Stadsraad faal rolstoelgebruikers JANNIE HOUGH ’n Voortslepende gesukkel om ’n swakgevulde opening langsaan die parkeerplek vir rolstoelgebruikers voor Checkers in Da Gamaweg op te vul, maak sommige betrokkenes nou warm onder die kraag. Die Kouga-munisipaliteit het vroeër ’n voor vanaf die teerpad by die winkel se ingang verby gegrawe om aan ’n waterpyp te werk wat aan ’n brandkraan gekoppel is. Die voor is opgevul en weer met teer bedek, maar die vulsel het gesak en die hele reparasie nadelig beïnvloed. Volgens Daniel de Villiers het sy buurvrou se voet elf weke gelede by dié swak gerestoureerde voorjie geswik, sy het geval en ’n beentjie in haar voet gebreek. Sy ondervind steeds probleme met die besering. Hy sê hulle het dadelik met die bestuur van Checkers gekontak. Die winkelgroep kan nie verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir die toestand van die parkeerarea nie, en die klaers is meegedeel
Verkeersbeampte in hof ná moord CANDICE BEZUIDENHOUT
dat dit ’n munisipale aangeleentheid is. Die bestuur het ook belowe om die saak met die areabestuurder op te neem. Na verdere skakeling met die winkelgroep se bestuur, het hul met mev. Olivier, (volgens de Villiers ’n lid van die bestuursraad van die gebou), gekontak. Sy is gevra om toe te sien dat daar aandag aan die swak herstelwerk gegee word, maar de Villiers sê sy het aangedring om alles op skrif te ontvang. Tot op hede is nog niks aan die saak gedoen nie. De Villiers sê hulle ontevredenheid is nie misplaas nie, want in weerwil van die gevaar aan die swak herstelwerk verbonde, ontvang die eienaars van die gebouekompleks huurgeld, maar nóg die gebou se administrateurs, nóg die munisipaliteit lyk bereid om iets aan die saak te doen. Intussen stop daar gereeld motors langs die plek waar die voortjie na die gebou toe draai, en dít is waar die probleem die ergste is. Die klaers wil nie probleme veroorsaak nie, maar vra slegs dat elke betrokkene sy deel doen.
’n Provinsiale verkeersbeampte wat Sondagoggend in verband met die moord op sy meisie in hegtenis geneem is, het Maandag vir die eerste keer in die landdroshof in Humansdorp op ’n aanklag van moord verskyn. Die saak is tot 26 September vir ’n amptelike aansoek om borgtog uitgestel. Die 40-jarige Denovan Lippert en sy 30-jarige meisie het glo Sondag in die vroeë oggendure by hul huis in ’n stryery betrokke geraak, sê ’n polisiewoordvoerder, kapt. Gerda Swart. “Die meisie het na bewering sy dienspistool in die hande gekry en toe hy dit van haar wou wegneem, het ’n skoot afgegaan. Die slagoffer is noodlottig in die maag gewond.” Lippert is die oggend net ná 09:00 by sy huis in Jacobstraat in hegtenis geneem. Die polisie het op sy vuurwapen beslag gelê en dit is vir ballistiese toetse gestuur. Hy word aangehou.

Kouga bly leeg, al kry opvangsgebied reën LOURENS SCHOEMAN HOEWEL daar reën geval het in die opvanggebied van die byna leë Kougadam (die waterbron vir sitrus- en groenteboere in die Gamtoosvallei in die Oos-Kaap), het daar geen afloopwater in die dam beland nie. Die dam was Maandag slegs 14,22% vol, het Pierre Joubert, uitvoerende hoof van die Gam-
toos-besproeiingsraad gesê, en bygevoeg dat die naweek se reën oor die gebied nie voldoende was om afloopwater na die dam te verseker nie. Sitrusproduksie in die Gamtoosvallei sorg vir van die grootste uitvoere van sitrus na die buiteland, terwyl dit ook as die groentespens van die Oos-Kaap bekendstaan. Tans voer boere in die vallei ’n stryd om oorlewing, omdat die jaarlikse watertoekenning vir die 2017-’18-waterjaar met 60% gesny
is weens die voortslepende droogte. Die waterjaar het op 1 Julie begin. Volgens Joubert sou die normale jaarlikse toekenning aan produsente 8 000 kubieke meter per hektaar beloop het. Omdat die toekenning nou slegs 40% is, kry hulle net 3 200 kubieke meter per hektaar vir dié waterjaar. “Die departement van waterwese het die toekenning gegrond op ’n aanname dat daar geen water die Kougadam binnevloei nie,
maar daar is altyd regdeur die jaar water wat invloei,” het Joubert gesê. “Tot dusver vaar die besproeiers goed met die aanwending van die veel minder water. Ons het met die aankondiging van die streng waterbeperking ’n dringende beroep op waterverbruikers gedoen om die water egalig deur die jaar te versprei, anders kan die toekenning sommer vroeg in die waterjaar opgebruik wees.”
Society of South Africa (Wessa), who is the national implementing partner of the programme, a total of 58 Blue Flags were awarded last year, including, 45 beaches, five marinas and eight sustainable tourism boats. Dolphin Beach at Jeffreys Bay was among the recipients. Launched in 1987, the Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label that focuses on the conserva-
tion of marine and coastal habitats. It is designed to provide environmental education, raise awareness and promote sound environmental practices among tourists, local populations and beach managers. Applications are put through a rigorous multi-stage approval process involving both national and international assessments.
J’Bay to host national Blue Flag launch COASTAL municipalities from around South Africa will gather in Jeffreys Bay next month for the national launch of the Blue Flag programme for the 2017/2018 season. Kouga Executive Mayor Elza van Lingen said about 200 guests, including Deputy Tourism Minister Elizabeth Thabethe, were expected to attend the launch. “It is a great honour for Kouga to have been
chosen to host the event. Our seaside towns are among the most popular holiday destinations in South Africa and we are proud to be associated with a programme that promotes excellence in the management of marine and coastal habitats,” she said. The launch will take place at Dolphin Beach, Jeffreys Bay, on October 4. According to the Wildlife and Environment
Youth Forum to be launched KOUGA Municipality would like to invite all young people and youth organisations to the launch of ward-based Youth Forum at Ward 4 in Humansdorp this evening. The target age is young people aged from 16 to 35 years old. Social Services Portfolio Councillor, Daniel Benson, said the launch of the forums for Wards 3, 5, 8 and 11 took place earlier this week. The launch of the Ward 4 Youth Forum will take place at 18:00 this evening (21 September) at the Kruisfontein Civic Centre. “The purpose of Youth Forums is to allow young people to participate actively in gov-

We look forward to getting young people from these five wards on board as well,” he said. He encouraged young people to attend the launch. “For these platforms to be successful, young people from all walks of life and interests need to get involved, be it business, agriculture, sport, school, arts and culture, faith-based organisations, politics, community policing, the unemployed and those fighting against drug and substance abuse.”

SWAN OF BRISAN
Tour the canals of St Francis Bay MONIQUE BASSON WHETHER you are here for a day or an extended vacation, no visit to St Francis Bay is complete without a canal tour. Built in 1967, the canal system has become a leading tourist attraction that is popular with both locals and visitors. So, hop on board a boat and cruise around the expansive network of canals. The water flows into places and past landmarks that cannot be accessed from the street, bringing explorers up close to some of the town’s most incredible sites that would otherwise go unnoticed. The canals furthermore offer spectacular views of the mountains of the Groot Winterhoek and nearby farmlands, and is a haven for wildlife and over 40 different species of birds. It even gives visitors a glimpse of the 1km secret beach. The Swan of Brisan Starting from the small harbour on the canals in St Francis Bay, board The Swan of Brisan and take a leisurely 7km cruise through the unique and picturesque St Francis Canals to the entrance of the Kromme River with Captain Kevin MacInnes. “Originally established as a small fishing camp by the late Leighton Hulett in 1954, his insistence on a specific style of architecture ensured the development of a village that is a harmonious blend of black and white homes, set against a background of azure sea

and linked by canals,” says MacInnes as he navigates his boat through the older side of the canals. Or as he calls it: “the wrong side of the canals” which boasts the three ugly sisters - three of the oldest houses formerly owned by three ugly sisters. There is even a blind canal, home to the only optometrist in the town. “These houses are in sharp contrast to the more modern houses on the opposite side of the canal that can cost up to R30 million,” says MacInnes. “With only 16 properties left, some 85% of properties are holiday homes. Holiday season sees the usually quiet town transform into Sandton@Sea for the rich and shameless,” says MacInnes laughingly. “But once the visitors have left, I am the stud of the town: I am a scallywag and I have a boat.” Passing the homes of the rich and famous, one enters the main canal where the oldest house Moon River - still stands proud, parallel with the river. The canals are furthermore home to 17 restaurants. For more information, contact MacInnes from The Swan of Brisan at 083 266 7824.

Anglers create innovative wheel MONIQUE BASSON TWO local anglers are set to add a design of their own to the list of man’s greatest inventions: the ultimate ‘fishing’ wheel. Tired of constantly struggling with conventional wheels on their fishing trolleys, Springbok Freshwater Angler Johan Jansen and Protea Rock and Surf Angler Theo Herbst joined forces to find the ultimate solution to their ‘flat’ problem: an all-terrain, multi-purpose and puncture-free wheel.
Starting from scratch, they perfected their invention in six months. After trying various different inventions ranging from pool noodles and tubes on empty cable reels to balloon tyres, the Ultimate Wheel rolled out. “We wanted to design a wheel that is light and wide enough not to get stuck in dry or wet sand,” says Jansen. “This one-of-a-kind wheel in South Africa, that focuses primarily on the angling fraternity, is truly unique. It is maintenance and puncture free, light weight, durable and versatile.” “A flat tyre will no longer put an abrupt end to angling trips.” According to Jansen, apart from a fishing trolley, it is also a perfect fit for a golf cart, as well as kayak and jet ski trailers. The wheel is 420mm in diameter with a vacuum formed HDP body that is UV-friendly, while the bush is made of high quality plastic. “If needed, the busy and tyre section can be replaced at a minimum cost,” says Jansen. For more information, contact Jansen or Herbst from JT Innovations at 083 671 0160 or 072 286 6697. Alternatively, send an email to JTInnova2017@gmail.com.

Lilizela awards to celebrate tourism ambassadors THE Eastern Cape MEC for the Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEDEAT) Honourable Sakhumzi Somyo, together with the Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency (ECPTA), will celebrate tourism excellence in the province during the Lilizela Provincial Tourism Awards at the Hemmingways Casino today. The Lilizela Provincial Tourism Awards are a national government initiative aimed at promoting tourism transformation, service excellence, entrepreneurship, thriving and sustainable tourism. The awards act as a voice of the people, as the public are given a chance to share their experiences of province’s tourism offerings and establishments - by voting for what they appreciate and want to see grow. This way the tourism sector is kept competitive and continues to provide responsive services and experiences that develop the sector within and beyond. The awards also profile milestones of the tourism sector, while tabling its challenges for collective address and resolutions. Since their inception five years ago, the awards have grown from 75 entries in 2013 to 542 in 2017. Eastern Cape participants have been leading as the most active province nationally displaying a huge commitment by businesses towards responsible tourism that positively impacts the country’s economic growth. According to ECPTA’s CEO, Vuyani Dayimani, finalists and winners do not only set the standard for global excellence, but demonstrate why South Africa and its provinces, including the Eastern Cape continue to be one of the most frequently visited destinations by tourists from all over the world.

PERSOONLIKHEID VAN DIE MAAND
Jozef Wolhuter: geohidroloog van formaat JANNIE HOUGH HY is vanjaar 85, het ’n onkreukbare rekord as geo-hidroloog en myn-geoloog, en van al die praters rondom die berugte “causeway” oor die Seekoeirivier het hy waarskynlik die mees outoritêre mening. Hy is Jozef Wolhuter, Hoër Volkskool in Heidelberg, B.Sc. in Geologie en Fisika by Maties, en outoriteit op die gebied van ondergrondse en bogrondse water sedert die dae toe hy ’n reuse-bydrae gelewer het in die mynbedryf in Suid-Afrika. Deesdae het hy en sy vrou ’n pragtige woonhuis in Eedenglen, maar sy fut is nog lank nie uit nie – nie solank die betrokkenes by dinge soos die Aston-/Paradys-spoelbrug sukkel om die probleem op te los nie. Eintlik, sê hy, is daar geen probleem nie, behalwe dat die brug se ligging verkeerd is. Vêrder terug met die rivierloop, waar die Seekoei- en sy buur-rivier nie breed loop nie, is die ideale plek vir twee relatief goedkoop brûe, wat die Paradysenaars na Jeffreysbaai kan neem. Vir verskeie dekades was hy aktief by dié stryd betrokke. Hy het sy kennis aangewend om met die munisipaliteit te kontak en raad te gee, maar tot op hede het sy en ander se pogings op dowe ore geval. Dié lomp hantering
van die saak, en vele ander water-verwante probleme, was vir hom n bron van frustrasie, omdat hy passievol is oor waterbronne en die korrekte hantering daarvan. Sy verdere oplossing lê in die gebruik van die kanaal wat lank gelede teen ’n paar miljoen deur ’n siviele ingenieur vir die natuurlike vloei van die water geskep is en lankal oorgroei en in onbruik is – waarom, weet niemand nie. Ná Maties wou hy nie veldwerk doen nie, maar het hy as myngeoloog by Randfontein Estates en Westonaria gewerk. Hier het hy by kartering van ondergrondse boorgate betrokke geraak. Omdat riwwe skuif, is eksplorasie belangrik, en kartering dui die ligging van riwwe aan en waar presies geboor moet word. As geo-hidroloog het hy gepoog om alles van water te weet wat te weet is. Hy definieer: “Die wat, die waarvandaan en waarheen, die hoë en wanneer en hoekom van (veral) ondergrondse water.” Sy loopbaanhoogtepunte was die suksesvolle ontwatering van die Gemsbokfontein-kompartement en die uitstaande kartering van boorgate by die Doringkop-myn. Die posisie van boorgate, planne van ondergrondse riviere en verwagte verskuiwings was deel hiervan. Waar hy betrokke was by Westonaria, het geen sinkgate ontstaan nie, omdat sy benadering tot ontwatering en dolomiet-gedrag
anders was as dié wat by bv. Carletonville aangewend is. Die hele land ken die tragi-komedie van dié dorp se sinkgate. Jozef het die wêreld redelik plat gereis, beide as afgevaardigde en intelligente toeris. Lande wat hy besoek het, sluit in die VSA (NASA-kongres en besoek aan ses universiteiteite), Europa, in 1999 weer VSA waartydens hy byna 45 000 km per trein deur dié grootse land gereis het. In 2010 per skip na Italië, en ’n 10-dae toer deur Afrika. Hy besit ’n imponerende hoeveelheid dokumente, veral rondom die Seekoeirivier-probleem, waarin hy wetenskaplik aandui wat gedoen behoort te word. Van sy vroeëre werk as myngeoloog wil hy by die Noordwes-Universiteit inhandig vir moontlike publikasie en vir hul argiewe, omdat hulle die naaste aan die betrokke myne geleë is. Sy werk is voor die rekenaar-dae gedoen, maar bevat verbysterende fyn detail en tekeninge van uitstaande gehalte. Hy is getroud met Rachel (“met ’n ch!”) – ’n borrelende, aangename mens wat twaalf jaar sy junior is en wat die ernstige Jozef met humor en ’n tikkie vroulike tergery hanteer. Sy seun werk as meganiese lugvaartingenieur in Boston, VSA en sy een dogter is doktersvrou en die ander ingeniersvrou. Hy is nog lank nie klaar geleef nie en het
na sy aftrede landmeterwerk gedoen. As hy lees, lees hy Die Burger en wetenskaplike werke. Punt. Tans speel hy lekker met elektriese treintjies, en soos ek sy soort B.Sc.-mense ken, is dit ’n plesier en leerervaring om dié stokperdjie saam met hom te geniet.
Jozef Wolhuter het ’n onkreukbare rekord as geohidroloog en myngeoloog, en van al die praters rondom die berugte “causeway” oor die Seekoeirivier het hy waarskynlik die mees outoritêre mening. FOTO:JANNIE HOUGH
The Nifty Fifties: still going strong JANNIE HOUGH THEY are alive and well, living and laughing, travelling and belying the words of an old jingle, “Forceful fifties, serious sixties, sacred seventies, aching eighties.” They are the Nifty Fifties, an initiative started in 2000 by the present chair-lady, Margaret Crouse, to motivate fifty-year olds and older to continue socializing, enjoying one another’s company, and retaining their dignity as active and worthy members of society. The Members of the Nifty Fifties regularly undertake ventures like short tours, social gatherings, outings and an annual fashion show.

present chairman is John Botha. The club, though originally initiated by Margaret, a member of the Methodist church, stretches beyond the boundaries of church doors. The original number of 60 members has grown to a whopping 350 active middle-aged and elderly people. Members regularly undertake ventures like short tours, social gatherings, outings and an annual fashion show. This year was no different, and the fashion show was presented in the Methodist community hall on Wednesday13 September at 14:00. The two categories were smart and casual, and ladies of the club acted as models. The show was sponsored by Milady’s for the first two years, and after that by Foschini.

Roos brings the fun back to his game MICHAEL VLISMAS LIKE most professional golfers, Jake Roos is searching for something. And amidst an incredible run of form on the Sunshine Tour, it seems he has found it. Roos heads into Thursday’s first round of the Vodacom Origins of Golf at St Francis Links having finished in the top 10 in four of his last five tournaments. And the fifth event was a finish of 11th. His good form has been a combination of the six-month break he took from the game in the first half of 2016, some drastic swing changes he made earlier this year, and perhaps the most important ingredient – a search for fun. “Sometimes we try too hard out here. My focus now is to do my bit, go out and play, and have fun. “The swing changes I made were pretty drastic, but they have given me a lot more con-
sistency. I’m finding myself up on the leaderboard a lot more where I want to be. “I think a bunch of things I’ve been working on has just given me a bit more peace of mind. Then again, golf is so fickle so I won’t say I have any solution to the game. I’m not trying to over-analyse it too much.” In terms of the fun side of golf, Roos has been in his element in the two-day pro-am section of this year’s Vodacom Origins of Golf series, and where he’s brought in a new innovation for the amateurs. “I bought a TrackMan golf radar at the start of the year largely for my own game. But I thought it could add some value for the amateurs and sponsors at these tournaments. So we set up on a particular hole and the golfers predict how far they think they’ll hit their drive, and then we show them how far it actually went. It’s a lot of fun.” And that’s going to remain the theme for Roos this season.

The Coop gives rugby star wings RUGBY star Aswen Rademeyer (12) from Humansdorp is all booted up to represent South Africa in France and Spain at the end of the month - a dream come true. Aswen, a grade 7 learner at Stulting Primary School in Humansdorp, forms part of the Riebeek Vallei Invitational Team that will travel to France and Spain where they will test their skills against some of France’s best rugby teams. They will furthermore participate in a training session and go on some excursions. Aswen’s inclusion in the prestigious team
follows after he was put through his paces at the 2017 Riebeek Vallei Tournament at Riebeek Kasteel Primary School in April this year, where he impressed the panel of professional selectors and was chosen for the final team. Aswen, who plays fly half, will depart with the rest of his team members on September 27 and return on October 6. Thanks to The Co-Op in Humansdorp who played a pivotal role in realising Aswen’s rugby dream by paying for his flight ticket to France.
