Volgens Bonakele Diniso (47) wat
by Rainbow Civils werk, het hy om-
streeks 09:30 in die verbygaan n
knuppelopdiebrugsien lengestop
om dit op te tel.
Dinisohetdietouwataandiebrug
vasgemaakwas gesien en bynadere
ondersoek het hy die liggaam daar
sien hang.
Die polisie en Gordonsbaai Seku-
riteit se ambulansdienste was gou
op die toneel. Metro Nooddienste is
later ontbied om die lyk teen die
rotsagtige helling na bo te bring.
Volgens Gordonsbaai-polisie-
woordvoerder AO Nico Beukes, is
die man na raming in sy laat veer-
tigs en was hy geklee in n swart de-
nimbroek, swart renbaadjie en
swart tekkies.
Beukes het ges werkers van die
Kaapse Natuurbewaring het die
Colt-bakkie wat vermoedelik aan
die oorledene behoort het, reeds
teen 06:00 n entjie van die toneel in
die rigting van Rooiels sien staan.
In n ander voorval is die polisie
ook op soekna inligtingwatmet hul
ondersoek kan help na n lyk van n
vrou wat Maandagoggend om-
streeks 07:30 op n oop stuk grond
in Gordonsbaai gevind is.
Volgens Beukes het n man wat
met sy honde gestap het, op die lyk
van n vrou afgekom.
Beukes s die stapper het onder-
soek ingestel toe die vier honde in
n afgele gebied in Kirstenstraat
stil gaan staan het en onophoudelik
begin blaf het.
Die man het die lyk van n half-
naakte vrou wat met haar gesig in
die grond gel het, ontdek.
Volgens Beukes het die lyk nie te-
kens van ontbinding getoon nie, en

GeliefdevoormaligeHHH
onderwyseroorlede
Die geliefde voormalige onder-
wyser by Horskool Hottentots-
Holland, Bossie Bosman, is op
Sondag 11 Augustus n n lang
stryd teen kanker oorlede. Hy
was 66 jaar oud.
HHH se personeellede Denise
Greyvenstein enSunette Fourie het
die volgende oor Bossie geskryf:
Baie leerders sal kon getuig oor
die liefde vir en kennis van geogra-
fie wat hy by hulle ingeskerp het
Halley se Komeet!
Bossie het aan die einde van Ju-
lie 2003 uitgetree en het n goue me-
dalje vir diens aan die Horskool
Hottentots-Holland gekry.
Hy was vir jare lank die organi-
seerder van landloop en tydens die
atletiekbyeenkomste was Bossie se
kennis van onskatbare waarde.
Onder sy bekwame leiding het
verskeie landloopatlete provinsiale
kleure verwerf.
Syoogvirdetaileningesteldheid
op administrasie het vir puik orga-
nisasie gesorg. Hy het graag statis-
tieke saamgestel veral van atle-
tiek, wat sy passie was.
NadatBossiereedsuitgetreehet,
het hy weer teruggekeer om die or-
ganisasie van die matriekeksamen
aan die einde van die jaar vir etlike
jare te hanteer.
Geengunswasteveelmoeitenie.
As vriend was sy lojaliteit, empatie
en liefde onbeperk.
Ons sal hom onthou vir sy hu-
morsin, staaltjies en intelligensie.
Hercules de Vos het die volgende
oor Bossie geskryf.

weldige en wye algemene kennis.
Hy kon letterlik oor enigiets sinvol

Wat betref sy kennis van en lief-

baan tot op n sentimeter uitgemeet
en aantekeninge en formules uitge-
werk oor hoe om die baan presies
en akkuraat uit te merk.
Hy was georganiseerd met ma-

netjiese opsomming gekry en jy het
presies geweet wat van jou verwag
word.

hoe om dit prakties en nuttig aan te
wend, alles het hy homself geleer.

Hy kon atlete, hul prestasies, re-

LikeaKung fumovie star,he
chased after the assailant,
leapt through the air and
landed on top of him.
This act of bravery was per-
formed last Thursday by Mas-
ter Suliman Sampson (53), a
well-known Kung fu master in
theStrand, inanattempttostop
a thief who had just stolen a
womans handbag.
Sampson recalls that he had
just completedhis training that
morning at around 11:00. He
was unpacking his weaponry
whenheheard awoman cry for
help outside.
I looked out of the window
and saw a guy running down
Van Ryneveld Street in the di-
rection of the parking area.
The woman was shouting
hestolemypurseandafewcar
guardsattendingto theparking
area tried to bring him to a
halt, explains Sampson.
The robber turned around
and ran back towards Samp-
sons Kung Fu and Tai Chi
School in Michau Street.
Hewasrunningvery fast, but
just after turning thecorner,he
met his match.
I dived on top of him andwe
landed on the pavement. I
grabbed him around the neck
and put him in a neck hold, but
hewasquiteresistant,remem-
bersSampson,whoaddsthathe
had to dish out a few punches
to subdue the criminal.
Employees at a nearby law-
yers firm saw what was hap-
pening and phoned the police.
Sampsons wife came run-
ning from his martial arts
school, carrying nunchucku,
which he used to restrain the
robber until the police arrived
a few minutes later.
One of the bystanders hand-
ed the woman her purse. Em-
ployees of the lawyers firm
were very sympathetic and
gave thevictimsugarwater for
the shock.
She was stunned by what
had happened and couldnt re-
ally speak,but shewasgrateful
that we had assisted her, said
one.
According to Sampson, the
womanbelieves the robber fol-
lowed her from Clicks, which
is situated lower down the
street.
When she noticed him, she
attempted to walk faster. As
she turned the corner on her
way to the parking area, he
grabbed her handbag and
made a run for it.
Sampson has been doing
Kung fu for the past 38 years.
When asked why he inter-
vened, he explained that he
was bullied at a young age and
does not tolerate crime.
He added that the area has
become crime-ridden and that
prostitutes and drug dealers
are an everyday sight.
Its easy for the skollies to
seewho they can prey upon, so
people should be more aware
of whats going on around
them.
Master Suliman Sampson demonstrates the neck hold that proved the
robbers undoing.

Residential developmenton GB
mountainside successfullyopposed
TheGordonsBayResidentsAsso-
ciation (GBRA) succeeded on 13
August in overturningwith costs,
the authorisation for the pro-
posed Suikerbossie Estate above
Gordons Bay.
This victory comes after six years
of public participation and four
years of litigation, the spokesperson
for theGordonsBayResidentsAsso-
ciation (GBRA) Rowan Dent said.
He added that this was not only a
victory for the environment but also
for the community.
This is the third time the GBRA
havehad to oppose anapplication for
development on the mountainside,
and they are determined to preserve
the natural heritage.
The Gordons Bay residents
raised funds to finance a High Court
action with the Save OurMountain
Campaign, said Dent.
The DistrictMail previously re-
ported that the development was for
80 houses on 600 m on the thin strip
of landknownasSuikerbossieEstate
onthemountainslopesabove the last
row of residential erven on the sea-
facing side of Gordons Bay. A sub-
stantial portion of the development
would have taken place on steep
slopes.
The tussle between the ratepayers
and the developer - Gordonia Mount
Properties -hasbeenragingsince the
first attempts to launch the construc-
tion in the late 1980s.
Dent explained that to start devel-
oping the developer required: (a) en-
vironmental authorisation from the
provincial environmental authori-
ties in terms of the then applicable
Environment Conservation Act
(ECA); and (b) land-useplanningper-
mission from the municipality in
terms of the Cape LandUse Planning
Ordinance (LUPO).
He said that litigation ensued
when the former MEC for local gov-
ernment, environmental affairs and
development planning, Pierre Uys,
inexplicably granted environmental
authorisation in February 2009 and
upheld an administrative appeal by
thedeveloper inMay2009. Thiseffec-
tively granted planning approval to
rezone the development area and
subdivide it into80residentialerven.
TheGBRAapproached the court to
have both decisions set aside as they
believed they were not rationally
based on the information before the
then minister Uys.
InNovember 2009, the City of Cape
Townbrought a separate application
to have the planning approval set
aside and since both the GBRA and
the Citys application sought the
same relief, thematterswere eventu-
ally consolidated. Shortly before the
date of the hearing, the incumbent
minister filed an affidavit conceding
that section 44 of LUPO (the appeal
section) was unconstitutional in his
legal advisors opinions.
On 13 August this year, the battle
was won when Judge Denis Davis
confirmed an order which was
reached by agreement between the
parties that section 44 of LUPO was
unconstitutional, and set aside the
planning approval.
In this regardwe are also grateful
to other donors who contributed
through the Centre for Environmen-
tal Rights and we thank our legal
team, Cullinan & Associates, Advo-
cate van derHorst andAdvocate Pot-
gieter SC,whoacted in support of the
environment ahead of their own fi-
nancial gain, Dent said.

JAMEY THOMAS
N byna vier dekades in die onderwys is
SoniaLeibrandt(63)vanSirLowrysPass
net so passievol oor haar roeping as
mamma van vele, soos toe sy die le-
wensbesluit geneem het om n opvoeder
te word.
Vir Leibrandt, wat tans die pos as waarne-
mende skoolhoof by Danie Ackermann Pri-
mr in Somerset-Wes volstaan en bekend is
vir haar betrokkenheid in die gemeenskap,
was n loopbaan in die onderwys n voor die
hand liggendekeuse.Sysvandat sykanont-
hou, was dt haar lewensdroom.
Dit is bevredigend om deur n positiewe
benadering n positiewe verskil in kinders
se lewens te kan maak, en so ook vir hulle
n vastrapplekkie aan te bied om iets in die
lewe te bekom, meen Leibrandt, wat glo
vroue het daardie spesiale eienskap om ver-
troue en hoop by ander in te boesem en hulle
n visie te gee.
Leibrandt het in Somerset-Wes grootge-
word, en op Vergelegen haar laerskoolloop-
baan begin. Sy het gr. 6 en 7 as n leerling
van die Somerset-Wes Metodiste Primre
Skool voltooi. Met groot verlange na die
goeie oudae, onthou syhoeboomklimgroot
pretwas, boomgom nheerlike lekkernywas
en hulle vars vrugte geet het dat die sap by
hul arms afloop.
Leibrandtonthouhaarhorskoolloopbaan
by Horskool Gordon as die prettigste deel
van haar lewe, waar sy telkens geskater het
van die lag en as jongmeisie daarvan gehou
het wanneer krels in haar rigting kyk.
Moenie uitvra oor die akademie nie, het
sy vinnig al vingerswaaiend ges.
Ngr. 10het sybyBattswoodTrainingCol-
lege enBellvilleOpleidingKollege onderwys
gestudeer. In 1968, op 17-jarige leeftyd, het sy
as gr. 1-onderwyseres van 42 leerlinge by
haar alma mater, Somerset-Wes Methodiste
Primre Skool begin skoolhou. Dit was die
moeilikste jaar van haar hele onderwysloop-
baan.
Hardewerk het egter goeie vrugte gelewer
en sy het sedertdien drie merietesertifikate
ontvang.
Leibrandt is op21-jarige leeftydasdeparte-
mentshoof aangestel. In 1996 is sy tot skool-
hoofbevorder.Toesydie leiselsoorneemwas
dit dieselfde jaar wat die skool hul aanbou-
projek aangepak het.
Volgens Leibrandt was daar nie geld vir
die aanbouings nie, die kurrikulum het ver-
ander, bevorderingsposte was ter sprake, en
besighede wou hulle nie finansieel onder-
steun om hul projek te voltooi nie.
DiepersoneelhetCoke-bottels ingegee so-
dat ons die bouerskonbetaal en leerlingehet
bakstene afgewas en skool toe gebring om
met die aanbouings te help. Selfs n konsert
is gehouomfondse in te samel endievloerbe-
dekking te betaal. Dit was n geloofsaak.
Maar toe hoor oorlede Wilfred Baard ty-
dens n treinrit dat die All Blacks in Somer-
set-Wes besoek sou afl.
Baard het voorgestel dat hulle die rugby-
sterre met die Haka welkom heet. Volgens
Leibrandt het sy di geleentheid raakgesien
en ingestem. Die o. 10-rugbyspan het toemet
n dawerendeweergawe van dieHaka dieAll
Blacksbydie lughaweverwelkom, en is deur
plaaslike sowel as Nieu-Seelandse media af-
geneem. Danksy n huisvrou van Nieu-See-
land wat di besondere verwelkoming in die
media gesien het, is relings getref vir die
rugbyspan om na hul land te toer sodat ook
hulle n warme verwelkoming kon ervaar.
Hulnuutgevonde roemhetplaaslikebesig-
hede en die gemeenskap geinspireer om on-
dersteuning te verleen en die toer te reali-
seer, en selfs die Independent Development
Trust (IDT) het aan boord gekomomdie aan-
bouings te voltooi.
Leibrandt ag dit as n bewys dat niemand
te eenvoudig is om groot hoogtes te bereik
nie.
In 2005 het sy die moeilike besluit geneem
om n 38 jaar uit die onderwys te tree omdat
sy reeds van n vroe ouderdom begin werk
het. In Januarie 2006 het sy egter by die Imi-
bala Trust aangesluit, waar sy met verskeie
Helderberg skole gewerk het. Sy het ook in
2007 vir sesmaande as skoolhoof vanTempe-
rance Town Primr waargeneem en in No-
vember 2012 by Danie Ackermann Primr
aangesluit. Leibrandt sal,wanneer nperma-
nente skoolhoof byDanieAckermannaange-
stel is, weer na Imibala terugkeer.
Volgens Leibrandt is en bly sy bowenal n
onderwyser. Daar is geen groter beloning
as wanneer jy kinders wat nie eers hul neu-
sies kan snuit, n potlood kan vashou of lees
nie, opvoed en sien dat hulle dit op die ou
einde self kan doen. As ek weer n beroep
moet kies, sal dit beslis onderwys wees.
Sonia Leibrandt (63) het n dekades in die
onderwys steeds n passie vir dit wat sy
doen. FOTO: JAMEY THOMAS

Hoeveilig is sekuriteit bySomersetMall?
Op Woensdag 14 Augustus om en
by 15:00 en 16:30 was my seun se
motor agter in Pick n Pay recei-
ving-parkering gesteel.
By navrae by die sekuriteitaf-
deling is my seun meegedeel dat
die kamerastelsel buitewerking
was, en dat hy die volgende dag
moet terugkom.Die volgende dag
is die video aan my seun gespeel
wat nie veel nut vir homwas nie.
Al wat hy kon sien was hoe hy
daar kom parkeer het, maar niks
hoe en wie sy motor gesteel het
nie.Volgenshomwasdie opname
van so n slegte gehalte en het op-
gebreek dat jy niks kon uitmaak
nie.
My vraag aan Somerset Mall-
sekuriteit is hoe kan julle kame-
rastelsel van so n slegte gehalte
wees, en hoekom is daar nie n
wag voltyds in die area nie as die
kamera buitewerking is nie.
Hoeveelmotorsmoetnogbydie
Mall gesteel word as julle kame-
rastelsel van so n swak gehalte
is?Myandervraag is,hoekomhet
die sekuriteit by die Mall nie aan
hom voorgestel om die polisie te
skakel nie?
Dit laat my wonder hoe Somer-
setMall se sekuriteitmet die poli-
sie saamwerkmet gebeure by die
Mall. By Somerset Mall is daar
baie in- en uitgaanroetes.
Hoeveel kameras is daar gen-
stalleer en kan hulle regtig niks
optel nie? Wat sal gebeur as daar
n lewensverlies plaasvind as
niks op kamera opgeneem is nie.
My voorstel aan Somerset
Mall- sekuriteit is om hul kame-
rastelsel te alle tye in n goeie
werkende toestand te kry voor-
dat daar nog ander groter verlie-
se is. Laastens aan Pick n Pay-
personel, baie dankie vir julle
flinke hulpvaardigheid.
JOHN FEBRUARIE
Die kamerastelsel by Somerset
Mall is die beste kwaliteitwat tans
beskikbaar is. Ons het ho-defini-
sie kameras wat alle beweegpunte
in die sentrum kan opneem.
Op die betrokke dag was ons be-
sig om die stelsel te diens wat tot
gevolg gehad het dat sekere tye nie
opgeneem was nie. Ongelukkig
was die gevolg daarvan dat ons
nie kon sien hoe die voertuig ons
perseel verlaat nie.
Die redewaaromonsnie n seku-
riteitswag in die onmiddellike om-
gewing gehad het nie, was omdat
die voertuig binne in Pick n Pay
se afleweringsgebied geparkeer
was. Die aantyging dat ons hom
nie aangeraai het om die polisie
te skakel nie, is vals.
Ons het self die polisie geskakel
omdie voertuigbesonderhededeur
te gee sodat hulle op die uitkyk
moetweesdaarvoor, asookmenige
kere aangebied om mnr. Februa-
rie se seun te help om self n saak
nommer te kry. Hy het ons egter
meegedeel dat sy pa reeds by die
polisie is en ons hulle nie hoef te
skakel nie. Ons is baie trots op die
CCTV stelsel by Somerset Mall en
het deur die skitterende beeld al
baie sukses behaal.

Uitmuntendediensvir n kleinwerkie nieduisende rande
Ek het onlangs, n uitsonderlike
ondervinding gehad, wat ek graag
metalDistrikPos se leserswildeel.
Ons is so gewoond aan swak en
selfs trae diens, dat ek graag vir
Galactic Kitchens & Cupboards in
Gants Centre wil gelukwens en
bedank vir hulle uitnemende
diens.
Alle firmas neem graag werk
aan, van duisende rande, maar
wanneer n klint n klein werkie
wil laat doen, is niemand gewoon-
lik genteresseerd nie. My inge-
boude dubbeloondkas het na baie
jare se gebruik byna deurgebrand
aan die onderkant, a.g.v. te min
ventilasie.
Op n Vrydagmiddag, n ons die
ontdekking gemaak het, het ek na
Galactic se perseel gery en my lot
daar beklae aan mnr. Gerrie van
Dyk. Hy was dadelik bereid om te
help deur saam met my huis toe
te ry en na die probleem te kom
kyk. N n paar afmetings wou hy
weet of ons die volgende dag, wat
Saterdag was, tuis sou wees.
Groot was ons verbasing toe
twee baie netjiese, goed opgeleide
skrynwerkers, wel die volgende
oggend opdaag om die kas te kom
herstel. Binne 40 minute het hulle
die taak voltooi, netjies opgeruim
en vriendelik gegroet!
Ons opregte dank en gelukwen-
se aanMnr JohanLangenegger en
sy span vir uitmuntende diens.

Bealert
andhelp
fight crime
The escalation of crime in the Hel-
derberg is a cause for serious con-
cern.
Not even the icy cold, wet winter
weather seems to deter the crimi-
nals.
The criminals are also becoming
more and more brazen and armed
robberies duringworking hours are
becoming all too frequent.
House-breaking in Somerset
West, Strand and Gordons Bay as
well as theft frommotor vehicles are
also all on the increase.
All of these crimes are occurring
despite security companies and the
South African Police Services in-
creasing their personnel, vehicles
and forming specialised units such
as dog squads and rapid response
teams.
Someof thesecrimesmayhavead-
mittedly occurred because people
were simply not vigilant enough, or
did not have adequate security or
alarms on their properties, houses
and in their vehicles.
However, crimes have also been
reported where residents had
alarms, security sensor beams,
lights, fences, etc. andstill theywere
robbed.
What arewe supposed to do to pro-
tect ourselves, our families, homes,
and hard-earned possessions from
being taken away from us?
The SAPS and the various securi-
tycompaniesaroundtheHelderberg
have repeatedly urged residents not
to despair, but to help them fight
crime.
They all stress that the best form
of crime prevention is the immedi-
ate reporting of all suspicious-look-
ing people, vehicles or activities in
your neighbourhood.
Interschoolsphotos
The annual test of strength in the form
of the winter interschools between Hot-
tentots-HollandHigh School and Strand
High School took place this past week-
end.
The participants in various sport
codes were captured on camera, thrash-
ing it out during the respective competi-
tive matches.

Agreewithmessage inMarkWilliams column
I enjoy reading Mark Williams
column in the DistrictMail every
week, especially the one of 1 Au-
gust.
I agree with the message of the
column and I dont want to spoil
a good storywith facts, but the last
bit aboutMarks fathers house de-
serves comment.
He mentions the price of his
dads house and if he had invested
R10 000, etc. In 1979 I bought a new
Mercedes Benz 280S for R14 000, as
this was the cheapest of the Smod-
els. Todays cheapest S model cost
more than a million.
This shows what R10 000 was
worthwhenMarksdadboughthis
house.
I agreewith his argument about
the investment value of property,
but readers are going to see R10
000 and R122 million in todays
money instead of R1 million and
R122 million.
This shows again that if one has
money to invest let the experts like
Mark do it.

Heartfelt thanks toall at CountryAnimalClinic for loving care
This is just a heartfelt thanks to all
the staff and doctors at Country Ani-
mal Clinic for their excellent service
and concern for my cat, Chai, who
was hit by a car about a month ago.
A pin was implanted in a badly
smashed leg and secured with wire.
X-rays were shown to explain what
was done to secure his leg. He was to
stay in a cage for six weeks to heal.
After four weeks, he started experi-
encing excruciating pain and we
were frantic with worry. The vet im-
mediately put him on morphine to
treat thepain.Wewereallowedtovis-
it over theweekend.Theconcernwas
that he could lose a leg.
On Sunday Iwas phoned by the vet
who explained the procedure that
wouldtakeplacethenextday.Shedid
notwant to just amputate the leg, but
wanted to try and save it. It seemed
that the pin had migrated with the
cats movement and had pushed on
the sciatica nerve.
We were so impressed with the
amazing loveandaffection forourcat
from the staff and the empathy and
excellentsurgerybothtimes fromthe
vets.
I would recommend them to any-
body with all my heart. It was good
to be at peace both while he was a pa-

ice, but most of all for the love and

Living a Prime Time life
JohannesJordaan,whoresides intheHelder-
berg, is the author of an authoritative new
guide on healthy living, entitledPrime Time.
It reveals that by adopting a positive atti-
tude and planning for your future, you will
makeyour journeythroughlife fareasierand
more enjoyable.
Here are a few tips from this book:
1.Have goals
Without goals, life can be depressing, lone-
ly andunfulfilled.Duringyour entire life you
should ensure that youaremaking theneces-
sary psychological adjustments.
2.Maintain a positive attitude towards
change
Try to actively manage your mind (your
thought processes and your perceptions) to
maintain a positive attitude towards the ad-
justments you need to make in life. You
shouldalsorefrainfromharbouringnegative
thoughts about your past. You cant undo
what has happened, nor can you do anything
about it now.
3.Preserve your health and wellness
Youll find that good health is not to be tak-
en for granted. This is true when you are
young and also when you enter your Prime
Time years. Good health depends greatly on
your lifestyle and on what you proactively
do to preserve it.
4.Manageyour financeswell togainand
maintain independence
You should, ideally, provide for a large
enough nest egg to enable you to maintain
yourstandardof livingduringtherestofyour
life. To do that, you should plan for it specifi-
callyandstart saving fromanearlyageutiliz-
ing the amazingprinciple of compound inter-
est. You should ideally start from when you
enter your first career.
5.Prevent boredom
Make sure youhave enough interesting ac-
tivities, hobbies and friendships to keep
yourself constructively busy.
6.Maintain good relationships
It is all important that you maintain good
relationships notonlywithyourspouseand
family members, but also with your friends.
Remember that its not always easy to make
newfriendsatanadvancedage, soappreciate
and savour your friendships and relation-
ships.
7.Prevent loneliness
Loneliness can lead to depression. It can
give you the feeling that life has lost is mean-
ing. The best solution for this is prevention.
Become involved in things thatwill keep you
occupied and give meaning to your life.
8.Spoil yourself
If your financial means allow it, focus on
caring for and spoiling yourself and your
spouse.Allow for luxuries suchas eating out,
visitingthetheatreandtravelling.Dontpost-
pone your travel plans or else youll miss out
completely. But try not to do it on credit.

SWfranchiseewins topaward
Schalk van der Merwe of Somerset West
was awarded the Rawson Property
Groups prize for the highest commission
fees earned in theWestern Cape in the pe-
riod November 2012 to April 2013.
This award is somewhat extraordinary be-
cause in the case ofmany franchises, the fran-
chisee does not usually sell property and
therefore cannot earn his own commission.
Here at Rawson SomersetWest we believe
that it is good for the franchisee to get out and
sell because it keeps him in touch with the
marketandthereforeputshiminabetterposi-
tion to advise and support his agents, said
Van der Merwe.
Working closely with his father, Johann
vanderMerwe,whoestablished the franchise
seven years ago, he is able to devote 70% of
his time to his own sales, leaving the remain-
der of the time for support to his agents and
the runningof the office. This regime, he said,
does call for long hours, but he has never be-
grudged this.
The award was based on Van der Merwe
achieving R42 million worth of sales in the
periodmentioned. Thehighest priced proper-
ty sold during this period by him was a five-
bedroom, mountain-side home in Spanish
Farm, which sold for R6,5 million.
The least expensive property sold by Van
der Merwe was a three-bedroom townhouse
in Somerset Ridge, which achieved a price of
R825 000.
Askedwhat other estate agentsmight learn
fromhis sales successes, VanderMerwe said
that itproves,yetagain, thevalueofestablish-
ing a loyal client base and building a reputa-
tion based on reliability and trustworthiness.
Ahighpercentageof todays buyers inSom-
erset West, added Van der Merwe, are from
Gauteng. They moved to Somerset West be-
cause they appreciate the lifestyle, the low
crime rate and the quality of the local, well
established schools in the area.
Also prominent among buyers these days,
are Germans who currently own 13% of the
residential properties in Somerset West.

der Merwe on 082 880 7071 or e-mail

Schalk van der Merwe of Somerset West was

Advice based on risk profiling is
fundamentally flawed
Financial advisors are governed by the Finan-
cial Advisory Intermediatory Services Act
(FAIS). In termsof theAct financial advisors are
accountable for their advice.
What is of concern is an unattended
consequence of how this legislation may
influence the quality of advice being pro-
vided. In terms of FAIS financial advi-
sors are required to complete a riskques-
tionnaire with their clients.
The basic risk questionnaire attempts
to classify clients as having a conserva-
tive,moderate or aggressive risk profile.
This is determined by asking ques-
tions related to age,market volatility, in-
come required, term of investment and
the clients general awareness and un-
derstanding of markets and investing.
There is no link between the clients
requirements/objectives and their per-
sonal risk profile.
The financial advisor completes a risk question-
naire for the client and if the client is classified as
conservative (lowrisk), then the recommendedport-
folio is structured as a low risk investment.
The advisor has compliedwith theAct by complet-
ing the risk analysis and matching the investment
risk with the clients personal risk profile.
The advisor can then sleep well in the knowledge
that they have complied with the Act and therefore
cannot be held liable for advice provided.
Wrong! An advisors job is to construct
a portfolio, whichwill provide for the in-
vestors objectives by taking on optimal
risk assets.
A good advisor/wealth manager will
educate their clients by explaining the
concept of risk and return, diversifica-
tion and how asset allocation manages
risk (volatility), thus ensuring the client
is capable of taking on the risk required
to achieve their objectives.
Advice based on risk profiling is fun-
damentally flawed and once the regula-
tors understand this, they will undoubt-
edly amend the law.Until then, be wary
of recklessly conservative advice
based on emotional decision-making.
They say doctors bury their mistakes
and pilots get buried with their mistakes. Financial
advisors will probably get buried by their mis-
takes!
