Mpumalanga Head of Health Suspended Health of province in disarray
Premier David Mabuza
medical waste removal to Isibonelo Waste Solutions, a company with ties to the ANC Youth League president, Julius Malema. The awarding of government tenders take place within a legislative framework and this newspaper report and the entire ordeal raises several questions relating to the awarding of the tender. “If Premier Mabuza suspended HOD Mahlangu due to irregular tender procedures, then the suspension and subesequent investigations and actions are legitimate and
correct. If so, it must be determined if the reported links of the said company with the ANCYL and its president Julius Malema had played a role in the company receiving the R120 million tender in the first place, said Mr Anthony Benade. There was dissatisfaction in the tender process in the inner circle of negotiations as the Premier put forward another company to receive the tender. The snubbing of the Premier cannot be legal grounds for s u s p e n s i o n e i t h e r. T h e p r o v i n c i a l
administration cannot afford to have a Head of Department suspended and possibly dismissed, only to find itself wrapped up in costly litigation and millions in golden handshake pay-outs. The DA is one of the political parties that will demand an investigation and write a formal parliamentary question to the MEC for health, Dr Clifford Mkasi and ask him to investigate the tender process followed in the appointment of Isibonelo Waste Solutions.

HE suspension of HOD Johnson Maghlangu, the Head of the Provincial Department of Health, w a s a n n o u n c e d o n M o n d a y. This puts the health question of the province in more disarray amidst the announcement that ‘sensitive information’ led to the suspension. There are allegations that Mahlangu is linked to a R120m contract with a company linked to the ANC Youth League. Mr Antony Benadé, DA Provincial Leader said, that the party is concerned over the impact it may have on a Department already in the throes of a crisis. The news team of the Highlands Panorama News also investigated the matter and according to sources and a report in the Sowetan, Premier Mabuza suspended Mahlangu for allegedly awarding a tender for
Wimpie Venter gebore 10 Desember 1980 is op 2 November oorlede. Wimpie was alom bekend en bemind in Lydenburg en was by PG Glas werksaam. Wimpie is verlede jaar gediagnoseer met kanker en is na ’n moedige stryd oorlede. Hy laat sy eggenote Nadia en sy moeder Joyce agter. Sy naasbestaandes wil graag hulle dank uitspreek teenoor almal wat die familie bygestaan het en Wimpie gehelp het. Wimpie was altyd blymoedig en het vas vertou sy geloof sal hom deur sy siekte dra en wat met hom gebeur net die “here se Wil” is. Hy sal gemis word. Die begrafnis was op Maandag 7 November. Wyle Wimpie Venter.

Poision in the air The Municipal refuse dump has again been set alight. This started on Sunday 6 November, and the fire is still burning, emitting toxic smoke emanating mainly from burning plastics. This toxic mix is inhaled by the townspeople and people working or living on the dumpsite. Few of us realise the serious health implications associated with this form of air pollution. We call on the Thaba Chweu Municipality to deal with this issue as a matter of extreme urgency.
PAUL Swanepoel het hierdie pragtige sandpaddatjie - Tremolo Sand Frog (Tomopterna Cryptotus) ingebring sodat ons fotos daarvan kon neem. Die outjie grawe homself agteruit in die sand in totdat net sy ogies uitsteek en dan sit hy en wag vir enige insek wat verbykom. Net groter as ’n R5 muntstuk of so groot soos ’n dosie vuurhoutjies is dit ’n pragtige diertjie. Andre Coetzee

Tourism should play broader role in Thaba Chweu
Ds. Venter lê tuig neer na 33 jaar T
haba Chweu needs to revive tourism road routes. At a recent plenary meeting, hosted by the Thaba Chweu municipality and facilitated by officials from Ehlanzeni, it was decided to revive the former Panorama route and to re-visit attractions and tourism products in our area. Chairperson Nathi Masango from Ehlanzeni, requested tourism role players in the broader Thaba Chweu area to put heads together and combine members of the local municipality, Chamber of Business and the communities to get a tourism route off the ground. Ms Lisa Sheard, Chairperson of the Tourism Committee of Kruger Lowveld/Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism, advised that a representative steering committee should be formed to conduct a proper audit of

O
m te sê dat ds. Lemmer Venter en sy vrou Altha diep spore in die gemeenskap van Lydenburg getrap het, beskryf net ’n druppel in die emmer wat hierdie predikantspaar oor 33 jaar vermag het. Ds. Venter is op 11 Maart 1978 in die Moedergemeente bevestig en het sy intreepreek op 12 Maart in 1978 gelewer. Daar is op luisteryke skaal afskeid geneem Sondag 30 Oktober 2011. Hy het vanaf die begin ’n passie vir die geskiedenis van die gemeente gehad en dit ook uitgeleef in die restourasie van die Voortrekkerkerkie- en skool asook die Sondagskoolsaal (1980). Onder leiding van ds. Venter het die kerkraad besef dat die kerk dringend gerestoureer moes word. As ’n Nasionale Gedenkwaardigheid moes alle herstelwerk volgens voorskrif en navorsing gedoen word. Die restourasie van die geboue het twee-en-’n-halfjaar geduur. Die kerk is op 6 September 1986 weer ingebruik geneem. Die restourasiekommissie was ds. Venter, H. Breytenbach, F. Nel, L. v.d. Ley, P. du Bruyn, dr. R. Greyling en dr. G. Trümpelmann. Een van die groot veranderinge was die orrel wat agter in die kerk herbou is. In 2000 het die gemeente hul 150ste Feesjaar herdenk. Essie Esterhuizen het die embleem ontwerp en ook tien waterverfskilderye van die embleem gemaak. Die Feeskomitee was H. Loots, L. Despland, E. Esterhuizen, P. Kruger, A. Treurnicht, ds. Venter, me. T. Weilbach, dr. J. Swanepoel, me. C Malan en G. Beetge. Deur die jare het die gemeente gegroei en vooruit geleef, kinders is gedoop, jongmense is aangeneem en begrafnisse was ook deel van die lewenssiklus. Die Venter gesin se kinders, Hendrik, Bennie en Christien het saam met hul ouers ’n onlosmaakbare deel van Lydenburg geword. Die Venter egpaar gaan nog nie weg uit Lydenburg nie, dus sal vriende hulle nog gereeld raakloop. Maar ’n welverdiende ruskans sal dit gewis wees. In die gedenkblad wat tydens die laaste erediens uitgedeel is het ds. Venter geskryf: “Bly by die waarheid van die Bybel en ons belydenisskrifte. Dit het die toets van baie eeue en baie geleerdes wat dit probeer verander het, deurstaan. Dien die Here met ongeveinsde opregtheid.”

Inwoner kwaad oor swak diens Anoniem van Lydenburg skryf: Ek het verskeie kere geskakel om te reël om my riool tenks te kom leegmaak, maar is elke keer vertel dat die voertuig onklaar is. Ek dink ek moet maar aansluit by die sisteem, ’n pomp koop en die riool in die rivier pomp aangesien alle dienste by Thaba Chweu tot stilstand gekom het. As daar enige beter voorstelle is, laat weet asseblief deur ons briewebus - Die Highlands Panorama. NB.
’n Naald in ‘n hooimied word gesoek. Ook ’n spikkel van stof op water. En jy soek definitief jou lottokaartjie wat die wennommers op het.En dit was my naweek. EK het gesoek. Dis nie baie geld nie, maar ek het gewen. En ek is immers ’n salaristrekker, ek soek geld. ’n Lotto Kaartjie is soos ’n tydbom in jou hand. Dit ontplof as die regte kode ingedruk word en maak jou baie gelukkig. Ek neem wenners glad nie kwalik dat hulle anoniem wil bly nie. Want as jy eers begin uitdeel sal daar niks oorwees nie. Bygesê dit hang natuurlik af van hoeveel jy wen. Wat is wen eintlik? Dalk net jou gelukkige dag? Die feit dat party met ‘quickpicks’ wen gaan my te bowe. Die media lok hul verbruikers om aan kompetisies deel te neem. Dit verskaf publisiteit aan besighede en produkte. Daar is tog ‘n gevestigde stel reëls wat die wenner bepaal. En as jy gelukkig is moet jy net die paragraaf bo die inskrywingsvorms mooi lees vir die antwoorde, - dis nou in koerante en tydskrifte. Maar met die lotto spoel ’n masjien net ’n klomp nommers uit en jou lewe verander onherroeplik. Jy het geen beheer oor die masjien nie. Die wen van ’n blokkiesraaisel maak ook vir my nogal sin. Dit is leidrade en antwoorde wat iewers wel bevestig kan word. Vir die afgelope 40 jaar vul my ma getrou elke week seker vier blokkiesraaie in. Tot heden en vandag het sy nog nooit iets gewen nie. Dis al ’n spottery in the familie want ’n woordeboek het sy al lankal nie meer nodig nie. Al die antwoorde is in haar hoof gestoor. Van haar kennisse bel haar vir antwoorde. En hulle wen die vakansies, mikrogolfoonde en nuwe woordeboeke, heel ironies. Mens mag nie dobbel nie, maar ek kies ook so nou en dan ’n paar nommers om my geluk te laat draai. Altans tot ek so R30 miljoen kan losslaan. Jip, ek sal kan doen met ‘n miljoen.
SPREUKE 11:24: Daar is een wat ruim uitdeel en nog meer kry, en een wat terughou, meer as wat reg is, maar tot sy gebrek. Ons Vader, seën dié wat mededeelsaam is - Amen.
DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR
Nafi E L K E j a a r g e d u r e nde November begin almal Nafi raak. Die ouens wat saam in die oorlog was, sal weet waarvoor nafi staan. Dit het iets te make met geen ambisie en nog minder belangstelling (interest). So ’n soort gatvolheid, moegheid, luiheid, lyfseer en algemene beneuktheid. Dit begin in November en bereik ’n hoogtepunt net voor die meeste mense in Desember met vakansie vertrek. H i e r b y m y g a a n dit ook so. Almal is moeg gewerk. Almal is moeg vir die ekonomie wat so sukkel. Almal werk hulle byna dood, maar dit lyk asof daar min resultate is.
Die ander klagtes wat ek het is te veel en ons lokale koerant is gans te klein om dit te hanteer en glo my nie eens ’n koerant soos die Sunday Times of Rapport sal voldoende wees nie. STAAN SAAM vir net ’n klein bietjie diens, want daar is niks diens nie, maar wel groot salarisse. Van ’n klaer wat nie ’n pyn in die g... wil wees nie. (Maar voel gedwonge).
Nog borge word bedank names Wenakker Neeltjé Brits skryf: Wenakker is steeds verstom oor die wonderlike bydraes wat deur individue en organisasies gemaak is ten bate van die Wenakker Gholfdag wat op 29 Oktober 2011 plaasgevind het. Ons wil graag net ’n regstelling maak. Die gelukkige gholfer wat die “hole in one” geslaan het is Mnr X de Wet (en nie Xander nie). Nogmaals geluk met dié uitsonderlike prestasie.
Daar is ook nòg borge wat ons graag wil bedank vir hulle vrygewige bydraes. D i t i s H y d r a H y d r a u l i c s , Ly d e n b u rg Meubelvervoer, Dubar Crushers en dr. G. de Kock. Dit is ons voorneme om hierdie gholfdag ’n jaarlikse instelling te maak en vra elkeen om dit by voorbaat op hulle kalenders vir 2012 aan te teken. Vir navrae, kontak Me Neeltjé Brits 0834568328.
Afskeid na 26 jaar by Rooikatte OCKIE Faul van Lydenburg skryf: Aan die Rooikat Rugbyklub se komitee, spelers, hulle vrouens, meisies en skelmpies. Dit was vir my en Tillie ’n besondere eer om die Rooikatte vir 26 jaar ononderbroke te dien. Gedurende hierdie tydperk het ek saam met die klub baie lief en leed deurgemaak. Ek kan goed onthou hoe die bankrekening gesluit was aangesien daar nie fondse was om die rekening te regverdig nie. Wie sal ooit vergeet dat ons na ’n sekere dag R25000 gemaak het, maar die gelde kon nêrens gewys word nie. Hoe ons gesukkel het om kop bo water te hou nie. Gelukkig deur al hierdie moelike omstandighede het die klub bly staan en is dit nou ’n finansieël gesonde klub. Gedurende my tyd het ons ook “legends” opgelewer. Vergun my asseblief die tyd om net'n paar van hulle te noem: Casper le Grange, Francios Potgieter, Piet Bank, Louis du Preez, Willem du Preez, die Snyders broers, Paul Mare, Johan Berrange, die Oosthuizens broers, Chris van Deventer, Piet du Plessis, Grobbie om maar net ’n paar te noem. Ek sal ook nooit vergeet van die onvergeetlike tye saam met die spanne wanneer ons weg speel en ’n vinnige braai op die berg hou nie. Ek wil graag alle vorige bestuurslede en spanne bedank wat dit vir my so lekker gemaak het om deel te kon gewees het van die Katte. Julle het my gehelp om besondere hoogtes te bereik deur op die bestuur van Laeveld te dien en Afrigter, Keurder en Spanbestuurder van Laeveld spanne te wees. Julle het my gehelp om op die hoogste bestuur van die Pumas te dien. Julle het my gehelp om die Amptelike Verteenwoordiger van die Unie vir die Plattelandsespanne en
I n t u s s e n h e t o n s met die nuwe somer donderweer, haelskade en dakke wat lek. B y m y g a a n d i t o ok so. Ek kry laaste salaris, want ek kom uit die ou skool - my mense moet eers betaal word en as daar oor is, kry ek. Omdat daar party maande min is, leer ek om spaarsamig te werk. Wa t v i r m y w e r k as ek nafi is, is bietjie “shopping”. Amper soos die meeste vrouens eenkeer per maand. Inkopies blyk ook daardie kwaaiheid op te los. S o , o m d a t e k e l k e sent omdraai totdat ek dit soos Braille kan lees, het ek bietjie gespaar. Toe bestel ek vir ons ’n weerstasie vir die kantoor (wat ek betaal) en vir my ’n Kindle. Dit is ’n ketoetertjie waarmee mens boeke lees. Intussen wag ek vir my Leserskring boeke. Met die Kindle gaan ek eBoeke koop en geld spaar. To e s p a t d i e m o e ilikheid letterlik. Ek sit met ’n geblokte rioolafvoerpyp. Almal
Vrouerugby te wees. Sulke dinge kan slegs bereik word deur te dien saam met ysters van ’n klub soos die Rooikatte. Baie dankie dat julle dit vir my moontlik gemaak het. Ek sal dit nooit vergeet nie. Om die klub te verlaat is vir my soos die dood van ’n familielid. Ek en Tillie sal hierdie klub nooit vergeet nie. Ons sal graag nog betrokke wil bly deur deel te wees van die verspreidingslys op die rekenaar. Ek sal graag nog my sub's wil betaal, sal wil betaal vir ’n nuwe trui en broek en deel te wees van 2012 se seisoen. Ek doen ’n beroep op die nuwe komitee om my deel te maak van julle. Geen mens kan 26 jaar net weggooi nie. Aan die nuwe komitee baie voorspoed vir die seisoen wat voorlê. Ek weet julle sal die span wees om mee rekening te hou in 2012. Ek weet julle gaan julle stemme dik maak. Wie sê ons gaan nie die seisoen wen nie. Baie geluk aan almal wat vereer is vir hul prestasies. Julle is nie gekies omdat die komitee van jou hou nie, maar omdat jy dit regtig verdien. Nogmaals geluk en onthou die uitdaging is om dit volgende seisoen weer te bereik. Maurice, aan jou besonder baie dankie. Ek kon en het baie van jou geleer. Die klub is in goeie hande met jou aan die betuur. Bou so voort jy is die yster van ysters saam met wie ek gedien het. Sal nooit jou warm maak dingetjie vergeet in die wintermaande nie. Laastens nooi ek enige van julle uit sou julle in of deur Richards Baai ry. My nommer en my epos adres is nog dieselfde. Ek sal julle graag wil ontvang en verdere bande smee. Onthou altyd: Ek is Lief vir julle. Die Here seën die klub en elkeen van julle.
spook, maar die blokkasie is na die munisipale kant toe. Daai rekening moet nog kom. En toe ons almal rondjaag en hardloop om die allervreeslikste stank uit te sorteer, breek my bakkie se deurhandvatsel. En dit is ’n Corsa wat so fensie is dat as jy wegstap, sluit hy homself en maak self sy eie vensters toe. Dis hoekom ek hom gekoop het - hy is grend. M a a r n o u m o e t e k links inklim en met my lyf oor die rathefboom klim voor ek kan ry. Onderdeel is bestel en intussen ingesit, maar daai rekening kom ook nog. E n d i e I s u z u s e elektriese ruite werk alweer nie! S a a m m e t a l d i e nafi en armoede sny ek sommer my polse! Kom vakansie kom!

Waarom is die Britse program Top Gear so suksesvol? DIE Top Gear TV “show” wat hier by ons op Woensdagaande op kanaal 120 om 20:00 gebeeldsend word, het die afgelope paar weke weer tot groot kontroversie gelei. Baie vroom mense kritiseer die drie aanbieders van rassisme en allerhande dinge. Feit is egter dat Topgear een van die mees gewilde TV reekse ooit is en ’n reuse aanhang het. Vergelyk dit bv. met ons eie Lat Wiel -- Gaap. Clarkson en sy makkers sê wat hulle wil en doen wat hulle wil. Hulle noem ’n alkant selfkant persoon ’n moffie, ’n Albaniër ’n rampokker en ’n Meksikaan lui. Met die eerste lewendige Top Gear vertoning in Suid Afrika, het Clarkson met ’n AK47 uit sy motor geklim, want hy het gehoor SA is ’n gewelddadige plek! Mooi man! Baie sensitiewe outjies het nie daarvan gehou nie. Waarom is hulle dan so geweldig populêr en so gehaat tegelykertyd? Dit is omdat hulle hoegenaamd nie polities korrek is nie. Hulle praat reguit en noem ’n “spade” ’n flippen graaf! Hulle sê wat die meeste van ons in elk geval diep binne dink, maar nie sê nie omdat ons samelewing ons geleer het dit is nie diplomaties of polities korrek nie. Of goeie maniere nie. Ons lewe in ’n valse samelewing waar ons iets voorgee wat ons nie is nie. Ons lewens is dikwels ’n leuen. Ek toets self motors en weerhou my van ernstige kritiek, want die motorhandelaars adverteer by my. So ek konsentreer nie soseer op foute nie, alhoewel ek kritiek lewer waar nodig. Soos ons hele etiek by die Highlands Panorama Nuus, konsentreer ons dan op ’n motor se goeie punte, eerder as die slegte. Ons behou egter die reg voor om tekortkominge te noem en die feit dat handelaars hulle motors aan ons toevertrou, getuig daarvan. Die geloofwaardigheid van ons toetsverslae word bewys deur mense wat skakel en ons opinie oor ’n bepaalde voertuig vra, wat ons dan eerlik gee. As jy net polities korrek rapporteer, gaan jy daardie geloofwaardigheid verloor. Vermaak is wat Top Gear so suksesvol maak. Dit is goeie pret met ’n angel in. Min van die voertuie wat hulle daar toets, is by ons beskikbaar en die gejaag en rokende bande sê nie veel oor die voertuie nie, behalwe dat hulle kan. So jy leer nie veel nie, maar jy geniet dit. Kyk gerus na die program, maar as jy polities korrek is, anders is, diplomaties is, ’n banggat is, kruiperig is, sensitief is, of bloot lafhartig is, is die program nie vir jou nie. Andre Coetzee.

New Yaris safest ever Toyota SA to compete in Dakar in 2012 TOYOTA's new Yaris has passed its Euro NCAP crash and safety testing with flying colours achieving a five-star rating. The third generation Yaris builds on its predeccors five star ratings first achieved by the orginal model in 2000. The first generation model was named the safest car in its class by Euro NCAP. Impact forces from either a front, rear or side collision are dispersed through strategically engineered elements within the body, to minimise deformation of the cabin. The new model features increased safety in side impacts by fitting bulkheads inside the rocker panels to help mitigate impacts. Additional protection is provided by side impact bars fitted in the doors. The new Yaris sports seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag. The driver and front passenger side airbags have a new twochamber design that improves protection with larger cushions. The front bumper contains energy absorbing materials to reduce the impact energy directed at a pedestrian’s legs, and a pantograph bonnet structure also absorbs energy to protect the head and body in a collision. There is a crushable cowl louvre at the rear edge of the bonnet. New Yaris will be offered with a host of further safety benefits, including ABS, EBD, corner stability control, brake assist, traction control and vehicle stability control. Wheels24.co.za
TOYOTA's South African 2012 Dakar team is heading for the high dunes of the Namib desert to put their Hilux double cabs through their paces. The team comprises of SA off road champion and winner of the 2009 Dakar Rally Giniel de Villiers and four times National champion Duncan Vos. De Villiers’ co-driver will be the experienced German Dirk von Zitzewitz, who has ridden alongside the South African in each of the last four Dakars and is a veteran of eight rallys. Vos will be accompanied by his regular National championship co-driver Rob Howie, who is also general manager of Toyota Motorsport. De Villierswill be competing in his 10th Dakar. Toyota Motorsport team principal Glyn Hall said: "The Morocco Rally was the first real test of our proudly South African Hilux and we’re delighted with its success in an event very similar to, but shorter than, the Dakar. “Since competing in the recent Human Auto 400 National championship off road race in Bloemfontein, we’ve been hard at it preparing them for the sand test. Giniel will go ahead to establish a suitable test route and we’ll get straight into the testing on November 3. We expect to be there for four days,” said Hall. “The test will not only prepare us for the sand and the high temperatures we expect in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but also provide invaluable training
and hands-on experience for Duncan and Rob. Dirk will join the team for the first time and work closely with Rob to share his wealth of knowledge to prepare him for his first Dakar," he added. “Our test schedule will include both performance and endurance testing and we’ll be checking 95% of the actual parts we will be using on the Dakar. We’ll also be doing heat testing, engine mapping in the dunes, suspension testing and evaluating our satellite communications and equipment that we will be using to keep the media back in South Africa informed of our progress throughout the 14 days of the race.” The Dakar Rally will start in the Argentine seaside resort of Mar del Plata and will finish almost 9000km later in the Peruvian capital, Lima, on January 15. There will be five racing special stages in Argentina, a crossing of the Andes Mountains, five stages in Chile including a crossing of the Atacama Desert before a rest day on January 8 in the Chilean town of Copiapo. For the first time in the Dakar's history the riders will compete in four stages and a ceremonial finish in Peru. Wheels24.co.za

Womens opinion of Clarkson Jeep’s Wrangler gets a makeover
SOME say he's the biggest loudmouth on the planet. Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson is either loved or hated. This is what women think: Some claim he's a former minor public schoolboy who never got over being rejected by Sandra Tomkins when he was 15. We only know he's the Clarkson Hubby. He was in the news again last week, and so we asked three experienced women to test drive him. This is what they found: PERFORMANCE: “Looks good on paper,” said one tester, “but really he's just all torque.” NOISE: A big drawback, said our reviewers. “In any situation,” said one, “there was this constant droning noise. It just didn't stop.” BODYWORK: “Having seen him on television, I was expecting something smarter,” said a tester. “A bit battered and worn, especially on top.” IMMOBILISER: Doesn't have one. “A big omission,” said all our testers. SEAT: No one could accuse the Clarkson Hubby of not being well-upholstered, but all of our reviewers said they found the seat far too large. BRAKES: The problem, said all of our test drivers, is not starting him, but stopping him. “You can press anything you like,” said one, “but nothing happens. He just goes on and on and on.” MIRRORS: “He couldn't ever pass one,” said our team. “Looking glasses, dark windows, even heavily lacquered vases. He just had to stop and admire himself.” AIR INTAKE: Large enough, our reviewers reported, but one found that, towards the end of the day, these were apt to become clogged with granular deposits. However, a good sneeze often cleared them. AIRBAGS: “This was one of the many problems,” said one reviewer. “You tried to stop him, and there was just this gigantic explosion of hot air. Maddening.” EMISSIONS: Constant - and very smoky. “Judging by the exhaust,” said one tester, “there's something very wrong here.” FLAPPY PADDLE: Far too small, and overly flappy, our test drivers found. “I couldn't do a thing with it. It was utterly useless.” STEERING: “You tried to keep him on the straight and narrow,” said a reviewer, “but he just kept on straying.” ROAD AND OTHER SENSE: We pitted him against a crash dummy in a series of tests. The dummy won. RELIABILITY: Now a relatively old model and prone to spluttering. Developed a cough after the mildest outing. The Independent on Sunday ED: Ha Ha, a man’s man!
THE Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models in Jeep’s South African line-up now have the run of a new 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine, an all-new interior for 2011 and a new body-coloured hardtop. Available in the Sahara configuration, the two-door Wrangler and four-door Wrangler Unlimited are affected. The two new models retain the brand’s go-anywhere philosophy with its removable doors and roofs, and folding windshields and thankfully signature features such as its round headlamps, a seven-slot front grille, trapezoid wheel arches and exposed door hinges remain. A highlight of the Sahara update is its redesigned instrument panel, which Jeep says provides improved ergonomics and is fitted with upgraded materials. The centre stack is new, too, and said to be easier to reach and operate. A multifunction steering wheel with satellite controls for the radio and cruise control is new, as is the automatic climate control and the addition of 12-volt outlets. Visibility is also improved through the larger rear window. The Wrangler Sahara comes standard with the Dual Top Group that includes a Sunrider soft top and the modular threepiece Freedom top for open-air driving. Seating four (Wrangler) or five (Wrangler Unlimited) occupants, the rear seats tumble forward to free up additional storage space. Big news, though, is the new 2.8-litre fourcylinder turbodiesel engine which now produces 147kW and 460Nm. It is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission to make city driving, where most Wranglers unfortunately spend their time, even more appealing. For more adventurous pursuits, the range-topping Sahara models are fitted with a Command-Trac part-time, two-speed transfer case. This engine runs on 500ppm diesel fuel and, according to Jeep, returns an average fuel consumption figure of 8.1 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions of 213g/km. Jeep Wrangler models come standard with ESC, electronic roll mitigation (ERM), all-speed traction control, tyre pressure monitoring (TPM), Brake Assist, Hill-start Assist (HSA) and Trailer-sway Control (TSC).

New Ford Ranger launched Do not overfill your car with oil THE year 2011 is an important one for bakkie buyers. Not only has Toyota released the new Hilux, but Ford’s new Ranger – that will also be locally produced – has now been launched in South Africa. According to Ford, the Ranger will be manufactured on three continents and sold to customers in 180 markets. The new range will introduce two new Duratorq TDCi turbodiesel engines and one Duratec petrol unit. Just as important is that payload capacity has gone up, and certain 4x2 models will be able to carry up to 1 200 kg. Depending on the model, certain bakkies will also be equipped with luxuries such as Bluetooth with voice control and a rear-view camera.

SOME faults are so obvious and easy to fix that they are just as easily overlooked. A chap with a well-maintained Ford Escort complained that while idling or when moving slowly in rush-hour traffic the engine revs would gradually increase, sometimes alarmingly to more than 4000 before returning to a steady idle. He had owned the car for only a few months and, apart from this fault, it ran well and burned no oil. There was occasional smoke at the exhaust, but he felt it was nothing to worry about. I had a look at the engine and it looked clean enough. Revving it showed no exhaust smoke and he assured me that the oil and filters had been recently changed and that the correct oil had been used. It was only when I went to check the oil level that I noticed the dipstick seemed to be too long for its tube. In fact, it was obviously not the right dipstick. When I pointed this out to the owner, he told me that he had done the oil change himself and had refilled with the recommended 4.5 litres and that the incorrect dipstick would not matter. Well, that’s all right in theory, but it is impossible to get all the oil from an engine by draining it. In fact, up to a litre could remain in the system. This is why to do a complete change a flush is sometimes necessary to get the remains of the old stuff out. The first move was to get the correct dipstick and check the level – which proved to be far too high. Why the wrong one had been used was anybody’s guess. However, with the oil drained to the correct level the auto-revving ceased and everybody was happy. Overfilling the sump need not have any disastrous consequences, but it does depend on by how much excess oil has been added. Oil pressure reading will give no clue because the pump’s pickup will be at the bottom of the sump. Oil pressure drops when there are excessive bearing clearances, or interior wear in the oil pump. But the pumps are designed to have sufficient reserve capacity to allow for normal wear. In the case of excessive overfilling, the webs on the crankshaft will be disturbing the oil at every revolution and this unwanted disturbance may cause oil contamination of the throttle housing and air mass meter. Such problems can be nasty, so be certain you do not overfill. iol.co.za - Pretoria News Motoring ED. I have often seen cars just out of dealer service, that has been overfilled, because the manual might say capacity 4.8 litres for the sump, and the technician pours in the entire 5 litres from a can. This can also lead to fouled PCV valves on older engines, or worse, oil blow-by past the rings, resulting in excessive smoke and carbonisation of the combustion chambers. On diesels injector leakage can lead to diesel entering the sump via the sleeves, resulting in rising oil levels. Watch out. On my Isuzu repeated readings are required. I pour in the first 3 litres of oil and thereafter by 100ml increments until the full mark on the dipstick. Start up, let idle and you have to add about 150ml more, due to the only partially filled filter.

New building regulations THE South African Building Industry has joined the Green Building club of the world. The National Building Regulations and standards Act is responsible for regulating the building industry. This Act and its regulation have, for the first time included a chapter that will ensure Sustainable buildings in South Africa for the future. The NRCS's building section has introduced into the National Building Regulations an additional chapter with the sole intention to deal with Sustainable Buildings. This additional chapter is called chapter X. The first regulation within this chapter is regulation XA and it introduces requirements for energy use in buildings. The first requirement of the regulation is set at a level, which has as its intention, to ensure better building practice. This level will be raised as the intention is to make the requirements more stringent as the industry and the public at large recognize the need for better building energy use. All buildings; for instance, will be required to be orientated facing north, the western walls shaded by screens, verandas or vegetation, the use of roof overhangs promoted to provide protection from harsh sunlight and heat gain in the summer and encouraging sun filled rooms during the winter months. Water heating can only be derived from using
non electrical elements and architectural professionals will be required to provide expertise to satisfy some of the more technical aspects of buildings. The second regulation XB, which is being developed at present, will provide requirements for Water Efficiency in buildings. The Sustainable building regulation is a mandatory requirement. The NRCS has worked with a technical advisory team and the SABS to also make sure that a SANS 10400 XA solution to the mandatory requirement was developed and is in place to provide a “deemed to satisfy” solution. The SANS 10400 XA which supplies one of three solutions to the regulation was published on 29 July 2011. The Regulation which makes all the Energy Efficient requirements mandatory was published in the Government gazette of 9 September 2011 under the notice of the DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY notice No.34586. The minister of the DTI indicated that such legislation will become effective from the 10th of November 2011. Supplied by Mr. Gideon Botes - Thaba Chweu Municipality The above regulations have a serious effect on the building of new homes. Readers are recommended to consult the Municipality before they even start having plans drawn up. ED.

ie Hervormde Kerk se Gholfdag was ’n fantastiese dag en die baan was vol met nie minder as 86 spelers nie. Dit is ’n baie goeie getal.
Elke speler het ’n heerlike bord potjiekos geniet (‘n groot dank aan Henry de Lange, Willem Ysselstein en hulle spanne). Baie dankie aan almal (sonder om name uit te sonder), al die borge,donateurs en elke helpende hand wat saamgewerk het..
Hervormde Kerk bied Gholfdag vol pret en hope talent aan
72 uur langs viswaters lok groot ‘visse’ en hengelaars Vanaf 25-27 November vind ’n 72 uur hengelliga plaas by die Belfastdam. Hengelaars gaan vir 72 uur sake uitspook en hul passie langs die viswaters uitleef. Kampareas sal afgebaken word en daar is voorskrifte vir wat daarin toegelaat word. Die formaat is hengelaars wat in spanne van twee deelneem, vier stokke per span word toegelaat met die nodige visvanggereedskap. Keurders gaan hul oog op hengelaars hou vir moontlike opname in die 2011 SAspan, en van die Mpumalangaspanne. Skole wat wil deelneem kan die organiseerder skakel.
