JANINE VAN DER RIETDie soektog na drie jong seuns
wat Saterdag 7 Desember vermoedelik verdrink het tydens ’n
uitstappie na Hawston-strand
duur nog voort en geen liggaam
is nog gevind nie.
Die drie seuns wat vermoedelik
verdrink het, was saam met familie
en vriende by die jaarlikse Hawston
Hermanus NSRI het aanvanklik
inligting ontvang dat vyf mense die
see ingetrek is.
Twee van die seuns wat in die
moeilikheid was, het egter ongedeerd uitgeswem terwyl die ander
drie – Antonio Fischer (15), Rojei
Spanneberg (19) en Chelton Biewes
(12) – nog nie gevind is nie.
Die voorval het net ná 14:00 gebeur. Die strand in Hawston was gepak met feesgangers wat besorg toegekyk het terwyl lede van die NSRI,
polisie, wetstoepassing, ’n Skymed
helikopter, EMR en EMS ambulansen reddingsdienste gehelp het in die
soektog na die seuns wat onder die
branders verdwyn het.
Hulle is almal afkomstig van
Kalkfontein naby Philippi. Die polisie se duikeenheid soek steeds na
die vermistes met die hulp van die
Hermanus-polisie en -wetstoepassing.
Wetstoepassers en lede van die polisie het ook intussen op vierwielmotorfietse die kus tussen Kleinmond en Meer en See en Die Plaatgefynkam in die hoop dat die liggame daar uitgespoel het. Maar tot
dusver is niemand gevind nie.
Intussen verleen lede van die polisie bystand aan die families.
het met skok die nuus van die drie
vermiste jong mense ontvang.
Volgens Don Kearney, Hermausareabestuurder by Overstrand-munisipaliteit, sal lewensredders eers
vanaf 15 Desember 2013 tot 15 Januarie 2014 op Hawston se strand diens
Kearney het beklemtoon dat
Hawston slegs die seremoniële hysing van die Blouvlag op 29 November gevier het en dat die vlag direk
daarna gestryk is. Die Blouvlagstatus vir Hawstonstrand geld eers
vanaf 15 Desember tot 15 Januarie.
“Die Hawston Seefees, wat die naweek by Hawston se kampeerterrein gehou is, het geen aktiwiteite
op die strand beplan nie. Daar is wel
sedert 29 November lewensredders
aan diens by Hawston se swembad
wat teenaan die kampeerterrein geleë is,” het Kearney verduidelik.
Larenzo Isaacs, senior superintendent: verkeer, sê wetstoepassingsbeamptes was oral tydens die
Seefees sigbaar en het talle mense
verbied om na die strandgebied te
gaan “juis omdat soveel met drank
daarheen wou loop en ander reeds
Ongelukkig was hierdie voorkomende optrede telkemale met ’n gevloek en aggressie begroet, het
Isaacs gesê.TOYOTA DEMOS

Hermanus Toyota wishes all his clients a Merry Christmas
Many thanks for your support over the past year. May the
festive season be a joyful time with your loved ones.Sabit Khobwe had only arrived in Hermanus a few weeks ago and was employed
According to Vogelgat’s warden, Giorgio
Lombardi, they were busy with repair work
on the bridges in the kloof, which had been
damaged by heavy rains and recent flooding.
While Giorgio and another labourer were
working on the bridge close to the main waterfall, Sabit was working nearby, cutting
wood to be used as rungs for a ladder.
“The next thing the labourer shouted at me
that Sabit was lying on the ground,” says
Giorgio. “My immediate reaction was that it
might have been heat stroke, so I filled my
broad-rimmed hat and splashed water over
him, but there was no reaction.”
Giorgio says they turned Sabit over and he
tried to resuscitate him, but Sabit had no
pulse and no chest movement was visible.
“I scurried along the flood-strewn debristo my office from where I called Overberg
Fire and Rescue and reported a possible heart
attack,” says Giorgio.
Ambulance and emergency services were
dispatched and a helicopter arrived shortly.
In spite of strong winds, the pilot managed
to drop a paramedic at the scene in the ravine
to determine Sabit’s medical condition. He
confirmed that Sabit was dead. The likely
cause of death was a berry aneurysm.
Giorgio is full of praise for Reinhard
Geldenhuys, Overberg disaster manager,
and all the dedicated rescue workers.
“As a Muslim, Sabit had to be buried before
sunset and although there are a few mosques
in our area, there are no burial grounds, so
we had to transport the body to the Strand,”
“The elders and priests of the mosques welcomed us with grace and gentle concern for
Sabit and his family. I would like to thank
them for the way they took care of us all.”
Sabit leaves behind his wife and two young
children in Malawi.Verdagtes in OTM bedrog word
wéér gesoek na saak geopen is
Verlede week is berig in “Twee gevang vir
ATM-bedrog” dat Gerald Cloete, hoof van
sekuriteit by Gateway-sentrum, die man
is wie se bankkaart gesteel is.
Dit was egter nie Cloete wat deurgeloop
het nie, maar wel ’n ander bankkliënt. Dit
is te danke aan Cloete se oplettendheid en
spoedige optrede dat die verdagtes aangekeer is.
Hy het die verdagtes dopgehou nadat
hulle ’n man se bankkaart gesteel het en
hulle agterna gesit waar hulle eers by die
Total-motorhawe geld gaan trek het.
Cloete het intussen die polisie ontbied.
Hy het hulle verder gevolg tot in die dorp
waar hulle by Nedbank in die hoofstraat
gestop het om geld te trek.
Hierna is hulle na Checkers waar die polisie die drie verdagtes in hulle blou Toyota Tazz in hegtenis geneem het ná Cloete
die polisie op hoogte gehou het oor waar
die verdagtes hulself bevind.
Die verdagtes is egter ná ’n paar uur van
aanhouding vrygelaat, omdat die polisie
na bewering geen bewyse teen die drie
mans gehad het nie en die oorspronklike
bankkaarteienaar nie ’n saak gemaak het
Cloete sê egter hy het beeldmateriaal
op sy selfoon asook ander inligting oor die
verdagtes sedert hy hulle die eerste keer
in Julie vanjaar by Gateway gewaar het.Nadat hulle aangekeer is, het hy die polisie gevra dat die speurder hom kontak sodra die speurder aan diens kom sodat hy
sy inligting kon oordra.
Maar toe Cloete ’n paar uur later weer
by die polisiestasie opdaag, is hy meegedeel dat die verdagtes, na wie Cloete al
maande soek, intussen vrygelaat is.
Saterdag was Cloete se afdag, maar hy
het besluit om in sy gewone klere die verdagtes by Gateway in te wag, en sodoende
kon die polisie die mans in hegtenis neem.
Hy het sy gesinstyd opgeoffer om die
verdagtes te laat aankeer, maar voel nou
dit was alles verniet gewees.
Die saak teen die drie verdagtes is
Woensdag, 4 Desember geopen nadat die
bankkaarteienaar ’n saak aanhangig gemaak het, en na die polisie Cloete se verklaring geneem het, maar die verdagtes
is nog steeds op vrye voet.
Volgens Cloete is die sekuriteit by die
winkelsentrum al ’n geruime tyd opgeskerp en verskeie sekuriteitsbeamptes
werk ongesiens in gewone klere om meer
verdagtes vas te trek.
Fadila September, woordvoerder van
Hermanus Polisie, sê meeste van die sowat 40 insidente van kitsbank-bedrog sedert begin vanjaar, het plaasgevind in die
Hermanus sakekern, die industriële gebied en die Gateway-sentrum, waar net
vyf van die insidente voorgekom het. Alle
sake word egter nie altyd aangemeld nie.Hermanus TimesNuus
NewsThe family of Egyptian geese with their 11
chicks.12 December, 2013The swarm of around 30 000 bees.Bee man Wessel Beukes collects the swarm
PHOTOS: KURT MULLNERBees scare you? Call the bee man
On Saturday a huge swarm of bees settled
on a flower pot; on Monday a family of
wild geese traipsed by – nobody knows
what kind or number of ‘wild life’ may
flock to their neighbourhood next, says
Sandbaai resident Kurt Mullner.
The geese were adorable, less so the swarmof bees that started homing in towards late
afternoon on Saturday. “From the front door
we saw what looked like little insects flying
around, but then noticed the swarm collecting on the pot plant,” says Mullner.
Local bee man Wessel Beukes was contacted and he set about scooping the bees gently
into a wooden box and took them away to be
released in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
“This was a moderately-sized swarm; big-ger swarms can have up to 50 000 bees,” says
Beukes. “This one I would estimate at 30 000.”
Beukes, who is a bee hobbyist/farmer, can
be contacted on 076 832 4719.
“I encourage people to not harm or kill
bees, but rather to phone me and I will come
out to remove them. Bees are a crucial part
of life. It’s a fact that almost 70% of all the
crops that provide 90% of human food are pollinated by bees.”Computer

Hermanus, also received a phone call

The person requested Don to follow

Kyle Steenkamp from Maxitec Internet Services in Hermanus says
there was a similar scam in Hermanus
“It is a person with a strong Indian
accent who calls random landline
numbers and says he is from Microsoft.
“The story he tells people is that
there is a Windows security issue and

That, according to Kyle, is the
warning signal, as this enables the
scammer to log into your computer

Victims are then assured that the
problem can be fixed if they pay a
certain amount of money in dollars.
“It’s a global scam and not limited
to South Africa” says Kyle.
The public is warned to not follow
any prompts and to end any dubious

in twyfel getrek van boetes wat op Sondag
25 Augustus uitgereik is omdat ’n munisipale
uniform aangehad het nie.
Die Theewaterskloof Gazette het advokaat
Christhénus van der Vijver by die Direktoraat van Openbare Vervolging gevra of motoriste klagtes gelê het en ook of die spoedteken
op die N2 wettig is.
Van der Vijver het bevestig dat sy kantoor
met die relevante rolspelers van die Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit, het ons opdrag gegee dat slegs die sake wat tydens die oggendskof van 07:30 tot 14:00 geregistreer is, mee
voortgegaan mag word. Die ander sake wat
op dieselfde dag in die pas geregistreer is,
moet onmiddellik teruggetrek word.
“Ek is meegedeel dat desondanks dié kantoor se opdrag op 26 Augustus dat daar geen
prosessering van hierdie sake moes plaasvind nie, die verkeersdepartement steeds
kennisgewings uitgereik het.”
Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit, het by navraag hieroor gesê sake van 25 Augustus is
met advokaat Van der Vijver uitgeklaar.“Alle sake is voortgesit behalwe dié wat die
middag van 25 Augustus deur ’n wetstoepassingsbeampte hanteer is wat nie in volledige
uniform geklee was nie.”
Hy sê voorts sake wat spruit uit spoedoortredings die oggend van 25 Augustus en dié
van die middag wat deur ’n ander wetstoepasser hanteer is, is voortgesit.
Van der Vijver sê voorts, onder geen omstandighede mag wetstoepassing deur kameras geskied waar daar nie ’n kamerateken
aangebring is wat motoriste se aandag op
hierdie feit vestig nie. “Ek stem verder saam
dat volgens die foto (hierbo) die 80 km-teken
van toepassing is op motoriste wat vanaf Hermanus aansluit. Indien dit dus die enigste teken is wat vir motoriste aandui dat die spoedbeperking 80 km per uur in die pas is, is dit
totaal onvoldoende vir motoriste wat vanaf
Botrivier se rigting kom.”
’n Inwoner van Caledon wat ’n boete ontvang het, het op 2 en 3 Oktober daar gery,
vas onder die indruk die spoedgrens is 100
km/uur. Groot was sy ontsteltenis toe hy
twee boetes ontvang wat aandui hy het die
spoedgrens oortree. “Ek is ’n wetsgehoorsame burger en hou altyd by die spoedperk. Ek
was onder die indruk dat die spoedperk op
dié deel van die N2 100 km/uur is.”
Cronjé sê die kamerabordjie is op 23 Oktober vanjaar verwyder. “Dit is nie seker wie
die bordjie verwyder het nie, maar dit is weg.
Die afleiding is dus dat dit wederregtelik verwyder is.” Sedert die verwydering van die
spoedgrensbord is geen spoedlokvalle op
daardie deel van die pad gehou nie.
Die munisipaliteit het Sanral, wat verantwoordelik vir instandhouding langs nasionale paaie is, versoek om weer die kamerabordjie aan te bring, waarna spoedlokvalle
kan voortgaan. “Die munisipaliteit meen die

Van die stipulasies in Gordon se testament is dat die kerk nooit die plaas

Haar testament bepaal verder dat

dis net hier waar die moeilikheid inkom, sê De Kock.

“Ek weet die testament beskerm
die regte van die plaasarbeiders en
hulle gesinne wat in Gordon se tyddaar gewoon het, maar van hulle is
daar net etlikes oor wat ’n direkte afstammeling is. Die ander het van elders gekom en is aanhangsels wat eenvoudig hulle intrek geneem het. Hier
is tans sowat 20 gesinne en hulle word
ál meer – dis besig om in ’n plakkerskamp te ontaard.”
Volgens De Kock word drank op
groot skaal misbruik. “Hulle breek alles af; toe ek teen groot onkoste ’n
draadheining gespan het vir kampe vir
’n paar beeste en om die plaas netjies
te maak, het hulle die drade afgeknip.
Hulle het onwettige kraglyne aangelê
van my huis af. Nou het my elektrisiteitsrekening die hoogte in geskiet en
hulle verwag dat ek dit moet betaal.”
De Kock sê die oorspronklike opstal,
met Gordon se huis, buitegeboue en
perdebegraafplaas, is in ’n haglike toestand. “Dis veronderstel om ’n nasionale monument te wees wat bewaar word,
maar daar woon nou mense in al die
geboue, selfs die stalle, en hulle bou
orals aan. Die pype bars aanmekaar en
die water is vuil. Die begraafplaas se
muurtjie is afgebreek om plek te maak
vir hulle dooies, wat ook nou daar begrawe word. Dis ’n skande.”De Kock sê hy het al herhaaldelik die toestand onder die aandag
gebring van Sid Stadler, die verhuringsagent van Mcisa Property Managers, die agentskap wat
deur die Morawiese Kerk gestig
is om hul kerkeiendom te bestuur en verhuur.
“Hy sê net ons sal ’n plan

Een van Karwyderskraal se

(79), sê egter De Kock het self sy
probleme geskep. “Die huurder

“Dis ’n ellendige lot dié. Ek betaal
hulle ’n regverdige loon en vat
hulle vas, want al wat hulle ken

om rond te lê nie.”
Capot woon al 53 jaar op Karwyderskraal. Hy sê: “In Ella Gordon se tyd was dit ’n mooi plaas.
Sy het mooi na haar mense gekyk
maar sy was ook baie streng. Nou
het die plaas baie agteruitgegaan. Dis kommerwekkend.”
Capot skryf hierdie agteruitgang onder meer toe aan die jongklomp wat te veel drink. Hy sê
ook die kerk neem geen notisie
van hulle nie en dat geen inkomste van die plaas nog ooit aangewend is tot voordeel van die inwoners nie.

Friday 6 December just after 14:00.
The boy, Wongalethu Joy Shumane, is the son of Zandile Shumane,

Three police vehicles arrived on
the scene and police officers blocked
off the road while paramedics attended to Wongalethu.

speeding. He heard the impact when
the motorbike collided with the boy.

bring en mediasie tussen die partye
te bewerkstellig. “Hulle reageer
eenvoudig nie,” sê Beyers-Cronjé.
“Daar is al herhaaldelik oor die
jare ondersoeke en aanbevelings gedoen om die mense se grondregte te
beskerm, maar daar kom nooit iets
van nie,” beaam Turkstra.

by Grootbos aangebied
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Wynindeks (SAWi)

keer by die luukse Grootbos Natuurreservaat buite Gansbaai aangebied.
Verlede jaar het hierdie spoggeleentheid
by die Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa buite
Vanuit die sowat 750 wynkelders wat
landwyd beoordeel word, het slegs sowat 30
in aanmerking gekom om SAWi-topwyn
toekennings te ontvang.
Projekbestuurder van SAWi, Izak Smit,
sê hierdie pryse word nie toegeken aan wynplase wat slegs een goeie oesjaar beleef het
nie, maar gaan dit eerder oor wynmakers
wat oor ’n hele paar jaar topwyne oplewer.
Mede-eienaar van Grootbos, Michael Lutzeyer, en sy personeel het vir ’n onvergeetlike aand gesorg deur net die beste van alles
aan die gaste voor te sit, onder meer asemrowende disse soos kreefstert en gerookte forel. Natuurlik was dit ook slegs topwyne wat
op die spyskaart was, want hoe dan nou anders as jy jouself in die geselskap met sulke
kaliber wynmakers bevind?
Beide Cederberg Wynkelder en Bouchard
Finlayson in die Hemel-en-Aarde-vallei het
met die gesogte top-toekenning van die
aand, naamlik Beste Wynkelder, gespog.
David Nieuwoudt van Cederberg Wynkelder is aangewys as Wynmaker van die Jaar.
Nieuwoudt kon egter nie self die toekenning
ontvang nie aangesien hy tydens die geleentheid in China was.
Hamilton Russell-wynlandgoed se Chardonnay het vir die tweede agtereenvolgende
jaar die Witwyn van die Jaar trofee gewen.
Rijks Wynkelder se Pinotage en Saronsberg se Full Circle het gesamentlik met die
Rooiwyn van die Jaar trofee weggestap.
Hierdie jaar was daar ook ’n paar nuwelinge by die SAWi-toekennings, waaronder
Constantia Glen, Cape Chamonix, De Morgenzon, De Trafford, Sumaridge en Joubert
KWV en Distell het elk 10 toekennings
ontvang (vir brandewyn ook), gevolg deur
Bouchard Finlayson met nege, Saronsberg
met agt, Rustenberg, Hamilton Russell en
Cederberg Wynkelder met ses elk en Rijks
en Groot Constantia beide met vyf.
Die topkultivar-toekennings het gegaan
aan Hamilton Russell (Chardonnay), Cederberg Wynkelder (Sauvignon blanc), Stellenrust (vatgegiste Chenin blanc), Cederberg

General12 December, 2013Madiba’s ‘vibe’ lives on
Maeve Dewar is a South African
artist who has lived in Hermanus
for almost 20 years. Her home
and studio is situated high on a
hill in Vermont.
She says she is a bit of hermit, as
she prefers being alone, living in
quiet and peace and completely immersed in her work. Researching,
painting and creating awareness of
the beauty and significance of trees
and ancient forests has become her
passion and way of giving something back to future generations.
However, a journey which began
ten weeks ago, has changed Dewar’s
life in an unexpected way.
Dewar says she received a private
commission from clients in Cape
Town for a painting of Tata Madiba.
“My brief was: it must be 1 x 1 metre,
and ‘we want to feel his vibe’,” she
“I was stunned. Can you imagine
painting the most famous man on
earth?” she asks.
“This was surely one of the big-gest challenges I have had as an artist, because I did not train as a portrait painter. It was surely also one
of the most incredible journeys I
have ever had, and it took over two
and a half months to complete.”
The medium Dewar used for her
Tata Madiba painting is oil. She describes the process as both agony
and ecstasy. She researched her
subject thoroughly and says she did
not want Mandela’s teeth or his
shirts. “I wanted his inside, his essence.”
On completing the painting, Dewar made an appointment for the final handing over, but twice the arrangement was cancelled and rescheduled over the next three
“Life is weird and wonderful, because finally, when we arrived at
the agreed date, which was 5 December, I handed the painting of Madiba
over at 18:30 that evening,” explains
“Literally a few hours later I
heard the sad news that Tata
Madiba had passed away.”
She says suddenly the paintingtook on a new significance both for
herself as the artist and for the clients. “I believe in that synchronicity.”
Dewar says her clients, who have
bought her work before, “were over
the moon” about the portrait.
“What an honour for me and a
great privilege to experience this
journey with Tata,” says Dewar.
“Every day I would greet him in the
morning when I went into my studio
and we would talk all day long as I
went through the process of trying
to capture the beauty of this wonderful soul.”
Dewar who has been a professional artist for 40 years, says on her
website: “If I could reach and soften
each and every soul whose eyes and
hearts glance at my work and also
create an awareness of things unseen, a mindfulness of all of life, I
will have achieved my life’s work
She says: “The vibe of Tata is on
the walls of my studio forever but
I know I will never again have this
incredible and magical experience.”Tata Madiba, oil painting by Maeve Dewar.9PHOTO: SUPPLIEDArtist Maeve Dewar, in her

This beautiful sunset over the
weekend was captured by
Onrus Manor resident Jea­
nette Kotze, who found the
perfect spot behind a con­
trasting green bush. “It was
around 19:00 on Saturday
when I took the photo. When
I saw the sky it reminded me
of my father saying: ‘Look
up, and enjoy the greatness
of God’. The whole sky was
this beautiful colour and in
the west, the sun was just
disappearing.”A time to mourn and
Saying goodbye to Nelson Mandela is
proving to be quite difficult.
Although we knew his end was near,
the announcement of his death on 5 December brought every South African
to a collective standstill. For a moment
we held our breath and realised it was
the news we were silently dreading.
Madiba’s death has grabbed headlines and platforms around the world
and there has been unprecedented
mourning for a man who touched everyone, even ordinary people who had
But the impact of his life and death
has had a profound affect on all of us.
And perhaps in this week of introspection we may have only just started to
realise just how much our lives have
been affected by this great man.
The broadcasts of tributes to Mandela have made us focus on why the world
loved him, and why the whole world
showed up to say farewell to him. Also,
why the tears flow quietly when sorrow and a sense of loss overwhelm us.
And yet, the lingering image of
Madiba is of him with an ever-smiling
face; a radiant and positive attitude,
and a kind and gracious demeanour.
He led by example and now it’s up to
each of us to follow in his footsteps.
Let’s honour him.
Let’s emulate him.
And let’s celebrate all that he stood
We live in Sandbaai. On the corner of Jan van
Riebeeck and Long Streets, Sandbaai there is
a big sewerage drain on the side of the road.
A few months ago this whole drain and all its
pipes were dug up and replaced.
I don’t know what the problem was, but they
worked there for a long time. Now there is sewage running out of this drain into the gutter
and down the road for a block. (This is the
end of Long Street at the coast.)
It smells terrible and we have reported it
to the municipality on several occasions but
they just say they are aware of it. We have
even reported it to Ben Solomon, who has been
to look at it, but so far nothing has been solved.
These are the worst kind of germs that I
know of and so far this problem hasn’t been
solved. The holiday season will start soon and
lots of people walk down Long Street to the
beach.HUMAN, SANDBAAI.(Peter Burger, Senior Manager: Operational, comments:We are in the process of rectifying the problem, which manifested itself
subsequent to the initial construction.)PHOTO: JEANETTE KOTZEMoenie dat ‘n dronkaard jou Kersgees knak nie
’n Paar weke gelede was daar ’n SMS in die
Hermanus Times van iemand wat gesê het
watter vreeslike seisoen Kersfees elke jaar
is, omdat ’n dronk persoon dan al die versierings, presente en Kersfeesgees verwoes.
Dit skok my dat ek geen reaksie hierop gesien het nie, veral in hierdie tyd waarin ons
spesifiek kyk na geweld teenoor vrouens en
kinders. Hopelik is daar ander mense wat ook
nou sal reageer om jou moed in te praat.
My hart het uitgegaan na jou, want vir agt
jaar van my lewe was die Kersseisoen vir my
ook ’n nagmerrieseisoen wat ek met ’n beklemming om my hart gevrees het. Op 16 Desember vanjaar sal dit 30 jaar wees dat ek met
hulp van Bo en dierbare vriende my baba- en
kleuterdogter geneem het en uitgestap het, en
vandag kan ek net terugkyk en die Here loof
vir twee pragtige kinders en jare van genade.
Ek wil vir jou en ander sê ek weet dis nie
so maklik soos dit klink nie. Dit was seker
die moeilikste ding wat ek nog ooit moes doen.
As jy ’n kind is, het niemand die reg om jou
so te behandel nie, al is dit jou pa of jou ma.
Ja, die Bybel sê jy moet jou ouers respekteer,
maar hulle moet ook daardie respek verdien!
Moenie skaam of bang wees nie – gaan praat
met iemand wat jy vertrou, soos ’n onderwyseres of iemand by die welsyn, kerk of polisie.
Hoe gouer jy dit doen, hoe gouer beskerm
jy dalk ook jou ma of jou broers en susters.
Jy verdien ’n beter lewe, jy het niks gedoen
om dit te verdien nie. Dis nie jou skuld nie!
En ma/pa, ek het jarelange ondervinding
as hoërskoolonderwyseres. Moenie jou oë toemaak en jouself wysmaak hy/sy is nie besig
om met jou kind/ers te lol nie. Beskerm jou
kinders, luister na hulle, dis waarvoor jy daar
As jy die vrou (of soms die man) is, ek weet
hoe ongelooflik moeilik dit is om die verhouding te verbreek. Jy is of was lief vir hom/
haar. Soms is hy/sy die pa/ma van jou kinders. Elke keer as hy nugter is nadat hy jou
aangerand het, is hy so spyt en smeek hy om
vergifnis en beloof hy sal nooit weer nie en
elke keer anvaar jy dit maar weer.
Ek weet ook hoe dit voel as jy heeldag hoor
jy’s vet, lelik, dom, onnosel, dat niemand hou
van jou nie – so aanhoudend dat jy dit naderhand glo en jouself begin verwaarloos.
Die ergste was seker daardie aanhoudende
verlammende vrees of hy gaan dronk of nugter wees as hy by die huis kom. Dit gaan net
nooit weg nie, jy kan nooit ontspan nie, jy’s
altyd op jou hoede. En die ergste is hoe jy van
jou vriende en familie verwyder raak, want
jy moet ’n front voorhou, jy kan nie waag dat
iemand agterkom watter dronknes daar by
jou huis is nie. Daar is niemand met wie jy
kan praat nie, jy is so eensaam, so alleen.
Ek was so bang vir hom dat ek baie lank
myself wysgemaak het dat dit vir my en die
kinders veiliger is om by hom te bly, want ek
weet dan wat om te verwag, eerder as om vir
die res van ons lewens te vlug – en ek glo baie
van julle glo dit ook. Mense sê so maklik“maar kry ’n interdik teen hom”. Mense wat
nie weet nie praat glads te maklik! In my geval
sou dit definitief olie op die vuur gewees.
Ten spyte van ’n Christelike opvoeding en
’n oorgawe op skool, was ek destyds ver van
die kerk verwyder. Al hierdie dinge het my
weer kerkdienste laat bywoon en hy het nie
daarvan gehou nie, veral nie toe ek met die
dominee praat het en hy na ons gekom het nie.
Maar ek wil vir jou sê daar is ’n God, ’n Vader, ’n Skepper wat ongelooflik lief is vir elke
skepsel wat Hy gemaak het, almal, maak nie
saak wat jou kleur, geloof, seksuele voorkeure
of wat ook al is nie.
Hy het jou spesiaal gemaak, moenie dat enigiemand jou anders vertel nie. Dit maak nie
saak hoe jy van buite lyk nie, Hy kyk binne.
Jy is Sy tempel, moenie dat iemand dit afbreek
nie. Onthou ook, solank jy asemhaal, het Hy
’n doel met jou lewe. Waar daar lewe is, is daar
hoop en die hoop beskaam nie. As jy Sy hulp
vra, sal Hy jou help. Ek kan die afgelope 30
jaar oor en oor daarvan getuig.
Ek het uiteindelik tot my sinne gekom en
ek glo ons Vader het ons daardie dag, 16 Desember 1983, baie styf vasgehou. Ek het amper
te lank gewag.
Daarom wil ek vir jou sê vandag is die wêreld baie meer bewus van mishandeling en
gaan hulle jou makliker glo. Moenie dit net
probeer wegsteek nie; gaan soek hulp. Praat
ten minste met iemand, want dit maak ’n mens
fisies siek as jy emosies opkrop.
Al dink jy jy sal nie finansieel vir jou kinders kan sorg nie, gaan vra hulp by die kerk,
by die welsyn, by die polisie. Oral is daar mense wat jou na die regte plek toe sal verwys.
Moenie dink ek dink dis ’n maklike pad om
te stap nie. Om as enkelouer kinders groot te
maak, het mens hare op jou tande en baie ure
op jou knieë nodig. Maar jy hoef dit nie alleen
te stap nie. Sluit aan by ’n enkelouer-vereniging. Raak betrokke by jou kerk of ander plek
van aanbidding. Laat jou kinders by verenigings aansluit sodat hulle onafhanklik kan
As ek vandag na my twee pragtige, selfstandige, selfvertroue dogters kyk en ek dink oor
watter soort lewe hulle sou gehad het as ek
nie destyds die moed gehad het om weg te gaan
nie, dan sidder ek by die gedagte. Alle eer kom
die Here toe. Hy sal jou ook help. Glo net! Hy
is lief vir jou.
Laastens wil ek net vir die baie mense wat
ek deur die jare leer ken het wat soortgelyke
ervarings gehad het en so bitter is sê: dit maak
net jouself seer; dit doen niks aan hom/haar
nie. Maak daardie sweer in jou hart oop en
vergewe daardie persoon wat jou leed aangedoen het. Vergeef jouself ook as jy dalk ’n aandeel daaraan gehad het. Jy sal nie glo watter
verligting dit in jou hart sal bring nie.
Ek is nie skaam om my naam te gee nie,
maar ek wil my kinders beskerm. Kontak my

With reference to the letter from Jean Morton
published in last week’s paper:
I am disappointed, if not annoyed, at the letter from her regarding the treatment of her
cousin at the frail-care centre of SOFCA.
I have been associated with this establishment for over 12 years on a voluntary basis.
My late brother-in-law was there for four
years and the family were very impressed
He was an intellectual and was treated with
utmost respect. He was left partly paralysed
by a stroke and had to be lifted up at all times,
but never a bruise or a scratch.
The director and staff and Matron Maartens
are of the highest calibre and a number of the
carers have been with SOFCA for over 20
Regarding the Alzheimer’s patients, they
are not accommodated in their own area, and
I feel the writer of this letter did not familiarise herself with the true SOFCA.FRANCES BECKINGHAMSkok toe kunsbeen ook
Dis met skok, ontsteltenis en afgryse dat ons
kennis neem in die berig op bladsy 5 van die
Hermanus Times van 5 Desember, dat die administrateur van die Tiaan Boshoff Fonds nie
net die fiets en rolstoel, waarvoor so baie inwoners geld vir Tiaan geskenk het, gekonfiskeer het nie, maar boonop nog sy kunsbeen
ook weggeneem het!
Ek verneem van Tiaan dat die administrateur aan hom ’n ultimatum gestel het, waarvolgens hy binne ’n sekere tydperk met die
nuwe kunsbeen, sonder die hulp van sy krukke, moes loop. Hy’t vir my gesê hoe die nuwe
prostese hom seergemaak het, en sy pa het gesê dat daar al verskeie verstellings aan die
been gedoen is in ’n poging om dit vir Tiaan
gemakliker te probeer maak.
Hy het juis gereël dat iemand daardie dag,
toe die administrateur die kunsbeen “gekonfiskeer” het, saam na die fisioterapeut gaan
om te kyk na ’n verdere verstelling aan die
Dit kom by my op dat hierdie skoolseun, ten
spyte van sy uitdagings, nog moes studeer vir
eksamens ook. Ek neem aan dat hierdie administrateur al die funksies van haar ledemate
en liggaamsdele het en nie met haar gesondheid ’n probleem het nie.
Indien wel, sou dit haar dalk nie so ongenaakbaar gemaak het nie en meer begrip gegee het vir ander met tekortkominge. Enige
mens wat al pyn verduur het, weet dat jy daartydens net nie jou heel beste kan lewer nie.GESKOKTE INWONERHierdie brief is aan die administrateur

kan nie die motorfiets beheer nie en ry voor ’n

presies waar die spoedkamera is. Jong man, jy
speel met ander mense se lewe.
) It is not the child’s fault if his parents are behind

vir son se gesig
So teen elfuur vandag (Donderdag) kan ons in die
Overstrand vir eers koebaai sê vir die son. Hy
gaan vir ’n week of twee maar skamerig wees om
voluit gesig te wys. Maar Weerhaan, wat self nie
benoude warm droë weer kan duld nie, is nogal
Die angel in die komende vakansieweer is altoos die skerp violetstraling wat ons die afgelope
week reeds aan die lyf voel. In die huidige situasie
kan dit afskaal, maar ook nie heeltemal nie, want
sonstrale wat deur klam wolke skyn, kan kaal bolywe op die strande lelik seermaak.
Die matige briese uit die noordooste kan ons
op Vrydag die dertiende in die voordag nogal ’n
bietjie benoud maak. Veral vir oumense. Die
wind swaai egter kort voor die middaguur na
suidoos en dra die gebruiklike lafenis na ons kant
toe. Teen die aand se kant word die wolke reënerig
met 0,1 mm konveksie, maar nie so erg dat dit
glad nie teen dagbreek Saterdag ’n lekker besoekersdag kan word nie. Die wandelpaaie sal nogal
druk besoek word, glo ek.
Soos ons al ondervind het, is die suidoos dikwels ’n draer van ligte reën. En wanneer die wind
dan Saterdagaand in die voornag suidwes draai,
kan ons ’n konveksie sien, maar weereens nie so
dat dit die buitelugpret, soos braai en speletjies
op die strand, sal bederf nie. Die konveksie sal
nie meer as 0,1 mm wees nie.Vroeër die week was daar nogal bedenkinge
oor die eerste vakansiedae deurdat die Atlantiese hoogdruk, nadat hy amper ’n week lank in
die see suidoos van die land rondgehang het, opnuut aan die noordooskus ’n sel vorm wat baie
beslis sy isobare in kontak sal bring met die koue
lug wat tot by Gough kom.
Weernotas in ons dagboek wys as die Atlantiese hoogdruk so van voor af begin woeker, kan
dit reënweer skep. Die indekse en grafieke word
nagegaan en siedaar, slegs sowat 2 mm sak van
Sondagaand tot Maandagoggend agtuur oor die
Mense wat Maandagoggend wil gaan stap of
hengel, sal gedurende die voordag dalk nog sowat 0,2 mm klammigheid tot ná twee op hul gesigte voel. Daarna sien ons baie son tot Vrydag

troues en oulaas pieknieks en oulaas kantoorrumoer.

Mayor and military students pay respects to Madiba
Promotions12 December, 2013KERRY VAN RENSBURG
A moment of silence to honour Nelson Mandela was observed by Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie, General LK Mbatha and students from
the Military Academy in Saldanha
who gathered at the New Harbour
in Hermanus at 08:00 Friday 6 December.
The Military Academy houses Stellenbosch University’s faculty of military science. This is where junior officers of the South African National
Defence Force receive their professional military education before continuing with their military careers.
Students assembled at the New Harbour for what should have been the
last leg of the 2013 Trans Enduro exer-cise.
This 10-day exercise involving 200
students began in Port Elizabeth on
28 November. The participants were
divided into land, cycling and sea
They travelled from Port Elizabeth
and their final destination was set to
be Saldanha, staying overnight in
towns along the route. The cycling
team covered a certain distance each
day with 10 cyclists riding at a time,
along predesignated routes. The sea
team, which had two rubber dinghies
with outboard motors, travelled
along the coast with teams also changing at predetermined points. The land
team moved from town to town in vehicles, raising funds for the university’s community service projects and
the academy’s MASIZA initiative.They also rendered some community services, which included cleaning
streets and neighbourhoods, painting
school buildings, and visiting old-age
Botha-Guthrie welcomed the students to Hermanus and commended
the commanders on the Trans Enduro
initiative, which is designed to develop leadership skills.
With the news of Nelson Mandela’s
death having just been announced,
Second Lieutenant Goodness Sibiya
said the plans for the last two days of
the challenge had been set aside. Only
the students involved in the community service project for Hermanus
The rest of the students were directed to head straight back to Saldanha
and await orders.Mayor Nicolette Botha­Guthrie and Brigadier General LK Mbatha,

When passing the Whale House Museum, you will notice a large wire
whale with colourful ribbons tied onto it – this is in aid of fundraising for
the next Whale House exhibition:
Whales in Art and Culture.
The Whale House is one of the more
popular museums in the Old Harbour
area and already has several interactive devices, which allow visitors to
see whale bones and read about the
large mammals. With the completion
of this exhibition there will now befar more interactive devices, which
will enable visitors to read, touch and
hear. In this computer-driven age
where children are mostly technologically orientated, it is important to
keep the museum as techno-savvy as
As with all large projects, funding
is required and the museum only receives a small government subsidy
and mostly relies on ticket sales to
pay the daily bills, leaving very little
money to complete projectsKAVANAGH DIAMONDS: Available

Phillippa Butler thought that having
a whale made from wire and selling
ribbons at the museums would be a
fun and colourful way of raising money, where everyone could contribute
to the future of Hermanus’ museums.
She approached local crafter Gilson
Maswiswi who trades daily on
Lemm’s Corner selling his wire products, and he agreed to make the
whale, which is now the centrepiece
of this initiative.DE WETHUIS

You can find us at 1 College Road, the

speel, is die Kogelberg-tak van die Botaniese Vereniging van Suid-Afrika besorg oor die omvang wat dié
Die dienste van ’n plaaslike slangkenner, François
van Zyl, word tans ingespan om persepsies oor slange
In ’n volgepakte saal in die Mooiuitsig-gemeenskap
verlede Dinsdagaand het hy ’n interessante praatjie
oor slange gelewer, waartydens die gehoor kon kyk
na gevaarlike slange en selfs aan die minder gevaarlikes kon vat.
Van Zyl sê daar kom 24 slangspesies in die Kogelberg-biosfeerreservaat voor, waarvan slegs vier skadelik is vir die mens. Slange is ook nie van nature
aggressief teenoor die mens nie, en wanneer jy een
in die veld teëkom, sal hy jou met ’n gesis of met sy
houding probeer waarsku om nie nader te kom nie.
’n Mens moet veral versigtig wees vir pofadders,
wat verantwoordelik is vir agt uit elke tien slangbytvoorvalle, omdat hulle baie goed gekamoefleer is en
nie vinnig padgee nie. Die Kaapse kobra is ook baie
gevaarlik, maar slaan gou op die vlug.
Volgens Van Zyl is die beste optrede na ’n slangbyt
om kalm te bly en nie te beweeg nie. Jou beste hulpmiddel is ’n selfoon om iemand te bel om jou na ’n
hospitaal te neem.
Slange help om muise en rotte onder beheer te hou
en veral in die landboubedryf is molslange baie nuttig.
Sue Folb, ’n komiteelid van die Kogelberg-tak van
die Botaniese Vereniging, sê hul veldtog om mense
meer slangbewus te maak, werp goeie vrugte af en
mense wat meer te wete wil kom, kan haar by suefolb@telkomsa.net kontak.
Van Zyl sê hy sal graag ’n permanente slangpark
in die omgewing op die been wil bring om mense beter
oor slange in te lig en toeriste te lok. - Fanie KrigeSlangkenner François van Zyl se praatjie oor slange het
groot aftrek by die Mooiuitsig­gemeenskap gekry. Dié
Kaapse kobra, veilig in ’n glaskas, is baie gevaarlik maar
slaan gou op die vlug.

A step­by­step guide on how to jump start a car
If there is one tool that is an absolute must to
have in any car, it’s a set of jumper cables.
Knowing how to use them when your car battery dies, will get you back on the road before
The red cable is the “positive” lead, and the
black cable is the “negative” lead. If your jumper cables are one colour, the clips themselves
will be marked with a + (positive) or – (negative). The positive clamps on each end of thejumper cables should only be attached to the
positive terminals of the batteries, and the negative clamps should only be attached to the negative post or grounded area of the engine block.
With the assistance car running, attach a
“positive” clamp to the positive terminal (+) on
the assisting car, and the other end of the “positive” cable to the positive (+) terminal in your
car. The “negative” clamp on the same end
should then be attached to the negative termi-nal (-) of the assisting car.
Be very careful at this point as the remaining
negative clamp should never come in contact
with the positive clamps. The last negative
clamp should be attached to a piece of metal
on the engine block - not too close to the battery
to avoid creating sparks.
Always be sure that clips get a good connection on the terminals. Reposition clips if the
first starting attempt is unsuccessful.C O A C H W O R K STel: (028) 312 2270 Arumstraat, HermanusKersfees groete

SATURDAY: 07:30 - 12:00Start up the assisting car. Allow a few minutes for the recharging process and then start
your car. If the battery has regained enough
power the engine should turn over. If this
doesn’t happen on the first attempt, the battery
may need more time to build up a charge.
Leaving your car to idle, remove the jumper
leads in the reverse order that they were applied, starting with the negative clamp on the
engine block. – Women24CCPANEL BEATING &

Mitsubishi launches its all-new Pajero Sport 4x2 model
Auto Sold12 December, 2013QUICKPIC
Mitsubishi Motors SA has introduced an
important new derivative to its range of
Pajero Sport full-size SUVs.
It is a very well equipped 4x2 model which
has the latest 2,5 F high performance turbo
diesel engine developing 131 kW of power at
4 000 r/min and 350 Nm of torque at 1 800 r/
min. This new engine is particularly fuel efficient with a fuel consumption of only
8,5F/100 km. This engine performs well, and
as one of the higher torque engines in the
class, delivers the goods on the highway and
The new addition to the face lifted Pajero
Sport 4x4 models introduced in September
2013 is particularly well equipped, while being
the lowest priced of its direct competitors.
Priced at R419 900 the Pajero Sport 4x2 offers
outstanding value for money considering the
very high level of standard equipment for
comfort, convenience and safety, as well as
the versatility of its variable arrangementsRoad holding is very good, gravel roads
are dispatched without hiccup and the Paje­
ro Sport has a settled stable feel.PHOTO: QUICKPICfor the second and third rows of seats.
This new derivative in the Pajero Sport
range also benefits from the eye-catching
and bold new frontal styling and features
such as colour-coded door handles and exterior rear view mirrors, which now incorporate indicator repeaters. Wheels are more
aggressively styled 17” alloys with 245/65
Safety features in this new derivative include active stability and traction control,
while Mitsubishi’s insistence of high levels
in terms of active and passive safety means
six airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic brake distribution (EBD), as well as
Mitsubishi’s characteristic RISE safety cell
As befits its luxury specification it is
available only with a five-speed automatic
transmission, and leads its competitors by
having paddle shifts on the steering wheel
for those wanting to select gear ratios manually.
The seats are covered in black leather,
while the steering wheel is also leather covered and incorporates multi-function
switches, including cruise control, Bluetooth control and audio control.
The rear-view mirror has an electronic
chromatic system to prevent glare automatically, while the rear park assist system now
includes a reversing camera besides the
standard rear park distance control
Vehicles like the Pajero Sport are great
for long distances and used by families for
road trips. Additional features, perfect for
this, include full climate control and rear
controls for the air-conditioning for passengers. There are also seven seats, although
the rear set can fold down flat for more boot
Full size SUVs have plenty of interior
room and the Pajero Sport is no exception,
featuring seven seats and luggage space of
1 149 Fwith the third row of seats folded flat
and 1 776 F when both the second and thirdrows are folded flat.
The latest Pajero Sport models will be available in a choice of five colours: Eisen Grey Mica,
Cool Silver Metallic, Quartz Bronze Metallic,Medium Red and White Pearl.
The Pajero Sport is covered by a 3year/100 000 km
5year/90 000 km service plan.28Hermanus TimesBOLAND
Auto Sold12 December, 2013Jaguar XF 2-litre: the sheepish apology
You find me here with a bowed
head and the proverbial hat in my
hands. The reason I’m clutching
on to the rim of that great remorseful symbol is because I owe
you, dear reader, an apology. The
same goes for everyone in the employ of Jaguar or ZF; I’m sorry for
what I wrote about the XF 2-litre
I’m not one to make excuses and
I hate people who don’t take responsibility for their actions but I do
need to clarify how this all came
about. A few months ago we received a crimson metallic Jaguar
XF 2-litre turbo-petrol press car
which was absolutely awful to
drive. Jerky, unpredictable, rough
– very un-Jaguar-ish.
My impressions were mirrored
by the fine feelings of our female
scribe who confirmed that the red
Jag was terribly erratic in its response and had a crude, indecisive
gearbox. What made this very peculiar was that the unit in question,
ZF’s celebrated eight-speed auto,
has impressed us no end in every
other car we found it in.
A few weeks after the dreadful car
left and my damning report was published, I chatted to a good friend and
fellow motoring journalist about
test cars – yes, most of us can only
talk wheels – when the 2-litre Jag
came up and I regurgitated all the
hateful slander contained in said review. Shock and awe filled the room.
Jerky, rough and indecisive
shouldn’t come within ten pages of
a Jaguar XF review, my friend al-It may be getting on in years and feel cramped compared to some rivals but it’s just so beautiful and elegant.PHOTO: QUICKPICleged, telling me of the smoothness
and eager precision he encountered
in this vehicle. That’s when it
dawned on me that there must have
been something wrong with the car
at the time we tested it.
A few calls and sheepish enquiries later, I got permission for a revisit of the exact same vehicle which
brings us to the present moment. After a week of driving the previously
accused, I can now confirm that the
car is absolutely wonderful and all
my negative comments were completely unfounded.
Before you jump to the conclusion
that Jaguars are unreliable beasts,
I have to point out that test cars tend
to lead a hard life and random failures happen to other brands too;
even the ones you don’t expect it of.
My own cars also had hiccups;moody mass airflow sensors, loose
pipes and such like can wreak havoc
What you need to know, is this:
where before the 177kW (241hp) engine was lethargic and the gearbox
was utterly hopeless, this time
around the Jaguar XF 2-litre turbopetrol was a symphony of modern
four-cylinder turbo power, masses
of torque and deliciously smooth
eight-speed automated gear shifts.
The top two or three ratios can be
a bit tall when the motorway goes
uphill but the previously lacking
torque and gunshot down-shifts
have been replaced by reasonable
grunt and silky gear transitions.
The only hesitation we found in the
gearbox was when going from little
to full throttle – it takes a second to
find the right cog.Yet again I have to stress that it’s
nowhere near the previously frustrating power gaps and gear jerks.
In fact, you can pre-load the gearbox
in Sport or manual mode and even
turn the XF 2-litre into a seminaughty sports saloon. Our performance testing also highlighted
the drastic improvement we felt.
A few months ago, the XF hit
100km/h in 10 seconds flat, reaching
400m in 16.8 seconds at 129km/h.
Yesterday morning, the same car
shaved a whopping 2,6 seconds off
the 100km/h sprint and reached
400m 2,1 seconds and 25,4km/h faster. Unsurprisingly, the revitalised
Jag also posted much better fuel
All this newfound responsiveness
even made us get up at stupid o’clock
and throw the XF around a moun-tain pass, where it exhibited fantastic grip and a wonderfully even power delivery. Torque rises to maximum at 2 000rpm, power peaks at
5 500rpm and the engine will reach
its redline in a lovely, linear fashion.
The motor has a slightly lumpy
cold-start idle but otherwise doesn’t
put a piston wrong. That gearbox,
that amazing gearbox, has also vindicated itself and gets my renewed
and highest praise. And as for the
Jaguar XF, it still is one of my favourites and a car whose gorgeous
metal I wouldn’t mind parking in
It may be getting on in years and
feel cramped compared to some rivals but it’s just so beautiful and elegant. Affordable and diverse too,
with prices from R535 000 to
R615 000 for the four cylinder models, the range continues with V6
petrols and diesels around R750 000
right up to the supercharged V8 R
and RS models at a million plus.
Those last two are decidedly angry cats and obviously have a harder ride but all other XF’s are what
a Jaguar should be. Quiet, comfortable and composed. Even the “base
spec” cars have leather trim, electric everything, keyless entry, pulsating starter button, sci-fi gear lever and animated air vents.
Go for the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel if
you want hilariously good fuel consumption and where before I advised you to stay clear of this 2-litre
turbo-petrol model, I can now highly
recommend it to anyone looking for
a medium-sized executive saloon
with a perky engine and brilliant

Auto Sold12 December, 2013Ford reveals brand
QUICKPICFord Mustang, the world’s favourite pony
car has been completely re-imagined.
South African fans can look forward to seeing the completely redesigned and re-engineered Mustang on local roads in 2015.April 17 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the original Ford Mustang.
Mustang will continue to be built in America at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. PHOTO: QUICKPICThe new Ford Mustang fastback and convertible models promise exceptional performance
and refinement while embracing the Mustang’s half-century of heritage and status as a
Ford Mustang inspires passion like no other
car,” said Raj Nair, Ford Group Vice President,
“The visceral look, sound and performance
of Mustang resonate with people, even if
they’ve never driven one. Mustang is definitely
more than just a car – it is the heart and soulof Ford.”
More than 9 million Mustangs have been
sold since it was first launched in 1964. The
world’s most-liked vehicle on Facebook,
Mustang has made thousands of appearances
in film, television, music and video games,
and is one of 15 new vehicles that Ford will
launch in South Africa by 2017.
“The Mustang’s formidable reputation for
performance and its iconic status as a symbol
of freedom and optimism precedes it even in
those parts of the world where the car has
never been sold,” said Stephen Odell, Ford
Executive Vice President, Europe, Middle
“The new Mustang epitomises Ford’s aggressive product acceleration; technologically advanced and forward-looking, but without forgetting the heritage that has inspired
Ford customers for generations.”
The new Mustang has been developed with
impressive performance, driving dynamics
and usability in mind – and includes a significant amount of advanced driver convenience
and driver aid technologies.
“The illustrious Mustang brand has eluded
us for some years in South Africa, but as part
of the One Ford strategy we can now look forward to welcoming this iconic nameplate to
South African showrooms,” said Ford Marketing Manager Gavin Golightly.
“Today’s reveal has been much anticipated
around the globe and we are thrilled to now
be part of the Mustang journey.”
The clean-sheet design of both Ford Mustang fastback and convertible evokes the essential character of the vehicle, retaining key
design elements of the classic Mustangs recognisable to car fans across the globe, including the long sculpted hood and short rear
deck, with a contemporary execution.
impression and when you see this car, you
immediately see a Mustang strong and true;”
said Moray Callum, Ford Executive Director,
Design, The Americas.
Several key design features define the new
Ford Mustang, including:
. A low roof height and wide stance
. Sleek profile enabled by steeply sloped
. Three-dimensional, tri-bar taillamps
. Contemporary execution of the iconic
car’s signature shark-bite front fascia
The new Ford Mustang features all-new
front and rear suspension systems. At the
front, a new perimeter subframe helps to
stiffen the front structure while reducing
mass, providing a strong foundation for more
predictable wheel control that benefits handling, steering and ride.
The geometry, springs, dampers and bushings all have been specifically modified and
tuned for this high-performance application,
and are well-suited to high speed driving.
New aluminium rear knuckles help reduce
unsprung mass for improved ride and handling.
The new Mustang features a significant
number of innovative technologies providing drivers with enhanced information, control, and connectivity when they want it.
The advanced, Ford-developed stability
control is tuned to maximise the new Mustang’s dynamic capabilities with features
like torque vectoring that directs engine power to individual wheels to keep the car on
course. When the time comes to turn up the
wick at the track, manual transmission variants of the Mustang GT include standard
launch control that enables drivers to
achieve smooth, consistent starts every time.
Advanced driver-assist features include
standard Ford SYNC™ with Voice Control
and Touchscreen, that lets drivers control
April 17 2014 marks the 50th anniversary
of the introduction of the original Ford Mustang. Mustang will continue to be built in
“From day one, we knew if we were going
to build a new Mustang, we had to do it right,”
said Dave Pericak, Mustang Chief Engineer.
“We built a new Mustang from the ground
up that is fast, great-looking, refined and efficient, without losing any of the raw appeal
that people around the world have associated
with Mustang for decades.”

won her debut Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight on Saturday at the Sunningdale Sports
Complex in Tableview. She is the first female MMA winner in the Cape Fight League.
Andrea’s opponent was Amy Carter from Panther Fight Gym in Cape Town. According
to Yvette Ingles, Andrea’s trainer, she won the fight just seconds before the end of the
third round with a technical knockout. “The referee stopped the fight because her oppo­
nent had received too many blows to the head,” says Yvette. With Andrea are Sheena
Haines (Thai Combat Johannesburg), Yvette Ingles (Thai Combat Hermanus) and Lloyd
Kemertgoglou (Thai Combat Johannesburg).INDOOR HOCKEY:Boomslang strangles Maroon Machine

last weekend. The tournament saw the return
of the defending champions, Boomslang, all

victorious over newcomers Maroon Machine,
sporting Matieland tops. The final score was
4-1 to Boomslang.
Third place went to a local team, Noord
