GreytonfightsbackANNETTE THERON

An increase in property-relatedcrime in Greyton has led to resi-dents establishing a neighbour-hoodwatch, the police increasingpatrols, and the tourism bureauadvising members on improvingsecurity.

But someresidents say thepublici-ty surrounding the increase is blownoutofproportionandmightbeharm-ful to the town’s image as a quietcountry haven.Property-related crime increased

by 65% in January this year com-pared toJanuary last year.This cate-gory includesburglaries, theft ofmo-tor vehicles, theft out of motor vehi-cles and stock theft.Arson and malicious damage to

property went up by 34%, while gen-eral theft, fraud and shoplifting in-creased by 9%.Drug-related crime, drunken driv-

ing and selling liquor without a li-cence increased by 60%.However, Captain Gustav Tam-

boer, station commander of the Ge-nadendal/Greyton police, points outthat therewas a 22%decrease in con-tact crime like murder, rape, as-saultsandrobberies inJanuarycom-pared to January last year.“The problem inGreyton is house-

breaking and theft,” Tamboer says.According to him, laptops, cell-phones, i-Pods and jewellery are themost common items stolen. He at-tributes these crimes to drug and al-coholabuse,unemploymentandpov-erty.In an effort to curb the crime prob-

lem, a neighbourhood watch was es-

tablished inNovember last year, andsecurity companies came on board.According to Tamboer, this provedfruitful. “Community participationis most important. Due to informa-tion from the community, we havebeen able tomake several arrests, aswell as confiscate some of the stolenproperty. The high visibility of po-lice vehicles in Greyton is anotherdeterrent.”Tamboer says the success rate of

apprehending suspects increasedfrom 50% to 70% since January.The problem of break-ins received

prominent attention in a recent re-port in a Cape Town-based dailynewspaper, and some residents feelthe publicity has been out of propor-tion to the problem.A resident whose house was bur-

gled earlier this year says she stillthinks Greyton is a wonderful placeand that the prevalence of crime hasbeen blown out of proportion. “Oneexpects a small town to become im-mune to petty theft, but it is an unre-alistic expectation because crimehappens all over.”Jenny Duncan, chairperson of the

Greyton Tourism Bureau, says thatGreyton has sadly become the focusof what is actually happening in alltowns along the coast.“It is a tragedy that people are be-

ginning to associate Greyton withcrime; it is going to have a negativeimpact on us.”Sheadmits that theyhave crime in

Greyton, but believes there has beenan under reporting of crime in thepast. “We have a new police captainand we are supporting him fully.Whatwearedoing is encouragingallofourself-cateringestablishmentsto

have burglar bars and alarms put in,just as an extra precaution, as youwould, living in the city.”Mary Faure, owner of Francolin

Guest Cottage in Greyton, says thatshe doesn’t believe it is a spike, butrather a long-term trend. “It’s proba-bly spurred on by tik users. I don’tlive in Greyton, but the petty and op-portunistic thieving has certainlybecome worse.”She says guests at their cottage im-

agine that life in the village is safeand secure and tend to leave doorsstanding open, or unlocked. “Thetemptation is huge. It seems to methat as people become more vigilantandkeep doors secured, the pilferersand tik and alcohol addicts becomemore desperate and reckless when

they try to gain entry into homes.”She doesn’t think that tourism in

Greytonwillbeaffected.“Thevillagecrime is nowhere near the level of vi-olence and danger of city crime. Andit is such a stunning village.”Alan Armstrong, chairperson of

the Greyton Neighbourhood Watch,says the crime in the area is “prettymuch” thesameas in thecrimespikein Napier and Bredasdorp. “There isa big problem in the Western Capeand it seems to have started in theurban areas and moved to the ruralareas. Poor communities around thecountry villages have formed littlecrime syndicates.”He says country communities are

not used to security systems, but anumber of residents have upgraded

their security systems tomake them-selves less vulnerable.Tamboer says the community’s ef-

fortsarestartingtopayoff.“It isclearto me that the community is comingto the fore by reporting criminal ac-tivities in our area and therefore Imust salute you.“More and more stolen goods are

being recovered due to valuable in-formation fromyou as the communi-ty. More and more information re-garding illegal liquor and drug out-letssuddenlyarises.Thisrelates intoproper planning from our side to ad-dress them harshly.“Liquor and drug outlets are the

priorities for this year and this is afriendly warning to those dealingwith this root cause of crime.”

KANSA-AFLOS ’N GROOT SUKSES: Tessa Hanekom en haar skoonsus Thilka het albei aan die pas afgelope Kansa Relayfor Life by Overberg Hoërskool se sportgronde deelgeneem en sê dit was ’n groot sukses. “Dit is die eerste keer datons deelneemen daar is soveelmoeite gedoenmet die Luminaria-seremonie toe die kerse aangesteek is.

Chevrolet Trailblazer: to lead or to follow?NICK YELL

Will theChevrolet Trailblazer live up to itsname?

What’s in a name?Well, when it comes to off-road capable vehicles a lot it would seem. TakeToyota’s Land Cruiser, Land Rover’s Discov-ery andNissan’s Pathfinder – all evoke a senseof freedomtoexplore the landscapeatwill.AndChevrolet’s new Trailblazer has arguably themost evocativenameof themall; butwill it liveup to its name?On paper the newTrailblazer certainly ticks

all the boxes. The 2.8 litreDuramaxDiesel LTZ4x4 with 5-speed manual transmission I testedis a muscular-looking, well-built vehicle withmulti-link, independent coil spring suspen-sion; a lofty ground clearance of 231 mm;132 kWpowerand440Nmoftorque;goodanglesof approach and departure; traction control;ABSandaplethoraofothersafetyandcreaturecomforts to take you around town or off-roadin great style and comfort.I took the Trailblazer on an 800 km route *

I knowwell as I wanted to see how it comparedto previous experiences with other vehicles.The journey took in amixture of tar and gravel(30/70) as well as a couple of reasonably chal-lenging dirt track passes and a 20 km grade 2.5(average grading), 4x4 track on the farm Esel-jacht outside Sutherland.So what were my initial impressions? Be-

sides the instrument dials being a tad small formy liking, I found the ergonomics of the cabinsound and the vehicle’s overall performanceon tar more than adequate.But therewere twochallenges forme: second

and fifth gear. To my mind there’s too large agapbetweenfirstandsecondgearonthismodelwhich means you really need to get quite a bitof speed up in first in order for second gear topull comfortably. And I experienced the samebetween fouth and fifth gearwhere I found you

need to be going at least 120 km/h before thecar will pull reasonably in fifth gear. Poweredby a strong turbo, intercooled diesel engine,this didn’t make sense to me. It wasn’t asthoughwewere towing a trailer or overloaded,but perhaps the vehicle’s 2,750 kg mass meansyou need to drive it harder through the gearsthan I’m used to.Out of Montagu we took the dirt track to

Touws River via Ouberg Pass and the Bloutor-ingroad.Onflatstretchesofgravelandthroughmud and water-filled drifts the Trailblazer feltplanted and very capable. But when we wentabove80km/handexperiencedanyseriousun-dulations, such as a row of shallow potholesordeep corrugations, thebackwanted tobreakout to the right and I had to slow down to keep

the vehicle in a straightline.My first thought was

that the back right shockmight have gone and al-thoughHi-Q inHermanusfound it to be in orderwhen I got back, thesetests are, by their own ad-mission, not alwaysdefin-itive. They did, however,find some sideways playon some of the link armswhichmade them suspectsome of the bushes mayneed replacing.On speaking to Rob

Deas of GM’s engineeringdepartment he expressedsurprise saying:“Throughout the entirelaunch process we had nonegative comments re-garding this sort of prob-lem, but we’ll ensure thevehicle is looked over andget back to you on our

findings.”**Topping up the Trailblazer with petrol in

Touws River, I was pleased to see that I waspretty much achieving the claimed “extra-ur-ban” fuel consumption figures as we were us-ing just under 9 litre per 100 km on the openroad. I also decided to decrease the tyre pres-sures a bit and reduced the front tyres to 2.1bars and the back to 2.3 bars, just to see if thiswould diminish the back end’s skittishness alittle. Although it did help a bit, the problemon the well-travelled Ceres to Calvinia R355,with its numerous significantly corrugatedpatches, didn’t disappear altogether. ***Once we were onto the smoother, less-trav-

elled dirt tracks of the Tankwa, the superbeight-speaker sound system belting out a col-

lection of the latestGrammyAwardnominees,the Trailblazer seemed quite happy, as werewe. When we reached the second major passof the day, also called Ouberg, I was keen tosee how the vehicle handled the varied surfac-es, and in places, the 25 degree gradients. I se-lected hi-range four-wheel drive at the bottomof the pass and all went well until we hit someof the steeper slopes. I expected the vehicle topull upmost of these hills in second gear quiteeasily, but there were a number of places wehad to gear down to first and I decided that low-range would be a more comfortable option. Itcertainlydid the trickandwewereable to com-plete this magnificent pass with ease. As if tosalute our successful passage, a petite klip-springercrossed theroadaheadandthenposedfor us before bounding down a near-verticalslope.Our destination, the farm Eseljacht (21 km

north-east of Sutherland) allowed us to reallytest the Trailblazer’s off-road prowess. The20 km track which snakes through endemicdolerite boulder koppies across some shallowrivers andupsomeserious rocky slopes, testedmy 4x4 driving skills. In low-range, the Trail-blazer certainly lived up to its name and trans-ported myself and my three passengers overthis challenging 4x4 route safely, and in com-fort.So will the Trailblazer’s name become re-

vered in South Africa? Only time will tell.) *To retest some ofmy initial impressions,

I took the Trailblazer on another 1000 km jour-ney this time with a trailer over a ratio of tarto gravel of 90/10.

) ** & *** The vehicle was apparentlylooked over by a dealer, but my experience oftheback-end’s skittishness onpothole/heavilycorrugated surfaces only improved marginal-ly.Yet, after beingadvised to let the tyres downeven further, to 1.2 bars in front and 1.5 barsin theback, thehandlingwas considerablybet-ter on these sorts of surfaces.

Should guns be in homes?ANNETTE THERON

The unexpected and tragicdeath of Reeva Steenkamp, af-ter she was shot by Oscar Pis-torius, has sparked debatesabout responsible gun use.TheGazette asked residents ofCaledon whether they thinkguns should be allowed inhomes.

Cynthia Andries of Bot River saysguns should not be permitted inhomes. “It is dangerous having aweapon with children around. Theymight think it is a toy and it shouldbe kept in a safe, which many peo-ple don’t have.”

Gerhard vanWyk fromCaledon sayshe doesn’town a gun.“Peopleshould beable to pro-tect them-selves,though, in alife-threaten-ing situation.”

Gaynor Davis from Caledon saysguns should definitely not be al-lowed in homes. “Too often parentsare negligent and the gun ends upin the hands of innocent children.”

Maryke Gardiner says that shouldpeople choose to own a weapon,they must take full responsibility forit. “If theywish to protect themselves,the gun should be kept in a safe andonly be used for self- defence purpo-ses.”

Jacques Liebenberg believes a gunis a necessity. “With all the house-breaking and crime, how else mustyou protect yourself? One cannotcount on the police for protection.”

Leonard Er-asmus is notin favour ofhome own-ers owning agun. “It is toodangerous.”

God rus ons toe asGod rus ons toe asSy medewerkersSy medewerkers1 Kor 3:9 “Want ons is medewerkers van God;die akker van God, die gebou van God is julle.”

Sedert die skepping van die mens het Godnog altyd die mens betrek by dit wat Hy wildoen hier op aarde. Soos wat God die Vader Je-sus gestuur het vir ’n spesifieke doel, so stuurJesus ons as Sy kinders uit met ’n spesifiekedoel. Soos die Vader en die Seun saamgewerkhet, so werk ons saam met die Seun en die Heili-ge Gees.

Ons opdrag om die evangelie te verkondigensiekesgesondtemaak,hetsaammet ’nbelof-te gegaan nl., dat Hy ons nooit sal begewe ofverlaat nie.

As instrument in die hande van die LewendeGod kan ons die werk van die vyand vernietigen kragtig optree in die Naam van Jesus omdatons weet Hy is met ons.

Die Woord sê God doen niks tensy Hy Sy pro-fete geraadpleeg het nie. God het nie ons raadnodig nie, maar Hy maak Sy planne aan onsbekend sodat ons met Sy hulp en Sy krag dieKoninkryk van God hier op aarde kan vestig.

Elke gelowige, bekwaam of onbekwaam, is’n medewerker saam met Christus. Hy roep niebekwame mense nie, Hy roep die gewilliges enmaak hulle bekwaam.

Mark. 16:20 “Maar hulle het uitgegaan enoral gepreek, en die Here het saamgewerk endie Woord bevestig deur die tekens wat daaropgevolg het.”

Is jy bereid liewe leser, om as gelowige saammet Jesus te werk en kosbare siele van die ewi-ge hel te verlos?

God kan baie bereik met ’n gewillige hart.Seënwense vir die week

FANIE LANGTAND, Ou Krokkies afrigter

My word! But what does it REALLY mean?Wordworkerscaredeeplyabout themeaningand impact of words. A wrong word at thewrong time can have serious, even deadlyconsequences, as we all know. Wise womendo not comment on their partners’ variousabilities, just as sensible men do not reactcoolly to a new frock, hairdo or perfume.

The legal industry also works with words,but clearly its practitioners go about theirbusiness quite differently to us professionalwordsmiths. A criminal trial begins withthese words: “My client pleads not guilty”,usually pronounced in ringing tones andwith at least the appearance of utter convic-tion by a counsellor.

What if your client has already confesseda heinous crime to the police? No problem:as long as he or she had not been “read theirrights”, you were in business.

If you’ve ever watched a trial or been in-volved in one, you will know that what law-yers do with and to words is something quitedifferent to what the rest of us do. I waspresent at one of the very first hearings of

the Truth and Reconciliation Committee(TRC), in which former security operativeswere quizzed on their actions. One of them,troubled about having to make a full disclo-sure of his actions, had retained a top SC tospeak for him.

This silk had not been clearly briefed, andwhenaskedtospeakforhisclient,beganwitha ringing declaration of his client’s utter in-nocence.

He was gently informed that his client’sguilt or otherwise was irrelevant and that thelatter would be rewarded for being truthful,rather than being punished for it.

This idea was clearly so shockingly novelthat this normally voluble SC was renderedspeechless for at least 20 seconds, if not more.Once he’d made the mental leap, though, thehearing went like new custard.

Some of us had hoped that at least someof the lessons of the TRC would have an effecton our legal processes, but the big bucks areagain being earned by those keeping their cli-ents on the street by using the old, tested pro-

cesses. In fact, if telling thetruth is rewarded rather thanpunished (quite a solid Judaeo-Christian moral concept, inci-dentally), a large part of the le-gal industry’s business woulddisappear, which is exactly theproblem.

In those heady first years (itwas the best of times, &c ...),word workers were even pro-mised that legislation and liti-gation would use plain lan-guage. Wonderful! Poets andnovelists know well how pow-erful, meaningful concepts canbe expressed in simple, honestlanguage.

The hopeful tribe of scribes soon discov-ered, though, that turgid laws, ambiguouscontracts and impenetrable court languagewere the butter on the daily bread of manypowerful legal interests, so theirhopesofpar-ticipating in a process of making facts and

ideas more accessible to the many were soondashed. Ironically enough, the presently ad-vantaged members of the legal business em-braced legal fogginess with gusto, once theysaw what it was worth in the bank.– fouriejh@mweb.co.za

‘Winds of change’ will be bigger than stated‘Winds of change’ will be bigger than statedIn response to the article on 12 February “Wor-rying winds of change” about the environmen-tal assessment of a proposed 45 turbine windfarm spread over 3 783 hectares of countrysideeast of Bot River, the major worry should bethe large number of people who failed to turnup and see what might soon be a familiar sightin the Overberg.

In plain view of about 800 drivers every hourtravelling along the N2, some of the turbinesthat stand over 30 storeys high, with a bladediameter of 120 metres, will only be 350 metresfrom the R43 scenic road.

The statement from the developer that thevisual impact on Bot River is “low”, with thegreatest impact being from the R43 from Vil-liersdorp, does not reflect the specialist’s con-clusions that views to the east and northeastfrom Bot River will be intruded upon by theturbines.

This intrusion and the alteration of visualquality, character and sense of place cause amedium impact.

The impact at night from the flashing redlights on the turbines is also a medium impact.These two impacts cannot be considered “low”– they can and should influence the decisionon environmental authorisation.

The developer also implied that collisionrisks for birds and bats were insignificant; heomitted to say that the specialist study was in-complete and grossly underrated the potentialrisks to Blue Cranes and Denham Bustards.

The statement that the developer will “stayaway from areas where bats live and feed” dis-torts therealityshownbythespecialist’smaps,wheresometurbinesarewithinmetresoftheseareas.

To then suggest that the turbine blade design

has been in some way changed to prevent batsbeing killed is totally unrealistic.

The developer should know very well thatwind speed at turbine hub height is seldom thesame as at ground level. It often happens thatthereisenoughwindspeedtodrivetheturbine,but not enough where local farm residents liveto mask the turbine noise.

The minimum distance of 400 metres be-tween residential dwellings and the nearestturbineshasbeenestablishedbythedeveloper,contrary to the best international precautio-nary practice, and prior to the actual turbinesize and model being decided.

There is enough evidence to suggest thatsome people, under various operational andweather conditions, may develop significantsymptoms of sleep deprivation or worse medi-cal effects, caused by turbine noise pollutionthat the developer claims is zero.

Comments attributed to Mr J Reinecke ofStellenbosch University have already been re-vised in theGazette of 19 February, but are stilldisputed. In essence: The current Round 2 costof wind energy of 89c/unit is much more expen-sive when compared with the average cost ofelectricity from all sources now.

There will be no clean new-built coal untilthe new power station has been completed.

The “incredibly strict criteria” claimed tohave been used for this development are exag-gerated.

What about the important buffer zones alongthe R43 and N2 roads that were ignored?

Not only is the recycling of turbine blade ma-terials problematic at the moment, but whatabout the special magnetic alloys, the produc-tion of which causes such toxicity problems?

Wind farms not the way to goWind farms not the way to goHow do you kill 30 000 birds in a year? Easy.Just put upwind turbines andwatch, not onlyhow the avian population decreases, but batsas well in their thousands.Here are the relevant factswhich the gener-

al public should know.1. From ground level to the top of the blade

measures 156metres – only two buildings arehigher, they are the Carlton Centre in Johan-nesburg and the Ponte Centre in Hillbrow.2. Even if these blades are turning at 5 revo-

lutions perminute, the tip of the blade is trav-elling at 95 km per hour and this results inmassive bird strikes. Bats are killed becausethe rapid change of air pressure caused bywhirling blades unbalances their sonar abili-ties. In Denmark where these wind turbinesare responsible for only 9% of their electricaloff-take, 30 000birds arekilledper annum.An-other hazardous factors are the power cables,lines and substations where they are electro-cuted.3. Thenoise annoyance factor causedby the

turbines is higher than any industrial com-plexand increases radicallywith the increasein the speed of the blades.4. Carbon emissions are reduced, but this

is offset by the fact that coal or nuclear sta-tions still have to be on stand-by in case windspeed drops.5. Money is generated by selling “carbon

credits” to organisations which are deemedby the authorities to be producing high per-centage carbon dioxide, ozone andnitrous ox-ides. Theauthorities order the factory to limitthe emissions by buying these carbon creditsfrom the wind farms and they then just carryon as per normal in polluting the atmospherewhich is just another scam to capitalise onmaking money with the excuse that we aregoing to create cleaner air.6. British Prime Minister David Cameron

has stated that wind farms developed in theEnglish countryside have been “over-subsi-dised and are a complete waste of publicmon-ey”.7. California’s big three wind energy crea-

tions, Altamont Pass, Tehachapin and SanGorgonia, considered the best wind sites inthe world, are now littered with 14 000 tur-bines which have been abandoned and arespinning post industrial junk which gener-atesnothingbutmassivebirdkills. InHawaii,the 27-year-oldKamaoawind farmhas 100 tur-bines standing and rusting as they proved tobe an economic failure.Currently, there are 6 000 applications in

theWesternandEasternCape forwind farms.Imagine the destruction of the visual impactof this beautiful countryside with thousandsof these monstrous towers being erected.Apart from the devastation of birds and bats,there is the damage to the environment andfarming land to accommodate access roads togenerators and power lines to link with theexisting network.We, in the Overberg, are an international

birding paradise and also home to our nation-al Blue Crane. A wind farm at Dassiesklipnear Caledon has already been approved inprinciple by the authorities and the TWKMu-nicipality. This is only the beginning! To pre-serve our environment which relies heavilyon tourism, we need to unite and oppose theimpending terror of these wind farms whichare just another form of “money spinners”benefiting nobody but the financial investorswho are misleading the public under the ban-ner that they are concerned in the control ofcarbon emissions. In reality, the picture isdire – the investors are motivated by large fi-nancial rewards as has happened worldwide.They have grown rich in subsidies for thisform of renewable energy at a tragic cost tothe thousands who stand to gain nothing, ex-cept for the destruction of themagnificent en-vironment in which they have chosen to live.We should take note of the failure of this

form of renewable energy which has takenplace in other parts of the world and realisethat development of wind farms is not an op-tion.

My oproep aan die landMy oproep aan die landEk het ook in 2001 ’n suster aan die dood af ge-staan. Sy is ook–- soos Anene Booysen – wreedvermoor.Sy het ook haar aanvaller geken.Die verdagte het die wet vry gespring, maar

God het self die doodsvonnis uitgespreek. Dieaanvaller is in ’n trompop-botsing dood.Anene Booysen is dood. Dit is te laat vir hoe-

koms en waaroms. Dit is te vroeg om te ver-staan hoe morele agtergeblewenes ’n mede-mens so kan behandel.Selfs die ergste graad van bedwelmdheid is

nie ’n verklaring nie. Daar skort iets baie die-per - en ons mag dit nie vergeet nie!Anene Booysen se dood is ’n keerpunt in die

verrotting wat op die rug van vryheid sedert1994 geil groei in ons land - onsmag dit nie ont-ken nie.Tot hiertoe is ver genoeg. Nou begin ons te-

rugkap teen verdere verval – stap vir stap.Ter ere van Anene Booysen toi-toi ons en eis

ons ’n referendum oor die doodstraf. Ons magnie vergeet dat in ’n ware demokratiese land,die stem van die mense die hoogste gesag isnie.Omons tehelp omdit te onthou, herdoopons

All Saints-straat in Bredasdorp na die AneneBooysen Lydensweg met ’n gedenksteen.Om ons te help om die marteling en dood te

verwerkeisons ’n landswyereferendumonderdie beheer van die Onafhanklike Verkiesings-kommissie.Om ons te help om die klad op die gemeen-

skap dood te vee eis ons dat die uitslag van dieburgerlike stelling voor Kersfees terugwer-kend tot 1994 uitgevoer moet word.As u graag wil sien dat die straat hernoem

word en wil hê dat die doodstraf weer ingestelmoet word, e-pos my by res30sa-ma@gmail.com.U ondersteuning kan ’n verskil maak.

Wykskomitee­verkiesing van wyk 7 inWykskomitee­verkiesing van wyk 7 inBotrivier – is dit ‘stoomroller­taktiek’?Botrivier – is dit ‘stoomroller­taktiek’?Op7Februarie vind ek ’nkennisgewingbywy-se van ’n strooibiljet by die sporte van mymo-torhek ingedruk, ondanks die feit dat daar ’nposbus op ’n baie opsigtelike plek aangebringis vir daardie doel. Ekwas een van die gelukki-ges, want so ver daar vasgestel kon word hetniemand in ons onmiddellike omgewing soda-nige kennisgewing ontvang nie. Hierdie ken-nisgewing beliggaam ’n uitnodiging om ver-teenwoordigers te nomineer wat op die wyks-komitee van wyk 7 kan dien.Met groot omhaal van woorde word daar in

die aanhef van die kennisgewing verduidelikdat Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit verbondeis tot effektiewe en volhoubare plaaslike rege-ring (ek wonder wie dit nou nog glo).Voorts word beweer dat daar geglo word dat

deelnemende demokrasie nie ’n alternatief of’n keuse is nie, maar ’n konstitusionele regvankiesers.Welhierhetekookernstigebeden-kinge, want in kursivering word daar op diekennisgewing aangedui dat nominasies virwykskomiteelede moet geskied per amptelikevorm wat by die Botrivier-dorpskantoor be-skikbaar is en dat nominasievorms deur min-stens vyf gemeenskapslede onderteken moetword. Sluitingsdatums vir nominasies isDins-dag 12 Februarie 2013.Aangevuur deur woorde in die kennisge-

wingsoos“vennootskaptussendiemunisipali-teit en die gemeenskap” en “wykskomitees is

’n vername struktuur vir gemeenskappe omhul sê te sê” sit ek toe af na die dorpskantoorom ’n nominasie vorm te bekom. Daar wordekingeligdatnominasievormseersopdieaandvan die vergadering op 12 Februarie beskik-baar sal wees. Was ek verbaas? Nee, nogal nie.Die enigste vraag waarmee ek tans worstel

is die volgende: “Bevestig hierdie insident netweereens die onbekwaamheid van sommigemunisipale amptenare of is hier dalk iets on-derduims aan die gang, deurdat die volgendewykskomiteeledereedsinplekisendatdiever-gadering ’n blote formaliteit is?”Waar moet ek byvoorbeeld op die aand van

die vergadering vyf persone vind om ’n nomi-nasie te onderteken? Indien ek eerder bewuswas van die gebrekkige proses kon ek my eiestrategie uitgewerk het.Gaan hierdie stoomroller-taktiek van die

munisipaliteit weereens werk sodat daar nog’n paar geboue in ons dorp afgebrand kanword?

STEYN KUNZ, BotrivierStiffie Cronjé, adjunkdirekteur in die kan-toor van die munisipale bestuurder, ant-woord:Mnr. Kunz is welkom om die sake waarna hy

in sy skrywe verwys direk met die kantoor vandie munisipale bestuurder op te neem.Die TWK-munisipaliteit gaan nie in ’n debat

EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCEDepArtMent of HeAltH

Building onanother’s plotWith the high cost of purcha-sing or renting a house, manypeople are now turning tobuilding granny flats or otherstructures on the properties ofmembers of their family. TheLegalAidBoardprovides someadviceonsettinguphassle-freeagreements.

Arrangements are mostly inplace to deal with payments in re-spect of water and electricitycharges. These arrangementsusually work well as long as therelationship between the partiesis amicable.The problems arise when the

parties have arguments or whenthe original owners of the proper-ty pass away. It is for this reasonthat, before building commencesonthepropertyofanother,allpar-ties involvedmustbeawareof thelegal implications of their ac-tions.Erecting a building on the land

of another, evenwith the owner’sconsent, has the effect that thebuilding becomes one with theland. Thus the owner of the landowns the building too.Butwhat happens to themoney

invested in erecting the building?The erection of a granny flat orother structureusuallyhas theef-fect of improving the land and in-creasingthevalueoftheproperty.This means the owner of the land

can now sell the property at ahigher price than previously.Generally speaking, the personwhoerectedabuildingonthelandof another with such other per-son’s consent is entitled to claimeither the actual amount spent onthe building or the amount bywhich the value of the landown-er’s property has been enhanced.To avoid problems at a later

stage, thelandownermayregisterthe right of use of the person whoerected the dwelling. This regis-tration takes place at the Regis-trar ofDeeds. Thismeans that theoccupier is protected in his use ofthe building in the event of thelandlordselling thepropertyor intheeventofanotherperson inher-iting the property. Bear in mind,though, that this right of use ex-tends only to the occupier duringhisorherlifetime.Whentheoccu-pier dies, he may not bequeaththis right to a third party. This isan important consideration sinceit could leave his children and/orspouse without accommodation.It is therefore necessary to seek

legal advice from an attorneywhen buildings are to be erectedon the land of another. Not doingso, could have potentially disas-trous results forboth the landlordand the occupier of the building.

te dinge deesdae ophierdie “verkoopteen”-beginsel ge-baseer is, werk dielewe ongelukkigniedieselfdenie. Jyweet nie wat jou“verkoop teen”-da-tum is nie en dit be-moeilik aftreebe-planning.Jy moet redelik vroeg in die le-

we aandag gee aan aftreebeplan-ning om te verseker dat jy genoegfondse beskikbaar het vir wan-neer jy heelwat ouer is.• 20’s – In jou 20’s moet jy fokus

op die afbetaling van enige uit-staande skulde soos oortrokke fa-siliteite, kredietkaartskuld, stu-dentelenings, ensovoorts.• 30’s – In jou 30’s mag dit nodig

Overberg schools excel at LitnumANNETTE THERON

Two local schools, Overberg Highand Overberg Primary, achievedexcellent results at the Litnumaward ceremony.

MECofEducationDonaldGrantap-plauded the achievements of schoolsthat have produced excellent resultsand improvements in their grade 3, 6and 9 language and mathematics sys-temic tests in 2012, at De Hoop Prima-ry on Tuesday 19 February.He said this year’s testing was par-

ticularly valuable to them as the de-partment is now in a position to com-pareandcontrast the2012resultswiththose of the previous year. “This hasallowed the WCED to determine if itsstrategies in literacy and numeracyare yielding positive results.”Grant congratulated the schools in

the category of excellence for theirperformance in these tests. “Ifwe con-sider the extensive expertise and ex-perience in system level evaluation –and assessment the CEA offers andthat these tests instruments are inlinewith international systemic eval-uations, results such as the one’sachieved by schools in this category– are most noteworthy.”Eddie Labuschagne, principal of

OverbergHigh said themaths depart-ment is incredibly proud of theawards theyreceived fromtheWCED.“We were awarded a prize of R20 000for improvement in performance inmathematics for grade 9 and a furtherprize of R13 000 for pursuing the goalsof themathematicsandsciencestrate-gy which include improving the par-

ticipation rate, as 82,8% of our learn-ers took maths as a subject from 2010to 2012.”Marius Koekemoer, principal at

Overberg Primary, says he is veryproud of his teachers and pupils afterwinning an award for sustained im-provement in maths achievement(grade 6). Small Ovies took secondplace in theWesternCape in this cate-gory and for this remarkable achieve-ment they received R20 000 that theschoolwill spendon technology in theclassroom as it fits nicely in theschool’s plan to use technology in theclassroom to support the teaching.Koekemoeradded that this is the re-

sult of joint hard work and effort ofhard work of dedicated teachers fromgr 1 to 6. He said the teachers of Over-bergPrimaryarepreparedtowalkthe

extramile.“That iswhyyouseeteach-ers’ cars parked at the school late intothe night.”
