Metro fights to avert water crisis LOURENS SCHOEMAN

T is clear that the Nelson Mandela Bay metro’s consumers now realise the seriousness of the critical water situation. Water consumption is still decrea-

If the average level of the three reservoirs that supply water to the metro supply drops further, it may force the metro to request to be declared a drought disaster area.

This according to Annette Lovemore, mayoral committee member on

agriculture, electricity, energy and infrastructure after the average level of the three reservoirs - Kouga, Churchill and Impofu - dropped to about 45%.

“Fortunately, almost all the residents of the metro currently are determined to do their part to save every drop of water possible. Most consumers are very responsible – and many of them do not hesitate to report those who misuse water.

“In addition, we also received full co-operation of the business sector.

Many companies not only cut their consumption to such an extent that it

“This has resulted in the graph showing water consumption continues to fall in recent times.

Provincial budget: Education get biggest share ROSLYN BAATJIES

“About 72,121 learners will benefit. This is an increase of 7,121 learners over the previous year,” said Somyo.

The Departhment of Health received R21,707 billion.

The comprehensive TB and HIV programme received R2 billion, while R10 billion has been allocated for the appointment of medical staff and the refurbishment of the Cecilia Makiwane Hospital, the construction of a new hospital in Mjanyana, revamping the Talalofele Hospital.

The emergency services training centre in Port Elizabeth received R1 billion.

Somyo said legal claims against the Health Department is a huge burden.

“To ensure that this decreases, R43 million has been allocated for, among other things, purchasing incubators for sick babies.”

Kevin Hustler, chief executive of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, said Somyo’s budget is not sufficient to achieve the desired growth in the Eastern Cape.

“If growth of more than 5% is in the prospect, instead of just 1.3%, then we must go to more effort to tackle projects at all levels of government.

EDUCATION in the Eastern Cape had the most - nearly R33 billion - of the provincial government’s budget of just over R74 billion for the 2017/18 financial year.

Altogether R60 billion of the budget - 89% - is devoted to the social sectors.

On Thursday, Sakhumzi Somyo, MEC for finance, said on Thursday in his budget speech in the Eastern Cape legislature in Bhisho that socioeconomic problems arise in the classroom.

“To deal with this, we allocate R32,989 billion to education.”

He added that the provincial government wants to ensure that there is a teacher in each class.

“Of the 54,747 posts, 52,712 were filled by December 2016 in accordance with the norms for post provisioning. “R22,455 billion are allocated in accordance with this norm.”

In addition, the budget allocation for the student transportation programme is R491,7 million.

“We reiterate our call on the provincial government to talk urgently with Transnet and the national Department of Public Enterprises to speed up the relocation of the tank farm and manganese ore facility of the port of Port Elizabeth,” said Hustler.

The chamber welcomed Somyo’s focus on the six pillars of the provincial economic development strategy, namely agriculture, oceans economy, tourism, renewable energy, manufacturing and the automotive industry.

“We asked him to become urgently involved in these six sectors to unlock a favourable environment for the economy.”

Hustler added that the chamber supports the importance of education and health, but that the allocation of 89% of the budget did not promote economic growth.

Bobby Stevenson, DA leader in the legislature, said Somyo did not make any significant announcements.

“The whole issue of medical legal claims is a dark shadow hanging over the budget of the province with 2 000 claims.”

The DA welcomed the increases of 12% for the

This means that the metro can reach its target of saving 15% at the end of the water year on June 30, and would hopefully not have to implement further restrictions,” said Lovemore.

She said that it hopefully would also not be necessary to fine any consumers for the misuse of water.

“In 2010-2011 we managed to save water without having to impose a single fine. I believe that by working together, we will do it again. We definitely issue letters to those who abuse wa< Eric Roux, superintendent of Churchill Dam takes a closer look at the current level of the Churchill dam.

ter and if it is necessary to take further steps, it will definitely be done. We believe it will not be necessary,” said Lovemore.

The municipality is currently employing more plumbers, pipeline inspectors and more skilled supervisory staff.

Lovemore asked that any water leak, burst pipe or water wastage should be reported to 0800 20 5050 or at waterleaks@mandelametro.gov.za.

According to Pierre Joubert, head of the Gamtoos Irrigation Board that manages the Kouga Dam, it would be a great benefit if the dam’s capacity can even rise to 60%. It is currently just above the 33% mark.

“If conditions continue, however, our irrigators could expect drastic restrictions in the next water year, which begins on July 1, especially in the case of Kouga, where irrigators are entitled to 72% of the water,” said Joubert.

Metro police welcome 111 new law enforcers LEVERNE Butler of Gelvandale’s long time dream was finally fulfilled on Wednesday, March 1. She can now finally serve her community as a law enforcer.

Butler received her rank as a constable in the Nelson Mandela Bay metro police service on Wednesday.

Butler was one of 111 members who were inducted on Wednesday. Twelve sergeants, eight inspectors and 91 constables received their ranks from metro police chief Yolanda Faro at the Traffic College in Greenbushes.

“I have been an administrative worker at the Traffic Department since 1998. I was appointed in 2011 to do the basic traffic course. I have since done voluntary law enforcement on weekends.

“Today is a very emotional and proud day because I have waited a long time for this and because I have always been passionate about law en-

forcement.”

Roger Kettledas, a constable, said he had waited seven years to become a metro police officer.

“I worked in a factory and remained positive that this day would arrive. I am grateful that the Lord has opened the door for me.”

Migae November, also a constable, said she and Kettledas did the traffic course together in 2009.

“And after a long wait, we are here.

If you leave everything to follow your passion, the waiting is worthwhile.”

According to Faro, the metro police’s focus will be on Bethelsdorp and Uitenhage, but they will work wherever it is needed.

“We will also join forces with the South African Police Service when operations around the metro are undertaken. We will also continue to sharpen our officers’ skills in various and the latest law enforcement programmes so that they are able to handle any situation.”

She added that the metro police’s

three functions include enforcing municipal and traffic regulations and general law enforcement.

John Best, mayoral committee member for safety and security, said his dream has come true, as he was on the task force for the establishment of the metro police in 2009.

“We waited for this for the past seven years. The current government has made a commitment to the project. We have created 67 new jobs in the process.”

Best said he is often asked why the metro police are not seen in the gangridden northern areas.

“We are slowly but surely moving there, but we will not send people who are not yet properly trained for such situations.

“We will provide support to the police. Only when we are comfortable that they are ready for it, we will send them to these areas,” said Best.

Provision is also made in the adjustments budget for 12 additional vehicles for the metro police.

According to Best, there are also plans to expand the mounted unit.

“We want to look at adding three horses in the next six months,” he said.

Metro, Hawks zoom in on tender fraudsters REPORTER THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in collaboration with the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) are hot on the heels of alleged fraudsters luring unsuspecting businesses to pay thousands of rands for false tender documentation.

After municipal officials became aware of the scam, it was reported to the ethics hotline and attempts are being made to trace the culprits.

“Residents must note that official municipal tenders are ad-

vertised on our website at www.nelsonmandelabay.gov.za and published on Wednesdays in leading local newspapers.

The amount payable for tender documents is never more than R200 and definitely not the R5 500 requested by the fraudsters,” municipal spokersperson Kupido Baron said in a media statement.

The municipal website has an example of a fake tender invitation.

“Members of the public are requested to alert their fellow businessmen and businesswomen regarding this scam,” Baron said.

Bayworld: ‘Dolfyne sal nie sommer terugkom’ CARA­LEE DORFLING DIE herontwikkelaars van die vervalle Bay-world-oseanarium in Port Elizabeth sal aanbeveel dat die dolfyne nie teruggebring word nie.

So het Dorelle Sapere, bestuurder van beplanning en ontwikkeling by die Nelson Mandelabaaise Ontwikkelingsagentskap (MBDA), Donderdag tydens ’n voorlegging aan die Baaise Metro-vereniging vir Gastehuise (Pembba) in Somerstrand gesê.

Die voorlegging is op Pembba se maandvergadering gelewer om die vooruitsigte van die herontwikkeling van Bayworld te bespreek.

Die provinsiale wetgewer het verlede jaar die groenlig gegee dat die MBDA deur die Nelson Mandelabaaise Munisipaliteit aangestel word om die ontspannings- en oseanariumgedeelte van Bayworld te herontwikkel.

Die aankondiging was skaars gevier of die vrae en teenstand oor die voormalige dolfyn-inwoners van die oseanarium het die hoofbesprekingspunt geword.

“Voorheen was Bayworld een van die voorste toeriste-attraksies in die stad. Vandag is dit die vrot tand in die strook tussen Koningstrand en Pollockstrand,” het Sapere gesê.

Die beplanning is voorlopig om teen Julie 2019 die eerste sooi te spit en met die bouwerk by Bayworld te begin.

Sy sê oor die volgende twee jaar sal ’n paar moeilike besluite geneem moet word om die visie en geld vir die opgraderingswerk vas te stel.

“Daar is verskeie opsies wat ons oorweeg wat verskillende begrotings sal benodig.”

Een van die goedkoper opsies is om die hele oseanarium in ’n virtuele werklikheidskompleks te omskep. “Dit beteken alle diere sal verwyder word.

Masjiene, asook ’n digitale koepel, sal die

groot trekpleisters wees.” ’n Tweede, en duurder opsie, is om die rehabilitasieafdeling in die oseanarium te behou en daarby iets soortgelyks aan die Monterey Bay-akwarium in Kalifornië te ontwikkel. Dié akwarium is aan die kus gebou en die natuurlike seegebied vorm deel van die akwarium. ’n Derde opsie sal bogenoemde behels en die terugbring van die dolfyne insluit.

Volgens Sapere is dié derde opsie heelwat duurder, aangesien die permitte die koste geweldig laat styg.

“Ons het talle oseanariums genader om raad en ons kyk ook na tendense oor die wêreld.

“Dus, wanneer ons aanbevelings vir die herontwikkeling van Bayworld maak, sal ons aanbeveel dat dolfyne nie hier aangehou sal word nie en ook nie vir sirkustoertjies gebruik word nie.”

Sy sê hul navorsing het getoon dat groot maatskappye, by wie hulle hoop om vir kapitaal aan te klop, grootliks teen die aanhouding van diere gekant is.

“Op die oomblik lyk dit of ons tussen R500 en R600 miljoen vir die projek sal benodig, en die groot bedrag sal nie alleenlik van die plaaslike regering bekom kan word nie.”

Terwyl die begroting voorlopig teen Desember vasgestel moet wees, hoop die MBDA om die nuwe visie van herontwikkeling teen Junie te finaliseer. . Die Bayworld-oseanarium se geliefde dolfyne, Domino (23) en Dumisa (10), wat jare lank besoekers met hul toertjies in die water vermaak het, het die oseanarium in 2009 verlaat. Die grootste beweegrede vir Domino en Dumisa se vertrek was die verweerde toestand van die oseanarium en daar was nie genoeg geld vir die opknappingswerk nie.

Die twee dolfyne is nou deel van die dolfynbevolking van Ocean Park in Hongkong en ook deel van ’n teelprogram.

Dorelle Sapere (regs), bestuurder van beplanning en ontwikkeling by die Nelson Mandelabaaise Ontwikkelingsagentskap (MBDA), en Shena Wilmot (links), voorsitter van die Baaise Metro-vereniging vir Gastehuise (PEMBBA), kyk na ‘n onlangse artikel oor die Bayworld-oseanarium.

Property details should be checked for General Valuation Roll THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is currently in the process of distributing General Valuation Roll notices to individual property owners as prescribed by the Municipal Property Rates Act. These notices contain details such as the municipal value of a property and its description among others.

Councillor Retief Odendaal, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Budget and Treasury, said, “This will give the owners of the more than 260 000 Nelson Mandela Bay properties an opportunity to make sure the details captured on the General Valuation Roll 2017 are correct or that nothing is omitted.

“If the information is not correct an opportunity is now available to ensure that objections are either lodged regarding your own property or that of someone else before or on April 28, 2017.

“Residents must please note that the process is legislated which means we will not be able to accept late notices.

“In terms of Section 50(2) Local Government: Municipal Property Rates Act No. 6 of

2004, an objection must be in relation to a specific individual property and not against the General Valuation Roll as such,” Odendaal said.

Objection forms are obtainable at all the Customer Care Centres or on the website www.nelsonmandelabay.gov.za.

The General Valuation Roll for the period July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2021 is open for public inspection at the office of the Chief Financial Officer, Ground Floor, Mfanasekhaya Gqobose Building, Govan Mbeki Avenue, Port Elizabeth, for the period March 1 to April 28, 2017, Mondays to Fridays, from 8am to 4pm, as well as on the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s website.

Completed objection forms must be returned to the City Manager, Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, Valuation Roll, P.O. Box 834, Port Elizabeth, 6000.

Alternatively, they may be handed in at any municipal Customer Care Centre.

Reigning world champ to compete in Bay Ironman REPORTER TWO-TIME reigning women’s Ironman World Champion, Daniela Ryf, has confirmed that she will be on the starting line of the Standard Bank Ironman African Championship in Nelson Mandela Bay, on April 2.

The Swiss maestro has had a remarkable rise in long distance triathlon and was tipped to reach the top early on in her longdistance career.

Today, Ryf is the dominant force in women’s long distance triathlon and has become arguably the most complete athlete in the sport since the great Chrissie Wellington.

She will become the third women’s Ironman World Champion to race in South Africa following Wellington and her compatriot, Natascha Badmann.

Swiss athletes have enjoyed success in South Africa over the years and none more so than Badmann who won Ironman South Africa four times with her final win coming at the age of 45 in 2012. Included in the Swiss contingent to have tasted success in South Africa is Ronnie Schildknecht (2013) and Simone Braendli (2014).

Despite the past success of her compatriots, the World Champion is looking to make her own mark.

“I am looking forward to doing the race and making my own experiences on the course.

I heard it is challenging, which I like. The cycling will be hard, which is probably why most Swiss competitors liked it so far,” said Ryf. With a record that includes the 2015 and 2016 Ironman World Championship as well as the 2014 and 2015 Ironman 70.3 World Championship, Ryf is the clear favourite whenever she races. Her performance at the 2016 Ironman World Championship was nothing short of incredible, leading from the

front, holding off a Mirinda Carfrae charge and breaking the course record in the process. Being used to this level of performance, she does not allow the favourite tag weigh her down – instead, using it to push her forward. “(The pressure of racing as the favourite) hasn’t really changed since last year. I don’t care about the outside pressure anymore, as I have proved myself. I race for myself, that’s why I enjoy it,” added Ryf. In 2011, Chrissie Wellington treated SA triathlon fans to a rare display of power and dominance when she broke the then Ironman women’s world record in Port Elizabeth. She still has fond memories of her time in the country and so too does Ryf, who raced her first World Cup in South Africa in 2006.

Eleven years on, she returns a World Champion and after seeing her dominate Kona in 2016, South African triathlon fans can once again look forward to seeing the world’s best in their own back yard.

Annie Get Your Gun tells the story of Annie Oakley, history’s greatest female sharp shooter, who went from backwoods hunter supporting her four brothers and sisters to the star of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

The timeless classic, last seen on

the PE stage in 1995, will bring together a stellar cast featuring many well-known local performers, as well as some exciting newcomers.

The iconic lead role of Annie Oakley will be played by the super talented Tara-Jane Stern, who is joined by Thuba Myeki as suave ladies’ man Frank Butler.

The cast also features Jacques Batista as Charlie Davenport and powerhouse performer Caitlin Smith as Dolly Tate. The roles of Winnie Tate and Tommy Keeler will be alternated by the Showtime Award winning teams of Kerry-Lee Jeffrey and Phil-

lip Cowie, and Abigail Ranwell and Khuselo Gqiba.

Stage veteran Dennis Slattery, affectionately known as Tarz, will play Chief Sitting Bull, Charl Vollgraaff will portray the roll of Buffalo Bill and Annie’s siblings will be played

by Georgia-Jo Palmer, Brooklyn Plaatjies, Tathan Kersten and Joshua Louw.

The show will run from May 26 to June 10 at the Savoy Theatre. Tickets will be on sale next month. Advance bookings for groups of 20 or more can be made now with Rose Cowpar on 072 906 1977.

Walmer Township tours to feed the needy ZELDRÉ STRAUSS SWANEPOEL WHEN the two friends could no longer afford to provide food parcels for the needy out of their own pockets, they decided, instead of turning their backs on the hungry, to take a bold leap into the unknown.

Duwayne Putter and Loyiso Mafela decided to start offering unique township tours, and to put all of the profit back into their feeding scheme.

Best friends since high school Putter and Mafela have been handing out food parcels to needy residents of Walmer Township on a monthly basis since last year.

Providing the food parcels for 40 families from their own pockets became too costly and they de-

cided to come up with a plan as to neither stop the feeding scheme nor ask for handouts.

“We sat down and thought of ways to make money which would also allow the community of Walmer Township to become involved. So, we came up with the idea to offer guided tours through the area, and named the initiative Ekasi Tours,” explained Putter.

The Ekasi Tours team believe their tours are unique and will have the added bonus of sharing history about the Walmer area not widely known to the public. “Not many people know that the area was initially meant to be a ‘white’ suburb, but in 1898 white business owners wanted their workers to live closer to work, and that is how Walmer Township came about,” explained Putter.

Mafela added, “This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, and we show people the beauty and flair that Walmer Township has. The tour includes a walk on foot with a registered tour guide, where we will also take people to socialise with a resident family within a corrugated iron home. They will also get to experience homecooked meals and traditional beer if they wish.”

Their plans to uplift the community do not stop there. “Within the next two weeks or so we will start with a youth development scheme in which we will empower people aged 18 to 35 with skills training. We will equip them with things such as interview skills - which will assist them in finding employment.”

For more info contact Duwayne on 079 080 9411 or email duwayne@ekasitours.co.za

Madibaz sevens star attends Vancouver rugby festival REPORTER MADIBAZ sevens rugby star Eloise Webb will get another opportunity to display her skills at the highest level when she attends the Vancouver Rugby Festival this week.

The third-year education student at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) in Port Elizabeth will make her second appearance for South Africa in the Canadian tournament, which takes place on March 9 and 10.

but against Australia in the Dubai leg of the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series in December.

Although the South Africans suffered a 38-5 loss, the young flyhalf said the experience boosted her confidence.

“My mentality as a player changed because I realised that we are capable of playing against teams that we normally only see on television,” she said. “We finished eighth after losing to New Zealand in the quarter-finals, but for a team that was only there by invitation and not one of the core teams, we felt it was an excellent result.”

Webb explained that eleven regular teams and one qualifier compete in each leg of the world series to make up the full complement of 12.

In April, the team will head to Hong Kong for the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series qualifier, where the winners will qualify as

one of the core teams for the 2017/2018 series and also earn an entry into the final event in France this June.

Webb said the team had been training hard to improve their fitness and overall skills.

“We train three times a day and each day consists of two field sessions and gym. Our focus is not only on individual skills, but on the team as a whole.”

Despite only getting the better of the United States in their six matches in Dubai, Webb believed their progress would be evident in the coming weeks.

“I feel that we have worked hard and if we carry this forward we should do well.”

She said their 26-7 victory over the US was something positive on which to focus in future matches.

“It shows that we are capable of competing against top teams on the world circuit – we just need to keep working hard.”

Students get hands dirty for CANSA UNCONTAINED excitement filled the atmosphere at Varsity College Port Elizabeth last Wednesday when they hosted a CANSA Shavathon.

The event saw both staff and students get their hands dirty to raise awareness and support for CANSA. They raised a total of R1 000.

The CANSA Shavathon is a joint initiative between two of Varsity College’s student committees, namely VC Cares (Varsity College’s student volunteer body) and the Student Liaison Body (SLB).

“We are all in this together, which is why, during March, awareness is being created on not only the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle, but also to bring hope and encouragement to those who are battling cancer. We also

wanted to show our support for our fellow students and friends who have lost loved ones to cancer,” said Jaci Howell, Student Relations Manager at Varsity College Port Elizabeth.

“The CANSA Shavathon we hosted was loads of fun and a good day to raise awareness for all the fighters, warriors and those affected by cancer,” said first-year IIE Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase student, Chelsea Harty.

Chairperson of the Student Liaison Body, Josh Kilgour, a third-year IIE Bachelor of Commerce student, said, “The energy and teamwork between VC Cares and the SLB were awesome and made for a successful Shavathon.

The turnout was great and the afternoon certainly filled with tons of fun and laughter all around. ” – REPORTER

NAF to feature world renowned saxophonist OVER the last 10 years, the organisers of the annual Northern Arts Festival (NAF) have worked hard to put together a world-class festival and have always found meaningful and interesting ways to involve the community in all their endeavours.

The NAF continues to bring a diverse offering of music to Nelson Mandela Bay and this year will be no exception.

World-renowned saxophonist, Andrew Young from Liverpool, England, will be the main attraction at the Tramways Building on March 24.

“Andrew Young is one of the most prolific saxophonist’s that has ever performed in South Africa. Last year, we had the opportunity to host him and he promised to come back for a second time to perform for us here in Port Elizabeth,” said Billy Paulson, director and founder of the Northern Arts Festival.

“Nandile, the winners of last year’s Sky’s The Limit Talent Search, including two other local acts, will have the opportunity to share the main stage with our featured guest,” said Paulson.

“NAF continues to build the cultural component of the festival. We look forward to giving

a platform to the Eastern Cape traditional arts and crafters to display and sell their works. We will also have different food stalls selling traditional foods before and during interval on the night of the event. We plan to have an unforgettable international night of food, fun and music.”

With this event, the organisers also aim to attract tourists to the city.

“We believe the immediate economic impact and sharing a positive experience will make the NAF Celebration Concert an important event to remember for years to come,” said Paulson.

A community’s overall health can be judged by how successful the arts are and the festival attracted people each year from the Nelson Mandela Bay area, as well as visitors from across South Africa and beyond.

Young will perform at the Northern Arts Festival’s 10th Anniversary Celebration on March 24 in The Tramways Building from 7pm to 9pm.

Tickets are R150 per person and are available from Billy Paulson on 082 443 2209.

AFTER FAILING TO WIN CASINO/LOTTO

OBED & NOOR’S SUPER MAGIC RING HELPED MR CORNELIUS (47) BLUEWATER BAY

Oh my God!! I deeply thank Obed & Noor for helping me to win at a casino. I had tired of people but without help, but after I heard and read in the papers Mr. Cornelius displays his winning about people testifying ticket about Obed and Noor’s free super casino/lotto rings (for gambling). I decided to go and have my last chance as I was in financial crisis.

My house was about to be Antoinette was one of repossessed, my car was Mrs. the jackpot winners already repossessed. I couldn’t even manage to put bread on the table, my children were extremely uncontrolable as I wasn’t able to take care of them. I visited Obed and Noor and they charged me R100 consultation.

They help people with: * Financial problems * Love relationship * Work crisis * Family problems * Bad luck health problems * and many more...

ARE YOU FRUSTRATED AND DEPRESSED FINANCIALLY

(DON'T lose faith, give Prof Hope a try)

Strongest Healer

My name is Reuben, am 48 years old, I stay with my 2 daughters and 2 sons, for a very long time there was no happiness in my life, even my wife left me because I couldn't support my own family. I had to look after my parents, my farther 79 and my mother 76. I was the only breadwinner in our family and I was working as care giver. I struggled financially my kids needed school uniforms, my parents needed help with basic needs as they are elderly. I visited different pastors, prophets and traditional healers but no one could help me. I wasted all the money, but no results, I just kept losing the little I had. I was helpless for many years, until I read a testimony of Gabriel who was testifying the good work Prof Hope did to change his life by using Short boys to put money into his account IN JUST 30min. I made an appointment with him as he explained to me all the options like money rats to put money in the house on same day, short boys to put money in your Account on same day, magic ring to win money games like gambling, casino, lotto and betting. Magic wallet to multiply your money. I chose money rats to put money in my house. He explained to me the process, I couldn't believe when I received the money on the same day. I immediately contacted him and paid him 25% and my sister chose magic ring for lotto and we are financially stable, all thanks to Prof Hope. He also helps with: bring back lost lover, family matters, bring back stolen goods, bind your property, male enlargement.

He also treats over the phone and delivers nationwide plus home visits AROUND Eastern Cape.

PE EXPRESS | WEDNESDAY 8 MARCH 2017

TALKING F1: NATALIE LE CLUE

What does first testing of F1 season reveal?

MOST people would have you believe that first impressions are everything. But this shouldn’t be true in life or motorsport.

Take a new Formula 1 car as an example.

The tantalisingly aggressive lines of a 2017 car and the way in which light gleams off its polished bodywork paints an enticing picture but, in fact, doesn’t even begin to tell the story.

What does reveal its true nature or level of performance is how well the entire aero package and power unit combines on track.

Therefore, F1 teams go testing a few weeks before the new season starts.

It can be foolish to draw conclusions early on given that there is no way in which

S P F

to account for all the moving parts at play.

At any given time fuel loads may differ or engine settings or the tyre compound could be different and these are only some of the variables in the equation.

Nevertheless, hours spent pouring over laptimes and keeping an ear to the ground around the chatter will provide some indications.

From the first four days of testing at Spain’s Catalunya circuit, it is evident that Mercedes have built a good car for 2017.

It churned out 557 laps over four days with one minor technical issue on day four.

Lewis Hamilton even called it the fastest car he’s ever driven and declared it “1000 times better than any other car.”

What was evident, however, is that new signing Valtteri Bottas has some work to do before Australia. The Finn appeared ragged behind the wheel and admitted that swapping Williams for Mercedes was “a bigger deal” than he thought.

For Ferrari’s SF70-H the words “innovative” and “impressive” are used. From the outset of the first morning it was clear that Ferrari has built an impressive car. Between Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen the team completed 467 laps. Its on-track behaviour is described as “painted to the circuit” with a clear improvement in overall downforce.

What’s more indicative of Ferrari’s attitude towards the new season is the manner in which they’ve conducted themselves in the first test. Gone are the daily press statements and bullish declarations by the Ferrari President of winning the title.

Instead, Ferrari is keeping its head down and getting on with business in a manner strikingly reminiscent of the Schumacher era.

The most deceptive car throughout the four days was Red Bull’s RB13. While the Renault engine has made a definite step forward, the performance of the Red Bull remains an unknown. Its exceptionally clean bodywork doesn’t allude to too much, but rest assured that by the time it rolls out of the garage in Australia it is likely to be in contention.

For Fernando Alonso and McLaren the news is not good and the team is bracing

for another difficult season. Frustratingly, the 2017 Honda has shown poor reliability and little progress in terms of power. Oil system issues and problems with the internal combustion engine blighted the first test.

The team ran nowhere near its target and completed only 207 laps over four days.

While McLaren team personnel are trying to assuage fears, Honda have admitted that they are concerned about in which spec they can run the engine for the first race of the year.

With Williams just behind the top three teams, Toro Rosso are set to lead the midfield in the early part of the season.

The Haas F1 Team have lauded the new Ferrari engine but still appears to be lacking rear-end grip and is still figuring out its braking system which plagued all of Romain Grosjean’s 2016 season.

While the new Pirelli tyres may look more aggressive, they are in fact nothing of the sort.

Pirelli’s motorsport director, Paul Hembery, has predicted that, at some circuits, drivers will be able to run an entire race distance on one set of tyres.

But this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It could force more overtaking on track as opposed to overtaking under safety car or in the pitlane, granted cars are able to follow each other.

The final four days of testing ahead of the new season takes place from March 7 to 10 in Spain.

SWIFT SPECIAL EDITION

Suzuki gives the Swift a sporty twist

Opinions and views expressed in advertisements, news reports and columns are not necessarily those of the PE Express, its publishers and staff.

Please note that all advertisements are exempt from errors and omission.

REPORTER

Auto Traders

SUZUKI has introduced a Special Edition Suzuki Swift in South Africa in limited numbers.

The model enhances the Suzuki Swift’s sporty heritage and is designed to celebrate its racing pedigree.

The new Special Edition is called the Suzuki Swift 1.2 RS and arrived at Suzuki dealerships in February.

The new Swift 1.2 RS is based on the very popular manual version of the Suzuki Swift 1.2 GL. This means that it is equipped with creature comforts such as electric windows, a radio/CD player with Bluetooth connectivity, air conditioning and a multi-function steering wheel.

Using this version as a canvas, Suzuki’s designers added front and rear spoilers and side skirts to visually lower the vehicle and create a sporty stance.

Custom dark machined rims on Goodyear Dura tyres add to the appeal, as does a tailgate spoiler fitted flush to the upper lip of the rear hatch door.

The design is further enhanced by special dark blue sporty decals and RS lettering, which is mirrored in the front spoiler and specially painted side mirror covers.

All RS models will be sold in the Arctic White Pearl Metallic colour.

752 Govan Mbeki Avenue, North End, PE - Tel 041 487 1225

DEAN 082 77 20 789

For the Special Edition Suzuki Swift, Suzuki’s designers added front and rear spoilers and side skirts to visually lower the vehicle and create a sporty stance.

PHOTOS:SUPPLIED Inside the 1.2 RS, Suzuki has added custom seat covers to add to the sporty appeal, while the GL’s level of standard equipment and safety features, such as two airbags, remain standard.

The Suzuki Swift remains one of Suzuki’s most popular models globally, with sales of over 5 000 000 units since its introduction.

In South Africa, Suzuki bolstered its range with the addition of the 1.2 litre engine in 2014 and it has since become a highly popular model.

The 1.2 litre 16valve engine has the same free-rev-

ving character as its larger siblings, but benefits from its lighter weight and smaller capacity to deliver a combined fuel consumption figure of only 5.3 litres per 100km.

This engine delivers 63kW and is mated to a five-speed gearbox in the RS model.

“When we conceptualised the 1.2 RS, we set the target of creating an exciting and visually appealing Special Edition for under R200 000.

With a price tag of only R184 800 and a rapidly growing waiting list, we have surely hit our target,” said André Venter, divisional manager for sales and marketing at Suzuki Auto South Africa.

The Swift 1.2 RS is sold with a 2-year/300 00km service plan and a comprehensive warranty for 100 000km over the same period.

Vir die eerste keer in vyf jaar, en in die geskiedenis van DF se gholfdag-kompetisie, is ’n splinternuwe Toyota motor op die spel.

Die eerste speler wat ’n kolhou (“hole-in-one”) aanteken gaan wegstap met ’n Toyota Etios 1.5XS luikrugmotor ter waarde van R180 000.

Die motor word deur Algoa Toyota Port Elizabeth geborg, wat ook van hul ander voertuie by die klub sal vertoon.

SPAR Mount Pleasant is die hoofborg met Toyota en ABSA die mede- borge.

Die inskrywingsgeld vir die gholfdag is R350 per speler of R1 400 vir ’n 4-bal.

Die afslaantyd is kort voor 11vm.

(10.54vm. om presies te wees). Die verdedigende kampioen, Johan Hattingh, gaan ook weer deelneem. Vir meer inligting of besprekings, kontak Mercia Smith by 041 581 3145 of 083 977 6642.

Aurora is a non-profit organisation that caters for mentally and/ or physically disabled children and adults.

They started out in 1978 with a total of six children in their care.

Today, they care for about 40 fulltime residents, twelve disabled

adults who live in the group home and more than one hundred children and adults who visit the centre daily.

The funds raised at the event will go towards a new air conditioner for Aurora’s physiotherapy department.

The environment currently becomes very humid and some of the children have difficulty breathing. The funds will also go towards food for the centre’s residential area.

The annual golf day is one of the

highlights of their year.

Those who wish to contribute to the cause without participating in the actual event can sponsor a Tee or Green at R600 each or contribute a prize and have their name added to the sponsors’ list in return.

The Maritime Motors Aurora Golf Day will take place at 6.30pm.

The cost is R1 200 for a team of four and the format is Individual Stableford.

For more info contact Dudu Mbebe on 041 368 6180.
