Volgens Stad Kaapstad se departement paaie en

SOMERSETWEST resident Marilyn Durr believes that if she had arrived at the Mr Price

store in Somerset West 10 minutes earlier, she would have walked straight into a robbery.

Five men barged into the store on Thursday afternoon, locked the staff and customers

in a back room and took off with an undisclosed amount of cash. The store was recently

revamped, and the day of the robbery coincided with their reopening. page 2

NGAKWELIPHINYATI (38) appeared in the SomersetWestMagistrates Court onMonday

in connection with the murder of a Vetus Schola security officer. The officer, Jhuvonne

Julies (33), was stabbed to death in the early hours

of Saturday 21 July, while he was on duty. He had

been responding to a complaint in Lourensford

Road when his assailant confronted him and

stabbed him several times in the neck and chest.

The murderer made off with Julies firearm.

During patrols on Thursday 30 August, police of-

ficers arrested aman,who appeared to be under the

influence, for disorderly conduct. A gun and bullets

were also found inhis possession. Itwas later found

that the firearm could be linked to Julies murder.

Nyatis casewas postponed to tomorrow (Friday)

for a bail application. page 5

Klant loop haar amper vas in rowers

ILLANA FRANTZ

As ek tien minute vroer daar aangekom

het, het ek sekerlik die rowers daar in die

winkel betrap.

S s Marilyn Durr nadat sy Donderdag

op die personeel en klante van Mr Price in

Somerset-Wes afgekomhet, waar hulle agter

in die winkel opgesluit was.

Die winkel is onlangs opgegradeer en die

dag van die rooftog was die heropening van

die winkel.

Marilyn,wat 20 jaar by die Strand-tak van

diewinkelgroep gewerkhet, het di dag daar

ingeloer om die personeellede te groet.

Sy het omstreeks 17:50 by die winkel inge-

stap en dit vreemd gevind dat die deur nog

op n skrefie oop was.

Die sekerheidsbeampte staan gewoonlik

by die deur, maar daar was niemand in sig

nie, nie eers by die tille nie. Ek het ingegaan,

na diemense geroep en sagte stemme vanuit

n agterkamer gehoor, onthou sy.

Die bestuurder het geantwoord dat hulle

beroof was en toe toegesluit is. Een van die

werknemers het dit reg-

gekry omoordie afskor-

ting te klim en die deur

oop te maak. Hulle het

daarnadiepolisie gebel.

Die personeellede,

wat deur die bestuur

verbied is om met die

media tepraat,hetDins-

dag en Woensdag nog

berading n die voorval

ontvang. n Erg getrau-

matiseerde assistentbe-

stuurder het die

DistriksPos se navrae

na die areabestuurder Riaan Hendrikse ver-

wys, maar hy wou nie in die stadium oor die

aangeleentheid kommentaar lewer nie.

VolgensMarilynwasdaar sowat 20mense

wat n die rooftog toegesluit was.

As my suster my nie gevra het om melk

tekrynie,soueknievoorafbydie 7/11gestop

het nie en dan sou ek sekerlik nog die rowers

daar gekry het. Wie weet hoe dinge dan sou

uitgedraai het, vertel Marilyn.

Vyf mans het verlede week die Mr Price in Somerset-Wes,

tydens hul heropening beroof.

Luidens n polisieverklaring het vyfmans

met n onbekende bedrag geld in n onbeken-

de rigting gevlug. Hulle ondersoek n saak

van winkelroof.

Petrol price explodes

NIKITA SYLVESTER

AS the clock struck midnight on Tuesday,

fuel prices increasedby 93cper litre to reach

an all-time high of R11,62.

Motorists making use of petrol may now

pay close to R50 more for a tank due to the

staggering hike. Diesel tariffs will increase

by 69c per litre,while paraffinuserswill pay

73c more per litre.

The announcement was made last week

by the Department of Energy. It was re-

cordedthatonlytwofuelpricedecreaseshad

taken place this year, with yesterdays hike

being the biggest one yet.

Michael Bagraim, president of the Cape

Chamber of Commerce, says the radical

increasehascomeat theworstpossible time.

Small businesses are already on their

knees. Theywill have to swallow

this increase, which may cause

some businesses to go into liqui-

dation,he says, adding that sup-

pliers will also be pushing up

their prices, forcing consumers

to borrow yet more.

Many have already bor-

rowedtothelimit.Peoplearenot

going to survive.

Mark Williams, investment advisor for

Synovation Financial Services, says the

hike will wear away the consumers pocket

both directly and indirectly, as it feeds into

higher prices across the board. The latest

fuel price hike is also likely to dampen any

prospects of another cut in interest rates. In-

debted SouthAfricans remain vulnerable to

the interest rate cycle, says Williams, add-

ing that there is also a risk of further rand

weakness, which would result in even high-

er fuel prices assuming oil prices stay at

current levels.

AlfredCarelse, chairpersonof theHelder-

berg Taxi Forum, says commuters will be

subjected to a tariff increase later this year

due the petrol price. Carelse says a forum

meeting will be held on 19 September to dis-

cuss the amount and date of the increase.

Motorists were eager to save as much as possible

before the petrol price sky rocketed by 93c per litre.

Two dead in chain of accidents

ILLANA FRANTZ

TWO people lost their lives in a series of

freak accidents on the N2 near Macassar on

Sunday.

In the first accident a pedestrian, Lizbeth

Bock (60), was knocked over by a silver Tata

Indica. The incident happened at 17:45 near

the Shell garage, in the direction of Cape

Town. Police and medical personnel were

called, but Bock was declared dead at the

scene. The driver of the Tata was arrested

and charged with culpable homicide and

driving under the influence. He appeared in

court on Tuesday, and his case was post-

poned to 11September forabail application.

As a result of the accident, a bottleneck

was created and police had to control the

flow of traffic. While the officers were cor-

doning off the road, a white taxi pulled over

to get a closer look at the accident scene. Po-

lice officers noticed that the driver was

drunk, and arrested him immediately. He

was placed in one of the police vans parked

on the side of the road.

But the days carnage was not yet done:

an Isuzu bakkie, disregarding the traffic

rules and refusing to stop, collided with the

police van in which the taxi driver was sit-

ting, says Captain FC van Wyk, provincial

police spokesperson. Yanga Nkomwu (30)

from Kayamandi died on impact.

Martin Dwetya (40) was arrested in con-

nection with the accident and charged with

culpable homicide and driving under the in-

fluenceofalcohol.HeappearedintheSomer-

set West Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

His casewas postponed for seven days for

a bail application.

made their way there to assist Hugh Roe of Helderberg Crime Watch (HCW), who

Help fight cancer

A STRAND mother has seized the oppor-

tunity to host a special fundraiser in honour

of her son, who lost his battle to cancer.

Laura Boonzaaier explains that in 2003

her year-old son, Hendrio, died of brain

cancer. After years of pain and suffering,

Laura decided to plan a family-orientated

event called the Kidz with Cancer Festival.

The event will take place at the Charles

MorkelStadiumonSaturday15September.

The day will include fun family activities,

food stalls, a potijiekos competition, auc-

tions,andliveperformancesbyartistssuch

asAkkedis, 3D, Anton le Roux, PublicHoli-

day andmore. The funds raised at the festi-

val will be donated to the childrens on-

cology ward at Tygerberg Hospital.

With this festival I hope to raise aware-

ness and funds to decorate and make the

ward child-friendly and liveable as if they

were in their own homes, says Laura.

In addition to a goal of decorating the

ward for the kids, I have a goal to raise

enough money to renovate the washing

room, outpatient ward and playroom.

She says she has beenwanting to do this

for eight years, and finally has the will-

power to make it happen. Cancer touches

so many people in our community; I know

far too many people whose lives have been

touched by cancer.

Ifyoucant joinus,pleaseconsidermak-

ingadonation tosupportourefforts.Either

way you will make a real difference in the

lives of these children, and in the lives of

the people who love them.

HB pharmacist cures queues

DELIAH BRINKHUIS

HIS decisions may not have been too popu-

larwith his staff at first, but pharmacist Al-

bert Hazekamps determi-

nation to transform a

flawedsystemmadeadiffer-

ence andwon him the title

of the Western Cape phar-

macist of the year.

The 71-year-old Somerset

West resident was awarded

thecovetedtitlebytheWest-

ern Cape Department of

Health for his contribution

towards improving service

at two state facilities the

Elsies River Community

Health Centre and Eerste-

riverHospital,wherehehas

worked for the last few

years.

Hazekamp, a familiar face in retail phar-

macy in the Helderberg, was nominated by

his colleagues. It is good to see the differ-

ence that one makes, he says.

He recalls the long queues he was faced

with when he started at the Elsies River

centre in 2006. Most days the queues were

long, and the standardwaiting time formedi-

cation was four hours.

Within three months

hed made a difference at

that pharmacy. He did this

by, among others, starting

his work day at 06:00 (two

hours earlier) to make up

scripts, removing dispen-

sary shutters so clients

could see the staff, and en-

suring that a pharmacist

wasondutyat all timesand

the pharmacy never closed

during operating hours.

He says this would have

been impossible without

the support of his staff.

Soonthenewsystemwasrunningsmooth-

lyandmoresensibly, enablingquickerdis-

pensing times and no more long queues by

midday. With up to 400 scripts filled daily,

some days were easier than others.

When I was tired and had to take a 15-

minute break I would, instead of making an

announcement over the microphone, go to

the patients and tell them that I would be on

a break so they did not wonder why no one

was helping them, he says.

He describes his pharmacy as a loud place

where people laugh a lot. Happy staff result

in happy patients.

Some days hewould even go into thewait-

ing area to sing and dance to make the pa-

tients wait more bearable.

Even so, he says his award came as a sur-

prise to him.

Imknownforbeingcheekyand fornever

being at a loss for words, but when the an-

nouncement was made, for the first timemy

colleagues saw me dumbstruck.

Hazekamp is both elated and humbled by

theaward.Iamverychuffed.Yes, Idid those

things, but this is also embarrassing as it is

my job, and what I love to do.

Asked about retirement, he remarks, I

would probably get bored at home, and hope

that retirement does not come soon. While

I can stand on my feet I will work.

Albert Hazekamp is the

Western Capes pharmacist

of the year.

Soetrivier far

from sweet

THE Soetrivier, which flows

through the Rusthof area of the

Strand, is so badly polluted it is

making residents in the area ill.

More than 100 pupils, as well as

several teachers from surround-

ing schools, have been laid off

school with stomach complaints.

Residents living closest to the

river have been theworst affected,

and have repeatedly complained

that the smell coming from the

river is nauseating and making

them sick.

DistrictMail has over the years

written numerous articles about

the situation in this area, and has

highlighted the complaints of the

residents and the difficult condi-

tions under which they have to

live.

To date all their complaints

have fallen on deaf ears, and the

residents say that the authorities

have done nothing to address the

situation.

The small river is also com-

pletely overgrown, and littering

along the banks of the river is get-

ting worse.

Isnt is about time something

were done to alleviate this prob-

lem, which has persisted in this

area for so long?

Somerset West police stick to their guns

THERE has been so much nega-

tive reporting regarding the local

SAPSthat I thoughtsomepositive

feedback would be appreciated.

In accordance with the new

FirearmsControlAct Iapplied for

the renewal of three firearm li-

cences at the Designated Fire-

arms Office (DFO) in Somerset

West on 31 October 2006. Safe in-

spection was done in May 2007

and everything was declared in

order. Two years later I made en-

quiries and was informed that

Central Firearms Registry (CFR)

had a backlog and I must be pa-

tient.After twomoreyears Imade

further enquiries and was shown

thatmyapplicationswere under

consideration.

To cut a long story short, CFR

misplacedmycompetencycertifi-

cate, thenmyentire file, and I had

to reapply on 6 June 2012.

A week later the provincial

DFO informedme thatmy certifi-

cate was receiving attention. A

month later I signed the neces-

sarydocumentsandamonthafter

this I received all three licences.

The process took almost six

years. At no time could the delay

be attributed to the local DFO.

The personnel were always

cheerful, helpful and supportive.

Iwas treatedwith respect, consid-

eration and cooperation. In these

timesofviolentprotestsoverpoor

servicedelivery, itwasapleasure

dealing with people prepared to

go the extra mile. Thank you to

Inspector Stoffberg, Chantelle,

Natasha and Leonie.

MARYKE ABRAHAMS

STRAND

Philip van der Berg, commer-

cial director of MSP responds:

This is the first complaint that

we have received in such regard.

We made contact with the main

contractor, with the instruction to

retain focus on public safety but to

minimise any disruption of traffic

flow in First Street.

The contractor has assured us

thatmost of theheavy construction

in this area is now complete, and

that full closure of this section

should no longer be required (al-

though they will still have to clean

the street surface from time to

time). No mid- or long-term road

closure was done in First Street.

Temporary closure of the section of

First Street adjoining the area of

the development site was done ex-

clusively in the interest of public

safety. This in as far as having to

accommodate the relocation of an

electrical substation by the City of

Cape Town, as well as the use of

certain heavy construction equip-

ment to complete certain civil

works at the rear of the develop-

ment site.

Periodic closures coincidedwith

heavy rains experienced at the end

of August. Given the extreme

weather conditions, the main

building contractor had to close

the main section of road at certain

intervals to clean mud and other

debris fromtheroadsoas to ensure

that the driving surface remained

safe for public use.

The only section of First Street

that has been affected by the inter-

mittent road closure is the very

short section between Rusthof and

Wentzel Street. This section ad-

joins a vacant tract of municipal

land, and there were accordingly

noblockagesofdrivewaysordirect

residential access.

This state-of-the-art modern

shopping centre is being developed

for the benefit and convenience of

the surrounding residential areas.

We wish to provide residents with

the highest level of service at all

times. We accordingly appreciate

the publics comments.

We believe that this retail faci-

lity will add value and much-

needed employment opportunities

for the surrounding community,

andtrust that this convenient facil-

ity will be well supported.

ONE always hears about the neg-

atives of Africa, with people far

more willing to complain rather

than express their appreciation.

Having recently returned to

South Africa from England, we

weredisturbedbyall thenegative

feedback on the local police serv-

ice and quite frankly were con-

cerned that if ever we were the

target of crime we could not ex-

pect much support.

I am happy to report that the

exact opposite was the case when

wewere recently burgled on the

contrary, the service and support

we received were better than any

received in England.

My wife returned home from

picking up the children at school

to a broken garage door and dogs

barking on Monday 13 August.

Scared that the culprits were still

in our house, she phoned the

Strandpolice,who instructedher

to stay outside while they des-

patched officers. She had also

phoned the estate agent who as-

sisted us when we bought the

house, as we dont have many lo-

cal contacts yet and I was away

on business.

Within twominutes of the call,

shewas amazed to see not one but

three police vehicles approach

our house at speed, followed in

minutes by our estate agent. In

the end, we were very fortunate

and had only bicycles stolen from

our garage. However, the experi-

encewasmademuch easier to ac-

cept by not only the brilliant re-

sponse time, but also the efficient

and professional manner in

which the officers dealt with the

case.Withintwohourswehadthe

case number completed, two in-

spectors visiting the house to en-

sure follow-up, and the finger

print team to check for evidence.

In addition, our agent Johan

Botma (Hightide Properties)

made a few phone calls and, be-

fore dark, had the garage door re-

paired by one of his contacts. All

in all a bad experience made so

much better by caring and kind

people who have each gone out of

their way to help us.

All I can say is thank you to

Johan and the members of the

Strand Police and assure them

that I will be their biggest advo-

cate in future.

McFall Properties turns 7

JAMEY THOMAS

ONSaturday1SeptembertherenownedRose

McFall Properties in Somerset West cele-

brated seven years of business success a

triumph attributed to years of hard work,

dedication, passion and loyalty to clients.

The estate agency was started by former

Seeff estate agent Rose McFall in 2005.

McFall says she took the plunge to start

her very own agency after some motivation

fromMoniqueDamseaux, owner ofMonique

Damseaux Properties.

She put me in her car and drove me to

the current premises where my agency is

based. Right then, I decided to take the bull

by the horns.

McFall, who previously worked in the

citys building industry for 18 years, is now

regarded as a top estate agent who has

claimed success in a very short period of

time.Unlikemanyothers,whostartbuilding

their empire from a tender age, she started

pursuing a career as an estate agent at the

age of 50.

After the idea of entering the industry

came to mind in December 2001, McFall

started her new career as an estate agent for

Seeff Properties inJanuary 2002. Sheworked

there for five years, and discovered her pas-

sion for the industry during this time.

I love what I do, and therefore it never

feels likework. Just so that everyone knows,

I dont plan on retiring for years to come,

she smiles.

Rose McFall Properties has soared from

humble beginnings to an estate agency con-

sistingofninestaffmembers.Theagencyhas,

despite challenging economic times, sold

some of the most expensive properties in the

Helderberg, including the historical 14,6 ha

Tweede Rivier for R25 million. The agency

has also averaged about R20 million per

month in sales over the last three months.

McFall regards partner in sales Noleen

Adkins, a former Seeff colleague who now

works as a Rose McFall estate agent, as her

support structure.

We make a mean team: she takes charge

when Im away, and she is the reason I can

go on holiday every year, she laughs.

Overall, McFall reckons the key to her

business success is the ability to focus on cli-

ents needs. I listen to clients. I aim to give

them what they want not what I want to

sell whether it is my stock or not.

Besides her drive for the industry, McFall

also has a passion for Somerset West and its

people. The good Samaritan has on a number

of occasions provided food and shelter to the

homeless, and has also offered to have the

fences in Main Road repainted, at her cost,

to uphold the impressive reputation of the

historical town.

Its party time for firsttime buyers

FOR those keen to buy their first home, there

couldnt be a better time to take the plunge.

So says Rudi Botha, CEO of BetterBond,

which as SAs biggestmortgage originator as-

sists thousands of buyers a month to obtain

homeloans.Henotesthat theresidentialprop-

erty market has reached a stage that occurs

only very rarely, in which several major fac-

tors are aligned in favour of first-time buyers.

And, he says, this is clearly evident in

BetterBonds latest statistics, which repre-

sent 25%ofall residentialmortgagebondsbe-

ing registered in theDeedsOfficeand include

applications to, and bond grants from, all the

major lending banks in SA.

For a start despite the fact that the aver-

age home price among first-time buyers has

climbedsteadily in thepast fourmonths from

R582 000 to R621 000, and is currently also 5%

higher thanat this time last year homeown-

ership has actually become more affordable,

thankstotheeasingofcreditrestrictionsand,

of course, an interest rate cut.

At the moment, about four out of every 10

home loans approved are 100% loans, and

most of these are going to first-time buyers,

including those in the affordable sector.

In addition, the average percentage de-

posit required by first-time buyerswho dont

manage to secure a 100% loan has declined

from 11,5% of the purchase price to 9%. So

effectively, the average deposit amount for

such buyers has fallen to around R56 000,

compared to R71 000 earlier this year even

though home prices are higher.

Andthis relief isnowcombinedwith lower

home loan interest rates since the Reserve

Bank cut the repo rate by 0,5 percentage

points in July, further increasing afford-

ability levels for first-time buyers.

For example, at the current standard

homeloaninterestrateof8,5%, theminimum

monthly repayment on abondofR621 000 (as-

suming a 100% loan) is R5 389, compared to

R5 587 at an interest rate of 9%.

And lower rates do of course make it

easier for prospective buyers to qualify for

loans in the first place.

Asit is,Bothasays, thesedevelopmentsare

already gaining the attention of prospective

buyers eager to enter the property market.

First-timebuyersaccounted for 42%ofall

bond applications in July, compared to 37%

fourmonths ago, and the percentage of loans

being granted to first-time buyers has at the

same time risen from 35% to 39%.

Survey reveals sellers market emerging

THE latest RE/MAX survey shows that most

homes sold by RE/MAX agents around the

country between 1 January and 30 April saw

aminimaldifferencebetweenaskingandsell-

ing price of 7% to 11%.

The survey also showed that homes priced

between R500 000 and R1 million spent an av-

erage of 84 days on themarket before selling.

Properties in the R1 million to R2 million

range spent anaverageof 105daysbefore sell-

ing, while those with price tags of R2 million

or more spent an average of 136 days.

Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of South-

ern Africa, attributes these findings to less

stock,moredemandandcorrectpricing, indi-

cating the emergence of a change from a

buyersmarket to a sellersmarket. As stock

decreases and demand increases, so buyers

will bemoreprepared topaycloser to theask-

ing price of a property, as long as the asking

prices remain reasonable and market-

related. As stock levels decrease, homes on

the market sell faster.

Goslettsaysthesurveyresultsclearlyindi-

cate that setting the right price will remain

essential. Even the most expensive proper-

ties, priced from R2 million upwards, took

less than 20 weeks to sell, and they only had

a difference between asking and actual sell-

ing price of 11,69%, on average.

The survey results show that properties

priced between R500 000 and R1 million had

an average difference between asking and

sellingpriceofaround7%,while thosepriced

between R1 million and R2 million saw a

9,62% difference on average.

Less than 10% of sellers had an outstand-

ing home loan balance that was higher than

thevalue thepropertywassold for, according

to 84% of respondents. While market condi-

tions may well be changing, distressed prop-

ertieswill still be a reality for the foreseeable

future. Goslett reports that RE/MAX agents

who have beenmarketing distressed proper-

ties have managed to achieve, on average,

91% of asking price, with the properties sell-

ing in an average of 45 days.

Only 20%of sellers between 1 January and

30Aprilwere sellingbecause of affordability.

Almost 30% were selling because they were

moving, with 20% downsizing and a further

25% upgrading.

Goslett says that one of themost detrimen-

tal mistakes that many sellers make is over-

pricing. Often sellers set a higher price for

theirproperty thanwhat theywant toget out,

with the hope that if a buyer were to offer

a lower price, theywould still be able to nego-

tiate close to the price they wanted.

But the property will sit on the market for

longer,hewarns,andprobablysellatalower

price than the seller would have wanted.

Papier appointed as administrator of EAAB

HUMAN Settlements minister Tokyo Sex-

wale has announced the appointment of Tas-

well Papier as administrator to the Estate

Agency Affairs Board (EAAB).

The board has been rocked by scandal in

recenttimesincludingtheWendyMachanik

saga; the acrimonious parting of ways with

former CEO Nomonde Mapetla; the Auction

Alliance debacle; suspension of the company

secretary; reinstatement of those suspended

within fewdays; and the resignationof chair-

person Ina Wilken.

It soon became clear that the EAAB was

dysfunctional, Sexwale said. A meeting

was convened with stakeholders a couple of

weeks ago where I announced my intention

to dissolve the board and appoint in its place

an administrator.

He announced that Papier had been ap-

pointed as administrator with immediate ef-

fect, callingPapierinnovative,andgoal-and

performance-driven.

Hehas a proven track record on corporate

governance issues. He has a vast knowledge

and experience in financial planning, ac-

counting,administrationandmattersof law.

Papier is the former president of the Law

Society in the Cape of Good Hope, and be-

tween 2002 and 2004 held several high-profile

positions, including acting judge of the Cape

TownHighCourt,memberoftheboardofcon-

trol of the Attorneys Fidelity Fund, and re-

ceiver in a Richtersveld land-claim dispute.

Papier will hold his new position for six

months, Sexwale said. He is expected to im-

plement turn-around strategies and meas-

ures to improve good corporate governance

within the board; implement financial sys-

tems for accountability and management;

provide strategic leadership and capability

to the organisation to restore its reputation;

ensuresustainabilityandorganisationaleffi-

ciency; and carry out a strategic business

plan while monitoring its performance.

The administrator assumes a dual role of

providing leadership and strategic manage-

ment to the EAAB and accounting authority.

The administrator will be accountable to

myself as minister, Sexwale said. The ad-

ministrator will prepare and submit per-

formancereportsonprogressachieved in im-

plementing strategies and measures to re-

store stability and corporate governance.

He wished Papier well in his new position.

Wewant to see all basic rules of good govern-

ance followed. The management and staff of

theEAABareexpectedtogiveyoufullcoopera-

tion.Imlookingforcompleteindependenceon

your part.

You are assured of my full support.
