EASTER: NO FATAL ACCIDENTS

Quiet weekend for law enforcers JANINE VAN DER RIET Law enforcers had a relatively quiet Easter weekend with no serious incidents and no fatalities reported in the Overstrand area, despite the thousands of cars coming into Hermanus during the weekend.

PAASHAAS EN SY MAATJIES: Checkers Hermanus het Don­ derdag 17 April al die kinders van Hermanus Pre­Primêr met Paaseiers bederf. Baie dankie aan die Paashaas (Luzuko Matan­ zima) en Veronica Badenhorst van Checkers, wat hier saam met juffrou Lorna Such se klassie staan.

The Hermanus Police also had a relatively quiet weekend with only a few incidents, while the Hermanus National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) also attended to a few incidents which included trying to save a small dolphin.

Rudi Fraser, chief of traffic, said they were well prepared and their operational planning was in place at the start of the Easter weekend.

Traffic officers focused on high visibility patrols on all main routes in the Overstrand.

Incoming traffic started picking up on the evening of Thursday 17 April – the highest volume of traffic was experienced between 17:00 and 18:00 with 1 140 vehicles per hour coming into Hermanus.

On Friday 18 April the highest number of vehicles incoming was between 16:00 and 17:00 with 1 140 vehicles per hour.

On Saturday 19 April between 15:00 and 16:00, 2 363 vehicles per hour were incoming and on Sunday 20 April 698 vehicles per hour were counted coming in between 14:00 and 15:00.

On Monday 21 April, the highest count for vehicles leaving Hermanus was between 12:00 and 13:00 with 1 360 vehicles per hour outgo-

On Saturday afternoon, two vehicles collided at the Sandbaai intersection on the R43. It is alleged that the driver of the Mazda bakkie (left on the photo), travelling from Hermanus in the direction of Hawston, collided with a Ford KA that was travelling towards Hermanus from Onrus. Au­ thorities are still investigating the cause of the accident. No serious injuries were reported.

All officers focused on high visibility, blue light patrols, public transport and fatigue management in the Overstrand area.

Three taxis were impounded for violations of the roadworthiness act and had no transport permits.

Speed enforcement was done in the whole of the Overstrand for the duration of the Easter weekend.

Fraser is very pleased that no fatal accidents occurred. Only a few fender benders and minor accidents were reported.

According to Sergeant Mbongeni Mazuthu of the Hermanus Police, four people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol during the Easter weekend.

“SAPS thanks all the road users who were responsible during the Easter weekend,” says Mazuthu.

On Friday the NSRI crew members were contacted to transport a dolphin that had washed up on shore at Grotto beach, to the SA Shark Conservancy on a sea rescue vehicle. Unfortunately this attempt to save its life was unsuccessful and the dolphin sadly died during transportation.

Later on the same day, the NSRI was contacted to assist five people on a rubber-duck, off-shore of Schulphoek, after their boat had sustained motor failure. The NSRI towed the boat to the New Harbour.

On Saturday a sea kayak capsized at Harderbaai in Onrus. A helicopter searched for one of the two men after one man safely swam to shore, but the other man was still missing.

A while later the second man walked to the scene and said he had managed to swim to the shore.

Wish list for foster home makeover KERRY VAN RENSBURG On 8 May all property agents and staff from Keller Williams Realty branches worldwide will stop what they are doing, roll up their sleeves, and get stuck into a community project.

Pat McLoughlin, director and principal at Keller Williams Hermanus, says they have chosen to partner with Hermanus Child Welfare and will give Jubilee Haven, a foster- care home in Hawston, a major revamp.

This community project initiative is called RED, which stands for: renew, energise and donate.

McLoughlin says: “It’s about ploughing something back into our community.”

Rina Louw, manager of Hermanus Child Welfare, says Jubilee Haven is a foster home for children in need of care. She says the Women’s Union from the United Church are involved in the home and support the housemother in her tasks.

A social worker does all the legal work and the therapeutic processes.

McLoughlin says the home needs to be repainted inside and outside, the flooring needs to be replaced, the wiring and electrical fittings need attention, as does the security situation, and some of the furniture needs to be updated.

Although the home was opened by Child

EGG HUNT: Children from Leisure Park in Sandbaai had great fun during the Easter weekend while hunting for Easter eggs in and around the complex.

Egg markers were planted in the grass as clues to where the eggs were hidden.

Marinus Neethling and his sister Nicole, to­ gether with a friend Skye du Preez, each filled their baskets with lots of Easter eggs and goodies they had found.

Welfare in May 2011, the place is showing signs of wear and tear.

McLoughlin says he wants the children who live in the home to see that a better life is possible. “We want to show them we care and we want to give them a positive environment in which to live.”

He says this is a community project and the focus is on Child Welfare. Although 8 May is the key day, their team will get stuck into the refurbishment of the home from Saturday 3 May. The children will be temporarily accommodated elsewhere while the “extreme home makeover” is under way.

McLoughlin says they need input and material from individuals and members of the business community.

So far, Pierre Henning from Electro-Q has offered to see to the home’s electrical needs.

If you can contribute in any way, this is the wish list for the project: Roof paint, interior and exterior paint, paint brushes and supplies, floor tiles, paving, fencing, gates, arm chairs for each bedroom, mirrors, sturdy garden furniture, a washing line, playground equipment, as well as tilers, painters and anyone who wants to be involved in the project.

Call Pat McLoughlin on 082 924 8238 or 028 312 3142, or Leana Kriel on 028 3123 142 if you are able to contribute towards this initiative.

Crime snippets ) Business robbery On Sunday evening 21 April at about 19:30 four men walked into the Mount Pleasant Superette, pretending to be customers.

According to the Hermanus Police, the men, who were carrying firearms and a knife, suddenly demanded money. They took around R10 000 in cash and fled the scene on foot.

No one was injured in this robbery.

No arrests have been made and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Constable Graig Philander on 028 313 7000. ) Sexual assault A 60-year-old man was arrested for the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl on Saturday.

The man walked into the 14-year-old’s shack in Zwelihle and tried to rape her.

She screamed and her mother called the neighbours to help her. The police were called to arrest the suspect. He will appear in court this week.

With Child Protection Month coming up in May, Hermanus Police members said they will not tolerate people who abuse children in any way.

SAPS urge parents to safeguard their children and break the silence in all kinds of abuse inflicted on their children, even if it is done by family members.

HANDOVER OF HOMES: A ceremo­ nial hand over of RDP houses took place in Eluxolweni, Pearly Beach on Tuesday 15 April.

NEW COASTAL DEVELOPMENT: The Fla­ mingo Bay development, within the Mid­ dlevlei Estate, was officially opened re­ cently. Only a limited number of erven are on offer at this exclusive develop­ ment, which is situated inside a 360 hec­ tare Marine Nature Reserve and within a UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere. It is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean and the Botriver Lagoon and overlooks the Kogel­ berg mountain range. With the Overstrand Mayor, Nicolette Botha­Guthrie (second from right), who officiated at the opening ceremony, is the Seeff marketing team: Lin­ da Woolnough, Rion van der Merwe and Corlia Smuts.

NATURE MATTERS: The amazing Cape Floral Kingdom Did you know: The Cape Floral Kingdom is about the same size as Malawi or Portugal. It has more than 8 600 species, and over 5 800 of them are endemic.

They occur only here in our backyard.

On the other hand, the British Isles is 3,5 times the size of the Cape Floral Kingdom but it only has about 1 500 species of which fewer than 20 are endemic.

During the ice ages glaciers wiped the surface veg­ etation clean off these little islands.

Passiespel lok duisende, maar klub se musiek doof spele uit JANINE VAN DER RIET Vrydagaand het die jaarlikse Hermanus-Passiespel vir die 19de agtereenvolgende jaar in die Ou Hawe plaasgevind. Fanus le Roux, regisseur van die Passiespel, sê tussen 3 500 en 4 000 mense het die geleentheid bygewoon en die aand was ’n groot sukses– behalwe vir die laaste halfuur toe Shimmi, ’n klub bokant die Ou Hawe, kliphard musiek gespeel het.

“Dit het veroorsaak dat baie mense niks op die verhoog kon hoor nie. Dit is ’n groot skande!” het Le Roux gesê.

Besoekers aan Hermanus van KwaZulu-Natal wat Vrydag die Passiespel bygewoon het, was ook baie ontsteld oor die klub se oorverdowende musiek wat die opvoering uit-

gedoof het.

“Dis baie jammer dat hierdie besigheid, pleks daarvan om die geleentheid te ondersteun deur vir ’n halfuur die volume af te draai, dit in die wiele gery en vir die honderde toeskouers bederf het,” het Renate Röhrs van KwaZulu-Natal gesê. “’n Dorp wat bekend is as ’n toerismebestemming se mense moet eerder saamwerk as om mekaar so te dwarsboom.”

Lucas Steyn, eienaar van Shimmi sê hy vra om verskoning as hy Vrydagaand ongelukkigheid veroorsaak het.

“Ons was bewus van die Passiespel en het alle respek vir die toneelopvoering. Ons was regtig nie bewus dat ons musiek so hard was dat dit die klank van die Passsiespel beïnvloed het nie. Dit was beslis nie op-

3

setlik nie.”

Le Roux sê behalwe vir dié musiekdemper is hy en sy span baie dankbaar vir almal se ondersteuning en lojaliteit elke jaar. “Dankie aan die munisipaliteit se elektrisiteitsafdeling, so ook almal wat gehelp het om die aand ’n sukses te maak.”

Hulle was baie opgewonde om oudergewoonte die Ou Hawe in ’n verhoog te omskep, sê Le Roux. Drie dae voor Goeie Vrydag word daar ’n stel gebou om Jerusalem, Betanië en Getsémané so na aan die werklikheid te laat lyk as moontlik.

Die kruise waar Jesus – vir die afgelope 18 jaar gespeel deur Reinhardt Singleton – gekruisig word, staan op die hoogste helling met slegs die horison as agtergrond.

Nagenoeg 90 spelers is betrokke by die opvoering, wat in die donkerte afspeel met net ’n volglig op die bepaalde plek waar die toneel afspeel.

Geelbek, die donkie waarop Jesus sit met die intog in Jerusalem, word vanaf Stanford aangery en “vertolk” sy rol al die afgelope 19 jaar.

HEARING PROBLEMS

Free Screening Hearing Test

Fanus le Roux ver­ tolk die rol van Ju­ das Iscariot, en is ook vir die afgelo­ pe 10 jaar die regi­ seur van die toneel­ stuk wat elke jaar op Goeie Vrydag opgevoer word.

Johnny Slamat (links) is al vir vier jaar deel van die Passiespel. Hy speel die rol van Pe­ ter, een van die 12 dissipels, en Dennis de Koker wat die afgelope drie jaar by die spe­ le betrokke is, speel die rol van ’n skrifge­ leerde. Beide mans is van Stanford.

The latest technology offers discreet, comfortable and life-changing solutions to embarrassing hearing problems. This is your invitation to have a professional hearing test and to try out a demo-hearing aid for a trial period, without obligation.

Kansa Relay samel derduisende in om mense te help

Overstrand junior councillors embark on orientation tour Members of the 2014 Overstrand Junior Town Council (OJTC) embarked on the first leg of their orientation tour of the Overstrand’s facilities and infrastructure on Tuesday 8 April.

The tour began at the Waste Transfer Station and Recycling Plant where Johan Van Taak (Overstrand Municipality: manager solid waste management planning) gave a talk on the importance of recycling.

In Kleinmond the group was joined by Cllr Lisel Krige and Denzel Arendse (Over-

strand Municipality: administrator in Kleinmond).

The group visited the Stony Point Penguin Colony where Rulay Oncker gave a presentation, the Harold Porter Botanical Garden where Neville Green spoke about the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, and a new housing development in Kleinmond.

The last stop was the KidsCan After-school Care Centre, where the children sang a welcome song for the OJTC. Toys collected

by Northcliff House College learners were handed over to the KidsCan staff for the

children.

The learners were accompanied by manager Unity Mtomile (OJTC manager), Bulelwa Mbane (Overstrand Municipality: assistant area manager), Julia Gugel and Elisa Furman, both interns from Germany, Noluthando Zweni (Overstrand Municipality: communications officer), and René du Plooy (Overstrand Municipality: secretary mayoral office).

The second leg of the tour is scheduled for Tuesday 13 May and will cover the Gansbaai area.

Kansa is opreg dankbaar vir almal se bydraes tydens die Relay for Life 2014 wat in Maart plaasgevind het.

“Jul meelewing, deelname en finansiële ondersteuning word opreg waardeer,” sê Elnette du Toit van Kansa.

“Almal se betrokkenheid het dit vir Kansa moontlik gemaak om R135 780,73 in te samel.

Weens die feit dat Kansa nie ’n subsidie van die staat ontvang nie, is deurlopende fondswer- wingaksies soos die Relays baie noodsaaklik,” sê Du Toit.

Tydens die afgelope jaar het Kansa 91 pasiënte in die Overstrand bedien, en is 513 mense in die Overstrand bereik deur hul uitreikings en Welweesdae.

“Kansa raak betrokke by die hele gesin en begelei hulle om binne hierdie moeilike omstandighede te groei, hulself te bemagtig met inligting en steeds ’n sin en doel uit die lewe te haal.

Waar nodig word toerusting en hulpmiddels gratis voorsien soos doeke, linensavers, Nutrimill en toerusting soos rolstoele, eierdopmatrasse, commodes, wigkussings en pruike.”

Kansa benut ook geleenthede soos Welweesdae en optredes by skole, werksplekke en verenigings om die publiek in te lig en aan te moedig om ’n gesonde leefstyl te handhaaf om hul risiko vir kanker te verminder.

“Jaarliks word PSA-toetse, bors-, servikale- en sonklinieke georganiseer en hierdie jaar kon Kansa 301 persone met hierdie diens bereik,” voeg Du Toit by.

Kontak Elnette du Toit voor 2 Mei op 028 316 3678 om betrokke te raak.

Om by Relay For Life 2015 asook enige ander projekte betrokke te raak, kontak Maryke Malone by 028 316 3678.

Ex-Hermie achieves great heights A past learner from Hermanus High School is doing her alma mater proud with her exceptional achievements since graduating top of her class in 2002. Sanja Lutzeyer (29) recently met up with Liz Huysamen, who was her grade 5 teacher in 1995.

“She always stood out as a learner who was motivated and academically very strong as well as exceptionally talented in sport,” said Huysamen. “She was a learner at Hermanus High from 1998 to 2002.”

Lutzeyer said that she was exceptionally grateful for the quality education that she received in Hermanus.

She said her years were very memorable and that she felt that Hermanus High encouraged diversity and leadership. She added that the school prepared her very well for her career.

“A comment made by Sanja which struck home for me was that she will always be grateful that she was able to spend her formative high school years living with her parents, the two people who have been her mentors and friends throughout life,” said Huysamen.

After completing Grade 12 and being the top of her class, she decided that after 12 years of school, it was time for a break.

Sanja took a gap year to travel through Europe and do a four-month intensive Spanish language course at the University of Salamanca in Spain.

Sanja says that taking the gap year and learning Spanish was one of the best things she has ever done.

Travelling, she said, expanded her view on life and learning a new language provided access to a new culture, new music and a whole new way of seeing the world.

Upon her return to South Africa, Sanja did a BA PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) at Stellenbosch University (SU).

The combination of the Sanja Lutzeyer three majors taught her to think critically and logically and made her realise that single disciplines provide limited answers to multifaceted world problems.

Once she completed her Honours in Economics at SU, she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to do her doctorate at North Carolina University.

After five years in the US, Sanja graduated with her PhD in Economics in May 2013.

While she knew that she was fully committed to returning to South Africa, her love for languages and cultures led her to do a threemonth stint with her best friend in a small French town called Eymet, where she was able to learn French and enjoy their food and wine.

Sanja was very aware that she had to find a job in which she could interact with people, work on real-life issues and be surrounded by likeminded people.

In December 2013, after a three-month interview process, she received her dream job: a position as a management consultant at McKinsey and Company, where she now works.

“Hermanus High is indeed very proud of Sanja’s incredible achievements and our best wishes accompany her for the future,” said Huysamen.

Library’s Easter draw a resounding success KOMMENTAAR Geduld, mense Mens verstaan die nuuskierigheid van moto­ riste wat hul nekke breek om ‘n ongeluksto­ neel te wil sien – meeste van ons is skuldig daaraan. Dis menslik om nuuskierig te wees.

Wat nie menslik is nie is die ongeduld van sommige motoriste by ‘n ongelukstoneel. Be­ seerdes word nog op die toneel behandel.

Die pad is vol glasstukke en motorolie. Ver­ keersbeamptes en die polisie moet nog aan­ kom. Die toneel is nog chaoties en vars.

Maar daar is motoriste wat hoet en toet en tussendeur al die chaos deur die toneel vleg. Met ongeduld. Dit is wat die geval was by die botsing Saterdag etensuur by die Sandbaai­kruising. Dit was skokkend om te sien. Een wintie­motoris het amper ’n ver­ keersbeampte raakgery in sy haas om te kom waar hy ook al wou wees.

Volgende keer, onthou: Vra jouself af waar jy eerder sou wees op daardie tydstip. Veilig en ongeskonde in jou motor, of opgekrul langs die pad, bebloed en in pyn, met jou hele naweek in sy maai en dalk nog verdere probleme vorentoe.

Geduld, mense. Bel jou familie of vriende om te sê jy gaan laat wees. Wees dankbaar dis nie jy wat in ’n ongeluk betrokke is nie.

Sê vir jouself There, but for the grace of God, go I.

Choir was a treat!

A full house of over 250 fortunate people enjoyed a rare treat on Friday evening, 11 April in the Grobbelaar hall when the Cape Town Male Voice Choir presented a varied and interesting programme singing mostly in fourpart harmony.

This choir, together with a Johannesburg choir, represented South Africa in 2012 at the International Wales Choirs of the World in the Royal Festival Hall. Some of the items of this concert were included on Friday.

The programme began with some wellknown church music, an arrangement of the 23rd Psalm being one of the highlights. The soloist Victor Kasongo had a magnificent voice. Come Colours Arise was written in 1994 with Tutu’s Rainbow Nation as inspiration and it was stirring stuff! A richly deep-voiced bass singer, Thabile Gxwalintloko, sang a sad and moving traditional southern spiritual; and later in the programme sang Ol’ Man River from Showboat, a rendering which was reminiscent of Al Jolson himself.

The pièce de résistance was from Africa South featuring a Highveld storm – the pitter patter of the first rain drops (finger clicking) was soon accompanied by rolling thunder (feet tapping) and increasingly heavy rain, realistically depicted by hand clapping, and then hands-on-thighs clapping. Slowly the thunder softened and the rain reverted first to pitter patter and then eventually dying away. We almost wanted to check if we were wet through!

It was a memorable occasion and the Overstrand Hospice are to be congratulated on bringing this talented choir to Hermanus.

From the excited buzz afterwards, this choir would be welcomed back any day!

BALL OF FIRE ON THE ROLL: Hettie Maree from Sandbaai sent in this photo of a sunrise spectacle taken last week. Her poetic caption reads: ”What it touches, it sets on fire with shades of yellow.”

The librarians and Friends of the Hermanus Library (FOHL) recently held an extremely successful Easter lucky draw, in which the prizes were a cake and baskets of Easter eggs.

Tickets sold at R5 each. Thanks to the generous support of the public, we raised R2 000 which will be spent on new books, dvds, cds and library material.

We are so proud of our library, and the enthusiasm of members enables us to carry on the good work of keeping the shelves stocked with new and requested titles, all of which remain in Hermanus. Thank you so much, everyone.

HETTIE ROUX, CHAIR: FOHL

Lemm’s (sad) corner – a reflection of the pending demise of the heart of Hermanus Should you have seen the plastic banner erected upside down on three gum poles, advertising Lemm’s Corner Craft Market, you may have thought it was April Fool’s Day. But in fact, it was Saturday 22 March, part of the recent Family Day long weekend. And not surprisingly, the town was bustling with visitors.

Although at first glance, signage standing on its head could have been seen as maybe a little quirky, the reality of this farcical incident carries a sinister foreboding of the tragic demise of Lemm’s Corner and its once famous craft market.

In the 1990s, as Hermanus began to grow, so did its craft market which then went on to become a weekly destination for visitors from Cape Town, surrounding areas as well as international tourists. So much so that, as its popularity spread, the colourful mosaic of this market featured in coffee table books advertising a scenic South Africa. Sadly, long gone are those days, when amidst an ambience of joie de vivre, gazebos were erected on Market Square and both local and out-of-town crafters created a diversity of innovative skills to offer the public. Each Saturday a local band entertained the crowds at the Fisherman’s Cottage restaurant.

Today tells a different story. During the week, in good weather, staff from local restaurants and loiterers invariably take up a horizontal siesta on the open ground. When Saturday comes round there is a depressing and sad huddle of a few desperate stall holders who remember with nostalgia the good times when this market was abuzz and packed to capacity with traders and visitors.

The reason for the tragic demise of a once lucrative market can be placed solely on the shoulders of the controlling body, namely the executives of the Old Harbour Trust. Apart from various in-house issues, lack of communication as well as a non-proactive attitude from management created conflict and eventually forced the traders to relocate to successful venues such as the Hermanus Country Market and Hermanus-pietersfontein Boeremark.

Unfortunately, another result of the dismal deterioration of Lemm’s Corner Market has been the detrimental financial effect on the surrounding retail outlets. The many visitors to the once lucrative craft market resulted in a spill over including the town’s charming speciality retail venues and restaurants in their shopping experience.

However, this is certainly not the case today. The current downward marketing trend has been exacerbated by the shift of the CBD to both the Checkers and Woolworths centres situated adjacent to The Marine hotel. And recently, in the same area, yet another development offering commercial space has opened its doors.

These factors add up to a realistic equation

that the old town centre is increasingly in a critical situation. As mentioned, the CBD has a mix of speciality shops and certain factors need to urgently be addressed to preserve these small businesses and to encourage more of an old-world charm to the town.

Should Hermanus lose these shops it is inevitable that in the future they will be replaced by cheapies, franchise outlets and offices which will only discourage tourism to the town and will impact severely on the economy of Hermanus.

Recently, a programme online showed the surreal and dismal images of nine malls in the Midwest of America which have been abandoned due to the downward spiral of the economy. They tell a sinister story of greed and over-development with a lack of insight towards the sensitive and fragile infrastructure of a town.

The following steps are suggested as a survival strategy to be put into effect to prevent the same scenario from happening on our own doorstep: 1. The trustees of the Old Harbour need to appoint management that is pro-active and realistic in their approach to the possibility of negotiating the return of crafters to Lemm’s Corner.

2. The municipality which to date has shown little or no interest in the restoration of the old town urgently needs to appoint a team to investigate and formulate ideas to restore this once popular and lucrative tourist destination.

3. A committee of concerned retailers should be formed to address the immediate problems regarding the deterioration of the CBD. This is especially vital as the Sandbaai shopping mall is a reality and will be built sometime in the future.

4. Shop owners in the CBD need to realise that the outdated attitude of trading hours from Monday to mid-day Saturday is no longer viable especially in view of the fact that tourist resorts such as Kalk Bay and Franschhoek trade extensively throughout the weekend. Visitors to Hermanus arriving on Fridays are disappointed to find that most outlets shut down midday Saturday to only re-open

their doors again on Monday morning, by which time the visitors have left. This regressive and unrealistic retail attitude is questioned again and again by visitors to the town.

5. Landlords of buildings in a once vibrant and sought-after CBD need to take cognisance of the retail shift to the new malls, a sure indication that the dynamics of the old town have changed. These landlords are urgently requested to review their exorbitant monthly rentals and hike increases charged at present. Unless this problem is addressed many speciality shops could be under threat.

6. Harbour Road urgently needs to be reconsidered as a one-way route down to the sea to increase the flow of traffic into this area so that it can spread out into the CBD. Currently this section is not only being bypassed but is confusing to visitors.

7. One of the most important factors for the survival of the CBD is to create an attractive and tourist-friendly town as is seen in many European countries. For one thing, the CBD is devoid of colour. Most buildings are painted in neutral white, beige or grey. Many of these buildings are neglected and their drab exteriors remain unattended to. A landscaper recently described one of the lanes in the CBD as a construction site without maintenance.

A paint chart could make all the difference.

Interleading lanes connecting the town to Marine Drive and others could be painted with seascape/fynbos murals and made more welcoming and user-friendly. Hermanus has a nucleus of talented artists who could enhance the bland and empty canvas of the town with their creativity. Colour creates energy.

8. What about the creation of a park at Lemm’s Corner? What about a beautiful venue of trees and indigenous flower beds under the custodianship of Fernkloof Nature Reserve with a fountain, benches and walkways?

Art in the park and similar events could be held on Sundays.

9. As Hermanus constantly grows so is the heavy traffic increasing. Surely it makes sense to have a vision for the town which includes more tree-lined walkways to create pleasant outdoor accessibility to the shops and restaurants.

Sadly, Lemm’s Corner today reflects the demise of the heart of Hermanus and these proposed suggestions should be given urgent attention and put into effect as soon as possible.

It is important to note that in the 1980s Lemm’s Corner was purchased by means of public money, municipal and government funds and the land was intended to be a venue for the residents of the town and to become a vibrant centre.

As it stands today, Lemm’s Corner has become a desolate and deserted area and is of no benefit to Hermanus.

Oh yes, and not forgetting the civilian lady in the centre of the road also indicating that vehicles from the opposite side could proceed.

During this transitional period from summer to winter there is a tug of war between the south/east and north/west winds that will bring cold and rain (about 4 mm) on Friday evening.

By Saturday afternoon the sun will be out again but the temperature only reaches 16 °C, followed by a max of 12 °C on Sunday.

Leen asb vir ons die handfiets vir ons resies Beste Tiaan, baie geluk met jou goue medaljes met jou vinnig nuwe fiets. Ons vra dat jy asb die ou rooi fietsie wat die mense van Hermanus vir jou gekoop het vir ons sal leen. Die manne van Hawston wil graag weer in Hermanus rystoelresies ry op 10 Mei en het nie ’n handfiets nie. Een van ons manne het verlede jaar so fantasties gery.

11

Jy het twee fietse en ons vra om die ou fietsie te leen asb. Ons oefen nou van hierdie week af. Jy het mos in die koerant gesê dat jy dit sal skenk aan iemand wat dit nodig het.

Kan iemand dalk vir Euodia fietswinkel ’n geldjie gee vir nuwe bande as ons die fiets kan gebruik vir die resies. Baie dankie.

HAWSTON FANS

Thanks to all who made Night Shelter event a success On behalf of the Hermanus Night Shelter Association, I wish to express my appreciation to all who assisted in making our first fundraising event the success it was.

The hosts and hostesses, who were so committed to filling their tables with guests, were an integral part of the success of the evening.

Thank you all those who participated in the evening’s programme: Kevin Abbot (the “Caller’”), the Hermanus Dance Studio, Edian Barnard and David Shreeve, a guest who turned auctioneer.

Last, but most certainly not least, our generous sponsors: Spookfontein, Whalehaven, Hermanuspietersfontein, Bouchard Finlayson, La Vierge and Newton Johnson for donating excellent wines for auctioning. We were also privileged to auction a pair of magnificent earrings donated by Geta Finlayson.

This may well become an annual event on the social calendar of our wonderful town.

LINDA DANEEL SECRETARY, HERMANUS NIGHT SHELTER ASSOCIATION

Duisende spinnekoppe woeker aan soutpan-webbe Die uitgebreide webbe wat Chané Payne aan die oewer van die Vermont-soutpan gefotografeer het (HT 14 Apr 2014) word deur duisende spinnekoppe gebou, veral die talle roesrooi langlyf-, langbeenspinnekoppe wat rondloop of in die middel van ’n web sit. Daar is ook ander spinnekopspesies, waterjuffers (damsel flies), en hottentotsgotte (praying mantis). Om hulle almal aan die lewe te hou, vereis ’n goeie voedselbron.

Dr. Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman (Landbou-navorsingsraad) het die roesrooi spinnekoppe ge-

ïdentifiseer as lede van die familie Tetragnathidae, moontlik Tetragnatha sp. (langkaak-waterspinnekop).

Hierdie familie het goed ontwikkelde kake (cheliseras) met sterk tande, agt oë en ’n verlengde abdomen. Interessant is dat al die eksemplare wat gefotografeer is, mannetjies is.

Die spinnekoppe is predatore en vreet muskiete, muggies en ander spinnekoppe.

Wat ’n wonderlike ekologiese sisteem is onse pan nie.

Die Tegragnatha­spin­ nekop, in Engels be­ kend as die long­ jawed water spider.

Oostewind begin stoot Die bolug wat oor die Overberg-gebied hang, gedra hom goed vir hierdie tyd van die jaar, so tussen die oorgang van somer- na winterreëns. Die wind staan die afgelope paar dae pal op suid/suidoos tussen 19 en 35 km/h. Dit peper ons met ’n 14,5 °C bries.

Maar, vir dié wat wonder, so 3 km bokant ons kop is die wind saans maar weer sy ou self die maltrap wat tussen 2 en 3 in die oggend so te kere gaan. Vanoggend is hy weer terug op die grond maar steeds baie sterk op 36 km/h.

Die algemene prentjie daar bo is stabiliteit want die Atlantiese hoogdruk is duidelik nog in beheer van die algemene weerpatroon. Dit is ’n klomp koue wat uit die suide gekom het en weer

by Gough weggedruk word, maar in die proses was daar sommer baie goeie konveksie wat met al die warm weer in die laaste tyd ook baie vog uit die see opgeneem het.

Die meeste van die water sal oor die Suid-Kaap terug val, maar dit lyk of die Overstrand die verwagte driedagreën vrygespring het.

Langfaan sê watwo! Ons moet onthou die Overstrand is op die grens tussen die somer en winter reënvaltyd (én gebied) en as die isobaar van die Atlantiese hoogdruk nader aan Mosselbaai indraai land toe, kan enige iets voor die naweek gebeur.

Die glas is aan die styg en dit lyk of die ooste-

wind ook bietjie sterker begin stoot. Dit is net vir vanmiddag, want vanaand druk die suidewind weer in. Lesers wat dan wakker is moet dit sien as ’n oorskakeling, want die noordwes steek na middernag sterk op met vog wat hy die hele pad vanaf die noordweskus bring.

Teen Vrydagaand sak ’n reëntjie van agtuur tot Saterdagoggend uit met ’n goeie 4 mm.

Saterdagmiddag is die son spesiaal vir ’n bietjie pret agter die wolke uit, maar ons sal voel hoe die luggie weer 16 °C word.

Sondag word dit ’n toutrekkery tussen die oostewind en die westewind, maar mense moet maar warm aantrek. Dit gaan 12 °C daar op die kerkbanke en in die koffiewinkels word.

Die koue weer bly aan en af irriterend tot Maandag se namiddag wanneer die son weer warm deurbreek en 20 °C verskaf. Maar hier kom oom Langfaan se voorspelling in: Die tweede front is in die noordweste op die horison en dit kan nie anders nie; dit reën so 3 mm tot daai volgende Woensdag toe.

Statistics reveal shocking levels of pollution. Where is the estuary management plan?

While discussing the Hermanus Lagoon recently, a remark was made, that in 25 years’ time the estuary will be a large vlei, with the Klein River meandering through it, choked with reeds, algae, and foul smells.

We may come to regret the day we laughed and dismissed this sad ironic joke, because we did nothing to stem the tide of the estuary’s decay, now being supercharged by sewage effluent and nitrate/phosphate run off, due to archaic and outdated planning, building and farming practices.

Studies have shown that there are approximately 255 functional estuaries in South Africa; the Klein River estuary is known to be the 5th most ecologically important.

On 23 November 2007 a report was published by Dr Victor Hamilton-Attwell titled: Sewage Pollution in the Klein River – from the bridge (R43) on the Klein River at Stanford up to Scout Camp (Hermanus). A summary reads: “The most important source of pollution are the septic systems along the shore.

All indications are that human impact and especially sewage management, must be targeted as the biggest pollution source. Along the estuary it has been ascertained that conservancy tanks are seldom pumped and that grey water is dumped in soak-aways and at some stands, all sewage is dumped directly into a soak-away.”

In January I managed to obtain, with great difficulty, and only through the Access to Information Act, the municipal water sampling records for the estuary, Grotto beach and the Klein River. These records were previously published on the Overstrand Estuaries website until March 2013. The site was discontinued and no results have been published since then. We wonder why?

In December 2013 the municipality sampled the estuary, in its customary bi-monthly water sampling program, in order to determine the level of intestinal enterococci, one of the bacterial indicator organisms used to determine faecal pollution.

The following figures were recorded at the sample points in the Klein River estuary: Scout Camp: 1 940 cfu/per 100 ml Prawn Flats: 3 100 cfu/per 100 ml Hermanus Yacht Club: 5 200 cfu/per 100 ml Stanford (Kings Street) 1 100 cfu/per 100 ml The last flood (1:50 year) occurred on 16 November 2013. These water sample readings were taken on 12 and 19 December 2013, a significant lapse of time between the flood and sampling, indicating how the flood conditions affect the pollution levels.

The SA Water Guideline for Recreational Water (2009) states a level in excess of 185 cfu/ per 100 ml as poor (unacceptable) with a gastro-intestinal (GI) health risk index of 8.5%.

The above water samples average well over 1 000 % higher risk factor compared to the official health hazard levels, and in the case of the Hermanus Yacht Club, an unbelievable 2 500 % higher on those specific days.

The Blue Flag registered Grotto beach had a reading of 1 733 cfu/per 100 ml on 28 November, and in the storm water stream alongside Dutchies on 23 January an unbelievable 2 419cfu/per 100 ml was recorded flowing onto Grotto beach, confirming the theses that some have expressed that sewage contamination will threaten the Blue Flag status of Grotto beach.

It is understood that the flood conditions affected not only the flooding of septic tanks, but runoff from the land and increasing underground biofilm seepage (originally formed by leaking septic tanks) all contributing to the exceptionally high readings.

Between 2010 and 2012 (three years after the Hamilton-Attwell report was published) an audit was conducted amongst a group of property owners on the Klein River Estuary (Hermanus Lagoon). Of those participating it was found that 80% of the tanks inspected were found to be faulty and beyond repair in many instances, furthermore many of these tanks and their soak-aways were found a few meters from the high water levels and a large number

below these levels. Regardless of the efforts to renovate the septic tanks, sewage pollution continues to rise and any discussion of the owners converting to conservancy tanks was avoided.

Estuary water levels are defined as levels above mean sea level (msl) and it is said that the estuary should breach naturally at 3 m above msl, furthermore that the official set back line for properties should be 5m above msl (or in the case of the Coastal Protection Zone 100 m, to be managed, regulated and restricted). In your dreams, none of this occurs, nor has it ever been implemented!

Of further interest, the high water mark is now pegged at 2.6 msl, thanks to the expedient lobbying of home owners who have built too close to the high water level and suffer inundation whenever the estuary rises to the level it should and could rise. There are over 100 houses built below the 5m msl and the 1:50 year flood line on the river.

Stanford alone has 65 properties found below the 50 year flood line and it may well be asked if the developers and town planners who passed this very irregular, ill conceived development (on zoned agricultural land) will now pay for the water-born sewage installations that are presently being installed. Another of the many costly lessons of town planning gone wrong, for both the tax payers and the environment.

Where will the leadership be found to put into place an estuary management plan (20 years on the drawing boards) that has regulatory clout and consequence that will effectively manage, intervene and rehabilitate the estuary (and river catchment) ecosystems?

JOHN WILLIAMS

Liezl Bezuidenhout, Senior Manager: Environmental Services, responds: One cannot deny that the Klein River estuary has environmental problems which are partly caused by riparian developments that took place in the early days when people were not as knowledgeable about environmental im-

pacts as they are today. One of these problems is indeed faecal pollution, as indicated by the high readings for intestinal enterococci.

It is important, however, to remember that both intestinal enterococci and E. coli occur in the faecies of all warm-blooded animals, which means that the high readings in the estuary cannot be attributed purely to human waste, although the latter is part of the problem. Estuaries, especially when they are closed off from the sea, are the collection points for everything that flows from the catchment, including the runoff from farms and towns (e.g. storm water pipes).

Water resources in the Overstrand are managed by the Breede-Overberg Catchment Management Agency (BOCMA) based in Worcester.

They are also responsible for water quality monitoring in order to establish compliance with the National Water Act 36 of 1998. The water quality samples that are collected twice a month by the Overstrand Municipality (OM) is a BOCMA funded project, and the municipality’s role is purely to collect the samples for BOCMA. Environmental health is not a function of the OM, but of the Overberg District Municipality (ODM) which has offices in Hermanus and Kleinmond.

The water quality results have previously been made available on the Overstrand Estuaries website (a private website), but the municipality has not been allowed to use it since the middle of last year. Efforts to start our own estuaries website have failed due to financial constraints, but BOCMA is presently looking into the possibility of placing the results on their own website (www.bocma.co.za).

We find it hard to believe that the person who wrote the letter had to resort to the Access to Information Act to obtain the water quality results. They have been available at BOCMA and at the Environmental Management Section (EMS) of the municipality since August 2013 when BOCMA started a new bi-monthly programme (the previous one was every three weeks).

Eat your way to better health In his latest book Good Medicine, acclaimed nutritional expert Patrick Holford says it is not a lack of drugs but rather the lack of good nutrition that causes chronic diseases.

“Your pain, cancer, indigestion, anxiety, insomnia, asthma, eczema, angina, sinus problems, high blood pressure or whatever else it is you suffer from, is not caused by a lack of drugs but rather the food and lifestyle choices you have made in the past,” says Holford.

He claims that the majority of health conditions can be attributed to “too much of the bad stuff and not enough of the good”.

“We are literally digging our own graves with a knife and fork.

The cause of the big five diseases – cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and Alzheimer’s – is down to the food we eat, what we drink, smoking, stress and a lack of exercise.”

Holford examines why we get sick in the first place and explains the root causes and how and why the natural approach makes sense.

He suggests which foods and extra nutrients are the most beneficial in this comprehensive resource of what really works for the most common health problems.

Sy het meer as 150 boeke geïllustreer (vir skrywers soos Elsa Joubert, Audrey Blignaut en Philip de Vos) maar deesdae skets sy op die ingewing van die oomblik en wy haarself toe aan “groter” kuns.

Cora was die gasspreker by die Hermanus Leeskring se samekoms Dinsdagoggend. Om haar in die sitkamer vandieSandbaaiCountryCottageisvanhaarnuwer“groter” werke uitgestal, meestal houtskoolsketse. Johnny Cash is duidelik herkenbaar op een.

“Ds. James Grey van die United Church het eendag verwys na ’n liedjie van Cash op YouTube. Ek het dit oor en oor gekyk. En vandaar het die inspirasie gekom om hom te skets, met sy gesig effe vertrek ná sy beroerte.”

Ander kere is dit ’n foto in ’n koerant wat inspireer of bloot net die prag van die Overstrand. “Dit word al hoe meer opwindend. Ek werk nou vry. Ek vat ’n stuk wit papier en dinge gebeur. Soms werk dit, ander kere is dit ’n flop en dan begin ek weer.”

Cora is ’n gebore en getoë Stellenbosser en was een van die eerste kunsstudente by Maties. Sy vertel hoe dissipline haar gevorm het. “Daar is nie kreatiwiteit sonder dissipline nie.” Of dit nou was om ’n skulp 900 keer oor te teken om die vorm en groewe 100% reg te kry, of die halfuur van oefeninge voor hul kunsklas op Maties begin het.

Die verwysing na hierdie soort dissipline vat ’n draai na kinders en inkleurboeke. “Is dit reg of verkeerd om ’n kind te dwing om binne die lyne van die prentjie in te kleur?” word sy gevra. Cora, self ouma, se raad is: “Gee die kind ’n opsie. Hou in een hand ’n inkleurboek en in die ander ’n stuk wit papier en vra die kind watter een verkies hy.”

Cora is nog steeds mal oor cartoons doen, maar net per geleentheid. Hierdie “Veels geluk, liewe maatjie, omdat jy verjaar”­skets het sy vir vriendin Linda Zaai­ man gedoen.

FOTO’S: CILENE BEKKER Cora het sewe jaar gelede na die Overstrand verhuis en sê Hermanus is ’n salf vir haar. “Ek kan maak nes ek wil. Ek teken die see, berge, wolke. Die mense sê mos Hermanus is die voorportaal van die hemel.’’

WILLIE BOTHA SCULPTURE GALLERY: The Willie Botha Sculpture gallery opened its doors in June 2013 at 171 Main Road, Hermanus. The gallery forms a part of the Hermanus Art Amble. This follows the in­ ternational trend to have concentrated are­ as in cities and towns dedicated to the vis­ ual arts where art lovers can casually stroll from gallery to gallery. People also like to see the artists in action or at least meet the artists whose work they are buying. That is why Willie Botha decided to use part of his gallery to work on smaller pieces where the public can learn more about sculpting as well as the bronze casting process. You can visit the gallery to view their fantastic collection of works by old master painters such as Jan Dingemans, Frans Claerhout, Piet van Heerden, Hennie Niemann, G.W. Pilkington, Chris Tugwell, Alfred Krentz, Di­ no Paravano, Trechikoff, Gregoire Boonza­ ier and Majory Wallace among others with works of Pieter Vermaak and Angela Keys.

LEMBU GALLERY: Lembu Gallery is the home studio of artist Ed Bredenkamp, best known for his dramatic and vivid red ele­ phant paintings and other wildlife studies.

During FynArts, Lembu will stage an exhibi­ tion entitled ‘Portrayals’ which will feature the work of both Ed and Elsie Macdonald, the Knysna­based surrealist artist, a few of whose beautiful and whimsical paintings are currently on show in the gallery. Lembu has also just unveiled a new collection of hand­ crafted, hand­painted glassware from talen­ ted glass artists Ronel Basson and Janette Anderson. Each piece of glass is individually hand painted before being fused and slum­ ped in a high temperature kiln. It’s a slow and meticulous process and each item is uni­ que. A new range of jewellery has also re­ cently been released featuring fiery red co­ rals and dazzling black and green agates.

JENNY JACKSON’S GALLERY 19: Jenny Jackson was a “late bloomer” who only star­ ted painting when she was in her sixties. Her first solo exhibition was hosted at the Rossouw Modern in 2012 and her gallery attached to her home/studio in High Street opened in De­ cember last year. This restored fisherman’s cot­ tage is filled with light and reflects Jenny’s boundless energy and delight in her work. Her unique technique of using a palette knife to apply thick strokes of paint to canvass re­ minds one of weathered walls with peeling paint. The paintings, ranging from still lives to portraits, are rounded off with finer touches of charcoal.

ABALONE GALLERY: Abalone Gallery is showcasing the exhibition ‘Reflections’ with work by four prominent female artists: Alta Botha, Lien Botha, Pippa Skotnes and Lynette ten Krooden.

Alta is exhibiting her ‘Universe’ series, which she completed before she started her studies for the MFA degree at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in Cape Town, which she has just obtained with distinction. ‘Odd Objects’ (2008) – her solo exhibition – was highly appreciated by art collectors and friends of the Abalone Gallery. Lien Botha, whose work is an integral part at Abalone Gallery exhi­ bitions, is showing some of her narrative photography, the ‘Amendment’ series. Pic­ tured is Amendment 3: The case of going Dutch in the desert. Her solo exhibition ‘An­ thology’ was hosted by Abalone Gallery in 2009. Her tenth solo exhibition ‘Yonder’ is presently on view at the Barnard Gallery in Cape Town. The critic and author Amanda Botha referred to it as “‘n hoogtepunt in Lien Botha se reeds bewese kunstenaarskap”.

Numbered and signed limited edition cata­ logues are available at Abalone Gallery. Pip­ pa Skotnes, daughter of late icon in the arts, Cecil Skotnes, and professor at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in Cape Town, is repre­ sented with two very special etchings from the 1980s, which are collector’s pieces. Or­ trud Mulder has shown many series of Sko­ tnes’s works at museums and institutions overseas before she relocated to Hermanus.

Lynette ten Krooden, a Pretoria­based artist, has some of her smaller works on show, re­ flecting her research on the old trade routes from Petra in Jordan to Kimberley. Her most recent solo exhibition, ‘African Mysteries’ in September last year, was accompanied by a presentation of her career as artist and re­ searcher over thirty years.

Suzuki se nuwe Swift bied nou nog meer waarde CHRIS DE WIT Met die herbekendstelling en aanslag van Suzuki op die SuidAfrikaanse motormark in 2008, het Suzuki se Swift-model aan die voorpunt hiervan gestaan. Met die aankoms van die eerste nuwe modelle hier te lande kon die maatskappy alreeds spog met 63 Motor van die Jaar-toekennings in 19 lande wêreldwyd, onder andere in lande soos Indië, Ysland, Australië, Ierland, Uruguay en Japan. In die Junior Wêreld Rally Kampioenskappe het die Swift gewoonlik ook onder die eerstes klaargemaak en in 2007 is die wêreldtitel in hierdie resiesklas verower.

Geen wonder dus dat Suzuki as’t ware die Swift beskou het as sy troefkaart om ’n kleim af te steek in die pryssensitiewe kompakte motorsektor, wat besig was om vinnig binne die passasiersmotormark te groei. Met sy sportiewe en gesofistikeerde voorkoms vir ’n luikrugmotor was dit dan ook geen verrassing nie dat die Swift ’n uiters gewilde mededinger in sy klas geword het.

Binne die eerste maand van verkope het hierdie gewilde nuwe model ’n indrukwekkende 132 eenhede verkoop, wat sy eerste jaar met ’n ses maande sluitingstotaal van 1 281 eenhede afgesluit het. Ten spyte van stram ekonomiese omstandighede en ’n moeilike tydperk vir die motormark, het die Swift steeds ’n styging in aanvraag ervaar.

Suzuki se gewilde Swift-luikrugmotor, wat in 2011 bekendgestel is,

Wat die buitevoorkoms van die 2014 Swift betref is die splinternuwe sierrooster en die herontwerpte voorste buffer miskien die opvallendste.

FOTO: QUICKPIC het pas ’n aantal verbeteringe vir die 2014-modeljaar ondergaan. Die meerderheid veranderinge is op ’n varser voorkoms gerig, maar die lys standaardtoerusting is ook aangepas, wat meebring dat die Swift GL en die GLS, wat ook die toetsmotor was, nou nog selfs meer waarde vir geld bied. In die knellende greep van voortdurende verhogings in brandstofpryse is die uiters ekonomiese brandstofverbruik van die Swift werklik ’n koel briesie vir motoriste In die binneruim toon die Swift ’n deftiger, moderner en meer gesofistikeerde voorkoms met Bluetoothkoppeling wat een van die GLS se standaardkenmerke is. Hierdie gevorderde tegnologie bied aan die insittendes nie net alleen koppelinge van selfone en draadlose met die mo-

tor se klankstelsel nie, maar kan musiek vanaf slimfone en Bluetoothtoegeruste toestelle ook deur die klankstelsel herlei word. Die beheer vantogsnelheidvanafdiemeerfunksie-stuurwiel deur middel van kontroles is nog ’n standaardkenmerk wat veral byval behoort te vind by die jonger geslag. Aan boord van die GLS word die bestuurder verwelkom deur leersitplekke, ’n driespeek stuurwiel met leeromhulsel, met hoogte- en reikafstand-verstelling en sleutellose sluit- en aansit/afsit funksie deur middel van ’n drukknop. Binne-gemak word ondersteun deur outomatiese temperatuurkontrole. Verder is die GLS met nie minder as ses lugsakke toegerus om veiligheid van veral voorste insittendes te verseker.

Verdere kenmerke sluit ook elektries-verstelbare buitespieëls, hoogteverstelling vir die bestuurdersitplek, en ’n meerfunksie-ritrekenaar in wat inligting soos die buitetemperatuur, brandstofverbruik en reikafstand vertoon.

Wat die buitevoorkoms van die 2014 Swift betref is die splinternuwe sierrooster en die herontwerpte voorste buffer miskien die opvallendste. Die GLS-model word ook voortaan met LED-dagryligte toegerus, terwyl die derde hooggeplaaste remlig ook van ’n helderder LEDeenheid gebruik maak. Voor rond misligte die verbeterde ligtegroep se verbeterde funksionaliteit af. Die GLS word van die GL onderskei deur sy opvallende multi-speek 16 dm allooi-wiele en ’n vergrootte

naafdeursnit van R16 met ’n gevolglike verlaagde bandprofiel. Dit gee aandieGLSnienet’ngroter,sportiewer voorkoms nie, maar verbeter ook die hanterings- en padhouvermoë.

Wat die aandryfstelsel betref maak die 2014 Swift-reeks steeds van dieselfde doeltreffende, brandstofingespuite viersilinder-kragbron gebruik. Die sogenaamde K14B-eenheid se maksimum-kraglewering beloop 70 kW by 6 000 r/min, met ’n gepaardgaande wringkragpiek van 130 Nm by 4 000 r/min. Uiters ekonomiese brandstofverbruik bly ’n uitstaande kenmerk van die hele Swiftreeks. Die vyfgang-handratweergawes behaal ’n verbruiksyfer van net 5,5 F/100 km in die gekombineerde siklus, met ’n gepaardgaande CO2uitlaatgasvlak van 132 g/km.

Die model wat toetsbestuur is was die uitmuntende, ekonomiese en bekostigbare GLS-model, maar drie verdere modelle is beskikbaar en pryse is as volg: 2014 Swift 1.4 GL-handrat R165 900 2014 Swift 1.4 GLS-handrat R186 900 2014 Swift 1.4 GLS Outomaties R201 900 2014 Swift 1.6 Sport R223 900 Die pryse sluit metaalverf in, asook die Suzuki Complete-pakket, wat alle fasette van naverkope-diens behels. Die Suzuki Swift-reeks word deur ’n omvattende waarborg van drie jaar/100 000 km gedek, asook roesweerdekkingvansesjaar.Boonop is ’n diensplan van drie jaar/ 60 000 km ook standaard, tesame met ’n AA-bystandsplan van drie jaar.

Hyundai Accent hatchback: more reason to HANJO STIER

By now, Hyundai’s success story is well documented and the Korean manufacturer has carefully crafted its tracks in the local motor industry. With over 50 000 units sold last year, Hyundai’s S.A. division ranks 13th worldwide and has helped the global brand rise from 6th to 5th position for car makers.

Keen to increase their footprint on local soil even more, Hyundai just launched an Accent hatchback, to slot in between the successful i20 and i30 models. Previously only available as a small sedan, the new sloping-back Accent retains its donor’s 2 570 mm wheelbase, 1,7 m

width and 1 457 mm height.

The sedan’s 389 litre boot is almost matched by the hatchback’s 370 litres and most journalists at the car’s recent launch adjudged its exterior styling as agreeable, with a hint of i30 at the back. The front and most of its sides are exact duplicates of the sedan, while a small roof spoiler accents this newcomer.

(See what I have done here?)

Hyundai’s “Fluidic Sculpture” design language is also strong with this one, a hexagonal grill and snazzy fog lights define its front end, followed by stylish creases down the sides that neatly integrate with the rear bumper and lights. The steeply-rising window line merges beautifully with a small rear windscreen.

The Accent’s cabin layout is modern and stylish with shiny trim pieces and blue screens off­ setting the black surfaces.

PHOTO: QUICKPIC Rear visibility is rather limited, but Hyundai thankfully provides rear park-assist as standard.

The adjustable multi-function steering wheel has buttons for most functions of the six-speaker sound system with its radio, CD, USB, ipod, Aux, USB and Bluetooth inputs.

Up to five adults will find space in stylish cloth seats and most Hyundai dealers will sell you some leather surfaces for about R8 000.

The cabin layout is modern and stylish, with shiny trim pieces and blue screens offsetting the black surfaces. All materials have a quality feel and interesting textures while everything feels sturdy and taut – on our longish aunch route we didn’t hear any squeaks or rattles from our Accent hatchback.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre in-line four cylinder petrol engine with a choice of six-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox.

Peak power outputs are 91kW (124bhp) or 156Nm, resulting in a 0-100km/h sprint of 10,2 seconds (11’4 for automatic). Top speeds are 190 and 184km/h.

Average fuel consumption is 6,4 or 6.8F/100km and CO2 emissions just 152 or 161g/km. All Accent hatchbacks have a 43F petrol tank, 5.2m turning radius, full size spare wheel, and a suspension made up of McPherson struts up front and a coupled torsion beam at the back.

Our overall impression from various routes at the car’s launch was very satisfactory. Steering and pedal feel are light and easy, as is the operation of that six-speed gearbox.

Although most cars only had delivery mileage showing, we found the 1.6 engine to be willing and smooth at all but very high speeds.

Prices are R234 900 for the manual and R10 000 more for an automatic. It’s available in one of seven colours and comes with Hyundai’s 5-year/150 000km warranty and 5year/90 000km service plan. And by slotting in between two other popular Hyundai hatches, it gives you another reason to consider this brand.

Bredasdorp: Waar inheems en uitheems hande vat!

ORA LAUBSCHER ’n Uitstalling van draadpoppe uitgevat in tradisionele Afrikadrag gemaak van wat algemeen bekend staan as bedrukte Isishweshwe-katoenmateriaal, kan vir die volgende paar maande in die Skeepswrakmuseum op Bredasdorp besigtig word.

Dit vorm deel van ’n reeks reisende uitstallings wat tussen museums in die provinsie reis.

Volgens ’n woordvoerder van die museum is die Isishweshwemateriaal, wat algemeen as tradisioneel “van Afrika” en in besonder as deel van die kultuur van die inheemse swart vroue bemark word, interessant genoeg eintlik deel van ons Europese erfenis wat op Afrika-bodem ’n eie Afrika-identiteit aangeneem het. Dit kan dus eintlik as “oorgeplante kultuurgoed” beskryf word.

Die voorloper van die tradisionele blou of “Indigo” gedrukte Isishweshwe-katoenlap, is in die

17e en die 18e eeu in tekstielfabrieke in Hongarye en TjeggoSlowakye vervaardig. Dit was tegelyk mooi, duursaam en prakties. In die 1940’s het Franse sendelinge van hierdie lap aan Koning Moshoeshoe gegee – vandaar die naam Shoeshoe of Isishweshwe. Duitse setlaars wat hulleself in die 1858’s in die OosKaap gevestig het, het ook ’n besondere voorliefde vir hierdie lap, wat in hulle land van herkoms as “blaudruck” bekend gestaan het, gehad.

Benefits of chess highlighted in Moves for Life tournament Some 130 learners from schools in the Overberg recently participated in a chess tournament sponsored by The Caledon Casino, Hotel & Spa and arranged in partnership with Overberg Chess as part of Tsogo Sun’s SunCares initiative, Moves for Life.

Moves for Life uses the sport of chess as a catalyst for education in the crucial areas of maths, science and literacy. Over the next three years, Tsogo Sun will invest more than R10 million in the national school chess programme.

Nationally, more than 400 teachers have been trained as facilitators in the programme and by the end of the year about 15 000 children will

be on their way to grasping the wonders of chess.

The Overberg schools that are part of the Moves for Life MiniChess Programme include Grabouw High, Groenberg Secondary, Vyeboom Primary, De Villiers Graaf High, Overberg High, Swartberg Primary and Secondary, Bredasdorp High and Primary, Curro Hermanus, Swellendam High and Primary, Northcliff House College, Kleinmond Primary, Gansbaai Primary, Hermanus High and Primary, De Bron Primary and Hawston Primary.

Overberg Chess, which is the official partner for the programme locally, will help coordinate the initiative. There will be a series of tourna-

ments held during the course of the year, in addition to coaching the coaches sessions.

Tsogo Sun’s Group CSI Manager, Shanda Paine says: “Chess is listed among the government’s top 16 priority sporting codes for inclusion at school level and the educational development through chess then aligns strongly with sport and education.

“Chess also has the well-earned reputation of contributing significantly to different skill-sets within a child’s development. There is much research to back up claims that chess improves concentration, develops logical thinking, analytical and decision-making skills and abstract thinking, among others.”
