BOTSING VAN VOOR OP N1
Ongeluk eis Remgro­hoof
SAMANTHA VAN DEN
IE skielike dood van die
uitvoerende hoof van
Remgro in ’n motorongeluk verlede Donderdag het
skokgolwe deur die sake-gemeenskap gestuur.
Wyle mnr. Thys Visser (58)
van Stellenbosch en sy vrou,
Amanda, was Donderdag op
die N1 buite Rawsonville kort
ná 15:00 in ’n botsing reg van
voor met ’n Toyota Hilux-bakkie betrokke. Hulle was in ’n
wit Land Cruiser VX onderweg
na hul plaas op Barrydale.
Volgens kapt. Frederick van
Wyk, ’n provinsiale polisiewoordvoerder, was daar nóg
twee voertuie – ’n grys Land
Cruiser en ’n vragmotor – by
die ongeluk betrokke. Die ongeluk is om 15:15 aangemeld.
Die bestuurder van die Toyota Hilux, mnr. Johan Andrew
(46), is dood op die toneel aangetref. Dit was sy verjaardag.
Volgens Van Wyk is Visser
kort daarna in die Worcester
Mediclinic oorlede. Sy vrou is
Die insittendes in die ander
voertuig, John Hutchison (49)
en Allan Cowen (61), is vir ligte
’n Saak van strafbare manslag word ondersoek.
Intussen word Visser se
dood steeds in die dorp en in
sakekringe landwyd betreur.
Volgens ’n verklaring wat
die Remgro-raad kort ná die
ongeluk uitgereik het, het Visser in sy 32 jaar wat hy betrokke is by die groep ’n “onuitwisbare merk” op die maatskappy, sy beleggings, personeel en
die Suid-Afrikaanse sakegemeenskap gelaat.
In die verklaring word hy onder meer vereer vir sy leierskap, visie, integriteit en hooggeskatte bydrae tot die maatskappy.
Prof. Russel Botman, rektor
en visekanselier vandie Universiteit Stellenbosch, het
hom as ’n “ongelooflike bron
van krag en ondersteuning vir
die toekomsgerigte posisionering van die universiteit” beskryf.
’n Roudiens is Woensdag in
die NG Moederkerk op Stellenbosch gehou.

ROUDIENS VIR REMGRO-HOOF THYS VISSER
Gerespekteerde sakeman gegroet
SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
HYS se dood het ons almal tot
stilstand geruk. Dit het ons
baie diep laat nadink oor die
lewe en die dood.”
Só het dr. Hannes Koornhof Woensdag
aan ’n volgepakte Moederkerk gesê tydens wyle mnr. Thys Visser (58) se roudiens op Stellenbosch.
Visser is Donderdag in motorongeluk
op die N1 buite Rawsonville oorlede.
Van die land se voorste sakelui was
Woensdag in die kerk byeen om oor die
skielike dood van dié Remgro-hoof te rou.
Visser was ook onder meer voorsitter
vir Rainbow Chicken Limited, nie-uitvoerende direkteur vir RMB Holdings Limited en FirstRand Limited, asook direkteur van verskeie maatskappye insluitend Mediclinic International Ltd en die
Onder diegene wat die diens Woensdagoggend bygewoon het was talle sakelui,
ook Stellenbosse sakemanne soos G.T.
Ferreira, Jannie Mouton en Whitey Basson.
Huldeblyke is by die diens deur familie
en vriende gelewer. Visser se stiefpa, Geoff Anderson, het hom as ’n reguit en
streng persoon beskryf, maar ook iemand
met ’n baie klein hart.
Volgens Anderson het Visser baie maklik gehuil, maar was dit iets wat hy in privaatheid gedoen het.
Hy het ook staaltjies vertel van hoe Visser as jong seun reeds potensiaal as sakeman gewys het.
Volgens Anderson het hy ’n verantwoordelikheidsin vir geld gehad en vir sy
sakgeld gewerk deur die motor te was en
die gras te sny.
“Sy ma het een middag by die huis gekom en sy broer, Riaan, die gras sien sny.

Sy wou weet waarom hy die gras sny
waarop hy vertel het dat Thys hom 30 sent
betaal. Dít terwyl Thys 50 sent by sy ma
kry om die gras te sny.”
Johann Rupert, voorsitter van Remgro
en ’n vriend van Visser, het hom as ’n kollega en jarelange vriend van meer as 30
Volgens Rupert het hy ’n wye algemene
kennis gehad. “Hy het iets van alles geweet en ook alles van iets – veral sy werk.”
Hy het bygevoeg dat Visser nooit ’n “jabroer” was nie en dat sy beginsels altyd
behoue gebly het op sy pad na sukses.
“Ja, hy kon ’n bliksem wees. Maar julle
(as familie) kan trots wees op hom.
“Dit is moeilik om as ’n vriend totsiens
te sê. Oral waar hy gekom het, het hy
vriende gehad en mense wat hom respekteer het. Julle hoef nooit skaam te wees
om hom jul pa te noem nie,” het Rupert
in sy huldeblyk gesê.
Lambert Retief, nie-uitvoerende voorsitter van Paarl Media en ’n vriend, het
in sy huldeblyk gesê dat Visser se dood
’n groot leemte in sy lewe agterlaat.
“Hy was nie bloedfamilie nie, maar ons
Hy het vertel hoe Visser ’n geweldige
klomp byname gehad het – van “Vissie”,
“Mr Fish”, “Thysie” en die jongste,
“knorpot” – en hoe dit ’n aanduiding was
van hoe gelief en gerespekteer hy was.
“Hy was seker die mees geliefde knorpot
in Stellenbosch,” het hy gesê.
Volgens Retief was hy eerlik en het hy
nooit iets agteraf gesê wat hy nie voor ’n
persoon ook kon sê nie.
“Sy lojaliteit was een van sy geweldige
groot kenmerke. Sy lojaliteit aan sy familie en sy vriende. Hy het ’n gesegde gehad
dat as ’n man sy vrou verneuk hy nie op
ander terreine vertrou kan word nie.”
Volgens Retief was Visser slim en wys
– ’n rare kombinasie. Hy was ook ’n uitstekende belegger en ’n baie nederige mens.
“Hy is ’n man wat ons geweldig baie
gaan mis. Hy was op sy gelukkigste om
die braaivleisvuur in die veld of by die lapa by die huis. “Hy was onopgesmuk en
aards tot aan die einde,” het Retief gesê.
Schalk Burger sr. (oud­Springbokspeler), adv. Sak­
kie van Staden en Whitey Basson (hoof van Shoprite
Checkers) het ook die roudiens bygewoon.

NEW LAW IN ACTION
Copper thieves beware
ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN
Hannelie Coetzee (links) het onlangs
die Cloetesville-polisie bedank vir hul flink ondersoek wat gelei
het tot die inhegtenisneming van twee gewapende rowers wat haar
in haar woning op ’n plaas buite Stellenbosch oorval het. Sy is ernstig beseer, maar die saak is binne net vier dae opgelos. Hier oorhandig sy ’n trofee aan Cloetesville speurder, AO Hendrik du Plessis.

Nóg OTM­bom in K’mandi
’n OTM by die Kayamandi-mall
in George Blakelaan is Maandag ’n tweede keer geteiken.
Volgens polisiewoordvoerder, sers. Natalie Martin, is die
Kayamandi-polisie 03:05 na die
toneel toe ’n verdagte voertuig
opgemerk is. “Hulle het ’n
groep onbekende mans na die
OTM sien hardloop.
“’n Bom het by die OTM afgegaan. Luidens ooggetuies het ’n
taxi en onbekende voertuig van
die toneel weggejaag. Die polisie het verskeie voertuie gestop
en vier persone is ondervra,
maar niemand is tot dusver in
hegtenis geneem nie.”
A NEW act, which took affect at
the beginning of this month, will
allow the police to crackdown on
the sale of stolen goods.
And Stellenbosch police intends to make full use of this newly established law.
The Second-Hand Goods Act
(Number 6 of 2009) gives the police more power to tackle thieves
trading in second-hand goods.
According to Captain Norman
Davids, the commander of the
Stellenbosch police firearms, liquor and second-hand goods unit
(FLASH) said that they will be
clamping down on the sale of second-hand goods.
“According to the new act, the
police now have more enforcement power – any person who
buys stolen goods is now just as
guilty as the person who stole it,”
“This new act will be a useful
tool to serve our property-related
crimes which has been wreaking
Capt Norman Davids.
havoc on our economy.
“It is now also illegal to buy
burnt non-ferrous metals. Copper
thieves tend to burn the cables before selling them. Buyers of these
cables will now be prosecuted under the new act.”
Davids has asked anyone who
witnesses suspicious activities
relating to non-ferrous metals in
the policing area to report it at
their nearest police station.
“Also report anyone who tries

Metal dealers must be aware that

The new act also forces current
second-hand dealers to have their
trading licences renewed.
Last week a workshop on the
new act was held with representatives from Stellenbosch police,
Telkom, Metrorail, Eskom,Transnet and Business Against Crime.
An urgent meeting is scheduled
for the Second-Hand Dealers Forum on Tuesday 22 May at 14:00
at the Stellenbosch police station
A meeting with the various liquor forums will also be held soon.
Watch the press for more details
on this meeting.
According to police spokesperson, Sergeant Natalie Martin, the
station’s statistics shows a decline in copper theft during the
past few months in comparison to
last year’s statistics. However,
the problem still persists, especially in rural areas.

EXTENSION OF PAVING TENDER
COUNCILLOR of the
Stellenbosch Civic Association (SCA) has appealed against a ruling made by
the speaker at the last town
Clr Derrick Hendrickse this
week appealed against a ruling
made on an item that was
brought before council as an additional item last Wednesday.
The purpose of the item was to
obtain approval to extend the
tender of FCS Civils/ICC Joint
Venture to complete the paving
of the remainder of the Van der
Stel parking area. The intention
to extend the paving contract
was advertised with a closing
date for comments on 23 April.
The value of the proposed extension was not included in the item
that was brought before Council.
Speaker Cyril Jooste explained that even though provincial treasury is of opinion that
the item doesn’t need to be approved by council, it was submitted as a matter of transparency.
Each party was allowed a ten
minute caucus on the item. Hendrickse, however, voiced his concern that the item had not just
been hastily brought to council
SCA councillor Derrick Hendrickse
for consideration, but that it
didn’t even appear on the agenda. He was also concerned that
money was being spent which
was not allocated in the budget.
According to him an item for
the extension of this contract to
the value of R1 million was submitted to the mayco meeting in
March 2012, but was withdrawn.
He then wrote to the acting municipal manager, David Beretti,
asking him to provide him with
the contract value of the original
tender, as well as the value of the
Beretti responded that the
project started in 2009–’10 with
the purchase of paving bricks to
the value of R650 000. A service
provider was appointed to pave
727 m² at a cost of R169 473,57. The
budget was insufficient and the
project was postponed to the 2010
–’11 financial year. Phase two of
the project received an approved
budget from council to the value
of R750 000. FCS Civils/ICC Joint
Venture was appointed to do the
outstanding work. The funds allowed 2 170 m² to be paved, leaving 3 215 m² unpaved. An extension was requested to complete
According to Hendrickse,
however, council approved an
amount of R811 777 in the adjustments budget in February 2012 –
an increase from the original
R750 000 – whilst the February
capital expenditure report indicated that R676 820 was already
spent. This leaves R134 957 for
the project and Hendrickse
wanted to know where the additional moneys will come from,
seeing that the item submitted to
mayco in March for the extension of this contract was to the
value of R1 million.
The speaker, however, put the
matter to vote without further
debate and the majority of the
council voted in favour of the extension. Hendrickse submitted
his appeal on Wednesday. He felt
that council has been put at risk
and voted without knowing the
cost implications and the source
of financing. He requested a response to his appeal in 14 days.
Dorpsvergadering oor GOP
SOWAT 11 wyke het verlede
week in die Stellenbosch stadsaal bymekaargekom vir die
laaste dorpsvergadering om die
Stellenbosch Munisipaliteit se
konsep Geïntegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP) en begroting
Vergaderings is die laaste twee
weke in die gebiede Jamestown,
Dwarsriviervallei, Klapmuts en
Die uitvoerende burgemeester
raadsheer Conrad Sidego het by
verlede Woensdagaand sy tema
van werkskepping voortgesit en
inwoners aangemoedig om die
munisipaliteit te help om hul eie
lewensomstandighede te verbeter. Hy meen daar is soveel mense name op die behuisingswaglys
dat die meeste se name eers verwyder sal word die dag wanneer
hulle “doodsertifikaat uitgereik
Daar moet dus nou na alternatiewe gekyk word. “Ons moet
nou kyk na hoe ons die struktuur
waar jy nou woon kan verbeter
sodat ons vir almal ’n menswaardige bestaan kan bied.”
Tydens die vrae-sessie het humeure onder inwoners opgevlam en is die vergadering grootliks deur Kayamandi-inwoners
oorheers. Hulle wou onder meer
weet waarom die munisipaliteit
die gaping tussen ryk en arm groter maak deur grond aan “ryk
mense” te verkoop en nie vir die
“armes” huise bou nie.
David Carolissen van geïntegreerde menslike nedersettings
het egter aan die gehoor gesê dat
die munisipaliteit oor die laaste
tien jaar meer huise in Kayamandi gebou het as in enige van
die ander wyke.
Daar is ’n tekort aan grond vir
behuising in Cloetesville, maar
volgens Carolissen word planne
reeds beraam om grond te bekom, en is gesprekke met agterplaasbewoners gevoer om saam
oplossings te vind.
Werkskepping is ook bespreek
en ’n vrou van Kayamandi was
van mening dat die munisipaliteit werkskepping teenwerk
deur wetstoepassers toe te laat
om vragskeephouers (waarin besighede bedryf word) daar te verwyder.
Die direkteur van openbare
veiligheid, Patrick Oliver, het
hierop gesê dat hoewel hulle ten
gunste van werkskepping is, hulle nie kan toelaat dat vragskeephouers onwettig op openbare
ruimtes staan nie. “Daar is ’n
proses wat gevolg moet word.
Mense kan nie net vragskeephouers enige plek neersit en verwag ons moet dit daar los nie.”

Coetzee het, soos vele ander, die laaste
maand kommentaar gelewer op ’n verslag, opgestel deur me. Dianna Yach in
opdrag van die dekaan prof. Jimmy Volmink, oor studente en personeel se ervaringe op die Tygerberg-kampus.
In dié verslag word daar onder meer
na Afrikaans as kommunikasietaal in
dié fakulteit gekyk. Van die bevindinge
sluit onder meer in dat Engels as kommunikasietaal in die fakulteit sakevoordele
Coetzee voel egter dat die verslag op ’n

“Al wat myns insiens feitelik oorbly,
is die verleentheid vir die US en die FGW.
Die fakulteit het dit nie verdien nie,” sê
Coetzee in sy reaksie.
Die US-rektor en visekanselier prof.
Russel Botman het egter verlede week sy
“ondubbelsinnige steun” aan die diversiteitstrewes van die FGW verleen.
Botman sê in sy verklaring dat dit duidelik is dat die verslag onderneem is om
“die fakulteit se verdere transformasieprogram te fasiliteer”.
Hy beweer ook voorts dat hy en prof.
Christo Viljoen, die konvokasie-president, oor sy (Viljoen) se “openbare aanval” op die FGW se verslag gepraat het
én dat Viljoen om verskoning gevra het
dat hy onnodig skerp was teenoor die rektor en US-bestuur.

Viljoen het egter by navraag vandeesweek aan Eikestadnuus gesê dat hy nooit
die woorde “verskoning” of “onnodig

gebruik het nie.
Volgens hom het Botman hom meegedeel dat hy ’n persverklaring oor die verslag gaan uitreik en het hy hom aangeraai om hom nie persoonlik met die ver-
slag te vereenselwig nie.
Hy meen dit is ondenkbaar dat hy sou

Over 35 dishes to choose from
DIE bekende Stellenbosse sakeman, Johan Marais (85), wat die laaste tyd in Azaliahof gewoon het, is op 24 April oorlede.
’n Boorling van Ceres, het hy ná sy
skoolopleiding in 1949 ’n BCom-graad
aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch behaal.
As navorser het hy hom aangesluit by die
Buro vir Ekonomiese Ondersoek en
voortgegaan met sy MCom wat hy in 1950
behaal het. Hy is in dieselfde jaar met Elsie van Zyl van Edenburg, Vrystaat getroud en is toe aangestel as sekretaris
van die Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut in
Johannesburg. In 1953 het hy hom as finansiële raadgewer by die destydse
Sy lang loopbaan by die Rembrandt en
Rupert Groep het in April 1955 begin as
takbestuurder van Rembrandt Tabakkorporasie. In 1958 is hy tot advertensiebestuurder bevorder, in 1960 oorgeplaas
na die internasionale afdeling en na Kanada as hoof van bemarkingsbeplanning
vir Rothmans gesekondeer. Hy het in Januarie 1963 na Suid-Afrika teruggekeer
waarna hy twee jaar lank by die groep
se maatskappye in Europa, Australië, die
destydse Rhodesië en Noord-Rhodesië
In 1965 is Marais as bemarkingsdirekteur van Distillers Korporasie aangestel
en in 1966 tot bemarkingsdirekteur van
die Oude Meester Groep bevorder.
In 1982 het hy besturende direkteur geword van Tegniek, ’n uitgewersmaatskappy waarin die groep aansienlike
aandeelhouding gehad het. Hy het daarin
geslaag om die sirkulasie van Tegniek, ’n
Afrikaanse sakejoernaal, binne twee
jaar te verdubbel. Toe die uitgewersmaatskappy deur Nasionale Pers in 1984
oorgeneem is, is hy aangestel as direkteur van Rupert Groep: Dienste.
Ná sy uittrede by die Rupert Groep het
hy van 1987 tot en met sy dood as bemarkingsadviseur sy eie onderneming bedryf. Sy hoofdoelwit was om ondernemings behulpsaam te wees met die suksesvolle skepping en ontwikkeling en
handelsmerke in mededingende omstandighede.
Marais was ’n minsame mens, ’n ware
gentleman, wat almal om hom spesiaal
laat voel het. Volgens sy dogter Roné, was
dié gesinsmens iemand wie se positiewe
houding, dankbaarheid teenoor almal en
lekker lag veral onthou sal word.
Hy was lief vir die natuur, visvang,
maar sy werk by Rembrandt en later Distillers, was sy passie. “Sy werk was nie
van agt tot vyf nie, maar tot hy klaar en
tevrede was. Hy het kwaliteittyd met ons
deurgebring, want daar was nie altyd
kwantiteittyd nie,” vertel Roné.
Sy vrou het hom in 1998 ontval. Hy is
later met die koskenner Renate Coetzee
getroud. Marais word oorleef deur Renate, sy twee kinders, Nico en Roné, en vyf
AUTUMN is show time for chrysanthemums in the Boland.
On Saturday the Stellenbosch Horticultural and Industrial Society will celebrate its 50th anniversary, which includes the
National Chrysanthemum Society’s annual exhibition by
Western Cape growers in the Stellenbosch town hall.
Wallace Adams, one of the oldest members of the society,
remembers the Stellenbosch town hall as the place where the
coloured community used to proudly display their hobbies
through exhibitions. “The men proudly brought their flowers,
birds and pets; women brought decorative cakes, needlework,
sowing work, etc. to demonstrate their gifts and talents. In
February was the Dahlia show; at the of end April, early May
it was time for the Chrysanthemum show and many other
shows kept the community proudly together.”
The Stellenbosch Horticultural and Industrial Society - a
registered member of the National Chrysanthemum Society
of Great Britain and the National Horticultural and Industrial
Society of South Africa (WC) - was established in 1962 to grow
the largest, the best and most perfect chrysanthemums in all
available cultivars. Growers receive no formal training, but
through workshops, regular communication and support
amongst fellow growers, they succeed, year after year, in producing their beautiful crysanthemums.
After a period of absence, the chrysanthemum show is back
in the town hall where it belongs. Why not pop in on Saturday
and see this magnificent display of flowers, which for nine
months has been nurtured with love and meticulous care.

Measure society by its Sculpture
Caroline Hirst, Uniepark,
Yesterday we lost our beloved
15-month-old German Shepherd
in a very sad accident right outside our home. That she should
not have been in the road is a foregone conclusion, but that she was
killed is extremely sad as the story might have had a different ending had the circumstances
worked for instead of against her.
Having undergone extensive
training and with responsible human ownership, she was 99,5%
gate trained. We could walk or
drive out of the gate and she
would remain inside. However
on Monday as I opened the gate
to leave for work, she bolted out
after two “rondloper” dogs in the
road outside our house. Being a
young dog – and therefore impulsive a bit like young children –
she did not heed my recall. These
two dogs were not strays, they
had collars, but their owners saw
fit to allow them to roam the
streets. When she realised was
outside, she turned to come back
in, but was hit by an Isuzu Frontier travelling up Unie Road at
about 45-50km/h. Had the driver
been concentrating, he should
have noticed not one, but three
dogs in the street, and could have
slowed down. I say could have, as
there were no other cars in the vicinity and it would have been
easy to slow down or even come
However, he did not and hit our
beloved Sheba. She didn’t stand
a chance, as she was hit by the
front wheel and then went under
it, being rolled over by the impact
of the car. Worst – and very traumatic as my daughter and I witnessed it – of all was that the driver did not stop after he hit our dog,
but continued to drive as if nothing had happened. Sheba was lying in the road, yelping in pain,
but he was seemingly oblivious
and uncaring about the drama
that had unfolded. We rushed to
her aid, but sadly she died in the
vet’s consulting room 10 minutes
This is an appeal to the residents of Uniepark to be aware
that dogs and children live here
and to drive a little more slowly
in the vicinity of the houses. The
speed bumps have not deterred
drivers, as many have 4x4 vehicles with good suspension systems and, therefore, they do not
need to slow down for the bumps.
I would also like to ask pet owners to not allow their dogs to roam
free. Please take them for walks
so that they do not need to wander
around to get their daily exercise.
I would furthermore like to
thank the very kind and compassionate lady from Onder-Papegaaiberg who witnessed the accident for being prepared to be involved in a world where so few
are willing to do so. Thank you
to our friends and neighbours for
all your calls, messages and tokens of love and care.
As for the driver – who later
came round to inquire how the
dog was doing and to tell us that
he really loves animals – humane
or inhumane? Let the reader be

Incidents ‘blown out of proportion’
Paula Liebenberg Pasquet
writes on Facebook:
In defence of the Traffic Department and the complaints
about service there, I have to
say that I have always had a
pleasant experience (in the
four years that I live in Stellenbosch). I have never had to wait
more than 10 minutes to be
helped and the Information/
Help Desk has always been
manned by somebody.
Did the readers know that vehicle registration can be as
painless as sending a cheque to
the department who will in
turn mail you your licence? I
am sure there are other ways
of doing a payment too. If we
are better informed of our options, it will make life much
easier rather than to complain.
It’s good to complain to ensure that problems are solved
and service delivery is improved, but let’s not take a few
isolated incidents and blow
Opinion / News.
TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: ANC CAKE QUESTION
THE custom of dignitaries of the African National Congress (ANC) to celebrate important milestones by eating cake and drinking champagne on stage has elicited
negative reaction Soyiso Maliti of.Eikestadnuus went to find out how Stellenboschers feel about this custom.
Willemien Brümmer: “It re­
minds us of Marie Antoinette,
Queen of France during the
French Revolution, who oblivious­
ly told her peasants to ‘eat cake’
after they’d run out of bread. This
is metaphorical to how the ANC
has gone the route of enriching
themselves, while not regarding
the poor.” Pics: Soyiso Maliti
Prof Amanda Gouws at the De­
partment of Political Science, SU:
“It’s merely symbolic of a birthday.
However, the poor may think they’re
being excluded. And rightly so, be­
cause the ANC has become known
as a party of self­enrichment be­
cause of certain politicians’ behav­
iour. If you consider that at least 18
million people in this country live off
R10 or less a day, then the fact that
they eat cake in front of their voters
Zanele Solomon: “In our culture, it’s
indecent to eat something and not share
it with the poor, and what the ANC did
smacks of a lack of Ubuntu. This is not
just about the cakes they’ve been eating,
it’s beyond that. It’s about how transpar­
ent they’ve been in enriching them­
selves. I’m sure the cost of those cakes
could cover needs in many poor fami­
lies. It’s sickening.”
Masixole Mtengwane: “I don’t
think it’s wasting money if the amount
spent on these celebrations is sponsored
funds. However, if it comes from the tax­
payers’ pockets, then that’s just prepos­
terous and unfair.”
Khangelani Mfeketho: “It’s obvi­
ously wrong to have people eating in
front of others, especially if it’s a scenario
where the rich are eating in front of the
same poor people who put them in pow­
er – they enriched themselves and left
others out. Arranging ANC cakes must
cost a lot of money. They could use that
money to give to the poor if they cared.”
Amelia Williams: “It’s just not
right, you can’t justify eating cake
in front of people who elected you.
It’s even worse if they are not getting
any of the cake. Unfortunately, cake
is a luxury item which not everyone

Verskeie teoretiese benaderings is vir die navorsing gebruik, maar daar is veral gesteun
op die taakgebaseerde benadering onderliggend aan die TEFLstelsel (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) wat in die Ooste
ontwerp en veral in China met
groot welslae gebruik word om

Adendorff se navorsing oor
hoe Afrikaans op universiteit

Adendorff meen ’n tweede jaar is

Alle partye moet inkoop
DIE pas van transformasie moet versnel op ’n volhoubare wyse, maar dit
benodig die inkoop van alle betrokke
Dít is die mening van Johan Giliomee van VinPro se Swart Ekonomiese
Bemagtiging Adviesdiens. “Dit is belangrik om te onthou dat swart ekonomiese bemagtiging (SEB) oor meer as
net eienaarskap en grondbesit gaan.”
Daar is tans net beperkte inligting
beskikbaar oor die vordering om SEB.
Volgens Giliomee is Vinpro in die proses om ’n volledige databasis te skep
van alle SEB-inisiatiewe.
“Die huidige status van grondhervorming is 52 projekte in die wynbedryf, waarvan die gemiddelde plaasgrootte 110 hektaar is. Grond in swart
besit is geskat op 5 500 hektaar. Wat
aandeelhouding betref, is 31% van die
projekte ten volle swart besit.”
Hy wys ook daarop dat sowat 40
maatskappye in swart besit betrokke
is by sekondêre wynbedrywighede
soos handelsmerke, bottelering en toerisme.
Volgens Giliomee is opleiding ’n
baie belangrike faktor. “Tegniese en
bestuursopleiding benodig dringend
aandag. Daar is egter nie ’n gekoördineerde strategie tussen die staat en die
bedryf nie. Ander uitdagings is toe-
ganklikheid en befondsing vir kursusse.”
Daar is egter wel ’n aansienlike toename in opheffingsinisiatiewe vir
plaaswerkers. “Die opheffing word op
’n groot skaal gedoen en ’n hele gemeenskap word ontwikkel. Hier word
na onder meer Fairhills Association in
Rawsonville (1 000 begunstigdes); Wellington se Bosman Family Vineyards
(260 begunstigdes) en Fair Valley in die
Paarl (52 families) verwys.”
Stellenbosse plase wat ook sulke projekte het, is Koopmanskloof, Meerlust
en Rust en Vrede. Dan is daar ook
Solms-Delta in Franschhoek.
Plaaswerkeropheffing verwys na
breë-basis opheffing ten opsigte van
opvoeding, gesondheid, sport, kultuur
en behuising. “Produsente besef toenemend die produktiwiteitsvoordeel
van gelukkige werkers.”
Daar is egter verskeie uitdagings
nog op die pad vorentoe waarna Giliomee ook verwys het. “Daar is geen
staatshulp vir swart boere om grond
te besit nie. Onthou wingerdgrond is
duur en groot lenings is nie ’n opsie
Giliomee is realisties optimisties.
“Die wynbedryf het nog ’n lang pad om
te stap, maar daar is wel produsente
wat ’n positiewe houding het.”

The pool at Coetzenburg has
been empty since 2010, when it
was decided that structural

The latest development in
the battle to get the swimming

that has already been signed by
more than 300 people.
Some of the biggest names in
international sport such as
World champions Conrad
Stoltz and Christoph Sauser,
Olympic champion Jan Frodeno and Ironman athlete Jodie
Swallow have added their
names to the list.
This petition follows the
qualification of Maties swim
star Heerden Herman for the
Olympic Games. He has to

Five other South African

willpower from a team within
Maties Sport,” said De Roubaix.
At the end of 2011 a project
plan for the new swimming
pool and an aqua-centre was
submitted to the board of the
Stellenbosch University Sport
Performance Institute (SUSPI). The project team was
asked to further investigate
the financial sustainability.
Prof Julian Smith, SU’s Vice
Rector of Community Interaction and Personnel, confirmed
that university management
was fully aware of the frustration caused by the absence of
a pool, but asked that the mag-
nitude of the project be taken
into consideration. “We are
looking at the possibility of
building – as a first phase – a
functional swimming pool followed by the rest.”
According to De Roubaix
their situation is desperate.
“As head coach I would love to
see Stellenbosch getting an Olympic-size pool – like five other universities in SA – but at
this stage I just want the university to make a decision!

sport have signed the petition
for a swimming pool at Stellenbosch University.
They include World champions Conrad Stoltz, Christoph
Sauser; Olympic champion
Jan Frodeno and multisport
king Dan Hugo.
Here is what some of the petitioners had to say:
Jodie Swallow, United
Kingdom: “I am a World 70,3
Ironman champion and Olympian for Great Britain and pro-
fessional triathlete. I have chosen to come to Stellenbosch repeatedly to train over 10 years.
Now that the pool situation has
worsened and worsened we are
really struggling with pools. In
order to be a world class athlete
you need to have access to
world class facilities and the
ONE area Stellenbosch fails is
its swimming pools. It is ESSENTIAL (that) university
steps up to the plate.”
Catherine Jameson, UK:
“Trained in Stellenbosch in
January and February as I am
a triathlete and it was brilliant
but having an Olympic 50 m
pool would be amazing and it
would attract more athletes to
come and train in the area.”
Kate Roberts, South Africa: “I am a triathlete who regularly trains in Stellenbosch
and access to better swimming
facilities is critical.”
Jilly bids farewell after 20 years
JILLY Dix, manager of Maties hockey, is
leaving the club after two decades of service
in various capacities.
She will be succeeded by Jenny King, the
current Maties women’s first team coach and
former coach of the national women’s team.
Dix played goalkeeper for Maties, Western
Province, South Africa u.21 and the senior
In 1992 Dix became one of the first members
of the newly formed Maties Hockey Club. She
started working at the club full-time in 1995.
“I have been in Stellenbosch for 20 years
and I simply felt that it was the right time
to move on. I am still young enough to make
this kind of move and I didn’t want to wait
another five years and miss the opportunity
for change. I’m looking forward to spending
some time at home and taking a break!”
Jackie Wiese, Director of Maties Sport,
worked with Dix from the get-go.
“Jilly’s presence and influence at the Maties Hockey Club will undoubtedly be missed.
Her quiet, yet assured, leadership style has
provided a steady influence at management
level and she has been instrumental in providing a stable platform from which the club
can move forward,” Wiese said.
“We at Maties Sport wish her all the best
for the future.”
Maties Sport said goodbye to Jilly Dix recently. Here are (from the left) Jenny King, Karen
