Four arrested for liquor and drug crimes L

YDENBURG police arrested four suspects for various liquor and or drug related crimes over the weekend.

Two men were arrested for possession of drugs – one in Kantoor street and the other in Skhila. One person was also arrested in Voortrekker street after counterfeit cigarettes were found in his possession.

Two people were arrested over the weekend for driving under the influence of alcohol and another two for drinking in public.

The public are once again being warned not to drive whilst under the influence of liquor and to refrain from drinking in public. SAPS Lydenburg will no longer tolerate any abuse of alcohol or any other illegal substances in Lydenburg, as in most cases these addictions are the biggest contributors to domestic violence, sexual abuse and assaults cases.

Tavern owners should also comply with the Liquor Act at all times and they must ensure that they close at the prescribed times as indicated on the Liquor licences.

The Management of SAPS Lydenburg will have a Zero Tolerance approach to drunk driving. Statistics show an increase in liquor related accidents in and around Lydenburg.

A Zero Tolerance approach will also

be applicable to all premises selling / serving liquor as an alarming number of cases reported to the SAPS are liquor related. Liquor outlets should close at the correct time as indicated on their licences.

The community, especially women, are also being cautioned not to walk alone in the dark after visiting taverns.

Many rape cases and domestic violence cases reported to the SAPS are happening after taverns are visited by either the victim or the suspect.

If you want to consume liquor, rather do it in the safety of your own home where your safety is not at risk and where your actions cannot harm innocent people.

Veels geluk aan Ouma Kelly (middel) van die Rusoord Tehuis vir Bejaardes. Sy het onlangs 103 jaar gevier.

Lydenburg SAPS issues safety tips The community of Lydenburg and surrounding areas are warned to always be alert and observe the following safety tips: To always close windows and lock doors whenever they leave their houses or go to sleep. Before you hire someone (e.g. a gardener) you must first screen the person, so that you know the person's residential address and other important information. Refrain from hanging car and house keys on the kitchen wall, because housebreakers find it easy to access a lot of things (including vehicles) should they manage to enter the house.

Avoid leaving house keys under the door mat or under stones near the door. Activate the alarm system whenever you leave the house or go to sleep. Report suspicious people in your neighbourhood, your neighbour's yard or house.

Crime prevention hints for theft out of motor vehicles Lock your vehicle and make sure that it is locked.

Be alert to people “hanging around' when you park and lock your vehicle. Ensure that valuables are stored out of sight if you have to leave them in the vehicle. Be alert to people hanging around if you put valuables in the boot of your vehicle. Jamming devices being used are small and can look like a gate remote control unit. Be alert to people holding something like that. Thieves are targeting laptops, cell phones, cameras and handbags. These thieves are targeting shopping centers.

Try to park near CCTV cameras to monitor your vehicle.

Protect your children Always know your child's friends and their whereabouts. Don't leave your child alone in a parked car. Teach your children the “buddy” system - to always play and walk with friends. Always keep your child in sight when in public places, like shopping centers.

Patience will be a virtue on Lydenburg / Burgersfort Road Michelle Boshoff

T

HERE's no escaping road works, not even on the R37. The 40km construction on this road started over a year ago and was supposed to be finished by now.

Cars are typically impatient in any road work situation, but this road construction has led to

D

eur inisiatief en versoeke van ouers en die Laerskool Lydenburg se beheerraad is daar veranderinge in die verkeersvloei om die laerskool in piektye in werking

gestel.

Die strate om die laerskool is vanaf Maandag 22 April vir sekere tye van die dag (voor en na skool) verander in eenrigtingstrate vir die publiek. Die proses werk reeds goed. Vanaf kwart voor sewe tot kwart voor agt soggens en kwart voor een tot tweeuur smiddae, moet ouers wat kinders by die laerskool aflaai of oplaai, asook inwoners van Marren, Van Staden, De Vos en Nelstrate asseblief oplet na die nuwe verkeersreelings.

As jy die laerskool uit Longtomstraat nader, kan jy in die tye nie meer regs in Nelstraat draai nie. Draai links op in Marren Steeg tot bo by die spoor en dan regs in Van Staden tot by De Vos. Draai dan regs af tot in Nel en laai jou kind af of op. As jy jou kind by die tennisbane aflaai, hou links in De Vos en as jy in Nelstraat aflaai, hou regs in De Vos. In Nelstraat bly in die regterbaan as jy klaar afgelaai het, maar gebruik die linkerbaan as jy moet stilhou. Die linkerbaan word slegs gebruik om kinders op of af te laai. Beweeg met Nelstraat uit die gebied. Jy ry

Readers complained that the safety measures at the construction sites are not up to par and the proper right-of-way regulations are not in place.

The AA (Automobile Association) stated in the AA Report on Road Conditions R37: Beware of stray animals. Exercise caution. Single carriageway, variable but generally fair” Road users are urged to remember that this is a ll

Eweneens is Longtomstraat af, agter die pawiljoen verby en Finsbury ’n eenrigtingstraat kloksgewys om daardie blok. Agter die pawiljoen geld die reel ook dat jy in die linkerbaan op of aflaai en in die regterbaan uitry. Let asseblief op na die nuwe padtekens en padversperrings.

Hierdie stappe word geneem om verkeersvloei om die skool in een rigting te kanaliseer ter wille van beter verkeersvloei, maar belangriker nog, ter wille van die kinders en ouers se veiligheid.

Mnr. Mohamed Cassim wil graag die volgende persone bedank vir hulle bydrae en samewerking om van die projek ’n sukses te maak: Die inwoners van die area wat geraak word, die Beheerraad van die skool, Mnr. Cornelius Lemmer en sy personeel en die ouers wat goed saamwerk.

Thaba Chweu verkeersdepartement word ook bedank vir hulle hulp en

provincial road and the company in charge is Superway Construction. Superway confirmed on their website that the road is still under construction.

The Lydenburg Mashishing Business Chamber, Vice Chairman Mr Mohammed Cassim said that road users should be alert and careful.

“This is a big project and has a huge scope of work. The estimated period of completion is about a year,” Mr Cassim said.

AAL uit die Long Johns, serpe en slaapsokkies. Een van die dae word jy wakker met ’n bloedrooi neus, seer keel en 'n baie dik

kop.

Die apteke en dokters weet hoe om dit te behandel maar boererate kan nie weggegooi word nie.

Klaarblyklik werk knoffel baie goed om jou imuunstelstel te versterk. Drink maar eerder knoffelpille as die asempie te skerp raak. ’n Ander raad is om een koppie kookwater met 2ml gemmer, een teelepel kremetart en genoeg suiker te meng. Drink dit so warm as moontlik en klim in jou bed en hou jou warm sodat jy die verkoue behoorlik kan uitsweet.

Maak vir jou 'n mengsel van een koppie kookwater, een eetlepel heuning, 'n teelepel gemmer en suurlemoensap na smaak. Jy kan ook 'n pynstiller saam met hierdie mengsel drink.

Twee teelepels fyn gemmer en 'n halwe teelepel neutmuskaat gemeng met water en heuning is nóg 'n raat wat jou uit bedarres sal hou.

Jy kan ook elke dag een teelepel heuning in louwarm water met 'n ¼ teelepel kaneel drink. Herhaal dit vir drie dae. Hierdie middel help om die verkoue te verdryf en maak skynbaar ook jou sinuskanale oop.

As jou neus begin loop, kan jy 'n opgehoopte teelepel koeksoda in 'n glas water drink. Drink agterna nóg water om die sterk mengsel te verdun. Moet dit liefs nie op 'n leë maag drink nie, jy sal dit berou. Die koeksoda verhoog blykbaar die intersellulêre pH van die liggaam van suur tot alkalies. Die virusse wat jou aanval, kan nie in 'n alkaliese omgewing voortplant en vermeerder nie. Drink die koeksoda soggens en saans vir ongeveer drie dae en voordat die verkoue jou behoorlik kan laat les opsê, is dit weg.

As jy nie reeds kappertjies in jou tuin het nie, sal jy moet begin plant.

Nog raad vir keelseer is om ’n mengsel te maak van 'n ¾ teelepel fyn sout, 'n ¾ teelepel koeksoda, 'n ½ teelepel Dettol, een oplosbare pynstiller, 'n ¾ koppie water en dit gereeld te gorrel.

Hoewel Suid-Afrika genadiglik nie naastenby sulke koue Europese winters beleef nie, kan jy as jy maklik koud kry vir jou thermal underwear by 'n buitelugwinkel koop. Dis veral lekker om daarmee te slaap.

Slaapsokkies! Is dit iets wat jy laas besit het toe jou ouma nog vir jou die geel-en-pers paar met die tossels aan die veters gebrei het? Slaapsokkies is ideaal vir die winter so as jy nie soos ek al 'n paar persent gekry het nie, brei en wees bly. (van die rate het die internet verskaf).

Uit die Woord From the Word Proverbs 16:24 “Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body” Prayer: Lord help us to be more gracious with one another.

OLD GRUMPY

What?

HERE I spent most of the week thinking about a topic in the Queens Language, where I can whinge and be grumpy as usual!

I can go on and on about poor service delivery from the ruling party, about our dysfunctional municipality, crime, potholes in the roads, street lights that are not working and such.

But, we all moan about these things. These topics are old

Me. Marié Joubert was ’n geliefde en besondere persoon. Haar godsdiens en liefde vir haar medemens het sy daagliks uitgeleef en gereeld uitgedeel.

Sy was vir 30 jaar aan die Hoërskool Lydenburg verbonde en daar sal moeilik ’n oud-leerder wees wat haar nie onthou nie. Sy was 40 jaar ’n onderwyser.

Sy laat haar seuns Hannes, Marius en Tinus agter, haar skoondogters, vier kleindogters en drie susters.

Dankie na afsterwe Me. Annatjie Ackerman van Lydenburg skryf: Na die afsterwe van George Christie wil ek graag weereens vir almal bedank wat ons in hierdie tyd bygestaan het: Dr. Nico van Velden en die Lydenburg Mediese Sentrum, dankie aan Kobie Steinberg, Kobus en Sandra de Wet, Reinette Dunn. So ook aan al die ander wat dit op hulle geneem het om te help met vervoer na chemo-sessies, bystand, lekkernye en besoeke.

Baie dankie aan Adri Pretorius wat hom deur die nag verpleeg het in die laaste paar dae, dikwels met meer as wat van haar verwag word.

Spesiale dank aan Kleinjan en Estie du Toit vir hulle uitsonderlike bystand gedurende hierdie afgelope tyd. Dit word diep waardeer. Dankie aan ds. Fred Wilson wat die roudiens gelei het en George besoek het tydens sy siekbed.

Dankie aan Gerrie van der Merwe, ons selgroep, Marina en Gretchen, oom Dawid en al die werkers van die tuindienste. Spesiale dank aan Martin’s Ondernemers vir die wyse waarop hulle behulpsaam was. Almal wat gehelp het, gebid het ondersteun en liefde betoon het word waardeer.

Dankie aan my dogter Nicolette du Toit wat my so mooi gehelp het die week na George se afsterwe.

Van Annatjie Ackerman, Anchel du Toit, Leanne Christie.

Dankie aan Rusoord Me. Nettie Joubert van Palmsig Woonstelle in Lydenburg skryf: Hiermee wil ek Rusoord en sy personeel baie bedank vir hulle liefdevolle versorging, gedurende my verbylf daar om aan te sterk na ek my been gebreek het. In besonder baie dankie aan At en Jeanetta Kruger vir hulle liefdevolle bystand met my aflaai by die ouetehuis. Ek het dit baie waardeer.

Nuus vanaf Duncia Savehaven Duncia Safehaven skryf: Duncia Safehaven wil net vir Casper Badenhorst van Kopanang Engineering en Frik Rousseau van die Vryheidsfront + vir hulle onbaatsugtige en meer as welkome finansiele bydrae bedank. Dit het ons in staat gestel het om ons verpligtinge van Maart te kon nakom. Dit word opreg waardeer.

Die direksie en huismoeder wil dit graag onder die inwoners se aandag bring dat Duncia Safehaven ’n veilige hawe vir kinders is. Ons visie het weens omstandighede in ons omgewing verbreed. Die moeders wat daar is, is nie daar omdat hulle wil nie, maar omdat die omstandighede waarin hulle met hulle kinders verkeer het van so aard was dat hulle lewens in gevaar was.

Ons sien nie kans om hierdie kindertjies van hulle moeders te skei nie, die moeders, het ons na ondersoek vasgestel was nie deel van die geweld, dwelm en drank misbruik nie, daaroor het ons besluit om hierdie moeders ’n kans op oorlewing te bied sonder om hulle van hulle kindertjies te skei.

(Wat ons glo tot voordeel van die kindertjies is).

Daar is ook kindertjies sonder hulle moeders daar en word hulle met die grootste liefde versorg.

Duncia het suksesvol reeds van hierdie moeders met hulle kindertjies uit die huis na normale omstandighede uitgeplaas.

Van hierdie moeders werk by besighede teen minimale vergoeding, wat hulle nie in staat stel om selfversorgend te wees nie, alhoewel hulle hulle bes probeer. Hierdie moeders met hulle kindertjies is nie permanente inwoners nie, sodra hulle weer vir hulle kindertjies kan voorsien plaas ons hulle uit om selfstandig in die lewe te kan optree.

Aan al die Duncia vriende wat ons so getrou besoek, wat vir ons Bybelstudie kom hou en net elke keer daar vir ons is, baie baie dankie. Jan, Annetjie, Danie en Trudie julle is van onskatbare waarde. Kleine Pikkewyne wat na ons kleintjies omsien in die dag, julle is goud werd.

Ons vra groot asseblief u ondersteuning, om hierdie taak wat voor ons voete gelê is te kan volbring. Sonder die publiek se bydrae sal ons nie hierdie kindertjies ’n kans kan gee op ’n normale liefdevolle huis nie.

Vir enige navrae kontak asb. vir Tienie 082 802 4694 of Martie 083 423 7888

hat. No, this week I was exposed to so many pleasant and nice things that I could not be grumpy.

Firstly there is this big interdenominational drive supported by most of the churches for an event coming in September and entitled Return To God. What an excellent cause!

Watch the press for details. If we all returned to God, we might actually also see a return to high moral values, family life and a more tolerant society. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Secondly I am very impressed by the positive attitude and “can do” sentiments expressed by the executive of the Lydenburg / Mashishing Business Chamber. This is a worthy organisation trying their best to improve the lives of our local citizens. Join

them if you are not already a member.

Thirdly there is this movement called Unashamedly Ethical. Many of our local business people have already expressed the desire to join that movement. Find them on Google. High moral values, impeccable ethics in business and service, honesty and spiritual growth are the ingredients needed very much in our society today.

Fourthly, you can read all about the proposed Tebelo Village elsewhere in this paper.

And fifthly there is talk of a new retirement village, a new mall and a new private hospital. Fantastic.

And you and I can become involved. Let us take hands and support all these ventures. Even if there is no immediate benefit for you personally, support it. Join the relevant structures. We will all reap the rewards of progress and development in our town in due course.

Now if we could just get the politics right....

Kaapstad (Vue du Cap) en EBEN Muller help as Hartbeespoort ontwikkel en hande konsultant ontwikkelaars om g e v a t m e t t w e e aftree-oorde te ontwikkel wat ontwikkellingsmaatskappye om in die behoeftes van die ouer die luukse Blue Mountain-oord in persoon sal voorsien, met die George op te rig - 'n pragtige hawe voorvereiste dat dit wat bestaan uit 'n voltooide lewensvatbaar maar ook so verswakte afdeling met 61 bekostigbaar moontlik moet beddens, met verdere fases wat die wees.

Die nuus dat van verskillende byvoegings by van die oorde die dorp sy eie privaathospitaal gaan kry, was soos nog meer eenhede en ook volledige dienssentrums. Aan die begin van 2000 het die die groen lig om voort te gaan.

Eben se raad aan die ontwikkelaars is om die departement onder sy leiding en met hom as projekbestuurder, erwe in Hartbeespoort Verswakte Sorg-afdeling aan die hospitaal te aangekoop, gehersoneer en daarna onderverdeel koppel maar om dit apart te bestuur – daar is 'n in 69 voltitel erwe.

Landbou onder vier oë Deur Michelle Boshoff Foto links: Mnre. Kallie Klingbiel, Danie du Plessis en George Floyd tydens die Enkeldoorn Boerevereniging se vergadering saam met mede-boere verlede week.

Die TLUSA Oos Streek se Streekverteenwoordiger, Danie du Plessis was teenwoordig en het die boere toegespreek oor sake wat landbou tans direk beinvloed soos bv: Lone: Boere kan nog steeds aansoek doen vir vrystelling van die minimum loon, maar moet hul dokumentasie in orde kry by indiening van ’n aansoek. Aansoeke sal steeds deur die Departement van Arbeid hanteer word.

Navrae kan gedoen by TLUSA se kantoor in Ermelo by 017-819-4387. Daar is ook terugvoer deur Du Plessis gegee oor ’n mededeling van ’n Direkteur van die Departement van Arbeid dat die minimumloon vir die volgende 3 jaar in ooreenstemming met inflasie aangepas sal word en nie 53% soos wat in Januarie deur die Minister gedoen is nie. Du Plessis het ook gesê dat die aangaan van kontrakte met werkers ook ’n opsie aan boere is waarin bv. verminderde werkure onderhandel kan word.

Grondbelasting: Mnr Gerrie van der Merwe het terugvoer gegee oor grondbelasting tariewe vir boere.

Hy het gesê dat boere hul rekenings noukeurig moet nagaan en alle inligting aan hom moet beskikbaar stel vir aanwending.

Die wyse waarop grondbelasting tans hanteer word deur Munisipaliteite is strydig met wette en regulasies. Mnr van der Merwe het beklemtoon dat boere gehoorsame landsburgers is, maar net hul kant sal bring as daar voldoen word aan die Wet. Voorsorgfonds: Du Plessis het boere daarop gewys dat hulle ’n goedgekeurde Voorsorgfonds vir hul plaaswerkers in plek moet kry. Dit is van einde

Maart verpligtend en deel daarvan is ook aftrekbaar van salarisse. Dit kan verwag word dat van einde April inspeksies kan wees van die Departement van Arbeid. Skakel ABSA by Lydenburg Tel: 013-235-9700 Onteiening: Die nuwe onteieningswet is tans slegs ’n konsep vir bespreking en sal na verwagting later die jaar Wet word. Die boeregemeenskap moet nie geïntimideer word deur die Wetgewing nie. Doen self navorsing en versamel alle inligting in verband met die geskiedenis van u grond.

Min eise in Lydenburg-omgewing voldoen aan die Wet. Kontak TLUSA se kantoor op Ermelo vir ondersteuning en om kostes te bespaar. TLUSA se kantoor is deurlopend in kontak met Grondsake oor eise.

Strydfonds: Kallie Klingbiel het boere versoek om ’n bydrae te maak vir ’n fonds by TLUSA, of jy nou lid is van georganiseerde landbou of nie, dit is in boere se belang deur ’n ton mielies of geld waarde in te betaal in ’n fonds.

Honderde duisende rande is spandeer om Julius Malema stil te kry. Luthuli Huis moes ingryp toe al die publisiteit en hofsake deur die ANC aan hul bas gevoel is. Bydraes kan

by ABSA TLU REK 070-000-075 Silverton met takkode 334445 inbetaal word.

Kallie het verder gesê: “ Kom ons werk saam, om dit wat ons hinder om ’n goeie boerdery te bedryf, uit die weg te ruim. Ons is nie per toeval hier in Afrika gevestig nie” Kallie het ook ’n beroep by boere gedoen om by georganiseerde landbou aan te sluit en dus so hulle stem dik maak deur TLUSA.

Young women and youth from Kalkfontein and Ga-Rantho in Ngwaabe will EVA Smile. Poverty and unemployment in GaMasha in Ngwaabe, Steelpoort was recently dealt a serious blow.

Thanks to Two Rivers Platinum for their innovative thinking and genuine community development programmes. EVA Smile Car Wash, unique to this area, was launched by the Business Leader of Two Rivers Platinum Mine. Receiving their first client, who happened to be Mr Adriaan de Beer, the Business Leader at Two Rivers Platinum, Francis Moshidi, one of the co-owners of the EVA Smile Car Wash said, “Today I am living testimony of perseverance. Nobody ever thought I would come this far. My dreams have come true, thanks to Two Rivers' Youth Entrepreneurship Development Programme.

I hope this will now motivate other young people in my community to stand up and take opportunities afforded to us by the mines in our area”. The total project sponsorship, which was mainly focused towards the construction of the modern car wash, consisting of ten wash bays and wendyhouse for equipment storage, consumables as well as high power car washing equipment, is worth R90,000.

“Although this is just the beginning, we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. TRP gave us wings and we can only carry on from

here, said another co-owner of EVA Smile Car Wash, Violet Matenche. The project has changed my life for the better. Being a women-owned enterprise from a rural set-up like ours, especially where women are bread winners in several households, it will benefit more than just a few families and also give rural women hope. We hope other mining operations in the area can emulate what TRP is continuing to do for our communities”, concluded Miss Matenche.

The project has created five new jobs opportunities for youth from the local communities. The new owners of the car wash, namely, Violet Matenche and Francis Moshidi were drawn from Ga- Rantho Village and Ga-Masha (Kalkfontein).

Having listened to the immediate communities' cry for employment and having acknowledged that Two Rivers Platinum alone cannot create the required jobs or absorb all the unemployed youth in the area, identified various business opportunities on the mine and helped establish a various SMME, gave them the necessary training and skills transfer and donated basic equipment, kitting their members and employees with safety gear as well as facilitating the registration of the cooperatives.

The major advantage of the SMME sector is its employment potential at low capital cost.

The small micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) have been accepted as the engine of economic growth and for promoting equitable development.

In order to deal effectively with challenges of inequality, poverty and unemployment in the country, we must assist by supporting the SMME sector” said Adriaan de Beer, the Business Leader of Two Rivers Platinum.

“At Two Rivers we don't just produce quality grades of platinum, we also produce quality and sustainable SMMEs in our local communities. This in turn creates additional jobs for the unemployed from the local communities. And we believe that Two Rivers can only become sustainable and succeed as a mine, if the communities around it are also stable and successful,” concluded Mr de Beer.

Two Rivers Platinum, is not just a wellmanaged and profitable mine in the Eastern Limb, it continues to lead the way in ensuring that the communities around its operations

Kalkfontein Mining Supplies also benefit from its success.

“We have established similar initiatives in the past few years and this included establishing and supporting local SMMEs providing services to the mine and the local communities, ranging from waste management and recycling, steel repairs and steel manufacturing.

“We strongly believe that the success of these initiatives depends on the support they receive from the local communities, employees, the municipalities and the local mines.

“As a collective, the mine operations and local government can do more for the local communities,” said Francois van Heerden, the Mining Leader and the car wash sponsor from Two Rivers Platinum.

Over the years, companies imported steel manufactured play equipment for recreational purposes and donated them to various community based organizations. This deprived local entities and individuals of job opportunities and most importantly deprived the local economy of a chance to grow.

TRP has broken this cycle by facilitating the establishment of a successful women l e d S M M E specializing in the r e p a i r a n d manufacturing of steel products. The local mines can now procure steel repair services from an empowered entity a n d t h e communities can procure garden furniture, braai s t a n d s a n d r e c r e a t i o n e q u i p m e n t manufactured locally.

Lumina SS discontinued FANS of big-capacity, rear-wheel drive cars… brace yourselves! CAR has learned that Chevrolet’s Australian-sourced Lumina saloon and Ute pick-ups will no longer be imported to South Africa. However, existing orders will be fulfilled and GMSA should have enough stock until the final quarter of this year.

The decision follows an upmarket repositioning of the Lumina SSV in Australia, adding more luxury features, but at a significant price increase that would see the vehicle compete against premium-badged vehicles in South Africa. Furthermore, the Rand has weakened considerably against the Australian Dollar since 2012.

This move leaves the Trailblazer as Chevrolet’s local flagship, but rumours persist that a saloon model larger than the Cruze remains in GMSA’s sights.

Most recently the hotly tipped favourite for local introduction has been the Malibu.

Carmag.co.za Editors note: Being a fan of affordable, proper muscle cars, this is the saddest car news I have heard in 30 years. This is indeed a very poor decision GM! Anyway, if you want one, buy it now and look after it. My Chev SS (Holden Monaro) see pic above in the banner, which is the granddaddy of the current Lumina, is now 42 years old and with proper care and maintenance, is still in excellent condition and being used almost daily.

No reason why your SS should not last you half a lifetime too!

Message to Ford: If GM cannot do it, why not bring in the Ford Falcon GT V8 in limited quantities. Also born in Australia it is a strong and capable car that should last as long, if cared for by a discerning owner.

What you used to see in your mirror before you heard the thunder of the V8!

(See the latest views from people in the box on page 14).

Are you going to register?

If not, how will you pay? Remember these are not traditional toll gates where you stop and pay.

You travel at say 120 and pass underneath several gantries with cameras and sensors that identify your vehicle by its registration. Sanral proposes to send you a bill if you do not have an e-Tag, or they will want access to your bank account or credit card for a direct withdrawal! Do you think this is practical?

Hyundai Veloster FIRST seen at the 2011 Johannesburg International Motor Show, Hyundai’s Veloster made quite an impression with its striking design. In 2013, the Veloster arrived in SA and it is a refreshing offering in the local hatchback market.

The Veloster comes in two Executive petrol derivatives; both with a 1.6 fourcylinder GDI engine under the bonnet in either a six-speed manual or Hyundai’s first EcoShift dual-clutch auto. Both versions produce 103kW at 6300rpm and 176Nm at 4850rpm. The model has a claimed fuel consumption of 7.9 litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 163g/km and 161g/km on the manual and auto respectively.

Hyundai SA says its styling is inspired by “light ray carvings” and makes for assertive if that radically different styling compared to its siblings.

It has bold, coupe lines and looks that will certainly appeal to the younger crowd, with a bum that could put Jennifer Lopez to shame, depending on whether you like dimples on the rear. The rear sports a functional spoiler that reduces drag and improves stability.

Dimensions are 1.39m high with a wheelbase of 2.65m. The Veloster also has four doors – including the boot. Don’t be confused by the rear only having one passenger door. The “2+1” concept is supposed to make for safer driving with the hinged-passenger door being on the left hand side for passengers to enter out of harm’s way on the right – should you be parked on the side of the road for some reason.

The styling though may take some time to get used to. The rear light clusters look as if it’s been carved out of the body and the rest of the gap still needs to be filled. I am fussy like that when it comes to styling – I like things clean and simple designs.

So how does it drive?

It is fun and the steering is super light – perhaps too much for some – but performance did leave me disappointed. It might be a feisty little number but for a 1.6 it wasn’t very confident when performing rapid acceleration need to overtake.

Overtaking should be calculated, especially in auto guise. Driving is smooth and when putting the car through its paces, it isn't completely useless and you don't feel like you need to hang on and pray you don't make it through some of Cape Town's best mountain passes- especially in the manual model. It just lacks a bit of oomph.

As for the dual-clutch, Hyundai has developed this tech in-house and it has two shafts – one with first, third and fifth gear, and the other with second, fourth and sixth gear. Hyundai said the clutches alternate to engage the relevant shaft for feeding the power from the engine to the front wheels. Though The Ecoshift auto is much better than the CVT found in other Hyundai models, it still lets the car down.

At least the gearbox is hampered by searching for the right gear because of the dual-clutch always ready to be in the correct one. While it wasn't erratic, gears seemed to hang at times but then you could just shift it yourself in the "sport" mode.

Yes it’s sporty and makes more power than most of its direct rivals, but driving was not as spirited as I anticipated. Perhaps my expectations were too high and I'm being harsh since despite power niggles it's a good car. Build quality is great, in terms of design it's a stunner and you get your money's worth in standard kit.

Hyundai said the Veloster's interior was inspired by that of a motorbike. The interior is contemporary with “floating” door handles and a digital instrument cluster with massive dials reminiscent of a motorcycle. The facia is uncluttered and generates a feeling as spaciousness and intuitive design. There are very sporty leather seats which compliments the car’s cheeky attitude and standard 18-" alloys, nice but expensive when tyres need to be replaced. Boot space is rated at 440 litres.

The Veloster takes on the likes of the Audi A3, VW Scirocco (1.4 TFSI), Mini Cooper and BMW 1 Series. A tough crowd perhaps, but the Hyundai does come packed with features. It has rear park assist, a multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, Bluetooth and a really cool multimedia screen. The park sensors stand out a tad much on the brighter coloured vehicles. There are eight colours to choose from. The seven-inch touch-screen in the centre console allows you to change colours, set wallpaper images and scroll through audio. It also includes a little game of sorts called Blue Max which rates how efficiently you drive. It is rather addictive and you'll end up saving fuel. There’s also a sound system in the car begging any audio enthusiast to pimp this car out even more. It has four speakers, two tweeters, a centre speaker and a subwoofer. There’s also an external amplifier. It’s packed to the brim with standard safety goodies like six airbags, ABS, EBD; electronic stability programme (ESP) and vehicle stability management (VSM).

Will it do well? Probably, since it’s something different and does offer the goods to go with its price, but it's going to have to prove its worth considering the competition. Hyundai SA hopes to sell 100-150 units per month. As with all Hyundais, the Veloster comes with a five-year or 150 000km warranty and roadside assist, along with a five-year or 90 000km service plan - with intervals at 15000km.

Ons toets die Isuzu KB 300 D-TEQ LX 4x2 handrat Ons het almal baie lank gewag vir die nuwe Isuzu bakkie reeks. Bykans al die mededingers het reeds verlede jaar nuwe voertuie bekend gestel en die Isuzu manne moes of wag, of na ander vervaardigers kyk.

Hierdie is die sesde generasie Isuzu. Die eerste is in Suid Afrika verkoop as die ou Chev LUV in 1972. Isuzu het egter al oor ’n tydperk van 70 jaar, 23 miljoen enjins gebou. Hulle diesels kom voor in bakkies, motors, trekkers, vurkhysers vragmotors, en industriële masjiene.

Vandag kan Isuzu se diesels tereg as van die beste en mees brandstofdoeltreffende ter wêreld beskou word. Die 280 DT in generasie vier (1997 - 2003), het alle rekordboeke herskryf in terme van goeie brandstofverbruik.

Van buite is die bakkie baie mooi en vergelyk wat voorkoms betref goed met die nuwe Ford Ranger. Dit is heelwat groter as die vorige Isuzu. Hulle het by Mitsubishi afgekyk om die bo- en agterkant van die kajuit te rek (skuins af) vir meer spasie op die dubbelkajuit (sien foto’s regs), maar dit is nie so erg as op die Triton nie. Die nuwe neus is by verre die mooiste van al die bakkies. Die agterste kantruit loop op die onderste lyn wigvormig na bo en agter (soos Tata) en ek sou persoonlik ’n meer reghoekige ruit verkies. Maar die effek lyk goed.

Binne is die paneelbord byna identies aan dié van die Chev Trailblazer. Dit is eenvoudig dog deftig en nie oorgekompliseerd met ’n miljoen knoppies nie. Alles is daar en maklik bereikbaar. Leersitplekke en leer op die stuurwiel en ratkierie.

Elektriese invou buitespieëls met flikkerligte. Dubbel paneelkissie met kragpunt (sien foto). Elektriese ruite met eendruk fasiliteit vir die bestuurder. Outomatiese deursluit as jy wegtrek en oopsluit as jy die sleutel uittrek. Sentrale sluit met alarm.

Outomatiese klimaatbeheer op luukse modelle en lugversorging op gewone modelle. Twee 12V kragpunte. USB en iPod in vir die klankstelsel met ses luidsprekers op LX weergawes. Radio, togbeheer, Bloutand en meer funksies op die stuurwiel. Tot ses lugsakke. Tien (10) blikkie en bottelhouers. Rakkies onder die stuurwiel, regs daarvan, op die paneelbord, in die deure, in die konsole en soos genoem dubbel paneelkissies. Op topmodelle, gedeeltelike LED agterligte, projektor hoofligte, misligte en parkeersensors agter.

Wat veiligheid betref is daar ABS met EBD, BAS, tot ses lugsakke en ISOFIX vir ’n babastoeltjie. Bestuursitplek elektries verstelbaar, ritrekenaar wat die gewone vertoon, digitale brandstof- en hittemeters en getinte ruite rondom.

Die volgende op die nuwe Isuzu het my spesifiek beïndruk: Die voorste koeldrankhouers sit reg onder die lugversorging se uitlate, so jy kan jou Coke koud hou. Die dubbelmik en kronkelvere voor vervang die ou “torsion bars” en is nog gemakliker as die ou veerstelsel. Met die beter vere en langer asafstand ry hierdie Isuzu nog lekkerder as die vorige een, wat myns insiens reeds die lekkerste in klas gery het. Die sleepvermoë van tot 3.5 ton is van die beste in sy klas. Soos tevore, is die kraglewering van die 3 liter D-TEQ enjin beskikbaar vanaf 1 800 opm tot by 4 000 opm. Geen “baie aksie en gou uitasem soos ’n haas” soos met die meeste ander dieselturbo voertuie nie! Ander vervaardigers probeer hierdie probleem met meer ratte aanspreek, maar as jy verbygaan moet jy in die regterbaan oprat. Nie met hierdie Isuzu nie. Jy haak vierde, sit voet neer en gaan verby, alles in een rat.

Die ander kenmerk waarvan ek hou is die tipiese Isuzu dieselgeraas as jy vet gee. Dit is tipes Isuzu, laat my tuis voel en gee gemoedsrus!

Waarvan hou ek nie?

Die tweede 12V kragpunt sit in die boonste paneelkissie. Dit is dom, want as jou GPS gekoppel is, kan jy nie die kassie toemaak nie. Die kragpunt hoort op die paneelbord langs die 12V aansteker se kragpunt. Die USB koppeling gebruik ’n mini proppie. Jy moet dus die kabeltjie wat verskaf word tussen jou geheuestokkie (met jou musiek op) en die bakkie se USB in punt gebruik. Persoonlik sou ek ’n sesspoed ratkas verkies, alhoewel die vyfspoed goed pas by die enjin se wye wringkragband.

Ratskakeling is soos op die oposisie nie seepglad nie, maar jy leer hom.

Op die pad ry die Isuzu lekker. Die nuwe vering is ferm maar baie gemaklik. Remme is fenomenaal. Stabiliteit om draaie en in ’n reguit lyn is uitstekend en selfs teen 180 km/u was die bakkie uiters vas op die pad. Die rygerief is so goed as die van VW se Amarok en Ford se Ranger. Die enjin draai ’n rustige 2 200 opm teen 120 en net 3500 opm teen 170. Dié bakkie sal ongetwyfeld lig wees op diesel.

My bevinding: Die nuwe Isuzu KB is ’n uitstekende voertuig. Dit behoort uitstekend te werk op die langpad en sal gemaklik en lekker sleep. Ek soek een! Andre Coetzee.

New Renault Clio launched RENAULT has just launched its fourth generation Clio in South Africa.

Aimed at market favourites such as the Kia Rio, Volkswagen Polo and Toyota Yaris, Renault has really come to the party with funky styling and competitive pricing.

New Clio is longer, lower and wider than the model it replaces; measuring in at 4 060 mm in length, 1 450 mm in height and 1 730 mm in width. Visually, it features the new Renault family face with the large logo and swept-back headlamps with LED daytime running lights. Integrated rear door handles near the C-pillar and a profusion of chrome detailing are among the exterior highlights. The lines and contours of the new car are completely different to those of the current Clio and, viewed in profile, gives the car a somewhat oriental (read Hyundai/Kia/ Nissan) look about it.

The entry-level unit is a 1,2-litre, 16-valve petrol engine that develops 55 kW and 107 N.m. Mated with a five-speed manual transmission, this Clio is capable of sprinting from zero to 100 km/h in 15,4 seconds and has a top speed of 167 km/h. There is also a new turbocharged 0,9-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. This unit pushes out 66 kW at 5 250 r/min and 135 N.m at 2 500 r/min. Renault claims that this model can reach 100 km/h from standstill in 12,2 ticks of the clock before it hits its top speed of 182 km/h. Fuel consumption for this model is 4,5 litres/100 km and it has a CO2 emissions figure of 104 g/km.

Standard features across all three specification levels – Authentique, Expression and Dynamique – include ESP, four airbags, cruise control and a USB-compatible audio system. Depending on the spec level, other features may include front and rear fog lamps, auto-on headlamps, a navigation system, electric windows, Isofix anchorages, keyless entry and start and hill start assist. Renault has chosen to not equip its Clio with a CD player, but it still has an audio system that is MP3 compatible and boasts auxiliary and USB inputs. It also has Bluetooth connectivity capabilities. This system can

be controlled via steering wheel-mounted controls.

Follow up on e-Toll system WHILE Gauteng motorists might be close to feeling the pinch of the controversial e-tolling system, many are are sticking to their guns in opposing it.

Following roads agency Sanral’s announcement that the system would be launched in two months, The Star’s sister paper, the Pretoria News, took to the streets to find out if motorists had registered for e-tags.

With over 2.5 million users of the Gauteng Freeway, only 600 000 have registered for e-tags so far.

Centurion resident Themba Masilela, who frequently travels on the N1, said he hadn’t bought an e-tag because of the dispute over the system between the government, Outa and Cosatu. “I haven’t bought it and don’t intend to. Why is the taxi industry exempted? I believe it is unfair for some road users to pay while others don’t.”

“GIVE AND GIVE” Bonginkosi Rakolota, from Benoni, decried the system, calling it “crazy”.

He accused the government of asking for too much. “I am not buying that thing. I pay a lot of tax from my salary and I pay a very high price for petrol already. What more should I give to the government?”

Misiwe Xolo, from Pretoria, accused the government of extorting money from citizens. “I won’t be buying the e-tag because I honestly think its an additional expense for me as a taxpayer, its ludicrous.”

Lindo Mlaba said he would not bow to pressure to buy the e-tag. “I think there are other ways the government can raise funds to maintain public roads. The fuel levy and other forms of taxes, if used efficiently, can fund maintenance of public roads.”

Terry Terblanche, who will be using the tolled R21 every day, said people must stop “moaning and groaning” and “just comply. We said we wanted government to upgrade our roads, they did, so why are we complaining?”

Another road user in support of e-tolling Mohau Segole, said people must avoid breaking the law.

“Toll gates are a sign the country is developing in line with the first world.

It hurts but gradually it rewards.”

Although it has been decided to start operating the tolls in June, the cost to motorists passing through tolls has not been revealed. - Pretoria News

iol.motoring Ed: If you think the eToll system will not affect you, think again. We send our local courier to Joburg and back every week to pick up this newspaper and he will have to travel on toll roads to the south of Johannesburg, which will therefore affect our costs. However, we do NOT intend to register for eToll and will be very reluctant to pay any bill, unless sent to us in a legal manner and by registered post! With the efficiency of the Post Office, that is another matter entirely!

KENNISGEWING VAN VOORNEME OM AANSOEK TE DOEN OM VRYSTELLING VAN DIE VEREISTES VIR OMGEWINGS-IMPAKEVALUERINGS INGEVOLGE NEMA EN NEM:WA VIR MODULÊRE AFVALWATERBEHANDELINGSAANLEGTE Projekbeskrywing: Emthonyeni het afvalwaterbehandelingstelsels op 'n modulêre skaal ontwikkel wat handig en mobiel is en wat redelik gou ontplooi kan word om waterbesoedelingsprobleme op bruinveldterreine regoor Suid-Afrika aan te spreek. Sekere aktiwiteite wat gelys is in die Junie 2010 Regulasies op Omgewingsimpakevaluerings (OIEregulasies) soos gepubliseer ingevolge die Nasionale Wet op Omgewingsbestuur, Wet 107 van 1998, (NEMA) en die Nasionale Wet op Omgewingsbestuur: Afval, Wet 59 van 2008 (NEM:WA) is potensieel van toepassing op die ontplooiing van hierdie stelsels en by 'n aantal terreine waar waterbehandelingstelsels geïnstalleer is, is Omgewingsmagtigings toegestaan.

Die omgewingsmagtigings is egter gekoppel aan spesifieke terreine, wat die mobiliteit van die behandelingseenhede en die potensiaal daarvan vir hergebruik en herontplooiing beperk.

Voorts, aangesien hierdie behandelingseenhede op bestaande nywerheids- of mynbouterreine ontplooi word, is die impak van die waterbehandelingsaanleg dikwels weglaatbaar in vergelyking met die impak van die aanleg waar dit geleë is. Daarbenewens, hoewel die modulêre behandelingstelsels vinnig ontplooi kan word, kan die magtigingsprosesse vertragings veroorsaak en teenproduktief wees, aangesien die besoedeling van waterhulpbronne voortduur terwyl die aansoek om omgewingsmagtiging vir die waterbehandelingstelsel afgehandel word.

Ten einde hierdie potensiële probleem te oorkom, het Emthonjeni vir Carin Bosman Sustainable Solutions BK (CBSS) aangestel om aansoek te doen om 'n vrystelling van die OIE-regulasies soos beoog ingevolge Artikel 24(M) van NEMA en subregulasie 50, 51(3) en 54(2) van die OIEregulasies. Savannah Environmental (Edms.) Bpk. is aangestel om 'n openbare deelnameproses ter ondersteuning van die aansoek om vrystelling te onderneem. Die deel van inligting vorm die grondslag van die openbare deelnameproses en bied u die geleentheid om uit die staanspoor aktief betrokke te raak by die proses van die aansoek om vrystelling. U word hiermee uitgenooi om op die projek se databasis te registreer as 'n Belangstellende en Geaffekteerde Party (B&GP). Deur as 'n B&GP te registreer, sal u verseker dat u outomaties verdere inligting ontvang wat versprei word as deel van hierdie proses en uitgenooi word na vergaderings wat in die komende weke sal plaasvind. Kommentaar kan per pos, faks of e-pos by Savannah Environmental ingedien word deur die kontakbesonderhede hieronder te gebruik.
