A written consent to erect a telecommunication base station with a mast on
part of Gereformeerde Kerk Nigel,
Noycedale’s property was appointed.
The base station site measures approximately 80m² and will be fenced off
properly with clear view fence to prevent
any unauthorized access to the telecommunication infrastructure.
The station will accommodate a mono-pole
tower, with a height of approximately 36
meters, as well as certain supporting
infrastructure which will be contained in
containers to achieve certain aesthetic and
It will be accessible directly from Ryan
Street to ensure that activities are not
affected by personnel visiting the base
station site. The sites (church and base
station) would, therefore, operate independently from each other from an accessibility perspective.
The 5-meter building line area (northern
boundary) and the 3-meter building line
area (eastern boundary) will need to be
relaxed to 0 meters and therefore it will be
necessary to apply for a relaxation of the
building line. It is mentioned that it willbe a 10-year lease agreement.
It was determined that there is a need for
construction of a tower in the area.
The proposed base station wouldn’t result
in any adverse negative impacts on the
receiving environment or on any of the
surrounding properties, and the position
of the base station on the subject property
has been selected in such a manner as not
to have any negative impacts on the
activities of the private property, and not
to restrict the future development
DA Ward Councilor Wollaston Labuschagne doesn’t necessarily support cell
phone tower applications and is of the
opinion that the electromagnetic radiation
from cell phone masts could be
detrimental to living organisms and may
have a negative effect on humans, fauna,
He supports the proposed legislation that
will force telecommunication companies
to initiate Public Participation Processes.
His main insistence is that the planned
construction should be advertised
properly in local newspapers and enough
time allowed for the public to object.Get AHEAD of the competition

deur Phillip & Betsie van Rhyn.
Tyd gaan so vining verby dat mens kwalik
kan glo dat dit alreeds 2017 is.
Moontlik is daar nog onvoltooide take van
die vorige jaar. Moontlik nog onbereikte
Maar 2016 is verby en is iets van die
verlede, en al kos dit ook wat, ons kan die
tyd nie terugdraai nie.
Iemand het eenmaal gesê dat daar nie iets
soos tweedehandse tyd is nie. Tyd is uniek
en eenmalig en dan is dit verby. Ook maar
goed anders sou ons knaend die tyd wou
terugdraai en dan sou ons nooit by die
toekoms uitgekom het nie.
Die wyse Salomo het die volgende te sê:
’Alles wat jou hand vind om te doen, doen
dit met jou mag, want daar is geen werk of
oorleg of kennis of wysheid in die
doderyk waar jy heengaan nie’.
Elke nuwe dag van 2017 bied sy pakket
vol uitdagings en moontlikhede vir ons
Ons kan dit met agterdog bejeen of met
die spreekwoordelike rykhalsing aangryp,
afhangende van ons ingesteldheid.
Dis egter gerusstellend en vertroostend om
te weet dat ons hierdie nuwe tydvak nie
alleen hoef aan te pak nie.
Ons moet maar net ons kortsigtigheid en
die gebrek aan kennis met betrekking tot
die toekoms erken en sinvolle leiding en
Die getal ’17’ in 2017 verteenwoordig
Reeds dít moet vir ons nuwe moed gee vir
hierdie nuwe jaar wat voorlê. Ons sál
Fisies, polities en maatskaplik-ekonomieslyk die toekoms alles behalwe rooskleurig
en word die vrae al meer en die antwoorde
Armoede en verbrokkeling is aan die orde
Werkloosheid en agteruitgang van die
gemeenskap en sy norms is algemeen.
Ons het al daaraan gewoond geraak en leef
daagliks saam met een of ander faset
Maar 2017 het die kragtige element van
oorwinning daarin opgesluit.
As ware gelowige volk met ‘n ryk geskiedenis van deursettingsvermoë en durf om
elke teëstand met sukses die hoof te bied,
sal ons saam besluit dat hierdie nuwe jaar
talle nuwe geleenthede bied en dat ons dit
met oop arms en nugter gemoed tegemoet
Ons gaan ‘n sukses van 2017 maak.
Ons gaan sterker anderkant uitkom as toe
ons begin het. Niks sal ons fokus verdof
of afwater nie. Ons visie is helder en
Saam, en hand aan hand gaan ons 2017
tegemoet en sal ons die doel bereik.
Koning Dawid, die dapper krygsman en
liedereskrywer roep ons op tot geloof in
Ps 46:12 en 7 waar hy sê: ’God is vir ons
‘n toevlug en sterkte; as hulp in
benoudhede is Hy in hoë mate beproef.
Daarom sal ons nie vrees nie, al waggel
die aarde en al wankel die berge weg in
die hart van die see. Die HERE van die
leërskare is met ons; die God van Jakob is
‘n rotsvesting vir ons’.

All financial services intermediaries, including short-term insurance brokers must
be licensed with the Financial Services Board [FSB] in terms of the Financial
Advisory and Intermediary Services Act [FAIS] of 2002. Licensing depends to a
large degree on the proven experience, knowledge and competency of the broker
and supervision over their representatives.
The FAIS Act contains “best practices” for brokers in their service delivery to
their customers that they must adhere to and is strictly enforced. It further provides
for a complaints resolution mechanism should a customer raise a complaint.
Many brokers further belong to industry bodies and institutes that greatly
contribute to the broker‘s continued development.
All good brokers are committed to a fiduciary duty toward their customers and to
facilitate the best placement of their insurance needs and objectives.
In every person’s life there are two aspects on which decisions need to be taken,
Most people plan the creation of wealth with care and diligence but it is amazing
to what extent the protection of their assets is often handled haphazardly.
Any insurance but especially short-term insurance, is arguably the most effective
way to protect one‘s liabilities.
Insurance should never be taken lightly!
It is important that one takes responsibility and be actively involved in managing
one‘s insurance portfolio. This is made much easier by building a relationship

H Squared Timbers and Sawmilling
situated in Nigel has long been a force
to reckon with. Due to growing demand,
they recently relocated to a larger plant
in 36 Industria Drive, Vorsterskroon.
Established in 2013, they process highquality timber logs from sustainable
forestry resources and supply the
construction, mining, domestic and
general industries throughout South
I recently visited the new plant and was
impressed with the range of wood and
services they offer as they use unique
cutting technology where the sizes are
endless and no job is the same.
What makes H Squared Timbers unique
and different to other sawmills in the
industry are the fact that they specialize
in custom cuts and not just standardized

Suksesvolle gewigsverlies verg susksesvolle leefstylverandering.
Die plan wat jy volg om gewig te verloor
moet dieselfde plan wees wat jy volg om
die gewig konstant te hou.
Daar is geen “one size fits all” oefen- of
gewigsverlies programme nie. Sommige
mense kan op hulle eie gewig verloor,
ander verkies ‘n groepsbyeenkoms en
ander het meer ondersteuning nodig.
Gewigsverlies laat klere beter pas maar
oefening dra by tot ‘n goedgevormde lyf.
Jou liggaam is jou kunswerk wat jy met
oefening kan vorm soos jy dit graag wil
‘n Fisiese transformasie bestaan uit meer
as net ‘n “before” en “after” foto. Daar
moet verandering van liggaam, gees, leefstyl en gesindheid wees.
Mense wat baie keer van kitsdiëte gebruik
gemaak het, verloor later vertroue in
hulself, omdat hulle glo hulle kan nie hulle
gewig stabiel hou nie.
Negatiewe denke laat mens ‘n stryd verloor
voor jy nog begin het. Vind ‘n middeweg
tussen jou sosiale lewe en doelgewig
sonder om op te hou lewe.
Mense vermors kosbare jare weens ‘n
wipplank stryd met die skaal. Laat genoeg
tyd toe om gewig teen ‘n gesonde tempo
van 500g tot 1 kg ‘n week te verloor, enmaak klein volhoubare leefstylveranderinge.
Lewensafrigting is ‘n proses waar jy jou
ware potensiaal ontdek deur negatiewe
optrede- en denkpatrone in ‘n ondersteunende omgewing elimineer.
‘n Lewensafrigter is jou metgesel om jou
doelwitte te behaal, jou afrigter wat jou
help om hulpmiddels en informasie te
bekom, jou klankbord wanneer jy keuses
moet maak, jou motivering as “strong
action” nodig is, onvoorwaardelike
ondersteuning as jy ‘n laagtepunt bereik,
jou mentor in persoonlike ontwikkeling,
jou mede-ontwikkelaar van jou fiksheidsen gesondheids doelwitte.
‘n Ligpunt in moeilike tye, ‘n “wake-up
call” wanneer jy verslap maar meeste van
alles is ‘n lewensaftiger jou metgesel wat
jou help om sukses te behaal.
‘n Normale lewensafrigting siklus strek
oor ses maande met ‘n sessie elke twee
weke, eerste lewensafrigting sessie is
Mense voel baie keer oorweldig omdat
daar probleme in verskeie lewensareas
soos bv. gesondheid, verhoudingsmaat ens
is. ‘n Lewensafrigter help so ‘n persoon
om ‘n doelwit of doelwitte vas te stel, wat
gewoonlik ook die ander lewensareas
beïnvloed.Persoonlike f iksheidsinstrukteurs werk
met enkel persone (een tot een afrigting),
“buddy training” (2 persone) of groepe.
Enkel persone ontvang meer gespesialiseerde aandag.
Oefenprogramme word uitgewerk volgens
behoeftes, fiksheidsvlak asook identifisering van struikelblokke.
‘n Persoonlike f iksheidsafrigter werk
oefenprogramme uit volgens jou doelwit
en verander dit wanneer nodig.
Wat is die voordele van ‘n “Corporate
Lifestyle Challenge”? Corporate Lifestyle
Challenge bind werknemers saam in ‘n
spanbou aksie oor ‘n periode van 12 weke,
en in die proses kry werknemers die
geleentheid om meer gesond te leef met
die kennis wat beskikbaar gestel word.
Enige firma, klein of groot, kan dit doen
en enige werknemers kan deelneem hetsy
fiks of oorgewig.
Winitha Strydom skryf oor haar gewigsverlies ervaring van die afgelope paar
“In Maart 2016 sien ek ‘n foto van myself,
waar ons piekniek gehou het in Suikerbosrand, en ek besef dat ek drasties iets aan
my gewig sal moet doen. Ek staan op ‘n
magtige 107.5 kg, elke aksie en beweging
is moeite en ek voel lusteloos en wil niks
aktiefs doen nie. April maand gaan sien ek
vir Mariana Müller en ons gaan oor tot
aksie. Sy verduidelik vir my hoe Weight
Watchers werk, ‘n eetprogram waar jy nog
steeds basies alles kan eet waarvoor jy lusis, maar dat alles op ‘n puntestelsel werk.
Natuurlik moet ek ook ‘n goeie oefenprogram volg, wat gelei het tot vele dae
van hard sweet, seer spiere… ek bedoel
SEER spiere maar ook darem dae vol lag
Die eetprogram het baie goed vir my
gewerk, die oefening en gym het met tyd
op my gegroei en soos wat die kilos begin
afval het, het dit net beter en beter gegaan.
Vandag, begin Desember, en 33.5kg later,
3kg ligter as my trou gewig 16 jaar gelede,
is my lewenslus terug, ek sien kans vir
enigiets, selfs ‘n fietry sessie saam met my
man en seuns, ek kan selfs nou vir hulle
wegry. Die oefening gaan voort en die
eetprogram is nou ‘n deel van my daaglikse leefstyl, ek hoop om nog so ‘n paar
kilos te verloor. Ek wil net vir Mariana
bedank vir al haar hulp en ondersteuning
en ook vir die Weight Watchers groep. Ek
nooi enige persoon uit om te kyk na die
program, dit het vir my gewerk.”
Wat is suksesvolle gewigsverlies? Winitha
het goeie resultate gekry sedert April 2016
want sy pas porsiebeheer toe en oefen
gereeld op ‘n vasgestelde tyd. Toewyding
en deursettingsvermoë is van groot belang.
Die geheim van suksesvolle gewigsverlies
lê daarin om te besef dat niemand volmaak
is nie, min mense bereik ‘n doelwit sonder
om ‘n fout te maak. Indien jy wel ‘n fout
maak, aanvaar dit so en werk daaraan om
jou innerlike “GPS” dadelik weer op koers

Enjoying a day out by the pool and open water sources is
standard during the warmer days. If you want to enjoy
swimming to the fullest, one need to know the basic safety tips.
Several lives have been lost already and near drowning incidents
reported as a result of water related accidents in different areas
across the City if Ekurhuleni and abroad. Most of the people
affected are young male children.
Having a swimming pool on your premises, you need to be extra
caution and vigilant to ensure everyone‘s safety. These basic
swimming pool safety tips will help to keep your family and
community in your neighbourhood safe from potential injury or
death. Gate and Fencing around the swimming pool is a necessity.
Most of the people shy away from having a gated and fenced off
swimming pool because it is not aesthetically pleasing. This will
keep small children away from the pool more over when running
A pool cover in conjunction with the gate and fencing around
the pool will add to the safety of lives. A pool cover will assist
with prevention of someone falling into the swimming pool.
Never let your child or anyone else to swim alone in the pool.
Having two people in the pool at the same time will provide added
safety measures. Safety Inflatable rubber or plastic devices
should be readily available and easily accessed to be thrown out
to aid the victim in trouble.Lack of space - farewell dreams!
Every year in January, the media reports
extensively on the desperate situation in which
thousands of matriculants find themselves – that of
having qualified for entry into a degree programme,
yet not being able to enrol at a public university due
The situation is unlikely to change any time soon, and
universities will, for the foreseeable future, continue
to accept only a fraction of applications.
“However, that does not mean affected matriculants
have to give up on the dreams they had for their
futures, and settle for a different line of work
completely” an education expert says.
“There are many thousands of learners with
exceptional results who did not land a space at a public
university,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Director of The
Independent Institute of Education, SA’s largest
“Telling such a person, who has qualified for degree
entry but not gained access to the public sector that
they should consider a Technical and Vocational
Training college, is a very confusing message and
does not reflect all the options available which may
in fact still make degree study possible.”
“While it is also true that our current societal
messaging tells young people that degrees are the only
aspiration of any value - which undermines the
required growth in status of the TVET sector – the
needs and ability of the individual must be taken into
consideration, and there can’t simply be a blanket rerouting to technical training.”
“Not gaining access does not mean a prospective
student would not have excelled in a university type
environment. Students who would have gained access,
just a handful of years ago, on the same performance,
now are not able to do so because of high demand and
Coughlan says the advice currently being provided
to these young people ignores the fact that their degree
dreams can still become reality at the close to 120registered private higher education institutions across
the country – institutions which are subject to the
same oversight as public universities, and whose
qualifications are highly respected in the workplace.
“Many of these higher education institutions, which
by law may not call themselves private universities,
offer high quality degrees and are accessible to
students who did not get into the public sector
“Furthermore, prospective students are increasingly
opting for private higher education by choice –
because of throughput rates and small class sizes
among other factors – so the perception that one only
goes the private route if one’s results were not good
enough to secure a space at a public university no
Coughlan points out that at credible private higher
education institutions, one can study anything from
professional accounting to business management,
communication and law to education and computer
science, as well as several exciting niche
qualifications such as branding or game development
“For almost two decades now SA has had a unitary
quality assurance system for the accreditation of
higher education institutions in both the public and
This continues, even though private higher education
institutions produce thousands of top graduates every
year, and even though they are able to confer degrees
and qualifications all the way to doctoral level.”
Coughlan says that although quality at private higher
education institutions varies just as it does between
“If a degree is what someone wants, provided it is for
the right reasons and not simply to ‘get a degree’, then
the fact that the public sector institutions are full, need
not and simply should not be seen as the end of the
University is not the only option.Learners must be placed on day one
Gauteng Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi must
prioritize all learners who applied to be placed in
schools the previous year to ensure they start
learning from day one.
It is of great concern that there are still many learners
who are yet to be placed, despite applying on time.
The MEC should provide more resources to schools
with high demand. These include more classrooms,
teachers and learner materials.Parents are put in a difficult financial position when
their children are not placed, as they cannot budget
for uniforms, school fees and other materials
The online registration process should be used to
plan and manage placements with necessary
resources. All learners deserve to be at school from
day one with learning and teaching taking place.TEL: 016 341 2187/8HEIDELBERG, 23 Schoeman Str.PAGE 10NIGEL/HEIDELBERG REKORD - ONLINE EDITION www.rekord.org.zaBUILDERS/BUILDING
