Regter staan interdik toe Du P Martins Die volgende stap in die e-tol-hofgeding teen Sanral is om alle inligting te kry wat aanleiding gegee het tot die goedkeuring van die R20 biljoen Sanral-kontrak, het Wayne Duvenhage van die Bondgenootskap teen Stedelike Tol (BTST) Saterdag gesĂŞ. Die (BTST) se geslaagde aansoek om ’n interdik teen Sanral is met groot belangstelling in die openbare galery gevolg. Regter Bill Prinsloo het Saterdag in die hooggeregshof van Pretoria beslis dat die inwerkingstelling van die e-tol uitgestel word. “Die interdik teen die eerste respondent (Sanral) word gehandhaaf en Sanral word daarvan weerhou om heffings vas te stel of te kollekteer. Mense word deur die tolpaaie gevange gehou,â€? het Prinsloo gesĂŞ. Hy het in sy uitspraak ook daarop gewys dat hy besef dat sy bevinding ’n geldelike stremming op Sanral plaas, maar dat dit duidelik is dat talle burgers geldelik sal swaarkry as Sanral toegelaat sou word om voort te gaan. Hy het gesĂŞ dat hy daarvan bewus is dat daar duisende, indien nie tienduisende mense is wat daagliks van die tolpaaie gebruik moet maak en as gevolg daarvan geldelik sal swaarkry.

Street names change Even though the metro was acting within its rights, residents were shocked to see names changed overnight Natalie Grobler and AnĂŠ Roux Residents were extremely unhappy with new street name signs that seemed to have appeared overnight in several areas over the weekend. The Tshwane metro was, however, well within its rights to start the name change
process and an urgent application by AfriForum on Monday to try and put a stop to the process was turned down. New names that have already been put up are Nico Smith Street (Michael Brink), Stanza Bopape Street (Church), Solomon Mahlangu Drive (Hans Strijdom) and January Masilela Drive (General Louis Botha).
Councillors from different areas voiced their frustration regarding the street names, but, according to councillor Elmarie Linde from ward 54, it fell on deaf ears. She said the new policy on local geographical names was approved providing the metro adhered to various conditions. One of these conditions were that the
old names stay visible next to the new names for two years, but the Executive Mayor, Kgosientso Ramokgopa, decided it will only stay visible for six months.

Sanral deur hof gehalt Vervolg van bladsy 1
Adv. Alfred Cockrell SC, wat namens BTST verskyn het, het gesê dat Sanral en die tesourie die waarheid omtrent die e-tolstelsel wegsteek. “Hulle het motoriste laat glo dat hulle geld kan terugeis. Volgens hulle eie weergawe sal daar nie geld daarvoor wees nie, want hulle sê hulle het die geld nodig om hul krediteure te betaal en skuld te delg,” het hy gesê. Duvenhage het gesê dat dit twee tot drie maande kan duur vir die hersiening van die bevel. Regter Prinsloo se aanhoor van die hofsaak was nog aan die gang toe Cosatu en die ANC na vinnige samesprekings ooreengekom het om die regering vir uitstel van die inwerkingtreding van die e-tol-heffing te vra. “Dit sal ’n taakspan bestaande uit die ANC en Cosatu meer kans gee om alternatiewe finansieringsmodelle te ondersoek,” het Keith Khoza, ’n ANC woordvoerder, gesê en daarby toegevoeg dat die ANC van mening is dat dit nie regverdig is dat die tolstelsel in werking kan tree voor daar nie op ’n werkbare oplossing besluit is nie.
Omstrede veldtog gaan voort Natalie Grobler Die omstrede Bontle ke Botho-veldtog gaan voort soos beplan. Volgens Dikeledi Phiri, woordvoerder van die Tshwane-metro, erken daar was ’n fout met die datums tydens die voorlegging van die Bontle ke Botho by die werkwinkel op 11 April by die Ou Raadsaal. “Alhoewel die voorlegging verkeerde datums gereflekteer het, het ’n senior amptenaar reeds tydens die werkwinkel die regte datums gegee.” Dié veldtog het talle wenkbroue laat lig omdat die spertye, volgens deelnemers, onrealisties is. Bontle ke Botho (being beautiful is being human) is ’n poging van die metro se kant om skole, raadslede en inwoners te motiveer om hul omgewings groen te maak. Deelnemers het sowat ’n maand kans om ’n projek van die grond af te kry en in te skryf waar hulle die kans staan om R50 000 te wen. Phiri het gesê die veldtog se datums bly dieselfde tot verdere kennisgewing.
Raadslid Sam Moimane van wyk 58 is een van vele raadslede wat kla oor die onrealistiese spertye van die Bontle ke Botho-veldtog.
Die sluitingsdatum vir die inhandiging van voorstelle was op 30 April en die beoordeling vind plaas van 2 tot 3 Mei en die prysuitdeling is ook in Mei. Volgens Phiri het die metro se departement van omgewingsake ’n brief aan die
provinsiale departement van landbou en landelike ontwikkeling gerig om die datums te verleng. “Ons gaan by die huidige spertye hou totdat ons iets van die provinsie gehoor het.”
Name changes met with resistance Continued from page 1
“This is but one of the reasons why we say the renaming of the 25 streets are not according to policy.” She said during the mediation of renaming the streets, the metro received approximately 3 600 objections regarding the proposed names. “Residents did submit alternative names, but these suggestions were ignored.” The fight is however far from over. Kallie Kriel, CEO of civil rights organisation AfriForum, said they had applied for an urgent High Court interdict to stop
the metro from going ahead with the name changes and were awaiting the ruling. “We are not satisfied with the manner in which the name change process were conducted. That is why we turned to the courts. We are determined to stop the metro from going ahead with their street name changes,” he said. Ben Wannenburg, councillor of ward 50 was also not satisfied with the metro’s street name change procedures. “I am currently in talks with the province to get clarity regarding Zambesi Drive. I want to know how it is possible for the metro to change a provincial road. It doesn’t work like that.”
According to Wannenburg, he had submitted a petition with approximately 2 000 signatures against the proposed name change in 2009 and was currently drawing up a second petition to fight for Zambesi Drive. Pieter de Necker, mayoral spokesperson, confirmed that the new street names would be placed along the old street names for the next six months to two years. “It is in the interest of motorists to inform themselves about the new names,” he said. De Necker confirmed the name change process would cost metro taxpayers around R1,7-million.

Gebrek keer dié dief nie om te steel Natalie Grobler Met net een been en krukke het die 40-jarige Phillip Ramashala van Soshanguve oor ’n muur gespring om van die Wonderboompoort-polisie af weg te kom. Ramashala is op 24 April gearresteer nadat hy by verskeie houthuisies by die Capital Park Pre-Primary School ingebreek het. Hy is gearresteer op aanklag van huisbraak, besit van huisbreekgereedskap en betreding. Adjudant-offisier Wanda Olivier, woordvoerder van die Wonderboompoort-polisiestasie, het gesê alhoewel Ramashala net een been het en met krukke loop, het hy tog oor ’n muur gespring en gevlug. “Hy het in die pad gesit en gemaak asof niks gebeur het nie. Ons het hom deursoek en ’n skroewedraaier, afgebreekte slotte, sleutels en ’n sproeier by hom gevind.” Olivier het gesê hoewel die prokureur en aanklaer nie wou glo dat hy skuldig kan wees as gevolg van sy gebrek nie, het adjudant-offisier Ronel Bronkhorst deurgedruk met die ondersoek. Sy het hom ook met vingerafdrukke positief verbind met ’n huisbraak naby Laerskool Villieria waar hy ’n geheuestokkie en ’n radio gesteel het nadat hy by drie klaskamers ingebreek het. Bronkhorst het onder meer gevind dat die beskuldigde voorheen in 2002 vir huisbraak gearresteer was en ’n opgeskorte vonnis ontvang het. In 2005 het hy vyf jaar effektiewe tronkstraf uitgedien weens ’n huisbraak in die Moot-polisiëringsgebied. Hy het in die landdroshof verskyn op aanklag van huisbraak en het agt jaar tronkstraf gekry.
Pensioenarisse verloor korting Volle bedrae vir eiendomsbelasting word steeds by pensioenarisse gehef Pensioenarisse het hul stemme dik gemaak nadat die 40% afslag, wat hulle van die Tshwane-metro ontvang het, op hul eiendomsbelasting verdwyn het. Pensioenarisse het reeds in Maart agtergekom dat die korting waarvoor hulle op hul eiendomsbelasting aansoek gedoen het vir die 2011/12 finansiële jaar, skielik sedert Februarie 2012 verdwyn het en hulle weer vir die volle bedrag aangeslaan word. Raadslid Adriana Randall van wyk 52 het gesê sommige rekeninge is reeds reggestel, maar daar is verskeie ander wat nog nie die 40% korting reflekteer nie. Pensioenarisse is gevra om hul eiendomsbelastingrekeninge dop te hou, en dadelik hul raadslede in kennis te stel indien die bedrag verhoog het sedert Februarie 2012 sodat dit onder die aandag van die metro gebring kan word vir regstelling. Randall het gesê sy het terugvoer van die metro ontvang, wat die probleem as ’n stelselfout toegeskryf het. Sy het gesê die korting is geldig tot Junie 2012, maar op die stelsel was dit geldig tot Februarie 2012. Randall meen dit gaan ure se mannekrag vereis om elke individuele pensioenaris se korting weer deur te voer. “Dit is ’n jammer dat dit veral pensioenarisse is wat nou geraak is, want duisende bejaardes lewe van die hand na die mond en so ’n fout het ’n daadwerklike impak op hul begrotings.” Randall het ook bevestig dat die aansoekvorms vir pensioenariskortings op eiendomsbelasting vir die 2012/13 finansiële jaar teen Julie 2012 beskikbaar sal wees. Pensioenarisse word aangemoedig om, indien hul aan die kriteria sou voldoen, aansoek te doen vir die korting.
Pensioenarisse se 40% korting op hulle eiendomsbelasting reflekteer nie op hulle rekeninge nie. Raadslede vra dat pensioenarisse hulle rekeninge moet dophou, en dadelik hul raadslede in kennis stel indien die bedrag verhoog het sedert Februarie 2012.

Manage your finances Promotion We work hard throughout our life as adults to provide the best standard of living we can for our families and it’s vital that we make sure that we protect our hardearned money along the way. Managing your finances can be a juggling act that is often confusing and overwhelming. Knowing you have life’s expenses under control is an excellent way to avoid future stress or unnecessary worry. With so much advice on how to increase or invest your income and so many ways to spend it, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. However, don’t worry, we’re here to offer you tips on planning, saving, investing and managing your finances and will put you on the path to financial success. Step 1: Acknowledge the importance of your own goals. Ask yourself what do you dream of one day? Owning a business, further education, a new car, perhaps a trip around the world. Write down your top priorities and stick them up inside your wardrobe door or on your fridge. A constant reminder will make the dream seem more real and keep you motivated. Step 2: Manage household expenses so your ability to save is not compromised. If money is tight in a specific month, look at ways to trim household expenses. - Compare prices on websites before you buy. - Buy according to plan, make a list and buy only what is on it. - Take advantage of sales and special offers. - Make the most of your petrol, keep your car serviced and your tyres correctly pumped. - Go through your home and look for ways to save energy and costs. Step 3: Pay yourself first. It’s important to establish the habit of saving by starting a monthly investment.
Treat your savings like a bill, preferably paid by debit order. Put the money into an investment fund towards your big goal. Step 4: Decide where to invest. Investing in unit trusts is a popular choice. They give you access to a diversified portfolio without the stress of managing it yourself and if you need to, you can access your money within one day. Most importantly, they have the potential to offer excellent returns over the medium to longterm investment. There are literally thousands of local and international unit trusts available to South Africans, so how do you decide what’s right for you? The trick is to keep it simple. Old Mutual Unit Trusts’ Classic 5 Investment Collection makes unit trusts even more convenient with a range of five handpicked funds, chosen out of a range of 40 unit trusts, which we believe are the perfect investment vehicles for most types of investors. With the Classic 5 Investment Collection, you can choose a fund to meet your specific needs, depending on whether you want a lower risk fund or a higher risk fund, which looks for maximum growth. Then you can use this fund or funds if you choose more than one, as the basis of your portfolio. You can switch between them as your needs change, or you can add other funds from our full fund offering. Bottom line, you call the shots. For more information about which investments to choose, phone us on 0860 WEALTH (932584) or contact an Old Mutual financial adviser or broker. You can also use our ‘InvestRight Tool’ online at www.investmentcollection. co.za to help establish how much you will need to save and invest to meet your financial goals, be they short, medium or long-term. With self-motivation, commitment and discipline, you can achieve your financial goals and take control of where your money goes. Start today to reach your dreams.

Editorial COMMENT It was reported last week that water would become very expensive from next year. Government is planning a massive budget outlay of R573-billion over the next ten years to try to improve our ailing water supply. Last week Diepsloot experienced massive water supply problems with contaminated water. This has placed the focus again on the problems South Africa faces in this regard. Geographically speaking South Africa has always faced and will always have problems with water supply. The absence of a fresh water non-seasonal river and high altitude exacerbates the problems to supply water to its industrial and agricultural heartland. One commentator pointed out that neither Johannesburg or Pretoria should really 4 5/ 6 - ' $ 5 .6 *

exist. They can do so only because huge amounts of water are being piped to them from Lesotho and 1 820 meters uphill from KwaZulu-Natal. South Africa faced an electricity supply problem because the government ignored the warnings it was given more than ten years ago. The same situation is now facing us with water supply. A combination of polluted water sources and poor management of dams, sewerage works and treatment plants has led to a situation where our water supply is under serious threat. The areas our water originates from, is being damaged by a generalised official disregard for the environmental consequences of industrial activity. A further problem is related to the poor management of informal settlements. With inadequate sewerage systems in place and little provision for the removal of waste, large quantities of waste are washed into rivers, where they make their way to overburdened water purification plants. Many South African municipalities do not have budgets big enough to properly manage the quality of drinking water they supply. In a recent national survey of wastewater treatment plants it was found almost a third required ‘immediate intervention to avoid a crisis’. The problems are exacerbated by poor management of dams, which reduce the supply of water we have available and also affects its quality. According to a report, only 54% (160 of the 294) dams owned and managed by the Department of Water Affairs comply with modern safety standards. Water is also affected by the ‘have’s’ and ‘have nots’. South Africa’s tap water is among the best in the world, but with millions still lacking access to flush toilets and piped water, the threat of waterborne diseases cannot be ignored.
Crooks in Bybel ook Kleintyd het ons Cowboys and Crooks gespeel en natuurlik wou niemand die crook wees nie want soos ons almal weet, die crooks moet mos doodgeskiet word. Later het ek gedink daar moet baie crooks in die Bybel se tyd gewees het, want so ’n dik boek oor die goed en kwaad dui mos daarop. So in die gesoek na die Bybelse crooks vind ek toe uit dat van die mees gehate crooks in die Bybel die tollenaars was. Net so vind ek toe ook uit dat hulle al toentertyd seker met verkeerskonstabels moes geheul het, want in Psalm 140:6 lees ek: Trotsaards het vir my ’n vangnet gespan en toue; hulle het ’n net uitgespan aan die kant van die pad; strikke het hulle vir my gestel. Sela. Seker maar waar wat die Bybel sĂŞ daar is niks nuut onder die son nie. Te oordeel aan die string organisasies soos AfriForum, Cosatu, Kamer van Koophandel, Transvaalse Landbou-unie, Agriforum, Bondgenootskap teen Stedelike Tol, die DA en die Vryheidsfront Plus wat almal toustaan om Sanral teen die hoogste mas op te hang, dra vandag se tollenaars nog dieselfde etiket as hul Bybelse kollegas. Die kwessie van tol betaal is al erg genoeg. Wat dit vererger, is die geknoeiery van Sanral om ondanks herhaalde beroepe vir eerlike openhartigheid, hulle steeds met voortvarende arrogansie uit die bloute nuwe tariewe afkondig. Dit nogal by wyse van ’n Staatskoerant op Vrydag die 13e, asof die skuiling agter die gedrukte afkondiging regverdiging vir ‘gedane sake’ verleen. Die datum op sigself is insiggewend, want dit is die datum van bygelowe. Nou ja, as hulle die waarheid op diĂŠ
Klippe langs die pad Du P Martins
datum wil yk, dan kan ’n mens met reg vra wanneer kan ’n mens hulle glo. As argitekte van die reÍls en regulasies en hoe daar van die publiek geoes gaan word, het Sanral voor die bekendmaking van die inligting in die staatskoerant al hierdie feite seer sekerlik reeds haarfyn geken. Waarom het Sanral nie voordat hulle in ’n blik gedruk is om voor die hof te verskyn nie die feite bekendgemaak nie? Waarom het Sanral nie toe hulle in ’n vier-uur-lange samespreking met die Verbruikerskommissie was en die geleentheid gehad het om dinge reg te stel, nie toe daarvan melding gemaak nie? Met die verkoop van R20 miljard se effekte wat Sanral vir stelsels ingekry het en die verdere R5 miljard wat Pravin Gordhan, minister van finansies, Sanral gegee het om hulle te help om hul skuld af te betaal, was Sanral in ’n goeie posisie om hul berekeninge te maak van wat hul tariewe moet wees om ’n goeie finansiÍle oes van Jan Alleman te kry. Met dit gesê, kom nog ’n Bybelse waarheid my op wat in Mat 13:12 staan: Want hy wat het, aan hom sal gegee word, en hy sal oorvloed hê; maar hy wat nie het nie, van hom sal weggeneem word, ook wat hy het.

Hondjie se val ontstel Me Coetzee van Clubview skryf: Ek wil net vertel van ’n voorval wat ek en my dogter 19 April by Centurion Mall beleef het. Ons was op pad na ’n restaurant om ontbyt te eet en moes by ’n troeteldierwinkel verbystap. Binne, was twee jong mans besig om klein, en ek bedoel klein, hondjies in die draadvertoonkaste te sit, sommer so drie, vier hondjies gelyk in die hande. Die boonste vertoonkas staan ten minste
1,5m bokant die teÍlvloer, toe die een jong man ’n hondjie laat val. Na die deure geopen het, het my dogter met hulle gaan praat, onnodig om te sê, volgens die man, was die hondjie ongedeerd. Mens kon sommer sien die diertjie het baie seergekry. Ek het gedurende die oggend met verskeie winkeleienaars oor die voorval gesels en selfs die DBV gebel. Wat staan ’n mens te doen? Brief verkort – Redakteur.
Give with love Most people believe that true success and happiness are found in receiving or getting. In other words, a mentality that says: I’m going to get what I can, can what I get and sit on the can; and when I’ve got enough in the can, I’ll be content! Matthew 10:42 (TLB): And if, as my representatives, you give even a cup of cold water to a little child, you will surely be rewarded. This verse says that even the smallest act of kindness, done to the right person and with the right motive, will be rewarded. True Godly love is love that gives. What is given is not important, but the motive and attitude are what matters. Giving to a child speaks of unselfish service, because a child will not normally be able to give something back to you. Think of yourself for a moment – do you live to give or live to receive? Proverbs 11:24-25 (TLB) says: It is possible to give away and become richer! It is
Faith Nevil Norden
also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich. By watering others, he waters himself. The whole worldly system says: “Save to have�, while God says: “Give to get�. Give freely of your time, your energy and your resources and you will be amazed at the joy you experience. When faith gives, then faith can also receive. Why not start today? The world and God are waiting.

REKORD MOOT FRIDAY MAY 4, 2012

All new Opel Astra makes its debut in SA The all new Opel Astra GTC was shown for the first time to the international motoring press at the Frankfurt Motorshow in September last year. Just weeks later this exciting coupe was seen in South Africa for the first time at the Johannesburg International Motorshow where it was announced that the GTC would go on sale in South Africa early in 2012. Now, hot on the heels of its sales debut in Europe, this promise was fulfilled with the arrival of the Astra GTC at GM dealerships around South Africa. GMSA announced it will offer two model variants of the GTC at the launch, the Astra GTC 1.4T Enjoy and the 1.6T Sport. Both offer the latest in small capacity, turbocharged petrol engine technology from Opel. The Astra GTC 1.4T Enjoy offers maximum power of 103kW at 4 900r/min and peak torque of 200Nm over the wide range of 1 850 to 4 900r/min. The Astra GTC 1.6T produces 132kW at 5 500r/min with 230Nm of torque available between 2 200 and 5 400r/min. In both models drive is via a six-speed manual transmission to the front wheels. The dynamic styling of the Opel GTC, with its sculpted profile, sets this model apart in the compact coupe market. Public interest based on early information about the GTC was such that prior to the first official showing of the vehicle and several months ahead of its general availability, Opel received more than 15 000 orders. Unlike most other three-door versions of existing hatch competitors, the Astra GTC was styled as a stand-alone model in the
range. Although based on the Astra platform, the only common exterior elements shared with other members of the Astra family are the exterior rear view mirror surrounds and the radio antenna. The design brief given to the Astra GTC engineering team was to deliver the ultimate expression of Opel’s design language of ‘sculptural artistry meets German precision’ as applied to its current model range. A consideration was overall functionality of the final design. To define the dramatic profile of the vehicle the designers limited themselves to the use of just three key styling lines to create tension and the impression of a sculpted form. The first of these lines is a fine one that sweeps downward from the side door to the bottom of the rear fender and energises the appearance of the body side. The clean frontal design features Opel’s signature centreline crease and is accented by slim ‘eagle-eye’ styled headlamps defined by ‘wing-shaped’ daytime running lights. These bracket the bar mounted chrome emblem that splits the dramatically shaped trapezoidal grille. This imparts a distinct sporty flavour to the frontal styling. The Astra GTC features Opel’s advanced HiPerStrut front suspension, the first time that this system has been implemented on an Astra model. Ideally suited for a compact coupe, HiPerStrut delivers improved ride and handling characteristics as well as a more direct steering response – all desirable characteristics for the more enthusiastic driver. This system was first introduced on the Opel Insignia OPC mid-sized perform-

ance model and uses the Astra’s original suspension pick-up points but reduces the kingpin inclination angle by 44% and shortens the spindle length by 46% compared to the McPherson strut system fitted to other Astra models. Precision, feedback, and confidence were the criteria set for the development of the Astra GTC’s uniquely tailored power steering system. The challenge was to maintain a light steering effort at low speeds but to dial in better feel and response together with a slightly higher steering effort at higher speeds. The GTC’s steering is by a rack and pinion system with speed sensitive electronic power assistance. To ensure the optimum level of driver feel and steering feedback
the electric power assistance motor is mounted directly on the steering rack, as opposed to the usual mounting position on the steering column. With the Opel Astra GTC there is no compromise in functionality despite its coupe design. The Astra GTC offers comfortable seating for five adults with a flexible luggage compartment that can hold between 380l and 1 165l, about 100l more than other vehicles in its class, depending on the seat configuration. There are numerous additional convenience storage areas inside the vehicle. The high quality interior combines sculptured shapes and dynamic lines for a distinctly sporty character enhanced by the choice of upholstery fabrics and colours.

REKORD MOOT VRYDAG 4 MEI 2012
Nuwe Pajero Sport waardige mededinger Bernard K Hellberg Na jare en jare van markoorheersing deur Toyota se Fortuner-gesinsnutsvoertuig het ’n waardige mededinger uiteindelik sy verskyning gemaak. Die 3.2l Pajero Sport ontwikkel ewe veel perde (120kW) as sy mededinger, maar teen R438 500 is die Mitsubishi R20 400 meer bekostigbaar as die 3l Fortuner. Hierbenewens voel die Mitsubishi (nou deel van die Imperial-groep) ook meer stabiel op teer en is die draaisirkel onder moeilike bostoestande ook ietwat beter. Al nadeel is dat die Pajero Sport net ’n tweemodelreeks is. Nou is die Pajero Sport-reeks uitgebrei met die byvoeging van ’n handratmodel. Al die Pajero Sport-modelle word aangedryf deur die kragtige 3,2l-turbodiesel van die Triton en almal het deeltydse 4x4 met laestrek middelewenaar en ’n agterste ewenaarslot. Die byvoeging van die handratmodel beteken dat al hoe meer potensiële kopers hierdie ruim en bekwame veldryvoertuig sal oorweeg danksy die laer prys. Die vyfganghandratkas vul ook die laestrekratkas aan en maak dit ’n keuse vir die ernstigste veldryers. Tot nou toe was die Pajero Sport, wat in 2009 in Suid-Afrika bekendgestel is, net beskikbaar met ’n outomatiese Tiptronic-ratkas. Buite kry die Pajero Sport kopligwassers, in die voorbuffer gemonteer, om dit in lyn te bring met ander modelle in die Mitsubishi-reeks, soos die ASX en die Pajero.
Daar is ook kosmetiese veranderinge aan die ligte. Veranderinge in die kajuit sluit in ’n hersiene instrumenthuls en ventilasiestelknoppe, wat dit ’n moderner voorkoms gee. ’n USB-sok is netjies weggesteek in die rommelkassie en integreer met die RDS-radio, wat ook CD/MP3-funksionaliteit het plus ses luidsprekers. Die leersitplekke spog met ’n nuwe ontwerp en vul die leerkajuit aan. Die temperatuur in die sewesitplekkajuit kan ideaal gereguleer word danksy ’n outomatiese, enkelsone lugversorgingstelsel. Die agterste insittendes hul eie ventilasieopeninge en hulle kan die waaierspoed afsonderlik beheer. Die kontroles van die lugversorgingstelsel is in die dak bokant die twee rye sitplekke gemonteer sodat die agterste insittendes dit maklik kan verstel, terwyl ventilasiekanale in die dakbeslag aangebring is om koel of warm lug aan die tweede en derde ry sitplekke te verskaf. Die handrat- sowel as die outomatiese Pajero Sport-modelle word aangedryf deur ’n 3,2l-turbodiesel met direkte inspuiting, wat 120kW en 343Nm se wringkrag ontwikkel. Dit is ’n Euro-lll dieselenjin wat minderwaardige Suid-Afrikaanse 500dpmdiesel veilig kan hanteer, ideaal vir wanneer jy die boendoes moet aandurf. Die outomatiese model het ’n viergangratkas, terwyl die nuwe handratmodel ’n vyfgangratkas het. Die groot glanspunt van die Pajero Sport is sy gesofistikeerde Super Selectvierwieldryfstelsel met ’n middelewenaar en ’n agterste ewenaarslot. Dit beteken dat
die Pajero Sport gemaklik klaarspeel met die heel strafste veldrytoestande. Hierdie tydrenbeproefde ratkas stel die bestuurder in staat om teen snelhede van tot 100km/h van die 2H-padmodus oor te skakel na die 4H-veldrymodus. Die 4H-stelling gee ’n kragverdeling van 33:67 tussen die vooren die agterwiele onderskeidelik. As die terrein nog strawwer raak, kan die bestuurder oorskakel na die 4HLc-stelling. Die middelewenaar is nou gesluit en daar is ’n kragverdeling van 50:50 tussen die voor- en die agterwiele. Vir uiterste toestande is daar die 4LLc-opsie met die agterste ewenaarslot wat ook gesluit kan word met ’n oordraverhouding van 1,9:1 vir massiewe traksie. Die ryhoogte is meer as voldoende, met baie grondvryhoogte (215mm) vir wanneer strawwe terrein aangepak word. Die toerustingvlak in die
kajuit is be-sonder hoog met leersitplekke, leerstuurwiel met kontroles vir die klankstelsel en snelheidsbeheer, ’n veelinligtingsvertoon, parkeerafstandbeheer, sentrale sluiting met sleutellose toegang, elektriese ruitverstelling voor en agter, ’n outomatiese enkelsonelugversorgingstelsel, elektriese verstelling vir die kantspieëls, wat ook teruggeklap kan word en ’n hoë gehalte Mitsubishi-klankstelsel met ses luidsprekers, AM/FM-radio, CD-speler en ’n MP3-speler. Veiligheidsaspekte sluit in ses veiligheidslugsakke, ABS-remme met elektroniese remkragverspreiding en vastrapbeheer. Geringe kritiek sluit in die plasing van die noodwiel onder die voertuig, die optimistiese spoedmeter wat reeds 120km/h aandui wanneer jy nog op 114km/h sit en ’n ietwat stram ratskakeling (die voertuig was nog nuut).
Die Mitsubishi Pajero Sport hanteer beter op die pad as sy vernaamste teenstander.
New modern, reliable Subaru on the horizon The company will rely on the new XV model together with the Forester model to boost sales in the coming months Bernard K Hellberg With sales in the doldrums for Subaru (91 units sold in March), the arrival of the new Subaru XV is exciting news for the company. In fact, the company will increasingly come to rely on its off-road models (Forester and XV) to boost sales. The Subaru XV has chunky, modern styling, fabulous road holding, superior driver and passenger safety thanks to seven airbags, which include a knee airbag and fully independent suspension all round. Standard features include iPod connectivity, a sunroof and dramatic two-tone
17-inch alloy wheels. Subaru prides itself on rugged, reliable engineering, including such great features as a chair-driven camshaft drive and rattlefree construction. Costly belt-drive is therefore eliminated. Despite the 110kW produced by the flat-four petrol engine, the Subaru XV felt under powered, while the gap between sixth and fifth gear is virtually non-existent. When the car runs out of steam in sixth gear, you may just as well go straight to four. At R339 000 the automatic lineartronic CVT gearbox is a better option. This is R10 000 more than the manual shifter. More good news is the Subaru XV has a comprehensive three-year/75 000km full maintenance plan, a three-year/100 000km warranty and 15 000km service intervals. I predict that the Subaru XV will do to the Forester what Nissan’s Qashqai has done to the X-Trail, overtaking it in sales within the next three months or so.

Distressed properties still a market reality While there were many positive indicators that trading conditions in the South African property market were continuing to improve, distressed properties were still a market reality. This was according to Peter Gilmour, chairman of Remax Southern Africa, who also headed up the group’s specialised distressed property department. Gilmour noted that in January and February this year, Remax of Southern Africa received over 300 new sole mandate distressed property leads from various financial institutions for which the group was one of the preferred partners for handling distressed property sales. To date, Remax agents had already successfully sold 100 of these properties.
“Last year Remax reported that distressed properties spent an average of 48 days on the market and fell predominantly into the R250 000 to R2-million price range,” said Gilmour. He also said that the majority of the distressed properties listed last year by Remax, were situated in Gauteng, which accounted for 70% of the total number of distressed properties compared to the Western Cape’s 10% and KwaZuluNatal’s 20%. Gilmour reported that to date in 2012, distressed properties had come onto the market at an average selling price of R900 000. He also said that close on 80% of these properties had been in Gauteng. Gilmour concluded that while distressed properties would continue to make up a reasonable portion of available market stock in the year ahead, the sales process still required specialised knowledge to ensure a successful solution for both the seller and the financial institution involved. Last year, 70% of Remax’s distressed properties were in Gauteng.
Homeowners want a home with unique story Homes that are architecturally distinctive or which have a rich history, are always in demand in Johannesburg’s sought after northern suburbs. According to Jonathan Davies, Pam Golding Properties joint area manager, who is based at the company’s Hyde Park office, said many buyers particularly at the higher end of the market were specifically looking for homes with which they could identify and that suited their own individual lifestyles. “While we sell properties across all price ranges, in this area we deal with many buyers in the price range from R10-million upwards, who wish to express their individuality and their own personal taste through their homes,” said Davies. Davies also said Pam Golding Properties had a prestigious portfolio of iconic properties that were currently on the market.
“One such exceptional home is situated in Westcliff and is more than 100 years old, it was built in 1902,” said Davies. Davies said when visiting this grand old home, you might find yourself transported back to a gracious time of croquet, masked balls and horse drawn carriages. “This ambience becomes evident upon entering the home through the triple volume entrance hall with its magnificent wooden staircase. The house, marketed by Pam Golding Properties for R16-million, is set among rolling lawns and old Cape ash, jacaranda, peach and fig trees,” said Davies. The house has six bedrooms, all of which have fireplaces and four bathrooms two of which are en suite. There are five reception rooms, including a ballroom and three large garages.
Low maintenance house in small complex This classy face-brick house is situated in Zwartkop in a small complex with easy access to freeways and within walking distance from the Gautrain bus stop. The house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one spacious living area plus a neat kitchen with a pantry. There is a lapa for entertainment and a double garage offers direct access to the property. There is also space for a caravan or trailer. The property is selling at R1,1-million. Enquiries: Estie Watson at Pam Golding Properties on 072-634-4411.

New assistant coach appointed The Easterns Titans franchise, named Malibongwe Maketa as the new assistant coach as from 1 May. “Mali brings a wonderful work ethic to the Nashua Titans team. He is a terrific mentor of young men and an excellent young coach who pushes his players to be the best they can be,” said Elise Lombard, CEO of the Easterns Titans franchise. “I am delighted that Mali agreed to be the Nashua Titans assistant coach. After an exhaustive search he was the standout candidate and I am looking forward to working with him in future. Mali

brings a wealth of experience to the post and I am sure we will learn a lot from each other in the coming months and seasons. He has a great way with the players and he will help them develop to reach their maximum potential,” said Matthew Maynard, coach of the Nashua Titans. Previously Maketa was part of the winning Nashua Titans team. He came to the Nashua Titans as an assistant along with former coach Richard Pybus, in the 2006/07 seasons, where they enjoyed a successful partnership, winning five trophies in the twoyear period. Prior to that, he was a professional coach at the Western Province Preparatory School for a year. Maketa was appointed the Northerns Provincial amateur coach in May 2008. Under his guidance, the Northerns amateur team won the CSA one-day challenge and T20 trophies. He has also been a part of the national academy as assistant coach for the past two seasons. He travelled as assistant to Corrie van Zyl during the recent South African tour to Sri Lanka.

Pretoria yields new Muay Thai world champion Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand, and is a martial art with origins in the ancient (Boran) battlefield tactics of the Siamese army. Muay Thai, or Muay Boran, fights feature punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling, and head-butts to wear down and knock out an opponent. Muay Thai Boran training methods develop devastating power, speed, and superb cardiovascular endurance, as well as fighting spirit. Muay Thai Boran South Africa selects a team to attend the World Championships in Thailand each year through a series of eight tournaments that culminate in a selection final at the Ambassador’s Cup, supported by the Royal Thai Embassy. This year’s team collectively brought home a gold medal, three silver medals, and a bronze medal. Drikus Schutte (18) stood proud and tall as they raised

the South African flag during the presentation of his gold medal at this year’s World Championships in Bangkok. The road to becoming the new World Champion is his personal story of heart, determination and focus, and a ‘nevergive-up’ attitude. Drikus started learning the martial art of Muay Thai at the age of 14 at Tiger Dragon Fight Gym in Newlands, Pretoria. He was quick to learn, but his age and size made it difficult to
find suitably matched opponents. Due to his determination to progress, he tested his skills against bigger and stronger boys and men, and shrugged off his early defeats with his mind fixed on bigger goals. At 16, Drikus was selected for his first World Championships as a member of the Muay Thai Boran South Africa (MSA) team. He found himself measured against the strongest Muay Thai nations in the world.
Geen einde in sig vir dié judoskeidsregter en afrigter Koos Venter Hy het reeds byna 5 000 provinsiale en meer as 500 nasionale kampioene afgerig, maar ná 60 jaar se betrokkenheid by sy geliefde sport is Hennie Pretorius se blus nog lank nie uit nie.
Daar loop nie ’n meer suksesvolle en geliefde judo sensei in Suid-Afrika rond nie, maar Pretorius bly nederig oor al sy prestasies. Baie oningeligte mense glo dat alle deelnemers aan Oosterse gevegskunste se geloofslewe deur
hul sport beïnvloed word, maar Pretorius maak dit vinnig af as bog. Hy getuig maklik oor sy eie Christenskap. As ’n mens luister na die invloed wat hy veral op honderde kinders se lewens gehad het in sy lang loopbaan, is sy getuienis
Pretoria se eie judo-legende, Hennie Pretorius, het pas sy 60e jaar van betrokkenheid by dié sport gevier.
inderdaad nie net praatjies nie. Pretorius glo dat judo een van die beste sportsoorte is om deelnemers en kinders in besonder, se lewens drasties te verander. Veral kinders wat sukkel met selfvertroue of wat uit ’n ongebalanseerde agtergrond kom, lê hom na aan die hart. Hy vertel dat daar niks lekkerder is as om so ’n kind te sien groei as sportman én as mens nie. Dié 74-jarige judofanatikus se eie verhaal is egter net so merkwaardig. Hy het tien jaar gelede reeds vir sy sesde dan gegradeer en hy word regoor die wêreld gereken as een van die sport se mees invloedryke kenners. Sy pad het dié sport reeds in 1952 gekruis toe hy nog ’n tiener was. As jong sportman verteenwoordig hy die ou Oos-Transvaal en in 1960 begin hy ook as skeidsregter optree. In dié hoedanigheid het hy ook al internasionale erkenning gekry. Sedert 1969 tree hy al by internasionale byeenkomste op en hy is steeds geakkrediteerd as skeidsregter by die Internasionale Judo Federasie (IJF). Dit is egter as afrigter wat Pretorius soveel sukses behaal
het dat die judo-gemeenskap van Suid-Afrika inderdaad al vir hom ’n standbeeld kan bou. Hy het byna 40 jaar gelede uit sy werk as ambagsman bedank, ’n judosaal langs sy huis in Kilnerpark in Pretoria aangebou en voltyds begin afrig. Sedertdien het hy nog verskeie ander klubs help stig en die lys van beroemde judokas wat deur hom afgerig is, is eenvoudig te lank om op te noem. Meer as 15 000 judokas het sy pad as leerlinge gekruis sedert hy in 1964 begin afrig het. Sy leerlinge het al wêreldwyd presteer en 79 judokas het hul nasionale kleure onder sy afrigting ontvang. Hy het ook al ’n wêreldkampioen en verskeie medaljewenners op wêreldkampioenskappe opgelewer. Pretorius het egter geen planne om nou al aan aftree te begin dink nie. Hy wil met sy werk aanhou tot hy letterlik nie meer kan nie. Hy is nog fiks en gesond en oefen daagliks nie net in sy gimnasium nie, maar ook deur fiets te ry en te swem. Pretorius is nog so sterk en gesond dat twee inbrekers onlangs hul moses teëgekom het toe hy hulle in sy huis verras het.
Winner of Spar Women’s challenge to receive a brand new car There is an exciting new incentive for runners taking part in the Spar Women’s 10km Challenge races this year. The winner of the annual Spar Grand Prix will receive the keys to a brand new, just released car. For the past five years, the top runners have competed for Grand Prix points, with the overall winner pocketing a hefty cash prize. This year she will receive a Nissan Micra Visia 1.2. The runner-up will receive R30 000 and the third-placed athlete R15 000. There are cash prizes for the top ten runners in the open category and for the top three in the four age categories.
Runners earn Grand Prix points according to their positions in the five challenge races, which are held in Cape Town, Nelson Mandela Bay, Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg. The top 20 runners in each race earn Grand Prix points, with the winner receiving 20 and the 20th placed runner one point. An age category runner earns points by finishing in the top five in her age group, with the overall age group winners taking home R3 000. Runners can also earn bonus points by finishing the race in a faster time than the winning time in the particular race in the previous year. All runners who beat the
2011 overall winning time in the relevant age category of the corresponding race in 2012 will score five time incentive points. “We are so excited about the way interest in the Grand Prix has grown every year,” said Spar Group marketing executive, Mike Prentice.

Koos Venter Die jaarlikse interprovinsiale o.21-vrouehokkietoernooi is verlede week in die Tshwane Universiteit van Tegnologie (TUT) se stadion gehou. Twaalf spanne van regoor die hele land het in Pretoria saamgetrek vir dié belangrike toernooi, waar
die land se beste jong hokkietalent in aksie was. Plaaslike ondersteuners het die voorreg gehad om twee plaaslike spanne te ondersteun, want die Northerns B-span het saam met die Northerns Blues deelgeneem. Hierdie feit onderstreep die krag van plaaslike vrouehokkie. Op dag vyf was die Northerns Blues nog een van die sterk aan-
spraakmakers om in die eindrondte van die toernooi te speel. Na afloop van hierdie toernooi sal ’n nasionale oefengroep aangewys word. Uit hierdie groep sal die nasionale o.21-span gekies word vir Oktobermaand se belangrike Afrika-kwalifiseringstoernooi vir die junior wêreldbekertoernooi wat volgende jaar plaasvind.
Jong Pretorianer vang rekord Blou Marlyn Koos Venter ’n Jong rekenmeester van Groenkloof in Pretoria het ervare diepsee hengelaars by ’n onlangse hengelkompetisie in Richardsbaai op hul neuse laat kyk. Hy het die grootste Blou Marlyn ooit in dié baai se hawegebied met sy eerste probeerslag as roofvishengelaar uitgetrek het. Wynand van Wyk is eintlik ’n varswaterhengelaar, maar op besoek aan Richards-
baai het hy saam met vriende op ’n boot uitgevaar om aan die bekende Bonanzadiepseespesie-hengelkompetisie deel te neem. Van Wyk het sowat twee ure met die bielie-Marlyn aan sy lyn geworstel wat sowat 40km van die strand af sy aas gevat het. Die reuse vis het uiteindelik 290kg ingeweeg. Volgens Van Wyk tel sy vangs onder die top 20 swaarste Marlyne wat ooit langs die Suid-Afrikaanse kus uitgetrek is. Wynand van Wyk by die Blou Marlyn van 290kg.

Voor van links is Jandre Verster, Ludik Alberts, Kian Heuer, Jaco Pretorius, Marko Liebenberg en Naldo Truter, (agter) Jared Leonard, Ruben Rossouw, Hanno du Preez, Jacques Verster (bestuurder), Joshua Nel, Gustav de Jager en Marco van Wyk.
Krieketkannetjies maak skoonskip by 0.9-liga Tukkies se o.9 krieketspan het skoonskip gemaak in die 2011/2012 o.9 Platinum Krieketliga. Die span het al 13 van sy ligawedstryde gewen. In die proses het hulle meer as 1 700 lopies aangeteken in 13 wedstryde. As daar in ag geneem word dat hierdie jong spelers maar nog net nege jaar oud is, maak dit hulle prestasie eers merkwaardig. Die beste kolwer in Tukkies se span was Kian Heuer. Hy het die seisoen afgesluit met ’n totaal van 272 lopies teen ’n merkwaardige gemiddeld van 90,7. Een van sy vele vyftigtalle het hy van net 18 balle gemoker. Die beste bouler was Jandre Verster wat 13 paaltjies platgetrek het met ’n gemiddeld van 6,4.
Die veelsydigste speler in hierdie talentvolle span was Hanno du Preez wat 208 lopies in die seisoen gemoker het, terwyl hy ook 10 paaltjies ingeoes het. In totaal het die spannetjie sewe vyftigtalle aangeteken. Hierdie statistiek wys hoekom dié span so uitgeblink het. Die bestuurder van die span, Jacques Verster, het gesê die suksesresep agter sy span se prestasie was dat hy glo aan ’n rotasiestelsel. Dit beteken dat hy ’n groot groep spelers die kans gee om hul staal te wys, terwyl hul almal geleentheid kry om te ontwikkel. Verster het gesê sy spannetjie het 12 veelsydige spelers wat almal kan kolf, boul en natuurlik baie goed veldwerk kan doen.
