Lydenburg’s traffic cops out in full force
T
RAFFIC Officers in Thaba Chweu have been working in full force lately, to curb transgressions from errant drivers. While the Highlands Panorama News took pictures of these Officials working, a man actually overtook another vehicle, which had stopped at a stop sign and he was apprehended by Mr. Malcolm Capes. Such arrogant driver behaviour leads to the carnage on our roads. It was also good to see Mr. John Roos back on the job, in full uniform. The new uniforms of the traffic officials also look very professional. Two issues that the Highlands Panorama News and John Roos quickly discussed were the improvement of road markings at the big robot crossing next to the subway, where motorists from outside town often miss the “Turn Right” lines, causing havoc for motorists that get stuck behind them. If there is someone able to donate road paint for this specific purpose, please talk to these officials. The other issue is the lack of a yield sign for motorists turning left from Viljoen street at the Spur. The stop sign only, without a yield for left turning, leads to trucks that needs to turn left, stopping and then having difficulty in getting going again, against the incline. We urge our motorists to refrain from using cellular phones while driving and to please come to a full stop at stop signs. Abide by the law and support your local cops! ~ Andre Coetzee
O N W E T T I G E besoedelaar helder oordag op heterdaad betrap. ’n Wakker leser het verlede week helder oordag gesien hoe ry ’n man met ’n wit bakkie ( o n s h e t d i e registrasienommer) met ’n groen tenk op, na die area onderkant Jocks Country Stalls, waar hy rou riool gestort het. Dit volg nadat diesel besoedelde grond onlangs deur ’n ander operateur (ook bekend) daar gestort is. Sulke verregaande en arrogante optrede behoort deur die relevante owerhede vervolg te word. Sies man! Wat ons hier by die koerant verbaas, is die absolute verwaandheid, of is dit bloot onnoselheid van die persoon, om te dink dat niemand dit sal agterkom, of fotos daarvan sal neem nie.

KSPERIMENTELE brand sorg amper vir drama. Op Dinsdag 12 Junie is daar voorbrande en navorsingsbrandblokke voorberei in die Gustav Klingbiel Natuurreservaat naby
Lydenburg. Ongeveer half twee het die vuur berg op weggehol, wat moeilik is om te bestry. Hulp is ingeroep en ’n helikopter en verkenningsvliegtuig van Integrated Fire
John Mohlala, Themba Msimba, Senior Natuurbewaarder en Frik Rousseau, Hoof Natuurbewaarder van die visserye by die gekonfiskeerde visstokke en nette.
Visstokke en nette word gekonfiskeer In ’n kort tydperk is daar by Kwena Dam 60 visstokke gekonfiskeer. Die hengellaars van die betrokke visstokke kon geen hengellisensies toon nie. Verskeie onwettige nette waarmee vis genet word is ook uit die dam verwyder. Wetstoepassing by Kwena Dam is baie goed en die publiek word asseblief versoek om die nodige lisensies uit te neem. Hengellisensies is onder andere by die visserye te koop.

Management Services (IFMS) het kom help. Sterkspruit Natuurreservaat se Working on Fire span het ook ingespring met hulp. Die vuur is half ses die middag geblus. Sowat twee tot drie hektaar het afgebrand. Geen diere het omgekom nie. Volgens Mnr JP Cellliers, Kurator van die Lydenburg Museum, gaan mense in die volgende week of twee sien dat daar brande gaan wees in die reservaat. Hierdie brande is deel van IFMS se navorsingsbrande en word ten volle beheer deur spanne op die grond, sowel as in die lug. Volgens hom gaan dit mettertyd vir hulle baie goeie data gee, wat gebruik kan word om die veld optimaal te bestuur. Die waarnemende leier van die Vryheidsfront Plus van Lydenburg, Ellie Jansen van Rensburg het
03
haar dank uitgespreek teenoor almal wat betrokke was om die vuur so gou te blus. In 'n veel groter brand twee weke gelede, was drie helikopters, 'n verkenningsvliegtuig en grondspanne van oor die hele laeveld, insluitend Working On Fire, in 'n reuse poging betrokke om 'n brand langs die berg naby die staircase op die Longtompas te baklei. Die publiek word gevra om nie sigaretstompies uit voertuie te gooi en vuurtjies om hulle warm te hou langs die pad, te maak nie. Moet ook nie bottels uitgooi nie. Hulle breek en wanneer die son die stukke glas op ’n sekere hoek tref, konsentreet die glas die son op droë gras en veroorsaak 'n brand. Frik Rousseau, JP Celliers en Andre Coetzee

O
m elke hoek en draai is daar 'n genies en geproes. Dis seker heel logies want die koue maande is hier. Een ding van griep en verkoue verstaan ek glad nie. Hoekom is net een neusgat op 'n slag toe? Of altwee is saam oop maar nooit altwee saam toe nie. Griep is iets wat min mense kan vryspring. Of jy nou die griepinspuiting kry óf nie! Dit kom saam met die min energie wat mens in die wintermaande het. Mens kry sommer maklik koud en kruip al vroegaand tussen die lakens in, of sit sommer bo-op die verwarmer. In die winter is mens ook heeltyd honger. Jy vergryp jou aan alles wat voorkom al besef jy die somer wys nie genade vir potjierolle nie. In die winter moet jy begroot vir jou gewig in die somer. Hoe kan jy dan anders as gewig aansit met borde gekookte kos waarna jy net jou vingers kan aflek. Beesstert, soet patats, gestowe perskes, koring, bruin gebraaide aartappels, ’n vars tuinslaai en malva poeding vir nagereg. Met permissie: "Jy dink jy is in die hemel.” In die winter sukkel ek om op te staan vir werk, dis dan nog donker buite en die bed is warm. Dis moeilik. En ek sukkel om saans wakker te bly, dis makliker om voor die televisie aan die slaap te raak na aandete. In die koue soek ek ’n boek, ’n kol in die son en my Eiderdown (gansveer)-kombers. Tog het ’n wintersdag weer ’n ander soort bekoring. Die son wat op jou neerbak sonder om te brand, dis net warm. Party is somermense en ander is wintermense. My filosofie is dat ek myself kan warm aantrek maar in die somer kan mens nie heeldag in ’n swembad sit nie. Daarom is ek definitief ’n wintermens. Hoorhierso, geniet maar die gesellige kaggelvuur-aande.
Woensdag 6 Junie om 11:00 was my skoonpa, mnr. Gideon Cross, se begrafnis. Ek bel en reël met ’n amptenaar by Thaba Chweu (die naam is aan my bekend) om vir ons te reël vir die verkeersmanne op die nodige dienspunte. Nodeloos om te sê: Ons wag nou nog vir hulle! Ons wou reël vir privaat verkeerbeheer maar dit is blykbaar ontoelaatbaar! Die
publiek het ook geen respek meer vir mense in ’n stoet nie, hulle jaag voor jou in net waar hulle kan (partykeer is mens seker haastig en die stoet lank, maar waar is ons maniere en respek vir die dood heen? Vir mense wat in die nabye toekoms ’n begrafnis moet reël, dalk moet julle iets op skrif kry van die verkeersdepartement dat hulle wel sal opdaag, dit maak die verloop van die stoet net soveel makliker.

In die hartjie van die winter sien mens nie dat die koue oorwinlik is nie. Die somer kom sonder nies en proes met vrugteslaai en son.
Uit die Woord From the Word SPREUKE 30:33 As jy melk karring, kom daar botter; as jy iemand op die neus slaan, kom daar bloed uit; as jy mense kwaad maak, kom daar rusie. Vader, help ons om so te werk dat mense nie kwaad word nie - Amen.
DIE OUTOPPIE SE KOMMENTAAR
Munisipale dienste VERLEDE week se vergadering oor die munisipale begroting het ’n hele paar dinge uitgewys. Die mense is kwaad. Maar in plaas van toi-toi, brand en verwoes, het dié mense die stadsraad se bestuur direk aangevat. Geen doekies is omgedraai nie. Toe die een ou sy mond oopmaak en van rassisme praat,
Andre en Elmarike Esterhuizen is op 5 Mei getroud te Dunkeld Country Estate in Dullstroom. Veels geluk aan hierdie egpaar.
is hy sonder seremonie gou stilgemaak. Dit gaan nie oor politiek deur ’n klomp moerige wit ouens nie. Dit gaan oor onbevoegdheid, korrupsie en wat daarmee gepaard gaan. Sewentig persent van beoogde nuwe elektrisiteit vir ’n ontwikkelaar en net 30% vir die dorp? Dit gaan oor swak dienste, geen instandhouding en vet salarisse vir mense wat totaal niks beteken nie. Onder die tafel kontrakte. Dit gaan oor leuens en woordspeling om mense te paai. Persoonlik het ek die vergadering geweldig geniet. Nog meer omdat dit
nie net wit “boere” was wat die moer in is nie. Lede uit die Indiër gemeenskap het opgestaan en kwaai gepraat. Ja, saam met sulke mense sien ek ’n goeie toekoms. Die munisipaliteit het die tipiese ANC houding van onaantasbaarheid geopenbaar, maar in die proses ’n klein mistykfoutjie gemaak. Ons mense sal nie raas en brand nie. Hulle sal hierdie onbevoegde amptenary fisies verwyder, as dit moet. En geen pallisade heining gaan ’n Toyota bakkie met ’n osketting keer nie. Mense sien as hulle belieg word en hulle is nou gatvol. Veertig persent van dié reuse begroting vir salarisse en 3% vir instandhouding! Nee, genoeg is genoeg! Dit moet nou stop.

’n Groot spanpoging het daartoe meegebring dat Lelievlei kan spog met ’n opgegradeerde ‘warmwaterverhitter’ of te wel ‘boiler’. ’n Paar maande gelede het mnr. Hans Maliepaard (kampbestuurder van L e l i e v l e i ) a a n m n r. Gerhard Potgieter (bekende Lydenburger) gesê dat die ‘boiler’ se herstel die belangrikste tans by Lelievlei is. Mnr. Potgieter het die wiel aan die rol gesit en vinnig het mnr. Jaco Calitz van A.A.

Sabie Museum en klei-speel vir Strelitzia VLU-tak
Die dames van die Strelitzia Tak het Saterdag 16 Junie op Sabie by Sarel en Lieze Loots se winkel Ghoeks Africa gaan kuier. Die besigheid maak filoklei artikels. Dit word uitgevoer na Duitsland en word ook in die winkel verkoop. Die VLU-lede het elkeen haar eie suikerlepel, potlood en glasbakkie versier met filoklei, waarna dit gebak was. Die dames het dit baie interessant gevind en ontspan terwyl hulle heerlik met die filoklei gespeel het. Sarel Loots besit ook Sabie Museum wat aan die winkel grens. Daar is interessante oudhede wat uitgestal word vol herinneringe vanmelee. Die dames het lekker gesels oor oudhede wat hulle van kan onthou wat in hulle oumas en ma's se huise was. As daar enige iemand is wat oudhede het wat hulle wil skenk vir Sarel se museum kan hy gekontak word by 013 764 2123 of 083 600 9863.
More SA birds in the red B
irdLife International has announced the 2012 update of the IUCN Red List for birds. This is the first update since the 2008 Threatened Birds of the World, a comprehensive assessment of the status of the world's birds. Of the 10 064 bird species recognised by BirdLife International, the status / categories of 208 have changed. Approximately 13% of the world's birds are now listed as threatened (Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable) as compared to 12% in 2008. Another 880 (almost 9%) have been classified as Near-Threatened in 2012. It is concerning that of the 208 category changes in 2012, only two changes were improvements (downlisted); whereas 180 were deteriorations (uplisted). Twenty-five changes resulted from taxonomic revisions and 63 were a result of improved knowledge of the species' status, population numbers or threats faced by the species. The status of three bird species in South Africa has deteriorated, and they were therefore uplisted. White-backed Vulture Gyps africanus, the most widespread and common vulture in Africa, has been uplisted by two categories: from NearThreatened to Endangered. It occurs from Senegal, Gambia and Mali in the west, throughout the Sahel region to Ethiopia and Somalia in the east, through East Africa into Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa in the south.
The species is currently undergoing a rapid decline in population numbers and faces similar threats to all the other African vultures. In East Africa, White-backed Vultures are primarily threatened by poisoning (particularly from the highly toxic pesticide carbofuran); whereas in southern Africa they are utilised for the muti trade (as they are perceived to have medicinal and psychological benefits); and the decline and possible extirpation in West Africa has been attributed to the trade in vulture parts for traditional 'juju' practices. Other threats include the loss or reduced availability of carrion, electrocution by powerlines and poisoning. Another vulture species, Rüppell's Vulture Gyps rueppellii, a vagrant to South Africa, has similarly been uplisted from NearThreatened to Endangered. This species, which is native to western, central and eastern Africa, faces a suite of similar threats to the White-backed Vulture. The second species, Grey Crowned Crane Balearica regulorum, has been uplisted from Vulnerable to Endangered, resulting in a single category change. This species' survival is largely threatened by habitat loss and the illegal trade of birds and eggs from the wild which has driven an especially rapid decline during the past three generations (45 years). The species occurs in eastern and southern Africa with two subspecies confined to the different geographical regions. Electrocutions and collisions with overhead

powerlines are largely responsible for the highest mortality of this species in South Africa, Uganda and Tanzania. An increase in coal mining, with the resultant negative impact on our wetlands, poses a major threat of habitat loss and degradation to the Grey Crowned Crane in South Africa. The third species, Crowned Eagle Stephanoaetus coronatus, a widespread species in sub-Saharan Africa, has been globally uplisted from Least Concern to Near-Threatened. This species is undergoing a decline due to a number of threats, including deforestation across the African continent. Both White-backed Vulture and Grey Crowned Crane are listed as Vulnerable in The Eskom Red Data Book of Birds of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland (Barnes 2000). Crowned Eagle has a parallel regional and global status of NearThreatened. The revision of the regional Red Data Book is currently being undertaken under the auspices of BirdLife South Africa with funding from Eskom. The completion of the publication is scheduled for early-2013. Fifteen percent of South Africa's 844 bird species are currently red-listed in our regional Red Data Book.

CMR vra ’n stoof DIE CMR Lydenburg, ’n onafhanklike welsynsorganisasie, is afhanklik van skenkings en donasies. Hulle voorsien tans aan 50 behoeftige gesinne kospakkies op ’n weeklikse basis. Die CMR Lydenburg het ’n groot behoefte aan ’n stoof. Hierdie stoof gaan hulle in staat stel om veral gedurende die koue wintersdae sop met broodjies en ander eenskottelgeregte te maak, wat voedsaam is en aan behoeftiges gegee kan word.

Good tyre advice from HI-Q Biker blames dead horse for speeding RESEARCH shows damaged tyres are one of the main factors that contribute to accidents in SA. According to research damaged and badly maintained tyres are the most common among widespread factors that contribute to accidents in South Africa. Tyres are undoubtedly the most critical safety component on a vehicle as it affects traction, handling, steering, stability and braking. According to the research South Africa displays trends similar to those of developing countries. This implies that an increase in the number of vehicles on the road has contributed to an increase in the number of road traffic fatalities. As countless families across SA prepare to depart for their holiday destination, it is a worrying fact that many will do so without taking the time to check the health of their tyres.“Drivers often forget that only correctly inflated tyres can do their job properly, delivering the right level of handling performance. HI-Q’s comprehensive tyre tests show that under- and also over-inflation can have a significant impact on the car's overall driving behaviour and its stopping distance. Drivers frequently make one of three classical mistakes: either they don't check their tyre pressure before departure, or alternatively, they check the pressure when the tyre is warm, which results in incorrect readings, or they put it at a level that does not take into account the weight of the car - empty or fully loaded, it makes a difference,“ explains Bertie Strydom of Hi Q Lydenburg. Properly inflated tyres are necessary to keep the vehicle's handling performance at optimal levels, especially its cornering and braking abilities. Many problems start with a gradual and unnoticed loss of inflation pressure. “When a tyre is under-inflated, the car's weight is concentrated on the outside part of the tyre tread, increasing pressure on the tyre's sidewalls (the tyres' shoulders as we call them), rather than being spread out evenly across the width of the tyre. This means that as the tyre rolls, the sidewall heats up more than it should. Under-inflation means less evenly distributed pressure on the road. It also reduces the tread area that is in direct contact with the road. These effects reduce the tyres' grip and especially in combination with a heavily loaded car, can have a significantly impact on the car's driving behaviour. Stopping distances become longer and cornering abilities can become sloppier and less direct. Don't kick your tyres – check them properly Tyres may loose up to 0.2 bar air pressure in a three-month time period, solely as a result of the everyday diffusion processes. Too many drivers make the mistake of thinking that a kick to their tyres or a visual check will tell them if their tyre pressure is correct. Most drivers simply don't check their tyre pressure often enough. Apart from checking for under- or over-inflation, drivers should also make sure they don't set off on tyres that are in bad condition. Check your tyres' tread wear before you depart. Is it still of sufficient depth? This is particular important for the car's performance on wet roads. Is the tread worn evenly? Also check the tyre's sidewalls for any damage. Going on holiday usually means the entire family and a whole lot of luggage is piled into the car. Not only does a heavy load make the car more difficult to manoeuvre. A heavy load or towing a caravan or trailer puts extra strain on the vehicle and tyres. If the vehicle is fully loaded the tyre pressure must be increased according to the car's manual. Under-inflated and over-inflated tyres don't use the full tread area equally. Under-inflation leads to increased tread wear of the outside area of the tyre's tread while over-inflation increases the tread wear of the inside area. Both have an effect on the tyre's mileage. Underinflated tyres also need more energy to roll smoothly. The vehicle's fuel efficiency decreases and motorists get less kilometers for every liter of fuel. Pothole damage is usually confined to tyres, rims, steering and suspension. If you hit a pothole and afterwards you notice a vibration, the steering wheel doesn't centre properly or it pulls to one side, get the car checked immediately. Also check your tyres as damage may not be immediately obvious. Watch for the development of bulges on the tyre sidewalls, indicating serious internal damage. In this case, change the tyre immediately. Be on your guard for potholes, but don't suddenly swerve to avoid them, potentially causing you to loose control. Free Vehicle Safety Checks Countrywide: According to Goodyear, motorists should have their vehicles and tyres inspected at professional tyre and service outlets. Hi-Q offers a free 10-point safety check on vehicles. This entails checking all four tyres plus the spare for tread depth and pressure, the front and rear shock absorbers, the brake pads, discs and fluid, as well as the battery, exhaust and wiper blades.

A BIKER arrested last week for speeding on the R21 claimed he was on his way to comfort his girlfriend after her horse died.
Gauteng traffic police high-speed unit spokeswoman Bushapi Nxumalu said: “The 21-year-old apprentice electrician from Pretoria was travelling with his silver Honda VFR at an average speed of 208km/h in a 120km/h zone when we caught him.” The electrician claimed his girlfriend's horse had died and he was on his way to Pretoria to support her. He would face charges of reckless or negligent driving with an alternative charge of exceeding the speed limit. He was expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Wednesday. “An inquiry will be done in order to determine suspension of his driving licence.” - Sapa / IOLmotoring ED: Yep, a man’s girlfriend is a man’s girlfriend!

New study shows diesel may cause cancer DIESEL engine exhaust fumes can cause cancer in humans and belong in the same potentially deadly category as asbestos, arsenic and mustard gas. The France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organisation, in an announcement that caused consternation among car and truck makers, reclassified diesel exhausts from its group 2A of probable carcinogens to its group 1 of substances that have definite links to cancer. The experts, who said their decision was unanimous and based on “compelling” scientific evidence, urged people across the world to reduce exposure to diesel fumes as much as possible. The agency said: “The working group found that diesel exhaust is a cause of lung cancer and also noted a positive association with an increased risk of bladder cancer.” The decision was a result of a week-long meeting of independent experts who assessed the latest scientific evidence on the cancer-causing potential of diesel and petrol exhausts. It puts diesel fumes in the same risk category as toxic substances such as asbestos, arsenic, mustard gas, alcohol and tobacco. Christopher Portier, chairman of the IARC working group, said the group's conclusion “was unanimous, that diesel engine exhaust causes lung cancer in humans”. “Given the additional health impacts from diesel particulates, exposure to this mixture of chemicals should be reduced worldwide,” he said.

engines and emissions control systems, are near zero emissions for nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulate matter,” he said. A spokeswoman for the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association said she was surprised by the move and the industry would “have to study the findings in all their details”. Sigrid de Vries said: “These technologies have been developed to address precisely these concerns.” “The latest diesel technology is really very clean.” After the IARC report was issued, General Motors said: “ W e w i l l continue with our plans to introduce new fuel saving technologies and engines that r u n o n alternative fuels, including diesel.” GM said diesel engines being made today have lower sulfur content and emit much less particulate matter than engines from a few years ago.
The IARC said it had considered recent advances in technology which had cut levels of particulates and chemicals in exhaust fumes, particularly in developed economies, but said it was not yet clear how these might translate into health effects. “Research into this question is needed,” it said. “In addition, existing fuels and vehicles without these modifications will take many years to be Diesel cars are popular in western Europe, where tax advantages have replaced, particularly in less developed countries, where regulatory measures encouraged technological advances and a boom in demand. Outside of Europe are currently also less stringent.” and India, diesel engines are almost entirely confined to commercial vehicles. It said petrol exhaust fumes should be classified as “probably carcinogenic to German carmakers are trying to raise awareness of diesels in the United States, humans”, a finding that was unchanged from its previous assessment in 1989. where the long distances travelled on highways suit diesel engines. Reuters / IOLmotoring The IARC noted that large populations all over the world are exposed to diesel exhaust in everyday life, whether through their jobs or in ambient air. “People are exposed not only to motor vehicle exhausts but also to exhausts from other diesel engines, such as diesel trains and ships, and from power generators,” it said. IARC director Christopher Wild said that, against this background, this conclusion “sends a strong signal that public health action is warranted”. “This emphasis is needed globally, including among the more vulnerable populations in developing countries, where new technology and protective measures may otherwise take many years to be adopted,” he added. For about 20 years, diesel engine exhaust was defined by the IARC as probably carcinogenic to humans group 2A - but an IARC advisory group has repeatedly recommended diesel engine exhaust as a high priority for reevaluation since 1998. The global auto industry had argued diesel fumes should be given a less high-risk rating to reflect tighter emissions standards. Reacting to the decision, Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Washington-based Diesel Technology Forum said diesel engine and equipment makers, fuel refiners and emissions control technology makers have invested billions of dollars in research into technologies and strategies to reduce emissions. “New technology diesel engines, which use ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel, advanced

Beware of those balloon payments WANT a car you can’t really afford? The motor finance industry has just the thing - a balloon payment. So, instead of spreading your instalments over your finance period - five years, say - you defer some of that lump sum to the end of your finance period. This allows you to pay a much lower instalment during those five years, while driving a car you wouldn’t otherwise afford. But then you face a lump sum “balloon” payment after those 60 months, which you must either refinance - paying yet more interest and fees - or pay in a lump sum, which for most people means selling the car.

Mooi bakkie! HIERDIE besondere mooi Toyota Hilux uit die laat negentigs behoort aan Desmond Clayton. Met behoorlike wiele en spesiale verfwerk is dit een van die mooistes wat ons nog gesien het. Dit spog ook met ’n 302 (Windsor) Ford V8 enjin. Clayton ry baie in Mosambiek en wou nie gaan vir die ingewikkelde, rekenaarbeheerde Lexus V8 nie. Die Ford is groter (5-liter) en instandhouding is makliker. Onthou om u besondere voertuig vir ons te kom wys by die Highlands Panorama Nuus. Andre Coetzee.
It’s a hefty price to pay for keeping up appearances. For many in a balloon finance deal, the final payment comes as a nasty shock. Finance agreements reveal what is termed a “final payment” due after 60 months, but in most cases this information does not leap out of the page in large print, and consumers being notoriously disinclined to bother themselves with a contract’s small print, it’s not inconceivable for someone to miss it. Especially if the finance consultant in the dealership glossed over the balloon bit, and the buyer was too entranced by the new wheels to pay much attention or ask too many questions beyond the immediate monthly instalment due. Almost every advert for new cars mentions a balloon payment, as required by the National Credit Act. A year ago, WesBank issued a statement saying that the number of South Africans opting for balloon payments when financing their vehicles had dropped from 22 percent in July 2007 to just 9.5 percent in June 2011.
Chill on your car payment’s when you buy a new Cerato or Cerato Koup in the month of June and only start paying at the begining of October 2012.
Based on MFC calculation of 35% Residual - R66 149. monthly payment - 72 months, No Deposito, Retail price R188 995, bank admin included, VAT incl.
The number increased to 11 percent in April this year, WesBank said, but the average balloon amount had dropped slightly from 16.6 percent of the cash price to 16.4 percent. The percentage of balloon deals is about 12 percent with Standard Bank, and 13 percent with Absa. In the case of Nedbank’s vehicle financing division, MFC, that figure is somewhat higher. About 20 percent of all cars financed so far this year have balloon payments.
Terms and Conditions apply
It’s a risky deal, given that a lot can happen in five years. You could well find yourself unable to refinance the balloon amount because of a bad credit record, being retrenched or whatever reason and be forced to sell your car to pay the amount, after which you will not even have a trade in or sale deposit. Rather settle for a less flashy car that you can afford to pay off every month, without deferring the payment pain. - Wendy Knowler / The Star / iolmotoring.

New engine invented DIESEL engines are more fuel-efficient than petrol engines. But diesel, as a fuel, leaves much to be desired; it requires humungous compression to start the combustion process, which means the engines that burn it have to be that much sturdier (read heavy and expensive to build). They're noisy and smelly. Both vegetable and fossil-based diesel fuels produce some nasty by-products - including solid particles - and their calorific value is low by spark-ignition standards so, unless you turbo the hell out of them (more weight, more expense) they just can't cut it in the real world of passenger cars.
can be made lighter and cheaper. But, and this is a big but, you need a lot more of them. Their specific fuel consumption is higher, unacceptably so by today's eco-conscious standards. The trouble is that you can't just up the compression ratio of a petrol engine until the heat caused by squashing the fuel / air mixture between the piston and the cylinder head initiates combustion - what you get is detonation, which is as destructive to engines as it is to tall buildings. Or do you? Something has changed in the last few years. Up till now sparkignition engines have been fed with a 14:1 mixture of air and atomised fuel particles, but with the advent of high-pressure piezo-electric fuel-injectors, it's now possible to spray petrol (or methanol or ethanol) directly into the combustion chamber in a sequence of carefully-regulated micro-squirts,
Spark-ignition fuels, especially vegetable-based fuels such as methanol and ethanol, burn way cleaner than diesel fuels, produce more power for a given engine size, while causing less internal stress to said engine, so they
The special injector described in this article starting with a tiny one, which, if it detonates, won't do any damage. Then, when the rest of the fuel is sprayed into the cylinder, there is already a flame front in place and you shouldn't get any detonation. It's a grand theory, but it's not a theory any more. Harry Husted, the chief engineer at US technology company Delphi, has built a single-cylinder four-stroke compression-ignition engine that runs on petrol, using very sophisticated valve technology and multi-squirt fuel-injection timing.
Simon Du Toit Str, Burgersfort Tel: 013 231 7000 / 7201 / 7463
And he's working on a multi-cylinder engine using the same hardware which is not as simple as it sounds. But, he says, computer simulations show that the potential is astonishing. He told Auto Express: “The results of initial simulation work show this technology could improve engine efficiency by up to 50 per cent.” To put that into perspective, an 1800cc, four-cylinder compressionignition petrol engine would make more power than a 1.8 Toyota Prius, using less fuel and without the extra weight (and cost) of electric motors and batteries. According to Husted: “A multi-cylinder engine is being developed and will be ready to test later this year. It's going to be a very torquey engine, with a similar feel to a diesel.”

Now that doesn't surprise anybody; it will have all the features we like about diesels, while running on clean-burning volatile fuels rather than oil-based diesel fuels. Which means it won't need a particulate filter either, which should endear it to the car companies. Husted reckons the new engine could be in production and in showrooms by 2020. IOLmotoring.

Me. Santa Botha van Lydenburg se inskrywing van hul eie duifies.
Charmaine Pieterse entered this photo of their son fishing on the rocks Scottburgh Kwazulu natal in June 2011. It is an entry for the Highlands Panorama News Photo of the Month
Ina Duvenhage van Lydenburg was in Desember verlede jaar by 'n Lodge naby Hoedspruit en terwyl hulle die oggend op 'n wandeling was, het hulle op die slang afgekom wat op 'n tak gelĂŞ het. Mnr Neels Bothma het dit intussen as 'n onvolwasse boomslang ge-identifiseer.

Francois Jordaan writes: The 2012 RFS Bike Econorun will again start from the RFS (Retirement Fund Solutions) HQ in Montana Pretoria and finish at friend Fick's happy Hotel Numbi in Hazyview in Mpumalanga. On Thursday afternoon 16 August the initial refuel will take place and the bikes placed in the overnight holding area, called Park Ferme at RFS HQ. There will be accommodation available nearby with transport provided, and a dinner on Thursday evening compliments of the RFS crew. On Friday morning 17 August they will provide a breakfast for all and then the first bike will start at 08h01 and the rest at one minute intervals. This year the route is planned to follow good tar roads to the north (quite a challenge I must say) and end some 650 km later at Hotel Numbi from where a 400 km circle route is planned for Saturday 19th on the best roads that ET can provide. As usual some will again refer to the event as the “Econorace” but rest assured we will obey all traffic rules while you will be kept very busy trying to figure out where the catch will be. The roads and route will be a test for riding skills and preserving fuel, while staying on route and not be caught with penalties for arriving late at controls. The overall winner will of course be the one that uses the least fuel, but everybody else can win a class. As last year, all class winners, runner up and third placed competitors will be in contention for the cash awards, so anyone competing in the eleven different classes stand a chance to be a winner. The good news is that we will be able to keep the entry fee very close to last year despite the sharp increase in the fuel price as RFS decided to subsidise this increase !! Friend Fick has also come to the party and kept his increase in accommodation costs to the minimum. The costs should be around (bar tab excluded) R2700 which includes the entry fee, all fuel after the initial fill up, all meals from Thursday evening up to Sunday morning, competition license from MSA, and the assurance that Doc Heine and the White toolbox brigade will look after you in the event of a little slip on the road. As always we will endeavor to keep costs to the minimum, but we must carry the costs of 40 (yes ) officials, marshals etc, around twelve four wheel vehicles, the route survey and checks, accommodation for all the above and a small fee to the PMC to keep the club going, so we may enjoy all these privileges. We will also again identify a charity to support and will keep you posted on this if you choose to assist in this serious matter.
