RENTCOSTS: RENTALS ARE HARD TO FIND –AND THENCOST A PRETTY PENNY
Noroomat the innDALEEN FOUCHÉ
Rental prices in the Helderbergare soaring,withSeeff inStrandreporting a staggering 25% risein rental costs in the past sixmonths.
Rental stock is in such high de-mand that properties are snatchedup immediately when advertised.According toPayprop,anational
rental service provider that com-piles a monthly rental index com-paring prices across South Africa,the Helderberg has a shortage ofrental stock – and this is pushingup prices.Payprop’s data shows Septem-
ber’s national average across allhousing categories was just overR6 000. Gordon’s Bay’s averagewas on the national average atR6 000; Somerset West’s wasR5 500; and Strand’s was R4 500.
Louw Liebenberg, CEO of Pay-prop, says a shortage of rentalstock has made it an owner’s mar-ket nationally. Lessees thereforeneed to pay what owners dictate.According to Rode & Associates,
propertyeconomists, the followingmedian rentals are charged in thedifferent towns of the Helderberg,ranging frommiddle-market to up-market:
.Bachelor’s flat: R1 933 (middle-market) to R2 667 (upmarket) inSomerset West; R1 933 to R2 733 inGordon’s Bay; and R2 150 to R2 667in Strand.
.Two-bedroom flat: R3 000 (mid-dle-market) to R4 833 (upmarket)in Somerset West; R3 133 to R4 500in Gordon’s Bay; and R3 325 toR4 667 in Strand.
. Three-bedroom home: R6 333(middle-market) to R11 000 (up-market) in Somerset West; R5 067to R7 500 in Gordon’s Bay; and
R5 000 to R7 333 in Strand.Jacques le Roux, rentalmanager
at Seeff in Strand, says traditional-ly, rental prices in the Helderberghave been cheaper than in the restof South Africa, but adds that thisis now starting to change. He saysthat in the past six months, rentalprices on their books have in-creased by a whopping 25%.He says people are flooding into
the Helderberg, which results invery few rental options beingavailable. This in turn is pushingup the prices.“Webarely get a chance to adver-
tise a rental before it gets snatchedup.”He says free-standing homes are
especially popular in Strand andpeople pay premium rental pricesfor them.Le Roux says the increase in
rentalprices isgreatnews forprop-erty investors who previously
struggled to gain a profit, but addsthat it is bad news for many of thesalary earning residents.Howard Love, estate agent for
SomersetWestRentals, says rentalprices in Somerset West are rea-sonable considering the locationand the demand.But Love also adds that rental
stock, especially in the range ofR3 000 per month, is extremelyscarce.Kevin Wearing, principal of
Leapfrog in Gordon’s Bay, says herecently had to help his daughterfind a home to rent – and this wasno easy task.He says rentals inSomersetWest
are very high, while some of theolder homes in Strand were pricedabit toohigh forhis liking.He feelsthat Gordon’s Bay’s prices are ontarget, but concedes that rentalsare hard to find and there is usual-ly a waiting list.
BrianDuffield,managing direct-or of Rental Recipe, says that moredevelopments are needed to ad-dress the rental stock shortage,and adds that thiswill only happenwhen property investors turn aprofit by pushing up rent.Liebenberg predicts thatHelder-
berg locals will see a drop in rentalprices over the next three years,due to the large number of newhousing developments planned forthe area. He says this will replen-ish the rental stock and put the ne-gotiating power back into thehands of the consumer.DistrictMail asked its readers on
its Facebook page if they believerental prices in the Helderberg aretoo high. The answer was an over-whelming yes.In the space of a few hours, over
50 people had responded, with themajority complaining about theirhigh rental costs.

Gordon’s Bay Police arrested two sus-pectswhomaybe linked to the house rob-bers and the notorious balaclava gang onMonday, following a four-hour longstakeout.
The suspects were traced to theMountain-side area after an attempted house robberyinBlushingBrideAvenueonSundayat 20:30.
According topolice spokespersonWONicoBeukes, the area has recently been plaguedby house robberies.
Two armed robberies occurred on 19 and23SeptemberinWaboomStreetandBlushingBride Avenue, where the homeowners weretied up. In both incidents,four balaclava-cladmen tied up the homeowners and ransackedtheir homes at about 20:30.
After Sunday’s attempted house robbery,police, Gordon’s Bay Security and the neigh-bourhood watch activated an operationalplan, put in place after the previous robber-ies. They monitored the area and identifiedthe escape route the suspects are believed tohave used.
At 23:20, after the four suspects had notmade their appearance, the officers with-drew from the area.
An hour later, the suspects were spottedin the area again and the officers returnedthe area.
Four hours after the attempted robbery,the four suspects made their way to a densebushy area in Strelitzia Street. They werecaught off-guard as the police arrested them.
One of the suspects (32) lashed out andswungapangaat thepoliceandwas thenshotin the upper right leg.The three other sus-pects escaped.
The teams combed the area and found an-other suspect (24) two hours later as he wasrunning along Sir Lowry’s Pass Road in thedirection of the N2, where he was arrested.The wounded suspect was hospitalised andwas discharged into police custody later thatday.
Beukes said the men are suspected to bepart of the notorious balaclava gang whohave been terrorising Gordon’s Bay, Klap-muts and Stellenbosch.

Somerset College12thmostexpensive school inSACASSY VAN EEDEN
In a report released by BusinessTech earlier this month, Somer-set College was identified as the12thmostexpensiveschool inthecountry.
With a 2015 boarding fee ofR167 736 per year, a day learner feeof R89 904 per year and a R22 000 en-try fee, Somerset College is the sec-ond most expensive school in theWestern Cape.Bishops in Cape Town charges
learners R168 140 and is consideredby Business Tech as the most expensive schoolin the province. These fees do not include schooluniforms, textbooks, stationery, one-on-onemu-sic tutoring, the bus service or school tours out-side of the province.“We acknowledge that independent schooling
isexpensive,butwedobelievethatit isaninvest-ment every parent who has the means would
make to ensure their child is wellequippedfortertiaryeducationandlife out of school,” says NickyWhall, the school’smarketingman-ager.Whall points out that Business
Tech has compared Somerset Col-lege with boarding schools, whichis significant as only 16% of theschool’s learners are boarders.Somerset College is an entirely
independent school,which, accord-ing toWhall, means they do not re-ceive any funding from the govern-ment. “As such, school fees have tocover all the operational costs.”
Whall explains that because the school’s cam-pus isa 32hectare farmand theyemploy210 staffmembers, the fees are necessary to keep theschool operational.Last year the school achieved a 100%pass rate
in the IEB matric exams, including 252 distinc-tions,and98%ofitslearnersachieveduniversityexemption.

Traffic services clampdown ontaxis in SWMain RoadHelderberg traffic services have thismonth already served over 90 traffic lawviolation fines to taxi drivers in MainRoad, Somerset West.On2, 10 and13October, thearea inMain
Road, near the Town Hall, which is fre-quented by taxis wasmonitored by trafficservices personnel and the fines were is-sued.This follows an article published in the
DistrictMail on 2 October that includedcomplaints by many concerned residentsabout taxis being double and even triple-parked in Main Road in the mornings todrop off and collect passengers.Among the 94 offences, 23 fines were is-
sued for failure to wear a safety belt, 10
fineswere issued for overloading offencesand eight fines were issued to unlicenseddrivers.Councillor Stuart Pringle, councillor of
ward 84 and chairpersonof Subcouncil 22,said that although traffic officers cannotalways be present in Main Road, as servi-ces also had to be rendered in Gordon’sBay, Strand and Macassar, “when opera-tions are regularly undertaken, fines areissued and outstanding warrants are exe-cuted”.He explained that traffic services re-
cently intensified their operations andhaveconductedvisible enforcementonallminibus-taxis travellingintheareawhereoffences were reported.
FirgroveWatchmembers on themarch to keep streets cleanTheWestern Cape’s MEC for Safety and Secu-rity, Dan Plato, accompanied the FirgroveNeighbourhoodWatch (NHW) on a nightly pa-trol on Monday.
CharlesFortuin,coordinatorof theFirgroveNeighbourhood Watch, said Plato’s visit was“very fruitful” and they felt satisfied that theyhad expressed theirmain concerns to themin-ister.
“Drugs are our biggest problem in Fir-grove,”saidFortuin.Hesaidthat theftandoth-er crimes in theareaarealmost always relatedto drugs.
The neighbourhood watch was establishedin November last year as a result of the highlevels of drug-related crimes in Firgrove.
The team now has 25 members who patrolthe area every night, either on foot or in theirown vehicles.
“We have been very successful so far,” saidFortuin.
“We have caught guys stealing and prevent-ed other crimes.”
Fortuin believes, like many other FirgroveNeighbourhoodWatchmembers, that the lackof a dedicated police station for Firgrove is themain reason why crime levels are so high inthat area.
Plato’s visit to Firgrove was to demonstratehis solidarity with the Neighbourhood Watchandtohighlight therole thatcommunitymem-bers can play in crime prevention.

Flush toilets for someLwandleevicteesJAMEY GORDON
The installationof flush toilets forLwan-dle evictees who have settled into theirnewly erected homes on the SA NationalRoads Agency Limited (Sanral)-ownedland they were evicted from, commencedthis week.
This is according to Ward 85 CouncillorMbuyiselo Matha.
Matha says theprocess of replacing the ex-isting 45 chemical toilets that are separateto the housing structures with 45 flush toi-lets, started on Monday.
Quetzal Trading 116c has been contractedby the City of Cape Town to do the installa-tions, which should be complete within thenext week or two.
“Furthermore, the Housing DevelopmentAgency(HDA) isnegotiating theavailabilityof electricitywithEskomandwater and san-itation with the City of Cape Town.”
The residents directly affected by the San-ral’s forced evictions in Asanda Village on2 and 3 June, have since been living in theNomzamo Community Hall.
To date, 480 emergency houses have beenerected on the piece of land in AsandaVillage and 475 evictees have been relocatedfrom the hall into their new homes, saysMatha. However, 287 evictees still remain in
the hall and their hope of being settled is yetto be realised.
Matha says these residents will be movedinto homes once it has been determinedwhether a total of 234 or 849 homes will beerected for the evictees.
This, he says, will be confirmed as part ofthe inquiry into the Lwandle evictions.
Another issue to form part of the inquiryis the fact that most residents do not haveany furniture.
Matha says some of the evictees’ belong-ings were destroyed or wentmissing duringthe eviction, and belongings which could besaved, were stored at a storage facility.
The ministerial inquiry’s report into theLwandle evictions was handed over to Hu-man Settlements Minister Lindiwe Sisululast Wednesday.
The commission of inquiry, lead by advo-cateDenzilPotgieter, completed their reportafter hearing testimonies from Sanral, theCity of Cape Town, provincial government,the police, various NGOs and the Sheriff ofthe High Court. Public hearings were alsoheld in the Lwandle community hall.
Ndivhuwo Mabaya, Sisulu’s spokesper-son, says the minister is still analysing thecontents of the report.
He says once she has finished with it, thereport will be shared with Parliament’s hu-man settlements portfolio committee.

SomersetWestCBDcalmafter the stormJAMEY GORDON
It’s been nearly twomonths since the lastarmed robbery was committed in the So-merset West CBD, and businesses arekeeping a beady eye on the town throughtheir own neighbourhood watch.
More than 80 business people joined theCBD Watch, started by the Somerset WestNeighbourhood Watch in response to the re-cent crime wave about two months ago.Tony Cross, member and technical advisor
for theSomersetWestNeighbourhoodWatch,explains that the CBDWatch aims to connectdifferent business people and update mem-bers on crime developments andwhat to lookout for through SMSes sent via WhatsApp.Since January this year, a total of 30 armed
robberies have occurred at businesses in theHelderberg,accordingtotheDistrictMail’sre-ports. Fourteen occurred in Somerset West,with eight at businesses in Main Road – Mar-kham, Mr Price, American Swiss (twice),Telkom,Legit,Mojo’sandTruworths.Thelastarmed robbery was on 28 August – and thenit went quiet.American Swiss left town after it was hit
twice – the first on Valentine’s Day, whenR300 000incashwastakenduringalunchtimeheist, and the second at closing time on Tues-day 29 July, when two armed robbers clearedthe shelves.The store remains vacant, with a “To Let”
sign in the window.Carol Hattingh, the owner of Anton Hat-
tingh Jewellers, says they have jacked uptheir security and are working closely withother businesses to keep a watchful eye.The jewellery store was targeted by four
armed robbers in March and robbed of jewel-leryworth R500 000, as well as an undisclosedamount of cash.
Hattingh says the increased visibility ofthe police and the establishment of the CBDWatch has been welcome progress for theCBD.Fernando and Neves Gatinho, owners of
Central Mini Market, advise businesses tonot relax simply because of the decrease inarmedrobberies in theCBD.Theykeeptheirfinger on the pulse through regular SMSup-dates sent by the SomersetWest Neighbour-hood Watch.Fernando does surmise, though, that the
recent spate of armed robberies at mallscould indicate a shift in crime and that thiscould also be a reason for the decrease inarmed robberies in the SomersetWest CBD.“They nowhave their eye on the big fish,”
says Fernando.Abigail Engelbrecht, owner of Van’s Jew-
ellery, and Ilona de Wit, owner of EventaFlower Boutique, echo this sentiment.
According to De Wit, thestores in the CBD do not stockhigh-end goods – and crimi-nals know this.“The armed robbers also
knowthatnotallmall securityofficers carry firearms onthem and with the number ofpeople visitingmalls, it’s easyto disappear in the crowd,”says De Wit.Colonel Mary-Ann Willi-
ams,SomersetWestPolicesta-tion commander, says the ab-sence of armed robberies inthe Somerset West CBD couldbe due to the police and vari-ousothercrime fighterswork-ing constantly around theclock to combat crime.Williams says that in addi-
tion to increasing their visi-bility, police officers also patrol the CBD in ci-vilian clothes and regularly visit businesses todiscuss crime prevention measures and to fos-ter good relationships with business owners,who often serve as watchdogs.Captain Anneke van der Vyver, acting
spokesperson for the Somerset West Police,
saysnoarrests for the recentarmedrobberieshave been made.She says that suspects were brought in for
questioning after leads were followed up on.However, they could not be positively linkedto the armed robberies.Malls have now become the target of armed
robbers andWilliams says the situation is re-ceiving the full attention of the provincial po-lice.Armed robberies were recently reported at
severalshoppingmalls intheCapeMetropole,including Canal Walk, Tyger Valley and Ze-venwacht.Van Deijl Jewellers in Somerset Mall also
fell prey to armed robbers,who targetedhigh-end watches as their loot on Sunday 21 Sep-tember. A group of seven men were involvedin the incident.A 33-year-old man was arrested in Strand
on Thursday, a day after the iStore in CanalWalk was robbed by six men at 20:10.The men opened fire on a security officer
after colliding into his vehicle as they werefleeing the scene.Thelocalresidentistheonlysuspecttohave
been arrested so far. He made his first courtappearanceinCapeTownonMonday(13Octo-ber) on a charge of armed robbery.
“To Let” signs mark the windows of what used to be anAmerican Swiss store in Somerset West Main Road. The jeweller left town after two armed robberies cleared its tills andits shelves earlier this year. PHOTO: JAMEY GORDON

Die DistriksPos het verlede week berig in-woners en besighede is raadop met die veilig-heid- en gesondheidsprobleme wat die hawe-lose mense vir die omgewing inhou.
Haweloses het twee tente en ’n skuiling op-geslaan teen die klein moskee in die middelvan die plein.
Volgens Heese het die probleem die afgelo-pe jaar vererger met meer hawelose mensewatskuilingsopgeslaanhet.Die tentewasvirdie afgelope maand daar. Sy het die probleemherhaaldelikaandiemunisipaliteit endiepo-lisie gerapporteer.

works were experienced mainly due toadverse weather conditions and subsur-face rocks that needed to be excavatedto install the bulk stormwater system.Although the construction of the bulk
stormwater system along BroadlandsRoad, fromBroadwayBoulevard,under-neath FaureMarine Drive to the Green-ways Estate has been completed, resur-facing of the road crossings along theroute was also reinstated, says Herron.“Due to the condition of the existing

van die berugte Balaklava-bendewat sedert verlede jaar ’n skrikbe-wind in Stellenbosch en Klapmutsvoer.Dié sukses is beslis ’n veer in die
hoed van die polisie,’n plaaslike se-kuriteitsmaatskappy en buurtwag.Die samewerking en vasbesloten-
heid van dié klein gemeenskap omhul dorp terug te neem is inderdaadprysenswaardig.Inwonersvandiepragtigekusdor-

Police and security forces in Gordon’s Bay have made a successful breakthrough this week after they arrested two men week who is believed to be linked to the notorious Balaklava Gang that has terrorised the Klapmuts and Stellenbosch areas since last year.

Travel in timewith the ‘MailSixty years ago, in its third edi-tion for themonthofOctober, theStellenboschDistrictMail’s (nowthe DistrictMail), main frontpage story was entitled “Stellen-bosch Valuations Too High, saysMayor”.
The story details how Mr JB Col-lins, mayor of Stellenbosch at thetime, presented a case to the Valua-tion Court in Stellenbosch, com-plaining that the value of propertiesin Stellenbosch was too high.
In a second front page story, it wasreportedthatamannamedChristof-fel Prinsloo, managing secretary ofthe Van Riebeeck Trust Company inStrand, was standing trial at theStrand Magistrate’s Court for theft,fraud and contraventions of theCompanies Act. It was argued thatPrinsloo had stolen £1 650 from thecompany during his service there.
The front page also carried a
warningtoGordon’sBaypicnickersabout the fast-approaching fire sea-son. “The Village ManagementBoard has forbidden the making offires on the beach or under the fineold melkbosch and wild olive treeswhich boarder the road,” wrote thereporter.
A column in the newspaper dis-cussed rumours that Sir WinstonChurchill would retire in the follow-ing spring. “It is difficult to thinkof Britain without Sir Winston atthe head,” wrote the columnist.
In an article titled “Natives Ap-peal to Council”, it was reportedthat a letter from the Bantu Vigi-lance Association was read at theStrand Town Council meeting after“native occupants of huts on ‘The Is-land’ received notice that they wereto move from there.” The reporterquotedtheletter:“Wehavenowhereto go, but we will go willingly to liveunder healthier conditions.”

Craig Vee having hisbeard shaved off toraise funds for theChildhood CancerFoundation of SouthAfrica (Choc)
HAIRY PROFIT: Growing a beard can be beneficial, and profitable.Local musician Craig Vee (left) recently discovered this when he raisedR3 000. Vee says he did not intentionally grow his beard to raise money, but came across so many people in the six months that he grew it,who preferred him clean shaven. They encouraged him to shave off hisbeard which he agreed to do on condition that he was paid to do so.Helderberg Scrap Metal, Slayley farm and the Melfi family eagerly contributed to this, each donating R1 000. Vee decided to donate the money to the Childhood Cancer Foundation of South Africa (Choc), forwhich he also did a concert last year. Vanessa Vermaak, manager ofChoc Western Cape (right) and Somerset West resident, handed over acertificate of appreciation to Vee, saying the funds are much needed asmany young patients from the Helderberg visit the paediatric oncologyunit in Cape Town. The money, she says, will be used to cover thetransport, clothing and food costs of these patients.

What is investment risk?This week’s topic is prompted by the re-cent sell-off in global equities marketsandasksthequestion:Whatisinvestmentrisk?
There are several types anddefinitions for risk, but when itcomes to investing, risk shouldsimply be defined as the risk ofpermanent loss of capital.The Financial Advisory and
Intermediary Services Industryincorrectlyviewsriskasvolatili-ty of return. Advisors are re-quiredtomatchaclient’sperson-al riskappetite,whichmaybe to-tallyinappropriate forachievingtheirobjective, to theunderlyingvolatility of an investment i.e.risk. The implication of this isdevastating, as most investorsopt foramoreconservative investment strat-egy, resulting in failure to achieve their re-tirement objectives.Theregulatorsarecurrentlyreviewingthe
retirement fund industry inanattempt to ad-dress retirement shortfalls, which they areblaming on inadequate savings, pre-retire-ment withdrawals and high product costs.They appear to be missing the “elephant inthe room”, which is the compounding effectof an overly conservative investment strate-gy over the long-term.Youmayhaveheardofthesaying“Therich
get richer and poor get poorer”. This is be-cause the rich have a higher risk appetite,whilepoorinvestorsbelievetheycannot takeany risk because they cannot afford to lose
the bit they have. Appropriate risk and re-turn budgets should be based on the inves-tor’s objectives and not their personal unin-
formed understanding of risk.Sohowdoyoupermanently loseyour money? Number one andpersonal favourite is the “PonziScheme”, inwhichyouinvest ina sham investment. Your mon-ey is gone!Number two, you pay too
much for an asset. Usually thisis associated with a lot of hypeand always a good story. Themost recent example would bethat of gold, which turned atover $2 000 an ounce, and is cur-rently trading at $1 220. I amafraid if you bought gold at$2 000, your money is gone!Number three, invest in a
business which goes bust. Ask any AfricanBank investor how this feels.The only other way to permanently lose
your money is to behave irrationally whenfaced with short-term market volatility.Short-term market volatility is not risk.When your share portfolio falls by 10% in asingleday,thisisnotapermanentlossofcapi-tal; that isunlessyousell and thuscrystallisethe loss.“Investing is simple, but not easy” – War-
ren Buffett.

vra om veldwerk te doen. Dit was toe uit-eindelik ’n goeie loot om te verloor.Die jong provinsiale bouler Damian
Cairncross het vroeg toegeslaan en saammet Christo Southey en Vincent CastleBonteheuwel tot 80 lopies in sy toegelate20 beurte beperk.Helderberg het die teiken in 17 beurte
afgejaag en slegs een paaltjie in die prosesverloor.VincentCastle,GarySylvester enChallen Hess het al drie waardevolle by-draes gelewer.Sondag het Helderberg na Kuilsrivier
gereis omeers teenStrandfontein endaar-na teenGroenpunt in die laaste ronde van
