Hoorsê | Hearsay ) Ouers wat reeds moeg is vir die skoolvakansie moet liewer nie dink aan die einde van die maand se lang vakansie nie. Diegene wat wel verlof kan neem, hoef slegs drie dae af te vat om ’n hele 11 dae vakansie te hou. Dalk moet ons eerder sommer nou ook Kersfees en Nuwejaar hou en klaarkry met alles. ) Tik-verslaafdes of bende-lede was vermoedelik verantwoordelik vir die aanval op ’n fietsryer verlede week in Brugstraat, Paarl. Diewe wil nou fietse onder mense begin uitsteel.
Beautiful month MANY say that October is the most beautiful month, but then April is not far behind. Currently balmy autumn weather is predicted, the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors without the sweltering summer heat. Today will be cool at 24°C, but tomorrow it warms up to 31°C. And the weekend promises to be almost picture perfect at 33°C and 35°C.

Wind farm for Gouda? Anne Kruger A WIND farm is on the cards for Gouda, and a public participation process regarding the environmental impact assessment of the project has been launched by Aurecon. The project, known as iNca Gouda Wind Pty Ltd, proposes to construct a wind energy facility to generate approximately 30 megawatts of electricity, consisting of 20 turbines of 1,5 MW each, near the town. Two 66kV overhead powerlines will be constructed to connect to the Eskom grid at the Gouda substation, which is less than 1 km from the proposed wind farm. Authorisation must be obtained from the Department of Environmental Affairs via the impact assessment process. According to Ian McGregor, head of development at iNca Energy.the Gouda project is one of 11 wind projects currently in the pipeline from this company, including a lar-
WIND. Scenes like this may be in the pipeline for Gouda, if a wind farm project goes ahead. ger one near Moorreesburg. The positioning of wind farms is affected by local wind speed, and proximity and connectibility to the Eskom grid. iNca is a renewable energy company with
51% South African ownership (including the Cosatu Investment Trust) with the remainder held by a French company (iNca Enercy France). According to McGregor, there are no commercial wind farms in South Africa which are up and running, except the one in Darling, due to delays in legislation. It is hoped that licence approval will be obtained by October, after which construction will take another year. A number of permanent jobs will be created once the wind farm has been completed, including maintenance and security, while a small percentage of the proceeds will be paid out to a local community development trust. To register as an interested or affected party in the project, contact Aurecon before 11 May on 021-481-2501, fax 021-424-5588, email nicole.petersen@aurecongroup.com or write to her at PO Box 494, Cape Town, 8000.

DA controls council meeting Anne Kruger FACTIONALISM within the ANC may have led to the poor attendance of the recent town council meeting of Drakenstein on Wednesday. The Boland ANC is known to be severely split between groups supporting the Fransman leadership, and those opposing it. Amongst the ANC/NNP councillors absent from the meeting was Abe Bekeer, Fransman’s deputy in the ANC Western Cape. Bekeer is likely to be the ANC’s mayoral candidate for the election in Drakenstein. The Fransman faction is in the minority in the Boland, and there has been bitter in-fighting locally regarding the nomination of candidates. Only 22 councillors from the ANC/NPP coalition attended the

meeting, leaving the 25 councillors of the DA coalition in the majority. This meant that a closed meeting to discuss the forensic report of the internal auditor (regarding matters like the acquisition of flags for the Soccer World Cup without a tender process) left the ANC in troubled waters. When the DA motion calling for an external audit was carried, ANC councillors abruptly terminated the meeting by walking out. The audit could leave some senior officials in hot water over matters like the purchase of the World Cup flags. The matter can however only betabledaftertheelectionwhich takes place on 18 May, as the next council meeting at the end of April has been set aside for approval of the budget.
