Michelle Boshoff Me. Gerda Chester is iemand wat haarself jare letterlik vir LAPSAR afgesloof het. Die DBV het reeds in die laat 1990’s Lydenburg ‘verlaat’ en enige DBV sake in Lydenburg word deur Nelspruit beheer. Toe me. Chester en haar man hierheen trek het sy LAPSAR gestig en probeer om elke dier ‘n kans te gee. Met die hulp van die gemeenskap kon sy die hokke weer netjies kry, fasiliteite opgradeer ens. Al die werk wat tot op hede by Lapsar gedoen is kom uit haar en haar man se sak. Wanneer honde of katte aangeneem word, word die ‘aanneemfooi’ net so vir kos gebruik. Sy kan weens gesondheidsredes nie meer met LAPSAR aangaan nie. Lapsar kan oorgeneem word by haar. Kostes kan bespreek
word, maar dit is ’n bysaak, omdat dit oor die diere daar gaan. Sy sal Vrydag 12:00 by die hokke wees (agter Lydenburg toetssentrum) sodat voornemende eienaars met haar die moontlikhede kan bespreek. In Lydenburg is dit al jare ’n tendens dat diere net weggegooi word. Dit is veral baie duidelik met nuwe intrekkers wat nie lank in die dorp bly nie. Hulle los hulle honde aan die elemente en wil nie hul diere saamvat nie. Gerda of diereliefhebbers versorg dan daardie diere op hul eie onkoste. En baie keer is LAPSAR se hokke vol en het die honde dan nie ’n heenkome nie. Dit gebeur gereeld ook dat diere net oor die hek by LAPSAR gegooi word en die volgende oggend moet Gerda en haar span die honde veearts toe vat en versorg. Dit gebeur redelik gereeld, veral aan die begin van die jaar, wanneer inwoners met ’n nuwe werk op ’n nuwe dorp begin. Die nuwe eienaar moet nie bang wees vir harde werk nie, bereid wees om honde te gaan haal in die straat of huise waar hulle mishandel word en verkieslik eie vervoer hê. Daar is baie mense wat deur die jare sakke kos en baie liefde aan LAPSAR uitgedeel het. Gerda bedank ieder en elk. Sy het gesê dat kos, komberse en geld steeds daagliks nodig is. Skakel Gerda Chester by 082-041-6165 vir navrae.

VF+ skop af met Verkiesingsveldtog
Frik Rousseau, leier van die VF+ in Thaba Chweu saam met mnr. Jaco Kok ’n leier van die Khoisan by die VF+ vergadering in Pretoria. Op Saterdag 30 Augustus 2013 het die VF+ in ’n yskoue Pretoria hulle verkiesingsveldtog vir 2014 geloods. Dit is gehou in die Tshwane Events Centre (op die ou Pretoria Skouterrein). Sowat 200 landswye afgevaardigdes het die bekendstelling van die party se nuwe missie, embleem, verkiesingsveldtog en visie bespreek. Dr Pieter Mulder VF+ leier en Adjunk Minister in Pres Zuma se kabinet het in sy toespraak genoem dat dit tyd is vir ’n nuwe Suid Afrika tot voordeel van al sy mense. Die waarheid is dat Suid Afrika ’n baie diverse land met verskillende kulture, godsdienste en tale is. Die VF+ se nuwe missie is om ’n droom en ideaal daar te stel wat nie net Afrikaners sal motiveer nie, maar alle Suid Afrikaners. Dr Mulder het genoem die VF+ besef hy kan dit nie alleen doen nie, daarom is die VF+ tans in gesprekke met ander opposisiepartye soos die IVP, COPE, ACDP en die UDM, met die oog om ’n koalisie te vorm. Volgens Dr Mulder wys die vernuwing die VF+ is aanpasbaar by die nuwe Suid Afrika. Dr Mulder het verder genoem dat sy adjunkministerskap in Pres. Jacob Zuma se kabinet ’n voordeel was vir die party, want die VF+ het direkte insae in kabinetsbesluite. Dit is beter as om net as ’n toeskouer van buite af te skreeu. Leiers van die Khoisan gemeenskap het ook die vergadering bygewoon. Johnny Mash, ’n Rastafarier en Khoisan leier van Pretoria het genoem dat hulle die vergadering bygewoon het omdat hulle as minderheidsgroep dieselfde ideale as die VF+ het. Frik Rousseau VF+ leier van Thaba Chweu is gekies op die Provinsiale VF+ Federale Raad van Mpumalanga, waarin hy en ander bestuurslede die provinsie op nasionale vlak verteenwoordig. Hy het sy dank uitgespreek teenoor die VF+ ondersteuners van die Provinsie wat in hom die vertroue gestel het en hy onderneem om met sy jarelange politieke ervaring sy beste te lewer. Hy is baie dankbaar dat die VF+ saam met ander partye ’n koalisie gaan vorm en met die Khoisan gemeenskap se ondersteuning glo hy dat die koalisie in die komende verkiesing goed sal vaar. Hy doen ’n beroep op alle kiesers om te gaan registreer om te kan stem. Vir inligting oor registrasie kan hy geskakel word by 073 913 7534.

Remember, Remember GO BIG on Friday 6 September for Casual Day
O
Miss Marilyn Ramos, reigning Miss South Africa with children like Toro Poen to raise awareness for Casual Day. The 19th Casual Day, South Africa's foremost awareness and fundraising campaign, which raises funds for persons with disabilities, is firmly on track to go bigger than ever on Friday 6 September 2013. This year's GO BIG theme will be celebrated nationally by approximately two million South Africans. Owned by the National Council for Persons with Physical Disabilities (NCPPDSA), Casual Day officially gives fun-loving South Africans a R10 'license' to dress as differently from the norm as they dare. Casual Day is a lifeline for the network of 500 organisations and thousands of programmes that benefit from the funding, says Therina Wentzel, National Director of NCPPDSA. “In addition to providing a wonderful opportunity to build morale by breaking with routine to have fun together for a good cause, Casual Day has raised over R170 million over the past 18 years. So never say that your 'small donation' does not go a long way,” Wentzel emphasised. The project is run in partnership with the NCPPDSA's national beneficiaries - SA National Council for the Blind, Disabled People South (DPSA), SA Federation for Mental Health, Deaf Federation of SA (DeafSA), Epilepsy SA, Autism South Africa (ASA), Down Syndrome South Africa, The National Association for Persons with Cerebral Palsy (NAPCP), the South African National Deaf Association (SANDA), the National Institute for the Deaf (NID), QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA), Alzheimer's South Africa and the South African Disability Alliance (SADA). “All these new beneficiaries are committed to advancing the rights of persons with disabilities. Apart from the services they provide to their constituencies, they are involved in advocacy and lobbying for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in mainstream society. Together with our veteran beneficiary organisations, the Casual Day beneficiaries now constitute a significant lobby group for the human rights of a diverse group of persons with a range of disabilities,” Wentzel says. Last year Casual Day raised R22.2 million, a ten percent year on year increase. “We are ecstatic about the response from South Africans. With the world economy in turmoil, and a decline in funding for NGOs from corporations and government, Casual Day continues to go from strength to strength and provide invaluable support to some of the most vulnerable members of our society.” Donations are raised R10 at a time for a Casual Day sticker, which is distributed through the project's various sponsors and financial partners and its network of beneficiary organisations in the field of disability. Project leader, Celeste Vinassa says, “This year we Go Big, so whether you wear big hair, a big tie, big shoes or just go big on the number of stickers you wear, anything goes, as long as it's big. Your R10 donation makes a big impact on the lives of persons with disabilities. Leading retail group Edcon, is Casual Day's principal financial sponsor. Stickers are available at all Edcon stores, which include the following brands: Edgars, Edgars Active, Jet, JetMart, Boardmans, CNA and Red Square. Stickers will also be available at Absa, Game and DionWired stores, Checkers, Shoprite and Checkers Hyper or any of the participating beneficiary organisations (for full list see www.casualday.co.za).
N 13 September 2010, the police in Mpumalanga reported about the arrest of two brothers on allegations of a murder of a professional nurse, Betty Mogola, who was 44 years old. Jackson Mdluli, 39 and Zondi Mdluli 32, senselessly killed Mogola on allegations that she did not give their mother good treatment at the Lydenburg Provincial Hospital where she was working. The suspects then connected the death of their mother to Mogola. On the basis of the incident, police then
investigated the matter and arrested the Mdluli brothers. Today, 02 September 2013, the investigation was brought to a final episode by the Pretoria Circuit of the High Court sitting in Middelburg, where the suspects were sentenced as follows: murder – life sentence, attempted murder- five years, assault – s ix months , robbery w ith aggravating circumstances – four years, pointing of firearm – two years and unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition – two years. For the duration of the sentences, the judge has indicated that all charges will run concurrently with the life sentence. “We welcome the sentence which will serve as the last chapter for the freedom of the suspects. Other potential criminals should learn from the Mdluli brothers that crime does not pay,” said the Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Thulani Ntobela. In the same breath, the General congratulated the members for working tirelessly and managed to secure a conviction. He said their hard work has finally reaped good results.
’n Wit Kia Soul het Maandagmiddag teen ’n geweldige snelheid agter in mnr. Andre Coetzee se klassieke 1971 Chevrolet SS vasgejaag. Die ongeluk het by die spoedhobbel by die bruggie in Lydenburgstraat plaasgevind, net nadat Coetzee oor die hobbel is. Mnr. Coetzee, wat hierdie motor sedert 1974 besit, sê dat dit sy wittebrood motor was en dat hy die afgelope bykans 30 jaar die voertuig versorg het soos sy eie kinders. Elke woonwavakansie wat die familie ooit gehad het, was met dié Chev. Die klassieke motor wat ook op die Laevelse Ou Wiele klub se boeke is word dikwels benodig vir spesiale geleenthede soos Rusoord se kermis en ander. Die waarde van hierdie klassieke
Wors, sosaties, biltong en droëwors te koop!
motors is dikwels meer as die van ’n nuwe. Hoewel die skade op die foto nie ernstig lyk nie, is daar interne meganiese en struktuurskade. Die bestuurdersitplek het byvoorbeeld weens die geweldige slag gebreek. Coetzee is ongedeerd. Mnr Coetzee wil ook graag aan die drie jong dames wat die motor bespreek het vir die matriekafskeid om verskoning vra dat hy nie meer sy beloftes gestand kan doen nie. Coetzee doen ’n beroep op die publiek om te help waar hulle kan. Indien mense die ongeluk sien gebeur het kontak hom asb. Tesame met die fotos wat hy op die toneel geneem het, mag dit hom help. Of die Chev herstel kan word, is ’n ander saak. Sekere onderdele soos ligte kan uit Australië ingevoer word, maar dit sal ’n baie bekwame paneelklopper en baie geld verg, om die ou motor tot sy glorie te herstel. Dit is onvervangbaar en is spesifiek in Coetzee se testament bemaak aan sy seun. Enigiemand wat hulp kan verleen kan Andre by die koerant skakel by 013 235 2287.

Dis lente... ek weet daar is ’n paar liedjies en gedigte oor lente. Miskien sal ek dit in die kar sit en sing as ek ver weg ry. Met die instap van lente op 1 September het ek tog al te graag weer begin droom om in my kar te klim ry. Eintlik na die naaste lughawe om te vlieg New York toe. Al ooit by die huis gesit met 'n vlooi wat aan jou byt? Dit begin jeuk. En naderhand raak dit 'n obsessie om van hierdie jeukende-plek ontslae te raak. Die vlooie op Hoorhierso probeer my bewusmaak van hoe goed dit sal wees om weer weg te breek. Nie te ver nie. Net sodat ek die vlooi sy sin kan gee en dat dit nie meer jeuk nie. Dis 'n vakansie-vlooi. 'n Droomvlooi. Droom van wonderlike, asemrowende bestemmings. Tropiese eilande, Alaska, Parys, New York en Matjiesfontein. Want daar was ek ook nog nie. Soveel plekke om te sien. En hier sit ons in Lydenburg. Tog kan ons droom. Al is dit ver weg na Tippererie. Ver is ook die Suidpunt van Afrika, reguit Kaap Agulhas toe. Daar was ek glo al. Was glo al oral in Suid-Afrika, maar was net te jonk om te onthou. Ons eie land moet met mening besoek word, hier is 'n onuitputlike bron van reiservarings vir die entoesiastiese reisiger. En ek is definitief entoesiasties. Al is my beursie nie. Elke keer wat die kar se wiele draai moet dit op 'n plek wees waar ek nog nie was nie. Tog is dit makliker gesê as gedaan. Op elke vakansie ontmoet mens fassinerende wesens en besoek interessante plekke. Mens kan mos droom tot in al die uithoeke van die wêreld. Eendag sal jy wel daar kom en definitief 'n paar berge en waterstrome kruis. Al is dit te "ver te ver om te ry, dis te naby om te bly hoe sal ek maak om daar te kom?" Ja 'wanderlust' het my met mening beetgepak. So volgende keer as die reisvlooi byt, krap dan waarheen dit jeuk.
Help resepteboekie soek asb. Chamber meeting Hannetjie Du Plooy skryf: Ek het agt kleinkinders en het besluit ek gaan vir elkeen ’n resepte boekie van my gunsteling resepte met die hand skryf. Ek het! Toe het ’n persoon die een boekie by my kom leen om ’n degie wat jy om vis sit af te skryf. (Nie gedoen nie) en het toe die boekie Hervormde Kerk toe gevat, sonder my medewete en nou weet niemand waar is die boekie nie. Die boekie is vir Simon Du Plooy geskryf, sy naam staan voorop en binne in die boekie. Ek wil vir die persoon wat so ’n boekie by die kerk gekry het vra om asseblief vir my die boekie terug te besorg. Ek sal dit by die persoon gaan afhaal as dit moet. Vir my gaan dit oor sentiment verbonde, nie een van die boekies bevat dieselfde resepte nie en ek kan nie onthou wat is in Simon se boekie opgeteken nie. Ek vra mooi - kan ek die boekie terug kry asseblief? Dankie vir u samewerking. My nommer is 072 352 4388.

VIR die meeste mense is die koop van ’n nuwe motor ’n aangename, vreugdevolle en opwindende ervaring. Nie vir my nie. Ek het nie die behoefte om te kompeteer met ’n nuwe motor nie. Ek hoef niks te bewys nie. Die langtermynskuld laat my sweet en galbulte uitslaan asof ek een of ander allergie het. Dit is vir my baie stresvol. Miskien sou dit lekker wees as ek ’n ryk man was, maar ek twyfel. Ek doen

gewoonlik baie navorsing, dink oor wat ek nodig het, kies my kleur en spesifikasievlak en so aan, sodat ek lank gelukkig sal wees met my wiele. So moes ons onlangs besluit om die koerant se bekende “CAT” geel Corsa bakkie te laat gaan en te vervang. Laasjaar was dit die diesel Corsa bakkie se beurt en hy is met ’n silwer Chev Utility vervang. Maar my beleid is die nuutste een kom na my toe en ek moes dus nou my geliefde rooi Corsa vir Jill gee. Die Utility gaan nou die Johannesburg roete doen. Vir die eerste keer in 30
jaar het ek nie weer ’n GM produk gekies nie en het gevoel ek moet iemand anders ook ondersteun. Omdat ek so vol fiemies is, moes ek twee maande wag vir die regte (kleur en spesifikasie) Nissan NP200. Wel, miskien het Fred Zeeman, Dicky Roux, Hercules Coetzee en Sanet Lotter van Longtom Nissan gesien ek stres, want sowat van hulp het ek nog nie ervaar nie. Die bakkie is behoorlik voorberei, die ekstras is opgesit, die tenk is volgemaak en ek het ’n bottel wyn gekry om die bekommernis weg te drink! Wat ’n ervaring! Natuurlik het Jill Du Preez in my kantoor die papierwerk behartig, want hulle kry my jammer! Baie dankie aan almal. Fred, jou wenspan en die diens wat ek ontvang het, staan ver bo almal uit! Wel gedaan, ek weet ek gaan die Nissantjie geniet en ek is reeds besig om hom op te dollie!

Die jaarlikse basaar van die Gereformeerde Kerk Lydenburg was weereens ’n groot sukses. Die gemeentelede het ’n groot fees aangebied en almal het te heerlik saam gekuier. Van pannekoek, tot pap-en-tik en heerlike gebak was daar om aan te smul. Die basaar het op die gronde van die NG Moedergemeente plaasgevind wat dit sentraal maak vir die hele dorp en toeriste om dit by te woon. Dankie aan almal wat bygedra het tot die sukses van die dag. ~ Michelle Boshoff

Kenchington’s groet na jare as dorp se ontspanplek
Al die veld is vrolik Al die veld is vrolik; al die voëltjies sing; al die kriekies kriek daarbuit'; elke sprinkaan spring. Al die koggelmannetjies kom om fees te vier; hier galop 'n goggatjie, daarso dans 'n mier. Al in die rondte, vrolik en bly! Selfs die vissies spartel teen die skuil; in die groot ou eikeboom droom 'n oupa-uil. Oral in Karooland is 'n ruik versprei: boegoeblom en appelkoos–kan jy beter kry? Nou gaan die kinders draai, nou gaan hul speel! Al in die rondte, vrolik en bly! Bind vir my tesame katjiepiering wit, bobbejaantjies blou en bont, rose in gelid,varings van die klippe, oral, ai só mooi,rooi kalkoentjies uit die vlei–blomme uitgestrooi.Nou gaan die kinders draai, nou gaan hul speel! Vrolik is die wêreld, vrolik rant en vlei! Elke koggelmannetjie het sy maat gekry. Elke gons'rig' goggatjie is getroud of vry: vrolik is die wêreld hier, vrolik veld en vlei! Nou gaan die kinders draai, nou gaan hul speel! Kom Sus, gee handjie! Almal moet draai! Boet gee ook handjie! Nou gaan ons swaai– dis tog so prettig! Wie dans met my? Al in die rondte, vrolik en bly! Kom Sus, gee handjie! Almal moet draai! Boet gee ook handjie! Nou gaan ons swaai– dis tog so prettig! Wie dans met my? Al in die rondte, vrolik en bly! ~ C. Louis Leipoldt

THE first Lotters store was opened as Lotters Discount Land on the corner of Church and Du Toit Street in the Pretoria CBD in 1969. It became a landmark in Pretoria and established a reputation for carrying a wide range of excellent quality furniture. Having spent several years laying the groundwork, Lotters Pine opened its first pilot Franchise outlet in Polokwane during December 2007. The Group now comprises of 20 stores in six Provinces. Whereas in the early years of the business, pine furniture was perhaps perceived as “cheap” entry level furniture; the range of items and finishes now available combined with the enduring quality of the product has seen the status of pine furniture upgraded to the point where it competes with all but the most exclusive solid wood products. What makes Lotters Pine different? We would say that our point of difference is that we focus almost exclusively on pine furniture; we truly are a specialist in our field. We also stock a range of products that are manufactured exclusively for Lotters Pine. The proven success of our outlets in several provinces, combined with a burgeoning middle class always on the look out
for value for money, presents an excellent opportunity to expand the brand nationally. Our stores offer customers the widest variety of top quality specialised pine furniture in a variety of finishes, including raw pine, varnished, stained or painted. For the customer we define the experience with the following phrases: “Lots of stock on the shop floor – pick it up and take it home with you”; “A wide variety of furniture for every room in the home”; “Great service and a fun experience” and “Available in a variety of finishes to suit the customers needs” Lotters Pine Lydenburg, now under new management, follows on from the original Lotters concept and ethos. Here you will find the widest range of items to choose from and you can experience first hand the friendly, efficient service that has grown the Lotters Pine franchise into one of the best places to purchase furniture for your home. Lotters Pine Lydenburg is located at Jocks Country Stalls, Viljoen street. You can also phone the store on 013 235 4536, e-mail lotterspinelydenburg@telkomsa.net

Gardening in September IT isn't only seedlings that are stirring in spring. The whole world is being re-born, and our good earth is teeming with life. There are pests, as well. The eggs of slugs and snails are hatching out, all kinds of biting and sucking insects are being born and somehow or other-there are always a few old and very hungry cutworms, wireworms, and so on which have managed to survive the winter and are going on the rampage in our gardens now. Seedlings, until they grow old and tough enough to be more or less unattractive to pests, must therefore be protected from their enemies. That is easy enough if you make an early start by spraying with something like Malasol. Don't wait until
Like Us
your seedlings are attacked and weakened by pest attack. This month seed sowing can start in real earnest. It is safe to sow any of the semi-hardy annuals now. By the time the seedlings are up we will have nothing to fear from the weather. Even a cold night or two won't hurt them now. Petunias, nicotiana, begonias and all other plants which have very fine, dust-like seeds are best sown in tins placed in a cold frame, although if you are hard-pressed for space, pots can be accommodated on a bathroom or kitchen windowsill. Then there are some very interesting vegetable sowings for this month. There are the ornamental gourds, for instance. Mulching now will help your seedlings to grow and your transplants to establish themselves because the soil in which they are growing is nice and cool and moist. The lawn is ready for its first run over with the lawnmower. Do not set the knives of the mower too closely for this. They should not do much more than just skim the turf. The lawn can be more closely mown later on. Source: www.mweb. co.za
’n Tuin wat behoorlik gevoed is, kan toestande soos hitte en droogte beter hanteer. Die grond moet so los wees dat jy enige tyd jou vinger daarin kan druk. Verwyder hierdie lente alles uit jou tuin wat nie verlede seisoen gewerk het nie. As dit nie verlede jaar gewerk het nie, gaan dit ook nie hierdie jaar werk nie. Trek dit uit en gooi dit weg. Sodoende maak jy vir jouself 'n 'maklike' tuin. Maak aantekeninge oor plante wat in jou omgewing werk. Wanneer jy sien jou bure het 'n plant wat pragtig groei of blom, kan jy maar weet dit sal in jou tuin ook werk. Pluk 'n blaartjie of 'n takkie daarvan en gaan vra daarvoor by jou kwekery. “Fruit salad”-tuine is 'n fout. Mense wat ietsie van alles plant se tuine het geen ritme nie. Groepeer kleure bymekaar met spierwit tussenin. Dit is altyd mooi. Waak teen té veel plante in té klein ruimte. Min is in – onthou dit. Met 'n kleiner tuintjie is dit raadsaam om minder soorte plante te plant. Rig 'vertrekke' in jou tuin in, wegsteekhoekies. 'n Mens moenie die hele tuin in een oogwink kan sien nie. Maak vir jou 'n Bybelstudie-, kuier- en koffiehoekie. Elke mens moet mediteer, en dit in jou eie tuin. Maak groente, kruie en vrugtebome deel van jou tuin. Beet en blaarslaai maak byvoorbeeld pragtige grondbedekkers. Vrugtebome behoort nie formeel in hul eie beddings te staan nie. Wanneer jy nie grond sien nie, is jou tuin perfek. Plant slim sodat jy ook nie mure of die bure sien nie. Nie dat 'n mens nie jou bure wíl sien nie, jy wil net jou eie koninkryk skep! Volhard met plante wat in jou tuin werk. Dis baie duur om te eksperimenteer. Geen tuin behoort sonder 'n water-fokuspunt te wees nie. Dit verrig wondere vir 'n mens se gemoed. In Lydenburg moet 'n mens leer om slim te plant om faktore soos wind en ryp te keer. Groot bome en struike moet só geposisioneer word dat dit dien as buffer tussen omgewingsaanslae en plante wat vatbaar vir toestande soos ryp is. Bron: Internet

THIS excellent story by GG Van Rooyen, Road Test Editor at leisure wheels, was sent to me by Chris Jankowitz. Enjoy! With the petrol price climbing higher, it won't be long before the large naturally aspirated petrol engine is a thing of the past. So let's take a moment to mourn the passing of this automotive icon. The large naturally aspirated petrol engine is on its last breath. If you're a fan of burly V6 (or, heaven forbid, V8) petrol mills, this is obviously very bad news. Running a 4x4 with a 4-litre petrol power plant is now so expensive that even die-hard petrolheads will perhaps have to start embracing the clattering, smoking abomination that is the diesel engine. A naturally aspirated petrol engine is a fantastic thing. lt remains the benchmark by which all engines are measured. There's nothing that can quite replicate its linear power delivery and uplifting sound. ls there anything as wonderful as putting your foot down in a V8-powered automobile and listening to the engine roar as it darts towards the horizon? lt gladdens the heart and stirs the soul. We recently tested the Land Cruiser double cab with the four-litre V6 petrol engine. The moment we set off, we were reminded of why engines like this are so glorious. Thanks to the effortless power and refinement of the engine, the Cruiser was an absolute joy to drive. With a 4,2-litre naturally aspirated oilburner under the bonnet, the Cruiser can be a bit of a chore to pilot. lt is rough around the edges and lacks power. But with that four-litre V6 petrol engine, it offered a surprisingly refined ride, especially for something that is ostensibly a hardcore 4x4. Yet, regrettably, these engines are going the way of the dinosaur. Not only is the global price of oil making them prohibitively expensive to run, but manufacturers are now focusing all their attention on creating f u e l e ff i c i e n t o i l burners that emit low amounts of Co2. The good news, however, is that they are creating some truly marvellous diesel engines, two of which include Porsche's Cayenne Diesel. It is a 4134cc V8 oilburner that offers 281 kW of power and 850 Nm of torque. lt is a great engine - everything a V8 should be. lt delivers its power in linear fashion and growls strikingly when you accelerate. The second engine is in BMW's X6 M50d. lt has a relatively small capacity (2993cc), but thanks to three turbochargers, develops 280 kW of power and 740 Nm of torque. Like the Cayenne's oilburner, it provides loads of oomph and sounds very good. Despite being a V6, it sounds very similar to a petrol V8. 0f course, the main reason these turbocharged diesel engines are becoming so popular is that they not only offer lots of power but also manage to remain fairly economical while doing it. BMW claims that the X6 M50d uses only 7,7 litres of fuel per 100km. That figure may be tough to achieve in real-world conditions, but it isn't far off the mark. There's no denying that the M50d is very frugal. So why should we care that the naturally aspirated petrol engine will soon be as dead as a dodo? Well, because it's tough to shake the feeling that something important is being lost along the way. Whatever it is we're losing, it isn quantifable, but it is nevertheless a significant loss. Why else would companies go to great lengths to replicate that distinctive V8 petrol rumble in their oilburners? Both BMW and Porsche have worked hard to replace that diesel clatter with the smooth purr of a V8. The X6 M50d even employs the audio system to pump V8-like sound into the cabin! lf all we cared about was performance figures, the sound of an engine could be irrelevant. But it's not. We are attracted to the simplicity and elegance of a naturally aspirated V8. lt speaks directly to our soul in the same way that great classical music does. And a diesel engine, even one that is designed to replicate the sound of a petrol V8, can seem joyless and prosaic by comparison. Listening to a diesel engine that's been made to sound like a naturally aspirated petrol powerplant can be like looking at a computer rendering of the Mona Lisa, or listening to a high-quality recording of a long-extinct songbird. Sure, you may find it pleasant, even beautiful, but it also leaves you feeling sad - acutely aware that something intangible yet valuable has been lost. ED: Very true mr. Van Rooyen. I salute you. Wherever I go with my old Chevy SS, everyone wants to listen to that rumble. Driving it defies all logic. It is old, uncomfortable with no luxuries, uses and smells like burning oil, smokes after 43 years and is horrendously heavy on fuel. Much like me. No logic indeed. But I love it. I don’t even know if the old Autodek radio still works, I never listen to it. Just the burbling V8 sound of a real American V8 (mine is actually an Australian Holden), makes me relax and feel comfortable. (By the time of going to press, the Chevy was involved in an accident) Andre Coetzee.
The small block V8 Chevrolet engine dates from 1955 and with small upgrades remains the benchmark for engines to this day.

WOMEN on Wheels (WOW), published by Associated Magazines, recently named the Ford Kuga the best compact SUV in South Africa as part of its 2013 WOW Women's Car of the Year Awards (WCOTY). Over 30 000 votes were cast by readers and combined with the judges' votes to decide the winning cars in 12 categories. Launched in South Africa earlier this year, the Kuga is available with a 1.6L EcoBoost petrol engine, in both manual and SelectShift automatic guise, and a 2.0L TDCi turbo diesel engine with PowerShift automatic transmission. Apart from its fuel efficient engines, the stylish compact SUV combines striking design and functionality with a rewarding driving experience. Smart technology like Ford's voice activated in-car SYNC connectivity system is available as standard while features such as Active Park Assist are available as options on certain models. Active City Stop also ensures a safer driving experience in slow moving traffic. If the traffic ahead should suddenly stop, while moving at speeds less than 30km, the brakes will automatically be applied limiting the potential of a collision. Another favourite is “open sesame” - a hands-free automatic tailgate, allowing customers to open or close the rear tailgate by simply sweeping a foot under the rear bumper. “We're extremely proud to receive this award,” said Ford Marketing Manager Gavin Golightly. “The Kuga has clearly struck a chord with the female market thanks to its smart technologies, fuel efficient engines and versatile packaging.” The Kuga was selected as the winner of its categories after readers votes were assessed and verified by a select panel of judges. On the panel were Liana Reiners, owner and tor publisher of Car and Leisure, the Mail & Guardian motor editor Sukasha Singh, former editor of Avusa's MotorMania Mabuyane Kekana, Wheels24 content producer Janine-Lee Gordon, awardwinning motoring journalist Peta Lee, DStv Ignition's Lindsay Vine and Driving in Heels blogger and managing director Vuyi Jabavu. Charleen Clarke, editor of WOW, comments that the compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) sector is one of the most competitive within the motor industry. "We have seen a plethora of SUV model launches over the past couple of years. As such, this was one of the most hotly-contested sectors within the WOW Car of the Year Awards this year. But the Ford Kuga, with its winning combination of practicality, versatility and style, stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Our readers are especially impressed with its beautiful styling and spacious interior. Safety features are also exceptionally important to WOW readers and the Kuga certainly ticks all the boxes in this department too. It is a well-deserved winner.” “We are absolutely thrilled with the participation of our readers in this competition. Because of the volume of votes, these awards are a real-life indicator of South African women's favourite cars,” said Charleen Clarke, editor of WOW and convener of the WCOTY judging panel. “Each year more readers get involved in voting for their favourite cars, which just goes to show that women are researching and selecting the cars they want to drive.” WOW was distributed with the July issues of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, House and Leisure, and O, the Oprah Magazine while the www.womenonwheels.co.za portal features regular motoring updates. By Email. ED: Once again our test assessment of the Ford Kuga was spot on. We said that it was an excellent vehicle in our test of 23 June p14. In my personal view (a man’s point of view) there is very little between the Ford Kuga and the Volkswagen Tiguan. I believe the two are presently the very best compact SUV’s on the market. If I could buy either one, it would come down to what the dealer does for me (client service), or I would have to flip a coin! Andre Coetzee.
HAVING recently encountered a real problem with an automatic gearbox, I asked a few of my colleagues in the business about the new automatic transmissions on the market - and discovered I was not the only mechanic to encounter problems with these gearboxes. When you have a problem with a modern auto the vehicle has a very clever system that instantly puts the car into a safety or ‘limp home’ mode. What this does is to allow you to drive home, rather slowly, but with minimum damage to the gearbox. There should also be a gearbox fault light that will come on in the instrument cluster. When this happens get the vehicle to the nearest dealership or service centre that can deal with this problem. The petrolheads among us are already aware of the fact that the new auto boxes are mostly electronic, which means the problem can be identified by plugging in a diagnostic machine. There are cases where only a replacement solenoid is required - but in many instances the results are not favourable and a new gearbox is needed. Oil levels in an automatic transmission are very important. When the oil level is low, the gearbox clutches are in danger of slipping, thus leading to clutch failure and ultimately gearbox failure. With all the new technology on the market you would imagine that gearbox failure would be a rarity. This is not the case - but some manufacturers still recommend that the oil in an automatic gearbox should never be changed. I find this a bit confusing because if you changed the oil and gearbox filter at 60 000km intervals, you would extend the life of said gearbox. When I asked manufacturers’ representatives why the oils in the new automatic boxes are never changed, it was claimed that if the oil and filter were changed it would affect the friction ability of the clutches as the wear on the clutches could not be compensated for with the clean oil. The jury is still out on that response. The cost of repair on a modern automatic gearbox can be exorbitant, from R25 000 upward. If the vehicle is under warranty the cost is borne by the manufacturer, provided that all services and repairs have been previously carried out by said manufacturer or dealership, according to the manufacturer’s specifications and service intervals. But if the car is out of its maintenance or service plan, and is not maintained by one of the manufacturer’s dealerships, a huge dent could be put in your monthly budget and holiday savings. So how do you ensure that this does not happen to you? 1. Insist that the gearbox oil level is checked at every service. You will be charged for it if it is not on the service schedule, but it will be worth the cost. 2. Ask that the oil and filter be replaced every 60 000km. On some auto boxes this can cost as much as R4000 but again I believe the cost is worth it. Despite the fact that automatic cars cost a lot more than manual vehicles, they do make driving in peak traffic considerably easier. So more manufacturers are designing ever more complicated gearboxes, with up to nine speeds, and I shudder to think of the financial implications when these gearboxes fail. - Star Motoring Sagie Moodley owns a workshop in Midrand and also presents a radio motoring show with Adam Ford on Mix FM (93.8) from 79pm every Wednesday.

By Sagie Moodley - iol.motoring ED: This is good advice. I lost the auto gearbox on the Chev once, because I towed a huge caravan up the Longtom Pass and the gearbox overheated. In those days the replacement box cost me R5 000, as much as I paid for the car when new. After fitting an auxiliary oil cooler, my problem was solved. An old mechanic taught me a very good trick. Pull the oil dipstick for your car’s gearbox (the oil is usually bright red) and closely smell the oil on the dipstick. If it smells slightly like burned cooking oil, you should urgently have the oil changed. I do this easy job myself about every 50 000 km. If there is no “burnt” smell, you need not be concerned.

HIERDIE week toets ons die splinternuwe Nissan Almera Acenta 1.5 handrat. Laat ek uit die staanspoor sê die vorige Almera was goeie waarde vir geld en het baie goed gedoen in veral die vlootmark. Sy vervanging moet dus groot skoene vol staan. Die nuwe Almera stel nie teleur nie. In terme van die prys van R165 000 vir die vyfspoed handrat en R175 500 vir die outomatiese weergawe, dink ek veral met die handrat, gaan jy nie soveel motor vir jou geld elders kry nie. Kom ek verduidelik: Dit is ’n ruim motor met ’n reuse bagasiebak en die grootste beenruimte agter wat jy sal kry vir selfs dubbel sy prys. Dit het elektriese ruite rondom, sentrale sluit, 15 duim allooiwiele, lugversorging, ’n goeie radio/CD stelsel, ’n waaier met sy eie onafhanklike kontroles agter, ritrekenaar met al die gewone inligting, multifunksie stuurwiel met op en af verstelling, ABS, EBD, BAS, dubbel lugsakke en ISOFIX monterings vir kinderstoeltjies. Kortom, alles wat jy in ’n moderne motor soek is hier, vir die prys van veel kleiner, amper intreevlak motors. Die 1.5 liter enjin maak 73kW en 134Nm. Moet nie dat die syfers jou bekommer nie, dit trek beter as menige 1.6 motors. Ratskakeling is seepglad en remme is goed. Hantering en stabiliteit is goed, selfs teen 160 km/u op ons hobbelrige paaie. Die enjin draai teen 3 500 omwentelinge teen 120 in vyfde en 4 000 opm teen 140 km/u. Ek was werklik verbaas oor die trekkrag en gerief van hierdie motor. Nissan reken die gekombineerde brandstofverbruik is 6.3 l / 100 km, of in gewone taal sowat 15.5 km/l. Ek glo dat as jy mooi ry, jou brandstofverbruik werklik goed sal wees. Wat die voorkoms betref, dink ek Nissan maak vordering. Hulle motors van die afgelope paar jaar was almal goed en funksioneel, maar sou behalwe vir die GT-R en die 370Z nie ’n skoonheidskompetisie wen nie. Die nuwe Almera se skuins dak herinner aan ’n koepeevorm en ek het nog altyd gehou van ’n motor met ’n “boot”. As jy in die mark is vir ’n gesinsmotor, of net ’n ruim motor wat al die boksies tik en wat so bekostigbaar is, sal jy ’n groot fout maak as jy nie die Almera oorweeg nie. Baie goed gedoen Nissan - houvas die prys en hy sal goed verkoop! Andre Coetzee.

From the ground, examine roof tiles to see if any were lost or damaged during winter. If your home has an older roof covering, you may want to start a budget for replacement. The summer sun can really damage roof tiles. Tiles that are cracked, buckled or loose or are missing pieces need to be replaced. Flashing around plumbing vents, skylights and chimneys need to be checked and

Dullstroom Town Council 1936 'n Besoeker aan Dullstroom, mnr. Bert Oosthuizen van Johannesburg, het so ’n paar weke gelede die naweek in Dullstroom spandeer. Hy het die Sondag so ’n bietjie gaan kyk na die gedenktuintjie wat daar is. Ouhoutbossie op die pad na Lydenburg daarenteen, was baie mooi onderhou. Die gedenktuin se grafte was egter in ’n baie swak toestand. Dit is hartseer om die monumente die verlede in so ’n t o e s t a n d vanverwaarlosing te sien.

Karpe byt
Dirk Geldenhuis met sy karp DAAR was 17 hengelaars teenwoordig by die Long Tom Hengelklub se sosiale hengelkompetisie op 17 Augustus. Die vis het nie oral uitgekom nie. Die hengelaars wat baie diep kon gegooi het het darem vis gekry. James Moulder en sy skoonpa Dirk Geldenhuis het ’n mooi klompie bymekaar gemaak. Hulle het saam 24 vis gevang. Daar het nog ’n paar ander karpe uitgekom maar is nie geweeg nie en terug gesit in die dam. Dirk Geldenhuis het ’n mooi karp van 3,4kg gevang. Chris Heymans en Oom Jan Botha het elk twee palings gevang, maar het so groot geskrik dat hulle net die lyne afgesny het, wat te sê van nog weeg. Hulle se die goed is net groot en aaklig. Dit is al wat hulle kon uitkry. Miskien sal hulle volgende keer 'n foto ook neem. Die water was nog baie koud, met die dat die visse dalks nog diep is. Longtom Hengelklub hou elke eerste Donderdag van elke maand hulle maandelikse vegadering en almal is welkom. Die klub hengel kompetisies word dan ook die eerste Saterdag van elke maand gehou. Die hengelplekke is ook klaar uitgesit en word op die vergaderings bevestig. Almal wat belangstel om meer oor al die fasette van hengel te weet, kan die vergaderings bywoon of net die bestuur van die klub kontak en ons sal julle inlig daaroor.
