Die herstelwerk as gevolg van die vloede van November 2013 het egter ook ’n negatiewe effek op die program gehad.” Von Wageningen het die koerant na die provinsiale departement van vervoer verwys oor die swak onderhoud van die bestaande teerpad wat buite die opgraderingsgrense val. “Daar is ’n aparte kontrak uit vir roetine-onderhoud op hierdie gedeeltes (tussen Sandbaai en High Season en Shaw’s-pas tot by Caledon).” Inwoners en boere is hoogs ontstoke oor die slegte toestand van dié stukke pad.

Inwoners en padgebruikers is ontevrede oor die toestand van die R320 tussen Sandbaai tot High Season en vanaf Shaw’spas tot Caledon. Hier die is die Caledongedeelte van die pad. FOTO: ANNETTE THERON Avril Adams, skoolhoof van Diepgat Primêr, sê die toestand van die pad is verskriklik sleg. “Ons rygoed kan nie hou nie. En toe dit so gereën het, was die pad gevaarlik en het ek gegly en byna ’n ongeluk gehad as gevolg van die klei in die pad. As jy vassit is daar niemand om jou te help nie. Daar moet nou regtig plan gemaak word dat die pad kan klaarkom.” Leon Theron, eienaar van Déjà vu in die Hemel-en-Aarde-vallei, sê die toestand van die pad tussen Sandbaai en High Season is treurig. “En dit word nie reggemaak nie.” Hy sê voorts indien onderhoud plaasvind, word dit nie na wense gedoen nie.
“Dit wil voorkom asof dit reggemaak word maar ’n week later is die gat groter as vantevore.” Schalk de Beer, eienaar van Nouvelle Mushrooms, sê die gedeelte van die pad tussen Caledon en Shaw’s-pas is in ’n haglike toestand. “Ons gebruik sewe dae per week dié pad met drie voertuie en ervaar ernstige slytasie. Dis uiters gevaarlik vir my werknemers wat daagliks die pad moet gebruik en het ’n groot koste-element vir die onderhoud van my voertuie.” Anton Nell, direkteur van konstruksie by die Wes-Kaapse departement van vervoer, het teen druktyd nog nie kommentaar gelewer nie.
A resident of Northcliff was distressed by the Overstrand Municipality’s decision to cut down an old pine tree in Northcliff this week, near Duiker and Impala streets. Andrew Phillip said he noticed the large cluster pine (Pinus Pinaster) being felled in Rotary Park on Tuesday. “It must have been about 50 or 60 years old and was massive. “The Gymnogene (African Harrier Hawk) has been nesting there for years and now the nests are destroyed. “Apparently it was cut down to minimise wind damage, as we are
entering the windy season, but it has been there for ages!” According to Don Kearney, senior manager of Hermanus administration at the Overstrand Municipality the tree held great danger for the surrounding homes as it was right on the boundary of the neighbouring yards and posed a safety risk for children playing on the jungle gym. “Sadly we couldn’t only cut back some of the branches as these pines can never recover from such damage. “We regret the loss of the tree where raptors are known to nest.” They will now work towards planting a suitable indigenous tree in the area, added Kearney.
Festival a success, but who really gains? From page 1. “But it wasn’t managed properly. Next year we will have to look into getting a central dumping point. If the cleaner takes out the black bag then you can dump it there instead of putting it next to the bin.” According to Hamish Hofmeyr from the Restaurant Portfolio for Hermanus Tourism, he got the numbers that were expected. “This year I didn’t see more feet, nor a decrease from last year. Although the restaurants did well, I think it was basically the same as the previous year. “I also think restaurants need to keep their booking system open over the festival. As restaurant owner you are taking a risk to take bookings. Because it’s so busy, some cus-
tomers making a booking may not pitch, and then you showed other customers away. So over a busy period, rather keep your booking system open.” On a question to Theron whether more can be done in the main road coming into Hermanus to give you more of a festival feeling, he agreed that it’s something they have to focus on for next year. “For next year we have to look at better and bigger branding as you enter Hermanus.” There is however no doubt that the festival generates huge exposure. “We featured in more than 30 media publications, radio stations, tv channels and print. “I did interviews on radio stations over this period I haven’t even
heard of. We have also already received queries from travelling agencies for next year’s festival”, said Theron. The issue of a main sponsor for next year is still in the balance. “Two Oceans signed a three-year contract which ended last year. However this year they came on board as well. We still have to discuss next year with them”, said Theron. On behalf of Two Oceans Wines, Lizanne Peters: brand manager, extended a huge thank you to Theron and his team for making the Whale Festival such an amazing experience and success. “Congratulations on pulling together what can’t always be an easy task. We look forward to future collaborations”, said Peters.

Plaaslike feesgangers vies vir rommelstrooiers
’n Leser het hierdie foto van die rommel op ’n dak by die Ou Hawe Saterdag tydens die Walvisfees geneem. JANINE VAN DER RIET Die meeste feesgangers wat die Hermanus Walvisfees vanjaar bygewoon het, het die fees oor die algemeen geniet, maar plaaslike inwoners voel sterk oor feesgangers se rommelstrooiery en die stalletjies wat nie op standaard was nie. Feesgangers se kommentaar: ) Die fees moet liewer herdoop word na The Fast Food Feast. Een voordeel wat ek gehad het, was dat ek een hele restaurant vir myself gehad het. Daar was vir ’n geruime tyd geen besoekers aan die restaurant nie, behalwe vir twee
paartjies wat ingekom het. Ek neem aan die meeste feesgangers het aan die stalletjiekos gesmul, in plaas van die restaurante te ondersteun. ) Tydens die fees is ons omtrent vertrap en die toilette het my gewalg, maar ek het darem lekker gestap, maar niks gekoop nie, want daar was niks in my smaak nie. ) Dit was my eerste Walvisfees. Die stalletjies het my nie juis beïndruk nie. Die meeste van die goed kan mens in ’n China Shop vir baie minder koop! Ek hoop om volgende jaar meer van die opvoerings en kunsuitstallings by te woon. Ek het onge-
lukkig hierdie jaar besoekers gehad wat my ’n bietjie gekniehalter het. ) Die fees was regtig goor. Daar is meer papiere as mense. Ag nee, swak. Ek dink die fees kan maar afgestel word. ) Waar is, of waar was die fees? Wat behels ’n fees? Stalletjies? Dit sien ons elke dag, orals! Nee wat, ek is nie beïndruk nie. ) Die Walvisfees het so agteruitgegaan. Geen opwindende kunstenaars nie. Niks het my beindruk nie. Nee wat, as dit so aangaan, dan kan hulle maar die fees los. Wat daarvan om dit vir jonger mense te gee om te reël.

Lomond Wines scoops double gold at Veritas Lomond Wines received nine awards at this year’s Veritas Wine Awards, which took place at the CTICC in Cape Town on 4 October. The estate’s maiden vintage SMV 2013 (Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Viognier) achieved a coveted double gold medal, and its Conebush Syrah 2011 received a gold medal. Silver medals were awarded to its SSV 2014, as well as to seven of its other white wines. “We are ecstatic that the first red blend made at Lomond achieved such high honours. Our whole team pulled together to create this special wine,” says Lomond shareholder and viticulturist, Wayne Gabb. Situated in the Uilkraalsriver Valley,
Lomond is one of only a handful of wine farms within the Cape Agulhas appellation of origin. Gabb and winemaker Kobus Gerber say they are relative newcomers to the competition. Vinified as naturally as possible, the Lomond maiden vintage SMV 2013 offers an abundance of dark fruit, floral nuances and sweet spice, and pairs well with slow-roasted venison casserole, fillet or bobotie, says Gabb. The Conebush Syrah 2011 has always been a firm favourite on the farm. According to Gerber, this wine showcases the uniqueness of the Lomond vineyards and terroir which includes 18 types of soil.

First Kia Sportage winner
The first of eight Kia Sportage 2.0L Ingnites, worth R320 000 each, were handed over to Steven Lakay from Swellendam during the Huggies Dry Confort competition on Friday 3 October at Kia Motors Hermanus. Lakay, a father of three and a traffic officer, entered the competition by sending one SMS, and it paid off for him. “I couldn’t believe when Huggies contacted me to tell me that I have won the Kia Sportage. It’s a blessing and I have been so excited that I can’t sleep at night. I am thrilled and can’t wait to enjoy this car with my family. I have never won anything this big, and it is really going to make such a difference in our day-today lives,” says Lakay. According to Maryke Pienaar, Brand Trade Activator at Huggies, they understand that being a parent is a full-time job. “By giving away these cars we are supporting parents on their parenting journey and hopefully this can lessen the financial load they face,” says Pienaar. The competition started in August and will run until the end of October.

WEERMAG KUIER BY WALVISSE: Die SuidAfri kaanse Nasionale Weermag (SANW) was deel van die afgelope naweek se Two Oceans Walvisfeesverrigtin ge, met ’n konvooi deur die middedorp.

WALVISKYKERS: Waar daar ’n gaatjie was tussendeur die tente, met ’n uitsig oor Walkerbaai, het walvisgangers hul sit gekry en gewag vir die walvisse om hul ding te doen. Geluk kig het die weer, én ’n paar walvisse, mooi saamgespeel.

Die weermag se orkes het tot groot vermaak van besoekers aan die Walvisfees deur die feesterrein en middedorp gemarsjeer, gevolg deur die weermag se vloot voertuie.
Sommige besoekers aan Hermanus het vroegtydig al “kamp” opgeslaan en nesgeskop in af wagting op walvis bokspronge.

A bird’s eye view of the Whale fest JANINE VAN DER RIET Malcolm Uytenbogaardt, trotse eienaar van hierdie 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, het laat hoor hoe dié enjin nog kan brul.
Base 4 Aviation, based in Cape Town, took radio and television presenter Liezel van der Westhuizen on a helicopter ride on Saturday to see the whales and whale festival-goers in action. Liezel, currently presenter on KFM and Expresso, admitted she is very scared of heights, but somehow, always ends up participating in activities involving heights. The helicopter departed from the Seeen-Sand location near Voëlklip and took to the skies, hovering over the whale festival in the CBD and the ocean. Dozens of whales with their calves were spotted. Liezel closed her eyes quite often during the flight, but her GoPro captured every flying minute.

Please, help a crèche The Ella Gordon crèche in Karwyderskraal received funding from the Department of Health for a few years. This funding has come to an end as from this week. The Department of Social Development is in the process of registering the crèche, but it will take up to three months to register. After registration, we will be able to apply for further funding. We currently have 31 children in the crèche and employ four members of staff and the contributions from the parents hardly cover the costs. Any contributions from the public to cover the basic need of food for the children and salaries for staff would be much appreciated. My contact number is 061 437 6225
KOMMENTAAR Raak betrokke Soos elke jaar is daar verdeeldheid en vrae rondom die Walvisfees. Soos berig is, is verskeie hotel, gaste huis en restauranteienaars dit eens dat vanjaar se fees ’n reuse sukses was, ter wyl van die plaaslike inwoners en ander besighede sê dat hulle, of die dorp, nie regtig daarby baat nie. Die kern vraag is: Waarom kom men se van regoor die wêreld na die Walvis fees? Sekerlik kom mense van oor die berg, van die noorde en selfs oorsee (ja, daar is oorsese toeriste wat hul vakansie rond om die fees beplan) om die fees by te woon, walvisse te kyk, tussen stalletjies rond te wandel, uit te eet en lekker te kuier. Feesgangers kom nie na Hermanus om inkopies te doen nie. Die fees is hoofsaaklik daar om Her manus en sy walvisse aan die wêreld as ’n toeristebestemming bekend te stel. En wie weet, dalk bekoor die omge wing hulle genoeg om uit te kyk vir ’n vakansiehuis, of om sommer sak en pak hierheen te trek. Ja, daar is sekere aspekte waar die fees kan verbeter, maar kom ons staan eerder saam en raak betrokke. Klop aan by die Walvisfeeskantoor, maak ’n voorstel of kom met ’n oplossing vir ’n probleem, eerder as om te sê die fees werk nie vir Hermanus nie. Die First Fridays Art Walk is ’n goeie voorbeeld van wat bereik kan word as mense saamwerk. As jy kyk na die groter prentjie, is dit immers dinge soos die Walvisfees, ge kombineer met die walvisseisoen, wat ons dorp só gewild maak.
Wat ’n fees in Stanford Die Stanford NG gemeente het Saterdag 4 Oktober sy basaar gehou. Dit was ’n feestelike geleentheid waaraan inwoners van Stanford en buurdorpe deelgeneem het. Besoekers het hulle ook verlustig in die pragtige blomme-uitstalling in die kerk. Die tema was voëls van die Bybel en verskeie teksverse is deur blomme voorgestel. Stanford se blommeliefhebbers en rangskikkers sorg elke jaar vir ’n fees vir die oog, en vanjaar was dit weer só. Daar was genoeg om te eet en te koop om huis toe te neem en die kinders is besig gehou met ’n yslike springkasteel en hul eie speelgoedtafel terwyl die ouers kon rondsnuffel by al die interessante tafels of lekker tee drink in die teetent, wat vanjaar die United-kerk se bydrae tot die basaar was. Die algehele wenner van die potjiekoskompetisie was Dirk en Natasha van der Berg van Country Fair. Hulle het weggestap met ’n hele slagskaap as prys en hoef dié maand nie vleis te koop nie. Dit moet ’n baie moeilike keuse vir die beoordelaars gewees het, want selfs besoekers het gesukkel om tussen die geurige potte te kies. Die organiseerders het hul dank uitgespreek teenoor die kerkraad, hul gades en helpers en almal in die gemeente en die Unitedkerk wat baie ure se werk en voorbereiding ingesit het. Hulle het ook Stanford se gemeenskap bedank vir hul ondersteuning, sowel as besoekers van buite wat besoek afgelê het by die basaar. Hulle het almal weer uitgenooi na volgende jaar se feesvieringe.

First Friday a big hit MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES: A reader sent in this photo showing the jol lification at the Old Harbour on Saturday when many youngsters took to the water on a sunny Saturday. PHOTO: ELEANOR
Waves bubbling with whales The waves in Hermanus seemed to be positively bubbling with whales this week. On our first day here we saw ten, which blew our minds. But the next day was completely overwhelming. On a beautiful sunny Saturday afternoon we drove to Stanford and took a half hour flight in a Cessna. For two people from England the airport was interesting. A long tin shed on a hillside off a dirt track. The very bumpy lane the plane took to reach the rolling green runway between the protea plants was something else as well. But Dave the pilot had obviously done this before and was an excellent pilot. Within a minute we were over the sea watching mums and baby whales together, plus a couple of mating pods. We saw how mums roll on their backs with babies lying across their tummies, We even had an exhilarating beach
skim. All in all we saw fifty whales, one great white shark, a pod of dolphins, and 2 tourist boats. Magic. Then back to land-based viewing for the rest of the week. And we were not disappointed. On Heritage Day at the Old Harbour we got so close we could almost touch some before moving away to watch their more acrobatic friends. But the last acrobats saved themselves for the Friday. We were having lunch at Ocean Basket when three whales, in what could almost be performing synchronised swimming, leapt right in front of us. All in all a privilege. We are jealous of your closeness to your aquatic neighbours. We will be back

Age does not matter in provincial hospitals This is an open letter to the Democratic Alliance as I reside in the Cape, but it could and probably does apply to all provincial hospitals. On election day the Democratic Alliance makes a special effect to accommodate the elderly by sending election officers to most retirement villages for those who have no transport. At the polling stations you have people walking down the rows of voting citizens and taking the elderly to the front and allowing them vote first. Unfortunately this does not apply when these same elderly people have to visit your provincial hospitals. I was informed that age does not matter when you are ill and need help. You have to wait your turn especially if you are deemed at “deaths door”. It does not mean that you will not die and this has happened when the sister doing the triage test is wrong! This system may mean that you have to wait the whole day, sitting on an uncomfortable chair in a very noisy environment, for someone to help you. Your mental state and trauma also do not count. There is something seriously wrong with this picture. Are the elderly only valuable when they are required to vote? Babies and young children should receive immediate attention as they can die very quickly. Very old people are also fragile and should be considered next. I am not suggesting that the current triage system be abandoned, simply that the above
criteria be considered during triage. I understand that most hospitals are understaffed at the best of times and that this is exacerbated by unexpected absenteeism due to the ill health of staff members. Thinking out of the box, it may be worthwhile if retired sisters and nurses could become part of an emergency list of professionals willing to work half or full day on a call out basis. The pensions and the increased cost of living for most pensioners are dire and many dedicated sisters and nurses would probably welcome a chance to earn a bit extra. They could be used in helping out at the triage stage, direction non emergency cases to the clinic etc. Retired nurses could be asked to help out in the wards as on nurse on duty in a large ward is not sufficient to attend to the needs of patients. Some of the elderly are unable to walk unaided to the toilets, etc. The use of wheelchairs or walkers would be essential. If funds are unavailable, the friends of the hospital could be asked to set up a fundraising campaign in order to assist. A hospital service to the public will only work if there is “buy in” by both the givers of the service and the receivers. Human beings are not robots on conveyor belts or cattle in a kraal to be herded from one waiting are to the next! Hospital staff are there to serve the public not the bureaucrat system of the hospital! The dictatorial attitude of some staff should also be corrected.

It’s wonderful to see how much talent abounds in this small town and I think congratulations are due to the initiator, the artists and gallery owners who put together the Art Walk on Friday evening. This kind of programme lifts Hermanus to another plane and anyone who missed it, and loves art, should make a point of strolling from gallery to gallery on every first Friday of the summer months. A word of thanks also for the generous and lively hospitality visitors received at each art venue.
AVIS MACINTYRE HERMANUS
Nog inligting oor streek hof in Hermanus Ek is genoop om moontlike misverstande uit die weg te ruim na die pragtige berig op 25 September oor egskeidings in Hermanus, en het ’n paar byvoegings tot die berig. 1. Die egskeidings is nie in die Hermanus “magistraatshof” nie maar wel die Streekhof van Somerset-Wes gehou te Hermanus. 2. Maandeliks besoek die streekhof Hermanus (ook Caledon en Bredasdorp) om ernstige strafsake aan te hoor, maar tot nou toe nooit siviele streekhof-sake nie, en dit is die deurbraak hier, dat met die toestemming en samewerking van verskeie akteurs, in besonder Landdros Fransie Mouton, Landdros Bruce Langa en dr. James Lekaleni en ook die departement van justisie, die eerste egskeidings hier kon plaasvind. 3. Daar word voorsien dat ander streekhof siviele sake ook mettertyd hanteer kan word, soos aansoeke en selfs verhore. 4. Ten laaste, teoreties kan die ander setels van die streekhof in die Overberg ook sulke siviele egskeidings hanteer, maar ’n mens moet waardeer dat die landdros, die griffier, die familie-advokaat, die hele hof as’t ware vanaf Somerset-Wes ingevoer moet word, daarom is dit uiters belangrik dat die regsgemeenskap hierdie geleentheid benut om die rol vol te maak, want andersins sal dit nie die kostes werd wees vir die streekhof om hier te kom sit nie. Ek waardeer werklik die publisiteit wat hierdie deurbraak gegun is deur die Hermanus Times om geregtigheid nader te bring aan die gemeenskap wat dit bedien.

BURGUNDY WHALE BOULE CHALLENGE: “What a love ly day and what a lovely bunch of peo ple we had gathering on the lawns of the Marine Hotel on Sat urday,” said Kari Brice, organiser of the annual tournament, together with Glynis van Rooyen. This year was the 11th boule challenge. The winning teams won a total of R5 000 plus in prizes and those who were fortunate in lucky draws won over R4 000’s worth in prizes. The winners were: 1 – Dave and Linda Bellas, 2 – Peter and Anna Voigt, 3 – Pe ter and Marie Dagg and 4 – Wina Loubser and Richard Graham. Brice said that R2 000 of the day’s innings will be donated to The Hermanus Shelter fund. ABOVE: In action is Wina Loubser and her partner for the day, Richard Graham, who came fourth overall. In this round they came up against Hugh and Lynn Frangs who called themselves the “Ouboet” team – a clever play on the word Obut, the manufacturer of the boule balls.

Prentjie omgekeerd Die prentjie in die bolug is vandag net mooi omgekeerd van hoe dit verlede week daar uitgesien het. Die donker fronte wat oor die suidelike halfrond getrek het, lyk nou of hulle ’n mokerhou gekry het en in talle fragmente uitmekaar spat. Die geheelprentjie wys net weer hoe “otherwise” die Overstrand se weerpatroon kan wees wanneer die res van die land “vure” doodslaan. Wat opval, is dat die Overstrand ook maar 40 km/h winde oor sy kop gehad het, alhoewel goed ’n kilometer of drie hoog oor ons koppe verby en die laagdruk hier onderlangs het skaars geroer, waar dit op rondom 1012 hPa geluier het. Dit het toe al duidelik geword dat die reën wat vir die hele Overberg voorspel word, ons deels misloop. Die enigste lastigheidjie is die koue wat die huidige stelsel kom plant het en vir ons wag wanneer ons vanoggend (Donderdag) uitloer. En ook dat die ergste wolke eers middag se kant sal padgee, of liewer minder word. Die koue kom met ’n suidelike bries wat ons tot môre-oggend (Vrydag) maar weer na 11 °C terugstoot. En hier sien ons weer die andersheid van Hermanus se weer: Ons geniet ’n suiglekker aan weerskante van die stokkie. Ons geniet ’n warm noordoos wanneer die steentjies reg val en die noordwes as die nood hoog is en die damme begin leegloop.
Dié keer draai die oostewind die krane weer gaaf oop en voor die son Vrydag sak, raak ons van die ergste koue ontslae en geniet weer ’n slag 20 °C; Saterdagmiddag selfs 21 °C. Teen dié tyd sit ons sakemense alweer op die punte van hulle stoel en wonder wat om alles vir die besoekers reg te kry. Weerhaan dink dit gaan maar weer ’n so-so dag wees wat alles afhang of die suid-oostelike briesie van 4 meter per sekonde, moeilik sal raak. En kyk ons dan na die moontlikheid van reën, lyk die wolke of hulle bietjie dikker word. Die langtermyn vooruitsig is dat daar eers teen Woensdag ’n druppel of twee kan val, maar gisteraand – met diebreëlandwyebeeldvandiebolugingedagte, reken Weerhaan dat dit meer op ’n digte mistigheid kan uitloop wat skaars ’n halwe mm neerslag kan oplewer. Wat opvallend is, is dat die laagdrukke baie diep uit die suide reguit land toe peil, kompleet soos ’n span perde wat ’n wa vol slegte weer nader sleep.

Public talk on ewaste Whale Coast Conservation is holding a public talk about the growing problem of e-waste on Tuesday 14 October at 17:30 at the Green House in Vermont. Vic Hamilton-Attwell, a zoologist from North-West Province now living in Hermanus, will be the guest speaker. Electronic gadgets also become obsolete very rapidly. What happens to these items after their owners no longer want them? Do we, in Hermanus, know what to do with our batteries, cell phones, computers, printers, microwaves, or even fridges and stoves when they die?
Vic says his talk is aimed at helping you understand what e-waste is and what happens to our electronic devices when they become e-waste. It will provide practical information about what we can do with discarded electronic items in Hermanus. “By being aware of the problems and knowing how we can contribute to the solution, we can help to prevent e-waste from overwhelming the planet.” The entry fee is R10 per person. For more information call Anina Lee, communications manager at Whale Coast Conservation, on 028 316 2527 or 083 242 3295.
Talk will provide practical information about discarding of ewaste.

SPORTS SALOON: DRIVER’S CAR
Jaguar launches new XE MOTORPRESS
The Jaguar XE redefines the concept of the sports saloon and will be the driver’s car in its class. Its lightweight construction, streamlined styling, luxurious interior and outstanding ride and handling are testament to company founder Sir William Lyons’ vision: ‘The car is the closest thing we will ever create to something that is alive’ The rear-drive XE is the only vehicle in its class to use an aluminium-intensive monocoque. This extremely robust yet light structure, together with double wishbone front suspension and an Integral Link rear axle, is fundamental to the XE’s innovative benchmark vehicle dynamics. Jaguar’s world-leading expertise in aluminium structure engineering enables exceptional fuel consumption and emissions figures: with the new Ingenium diesel engines, the XE can achieve 3,8 F/100 km and 109 g/km CO2 – the most efficient Jaguar ever. Powered by the supercharged 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine from the acclaimed Jaguar F-TYPE, the XE S is capable of 0-100 km/h in just 5,1 seconds. “The XE’s driving behaviour fully matches the promise of its seductive looks, and the emotional appeal is supported by state of-theart approaches to efficiency, from aerodynamics to the advanced Ingenium engine family.” Kevin Stride, vehicle line director, Jaguar XE. The aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE is the first model developed from Jaguar Land Rover’s new modular vehicle architecture. The long 2,835 mm wheelbase and low seating position enable perfect proportions and a streamlined profile. The cabin offers outstanding levels of comfort and spaciousness. Exquisite materials
and finishes combined with Jaguar craftsmanship make this a class-beating interior that’s unlike anything else in the segment. Jaguar’s new InControl Touch infotainment system takes centre stage: its innovative 8-inch touch screen brings fast, intuitive access to all features and functions – and iOS and Android smartphone apps. The XE has some of the most advanced driver assistance systems available. All Surface Progress Control (ASPC), developed through decades of Jaguar Land Rover experience in off-road traction systems, can electronically gain traction in seconds and is ideal for use on low-grip surfaces, such as snow-covered roads. Laser projection technology enables the XE’s head-up display (HUD) to generate sharp, high-contrast colour graphics (such as vehicle speed and navigation) from a module smaller and almost a third lighter than existing systems, retaining clarity even in direct sunlight. A stereo camera is mounted behind the front windscreen to give the XE a 3D view of the road ahead: this highly accurate data is used for functions including autonomous emergency braking and a lane departure warning system. The XE is the stiffest, most aerodynamic Jaguar saloon car ever built. It is also the first Jaguar to be equipped with electric power steering, tuned to provide exceptional responsiveness and feel but with lower energy consumption than hydraulic systems. The XE also boasts the lowest cost of ownership and most environmentally sustainable credentials of all Jaguar models. Manufacturing of the aluminium-intensive Jaguar XE occurs at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant in an all-new facility. Part of a R27,5 billion investment, this flexible, purpose-built site will create 1 700 UK jobs. The XE now completes the Jaguar saloon car range, sitting below the XF and XJ model
Each XE is designed to offer an unrivalled combination of steering response, ride comfort, re finement and performance. PHOTO: MOTORPRESS lines. Each XE is designed to offer an unrivalled combination of steering response, ride comfort, refinement and performance. These attributes are matched to the sleek, perfectlyproportioned exterior styling and the premium materials and meticulous attention to detail defining the interior. The entry-level to the XE range, the Pure* model, features high-quality cloth seats and a gloss black treatment for the door trim finishers and the signature ‘Riva Hoop’ sweeping around the instrument panel. Seats are trimmed with Taurus leather with unique technical mesh fabric inserts. The ‘Riva Hoop’ and door finishers are in etched aluminium, and the tread plates and sports steering wheel feature R-Sport branding. The exterior is enhanced by a subtle rear spoiler and a noble chrome treatment for the side power vents. Sports suspension delivers even better handling. The most performance-orientated XE model features a race-inspired interior. The Taurus leather seats have suede cloth panels and
the tread plates and leather sports steering wheel carry the S logo. Dark hex aluminium graces the door finishers and the ‘Riva Hoop’, while the centre console is gloss black. The front bumper’s enlarged air intakes hint at the performance potential of the supercharged V6. Side sill extensions, rear spoiler, gloss black rear valance, red brake calipers and optional forged, 20-inch ‘Propeller’ alloy wheels complete the package. Taurus leather upholstery with contrasting stitching delivers a modern, progressive luxury interior, complete with phosphor blue ambient lighting. Inserts on the air-conditioned seat option are perforated and the ‘Riva Hoop’ and door finishers are finished in brushed aluminium. The most luxurious XE model, Portfolio, features a wide range of colour options for the premium Windsor leather with herringbone perforations. The instrument panel features split upper and lower coverings in two colours, complete with colour-keyed twin-needle stitching for a truly bespoke feel. The aluminium trim has an embossed surface finish.
20 HermanusTimes SAC Plug and Play with Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series
BOLAND Auto Sold
9 October, 2014
MOTORPRESS Toyota’s ever hardy Land Cruiser 70 Series was given a new lease on life recently and is said to now be the new torque king of 4WD vehicles, thanks to the fitment of a potent new 4,5 litre 32-valve V8 turbodiesel engine with common-rail direct injection and intercooler. The three Land Cruiser 70 Series models – the 76 Station Wagon, the 79 Single Cab and the 79 Double Cab – all now run this powerplant that delivers an impressive 151 kW of power at 3 400 rpm and 430 Nm of torque from as low as 1 200 rpm that is held all the way to 3 200 rpm. Steves Auto Clinic have been at the forefront of power enhancing on Toyota products for years now and it made perfect sense to tackle the new 4.5 litre V8 turbodiesel Land Cruiser 70 Series to see what could be gained for these go-anywhere vehicles. The plan was relatively simple, no major modifications required, a quick turnaround time of between 1 and 3 days depending on which SAC branch you book your vehicle in at and reliably improved power and torque was to be added. First up they had to acquire a vehicle, so they roped in the pre-owned specialists at Elite Auto in Vereeniging, who happened to have a delivery mileage Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Station Wagon on their floor that could benefit from an SAC power upgrade. To start the process the team at the dedicated R&D Centre at SAC sent the Land Cruiser for road testing and the data returned showed exactly what was initially felt out on the road. Although the V8 turbodiesel makes the power and torque claimed, the over two tonne of the vehicle takes its toll on the real world per-
021 841 4287
021 870 4601
021 887 2840
021 312 3717
formance data achieved. The 0-100 km/h sprint comes up in a leisurely 15 seconds, while the big station wagon took a full 23 seconds to just get to the national speed limit of 120 km/h and of course the in gear acceleration was not much better. This suggested while there might be impressive grunt on tap, trying to overtake or get up to speed in the Land Cruiser was still going to take some work. Once back at the R&D Centre, the SAC team opted to fit their tried and tested UniChip U-Connect Plug and Play unit. This system comes as a stand-alone product, complete with a wiring harness that plugs directly into your Toyota Land Cruiser’s OEM ECU and can be plugged in and out whenever you want or need. The gains here alone were impressive and well worth investing R6 950 incl VAT and fitment for. SAC also decided to fit a 76 mm stainless steel bolt-on De Graaf performance exhaust system to their Land Cruiser and this not only freed up some of that sweet V8 sound, but added another decent helping of power to the equation for a further R6 950 incl VAT, but you can talk to a sales consultant at your nearest SAC branch and he will advise you on the full range of exhaust options available to you. Armed now with around 25 percent extra power on tap, the Toyota Land Cruiser had been transformed, the amount of urge in any gear was unbelievable when compared to standard and the station wagon was eagerly sent back to the Gerotek testing facility for its re-test. The data that came back was simply mind blowing, the 0-100 km/h sprint was now done in a massively improved 12 seconds, an improvement of 3 full seconds, the 120 km/h mark was hit almost 6 seconds sooner at just under 18 seconds. The in gear acceleration
The ingear acceleration times were also much improved by as much as 3 seconds in some segments and this all translates in a vehicle that is just so much better to drive and safer to overtake in. PHOTO: MOTORPRESSS times were also much improved by as much as 3 seconds in some segments, and this all translates in a vehicle that is just so much better to drive and safer to overtake in. Can you imagine how much better this Land Cruiser would tow now too? Elite Auto can be contacted on 016 455 5773

1 MILLION: Chevrolet has reached a milestone number in supermini sales, sur passing 1 million sales worldwide of the Spark and Beat – fresh evidence of Chev rolet’s vehicle lineup attracting more peo ple to the brand around the world. Earlier this year, Chevrolet sold its 3millionth Cruze. The Spark first went on sale as the Beat in India in late 2009. In South Africa, where the Spark has been on sale since 2010, sales increased by 36% from Janu ary to September when compared to the same period in 2013 (6 794 vs 4 983 units). The Spark, along with the rest of the Chevrolet small car lineup, also at tracts the youngest buyers to the brand. This year, sales of Chevrolet small cars have increased more than 9 percent for car buyers under the age of 35. In 2014, the Spark was the only vehicle in the en trylevel segment to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick award. Lightweight, high strength steel constitutes more than 62 per cent of Spark’s underbody and 42 percent of its upper body. It is also used in the roof bow and Bpillars. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

Intense concentration during the air rifle shooting event.
Karwats skills honing champs held On Heritage Day, 22 families from Overberg Homeschoolers, a support group for homeschooling families, joined together for their second annual Karwats skills honing championship on the Karweyderskraal farm in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. A total of 80 contestants was divided into 10 teams, who then competed against each other. The events were archery, slingshot, blowdarts, axe throwing, obstacle course, darts, air rifle shooting, aiming
(pugs & beanbags), puzzles and a paintball target course. The day was also concluded with a family picnic. According to organiser Danie van Zyl, the main idea of this event is to give families the chance to do fun outdoor activities. “These families get to meet new people and develop stronger character like sportsmanship, courage and selflessness. Everyone from young and old enjoyed the day throughly and it was great seeing babies in Kango pouches everywhere and grandparents supporting their grandchildren.”

Golf roundup with Julian Shaw Greetings one and all. This week there was no ladies’ competition as it threatened to rain and blow, but in the end the day came out just fine, by which time the competition was called off. Wednesday was men’s day, with 110 players on the field. The competition was a better ball bogey plus and our winners for the day came in the form of Richard “soft voice” Charton and partner Dave Schutte on a massive +13. Second were Erwin Winkler and Tony Fenner with just one point behind. There were only 3 two clubs and the ball pool paid to +8. Saturday again was beautiful weather and 114 players enjoyed the day in a better ball stableford competition. Winning the competition with a massive 50 points were Frans Senekal and partner Zulch van der Merwe. Just one back on 49 points were the British contin gent of Peter Sulley and Brian Ridley. Great golf guys. There were 8 two clubs and the ball pool paid to 45. The single best round of the day went to Reinhard Buhr with a super nett 63. That 26 handicap must be going down now! On the birthday front this week we have quite a big one. Happy 80th to Christo Nel. Christo is an example to us all, always walks, always plays quickly and still plays off a 14 handicap. Happy Birthday sir. Until next week keep calm and go golfing.

Three Amigos in DOGfight The DOGS played an individual stableford (log) on 7 October in Kleinmond. With the shooting of so many surprisingly high scores on Tuesday there was a feeling of playing in the middle of Bandit Territory rather than peaceful Kleinmond. The usual suspects kept their heads down for a change and it was left to the Three Amigos, Pedro Theron, Gaucho Rade and Poncho Wentzel, to fight it out to the death. Poncho won it after recounting his spoils.
Sheriff Robinson stood little chance against these odds. 39 Gary Wentzel, Peter Theron, Dave Rade; 37 David Naylor; 36 John Cheesbrough, Ian Newman; 35 Dave Smith, Tony Hackett; 33 Gordon Wilson, Trevor Vaughan, Andre Franken; 32 Hugh Frangs, Jon Forsyth; 31 John Tunstall; 28 Mike Graham, Mannes van Zyl, Peter Thomas, Sam Seal; 24 Pat Dewil; 23 Keagan Seal (guest); 19 Dave Robinson. - DAVE SMITH

The Hermanus Bowling Club combined the opening of the 2014 – ’15 bowling season with this year’s Two Oceans Whale Festival with an Open Trips competition on Saturday 4 October.
The publisher of the Hermanus Times, Justin Langeveld, opened the competition with the rolling of the first bowl, with a perfect landing close to the jack. The greens were once again alive with laughter and the clicking of bowl against bowl in the perfect spring weather. It was tough going between the 28 teams of three players each, with teams from as far as Helderberg, Kleinmond, Caledon and Franskraal. Three games of 18 ends each were played. It was a very close competition
with the top three teams securing their positions by only a marginal difference. The winning team from Kleinmond, skipped by Roy Galloway, took top honours with a final score of 49 plus 52. Right on their heels with a score of 48 plus 44 was the Hermanus team, skipped by Keith Kruth. In third position was Pieter Quinn and his team from Caledon with a score of 46 plus 34. Japie Louw from Discovery handed over the prizes. The club sincerely thanked their main sponsors, HiQ and Discovery, as well as the Walker Bay Nursery for the flowers and plants. They also thanked the teams that supported the day’s play and helped make it a huge success. - CHRISSIE VAN WYK
