Well-loved resident dies after sustaining serious

injuries in farm attack

Mr Des Hart (76), who sustained serious injuries after being attacked in the Vlakfontein area last week, sadly passed away. The attack took place on Friday 30 March by two men in the Lydenburg district. He died in the Nelspruit Medi Clinic on Friday 6 April in the early morning. His condition in the hospital was unstable since the attack. Doctors had to operate on his hip on Thursday. Mr Hart was on his way to pay salaries when he was attacked by two men at the gate. According to reports one of the alleged attackers was a previous employee. Mr Hart was dragged out of his Land Cruiser, was stabbed with a knife and his femur and ribs were broken during the attack. The two men stole an undisclosed amount of money.

Another worker found Mr Hart around 13:00 on Friday afternoon. With the assistance of a radio, he called for help. Mr Hart was first treated at the Lydenburg Hospital before being transferred to Nelspruit Medi Clinic. The doctors then stated that they were concerned over his multiple injuries in conjunction with his age. There were reports that one of the attackers went to the house earlier the previous week, to talk to Mrs Nellie Hart and threatened her earlier. The two suspects are in police custody.He leaves his wife Nellie, his son James and daughter Johanna. A memorial service will take place on Thursday 12 April at 11:00, at the NG Moedergemeente Lydenburg. ~ Andre Coetzee

Munisipaliteit ontvang: Ons is as besigheid absoluut afhanklik van krag gedurende werksure, maar het 'n kragopwekker aangeskaf vir die paar uur wat ons wel gedurende werksure sonder krag sal wees. Sedert 28 Maart sukkel ons egter kort kort met die krag waarna ons die

munisipaliteit skakel en hulle uitkom met 'n lang stok en dan aan die stroombreker wikkel. Die krag gaan dan egter net vir 'n wyle aan en dan sit ons weer! Vandag, 3 April, het die stroombreker die finale gees gegee waarna ons ingelig is dat hulle nie 'n spaar het nie en so het ons as besigheid toe by Gert & Andre Elektries gaan aanklop en self betaal vir die stroombreker!Die gevolgtrekking is dus dat as jy nie self inspring nie gaan jy nie krag h nie om nie eens van die slegte pad wat ons en ons klinte moet ry te praat nie!

orruption at the SABC has delayed the construction of Cn e w p r e m i s e s f o r t h e

Mpumalanga offices and studios in Nelspruit. The architect and a number of SABC officials involved in the R77 million project are being investigated by the Special Investigating Unit.This was revealed to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communications during an oversight visit to Mpumalanga in March. The lease on the current SABC premises in Nelspruit expires at the end of 2012. With construction stalled on the new building, the SABC in Nelspruit may soon be left homeless during a critical period for its operations. As the deadline for switchover to digital terrestrial television (DTT) looms, new equipment is already starting to crowd the currently occupied premises. The curiosity of this project is exemplified by the R5,5 million air conditioning system that was bought for a building which does not exist. The air conditioning system is currently used at the existing leased premises. Marian Shinn, DA Shadow Minister of Communications, gave the following comment: I will pose a number of parliamentary questions to the Minister of Communications, Dina Pule, to shed light on this latest example of questionable management by our public broadcaster. The Minister must explain how much of the R77 million initially approved for the project has been spent, what it was spent on and who received this money. We need clarity on how the architect for the project was chosen, the details of the charges being investigated against the architect and SABC officials and whether payments have already been made to companies or individuals under investigation. We will furthermore ask whether the R77 million, or what is left of it, is still available from the Treasury for the new premises. The Minister should

SABC corruption halts R77m building project also explain what steps have been taken to accommodate the SABC operations in Nelspruit whilst these matters are resolved. Employees in the current offices have told representatives from the portfol io committee that the owner of the current premises plans to demolish the building as soon as the SABC vacates it. It will thus be critical to learn whether negotiations are

underway with the owner to extend the lease, or whether alternative temporary accommodation is being sought.As the project relating to thae new premises seems to have been fraught with irregularity from the onset, I will also ask how the site (bought for R4,6 million in 2006) was chosen, from whom it was purchased, which government entity owns the land and

whether it is suitable for the proposed new SABC building. This issue illustrates the impact of corruption on the efficiency of state-run institutions. The guilty parties must be held to account and the Minister must explain how she will mitigate potential impacts.

PaasnaweekONS familie doen al die afgelope 15 jaar nie die weggaan vir Paasnaweek ding nie.Ons ry nie, hoofsaaklik omdat di naweek berug is vir die grootste padslagting per dag deur die hele jaar.Dan is daar natuurlik ook ander oorwegings soos sekuriteit by die huis, die in seisoen pryse by

vakansieoorde en die geweldige geroesemoes van mense op elke plek. Ons verkies die stilte en rus en vrede.Maar, h ierd ie naweek was n uitsondering. Andrea word 21 en in plaas van n partytjie wou sy n naweek in die wildtuin h. Ons kon vanaf Desember nie plek vir die Paasnaweek kry nie en het dus besluit op Phelwana, naby die Orpen hek.Hierdie is n pragtige plek en idiaal vir diegene wat rus en vrede soek en terselfdertyd bietjie wild kan besigtig.Maar die paaie was n nagmerrie. Met die Moria naweek was die pad vanaf Lydenburg deur die tonnel Vrydag het

geweldig besig en Maandag met die terugtog nog erger. Ons het in n tou motors gery wat plek-plek heeltemaal tot stilstand gekom het en andersinds teen 40 km/u aangekruie het. Ons het die 160 km in vier ure afgel!Daar is drie soorte motoriste op die pad. Di in hulle SUVs met bossleepwaens wat hulle vooertuie oorskat en ses motors op n slag verbysteek, di wat normaal ry en di huidiglik bevoordeeldes wat teen 20 km/u aankruie met oorlaaide, sat bakkies. O ja, die minibussies vorm n vierde kategorie.Om so te reis is regtig nie n plesier nie en het dit ons voorneme om Paasnaweke eerder by die huis te bly, weereens net bevestig. Teen druktyd was die dodetal reeds 160.

Romeine 12:19 Moenie julle wreek nie, geliefdes, maar gee plek vir die toorn; want daar is geskrywe: Aan My kom die wraak toe, Ek sal vergeld, spreek die Here.Vader, wees met die wat geliefdes verloor het en straf die wat dit veroorsaak het - Amen

owat 'n jaar of drie gelede is 'n gesin in totale skok en afgryse gedompel na Sdrie moorde. 'n Vrou, ma en baba is op

een aand van hul lewe ontneem. Hierdie siek-storie het dadelike die verbeelding van alle Suid-Afrikaners aangegryp. Onthou julle al die briewekolomme van koerante. Dit het die feit dat die misdaadsituasie in 'n krisis van enorme omvang is, met mening onderstreep en opnuut die vraag geopper: wie is in beheer, die regering of die misdadiger? Dit is seker so dat 'n gruweldaad van tyd tot tyd in alle samelewings voorkom. Maar Suid-Afrikaners voel vere vir die misdaadsituasie elders in die wreld, hoe erg dit ook al mag wees. Ons beleef te veel van 'n oorlewingstryd op eie bodem teen misdadigers wat klaarblyklik die hef in die hand het. 'n Waarskuwing: Wees versigtig as jy gaan kos koop. Verlede week is daar berig van mense wat amper gekaap is in n KFC se deurry-restaurant. Dis die laaste plek waar mens dit sal verwag. Op Hoorhiers is daar dus 'n kwelling. Hierdie ding pla my. Want statistiek bewys dat die moord nie uniek in hul verlies is nie. Onthou julle die pa wat sy eie dogter geskiet het in die oprit omdat hy geglo het 'n kaper ry met haar kar weg? Hoe tragies. Wat my eintlik kwel is dat misdaadstories te algemeen raak in ons land. As jy iemand vertel van 'n diefstal of iets dergliks, weet hulle dit eintlik al. Want toe dit met hulle gebeur het, is dit en dat gesteel. Die diewe het s te werk gegaan, en dis wat hlle verloor het. As hulle nog nie slagoffers was nie, het vriende of familie al deurgeloop. Dit voel soms of mens deur die oppervlakkige voorkoms van mense moet breek om jou eie misdaad storie te laat geld. Dis 'n ongewone versperring om deur te breek. Misdaad maak my sinies. Ons word getref deur sinnelose misdadige geweld en kruip net al hoe dieper agter die venstertralies weg. Misdadigers se botter en brood word ons stadige dood.

Kiepersol Woonstelle in Lydenburg se inwoners skryf: Baie hartlik dankie Hennie en Hendrik dat julle bereid is om altyd beskikbaar te wees waar daar nood is. Julle is albei so gesend, so begaafd en handig. Ons weet julle is gestuurdes om hier jul talente te beoefen. Ons waardering is groot. Nogmaals baie dankie vir jul werk. Mag ons Hemselse Vader jul ryklik sen en ondersteun. Baie dankie aan die dame wat so gereeld elke week ons van eiers voorsien. Dit word opreg waardeer.

Thank you to everyone after ShavathonCANSA's 9th annual Shavathon event was a huge success thanks to each and every person who helped fight cancer by spraying or shaving their hair at schools, workplaces and at shopping centres countrywide on the 1st 4th of March 2012. This year was the year that more companies hosted a

corporate Shavathon than ever before! Here's to beating the record next year! This year: Over 70 000 tins of colour spray were used; Over 1 600 clippers (shavers) buzzed away at workplaces and public venues; Over 400 workplaces and corporates took part in the cause; And more than 300 shopping centres in South Africa hosted CANSA Shavathon events to fight cancer. After all the shaving and spraying the Shavathon campaign is still not over, but is running until 30 April 2012. You can still give a donation online or support one of our online champions who are raising funds for Shavathon. We have 61 champions and they've raised over R135 000 so far. But with a goal of R500 000 we need the help of every South African!

DURING the meeting of the Lydenburg Business Chamber held on 27 March, talks regarding electricity supply were presented by invited guests Al'Louise Van Deventer, Snr Manager National Control of ESKOM as well as Thea Naud, Key Customer Executive, Group services of ESKOM and the Municipal Manager, Mr. Burton Koma of Thaba Chweu.In a nutshell, it was clear that Escom was managing the electricity supply in South Africa very well. Although supply remains tight, a number of programs that include planned maintenance, the improvement of coal supplies, the commissioning of more generating capacity and the buy back of electricity from industry during off-peak times, were having positive results. Saving of electricity by domestic users also contributed to improvements. The other good news is that the new tariff hike will only be about half of the increase originally anticipated. It also seems that Load Shedding will not occur during the coming winter, unless people do not save where they can, and the generating capacity does not suffer any major breakdowns.This is indeed good news.During his presentation Mr. Burton Koma, the MM, mentioned that an additional supply from the Rooidraai station should be online before the onset of winter. He also elaborated on ongoing street repairs and maintenance, the filling of crucial technical positions within the TCM and other improvements to infrastructure in Lydenburg / Mashishing.From the meeting it was clear that a professional and workmanlike relationship now exists between the Business Chamber and the TCM.Andre Coetzee DURING the AGM of the Lydenburg / Mashishing

Business Chamber on 27 March, businesswoman Doreece Goldsmith, owner of Imbali, was elected to serve on the new, expanded executive of the Chamber, together with four new members.The new executive now consists of messers Mohammed Cassim, Farhad Essack, Ridhwaan Omarjee, Wessel Venter, Osanyinjobi Adebola, Louis van Rhyn, Pastor Dries Strydom, Doreece Goldsmith and Mandy Blom. As always, mesdames Gerda Whithehorn, Engela Krugel and Christine Claase played a pivotal role in the administration and the identification of new projects for the Chamber.The Lydenburg / Mashishing Business Chamber has gone from strength to strength over the past three years and now boasts some 150 members. It has plowed some R 800 000 into projects to improve infrastructure in town and assists

the Thaba Chweu Municipality in coordinating and planning various activities and projects.The Chamber also acts as a conduit for communication between businesses, residents and the Municipality in order to handle complaints, highlight problem areas and keeping everyone informed.The Chamber has with the assistance of Ms Whitehorn completed a glossy Business Directory and has promised that the new edition will be even better. The latest project consists of a state of the art community diary of events end an informative website.There is no doubt that membership of the Lydenburg / Mashishing Business Chamber is well worth the membership fees, as the benefits far outstrip the effort to join.

Production Vehicle Category Wide Open At Toyota Dealer 400

11Off Road Champs 12 April 2012

he combination of quality and quantity in the premier SP Class Tmakes it impossible to predict

Production Vehicle category winners at the Toyota Dealer 400, round two of the Absa Off Road Championship, in Mpumalanga this weekend (April 13 and 14).Closeted among the more than 20 SP Class vehicles are at least half a dozen crews who will fancy their chances, with another half dozen all capable of producing surprises. It adds up to an inflammable situation that sets the scene for an intriguing race packed with action and drama.After a thoroughly convincing win on the opening event of the season the Ford Racing pair of former champions Chris Visser and Japie Badenhorst will start as pre-race favourites for many pundits. With Lance Woolridge and Ward Huxtable picking up second place on the RFS Magalies 400 in the second Ford Ranger TDCi, confidence is a commodity that will not be lacking among the Pietermaritzburg based team.The Castrol Toyota Hilux team will feel they under achieved on the RFS Magalies event and Duncan Vos/Rob Howie, freshly installed as top 10 finishers on the Dakar Rally, and Anthony Taylor and Chris Birkin will want to steady the ship. The fact that this is a Toyota backed event adds a little pressure on team principal Glyn Hall and his squad.The Castrol Toyotas are probably the biggest threat facing the Ford entries, but there are other potential dangers. Reigning champions Jannie Visser and Joks le Roux (International T r u c k T o y o t a H i l u x ) , P i k k i e Labuschagne/Rikus Erasmus (Ruwacon Toyota Hilux) and Gary Bertholdt, now partnered by Ralph Pitchford in the Atlas Copco Toyota Hilux, will want to put first event woes behind them.Then there are the two Regent Racing Nissan Navara entries spearheaded by Terence Marsh and George Smalberger who got their season of the a solid start with a podium finish on the RFS Magalies event. Mike Whitehouse and Matthew Carlson scored a maiden national win on the Toyota Dealer 400 last year but a reshuffle brings Archie Rutherford into the squad.Rutherford, the reigning Class P champion in the Special Vehicle category, replaces Whitehouse and makes his Production Vehicle debut. Rutherford is widely experienced but will be under a little pressure in a team waiting to take delivery of two new cars with V8 power.The Nissan challenge will be bolstered by Thomas Rundle and Juan Mohr, who missed the opening event, in the Barden Tyre Services Nissan Navara. The pair were championship challengers throughout last season, and are listed among those crews who fancy their chances of an upset.The two RFS BMW X3 entries, crewed by Hannes Grobler/Hennie ter Stege and

Christiaan du Plooy/Henk Janse van Vuuren, also come into the picture. Both made solid starts to the season with du Plooy/van Vuuren starting to show a maturity that augurs well for their season.The BMW challenge is boosted by the debut of the Vossies X3 crewed by the Rustenburg father and son team of Willem and Dana Vos. New car niggles will be their biggest problem and the crew will be happy just to see out the distance.A trio of Ford privateers will also be happy to see out the distance. Louw de Bruyn/Riaan Greyling (Ruwacon Ford Ranger), Kobus van Tonder/Freddie Kriel (Uni Freight Ford Ranger) and Graham and Trevor Leith, in the Transcor Ford Ranger, will be more than satisfied with top 10 finishes.Toyota privateers Malcolm Kock/Johann Burger (Kock and Sons Hilux) and Hugo de Bruyn and Henri Hugo (Micaren Exel Toyota Hilux) also fall into the capable of upsets category. Both crews saw out the distance on the RFS Magalies but this time around will be hoping for runs free of the niggles that plagued them on the opening event.Class D also holds interesting possibilities with former champion Cliff Weichelt back from Australia for a second successive event. Weichelt and Johann Smalberger (N1 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser) will be after a second successive win but there is some tough opposition. Weichelt's son Louis and Maret Bezuidenhout will be out in a second N1 4x4 Land Cruiser, along with local brothers Johan and Werner Horn in the Malelane Land Cruiser.Toyota Hilux opposition will come from teenagers Jason Venter and Vincent van Alleman (4x4 Mega World Toyota Hilux) and Northern Region series graduates Jaco Visser/Werner Weiss in the Vossies Toyota Hilux. A move up in class and a non finish on the opening event puts young Venter and van Alleman under the microscope.After a convincing win on the RFS Magalies 400 the Toyota Hilux pair of Dirk Putter and Koos Claasens will be hot favourites in Class E. Diederik Hattingh/Buks Cilliers (Transcor Toyota Hilux) will again rely on consistency with Absa series newcomers Rowan Lamb/Lyle Parker (Ford Ranger) and Johan Griffioen/Willem Marais (Force Fuel Toyota Hilux) looking to build on encouraging starts to the season.Race headquarters and the designated service park will be at Lydenburg Toyota on the road to Long Tom Pass. Public access to these areas and to 14 spectator points along the route is free of charge, and spectator guides will be available at race headquarters.

The Donaldson Prologue on Friday, April 13 to decide grid positions for the race will start at 12:30 and the race at 08:30 from outside Lydenburg Toyota on Saturday, 14 April.

Pressure will be the name of the game for crews hoping for Special Vehicle category success on the Toyota Dealer 400, round two of the Absa Off Road Championship, in Mpumalanga this weekend (April 13 and 14).The pressure will be distributed in equal amounts on teams who got their 2012 campaigns off to solid starts on the RFS Magalies 400, and those who were a little slow out of the starting blocks. Maintaining the momentum will be the aim for those who did well on the opening event, while getting matters back onto an even keel will be top of the agenda for the laggards.The Atlas Copco pair of Johan van Staden and new co-driver Mike Lawrenson got their season off to a dream start with a win on the RFS

Pressure On Special Vehicle Crews on Toyota Dealer 400Magalies but it was a close call. They finished less than 20 seconds ahead of former champion Evan Hutchison and Danie Stassen in the impressive new Motorite BAT Venom.Many off road experts are of the opinion that the performance of the BAT Venom on its debut sent severe warning signs to other championship hopefuls. There is, however, plenty of quality in both Class A and Class P to suggest another highly competitive season is in the offing.Class P flyers Colin Matthews and Alan Smith (Century Racing CR3) were on the podium at the opening event and, given the right conditions and reliability, are capable of romping away with races. Pace has never been a problem for Matthews and Smith but a single finish, albeit a win, out of eight events last season

does not inspire confidence.The RFS Magalies also produced encouraging performances from brothers Laurence and Gerhard du Plessis (Zarco Magnum), Nardus Alberts and son Louis in the Wrapsa BAT, and KwaZulu-Natal crew Clint Gibson and Gary Campbell in the Gibson Racing Porter. All three crews would be worth a bet along with brothers David and Gary White (Ruwacon Racing BAT) who in recent r a c e s h a v e a l s o s u f f e r e d t h e consequences of mechanical unreliability.The father and son team of Nick and Ryan Harper, out in the ex Hutchison 4x4 Motorite Revo, also come into the picture as do Marius and Jolinda Fourie in a PHB Porter and Mark Corbett/Julien Hardy in the Century Racing Cr4. All three crews are top five candidates and will be looking for an improvement on their

f i r s t r a c e performances.T h e r e i s a l s o pressure on the two S u l l w a l d c r e w s running under the E l e g a n t F u e l banner. Reigning c h a m p i o n s H e r m a n n a n d Wichard Sullwald ( E l e g a n t F u e l Porter) and former champions Quintin and Kallie Sullwald (Elegant Fuel BAT) wil l be keen to improve on their first event results. For crews like Pieter R u t h v e n , n o w p a r t n e r e d b y Leander Pienaar in the Ruwacon BAT, Steve Parker/VZ van Zyl (Sizanani Jimco) and Naeem Moosajee/Rayhaan

Bodhanya (Maxxis Porter) the objective will be top 10 finishes. The Ruwacon crew and Parker/van Zyl, in particular, will want to put first race blues behind them.There will be interest in Botswana crew Mogrey Mabille and Lepsy Mosope, in a Zarco, while Daniel and Louw Zeelie (Orangeworks Zarco) will be looking to build on an encouraging opening to the season. A finish on the RFS Magalies 400 ended a long series of entries in the 'did not finish' column in 2011 race results. The Class P battle looks enticing although Matthews/Smith will start outright favourites. Interesting developments see last year's Sun City 400 winner, Richard Fuller and former Toyota Desert Race winner Rob Wark back in harness.Fuller will share the Regent Racing BAT with Denis Murphy and Wark teams up with Chris Davies in an Aceco. Both crews have the ability to push Matthews and Smith but could be a little ring rusty.Nic Goslar/Andrew Massey (Men's Health International Zarco), John Telford/Jaco Swart (Calcamite BAT), Coetzee and Sandra Labuscagne (Raysonics Zarco) and the Makenete brothers, Keith and Andrew, in another Zarco, complete a line-up that is sure to see some intense little cameo performances develop as the race progresses.Race headquarters and the designated service park will be located at Lydenburg Toyota on the road to the Long Tom Pass. Public access to these areas and to 14 spectator viewing points on the route is free of charge, and spectator guides will be available at race headquarters.The Donaldson Prologue to determine race start positions will start at 12:30 on Friday, April 13, and the race from outside Lydenburg Toyota at 08:30 on Saturday, April 14.

Wen by Longtom Nissan Iveco trucks are toughIT's a super-rugged part of the Dakar Rally but, sadly, little covered by the mainstream motoring media - so here's which truck won the 2012 event in South America.With a first, second and sixth place in the overall truck ranking, Iveco dominated the 33rd Dakar. The Petronas De Rooy Iveco team won the rally with Gerard De Rooy behind the wheel of an Iveco Powerstar driven by a 671kW FPT Industrial C13 engine. Iveco CEO Alfredo Altavilla commented: The Iveco participation in the Dakar 2012 aimed to reconfirm the ositions

excellent reputation of our trucks' reliability and of the FPT Industrial engines. Winning the rally and ranking three trucks in the first six positions is an outstanding success, which shows the efficiency, strength and safety of the Iveco Trakker and Powerstar. "My special thanks to the drivers and all the other team members for their commitment and dedication.For Iveco, the Dakar 2012 was a great opportunity to test its trucks across extreme conditions of three South American countries. The race, which started on January 1, 2012 in Mar del Plata, crossed Argentina, Chile and Peru, covering 14 stages, with a total distance of 8 500km. Wheels24.co.za

A GROUP of businesses opposed to the controversial Gauteng e-tolls have claimed in court that it would be practically impossible to administer the collection of unpaid tolls either through criminal or civil courts. The Opposition To Urban Tolling Alliance is arguing in court papers lodged last week, that one million transactions a day corresponding to 400 000 users will not be automated but subject to manual processing. This means that 840 000 invoices would have to be sent by mail to road users per month. The postal system would simply be flooded, said OUTA. We are advised that it would be practically impossible for the SA National Roads Agency to effect the service of 1000 summonses per day let alone a figure higher than that. According to Electronic Tolling Company CEO Salahdin Yacoubi, the company was aiming to recruit two million drivers to buy e-tags so that eventually 60 percent of transactions would be by transponder, leaving 40 percent to be camera-based. To date, Sanral has reported that only about 200 000 Gauteng drivers have purchased e-tags. ETC is part of a consortium that won the R20 billion tender to operate the Gauteng e-toll on behalf of Sanral. In 2011 Yacoubi said the company would need to collect approximately R10 to R10.5 million per day from Gautengs road users to enable Sanral to service its debt. To ensure road users are financially compliant, our strategy is to ensure the efficient processing of toll road transactions, especially of defaulters, implementing cost effective debt collection processes and cycles, and providing successfuland visible prosecution of offenders, Yacoubi said. Non payment of tolls will be considered a traffic offence under the law. Road users wont be able to renew their driving licences and vehicle licences as long as they have unpaid toll fees outstanding.

Gauteng e-Tolling system unworkable from an administrative perspective

The article is being used by OUTA in its attempt to justify to the court why it should grant it a relief to interdict the implementation of the e-tolls by April 30. OUTA asked in the court papers h o w w h a t a p p e a r t o b e insurmountable logistical problems of enforcement and of cloned number plates will be dealt with. Yacoubi estimated that 1.5-2 million of the approximately 3.5 million vehicles registered in Gauteng, would be considered frequent users who use freeways at least once a week. According to the live vehicle population as per the National Traffic Information Systen, there were more than 3.9 million vehicles registered in

Gauteng by January 2012. The numbers that emanate from Sanrals contractor ETC clearly illustrate that the enforcement of open road tolling in the case of the proposed toll road network is practically impossible, argued OUTA. To make matters worse, the e-tolling system also has material deficiencies that will exacerbate the problem of enforcement and cause severe prejudice to members of the public. OUTA cited the systems inability to charge road users who were not the owners of the vehicles they drive and failure to deal with cases of cloned vehicle licence plates as key to severe prejudices to motorists. The Alliance submitted to the court that e-tolling was not considered properly and it was so unreasonable an option that no reasonable administrator could have chosen to adopt it. Meanwhile Pieter Conradie, an a t to rney represent ing OUTA members, welcomed transport minister Sbu Ndebeles suggestion of a discussion with the parties of the e-tolling, but said nothing formal had been received by his clients. Ndebele expressed openness to talking and finding the best funding solution for the country's roads in an interview with Business Report this week. Attempts to get comment from Sanral or ETC this week went unanswered. - Saturday Star & iol.motoring.co.za

We attend the launch of new Meriva and Opel GTCLAST week we were invited by Westvaal Mashishing to attend the launch of two new Opels in South Africa, which took place at Zulu Nyala Lodge and at Gerotek.Dont be fooled by Meriva. There is absolutely no resemblance between the previous Meriva sold in SA and the new car. Gone is the upright little boxlike MPV of old. The new car is purpose designed from the wheels up. It is ultra modern and bristles with the latest technology and safety features, getting a five star NCAP rating with flying colours. Opel has taken a serious look at the industry standard, Renault Scenic, as well as at Toyota Verso, Peogeot, and all the other players in the MPV market. They have done extensive research and have determined that women are behind more than 70% of decisions made when a new car is purchased. They then went on to look at all the pros and cons of the competition and interviewed women on what they want in a multi purpose vehicle.Added to this is a powerfull 1400 turbo engine with low emissions and excellent fuel economy.I got to drive the Meriva over some 40 kilometres of Joburg back roads and highways with four big men in the car. The results are astounding. Drivable, spacious, with a commanding view and an all round feeling of superb quality and German engineering at its best.I am not easily impressed, having been able to drive more cars than most people in a lifetime. From the rear doors that together with the front doors create a safe zone for mothers and kids alike, the four different flex systems, seats than can be configured whatever way, loads of space, comfort, and even a centre console that can be moved to the front and rear with a click, or totally removed, the car is a virtual LEGO system that can be disassmbled and put together exactly how you want it. I am very, very impressed.Next we took the new Opel Astra GTC through its paces at Gerotek.With wide hips and looks very similar to the industry benchmark, the VW Scirocco, this is a fantastic car, and probably the only competition that Scirocco will have, as far as looks are concerned.The motoring press everywhere say that this is the best hatch they have ever driven. I tend to agree.With ultra modern 1400 and 1600 turbo engines with no turbo lag, and linear power that does not disappear in the higher revs, the engines again match the industry leading small turbomotors from VW. With Hyperstrut suspension there is no wheelspin, no torque steer and no understeer under power. Build quality, technology and safety are in a totally new class. Performance wise these cars carry on the tradition that South Africans remember from Kadett and the Superboss days. We took the GTC into the skid pan at Gerotek with all driving aids switched off and careered around totally out of control. Then we switched the systems on and it was

an entirely different car.In my opinion Opel has not only matured, it is now without a doubt the most premium brand in the General Motors stable.These cars have to be experienced and driven to comprehend what I am saying. They are without a doubt simply phenomenal. Welcome back Opel!Andre Coetzee.

Die Mpumalanga-woude en plantasies in die omgewing van Sabie, Graskop, Hendriksdal en Witrivier, wat gewoonlik stil en rustig is, gaan die naweek van 20 en 21 April 'n bietjie geskud word wanneer die Sasol-tydren na sy tradisionele laeveldse tuiste terugkeer.Vanjaar se byeenkoms, die tweede ronde van die Suid-Afrikaanse Tydrenkampioenskap, sowel as die FIA se Vasteland van Afrika-tydrenkampioenskap, is die 21e wat deur Sasol geborg en deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Motorsport-klub (SAM) gerel en aangebied word. Altesaam 14 sneltrajekte sal oor 'n afstand van nagenoeg 200 kilometer van die algehele roete van 700 kilometer beslis word, waarvan 10 grondsneltrajekte, drie op teer en een op gras sal wees.'n Oefensneltrajek word Donderdagmiddag in Sabie aangebied waarna die byeenkoms Vrydag (20 April) om 10:00 by die markplein in Sabie afskop. Dag een begin met vier sneltrajekte in die York Timbers-plantasies in die Sabie- en Graskop-omgewing en eindig met die tradisionele en ongelooflik gewilde nag-teersneltrajekte in Sabie en Witrivier voor die oornaghalte in Witrivier.Saterdag se eerste sneltrajek, 'n super-sneltrajek, is ook op teer en begin om 7:45 in Nelspruit voordat die eerste van die dag se ses sneltrajekte en 'n nuwe sneltrajek om die Mbombela-stadion aangepak word. Die deelnemers keer dan terug na die York Timbers-plantasies vir nog vyf grondsneltrajekte in die Hendriksdal- en Sabie-omgewing, waarna die Laeveld-skouterrein se tradisionele laaste kort sneltrajek op gras Saterdagmiddag aan die beurt kom.Die Sasol-tydren is tradisioneel een van die gewildste rondes van die kampioenskap onder deelnemers, sowel as die duisende toeskouers wat die opwinding oral langs die roete by goedgemerkte toeskouerpunte gade slaan. Die tydrenhoof, Willie du Plessis, het belowe dit sal 'n byeenkoms wees wat behoorlik by die tydren se 21e verjaardag onder die Sasol-banier sal pas. Danksy York Timbers, wat weer uit hul pad gegaan het om skitterende tydrenpaaie beskikbaar te stel, sal al die grond-sneltrajekte, buiten die nuwe sneltrajek om die Mbombela-stadion, in York Timbers se plantasies beslis word. Hulle is al die afgelope 21 jaar puik ondersteuners van die Sasol-tydren en ons is hulle groot dank verskuldig, het Du Plessis ges.Die sterk renveld sluit vier jaers en drie navigators in die

vooraanstaande klas S2000 vir vierwielaangedrewe motors in, wat hierdie gesogte byeenkoms al voorheen gewen het. Jan Habig, die veteraanjaer onder die voorste jaers en 'n sesmalige voormalige SA tydrenkampioen, het ses oorwinnings agter sy naam en sal daarop uit wees om dit in sy tweede probeerslag in die splinternuwe Basil Read-Ford Fiesta, nadat hy van die Volkswagen-fabriekspan af oorgeskuif het, 'n sewende oorwinning te maak. Sy navigator, Robert Paisley, is self 'n voormalige Sasol-tydrenwenner toe hy en Serge Damseaux die byeenkoms in 2005 gewen het.Die dubbele voormalige kampioene Enzo Kuun en Guy Hodgson het die Sasol-tydren vyf keer tussen 1994 en 2010 gewen en sal ook daarop uit wees om op hul vyfde posisie in vanjaar se Total-openingstydren in hul fabrieksingeskrewe BP-Volkswagen Polo te verbeter.Die Castrol-Toyota-renspan se topjaer, Johnny Gemmell, wat steeds na sy eerste ontwykende nasionale kampioenskap op soek is, nadat hy drie keer (in 2001, 2009 en 2010) as naaswenner uit die stryd getree het, het die Sasol-tydren al twee keer gewen in 2007 en 2009 saam met Peter Marsh in 'n Toyota. Hy en sy nuwe navigator, die baie ervare Carolyn Swan, was vanjaar tweede in hul Toyota Auris in die seisoen se openingstydren in KwaZulu-Natal nadat Mark Cronj en Robin Houghton die byeenkoms in hul Sasol-Ford Fiesta gewen het, en sal sterk aanspraakmakers op 'n eerste oorwinning van die seisoen vir Toyota te wees. Gemmell sal ook baie graag rolle met sy spanmaats Leeroy Poulter en Elvne Coetzee wil ruil, wat hom verlede jaar in die Sasol-tydren vir Toyota se 100e nasionalekampioen-skapstydrenoorwinning geklop en tweede laat eindig het.Poulter en Coetzee sal hul skrikwekkende ervaring in die openingsbyeenkoms, toe hulle magteloos gestaan en toekyk het hoe hul Toyota Auris in die eerste sneltrajek van die Total-tydren uitbrand en net 'n hopie smeulede rommel oorgebly het, probeer vergeet. Poulter, wat twee rondes in verlede jaar se kampioienskap in maar net sy eerste seisoen in die top-klas gewen het, se motor het van die pad af gegly en die Klas S2000-Toyota se rooiwarm uitlaatpyp het die gras onder die motor aan die brand gesteek. Toyota Motorsport moes 'n private Toyota Auris in net vier weke tot fabriekspan-spesifikasie herbou.

Sasol-tydren beloof hospoed-opwinding in woude en plantasies op 20 en 21 April

Tiaan Pretorius het gedurende die naweek van 23 en 24 Maart aan die SA Laerskole Atletiek

Kampioenskappe op Kingspark Atletiek stadium in Durban deelgeneem. Hy was deel van die

Mpumalanga span. Dit was 'n wonderlike twee dae van atletiek en Tiaan wil graag die volgende persone bedank vir hul bydrae en ondersteuning, wat dit vir

hom moontlik gemaak het om deel te wees van hierdie jaar se SAs: * Kobus en Sandra De Wet

* Willie en Marie Smith * Ouma en Oupa Du Pisanie * Al die 0/11 rugby-maats en hul ouers
