    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.

    EkonthouBossieveral vir syge-

    weldige en wye algemene kennis.

    Hy kon letterlik oor enigiets sinvol

    praat enwasookgierigommeeroor

    dinge uit te vis die ewige student.

    Wat betref sy kennis van en lief-

    de vir sy vak, geografie: hy kon vir

    jou weerpatrone uitl!

    Bossie se absolute nougesetheid

    sal ook onthouword. Hywas gewel-

    dig presies en n perfeksionis inwat

    hyaangepakhet.Hyhetdieatletiek-

    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-

    triektoesig het elke toesighouer n

    netjiese opsomming gekry en jy het

    presies geweet wat van jou verwag

    word.

    Sy kennis van die rekenaar en

    hoe om dit prakties en nuttig aan te

    wend, alles het hy homself geleer.

    Sy liefdevir atletiekenkennisdaar-

    van spreek boekdele ander sporte

    het nie bestaan nie

    Hy kon atlete, hul prestasies, re-

    kords, ens. van jare gelede oproep

    en sy sin vir humor altyd n slim

    grappie gedeel.

    Ek onthou sy lojaliteit teenoor

    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-

    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.

    Groot was ons verbasing toe

    twee baie netjiese, goed opgeleide

    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.

    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.

    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-

    that he could lose a leg.

    On Sunday Iwas phoned by the vet

    who explained the procedure that

    notwant to just amputate the leg, but

    wanted to try and save it. It seemed

    that the pin had migrated with the

    We were so impressed with the

    restaurant at 09:00 and 14:30 onSaturday 24 and

    Sunday 25 August.

    Each tour lasts one and a half hours and ac-

    commodates a maximum of 30 people, so book-

    ing is essential (021 847 2156).

    The cost is R90 person and includes entrance

    at the estate, some of which are extremely

    rare.

    17 International Camellia Gardens of Excel-

    lence in the world (the other southern hemi-

    sphere camellia garden is in Melbourne, Aus-

    tralia.) The 313-year-old estate received this ac-

    colade in 2010 from the International Camellia

    Society, a non-profit society founded in 1962.

    Vergelegen fans who have not visited the es-

    tate during the past year or two are in for a

    treat, as the estate has new lustre thanks to a

    major upgrading and extension of its hospitali-

    ty facilities and gardens.

    A new wine tasting centre has been con-

    structed, the former visitors centre has been

    converted into the family-friendly, bistro-style

    Stables restaurant, anda signature restaurant,

    Camphors, has opened to much acclaim.

    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.

    "USINESS

    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.

    For further informationcontact Schalkvan

    der Merwe on 082 880 7071 or e-mail

    [email protected].

    Schalk van der Merwe of Somerset West was

    awarded the Rawson Property Groups prize

    for the highest commission fees earned in the

    Western Cape.

    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!

    To my big brother, your

    third year away from me.

    Things are not the same

    without you. I miss

    sleeping next to you in

    your bed, I miss you

    playing cars and fighting

    games with me, playing

    rugby with me, making

    porridge and bread for me

    and the special moments

    we shared. I miss and love

    you so much my BOETA. I

    love you. Kaedy Phillips.

    Bradley Pillay

    15/01/84 - 23/08/2012

    Remembering you is easy,

    I do it everyday, but

    missing you is a heartache

    that never goes away. I

    hold you tightly within my

    heart and there you will

    remain. Always in our

    thoughts. Forever in our

    hearts. Until we meet

    again. Sam, Morney, Jared

    & Priyanka.

    example serving the whole

    community. You have been

    a social worker. Rest in

    Peace. Gezina Voigt Koop-
