MUIZENBERG: REMAINS OF MALES

Bones keep their secretsTERESA FISCHER

THREE skeletons unearthed at the Mui-zenberg Police Museum have beenfound to be the remains of men, likely

of European ancestry.The cause of death could, however, not be

established.Construction workers made the grim dis-

covery during renovations. The remainswere found about 10cm under a cement slabfloor in what was the old library.The museum used to consist of a magis-

trate’s court, complete with cells, and a po-lice station. The police stationwas previous-ly used as a library and the courthouse asa post office. It dates to 1910.The initial remains were discovered on

Wednesday 12 December and excavated on

Thursday 3 January.Two more bodies discovered on Saturday

12 January were excavated on Tuesday 22and Wednesday 23 January (“More remainsunearthed”, People’s Post, 29 January).A report has been compiled by Dr Jacqui

Friedling and Belinda Speed, both of UCT’sDepartment of Human Biology.Anthropological assessments suggest a

time of death at least 100 years ago, addingthey are likely to be historic (less than 350years).The report states the remains had re-

mained undisturbed since the original floorwas laid, as the soil was clean and pristinewith only sea shells found with the burial.The surrounding and retaining walls wereof a concrete mixture of the early 1900s in-cluding natural rock of the surrounding are-

as. There was evidence of habitual pipesmoking on the teeth of all the bodies.The first body was lying outstretched on

its back in an East-West direction, but thiswas deemed to be an informal burial as therewas no coffin.The limbs deviated “quite substantially”

from the midline of the body, thus deviatingfrom the “usual Christian burial style”.The person had been about 1.9m and aged

between 30 and 40. There was no clothing as-sociated with this burial and some animalbones were found.The burials of the second and third skele-

tons were more formal as coffin remnantswere found. They were lying on their backswith their wrists flexed over their pelvis.The second individual – about 1.77m – is esti-mated to have been between 40 and 50 years

old at the time of death. Clay pipe fragmentsand fish bones were were found with thebody.There were no clothing remnants.The third individual is believed to have

been between 35 and 40 years at the time ofdeath, and 1.69m tall.No clothing remnants were present, but

some animal bone and clay pipe fragmentswere found.The remains are protected under Sec-

tion 34 of the National Heritage ResourcesAct and permits for their removal were ob-tained from Heritage Western Cape and theSouth African Heritage Resources Agency.No further burials were discovered.The remains are currently housed at the

Forensic Anthropology Laboratory at theDepartment of Human Biology at UCT.

MARGUERITE TRIMM says there are nomeasures she can put in place to see her randgo further. “There’s no contingency plan.Today you’ll have enough and tomorrowsomething else increases. Times are tough.”

DARION PILLAY says salaries should beadjusted especially in poorer communities. Healso points out there are simple ways to savemoney. “You can save money on electricity bycooking rice once a week and then freezing itfor the week’s meals.”

JOHAN MCMAHON says there is nothing youcan do about price increases but there areways to live a sustainable lifestyle. “Insteadof buying take­away chips you can buy a packof oven chips and make it at home. You canalso cook enough food and freeze it.”

WEAK RAND: PRICES SET TO SOAR

Food forthought in SACARRYN-ANN NEL

RICE, grain, bread, chicken and wheat.These are some of the products South

Africans will cough up more for overthe next three months due to the weakeningrand.

The weak rand is disadvantageous to con-sumers.

It especially has a negative impact on im-ported products, said Professor Johan Wille-mse of the University of the Free State’s De-partment of Agricultural Economics. Thiscomes after the rand plummeted to R10,28 tothe dollar recently, amid fears of unrest inthe mining industry and indications that theinterest rates in the developed world maystrengthen. The rand has been trading at be-low R10 since the major drop.

It was recently reported that the weakerrand would lead to a bigger profit for export-ers, but imported products are more expen-sive. So the price of which products will in-crease?

Willemse said the prices of a number ofproducts will rise in the next three months.“We import all our rice, so rice will be veryexpensive. We also import half of the grainused for bread products, so bread prices willrise,” he said. “Then we have the debateabout imported chicken, so the price ofchicken will also increase. South Africa im-

ports 350 000 tons of chicken annually.“Two-thirds of our cooking oils are im-

ported, so those prices will also increase. Inaddition, wheat and maize will also rise.These increases have a ripple effect on eggan dairy farmers, because feeding becomesmore expensive. “We have become a net-im-porter and that means that the problem israther serious – everything we buy is direct-ly more expensive.”

Willemse said South Africans will onlyfeel the impact on their pockets in the nextthree months. The increase is expected to bebetween 30% and 40% of the base price.

“It’s a bad place for the country to be in,because salaries will not be increasing.”

According to Dawie Klopper, an invest-ment economist at PSG Consulting, import-ed vehicles – as well as the parts which aremostly imported – jewellery and furniturewill also be more expensive.

The diminishing rand also has a psycho-logical impact on consumers, he added.

“The rand is seen as the share price of thecountry, so when the rand is not well, thecountry is not well. It is followed by a nega-tive sentiment.”

It also has an impact on the inflation rate.“It will prevent the interest rate from de-creasing and people who have borrowedmoney will select lower interest rates,”Klopper said. The rand’s trading value alsohas an impact on the petrol price. “Despitethe drop last week, the price may again in-crease next month.”People’s Post took to the streets to hear

what readers had to say.

More than 1000 cellphones confiscatedRICHARD ROBERTS

A TOTAL of 1 081 cellphones have been con-fiscated from Cape Town motorists.

This was done in accordance with the or-dinance of the City of Cape Town which al-lows for the confiscation of cellphones ofmotorists caught using them while driving.The ordinance was implemented in 1 Julylast year.

Motorists caught using their cellphoneswhile driving are fined R500 and their cell-phones are confiscated for 24 hours. Theycan reclaim their cellphones at Gallow’sHill Traffic Department in Green Point.Transgressors can collect their cellphones24 hours after the offence and pay the finelater.

The traffic fine is a written notice con-taining both a pay and court date.

City traffic spokesperson Richard Cole-man said 96 of the 1 081 cellphones – nearly10% – have not been reclaimed.

The cellphones are held for three months,after which the details of the owner arehanded to the police.

“However, we continuously contact theowners to remind them to collect them,” hesaid, adding offenders do not pay for thelock-up or storage of the phones.

“They may only collect them after 24hours and during working hours. Thismeans if your phone was seized on Friday,you may only collect it the following Mon-day,” he said.

Coleman could not confirm the sum col-

lected from cellphone fines. “Many of thewritten notices have not expired.”

When asked whether men or womenlargely transgress, he said: “At this stage itis actually equal.”

Offenders are between 30 and 50 years.When asked in which areas the offenders

are caught, Coleman said: “In the CBD. Itmostly happens in the afternoon when mo-torists leave work and need to tie up someloose ends, or have to arrange something athome before they arrive.”

Asked about the success of the new mu-nicipal ordinance, he said: “It is relativelysuccessful. We notice a decrease in the useof cellphones while driving.”

They are considering adding a seizuretariff to the existing fine, he said.

Anti­smoking law heads for final stretchMARELIZE POTGIETER

THE days of smokers puffing on a ciga-rette on a stoep or the sidewalks outsiderestaurants or coffee shops may soon benumbered.

The new regulations on smoking inpublic places and outdoors are in the finalstage before being promulgated.

So says Joe Maila, spokesperson forhealth minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi.

“Our legal team is reviewing the regu-lations. I cannot confirm when it will bedisclosed, but it is in the absolute finalstage of the process,” he says.

The proposed regulation was publishedin the Government Gazette in March lastyear, after which it was made availablefor public comment.

The proposal includes that no one maysmoke within 10m of a door or window ofa restaurant; schools or areas where chil-dren are cared for; stadiums, sport are-nas, playgrounds or zoos; health facili-ties; outdoor eateries or bars; areas which

serve as outdoor locations; undergroundparking or walkways; and on a beachwithin 50m of someone swimming in a de-marcated area.

Restaurant owners would be held liablefor anyone smoking where it is not al-lowed. They have to ensure there are noashtrays available in sections of the res-taurant where smoking is prohibited.

Restaurants will be allowed to intro-duce a smoking area on the premises.

However, no food or entertainment canbe provided in this section and it may not

be close to a pavement or area with con-stant foot traffic.

No children under the age of 18 will beallowed and smokers are to be discour-aged from lingering in the demarcatedsmoking area beyond the time it takes tosmoke a cigarette.

Professor Michael Herbst, the head ofCansa’s health division, said second-handsmoke is very harmful.

“Very few people smoke without a fil-ter. At least this is something that pro-tects you against arsenic, nicotine andcarbon dioxide. The smoke from the frontend of the cigarette contains all theseharmful substances. Without a filter non-smokers are exposed to it,” he says.

“There is also third-hand smoke. Theseare the toxins in smoke which cling to fur-niture and floors. Babies and childrencrawl on the surface and are exposed toit.”V Share your views by SMSing the word “Post”, fol­lowed by the your comments to 32516. SMSes costR1.

saulted her boyfriend, resulting in his deathtwo days later.Provincial police spokesperson Captain

Frederick van Wyk says the deceased, a 50-year-old man, was allegedly assaulted at thecouple’s residence on Sunday 2 June inMari-na da Gama.VanWyk says: “He suffered severe injuries

to the head. He was discovered by a nearbyresident on the pavement outside the premis-es.”He died in hospital as a result of his inju-

ries onTuesday 4 June. The suspect, a 54 yearold woman, was arrested on Tuesday regard-ing the incident. She appeared in Muizen-berg Magistrates’ Court on Friday 7 June on

a charge of murder.The outcome of the this appearance could

not be determined by the time of going topress as the docket had not returned fromcourt.It was reported the woman used a set of his

crutches to assault Lionel de Robillard, whowas spotted crawling naked down a pave-ment on Shearwater Drive, in an attempt toescape.It was also reported he had needed the

‘No fee’ for fishing rights?PHILDA ESSOP

SMALL-SCALE fishermen can look for-ward to paying very little or nothingwhen they re-apply for fishing rights.Desmond Stevens, the acting deputy

director-general of the Department ofFisheries, said the possibility is beingdriven by the department.He presented a proposal to the Parlia-

mentary Portfolio Committee for Agri-culture, Forestry and Fisheries aboutthe progress of the awarding of fishingrights. The rights of eight sectors expireon 31 December.The Small-scale Fishing Policy, as

well as amendments to the Act of LivingMarine Resources, was recently openedfor comment. These amendments andthepolicy aims to officially acknowledgesmall-scale fishermen.Stevens said the department simpli-

fied the application process.In thepast application formsconsisted

of more than 30 pages and was difficultto complete. The formswill be shortenedto just five pages and officials will be onhand to assist with completion.“We also aim to make the application

fees more affordable. In the past it costbetweenR5 000 andR8 000.We’re consid-ering making this cost significantlyless,” Stevens said.“We are currently negotiating with

the National Treasury about theamount. We are also considering charg-ing nothing, with regard to the imple-mentation of small-scale fishing policy.”Meriam Phaliso, ANC MP, welcomed

this step. “It will cancel out the middle-man who exploits people, leaving themwith just paper quotas,” she said.Amendments to the Act of Living Ma-

rine Resources will bring social relief.“This must be done at the speed of a jet,because it needed to be done 50 years agoalready,” Phaliso said.ANC MP Salam Abram warned Ste-

vens that people would hold him to hisword. “You do not make a promise youcannot keep,” he said.Stevens again stated that the depart-

ment was in negotiations with the Na-tional Treasury to abandon the applica-tion fee for small-scale fishermen. Hesaid consultants charged people up toR900 to complete forms for the renewalof permits.

Be on guard for scam artistsTERESA FISCHER

AN NGO for the deaf has distanced itselffrom con artists using their name.A reader, who asked to remain anony-

mous, says he was approached in Long-beachMall byan individual solicitingdona-tions. In exchange for his donation, thereader says he was offered a sign language“card” containing Sign Language handsigns. A website (www.handspeak.com)was printed on the card.He made a donation and received the

card. He emailed the NGO to verify if it wasgenuine.He says: “On investigating the website

quoted on the card it appears to be a con.”Calling them “fraud peddlers”, Hand-

speak says theyare “using thedomainname‘handspeak.com’, which is absolutely noth-ing to dowith any activities in SouthAfricaor anywhere, except for the website”.Handspeak says the donations are for

“personal gain” and advises against dona-ting. “Inform others (and) tell any peddlersto remove the word and refuse donations.”Charles Nyakurwa, of Deaf Hands at

Work, says: “This is a scam at its best. DeafHands at Work will never beg for dona-tions.”He adds that people who tarnish their

good image must be stopped.

From forging metalto moulding soulsTERESA FISCHER

CANONHenry Frieslaar celebrated fivedecades after being ordained into thepriesthood at St Francis of Assisi An-

glican Church in Simon’s Town last Sun-day.Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

preached, using the parable of the lostsheep to remind the congregation of God’slove for everybody.DrStevenvanderMerwe composed a spe-

cial piece for Frieslaar.Called The Blacksmith’s Mass, the piece

is in honour of the priest’s original trade –he worked as a blacksmith at the Navaldockyard for five years before heeding acalling to the priesthood. The music wassung by the church choir, to the accompani-ment of a small orchestra.Frieslaar (75) was brought up in Mount

Pleasant, Simon’s Town. At his home in Si-mon’s Town, he chats about his life.Frieslaar says heworked under Tutu, but

when the Archbishop retired, he bought ahouse in Milnerton – where Frieslaar wasin charge of the parish. “My boss becamemy parishioner,” he says, adding he had al-so blessed Tutu’s house.At the celebration service, he was given

an autographed biography about Tutu, thelegendary cleric.He says he felt a calling to work as a

Christianpriestwithpeoplewhowere expe-riencing adversity. At the Theological Col-lege inGrahamstown, hemet hiswife Irma,who was training to be a teacher.

The couple, who have three children,were “on the road” for 40 years, moving tovarious parishes where he was dispatchedto serve – often in poorer communities inBredasdorp and George.He says the most rewarding aspect of be-

ing a priest is being able to help peoplewhen they are really in need.“It is always traumatic to counsel some-

one who is sick and dying, especially if theperson is someone you know well.”Over the years Frieslaar has played an in-

tegral part in the lives of parishioners.And, he says, there have been many fun-

ny moments throughout his career.Recallingone example relating toburials,

he says: “When I was stationed at a churchin George – which was near a railway line– the grave could initially only be dug half-way, as passing trains would disturb theground and cause it to cave in.”He says he would have to give a special

signal to those digging the grave that hissermon was almost complete, and theywould quickly complete the hole. Frieslaarsays they would also need to conduct buri-als when there were no trains passing be-tween George and Knysna.“On one occa-sion a special train we were not expectingcame through. I slid in feet first on top ofthe coffin. Everyonewas laughing, even themourners, who had to pull me out.”He retired in 2003, but still serves when

required.V The service at St Francis of Assisi was held withthe kind permission of the Reverend Nolan Tobias,the present rector.

NOORDHOEK COMMON: VINTAGE RETURNS

Classic car makesa comebackTERESA FISCHER

A 1958 Fiat Millecento, which for sometime has been parked on vacant landopposite the Noordhoek Common –

and which was stolen in broad daylight –has been tracked down.The classic car attracted much attention

when it first made an appearance severalmonths ago.The plot where the car was parked was

thrust into the spotlight when public com-ment was sought for plans for a 100-seaterrestaurant at the site.On Thursday 30 May Mathew Wallace

sent an email to report the classic car hadbeen stolen, adding his family was desper-ately trying to get her back.He explains the Fiatwas being kept at the

family’s plot as it could no longer be keptin storage in Sea Point.A week later – thanks to a swift response

by the Chapman’s Peak NeighbourhoodWatch (CPNW), the Silvermine Neighbour-hoodWatch (SNNW)and thepolice – the carwas recovered.Leon Gerber, the vehicle’s owner, who

lives in Johannesburg, reported the theft toCPNW.Awitness reported seeing twomen push-

ing the Fiat. A second witness recalled see-ing the car being towed away in the mid-morning.Wallace says a review of the SMNW cam-

era footage showed valuable evidence – in-cluding how a BMW –was towing away thegreen Fiat.

The BMW was found to be registered toa resident in the valley.Police discovered the BMW had last year

been sold to a person in the motor repairindustry.They found the BMW as well as the Fiat

at the premises.A suspect, who was unable to provide a

credible explanation, was arrested oncharges of vehicle theft as well as being inpossession of stolen property.Gerber says he planned to use the Fiat as

a feature at a country restaurant he has ap-plied for permission to build at the site.He says a local architect has drawn up

plans for a quaint, stone building with athatch roof, with the brief that is mustfit into the overall ambience of the location.He adds there would be over 40 parking

bays and that the restaurant’s footprintwould not exceed 300m².Gerber adds they had to submit very de-

tailed plans so concerns that they woulddeviate from these are unfounded.The neighbourhood watch points out

Family fun at Sunday marketIWOULD like comment about howwonder-ful the Cape Point Vineyard’s Sunday mar-ket is.As a community – and I speak on behalf

ofmanywho live in the area –we absolutelylove this market. We love the food, the viewand the opportunity for family gatheringsin this amazing place. It is such a pleasureto have something to do in groups, withfamily and friends or even alone!Iwas shocked, for the second time, tohear

yesterday that someone again is complain-ing that the market “is impacting negative-

ly on the environment”. I do not under-standnor do Iwish to accept this ridiculousprotest.Themarket poses nonoise in the areanor

do we have a traffic or parking issue. Sohow exactly does this impact our environ-ment?I would love for more people in the area

to write in and give a little protest of ourown.We love the Sunday market at the Cape

Point Vineyard!Mascha van Zyl, Fish Hoek

Involve community in decisionI HAVE been a facilitator and communityworker in Ocean View for the past fouryears, wearing many caps, and I think it isshocking to even consider a petrol stationand convenient store at the entrance ofOcean View.Howwill this bringmoremoney toOcean

View? By guaranteed employment for fourpetrol attendants and one cashier in theshop for 45 000 Ocean View residents?No, the onlyway itwill increase business

is for the drug dealers who will have a safeplace for outsiders to come and buy theirdrugs from and not having to risk going in-to Ocean View.Not only is it respectful, but also the right

that the Ocean View community is includ-ed. Starting with the Ocean View Ratepay-ers’ Association, the Ocean View Civic As-sociation, the Southern Aboriginal Coun-cillors and clergy.In 2012 a request was made to the City of

Cape Town to allocate that area as amarketarea for the community whereby they can

have small businesses providing drop-offor on-the-spot services and crafts, and freshproduce to promote economicupliftment inOcean View.These services will be supported by the

South Peninsula. The knowledge and herit-age that is locked up in this community isso rich, foreignerswould love to experienceit if only they got to know about or have ac-cess to it.This should be a gateway into the herit-

age of the first people of which the OceanView community are descendants. We livein a valley that is so rich in ancient culture,sacredness and biodiversity, wemustwakeup to see the beauty around us and restoreand preserve.By connecting with our neighbours and

supporting each other we will become sus-tainable as a valley. We have already start-ed in Ocean View, a power of communitymovement aiming for sovereignty, and itcontinues to grow positively.Liesl James, Creating Change

Working in MountainView is rewardingMOUNTAIN View is a truly blessed com-munity and the amount of improvementthat has been shown, is truly amazing.This community has treated me like I’m

part of them. When I go into MountainView, I feel at homewith the friendlypeopleand animals.I spoke with Denise Izaks, a community

representative, and she was very disap-pointed after the public thought of this com-munity as being a bad place (“Dogs rapedin township”, People’s Post, 30 April).I would like to say, this community is far

from a bad place. In fact, this is awonderfulcommunity that is always willing to learnnew things.Daily when the team and I go in, we see

new improvements. This iswhywedowhatwe do. I will not stop helping this communi-ty as I have been helping them since I was14 years old.This is my passion and helping the ani-

mals in communities such as MountainView iswhat I enjoymost. It’s so rewardingfor me, knowing I can go to bed after know-ing they are warm, fed and safe.I would also like to mention that the re-

sponse from my previous article was good.Thankyou to each and everyone of youwhoassisted with food, blankets and kennels.Words can’t describe howmuch thismeansto the team, Mountain View and the sur-rounding communities.Jaque le Roux, HOPE

Plight of elderly: readers want to help. I read the article by Tammy Petersenwith regard to the plight of the elderlyand it really upset me (“Twilight timeturns to worry years”, People’s Post, 4June). I would really like to assist andsend a food hamper to Moira. Linsay

.The story of Moira really touched me.I would like to make contact with herand bless her with some things. Shireen

. The article has really struck some-thing within our family, particularly thestory about a lady named Moira who stillhas to pay rent to her landlord everymonth with the little money she receives

from the government. We’d really like tohelp and we were hoping you could help,too. If we could, we’d love to help asmany elderly people as we can, butperhaps we can start by taking food orclothing items to Moira on a weekly basisand start small. We just want to help.Daniels family

. With regard to your article about theplight of the elderly, I found it very sad. Ifound Moira’s story very touching and, ifpossible, would like to get in touch withher and try to help her in any way I can.Thanks for opening our eyes to this –

we should hang our heads in shame.. I was in tears over your article. Do

you have any idea how I could anony-mously get R100 to Moira?V This report has received overwhelming responsevia emails, phone calls and letters. It is heart­warming to know People’s Post readers continueto care for others. This newspaper cannot issuethe personal details of the sources in the reportout of respect for their circumstances and as it isagainst company policy. There are many otherpeople like Moira and Agatha who are reallybattling. Please consider extending your generositybeyond the confines of those named in the story.

THE mould, together with the accompa-nying musty smell caused by damp,will linger in the informal dwellings in

Masiphumelele after the rains stop.Mould thrives in the building material

used to construct the structures. This, saysMarti Weddepohl of the NGOMercynet, canbe extremely dangerous, especially to im-mune-compromised patients.Weddepohl says in America houses would

be condemned for having mould, but shesays in SA there is little awareness. She saysthemould is often a reasonwhy the childrenhave lingering chest infections.According toWeddepohl once theweather

gets warmer and the spores are released,people breathe them in, causing far-reach-ing health problems.People’s Post joined Weddepohl for a walk

through Masiphumelele to examine theflood damage. Mercynet provides humani-tarian aid logistics and risk reduction afternatural disasters.She explains people sometimes forget the

amount of logistics involved in aid relief,such as making sure donations match theneeds of the people.“Most people never get a picture of how

bad it gets around the canals,” says Wedde-pohl.Salvage efforts were underway, but every-

thing was wet. It is not possible to avoid themud.She commends the City for having done a

good job of diverting the canals around thedwellings, but notes pollution in the canalsis preventing water from draining away.Resident Albertina Dalingozi says water

came from beneath the ground as well asfrom the roof and she could not keep herthree children’s clothes dry. Thick blackplastic sheets are all that helps, she adds.

Another resident, who does not want to benamed, says: “I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’teat.”Proportional Representation councillor

Mzuvukile Nikelo says the community wasseverely affected by the storm, adding largeparts of Masiphumelele faced electricitycuts and flooding.“There is still a need for plastic covers. If

anybody wants to donate plastics, they arewelcome to contact me.”He adds the floods were taking place dur-

ing mid-year exams.“They are faced with a challenge where

their homes are not habitable when theyneed themmost. We have appealed to the lo-cal principals to open up schools as studycentres in the afternoon and weekends to al-leviate the plight of these kids.”He says most of the roads have potholes

and they have appealed to the roads depart-ment to assess the damage and do necessaryrepairs.Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, of the City of

Cape Town’s Disaster Risk Management,saysMasiphumelelewas inspected for flood-ing on Sunday 2 June.He says: “The inspection revealed that 430

householdswere affected in the low-lying ar-ea in Section A, B, C, D and E.“The City’s Disaster Risk Management

Centre assisted the affected victims with1000 blankets and hotmeals, including 40 ba-by packs.”NGO Living Hope appealed for donations

of clothing of all sizes, as well as blankets.Donations can be dropped off at LivingHope’s front gate (opposite Food Zone) or atthe Pink House in Masiphumelele, oppositethe clinic. For more information contactKaren Peiser on 083 456 9594.V To donate plastics contact Nikelo on 083 435 2570.

Tips oninsuranceTHE financial institution (bank) whichgrants your home loan will require thatthe property be covered by Homeown-er’s Insurance. Theywill take out the in-surance on your behalf or you can sub-mit your own insurance provided yousupply the bank proof it is insured onan annual basis.The bank needs to ensure that the

property – including all the buildings onit, the swimming pool, borehole/pumps,walls, driveway, and so on – is insuredfor the full current replacement value.Homeowner’s Insurance does not cov-

er your personal belongings. You willneed to take out Motor and HouseholdInsurance for this purpose.It also does not cover the outstanding

balance on your home loan if you die orbecome disabled.Terminology. Over-insured is when your insur-

ance cover is more than the replace-ment value of the property. The insur-ance companieswill only pay out the re-placement value and not the highinsured sum. Review your insurance atleast once a year.

. Insurance to value iswhere your in-surance is equivalent to the replace-ment value. This is the preferred status.

. Under-insured is where there is ashortfall between the value of the prop-erty and the sum insured.For more information contact Glenn,

Inge or Dawn at the Engel & VölkersFish Hoek office on (021) 782 0006 or viaemail at fishhoek@engelvoelkers.co.za.

Technology enhances opportunitiesGLOBAL-BASEDcompanies, like Fine&Coun-try International Realty, nowoffer local SouthAfrican estate agents the opportunities to ex-cel and grow their client base quicker andmore easily using the best technology availa-ble.But a great number of estate agents are still

wary of using it due to a lack of skills.“Estate agents can maximise their business

through the use of modern technology,” saysTony Webb, principal of Fine & Country FalseBay.Webb predicts that the agents who align

themselves with internationally-based com-panies will excel in the next decade.Not as previously believed to attract inter-

national buyers, but mainly because of the in-troduction of new innovation to the property

market, he says.After all, technology is the main source to

connect people easily, faster and more effec-tively.Webb says that the role

of “motivational speaker”has not changed and timemanagement lectures arestill of utmost importanceto estate agents.All “active” estate agents

who are serious abouttheir jobsneed tips on timemanagement.A prominent feature of

modern-day real estate,and a great time saver, istechnology.Agents are given the op-

portunity to acquire skillsto use the advanced tech-nology available to them.Themarketing tools pro-

vided by the companiesare quick and easy to useand open upmore time forsales and provide moretime to ensure buyers arehappy with services ren-dered.“The mobility of buyers, combined with

these tools, provides an agentwith a far great-er reach, says Webb.Technology available to agents includes

websites that provide potential clients withupdated information and visuals, as well aseasy access to agents.“But it is the phone and tablet applications,

the QR codes, the videoettes, the floor plan in-novation, the on-line brochure print applica-tions and the international reach through

property portals that en-hance our business sub-stantially”.In the UK Fine & Coun-

try is the first estate agen-cy group to advertise inthe Daily Telegraph App.This has created an oppor-tunity for tablet and smartphone users to access all ofFine & Country interna-tional property throughthe Telegraph’s tablet andsmart phone audience.Since 2010, tablets have

proven to be a device seg-ment that search market-ers can’t ignore.Current users in the UK

total 5.3 million predictedto just over 10million usersby the end of this year.South Africa will follow

this trend. Some of Fine &Current agents currentlypresent Fine & Country topotential sellers via their

tablet with an exclusive application.Who can remember when estate agents

booked advertising and it took three days forthe photographs to develop? How the worldhas changed.Visit Fine & Country False Bay at Shop 4,

Late pounce seals Pumas’ victoryLIAM MOSES

MASIPHUMELELE RFC scored a finalminute try to seal victory againstYoung Stars RFC in a Division Two

clash in Noordhoek on Saturday.Thematch was a bruising encounter from

the opening whistle and the intermittentrain meant it descended into a mud wrestleat times.Butwith just seconds to go, a fragile three-

point leadon the scoreboardandStars on theattack,Masi scored the only try of thematchto put the result beyond doubt.Masiphumelele coach Warren Edwards

says the victory was the result of forwardplanning and a well-executed game plan.

“We knew it was going to be wet and rainyconditions. We knew it was going to be aphysical battle up front and we had to focuson that,” says Edwards.“We did a lot of training with ball reten-

tion and rucking. We wanted to make surewe controlled the ball and played the gameat our pace.“We played against tough opposition. We

knew they had a good win against All Saintslast week, so we knew we were in for a biggame.”The wet, muddy conditions in Noordhoek

completely ruled out running rugby for bothsides and heightened the importance set-pieces, well-executed basics and tactical dis-cipline.

While both Masi and Stars were guilty ofbutchering their line-outs and attempting tocounter-attack from deep in their ownhalves, the home side dominated thescrums, committed fewer errors and recy-cled possession well.But despite performing slightly better

than the visitors, Masi struggled to transfertheir dominance to the scoreboard.Scrumhalf Sinethemba Jack opened the

scoring with a penalty in the 30th minute,but Stars flank Elton Blankenberg levelledmatters with the last kick of the half.Jack and Blankenberg traded kicks again

in the fifth and 15th minute of the secondhalf, before the Masi scrumhalf put his sideinto a 9-6 lead with another penalty in the

35th minute.Replacement centre Sean Moncrieff

crossed over in the 40th, but the trywent un-converted and the game finished with Masileading 14-6.The victory was Masi’s eighth in as many

games and has seen them stretch their leadat the top of the table.The narrow loss will be hard to swallow

for Stars,who looked to be finding formaftertheir 17-5 win over All Saints on Saturday1 June.The Green Point based side hold eighth

place on the table, after twodraws, twovicto-ries and four losses.Stars will face Blue Jets on Saturday 15

June, while Masi have a bye.
