Dapper Natanja se droom word bewaarheid N
Jay en Lianie by Natanja Dercksen (middel) op haar 19e verjaardag. Lianie tree op 18 Oktober om 19:00 in die Stadsaal op. (Foto: Des Jacobs, krediet Huisgenoot)
ATANJA was vyf toe sy 'n bewonderaar geword het. Eers net van Jay met sy soet stem en later van Jay en Lianie. Sy het nie een van hulle vertonings binne 'n drie uur-radius van Belfast misgeloop nie. Haar ousus Melanie, met haar “dinky toy” blou motortjie, het daarvoor gesorg. Want Natanja was op krukke - gebore met spina bifida, die jongste van vier. Haar ma het haar lewend gebid. En dit was haar ouma, wat nie sommer gewys het hoe sy glo nie, wat die besluit geneem het: "Werk t? é die kind se rug, Liewe Jesus sal vir die res sorg." Dit nadat sy kort na die geboorte die dokter in die gang hoor sê het dat hulle die ruggie moet oop los sodat die ding sy loop moet neem. Dié kinders het tog net 'n geringe oorlewingskans, almal water op die brein en na die operasie is dit net 'n kwessie van tyd ... Haar ma het drie maande lank gevas en gebid. Eers dat sy nie water op die brein moes hê nie, en toe vir genesing. Sy wou vas en bid tot die kind heeltemal genees was. Maar toe sê die ouma dat sy nie so kon aangaan nie, dat sy aan haar eie gesondheid en die ander drie kinders moes dink. Haar eerste gebed is verhoor. Natanja het nie water op die brein gehad nie. Toe die ruggie toegemaak is, kon hulle huis toe gaan omtrent drie maande na die geboorte. Die ma het die bitter klein babatjie se beentjies heen en weer beweeg, haar voetjies uit haar mond gehaal en op instink die skewe lyfie probeer regtrek. Sy het nooit geloop nie. Net soos 'n verlamde hondjie op die grond geskuif, haar klein lyfie gesleep na waar sy wou wees. Toe sy tien geword het, was haar grootste wens om skool toe te gaan. Die boetie en sussies het haar 'n bietjie geleer maar sy wou

regte skool toe gaan. Maar die skoolhoof het nie kans gesien vir 'n kind wat nie kon loop nie, vir die ma gesê daar is spesiale skole vir sulke kinders. Natanja wou net maats hê en het aanhou droom. Tot 'n man met kontakte die skoolhoof omgepraat het om haar 'n kans te gee. Hulle het haar getoets en besef dat sy nogal slim was - en in haar ouderdomsgroep kon inskuif. Sy het krukke gekry en verbete begin oefen. En skool toe gegaan. In standerd drie het die volgende probleem opgeduik: die kinders moes trappe klim na die boonste verdieping toe. En 'n mens kon nie van ander standerd drie's verwag om 'n maatjie se tas te dra nie. Dit was die einde van haar skool toe-ganery. By die huis het sy die groentewinkel se kasregister beman. Sy het klante gelok omdat sy nooit, ooit met 'n suur gesig gesit het nie. En sy was 'n meester agter die kasregister. En Melanie, wat tien jaar ouer was, het seker gemaak dat sy by elke Jay en Lianievertoning uitkom. Soms het hulle ure lank in toue gestaan vir 'n handtekening – Natanja op haar krukke, sonder om te kla. Toe Huisgenoot met die uitnodiging kom dat Jay en Lianie by 'n gelukkige leser se verjaardag sou optree, het dit Natanja se droom geword. En toe haar brief die wenbrief word, was dit 'n antwoord op gebed. En so het dit gebeur dat Jay en Lianie by Natanja se 19e verjaardag net vir haar – en 'n saal vol genooide vriende en familie, kom sing het. Haar sussie het uit Engeland gekom en familie van heinde en ver was daar om die groot geleentheid by te woon. Balrokke en 'n makietie wat die dapper Natanja nooit, ooit sal vergeet nie… Deur Gerda Whitehorn.

Profile on new Station Commander The SAPS in Lydenburg welcomed their newly appointed Station Commander on 1 October. Colonel Mahlodi Gladys Mashabela 's name will also now be written in the history books of Lydenburg town as she is the first female police officer appointed in the post of Station Commander in Lydenburg. She is an energetic, educated, young woman who has come through the ranks and who promises to lead by example. Col. Mashabela grew up in Marble Hall and completed school in 1984. She joined the former Kwandabele Police in 1987. After the amalgamation of police forces in 1994 she became a member of the South African Police Services. She became a commissioned officer in October 2000 and worked at various police stations within Mpumalanga before her appointment in Lydenburg. Her previous post was as Vispol Commander in Acornhoek. The following are some of the questions posed to her by the HIGHLANDS PANORAMA NEWS? What would you regard as the highlight of your career? “The day I was appointed as a commissioned officer and a station commander'' What do you want to achieve in your position / career? “I just want to do my best and will always strive to do the right thing. We are here to protect and serve and that is what I will concentrate on. I will take every day as it comes with its unique challenges.” What are your plans to reduce criminal activities over the upcoming Festive Season, as criminals generally regard December as “shopping season”? “Operation Duty Calls is a National safety strategy and will commence on 15 October. It will continue until the end of January, after the start of the new school year. This year's operations will build on the previous year's lessons and successes. There will also be increased high-visibility patrols in and around Lydenburg as well as on the main routes.” What can we, as the public, do to help the police with their work? “The importance of supplying the police with information c a n n o t b e e m p h a s i z e d e n o u g h . We a r e relying on the public to supply us with information on criminal activities a n d t h e whereabouts of wanted suspects. We also have a suggestion box in the Community Service Centre where the public can anonymously submit their information. The public are regarded as the eyes and ears of the police and by saying that, we urge the community to become part of the police structures such as the Community Policing Forum and Sector Policing. We are also making a plea to the community to take care of their p r o p e r t y . Housebreakings and theft out of motor vehicles are currently a big problem in and around Lydenburg. We cannot be
Colonel Mahlodi Gladys Mashabela negligent and leave valuable property lying around in our vehicles. And we need to mark our property so that it can be easily identified when recovered.” Do you have a message for the community of Lydenburg? “Our plea is for the community to have a good relationship with the police, to stop buying stolen goods and to stay away from drugs, but most importantly to take care of our loved ones and our community. Together we can make a difference in trying to squeeze crime to zero.” Michelle Boshoff.

“Sorry”. Dan is die straf gewoonlik ligter en jy word gou vergewe. Mense vergeet die waarheid gou. Maar deesdae is lieg die norm. Kindertjies lieg vir hulle ma’s as hulle rook of kafoefel. Pa’s lieg vir ma’s as hulle rondloop. Mense lieg vir die polisie of verkeersmanne as hy so gesuip is dat hy staan en slinger. As ek ’n personeellid by die Parkeraad gevang steel het, lieg hy. As jy die videofilm terugspeel en sy gesig daarop sien, lieg hy en sê dat hy nie daardie ou ken LIEG het nou aanvaarbaar geword. Wanneer nommer 1 nie. lieg, is die wêreld reg. Soos met die wapenskandaal. En die Toe ek in 1993 vir my destydse baas vra wat stroois by Ikhandla. En die Gupta pelle se landing. van die TPA gaan word, antwoord hy dat daar Soos Frik Rousseau sê, op skool al het die onnies ons geleer nie in 1994 ’n verkiesing sou wees nie. dat as jy drooggemaak het, praat jy die waarheid en sê Liegstories almal!
Die Outoppie
Lieg is reg
Van ons lieg nou al so goed dat ons onsself glo. Ouboet het gesê party mense lieg selfs as hulle bid. Daar is ’n verskil tussen lieg en ’n goeie Jan Spies tipe storie. ’n Goeie storie is bedoel om te vermaak en nie om jou uit die moeilikheid te kry nie. Die waarheid kan immers nie in die pad staan van ’n goeie storie nie! Maar om blatant vir jou pa, ma, boetie, onderwyser, dominee, bankbestuurder of jou landsburgers te lieg is nie reg nie. Lieg is soos misdaad. Sies! Dit begin onskuldig en word al hoe erger. ’n Gewoonteleuenaar word nie ernstig opgeneem nie. Almal wonder hoeveel hy nou weer lieg. Dit word later so erg dat as die ou in ’n onbesonne oomblik wel die waarheid praat, dink almal nog steeds hy lieg. Jou geloofwaardigheid voor ander mense en jouself is daarmee heen. Jy moet nie eers vir Jan Taks lieg nie!

The first round of the Cansa Relay belonged to the Survivors. Ian Grieve and Christien Claase took part in the march.
Cansa Relay for Life
Survivors Yvonne Kruis and Goody Wilson attended the Cansa Relay. Yvonne is a well known survivor in Lydenburg.
LEFT: Keen supporters of the Cansa Relay for Life were from left Rika Nieuwenhuizen, rev Antoinette Wilson and Alta Nel.
Lydenburg's second Cansa Relay for Life took place on Friday 4 October at Lydenburg High School's rugby field. Teams and supporters joined at six o' clock in the late afternoon – and a handful braved the cold and the night shift ending at seven o' clock on Saturday morning. The organising team, under Isobel Janse van Rensburg, did a sterling job – which certainly deserved a better turnout. The theme was Olympic Games and each team had to select a sport. The Pam Golding's team represented golf and spent the night walking (albeit sleep walking at times) and sharing in the event. ~ Photos by Gerda Whitehorn

V
ir die soveelste keer in my lewe sit ek op spertyd en wonder watter wending my rubriek gaan inneem. Hierdie week kombineer ek my Hoorhierso en ook die Highlands Panorama Nuus se verjaardag. Skryf was nog altyd my kos. Ek het net altyd gedink ek sal dit die maklikste kan regkry by ’n koerant. Maar deur die jare het ek geleer ’n koerant is baie meer as die woorde en advertensies op ’n bladsy. Dis ’n harde werk en party koerantmense sal sê dis ’n ‘ondankbare’ werk. Daar is ’n sekere ‘je ne sais quoi’ (Frans vir onbepaald maar goed) aan koerante, iets waarop jy nie presies jou vinger kan sit nie. Almal het ’n haat of liefde verhouding met ’n koerant. Ek weet dis heel filosofies. Maar hierdie filosofie werk en dis hoekom ons elke week ’n koerant kan uitgee waarin iemand altyd iets sal vind om te lees. Ek was seker op laerskool toe ek die sêding hoor van koerante plaas hul foute op die voorblad vir almal om te sien en dokters begrawe hul foute. En ek dink dis hoekom koerante as werksmedium my al op 10 jarige ouderdom gefassineer het. Newspapers are the written report of a century old game, so to speak, between the workers class and the elite.

Nothing has changed much throughout the centuries. In 2013 it is still newspapers against the elite. In the modern world not against the elite... but against the powers that be, government and sometimes the business sector. It is circle effect. The Highlands Panorama News has made this above statement the truth throughout the years. In another category. The marketing strategy of a business falls in the centre on this 'century old game.' A business must pay attention to newspapers and vice versa. They enjoy a symbiotic relationship. One cannot exist without the other. Die koerant se uniekheid is duidelik uit ons leuse: “Ons praat nog steeds jou taal.” There is no other medium that can summerize the feeling of a community like a newspaper. And that is why we thank everyone who made a contribution to the paper throughout the past 10 years. The paper for the community, by the community. By Michelle Boshoff, EDITOR.

SO teen middel 2003 het ek besef die nuwe administrasie in die staatsbestel gaan nie werk nie en het ek na 32 jaar diens in Natuurbewaring na ’n alternatief begin soek. Wyle Quintus Loots (Genis van koöperasiestories op TV se seun) was sonder werk en ek, hy en Pine Pienaar het begin gesels. Teen September van daardie jaar was ons gereed en in Oktober 2003 is die Highlands Panorama Nuus as BK geregistreer. Ek het die kapitaal voorsien vir ’n rekenaar, ’n kamera, ses maande se kantoor- en woonstelhuur vir Quintus en die deposito op ’n tweedehandse Nissan 1400 bakkie. Quintus was die koerantman met jare se ervaring. Hy was joernalis, redakteur en het die eerste advertensies begin smous, dikwels te voet. Pine was boekhouer en het die maatskappy se registrasie, belastingsake ens behartig. Ek was die eerste 3 jaar die “silent partner”en het saans en na ure (want ek was steeds by die Parkeraad) betalings gemagtig en help beplan en koerant uitlê. Dit het goed gegaan. Na ses maande kon die koerant die huur en drukwerk self bekostig. Salarisse was klein en die werk baie. Met die ekonomiese opswaai rondom 2006/7 kon ons ons eie kantoorgebou en eerste nuwe bakkie koop. Ek het bedank by die Parkeraad, met die helfte van my destydse salaris klaargekom en ons personeel het gegroei. Q is op 21 Mei 2010 oorlede. Ons het van meet af aan ’n beleid gevolg van goeie nuus, storietjies oor ons eie mense, skole, kerke en welsynsbehoeftes plaaslik. En dit het vrugte afgewerp. Die gemeenskappe van Lydenburg, Burgersfort en Steelpoort was en is nog steeds, baie goed vir ons. Behalwe vir ons drukwerk, ondersteun ons plaaslik en bly bestee ons ons geld plaaslik. Ons is eie aan hierdie area en word nie besit deur ’n groot konglomeraat van buite nie. Ons storietjies oor plaaslike mense se lief en leed, hulle persoonlike prestasies, die doen en late van die VLU dames, Rusoord, Lelievlei en nuus oor ons kinders mag dalk nie sensasie wees nie, maar ons is hier vir ons gemeenskap en sy mense. En dit is duidelik dat die gemeenskap ons dra. Soveel so dat ons in die huidige swaar tye kan oorleef en vandeesmaand ons 10-jarige bestaan kan vier. Ons het in die tyd op ’n kol tweekeer per week verskyn (Woensdae en Vrydae), ons het ’n eie koerant op Dullstroom begin en allerlei dinge gedoen om te groei. Helaas het baie van die planne nie gewerk nie (hier is per slot van sake net ’n sekere hoeveelheid mense wat by ons adverteer) en moes ons konsolideer. Vandag produseer ons elke week ’n koerant met gemiddeld 20 bladsye gemeenskapsnuus en ons lewer persoonlik met drie voertuie elke Donderdag by meer as 400 besighede, 9 000 koerante af. Ons is BEE en BTW geregistreer, ABC geoudit, behoort tot die AIP en verskeie ander onafhanklike media fora, word nasionaal deur Capro met advertensies ondersteun en doen ons eie ding. Ons het ’n uitstekende werkverhouding met die Lydenburg Laerskool en hulle pragkoerant die “Kletskous”, verskyn elke kwartaal by ons. Ons publiseer ook Tom Middleton se “Out and About” buitelewekoerant elke maand. Ons hoogs professionele en vriendelike personeel is aan almal van u bekend en ons bly tot u diens. Dankie aan al ons ondersteuners, die personeel en ons Almagtige Vader vir die goeie tye! Met julle hulp gaan ons voort met die werk! Besoek gerus ook ons webtuiste of ons Facebook blad. Andre Coetzee.
CMR Lydenburg wil van die geleentheid gebruik maak om die Highlands Panorama geluk te wens met die viering van hul 10de verjaardag. Mag daar nog 10 jaar van goeie diens en gehalte leesstof wees, ons vier die mylpaal saam met jul.
Mag die volgende10 jaar nog meer voorspoed en geluk vir jul inhou. Dankie vir jul hulp, ondersteuning, motivering en altyddaar-wees, wanneer Die Kletskous jul nodig het. Dit word opreg waardeer.
BOSCH Car Service en Monati Events het Saterdag op Lydenburg ’n geslaagde “Drags & Drifting day” aangebied, naby Buco in strate wat toegemaak was vir die dag. Die dag was goed georganiseer en veiligheidsmaatreels is oral toegepas. Met die reuk van vliegtuigbrandstof en gepynigde bande swaar in die lug, het VW Polo en “box” BMW’s oor 400 meter teen mekaar meegeding. Daar was ’n Golf bakkie met ’n superaanjaer, ’n Polo met ’n turbo so groot soos Steelpoort, ’n ou Opel Ascona met ’n Mazda rotorenjin en baie ander erg getoorde voertuie. Dit was duidelik dat motorsport dik loop in Lydenburg en dat hier voertuie in die dorp is, waarmee mens nie moet sukkel nie. Wel gedaan manne en dames, kom ons maak hierdie ’n gereelde ding. Dit hou die “jaagduiwels” uit die dorp uit, en dit maak die sport aanskoulik en toeganklik vir almal. Andre Coetzee

SEPTEMBER vehicle sales were a little lower due to fewer trading days and due to the facts mentioned on the right of this article. Top sellers (RSA and export figures combined) were: Toyota Volkswagen Ford General Motors Nissan BMW Mercedes Benz Honda Renault Chrysler
11 664 10 543 7 090 5 300 4 923 3 014 2 797 1 312 1 302 850
THE SA motor industry is beleaguered by many problems. They relate to industry wide strikes, shortages of products, new strikes by outside parts manufacturers and massive recalls. This has led to orders from buyers being cancelled and the manufacturers not being able to supply and deliver on export contracts. Meanwhile recalls occur all over to rectify faults. Jeep has recalled thousands of SUV’s due to fire risk, transmission leaks and other faults. BMW is recalling something like 5 500 series 3 and series 5 cars due to brake system glitches. Jaguar is recalling hundreds of XF and XJ models, Landrover hundreds of Freelanders and Nissan some 7 000 Micras to retorque a steering bolt. The effect is of course that all of this eats
into their profits and delivery schedules. If you have a Toyota Landcruiser V8, or a Nissan NP 200 or several other makes and models on order, you have to be patient. It even affects me. I would like to bring my driving impressions on the Cruiser V8 to my readers, but finding one to test for just 2 hours, is impossible. And because I wanted a specific colour and specification level, I had to wait almost 2 months for my new NP 200. However, all good things come to those who wait and we are confident that business will normalise and get back to “business as usual” The positive news of course is that we are seeing many new models on our market. The V8 Cruiser, Nissan Almera and Nissan Sentra, to name but a few locals. Andre Coetzee.
Passenger car best sellers were: Toyota Etios (2 358), Toyota Corolla & Auris combined (1 005), VW Polo (2 634) VW Polo Vivo (2 435) Ford Figo (1 690), Ford Fiesta (836), Chev Spark (718), Chev Cruze (592), Nissan Micra (495), Nissan Almera (460), BMW 3-series (783), Mercedes C-class (859), Honda Brio (327), Renault Clio (684), Jeep Grand Cherokee (295). One ton light commercial sales were Toyota Hilux (2 739), Ford Ranger (1 435), Isuzu KB (1 049), Mazda BT 50 (202), Mahindra Bolero (115), Mitsubishi Triton (125), Nissan Hardbody NP 300 (836), Nissan Navara (261), Toyota Landcruiser Pickup (303), VW Amarok (389). Light commercial sales were Chevrolet Ute (1 329) and Nissan NP 200 (726). SUV sales included Toyota Fortuner (821) Jeep Grand Cherokee (295), Ford Kuga (299), Chevrolet Trailblazer (283), Honda CR-V (315), Mercedes M Class (204), Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (92), Nissan Juke (356), Renault Duster (183). Sales figures for Kia and Hyundai vehicles are not supplied to Naamsa and are therefore unavailable. From all of the above, it remains clear that price is the main driver in the market (Etios, Figo, VW Polo). This is also evident in Nissan Almera (brand new) and Renault Duster (also new) sales figures. Thank you to Fanie Erasmus for supplying the figures. Andre Coetzee.

THE GWM C20R was recently launched in South Africa and our short stint with this quirky hatchback has taught us that most preconceptions regarding Chinese cars could well be cast aside. For one, no longer can we accuse (some of) these manufactures of being outright copycats. The C20R, while borrowing some styling cues from other B-segment hatchbacks, is still fresh and funky in it's own right. It has a good-looking front end, with a smart, but almost smiley-faced, grille and airdam treatment along with integrated foglamps and an SUV-style scuff plate. The profile is given a more purposeful look thanks to the increased ride height (a total 172 mm), roof rails, and black wheel arches that house 16-inch alloy wheels. The interior is equally impressive with neatly laid out controls, chrome-look accents that lift the ambience and two-tone imitation leather. I was impressed with the almost European look of it all and the quality of fit and finish is of a good standard. Many of the Chinese vehicles that have come before this one have let us down when it comes to the powerplant and their gearbox have always left us wanting. It's one of those things you keep in your mind every time you take delivery of another “made-in-China” vehicle. So, when I decided to take the C20R for a weekend to pile on as much mileage as possible (we received it on a low 400-odd kms and I wanted to loosen things up a bit), I was hoping for the best, but preparing to be disappointed. But that was not the case. Power comes from a 1,5-litre VVT unit that delivers 77 kW at 6 000 r/min and torque of 138 N/m at 4200 r/min. Admittedly, it takes some work to really get going as you have to work the engine and the five-speed manual 'box to reach that 4 200 r/min sweet spot where the maximum torque comes into play. I didn't mind it all that much, though. The gearing is short and the engine is eager to rev, so I found it to be a lively little car. You would think that working the engine like this would impact on fuel consumption, but we were able to match GWM's claimed figure of 7,7-litres/100 km in our real-world fuel test. It's just slightly higher than a similarly packaged VW Polo Vivo Maxx. The C20R comes packed with standard features such as air-conditioning, an MP3compatible audio system with auxiliary and USB inputs, electric windows all around, rake adjustment on the steering column, front and rear foglamps, park distance sensors at the rear and steering wheelmounted audio controls. GWM has also thrown in a three-year / 45 000 kms service plan and a three-year / 100 000 km warranty as standard, making the C20R a good value-for-money proposition. I will admit that I was quite taken by this vehicle. It's a clear indication of how far the company has moved along when it comes to the development of its vehicle engineering. The thing that stands out the most for me, however, is the pricing. With a price tag of R154 900, the C20R isn't the “cheap alternative”. It's right up there with its competitors (the Renault Sandero Stepway is R149 900 and the Vivo Maxx is R164 300). It shows that GWM believes that this product has what it takes to compete with the market favourites. And I do too. The C20R is a vehicle that has the potential to change people's pre-conceived ideas about the brand and maybe all Chinese vehicles. Personally, I think the Chinese are about to give the other manufacturers a run for their money. Things are about to get interesting. www.carmag.co.za
THE Highlands Panorama News is 10 years old this month. We started the business with first one, and later a second pre-owned Nissan 1400 bakkie. When the 1400 was written off due to an accident, we bought Quintus Loots his first brand new bakkie, a “CAT yellow” 1400 Base Corsa Ute. Later we added a maroon 1.7 Dti diesel Corsa Ute Sport and later still a 1800 Sport Corsa Ute. The three Corsas were a well known sight, especially on our three delivery routes on Thursdays. Last year we replaced the diesel (almost 200 000km) with a new Chevrolet Utility 1400 Club (silver). This year the yellow bakkie, which served without any problems for 200 000 km and did the weekly Joburg route to get the papers here (a full 800 kg load every week) had to be replaced. Since all the local motor dealers support us, and we had recently bought a new Chevy Ute, I had to consider something else. I opted for a new Hi Spec Nissan NP 200 SE 1600 (16 valve). This bakkie is also my personal transport and I use it for amongst others, my delivery route on Thursdays. Of course comparisons with our Corsas (four over 10 years) are necessary. Firstly, the Nissan can carry a slightly heavier load. Due to the 16 valve motor, if you are prepared to rev it, it is as fast as the 1800 Corsa on the open road. There is less torque on the uphills though. Gearing is lower (engine revs higher) than on the Corsa, but similar to that of the new Chev Ute, so fuel consumption is similar (poorer than the 1800 Corsa on the open road but slightly better in town). The Nissan's engine turns at 3 750 rpm @ 120 and 4 750 @ 150 km/h. The Nissan comes with 2 airbags, ABS with EBD, electric windows, remote central locking, power steering (hydraulic, which is better) electric mirrors, cup holders and aircon. There is a Blaupunkt radio / CD without USB and iPod in. There is no ash tray and no lighter. There is no vanity mirror on the driver side sunvisor. I do not like the window winder switches on the dashboard, but I am getting used to it. Following delivery, the bakkie would refuse to start from time to time. This was traced to a faulty earth and was efficiently sorted out by Longtom Nissan. On the positive side, the clutch, brakes and especially the gearchange is lighter and much
better to use than on the Corsa. It is better priced than Ute (important in today's economic climate). Nissan also is much better looking. Brakes are very good. The two main instrument clusters are neater, more visible and better than on Corsa. Steering is light and precise, but the wheel is not adjustable and there are no remote steering controls for sound. The NP 200 gets off the mark briskly, but you have to watch the rev counter, due to the low initial gearing and shift up briskly. You can even pull off in second gear. Engine revs are as mentioned high at high speed, but the 16 valve motor loves this. The bakkie is stable and feels safe even at 150 km/h. With a light load, it rides very comfortably. Handling in the twisties at speed is very good. Steering is direct and you have to be fully awake though! Quality feel is not as good as on (Opel) Corsa, but is better than on Chev Ute. The new warranty on the NP 200 is however at six years, the best in class and gives one peace of mind. What I like most about the NP 200 is with the seat adjusted high, the driving position is superb. Controls are a pleasure and the bakkie is nimble and quiet at speed. So, which do I prefer? The Opel Corsa was an unqualified success, but has been replaced by the Chevy Ute. There is very little between the NP 200 and the new Ute. The Nissan is better looking and drives better than the Ute. The Ute is slightly better equipped (Sport vs SE). The Ute is more expensive and the NP 200 has a better warranty. My experience with the local DP's, sales and service departments of both Westvaal Mashishing (Chev / Opel / Isuzu) and Longtom Nissan (Nissan) has been excellent. I can recommend both, but whatever you do, test drive both. After 1 000 km and a bit of customisation costing less than R 10 000 (see pics) I enjoy the NP 200 and I am confident that I will derive as much pleasure from it, as I have with the Corsa bakkies. I can seriously recommend the Nissan. Andre Coetzee.
Pin- striping, wheels, nudge bar, tow bar, perspex protectors, Nismo badges and driving lights are aftermarket items. The SE bakkie comes with alloy wheels, but I replaced them to individualise the vehicle. The radio left below, is a replacement unit with DVD, touch screen, reverse camera, USB / iPod and SD card inputs, available from Alli’s Electronics near Pick n Pay in town, and installed by Falcon.
