CBDMainRoad re­openstwoweeksearlyCILENE BEKKER

Afteraprotractedstrugglebythebusinesscommunity to have the resurfacing ofMain Road postponed until after the busytourism season between October and De-cember, the project was not only resched-uled for January, but was completed twoweeksaheadofschedule.Andon14Febru-ary, no less. Which prompted the mayorduring the ribbon ceremony on Friday, tojoke that youknowawoman is getting oldwhen she gets excited about opening aroad on Valentine’s Day.

The project to rehabilitate the road startedon 15 January and was scheduled for comple-tion by end February. By all accounts, goodweather and planning played a vital part inthis project finishing two weeks early.Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie thanked

the affected businesses for their patience, andall the stakeholders for excellent planningand co-ordination.Bertus van Wyk, project engineer from

V&VConsultingEngineers, in turn congratu-lated Zebra/Isidima Civils JV on a resur-facing job well done.Kees van de Coolwijk from Fotofirst,

spokesperson for the businesses along MainRoad, says thecontractorswereverycoopera-tive. “For example, when complaintswere re-ceivedabout thedust anddirt, theydid it afterhours to accommodate the shops.”All in all 409 m of road was resurfaced, and

afewchangesweremade.Therearenowthreepedestrian crossings on this stretch of road– the existing one in front of KFC, one in frontof Mr Price and one just before the circle atthe Marine hotel.Dirkie Uys Street, opposite the entrance to

Mr Price, is now a two-way street, and a drop

’n go offload zone for touristbuses was created as oneturns into Main Road fromDirkie Uys Street.The project amounted to

R3,249 million. It is a Pro-claimed municipal Roadand the Provincial Admin-istration approved a subsi-dy amounting to R2,6 m(80% of total cost) in Maylast year, to be applied to theroadworks before the finan-cial year-end, with thebalance coming from the municipal coffers.This is not the end of roadworks though,

warned the mayor.The outdated storm-water system will re-

quire more work onMain Road in the future,to the tune of R1,9 million. There is currentlyno budget for this project.

PetrusHendriksz,whoheads theCBDRevi-talisation Forum, says the successful comple-tion of the Main Road project is an excellentexample of what can be achieved when thereis good cooperation and open communicationbetween the municipality and the privatesector.

Mayor Nicolette Botha­Guthrie joyously declares the MainRoad open, two weeks ahead of schedule. Simultaneously, themayor gave early warning that the ageing storm­water systemwill require further roadworks in the future.

A couple was robbed of more thanR67 000 worth of goods after two mengained access to their home in Onrus.

The man and his wife went to bed ataround 23:00, but woke up at 03:30 whenthey heard a noise in the house.

The two suspects realised the couplehad woken up and they demanded mon-eyandjewellery.Theysearchedthebed-room and besides money, the suspectstook rings, chains, a bracelet, twoiPhones and an iPad.

The couple were not injured orharmed and the suspects fled the scene.

A case of house robbery is being in-vestigated. No one has been arrested.

Suspects of robbery arrestedJANINE VAN DER RIET

Sixsuspectswerearrestedforabusinessrob-bery which took place in the early hours ofthe morning on 16 February.

Thebusiness in theCBDwasrobbedof jew-ellery and electronic equipment to the valueof R25 000.

Warrant officer Steven Koen and Consta-ble Kanyisa Mvumbi of the Overberg SAPSK9 unit arrested the first suspect on the fol-lowing day. He was found in possession ofjewellery.

Accordingto lieutenantFadilaSeptember,spokesperson for the Hermanus Police, four

more suspects, between the ages of 26 and29, were also arrested by Koen and Mvumbi.

Members of Safe Security arrested the lastsuspect, with a DVD player in his possession,also on the same day.

The suspects will appear in court and theHermanus Police is investigating the case.

September says house and business rob-beries are a concern in all areas in andaround Hermanus.

“It seems that the suspects arrested in rob-bery or theft cases, were mainly stealing jew-ellery, handbags, cell phones and cameras.In almost all the cases, the owners left win-dows open.”

Weduweeeis vanbooteienaarsJANINE VAN DER RIET

Die weduwee van eenvan die drie toeristewatin April 2008 in Klein-baai dood is ná die haai-kykboot waarop hullesou gaan haaiduik, om-geslaan het, het ’n sivie-le eis teen die skipper endie onderneming by dieWes-Kaapse Hoogge-regshof ingedien.

Die saak het verledeweek in dié hof begin, omonder meer die perke vanvrywaringsvorms,watdietoeriste geteken het voorhulle aan boord geklimhet, te toets.

Die tragiese gebeurte-nis het op Sondag 13 April2008 gebeur.

Die boot Shark Team, wat aan White SharkProjects behoort, met tien toeriste aan boorden nege bemanningslede aan boord, is in diesee meegesleur na ’n groot brander die bootomgedop het.

Foto’svandieongelukhetgewysdatdiepas-sasiers aan boord van die Shark Team nie al-

mal die voorgeskrewe reddingsbaadjiesaangehad het nie.

Van die 19 mense aan boord is 17 dadelikuit die water gered deur ’n ander haaikyk-boot, die White Shark, wat tydens die onge-luk in die gebied was.

Vyf van die mense wat gered is, is vir be-handeling van verskeie beserings na dok-ters op Gansbaai geneem. Twee vroulike pa-siënte is na MediClinic Hermanus geneem,een vir ’n voetbreuk en ’n ander vir ’n arm-breuk.

Die bemanning sowel as die res van diepassasiers is behandel vir skok. Mediese be-amptes het lank gespook om vir KennithRogue (37) van Noorweë by te bring, maarwas onsuksesvol en hy is op die toneel doodverklaar.

Nadat die eienaars van die boot bevestighet dat daar 19 mense aan boord was, het diesoektog na Chris Tallman (34) en sy vriend,Casey LaJeunesse (35), van Amerika begin.

Kort daarna is hulle uit die water gehaalen na die hawe geneem waar hulle dood ver-klaar is.

VolgensDie Burger voer Tallman se wedu-wee, Sarah, in ’n 31-punt-eis aan dat sy enhaar man, met wie sy in die jaar voor sy doodin Mexiko getroud is, binne gemeenskap vangoedere getroud was en dat sy geregtig is op50% van sy boedel, wat by sy aftrede $4,4 mil-joen (R48 miljoen) sou wees.

Terwyl Sarah die skipper en eienaars vandie boot vir $4,4 miljoen dagvaar, kyk die hofnou éérs of die skipper en eienaars verant-woordelik was vir die ongeluk deur middelvan die vrywaringsvorms.

Indien Sarah se saak suksesvol is, sal ska-devergoeding in ’n nuwe saak bepaal word.

Die verhoor duur voort.

Appélle teennuwemall gaanvoortHEDDA MITTNER

Jannie Kruger, die areabestuurder vanRetail Africa, het Vrydagmiddag 14 Fe-bruariediebestuurvandieHermanus-sa-kekamer en ander belanghebbende par-tye toegespreekbydieWhaleCoast-hotel.Tydens hierdie drie-uurlange geslote ses-sie ishyglogepepermetvraeoordienuwevoorgenome inkopie-wandelhal in Sand-baai, die Whale Coast Village Mall.

Volgens Rob Fryer, bestuurder van WhaleCoast Conservation, het Kruger nie antwoor-de op al hulle vrae gehad nie. “Die WhaleCoast Village Mall is ’n kommersiële onder-neming en vir Retail Africa gaan dit oor kapi-taalopbrengs, enniediewelsynvandieomge-wing of die inwoners van Hermanus nie,” sêFryer.

Op sy beurt sê Kruger die vergadering was’n positiewe stap omdat daar verskeie belan-gegroepe in Hermanus is by wie daar onse-kerheid en ongegronde vrese bestaan.

“Ek het die besware op ’n saaklike manieraangespreek, sonder emosie, en feitelik ver-duidelik dat deeglike marknavorsing bewysdie groei van die mark in hierdie gebied reg-verdig die ontwikkeling. Daar is baie voorde-le vir die dorp aan verbonde, soos werkskep-ping, die verbreding van die belastingbasisen die verbetering van infrastruktuur. Dieontwikkeling sal op die langtermyn positiefweesvirHermanusendiekorttermyn-nadeleis iets wat ons sal moet hanteer.”

Retail Africa het vroeg in Januarie goed-keuring van die Wes-Kaapse departementvan omgewingsake en ontwikkelingsbeplan-ning ontvang vir die oprig van ’n kleinhan-del-inkopiewandelhal met ’n oppervlak van27 800 m². Volgens die omgewingstudie duimarknavraag daarop dat die sentrum oor dievolgende tien jaar sal kan uitbrei na die mak-simum van 38 900 m².

Die Hermanus-sakekamer, Hermanus-be-lastingbetalersvereniging sowel as WhaleCoast Conservation het ’n voorneme om teappelleer teen die omgewingsgoedkeuringvir dié ontwikkeling, ingedien. Die sakeka-mer het ’n openbare vergadering byeenge-roep op 4 Februarie by die Whale Coast-hotel,

waar verskeie plaaslike rolspelers en belang-hebbendes hul bekommernis uitgespreek hetoor die nadelige invloed wat die Whale CoastVillage Mall op die oorlewing van besighedein die sakekern mag hê.

Alta Pretorius van die Hermanus-sakeka-mer sê, terwyl Kruger vrae beantwoord enbekommernisse aangespreek het, het daarmeer duidelikheid aan die lig gekom aan-gaande potensiële huurders. Omdat daar noggeen huurkontrakte geteken is nie, kan diéinligting egter nog nie bekend gemaak wordnie.

“Die Hermanus-sakekamer handhaaf ’nwetenskaplike benadering ten opsigte vandie voorgestelde nuwe Retail Africa-ontwik-kelinginSandbaai,”sêMervynMilner,presi-dent van die sakekamer.

“Konsultante en regslui is genader en sa-mesprekings is gevoer met verskeie rolspe-lers. Heelwat navorsing is ook gedoen aan-gaandeanderdorpewaarinkopie-wandelhal-le die sentrale sakesentrums geaffekteerhet.”

Volgens Milner word al hierdie inligtingen gegewens gebruik in die opstel van die sa-kekamer se appél. “Die sperdatum vir die ap-pél is Maandag 24 Februarie en voor daardie

tyd sal ’n finale verslag gesirkuleer word aanbelanghebbendes,” sê Milner.

Die Hermanus-belastingbetalersvereni-ging (HBBV) en Whale Coast Conservationgaan ook voor 24 Februarie hul appél indien.

“Ons ondersteun die ontwikkeling in be-ginsel,” sê Bob Stanway, ondervoorsitter vandie HBBV, “maar ons appél berus op twee be-sware – dat die ontwikkeling te groot is enliewer met ’n kleiner oppervlak moet beginen in fases groei om ooraanbod te verhoed;en dat daar geen voorsiening gemaak wordvir openbare vervoerfasiliteite nie.”

Die keuse van kleinhandelhuurders is ookvan kritiese belang, sê Stanway, maar omdatdit ’n private ontwikkeling is, is daar geenmanier om die keuse van huurders op die ont-wikkelaar af te dwing nie.

Deon Beukes, voorsitter van die Sandbaai-belastingbetalersvereniging, sê hulle is tengunstevandieWhaleCoastVillageMall.“Dieontwikkeling hou baie voordele in vir die in-woners van Sandbaai. Dit sluit in die opgra-dering van infrastruktuur en beter verkeers-vloei in Bergsigstraat en die Hoofweg, en diegerief waarmee inwoners, veral pensioena-risse, in Sandbaai sal kan inkope doen inplaas daarvan om dorp toe te moet ry.”

Car syndicateexposedJANINE VAN DER RIET

Five members of a vehicle theft syndi-cate were arrested after a series of carthefts were reported, mostly in Zwelih-le, over the past few months.

The first suspect was arrested after theFord Bantam bakkie he and an accomplicehad presumably stolen was found aban-doned at theHoneymoonbridge just beforethe Kleinmond turn-off on the R43.The vehicle came to a standstill with no

petrol and the suspects walked to the ga-rage at Salandra.After they bought petrol, they hitched a

lift back to the bakkie, but upon theirreturn, a member of the provincial trafficdepartment had seen the abandoned bak-kie and stopped to investigate.The two suspects tried to flee the scene,

but one suspect was arrested by the trafficofficial.

Further investigation conducted bydetective constables Siphelele Mtholo andElliot Mjonose found two more suspectslinked to the incident.They were arrested in Zwelihle.In another incident the same day, a

suspect was arrested in Muizenberg and avehicle, which was stolen in Zwelihle, wasrecovered following a police investigation.Another vehicle which was stolen in

Motorists fedupwith roadworksdelayHEDDAMITTNERANDANNETTETHERON

Frustration is mounting amongmotorists whomake regular useof the R320 between Hermanusand Caledon to get to work and/or home.

“The road is in a terrible condi-tion and there’s just nothing hap-pening,” says Carolyn Martin, co-owner of Creation Wines in theHemel-en-Aarde Ridge. “We havealmost givenuphopeaswewere ex-pecting to see project engineers, la-bourers and equipment on the roadby now.”Following a closed tender proc-

ess, the Department of Transportand Public Works (DTPW) signed anew contract with Brink & HeathCivils on 29Januaryafter theprevi-ous contractor, Vusela Construc-tion, went into liquidation.At the time, senior operations

manager of the department, AntonNell, gave his assurance that con-struction will resume within thenext week or two. However, Brink&Heath’s projectmanager KenwynStreet, says motorists will have tobe patient for at least another twoweeks even though they have beenon the site since Monday 10 Febru-ary.“WehavemovedintoVusela’ssite

offices and are currently assessingthe condition of the road with ourengineers. We need to establishwhat has been done and what not,and the standard to which the workhas been done.“There has also been extensive

storm damage to parts of the roadsince Vusela ceased construction,and this forms part of a separate in-surance claim. The assessors havebeen on site with the engineers toquantify the damage, which willhave to be repaired before we cancontinue with the project.”AvrilAdams,principalofDiepgat

Primary, says the condition of theroad is atrocious. “My car rattlesand shakes and I am worried aboutthe impact the condition of the roadhas onmy suspension and steering.Lately there have been large rockslying in the road, resulting in mehaving to move over to the otherside of the road in order not to drive

over them and shred my tyres.“What upsets me even more is

that nobody informed us about thedelay. I am totally fed up. Beforeroad works commenced, the roadwas in a far better condition thanit is now.”Dieter Odendaal, a resident of the

area, says the roadworks, and espe-cially the delays, have had a nega-tive impact on the local economy.“Due to the bad surface of the roadunder construction and the lack ofmaintenance, many people had todig deep in their pockets to keeptheir cars on the road.” Odendaalsays the road has also become dan-gerous and there have been a

number of accidents lately due tothe lack of upkeep.Martin confirms that the mainte-

nance of the road is “appalling”.“Therehavebeenquite a fewacci-

dents – just lastweeka carwith fourmembers of our harvest crew hit arock in the road, lost control of thevehicleandskiddedoff the road intoa ditch.“We’ve also had to go and assist

motorists who were on their way toour tasting venue when their vehi-cles broke down,” Martin says.“Several clients have said they

willnotdobusinesswithusuntil theroad is fixed, and the road is costingmy employees dearly in terms of

maintenance,breakdownsandacci-dents.”Martin adds that the road ismuch

better since it was scraped lastweek. “The road is passable andbearable – if it is maintained,” shesays.Martin feels that the DTPW over-

promises and under-delivers. “Weneed better communication and arealistic time line so that we knowwhat to expect,” she says.Odendaal agrees. “As a resident,

we were all looking forward to thetarring of the road as a positive fac-tor in our lives, but the lack of com-munication from the departmenthas been disappointing and we feelleft in the dark,” he says.“We look forward to the road be-

ing completed as soon as possibleand hopefully we won’t encounteranother delay.”According to Street, once the

process of inspection and assess-ment has been completed, the firstpriority will be to make the roadsafe.“Wewill start by repairing theby-

passes to make the road safer andmore convenient for motorists dur-ing the remaining construction pe-riod.This isa15-monthcontractandwith all the delays sinceVuselawasplaced under liquidation, the com-pletion date has moved forwardfrom September 2014 to May 2015.”Anton Nell, senior operations

manager of DTPW, says they areaware of the bad condition of theroad but still believe that motoristscan adapt as the road is not inacces-sible and the situation is only tem-porary.

Beach fun turns dangerousHEDDA MITTNER

A reader alerted the HermanusTimes about an incident at On-rus beach on Sunday morningthat could easily havehad tragicconsequences.The reader says childrenwere

playing in the estuary and usedtheir beach spades to dig atrench in the sand leading fromthe mouth of the estuary to thesea.“It was all innocent playful

kids’ stuff, the weather wasgreat, idealbeachconditions.Noone could have foreseen the dan-ger that was about to unfold,”writes the reader.It appears thatwhat started as

a small trench suddenlygrew in-to somethingmuchbigger as thewater from the estuary startedrushing through the breach.Aresidentwhowasalsoon the

beach that morning, Eben Vil-joen, says as the breach wid-ened, the water gained momen-tumandturned intoaragingriv-er with rapids. He says therewere adults present who helpedthe children to dig the trench.“At first thekidsenjoyedit tre-

mendously and took rides downthe ‘river’ on their boards and li-los, but it soon became extreme-ly dangerous.“The people on the beach on

the other side of the river couldnot get across. I saw one elderlyladytryingandgetting into trou-ble halfway through. She had tobe helped along by bystanderswho went to her aid.”The reader also says the flow

became more powerful by theminute.He sawayoungboywhowas being swept away when hismother jumped in to save him.“They both then got into furtherdifficulties, but luckily therewas another parent in the rapidthat lifted them both to safety.“Bynow this rapidhad turned

into a beast of a torrent, gather-ingstrengthasmoreof thebeachsandwas eroded, creating awid-ermouth for a greater volume ofwater to flowout of the estuary.”The reader says members of

the public should be aware thatthis is not only irresponsible butunlawful. “Not so long ago somefellows were fined a substantialamount fordoing the sameat theKlein River mouth,” he warns.

Die fikstes onder die bejaardeinwoners het om 08:15 wegge-spring en ’n roete van 1,3 km omGolden Harvest gestap. DinkieMarais was eerste oor die “wen-streep”, en daarna was daar nogtwee korter pretlope binne diekompleks. As beskerming teendie bloedige son het talle deelne-mers kleurvolle hoedens en son-brillegedra, enhulle looprameenrolstoele was met blomme envrugte versier.

Nadat almal gelawe is met bot-tels yskoue water en jogurt, wasdit tyd vir die inwoners om hulvaardigheid met ’n skilmessie tedemonstreer in die appelskil-kompetisie. Die wenner was NielSteenkamp, wat die wisseltrofeeontvang het vir sy appelskil van

94 cm lank.En nog was het pret niet voor-

by. Volgende op die program was’n praatjie gelewer deur die dieët-kundige Liesel Jordaan, wat ge-handel het oor die belangrikheidvan vrugte in bejaardes se dieet.

Diedag isafgesluitmet ’nvrug-te-en-broodfees, met sagte vrugteuit Ceres en druiwe van die Hex-riviervallei, saam met varsge-bakte brood net soos ouma dit opdie plaas gebak het.

Natural beauty puts heron posterLocal beauty SandraWilkenwas pleasantlysurprisedwhenwalking past Logic Lifestyleboutique to see a poster of her on displayinside.“A friend of mine, Nina Holloway, was

asked by Afriganic Sunglasses to photo-graph their range of sunglasses. Nina thenasked me to be her photographic assistant,and I was all too happy to do just that,” saysSandra.While waiting for the seven models to ar-

rive, the owner of Afriganic Sunglassesasked whether Sandra was one of the mod-els, and when Nina replied that she wasn’t,Sandrawasaskedtomodelapair.After that,she was simply included in the line-up ofmodels. Her natural beauty needed hardlyany make-up and no special outfit.For Sandra, who is a student at Boland

College currently, this was a nice little ad-venture during the December holiday, butfor now she’s putting her head down and fo-cusing on her studies and voluntary workat the Hermanus Provincial Hospital.

Warn public about hazardous environmentYour recent newspaper edition (6 Febru-ary) was brought to my attention and Ithought it worthwhile writing to you inresponse to the headline article entitled:“Publickept inthedarkaboutpollutedestu-ary”On 3 January my family and I were

swimming in and around the rivermouth– along with many other holiday makers(in essence taking up floating devices ofsorts and riding out the part of the rivermouthonthem).Whilst thiswasgreat fun,we would certainly not have done this ifthere was a sign up saying that the estu-ary/river was polluted.Mydaughter (aged 4 years old) endedup

in hospital for the night of 4 January aftervomiting and experiencing diarrhoea(booked into hospital by the doctor on callat the Emergency ward, as she was dehy-drated after the continuous vomiting etc).At the time wewere convinced that it wassomething related to thewater in the rivermouth, but were unable to pin anythingdown other than the pharmacist at Clicks

in Hermanus who mentioned that anumber of other people had come in to col-lect medication related to similar symp-toms, and asked if we had been swimmingin the river mouth.The purpose of this mail is merely to

voice my disappointment about the factthat there were people who knew aboutthese sewerage spills but decided that itwas in the best interests not to erectwarn-ing signs. As a father, it is extremely wor-rying when your 4-year-old daughter ishospitalisedforaperiodof time–certainlyenough to ruin a couple of days of yourholiday.Thebills fromtheHermanusMediclinic

were not insignificant on their own, butof minor importance when compared tothe health of a family member. Spilt milknow, but in future we should be able totrust the authorities to let us know whenthe environment is potentially hazardous(with unseen “hazards”) through the useof temporary warning signs.

The Malls – a window ofopportunity for the CBDDuring the recent era of property boom anumber of professional people invested inolder houses in and around the HermanusCBD for business use, adding to the parkingchoke.Other reasons ie tin town and wide-spread

retail stores also lead to the creationand frus-tration in hunting for parking, which helpedto reduce the number of shoppers, includingsomeof the elderlywhoavoid shopping in theCBD.The CBD is old-school shopping which has

also become the demise of many small townsin SA with layouts not functional.HermanusCBD fortunatelyhas the sea and

whales which one has direct contact with,which other towns cannot offer and that isenough to keep the CBD alive.Using the average income statistics of Mr

Piet Louw (HT 13/2/2014), the majority fami-lies living in outer Hermanus will spend upto 10% of their income on fuel and parkingto shop in the CBD.Taking the fuel and parking expenses into

consideration, then the costs of crossing themountain monthly to shop at the malls therehave a minimal difference.The malls will relieve the pressure in the

CBDand should some retailersmoveon, thenbusiness Hermanus should see this as a win-dow of opportunity to realign the CBD bykeeping the old-school look while taking thetransition of online shopping into considera-tion and creating a proper website for retail-ers in the CBD.Business Hermanus – it will not help the

CBD to challenge competitors. Be creative byremoving the ongoing problems from theCBD and business certainly will improve.

Twoboomslange comevisiting

On a recent hot and sunny day twoboomslange were seen in our garden in Voël-klip. The first was seen peering through mysecretary’s office window from the surround-ing ivy, giving her the fright of her life.A snake removal expert (André Neethling:

082 425 0456) was called and spent the betterpart of the day following the two boomslange,a male and female, between the hedges andtrees on the boundary of our property.Eventuallyhemanaged tocatchandbag the

large brown female (approx. 1,5 m) on the flatroofof theoffice, tobereleasedlater– farawayfrom residential areas.The next morning the slender black male

came back to the rooftop of the office andsniffed around with his forked tongue for hisabsentmate – it was very touching to see andfittingbehaviourbeing so close toValentine’sDay!Eventually he slithered off into the fynbos

before Neethling had time to return. Sadly,

a week later, a dead boomslang already in astateofdecaywasseenonthelawnofourprop-erty, presumablykilledbyamongooseorbirdof prey. Mongooses and a few other animalsare immune to boomslang venom,which con-tains a potent but relatively slow-actinghaemotoxin interfering with the blood clot-ting mechanism of its victims.However boomslangs are very shy and

Naweek se weergoed vir uitstappies

Die maan gaan die naweek in sy laaste kwartierin en ons sien vanDonderdag af reeds die voorlo-per in die totale draai van die weer dieper dieherfsfase in.Voor ons vandag oor diemoets enmoenies van

moontlike neerslae vanuit die aankomende fron-tjie kan gesels; dus eers gou vertel dat die volgen-de twee dae die beste kans is om snyblomme teplant of te saai, wortelsaad in die grond te kryen die tuin vir oulaas goed te bemes en nat te kry.Dit is alweer ’n simpel soortweerwat dieOver-

strand die volgende paar dae kan verwag. Bene-wens die bietjie nattigheidWoensdagnag (gister-aand) sien ons Sondag enMaandagweer so rond-om 1 mm reën grond toe kom.Soos Weerhaan se meterlesings aangedui het,

het die aankomende front toe sowat 600 km suid-wes van die land opgebreek.’n Paar fraiings daarvan is egter nog in lynmet

die Kaap en dit lyk of dit beslis die Overstrandkan aandoen.Die vogopname in die diepsee, voor die front

verswak het, wasminder as 2 mm en ons kan niemeer as dit weer op die grond verwag nie.Elkebietjie sal egternou indiewarmweerhelp

om die verdamping in die dorpsdam ’n bietjie testriem.Die hele weerpatroon “dans” tans volgens die

maan se stand.Diewarmlugleegtes tussendieWes- endieOos-

Kaap verplaas min lug en dit bepaal die wind-

spoed wat baie statig rondom 20 tot 30 km/h salbly.Die afskaling van die wind vind ook in ’n vaste

patroon plaas en daarom sal ons vandag vir ou-laas die suidwes inons gesigte voel.Vrydagdraaidit suidoos en dan bly dit vir ’n week so.Ook die seestrome vestig hulle in die patroon

op rondom233° suidwes. Die deinings sal nie veelhoër as 2 m wees nie, wat nogal gaaf is vir ama-teurbranderplankers wat nie met die afvalslaghul neuse in die sand wil voel nie. Die brandersis net voor sonsak effens hoër en effens te rof virkinders.Vir ons hengelaars is die komende suidoos en

die strome uit die suidweste ideaal om Walker-baai se gewildheid te beklemtoon, want as diewind aanstaande week gaan lê, gaan die vis weidat dit klap.In ’n neutedop is die naweek se weerpatroon

goed vir sake en selfs uitstappies op die talle stap-roetes.Besoekers moet daarop let dat padwerke nie ’n

nuwe besienswaardigheid is nie – slegs ’n vroeg-jaarlikse irritasie.

A pleasant weekend lies ahead, with mild sunny days, almostnowind and only about 1 mmof light rain expected on Sundayand Monday. It is the best time for gardening – planting andsowing, fertilising and watering.

Kleinmondhawe in laastefasevanontwikkelingJANINE VAN DER RIET

Die laaste fase in die ontwikke-ling van die Kleinmondhaweskop een van die dae af waarty-dens die hawegedeelte ’n splin-ternuwe baadjie ter waardevan R6,5 miljoen sal kry.

Diehawe is rondom1938 tot 1940gebou. Dit het eintlik goed behouegebly deur die jare, maar die afge-lope tydvervalle enonveiligbeginraak, sê Johan Pauw, projekleiervan Wharfside DevelopmentsKleinmond (WDK).WDK het ontwikkelingsgrond

by die Overstrand-munisipaliteitgekoop deur middel van ’n open-bare proses.As betaling in ruil daarvoor

moes WDK siviele dienste in diehawegebied verbeter tot voordeelvan die gemeenskap, sowel as diehawe bo en onder die hoogwater-merk opgradeer.’n Herontwikkeling van die er-

fenisgedeelte gaan ook binnekortdeur die herbou en opknappingvan die Vishuis en ander gebouebegin.Diehawegebiedisdielaastefase van ontwikkeling. Daarwordbeoog om dit binne vier maandeaf te handel.Die aanvanklike ontwikkeling

van die baan nie.“Onsmoet egternoueersdie op-

wat die wooneenhede, sakeperse-le enaftreeoordbetref. Pauwsêditsal egter gebeur sodra die ekono-mie dit toelaat.Die aspekte wat aandag sal ge-

The first Walker Bay Active outdoorsport event, presented by the Sea-and-Sand Institute, is scheduled to takeplace from 30 April to 3 May.

The logistics, safety and other arrange-ments were discussed during an openmeeting on Thursday 6 February at theWhale Coast Hotel.Parking arrangements were clarified

with traffic authorities and Sea-and-Sandwill take care of all the safety measures.According to the founder of Sea-and-

Sand, Sparks Estherhuizen, this projectmust be seenaspromoting sport and recre-ation in the Overstrand rather than as acompetition.“Thereforewe decided to award the first

30 finishers with gold founder’s medals. Itis not about winning or losing or whocomes first or second, but rather who hadthe guts and endurance to take part andfinish the race.“With arts festivals across the country

all towns need to import their artists, butwith an outdoor sport festival like this wehave all the resources right here in theOverstrand,” he says.

Throughthisproject,Sea-and-Sandaimstoraise fundsfortheinstituteandiscallingon sport and outdoor “junkies” to enter.The items which can be competed in in-

clude the following:) Marathonswim(2,5 km) fromtheNew

In a letter,whichHermanusTimeshas in its possession, Kerney wished theSea-and-Sand Institute all thebestwith theproject.

Fowl play or nature’s wayKERRY VAN RENSBURG

When two pheasants “fell fromthe sky”, one after the other, andlanded neatly in her courtyard,PatPoulterwasalarmedandmys-tified.On Friday 7 February at about

14:30 Pat and her 10-year-oldgrandson, Jess Terblanche wereinthe loungeof theirhomeinCan-terbury Street in Westcliff, whenthey heard a loud thud.Pat asked Jess to investigate

and when he went outside hefound a dead, but still warmpheasant lying on the ground. Hequicklywent back inside throughthe loungedoor,whichopensontoa bricked verandah and lush gar-den, and was busy telling hisgrandmotherwhathadhappened,when they heard another thud.They both rushed outside andthere,alongside the firstbird,wasa second bird lying neatly along-side it.The area they landed in is sur-

rounded on three sides by a highbrick wall and outdoor staircasewhich leads to the upstairs part

of the house.Pat says the pheasants and

guinea-fowlvisithergardendailyand she feeds them birdseed andbread crumbs. She says pheas-ants have laid eggs in the backgarden and raised their young insafety. Shedoesnotknowhowthetwo dead pheasants landed in thecourtyard side-by-side with theireyes closed. She says they triedpouring a little water on their-heads to revive them, but it didnot help. Pat thenmoved them in-to the shade incase they recov-ered, but nothing worked. Shesays theyhadnoobviouswounds,aswouldbecausedbyapelletgun,and she could not see any blood.Patsays:“If theyfell fromabove

the house, or the roof, and landedin a heap of rumpled feathers, Icould understand. But they werelying neatly next to each other,which is quite frightening.”Pat thinks perhaps they were

poisoned, but again, they wouldhave landed in a heap. Jess andPat have since buried the birds inthe garden, but are no closer tosolving this fowl mystery.

WeesbewusvanverhuringslaggateHEDDA MITTNER

Daar is drie partye betrokke by verhu-ring,” sê Jacqui Jackson van rentalsdot-com, “en die agent is die een wat in diemiddel sit.”

Volgens Jackson verduidelik sy altyd eersdie inhoud van ’n kontrak aan die huurderen verhuurder, maar nadat die partye gete-ken het, kyk hulle nooit weer daarna nie.

“Dan vergeet die huurder baie maklik datdie kontrak uitdruklik bepaal hy/sy moet el-ke maand ’n bewys van betaling lewer, of dathy/sy nie sommer self veranderinge of her-stelwerkaandie eiendomkandoenendit danvan die huur kan aftrek nie.”

Ander algemene klagtes sluit in: Huurderswatsommerindiemiddelvandiemaandken-nis gee en dan ’n week of twee later uittrek.Dikwels betaal hulle dan ook nie die laastemaandsehuurnieomdathullemeenditworddeur die deposito gedek. Of hulle betaal diemaandeliksehuuren/ofdiemunisipale reke-ninglaat.Ofhullebepaalhulleniebydiereëlsvan die huiseienaarsvereniging of regsper-soon nie. Of hulle verwaarloos die eienaar setuin en laat die gras en plante vrek.

Praat met enige verhuringsagent en dieslaggate blyk eindeloos te wees. En dis ooknie altyd die eienaar wat aan die kortste endtrek nie. Dit gebeur ook dat huurders met ’nlangtermynkontrak uit die bloute ingeligword dat die eienaar besluit het om te ver-koop, of om self in die eiendom te kom woon.

Daar is landwyd verhuringstribunale watingevolge die wet op verhuringsbeheer totstandgekomhet, enhoweiswaarklagtesaan-gehoor en dispute besleg word. Maar dit kan’n uitgerekte proses wees en selfs waar ’n

huurder agterstallig raak en vir maande ver-suim om sy/haar huur te betaal, kan jy slegsmet ’n hofbevel ’n huurder uit sy woonpleksit. Voorkoming bly dus steeds die beste op-sie.

)Vyfstappewatverhuurderskanneemom slaggate te vermy:

1. Gebruik ’n ervare en betroubare verhu-ringsagentskap (of eiendomsagentskap met’n verhuringsafdeling) wat ’n geldige Getrou-heidswaarborgfonds-sertifikaathet–veralasjy nie in dieselfde area woon waar die eien-dom geleë is nie. Die agent sal dien as ’n tus-senganger sodat jy nie lastig geval word metallerhandekleinighedenie.Dieagentsal sorgdat die huurder sy/haar verpligtinge nakomen sal jou van professionele raad en bystandvoorsien as daar probleme opduik.

2. Sluit ’n geskrewe huurooreenkoms metdie verhuringsagent waarin al die voorwaar-des vandiemandaat duidelikuitgespelword.Maak seker julle verstaan wat elkeen se ver-antwoordelikhede is en watter tarief jy dieagentskap gaan betaal.

3. Geen nuwe huurder mag sy/haar intrekneem voordat ’n verhuringsooreenkoms op-gestel is nie. Die kontrak se voorwaardes enbepalings moet duidelik uiteengesit en deurdie huurder onderteken word. Waar van toe-passing,moet die reëls en riglynevan ’nhuis-eienaarsvereniging of regspersoon deel vandie kontrak vorm en ook onderteken word.

4. Die verhuringsagentskap moet alle po-tensiële huurders se kredietgeskiedenis or-dentlik nagaan voordat ’n kontrak opgestelen gesluit word.

5. Maak seker dat jy jou versekeraar inligdat joueiendomverhuurword,enpas jouver-sekering aan sodat jy genoegsame dekkinggeniet. Hou aan om die eiendom in stand te

hou sodat die toestand nie agteruit gaan endie eiendom waarde verloor nie.

)Vyfstappewathuurderskanneemomslaggate te vermy:

1. Maak seker jy het ’n geskrewe huurkon-trak wat deur ’n betroubare gelisensieerdeagentskapopgetrek is endeur al die betrokkepartye onderteken is voordat jy intrek. Maakseker jy verstaan al die bepalings en voor-waardes van die kontrak, en ook die reëls enregulasiesvandiehuiseienaarsverenigingofregspersoon waar van toepassing.

2. Doen ’n volledige inspeksie van die eien-dom om vas te stel of dit aan al jou vereistesvoldoen, en om vas te stel of dit in ’n goeietoestand is. Meld enige gebreke of skade aanwat nie in die kontrak geskryf staan nie.Maak seker daar is duidelikheid oor die in-standhouding van die eiendom, binne en bui-te, en oor wat wie se verantwoordelikheid is.

3. Lig jou versekeraar in van jou nuweadres en sorg dat jy voldoende dekking hetvir jou besittings, want dit word gewoonlikniedeurdieeienaarseversekeringgedeknie.

4. Onthou dat water en sanitasie, diensteenkragafsonderlikvandiehuurbetaalword.Versoek betaalrekords om uit te vind wat vo-rige huurders betaal het, sodat jy vir die uit-gawe kan begroot.

SPRINGBOK FACTORY ­ WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ABOK BY LIZ MCGREGOR: The original idea for thisbook was for McGregor to follow Jean de Villiersand the rest of the Springbok team through the 2011World Cup – their preparation, logistics, and a day­to­day diary leading up to their expected victory. At theend of the tour she sat with a 45 000 word manu­script, hoards of photos documenting every step, butthere was no victory and who would want to readabout a failed campaign? McGregor explored anoth­er avenue – an investigation of the Springbok produc­tion line, i.e. what it takes to be a Bok. She focusesprimarily on the Du Plessis brothers (Bismarck andJannie), Jean de Villiers and Schalk Burger. Their par­ents, schooling (the most productive is Grey Collegein Bloemfontein, with 22 Boks; second is Paarl Gym­nasium with 10) and sporting history, with interviewswith their moms, teachers, coaches and lecturers. Thisis great reading and gives good insight into the na­ture and nurture that turns a boy into a Bok. It is fol­lowed by chapters on Logistics (what it takes to or­ganise a tour); Maintenance (keeping the Bok andtheir bodies in shape and fit to play), The wives andgirlfriends; The Black Bok; The Big Bok Loss; TheOwners; and The Banker. In my opinion the bookstarts off at a fast pace and then fluctuates withhighs and lows towards the end, but rugby afficiana­dos (and not just a rugby fan, like me) will no doubtvalue some of the information more. There are lots ofphotos. John Dobson, WP coach, says this is the mostinsightful book on Bok­rugby he has ever read, andNick Mallett describes it as a must­read for true rug­by supporters.

TAX, LIES AND RED TAPE BY DAWIEROODT WITH LINETTE RETIEF: Find out why:• It’s wrong to blame Wall Street bankers forthe global financial crisis. • The rhino­horntrade should be legalised. • Exempting any­thing from VAT is a bad idea, even for thepoor. • Job creation is a fruitless exercise.• South Africa’s problem is not poverty. Tax,Lies and Red Tape is an easy­to­understand,very opinionated book about economics.Roodt argues that economics is not aboutnumbers, graphs and statistics; it is aboutpeople, and how they react to incentives.Unfortunately, he says, our politicians seemto have forgotten this. Using simple conceptsand thought­provoking anecdotes, he ex­plains how ‘the market’ evolved with human­ity, what was wrong with communism, whatthe global financial crisis is really about, theways in which the state spends your mon­ey (and ways it actually should), how tax iscollected, how money and inflation reallywork, the ins and outs of trade, and the upsand downs of labour. In the process, Roodtdebunks politically correct thinking and cur­rent government policy, and suggests alterna­tives for a more effective system.

Graspopportunities forabetter lifeOnFebruary12Sake 24 inDieBurger rantheir leadstoryonaspeechbythechair-manofPSGGroup,JannieMouton,whowas a guest speaker at the opening ofthe newly established entrepreneur-ship gap year programme that is nowbeing offered by the business school atStellenbosch University.

Whilereadingthearticle, I couldnothelpthinking: what a brilliant idea. Students,who sign up after matric will, for a periodof six months, attend lectures in entrepre-neurship and business management forthree days a week. They will receive indi-vidual and groupmentorship and endwitha draft of each one’s “life plan”.This approach is intended to provide

matriculants with a constructive alterna-tive to the conventional gap year customwhich involves spending a year overseasdoing odd jobs such as working in bars oras security guards,whichmore likely thannotwill have no bearing on their future ca-reer plans and aspirations.What really struck me while digesting

this suggestion and Mouton’s other chal-lenging comments in conjunction withthought-provoking arguments containedin J P Landman’s recent book, The LongView, was how critically importantopportunities and choices are. Not only forone’s financial wellbeing but in shapingone’s overall capacity to deal with life’schallenges.Opportunities are not to be confused

with lucky breaks. Sure, some people arebornwith distinctive advantages that pavethe way to their success.Examples include a high IQ, natural

sporting talent, musical genius andmodel-like looks. Others are even born wealthy –asanaside,wealthandsuccessarenotsyn-onymous. Many successful people ascribemost of their achievements to being at theright place at the right time.Be that as it may, these are examples of

special opportunities arising in the livesof specially endowed people.

Quite ordinary people should be awarethough that opportunities constantly passtheir way which, if grasped, can bringabout life-changing results.These often go a-begging because of a no-

tion that opportunities are for only the se-lected blessed ones. Quite the contrary.Let’s look at two examples that will proba-bly be relevant to most readers.On 7 May eligible South Africans will

have the opportunity to vote for a new gov-ernment.Voters who are satisfied about how our

country and its respective provinces arerun, will see this as an opportunity to keeptheir representatives in the saddle.To thosewhohavehad enoughof corrup-

tion, poor service delivery, a pathetic andstill deteriorating educational system anduseless municipalities, the electionpresents ahugeopportunity (whichwill begone by 8 May) to make their proverbialvoices heard.The general elections’ outcome will af-

fect everyone’s life – in particular his/herpocket–asalmosteverythinggovernmentsdo has a direct financial impact on all citi-zens.Ratesandtaxesmaychange–socouldthe way your hard earned tax rands arespent or misspent by a new government.Theextent of social grantswill be reconsid-ered.Howeffectiveanewparliamentaryoppo-

sitionwill be inanew legislaturewill influ-ence life inmanywayswithnewapproach-es, laws, taxes and interventions.Grasp the opportunity to cast your vote

and influence your future.Pertinent to the youth’s yearning for a

better life – materially and in many otheraspects – the opportunity presents itself tobuild long-term financial success by sys-tematicanddedicatedsaving/ investment.Onceyouembarkonthisroad, theoppor-

tunity for spectacular long-term returnscan be exploited by engaging the power –or rather, magic – of compounded growthof returns.To accumulate wealth, you need time on

your side. Start early.Yes, it is difficult for most young people

to save and many are not prepared to com-mit to the discipline of ongoing saving butthe long-term rewards will outstrip what-ever the sacrifice is perceived to be.Parents should understand this, should

encourage their children not to spend eve-rycentandassist theminmakingasavingsculture their own.Many older people realise too late that

they never grasped this opportunity. Andnow they cannot turn back the clock to en-sure financial peace of mind. Don’t let thisopportunity pass you by.Mouton and Landman urge South-Afri-

cans to be positive about our country’s fu-ture and to be involved in carving a betterfuture for us all.Choose to be involved. Face the challeng-

es. Grasp the opportunities offered by our“very strange society”.I endorse Landman’s comment: “To live

inSouthAfrica, youmust learn to livewiththe ambiguity of the place. If you can’t copewith ambiguity, I recommend Canada orAustralia.”Note: This article does not constitute ex-

STEVE JOBS BY WALTERISAACSON: “The peoplewho are crazy enough tothink they can change theworld are the ones whodo.” The biography onSteve Jobs starts with thestory of an ordinarychildhood. Steve wasadopted and knew thisfrom an early stage. Hisbiological mother requiredhis adoptive parents topledge that Steve wouldreceive a college educa­tion – a promise theykept. Steve’s adoptive fa­ther, Paul, fixed up oldcars and through this pas­time he taught Steve ne­gotiating skills and a fo­cus on sleek design and precision work. At school it became ap­parent that Steve was intellectually superior to his peers and theschool proposed that he skip two grades. Steve’s parents decidedthat he should only skip one grade, which meant that he was withchildren one year older. As a junior he was sometimes bullied atschool. It was also at school where Steve met Woz – StephenWozniak – an electronic genius. This meeting set Steve on thecourse that would determine his future and legacy. Woz and Stevebecame business partners and their different strengths helped toconceive Apple. Steve’s parents kept their promise and sent him tocollege where he led a bohemian existence, became bored, anddropped out. After college he worked part­time and later startedworking at Atari. It was only a matter of time before Apple wasborn. The founding and management of Apple should be a busi­ness studies prescribed book as all the lessons of good and badmanagement are intertwined as you turn the pages. The book re­flects constantly on Steve’s brilliance as well as his complex per­sonality and strained relationships. Reality Distortion Field (RDF) isa term coined by an Apple employee to describe Steve, as hecould distort an audience’s sense of proportion and scale of diffi­culties, and make them believe that the task at hand was possible.Steve’s love­hate relationship with the other “tech titan” Bill Gates,is just another one of many stories captured in one book – emo­tional stories about an adopted son who deals with abandonment,stories of brilliance, electronic development, design, management,relationships… All these are contained in this biography that isjust short on 600 pages on the life of a genius who enjoyed mak­ing things simpler yet aesthetically more pleasing. In 2011 recur­ring cancer caused the end of Steve’s life but he will always beremembered – especially by the loyal customers of Apple products.

It is aneasy read withonly the page onthe right printedwith text. On theleft side there arepictures or illustrations to soften the unavoidable theoretical ap­proach to the future of our country.

Not the book for seasoned academics or econo­mists but very informative for the average person wanting tounderstand South Africa and its economic situation better. Thebook breaks complicated issues down to a practical level andmakes you want to read more. One section concludes withSouth Africans’ ability to live with ambiguity and advises thatone should simultaneously keep the contrasting pictures that wesee on the news in mind. This is not easy. To live in South Africayou need to deal with the ambiguity that surrounds us. Thebook concludes that more things are going right than wrongand this does indeed give a sense of hope as the author wishedit would. The author is a self­employed political and trend ana­lyst. His focus areas are trends in politics, economics, social cap­ital and the interplay of demographics and economic growth. Hehas an undergraduate and law degree as well as a MPhil in Fu­ture Studies from Stellenbosch University. He also studied Eco­nomics at Harvard. In 2009 he completed a course at OxfordUniversity on the economies of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia,India & China). REVIEW BY FRIEDA LLOYD

Birkenhead Commemorationth nd

25 – 26 February 2014 (162 Anniversary)

HMBirkenhead ­asurvivor’s taleHMSteamerBirkenheadwas a 1 400 ton Brit-ish iron paddle frigate built in 1845 and con-verted into a troop carrier in 1848.

While transporting troops from Simon’sTown to East London for the Frontier War,shestruckarockoffDangerPointnearGans-baai, and sank.

Legend has it that she was carrying£240 000 in gold (about 3 tons) as part of a mil-itary pay packet.

A salvage group called Depth RecoveryUnit, led by Dr Allan Kayle, salvaged a fewhundred gold coins in the mid and late 1980s.

A Survivor’s TaleThis is an extract of a transcript of a letter

foundinthearchivesofHiltonCollege,Natalin 1994 by Dr Allan Kayle, written by oneof the HM Birkenhead survivors, EnsignG.A. Lucas, 73rd Regiment.

“This is as near as possible a copy of myletter to my father, written as soon as I wassufficiently strong to write. It is only a lad’sletter – I was not 20 then...

(signed) G.A. Lucas.17 July 1905.”Lucas later settled in Natal and became a

magistrate and chief magistrate of Durban.

“Cape Town,20th March 1852I hope you received all the letters I wrote

on my passage out.From the time we left Cork, I wrote from

every place we touched at,[1] but above all I

trust you got the one written from Smails farmon the Kleyne River, [2] as soon as you wouldhave heard of the loss of the Birkenhead. I wasunable there to write much, and could not givemany particulars of the shipwreck, but I shallnow in this letter.

We left Simons Bay[3] from whence I wroteto —/ at 6 oc PM – the 25th February, and gotwell out of the bay before dark.

I turned in at 9 oc as I was to have the watchondeck from4 to 8 oc.Wewere thengoingabout8½ knots an hour with two boilers. I slept likea top, and know nothing of what happened upto the time I was awakened by three distinctshocks. I started up, and immediately it struckme that we were on a rock.

I went on deck,[4] the first person I met at thetop of the companion ladder was the ship’s car-penter[5] – I asked him what was the matter?His answer was not very consoling: “We aresinking fast, we have got 13 feet of water in theship forward.”

I then went below and dressed. When I cameon deck again I sawCaptain Salmon giving or-ders from the Poop [deck]. The shipwas rollingat this time somuch that it waswith great diffi-culty any body could stand.

We had 9 horses on board; they were kickingand plunging furiously, several had fallendown.

Just at this time one of the engineers cameup to the poop and reported that water had putthe fires out in the Engine Room... ”

Newventure for tourismmanagerHEDDA MITTNER

The office manager of Her-manus Tourism, TeressaJones, spent her last day atthe bureau on 10 Februaryafter resigning earlier thisyear topursueherdreamofmanaging her own guest-house.

Togetherwithherhusband,Francois, who is also a regis-tered tour guide, Teressa willbeengagedfull timeinmanag-ing a six-suite guesthouse inWestcliff which the coupletook over in June last year.“Mymain challenge during

the last few years has beentime management,” says Ter-essa. “I gradually came to therealisation that I simply can’tdo everything and I had tomake a choice. I can nowthrow myself heart and soul intothis new venture and I am lookingforward to working from home sur-rounded by my family.”Teressa says she’s always been

passionate about tourism. “It’s nev-er been just a job to me; it’s a life-style,” she says.Teressa’s latest challenge isoneof

many adventures she’s embracedsince leavingKimberley, where shewas born and grew up, matriculat-ing atKimberleyGirlsHigh and lat-er working as a diamond sorter forDe Beers.Shemet Francois after relocating

to Cape Town and they got marriedin 1996. About five years later thecouplemoved to theOverstrandandlived inDeKelders and Stanford be-fore settling in Sandbaai with theirson Matthew, who is now 14 and alearner at Northcliff House College.The couple became involved in

tourismwhen Francois started Sce-nicTours–“at that timeJCSmitandIwere the only tour operators in thearea,”he says –andTeressawasem-ployed as accommodation managerat Hermanus Tourism.She also worked as assistant gen-

eral manager at the Misty Waves

Hotel for five years and dida stint at La Vierge as man-ager of their tasting roombefore returning to Her-manus Tourism in March2012. A fewmonths later shetook over as officemanager.Teressa says she is look-

ing forward to workingalongside Francois, doingwhat they both love.Rochester Manor had

been left in a neglected stateby theprevious tenants, andwhentheownerapproachedthem they did not have tothink about it for very long,says Francois.“It had been a guesthouse

before and when the owneraskedTeressa if she knewofanyone who might be inter-ested in renovating theproperty and running it asa guesthouse again, she im-

mediately said: ‘But we’ll do it!’”Nowthat theguesthouse isupand

running, it sounds as though Teres-sa is going to be busier than ever be-fore. Apart from facilitating tour-ism training courses, she is also as-sisting in the management of SAForest Adventures.“Tourism is in my blood,” she

says.“It’s wonderful to see what a long

way tourisminHermanushascomesince we first started out. Our areaisnow firmlyon themap, both local-ly and internationally, as a primeholiday destination.”

André Gouws, the weather was per-fect and all except the fewwhowereslightly sea sick, enjoyed it thor-

oughly. “The group was full ofpraise about the professional waythe trip was conducted and theywere treated like any other foreigntourist, with true South Africanhospitality,” says Gouws.“When Brian heard that no par-

ents were accompanying the learn-ers, he did not hesitate to get backin the boat and take full responsibil-ity for our children – and this afteralready doing two previous trips.”

LET’S TALK ORCHIDS: Ground orchids werein an astounding profusion in the mountainsof Hermanus during the past summermonths. Regular hikers most probably wererewarded with a colourful parade of Disas,Satyriums, Pterygodiums and many other or­chids each blooming at their expected times.To complement this amazing season, the Bo­tanical Society has invited William Liltved,author of The Cape Orchids, to share hispassion for orchids at their speaker’s eveningon 21 February at 19:00 at the FernkloofHall. In his book, the relationship betweenCape orchids and fire is explained, with spe­cial reference to orchid life­history strategiesthat enable survival in fire­prone vegetation.He will discuss the pollination of Cape or­chids by butterflies, moths, flies, bees, beetlesand birds, covering previously unknown pol­linators, as well as deception and mimicryby the orchids, self­pollination and naturalhybridisation. With fynbos on our doorstepand the ravages of the fire fresh in ourmemories, the talk by this knowledgeable,world­renowned botanist, historian and pho­tographer promises to be a highlight not tobe missed.

Daihatsu Terios: ’nBuksievir enigepadLISE BEYERS

En daar raak ek toe halsoorkop verlief. Ennieopeenof ander spiertier toy-boynie,maarop my Daihatsu Terios.

Omdiewaarheid te sê, ekwasnognooit ’nmo-tor-mensnie. ’nVoertuig is bloot ietswatmyvei-lig van punt a tot punt b moet bring, en dan ooknie elke ses maande in die werkswinkel belandmet een of ander skeet nie.Vyf jaar geledewas ek in diemark vir ’n nuwe

motor–ofeerdernuwe, tweedehandsemotorwatdie sak van ’n armsalige joernalis pas. My kleinstadskarretjie was besig om pak te kry, want ekmoes letterlik deur berge en oor dale ry om by’n storie uit te kom.Ek het iets meer robuus benodig, veral met ’n

hoër grondhoogte. Ekhet vir LouisMinitzer vanOmni Cars hiér in die Paarl gebel en aan homverduidelik wat ek het, wat ek min of meer wilhê en wat ek kan bekostig.

Binne minute is ek terugge-skakel en Omni Cars het net dieryding vir my, sê hulle – ’n 2008Daihatsu Terios met 60 000 kmagter die blad.Sywas tog te oulik toe ek haar

die eerste keer aanskou het, ’nbuksievan ’nsportnutsvoertuig,maar omdat ek tweedehands ge-koophet,hetekeersdiehulpvan’nvriendwat baie vanmotors enmeganika af weet, ingeroep omdie Terios van nader te bekyk.NadatKlausdiemotorgoedon-

dersoek het en vir ’n toetslopiegeneem het, het ek sy goedkeu-ring gehad om die transaksie tesluit. En van dié dag dat ek diemotorhawe se vertoonvloer inmy splinternuwe tweedehandseTerios verlaat het, het ek nognooit teruggekyk nie.Behalwe dat ek dikwels op die

padis,soosgenoemsomsbergopendalaf,vaarek tog te graag die vlaktes in.My eerste rit dievertes in met my Terios, was ’n jaar nadat ekhaar gekoop het – ’n onvergeetlike langpad-kuier in Namibie.Die pad tussen die Paarl en Vioolsdrif het

gevlieg in die gemak van die Terios. Oor diegrens is daar afgedraai na Aussenkehr en ’nkortkop verder het ons afgedraai op die Gods-verlate vlakte, die woestyn in.Ons was oppad na die Visrivier-canyon en

vooronsbyonskampeerterreinkom,moesonseersby ’nklipperigebergpassieopry.DieTeri-oshethierdiepadsonderhikofhoeskafgedraf.Verby die canyon het alles vlot verloop na Lü-deritzendaarnaookdiepadtussenAusenHel-meringhausen.In plaas daarvan dat ons die gewone toeris-

roete na Sossusvlei geneem het deur Helme-ringhausen, het ons afgedraai op die D707, ’ntaamlike nagmerrie. Die pad het gewissel tus-sen erge sinkpad en rooi sand.Die rit langs die Tirasbergewas egter asem-

rowend, met die byna bloedrooi berge in dielaatmiddag son en rooi duine, waar soms ’npaargemsbokkegedwaalhet.Die toestandvandie pad was so vrot dat dit ons byna drie uurgeneem het om die 90 km te ry. Maar dan, ons

was ook nie haastig nie en heerlik gemaklik inmy Terios.So ry ons verder deurNamibië, sonder enige

probleme. Ek het wel voorsiening gemaak virdie wis en die onwis, veral vir bandprobleme,met my kompressor, band-regmaak wurmpiesen al die ander nodige gereedskap. Ek wasskoon teleurgesteld dat ek dié nooit moes ge-bruik het nie.Op die lange pad tussen Solitaire en Walvis-

baai lê daar elke hier en daar ’n wrak van ’nmotorwat die grondpadonderskathet.Ookhetons ’n paar keer verby konvooie 4X4’s gerywatop toer deur dié mooie land was. Dan het eenvan hul luukse rygoed onklaar geraak en hethulle op die plek tent opgeslaan terwyl hullewag vir hulp vanaf Walvisbaai.Lekker windgat ry ek stadig verby met my

elmboog deur die oop venster en vra of ek niekan help nie. Van die mans raak sommer sobloedrooi in die gesig.Soverloopallesvlotdeurdie land, totbyCape

Cross, diewoestyn in, oral. Die laaste dag voor-datonsdielandsouverlaat,neemonsdiegrond-pad vanaf Swakopmund na Windhoek. Ons isnog nie gereed vir teerpaaie nie en wil so lankas moontlik in die verlate vlaktes bly.OnsryindierigtingvandieKomashochland.

En dan die onlangse ritnaTerracebaai indienoordwestevanNamibië.Nêrens het sy ’n skeet opgedoen nie, nie eens’n pap wiel nie.Benewens hierdie buksie se vaardighede op

moeilike paaie, is sy ook die ideale dorps- engesinsmotor,met ’n ruimkajuit wat alle passa-siers gemaklik op die langpad hou. Alhoeweldie kattebak klein lyk, dra dit ’n goeie hoeveel-heid bagasie, omnie te praat daarvanas die sit-plekke platgeslaan is nie.Sal ek haar vir iets anders verruil?. Nee. Be-

kostigbaarheid, betroubaarheid en volhou-baarheid.Dit is kortlikswatmyTeriosmybieden ek wil haar eintlik bestuur totdat sy eendag’n klassieke versamelstuk is. Vir eens inmy le-we kan ek sê dat ek nou ’n intieme verhoudingmet my motor het.

Die Daihatsu Terios is ’n buksie gepas vir talle moeilike terreine,maar is ook ’n baie gemaklike stadsmotor. FOTO: LISE BEYERS

Reën plaas geen demper opValentynsdag­toernooiCHRISSIE VAN WYK

Die onverwagte reënbui wat Vrydag 14Februarie skielik oor Hermanus uitge-sak het kon nie die geesdrif van dieplaaslike rolbalspelers tydens hul Va-lentynsdag-toernooi, geborg deur Raw-son Properties, demp nie.

Mettertyd het die reënwolke oorge-waai en kon die spel in alle erns voort-gaan.

Die spel was geskoei op die hoogstetelling van elke speler na afloop vandrie rondes van 12 koppe elk.

Na afloop van die dag se spel was dietrotse uitblinkers Divvie de Villiersmet ’n puntestand van ses plus 26 diebeste lei, Sarah Joubert tweede met ’ntotaal van ses plus 13, en die skip metdie hoogste telling van die dag was AmandaMeyer met ’n totaal van vyf plus 16. Die alge-hele wenner van die dag was Joe Hartzen-berg met ’n finale telling van ses plus 29.

Die president van die Hermanus Rolbal-klub, Blackie de Swardt, het almal hartlikbedankvirhulleondersteuningen ’nspesia-le dank gaan aan Tish Bryce (klubkaptein)

vir die suksesvolle reëlings.Daarna moes die mans egter hul sakke
