SOMERSET WEST :BUSINESS IS BOOMING FOR RE/MAX WATERSTONE VILLAGE

RE/MAX sales double in buoyant market I

n the first four months of 2013, RE/ MAX Helderberg reported a 112% increase in their registered sales figures compared with the same period in 2012.

According to top RE/MAX Helderberg producer, Salo Saayman, (photographed below) “business at RE/MAX has never been better!” Saayman is celebrating his seventh anniversary at RE/ MAX Helderberg. Saayman of RE/MAX Helderberg, former successful bank manager / area manager for a leading bank, has acquired an in-depth knowledge of business and of banking. He has reached the highest echelons of the real estate profession in his career with RE/MAX. Multiaward winner, Saayman achieved the RE/MAX International Platinum Award in 2012. “Our office at Waterstone Salo Saayman Village is extremely busy,” affirms Saayman. “Our sales for the first four months of 2013 have more than doubled compared with the same period in 2012. RE/MAX is a phenomenal, world-wide success story. Here in Somerset West, our team of sales associates deliver consistently exceptional results! The proof of our excellence lies in our sales figures! I have found that keeping in regular contact with my vast database of previous clients has made it possible to reach new heights in my real estate career.” “We are also experiencing tremendous growth at Waterstone Village,” explains Saay-

man. “Waterstone Village is seven years old and is currently undergoing a transformation and much-needed expansion to serve the needs of the ever-growing number of stylish and trend-setting customers frequenting this favourite hot spot.” The revamp of Waterstone Village aims to maximise the benefits of the Centre, including the prime location, proven trading record, comprehensive tenant mix and enviable shopper market. The Centre’s anchor tenants are expanding and an additional 277 parking bays will be available. The parking-bay project will be completed end of June 2013. Saayman comments, “We envisage that the growth and improvements underway at Waterstone Village will enhance our prominence as the Helderberg’s real estate market leaders”. “My principal, Lee Siebert, broker/owner of RE/MAX Helderberg, has supported me throughout my career. I find Lee to be a true professional, and a principled principal – the best kind in the industry!” Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, says that, “As recovery in both the housing market and the economy move from strength to strength, real estate is once again becoming a popular investment strategy. This is for a good reason. Real estate investment has always provided a long-term vehicle for investors looking for a financially secure investment options that can provide a cornerstone for wealth creation. Property can often

ensure a return on investment that other investment strategies simply cannot match, provided that the standard property buying principles are adhered to.” Goslett adds that for those with access to finance, property investment is fairly easy to get into; however, it is advisable for investors to do research and put time into learning about the property market, with the help of a professional real estate practitioner, to help them avoid making unnecessary, and often costly, mistakes. “On average RE/MAX of Southern Africa agents outsell the industry by three to one.

When it comes to massed, long-lasting winter colour, the South African gardener can’t go wrong with poppies. For instant, glorious colour in the garden nothing beats bedding plants. Just a few trays of seedlings will transform an otherwise dull corner into a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour. While some gardeners are loath to buy seedlings when they can’t see any blooms on the little plants, this shouldn’t be a concern. Poppies offer their best when planted early in the season, soon providing blooms that will keep on appearing right through to late spring. Iceland poppies prefer full sun and require fertile soil, good drainage, protection from strong winds and regular watering. They usually start flowering within 90 days after transplanting and continue to do so for about 16 to 20 weeks. Poppies love gardeners that like to pick for the vase – the more you pick them the more they flower for you. If you don’t pick the blooms it’s essential that you deadhead the spent blooms to keep them flowering. Single colours are now available for those with colour schemes and there are also lovely pastel shades. Poppies work very well with spring bulbs, as well as inter planted with low growing annuals like pansies. – Bedding Plant Growers Association. For more go to www.lifeisagarden.co.za

VW wins top award for skills development QUICKPIC Volkswagen Group South Africa’s (VWSA) continued commitment to skills development and training saw the Uitenhage-based company walk away with a prestigious accolade at South Africa’s top empowerment awards last week.

Toyota weer borg vir Pendoring Toyota Suid-Afrika, vervaardiger van verskeie van die land se gunsteling-voertuie asook die taai Hilux-bakkie, is weereens ’n goue borg van die Pendoring-reklametoekennings. Volgens Pieter Klerck, senior bestuurder van bemarkingskommunikasie en reklame by Toyota, word die maatskappy se steun daarin gesetel dat hy regstreeks met ’n jonger teikenmark wil praat, waaronder die reklamemense wat so skeppend, vry en oorspronklik dink en elke jaar die toekenningsplegtigheid bywoon, asook die verbruikers wat deur hulle beïnvloed word. “Toe hy 19 jaar gelede gestig is, het Pendoring daarmee erkenning gegee dat Afrikaans pens en pootjies deel van Suid-Afrika se erfenis en identiteit is,” sê hy. “Met die vertrekpunt dat die Afrikaanssprekende deel van die bevolking uiters handelsnaam-lojaal is, ’n taamlik groot besteebare inkomste het, en dat verbruikers hul harte, koppe en beursies meer geredelik oopmaak wanneer in hul moedertaal met hulle gepraat word, het Pendoring bemarkers aangemoedig om produkte en dienste in Afrikaans te bevorder. “Toyota het nog altyd deur middel van skerp en skeppende reklame met dié mark Afrikaans gepraat en het die geleentheid verwelkom om sy jare lange steun vir die taal deur sy verbintenis met Pendoring te belig. Vandag verwelkom die groep die feit dat Pendoring tot by die punt gekom het waar hy ook skeppendheid en ’n hernude belangstelling in ander inheemse tale bevor-

der. Sy instelling van die eg Suid-Afrikaanse kategorieë en die bekendstelling van die Umpetha-toekenning is progressiewe stappe, en dit vind aanklank by sowel die skeppers van moedertaal-reklame as die verbruikers waarmee daardeur gepraat word. “Die handelsnaam se volgehoue band met Pendoring bied aan Toyota die ideale geleentheid om homself en sy voertuie te verbind met dié teikenmark wat hul op hul kultuur, taal en erfenis roem,” sê hy. Pendoring het oor die afgelope twee dekades gegroei tot ’n omvattende veldtog wat daarop gemik is om groter bewustheid van die krag van kommunikasie in die huistaal van die teikenmark te skep, of dit nou in Afrikaans, Zoeloe of Xhosa is. “Pendoring gaan vandag oor die aanmoediging van die gebruik van reklame in inheemse tale, om sodoende die erfenis en tradisies van alle Suid-Afrikaners te respekteer en waardeer,” sê Japie Gouws, voorsitter en besturende direkteur van die ATKV Groep. “Deur reklame in die teikengehoor se moedertaal te skep en daarin te adverteer, en vir Pendoring in te skryf, word die bestaan van daardie moedertaal verseker, nes die ontwikkeling van innoverende en skeppende reklame wat waarlik by die teikenmark aanklank vind. “Dit lei op sy beurt nie net tot ’n gesonde en dinamiese reklamebedryf nie, maar is ’n grondige belegging in die toekoms van Afrikaans en ander tale,” sê Gouws. “Toyota se volgehoue steun aan die toekennings lewer ’n groot bydrae in ons strewe hierna.”

Held at the glittering Sandton Convention Centre last Friday (26th April), the 12th annual Oliver Empowerment Awards saw VWSA handed the coveted Skills Development award – beating other major contenders such as First Rand, KPMG and NetCare. Recognised as the country’s most influential empowerment accolade, the Oliver Empowerment Awards identify and acknowledge empowerment leadership and innovation. The awards celebrate companies and individuals in the public and private sectors which excel in job creation, entrepreneurship and enterprise development. VWSA director of corporate and government affairs, Nonkqubela Maliza, was delighted at the news and said the company would continue to strive towards employee skills development. “VWSA not only focuses on employment equity and management matters pertaining to empowerment, but we have also invested heavily in skills development, training, education and enterprise development,” she said, adding that the company had invested about R450 million in various training and skills development initiatives between 2006 and the end of 2011. “This investment has benefited the company’s employees, employees within the nation-

al vehicle dealer networks as well as members of the broader community. VWSA is honoured to have received this prestigious accolade and will continually strive to improve and further the development of our people.” The judging panel of twelve consisted of distinguished business people, including IBM SA’s head of governmental programmes, Gavin Pieterse, MD of the Centre of Supplier Development, Molebatsi Moagi, and CEO of the Black Business Council, Xolani Qubeka. “Volkswagen scored a 10 by our judges for their excellent efforts, at all levels, from adult literacy to technical skills. VWSA is a company with a well-balanced skills development that accommodates all aspects of business,” said Pieterse. Moagi said the company’s programmes were “in line with the learning programme matrix”. “Skills development spans across the entire Volkswagen Group organisation, from technical to leadership skills addressing skills shortages from ABET to production skills. “They have excellent programmes in line with the learning programme matrix that exceeds the skills development targets and compliance requirements,” he said. VWSA’s submission to the Oliver Awards included that it had set up various learning academies at its Uitenhage plant, as well as “a world class small-business incubator in Uitenhage”. “This incubator supports 16 small businesses and costs R5 million to run per annum,” it said in the submission. It also noted its commitment to youth development with the sponsoring of R20 million for the KwaNobuhle loveLife Y-Centre, which opened last year.

Road-test: Isuzu’s satisfying new KB FRANS LE ROUX

The previous KB 300 D-Teq was fitted with a 3.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel mill which produced 120 kW/360 Nm.

Toyota Auris XR CVT: the honest change

SOLD AUTO BOLAND

HANJO STIER Many years ago there was a hatchback Toyota called Tazz, a purely South African invention for the five-door Corolla shape. This cheapie offspring could only watch VW’s Golf and other premium hatchbacks drive off into the sunset. Tazz and Citi Golf battled it out for entry-level sales while Toyota South Africa had no answer to Golf, Astra, etc. That was until the RunX came along, another local-is-lekker name for what would’ve passed as a perfectly good Corolla hatchback elsewhere. The RunX had a sense of honest simplicity about it, something most Toyota owners appreciate. It was far from beautiful yet pleasing to the eye, especially with some bigger wheels to fill those great Toyota wheel arches. Its successor was the world-market Auris, another Toyota that wasn’t bad looking or bad to drive. It also gave us a taste of things to come with more curves, better proportions and a rather exciting dashboard and instrument cluster. This year saw the introduction of the second-generation Auris which showcases Toyota’s new design language with daring lines defining a slightly more aggressive shape. Some observers noted Korean influence which, considering what they’re up to nowadays, is a back-handed compliment. Its interior is also a refreshing change from previous attempts with a whiff of retro and 86. The dash rises almost vertically and meets the central tunnel through 1970’s Mercedes air vents and a silver swoop which (big sigh) houses the obligatory 1982 Toyota clock. This top-spec XR’s climate control also relies on old-school LCD displays but its efforts are flawless. A big touch-screen infotainment system takes centre stage and offers features like radio, CD, mp3, Aux, USB, Bluetooth and a reversing camera.

Powering the Auris XR is a 1 598cc 4cylinder petrol engine (97kW/132hp/160Nm) through either a sixspeed manual gearbox or CVT (con tinually variable transmission). PHOTO: QUICKPIC Instrumentation is clearly drawn with a good trip computer and chrome-ringed main instruments behind a fat, adjustable, multifunction steering wheel. The wheel’s bottom section has a big silver accent, as does the gear lever surround, both front door handles and two round air vents. Leather covers most other surfaces and is held together across the belly of the dashboard by beautifully contrasting white stitches. These are reflected in the door pockets and whereas Toyota still has their own idea of what leather should look and feel like, the new Auris front seats got heaps of praise. The rear seats fold in a 60/40 split to increase luggage capacity and you get the usual sus-

pects like central locking, alloy wheels, power windows and mirrors, multiple airbags, advanced ABS brakes, vehicle stability control, ISOFIX anchors, cup holders, alarm and immobiliser as standard. Powering the Auris XR is a 1,598cc 4-cylinder petrol engine (97kW/132hp/160Nm) through either a six-speed manual gearbox or CVT (continually variable transmission). Most people gasp, freeze or recoil in horror at the mention of those three letters but thankfully we have a CVT owner on our team. Said owner confirmed that this Toyota has a pleasing combination of bubbly engine and excellent response. There isn’t much throttle take-up delay and you’ll only have to endure

the hair-raising constant scream if you need full power. Cruising around town or on the highway is extremely smooth, quite frugal (claimed 6.1L/100km, 143g CO²/km) and very relaxing because the 160Nm of torque really do more than they promise. This box also offers manual gear simulation for situations when you simply need to keep the revs up. Comparative 1,600 automatic hatchbacks range from R198 995 to R291 000 against the XR CVT’s asking price of R265 600, not factoring in specification levels. Included in the Auris price is a 3year/100 000 km warranty and 5year/90 000 km service plan. - Galimoto Media
