KLEINVLEI: SOKKERSPELERS SE KLUBGELD GLO AGTERSTALLIG

Spelers ‘gyselaar gehou’ BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind Verskeie sokkerspelers by ’n klub in Eersterivier voel hulle word deur hul sokkerklub gyselaar gehou omdat hulle glo nie op datum is met hul klubgeld nie.

Marshall Jansen sê hy speel sedert die 2014/15-seisoen vir die Kleinvlei FC-sokkerklub en wil nou groener weivelde gaan soek.

“Ons is vyf ouens wat nou by ’n ander klub

wil gaan speel, maar die hulpafrigter weier om ons vertrekkaarte te gee. Hy beweer ons skuld nog geld, wat nie waar is nie,” sê Jansen.

Die hulpafrigter, Ashley Rangolie, sê die klub wil nie die spelers keer om na ander klubs te gaan nie; hulle wil net hê wat die klub toekom. “Ons was verlede jaar op ’n uitstappie waarvoor ons uitgawes moes aangaan en die spelers het nie daarvoor betaal nie. As deel van hul skeidingsgeld wil ons

net die uitgawes wat ons aangegaan het, verhaal. Waar die skeidingsgeld R150 sou wees, is dit nou R250,” sê Rangolie.

Volgens hom kon die probleme al opgelos gewees het as die spelers nie so rondgeval het nie en regstreeks met hulle gepraat het.

“Ek hoor hulle was by die plaaslike sokkervereniging (LFA) en by die president.

Hulle moes net met ons kom praat het, dan was die probleme opgelos,” sê Rangolie.

Afrikaanse Voetbalvereniging (Safa) in Kaapstad, sê ingevolge die reëls kan ’n speler ’n klub aan die einde van die seisoen, wat van April tot September strek, gratis verlaat as sy klubgeld op datum is. “Indien klubgeld nie opbetaal is nie, is die speler verplig om ’n bedrag van R150 te betaal en niks meer nie. Soms gebeur dit dat die klubs uitgawes vir die speler aangegaan. As die klub voel ’n speler skuld hom geld, moet hy na die hof vir klein eise gaan,” sê Bailey.

As sy boek een mens kan help wat afgeknou word, sal hy bly wees.

Só sê Marvin Borcherds, skrywer van die boek Disastraat, wat op 28 Februarie bekend gestel word.

Borcherds van Blackheath sê hy weet hoe dit voel om afgeknou te word en dit is daarom dat temas soos homofobie sterk deurkom in sy boek. “As een mens deur hierdie boeke gehelp word, sal ek bly wees. Dit fokus ook op ander euwels soos dwelmmisbruik en bendes,” sê Borcherds.

Borcherds, wat ook ’n rubriek vir TygerBurger se susterskoerant Son skryf, sê hy wou nie altyd boeke skryf nie, maar ’n besering wat hy in 2014 opgedoen het, het hom letterlik gedwing. “Ek het altyd gedigte en joernale geskryf. Op skool het ek maar altyd gedink my skryfvaardighede is middelmatig, maar toe ek met die besering vir ses weke op my rug moes lê, het ek boek en pen nader getrek,” sê Borcherds.

Hy het begin droom om ’n skrywer by die sepie Suidooster te word. “Nadat ek verskeie kere aansoek gedoen het, het hulle my toegelaat om uiteindelik by die

skrywerskamer rond te hang. Toe my internskap ten einde loop, wou hulle my aanstel, maar daar was nie in daardie stadium ’n vakature nie.

“Al werk wat ek kon kry, was as produksie-assistent, maar dit was nie wat ek eintlik wou doen nie en ek is vort. By Suidooster het ek baie geleer en met daardie kennis het ek ’n kortfliek begin skryf. Nadat ek dit aan ’n vervaardiger voorgelê het, het ons daaraan begin verfilm, maar die geld het opgedroog. Ons moes nog drie tonele skiet,” sê Marvin.

Dit het hom egter nie gekeer nie en hy het die draaiboek in ’n boek omgeskakel. ’n Uitgewer in Pretoria het daarvan gehou en dit word eersdaags uitgegee.

“My pa, Clive, is onlangs oorlede en hy was een van my grootste ondersteuners. Hy het gedurig gevra hoe ver ek met die boek is en of daar iets is wat ek nodig het.

“Dit breek my hart dat hy so kort voor die boek se bekendstelling oorlede is, dus dra ek die boek aan hom op.” Volgens Borcherds is die venue vir die bekendstelling nog nie bekend nie, maar dit gaan beslis op 28 Februarie plaasvind.

Marvin Borcherds stel eersdaags sy boek bekend.

We’re in need of metal bowls for our kennels and hospital. Can you help us?

Daar is mos ’n gesegde dat jy nooit te jonk is om rugby te speel nie, maar ek (hulle noem my “Coachie”) het nou die bewys by die rugbyklub Van der Stel-Evergreens gekry dat ons al afrigters van tweejarige ouderdom af op die veld grootmaak of grootmors!

Met rugbyspanne wat nou almal besig is met voorseisoense voorbereiding voor die ligakompetisie in April begin, word hulp van enige aard verwelkom.

Klubspanne gebruik kenners om die fynere puntjies van die spel te verduidelik of fiksheidsinstrukteurs word gekry om die spelers van Kersfees se koekstruif, lamsboud en ander lekkernye ontslae te help raak en fiks te kry.

As een van die afrigters by Van der StelEvergreens (VDE) in Stellenbosch, sou ek ook enige hulp waardeer het. Maar wat nou gemaak as jou “hulp” van ’n tweejarige kom wat nog nie eens uit die doeke is nie?

Wel, Cullen Williams was by die eerste oefensessie op VDE se tuisveld op Donderdag 16 Januarie baie “hulpvaardig” om die waterbottels te help vul, net om dit daarna weer uit te gooi.

Tydens die waterpouse kon die spelers nie verstaan hoekom daar so min water in die bottels was nie, want Coachie sorg dat daar genoeg water vir almal is. Min het Cullen geweet hy is op kamera vasgevang deur “Big Brother” waar hy lustig die water op die koelboks uitgooi, ewe kordaat opklim en sy voete in die water sit.

Hy vertel toe vir almal wat luister: “My

Hy was so besig met die waterbottels vul en uitgooi dat hy ’n “verrassing” in sy doek vir sy ouers, Charles en Lynelda, gelos het toe die eerste oefensessie verby was. My werk op die oefenveld was klaar, maar die ouers se werk het nog op hulle gewag toe hy by die huis opdaag!

Die ouers was glad nie gelukkig oor die verrassing nie, want hy moes van kop tot tone geskrop word.

Vir die volgende oefensessie op Dinsdag 21 Januarie was ek gereed vir my “mede-afrigter” en het ek die waterbottels halfpad met water gevul en dit oornag in die vrieskas laat vries. Die hele idee was om dan die bottels op die oefenveld vol te maak voordat die spelers hul waterpouse kry.

Toe ek nou die koelbokse langs die oefenveld neersit, was hy eerste by en het die eerste waterbottel gegryp en dit omgedop. Nodeloos om te sê, geen water het uit daai bottel gevloei nie!

Blackheath man off to Australia R

icardo Virgill Smart (28), a Blackheath local, will be jetting off to Brisbane, Australia to represent South Africa at the Golden Key Asia Pacific International Leadership Conference from the 6 to 8 February. Smart is currently a final year Ph.D. student at Stellenbosch University and is one of the guest speakers. He will discuss the topic: “Post-conference networking sessions are the game-changer”.

“The meet and greet at a conference have led to several successful businesses and projects worldwide. It is noteworthy that networking at conferences usually turns out to favour not only the participants but the broader community at a later stage. The exchange of business cards or contact details at conferences is the Ricardo Smart first sign of an upcoming collaboration and innovative output, but the postconference networking sessions are the game-changer,” says Smart.

Networking at several academic functions, leadership conferences and service initiatives, allowed Smart to collaborate on multiple service projects nationally and internationally. In 2019, the Golden Key International Honour Society awarded Smart the International Leadership Council Award for Community Leadership. “The importance of personal branding is a crucial component of why people want to connect with you in the first place. Generally, people decide in the first 10 seconds whether

they want to engage with you or not. Therefore, you must give that person a good impression, as that is how they will remember you for the rest of their lives”, he said.

Smart is currently doing several national and international service projects. He continued by saying: “For me, giving back to the community comes naturally to me. I often find myself doing service projects in the heat of the moment, and I always try to invite young people to take part in it as well.” Networking is an ongoing process for him, where he schedules regular “coffee” or “connect” sessions. Smart believes any connect sessions after a conference or social is what makes networking a success.

He feels that it is vital to remember the person’s passion and to know how to build a professional relationship after you have networked.

Smart is excited to attend the conference in Brisbane, along with Dr. Elmie Castleman (director of Golden Key Southern Africa) and nine other delegates from different South African universities. “The group that will be attending with me is diverse regarding culture and background. For me, it is interesting that regardless of the diversity, we can stand together as one and represent our country in the best way possible on an international platform,” he says. “I am excited to meet international leaders and to learn the culture of Australia. At the same time, I am going with student leaders from different South African universities that have a great record of doing positive and influential projects on campus.”

Millions set aside for library The City of Cape Town’s library and information service will spend nearly R10 million on upgrades to a number of libraries, with some upgrades already completed.

Mayco member for community services, Zahid Badroodien, says libraries have always been at the heart of the communities.

“The City is often asked why it spends money on upgrading and maintaining libraries in a technological and digital age, and it’s because these spaces are essential to creating and maintaining an educated and literate population.

All the City’s libraries undergo maintenance and upgrades in a five-year cycle.

Our libraries are well-loved and popular spaces where residents access vital information, and are provided with recreation and other opportunities to develop literacy and learn skills for employability,” says Badroodien.

Some of the biggest upgrades will take place at the Ravensmead, Kuils River, Bonteheuwel, Brown’s Farm, and Strandfontein libraries.

The Ravensmead Library closed last

ie eerste keer toe Patrick Abrahams (71) in ’n swembad geklim het, het hy so van vrees gebewe dat die swemafrigter hom moes uithaal.

Dit was bietjie meer as ’n maand gelede.

Nou sê Abrahams hy wens hy het al jare tevore die water aangedurf.

“Ek kan nou al selfs die doggy paddle doen,” vertel sy trots.

Terhart moedig enigiemand met ’n vrees vir die water aan om daardie eerste stap te neem.

Rugby-organisasie gaan groter BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind ’n Organisasie wat verlede jaar deur TygerBurger met rugby-toerusting geborg is, wil vanjaar nog verder gaan met sy projekte.

Die Blackheath Rugby Boys het ten doel om weerlose kinders uit die gemeenskap van Blackheath rugbyvaardighede te leer, maar ook om hulle verskillende waardes te leer wat met sport gepaardgaan.

Winslow Mullins, een van die mense betrokke by die organisasie, sê ná verlede jaar se sukses met die groep tienerseuns en die impak wat dit op kinders se lewe gehad het, gaan hulle vanjaar groter.

“Ons wil meer kinders uit die om-

liggende gemeenskap betrek. In die kort tydjie het ons gesien hoe kinders se lewe verander en as ons dit vir meer kan doen, hoekom nie?” sê Mullins.

Om sy droom te bewaarheid, het Mullins by Lionel Louw, die eienaar van Louburg Services, gaan aanklop en daar het hy ’n gewillige oor gekry.

“Ek is al meer as 15 jaar by jeugontwikkeling betrokke, waarvan die laaste vier jaar as jeugleier in die kerk. Toe ek met Mullins praat, het die visie vir wat hy met die projek wil bereik by my byval gevind.

“Sy hart is oop vir die jeug en daarom het ek gevoel my onderneming sal goed met hom kan saamwerk. Soms word jongmense se visie

vertroebel omdat hulle nie geld het nie, dus ondersteun ons die visie,” sê Louw, wat ook baie gemeenskapswerk in Ravensmead doen.

Volgens Louw wens hy iemand het ’n helpende hand na hom gereik toe hy ’n jongman was. “My ouma het my geleer om te deel en ander op te help. Ek was ook al baie keer ten gronde, dus weet ek hoe dit voel as jy hulp nodig het,” sê Louw.

Louw en Mullins beoog om in die toekoms die rugby-idee na ander gemeenskappe ook uit te brei.

Blackheath Rugby Boys bied op 21 Maart ’n sewesrugby-toernooi, die Louberg Sewes, by die Hoërskool Blackheath aan. Tien skole uit die omgewing gaan om die titel meeding.

Artscape education programme to start A

Talent gesoek vir mentorskap Die Jakes Gerwel-stigting en die Suidoosterfees bied vanjaar vir die eerste keer ’n mentorskapprogram aan vir opkomende liriekskrywers en sangers wat oorspronklike liedjies in Afrikaans, Engels of Xhosa skep.

Dié program is ’n uitbreiding van die Suidoosterfees se bestaande Talentsoek-kompetisie waarin na nuwe, ongeslypte talent in die Wes-Kaap – hetsy in drama, sang of dans – gesoek word.

Vir die mentorskap-program word gesoek na jong kunstenaars wat vars en opwindende lirieke skryf. Die vyf belowendste liriekskrywers sal deur ’n paneel van onafhanklike kenners in die eindronde aangewys word. Daarna sal intensiewe mentorskap oor ’n tydperk van drie weke in die stigting se Paulet-skrywers-

rtscape will launch its annual education and training programme that seeks to provide better access to the arts on Tuesday 11 February at 11:00. The programme launch will be followed by the first quarterly free Lunch Hour Concert of 2020, featuring Cape Town Opera and the Unmute Dance Company.

The diverse year-long arts education programme, in collaboration with the City of Cape Town and the provincial government, among others, attempts to address some of the socio-economic challenges facing today’s youth, such as distance, transport, lack of funds and disability. The aim is to develop the next generation of arts and performance practitioners.

The programme wants to put the spotlight on that which is hidden or marginalised. Projects such as the Artscape Women and Humanity

Festival, Youth Jazz, the isiXhosa set work production, Buzani ku Bawo, the ArtsAbility Festival and the celebration of national holidays speaks to this transformation mandate.

Artscape CEO, Marlene le Roux, says, ‘‘by giving participants access to world-class stages with professional lighting and production values, our programme inspires young people’s creative dreams, helps them to grow as performers and artists, and drives employment”.

Le Roux says Artscape’s Schools Arts Festival will see learners from about 15 schools deliver a programme of choral music, theatre and contemporary dance, while the High School Drama Festival engenders latent creative talent.

Their mandate speaks to the promotion and involvement of township and rural communities in the centre’s arts activities and recruit-

ing rural communities to become actively involved in theatre productions.

“This includes the annual rural outreach programme that “takes the theatre to the people”.

The Artscape resource centre and technical training academy transforms education within the arts and is changing the perceptions and aspirations towards mainstreaming professionals into marketable brands and building sustainability with the arts and culture sector, says Le Roux.

These productions are the result of partnerships and collaborations with artists, producers and various stakeholders who assist with producing, while Artscape provides the venue and in-house technical infrastructure.

WAT DIE HART VAN VOL IS

LEWENSKIEKIE

Daar’s geen omkyk vir ouer word nie Gisteroggend op pad werk toe kry ek ’n WhatsApp-boodskap van ’n vriendin.

Sy wens my geluk met my verjaarsdag en ek skrik, want hoe de hel het ek dan nou my eie verjaarsdag vergeet? Of erger nog, het my gesin vergeet om my geluk te wens voor hulle die huis verlaat het?

Net voor ek ’n “baie dankie”-boodskap tik sien ek die datum. Haar boodskap was een dag te vroeg. Sy verduidelik dat sy deurmekaar geraak het met my verjaarsdag en dié van iemand anders.

Fair enough.

Ek wonder toe hoekom het ek self nog nie eens werklik aan die verjaarsdag gedink nie? Deesdae sien ek mense kondig reeds lank voor die tyd aan dat nie net hul verjaarsdag op hande is nie, maar dat hulle die hele maand gaan feesvier. Hier word ek deur iemand uit my verlede daaraan herinner dat ek binnekort ’n jaar ouer word.

Dalk het dit daarmee te doen dat ek eerder fokus op volgende jaar. Dan is dit nou wat die slim mense ’n mylpaal-verjaarsdag noem. Daardie een wat jy nou werklik voel jy het die grootmenswêreld betree. Wanneer daar niks meer wegkomkans is van huisverbande, moeilike tieners en kwale nie. ’n Ouderdom waarop meeste mense, veral mans, terugkyk op hul lewe en bestekopname doen oor wat hulle bereik het, waarin hulle misluk het en wat hulle beoog om vir die volgende gedeelte van hul lewens te doen.

Dit is glo in hierdie stadium wat ouens begin voel hulle word vasgedruk deur hul huidige situasie en dan probeer om daaruit vry te breek. Sommige kêrels vang simpel goed aan soos om nuwe, duur speelgoed (lees motors of motorfietse) te koop en sommer net heeltemal buite karakter op te tree.

Hoewel ek my soms, vir vlietende oomblikke, toelaat om te wonder wat kon wees as ek in sekere tye in my lewe anders opgetree het of ander besluite geneem het, hou ek nie daarvan om te veel in die verlede rond te dwaal nie.

Die lesse wat ek moes leer uit foute in die verlede het ek hopelik geleer en sal dit hopelik nie weer maak nie. Daar is dus vir my geen nut in die verlede nie.

Behalwe dat ek lees van ’n geraamte wat wetenskaplikes onlangs gevind het in Pompeii, die antieke Romeinse stad wat deur ’n vulkaniese uitbarsting verwoes is.

Toe die Berg Vesuvius in die jaar 79 (ná Christus) skielik ontplof en warm as en gesmelte rotse op dié eens vooruitstrewende stad spoeg, kon inwoners nie vinnig genoeg wegkom nie en is die meeste gedood.

Volgens die wetenskaplikes het toetse wat op die geraamte gedoen is bewys dat dit ’n man in sy dertigs was. By die borsgedeelte van die geraamte, in sy arms vasgeklou, was ’n beursie. In die beursie was 20 silwer munte en twee van brons. Dit is toe vasgestel dat dit die munte in daardie stadium genoeg sou wees om ’n gesin van drie vir twee weke aan die lewe te hou. ’n Mens kan op twee maniere na hierdie geval kyk. Eerstens, het dié arme man dalk tot aan die einde vasgeklou aan sy salaris omdat hy geweet het dat sy gesin nie daarsonder sou oorleef nie? ’n Pa wat sy gesien se belange bo dié van sy eie plaas?

Of is dit ’n bewys dat hy so verknog was aan sy aardse besittings dat hy nie daarvan kon ontslae raak terwyl hy omkyk-omkyk vir die gevaar weggehardloop het nie?

Mylpaal-verjaarsdag of te nie, sekerlik is êrens in my toekoms nog baie munte.

Ek kyk nie om nie. – Brenden Ruiter

Hier word ek deur iemand uit my verlede daaraan herinner dat ek binnekort ’n jaar ouer word

Stop helping beggars ‘kill themselves’ We all know that times have changed and life moves on ...

In Bellville we have beggars at every traffic light.

I want to point out a few things that you need to know.

Most of these people are drug users. A tell-tale sign is their swollen hands. They pump their bodies full of chemicals that their organs cannot handle. As the kidneys start shutting down, hands and feet start to swell.

Some of the drugs break down the “glue” that holds the flesh together. These users have sores and bandages. Look out for these signs. Your money that you give to these people, helps them to kill themselves.

These people are not looking for help, they want a hand-out. If they wanted help, the board would read; “Help me get off the street.

I need a job, clothes and somewhere to sleep.”

Unfortunately, most of them cannot get a job. They need money every day to support their drug habits, and some of them are spending R1 000 a day on some very harsh drugs. Your hand-out is helping them to stay there. Don’t give. You are killing them, not helping them. Ask the police how many of these drug user beggars are found dead in fields, parks, parking lots and ditches, in Bellville!

You will also find that a lot of them will graciously take the food you give them, then, when you pass there again, the food you gave has been discarded. When they are on these harsh drugs, they can’t keep food down anyway.

They vomit a lot as their bodies try to get the chemicals out. Giving food is

better, but that’s not what they want. They want your money to buy drugs.

Stop helping these people to kill themselves! Stop giving them money at the traffic lights.

Keep your money in your pocket or give to rehab programmes and night shelters. You will be doing a lot more good.

Please take this to heart.

Kliniek se diens gaan agteruit Anoniem van Durbanville, ek voel saam met jou.

Die diens by die Bellvillekliniek het nét so agteruitgegaan.

Ons kry baie van ons pille nie en jy moet maar tevrede wees met wat jy wel kry. Die apteek blameer die verskaffers, maar dis nie waar (dat dit hul skuld is) nie.

Ons het nou ’n pragtige kliniek, want hulle het die kliniek gemoderniseer. As die diens ook net kan verbeter.

Dan het ons ook ’n “briljante” dokter. Kom pasiënte met ander versoeke as net die voorskrif vir kroniese medisyne gooi hy sy hande in die lug en vra: “En wat moet ek nou doen? Sê jy vir my wat moet ek doen?”

Sterkte aan almal wat afhanklik is van klinieke reg oor ons land.

Our country is ‘polluted to death’ I refer to the letter in the Tygerburger (Toeriste wil nie weer SA besoek nie”, 29/01).

Crimes against the environment as reported in the Tygerburger (the poisoning of trees) and as the writer of the

above mentioned letter reports, people pouring jik into the sea at Struisbaai, need to be punished severely.

Those guys should have been named and shamed!

Climate change is on everyone’s lips but the poisoning of our planet is even more serious. Littering and polluting, spraying of poisons, ordinary people are guilty of this every day, in their daily lives, in their homes and gardens. I agree with the writer Skaam Suid-Afrikaner. We have a lot to be ashamed of. Litter and filth are SA’s shame. All over SA it’s the same – most people don’t care about the environment. Our beautiful country is being polluted and littered to death.

Respekteer jou medemens Dit is goed om vreugdevol te wees.

Salomo het selfs gesê vrolikheid is goed vir jou gesondheid. Maar as jou bure darem op ’n Saterdagaand of Sondagoggend gesels asof hulle jou deel van hul gesprek wil maak en as hulle musiek speel asof jy gevra het om saam te luister, kan ’n mens se gees nie lank gesond bly nie.

Komaan mense, begin weer ’n bietjie respek vir jou medemens hê. Neem die gesels binnenshuis ná 23:00 en stel die musiek net ’n bietjie sagter.

Ek wonder of julle dit sal waardeer as ek Saterdagnag ’n prediker het en ’n klassiekemusiekuitvoering op vol volume in my agterplaas speel?

Net ’n gedagte vir Brackenfell-inwoners om aan te herkou ...

OU SUURBEK Brackenfell

SA word verniel sonder gewete Graag wil ek na aanleiding van Skaam Suid-Afrikaner se brief (“Toeriste wil nie meer SA besoek nie”, 29 Januarie) ook my mening lug.

Ons dogter was met ’n Duitser getroud en hulle het elke jaar met die kinders vir ons kom kuier.

Destyds het hulle reeds die taxi’s se onverskillige bestuursvermoë bevraagteken.

Hulle was verstom dat babas en kinders nie in stoeltjies vasgegordel is nie.

Hulle kon nie verstaan waarom voertuie nie binne die spoedgrens bly nie en waarom mense deur geel verkeersligte ry.

Sy is ongelukkig ses jaar gelede in Duitsland oorlede, dus sien ons die kleinkinders nie meer so gereeld nie. Ons Duitse skoonseun was egter reeds twee keer hier met die kinders en ons gesels al die tyd.

Toe hy twee jaar gelede hier was, moes ons vir hom ’n voertuig reël met twee stoeltjies en die kinders was toe al onderskeidelik ses en nege jaar oud!

Hulle wil nou weer kom kuier maar hy is bekommerd oor die kinders se veiligheid.

Is dit regverdig dat ons die land moet verdedig terwyl ons vir ons eie veiligheid veg. Ek hoop en bid hy bring die kinders.

Ja, hoop en bid en vertrou is al wat ons kan doen.

Ons hoop bly in God en vertrou dat Hy mense keuses sal laat maak wat hierdie land vir almal veilig sal maak.

Ons land is pragtig maar word daagliks verniel en vernietig deur mense sonder gewete, gevoelens en integriteit.

Word wakker Suid-Afrikaners, en sien wat julle doen.

Get a head start on selling your home with these easy tips If selling your home is on your to do list this year, you will be pleased to know that the first few months of the year are traditionally an excellent time to hit the market.

Not only are the early summer transfers starting to filter through to the deeds office, providing useful statistical information, properties are also showing their sunny sides and buyers are happy and motivated.

David Jacobs of the Rawson Property Group says there are several ways sellers can make the most of this seasonal opportunity.

These are his four top tips to hit the new year’s property market in peak form and give your home a head start to sell well in 2020:

Get your home in market-ready condition One of the most time-consuming things you might face in the run-up to selling your home is getting everything looking ship-shape and market-ready.

“All of us homeowners tend to have a list of little chores and repairs that are not necessarily life-changing or urgent when you live in a property but make quite a big difference to its overall appearance and outward condition,” Jacobs says.

Get a selection of valuations from experienced real estate agents If you have done your homework as a seller, you probably know that an accurate valuation is essential for a successful sale, but how do you know if an agent’s valuation is accurate?

According to Jacobs, the best technique is to get a selection of valuations from a range of reputable real estate agents and compare their figures as well as the motivations behind them.

“The first few months of the year are an ideal time to get an updated valuation, because the increased market activity in spring and early

summer give a good picture of what’s happening in the market.

“Experienced real estate agents will use this information to provide you with a comparative market analysis along with their valuation, showing the performance and positioning of similar properties on the market, and demonstrating how your home compares to the current competition.

“No-one can predict with 100% certainty what a property will sell for at the end of the day, but this kind of market information makes it a lot easier to judge which valuation is in the right ballpark.”

Find the right agent to market your home Getting a selection of valuations done on your home is a good way to meet a few different agents, but Jacobs warns sellers not to be lured into handing over a mandate based purely on the highest bidder.

“Accuracy is much more important than the promise of profit when it comes to selling. Overpricing and under-pricing hit sellers equally hard in the pocket. I always recommend choosing an agent who can justify their valuation with concrete – and current – evidence, who is trusted in your area, and who you feel comfortable working with over the course of your sale.”

Get in quick In property, as in many things, the early bird catches the worm. According to Jacobs, this is even more true over the first few months of the year.

“This often brings in a fresh batch of buyers hitting the market with big hopes of finding their dream home.

“If you delay listing your property for too long, you risk losing the opportunity to capitalise on this market and could attract fewer viewings once people get back into the slog and grind of the working year.”

Six essential considerations when choosing office space In the age of flexible work environments and remote employees, choosing the right office space may not feel like a make-or-break move anymore.

As a result, a lot of businesses may be tempted to prioritise tangible factors like budget and square meterage over less cut-and-dried elements like convenience and brand synergy.

According to Craig Mott, regional sales manager for the Rawson Property Group, this can be an expensive mistake.

“Today, more than ever, the right workplace can play a critical role in things like staff retention, client acquisition, productivity and profitability. It is not a decision that should be taken lightly or made purely on budgetary grounds, although finances obviously

play an important role.”

While the best office space will vary dramatically depending on your business, these are the elements Mott said all companies looking for a new workspace should consider.

Location With roads getting more congested and employees becoming highly conscious of their commute times, a location that is convenient for your staff is always a good start. However, Mott said this convenience needs to be balanced with things like client accessibility and brand synergy.

Space Finding the right space means much more than just making sure there’s

room for all your desks and equipment.

Mott said meeting space, recreation areas, café or kitchen space and bathrooms are equally important.

Growth Potential Mott also advised businesses with plans to grow in years to come to consider the potential for future expansion within their chosen space.

Layout Moving offices is an expensive and disruptive operation. To minimise the impact of this, Mott recommended looking for a space that does not need too extensive an alteration. If you are renting, your lease will often allow an amount for tenant installation. This is an amount that the landlord is willing

to pay for alterations and is often calculated at an amount per square metre. Make sure that this will cover your alterations or that you have budgeted accordingly and can afford to make the alterations that are necessary.

Amenities Do not forget to look at more than just the walls when choosing an office space. Mott said natural and artificial lighting, air-conditioning and connectivity are all important too.

Cost No matter how many boxes an office space ticks, cost will always be an essential component, but Mott said businesses should never discount the potential to negotiate on rental.

TURFHALL: ACTION OVERLOAD

T’View KO Dolphins NOORE NACERODIEN

T

he Turfhall Softball Stadium was abuzz over the weekend with quite a bit of knockout action as well as a touring American college, which conducted coaching clinics, as well as play against a Cape Town Softball Association (CTSA) invitational team.

Table View Tornados ensured that they will contest their women’s Major League final against Westridge Yankees after they beat northern suburbs rivals Belhar Dolphins 6-3 on Sunday 2 February.

In the day’s featured game on the A-diamond, Yankees’ men’s team beat Khayelitsha Eagles 11-7 in an exciting semi-final.

Eagles took seven hits off veteran pitcher Wendall Solomons who struck out seven batters and gave up six free bases.

Yankees out-hit their much-fancied opponents taking 11 hits off Moses Molaba.

Solomons also led the offensive for Yankees with a superb 3-4 batting performance, including a double and a triple.

Yankees will meet their old foes, Hamiltons, who defeated a young Tantasport 14-8, in the finals in March.

In the women’s Super League knockout semi-finals, Lavender Hill easily defeated Kenfac Phillies 13-0.

The win means they will meet Westridge Yankees, the only team that beat them this year, in the final in March.

Yankees booked their place in the final after beating a gallant Glenthorn A’s 13-8 after the teams were deadlocked at eight-all in the sixth innings.

It was the power batting of Nicole Williams (3-4), Jacky Adonis (2-3) and Nuraan Williams (2-4) that saw the Yankees cross the finish line in style.

Lynn Lakay (3-4) shone with the bat for A’s.

US college tour The week-long visit by the Gustavus Adolphus College from Minnesota in the United States of America was a hit with officials and players.

The morning clinic, conducted by the visitors, was well attended by young players from local clubs and schools.

Later in the afternoon, the college team showed their on-the-field prowess in their first of three matches against a CTSA representative team.

The CTSA team came out tops 3-2.

The college plays two further matches on Wednesday and Friday, both at 19:00.

Schools battle it out in Twizza grand finale The Twizza Super School Series produced a riveting display of school’s track and field competition at the Bestmed Tuks Athletics Stadium on Saturday 1 February.

But while Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool, Menlo Park High School girls and mixed team claiming the coveted title of SA’s best athletics school (in their respective categories), teams from local schools such as Bellville, D.F. Malan, Milnerton and Parow finished well down the leaderboard.

However, one of the highlight’s was Milnerton’s Erin Crotz who won her heat in the u.17 100m.

“It’s really amazing to cross the finish line first in my heat. I surprised myself today.

“The Twizza Super School Series is amazing.

“I like the fact that they brought every single school together to compete against each other to see who is the fastest school.”

Affectionately dubbed the “North vs South” battle, the Twizza Super School Series Grand Fina-

le saw 46 of SA’s leading athletics schools (1 125 athletes) participate on the day.

Qualifying schools were required to enter 15 member teams (boys, girls and/or mixed) across two age groups u.17 and u.19.

Events that could be entered included: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1 500m, short hurdles, long hurdles, long jump, triple jump, high jump, shot-put, discus and javelin for age groups u.17 and u.19.

“We are excited that we started the season with a bang,” said ASA President, Aleck Skhosana.

“Even more thrilling is that we are affording future stars a chance to experience top level competition while they are still at school. With the SABC now on board as the official host broadcaster, the future is brighter.

“The success of these series encourages us to now look at populating it to other areas beyond the Gauteng and Cape Town legs to give it more access to other students as well across the country.”
