Drie geskiet in Hawston
JANINE VAN DER RIET
Drie verskillende voorvalle van geweld, dwelmhandel, perlemoenstropery en roekelose en nalatige bestuur het lede van die Hermanus-polisie baie besig gehou in Hawston die afgelope week. Inwoners van Hawston het verlede Woensdagaand in een voorval ’n lid van die K9-polisie honde-eenheid omsingel en by wyse van woorde oorlog verklaar. Die insident het om ongeveer 20:00 gebeur toe die K9-lid ’n verdag-
te motor van die pad in Voëlklip wou aftrek. Volgens die polisie het die verdagte bestuurder probeer wegjaag en in Hawston sy motor gerol. Die verdagte het onmiddellik te voet gevlug. Die K9-lid, ao. Steven Koen, wat alleen ten tyde van die voorval vir bystand van ander lede gewag het, het die motor deursoek en op perlemoen afgekom. Lede van die gemeenskap het om hom begin saamdrom en oproerig begin raak en Koen het hom toe uit die voete gemaak nadat hy waarskuwingskote afgevuur het. Toe Koen en sy kollegas later die
aand terugkeer, was die motor en die perlemoen weg. Niemand is in die voorval beseer nie. ’n Paar uur later, dieselfde aand om ongeveer 22:45, het die Hermanus-polisie op ’n skiet-insident reageer en hulle na Hawston gehaas. Op die toneel het die polisie mense gewaar wat om ’n Audi A4 motor op ’n oop veld langs die R43 in George Viljoenstraat staan, en by nadere ondersoek gesien dat drie mans ernstige skietwonde opgedoen het. Een beseerde het voor in die motor gesit en die ander twee beseerdes was buite die motor. Volgens ’n polisieverklaring het
twee verdagtes op die drie mans losgebrand terwyl hulle in die motor gesit het. Die gewondes is na die Hermanus provinsiale hospitaal vervoer, waarna een van die mans dadelik na Tygerberg-hospitaal oorgeplaas is weens die erns van die skietwonde wat hy opgedoen het. Die rede vir die skietvoorval is nog onbekend en die polisie ondersoek ’n saak van poging tot moord. Niemand is nog in hegtenis geneem nie. In die derde insident, Vrydagoggend in Hawston, is agt mense in hegtenis geneem ná die polisie ’n huis deursoek en op dwelms afge-

kom het. Lede van die Hermanus-polisie, die Overberg K9-honde-eenheid en Boland Public Order Policing (POP) het ’n visenteringslasbrief verkry en die huis in Linfordweg deursoek. Die lede het 27 heel mandraxtablette, 12 halwe mandraxtablette, 30 klein sakkies tik, ses tikstrooitjies en Crack kokaïne met ’n onbekende straatwaarde gekonfiskeer. Die polisie het ook op kontant en ammunisie beslag gelê. Sewe mans tussen die ouderdomme van 14 en 30 jaar asook ’n 27-jarige vrou is in verband met die voorval in hegtenis geneem.

Bettysbaai oorval deur vlammehel ’n Span van 85 brandbestryders en 24 brandweerwaens is inge span om die brand wat verlede Woensdagaand ontstaan het, te blus. Die brandspanne het vir 13 uur lank gespook om dit onder beheer te bring. FOTO: JP KRUGER
Twee huise is in puin gelê en 19 strukture is beska dig. Daar was geen lewensverlies nie, maar brandweer manne is vir rookin aseming behandel.

ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN “Ek het na my huis gekyk en besef dis dalk die laaste keer wat ek dit sien.” Só verwoord Wells Julien sy gewaarwording toe hy inderhaas moes ontruim met verlede Woensdagnag se verwoestende brand in Bettysbaai. “My buurman het agtuur die aand kom aanklop en ons het die brand dopgehou, maar dit het nie gelyk of dit enigsins in ons rigting beweeg nie. Ek het toe gaan slaap. “Hier by half-twee Donderdagoggend het hy my weer wakker geklop. Die vuur was reg agter my huis, ’n muur van vlamme. Ek het deur die huis gegaan en my skootrekenaar, klere en dokumente bymekaargemaak en dit in die kar gegooi. Ek was van plan om te ry, maar die brand het versprei na albei kante van die pad. “Ek wou toe keer dat my dek nie vlam vat nie, maar my tuinslang het geen waterdruk gehad nie. Ek het gedink dit was die laaste keer wat ek my huis gaan sien.” Die brandweer het op dié tydstip opgedaag en Wells se huis natgespuit. Sy buurman se kothuis het aan die brand geslaan en hulle het dit ook geblus. Wells sê hy het net lof vir die brandbestryders. Volgens Lester Smith, die hoof van die Overstrand brand- en redding, het die vlei tussen Pringlebaai en Mooiuitsig om 19:28 die aand van 16 Julie begin brand. “Stormsterk
winde van tot 75 km/h was ’n groot bydraende faktor tot die onbeheersde vuur. Die oorsaak is in dié stadium nog onbekend. Daar is 85 brandbestryders en 24 brandweerwaens ontplooi wat bestaan het uit lede van die Overstrand brand- en reddingseenheid, met bystand van CapeNature, die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit en Stad Kaapstad sowel as die vrywilligers uit Bettysbaai en Pringlebaai. Brandbestryders het dwarsdeur Woensdagnag vir sowat 13 uur lank gewerk om die vuur onder beheer te bring. Swaar reënweer wat Donderdagoggend uitgesak het, het ook die vuur gestuit. Mary-Louise van Rooyen, ’n plaaslike inwoner en eiendomsagent, vertel dit was ’n skrikwekkende belewenis om as gesin hul huis te ontruim, om logies te probeer dink, die vensters toe te maak en die gas af te skakel. “Ek het die vrees in my seun se gesig gesien, maar hy het kalm gebly terwyl hy ons troeteldiere in die motor gelaai het en ons die huis gesluit het,” sê Mary-Louise. Die gesin het ontruim en na haar ouers se huis verder weg van die brand in Bettysbaai gegaan, net om later daar óók te moes uit. “Van gebede vir wonderwerke en reën een oomblik tot dank die volgende oomblik, besef elkeen van die inwoners hoe gelukkig ons is om so ’n fantastiese brandweerspan en vrywilligerskorps te hê,” sê Mary-Louise. “Dit is belangrik om ag te slaan op die waarskuwings rakende brandveiligheid,” het sy
Inbrake tydens brand Diewe het gedurende die brande in Bettysbaai hul kans benut om by verskeie huise toe te slaan. Volgens ao. Jaco van Wyk, stasiebevelvoerder van die Kleinmond-polisiekantoor, ondersoek hulle tans vyf klagtes van huisbraak wat dié aand aanhangig gemaak is. “Die sake is aangemeld deur huiseienaars wat noodgedwonge hul huise moes ontruim. “Skootrekenaars, ’n ring, selfone en verskeie ander kleiner items is as gesteel aangemeld. “Daar was ook voorvalle waar die inwoners besig was om die huis te ontruim. In die chaos van die brand het die diefstalle plaasgevind.” Die Kleinmond polisie is besig om die verskeie klagtes te ondersoek. Enigeen met inligting kan ao. Maree by die Kleinmondpolisiekantoor skakel: 0 028 271 8213 bygevoeg. “Die fynbos is beeldskoon, maar beheer en die R44, wat gedurende die brand waar daar grasse rondom die huise was, was gesluit was, is heropen. Twee huise, een ’n vakansiehuis en een in die huise meestal veilig.” Penny Davidson, nog ’n inwoner, was saam aanbou, is in puin gelê en 19 ander strukture met haar man by Camelot-restaurant toe hul- is beskadig. Sowat 220 hektaar fynbos is verle van die brand hoor. “Ons het op die balkon woes. Nie een van die inwoners is in die brand gestaan en kyk en toe ons sien die brand beweeg al nader aan ons huis, is ons onmiddellik beseer nie, alhoewel drie brandbestryders vir rookinaseming behandel moes word. Hulle is huis toe. “Die brand het reg rondom ons huis beweeg. op die toneel behandel en het aanhou werk. Ons het probeer om die vlamme soveel moontlik te blus, maar ons tuinslange kon nie by die bure bykom nie en die huis oorkant ons is byna daarmee heen. “Van daar het die vuur in twee verdeel en terwyl die een been na die lagoon gehardloop het, het die ander tussen die huise deur gesnel. Ons huis het genadiglik die vuur vrygespring,” sê Penny. Vir die eerste keer is die Pringlebaai-vrywilligers se nuwe Unimog-brandweerwa, genaamd Rocky, ingespan. “Dit is fantasties om ’n voertuig te hê wat gebou is vir die terrein. Ons het voorheen altyd gesukkel met ’n 2x4-bakkie. Die nuwe voertuig werk soos ’n droom,” sê Clayton Francis, die Pringlebaai-vrywilligers se hoof.

Three awards for Old Harbour Museum The Old Harbour Museum won the award for the highest overall number of visitors of all museums in the Western Cape for the second year running. They also walked away with awards for the lowest cost per museum to the department and the highest number of visitors for a medium sized museum.

‘Ek neem deel vir my ouma – sy het dinge láát gebeur’ Die ouma na wie verwys word, is Antie Gerda soos dit sê op die swartbord agter haar soetgoedtafel by Hermanuspietersfontein se Saterdagmark. Antie Gerda, of eerder Gerda Roos, is verlede jaar oorlede aan longkanker ná ’n baie kort tydperk van siekte. Haar kleindogter het die Hermanus Times laat weet sy is ’n finalis in ’n kompetisie waarvoor sy ingeskryf het ter nagedagtenis aan haar ouma. “My ouma het ’n groot invloed op my lewe gehad en ek wil deur hierdie kompetisie ook graag ’n verskil in ander se lewe maak, hoe gering ook al,” sê Gerda-Mari Conradie, wat ingeskryf het vir Bachelorette van die Jaar 2014. “Dié kompetisie,” verduidelik Gerda-Mari, “het glad nie met ’n mansoekery te doen nie en skoonheid speel ook nie ’n rol nie. Die wenner sal die ambassadeur word vir Kansa en ’n verskil kan maak in mense se lewe deur baie betrokke te wees by geldinsamelingsprojekte vir Kansa. “My motivering om deel te neem aan hierdie kompetisie is my wonderlike ouma. Sy het nooit teruggesit en gewag dat iets moet gebeur nie; sy het dit láát gebeur.” Die kies van die finale ronde se finaliste vind hierdie naweek in Johannesburg plaas. Die wenner word in November aangewys.
Só sal gereelde markgangers Gerda Roos onthou by haar soetgoedtafel by die HPFmarkie.

4 HermanusTimes Department’s lease agreement not working out for Elgin farmworkers 24 July, 2014
ANNETTE THERON The families of 27 permanent workers on the farm Protea outside Elgin say they face an uncertain future because of a deal that is not working out as it was planned. Since the beginning of the year the workers have been without water for two months, without electricity for two more, and without wages between April and 4 July. They say they mostly live from donations by shops, churches and charity organisations such as the ACVV and Elgin Round Table, on this 74 hectare apple and plum farm. According to Vuyani Nkasayi, head of communications at the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform of the Western Cape, the department acquired the farm from a private owner in June last
year for R11,6 million for the farm itself, and another R1 million for the machinery and equipment. The department entered into a lease agreement with two co-lessees, who Nkasayi says have many years experience in the farming sector. Nkasayi emphasises that the deal is not a BEE initiative. “The lease works as such; if there are people interested in farming, then they apply and they are kept on the database of the department and when we acquire a farm, we then interview the applicants and successful applicants get a lease agreement.” But, said Nkasayi, the farm has not generated income of late, and the money the department had aimed to raise by November last year to “keep the farm running”, has not been secured to date.

Nkasayi said the department is aware of the situation on the farm. “One of the reasons people did not get paid was because the farm did not generate any money to pay them.” They are all permanent workers,
with families to support,” said Mekie Plato, ward councillor for Protea, about the 27 affected workers. Plato expressed concern about their future because they were apparently asked to go on unpaid leave from 23 June to 9 July.
Nuus News
Edward van Niekerk, one of the two lessees who was present at a recent hand-over of food parcels on the farm, was contacted to give clarity and more detailed information on the terms of the lease agreement, but did not want to comment. Upon a question about the future of the farm and its workers, Nkasayi said the department will “communicate that when we are ready”. “We don’t know where we stand and we are very unhappy with the current situation and we don’t know what the future holds for us,” one of the farm workers said yesterday. “Something has to be done here; we receive absolutely no benefits. “We have spoken amongst ourselves and believe that government should give us part of the shares of the farm as we are the ones working the land.”
Mother in stable condition after set alight by son JANINE VAN DER RIET The mother who was attacked and set alight by her 19-year-old son on Tuesday 15 July in their Voëlklip home, is still in a serious but stable condition at Tygerberg Hospital. The son had also attacked his grandmother with a hammer on the same evening, but she has since been discharged from hospital. Hermanus Times is aware of the
identity of the victims, but has decided to honour their request not to be identified. The mother is still heavily bandaged and needs medical care for at least another three to six weeks. The grandmother is at home and friends say “she is a very brave lady and doing alright under the circumstances. “She is getting a lot of love and support from neighbours and residents in Hermanus.” The saddest part of the attack on
the mother and grandmother, say family friends, is that the mother is a wonderful, inspiring woman and author of multiple books who dedicates her time and energy to helping victims of trauma and violence in South Africa and abroad. She offers courses and retreats and is a well-known inspirational speaker, teacher and facilitator. In the books she has written and the motivational courses she facilitates, she tells the reader and audience of the violence she has had to

These include the murder of her father and assault of her mother in a farm attack as well as an attack and stoning on her in a mass riot that spun out of control. In a recent interview with the Hermanus Times before a motivational talk she held in Kleinmond, she said: “Our biggest issue is the fear of going through these events. I will be speaking on how to get past the fear of having something hap-
pen to you and whether it is possible to prevent it. When we live in fear, our lives become limited.” She has also written a number of e-books which have been downloaded more than 1 600 times. Her 19-year-old son was arrested on the night of the attack and appeared in the Hermanus Magistrate’s Court on Friday 18 July. The case was remanded until 28 July for a bail hearing. The investigating officer will oppose bail.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Become the change There are many advantages to living in a small town. Although everyone mostly knows everybody’s business, like no body’s business, there is also the sense of belonging that comes along with it. Unfortunately the reality is that behind closed doors everyone still has their own skeletons. According to the 2011 Cen sus, a total of 16% of the Overstrand population has no annual income. With these statistics comes incredible hard ship for some families. Poverty and hardship has a major in fluence on a person. And when someone whom we thought we knew well, takes his or her own life, we can only wonder about the reasons behind it. This is not only true for those without any income, but also the father or mother who struggles to provide for their own family. The reasons behind suicide is mostly a darkly kept secret, but if we could make an effort to look around and really see our neighbours, friends and acquaint ances going through a hard time, we could become the difference between a life and death decision.
No decline in whale numbers
Watch whales from the rocks Shortly after we bought our house on the cliff tops at De Kelders in 1989, we were privileged to watch a whale give birth just off the rocks right in front of us. At that time 80 to 100 whales in the bay were common, but since moving here permanently in 2000, we have witnessed increasing incursions of whale watching boats into their territory. Is it really coincidental that this development has been accompanied by a steady decline in our seasonal visitors? On Monday 14 July two whale watching boats were to be seen within the breaker line in front of the Coffee On the Rocks restaurant and that night seven boats were fishing well inside the bay, extremely close to The Plaat. It seems these boats are justified because they earn money for their owners and the area and as we all know, everybody needs money now – irrespective of the co-lateral costs for the future. Forget the boats! To get up “real close” to the whales and get a far better view, you can stand on the rocks in front of our house, where the whales come in so close you could hit them with a ping pong ball. But of course, you can’t charge people for standing on the rocks, so this non-intrusive option does not have any appeal for the whale tour operators. Any animal or human mother will protect her young and will not tolerate anything getting close and whales are surely no different. If these boats are allowed to trespass close to the cliffs, the whales’ nursery, the whales will go, just like the rhino – so what?

In response to Fanie de Jager’s letter “Waarheen is al die walvisse” (HT 17/07), I can say that as a proud Hermanian and whale lover, I have diligently photographed and monitored whales from land, sea and air, and can tell you there has been no decline in the numbers to Hermanus (Walker Bay). I personally counted 25 whales from Sievers Punt on 15 July. The bay has had record sightings of humpback whales this season (June/July). To add to my sightings, I photographed three mother/calf pairings on 14 July, the earliest I’ve ever seen calves in the bay from land. As for the whale boats, get off your butt and go and enjoy a trip to see whales at close quarters. The boats, by law, are allowed to approach to 50 metres. Because of their (whales) inquisitive nature, they approach the boats almost every time, to
within touching distance. The southern right whale population is increasing every year (approximately 7 000 to the SA coastline in 2013, out of a total population of approximately 16 000). Personally, I believe Walker Bay has a capacity to contain 250 whales at peak times (Sep/Oct). In my short 10 years monitoring whales in Walker Bay, capacity has always been reached. Whale watching in Hermanus, De Kelders, Pearly beach, and De Hoop any time in the season is fantastic, Tamatie Bank included. I didn’t see Mr De Jager braaing on a beautiful mid June morning when I photographed a southern right in the kelp and a breaching humpie, all from the very Tamatie Bank.

‘Quiet diplomacy’ works best at night shelter I am responding to the “Anonymous” SMS published in HT 10 July, with regard to their comments that tik/dagga and alcohol are being used in the night shelter and also of the so-called intimidation of anyone who lays a complaint with the on duty supervisor. Have newcomers to the shelter used tik/ dagga and smuggled alcohol into the shelter in the past? The answer is “yes”. Was it allowed to continue? The answer is a resounding “no”. I have (when an incident of this nature has occurred) confronted the persons concerned and quietly informed them if the incident occurs again, not only will the supervisor be informed but in the case of tik/dagga, the Hermanus SAPS will be informed. This method of “quiet diplomacy” has been a tremendous success and the incident has never been repeated again. You may think, “why not report it to the on duty supervisor immediately?” The reason is twofold. The majority of homeless people have a deep mistrust of any authoritarian organisation and absolutely nothing would be achieved by having them removed from the shelter. Instead they are made aware of the future consequences of the action. This method has only failed on two or
three occasions and when reported to the supervisor immediate action has been taken through a temporary suspension or (as anonymous can testify to) a permanent banning from the shelter, and in some cases the police have been called to evict the individual concerned. For “anonymous” to make the accusation, is malicious in the extreme and is just an attempt by “anonymous” to cause maximum trouble for the shelter because they are permanently banned. Daily you can see in the shelter the marked improvement and behaviour of the inhabitants who decided to clean the area around the supervisor’s caravan and the entrance of the shelter which indicates a certain pride that they take in the place where they live. In conclusion, I would just like to thank, on behalf of all shelter inhabitants, the committee who work tirelessly to help the homeless people and also those extremely good people who bring food every night to the shelter at their own expense in sometimes really miserable weather. They don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk. God bless you all.
STUART WALTER CLEYDEN
Ek is ’n jongman van 65 jaar oud, van Port Elizabeth, en moes ’n operasie aan my regterskouer in Hermanus ondergaan. Ek was maar skrikkerig vir die klein plattelandse hospitaal, maar aangesien een van die beste ortopede (voorheen van Pretoria) my sou opereer, het ek maar deurgedruk. My eerste skok was toe ek by die sekerheidsman by die hospitaalhek moes verbykom. Hy was so vriendelik en hulpvaardig; ek het maar gedink hy het my met ’n groot WP Rugbyspeler verwar. Met die aankoms by die ontvangstoonbank, het ek weer dié opregte vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid ervaar. Die dame was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig, het al my besonderhede geneem, en my verwys met ’n spesiale gesant na die saal waar ek opgeneem sal word. By die saal waar ek die volgende 30 uur sou deurbring, is ek hartlik ontvang en gou op my gemak laat voel. Alles oor die hospitaal en dit wat vir my voorlê, is aan my in pragtige Afrikaans verduidelik. Weereens het ek gemeen die personeel verwar my met iemand baie bekend. Hulle het soveel tyd aan my spandeer. Net jammer hulle wou nie vir my lekker koffie gee nie; net geseg die koffie was klaar? Die suster wat die vrae moes vra, het dit so professioneel gedoen dat die meer as 300 vrae nie lank geduur het nie. Ek was spyt die sessie het so gou geneem. Die suster het ook tong in die kies vir my gevra: U is nie swanger nie…? (Ek is lank en skraal, en het beslis nie ’n boepie nie.) Ek kon nie ophou lag nie, die spanning was beslis gebreek. Die aantrek van die blourok en die ooreenstemmende kleur onderbroekie het my vrou laat skater. Die hospitaal is pragtig uitgelê, en word baie goed instand gehou. Ek het krities na my kamer gekyk, en kon sien hier word net gestreef na kwaliteit, en netheid. Ek is so 10:30 ingestoot na die slagpale, en weereens het ek die opregte warmte daar ervaar. Ek kon nie eens die susters of die narkotiseer se name onthou, nie, maar ek was onmiddellik op my gemak geplaas. Ek is mooi uitgesit en die ortopeed het my regter skouer beetgekry, en vol swart merke gekrap. Seker sy padaanwysings, waar hy gaan sny/skaaf. Die saalsuster wat my terug ontvang het, het mooi verskoning gemaak vir die swart merke, maar laat blyk dat die “tippex” is seker klaar in die teater. Lekker humor so by die pyn. Ek is op my bed gemaklik gemaak, en bederf met lekker koffie en kos. Skielik het hulle toe weer koffie gehad in die hospitaal! Die personeel wat die nag aan diens was, het gereeld kom seker maak ek is gemaklik, en nie pyn het nie. Die betrokke nagsuster het seker al meer as 1 000 inspuitings in die boud toegedien, want sy het presies geweet hoe en wat om te doen sonder dat ek dit gevoel het. Ek moes een keer (teen 03:30) die klokkie druk aangesien die pypie wat in die aar in my hand ingedruk was, losgekom het as gevolg van my swaaiende arms in die nag. Die nagsuster was letterlik binne 10 sekondes langs die bed, en die probleempie gou reggestel. Met die etes kon ek nie my regterarm gebruik nie; was weggesteek onder die blourok. Die susters het my kos in klein stukkies gesny, sodat ek dit met die linkerhand kon bykom. Die volgende oggend met die skeer, en stort, was die personeel baie behulpsaam. Het ongelukkig nie handdoek ingepak nie, en ek is toe voorsien van ’n lekker dik wit handdoek. Met my ontslag is die nodige vorms voltooi, my medisyne en spuite gegee, en die suster wat daardie oggend aan diens gekom het, het my in detail vertel hoe ek te werk moet gaan. Hulle wou om die dood nie dat ek my klein tassie op sy wiele tot by die voordeur sleep nie; nee hulle sal dit doen. Hermanus, julle het ’n ongelooflike hospitaal, en uitstekende verpleegpersoneel by Mediclinic. Ek het gesoek om fout te vind met die opname, die bed, die kamer, die etes, die diens, ens, ens; ek kon geen tekortkominge uitwys nie. Net voortreflike en warm diens. Die matrone en die direksie van Mediclinic Hermanus kan beslis trots wees op hul hospitaal en personeel. Ek gee hulle ’n totaal van 9.5 uit 10.

Shift in distribution trends of whales Mr De Jager’s observations (HT, 17 July) agree broadly with trends that have been seen from the annual helicopter surveys of the coastline between Nature’s Valley and Muizenberg that have been carried out since 1979, latterly by the Mammal Research Institute (MRI) of the University of Pretoria. The numbers of unaccompanied whales (that is, not cow-calf pairs) seen on these surveys have declined since 2009, to about half of the levels seen from 2000 – 2009, whereas

The reasons for this trend are unknown, but since 2003, 20 right whales that were previously photographed in South African waters have been sighted off Namibia (10 since 2008), so there seems to have been a shift in distribution of some unaccompanied whales to areas that they once occupied over 200 years ago.

Stop stagnation, get creative juices flowing to tackle jobs, housing, transport, water, parking, tourism The loss of large projects recently has been costly to Hermanus, causing stagnation and loss of jobs and money circulation. Here is food for thought, starting with Stanford. Stanford – Add a mini waterfront to this already beautiful and interesting old-school town. From the Stanford waterfront have a ferry running in the Kleinrivier to Maanskynbaai. The well-elevated grounds at Maanskynbaai can become a state-of-the-art sports complex and sports college with a waterfront with a sports bar and restaurant (no malls). Maanskynbaai could offer world-class rowing competitions (maybe a Cambridge, Oxford type of race between the Ikeys and Maties for a start from Stanford to Hermanus/ Maanskynbaai), yachting, indoor swimming and maybe world sevens rugby one day. Soccer, cricket, bowls, driving range, athletic fields or a triathlon by pedalling from Gansbaai to Stanford; rowing to Maanskynbaai; and running to Hermanus. Add chalets on the waters edge of Maanskynbaai or a Formula 1 type hotel for athletes. A project of this nature can draw people to Hermanus during the winter months also and get Hermanus properly on to the international arena. De Mond – build a hotel catering for sportsmen and others, and top-class homes, not clusters. Hermanus – close down a portion of the main road in the CBD from Lemm’s corner to Dirkie Uys street. Remove the vendor stalls and place new smaller ones in the centre of the main road for the current vendors. Erect other stalls of interest and create a Southern African theme with each stall displaying the history of a Southern African country for the tourists to read. Keep Lemm’s Corner for the history of Hermanus and add old farming equipment and a boat with history on display. Allow people to jam and mime etc. for entertainment. Add lights and potted trees and plants and also have a free Wi Fi zone. Name it The Whale Walk. Keep the market parking open. Bring back the old wow view it once had, and at the same time creating additional parking and freedom to walk to shops. Open Harbour Road to two-way traffic with a very low speed limit. Taxi rank – Change the current under-utilised parking in front of the taxi rank to a municipal garden. Mount Pleasant – The first impression is always the lasting one. Mount Pleasant and surrounds, improve to garden villages. Sandbaai - The Whale Coast Mall will most

certainly help to put the right business in the right place improving on the shortage of certain shops and jobs and also having to shop across the mountain. Hawston should be protected from losing its heritage, but at the same time improving it for tourism. With growth and people’s lives improving new business will move away from the CBD and a well-integrated affordable garden village housing project could be built between Hawston and Fisherhaven. A good-size shopping centre and garage will be needed and possibly a fish or abalone farm for jobs. Municipal workshops and stores – Our municipality should also combine their workshops and stores alike which are widespread to Afdaks (opposite Fisherhaven) to free up space in town. Afdaks could also serve the short falls for light industrial areas. Botrivier is a junction. It will be ideal for light and heavy industries, abattoir, cold storage for distribution and also skills development colleges which could serve all the surrounding towns and people. The Botrivier rail line could see the return of a passenger train from Cape Town bringing tourists and visitors to the Overstrand area. Myciti type busses between Rooi Els, Botrivier and Gansbaai will help to get the people to work and to the shops. Day visitors and people who need to get to hospitals and clinics will be more connected between towns. Also, have a special tourist bus. The bus terminal can be at Afdaks or Botrivier. Water issues – Separate the fresh water and sea water by building a wall in the lagoon from Prawn Flats to Maanskynbaai. Pump the sludge to Maanskynbaai as filling and have a big fresh water storage dam getting the water from the mountain. Hermanus does not only have a shortage of water, but also a shortage of funds. It has been said for years that the old municipal dump at the bird sanctuary is one of the contributing factors to unsafe water in the lagoon. Walker Bay nature reserve area – Electricity, wind turbines in the Walker Bay nature reserve area. A sewerage plant in the reserve with sewerage pipes running in the lagoon to De Mond. The possibilities for a light aircraft airfield and making use of a ferry from the reserve to Prawn Flats for the travellers or a connection bridge. Let’s stop stagnation. It might help to get the Habonim and Schulphoek projects back on track to stop the downward spiral.

Nog koue reënweer voor die lente kom Is die winter nou laat of net bloot uit sy plek in die huidige wêreld weerpatroon, wil Danie Combrink van Kleinmond weet. Was die Kaap al so koud? Die antwoord is dat die winter eintlik amptelike verby is en ons gaan van volgende Vrydag af die lente-seisoen binne. Of die blommetjies en groente die krag sal hê om oop te gaan, is seker daarna die volgende vraag. Die slegte nuus is intussen dat die oorvol Kaapse damme die naweek nog oorvoller sal raak want die front wat vanaand (Donderdag) nader skuif is nie ’n teddiebeertjie nie. Meer as 22 mm val tot Sondag. Om Danie se vraag af te sluit kan Weerhaan sê Kapenaars het al kouer as dit gesien. Daar was ’n paar warmer winters in ’n ry wat veral Overstranders bederf het. Dit moet mens glo as die omvattende klimaatsverandering buite rekening gelaat word. As na die huidige front gekyk word, sien ons weer die toutrekkery tussen die warm Indiese kant van die land en die koue Atlantiese kant waar die opkomende koue uit die suidpool die regte omstandighede moet vind om reënwolke te maak om die winter reënvalstreke korrek (oftewel genoegsaam) met neerslae te “diens”
Wat ons vanjaar sien is ongewone reëns in die winter reg oor die somerreënval gebiede. Dit is wanneer die Atlantiese hoogdruk swak is en nie suid genoeg kom om oudergewoonte wolke te maak nie. Die inmenging van die oostewind is vanjaar opvallend dikwels en ons sien die naweek weer hoe hy die Kaapse reënwind uit die noordweste kortwiek en suid van die land voorkeer. Mens sou verwag dat die oostewind bietjie hitte bring en dit gebeur wel, maar as ons mooi kyk sien ons die hitte help net vir gebiede teenaan die kus. Meer binneland toe kom die einste oostewind ook maar oor nat en koue aarde en dra koue aan wat veral na sonsak erg gevoel word. Vanoggend (Donderdag) met dagbreek maak die wolke reg om teen sonsak te begin sous. Ons sien eers volgende Donderdag weer volle son. En dan die slegte nuus. Net wanneer ons volgende Vrydag regmaak vir die amptelike lente, sê die Kaapse reënwind weer ‘hallo’ en trek ons weer die warmgoed nader om vir die blommeseisoen te wag.

Suicides and poverty alarming JANINE VAN DER RIET Poverty remains one of the main reasons for people giving up on life, says Santie Oelofsen from the welfare organisation Badisa. “People are desperate and have no more options or hope regarding work, food, money and accommodation,” says Oelofsen. In the latest incident a 47-year-old man from Northcliff committed suicide on Wednesday 16 July. The police were called to the scene and on arrival found that he had committed suicide by hanging himself. His girlfriend came home after work at around 16:45 and found him already dead on the scene. Oelofsen says Badisa has seen a dramatic increase in attempted suicide cases, especially under the elderly and teenagers in the past few months, also an increase in the number of teenagers looking for help and counselling. Leon Brand from EMR ambulance services says in the last few years there has been a tremendous increase in the number of suicides. He says in the recent past most suicides have occurred in middle-class homes. “Even though some months are quieter, the number of incidents are still alarming.” According to Lieutenant Fadila September from the Hermanus Police, there has not been a significant increase in the number of suicides in the past month. “However, in the
past two years or so, suicide and suicide attempts have increased significantly.” According to the police and welfare organisations, poverty and depression are spreading into middleclass areas at an alarming rate Soli Madikane, director of the Department of Local Economic Development in the Overstrand Municipality, says the Overstrand has an unemployment rate of 19% to 23% among active job-seekers. He says economic growth is moderate at present after it had peaked in previous years. The number of people in need of donations in Badisa’s primary area – which stretches from the Gateway Centre to Voëlklip – has increased greatly. Badisa also serves the communities of Gansbaai and Stanford. According to Oelofsen, an increasing number of people are struggling to find suitable accommodation on middle-class salaries or pensioners’ pay-outs in and around Hermanus. “There are many couples, for instance, that can only afford a onebedroom cottage or flat. The owners of these flats, however, mostly only want one tenant and not a couple. But the couples cannot afford to pay more rent. Also, the homeless shelters are full and these people have nowhere to go.” According to Tronel Meintjies, founder of Hermanus Stand Together, a non-profit organisation helping people in need in and around Hermanus, their organisation has
experienced a massive increase of people in need since May 2013. “In May we started making plates of food for about five people per day. In November it was around 15 people. Now we make food for around 40 people per day.” She says they are willing to help wherever they can. People must not be shy or too proud to ask for help. It can save a family, she says. September says the Hermanus Police has a trauma room available at the station for members of the public who need counselling or guidance. “Families can also look out for one another, take care and listen to each other’s problems. Look out for signs of depression, mood changes and financial difficulties,” September says. The following organisations offer support to those in need: ) Badisa: 028 312 3909. ) Hermanus Stand Together: 082 737 1226. ) Hermanus Police: 028 313 8555. ) Professional health care: Dr Cathy Cristie (psychiatrist): 028 313 1919; Dr Whepie Howell (psychiatrist): 028 313 1919; ) SADAG (SA Depression & Anxiety Support Group): 011 262 6396 and SMS line 31393. ) The Hermanus Support Group For Mental Health gets together every first Monday of each month at 15:30 in the Blue Room at Fynbospark, Church Street, Hermanus.

Woman stable after cliff fall JANINE VAN DER RIET The woman who suffered serious injuries on Monday 7 July when she fell off a cliff near The Marine Hotel, is currently in a stable condition in Worcester Hospital. A family member of the patient told the Hermanus Times that the family is going through a very tough time. The 43-year-old woman was here on holiday from Johannesburg visiting family when the incident happened. “The doctor said it is a miracle she had survived the fall. She is
in a lot of pain and will still need medical treatment for at least six months in future,” the family member said. Jo-Anne Otto, spokesperson for the Western Cape Department of Health, confirmed the woman has been transferred from Worcester Hospital to Tygerberg Hospital for dedicated spinal care. “She was successfully operated on. The patient is in a stable condition and will be transferred back to Worcester or Hermanus Hospital as soon as her healthcare team deem it safe to do so.”

SPELLING COMPETITION: Bosko Christian School recently host ed the finals of their second term spelling competition in their school hall. Learners from Grade 2 to 7 competed against each other and were tested on the 100 most used words in English. The nine finalists were (from front): Hlomela Ngokro (Gr 7), Chuma Penkese (Gr 6), Sinebongo Qebeyi (Gr6), Saraai Rwapunga (Gr 6), Esihle Nxodo (Gr 5), Lorna Boyisi (Gr 4), Talitha Faro (Gr 4), Adel Humbasha (Gr 3) and Ndumiso Ngqwemla (Gr 2). According to the teachers, it was a nailbiting finish. Achieving full marks throughout the competition did not come easy as learners had to make time to revise and study.

The South African Shark Conserv ancy (SASC) sorting the rubbish after their Hermanus cliff path cleanup. PHOTO: MEGAN SMITH / SHOW ME HERMANUS
.
The South African Shark Conservancy (SASC) ran a cleanup of the Hermanus cliff path on Friday. The aim was to encourage residents to pick up as much rubbish as they could within 67 minutes. Afterwards the rubbish was sorted, weighed and counted. Over 40 people participated and collected rubbish weighing 79,5 kg with a total count of 2 661 rubbish items. The section of cliff path between 4th and 9th Avenue had the most amount of rubbish (in terms of count and weight). The top five rubbish items were food wrappers followed by cigarette butts, plastic bags, bottle caps (plastic) and beverage bottles (plastic). A grenade projection adapter was the strangest item found. Items of local concern included black mesh and piping (thought to be from the abalone farms). All this data will form part of SASC’s long-term marine debris monitoring project which aims to understand and reduce marine debris through research and education; and to raise awareness.

Farmer sponsors green initiative study at Waldorf KERRY VAN RENSBURG A climate change feasibility study to reduce their carbon footprint is currently being conducted at Hermanus Waldorf School. The study, which is focusing primarily on measuring and then reducing the school’s energy consumption by making use of renewable energy, is being sponsored by Jacobus Human, a conservation farmer from Heidelberg who is also the CEO of Eerstebos Boedery. Human, who has contributed R50 000 to the project, was presented with a plaque for his generosity at a special function at Hermanus Waldorf School recently. The company doing the feasibility study, Core, is an engineering practice based in Hermanus, with an international footprint which reaches to the City of Knowledge in Panama. They focus on the mitigation of green house gases and make use of Micro Power Stations (MPS) that uses solar, wind and biofuels along with energy efficiency technologies to combat carbon dioxide. Keamogetse Mokomele, a civil engineer and principal of Core, as well as the MD of the company, Darren Steinback, an electronics engineer, were present at the function held at Waldorf. Steinback says to establish who would receive the funding from farmer Human, they visited several NGOs in the Hermanus area with three Millenium Development Goals in mind, namely sustaina-

bilty, the empowerment of women and food security. Steinback says Waldorf met the criteria. He says: “We can see that the project can expand (at Waldorf), and we will take the study, find investors interested in green initiatives, to pay for the implementation of this project.” Mokomele, who put the initiative together, works closely with farmers like Human to make sure the whole production chain is sustainable, making use of renewable energy machines and organic fertilisers to produce healthy products. Human says his 2 000 hectare farm is a family business which has made use of conservation agricultural practices for more than 30 years. He produces wheat, barley, canola, coriander and lupins making use of fewer chemical fertilisers. He says they have already been using natural processes on his farm, but not enough to sustain their needs. “We need to change our methods so that it will be profitable for us.”

Ingrid van Ginkel will be the guest speaker at the U3A Overberg’s open meeting on Wednesday 30 July. She will speak about the book written by her mother, Yvonne van den Dool, From Kitchen to Cockpit: A woman’s journey through the world of aviation Yvonne, the subject of this presentation, was born in 1930. In 1949 she saw a Sunderland Flying Boat on the Vaal Dam and fell in love – not with the pilot, but with the plane. The rest of her life became bound up in flying as she lived through the ups and downs of aviation in South Africa over four decades. In the early 1990s Yvonne came to live in Hermanus, with frequent trips to China to visit family in Beijing. Ingrid will present a colourful account of the challenges that faced Yvonne - a mother, whose dream it was to fly. Ingrid herself had inherited a strong sense of adventure from her parents. With a passion for experiencing diverse cul-

Copies of Yvonne’s autobiography will be on sale before and after the talk at R210. The meeting will take place in the Catholic Church Hall at 17:30.
Profile: Derek Wells There is nothing quite as exhilarating as a round of golf on the soft, verdant fairways of Hermanus Golf Club, a magnificent stretch of land between mountain and sea, of gentle slopes, sparkling ponds and prolific birdlife – all surrounded by a wide variety of splendid fynbos. Within our group, collectively known as the Grysbokke, are some fascinating characters. One such is the evergreen Derek Wells. Here is a man of advanced years (89), who still has a zest for life. Whether playing golf or chatting about his beloved wife, his enthusiasm is infectious. He has been married to Lorna for 61 years and lovingly refers to her as Sweetness. Derek still has a competitive drive that brings an edge to his game and he will cheer every good shot that his partner makes. He wears an automatic wind Omega watch that has never been opened or repaired. What makes this remarkable is that his father presented it to him on the occasion of his graduation – in 1947. He attended the University of Cape Town, where he obtained a BSc in Civil Engineering. Every day he caught a bus from Three Anchor Bay to the main station, then the train to Rosebank and then walked to UCT. Because of this schedule, sport at UCT was not practical, so young Derek joined Hamiltons, where he played lock forward, initially for the u. 19 teams of 1943/44 and later for the senior Hamilton team. Amongst his friends were many revered names in our rugby annals – such as Salty du Randt, Francis Melish (captain of Hamiltons), the Koch brothers and Gerry Brand. Derek’s love for Hermanus began in 1953 when he spent his honeymoon at The Marine Hotel. In his words “marrying Sweetness was the best thing I ever did”. And Derek was quite the ‘boytjie’! His four children were all born during school holidays – as Lorna was a teacher. His working career as a road engineer, took him to places like Cape Town, George and Tulbagh, where he and Lorna still vividly recall
Derek Wells (left) and Clyde Manson ready for a round of golf at the Hermanus Golf Club. PHOTO: KERRY VAN RENSBURG the devastating earthquake of 1969. Through this tragedy they experienced first hand the love and sacrifice of a community standing together. In the mid 1980s Derek retired to Hermanus where they settled into their holiday home in Voëlklip, where they still live today. Derek has been very active at the Hermanus Golf Club, first as captain and later as club president. His knowledge of drainage systems proved invaluable. HGC, like many others, was for many years run on non-business principles and as a result the club went through difficult financial and often turbulent times. The success of the current world class HGC, with its superb 27 hole layout, protected environmental areas, housing estates and outright ownership of the land on which the course exits, has much to do with the fortitude and vision of men like Derek Wells, Hannes Kleynhans, Manie Bekker and other committee members. Through the trials and tribulations of his 89 years, playing competitive sport with only one eye, and fighting for his life through many operations, Derek is the ultimate survivor – with an indomitable spirit and an unmatched love of life, his wife and family and golf. I treasure Derek’s friendship. – CLYDE MANSON

Chevrolet Trailblazer: Iets vir die Wilde Weste HANS HEESE Tot onlangs was die Toyota Fortuner by verre die land se mees gewilde 4X4 nutswa waarmee daar op enige pad en plek gery kon word met groot gemak. Dit boonop teen ’n bekostigbare prys as alles in ag geneem word. Hierdie eerste plek van Toyota word nou egter ernstig bedreig deur die Chevrolet Trailblazer, wat soos die Toyota, sy oorsprong in die Verre Ooste het. Die Trailblazer word in Rayong, Thailand, gebou. Net interessantheidshalwe; al die Chevrolets wat in Duitsland aangebied word het almal hulle oorsprong in die Verre Ooste, met Suid-Korea as die belangrikste verskaffer. En moet nie China vergeet met sy General Motors -aanlegte en waar General Motors hulle grootste markafset geniet nie.
Ons toetsvoertuig, die 4X4 outomatiese dieselweergawe het op presies die regte oomblik by ons aangekom; die afgelope maand of wat moes ek met ’n “moon boot” oor die weg gekom het ná ’n Achilles-spier geskeur het en weer geheg moes word. Ook was daar ’n lang vooruitbeplande toertjie na die meer afgeleë plekke in die Klein Karoo en Prins Albert. Die Trailblazer is ’n groot voertuig in ons verwysingsraamwerk, maar nie so groot soos waaraan die Amerikaners gewoond is nie. Ruimte binne is onbeperk en daar is die voordeel van drie rye sitplekke wat vir jonger gesinne meer as genoeg ruimte bied, plus nog so ’n bietjie ekstra. Ook is die kajuit ontwerp vir groot Amerikaners en het die spasiering van die rem en petrolpedale genoeg ruimte gelaat vir die groot “moon boot” om met gemak in en uit te klim. Verder is die (elektries-
beheerde) bestuursitplek volledig verstelbaar om aan te pas by omtrent enige grootte bestuurder. Soos te wagte is al die jongste kommunikasie- en klanktoerusting daar, van Bluetooth tot musiekmedia en rekenaarskerm met rekenaar daarby om brandstofverbruik, reikwydte en ander inligting te bekom. Natuurlik ook die veiligheidstoerusting soos ABS en lugsakke en elektroniese beheerstelsel om bestuurderfoute uit te skakel. Die 4X4 aandryfstelsel word deur middel van ’n sentrale draaiknop beheer en daar kan in die ry verskillende modusse gekies word. Die Trailblazer is ’n swaardiensvoertuig en maak gebruik van die klassieke (Isuzu) onderstel waarop die bakwerk vasgebout word. Die hart van die voertuig is die tweede generasie Duramax turbo-diesel enjin wat 144 kW teen 3 800 rpm ontwikkel en nie minder nie as 500 Nm
Sy verrigting stel hom in staat om ’n 10voor ploeg te trek as die plaastrekker nie wil werk nie.
wringkrag teen 2 000 rpm vrystel nie. Hierdie verrigting stel hom in staat om ’n 10-voor ploeg te trek as die plaastrekker die slag nie wil werk nie. Met hierdie verrigting kan ’n groot karavaan of boot ook lag-lag getrek word. En dit met ’n 4-silinder enjin! Die Chev beskik oor groot wiele met genoeg rubber om die ergste stampe uit die pad te haal. Die rit is egter effens stamperig en as ’n rug sensitief is, mag daar effense probleme vir passasiers met sulke probleme wag. Vir sulkes gaan die Captiva, teen ’n heelwat laer prys, miskien ’n beter keuse wees. ’n Pluspunt van die Captiva diesel is egter ’n baie suinige brandstofverbruik wat as 10 liter/100 km aangegee word en op die Klein Karoo-rit baie na aan die werklike verbruik was. Die stilering van die Trailblazer is moontlik meer modern as die van
FOTO: QUICKPIC
sommige mededingers maar dit bly natuurlik ’n baie persoonlike en subjektiewe oordeel. Wanneer vroue ’n keuse by die koop van hierdie soort voertuig het, sal dit sekerlik een van die belangrikste oorwegings wees! Die Trailblazer word verkoop met ’n standaard 5-jaar/120 000 km waarborg en diensplan vir 5 jaar of 60 000 km. Wat gaaf is van die voertuig is dat diensintervalle slegs elke 15 000 km geskied en dus besoeke aan die handelaar, wat soms nie so naby is nie, tot ’n minimum beperk. En wat kos die voorreg om so ’n handige vuurwa in die stal te trek? ’n Tjek vir R506 400 sal die ding doen. Maar as die voorkoms meer belangrik is, en daar nie regtig in die bos gery gaan word nie, is die tweewieltrek Trailblazer 2.5D LT met handrat teen ’n baie bekostigbare R386 500 ’n aanloklike keuse!

Lank lewe die ‘nuwe Tazz’ met ‘n kattebak! HANS HEESE Iewers doen Toyota van SuidAfrika die regte ding! ’n Bekostigbare motor met ruimte vir vyf volwassenes en ’n kattebak om vyf vroue se bagasie in te laai. En boonop nog steeds van buite aantreklik is. Dink net, vyf studente op ’n kamptrippie, of vyf ouer mense uit die aftreeoord op pad na die teater in die stad. Die Tazz-resep werk nog steeds so goed soos in die goeie ou dae, die tyd wat die deuntjie van “Alles loop reg, altyd reg” in ’n mens se kop gedraai het, en ná al die jare nog steeds by tye in my kop kom. Behou ’n goeie resep vir nog ’n paar jaar langer vir ons gewone mense wat nie altyd die nuutste modegier meer najaag nie maar eerder kyk hoe ons die munte in ons beursies kan rek. En daar is nog baie van ons. Die Quest is die 10de geslag Corolla wat nou by ons langer gaan voortleef, ondanks die bekendstelling van die skerp, nuwe Corolla waaroor ons reeds geskryf het. En wat ons regtig beïndruk het met sy nuwe lyne wat groot ooreenkomste toon met dié van die groot Lexus-broer uit die boonste klas. Soos die Tazz is die nuwe Quest ’n unieke Suid-Afrikaanse model en word hy nêrens anders gebou nie. Maar dit gaan nie net suid-Afrikaners wees wat die Quest op hul werwe sal wil parkeer nie; met die heelwat laer prys as die nuwe Corolla gaan daar ook in die buurlande talle kopers wees wat ’n bekostigbare, nuwe Toyota sal wil aanskaf. Die Quest is nie ’n afskeep, goed-
Die Quest is beslis nie ’n afskeep, goedkoop geboude motor wat van alle luukses gestroop is nie. FOTO: QUICKPIC koop geboude motor wat van alle luukses gestroop is nie. Al die dinge waaraan ons gewoond geraak het is daar: al die modelle in die reeks (standaard-handrat en outomaties, asook die Plus-model met handrat) beskik oor ’n immobiliseerder en alarm, afstandbeheerde sentrale sluiting, dubbele lugsakke voor, Isofix-kindersitplekmonterings, lugversorging en reik/hoogteverstelling vir die stuurwiel. Dit is veral die reik-verstelling wat die bestuurposisie soveel gemakliker maak en
vir korter persone die bestuur soveel aangenamer (en veiliger) maak. Van die ander fabrikante, van heelwat duurder modelle, kan gerus hiervan kennis neem. Op die oog af is daar ’n paar nuwighede in die Quest. Die kopligte is herontwerp, so ook die stertligsamestelling en die rigtingwysers aan die kante is van die deurspieëls na die modderskerms verskuif. Die grys sierrooster is nou swart en die nommerplaathulsels ook. Binne is die verdeelde agtersitplek nie meer
verdeel nie en die sitplekke voor is dieselfde as wat in die duurder Corolla aangetref word. Die Quest Plus word van sy goedkoper maats onderskei deur die gebruik van allooiwiele in plaas van staal vellings en het ook ’n goeie klankstelsel wat die byderwetse dinge soos ’n USB- en hulp-sok insluit. Die goedkoper modelle het egter reeds die bedrading vir ’n radio en klankstelsel en moet slegs die nuwe stelsel laat opkoppel. Die kragbron is dieselfde as dié
van die nuwe Corolla 1.6; ’n enjin met dubbele VVT-I- stelsel wat die kleptydreëling verander om verskillende enjinladings te hanteer. Die eenheid ontwikkel 90 kW teen 6 000 rpm en stel 154 Nm teen 5 200 rpm vry. In die praktyk beteken dit die ratte van die sesgang-handratkas moet vryelik gebruik word om goeie verrigting te verkry. Dit maak die viergang- outomatiese ratkas vir ouer persone baie aanloklik. Die suspensie met sy McPherson stutte word onveranderd gebruik en die remme is ook glybeperkende ABS-remme. In ons nat winter is hierdie seker die mees belangrike veiligheidstelsel om botsings te vermy. Stadig is die Quest beslis nie en maak Toyota SA aanspraak op ’n versnellingstyd van 0-100 km/h in 10,4 sekondes en sal die naald op ’n reguit pad op 192 km/h gaan draai. Dit is meer as genoeg vir die deursnee motoris. Een van Toyota se pluspunte is die feit dat 192 agentskappe oor die land versprei is. Ingeval daar wel fout gaan kom met die Quest, iewers op die langpad, gaan daar hulp naby wees. Maar soos ons weet uit die deuntjie wat in die kop bly draai. Wat kos hierdie nuwe model wat gou staatmakerstatus gaan verwerf? Die 1.6 Quest wat ons getoets het, sal die nuwe eienaar R174 900 uit die sak jaag. Die outomatiese weergawe R198 900 en die windmaker Plus R197 900. Die Quest word gedek deur ’n waarborg van drie jaar/100 000 km en ’n diensplan van drie jaar/45 000 km. www.galimoto.co.za.

22 HermanusTimes Ford is set to introduce new range of cars 24 July, 2014
Ford is bringing 25 new vehicles to Middle East and Africa by 2016. Responsible for Middle East and Africa, responsible for 67 markets, Ford’s established structures aim to support growth in the region and one Ford strategy will see a growing lineup of new or refreshed vehicles entering the market. Thus Ford announced that it is bringing 25 new vehicles to Middle East and African markets by 2016, as part of its aggressive expansion plans in its newest business unit, Middle East and Africa (MEA). Spanning from Saudi Arabia to South Africa, and Nigeria to Kenya, Ford’s new
MEA unit is comprised of 67 markets. “Ford is bringing a full family of safe, high quality, fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive cars, trucks and SUVs to customers throughout the Middle East and Africa region. MEA is the final frontier for global growth in the auto industry and thanks to the power of our One Ford plan, we are able to offer vehicles here that our customers want and value,” said Jim Benintende, president, Ford Middle East and Africa. Vehicle sales in the MEA are expected to grow by 40 percent by the end of the decade to 5,5 million vehicles. Ford is putting the right structures and people in place in order to
bring a full family of vehicles that customers will want, to the region. Ford’s MEA business unit underscores Ford’s commitment to customers in a region where Ford and Lincoln sales grew up to 60 percent in the past four years. To take advantage of growth opportunities, Ford has combined the four regions of North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa and the Middle East into a single business unit, with all sales, share and financial reporting consolidated for the 67 Ford markets. ThenewFordMiddleEastandAfrica operation - Ford’s fifth global business unit - is headquartered in Dubai. “TheMiddleEastandAfricaregion
is vast and is comprised of very diverse markets with different political, cultural and economic environments. In order to best support the region it has been imperative that we establish a robust operation with a dedicated focus and clear understanding of the unique conditions and customer needs in these markets,” Benintende said. To attain that dedicated focus and support the diversity of the markets, Middle East and Africa is now being managed in two sub-regions South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa. While regional operations are headquartered in Dubai, Ford main-

tains regional offices in both South Africa and Dubai. “The new business unit will give the region the focus it deserves and help spearhead Ford’s continued growth in emerging markets. Africa is one of the youngest markets in the world, and there is an opportunity to provide an affordable product for the people of the continent,” he continued. Benintende emphasised that prioritiesincludesupportingFord’s dealer network throughout the Middle East and Africa to service customer needs. Ford currently sells about 200 000 vehicles a year throughout the Middle East and Africa region.

DOGSbody does it again! The DOGS played an individual Stableford (log) on 22 July in Kleinmond. Rory’s great victory at Royal Liverpool was overshadowed by DOGSbody’s own unlikely back-to-back double at Royal Kleinmond. The highlight of his round was holing a 130 m approach on the second hole; with clever course management to avoid having to putt to a tricky pin position. The Ex-Pole-Dancer came close but his game is being affected by recent revelations on Facebook concerning his femi-

SEA SCOUTS GO FISHING: Hermanus Sea Scouts went to sea recently as part of a sustainable fishing workshop organised by the Walker Bay Ski Boat Club in the New Harbour. Legendary commercial fisherman Eugene Le Roux (far left), who has fished these waters for over 60 years, together with fellow skippers (from left) Johan Pretorius, Tjaart Olivier (chairman) and Walter Mapham (secretary, on the right) passed on their knowledge and experience to the youngsters. The trip followed a training workshop that covered fishing identification, seamanship, boat etiquette and knots. The Scouts learnt to identify fish on the green list and several experienced the thrill of taking home and eating fish that they themselves caught. Scout Master Peter de Kock said that this wonderful experience will create awareness of our environ ment and lay the foundation for future fishermen.
Die skaakwin terskool is die afgelope vakan sie in Hermanus aangebied en het die jong klomp die kans gegee om hul spel op te knap.
Golfers at Hermanus Golf Club enjoyed good weather and some even better golf. On Tuesday Ladies’ day, 38 players competed in an individual bogey plus and coming out tops in the silver division was Cheryl Richardson on +3, and winning the bronze division was Sue Franck on the same terrific score. On Wednesday it was the men’s turn with 116 players enjoying a betterball stableford. Winning the day this week was local law-man Jacques du Toit and partner Rein Kelder on a wonderful 49 points. In second place one shot behind was no stranger to the prize table Johnny Rhodes and his partner Andrew Gunn. Saturday cleared up to be a lovely day and 96 players enjoyed a very friendly alliance tournament. Winning the north course on 87 points was again Johnny Rhodes, Gerry Coates, Floors Venter and Manni Kantor. Many thanks to my own playing partners Andrew “the tame gorilla” Philip, John Reynell, André Sherriff. We managed to dovetail well and ended up winning the day on the South Course with 92 points. The ball pool paid to 85 and there were only three two clubs. No one won the jackpot, which now stands at R1 195. The club’s star Brodie team was in action in the knockout stages of the league. It was a tough game against the Stellenbosch side but the Hermanus side – Stephen van der Merwe and his team, triumphed with 5.5 to 2.5. The team is now in the quarter finals. Until next week’s round up, keep calm and go golfing.

Winterskool vir skaak Sowat 20 “skakertjies” tussen 5 en 14 jaar oud het ewe entoesiasties elke dag ingeklok vir raad, rigting en die skaaf aan hul skaakvermoëns tydens die afgelope skaak-winterskool. Die beginners se sessies was van 09:00 tot 11:00 en die meer gevorderde spelers het van 13:00 tot 15:00 aangemeld. Murison en Rhoda Kotzé van die Kip McGrath Education Centre in Mitchellstraat
