THE MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Simon Skhosana has led a government delegation to meet Eskom to resolve the debt problem that nearly led to an electricity cut off in the Thaba Chweu Local municipality. The delegation included the Executive Mayor of Thaba Chweu
Cllr Michael Ncongwane and officials from both the Provincial Government and the municipality. The meeting agreed that there will no electricity cut off and the municipality will pay off its current account of R11.8 million. Thereafter the municipality will continue to service its current account. The meeting further agreed that Thaba Chweu
Municipality and Eskom will work together to develop a repayment plan for the outstanding debt of R163 million. The repayment plan will be for a period of 12 months. Eskom will conduct a cable audit to be able to determine all illegal electricity connections and they will also assist the municipality to ensure that its billing system is accurate.

Afriforum comments on electricity saga From page 1 The MEC for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Mr Simon Skhosana has led a government delegation to meet Eskom to resolve the debt problem that nearly led to an electricity cut off in the Thaba Chweu Local municipality. The delegation included the Executive Mayor of Thaba Chweu Cllr Michael Ncongwane and officials from both the Provincial Government and the municipality. The meeting agreed that there will no electricity cut off and the municipality will pay off its current account of R11.8 million. Thereafter the municipality will continue to service its current account. The meeting further agreed that Thaba Chweu Municipality and Eskom will work together to develop a repayment plan for the outstanding debt of R163 million. The repayment plan will be for a period of 12 months. Eskom will conduct a cable audit to be able to determine all illegal electricity connections and they will also assist the municipality to ensure that its billing system is accurate. The administrative team dispatched to the municipality is yielding positive results. It has been able to put systems in place that have enabled the municpality to be able to increase the electricity payment rate. MEC Skhosana would like to assure residents that there will be no electricity cut off. “ Our meeting with Eskom has yielded positive results. I would like to appeal to all residents and business to also play their part by paying for their electricity accounts” said Skhosana. Leon de Jager, Chairman of the Afriforum Lydenburg Branch, commented as follows on the press release of 21 October 2013, released by COGTA, in this regard: Firstly, we would like to commend Eskom, Cogta and the Thaba Chweu Municipality on the agreement reached. We are gladdened by the fact that at last “somebody in government” has taken the responsibility to address this outstanding account of over R163M and that the parties could agree on the period of settlement. We are also grateful that Eskom will work with, and assist TCM to conduct cable audits to determine illegal electricity connections and assist TCM to ensure that its billing system is accurate. Secondly, we cannot help but wonder why none of these “agreements” could not be reached without: -Eskom having to threaten TCM in the media of its intention to disconnect the power supply. - Afriforum had to go to the extent of obtaining an urgent High Court order to prevent Eskom from doing so. We have noted that the repayment plan is for a period of twelve months, this will mean that apart from the monthly current accounts of R 11.8M, TCM will have to pay an additional R 13.58M

per month for a period of twelve months, starting from when the agreement becomes effective. We are seriously concerned as to how TCM will manage these very stiff “instalments” out of its available cash flow. This press release does not clarify the following: - What is the start (effective) date of this agreement? - Will there be an interest cost on the R163M? A quick calculation shows that over twelve months at a conservative 6.5% interest, this cost will be in excess of R10.5M - What would the punitive consequence to TCM be, should they not uphold their part of the agreement? About a week or so ago there was an article in the Lowvelder where the Premier, Mr. Mabuza, was quoted as saying, that an ive TCM a anonymous donor will step in and give TCM a “grant” to settle the Eskom account – what has since happened to t h i s d o n o r M r. Premier ?
Rusoord bedank me. Non Mulder en Me. Annie Winterbach vir die pragtige tuine. Rusoord verneem graag van persone wat vir hulle plantjies, rose en struike kan skenk. Rusoord sal dit self oplaai. Dit sal wonderlik wees as die tuine vir die inwoners nog meer kleur kan oplewer. Skakel me. Jeanetta Kruger by 013 235 2146.
Vermiste persoon spoedig gevind Charl en Phia Dorey skryf: Op Sondag 22 September het Sherilee Johnson in die Kranskloof omgewing tussen Lydenburg en Ohrigstad vermis geraak nadat sy die middag gaan stap het. Ons was uitstedig en het die bure se hulp gevra. 'n Soekgeselskap van omtrent 30 mense was
VIR ’n fraksie van ’n sekonde oorweeg ek dit om met ’n glaslepel daaruit te skep. Die glas kon tog nie met die hele inhoud gemeng het nie. Maar dan tik ek myself op die vingers en besef die absurdheid daarvan. Die nuwe blatjang bottel lê in skerwe op die teëls. En die bruinerige-konfytagtige-taaierige-gemors is pragtig uitgesprei op my skoon vloer. Ek het net klaar opgeskep en soos baie mense weet ’n skeppie blatjang kan die meeste wegneemgeregte tuisgemaak laat proe. Dis altans my opinie. Dit is baie rampspoedig hoe goed net op die verkeerde tyd wil breek. Of vice versa. Soos ’n sleutel wat in ’n toegesluite pallisadeslot afbreek. Verbeel jou, vasgekeer in jou eie tronk! As mens al die gebreekte bottels, panne, bakke, blompotte, glase, karre, Tv’s, ketels, gedoentes en allerlei wat al gebreek het in jou lewe bymekaar sit sal ’n aansienlike stapel verrys. Soms skud ek net my kop oor goed wat kan verkeerdgaan en breek, selfs vloekwoorde beskryf soms nie die ware gevoel daaroor nie. Te midde van padwoede wat hoogty vier ry ek doodluiters in ’n besige straat in Lydenburg af. Vir so ’n ou klein dorpie kan die mense darem baie verkeersreëls oortree. My toeter begin ongenadiglik en buite beheer alarm maak. Motoriste kyk verergd na die motor wat hulle so ongeskik vermaan. Ek is nie bang om my toeter te gebruik nie. Saterdagaand stuur ek ’n skietgebed op terwyl ek al die pad Gethlane Lodge toe moet ry om foto’s te gaan neem. Asseblief, laat ek tog nie my toeter-maniere op die Watervalsrivierpad uithaal nie. Maar die eerste trop skape het met behulp van die toeter netjies teruggestap na die gras en gaan wei, nie op die teer nie. Wie kan nou sê skape het nie ore nie. En toe bly my ma elke vyf minute van die gevaarlike koedoes praat langs die pad. Ja-waarlik. Toe is daar elke vyf minute ’n ‘gevaarlike koedoe’. Let wel, eintlik koedoes wat gevaar veroorsaak en nie boosaardige koedoes wat jou wil aanval nie. Dit moes nogal ’n eienaardige prentjie gewees het... die rooikop in die klein wit motortjie met haar een hand in die lug en die ander volstoom op die toeter wat onophoudelik amok maak. Maar die koedoes, skape en ape het eerder agter die bosse gaan wegkruip toe ek verby is. Ten minste doen ek nie stil iets nie. Van die boosaardige koedoes wat ons gaan aanval tot die taai blatjanggemors met glasstukke tussenin... haal net diep asem.
1 Petrus 5:5 En julle wat jonger is, moet aan die ouer mense onderdanig wees. Almal moet trouens teenoor mekaar nederig wees en mekaar help, want “God weerstaan die hoogmoediges, maar aan die nederiges gee Hy genade.” Ons Hemelse Vader, gee dat ons onderdanig sal wees aan die ouer mense en dat ons hulle sal respekteer - Amen.

Mr J. Rogers writes: I have a farm in the Badfontein / Dullstroom district and come and visit every month. My neighbour keeps the Highlands Panorama News for me. It allows me to catch up on local news. Congratulations on your 10th birthday. Since the first edition I have followed the growth and your popularity within the community. Even my friends in Johannesburg know about the small newspaper that can compete with the best in the country. I had the pleasure to recently correspond with the editor, Michelle, via email on the town’s history and she supplied me with a special photo where my great grandfather’s shop was in Kantoor Street. She was so helpful. Thank you Panorama, although I am here only once a month, I feel like I’m part of Lydenburg in every sense.
TCLM is a municipality with contradictions
So kom ek om so kom ek om; Al is die lewe hoepelkrom.
binne 'n uur op die toneel en sy is 40 minute later gevind. Ons wil vir almal wat help soek het baie dankie sê. Spesiaal vir die leiding wat mnr. Basie Language en mnr. Johan Klingbiel gegee het. Dit wys maar net in vandag se moeilike tye dat mense tog vir mekaar omgee.
The Constructive Critic writes: Shame on Thaba Chweu Local Municipality, you have degenerated into a home of secretive disclaimers and self-contradictions. Let me openly indicate that the election of party representatives in the TCLM Council is flawed by default. Why do I say this? Incompetent and illiterate people are forwarded by the ruling party into Governance and Administration (Cadre Development). You can't appoint either a councilor in governance or an official in administration who does not have a basic qualification and requirements and expect good Governance and Administration. Is there any visionary leadership in this? Zilch. Recruitment of staff is HRM basics and you can google or visit any nearest library and peruse, thereafter you will get positive results in getting TCLM on the right track. You can't appoint a Councilor into the Mayoral committee to be responsible for finance and technical services with a grade 10 certificate, that is a grievous folly. Hence the result is huge Eskom debt, fruitless expenditure on security guards who guard transformers, waste sites, community halls and police stations. Lack of service delivery, stagnant IDP and misuse of MIG funds and
thereafter joyfully and with glee, you expect a clean audit. We are on the verge of collapse, like a boxer who is beaten to a pulp in a boxing ring and saved by the bell. Previously it was Grace Castle, followed by Mokale and now in a way it is a task team from COGTA and the Premiers Office. This is an explicit and evident sign that the people of the misty mountain cannot see the light through the mist, shame on you. The vision and the mission written in glossy letters and hung upon the walls in the council chamber and corridors of the council building area are meaningless. The current leadership of the municipality, both council and administration who are paid by indigents and pensioners money have failed to develop a turnaround strategy to collect revenue and raise funds for the institution for its sustainable development. They chose to sit back and feel the coziness of the seats in chamber and the offices waiting for a Messiah and the Province to do their jobs. Where is the value for money? Vivid violations of the Batho Pele Principles. Hence I reiterate that TCLM is a municipality with contradictions.
die personeel van Rusoord met hulle inwoners het. Ek wil dus langs hierdie weg my dank uitspreek teenoor almal met wie ek in die tyd in aanraking gekom het. Die vriendelikheid van die inwoners, hulle kinders en die Beheerraadslede wat so baie van hulle tyd (en geld) in Rusoord belê, baie dankie aan almal van julle. My termyn van twee jaar is nou oor, maar ek bly aan as gewone lid van die Raad. Aan Roelf Castelyn van R&P
Autobody, wat onbestrede deur die Raad verkies is as nuwe Voorsitter, baie geluk Roelf. Ek kan inwoners, hulle kinders en die personeel die versekering gee dat julle nuwe Voorsitter sy bes sal doen om julle belange op die hart te dra. Aan al Rusoord se vriende, die baie donateurs wat so onbaatsugtig groente, vleis en elke ding skenk, nogmaals baie dankie. Mag ons Hemelse Vader iedereen van u seën vir u pragtige diens en u oop hand ter wille van ons bejaardes in hierdie gemeenskap. Onthou, Rusoord se Kersete vir donateurs, lede en inwoners en familie, vind DV op 22 November plaas. Sien U daar!
ishop Daniel Kgomosotho Awarded Mr Doug Starling the Order of St Joseph the Worker on Sunday the 13th of October 2013 at the St Paul's Church of the Parish of Mashishing. The Order of St Joseph the Worker is the highest recognition that a lay person (that is someone who is not a priest) can receive in our Diocese. He motivated the bestowing of this Order as follows: Mr Doug Starling was very involved in motivating the establishment of the Anglican Diocese of Mpumalanga over the many years that it took. He was a Synod Representative from St George's in White River for many years and went to at least two Synods where the new diocese was debated, prior to the one when it was agreed to multiply the Pretoria Diocese. At that Synod, he attended as a spectator, and Bishop Jo tasked him with raising money for the new diocese. He, with the assistance of Bill Blandon from St George's, set up the Diocese of Mpumalanga Anglican Trust, for which they raised R200 000. Mr Doug Starling was also the chairman of the Elective Assembly that appointed Les Walker as the first bishop of the Diocese. He served on the Finance Board of the Diocese for some years, and is still a Trustee of the Trust, along with Bill Blandon. He was on the Board of Uplands School for many years, and raised a lot of money for the development of new classrooms, labs,
computers etc for the Prep School. Mr Starling also did quite a bit for the Shongwe area near Malelane where he helped Fr Abdullah in maintaining his church and community. He is still very actively involved in the life of the Parish of Mashishing. He is always ready
to give his inputs and advice when requested. His generosity is unparalleled and he regularly utilise his personal resources and finances to help with the smooth running of the Parish without an expectation of acknowledgement or recognition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The well being and progress of the Anglican
Church in Mpumalanga has always been very close to Doug's heart, and he protects it fiercely. Doug is one person I have no doubt is deserving of this honour even though he has repeatedly said he does not deserve it,â&#x20AC;? said Rev Kgosi Hendricks, Rector: Parish of Mashishing.
Mr Doug Starling received The Order of St Joseph The Worker.

Employees at Glencore were ready bright and early on the road near the plant on Friday. A number of road side services, ambulance services and R&P Panel Beaters were involved to offer a road safety campaign to the workers that use the road daily. This part of the road, close to Steelpoort and Burgersfort, is one of the busiest roads in Limpopo and thousands of workers use it to reach their work at mainly mines in the area. They work long hours and it was definitely a big surprise for them to get support from the side of the road.

’n Gebaar van liefde aan Wenakker SOMS byt 'n mens se goeie daad jou in die agterstewe. Dit het die uwe vandeesweek met groot skok besef. En na sewe jaar in die eiendomsbedryf, was dit 'n skuins byt – en 'n splinternuwe les om te leer. Dit het so gebeur: Maande gelede – heel vroeg in die jaar, as ek reg onthou, stap Verkoper Kom-ons-noem-hom-Neels, by my Pam Golding-kantoor in. Hy wil verkoop. Nie haastig nie, maar dit het tyd geword om aan te beweeg na sy aftrede. Ons praat prys. Ek waarsku hom teen “shop soiling” – 'n nie-markverwante prys, honderde borde buite wat jou laat desperaat lyk, 'n verskeidenheid pryse in die mark. Ek verduidelik dat die prys hoofsaaklik deur twee faktore bepaal word – wat in die mark is, en wat in die afgelope jaar in sy area betaal is. Ons skud hand op 'n vennootskap en die pad wat ons saam gaan loop om by die regte prys uit te kom en die verkoopproses glad te laat verloop. Hy sal 'n paar agente van sy keuse nader en met één verkoopprys in die mark uitgaan – en van hier af ophou praat van soveel-in-my-sak-sit- jou-kommissie- by. Ek verduidelik dat tandartse en motorverkopers en die meeste ander sakebedrywighede met 'n markprys werk – soos dit hoort in enige professionele bedryf. En ons gaan akkoord dat ons oor 'n maand weer sal praat. Maand na maand bekyk ons die mark en sy prys. In die proses pas hyself sy prys aan tot realistiese markwaarde. Tot op 'n dag – toe my voorspelling waar word en hy die gatvolstreep bereik. Sy pragtige tuin is aan't verwaarloos en hy het eenvoudig nie meer die tyd of energie vir afstandbeheer nie. Hy waardeer my moeite, gee my 'n alleenmandaat en bring die prys af na onder markwaarde. Ek kontak al my kopers met die goeie nuus. Teen hierdie lae prys, gee ons onsself 'n week om die eiendom te skuif. Adverteer die skouhuis, gaan koop koeksisters en gaan sit op die huis se mooi stoep. Die tweede koper wat instap, kom ons noem hom Klaas, besef dat die huis effe bokant sy beursie se bult is, maar dat hy nie hierdie kans kan laat gaan nie. Hy vra of hy durf waag om onder die prys in te kom. Ek sê, gee m y 'n kans – ek sal oop kaarte speel met die Verkoper. Neels daag na 'n nag en 'n dag se vlieg en ry, in Lydenburg op. Tot laat-aand praat ons. Ek verduidelik dat hy nie die aanbod hoef te aanvaar nie omdat sy prys reeds laag genoeg is – maar dat Klaas 'n koper met 'n stewige deposito is, wat verseker finansiering sal kry. Wat die einde van die verkoop-pad sou beteken. Ons bespreek een of twee kompromieë en Neels teken – met vrede in sy gemoed. Ek verduidelik aan die Koper dat hy die winskoop van die jaar inge-oes het en onderhandel 'n vroeë intrekdatum. Binne twee maande is die proses afgehandel met 'n tevrede Neels en baie gelukkige Klaas – hy het byna halfmiljoen rand onder markwaarde vir sy nuwe huis betaal. Net omdat Neels vrygewig was, dit kon bekostig en die proses vinnig wou afhandel . Intussen wil Klaas se vriende hul netjiese huis verkoop om iets groters aan te skaf. Hul huis word teen billike markwaarde geadverteer. In puik toestand, uitstekend geleë, loopafstand van die skool af. By 'n gekuier van ma's noem ek dat die mooi huis nou te koop is. “Hy's heeltemal te duur!” sê een van die Moeder Mafia – as jy kyk na wat Klaas betaal het. My bek val oop. My weldaad het my kom hap. Hoe gaan ek die boodskap deurkry dat een se winskoop nie 'n vuishou vir die hele dorp se eiendomme kan wees nie. Elke huis, elke koop en verkoop, is 'n nuwe skaakspel en 'n splinternuwe som. Met sy eie plusse en minusse. Koper en verkoper moet bly lewe na die deal. En hierdie Eiendom-Sendeling moet weet dat regverdigheid en relatiewe geluk deel gaan wees van die happily ever after na okkupasie… Gerda Whitehorn
Die Gemeentes van Christus het hierdie jaar hulself oortref met die organisering vir ’n baie spesiale dag vir Wenakker Nasorgsentrum. Verskeie besighede, individue en gemeentelede het bygedra om geskenkpakkies vir Wenakker inwoners in te samel. Dit het bestaan uit ’n tandeborsel, tandepaste, sepie, waslap en ander lekkergoedjies. Die Gemeentes van Christus het voor die uittog na Wenakker ’n spesiale diens vir motorfietsryers gehou. Die ‘bikers’ se aankoms by Wenakker het groot opgewondenheid onder die inwoners verskaf.

Lydenburg Museum vat hande met eienaars van huise ouer as 60 jaar EIENDOMSAGENTE en huiseienaars moet weet van die wetgewing wat geboue ouer as sestig jaar beskerm – anders kan hulle aan die verkeerde kant van die wet beland. Dit was die raad van Lydenburg Museumkurator J.P. Celliers by 'n onlangse vergadering wat deur Nedbank vir plaaslike agente aangebied is. Celliers het by die vergadering gepraat oor die Nasionale
Erfenisbronne-wet 25 van 1999 wat enige veranderings aan geboue ouer as sestig jaar reguleer. Hierdie wet bepaal dat eienaars van sulke eiendomme by die Provinsiale Owerheid vir Erfenisbronne vir 'n permit moet aansoek doen voordat hulle enige veranderinge of die sloping van strukture oorweeg.
ONDERWYSPOS Kwalifikasies: Erkende Onderwys Kwalifikasies soos deur MOD vereis.

JP Celliers, Gerda Olivier, Lynette Smith, Yvonne Lindeque, Shimane Leso
In Lydenburg hanteer JP hierdie aansoeke vanuit sy kantoor by die Museum. Hoe weet 'n mens of jou huis ouer as sestig jaar is? Die meeste ou huise en geboue is in die geskiedkunidge “ou dorp” tussen Breytenbach-, Buhrman-, en Fourie-strate geleë, met Klein Kowynspas as die ander grens. So 'n kaart is by die Museum beskikbaar. Lugfoto's uit die vroeë jare Sestig, ou dorpsplanne, die dorp se oumense en geskiedeniskenners en selfs bank-rekords is ander bronne wat help met die navorsing, het JP verduidelik. Dis belangrik om vrae te vra oor die erfenisstatus van 'n gebou, en voornemende kopers in te lig oor die implikasies van die proses om veranderings wettig aan te bring. Hy het agente aangemoedig om te help met die bewaring van ons dorp se geskiedkundige styl en erfenis en om ook waghonde te wees. Ter illustrasie het hy die foto-verhaal van Briana Davis se geskiedkundige huis onder in Langestraat (langs die huidige Shoprite) vertel. Die huis kon nie gered word nie maar is toe stuk-stuk, met behoorlike dokumentasie, afgebreek en gebruik vir die restourasie van die Kruger-Huis in Waterval-Onder. Nedbank se Areabestuurder, Steven Mudzunga, het agente genooi om die bank by hul aktiwiteite te betrek. Sy kollegas Shimane Leso van die Sekhukune-area en Lynette Smith, Lydenburg takbestuurder, was medegashere.
Die dames van VLU Hibiscus tak in Lydenburg, bedank graag haarkapster, me. Michelle van Heerden en haar assistent, me. Tarryn Weber, van Alter Image Haarsalon in Ohrigstad. Michelle het wêreldwyd ondervinding opgedoen. Sy het die takvoorsitter, me. Elona Potgieter, se hare gesny en stileer. Haarstyle moet by jou gesigsvorm en leefstyl pas en ’n sjampoo met die korrekte pH balans was deel van haar advies. Me. Sharn Tolmay was die wenner van 'n geskenkbewys vir 'n haarsny en kleur by Michelle. Eetgoed is verskaf deur me. Ansie Botes en me. Nora Myburg. Die tak se volgende vergadering is op 13 November om 09:30 by die NG Kerk Suid Lydenburg.
"BIKER born, biker bred. When I die, I’ll be biker dead." Wheels24 reader SCHALK COETZEE shares his advice and experiences for SA road users. "Biker born, Biker bred. When I die, I’ll be biker dead” That’s the creed that all bikers live by and I’ve added to those words my own philosophy: When I wake up in the morning and it is not raining, I put on a helmet and ride (be it for work or play). In order to not dwell on past matters and / or the stigma attached to bikers, I thought I’d share my story. I was not part of a biker fraternity before and actually started riding three years ago. To many this will mean that I am a novice, but I can prove all the skeptics wrong as I have had my fair share of close shaves on the road and still experience this daily. I have some safety advice for road users: Please if you drive a car, don't text or answer phone calls until you have come to a stop at your destination or you’re in a safe place. By calling and / or texting you’re not paying attention to your side mirrors and only look ahead for traffic or policing of the area. This can have a disastrous effect on bikers, whether they’re riding a scooter or sports bike, since passing becomes extremely dangerous as the rider is invisible. Please use your side mirrors and watch your blind spots. I am not an educator (yet) but isn’t this one of the crucial parts of a learners test? All of this doesn’t mean that bikers are innocent: To those bikers that believe the road is a raceway, especially those travelling above the speed limit, slow down! You don’t give yourself, nor other road users enough time to react when you’re travelling above the speed limit. It’s not only illegal but the faster you travel, especially on a bike, the more your peripheral vision is reduced when you’re “dodging” traffic. It doesn’t make sense. Once again, I am not an educator but plead as a fellow road user that we look out for each other. The stigma that bikers face every day is unfair and therefore this is a plea to ensure that like me, all road users can look out for each other. To sum it all up in the smallest nut shell possible - Safe motoring, no matter how many wheels you are turning. Author: SCHALK COETZEE - Wheels24.co.za

WITH the summer holidays around the corner, getting your body in shape is top of mind for many South Africans at the moment. But while you're busy watching your figure, spare a thought for your vehicle and especially your tyres, which need to be kept in shape too. Here are some tyre safety basics to look out for, thanks to Tiger Wheel & Tyre: 1. Take note of your tread We all have a favourite pair of shoes that we wear until the soles have eroded beyond recognition of their former glory. Just like the soles of your shoes, tyres have tread that wears down with driving. The more worn your tyres, the less traction and grip you will have on the road, meaning your braking distance will increase and you are more likely to skid when driving in the rain. In fact, the legal tread depth limit in South Africa is a minimum of 1mm across the entire circumference of the tyre. Not sure whether you are legal, ask a wheel and tyre professional to point out the tread wear indicators on your tyres. 2. Under pressure Wearing shoes that are too tight or too loose can be fashion suicide or just plain unpleasant. The right tyre pressure can also be the difference between life and death. Don't assume the pressure is two bars which a lot of people do when we chant “two please” to the friendly petrol attendant. Each car comes with recommended pressures which you will find in the sill of the driver's door or inside the fuel cap. Rather take the time to check these and make sure the pressure is just right. Over inflated tyres erode quickly at their centre, while under inflated tyres wear on the outsides quicker. Under inflated tyres overheat easily and can cause tyre bursts which is notorious for road fatalities. 3. The other tyre Before you get on your way, also check that you have a spare tyre and that it is inflated to the right pressure, and has the right amount of tread – at least 1mm – for a safe journey. If your car is fitted with run-flat tyres you won't have a spare, see “Run-flats vs Normal” below. 4. Balancing act Staying in your lane is a basic rule, but neglecting the balancing and alignment of your wheels can make you lose your step. If your car is shaking or pulling to one side while driving, you need to get your wheels balanced and aligned. Sometimes it's very subtle so make sure you check your wheel balancing and alignment every 10 000 kms or before every major trip. This not only improves the handling of your car but also extends the tread life of your tyres. The more care you take to look after your tyres, the longer they will last which means you have more money to spend on your summer holiday. These are just some of the basics for keeping your tyres in check and staying safe on the roads. Now, Tiger Wheel & Tyre makes it easy to keep both your car and yourself in shape with a new promotion that offers benefits for both. From now until 9 November, when you buy any four Hankook or Yokohama tyres, size 15” or larger, you'll get a free George Foreman In-Shape Griller. While your new tyres keep your car in shape, the fat-reducing In-Shape griller will help you get in shape too. For more on this and other promotions, visit www.twt.to Know the difference: Nitrogen vs Air Tyres run cooler which means they last longer. Tyres running on nitrogen don't lose pressure as quickly as tyres inflated with air. Inflating your tyres with nitrogen can extend tyre life by up to 20%. Run-flat vs Normal Run-flat tyres are designed to continue driving after the tyre has been punctured so that you don't have to stop at the side of the road and put on a spare. Run flat tyres should not be repaired. Heavy load vs Light load Heavy loads put extra strain on your tyres, so if your car is jam-packed with luggage make sure you adjust the tyre pressure. Tyre failure can occur due to overloading, so check your owner's manual for recommended tyre pressures for “heavy loads” before you pack everything but the kitchen sink. By email
ONS het dié week bietjie by die plaaslike Hyundai agentskap se werkswinkel gaan kuier. Baie lesers wil graag weet wat agter die skerms by die motorhandelaars gebeur en ons sal dit dalk ’n gereelde ding maak, om oor die verskillende handelaars te skryf. Hyundai is nou twee jaar in Lydenburg aan die gang en beskik dus oor ’n ultra moderne, goed toegeruste werkswinkel met genoeg spasie, veilige parkering vir kliënte se voertuie en ’n span vriendelike en goed gekwalifiseerde personeel in die werkswinkel. Handelaarshoof Hein Viljoen is baie trots op die span en noem dat Albert De Wet bv. gekwalifiseer is as ’n Meester Tegnikus. Die werkswinkel kan enige werk op Hyundai voertuie hanteer, sowel as die meeste basiese dienste en herstelwerk op enige ander fabrikaat. Hyundai Lydenburg bied juis nou voor die vakansieseisoen ’n gratis “Safety Check” om te verseker dat jou voertuig reg is vir die groot vakansie uittog in Desember. Hulle sal jou ook kwoteer op ’n basiese smeringsdiens of enige herstelwerk. Elke twintigste kliënt wat sy / haar motor inbring vir die gratis veiligheidstoets, sal ook ’n lekker vakansiepakkie of “holiday hamper” wen, so besoek hulle gerus. Indien u ’n bespreking vir u motor by Hyundai se werkwinkel wil doen, skakel gerus met die Handelaarshoof Hein Viljoen, of met die vriendelike Diensadviseur, Helena Van Vuuren. Hulle is geleë in Viljoenstraat, regoor Supa Quick. Andre Coetzee

FORD’s new Fusion (read Mondeo) is destined for South African shores. The sedan is currently on display at the Johannesburg International Motor Show and will be returning to the South African D segment in the next year under the Fusion nameplate after the Mondeo left us in the early 2000s. According to Ford, the Fusion is characterised by new technologies and premium quality, while high-efficinecy EcoBoost powertrains will be available alongside the Blue Oval’s double-clutch Powershift transmission. It is not clear at this stage specifically which engines we will be receiving, but that will be confirmed closer to the car’s local launch. The stylish sedan shows off the latest evolution of Ford’s kinetic design language and is sure to appeal to many a trendy potential buyer. It has a dynamic appearance to it, no doubt, and Ford promises that it will deliver in this area, offering high levels of both driver enjoyment and occupant comfort. This stance is accentuated by the strong lines and angles that define the Fusion up front, along with the LED DRLs that give the car a premium air. Inside, a high level of quality and sophistication is promised and features such as ambient lighting are sure to add to the premium atmosphere. You can look forward to a top-notch craftsmanship and design, including ‘jewel’ detailing on the switches and vents finished in satin chrome. Safety, of course, is a priority, and the Fusion promises that it will deliver high levels of confidence in this regard. ‘The design, technology and quality advancements delivered with the new Fusion demonstrate the key role this model will play when introduced in South Africa,’ says Jeff Nemeth, president and CEO of Ford Motor Company South Africa. ‘The progress Ford’s engineers have achieved in fuel economy and emissions through the EcoBoost petrol engines will allow customers the opportunity to drive a large car without feeling the need to sacrifice on space, performance, driving enjoyment or the selection of driver assistance technologies,’ he concluded.

anaf 18 tot 20 Oktober is die jaarlikse Oefening Ramkat weer gehou. Die naweek het baie deursettingsvermoë verlang van die junior. Etes moes self in die bos voorberei word en die goeie reën het nuwe uitdagings gebring vir hulle. Skietvermoë was die grootste uitdaging vir die juniors, windgewere en groot gewere het baie konsentrasie en vernuf getoets. Die lanternbekruip en die vlagkompetisie het die spanne laat saamwerk en planne in werking gebring om die kompetisie behoorlik plat te trek. NASP (Boogskiet) het soos gewoonlik deel uitgemaak van die naweek en vir baie juniors was dit die eerste keer gewees wat hulle ’n boog vasgehou het. Die Bosbok Bestuur wil elke junior dankie sê vir die goeie gesindheid wat hulle na die kamp toe gedring het. Dankie aan die seniors wat uitgehelp het en PLM Boerdery vir die gebruik van die Boskampterrein. Dankie aan Corrie Kleyn van die Laramie Spur Lydenburg, die ribbetjies was heerlik, en het goed afgegaan. Dankie ook aan almal wat die naweek gereël het.
