DURBAN NORTH TO BALLITO

H

AVING just celebrated twenty nine years of marriage to my beloved Sue, I am astonished at how fast those years have flown by and I am finding it difficult coming to terms with the idea that I am now the age that my dad was when he retired.

I thought that he was very old at the time but now I look in the mirror and I see shades of him smiling back at me – but I feel so young… like I have just begun on the journey. Wow, isn’t life strange!

As a wise man once said, “The trouble is, you think you’ve got time.”

Moving on, I made a rather interesting discovery in Umhlali last week. I love watching programmes like American Pickers, Pawn Stars and shows featuring old barn find bike and car wrecks being restored to their former glory. So, when I heard about an old grand piano that had recently surfaced in Umhlali, I went to investigate and, there it was – a century old Steinway – the gold standard of the piano world!

The background story is a little vague but essentially it was sourced by a local piano tuner and is on consignment at Shaka Music in Umhlali. It looks good, but with Steinways, unless it has been agent maintained, much of the value could have been lost, according to the official Steinway website that I consulted. Still, it’s a wonderful conversation piece and whoever snaps it up will no doubt get it for a steal – there is an article with more info and some pics in this edition of Life & Style should

you be interested to pursue it.

As we move towards the festive season, Ballito is already experiencing a pre- season influx and as school leavers begin to arrive for the annual Rage, the party atmosphere is already tangible and I think we are in for a bumper December.

The drought in the Western Cape has put many off holidaying there and local accommodation is now already almost unobtainable.

The reinvented Lifestyle Centre with its many exciting new attractions complementing those across the road at the Ballito Junction have added greatly to the mix of options to keep the tills ringing and the local economy growing.

Of course, there are those who feel a little out of sorts because their town is being invaded by strangers and the traffic is getting heavier. I understand the frustration and hope that the season passes without incident.

The municipal decision to introduce paid parking in the region has been another bone of contention, particularly as information about the nature of the relationship between the municipality and the private contractor – Vusa Isipho Trading Enterprise – has entered the fray. It would appear that there have been some questionable decisions made about the awarding of this contract without sufficient community engagement and this is currently under review. Beachfront parking is always at a premium in peak holiday season and, paid or unpaid, this is not a situation that is going to improve because there is just no more parking space available.

One could make a case for the licensing of a beach shuttle service although how the various taxi associations in the region would respond to this would be interesting to determine. I can’t see them

welcoming any newcomer of this nature into the sector.

On a brighter note, the departure of the Mugabes from the political scene to the north has brought about an outpouring of joy among local Zimbabwean migrants. The initial overtones of the new incumbent, Emmerson Mnangagwa, have been encouraging to those hopeful for economic recovery in that devastated region. Of course, time will tell which way the wind blows and there is equal hope for the winds of change to start blowing in South Africa. Junk status speaks volumes for how we have been led thus far. Here’s hoping…

Holidays are good times to sell as buyers also have time off. This means that you will have to keep the property tidy and available for viewings.

required, appeals most to this fast moving group of buyers. It is therefore a good idea when selling your property to see to all the renovations needed, before placing your home on the market. Older properties with that ‘lived-in’ and cluttered appearance will not appeal to the new buyers. As a seller you should take this to heart, de-clutter and fix-up all the cracks etc. before listing your property. Staging the house is a great idea.

3. Open plan layouts are in great demand. Traditional homes with separate dining/kitchen and living areas are no longer in vogue. The cost of opening up the property to have the desired open plan- living lifestyle scares new homeowners away. Keep this in mind when pricing your home.

4. Eco- and green- living properties are what the environmentally-conscious young buyers are looking for. Properties with a low carbon footprint and with energy efficient technology such as solar- panels and grey water systems

are more attractive to these buyers.

5. One of the biggest requirements for every buyer is security. How safe is your house? What is the crime situation in your area? Although one cannot control the rate of crime, one can have security measures in place that buyers are looking for. The fact that you have never had a ‘break-in’ will not help selling your home without any security.

6. Technology-equipped homes where it is possible to control your property from your smart phone is likely to appeal more to the millennials. Wi-Fi and fibre optics are desirable must-haves for modern day buyers.

What can sellers do?

Get professional help.

1. Even though buyers can shop online using various property portals, your local experienced estate agent will remain invaluable when selling your home in a fast changing property market.

2. Every deal in buying, selling or renting property comes with a unique set of circumstances with human elements that will require a skilled agent to manage and steer through those unforeseen problems arising. With all the online information available, no device or

computer can ever take out the human element in selling or purchasing the biggest asset in your lives.

3. No matter what festivities are happening, marketing your house during the festive season is a good time providing you work with your agent assisting you with scheduled viewing appointments.

We at Harcourts Dolphin Coast deal with the marketing, legal contracts and conveyancing of properties on a daily basis. We take pride in taking care of our sellers and buyers giving them professional and reliable advice and information on how to sell or buy in today’s property market. Let us take the ‘pain’ and change it into ‘gain’ when dealing with your next property transaction. Call us for FREE valuations and advice helping you to sell your property.

of selling property are no longer taking place. A new breed of buyers has arrived on the scene. From the young (millennials) to the older and experienced property hunters, the search for properties has dramatically changed. Buyers are no longer uninformed. They know all properties available before even setting foot in your door. Property portals advertise properties on the internet and buyers already distinguish what the average price should be.

The new entrants into the property market, the millennials ( twenty-something) form the ‘instant gratification’ group and are skilled in letting their fingers walk through your property , so to speak, without you opening your door to let them in.

Property portal alerts with virtual reality, photos, video and virtual tours allow buyers to see inside your property from the comfort of their cell phone or other devices the minute a new listing appears. These well informed buyers can no longer be

TARZAN THE BOY FROM THE BUSH ANNELIZE VAN ZYL

D

URING our morning walks in Blythedale where we live, we noticed that a German Shephard was always on the street and eventually realised that it was not just a dog that had gone on his daily outing off his owner’s yard, but he in fact lived in the bush.

This stray dog seemed to be petrified of humans, and my family all decided that we wanted to help this dog. We contacted the “owners” who had only recently moved to Blythedale Beach who informed us that they had rescued this dog and his sister from another family where the dogs had been abused. Due to the abuse the dog had suffered and his fear of humans, he took his first chance to escape from their property and they could not get him back onto their yard. He then found himself a little shelter in the middle of the natural bush in Blythedale.

It was a long journey and many hours of trying to befriend the dog but we could not make any progress. We had even sedated him twice but the first time did not work and the second time he fled into the bush and despite us searching for 2 hours, could not find him. He reappeared later the afternoon after what must have been a lovely sleep!

The people from the local little shopping centre all fed him daily and this helped in getting a bit more used to human interaction. In fact a lot of people in Blythedale fed him at various points. He loved Thomas (a cat which is also a stray and lives at the complex) and just wanted to play. He even tries and plays with the monkeys.

We have a little Jack Russel at home called Jonty and everyone loves Jonty. We then decided to bring Jonty to him to see if they would play together which was an instant success. We took Jonty to our stray boy for plenty of play dates and slowly he became a little more used to us, but still wouldn’t make contact.

One Thursday afternoon late a friend of mine called me to say that he had just wandered onto her parents’ property and she had closed the gate so he was enclosed should we still wish to capture him. We

i Everyone, thanks for the great response to the consumer tips in the last consumer column. This is the time of year that we really have to be super sharp when it comes to protecting our personal information. Black Friday has come and gone and with it, some unsuspecting consumers bank accounts and personal data. Leading up to Christmas, we need to know that we are all in the same boat when it comes to fraud and being exploited by the many scamsters out there, and it’s good to know that technology is on our side.

The App. ThisIsMe is a great way to protect your personal data and to check up on people or companies you are considering doing business with. Their aim is to be the world’s most trusted, used advanced identity verification and due diligence platform.

Download this useful tool that will come in handy if your account is ever compromised.

The app is ideal for identifying identity theft, and early detection is key to prevent such issues.

immediately called the Vet to get some more sedatives but he was out of stock and as it was late, we had no other options but to carry on without it.

We tried getting him on a leash but he was scared and showed his teeth and growled at us. We tried with food. We even fetched his sister on a leash but he would not go near her. We fetched Thomas from the shop and that was just another play date for him!

Eventually we decided to put Jonty on a leash and

walk him home and hopefully he would follow him home… It worked!!!

We finally got him onto our property and after many hours into our garage where he spent two days locked up with one of us with him most of the time. We decided to name him Tarzan, the boy from the bush. We then opened the door leading into our house and he slowly started to move closer to us and

Thanks to our little fountain of knowledge when it comes to all things stylish, fashionable and… organised, Style Me’s Daniyel Berry, who has come up with some fantastic pre holiday tips. Many of us are rushing off to foreign places at this time of year, and here are some super ideas on how to pack so that we don’t wind up with a whole lot of unused or badly rumpled items. Visit Daniyel’s web site for more Stylish tips – styleme.co.za.

Says Dan “There were 4 girls in my family, including our Mum. For my Dad, travelling with us was so stressful as we brought our massive suitcases down to the car. This was probably one of the worst jobs trying to fit everything in. To top it all off, we used to run up and down the stairs when we realized we had forgotten something. For a stress free family holiday I wish I had known back then what I know now!

Remember if you pack light, you can literally fit in 72 Outfits into a 7kg carry on luggage bag with only 12 garments!

Who needs more?

1. Lay your clothing on the bed and then eliminate one third – We always take too much! Take a little laundry powder with you and hand wash if necessary.

2. Put your earrings in tiny cases - contact lens cases are ideal.

3. Put necklaces in between sheets of Glad wrap so they don’t tangle - or thread them through a straw.

4. Turn your Blazers or jackets inside out so they don’t crease.

5. Roll up socks and underwear, place in a zip lock bag..

6. Take small travel sized toiletry items, glad wrap the top and then replace with caps to avoid exploding at high altitude.

• Double bag toiletries.

• Keep Toiletries in the suitcase for next time you travel.

7. Place shoes in first & fill the gaps with soft items. Pack belts at the side of the case.

eventually into our house… but still no contact! My daughter and I slept in the lounge where he could come to us during the night from the garage which is what he saw as his safe place. After a few evenings he started pawing us during the night to wake us up to play with him. If you ignored him, the pillow would be pulled from under your head or the blanket taken off you. We estimate his age at about 18 months but he was a like a six week old puppy.

My daughter persevered and spent hours with him playing games and finally made the breakthrough of been able to stroke him.

Everything was new to him. He didn’t know how to play and we initially got many bruises and scratches but he has since calmed down and now plays gently. He did not know what a bed was and jumped at the sensation of the soft mattress under his paws. He didn’t eat like a normal dog out of a bowl. He took a mouthful of pellets and ran away to eat it and then returned for more. He could not even drink water out of a bowl properly but he is catching on fast.

We eventually managed to get him onto a leash so that we can take him out to exercise and work off some of his amazing amount of energy which has caused us a few problems…. He has ripped up our lounge suite, destroyed a couple of pairs of shoes, ripped up two duvet covers, eaten about twenty toilet rolls which he takes off the holder, eaten my daughter’s cell phone and a few remotes…. Should you be sitting in front of the TV pointing the remote in that direction, he smartly walks passed and tries to remove the remote from your hand.

We have asked Anthony Du Plessis a local dog handler to work with Tarzan and after a few sessions, he walks with me and even responds to the command sit! He is not too fond of the leash but in time he will settle. We have a long way to go but if you consider this has all been in a matter of about six weeks, we feel that we have made lots of progress.

Tarzan is now part of our family and has found a forever home.

Please keep those queries coming through!

Contact me on gjthomo@gmail.com Remember that if you have any complicated queries – especially those bordering on the legal side – go straight to the Consumer Council – KZN Consumer Complaints Hotline number: 0800 333 667 which is a free service to the public. OR go to the SMALL CLAIMS COURT in Stanger.

This is particularly with regards to money that needs to be claimed back – if it is a small amount.

Contact them on 032 551 1201. The only payment involved is the fee payable to the Sheriff – depending on how far he has to travel to serve.

S we reach the end of another academic year many young people leaving educational institutions having completed their studies will be faced with the reality of deciding what to do with their newfound status and freedom.

And just as you would be surprised to find a vintage Roller in a regular sort of used car lot, you would be equally taken aback should you wander in to Shaka Music in Umhlali where this veritable old Grande Dame is currently waiting to be rescued. Surrounded by bits and pieces of musical detritus and paraphernalia catering largely to the lower end of the market, the Steinway Grand looks completely out of place. It’s not a Concert Grand but it is bigger than a Baby Grand and it really is quite majestic.

On the upside of this rather gloomy outlook is the fact that many will embrace the spirit of entrepreneurship out of sheer necessity. It’s the small, medium and micro enterprises that are on the increase globally and growing economies rather well, so, why not here?

I have an idea that this is what has driven an initiative launched in Ballito recently by Grant Visagie and his creative team.

Grant has a successful small digital design and advertising agency that he has relocated to premises in Ballito that he has reconfigured and branded as a creative venue for like-minded people to work from.

Some will see Hive simply as a coworking space and coffee shop…but what it really is, is a community of support, encouragement and hope.

As Grant says, it’s a place of inspiration and collaboration where the value and potential of human beings is celebrated. A collective of creatives who

Apart from the ivory keys that have been restored, the piano looks to be in original condition, although I am no authority and looks can be deceiving.

I do believe that it would make an exquisite centrepiece for a music room or lounge in one of those gorgeous homes in the leafy estates around here and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone snaps it up as a piece of décor. The price is modest enough – less than some of the artworks I’ve seen on exhibition in the region, and it is probably quite negotiable. John Marshall, proprietor of Shaka Music, is always open to a little haggling in the nicest way.

I don’t think it will hang around the store in Umhlali for very long so, if you are interested, give him a call on 082 079 8109. Who knows, you might be singing Christmas carols around the piano in a week or two!

WAGTAIL ON BRETTENWOOD TIS THE SEASON to be Jolly Busy in the Garden!

PAM JACOB - DRIEFONTEIN GARDEN CENTRE

I

t’s that time of the year when we can’t decide whether it is mid-summer or midwinter but believe me, true summer is not far away with the promise of balmy evenings; night time swims in the pool and eating al fresco. Are you ready for `the Season’? Whilst we are trying to do all things to stay cool, it is necessary to keep the roots of our plants in a healthy condition with no drying out in the intense heat that will come. This is achieved in two ways. One is by mulching with either landscaping bark or a really good layer of compost and the other is to ensure that your garden is so well planted that the plants create sufficient shade by virtue of the density of planting. The sign of a good garden is when you can’t see the soil. It is not difficult to work towards this. When you decide on ground covers or fillers (both being perennial plants that do not need replacing on an annual basis), you must determine on the sun aspect and the types of plants that already exist in your borders or beds. For example, it would not be recommended that you plant succulents amongst Roses or water loving, fern type plants around succulents. They simply would not

make good bed fellows.

The list of plants suitable for this purpose and I can only recommend a visit to your Nursery where you will get excellent advice and some time to `play’ with the plants, grouping like minded plants together and get an idea of the effect you will achieve by using the right plant for your situation. This will save you money in the long term and certainly add to increasing the value of your property.

You have simply no idea of the value of a well planned, well maintained garden.

Be wise when purchasing plants to decorate tables etc for the Festive Season. A good idea is to choose plants that to the into

will continue benefit you throughout year and can be popped the garden or in patio containers when the Season is over.

Orchids are always value for money if bought in bud. For lesser expensive plants, you might want to choose either Kalanchoes or Calandivas – which are pretty succulents with lovely heads of tiny flowers and will flourish in your garden, long after the Festive Season is passed.

So run along now! Get cracking and get gardening and enjoy one of the oldest, most fulfilling hobbies, known to man.

Pam Jacob talks Gardening on 88.0FM every Monday at 4pm.

Wesley Bench-Capon, Devon de Lange, Ingo Roolf, Talton Cooke, Peter Cameron, Clifton Smithers he development consists of 35 luxuriously appointed homes that offer bush and ocean views.

Security, privacy and tranquility have been carefully considered in the development. Wagtail allows you to enjoy the Brettenwood Estate with unspoilt views, quick access to the beach and a sense of being ‘deep in the bush’ while not been too far from everyday amenities.

Wagtail is a unique development within the Brettenwood Coastal Estate and one of the last few opportunities to own a piece of KZN’s highly prized Sheffield beach. Wagtail, in the heart of Brettenwood Coastal Estate, offers prime location living and is the last premium sectional title development on Brettenwood Estate, offering 25 freestanding houses at the right price, and eight, two-bedroom apartments, with premium finishes and excellent location. Properties will be priced from R2.5million. The developers, Union3 Property Solutions, are working closely with Brettenwood’s onsite sales and marketing team, Home & Country Property to launch this new project. They have been responsible for developing a number of upmarket homes along the Dolphin Coast for close on seven years now, including some in Brettenwood. The houses in Wagtail will range from 200 – 250 square metres, while the apartments will be around 125 square metres. Simplexes will also be available. The houses will have sea views and will include swimming pools and top- end finishes. A lush greenbelt will wrap around the entire site to create a feeling of space and freedom. Launched in November, and set to break ground in January 2018, they plan for a 16-month construction period, handing over the first house in June 2019. Brettenwood Coastal Estate offers top security, great views, forest walking trails and excellent facilities such as the clubhouse, children’s play areas. The estate that is close local amenities, beaches and King Shaka International Airport.
