77,7% VOTER TURN­OUT: OVERSTRAND RESULTS
DA keeps top spot
while ANC gains
A total of 38 615 registered voters
in the Overstrand cast their national votes in the general election on 7 May.
This means 77,7% of 49 660 registered voters in this municipal area

cast in the Overstrand for the provincial election and 55,74% of the
national votes cast locally.
Mayor Nicolette Botha-Guthrie,
the leader of the DA in the Overstrand, says she is very happy with
the outcome of the general elections
in the Overstrand. “My people
worked very hard over many
months when the election machinery kicked in with voter registra-
tion weekends.” Botha-Guthrie
says the DA met their targets, but
no celebration was planned. “We believe in getting back to work
She says the tendencies which
they picked up during this election
will form the basis for their strategic planning for the 2016 local elections.
According to Dayne Nel from

most closely contested area in the
Overstrand. She reports that the DA
walked away with 49,44% of the

Ward 12 councillor, Vuyani Macotha, and head of mobilisation for the
ANC in this area, says: “We are very
pleased with the support we got
from our voters. We increased the
number of votes in our ANC basic
wards and increased numbers in
some ‘hostile’ wards.”
He says Theo Oliver (former deputy mayor of the Overstrand) will be
serving in the Provincial Legislature, where he will be joined by
Maurencia Gillion, local ANC councillor. According to the mayor’s office, no local DA members will be
serving in the Provincial Legislature.

Several of the 29 voting stations
in the Overstrand had well over 80%

Man van Stanford op R43
raakgery, sterf op toneel
Tel 028 312 3154
’n Man van Stanford is Vrydag 2 Mei op
die toneel dood verklaar nadat ’n voertuig
hom op die R43 tussen Caledon en Gansbaai naby Tembelihle omgery het.
Die bestuurder en haar vriendin het in ’n
verklaring aan die polisie verduidelik dat hulle om ongeveer 18:45 op pad na Gansbaai ’n
slag teen die voertuig gehoor het.
“Ek het heeltyd agter ’n ander kar gery toe
ek iets aan die linkerkant van die pad sien.
Dit het soos ’n groot tak gelyk of iets. Die volgende oomblik het ek ’n harde slag gehoor.”
Die bestuurder het dadelik rem getrap. Omdat dit reeds donker was kon sy nie sien wat
sy raakgery het nie en sy en haar vriendin
het besluit om om te draai en na die naaste
polisiekantoor op Stanford te gaan om die
voorval te rapporteer.
Volgens Sarena Hugo, kommunikasiebeampte van die Stanford-polisie, was die vroue
in die polisiekantoor toe dié stasie ’n oproep
ontvang het om hulle in te lig dat iemand op
die R43 omgery is.
Lede van Stanford-polisie het die saak ondersoek en ’n 59-jarige man met kopbeserings
in die pad aangetref. Die ambulans is ontbied,
maar die persoon is op die toneel dood verklaar.
Die oorledene, Alfred Daniel Frans (oom
Gosh) van Stanford, het voor sy dood, volgens
sy familie, gaan hout haal in die bosse.

’n Man (18) is Woensdagoggend 8 Mei naby die gemeenskapsaal in Proteadorp,
Kleinmond vermoor. Die polisie is om
03:30 na die toneel ontbied waar hulle die
man se liggaam op ’n oop veld gevind het.
Bloed-streepmerke is op die toneel gevind, wat lyk of die slagoffer van iewers
na die veld gesleep is.
Drie verdagtes is kort daarna deur die
Kleinmond-polisie in hegtenis geneem
en het op 9 Mei in die Caledon-hof verskyn. Volgens ao. Jaco van Wyk van
Kleinmond-polisie het die slagoffer nog
gelewe toe die polisie op die toneel aankom, maar het minute daarna van ’n meswond gesterf..
Die drie verdagtes verskyn weer in die
hof om vir borgtog aansoek te doen.

New substation increases Overstrand’s capacity
A new electricity substation, which is regarded as one of a kind in the country, was officially opened on Tuesday 29 April.
The Walker Bay 66/11 kV substation, situated in Swartdam Road, was built after numerous considerations as the electricity demand
for Hermanus has grown from 13,8 MVA in
1998 to a measured 24 MVA in 2012. This
means the demand for electricity has almost
doubled in 14 years.
The existing Eskom supply point limits the
Hermanus supply to 24 MVA.
During the design of the substation, a few
challenges were encountered, including the
• No 66 kV overhead lines were built, only
66 kV underground cables from the existing
Eskom substation were installed.
• A substation in an urban environment had
to fit in with neighbouring environments due
to it being situated on the boundary between
a residential and industrial area.
• Safety features – firewalls around the
transformers were built to fend off any possible explosion and fires from the neighbouring
houses and to dampen transformer noise.
• Indoor GIS switchgear – which reduces the
footprint of the substation as well as reduces
maintenance over the life-cycle of the substation.
• Through proper long-term planning they
were able to integrate the new substation into
the existing 11 kV network.
According to the municipality “the building of this substation shows the tremendous
growth of the municipality over these few
years, and the way it is investing its resources
in ensuring that the growth is sustainable.”
Kleinmonder wen groot met woord
Opperman het R500 aan die WAT geskenk
om die druk van die woordeboek te ondersteun.
Die woord wat hy geborg het is ‘merriekonserrie”.
Opperman, toe hy gehoor het van die prysgeld, het woord by welwillende daad gevoeg
en dié hele bedrag aan die WAT geskenk.
Dr. Willem Botha, hoofredakteur en uitvoerende direkteur van die WAT, het Opperman
gevra om ’n verdere vyf woorde te borg en
sy keuses was: skeppingsmagtig, welwillendheid, welluidend, wêreldgebeure en verskansing.
Volgens Opperman het hy die skenking ge-
maak omrede sy liefde vir die taal en daarom
ook die ondersteuning aan WAT, wat tans besig is met die vaslegging van ons moedertaal
in die woordeboek.
“Ons moet onthou dat niemand anders vir
die voortbestaan van Afrikaans sal sorg nie.
Ons moet dit koester, dit vaslê, dit suiwer gebruik,” het hy gesê.
“En daarmee wil ek my wrewel te kenne
gee met die baie Afrikaanssprekendes wat so
lief is om ’n Engelse woord tussen-in te gooi.
Dis actually en awesome en fantastic tot vervelens toe.
“Waarom? Wie wil hulle beïndruk? Hulle
stel hulleself bloot as mengelpraters en doen
hulle taal ’n onreg aan.”
Opperman voeg by dat Afrikaanssprekendes nooit moet vergeet dat Afrikaans in dié
land ontstaan het nie.
“Dit het gegroei uit hierdie bodem. Dit is
’n absolute wonderwerk, want waar die En-
gelse, Duitsers en Franse gekoloniseer het,
het die koloniste daardie tale voortgeplant in
“Maar Jan van Riebeeck neem die suidpunt
van Afrika in besit met ’n Nederlandse verklaring. En jare later kom die eerste Afrikaanse woorde, eers krom en skeef, maar geleidelik al helderder en mooier in die joernalistieke idioom, in poësie, boeke, briewe en
uiteindelik in wetenskaplike verhandelings.
“Dog sy moes haar pad oop stry teen Nederlands en Engels. Die enigste voorbeeld van
so ’n oorspronklike nuweling in die hele wêreld. Maar juis haar stryd om leefruimte
maak haar sterk en gee karakter en daarom
is ek trots op haar.”
Dr. Botha het ná sy besoek aan die Oppermans die Hermanus Afrikaanse Kultuurontspanningsklub (HAKOK) toegespreek oor die
onderwerp “Is Afrikaans tans op die kruin
of op die rand van die afgrond?”.

Overstrand Brand en Redding was vinnig op die toneel om die
brand in die motorhuis te blus.
Motor, bromponie, kano
verwoes in brand
Vanaf bl. 1:
’n Inwoner van Westcliff se hare het erg geskroei toe hy Woensdag laatoggend sy motor uit sy
brandende motorhuis wou red.
Dit blyk Eddie Lötter se bromponie, wat langs sy motor geparkeer gestaan het in die motorhuis langs die woonstel in Marine-rylaan in Westcliff, het
skielik aan die brand geraak.
Lötter (79) en sy vrou Sannie
(73) woon in die woonstel agter
sy suster, Hetta van der Merwe
(89,) se huis in Marine-rylaan.
Lötter was in die woonstel toe
hy vir Sannie en Hetta hoor
skree. Hulle was binne Hetta se
huis toe hulle die brand in die
motorhuis gewaar. Hy het uit die
woonstel gehardloop en die motor uit die motorhuis probeer
stoot, maar die vlamme het reeds
die kar begin verswelg.
Van die Overberg-brandweer
was besig met brandopleiding en
oefensessies dié spesifieke oggend. Soos Eddie Theron van Metro op die toneel vertel het: “Ek
het na die “stormweer” en “don-
ker wolke” in die lug gekyk toe
ek skielik besef dit is nie donker
wolke nie, maar ’n brand!”
Noodpersoneel het dadelik na
die toneel gehaas.
Omstanders het ook intussen
die brandweer gekontak.
Volgens ’n reddingswerker op
die toneel, blyk dit dat die brand
by die bromponie ontstaan het.
“In 99% van dié soort gevalle ontstaan die brand as gevolg van ’n
kortsluiting in die bedrading
van die voertuig en/of ’n bromponie.”
Lötter is op die toneel deur
EMR Ambulansdienste ondersoek vir moontlike beserings.
Maar behalwe vir ’n brandmerk
op sy vinger en sy hare wat geskroei is, was hy ongedeerd.
Gelukkig is die huis en woonstel nie deur die brand beskadig
nie, behalwe vir die motor en
bromponie waarop Lötter nie
versekering uitgeneem het nie.
Hy is ook baie hartseer oor sy opblaaskano wat in die motorhuis
was en ook in die brand verwoes
is. Hy het dikwels met die kano
van die Ou Hawe na die Nuwe
Hawe gevaar en dit was uitstappies wat hy terdeë geniet het.

Pringlebaai koop sy eie vuurwa
’n Nuwe Unimog is aan die Pringlebaaibrandweerstasie oorhandig ná die gemeenskap geld ingesamel het vir die aankoop van die voertuig.
Die brandweerwa is “Rocky” gedoop,
klaarblyklik ’n bynaam wat die inisieerder
van die geldinsamelingsprojek, Clayton
Francis, in sy weermagdae op die lyf geloop
Volgens Angelo Aplon, die stasiebevelvoerder van die Hermanus-stasie, word die
Pringlebaai-brandweerstasie beman deur
vrywilligers uit die gemeenskap en ondersteun deur Overstrand-munisipaliteit.
“Die brandweerwa vervang ’n Nissan
2x4-bakkie wat hulle gebruik het. Die Unimog beskik oor meer water, ’n groter pomp
en is ook vierwiel-aangedrewe.”
Die Pringlebaai-voertuig is meer gepas
om veldbrande te bestry.
“Dié voertuig is aangekoop deur geld wat
die gemeenskap self ingesamel het.”
Dit het die vrywilligerskorps van
Pringlebaai vyf tot ses jaar se geleenthede
en skenkings (van heelparty groot finansiële instellings) gekos om genoeg geld bymekaar te maak vir dié vuurwa.
Die Overstrand-munisipaliteit is verantwoordelik vir die onderhoud van die voertuig.
Die gemeenskap, saam met die Overstrand-munisipaliteit, is tans besig om ’n
nuwe satelliet-brandweerstasie te bou.
“Dié groep mense is ’n sprekende voorbeeld van hoe die gemeenskap en die
brandweer saam kan werk om ’n veiliger
omgewing te skep,” het Aplon gesê.

Geel wa’s vir Overstrand
Die Overstrand het
verlede naweek twee
nuwe brandweerwaens in ontvangs geneem, een vir die
Overstrand brand- en
reddingseenheid en ’n
tweede vir die Pringlebaai-stasie.
Aplon, die stasiebevelvoerder van die Hermanus-stasie, wat deel
vorm van die Overstrand Brandweerdienste, is die brandweerwa
vir Hermanus gebou
volgens die vereistes
van die Wes-Kaapse brandweerhoofde-komitee.
“Alle brandweervoertuie is in verskillende
klassifikasies verdeel. Die voertuig is dan in
’n ‘Urban pumper type 1’ omskep, wat die
hoogste klassifikasie is vir struktuurbrande
“Dié voertuig gee ons die vermoë om struktuurbrande en reddingsaksies te hanteer en
sal aansienlik ons diens verbeter.”
Dit is deur Marcé Projects, wat die brandweerwa gebou het, aan die Overstrand-munisipaliteit oorhandig tydens die Brandweerdiens-feesvieringe verlede naweek.
Volgens Aplon is die Overstrand-brandweer reeds sedert 2008 besig om sy vloot van
rooi na geel te verander en dus is die nuwe
“Geel is meer sigbaar as rooi. Rooi is tradisioneel meer kenmerkend vir brandweervoertuie, maar brandweerdienste verrig heelwat
meer funksies as net brande blus.

’n wa en tenker in Kleinmond, drie brandweerwaens in Gansbaai, en drie in Hermanus, wat die nuwe voertuig insluit.

Africa’s southern-most indigenous forest, Platbos, near

fourth annual Greenpop Reforest Fest.
New municipal court out of the starting blocks
After years of planning, a new additional court – which will focus only
on contraventions of municipal bylaws, is finally becoming a reality for
The cases which will be dealt with
in this additional court will include
noise complaints, speeding and traffic fines and violations of town planning and building regulations.
“At the moment municipal bylaw
contraventions have taken the back
seat in the criminal court and are
usually last to be heard,” says attorney and Law Society area representative of about 50 local attorneys, Adrian Louw.
“This means that the enforcement
of local bylaws becomes somewhat irrelevant. But it is important to try the
individuals contravening these
According to Louw, the municipality must start adopting a stance of zero tolerance where every small con-
travention of the law is prosecuted,
leading to other crimes also decreasing.
“With the help of the new municipal court, the magistrate’s court will
also be able to operate at a higher capacity and give attention to serious
crimes, including theft and drug related crimes.
“The community wants to see a
functioning law system. If the system
starts falling apart, it leads to vigilantism within communities.”
Louw is still concerned about the
current magistrate’s court.
“The additional court will help
with the criminal case loads, but will
not address the issues regarding the
civil, family and children’s court.
“There has not been enough spatial
and personnel capacity for at least 15
years. The current magistrate’s
court is in serious need of rebuilding
Tender notices to furbish and shopfit the new building have been published (HT 1 May) and must be sub-
mitted by 23 May 2014.
The Overstrand Municipality has
already advertised for the position of
a prosecutor/legal advisor (HT 8
May), while the magistrate will be appointed by the Department of Justice.
Lionel Wallace, senior manager of
law services at the Overstrand Municipality, said that a part of Harmony House, situated within the municipal grounds, will be converted for
use as the new court.
“Building will commence soon.
The next step in the process is to appoint the necessary court officials, in
line with the requirements from the
“Furniture for the court must go
through a formal procurement process,” said Wallace. He added that the
opening date for the additional court
is subject to the process to bring the
building up to the standards as set
out by the department.
The aim is to open the doors as soon
as possible after the original planned
date of 1 July 2014.

With the voter turnout at 77,7%, the
people of the Overstrand have had
their say when it comes to leadership.
But each of us can play a role in making our community better, cleaner and
safer by working with the local municipality and being watchdogs to make
sure good governance and service delivery prevails.
And then, after a long wait, the Hermanus fire station received a new
bright yellow fire truck last week, replacing the written-off one.
Better equipment means a safer environment for the whole community,
as was evident with the quick response
to a fire in Marine Drive this week.
By working hand-in-hand, new goals
can be set and achieved, as can be seen
in Pringle Bay, where the community
helped raise funds for their new fire

Biological control needed in fight against alien invasives
The article “Alien hackers give fynbos a fighting chance” in the Hermanus Times of 8 May
All of us who cherish our fynbos and realise
how big a threat alien invasives are to it, owe
Charlyn Vosloo and her team of volunteers
and workers a huge vote of thanks. It is people
like Charlyn who get off their couches and literally take up arms against the threat.
But how big a threat are aliens and why
CSIR environmental economist Dr Willem
de Lange and CSIR ecologist Dr Brian van
Wilgen have estimated that the value of services provided by ecosystems in South Africa
amounts to an estimated R152 billion per year.
The millions of rands contributed to the economy by nature-based tourism is not included
in this estimate. Services provided by Mother
Nature herself through eco-systems include
water, grazing and biodiversity.
The researchers comment: “If we allow al-
Hermanus­medici ‘melk’ pasiënte
As nuwe intrekker vanaf Gauteng net meer
as ’n jaar gelede, was ek verbaas om te sien
hoe die mediese beroep pasiënte in Hermanus “melk”.
In Hermanus is daar blykbaar nie ’n privaat dokter, spesialis of X-straal-departement wat ingekontrakteer is nie. By almal
moet jy uit jou eie sak ’n bedrag inbetaal
ongeag wie jy is. Miljoenêr, gewone werkersklas met ’n siekefonds, of ’n pensioenaris wat probeer oorleef ná jou duur mediese
fonds van jou karige pensioen afgetrek is.
Was my verbasing nog groter toe ek onlangs ’n sonar by die enigste privaat
X-straal-kliniek op die dorp moes laat doen.
Met ’n afspraak in my hand en voorbereiding wat ek die vorige dag al moes doen, het
ek in die sonarkamer gewag. Die dokter aan
diens was besig met ’n CT-skandering.
Ná 20 minute se wag word ek deur die radiografis meegedeel dat die dokter nie weet
hoe om die sonar te doen nie en of ek ’n herskedulering vir ’n ander dag wil maak wanneer daar ’n ander dokter aan diens sal wees.
Sjoe, sowaar! Dié dokter weet hoe om ’n CTskandering te doen maar nie hoe om ’n sonar
te doen nie. Dit laat ’n mens wonder waar
het die dokter sy opleiding gehad?
Hierdie was vir my onaanvaarbaar. Wat
as die volgende dokter ook nie weet hoe om
die sonar te doen nie? Geen waarborge nie.
My tyd en opoffering is blykbaar nie vir die
duur kliniek van belang nie. Ek glo die rekening sou wel onmiddellik ná die prosedure
na my siekefonds gestuur word.
En dan, tydens ’n privaat besoek by die
provinsiale hospitaal het ek kennis geneem
van die netheid van die hospitaal in teenstelling met baie ander staatshospitale waar ek
nie eers my doodsertifikaat sal laat uitskryf
Your front page article “Hemel-en-Aarde Valley farm
attack – two of four suspects still at large” (HT 8 May)
refers. On Wednesday 30 April at about 21:00 we experienced what every South African family fears most –
an armed robbery in their homes. We were tied up and
held at gunpoint, our house was ransacked and the perpetrators escaped in our car, which they crashed enroute to Hermanus.
We immediately reported this incident to the Hermanus police station and were astounded at the rapid
response and professional service of all their officers
throughout the entire investigation. Warrant Officer
Fouché and his team are to be applauded for their highly professional approach, their diligence and support.
They are a credit to the SAPS and we would like to
put on record our appreciation for their efforts to make
an unpleasant situation manageable and for their commitment to solving this crime.
We would also like to extend our thanks to the neighbouring farmers for their kind wishes and offers of support following the incident. Sadly, in light of our experience we are compelled to install high-level security
measures to ensure our safety; while this is not how
one would choose to live in our valley, common sense
nie. Ek het besluit om dié staatshospitaal
op die proef te stel. Behalwe vir die lang wag
om my lêer op die eerste dag oop te maak
het dinge daarna redelik vlot verloop.
’n Afspraak vir ’n sonar is gemaak. Die
oggend van die sonar was ek gelukkig om
net twee persone voor my te kry en binne
20 minute was ek op pad na die X-straal- afdeling waar ek vriendelik ontvang is.
Die opvolgafspraak ’n week later by die
kliniek was ’n heel ander storie. My afspraak was vir 15:00 geskeduleer. Ek het om
14:25 aangemeld om tyd toe te laat vir die
verkryging van my lêer. Daar het reeds ’n
pasiënt by die enigste toonbank wat oop was
gesit en nog agt ander pasiënte wat wag.
Die klerk aan diens het duidelik nie geweet wat sy moet doen nie en het meer agter
met papiere rondgeloop as met die pasiënt
gepraat. Na wat gevoel het soos ’n ewigheid
is die pasiënt se saak afgehandel. Nadat ek
die klinieksuster meegedeel het van my vertraging by ontvangs, het sy gaan navraag
Nog ’n toonbank is daarna oopgemaak,
maar o wee, die klerk het slegs een persoon
gehelp (20 min.), haar handsak geneem en
by die hoofdeur uitgestap. Duidelik het sy
’n veer gevoel vir die mense wat al lank sit
en wag. Iets wat ’n mens nie in die privaatsektor sal kry nie.
My geduld was ná 50 minute en ’n verstreke afspraak op breekpunt en het ek aangedring om die hoof van die afdeling te spreek.
Verskeie redes is aangevoer waarom die
diens op die betrokke dag nie na wense was
nie – klerk met verlof en ander op tee of ete
en dié wat beskikbaar was, ken nie die werk
Tot my verbasing het ek ook gehoor dat
iens to dominate our natural ecosystems, the
systems will lose their ability to deliver many
of the benefits on which we depend for our
livelihoods. Invasive alien plants use excessive amounts of water and smother our remarkable biodiversity, resulting in reduced
river flow, a loss of grazing and a loss of harvested products from the veld.”
Fire-adapted trees like pines and hakeas
contribute to 20% of the alien impact in fynbos
ecosystems, while invasive Australian acacia
trees contribute about 80%.
However, hacking and poisoning of invasive species by dedicated hackers in
Hermanus and the considerable efforts of
Working for Water in the rest of the country
will never win the war. We need the help of
nature itself. Biological control of these aliens
by pathogens from their country of origin has
been used successfully in South Africa and is
an essential part of the offensive strategy.
Pathogens include seed and flower-eating indaar 20 tot 30 minute per pasiënt by ontvangs toegelaat word. Kom ons doen ’n berekening teen gemiddeld 20 minute per pasiënt. Jy kom aan by ontvangs en daar sit
reeds 10 mense en wag. Nie ongewoon vir
’n normale werksdag nie. As daar ’n pasiënt
elke 20 minute gehelp word en my wiskunde
my nie in die steek laat nie gaan pasiënt nr.
11 dus ongeveer 200 minute wag. Dit is swak
Interne probleme mag nooit na die publiek oorspoel nie. Daar is bejaardes, verwagtende moeders, moeders met klein kindertjies en mense wat soms erge pyn verduur wat op harde stoele sit en wag. ’n Mens
voel jammer vir die mense wat geen ander
opsies het nie, dit is onmenslik en onregverdig. Die enigste ligpunt by die hospitaal is
die vriendelikheid van die meeste personeel, veral by die kliniek. Dankie klinieksusters, julle is die ware sterre.
“I put it to you” Hermanus Hospitaal,
word wakker. Daar is maniere om die probleem op te los sonder enige ekstra kostes.
Trek die lêers van pasiënte met afsprake
voor die tyd en laat ontvangs dit uitdeel soos
hulle aanmeld. Die ry sal baie korter en die
wagperiode aansienlik minder wees. Die
kliniek hoef dan nie te wag vir pasiënte wat
hulle lewe omsit in die ontvangs nie. Dit
gaan bitter min tyd van die klerk by ontvangs neem en groot verligting op die wagtyd plaas.
Die regering wil graag mediesefonds-pasiënte in hul hospitale sien om finansiering
te help. Dit gebeur nêrens nie en sal ook nie
met die huidige toedrag van sake in Hermanus gebeur nie!
Pasiënte met siekefondse sal na die eerste
besoek vlug en nooit weer terug kom nie.
sects, fungal diseases, wasps that produce
galls, and so forth.
De Lange and Van Wilgen add that they
found biological control to be very effective
in protecting ecosystem services. If there had
been no biological control of invasive alien
plants in South Africa, the country would
have lost ecosystem services worth R48,2 billion per year.
They estimate that controlling the invasive
Australian trees just in fynbos has saved us
R1,4 billion per year.
The biological control of aliens in fynbos
is one of the fascinating topics in the course
on Fynbos offered at Hermanus FynArts, on
15 June. Anyone who is concerned about protecting biodiversity, not just in Hermanus,
but in the entire Cape Floristic Region, will
find the course of great interest.
Emerantia Cupido, Western Cape Government Health: Principal Communications Officer responds:
In response to the letters from Mrs Dorothy
Smith and Andre Roux (Hermanus Times 1
May) a follow up was done with both complainants and how the triage system works
Mr Roux and Mrs Smith were both satisfied with the feedback they received.
In response to this third letter being published this week, the Western Cape Government Health, Hermanus Hospital would like
to thank Ms Erna Bosman for her positive
feedback pertaining to the cleanliness of the
hospital and the excellent service that is being
provided by the radiography department.
The hospital management would like to

caused on 23 April 2014.
The management wants to assure Ms Bosman that her suggestions have already been
implemented practically as reflected at her
follow-up visit on 30 April 2014.

Dankie vir die FynArts-fees. So jammer dat

FynArts verdien ’n staande ovasie op alle
fronte. Die woordspeling op “Fynbos” en “Fine Arts” is pittig. Die tydsberekening, om Hermanus se galerye, restaurante, gastehuise en
inwoners te dra deur die donkerste, natste
deel van die winter, verdien applous.
Die veelsydige program met ’n magdom
genres is enig en intiem op die feeskalender
Hope plaaslike talent kry kans om uit te stal
en vir die res is daar blootstelling aan die beste
Die mate waartoe die program deur die hele
Hermanus meander, deur dorpskern tot in
Zwelihle, van Hawston tot in Hemel-en-Aarde, is merkwaardig.
Die praktiese en gebruikersvriendelike
glansboekie beïndruk. Die webtuiste is ’n
voorbeeld vir ander feeste, wat soms tot verwarrens toe bladsye en bladsye “lysies” beslaan.
Dankie vir die innovering om vir 10 dae in

seisoen en sy “mespunt”-sakebestaan, fakkeltjies aan te steek om die dorp in die donker
winter te verlig.

Mary Jane also tells the story of her mum’s
parents who had returned to Cape Town from
the UK and that Kathleen’s father had brought
the first hydroplanes to South Africa along
with Royal Flying Corps pilot Dennis Cutler.
In a report in The Daily News dated September 9, 1969 (which Mary Jane showed the Hermanus Times) it states that, “For centuries
man has been boating and swimming. But the
earliest record of anybody aquaplaning or skiing in Durban Bay dates back to 1914 when
Mr Gerard Hudson bought and imported two
hydroplanes as a novel attraction for the gala
season. It was used for flips around the Bay.”

en was verkope fluks. Pannekoeke, heer­
like tuisgebak en vars vleis is sommer
vinnig uitverkoop. Rothea Kleynhans,
Rhoda Brynard, Hanna Patterson en Ma­

Daughters Mary Jane and Tessa celebrated
their mum’s 100th birthday on Monday 12

Kidbrooke Place for the past 10 years.
It was later taken to Kenya during WWI
where it was used to trace the Koningsberg,
a German boat hiding on an East African river.
Mary Jane and Tessa have enriched Kathleen’s life with six grandchildren, who added
eleven great-grandchildren to the family fold.

5 years on and lots to smile about
It’s hard not to smile when you enter the
iSmile orthodontic practise of Dr Frans
Kruger in Northcliff, Hermanus. Even though
the main reason for visiting is exactly because
your smile isn’t as perfect as it can be.
It’s the warm, perfect teeth welcome smile
you receive from Dr Kruger when you walk
through the doors of his practice, adjacent to
his and wife Louisa’s home at 9 Impala Street.
This month it has been five years since he
first opened his doors. And there are at least
three reasons for celebrating.
Not least of all the addition of little Estella
(1) to the family fold, a sister to Sophia, who
is now three years old.
“Yes, we’re growing on all fronts,” says
Frans with a proud grin.
Another reason to celebrate is the extension
of the services offered by Dr Kruger. Although
90% of his clients are and will remain children
who require orthodontic attention, he does
now offer facial aesthetics for adults.
He explains: “It’s Botox and fillers. All this
is still in the same field of enhancing your
smile. Botox everyone knows, and fillers are
for smoothing out those laughing lines
around the mouth.” Dr Kruger offers this
service twice a week, in the mornings.
But his main focus is still dental orthodontics for children. “This is the other reason for
celebrating. To give a public thank you to our
clients for their continued support. It is great
to see some of the brothers and sisters of their
now older siblings also coming in for braces.
So many of the same families have remained

‘More than lip service needed’
for CBD and Lemm’s Corner
The sad demise of Lemm’s Corner, as seen
through the eyes of Beth and Noel Hunt,
and their suggestions to restore this once
vibrant and creative hub of Hermanus,
has generated a great deal of interest.
The Hunts, who have owned Hemmingways Bookshop in Harbour Road for the past
19 years, say that after their letter was published in the Hermanus Times of 24 April, they
experienced a positive and supportive response to their proposal for Lemm’s Corner
and the Hermanus CBD.
They say: “As well as between 20 to 30 walkins and telephonic calls received at our shop,
we have been informed that an executive consultant is currently proposing to negotiate a
lease on Lemm’s Corner and will put forward
a business plan to the relevant authorities.”
Angela Heslop of the Hermanus History Society has indicated that the society is in favour of the proposal to bring about the restoration of the CBD and in particular Lemm’s
Corner as a historical landmark of which the
town can be proud.
The Hunts confirm that considerable support has been shown for the upgrading of
Lemm’s Corner with a view to perhaps transforming this area into a park with trees,
benches, gardens, and a fountain.
As far as the revitalisation of the CBD initiative that was launched some time ago, is concerned, the Hunts say:
“In 2013 we attended a meeting by Petrus
Hendrickz, held in the auditorium. We put
our names down on a list confirming our wish
to participate in the proposals for pro-active
They continue: “Our focus as shop retailers
in the CBD is not on the Sandbaai mall or any
other such development, but solely on revitalising the CBD, which already is suffering as
a result of the geographical shift to the Checkers/Woolworths malls.”
The Hunts say in the last five years they
have seen a radical down marketing of the
CBD and the neglect surrounding Lemm’s
Corner is a point in case.
“Our proposals are not ‘about moaning’,
but are rather pro-active suggestions with a
view to creating change for the benefit of a
town which stakes its claim internationally
as the whale watching capital of the world.”
The Hunts claim that at least eighteen
months ago they sent a proposal to the mayor
supporting the delineation of an old town,
which was to include the revamp of Lemm’s
“Shortly afterwards, we were visited at our
shop by Ben Solomon, an official of the municipality. He enthused about the concept
which we had suggested. To date, we have received no further response from either him,
the mayor or any other member of the municipality.”
Elizabeth du Toit, director of the Old Harbour Museum, says: “The Board of Trustees
has already identified and approved the implementation of a long-term plan, including
an enclosed garden with benches and lights
for the Lemm’s Corner area, as well as a few
permanent kiosks for selected traders. This
was drawn up by an architect and is presently
going through some processes, looking at
some other input from various members of
the community, tenants and traders. Since
the last two publications of the Hermanus
Times, some more supportive proposals have
come forward and all of these go to the Board
of Trustees for its perusal. It will be meeting
next week (Thursday 15 May) and will then
give an indication of what the way forward
Although Hemingways and other retailers
do open 7 days a week, and have done so for
some years now, there still remains a considerable number of shops who do not follow this
“To the best of our knowledge there are no
regulations, apart from Village Square, regarding retail shop hours. Although it should
be obvious to retailers to take cognisance of
the fact that Hermanus is a destination for
visitors from Cape Town and further afield,
an entrenched mindset still prevails with
most shops closing midday Saturday only to
reopen again on Monday morning,” say the
They say they had experienced a problem
regarding the rental of their business premises as a result of the financial strain of annual
increments way in excess of current inflation
and market rates. They were, however, able
to negotiate more realistic terms with their
“Unfortunately, this is not the case with a
number of small retailers. In fact a small business in the CBD is currently paying almost
double the price per square metre as is being
charged by the Cape Town Waterfront.
The Hunts say: “We have been heartened
to know that our vision for the CBD, especially Lemm’s Corner, is shared by so many others. However, more than lip service to make
this a reality is required.”

Hermanus team back from tour
A tired but triumphant team of delegates
returned earlier this week after blowing the
trumpet for Hermanus and the Whale Coast
at the annual Tourism Indaba.
Blake Albert, general manager at the
Windsor Hotel and one of the delegates, said
the trip was a huge success and that they are
hoping that the payoff will be visible within
Albert is part of a team of local business
people who grouped together on a Hermanus
On Tour mission to ensure a presence in the
Inkosi Albert Luthuli Convention Centre
(Durban ICC) at the Tourism Indaba in Durban held from 10 – 12 May.
“The Indaba this year was a lot better than
last year. The Whale Crier, Eric Davalala,
was absolutely amazing. He captivated both
the local and international visitors with his
energy and everyone wanted to take a photo
with him. He was truly an incredible ambassador for Hermanus and the Whale Coast as
Albert said they used some old-school tactics to draw people to their stall.
“We had a welcoming cocktail party, and
on Mother’s Day we handed out little bouquets of Fynbos we had taken along for the
trip.” A cardboard shark to advertise the region’s shark cage diving industry, was also
“The teamwork between the delegates was
outstanding. Everyone worked together,
channelling the right energy. It was such a
wonderful culmination of ideas and we drew
a lot of attention,” said Albert.
“There were also a number of bloggers who
became very interested in the area and we
are hoping that they will be visiting soon.”
The Whale Crier is still on his way back
from Indaba with the Hermanus Online team
in their vehicle named Die Skip.
Davalala will be welcomed home today
(Thursday), when he completes the last leg
of the journey. A party will be welcoming him
at Hermanus Tourism at around 15:30.

FINMONITOR: En as die beer oorneem?
Die aandelebulmark wat reeds jare

opportunistiese – eintlik naïewe – beleggers. Dié beleggers spring daagliks nog
geesdriftig op die wa, meestal sonder ’n

rande meer word soos die JSE indekse nuwe
hoogtepunte bereik. Beleggingsadviseurs is
’n beslommernis en kos geld; beleggingsplanne belemmer beweeglikheid.”
En as die beer die bul verjaag? “Wel dan
sal ons tog betyds uitspring”, meen hulle
Wel, wel. Toe die JSE Algehele Indeks met
sowat 44% tussen 2008 en 2009 getuimel het,
het sulke beleggers (sonder ’n beleggingsplan) hulle op ’n bloedige slagveld bevind.
Vir lank moes hulle slegs wonde lek en kon
hulle nie aktief op die beurs optree nie.
Maar nou, vyf jaar later, in ’n stewige bulmark, baljaar hulle weer.
Vrae ontstaan oor die volhoubaarheid
van die bulmark wat kort-kort nuwe hoogtepunte bereik. Die wêreldekonomie stotter,
vraagtekens hang oor China se ekonomiese
mirakel, die SA ekonomie vertoon swak en
swakker, rentekoerse is blykbaar op ’n stygbaan, arbeidsonrus verlam van ons belangrikste uitvoersektore en sakesentiment is
bedruk en kwesbaar.
Teen hierdie agtergrond lyk aandelewaardasies hoog d.w.s. aandele van prominente maatskappye wat reeds opvallende
pryslopies gehad het, lyk duur. Dit verg dapperheid om te argumenteer dat ’n beurskorreksie buite die kwessie is. Ernstige beleggers pantser hulle teen die risiko van kapitaalverlies, besluitloosheid en verwarring
indien so ’n situasie sou uitspeel deur op
’n deeglik-beredeneerde beleggingsplan
staat te maak. Hoe gaan die opportunistiese
beleggers so ’n situasie sonder ’n beleggingsplan trotseer? Eintlik baie moeilik.
Hoe gemaak om ’n beleggingsplan in plek
1. Aanvaar dat elke belegger se situasie
uniek is; daar bestaan nie ’n “one-size-fitsall”-beleggingsoplossing nie
2. Betrek ’n beleggingsdeskundige tensy
jyself een is
3. Ontleed jou behoeftes: word gereelde
inkomste-onttrekkings benodig; is kapitaal
nodig vir kinders se opvoeding of aankoop
van ’n nuwe motorvoertuig; is aanvulling
van ontoereikende bestaande aftreevoordele nodig ens?
4. Ontleed jou totale finansiële situasie:
uitstaande skuld, belastingpligtigheid, bestaande beleggings, ens.
5. Bepaal jou vermoë om risiko te kan hanteer – toepaslike metodes bestaan om dit te
bepaal vanaf TOTAAL KONSERWATIEF
(geen risiko-aptyt) tot UITERS AGGRESSIEF (groot risiko-aptyt). Hierdie stap is
6. Wys beleggingsfondse toe aan bateklasse met verskillende risikoprofiele nl. aandele en eiendom (hoë risiko), rentebeleggings

deur fondse tussen plaaslike en internasionale belegging te versprei. ’n Beleggingstrategie kristalliseer wat in ’n beleggingsplan
7. Implementering van die beleggingsplan volg. Aandele, effektetrusts en rentebeleggings word uitgesoek, plaaslike sowel as
internasionaal. Direkte aandelebelegging
asook effektetrusts en ander geskikte beleggingsprodukte word vermeng om die toepaslike risikomengsel van die beleggingsportefeulje te verseker.
8. Die hele proses werk beste deur ’n beleggingskundige te betrek.
Die beleggingsplan is die kompas wat
koers aandui, rustigheid bring en vertroue
inboesem veral wanneer die beleggingsomgewing onstuimig raak en versleg in ’n pynlike korreksie. Dit rig die toepaslike respons; deur by die plan te bly solank die belegger se omstandighede nie verander het

“Bovim Ballet is honoured to be part of
Hermanus FynArts,” said Sean Bovim,
who founded the Cape Town company
Ovations, a programme with highlights
from the company’s repertoire, will be
staged in the Hermanus High School Hall
on Saturday 7 June at 19:30.
Audiences can prepare to be entertained
and enthralled with hand-picked hits from
Tango Nights, Swing Time, Romeo’s Kiss,
Queen at the Ballet and Private Presley. The
programme also offers a powerful fusion of
fashion and dance.
Sean is an award-winning South African
choreographer whose creations have been
presented worldwide. Over the past 15
years, he has made ballet accessible by
creating popular works that have drawn in
a new and young market. He enjoys pushing
the boundaries choreographically and creates works that incorporate dance styles
such as contemporary, jazz and even African dance without losing the basic principles of ballet technique.
The Ovations dancers will also be hosting
a dance workshop on 7 June between 11:00
and 12:00 noon in the Hermanus High
School hall. Workshop tickets cost R50.
) Tickets at R120 are available at
www.webtickets.co.za or Hermanus Tourism on 028 312 2629.
www.hermanusfynarts.co.za, or collect a
booklet at the Hermanus Tourism office.
If you purchase a minimum of four or five
tickets at Hermanus Tourism, you could
still get them at the early bird rate.
Make sure not to miss Bovim Ballet’s Ovations during FynArts on 7 June.
Did you know: Most
adapted to be pollinated
by animals, especially in­
sects. About a third of all
crops (fruits and vegetables, maize and wheat) that
are pollinated by insects, especially honeybees.
They are ideal pollinators because they deliber­
ately collect pollen and continually move between
flowers, often concentrating on a single plant spe­
cies, and move over large distances.
Our world would be very different without hon­
eybees. So it is very worrying that honeybees are
in severe trouble around the world.
There is also some cause for concern in South
Africa. We can help our bees by not spraying insec­
ticides and planting bee forage in our gardens.

FIREBLADE SP: EXTRACTING THE VERY BEST FROM EVERY RIDER
Honda launches CBR1000RR SP
For 21 years Honda has pursued
a concept of “Total Control” with
the Fireblade, after rewriting the
rulebook in 1992 with the original CBR900RR.
CBR1000RR has developed into perhaps the most balanced Super Sport
machine available, combining exceptional performance and handling with a satisfying ability to extract the very best from every rider.
Victories in the World Super Bike
(WSBK) championship and all-conquering success at the Isle of Man
TT, with average lap speeds of
130 mph plus over 37,73 miles over
the mountain course, is testament
to the CBR1000RR’s innate capacity.
The open-class CBR has built a
loyal army of fans around the world
over two decades especially with
over 200 000 sold, throughout Europe. And in response to demand
from hard-core performance enthusiasts, Honda for the very first time
in 2014 is producing the CBR1000RR
Fireblade SP. A track-focused, yet
fully road legal, limited edition
Sport Production version of the
standard bike that not only looks
special – it is special.
In Japanese to give something
‘edge’ is to add polish. And for the
dedicated track day goer that’s exactly what the CBR1000RR Fireblade SP has been given: “Total Control” with an extra edge.
The chassis wears circuit-ready
plus Brembo four-piston mono
block calipers, with frame revisions
and new top and bottom yokes to
suit. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP
tyres are the finishing touch.
The 999.8cc inline four-cylinder
engine gets the same updated cylin-
The CBR1000RR SP’s 999.8cc, 16­valve inline four­cylinder engine has the same cylinder head updates as the
der head as the standard 2014
CBR1000RR Fireblade, with improved inlet/exhaust gas flow and
combustion efficiency, and an extra
2 kW peak power boost. However
the SP features factory-matched pistons and con-rods, to ensure optimum internal balance.
As a track-focused machine
there’s no provision for a pillion and
a sleek single-seat unit saves
weight. Further marking the SP version out from standard is its own
unique Tricolour paint – white and
two-tone blue, with a central red
stripe and trademark Honda gold
At 35 mm (from 38 mm) the exhaust pipe diameters are smaller,
increasing torque and a new vertical connecting pipe balances pressure between cylinders two and
three. Peak power of 133 kW – up
2 kW – arrives at 12 250rpm; torque
is improved in the 4-6 000 rpm area,
peaking with 114 Nm delivered at
10 500 rpm.
The CBR1000RR SP’s 999.8cc, 16valve inline four-cylinder engine
has the same cylinder head updates
as the standard machine. The inlet
and exhaust ports have been reshaped and polished with the combustion chambers “gas-flowed” to
The CBR1000RR SP uses a new
“wave” design ignition key; it offers
improved security and its compact
size greatly reduces the chance of
breakage. Also new is the fuel tank
cap – it uses an improved breather
design for better venting.
Instrumentation is a multi-function LCD with a cockpit display
dominated by the digital bar-type
linear tachometer that scrolls left to
right as engine speed increases.
Beneath this are the main numerical readouts: gear position, coolant
temperature, speedometer, clock/
lap time, trip/fuel efficiency/fuel
consumption and odometer/numerical tachometer. At the bottom
of the display are lights for headlight high beam, neutral and indicators.
Clear and easy to read in all light
conditions, the tachometer has four
which uses black LCD segments to
show current rpm; Reverse, which
employs black LCD segments to
show remaining rpm. Peak Hold indicates rpm in the conventional way
and also leaves a tell-tale segment
showing the peak rpm achieved
while Single Segment uses a single
block to show current engine speed.
In addition the odometer may be
switched to display engine rpm numerically.
The lap timer features four
modes. The display can also show
fuel consumption, average fuel efficiency, distance travelled and total
elapsed time. To assist debriefing after a session, lap-time recall mode
shows the fastest lap time and the
lap on which it was set.
To ensure gear shifting at the optimum engine rpm, the 5-level shift
indicator display uses highly visible white LEDs, adjustable for
brightness. They illuminate sequentially as engine rpm rises, finally blinking at a chosen pre-set
rpm (default is 13 000 rpm but this
can be set between 4 000 rpm and
13 000 rpm). The interval between
sequential illumination can also be
set at 0,200 or 400 rpm.

Golf round­up with Julian Shaw
This week we had some better weather on the golfing days, so we have a full golf report.
Tuesday was the ladies, and this week was the turn
of the dreaded medal and putts, a true test of golf.
Winning the best gross, no surprise here, was Lynne
Behagg with a very well constructed 75.
Winning the silver division was Lexa Garbers with
a great nett 69, the bronze division victor was Wendy
Altona de Klerk who counted in on nett 72, and
Charme Southey won the putts with 27 strokes.
Well played to all the ladies.
Wednesday was an equally beautiful day with 110
players and this week was kindly sponsored by Overberg Asset Management.
Our competition was a betterball stableford and
we had a spectacular 51 points from Jan Kuhn and
Indeed, Neil had a nett 64, and I am sure the handicapper is eagerly anticipating this card. We had ten
two clubs and ball pool paid to 46.
Saturday was a challenging day to say the least.
The wind got up and the rain came down, but undaunted we had 100 players braving the elements.
This week was the Dockerall Cup, which was first
played for in 1948, and the format was an individual
bogey plus. Coming out tops this week was an old
campaigner in the form of Harold Barker with a very
good +3. Congratulations Harold.
Harold also won on the South Course. Winning on
the North Course was an even older campaigner,
Johnny Rhodes on +1. It is nice to see Johnny back
There was just one two club from Terry Westbrook,
which took the pot! Ball pool paid to -1.
We also had great results from our league teams
this week with the Kruger team winning against
Bredasdorp 5.5 to 2.5, and our Brodie team won
against Arabella 6-2. Well played guys.

8TH YEAR: FUTURE OF RACE UNCERTAIN
The eighth annual Wheels and
Runners Race took place in Hermanus over the weekend, and
over 600 entrants took part in the
PROVINSIALE SPORTMANNE EN ­VROUE VAN HOËRSKOOL
HERMANUS: Die volgende leerders van Hoërskool Hermanus is in pro­
vinsiale en nasionale spanne vir verskillende sportsoorte ingesluit: Agter:
Karli Beyers (Boland o.16 muurbal); Nelrine Beyers (Boland o.18 muur­
bal); Kristen Block (Boland o.18 B­span hokkie) en Richard Whitelaw (Bo­
land o.18 B­span hokkie). Middel: Carmen Lenci (o.16); Mika Engelbrecht
(o.18) en Kendra Hudson (o.18) behaal die Boland Streekspan vir hokkie.
Voor: Tyron Davidowits (Boland o.17 gholfspan) en Ayron Davidowits
(Protea o.20 kushengelspan).
This year’s number of entrants
were down from last year.
“In 2013 we had a record number
of 757 entrants taking part, while
this year we had a total of 651,” said
local organiser Karin Coetzee.
“According to the timekeepers
this trend is seen in most races. It
seems to be due to the state of the
economy and the increase in the petrol price.”
This year’s competitors competed
at a slower pace than last year.
In the 21,1 km race, Johann Lubbe
came in first in a time of 1 hour 14
minutes and 14 seconds, followed
closely by Tony Williams in 1:14:22.
Gerrit Hendricks came in third in
a time of 1:16:13.
