Spies & Associates het verlede week ‘n lys vol erkennings en pryse ontvang by hul jaarlikse prysuitdeling waar onder meer Hendrik Spies as die beste finansiële adviseur in Old Mutual PFA Suid-Afrika aangekondig is. Nie net het Hendrik erkenning ontvang nie, maar ook die vennote en die praktyk vir ‘n suksesvolle jaar in 2022. Die praktyk is baie opgewonde oor die toekennings en trots op die prestasie en wil graag voortbou daarop om nederig en behulpsaam aan hulle kliënte te wees.
The West Coast District Municipality, with its head office in Moorreesburg, managed to retain its 12th consecutive clean audit status from 2010/2011 to 2021/2022. The clean audit outcome of the District Municipality, together with the well governed local municipalities within the area, competes with many other geographical areas in South Africa and even abroad.
Whilst it is fact that a clean audit status does not translate into necessary basic and community services, the West Coast District Municipality is a showed that it can be done.
Good audit outcomes have a direct impact on the evaluation and assessment of an entities credit rating and gives prospective investors confidence to invest in a particular region or sector.
The ratings for West Coast District Municipality are underpinned by its financial profile, supported by its net cash position.
•Provision of Bulk Water Services
The West Coast District Municipality is the only district municipality within the Western Cape which operates as a water service provider within a water concession for the Saldanha Bay, Swartland and Bergrivier local municipalities.
The good cooperation between the four municipalities ensures that the 50+ year old bulk water infrastructure is maintained and managed in such a manner to ensure water provision to communities.
The partnership between these municipalities ensure that the water treatment works continue to operate and is not impacted by loadshedding to ensure that the basic right of water provision is adhered to.
•Roads construction on behalf of the Western Cape Government: West Coast District Municipality performs road construction, on behalf of the Western Cape Government, Department of Transport and Public Works (WCG DTPW). This includes project approvals, materials purchasing, personnel administration and project proposals of road construction projects.
Whilst the agreement made provision for gravel road maintenance and regravelling, the expertise and skills within the department also allowed for the reseal and construction of two major projects in the current financial year.
The reseal of a 25,52 km of road in Brandsebaai and the construction of a 18,2 km road between Vredenburg and Stompneus Bay a two of the flagship projects of this partnership.
The provision of good road surface and the maintenance thereof is a critical component to ensure movement of people and commodities.
These roads projects contribute immensely to local economic development and job creation in the region.
•Firefighting services
Whilst there are many concerns about the
standard and mandates of fire services, the Weskus District Municipality has made significant strides over the last decade. West Coast District Municipality's Fire and Rescue Services, with six fire stations across the district, has a primary focus on veld and mountain fires.
Working relations between stakeholders such as the Fire Protection Association, Working on Fire, Western Cape Department of Disaster Management, Cape Nature, SANParks, Department of Fisheries Forestry and Environment ensures effective fire responses in the region.
•Environmental Health
West Coast district municipality is responsible for the rendering of municipal health services within their boundaries. The ±33 111 square kilometers require substantial traveling to render municipal health services to the public. Services rendered include Environmental Health Services, Environmental Management and Air Quality Services. •Coordinated Disaster and Community Safety Integration: The challenges experienced with the police services across the district, places and increasing burden on community and farm safety, the crime outlook of the various areas and the hostility to social and community outreach programs. Through funding availed by the Western Cape Department of Community Safety, the West Coast District Municipality has facilitated and championed a coordinated responsiveness
implementation to community safety. Focus areas include:
•Establishment of a district Community Safety Forum (CSF).
•Assistance with establishment of CSF's four (4) local municipalities with Cederberg local municipality yet to be finalised.
- Establishment and operationalising of an Emergency Response and Prevention Operational Centre.
•Securing six (6) radio communication licenses from ICASA on behalf of all five (5) local municipalities within the district.
•Roll out of radio communication base stations to each of the local municipalities for ease of communication across jurisdictional boundaries. •Roll out of 10 radios to South African Police Services stations within the district for effective and concise communication.
•Dual space been used by SAPS and the Western Cape Provincial Traffic within the emergency/ call center.
•Various awareness and integrated stakeholder response campaigns been conducted. Executive Mayor at West Coast District Municipality, Alderman Boffie Strydom, said that it is an honour and privilege to work with such dedicated staff and councilors.
"This clean audit is a culmination of the hard work of municipal staff and effective oversight by council. If we continue to put people first and ensure that we conform to the prescribes as set out by the Auditor General West Coast District Municipality will continue to be one of the best run municipalities in South Africa" said the Executive Mayor.

Esmé van Reenen is vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar aangewys as Suid-Afrika se top-verkoper vir die Justine-konsessie.
Hierdie toekenning is gevier tydens 'n spoggeleentheid in die Lord Charles-hotel in Somerset-Wes.
Van Reenen is nederig dankbaar om weer die kroon te dra.
"Baie dankie aan al my jarelange ondersteuners. Julle maak dit vir my moontlik om hierdie hoogtes te bereik."
As part of the Swartland Municipality's commitment and dedication to create awareness about gender-based violence and violence against children, we are partnering with the local community through an extensive art project.
Throughout the year, local schools and organisations will be contributing to a mural in Malmesbury helping to create consciousness and awareness about the prevalence of Gender Based Violence in our communities and throughout South Africa.
The first session took place on Friday, 10 March 2023, where art students from Schoon-
Hoërskool Dirkie Uys het onlangs 10 van hul tennissterre na die Menlo Mixit-toernooi in Sun City gestuur. Die groep het hier 'n tweede plek behaal. Hulle is Juan Kitshoff, Walter Bester, Hermann Hartung, Enro Rust, Franco Rust, Gert v Schalkwyk. Agter is Alica Bester, Liebe v Schalkwyk, Anesce du Toit, Zia v Dyk, Lize Bester.
spruit Secondary School, a local high school, began painting the first section of this mural. This wall spans the Wesbank Sport field and is located in a high traffic area, making sure that any person who drives or walks by, will clearly see the message and the commitment of our entire community in ending gender-based Violence.
The Executive Mayor, Harold Cleophas was joined by various councillors on Friday, and they added their paint brushes to the project to demonstrate that this is an issue that unites the community regardless of political affiliations.
"The involvement of our learners in creating
this mural and spreading this message is critically important. By making them aware and empowering them with knowledge and tools, will help us break the cycle of abuse," said Mayor Cleophas.
The mural will continue to expand as the project continues and involve more schools and organisations to help raise awareness against gender-based violence, every day of year. This is a pilot project and similar initiatives will be rolled out in all our towns, ensuring that the message of no violence against women and children reaches every corner of Swartland.
Van Reenen is al vir 45 jaar 'n Justine-agent. Een van haar pryse wat sy losgeslaan het, is 'n wegbreek na die Drakensberge - iets waarna Van Reenen baie uitsien.
Spies & Associates het vanjaar, soos oudergewoonte, hul jaarlikse funksie vir kliënte aangebied op Donderdag 9 Maart 2023.
Soos elke jaar het die funksie ten doel gehad om die gemeenskap te inspireer. Peter van Kets, Suid-Afrika se beroemde avonturier, het die gehoor geïnspireer met verhale van al sy avonture vanoor die wêreld.
Die gehoor is ook ingelig oor die stand van die ekonomie deur Old Mutual se ekonoom, Izak Odendaal.
Izak het met groot entoesiasme die gehoor se vrae oor die ekonomie beantwoord. Die aand was ‘n groot sukses met bywoning van amper 300 kliënte, vriende en sakelui van die Swartland en omliggende areas. Spies & Associates wil graag voortbou op hierdie suksesvolle jaarlikse aanbieding, waar die gemeenskap waardevolle kennis inwin en terselfdertyd tyd motivering vir die jaar ontvang.
Hendrik Spies van Spies & Associates som dit mooi op as hy sê: “Ons sukses is gebou op kundigheid, ondervinding, harde werk en goeie

"Dit is hierdie span mense wat ons praktyk die nommer een praktyk in die land maak. Ek is opgewonde vir ons span en sien uit daarna om te bou op ons sukses in die Swartland-area.”
Spies & Associates het ook vroeër die maand ‘n lys vol toekennings en pryse ontvang by Old Mutual se jaarlikse prysuitdeling waar onder meer Hendrik Spies as die nommer 1-finansiële adviseur in Old Mutual PFA Suid-Afrika aangekondig is.

Harcourts, die vinnigste groeiende eiendomsagentskap ter wêreld, het onlangs sy deure op Malmesbury oopgemaak.
Harcourts Swartland is die jongste toevoeging tot die Harcourts Weskus-familie, wat reeds kantore op Yzerfontein, Laaiplek, St Helenabaai en 'n hoofkantoor op Langebaan het.
Harcourts West Coast is aangewys as die top “non-metro”-kantoor deur die Harcourts-groep vir die afgelope drie jaar en beskik oor ‘n sterk dinamiese span van 40 persone wat reeds hierdie dorpe en omliggende areas bedien.
Harcourts West Coast word bestuur deur 'n broer-en-suster-span, Pieter Wagner en Maritha Wagner as konsessie-eienaars.
Die nuwe kantoor op Malmesbury, bekend as Harcourts Swartland, is gestig toe Marietjie Theron vir Maritha en Pieter gekontak het met die voorstel om na dié area uit te brei.
Alhoewel Marietjie reeds sedert 2021 aktief in die area is, het hulle eers onlangs hul kantoor in Voortrekkerweg 69 (op die eerste verdieping van die Spar Apteek-gebou) geopen.
Die Malmesbury-tak is net die begin vir die groep.
Hulle beoog om nog kantore op ander dorpe in die Swartland te open en verwelkom enige bestaande agentskappe in die streek om uit te reik vir samewerking en selfs vennootskap-geleenthede.
Die Harcourts-handelsmerk bestaan vanaf 1888, wat dit een van die oudste en mees gevestigde eiendomsfirmas ter wêreld maak. Ten spyte van sy lang geskiedenis, is dit ook een van die vinnigste groeiende, met kantore in 10 lande en meer as 900 kantore wêreldwyd.
Harcourts Swartland is nou op soek na ervare eiendomsagente om by hul span aan te sluit.
Die dienste wat hulle aanbied, sluit huur, koop en verkoop van eiendomme in.
Met hul uitgebreide kennis van die plaaslike eiendomsmark en die ondersteuning van die Harcourts-handelsmerk, is hulle seker dat hulle uitstekende diens aan hul kliënte kan lewer.
Pieter en Maritha Wagner is opgewonde om die Harcourts-handelsmerk in die Swartland te vestig en uit te brei. Hulle glo dat hul span se toewyding en verbintenis om die hoogste vlak van diens aan hul kliënte te bied, hulle van hul mededingers sal onderskei.
Harcourts bied ook ‘n baie suksesvolle uitbreiding op verkope deur middel van eiendomsveilings en stel hierdie diens beskikbaar aan ernstige verkopers in die Swartland-streek.
As jy op soek is na 'n professionele en ervare eiendomsagentskap om jou te help om eiendom in die Swartland te koop of te verkoop, is Harcourts Swartland die span om te kontak.
Skakel hulle vandag met al jou eiendomsbehoeftes by 022 707 9104 of 083 307 2734.
In die uitgawe van 1 Maart 2023 van die Swartland Joernaal is daar verkeerdelik na Lennie van Niekerk verwys as Corrie van Niekerk.

Lennie van Niekerk het die fiets gediens en sal dit ook vir die volgende jaar maandeliks hersien om seker te maak die Koeksisterkoning trap veilig. Hier is Lennie van Niekerk, Wesley de Klerk, Gaylinth Hansen (Flying Eagles) en Henfré Brand (Flying Eagles).
