IT’S A BEAUTIFUL LIFE(style) EDITOR’S LETTER The first quarter of this year has been a very busy one. Judging from the number of feedback editorials and pictures in this issue, our clubhouse has welcomed many to social and golfing events. Two that come to mind as highlights these past few weeks are the Neon Run and the annual Fishing incorporating our Market Day. Both enjoyed brilliant weather, great turnouts and a fantastic atmosphere. I do hope that this is an indication of more fun times to come. Together with the positive elements in this issue, we have had to incorporate some items that require a more serious tone. An editorial piece on vigilance reminds us that as much as we enjoy a safe and secure lifestyle within our Estate walls, we shouldn’t become complacent when leaving the Estate. Another one addresses liability when children are involved in unfortunate incidences. These are both issues of relevance, importance and should not be taken lightly. As our front cover alludes to, the CHOA is very busy preparing

for the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is our most important meeting of the year and as always, we encourage all home owners to attend. The date will be confirmed shortly so please look out for it. With celebrations of both Easter and Mother’s Day coming up over the next few weeks, I do hope you get to spend the time with your families. For those of you travelling over the upcoming Easter holidays, we wish you a safe journey. As we all soak up the last of the warmer weather, let’s take a minute to appreciate the wonderful lifestyle we get to enjoy as a resident of our beautiful Estate. ‘Till next time.

NEON RUN 10 MARCH 2017 Our 5km Fun Neon Run through the Estate held on Friday, 10 March 2017, was a great success. Over 250 entries, young and old, novice and proâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, all enjoyed the evening with the first 10 runners receiving a medal and many receiving a goodie bag. Thanks to our sponsor for the evening, Telkom, the atmosphere was festive and participants really enjoyed following the neon lights marking out the route. The entry fee was a donation of dog food/treats which was well appreciated by our charity of choice, Adora-Bull Terrior Rescue and Rehabilitation association. We look forward to welcoming residents to our next Fun Run scheduled for early September 2017.

BE VIGILANT AT ALL TIMES... Whilst our security team are doing an excellent job at ensuring our homes, families and lifestyle within Centurion Residential Estate and Country Club is safe and secure, one must never assume that the crime outside our Estate walls is under the same control. I recently chatted with Stoney Steenkamp, Safety and Security Manager, about common criminal acts taking place outside the Estate and he had the following advice to give… Firstly, it seems one of the main opportunistic crime trends at the moment is smash and grabs as well as theft from vehicles parked at local shopping centres. The smash and grab incidents are recurrent at all the intersections around the Estate and don’t think that criminals are working alone. Many a time it’s been discovered that one criminal working at a certain robot will inform another working at the next robot about what is available for smash and grab attempts from your vehicle. According to local Police statistics, the peak times for smash and grab attempts are 16h00 to 20h00 when most people are stuck in traffic and on their phones. Hot spots include intersections near bridges and open fields with ladies being targeted more often than men.

As far as theft from vehicles at local shopping centres is concerned, too often people leave handbags, purses, wallets and other valuables lying in their vehicles and the temptation is great. Rather put valuable items in your boot, out of sight, making it more difficult for potential thieves to see what’s inside your vehicle. Another rather scary situation is falling victim to a potential hijacking of your vehicle. Should you feel vulnerable at any time, please remember that our security spans the control of the whole front section of our entrance gates. Our security teams are well trained with plans in place should a potential threat come to their attention, so all you need to do is the following: • Should you feel you are being followed, drive up to the main gate and stop in the parking lot. (Hence the need to keep our parking lot duration limited!) • Feel free to hoot, shout and make as much noise as possible whilst doing this to alert the guards. • Get out of your vehicle and walk through the boom – this safe area will ensure that you remove yourself from the situation and the armed guards at the gate can come to your aid. Remember that our security guards are trained to assist and will do so. Stopping at the parking area means that you will deter the potential hijackers as they will want to avoid too much attention been drawn to them as well as the possibility APR/MAY 2017 | INTERFACE

that armed reaction will be there to confront them. Please do not be afraid to use this method in the event that you feel uncomfortable or if you feel like you are being followed. Another common criminal act is that of targeted valuables. Whilst many of us, especially ladies, like to wear our beautiful jewellery, many criminals view it as an opportunity to gain some quick cash. It’s not inconceivable to think that you could be targeted in a shopping mall or whilst simply walking down the street so please try to limit the value of the jewellery worn at any given time in an effort to protect yourself. In terms of potential public unrest in the immediate area, our security team will always advise residents thereof and offer alternate routes to be taken. Lastly, please remember that whilst residents of our Estate enjoy crime free living, there will always be an element of opportunistic crime that you could potentially become the victim of. Open windows with laptops easily accessible, doors left unlocked during the night and valuables left out in the garden are all examples of an opportunistic thief ’s luckiest day. Also, ensure that your visitors are aware that when they are your guests within the Estate, their actions will be a direct reflection on you as the resident. It is advisable to make your guests aware of the rules and regulations of the Estate in order to prevent any misunderstandings should there be an unfortunate incident. Crime is an ever evolving occupation – the key is to stay vigilant at all times.

Stoney Steenkamp – new Safety & Security Manager On 1 February 2017, the CHOA welcomed Mr Stoney Steenkamp as the new Safety & Security Manager. Stoney comes from a security background of over 26 years. After working in various aspects in the police service, Stoney joined the private sector. Using his wide skill base, he has assisted in the safety and security for various companies, the latest of which being Midstream Residential Estate. Stoney believes in a holistic approach to safety and security, from the technical to physical aspects and his philosophy is that the standard set does not necessarily reflect the actual situation. He continuously strives to investigate, create awareness and act ‘out of the box’ in order to try to stay ahead of crime tendencies. He believes in a proactive approach to security technology as well as physical security. Stoney has taken on his role as the Safety & Security Manager with ease and we look forward to our continued excellence record for years to come.

INTERFACE | APR/MAY 2017

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS TONIGHT INNOCENT FUN OR SERIOUS LIABILITY? When asked why they prefer the safe and secure environment of the Centurion Residential Estate, most parents would cite the safe freedom of movement for their children within the Estate as one of the decisive factors. Most of us nostalgically remember the days of playing tok-tokkie, raiding the peach trees of the pastorie and other mischief young children got up to, considered by adults in those days as innocent and harmless. Today, the ability to freely and safely (without a parent or caretaker supervision), ride on a bicycle, visit a friend, jog in the neighbourhood or simply roam within the safety of the security walls is a privilege limited to the few whom are able to afford the lifestyle that a security estate provides. Experts in education and child development agree that such ‘acts of independence’ and freedom, within reasonable consideration of the age of the child, are vitally necessary for the developmental milestones of the child. But times have changed. Some playful incidents which were once considered as harmless and innocent are now classified as harassment, intimidation, theft, malicious destruction of property or any one of a plethora of other crimes and transgressions.

In terms of the South African common law, a delict is defined as: ‘the act of a person that in a wrongful and culpable way causes harm to another’. Accordingly, five elements must be met before a person can be held liable for delict, namely: (i) an act; (ii) wrongfulness; (iii) fault; (iv) harm; and (v) causation. In South African common law ‘harm’ as an element of a delict ‘should fall into one of two broad categories: patrimonial harm and non-patrimonial harm. The latter is further divided into two categories: pain and suffering, and infringement of personality interests’. If any one or more of these elements are missing, in terms of the common law, there is no delict and consequently no liability. Firstly, young children who do not have the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong cannot be liable for delict. In customary law, it is beautifully explained by the maxim that they ‘do not have eyes to see’. The criminal capacity in the Child Justice Act 75 of 2008, changed the common law as was applicable at the time and amended the common law principle of criminal capacity by raising the minimum age of criminal capacity from 7 to 10 years, which means that no child under the age of 10 years can be prosecuted for infringement of the penal law. The Act retained the common law rebuttable presumption of doli incapax pertaining to criminal capacity and only amended the presumption by raising the lower age of the presumption from 7 to 10 years. APR/MAY 2017 | INTERFACE

Therefore, in terms of section 7(2) of the Act a child, 10 years or older but under the age of 14 years is presumed to lack criminal capacity, unless the prosecution proves, beyond reasonable doubt, that the child had the capacity to appreciate the difference between right and wrong at the time of the commission of an alleged offence; and act in accordance with that appreciation. The following information pertains to children 10 years or older but under the age of 14 years: From the provisions in the Act governing the establishment of the criminal capacity of a child, it is clear that it is the intention of the legislature to ensure that the criminal capacity of the child is considered at the earliest possible point (within 48 hours from when the child has been arrested) in the child justice process, thereby ensuring that the child is afforded the protection that the rebuttable presumption clearly offers children between the applicable ages. To achieve this, the Act provides that every child who is alleged to have committed an offence must be assessed by a probation officer unless assessment has been dispensed with by the prosecutor and the reasons for such dispensing have been recorded by the inquiry magistrate. One of the purposes of the assessment, is to express a view on whether expert evidence on the criminal capacity of such a child would be required. After completion of the assessment, the probation officer must compile the assessment report with recommendations on various issues stipulated in the Act, including, where applicable: the ‘possible criminal capacity’ of the child, as well as measures to be taken in order to prove criminal capacity. The assessment report must be submitted to the prosecutor before commencement of the preliminary inquiry and, in the case where the child offender has been arrested, the preliminary inquiry must be conducted within 48 hours after the arrest. The prosecutor, who is required to decide whether or not to prosecute a child must, take the following factors into account: • The educational level, cognitive ability, domestic and environmental circumstances, age and maturity of the child; • The nature and seriousness of the alleged offence; • The impact of the alleged offence on any victim; • The interests of the community; • A probation officer’s assessment report; • The prospects of establishing criminal capacity if the matter were to be referred to a preliminary inquiry; • The appropriateness of diversion; and • Any other relevant factor. If the prosecutor is of the opinion that criminal capacity is not likely to be proved, he or she must withdraw the charge and may cause the child to be taken to a probation officer for further action, if any (section 9). If the prosecutor is of the opinion that

criminal capacity is likely to be proved, he or she may divert the matter before the preliminary inquiry, if the child is alleged to have committed an offence referred to in Schedule 1; or refer the matter to a preliminary inquiry. One of the objectives of the preliminary inquiry is to consider the assessment report of the probation officer, with particular reference to the view of the probation officer regarding the criminal capacity of the child, and whether an evaluation of the criminal capacity of the child by a suitably qualified person is necessary. The preliminary inquiry is in essence, the first appearance of the child in a lower court. The diversion of matters is another objective of the preliminary inquiry, but the inquiry magistrate may only divert the matter if he or she is satisfied that the child had the necessary criminal capacity at the time of the commission of the offence (section 49(1)(b)). The Act furthermore states that the inquiry magistrate must consider the assessment report of the probation officer when making a decision regarding the criminal capacity of the child, before diverting the matter during the preliminary inquiry. The inquiry magistrate, therefore, only considers the criminal capacity of the child when he or she wants to divert the matter and not when deciding on the placement of the child or when referring the matter to the child justice court. The inquiry magistrate or child justice court may, of its own accord, or on the request of the prosecutor or the child’s legal representative, order an evaluation of the criminal capacity of the child by a suitably qualified person (psychiatrist or psychologist). In terms of section 11(3) the evaluation must include an assessment of the cognitive, moral, emotional, psychological and social development of the child. This written evaluation report must be submitted to the inquiry magistrate or the child justice court within 30 days of the date of the order. Section 11(5) provides that, where the inquiry magistrate has found that the child’s criminal capacity has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, he or she may, if it is in the best interest of the child, cause the child to be taken to a probation officer for any further action (section 9). In instances where the prosecutor decided to prosecute the child and the matter has not been diverted by the prosecutor or the inquiry magistrate, the matter must be referred to the child justice court for plea and trial. During the trial in the child justice court, the prosecution must prove, beyond reasonable doubt, the capacity of a child to appreciate the difference between right and wrong at the time of the commission of an alleged offence and to act in accordance with that appreciation. Although the onus rests on the State to prove criminal capacity, there is no legal obligation to prove it prior to putting charges to the child or at any specific stage during the prosecution. According to section 11(2)(b) of the Act, the child justice court must also, when making a decision on the criminal capacity of the child in question for purposes of plea and trial, consider the assessment report of the probation officer and all evidence placed before it prior to conviction, which evidence may include a report of an evaluation on criminal capacity by a suitably qualified person. Where the child justice court has found that the child’s criminal capacity has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt he or she may, if it is in the best interest of the child, cause the child to be taken to a probation officer for any further action.

It is thus evident that ‘innocent playfulness’ can cause irreparable harm to a child, his/her future and lead to a criminal conviction, if pursued by the courts. In South African common law, a parent is not liable for the unlawful acts committed by his/her children, irrespective of the child’s age. However, by electing to reside within the Centurion Residential Estate and Country Club, the property owner as a Member of the Company (NPC) is held liable for the actions of the occupiers and/or visitors et cetera, in terms of the rules. Over and above the fact that ‘innocent game’ or other actions could have dire consequences for your child, you could be held liable by the Directors and thus your co-Members for damage and/or loss caused by these actions of your offspring and/or their friends. It is therefore of utmost importance that you shall raise your child with awareness and responsibility, but more importantly, know what they are up to. *Articles written by Ann Skelton and others, the Justice Alliance Project as well as Elmarie Knoetze were liberally consulted and used in the writing of this contribution.

CENTURION COUNTRY CLUB’S PROFESSIONALS TAKE OVER JOBURG! Firstly, with the Men’s Joburg Open. This was played at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Clubs and we had no more than three of our members in the top four with of course, the winner, Darren Fichardt. Darren fired a birdie at the last hole in the final round to post a -4 68 and finished one shot clear of Stuart Manley and Paul Warring.

Johannesburg shooting an incredible 29. Kim ended up winning the Ladies Joburg Open by 5 shots.

With this win Darren also secured a spot in this year’s Open Championship. Jacques Kruyswijk and Brandon Stone finished only two shots off the pace to tie fourth.

With Kim Williams winning the Ladies Joburg Open and Darren Fichardt winning the Men’s Joburg Open this means that both trophies belong to Centurion Country Club members - what a feat and many congratulations to the both of you.

Fast forward two weeks and in the Ladies Joburg Open that was also played at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Clubs, Kim Williams flew the Centurion Country Club’s flag high again. Kim overcame an early triple bogey to shoot a -5 67, racing through the back nine at Royal

Minimally invasive robotic prostate surgery for early prostate cancer

14 Robotic surgery is dramatically improving the treatment of prostate cancer in South Africa, reducing side effects and lowering levels of incontinence and impotence signiﬁcantly compared to conventional open surgery. Almost 1959 robotic prostatectomies have been performed in SA in the last two-and-a-half years and robotic surgery is now also being applied to kidney and bladder procedures.

This advanced technology is being used to treat early prostate cancer and some kidney and bladder cancer. In the next decade, robotic-assisted surgery will be introduced into most other surgical disciplines, fundamentally changing surgical practice.

The sophisticated robotic surgical system expands the surgeon’s capabilities and offers state-of-the-art, minimally invasive major surgery with improved outcomes.

Dr. Greg Boustead, specialist urologist, robotic surgeon and international trainer in robotic surgery, is based at Netcare Waterfall City Hospital in Midrand.

Patient beneﬁts from robotic surgery: • Excellent cancer control • Improved functional outcomes • Less blood loss and fewer transfusions • Shortened hospital stay • Less pain • Lower risk of infection and complications • Fast recovery and return to normal activities

CENTURION BRIDGE CLUB BIDS US FAREWELL During 1998 the Estate asked Wim Skinner to form a social Bridge Club at the Centurion Country Club. After some publicity and lots of research, 10 interested bridge playing persons started the Bridge Club under the guidance and chairmanship of the late Professor Wim Skinner. The final selected system played at the club was, and remained the ‘BODD’ system where individuals played without the same partner all evening. The club met twice a month and enjoyed tea/coffee and deserts or snacks with each event. With so much TV on offer, it was probably inevitable that interest in bridge would gradually dwindle. As a result, we had very few new younger members joining. When the Midstream Bridge Club opened we were well supported by their members visiting us on a fairly regular basis, but a good deal of our own members ceased to play actively here.

In 2006 Willem de Kok presented the floating trophy for Best Top ten Scores annually and a short while later, Vincent Blasl presented another floating trophy for Best Individual Score over the year.

When players dwindled to between 4 and 8 players per evening, it was realised that it would be sensible for us to disband the club and rather join up with Midrand, who play every Monday, alternating between contract and duplicate bridge. Our members have enjoyed some very friendly sociable evenings and have been well supported by the Golf Club. When both trophies have been engraved with the latest annual winners, they will be retained by the Golf Club and displayed in one of the cabinets.

PGA WORLD CUP PRO-AM During the week of 25 February to 4 March 2017, Jannes Sik represented Centurion Country Club together with club members, Flip Diedericks, Gerhard Theron and Peter Roberts in the PGA World Club Pro-Am. This exclusive event was played over 5 rounds and 4 courses - Cotswold Down Country Club, Zimbali Country Club, Beachwood Golf Course and Durban Country Club. It was also co-sanctioned with the PGA’s of Europe making it truly an international event. All the courses were in tip-top condition considering all the water restrictions they have experienced over the last year. Durban Country Club for was truly a special course with it deservingly being named one of the top courses in the country. APR/MAY 2017 | INTERFACE

The Centurion Country Club team tried their best during the tournament but with 30km/h at Beachwood Country Club on the Wednesday, the team unravelled in the wind.

LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE IN THE GEORGE AREA! Centurion Country Club member Jaco Kriek recently had a week he will never forget. During a golf tour down to the George area in March 2017 Jaco managed to do something very special. He started off his golfing week with high hopes and so he should have… On Thursday, 9 March 2017 he teed up at Simola Country Club in Knysna. When he stood on the 9th tee box his week was about to get a whole lot better as he managed to hit the perfect shot using his 5 iron and a Srixon golf ball. He recorded his first ever hole-in-one and he was needless to say, over the moon and could not believe that this had finally happened to him. But wait. There's more. The very next day on Friday, 10 March 2017 the group travelled to Pinnacle Point Country Club - without a doubt, one of the most breath taking courses in the world. Jaco got to the tricky 7th Hole at Pinnacle Point with wind blowing round 30 km/h and he made sure he had enough club to clear the drop. He stood on the tee box with his 9 iron and when he hit his shot it was on line (he was just hoping he had the correct club!). When his Titleist ball landed on the green the players with him could not believe what they just witnessed. Jaco did it again. His second holein-one within 24 hours after achieving his first one!

Not many people have the privilege of hitting two hole-inones in a lifetime, never mind in two days! Well done to Jaco.

RACE TO THE JUNIOR TROPHY The Race to the Junior Trophy 2017 kicked off on Saturday, 4 March 2017. This event will be played over the next year with a round every first Saturday of the month. The format for this event is an individual stableford, with the top 3 juniors each week scoring maximum points. An order of merit will be held for all the juniors competing in this event throughout the year and the top 8 juniors will qualify for the final event in January 2018. It was great to see all the juniors out on the golf course this Saturday with 16 players taking part in the first event of the year. Congratulations to the winners of this month’s event: • 1st Wihan vd Walt • 2nd Lesego Ndlovu • 3rd Amani Mulaudizi INTERFACE | APR/MAY 2017

WHY BIRDS MATTER!

For most people living in the city, one of first things they notice when they venture away on holidays to quieter places is that they can hear the birds! The hustle and bustle of suburban living often drowns out nature’s most beautiful songs – those being the many different bird calls we don’t even notice around us. Bringing a little bit of ‘wildlife’ into our back gardens, birds not only have an important role in our ecosystem, but they also are a daily reminder of season changes and just how beautiful nature is. We mostly hear the birds in the summer months, when the sun rises earlier and we are still in bed, the sweet tunes of the early morning birds are a welcome reminder that the weather is warmer and the days are longer. With some birds migrating in the winter months, we often don’t hear them as much because by the time the sun has risen, most of us are already busy with our daily lives.

Apart from their obvious functions in nature such as pollination and controlling insects, to many birds are a symbol of possibility, freedom to soar without boundaries and a closer link to nature. Research recently done by the academics at the University of Exeter, the British Trust for Ornithology and the University of Queensland, indicates that people who live in neighbourhoods with more birds, shrubs and trees are less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. With so much emphasis on why birds matter to us, as humans, it’s just as important for us to ensure that we preserve our birdlife as we best we can. One way of doing so is to create a habitat for our local bird population that encourages them to perform their natural tasks. Let’s be honest – our birds are in trouble. Urbanisation, droughts, fewer trees – these are just a few of the factors having a detrimental effect on our birdlife and if it goes unnoticed our great grandchild won’t be able to appreciate the vast variety of birdlife that we get to appreciate every day. APR/MAY 2017 | INTERFACE

Our own back gardens have become more important than ever as we try to reintroduce, revive and replenish vegetation in our suburbs. Apart from trees and shrubbery, there is a vast amount of planning that needs to go into ensuring your garden is a haven for our local birds. For example, smaller birds appreciate dense undergrowth whilst bigger species appreciate the trees. The best is to take note of our local birdlife, research their ideal habitats and try to build your garden around that. We need to work together with nature to ensure that our urbanisation doesn’t completely destroy their ability to perform their important tasks. Pretty to look at and lovely to hear, birds are a fundamental part of our lives.

ROMANCE WAS IN THE AIR... Our Valentines Picnic Under the Stars on Tuesday, 14 February 2017 went down a treat. Couples were spoilt with a picnic basket filled with delectable goodies which included amongst other things, sparkling wine, yummy savoury nibbles, home-made chocolate truffles and sweet strawberries. Seated comfortably on blankies out on the fairway which was adorned with candlelit lanterns, they were serenaded with beautiful music by Lemon and Limelight. It was a pity that nature played its part and regrettably shortened the couplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crooning for the evening when the heavens opened up. However, this did not dampen the spirits and many couples headed for cover in the clubhouse where they continued their special evening.

WINE PAIRING EVENING WITH BEYERSKLOOF WINES On Wednesday evening, 8 March 2017, we hosted another one of our special wine pairing evenings. This time we paired up with Beyerskloof Wines with their excellent selection of wines which was excellent with the superb menu that Chef Eduard and his team had prepared. The evening started with Prawn Ceviche Vol au Vents and a crisp Pinotage Dry Rose followed by the appetiser of steamed Kingklip paired with the Chenin Blanc. A second course of Duck and Red Cherry salad was served with the Traildust blend followed by mains of Spiced Lamb Loin paired with the Pinotage Reserve. We ended off with the Lagara Dessert Wine paired with Blackberry Panna Cotta served with brandy infused roastedÂ plums. Needless to say, guests did not go home hungry. Look out for our next themed dinner scheduled for 21 June 2017. INTERFACE | APR/MAY 2017

GIVING YOUR OLD FURNITURE A NEW LOOK Do not throw away your old couches or chairs as here are a couple of ways to give them a new look:

PLAIN SEATS AND DIFFERENT FABRICS

1. Remember, older pieces of furniture were made to last so rather use the skeleton and change the shape and contours of your existing furniture pieces to make them ‘new’ again. 2.

Foam, webbing and springs can all be renewed. Fabric chosen can add a new modern look to the furniture.

BEFORE

AFTER

You can add a contrast piping to enhance the shape of the furniture or you can add plain seats for a different look.

PIPING ADDED

On wingbacks or some occasional chairs, change the skirt or take it off to expose the legs. Alternatively, you could just change the legs to a modern stainless steel.

Take away channelling, buttons, etc in the upholstery and add a smooth look.

You can shorten your sofa, increase the height, change arms from round to square or change coffee tables to ottamans.

7. Be individual and choose your own fabrics from velvets to stunning florals. Put your own signature to your piece and make a ‘wow’ statement in your home. 8.

When re-upholstering think ‘outside the box’ by using different textures, designs and paint colours for the legs or arms – try lightening up old dark pieces of furniture.

If you feel you don’t want to re-upholster then make up a bespoke piece furniture for your home. Making up furniture from scratch means you can get the size and style you want – choosing your own colour and fabric too.

RECIPE ITALIAN BROCCOLI & SALMON BAKE Take a fresh look at broccoli with this creamy pasta bake

Prep: 25 mins - 35 mins Cook: 30 mins Level: Easy Serves 4

INGREDIENTS • 250g Penne • 300g Broccoli, cut into large florets • 30ml Butter • 62.5ml Plain flour • 600ml Milk • 125ml Mascarpone cheese • 8 Sundried tomatoes (preserved in olive oil), drained and thickly sliced* • 10 Large fresh basil leaves, roughly torn • 4 Fresh skinless salmon fillets** • 125ml Mature cheddar finely grated * Can be replaced with cherry tomatoes ** Can be replaced with chicken fillets

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 170C and get an ovenproof dish (measuring 20 by 30cm, and about 5cm deep). 2. Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and pasta and cook for a further 4 minutes or until the broccoli is on the firm side of just tender. Drain well. 3. While the pasta is cooking, put the butter, flour and milk in a large pan and heat, whisking or stirring continuously, until it thickens to make a smooth sauce. 4. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil, then add the pasta and broccoli and season well. 5. Halve the salmon fillets widthways (you will see that there is an obvious divide on each fillet) and place the salmon pieces in a single layer on the base of the ovenproof dish. Spoon the broccoli mixture on top, then scatter with the grated cheddar. 6. Bake for 30 minutes until the mixture is just starting to bubble round the edges and the mixture is pale golden .

NOW IS THE TIME FOR A ‘PLAN B’ IN EUROPE! Securing a second citizenship or permanent residency status in another country is something that many South Africans would like to acquire. The main reason being a personal one: to assure their family’s future by implementing a tangible ‘Plan B’ by protecting against political risk as well as economical instability. Europe is the world’s largest single market and global trading block, and is still the most favoured destination for investors. The attraction of having unlimited access to the EU and the UK is where a second citizenship in Europe has it’s merits. But the real benefits are being able to travel, live, work and study anywhere in the European Economic Area plus enjoy visa-free travel to many countries in the world. Securing permanent residency status is also appealling because it gives the holders of the residence permit the legal right to live in that country without having to go through onerous immigration processes should they wish to make a permanent move. There are a few countries in Europe offering the chance to secure a second passport or permanent residency status, but the choice of where to invest can be daunting. Investors are advised to assess each programme to understand the minimum investment amount, the pre-requisites in terms of documentation, any travel limitations and all of the costs – both immediate and ongoing. Cyprus, an ex-British colony, full EU member and not part of Greece, currently has the most attractive second citizenship plan on offer; as well as the best permanent residency programme available. • Citizenship is granted in 3 months via Cyprus’ ‘Citizenship through investment’ programme: - this is the quickest process in Europe; - the main investor, spouse, all dependent children up to 28 years of age; as well as the parents of the investor all qualify; - this is an investment – not a donation;

- the property/ies CAN be rented out to earn a Euro based income; - the property/ies only need to be kept for 3 years, where after they can be sold as long as a property worth min €500k is retained; and - citizenship is passed down through descent offering a real legacy to future generations. • Permanent residency is granted in 4 to 6 weeks on the ‘Fast Track’ programme: - this is the only programme in Europe where 3 generations in the same family (including both the parents and the parents-in-law) all acquire permanent residency by buying one property!; - dependent children up to 25 years old qualify; - the property can be rented out; and there is no requirement to live in Cyprus, nor be domiciled there for tax. Cyprus also has the following lifestyle benefits: 1. Cyprus is economically stable and politically secure – the country is not flooded with refugees. 2. Properties in Cyprus offer excellent value for money when compared to other European countries – especially homes right on or near to The Med. 3. The lifestyle is similar to South Africa: the golf courses are world-class, the countryside is breathtakingly beautiful and Cyprus has 57 blue-flag status beaches, the cleanest seas in the Med and a mountain range where it snows for 3 months. 4. No inheritance tax: on your death you can dispose of your assets to your loved ones without having to pay any tax. This is advantageous for legacy planning. 5. There are no social problems in Cyprus: and because of this Cyprus has huge appeal as a destination for relocation, retirement, holiday-making and investment.

Some other attractions that Cyprus offers are: • being an ex-British colony, there is no language barrier – everyone speaks English and all your documentation is in English. No need for a translator!; • the discovery of natural gas is already having a positive impact on foreign investment and infrastructural development; • low cost of living; • Euro-accredited education gives your children a distinct advantage when they enter the global job market; • Europe on your doorstep: Cyprus has 2 International Airports and several marinas; and • First world medical facilities and affordable healthcare with highly qualified doctors and specialists. An astute offshore property investment that works for you in the short, medium and long term is the achievement of a lifetime. In Cyprus investing in the ‘Citizenship through Investment’ or the ‘Fast Track’ residency programme not only makes financial sense, but it will tangibly benefit your family for generations to come. Can you afford not to take advantage of this while the programmes are still open? Cypriot Realty – a proudly South African company in operation for nearly 9 years – can assist you. We are recognised and respected as Southern Africa's authoritative offshore investment specialists, promoting Cyprus as an ideal destination for acquiring EU citizenship or permanent residency, property investment, immigration or retirement and starting an EU-based business - we understand investor's needs.

Contact us for a confidential meeting to discuss how we can help you realise you and your family’s ‘Plan B’ in Europe.
