Dertien koorsbome in Montana het byna ’n herrie veroorsaak toe die departement van omgewingsake onlangs dié majes-tueuse bome moes afsaag en ’n ontstelde inwoner bereid was om haarself aan ’n koorsboom vas te ketting om die proses stop te sit.

Volgens inwoner Joan Meyer, het sy byna op haar rug geval toe sy die eerste keer merk dat daar aan die bome reg oor-kant haar huis gesaag word.

“My hart het gebreek. Dié bome groei jy nie in ’n leeftyd nie en dit was so hart-seer om te sien hoe hulle verwyder word,” het Meyer gesê.

Volgens die departement van omgewing-sake het hulle egter talle klagtes van inwo-ners ontvang en moes hul noodgedwonge die koorsbome afsaag. “Die dorings steek onder andere motorbande stukkend en is ook gevaarlik vir voetgangers en fietsryers. Die bome se dorings kan regdeur ’n skoen-sool steek. Hierdie bome het ook ongeloof-like groot wortels wat later groot skade aan die pad kan aanrig,” het Willem Otto van die departement gesê.

BMW plant to expandExports from the BMW plant in Rosslyn are expected to double and could mean the creation of 600 new jobs

Vervolg op bladsy 2Twee werkers laai die takke van koorsbome wat in Klipmossiestraat afgesaag is op ’n trok. Volgens die departement van omgewingsake is dié bome op versoek van inwoners afgesaag. ’n Inwoner was egter hewig ontsteld oor dié pragbome verwyder moes word.

Exports from BMW’s Rosslyn plant were expected to double over the next few months resulting in the creation of some 600 new jobs.

Installed production capacity was said to increase beyond 90 000 cars by 2013 and to cope with the demand, BMW would introduce a third shift, resulting in the em-

ployment of additional workers, Tshwane metro’s Executive Mayor Kgosiento Ram-okgopa said last week.

Addressing an event announcing the fourth Tshwane International Trade and Infrastructure Investment Conference (TITIIC 2012) to take place from 23 to 25 May, the mayor said the conference

gave a clear signal that the new City of Tshwane was ‘open for business’.

He said the metro’s relationship with BMW, among others, was currently at an all-time high.

“The production of the new BMW 3-series commenced in Rosslyn last month,” Ramokgopa said, adding that exports from

the motor manufacturer would therefore double, bringing in the much needed eco-nomic activities to the city and resulting in the creation of 600 jobs.

Meyer het egter voet by stuk gehou dat dié storie nie vir haar rym nie. “As dit wel die rede is, waarom word daar dan koors-bome in Zambesirylaan geplant?”

Otto het verduidelik dat ontwikkelaars en inwoners soms nie heeltemal ingelig is oor die probleme wat koorsbome kan mee-bring voor hulle dit plant nie. “Ongelukkig word dié bome soms sonder ons medewete geplant dan moet dit later met groot onkos-te uitgehaal word as gevolg van probleme wat dit begin veroorsaak. Otto het inwoners aangeraai om met die departement te skakel voordat hulle enige bome op sypaadjies plant. Hy het bygevoeg dat hy Meyer se bekommernis verstaan en dat hulle daarom besluit het om die laaste drie koorsbome, wat met Rekord se besoek nog nie afgesaag was nie, daar te laat.

“Inwoners hoef nie bekommerd te wees nie. Die departement sal nie net op straat invaar en bome afsny nie. Die proses word versigtig oorweeg voor ’n besluit geneem word,” het Otto gesê.

One woman was killed and 40 injured after a bus overturned on the N1 near Murray Hill north of Pretoria on Saturday morning.

According to Nectare 911 spokesperson Jeffrey Wicks, it appeared if the driver of the bus lost control, causing the bus to overturn approximately 10 km from the Pumulani Toll Plaza.

“Paramedics arrived at the scene to find that nearly 40 occupants, who had climbed through the broken windows of the bus, had sustained minor injuries. A 13-year-oldboy lay trapped beneath the wreckage and had to be freed with the Jaws of Life. He was later airlifted to the Charlotte Maxeke Academic Hospital,” Wicks said.

It was one of many serious accidents that had occurred in Pretoria over the long weekend. On Thursday evening a nine-ve-hicle pile up was caused after a bus alleg-edly crashed into slow-moving traffic on the N1 near the Zambesi off-ramp.

According to Jeffrey Wicks, a three-year-old boy was critically injured in the pile-up and was airlifted to the Steve Biko Academic Hospital. Nine other people sus-tained minor injuries in the pile-up.

In another incident, a man believed to be

5 dead and scores injured on roads

A coach liner which overturned on the N1 near the Pumulani Toll Plaza on Saturday, left one dead and 40 injured. Rescue workers had their hands full at the scene of the acci-dent.

a vagrant, was killed on Friday when he ap-parently stumbled in front of an oncoming vehicle in Brooklyn Road near the Menlo Road Junction.

An accident in Mayville also claimed a life on Friday after a minibus taxi drove into a bakkie in Paul Kruger Street.

In another serious accident over the long weekend, two people were killed and a third seriously injured after two vehicles

collided on the N4 near the Watermeyer Road on Saturday morning.

“It appeared that both vehicles were travelling in the same direction. One of the vehicles slammed into the rear of the other, causing the front vehicle to spin out of control. Two people sustained fatal injuries and a third, who was critically injured, was taken to the Steve Biko Academic Hospi-tal,” Wicks said.

He added that the BMW group also an-nounced recently that it would partner with the metro on a waste-to-energy project.

“The project is similar to a landfill gas programme which is currently responsible for providing the BMW plant in Spartan-burg, South Carolina in America, with about half of its energy requirements,” the mayor said.

He pointed out that the BMW example

was just one of many private sector led developments that were taking place in the city.

Since the gazetting of the National Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Bill by the trade and industry department, efforts were at an advanced stage to declare the Auto-motive Supplier Park in Rosslyn as a SEZ, Ramokgopa said.

“This classification will position the facility as an integral element of the city’s investment facilitation strategy and broader industrial development programme.

In this regard, the metro and the Sup-plier Park Development Corporation (SPDC) have committed funding for the purpose of undertaking a comprehensive economic impact assessment on the facility as an SEZ,” the mayor said.

According to the mayoral committee member responsible for economic devel-opment and planning, Subesh Pillay, the purpose of the fourth TITIIC was to raise the investment profile of Pretoria as an attractive destination for large-scale, long-term investments.

“The conference will bring together the private sector and the city and priority areas of investment will be showcased as well as further opportunities for private-public synergy,” Pillay said.

According to him, the metro had identi-fied several sectors as offering opportuni-ties for private sector support, development and investment including automotive and components, tourism, agriculture and agro-processing, mixed manufacturing, aero-space and aviation technology and business outsourcing and off-shoring.

Residents were extremely unhappy with new street name signs that seemed to have appeared overnight in several areas.

The Tshwane metro was, however, well within its rights to start the name change process and an urgent applica-tion for an interdict by AfriForum on Monday to try and put a stop to the process was turned down.

New names that have already been put up are Nico Smith Street (Michael Brink), Stanza Bopape Street (Church), Solomon Mahlangu Drive (Hans Strijdom) and January Masilela Drive (General Louis Botha).

Councillors from different areas voiced their frustration regarding the street names, but, according to council-lor Elmarie Linde from ward 54, it fell on deaf ears.

She said the new policy on local geo-graphical names was approved providing the metro adhered to various condi-tions. One of these conditions was that the old names stay visible next to the new names for two years, but the Execu-tive Mayor, Kgosientso Ramokgopa,decided it will only stay visible for six months. “This is but one of the reasons why we say the renaming of the 25 streets are not according to policy.”

She said during the mediation of renaming the streets, the metro received approximately 3 600 objections regard-ing the proposed names. “Residents did submit alternative names, but these sug-gestions were ignored.”

The fight is however far from over.Kallie Kriel, CEO of civil rights

organisation AfriForum, said they had applied for an urgent High Court inter-dict to stop the metro from going ahead

with the name changes and were await-ing the ruling. “We are not satisfied with the manner in which the name change process were conducted. That is why we turned to the courts. We are determined to stop the metro from going ahead with their street name changes,” he said.

Ben Wannenburg, councillor of ward 50, was also not satisfied with the met-ro’s street name change procedures.

“I am currently in talks with the prov-ince to get clarity regarding Zambesi Drive. I want to know how it is possible for the metro to change a provincial road. It doesn’t work like that.”

According to Wannenburg, he had submitted a petition with approximately 2 000 signatures against the proposed name change in 2009 and was currently drawing up a second petition to fight for Zambesi Drive.

Pieter de Necker, mayoral spokes-person, confirmed that the new street names would be placed along the old street names for the next six months to two years. “It is in the interest of motor-ists to inform themselves about the new names,” he said.

De Necker confirmed the name change process would cost metro tax-payers around R1,7-million.

’n Gesin in die weste van Pretoria vrees vir hul veiligheid na ’n buurman se pitbul-terriërs glo onlangs oor die gesin se muur gespring het en twee van hul troeteldiere verskeur het.

Christine Nicholson van Kwaggasrand se honde, Sheba, ’n labrador-kruising en Prinses, ’n foksterriër, is onlangs in aparte voorvalle vyf dae uitmekaar deur die bure se twee pitbul-terriërs doodgebyt.

Nicholson, wat nou vir haar drie klein-kinders se lewens vrees, het in trane vertel hoe haar twee geliefde troeteldiere enkele dae uitmekaar voor haar verskeur is.

“Die pitbul-teef het in my erf gekom en Sheba aangeval. Ons het geskree, met wa-ter gespuit en geslaan maar kon die teef nie stop nie. Ons het die polisie gebel en hulle was vinnig op die toneel, maar hulle het nie magtiging gehad om te skiet nie. Die DBV kon ook nie help nie,” het ’n hartseer Nicholson gesê.

Troeteldiere verskeurVolgens Nicholson moes sy Sheba as

gevolg van die wonde wat die dier opge-doen het, laat uitsit. Nicholson het die me-diese rekening aan die buurman oorhandig en aangedring dat hy met sy diere ’n plan maak. “Hy het net skouers opgetrek en jammer gesê. Ek het vir hom gesê as ’n dier een keer doodgemaak het, sal hy dit weer doen. Ek het net nie besef dit gaan so gou weer gebeur nie,” het Nicholson gesnik.

Volgens Nicholson was sy ’n paar dae later in haar tuin doenig toe sy die pitbul-terriër reg agter haar gewaar.

“Ek het begin skree en die hond het vir Prinses, wat op die agterstoep in die son-netjie gelê en bak het, aan die keel gegryp. Die ander pitbul-terriër was vinnig by. Ons het alles probeer doen maar kon nie keer dat die twee honde Prinses doodbyt nie.”

Volgens Nicholson se seun Brendt, wat uitgehardloop gekom het toe hy sy ma se gille hoor, het die buurvrou tydens die voorval uitgekom, maar die gesin se nood-krete geïgnoreer.

Nicholson vrees nou vir haar klein-kinders, wat onderskeidelik ses, sewe en 11 jaar oud is se veiligheid.

“Die honde het vir Prinses op die stoep by die kombuis kom haal. Wat as een van die kleintjies daar gesit het?”

Volgens Nicholson weier die bure steeds om iets aan die honde te doen. Die DBV het bevestig dat hulle nie met sulke voor-valle werk nie en gesê dat die Tshwane-metropolisie wel dié soort sake hanteer.

Volgens die metropolisie se woordvoer-der, Alta Fourie, het hulle geen klagte in verband met die voorval ontvang nie, maar hulle gaan ondersoek instel.

“As inwoners soortgelyke probleme met diere ervaar kan hulle die metropolisie by 012-358-0700 kontak,” het Fourie gesê.

Members of the Sinoville and Mamelodi police are standing together to support one of their own, who is cur-rently battling with a life-threatening illness.

Lieutenant Colonel Lourens Badenhorst from the Mamelodi

police was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer two years ago and an extremely tough journey had followed since.

Doctors broke the news to Badenhorst in January last year

that a bone marrow transplant was the only way forward.

His fellow policemen since embarked on a drive

to raise money for the costly process of find-

ing a suitable donor.“There is no

alternative, the chemotherapy is only delaying the process and

therefore I need to receive a bone marrow transplant,” Badenhorst said.

Badenhorst explained that the process of finding a 100% donor match was complicated.

“My sister was the first to be tested but it didn’t turn out to be a match. A match could also not be found in South Africa. So the process went international. Five Italians were identified but the last remaining candidate fell out two months ago.”

According to Badenhorst, the process for a new candidate had to start from scratch and doctors managed to identify three Ger-mans a short while ago, of which one candidate remains on the shortlist.

“Unfortunately it is a costly process and the tests which are necessary to establish whether the candidates match 100%, are expensive,” Badenhorst admitted.

According to Badenhorst, his medical aid will take responsibility

for the medical bills from his first day of admittance to hospital.

“The medical aid do not cover the costs involved in finding a donor because the process is so complicated.”

The Sinoville and Mame-lodi police have stepped up and launched moneyraisers to help with Badenhorst’s medical ex-penses.

“We are aware there are many people who suffer from cancer, but we are in a position to make a dif-ference to one of our own ‘family’ members,” Mirna von Benecke from the Sinovile police said.

A moneyraiser, which will feature a guest artist and Fusion Dance productions, is set to take place on 5 May at Laerskool Stephanus Roos.

“The police are asking residents to join them to try and make a difference to Colonel Badenhorst’s life,” Von Benecke said.

Enquiries: Mirna von Benecke on 012-543-8814.

Police members raise money for sick colleague

Lieutenant-Colonel Lourens Badenhorst is receiving chemotherapy after he was diagnosed with polycythemis vera, a type of bone marrow cancer, two years ago. Baden-horst, who has served in the police force for 21 years, needs a bone marrow transplant.

Ekonomiese groei sal aan bande gelê word en werksverskaffing sal gekortwiek word indien die Tshwane-metro se konsep-begroting van 25% belastingverhoging vir dienste ’n realiteit word.

Dit is die mening van Brandon Topham, die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) se kou-kusleier van die Tshwane-metro.

Topham het ’n beroep op inwoners ge-doen om teen die beoogde 25% verhoging in belastingheffing te betoog.

Die skerp styging soos voorgestel in die 2012/13 konsepbegroting is tans oop vir openbare bespreking.

“Indien die metro uitgeblink het in korporatiewe uitnemendheid en indien fakturering reg geskied het en inwoners ge-lyke toegang tot basiese dienste geniet het, kon ’n saak ter regverdiging van ’n 25% verhoging uitgemaak word.

“Dis egter nie die geval nie en ek vind dit moeilik om die ANC-burgemeester se argument van ‘betaal meer sodat ons dienste kan lewer’ te verstaan. Inwoners wat moeg is vir die metro se uitmergeling, of wat nie behoorlike dienste ontvang nie, het nou die geleentheid om hulle stemme te laat hoor.

“Sonder diesulkes se ondersteuning is die DA se opposisie betekenisloos,” het Topham gesê.

Inwoners kan hul geskrewe besware teen die voorgestelde verhoging e-pos na [email protected].

’n Kopie van sulke geskrewe besware moet ook per e-pos gestuur word aan [email protected] sodat die besware verder gevoer kan word.

Verdere navraag kan gedoen word by Adriana Randall, DA-woorvoerder van finansies by die Tshwane-metroraad, by 083-263-8667.

Hoër Tegnologiese Skool (HTS) John Vorster spog met ’n splinternuwe rekke-gimnasium - ’n eerste van sy soort in die Moot-omgewing.

Dié gimnasium, wat van elastiese rekke in plaas van gewigte gebruik maak, se amptelike opening het onlangs by HTS John Vorster plaasgevind.

Leerlinge aan HTS John Vorster het tydens die openingseremonie verskeie

demonstrasies met die rekke-apparaat aan inwoners, naburige skole en die media demonstreer.

Volgens HTS John Vorster se woord-voerder, L’lize van Rensburg, is die rekke toepasbaar op alle vlakke van verskeie sportsoorte en bevorder dit aspekte soos reaksietye, uithouvermoë, fisiese krag en konsentrasievlakke.

“Die rekkeprogram bevorder ons sport-manne se fisiese en motoriese fiksheid en aspekte soos balans, ritme, reaksietye en

konsentrasievermoë word ook bevor-der.”

Volgens Van Rensburg is die rekke-gimnasium ook in HTS John Vorster se LOR-sillabus ingebring en gaan leerlinge tydens LOR-klasse van die gimnasium gebruik maak.

“Die rekke-gimnasium word in ’n positiewe gees aangebied en elke leerling geniet dit terdeë. Hierdie is ’n fasiliteit wat ons aan ons gemeenskap asook aan voornemende leerlinge vir 2013 bied.”

Jacaranda FM raised R570 000 to help end rhino poaching.

Jacaranda FM’s listeners and friends opened their hearts and wallets during a recent auction of The Parlotone’s guitarist Neil Pauw’s painting, pledging R570 000 towards the training of tracker dogs that would assist in the stations’ anti-rhino poaching efforts.

The auction was a culmination of an extended campaign, which started in March when Pauw’s painting was put on auction as part of a story line in the television pro-gramme The Wild.

On this Mnet’s high gloss show, the painting was sold to Itumeleng, played by Shona Ferguson, who paid R60 000.

Recently, fiction became reality as the picture, the Parlotones, actors from TheWild, and Jacaranda FM’s Martin Bester Drive, encouraged listeners to bid for the painting live on air, with the proceeds go-ing to train tracker dogs to assist in ending rhino poaching in South Africa.

Jacaranda FM’s studio in Montecasino hosted the live radio broadcast, which gen-erated calls and pledges from corporates and individuals.

Children were donating pocket money of R20, while corporate businesses were creating drama that saw Grippa Sales final-ly donating R200 000 to the cause in the final minutes and walking away with Pauw’s masterpiece.

Jacaranda FM’s marketing manager, Jenny Griesel, said the station has led the struggle against rhino poaching since 2010 through various interventions such as anti-poaching units and field ranger training, supply of equipment, vehicles, on-going education and creating awareness.

The tracker dogs project is the next step to take these efforts further, by providing support for those at the front line.

Kahn Morbee, lead singer and spokes-person for the Parlotones, said rhinos belong to all South Africans and the people of South Africa showed they care and as a united force they can achieve amazing things.

“I hope that in 20 years we still have a thriving population of an iconic symbol of our society and in some way this event was a major catalyst. The struggle is far from over but we showed that we’re prepared to fight back,” he added.

Boy recovers after hand surgerySuzette van Huyssteen

A entire new life now lies ahead for a three-year-old boy thanks to the generosity of medical staff at a hospital in Pretoria east.

Mielo-Trent Skinner took the first step to be able to use his hands normally last week when he was booked into theatre for reconstruc-tive hand surgery. He received his first operation last week Thursday at Kloof hospital, after plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr Tienie van Rooyen was willing to help.

After Rekord heard of Skin-ner’s plight, they contacted various doctors for free assistance and Van Rooyen reacted by offering his services and further assistance

in terms of the anaesthetist and hospital.

Skinner was born three months premature with webbed fingers on both his hands and with a clubfoot. His parents wanted to give their child a quality life but did not have the financial means to do so. Three years down the line Van Rooyen came as an angel sent from God to answer their prayers.

According to Van Rooyen, the repair process for Skinner’s hands was a two-year period repair process, planned with a six-month break in between, in which time the bandages would be changed under anaesthetics for skin graft-ing purposes.Van Rooyen planned to operate on both hands last week

Thursday, but while in theatre re-alised that the child would struggle without the use of both his hands.

He will now reconstruct one hand at a time. In total, as planned, Skinner would have to un- dergo four operations and after-wards he would need an occupa-tional therapist or physiotherapist.

Last week the first step was taken and Skinner’s right hand was operated on.

According to his father, Bernard Theron, the operation was a suc-cess, albeit very emotional. “The experience was emotional, partly due to seeing your child so helpless and partly because of the doctor and everybody’s generosity and willing-ness to help our child,” Theron said.

According to Theron, his son was approximately in theatre for five and a half hours.

“So far he recovered really well and is smiling, running around and playing at home,” Theron said.

Theron added that they were extremely grateful for the kindness of the hospital staff.

Susan van Biljon, from Van Rooyen’s consulting room, gave Skinner a teddybear whose hands were also wrapped in bandages, as a present from the hospital and staff members of Van Rooyen.

Skinner certainly made a lot of new friends and made his way into the hearts of many Pretoria residents.

Mielo-Trent Skinner plays in the garden with the new toys he received as a present from Rekord, after his first reconstructive hand surgery.

Die twee elegante vroue sit in die herfssonnetjie. Hul hare blink en die gesprek is lig en vrolik.

Hulle is nie net beste vriendin-ne nie, hulle is ook ma en dogter.

Belinda en Lisa Brönner werk saam as ’n span in die musiek-bedryf, hulle deel ’n respek vir mekaar se talente en uit die staanspoor is dit duidelik dat hulle mekaar vertrou.

“In die musiekbedryf is dit moeilik. Daar is baie slaggate en onsekerhede. My ma is my agent want ek weet ek kan haar vertrou, sy het eerlikwaar net my beste belange op die hart,” het Lisa aan Rekord gesê.

Belinda knik. “Dit is waar, ons werk goed saam want ek weet tot wat Lisa in staat is en ek probeer om net die beste vir haar loopbaan

te verseker. “In besigheid maak ons ’n

goeie span. Ons troos en motiveer mekaar,” het sy gesê.

Vir Lisa is haar ma se beste eienskap, Belinda se goedhartig-heid.

“My ma wil altyd almal help. Haar hart is so groot en daar is altyd plek vir nog mense. Sy sal haar laaste slukkie water weggee as iemand dors het, sy sorg altyd. Dit maak my sommer jaloers,” het die jong sangeres gesê.

Belinda dink weer haar dogter se vermoë om altyd positief te wees is haar beste karaktereienskap.

“As ek vies raak vir mense kan Lisa die goeie dinge raaksien, dit is ’n goeie eienskap om te hê,” het Belinda gesê.

Moedersdag is vir dié twee nie net op 13 Mei nie, hulle vier gereeld hul verhouding met ’n spesiale ete.

“Ons bederf mekaar maklik, ’n lekker ontbyt of middagete en partykeer sommer ’n groot stuk koek ook en ons deel ons kos ook. So deel ons mekaar se lewens

- elke dag,” het Lisa bygevoeg.

Soos wat die herfsblare begin verkleur en ’n koel bries deur die strate van Pretoria stoot, besef inwoners dat die koue winter-maande al nader kruip.

Vir behoeftige inwoners is dit egter nie altyd moontlik om nuwe wintersuitrustings vir die komende winterseisoen aan te skaf nie.

Daarom het twee bejaarde sus-ters van die noorde van Pretoria besluit om truie vir behoeftige kleuters in die Wolmer-omgewingte brei.

Dawn Faure (74) en Welda

Bos (72) het die afgelope paar maande hul pensioengeld gebruik om kleurvolle wol vir dié truitjies te koop.

Na ’n paar maande van brei het Faure, in samewerking met die Wolmer-inwonersvereniging,33 kleurvolle truitjies aan die Tele-tubbies-kleuterskool in Wolmer geskenk.

Die opgewonde kleuters het trots met hul helder nuwe truitjies gespog en die vreugde was duide-lik op elke gesiggie te sien.

“Ons is so dankbaar vir mense wat hul harte oopmaak. Daar is regtig soveel behoefte in ons gemeenskap en daar is nie altyd

geld om te koop nie. Daarom is dit wonderlik dat die gemeenskap saamstaan en mekaar uithelp,” het Willemien Freemantle van die Wolmer-inwonersvereniging gesê.

Volgens Faure brei sy al van kinderdae af en is dié nie die eerste geleentheid wat sy al gehad het om haar breiwerk in die gemeenskap te saai nie. “Ons kon gelukkig ook al vir ander organ-isasies sokkies en teddiebere brei. Ek glo nie daaraan om stil te sit nie, ek moet maar die hande besig hou. Dit was ook beslis nie die laaste van my nie, ek hoop ek kan nog baie bydraes tot die gemeen-skap lewer,” het Faure gesê.

Belinda en Lisa Brönner is ’n ma-en-dogterspan wat vir niks terugstaan nie en glo dat hulle goeie verhouding uit ware vriendskap spruit.

EditorialCOMMENT

It was reported last week that water would become very expensive from next year. Government is planning a massive budget outlay of R573-billion over the next ten years to try to improve our ailing water supply.

Last week Diepsloot experienced mas-sive water supply problems with conta-minated water.

This has placed the focus again on the problems South Africa faces in this regard.

Geographically speaking South Africa has always faced and will always have problems with water supply.

The absence of a fresh water non-sea-sonal river and high altitude exacerbates the problems to supply water to its indus-trial and agricultural heartland.

One commentator pointed out that nei-ther Johannesburg or Pretoria should really

exist.They can do so only because huge

amounts of water are being piped to them from Lesotho and 1 820 meters uphill from KwaZulu-Natal.

South Africa faced an electricity supply problem because the govern-ment ignored the warnings it was given more than ten years ago. The same situation is now facing us with water supply.

A combination of polluted water sources and poor management of dams, sewerage works and treatment plants has led to a situation where our water supply is under serious threat.

The areas our water originates from, is being damaged by a general-ised official disregard for the envi-ronmental consequences of industrial activity.

A further problem is related to the poor management of informal settle-ments.

With inadequate sewerage systems in place and little provision for the removal of waste, large quantities of waste are washed into rivers, where they make their way to overburdened water purification plants.

Many South African municipalities do not have budgets big enough to properly manage the quality of drink-ing water they supply.

In a recent national survey of wastewater treatment plants it was found almost a third required ‘im-mediate intervention to avoid a crisis’.

The problems are exacerbated by poor management of dams, which reduce the supply of water we have available and also affects its quality.

According to a report, only 54% (160 of the 294) dams owned and managed by the Department of Water Affairs comply with modern safety standards.

Water is also affected by the ‘have’s’ and ‘have nots’.

South Africa’s tap water is among the best in the world, but with millions still lacking access to flush toilets and piped water, the threat of waterborne diseases cannot be ignored.

Most people believe that true success and happiness are found in receiving or getting. In other words, a mentality that says: I’m going to get what I can, can what I get and sit on the can; and when I’ve got enough in the can, I’ll be content!

Matthew 10:42 (TLB): And if, as my representatives, you give even a cup of cold water to a little child, you will surely be rewarded. This verse says that even the smallest act of kindness, done to the right person and with the right motive, will be rewarded. True Godly love is love that gives. What is given is not important, but the motive and attitude are what matters. Giving to a child speaks of unselfish serv-ice, because a child will not normally be able to give something back to you. Think of yourself for a moment – do you live to give or live to receive?

Proverbs 11:24-25 (TLB) says: It is pos-sible to give away and become richer! It is

also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything.

Yes, the liberal man shall be rich. By watering others, he waters himself.

The whole worldly system says: “Save to have”, while God says: “Give to get”.

Give freely of your time, your energy and your resources and you will be amazed at the joy you experience. When faith gives, then faith can also receive. Why not start today? The world and God are wait-ing.

Give with love

Klippe langs die pad

Du P Martins

Kleintyd het ons Cowboys and Crooks gespeel en natuurlik wou niemand die crook wees nie want soos ons almal weet, die crooks moet mos doodgeskiet word.

Later het ek gedink daar moet baie crooks in die Bybel se tyd gewees het, want so ’n dik boek oor die goed en kwaad dui mos daarop.

So in die gesoek na die Bybelse crooks vind ek toe uit dat van die mees gehate crooks in die Bybel die tollenaars was.

Net so vind ek toe ook uit dat hulle al toentertyd seker met verkeerskonstabels moes geheul het, want in Psalm 140:6 lees ek: Trotsaards het vir my ’n vangnet gespan en toue; hulle het ’n net uitgespan aan die kant van die pad; strikke het hulle vir my gestel. Sela.

Seker maar waar wat die Bybel sê daar is niks nuut onder die son nie.

Te oordeel aan die string organisasies soos AfriForum, Cosatu, Kamer van Koop-handel, Transvaalse Landbou-unie, Agrifo-rum, Bondgenootskap teen Stedelike Tol, die DA en die Vryheidsfront Plus wat almal toustaan om Sanral teen die hoogste mas op te hang, dra vandag se tollenaars nog dieselfde etiket as hul Bybelse kol-legas.

Die kwessie van tol betaal is al erg ge-noeg.

Wat dit vererger, is die geknoeiery van Sanral om ondanks herhaalde beroepe vir eerlike openhartigheid, hulle steeds met voortvarende arrogansie uit die bloute nuwe tariewe afkondig.

Dit nogal by wyse van ’n Staatskoerant op Vrydag die 13e, asof die skuiling agter die gedrukte afkondiging regverdiging vir ‘gedane sake’ verleen.

Die datum op sigself is insiggewend, want dit is die datum van bygelowe.

Nou ja, as hulle die waarheid op dié

datum wil yk, dan kan ’n mens met reg vra wanneer kan ’n mens hulle glo.

As argitekte van die reëls en regulasies en hoe daar van die publiek geoes gaan word, het Sanral voor die bekendmaking van die inligting in die staatskoerant al hierdie feite seer sekerlik reeds haarfyn geken.

Waarom het Sanral nie voordat hulle in ’n blik gedruk is om voor die hof te verskyn nie die feite bekendgemaak nie?

Waarom het Sanral nie toe hulle in ’n vier-uur-lange samespreking met die Verbruikerskommissie was en die geleent-heid gehad het om dinge reg te stel, nie toe daarvan melding gemaak nie?

Met die verkoop van R20 miljard se effekte wat Sanral vir stelsels ingekry het en die verdere R5 miljard wat Pravin Gordhan, minister van finansies, Sanral gegee het om hulle te help om hul skuld af te betaal, was Sanral in ’n goeie posisie om hul berekeninge te maak van wat hul tariewe moet wees om ’n goeie finansiële oes van Jan Alleman te kry.

Met dit gesê, kom nog ’n Bybelse waar-heid my op wat in Mat 13:12 staan: Want hy wat het, aan hom sal gegee word, en hy sal oorvloed hê; maar hy wat nie het nie, van hom sal weggeneem word, ook wat hy het.

Crooks in Bybel ook

Mev. Coetzee skryf:Ek wil net vertel van ’n insident wat ek

en my dogter 19 April by Centurion Mall beleef het. Ons was op pad na Maxis om ontbyt te eet en moes by ’n troeteldierwin-kel verby stap.

Binne, was twee jong mans besig om klein, en ek bedoel klein, hondjies in die draadvertoonkaste te sit, sommer so drie, vier hondjies gelyk in die hande. Die boonste vertoonkas staan ten minste 1,5m

bokant die teëlvloer, toe die een jong man ’n hondjie laat val.

Na die deure geopen het, het my dogter met hulle gaan praat, onnodig om te sê, volgens die man, was die hondjie onge-deerd. ’n Mens kon sommer sien die dier-tjie het baie seergekry. Ek het gedurende die oggend met verskeie winkeleienaars oor die voorval gesels en selfs die DBV gebel. Wat staan ’n mens te doen?

Brief verkort – Redakteur.

OPINION


Twee Hoërskool Montana rasieleierspanne het onlangs aan die Gauteng-kampioen-skap vir rasieleiers deelgeneem. Dié toernooi het by Hoërskool Eldoraigne plaasge-vind. Beide spanne van Hoërskool Montana, waarvan een ’n meisiespan en die ander ’n gemengde span, het tweede plekke by die kampioenskap behaal.

Hoërskool Overkruin pupil Niki Bouwer re-cently participated in the Last Man Stands Cricket (LMS) World championship as a player for the Kings VIII team. LMS is the biggest amateur cricket league in the world with over 1 000 teams and nearly 20 000 players. The Pretoria-based Kings VIII team was crowned as the champions at the pre-stigious World Championship, which was held in Cape Town.

Nicole Eagar, ’n graad 11-leerling aan Hoërskool Overkruin, is vanjaar tot die Uni-versiteit van Pretoria se jeugkoor verkies. Die koor het onlangs na België vertrek, waar hul aan verskeie kompetisies gaan deelneem. Die universiteit se jeugkoor is ’n multi-kulturele koor wat uit uit 71 lede, wat 23 skole in Pretoria verteenwoordig, bestaan.

Hoërskool Montana het onlangs saam met agt ander hoërskole aan die PUK-wintersport-reeks deelgeneem. Die agt skole is in twee groepe van vier elk opgedeel. Hoërskole Montana, Merensky, Lichtenburg en Standerton het in die een groep teen mekaar kragte gemeet. Na verskeie wedstryde het dié vier skole teen die volgende groep skole, waaronder hoërskole Ben Vorster, Standerton, Oos-Moot en Frikkie Meyer, gespeel. Daarna is die plekke in die PUK-reeks aangewys waar Hoërskool Montana se eerste rugbyspan in die algehele derde plek geëindig het. Hoërskool Montana se eerstespan rugby in aksie teen Hoërskool Merensky tydens die PUK-reeks wat onlangs plaasgevind het.

We work hard throughout our life as adults to provide the best standard of living we can for our families and it’s vital that we make sure that we protect our hard-earned money along the way.

Managing your finances can be a jugg-ling act that is often confusing and over-whelming. Knowing you have life’s ex-penses under control is an excellent way to avoid future stress or unnecessary worry.

With so much advice on how to increase or invest your income and so many ways to spend it, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes.

However, don’t worry, we’re here to of-fer you tips on planning, saving, investing and managing your finances and will put you on the path to financial success.

Step 1: Acknowledge the importance of your own goals.

Ask yourself what do you dream of one day?

Owning a business, further education, a new car, perhaps a trip around the world.

Write down your top priorities and stick them up inside your wardrobe door or on your fridge. A constant reminder will make the dream seem more real and keep you motivated.

Step 2: Manage household expenses so your ability to save is not compromised.

If money is tight in a specific month, look at ways to trim household expenses.

- Compare prices on websites before you buy.

- Buy according to plan, make a list and buy only what is on it.

- Take advantage of sales and special offers.

- Make the most of your petrol, keep your car serviced and your tyres correctly pumped.

- Go through your home and look for ways to save energy and costs.

Step 3: Pay yourself first.It’s important to establish the habit of

saving by starting a monthly investment.

Treat your savings like a bill, preferably paid by debit order. Put the money into an investment fund towards your big goal.

Step 4: Decide where to invest.Investing in unit trusts is a popular

choice. They give you access to a diversi-fied portfolio without the stress of manag-ing it yourself and if you need to, you can access your money within one day. Most importantly, they have the potential to offer excellent returns over the medium to long-term investment.

There are literally thousands of local and international unit trusts available to South Africans, so how do you decide what’s right for you? The trick is to keep it simple.

Old Mutual Unit Trusts’ Classic 5 In- vestment Collection makes unit trusts even more convenient with a range of five handpicked funds, chosen out of a range of 40 unit trusts, which we believe are the perfect investment vehicles for most types of investors.

With the Classic 5 Investment Collec-tion, you can choose a fund to meet your specific needs, depending on whether you want a lower risk fund or a higher risk fund, which looks for maximum growth.

Then you can use this fund or funds if you choose more than one, as the basis of your portfolio. You can switch between them as your needs change, or you can add other funds from our full fund offering. Bottom line, you call the shots.

For more information about which investments to choose, phone us on 0860 WEALTH (932584) or contact an Old Mutual financial adviser or broker.

You can also use our ‘InvestRight Tool’ online at www.investmentcollection.co.za to help establish how much you will need to save and invest to meet your financial goals, be they short, medium or long-term.

With self-motivation, commitment and discipline, you can achieve your finan-cial goals and take control of where your money goes.

Hoërskool Montana het besluit om vanjaar die prettige Zambesi-musiek-fees, met supersterre soos Bok van Blerk en Elvis Blue, vir ’n tweede keer aan te bied.

Hoërskool Montana het verlede jaar hul 30e bestaansjaar in styl gevier met dié uiters suksesvolle musiekfees wat almal gaande gehad het.

Die eerste Zambesi-musiekfees, wat met top kunstenaars soos Arno Jordaan en Snotkop gespog het, was ’n weghol-sukses en het ’n skare van 6 500 mense getrek.

Die fees gaan 19 Mei op HoërskoolMontana se A-rugbyveld gehou word en gaan top vermaak deur bekende kunste-naars soos Bok Van Blerk, Elvis Blue, Snotkop en Arno Jordaan bied.

Feesgangers kan na ’n karnavalat- mosfeer, kompleet met watertand kos-stalletjies, unieke uitstallings en ’n mal-lemeule, uitsien.

’n Idols-talentkompetisie, waarvan die inskrywingsvorms by www.hsmon tana.co.za beskikbaar is, gaan ook deel van die feesverrigtinge uitmaak.

Inwoners kan gerus hul eie stoele of komberse en piekniekmandjies saam-bring. Geen drank of glasbottels gaan toegelaat word nie. ’n Biertuin sal ook tydens die fees beskikbaar wees.

Die hekke by Hoërskool Montana se Zambesi-musiekfees gaan van 09:00 tot 23:00 oop wees. Kaartjies is beskikbaar by Computicket.

Navrae: Hoërskool Montana by 012-548-0160.

Groot kunstenaars tree weer by Zambezi-musiekfees op

Musiekliefhebbers gaan weggevoer word na die 70’s en 80’s wanneer George Baker, Pussycat en BZN op 12 Mei in die ouditorium van die Moreleta-gemeente tydens hul Goue Stemme-konsert, optree.

George Baker, Pussycat en BZN word getel onder die musiekikone van die 70’s en 80’s. Dié drie kunstenaars spog met verskeie goue- en platinumtoekennings wat hulle oor die jare ontvang het.

“Daar het reeds tien jaar ver-stryk sedert ons laaste BZN-konsert in Suid-Afrika,” sê die musiekduo Jan Keizer en Annie Schilder. “Ons kan nie wag om weer daar op te tree nie.” George Baker is net so opgewonde.

“Na tien jaar is ek angstig om weer my Suid-Afrikaanse aanhangers te sien.”

Volgens Toni Willé van Pussycat gaan daar beslis genoeg nostalgie by die kon-sert wees. “Vir die eerste keer in 15 jaar gaan ek weer al Pussycat se treffers sing. Dit is boonop die 35e herdenking van die groot treffer, Mississippi.”

Kaartjies is reeds beskikbaar by Com-puticket.

MOTORING14 REKORD NOORD VRYDAG 4 MEI 2012 www.rekord.co.za

Bernard K Hellberg

With sales in the doldrums for Subaru (91 units sold in March), the arrival of the new Subaru XV is exciting news for the company.

In fact, the company will increasingly come to rely on its off-road models (Forester and XV) to boost sales.

The Subaru XV has chunky, modern styling, fabulous road holding, superior driver and passenger safety thanks to seven airbags, which include a knee airbag and fully independ-ent suspension all round.

Standard features include iPod connectivity, a sunroof and dramatic two-tone 17-inch alloy wheels.

Subaru prides itself on rug- ged, reliable engineering, in-cluding such great features as a chair-driven camshaft drive and rattle-free construction. Costly belt-drive is therefore eliminated.

Despite the 110kW produced by the flat-four petrol engine,

the Subaru XV felt under pow-ered, while the gap between sixth and fifth gear is virtually non-existent.

When the car runs out of steam in sixth gear, you may just as well go straight to four.

At R339 000 the automatic lineartronic CVT gearbox is a better option. This is R10 000 more than the manual shifter.

More good news is the Subaru XV has a comprehen-sive three-year/75 000km full maintenance plan, a three-year/ 100 000km warranty and 15 000km service intervals.

I predict that the Subaru XV will do to the Forester what Nissan’s Qashqai has done to the X-Trail, overtaking it in sales within the next three months or so.

Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) started 2012 with solid momentum.

It continues ramping up production of the all-new Ranger pick-up truck and offer-ing new vehicles like the Kuga.

FMCSA sold 3 730 retail vehicles in January.

The Ford Figo had sales of 1 337 vehi-

New Subaru on the horizon

The new Subaru XV is the car that has to save Subaru from the shrinking sales this

company is experiencing at the moment in South Africa.

Ford capitalises on its growth

The Ford Kuga is a new offering by Ford in South Africa and it is expected to be a very popular competitor in the SUV market.

cles and it was the fourth best-selling vehi-cle in South Africa, reinforcing its strong fuel economy, high quality and fun to drive attributes.

On 27 January, Ford Motor Company reported 2011 full year pre-tax operat-ing profit of $8,8-billion, an increase of $463-million from a year ago, as strong performance in North America and Ford

Credit offset challenges in other parts of the world.

This marks the company’s third year in a row of improving annual operating profits.

“We delivered strong results for the full year as we continued to serve our custom-ers around the world with best-in-class vehicles and make progress toward our mid-decade goals,” said Alan Mulally, Ford president and CEO.

“Despite the continued uncertainty in the external environment, the strength of our North American and Ford Credit operations allows us to continue to invest for future growth and develop outstanding products with segment leading quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value,” he said.

Ford Motor Company’s global growth is mirrored by FMCSA successes.

The company has expanded and invested in its Silverton assembly plant, one of the key assembly operations in the company’s Asia Pacific and Africa region.

FMCSA remains an important contribu-tor to Ford globally.

“FMCSA’s sustained commitment to South Africa has continued to bring excit-ing new products to the market, while cre-ating future growth opportunities through investment and employment,” said FMCSA’s Vice President Marketing, Sales and Service, Dean Stoneley.

“Not least of those new products is the Ranger, which will provide a solid sales base for Ford Light Commercial Vehicle sales this year.”

January’s industry sales showed resil-ience, growing 1,9% over the same month last year to 45 944 new vehicles.


Die eerste generasie van die Toyota Avanza was ’n baanbrekernutswa sonder fieterjasies en wat presies gegee het wat hy belowe het. Hy het soveel mense as moontlik van een punt na ’n ander gerieflik vervoer. Die splinternuwe Avanza, wat van-jaar te koop sal wees, het die dwarslat egter aansienlik opgeskuif en grootgeword.

Groot wat styl betref, groot wat ruimte betref en groot wat gemak betref.

Moenie ’n fout maak nie, die nuweling behou nog al die eienskappe van die vorige model, naamlik: sewe-sitplekveelsydigheid, kompakte buite-afmetings en skitterende waarde vir geld. Die hele pakket word danksy die volgende verfyn: Dinamika en ruimte is twee kernwoorde in die Avanza se ontwerp. Iets wat egter nog meer merk-waardig is, is dat dít gedoen is sonder om sy buite-afmetings dramaties te vergroot. Die nuwe Avanza is net 20mm langer en 25mm breër.

Van die kant gesien is die oorheersende ontwerpelemente die slanke, verlengde vensters wat soos een soliede stuk glas lyk.

Kleurgepaste deurhandvatsels is deel van die standaardtoerusting. Die S- en SX-modelle het 14-duim-staalwiele en netjiese wieldoppe, terwyl die TX-weergawe 15-duim-allooisierwiele het. Al die SX- en TX-modelle het standaard modderskerms.

Voorkantontwerpeienskappe sluit ’n nuwe spitsneus in wat die Toyota-kenteken huisves, die nuwe familiegesig van Toyota, wat sy buiging in die Yaris wat onlangs opgekikker is, gemaak het. Die sierrooster is regdeur die reeks in dieselfde kleur as die romp geverf, behalwe in die geval van die vlagskip-TX-model waar die sierrooster verchroom is. Dié topmodel in die reeks het ook misligte voor as deel van sy standaard-toerusting.

Die agterdeur ‘bult’ effens van die nom-merplaat af uit, wat weer ’n gevoel van krag gee. Nog twee afwerkings wat deel van die TX se standaardtoerusting is, is sy

agterste drukvlerk met ’n hoë gemonteerde derde remlig en ’n chroomstrook.

Die Avanaza se binneruim word deur dinamiek en ruimheid gekenmerk. Die ka-juitgevoel is baie meer dié van ’n passa-siersmotor as wat dit in sy voorganger die geval was. Die middelkonsole wat die lug-uitlate, radiokontroles en ventilasiestelsels binne maklike bereik plaas, lewer ook ’n bydrae tot hierdie motoragtige gevoel.

Een van die grootste pluspunte van die nuwe Avanza is die wyse waarop die ruimte vir die insittendes en bagasie vergroot is sonder om die buite-afmetings soveel groter te maak. Al drie rye sitplekke bied oorgenoeg ruimte wat knieruimte insluit en selfs al word al drie rye sitplekke gebruik, is daar nog genoeg ruimte agter om ’n billike hoeveelheid bagasie te huisves. Dié ruimte is verkry deur die vorm en posisie van die sitplekrugleunings en deurpanele millimeter vir millimeter te verander.

Wat toerusting betref, behels die intree-vlak se S-gradering sluitwerende remme (ABS), afstandbeheerde sentrale sluiting, alarm, immobiliseerder, elektriese krag-stuur (kantelverstelbare stuurkolom), elek-tries beheerde vensters, dubbele lugsakke voor en ’n magdom bergplekke regdeur, alles as deel van die standaardtoerusting.

Die petrolenjins van 1,3l en 1,5l en hul transmissies is in wese dieselfde as in die oorspronklike reeks, hoewel die voertuig se romp se gewig met sowat 20kg verminder en die sy lugdinamika verbeter is.

Daarbenewens word lae rolweerstand-bande en elektriese kragstuur (EPS) ge-bruik, terwyl elektroniese beheer van die lugversorging en enjin verbeter is. Dit en ’n magdom ander verstellings het tot ’n aansienlike verbetering in versnelling en brandstofekonomie gelei.

Die gemiddelde verbruiksyfer in die ge-kombineerde siklus is as volg: 7,7l/100km vir die 1.3; 7,6l/100km vir die 1.5-outo en 7,2l/100km vir die 1.5-handrat.

Waarde vir geld met verbeterde nutswa

Die nuwe groter Toyota Avanza, ’n voertuig wat elke uitstappie ’n plesier sal maak vir die hele gesin.

Die nuwe Avanza se verrigting stel nie teleur nie: die 1.5-handrat versnel in 11,9-sek van 0 tot 100km/h, vinniger as die 12,1-sek van die vorige model (die syfer is effens stadiger in die geval van die outoma-tiese model).

Toyota het gedurende die ontwikkeling van die nuwe Avanza spesifiek op rit en hantering gefokus.

Die onderstel is verfyn om hoëspoed bestendigheid in ’n reguit lyn te verseker terwyl die veringverstellings hersien is om die skok van hobbels te verminder en die swaaibeweging gedurende baanwis-selbewegings te onderdruk. Daarbenewens is geraas en vibrasies teen hoë rysnelhede verbeter.

Windgeraas is verder verminder deur die boonste deel van die romp se klankdigting-

en absorberende materiale te hersien.ABS (sluitwerende remstelsel) met EBD

(elektroniese remkragverdeling) word in al die nuwe Avanzas aangetref.

Die remversterker is met ’n vlotter soort vervang (dit is ’n stelsel waar die vakuum-klep toemaak wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie). Dit verminder aanvanklike verfloude werking (sponserige remslag) en lei tot ’n beter remgevoel.

Wat passiewe veiligheid betref, pronk al die nuwe Avanza-modelle met dubbele lugsakke voor.

Al die Avanza-modelle het ’n Toyota-Care-diensplan van vier jaar of 60 000km wat by die koopprys ingesluit is.

Versieningstussenposes is elke 15 000km, asook Toyota se omvattende fabriekswaarborg van driejaar/100 000km.


While there were many positive indicators that trading conditions in the South African property market were continu-ing to improve, distressed pro-perties are still a market reality.

This was according to Peter Gilmour, chairman of Remax Southern Africa, who also headed up the group’s special-ised distressed property depart-ment.

Gilmour noted that in January and February this year, Remax of Southern Africa received over 300 new sole mandate distressed property leads from various financial institutions for which the group was one of the preferred partners for handling distressed property sales.

To date, Remax agents had already successfully sold 100 of these properties.

“Last year Remax reported that distressed properties spent an average of 48 days on the market and fell predominantly

into the R250 000 to R2-mil-lion price range,” said Gil-mour.

He also said that the major-ity of the distressed properties listed last year by Remax, were situated in Gauteng, which accounted for 70% of the total number of distressed properties compared to the Western Cape’s 10% and KwaZulu-Natal’s 20%.

Gilmour reported that to date in 2012, distressed properties had come onto the market at an average selling price of R900 000.

He also said that close on 80% of these properties had been in Gauteng.

Gilmour concluded that while distressed properties would continue to make up a reasonable portion of available market stock in the year ahead, the sales process still required specialised knowledge to ensure a successful solution for both the seller and the financial insti-tution involved.

This classy face-brick house is situated in Zwartkop in a small complex with easy access to freeways and within walking distance from the Gautrain bus stop. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one spacious living area plus a neat kitchen with a pantry. There is a lapa for entertainment and a double garage offers direct access to the property. There is also space for a caravan or trailer. The property is selling at R1,1-million. Enquiries: Estie Watson at Pam Golding Properties on 072-634-4411.

Distressedproperties still a market reality

Homes that are architecturally distinc-tive or which have a rich history, are always in demand in Johannesburg’s sought after northern suburbs.

According to Jonathan Davies, Pam Golding Properties joint area manager, who is based at the company’s Hyde Park office, said many buyers particularly at the higher end of the market were specifically looking for homes with which they could identify and that suited their own individual lifestyles.

“While we sell properties across all price ranges, in this area we deal with many buyers in the price range from R10-mil-lion upwards, who wish to express their individuality and their own personal taste through their homes,” said Davies.

Davies also said Pam Golding Properties had a prestigious portfolio of iconic proper-ties that were currently on the market.

“One such exceptional home is situated in Westcliff and is more than 100 years old, it was built in 1902,” said Davies.

Davies said when visiting this grand old home, you might find yourself transported back to a gracious time of croquet, masked balls and horse drawn carriages.

“This ambience becomes evident upon entering the home through the triple volume entrance hall with its magnificent wooden staircase. The house, marketed by Pam Golding Properties for R16-million, is set among rolling lawns and old Cape ash, jacaranda, peach and fig trees,” said Davies. The house has six bedrooms, all of which have fireplaces and four bathrooms two of which are en suite. There are five reception rooms, including a ballroom and three large garages.

Die Blou Bulle se oudspelersvereniging se jaarlikse gholfdag, wat onlangs by Wingate-buiteklub aangebied is, was ’n groot sukses. Belangstelling was so groot dat meer spelers as normaalweg geakkommodeer moes word. Die eerste spelers het al voor 08:00 die oggend afgeslaan en verskeie huidige sterre van die Blou Bulle het ook deelgeneem. Hier is ’n groep oud-Blou Bulle by die aand se onthaal saam met Uhland Muller (heel regs) van die hoofborg, Logistics Transport Globally (LTG ) en twee van sy personeellede (regs agter). ’n Groot bedrag is met die gholfdag ingesamel, wat gebruik sal word om oudspelers van die Blou Bulle in nood te help.

The Easterns Titans franchise, named Malibongwe Maketa as the new assistant coach as from 1 May.

“Maketa brings a wonderful work ethic to the Nashua Titans team. He is a terrific mentor of young men and an excellent young coach who pushes his players to be the best they can be,” said Elise Lombard, CEO of the Easterns Titans franchise.

“I am delighted that Maketa agreed to be the Nashua Titans assistant coach. After an exhaustive search he was the standout candidate and I am looking forward to working with him in future.

Maketa brings a wealth of experience to the post and I am sure we will learn a lot from each other in the coming months and seasons. He has a great way with the play-

ers and he will help them develop to reach their maximum potential,” said Matthew Maynard, coach of the Nashua Titans.

Previously Maketa was part of the win-ning Nashua Titans team.

He came to the Nashua Titans as an assistant along with former coach Richard Pybus, in the 2006/07 seasons, where they enjoyed a successful partnership, winning five trophies in the two-year period.

Prior to that, he was a professional coach at the Western Province Preparatory School for a year.

Maketa was appointed the Northerns Provincial amateur coach in May 2008.

Under his guidance, the Northerns ama-teur team won the CSA one-day challenge and T20 trophies.

Hy het reeds byna 5 000 provinsiale en meer as 500 nasionale kampioene afgerig, maar ná 60 jaar se betrokkenheid by sy geliefde sport is Hennie Pretorius se blus nog lank nie uit nie.

Daar loop nie ’n meer suksesvolle en geliefde judo sensei in Suid-Afrika rond nie, maar Pretorius bly nederig oor al sy prestasies.

Baie oningeligte mense glo dat alle deelnemers aan Oosterse gevegskunste se geloofslewe deur hul sport beïnvloed word, maar Pretorius maak dit vinnig af as bog. Hy getuig maklik oor sy eie Christenskap.

As ’n mens luister na die invloed wat hy veral op honderde kinders se lewens gehad het in sy lang loopbaan, is sy getuienis inderdaad nie net praatjies nie.

Pretorius glo dat judo een van die beste sportsoorte is om deelnemers en kinders in besonder, se lewens drasties te verander.

Veral kinders wat sukkel met selfver-troue of wat uit ’n ongebalanseerde agter-grond kom, lê hom na aan die hart.

Hy vertel dat daar niks lekkerder is as om so ’n kind te sien groei as sportman én as mens nie.

Dié 74-jarige judofanatikus se eie ver-haal is egter net so merkwaardig. Hy het tien jaar gelede reeds vir sy sesde dan ge- gradeer en hy word regoor die wêreld ge-reken as een van die sport se mees invloed-ryke kenners.

Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand, and is a martial art with origins in the ancient (Boran) battlefield tactics of the Siamese army. Muay Thai, or Muay Boran, fights feature punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling, and head-butts to wear down and knock out an opponent.

Muay Thai Boran training methods de-velop devastating power, speed, and superb cardiovascular endurance, as well as fight-ing spirit. Muay Thai Boran South Africa selects a team to attend the World Cham-pionships in Thailand each year through a series of eight tournaments that culminate in a selection final at the Ambassador’s Cup, supported by the Royal Thai Embassy.

This year’s team collectively brought home a gold medal, three silver medals, and a bronze medal.

Drikus Schutte (18) stood proud and tall as they raised the South African flag during

There is an exciting new incentive for runners taking part in the Spar Women’s 10km Challenge races this year.

The winner of the annual Spar Grand Prix will receive the keys to a brand new, just released car.

For the past five years, the top run-ners have competed for Grand Prix points, with the overall winner pocket-ing a hefty cash prize. This year she will receive a Nissan Micra Visia 1.2.

Sy pad het dié sport reeds in 1952 ge-kruis toe hy nog ’n tiener was.

As jong sportman verteenwoordig hy die ou Oos-Transvaal en in 1960 begin hy ook as skeidsregter optree.

In dié hoedanigheid het hy ook al inter-nasionale erkenning gekry.

Sedert 1969 tree hy al by internasionalebyeenkomste op en hy is steeds geakkre-diteerd as skeidsregter by die Internasionale Judo Federasie (IJF).

Dit is egter as afrigter wat Pretorius soveel sukses behaal het dat die judo-ge-meenskap van Suid-Afrika inderdaad al vir hom ’n standbeeld kan bou.

Hy het byna 40 jaar gelede uit sy werk as ambagsman bedank, ’n judosaal langs sy huis in Kilnerpark in Pretoria aangebou en voltyds begin afrig.

Sedertdien het hy nog verskeie ander klubs help stig en die lys van beroemde judokas wat deur hom afgerig is, is een-voudig te lank om op te noem.

Meer as 15 000 judokas het sy pad as leerlinge gekruis sedert hy in 1964 begin afrig het.

Sy leerlinge het al wêreldwyd presteer en 79 judokas het hul nasionale kleure on-der sy afrigting ontvang.

Hy het ook al ’n wêreldkampioen en verskeie medaljewenners op wêreldkam-pioenskappe opgelewer.

Pretorius het egter geen planne om nou al aan aftree te begin dink nie. Hy wil met sy werk aanhou tot hy letterlik nie meer

kan nie. Hy is nog fiks en gesond en oefen daagliks nie net in sy gimnasium nie, maar ook deur fiets te ry en te swem.

Pretorius is nog so sterk en gesond dat twee inbrekers onlangs hul moses teëge-kom het toe hy hulle in sy huis verras het.

Hy het ook al ’n gewapende roof oorleef deur teen die boosdoeners terug te veg.

Pretorius glo dat judo die ideale sport

is om ander sportmanne soos rugbyspelers te help met soepelheid, koördinasie en selfvertroue.

Ook gestremde kinders baat beslis by dié sport.

Hy nooi veral ouers om hul kinders aan dié sport bloot te stel.

Pretoria yields Muay Thai world champion

The referee raises the hand of the winner, Drikus Schutte from SA, at the Muay Thai World Championships in Thailand.

the presentation of his gold medal at this year’s World Championships in Bangkok.

The road to becoming the new World Champion is his personal story of heart, determination and focus, and a ‘never-give-up’ attitude.

Drikus started learning the martial art of Muay Thai at the age of 14 at Tiger Dragon Fight Gym in Newlands, Pretoria. He was quick to learn, but his age and size made it difficult to find suitably matched oppo-nents.

Due to his determination to progress, he tested his skills against bigger and stronger boys and men, and shrugged off his early defeats with his mind fixed on bigger goals.

At 16, Drikus was selected for his first World Championships as a member of the Muay Thai Boran South Africa (MSA) team. He found himself measured against the strongest Muay Thai nations in the world. His first international loss fuelled a greater ambition to get back to the gym, train harder and challenge himself to de-velop further as a martial artist and athlete.

His second attendance of the World Championships last year earned him a bronze medal.

This year, at his third World Champion-ships, he dominated in the finals against a technically strong Japanese opponent, to achieve the success of gold and the title of World Champion. Muay Thai South Africa, under the leadership of the chief instruc-tor Kru Yai Mario Da Silva, is the South African representative of the World Muay Thai Federation, the Muay Thai Conserva-tion Centre of Thailand and the Association Institute of Thai Martial Arts.

Spar winner receives a car

The runner-up will receive R30 000 and the third-placed athlete R15 000.

There are cash prizes for the top ten runners in the open category and for the top three in the four age categories.

Runners earn Grand Prix points according to their positions in the five challenge races, which are held in Cape Town, Nelson Mandela Bay, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg.

The top 20 runners in each race earn Grand Prix points, with the winner receiving 20 and the 20th placed runner one point. An age category runner earns points by finishing in the top five in her age group, with the overall age group winners taking home R3 000.

Runners can also earn bonus points by finishing the race in a faster time than the winning time in the particular race in the previous year.

All runners who beat the 2011 overall winning time in the relevant age cat-egory of the corresponding race in 2012 will score five time incentive points.

“We are so excited about the way interest in the Grand Prix has grown every year,” said Spar Group marketing executive, Mike Prentice. “We believe the runners will be enthusiastic about the chance to win a new car to help them get around when they are not running.”

Die jaarlikse interprovinsiale o.21-vrouehokkietoernooi is ver-lede week in die Tshwane Univer-siteit van Tegnologie (TUT) se stadion gehou.

Twaalf spanne van regoor die hele land het in Pretoria saamgetrek vir dié belangrike toernooi, waar

die land se beste jong hokkietalent in aksie was. Plaaslike ondersteu-ners het die voorreg gehad om twee plaaslike spanne te ondersteun, want die Northerns B-span het saam met die Northerns Blues deel-geneem. Hierdie feit onderstreep die krag van plaaslike vrouehokkie.

Op dag vyf was die Northerns Blues nog een van die sterk aan-

spraakmakers om in die eindrondtevan die toernooi te speel.

Na afloop van hierdie toer-nooi sal ’n nasionale oefengroep aangewys word. Uit hierdie groep sal die nasionale o.21-span gekies word vir Oktobermaand se belang-rike Afrika-kwalifiseringstoernooi vir die junior wêreldbekertoernooi wat volgende jaar plaasvind.

’n Jong rekenmeester van Groenkloof in Pretoria het ervare diepsee hengelaars by ’n onlangse hengelkompetisie in Richardsbaai op hul neuse laat kyk.

Hy het die grootste Blou Marlyn ooit in dié baai se hawegebied met sy eerste probeerslag as roofvishengelaar uitgetrek het.

Wynand van Wyk is eintlik ’n varswa-terhengelaar, maar op besoek aan Richards-

baai het hy saam met vriende op ’n boot uitgevaar om aan die bekende Bonanza-diepseespesie-hengelkompetisie deel te neem.

Van Wyk het sowat twee ure met die bie-lie-Marlyn aan sy lyn geworstel wat sowat 40km van die strand af sy aas gevat het.

Die reuse vis het uiteindelik 290kg in-geweeg.

Volgens Van Wyk tel sy vangs onder die top 20 swaarste Marlyne wat ooit langs die Suid-Afrikaanse kus uitgetrek is.

Tukkies se o.9 krieketspan het skoonskip gemaak in die 2011/2012 o.9 Platinum Krieketliga.

Die span het al 13 van sy ligawed-stryde gewen. In die proses het hulle meer as 1 700 lopies aangeteken in 13 wedstryde. As daar in ag geneem word dat hierdie jong spelers maar nog net nege jaar oud is, maak dit hulle prestasie eers merkwaardig.

Die beste kolwer in Tukkies se span was Kian Heuer. Hy het die seisoen af-gesluit met ’n totaal van 272 lopies teen ’n merkwaardige gemiddeld van 90,7.

Een van sy vele vyftigtalle het hy van net 18 balle gemoker.

Die beste bouler was Jandre Verster wat 13 paaltjies platgetrek het met ’n gemiddeld van 6,4.

Die veelsydigste speler in hierdie ta-lentvolle span was Hanno du Preez wat 208 lopies in die seisoen gemoker het, terwyl hy ook 10 paaltjies ingeoes het.

In totaal het die spannetjie sewe vyf-tigtalle aangeteken. Hierdie statistiek wys hoekom dié span so uitgeblink het.

Die bestuurder van die span, Jacques Verster, het gesê die suksesresep agter sy span se prestasie was dat hy glo aan ’n rotasiestelsel.

Dit beteken dat hy ’n groot groep spelers die kans gee om hul staal te wys, terwyl hul almal geleentheid kry om te ontwikkel.

Verster het gesê sy spannetjie het 12 veelsydige spelers wat almal kan kolf, boul en natuurlik baie goed veld-werk kan doen.
