Dawie de Swardt met 'n Rooiborssuikervoël. Dit is een van die bekendste plekke ter wêreld waar hierdie voëltjies gevind word en dit is baie spesiaal. Dawie de Swardt is 'n Ornitoloog by die Bloemfontein Universiteit. Die foto is geneem by Paardeplaats (naby die Jesus-koppie) deur Gerda Whitehorn, Vrydag toe Dawie besig was met sy navorsing. Hierdie is baie spesiale navorsing en getuienis oor hoe ernstig natuurliefhebbers is oor die bewaring van unieke spesies in die omgewing.

A huge accident occurred about 15km outside Lydenburg on the Burgersfort Road around 19:00 on Friday. A Ford Fiesta was on its way to Lydenburg and went off the road. The car was found on top of a tree. The driver passed away and the passenger survived. He was admitted to Lydenburg Hospital. The driver was from the Free State and the passenger from Leroro. (The Highlands Panorama News reported on the bad condition of this road on 13 February). - Michelle Boshoff

Mnr Eugene Gouws, eienaar van Platinum Properties, het die afgelope week halt geroep en sy mense wat vir hom werk aangesê om die slaggate, wat oppad is na sy verhurings-eiendomme, te vul. Die mense wat die “berugte- slaggat -pad” gebruik naamlik Bergstraat het breed geglimlag en almal het gewaai en baie dankie gesê vir die werkers wat hulle gestop het sodat hulle versigtig om die mense kan ry wat besig was met die opvullings.

Reën... eerder watter reën W

AAR bly die reën? Lydenburg beleef tans ’n ongekende droogte. Die langtermyn (33 jaar) gemiddelde reënval vir Januarie is 124.3mm. Hierdie Januarie het ons slegs 53.5mm in die dorp

aangeteken. Die langtermyn gemiddeld vir Februarie is 89.4mm en tot op 17 Februarie is slegs 19mm aangeteken. Die laagste reënval vir Januarie is in 2002 gemeet, nl. 21.8mm. Uit die 33 jaar se gerekenariseerde rekords waaroor ek beskik, is daar slegs in vier gevalle laer syfers as hierdie jaar aangeteken, nl in 1993, 1994, 2001 en 2002, wat nogal die 10-jaar reënsiklus teorie onderskryf. Die hoogste syfer vir Januarie was in 2006 nl. 255.7mm. Die probleem word vererger deur die feit dat ons in die periode Augustus tot Desember 2013 ook relatief min reën aangeteken het.

Baie teorieë bestaan oor wat aangaan. Dit wissel van sikliese (normale) rofweg 10 jaar reënpatrone tot klimaatsverandering. Indien mens kyk na die droogtes in die Vrystaat en

Noordwes, lyk dit egter asof klimaatsverandering tog ’n rol speel. Reënpatrone in Gauteng dui weer op hoër as normale reënval. Ons barometer lesings op Lydenburg bly wissel tussen die gemiddeld van 1014 tot 1017 hPa (vir seevlak aangepas). Dit is ’n werklike lesing van ongeveer 862 mB. Vir goeie reën het ons ’n volgehoue lae druk van sowat 859mB vir ’n paar dae nodig. Ja, ons bly in ’n snaakse wêreld! Andre Coetzee.

Begraafplaas in walglike toestand e us Ho

a bre

IE Lydenburg Begraafplaas is met tye in ’n goeie toestand en ander kere kan besoekers dit nie waag om daar in te gaan nie. Soos almal weet behoort ’n bedrag in die begroting eenkant gehou te word vir die instandhouding hiervan. Maar op ’n onlangse besoek aan haar seuntjie se graf het me. Monique Jacobs van Lydenburg weer gemerk hoe afgeskeep dit lyk. Die gras is geweldig lank en mens kan nie eens die grafstene sien as mens in die begraafplaas se pad staan nie. Alles is behoorlik toegegroei. Dis moeilik om te glo dat mense tydens begrafnisse veilig tussen die grafte kan beweeg. Dit lyk behoorlik soos ’n veld langs die pad. In ander dorpe is die begraafplase altyd so netjies en groen en skoon, soos dit hoort. Verskeie mense besoek die begraafplaas om vir hul geliefdes te gaan kuier maar dis so onaangenaam en slordig daar dat mens nie eens behoorlik kan loop en jou geliefde se graf sien nie. Dit laat die vraag ontstaan of dit werklik soveel moeite is om nou-en-dan die gras te sny. Die gate vir grafte wat reeds gegrawe is, word ook nie behoorlik toegemaak nie, en mense kan maklik daarin trap en inval.

Victims of crime suffer left, right and centre Michelle Boshoff Capt M. A. Mashabela confirmed that the number of housebreakings were unacceptably high for Lydenburg and Mashishing’s residential areas this past month. The SAPS have increased night patrols and this intervention has already borne fruit, especially in burglary cases. There has been a decline in reports of house breaking since these interventions. He personally gave a few tips that everyone should adhere to: • Get to know your neighbours. Walk around your yard during the day and see if there is anything amiss or out of place. • Start a neighbourhood watch. The Community Policy Forum (CPF) is there to support the community in strategic crime prevention. They will assist residents who want to start a neighbourhood watch, street committee etc. The CPF is always alerted by the police of residential areas that are targeted. Residents should not take criminals on by themselves, they must always alert the police. • Stop buying stolen items. This is a huge problem in town. It promotes burglary. Remember you can expose criminals anonymously. • It is very important to watch out for the people who live next to you and support each other. Report any strange movements of people and cars in the streets to the SAPS immediately. The SAPS has warned that residents should also be aware of their gardeners and workers. While they are working please lock the gates and ask them to be alert too. Capt M. A. Mashabela said that the SAPS urges the community that they must also play a part in protecting their property.

P 6 Februarie het die Highlands Panorama Nuus berig oor riool wat op grasperke uitloop. Rivierstraat Lydenburg was al verskeie kere die slagoffer van riool en moet noodgedwonge daarmee saamleef wanneer Thaba Chweu niks daaraan doen nie. Dis nou twee weke later. Dinsdag was TCM se verskoning die pomp is stukkend. Met ander tye bring hulle glo ’n masjien om die pype skoon te maak. Inwoners het nou ’n sloot gegrawe wat direk na die rivier loop. Higiëne, die stank, ongemak en vieslike nagevolge daarvan om met ander se riool op jou grasperk saam te leef is onaanvaarbaar. ~ Michelle Boshoff

Feedback from DA on Thaba Chweu irregularities Mr Anthony Benadie, DA Provincial Leader, writes after and inquiry from the Highlands Panorama News: Mpumalanga Landfill Site: We visited the site, we will once again lay charges in terms of the NEMA and follow up with the SAPS Provincial Commission to find out what happened to previous charges. Sewer Spills: DA members will take this matter forward. We are also going to be laying charges in terms of this. R1 land: I will report this matter to the public protector and ask the AG to investigate, we need to have this transaction overturned. Electricity: We have already gone to the

HRC to lay a complaint about the fact that electricity cuts are only happening for White, Coloured and Indian residents.

ELKE jaar in Februarie kom die Valentyn storie op. Paartjies koer skielik vir mekaar soos duifies en almal koop rooi hartjies, blommetjies en choklitjies. Siestog. En dit terwyl die moer oral los is! Nou ja, ek is al dikwels daarvan beskuldig dat ek ’n grotman en ’n onromantiese buffel is.

ie kelner bring die gereg. Die kliënt sit terug, draai sy / haar kop skuins. Daar is groot verwarring. Die kelnder word ingelig dat hy / sy ’n reuse fout begaan het. Dit is nie wat die kliënt bestel het nie. Dit moet onmiddellik teruggeneem word. Die kelner lees sy / haar notas terug van die bestelling: “Jy het gesê jy soek ’n bietjie steak en skyfies en ’n bietjie slaai.” Maar die kliënt verstaan dit nie. Wag... voor ek hierdie rubrieklesers ook laat kop skuins draai. Die trefwoord hier is ‘bietjie’. ’n Baie goeie vriendin van skooldae het op 8 Februarie verjaar. En ek vra toe wat hulle gaan doen om haar verjaardag te vier. Sy sê toe: “Ons gaan ’n bietjie uiteet.” Omdat ek ’n weeklikse rubriek skryf moes ek net hierdie ‘bietjie uiteet’ uitlig. Hoe gaan eet mens ’n bietjie uit? Bietjie is tog nie ’n werkwoord nie. Genade, verbeel jou ’n kelnder is regtig so skerp en bring dan jou bestelling soos jy gevra het. Slegs een skyfie, een tamatiepit, ’n slaaiblaar so groot soos ’n lepel en ’n soortgelyke porsie vleis. Ek glo nie ons sal so ’n skerp kelner kry wat nog sy / haar werk wil behou nie. In ’n perfekte wêreld sal woorde reg gebruik word. Maar ons leef nie in ’n perfekte wêreld nie. Spelfoute grief my so op Facebook dat ek letterlik van die bladsy moet afgaan om die mens nie te korrigeer nie. Want dan gaan die gort gaar wees. Niemand wil vertel word dat hulle ’n woord verkeerd spel nie. En glo my ek is een van hulle. Moet my ook asseblief nie vertel dat ek foute maak nie, dis nie vir my snaaks nie. Wel... dis seker deel van die koerant. Maar die ‘bietjie uiteet’ het my doodeenvoudig ‘gegooi’. Soos jongmense van vandag sal sê. Vir eers ’n bietjie totsiens!

Sug. En ek dink ek is nogal ’n nice outjie! Hoe moet ek nou voel? Ding is, ek en ma is al baaaaaie lank getroud, sonder ernstige probleme. As ek nou skielik vir haar blomme koop, gaan ek geklap raak. Want sy sal wonder wat het ek nou verkeerd gedoen? Sy is kapabel en dink ek was stout of ontrou of het ’n skuldige gewete. Ek kan ook nie sjokolade koop nie, want dit gee haar migraine. En wie wil nou op Valentynsaand ’n migraine hê? So ek speel veilig. Ek handhaaf ’n lae profiel. Ek koop niks en sê niks.

Inteendeel, ek is so stil soos ’n buldozer. Ek raas net as ek... Jy weet mos! Maar Valentynsdag is goed vir besigheid. Ordentlike ouens koop blomme. Hulle koop sweeties. Hulle vat vir ma uit vir ’n ete. En die ouens wat al hierdie dienste en produkte aanbied, maak ’n geldjie. En hulle adverteer in my koerant. Goed vir besigheid ja. Miskien moet ek bietjie terugploeg en ma uitvat vir ’n etetjie. Maar hoe doen ek dit sonder om agterdog te wek, in die moeilikheid te kom en dalk geklap te raak? Help!

Geveerde vriende is ‘suiker-soet’ Garth McGee, Links: een van die Janine borge by Goosen Dawie de meet ’n Swardt met ’n baba eksemplaar Kaapse van Handbook kliplyster of the Birds of se vlerkthe World, span. waaraan Dawie help skryf het. DAWIE de Swardt loop al ’n langpad saam met die Rooiborssuikervoël. As skoolseun het hy in die Longtompas dié skaam voëltjie met die rooiborsie en die geel onder sy lang stert in die proteas opgemerk. Hy het ook gesien dat hulle soms dorp toe kom en ook van aalwyne hou. En hy’t geweet dis wat hy vir ’n lewe wil doen – voëls bestudeer. Vandag is hy hoof van die Departement Ornitologie aan die Nasionale Museum in Bloemfontein, en sy passie is nog net so aan die brand soos kleintyd. En die wêreld se ornitoloë weet dat daar min is wat by hom kan kers vashou as dit by suikervoëls kom. Hy is ook gevra om die familiegeskiedenis van dié voëls op te teken in Volume 13 van die koffietafel-boek Handbooks of the Birds of the World wat in 2008 deur Lynx Edicions in Spanje gepubliseer is. Sy navorsing het in 1980 begin en sy projek oor die rooiborssuikervoëls in 1987. Die Jesuskoppie op die Longtompas is een van sy gunsteling spots, sê Dawie. Hier vang hy al om die ander jaar voëltjies in nette, bering, meet en weeg hy hulle vir ’n internasionale data-lys.

Andre Coetzee se rede omdat hy en ander natuurliefhebbers bygedra het tot Dawie de Swardt se borgskap: Enige natuurbewaringsprojek lê my na aan die hart. Ek het in 1975 by die visserye begin werk en was direk betrokke by die vestiging van forelplase in die Badfontein en Machododorp-streke en het dwarsoor die ou Transvaal forel in geskikte waters geplaas (Lydenburg, Sabie, Roossenekal, Dullstroom, Maloneys Eye, Haenertsburg, Tzaneen ens.) In my 32 jaar in natuurbewaring het ek Dawie as jong student daagliks sien stap na De Kuilen (Sterkspruit) vir sy praktiese studies. Lydenburg se voëls is vir my baie belangrik. My oorlede skoonpa se huis regoor ons s'n, is beplant met aalwyne en die suikervoëls het elke jaar daar kom kuier. Dit was een van Dawie se vang- en ringplekke. Ek is trots op hierdie Lydenburg-klong wat homself so skitterend bekwaam het in sy veld. Hy verdien elke druppel steun wat ons hom kan gee!

En danksy die bydraes van plaaslike sakelui Dawie bedank graag almal wat hierdie natuurGarth McGee, Highlands Panorama, erefenis, wil bewaar. Highlands Panorama Paardeplaats Nature Retreat, Highland Run en Nuus-lesers wat meer van sy navorsing wil 'n borg by die Departement op die Visserye wat anoniem wil bly, kon hy weer so maak. Oppad het hy vir Janine Goosen in Welkom, sy jongste beringingstudent opgelaai, wat 500 voëls moet bering voordat sy as beringer kan kwalifiseer. Suikervoëls moenie met Suikerbekkies (soos Jangroentjies) verwar word nie. Die Rooiborssuikervoël (Gurneys Sugarbird in Engels) het ’n gesplete tong met ’n tongpunt soos ’n kwassie. Die geslagte het dieselfde verekleed, maar die mannetjie se stert is langer. Daar is net twee spesies van hierdie suikervoël in ons land – die Rooibors in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, die Oos-Kaap en Oos-Vrystaat, en die Kaapse suikervoël in die Wes-Kaap tot so ver oos as Port Elizabeth. Toe Biologie-onderwyseres me. Carin Davis het saam met ’n groep leerlinge en ’n dapper ma, Rentia Olckers, Saterdagoggend vroeg saam die navorsing betrag.

Dié gewilde Afrikaanse sanger veroorsaak groot opskudding in die musiekbedryf. Van 'n klein begin in Hatfield, Pretoria tot 'n Guiness Wêreldrekord, sing Adam Afrikaans met sy “Rock” ondertoon menigte se harte warm. Nes enige nuwe musikant het Adam alleen in Hatfield se kuierplekke opgetree en so sy stempel onder veral die studente gedruk. Adam het nie net ’n warm stem nie, maar ook ’n talentvolle skrywershand. Die liedjies op sy albums is oorspronklike treffers wat hy self geskryf het. Slegs vyf liedjies op al vier sy albums is nie sy eie skeppings nie. As gekwalifiseerde wildbewaarder, teël Adam en sy pa nyalas, swartwitpense (Sables), skoon Oos-Afrika buffels, ens. Verder is die sanger baie beskeie en glo sukses lê in vroeg opstaan en laat gaan slaap, asook om twee keer harder as jou grootste teenstander te werk. Hy is altyd eerste om 'n grappie te maak en is trots daarop dat hy eerste in sy Graad 1 klas gestaan het. Die sanger is goed op pad om al sy drome te verwesenlik en sal graag saam met die voorsanger van Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler wil optree. Maar tot dan sal hy nie rus tot hy meer albums as Steve Hofmeyer en Theuns Jordaan saam verkoop het nie. Met 'n nuwe album en 'n besonderse liefde vir Afrikaanse musiek kan 'n mens nog groot dinge van Adam Tas verwag. Adam Tas tree by Lydenburg Stadsaal op, Saterdag 1 Maart 2014 om 18:30 vir 19:00.

AMA Wheelies is both a home and rehabilitation centre for individuals with spinal injuries. Traumatic accidents cause severe neck injuries to the spinal cord, causing paralysis & dramatically changing lives. After becoming disabled, they are left with their families who lack the knowledge or ability to take care of them. Accidents causing paralysis are more common these days. Government help is minimal. Quadriplegics have special needs, expensive medicines and appliances not covered by medical aid, hence the need for our special home that urgently requires your financial help. The small home in a cottage opened on 27 November 2010, although unable to accommodate all our members for presently only three members live on the farm, forming the skeleton required to function as a special home and rehabilitation centre to act as a model and example where families can come for training. Training is the base for our outreach and training programs, educating and enabling quadriplegics living on their own to empower themselves providing meaningfull lives. This quadriplegic home is the first of its kind in the entire Mpumalanga Province; and proposed to accommodate 16 individuals and reach another 29 with our home based outreach providing much needed help in the province. Ama Wheelies managed to train 15 thus far and hope to find a sponsor with job development projects. The Ricky Faber concert 12 May at the Lydenburg High school will greatly assist the Ama Wheelies, enabling further planning and training. Please attend on 12 May and support Ama Wheelies in Mpumalanga. Apart from Ama Wheelies there is no home for quadriplegics.

Rianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Love Tour is coming to town JACARANDA FM, South Africa's only privately-owned commercial radio station to broadcast in the four northernmost p ro v i n c e s n a m e l y, G a u t e n g , Mpumalanga, North-West and Limpopo is taking the station directly to their Mpumalanga and Limpopo listeners, from 16 February 2014 to 1 March 2014. The bold idea now called 'Rian's Love Tour' sprouted from an eager Limpopo listener's call-in to Rian and his Complimentary Breakfast Team asking when last they had visited Bela Bela. The unexpected call caused much excitement, prompting fellow listeners to call the station with more visit requests, from the smallest dorpie in Limpopo to Mpumalanga's capital city, Nelspruit. Rian and the team felt that there was no better way to honour their faithful supporters, but to hit the road, stopping off in various towns to thank the fans for their support over the last 28 years. As a result, station management have decided to send the entire Complimentary Breakfast Team: Rian van Heerden, Dianne Broodryk, Robbie Kruse, Thabiso Khambule and MalJan on the Jacaranda FM Love Tour. The Love Tour will see live outside broadcasts every morning from 6-9am, as well as lunches with the locals in the smaller towns. Meet-and-greet opportunities with the Jacaranda FM team will be followed by evening entertainment in the shape of pub quizzes and competitions which are open to the public. Rian van Heerden gave an idea of what visiting listeners can expect on the tour, 'This

is by far the biggest and most exciting campaign that I've been involved in. That excitement and energy will definitely be felt in the personal interactions with our regional audiences. We'd love to meet and get to know as many listeners as possible during the tour, so I urge all listeners to come say hi to the team when we're in your neck of the woods.'

’n GROEP studente van die Universiteit van Duitsland het by Saint Pie kom kuier die afgelope week. Groot opgewondenheid het geheers, want al hierdie studente is "Food Tech" studente. Me. Natasha Joubert (algemene bestuurder) het hulle alles van Saint Pie se beginskoene tot nou vertel en hulle toe in die bekwame hande van me. Lettie Mdlalose (produksie bestuurder) en Itumeleng Mbele (Food Tech) gelaat vir die toer deur Saint Pie, waarna hulle getrakteer is op warm gebakte pasteie. Die studente se oë het groot gerek en daar was hope vrae waarmee hulle vir Lettie gebombardeer het. Sy het hulle breed laat glimlag met haar fyn sin vir humor met elke antwoord. Dat studente tot in Duitsland van Saint Pie, Lydenburg weet maak al ons Lydenburgers net nog meer trots. Welgedaan (of in Duits “Gut Gemacht”) Saint Pie en al julle werknemers.

SWEDISH supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg has just released a teaser image of its forthcoming One:1 hypercar ahead of the model’s official debut at the Geneva Motor Show. While the One:1 features what is essentially the same shell that the more recent Agera boasts, what immediately sets it apart is the huge rear wing support by dual fins that extend aft from the roof – no doubt contributing a considerable amount of downforce to the overall aerodynamic package. The One:1’s name comes from the fact that

HONDA has released images of its 2014 Civic WTCC works car, taken during its first test session in Aragon, Northern Spain earlier this year. The design of the new look Civic WTCC, which was unveiled in December last year, reflects the latest technical regulations for the FIA WTCC and shows the subtle style of the wheel arch extensions, larger diameter wheels, sleeker aero package and extended rear spoiler. At Honda's annual motorsport press conference, held in Tokyo, Takanobu Ito, President & CEO of Honda Motor Co. Ltd, also outlined Honda's ambitions in the Championship this year. He said: “We achieved four victories and captured the manufacturer's title last season in the FIA World Touring Car Championship, the WTCC, which was our first year of full-participation. In this season, we will strive to win the double title for driver's and manufacturer's with a total of four machines including a works team and two private teams.” Under the banner of the “Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team”, Honda will enter two works cars in 2014, driven by Gabriele Tarquini and Tiago Monteiro and run by J.A.S. Motorsport. Private outfits Zengő Motorsport and Proteam Racing will also compete for honours with two further Civics, driven by Hungary's Norbert Michelisz and Moroccan Mehdi Bennani respectively. iol.motoring.co.za

its twin-turbocharged V8 powerplant will produce 1 044 kW (1 400 hp) and weigh in at 1 400 kg (taking into account the mass of an average-sized person) – effectively resulting in a powerto-weight ratio of 1:1. Koenigsegg believes this crucial performance factor should allow the One:1 to complete the 0-200 km/h, 0-300 km/h and 0-400 km/h sprints in record time – with the latter apparently happening in 20 seconds. As impressive as those statistics are, the One:1’s real target is Bugatti’s Veyron SS, with its 415 km/h top speed. The One:1 is believed to be capable of a 450 km/h maximum velocity.

NISSAN will re-enter the taxi industry in South Africa with the launch of the all-new Nissan NV350 Impendulo, which will go on sale in March this year. The new 16-seat model, has been built to comply with South Africa's taxi industry regulations and benefits from extensive South African influence throughout its development, while being specifically engineered in Japan. The new model succeeds the legendary Nissan E20 of the 1990s – a vehicle which still carries strong heritage with local taxi operators almost twenty years after the last E20 was sold. The new NV350 Impendulo Taxi, whose name is also unique to the South African market, has already begun forging new bonds with local taxi association members who have featured extensively in its development, both in its engineering and indeed its special name. The innovative 'Name to Fame Game' took place in 2013 and invited members of the taxi industry to submit ideas for the market name of NV350 in South Africa. This resulted in the new Nissan NV350 Taxi carrying the “Impendulo” moniker, an indication to the extent to which consumers have been involved in Impendulo to market is thrilling, the entire experience embodying our 'Innovation that Excites' ethos. Following the launch we will be involving the the model's planning and development, taxi industry even further as we launch a brand ambassador campaign, Says Tessa Cooke, NV350 Product Manager at Nissan South Africa: followed by individual taxi rank launches where we will take the NV350 “Impendulo is the isiZulu word for 'the answer', a term which can be applied to Impendulo straight to the people who will be using it every day.” the NV350 Taxi in more than one way. With it, we aim to recapture the love and affection of both taxi operators and commuters. “The fact that our new taxi has been designed around the people who are going to operate and use it, coupled with the overwhelmingly positive response to our naming competition, points towards a very successful reintroduction of the Nissan badge to the South African taxi industry.” The unique name also gives the NV350 Impendulo Taxi a strong local flavour, reigniting the South African taxi industry's affection for Nissan products – an industry in which over 4.5 million people travel in over 220 000 taxis on a daily basis.

The winner of the Name to Fame Game is Mr Mandla William Mabaso of the Thuthukani Association which operates in the Germiston region of Gauteng. He takes home a dazzling R50 000 cash deposit towards the purchase of his new NV350 Impendulo. Designed for South Africans – the new Nissan NV350 Impendulo has been specifically tailored for use by commuters and operators alike to comply with the market's world-leading taxi industry regulations. A product development team was flown to Japan during the planning phase to ensure the model not only meets Taxi Recapitalisation Programme legislation and safety regulations, but also overall market suitability.

Following the design first seen locally on the Nissan NV350 Panel Van In attendance at the NV350 Impendulo launch was Norihiko Yagi, Chief launched in 2013, the NV350 Impendulo features sharp, bold and assertive Product Specialist for Nissan Motor Company, who worked with the South design cues which are harmonised by clean surfaces and an overall 'fuss-free' African contingent throughout the NV350 Taxi's development. “To finally bring look. The front end imparts a strong, bold and individualistic design with a rounded, characterful waistline forming at the base of the windscreen and progressing down the flanks. The rear features bold vertical tail lights which impart confidence. NV350 Impendulo is available exclusively in white as part of the taxi industry regulations. On the inside, the high-roof body design ensures roominess all-round. The cockpit features a spacious design with strategic attention given to key areas like ease of ingress, head and shoulder room and driver's knee room – all extremely important elements for operators who spend vast amounts of time behind the wheel every day. The single sliding side door opens wide to allow for the best possible ease of access. Behind the two individual front seats, 14 smartly-designed seats make the most of the NV350 Impendulo's interior space. Featuring six benches and two individual seats with a central 'passage' allowing access to the rearmost three rows, ease of access was a key focus during design and development. The new Nissan NV350 Impendulo is powered by a proven 2.5-litre petrol engine, which produces 108 kW at 5 600 rpm and 213 Nm at 4 400 rpm, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Fuel economy is improved with the assistance of low voltage control of the alternator, whereby battery charge is monitored and the alternator's voltage adjusted to curb over-charging the battery, thereby reducing load on the engine and lowering fuel consumption. Improved timing chain operation thanks to low-friction materials also aids in reducing consumption, as does the engine's low idle speed of just 600 rpm. Much like its Panel Van sibling, the NV350 Impendulo features smart standard equipment to make daily use more pleasant. These include easy-to-clean PVC flooring, adjustable power steering wheel, a multi-info trip computer, two cup holders, cleverly-designed sliding rear windows, seatback handles and 15-inch steel wheels with wheel covers. A full-size spare wheel is also standard fitment, and a two-speaker audio system is available as an option. Safety equipment includes driver and front passenger airbags, ABS with s Brake Assist, seat belts for all 16 seats, a driver's seatbelt warning buzzer, an emergency exit escape hatch in the roof and an immobiliser.

FORD Racing is heading into the 2014 season of the highly competitive Donaldson South African Cross Country Championship with a new look, a new sponsor, a new driver and navigator, and with the benefit of extensive experience gained on this year's arduous Dakar Rally. Atlas Copco is welcomed to the team as its title sponsor for the 2014 season, building on its high-profile involvement in the sport by joining forces with the mighty Ford Racing / Neil Woolridge Motorsport outfit that has been one of the leading contenders in the local championship, including ending the last two seasons in runner-up position. “We are proud to welcome Atlas Copco to the team, as the company brings a lot of support and expertise to cross country racing,” says John Nagel, Ford Racing Manager. “With the changes lined up for this year the competition is going to be tougher than ever, but this partnership will enable us to compete at an even higher level, with our sights set on reclaiming the title once again.” Atlas Copco is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a world leader covering more than 160 markets with products and services ranging from compressed air and gas equipment to generators, construction and mining equipment, industrial tools and assembly systems. “There is a close relationship between the technology of Atlas Copco products and that of the vehicles used in the Donaldson Cross Country Championship," says Jim Tapkas, General Manager Atlas Copco South Africa Compressor Technique business area. “We see the sponsorship of the Ford Racing team as well as the Atlas Copco round of the championship as an extension of our marketing strategy, particularly in relation to the automotive, construction, manufacturing and mining sectors. “The event and the success of our teams in the series over the years have enabled us to build and maintain awareness of Atlas Copco and our products, and we believe that this will be strengthened further as the title sponsor for Atlas Copco Ford Racing in 2014.” Along with the new sponsor, the team sees experienced competitors and multiple race winners Gary Bertholdt and his regular co-driver Siegfried Rousseau joining the squad for 2014. They join the existing pairing of 2010 champions and runners-up for the past two seasons, Chris Visser and Japie Badenhorst, in the two Atlas Copco Ford Racing Rangers. Bertholdt takes the place of young star Lance Woolridge who has been ruled out of competition for the year due to a back operation. “It's a pity to have Lance out of action, as he is consistently quick and took the Ranger to its first win on its maiden outing last year,” says Neil Woolridge, Team Manager of Ford Racing. “But he's still young and it's important for him to recover fully before competing again. “Gary and Siegfried bring a lot of experience and proven talent to the team, having been front-running privateers for many years. They are sure to be on the pace from the outset, thus giving us two strong contenders as we take the fight to the other factory and well-funded privateer teams.” Atlas Copco Ford Racing will be competing in the premier category of the championship, which has undergone significant changes for the 2014 season. According to the South African National Off Road Racing Association (SANORA), the existing SP Class has been split in two in order to level the playing field by separating the older V6-powered vehicles from the latest high-tech entries such as the V8powered Atlas Copco Ford Racing Ranger. Class T will now cater for vehicles with an engine capacity of 4 000 cc and over, and the teams have the option of running the solid axle rear suspension used last year or the independent set-up as employed on the Dakar Rally. The new Class S category will cater for vehicles with a maximum engine capacity of 4 000 cc with a solid rear axle only. “We are very excited about the introduction of Class T for this year, as it allows us to compete with virtually the same vehicle we used on the Dakar Rally in South America last month,” Woolridge says. “Last year we were building different vehicles for the SA championship and the Dakar Rally, but now we are able to focus our efforts on a common design with the same suspension components, while making the most of the lessons learned in the tough conditions encountered on the Dakar. I believe this will give us a big advantage in the local championship.” Along with the changes to the classes, the race format has also been revised for 2014. Qualifying races to determine the start positions will now be run over 100 km, and the race distance for each of the local rounds has been increased from 400 to 450 km. The season kicks off on 28 February with the RFS 450, which relocates from its

traditional home at Tarlton Raceway near Krugersdorp to Harrismith in the Free State this year, thus presenting the challenge of an all-new event and unknown terrain to the competitors. 2014 Donaldson SA Cross Country Championship 1) 28 February – 1 March 2) 4-5 April 3) 16-17 May 4) 27-29 June Desert Race 5) 8-9 August 6) 12-13 September 7) 24-25 October 8) 28-29 November

F A L C O N o p Lydenburg het ’n probleempie vir my opgelos. Deesdae se motors kom dikwels sonder ’n sigaretaansteker en asbakkie, soos my Nissan NP200 SE. Die kragsok links voor die rathefboom is standaard, maar sonder aansteker en in my geval sonder krag. Dit was dus nie moontlik om bv. ’n GPS te gebruik of selfone te laai nie. Ek het by Longtom Nissan ’n aansteker en asbakkie bestel. Die asbakkie pas in een van die bekerhouers en die a a n s t e k e r i s veronderstel om die kragsok links te vervang. Raymond en sy span by Falcon het egter die kragsok vir my “lewendig” gemaak en die aansteker regs agter die asbakkie netjies ingebou, sodat dit na ’n fabrieksinstallasie lyk. Nou het ek nie een nie, maar twee 12V kragsokke soos op ’n luukse “duur” voertuig! Dankie Falcon. Andre Coetzee

Highlands Panorama readers will remember my disgust at last year’s SA COTY awards. I called it a scandal. Well, read this: Munich, Germany - The head of Germany's ADAC car club, Europe's largest, resigned in disgrace on Monday after an external audit found it had rigged the results and order of its award for the country's most popular car. Leading German carmakers Daimler, Volkswagen and BMW immediately said they would follow suit by handing back the once-coveted annual “Yellow Angel” awards after the audit found irregularities in the counting and ordering. The revelations have battered the reputation of the ADAC, which before it first admimtted wrongdoing last month was one of Germany's most respected institutions with 19 million members. ADAC president Peter Meyer resigned just before publication of the external audit, which found the order of four of the first five places had been manipulated. IT’S A CRISIS, REFORM NEEDED “This is the most serious crisis in our 111-year history,” said August Markl, ADAC's vice president, who will take over from Meyer until the next general assembly in May. Thousands of ADAC members have left in disgust. Markl vowed to bring sweeping reforms to ADAC, which has also come under fire for charging inflated prices for car batteries to stranded motorists. Top executives have also been attacked for inappropriate use of rescue helicopters and jets. But Justice Minister Heiko Maas said the ADAC would need to be reorganised. “The current set up ofADAC's organisation led to these mistakes,” Maas said. “They need to be changed.” The scandal erupted last month when it emerged that its popular “ADAC Motorwelt” magazine had massively inflated readership votes for the “YellowAngel” award for Germany's favourite car. ADAC had said that 34 299 motorists endorsed the Volkswagen Golf in an award to determine the

EK het so ’n tyd gelede hierdie stel Road Rage HID ligte by Neels Holtshauzen van Autohausen aangekoop. Die een lig was egter nie so skerp soos die ander nie en ek het die Isuzu na Falcon geneem, wat vir my dikker bedrading na die ligte gedoen het en ’n relé op elke lig afsonderlik monteer het. Die HID ligte het baie krag nodig om in te skop en hulle werk nou soos hulle veronderstel is om te doen. Hierdie is nie jou gewone “spotlights” nie. Dit is projektor ligte wat baie ver lig. Inteendeel, voor die verbetering van die bedrading, het hierdie ligte al bykans ’n kilometer ver geskyn. Nou kan ek verseker in die nag ry en sleep en ver genoeg sien om betyds tot stilstand te kom wanneer nodig. Andre Coetzee.

Auditor Deloitte on Monday said only 3271 votes had been cast for the vehicle, with the accountants adding it found evidence of “wilful manipulation” as well as technologically flawed processing of data. BLATANT MANIPULATION

8 Breytenbach Str, Lydenburg, 1120 013 235 1086 degraaflydenburg@webmail.co.za

Deloitte examined thousands of pieces of computer data and conducted interviews with ADAC employees. It said the since-departed director of ADAC communications, Peter Ramstetter, had simulated different scenarios on his computer about how the number and order of the votes could be manipulated. ADAC at first said the total number of votes had been manipulated but not the order. BMW's 3-series, for instance, should have been in second place behind the Volkswagen Golf based on votes submitted, but inexplicably did not even make it into the top five. The BMW's 5series was instead inserted in fifth place. Volkswagen, which won the YellowAngel with its Volkswagen Golf model at the end of January, said it would return the award. Daimler said it would return all the Yellow Angels it had been awarded in previous years. “Awards by the public are of great importance to Daimler, since these reflect the public's opinion. A prerequisite for this is that readership votes are conducted in a correct manner. This was not the case with the YellowAngel,” Daimler said. ADAC said Deloitte would now examine the voting in the years from 2005 to 2013 because it had found similarities in how the prize had been awarded in those years. ADAC stands for Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club. Its car test reports are followed closely in a country with a deep affinity for its cars. Reuters / iol.motoring.co.za

WHEN it comes to homeowners wanting to improve the value of their property, kitchens and bathrooms are still the number one places to upgrade, however, more and more property owners are now looking to improve their outdoor living spaces as well. With summer in full swing, many homeowners have turned their attention to the outdoors because of the benefits this provides to their families. During the warmer months, most people find that they spend far more time outdoors, making it the ideal season to engage in a home improvement project that will maximise the enjoyment of these outdoor areas and add to the appeal of the home when wanting to sell. There are several reasons why investing in your home's outdoor living areas could pay off in the long run. Increased appeal and resale value From a financial perspective homeowners will be able to recoup a large portion of the money they spend on any addition or renovation when they decide to sell, provided that they have not renovated above the ceiling price in the neighbourhood. Outdoor additions such as a deck or a swimming pool, for example, will increase the value of the property and, depending on the circumstances, between 65 and 90 percent of the cost could be recouped at sale. Not only will the o u t d o o r 48 Voortrekker straat, Dennis van Renen Gebou (oorkant Spar) / 013 235 4575 www.qsrealty.co.za improvements add value to the property Gaan ons op Facebook financially, it will also add to the home's appeal, which could

be what the seller needs to oust the competition in today's competitive real estate environment. Buyers will like the fact that the home has pleasant outdoor features and spaces. Enjoyment and entertaining While the increase in the property's value is a huge benefit, this can only be realised if the property is sold. However, the immediate benefit is that the family will be able to make full use of the outdoor space and enjoy it. An outdoor area designed around a homeowner's specific needs and preferences can optimise space and act as an extension of the liveable area of the home. Relax and de-stress Medical research studies suggest that spending time outdoors can assist with alleviating stress and can improve mood. A pleasant and accessible outdoor area can bring all the benefits of spending time in nature into the comfort of your home. Potential money and water saving The addition of elements such as a lowmaintenance deck or patio will reduce areas of lawn that require watering, which in turn will lower utility costs. Having an outdoor recreational area means that the family is likely to spend more time at home, which will also reduce entertainment costs. The benefits of investing in outdoor living spaces can be reaped in many different ways.

Connecting with customers in Lydenburg! OTEES Powertrade Cash & Carry has been part of Lydenburg for an amazing 22 years and in that time the store has forged strong bonds with its community. With its impressive array of competitively priced groceries, sweets, general merchandise, frozen goods and small appliances, the store offers an exceptional value for money shopping experience. Not only is it well supported by shoppers from Lydenburg, but customers come from far and wide to take advantage of the great pricing, wide range and quality service. Otees Powertrade is easily accessible in the town of Lydenburg and from further afield, with ample, secure vehicle parking for its valued customers. In addition to serving the general public, the store also sells to small store owners and other small to medium sized businesses, catering companies, tourists looking to stock up for their holiday, bed and breakfast guest houses and hotels. The store's bulk shopping section offers excellent choice and value. This is a shop that has the capacity to meet a diverse range of requirements, with a delivery service for business owners and knowledgeable and friendly staff to help the general public and traders who flock to the store. Since the early days, Otees Powertrade has gone the extra mile for its customers, offering great value for money, which in today's economic climate is more important than ever. The goal and mission of the store's management and staff is to give their customers what they want, at the best possible price. The store recently had a 'facelift' with striking new outside signage being installed. Plans are also underway for some changes inside the store – watch this space!

Four lucky customers were very happy to have won lovely kitchen appliances during Otees Platinum Promotion competition. Otees Powertrade is part of the UMS (Unitrade Management Services) voluntary trading group, with access to a full basket of added value products and services, including national and divisional buying for deals and promotions; unique buying facilities for individual needs; marketing and advertising; central accounting facilities; greater credit facilities; store development projects; unique community marketing programmes; performance management reports; product information reports; and information technology (IT) with systems that enable online member ordering and targeted customer campaigns. Unitrade's focus is to assist its members – family-run, independent wholesale and retail stores – to build their businesses through strong

partnerships. Ultimately though, Otees' customers benefit from all these services, which make for a better, more enjoyable and price competitive store. “Otees Powertrade has built a well-deserved reputation for itself in the community of Lydenburg and beyond,” says Ivo Barradas, General Manager, UMS Northern Division. “We wish them every success as they continue to grow from strength to strength and we will be with them and supporting them every step of the way.” As part of the store's ongoing promotions and specials, Otees Powertrade recently ran a competition where four lucky customers won fabulous kitchen appliances, such as microwaves, stoves and refrigerators. It was the first time that the Otees Platinum Promotion

took place at the store and it is set to become an annual event. Shoppers placed their till slips into an entry box to take part in a lucky draw and every till slip entry offered the store's customers a bigger and better chance to win great prizes. The day's festivities also saw free samples given away, music from a big CocaCola truck outside the store and a general good and happy vibe! The entire staff made sure that the multitude of customers were well looked after and a great time was had by all. Otees Powertrade can be easily found at 5 Kerk Street, Lydenburg.
