Seeeis skoolseun

JAMEY THOMAS

H

y was nie net my kleinkind

nie, hy was soos my eie kind.

Sy dood laat n groot leemte

in my hart, maar sy aansteeklike laggie

sal vir ewig in die huis weergalm.

Dt is diewoorde van n snikkendeMinnie

Adams (56) van die Strand wat Donderdag

(17Januarie)haar tienjarigekleinseun,Ash-

ley Adonis, aan die dood moes afstaan.

Ashleyensyneef,MarchelAdonis (13), het

di dag sonder toesig by Melkbaaistrand in

die Strand gaan swem toe hy verdrink het.

Volgens Marchel het hulle reguit n skool

huis toe gegaan, hul skoolklere

uitgetrek en met hul bran-

derplank strand toe ge-

gaan.

Ons het

pas met ons branderplank die water inge-

gaan, toe Ashley daarvan afgeval het. Ek het

kort daarna ook in die water geval, vertel

Marchel.

In n poging omAshley te red, hetMarchel

homvanonderdiewateruitgelig.Hyhetmy

om die nek vasgehou terwyl ek probeer het

omkustoeteswem,maarhywasnet teswaar

en ek kon nie wegkom nie.

Hy het voorts vertel hoe hulle albei toe op

hul eie probeer uitswem het. Ashley het vir

nwylevinnigagternagekom,maar toeMar-

chel weer kyk, het hy net onder die water

verdwyn.

Ek het vir mense op die strand om hulp

gevra, en nmanhet die polisie ontbied, het

Marchel ges.

Luidens n verklaring uitgereik deur die

Nasionale Seered-

dingsinstituut

(NSRI), is n

soektog in

die Melkbaaistrand-gebied voortgesit nadat

Ashley deur sy neef as vermis aangemeld is.

Ashley se lyk is omstreeks 21:00 die aand

onder diewater gevind en aan die forensiese

patologie-dienste oorhandig, het Johann

Lensink van die NSRI Gordonsbaai ges.

nOndersoekdossier is deurdieStrand-po-

lisie geopen.

Volgens Ashley se ma, Berenice Adonis,

het hy tussen 15:30 en 16:00 n skool by die

huis aangekom en vir haar ges hy gaan

strand toe.

Ek het hom ges hy gaan nrens. Maar

hy het sondermy toestemming enmedewete

tog gegaan, het die hartseer ma ges.

Volgens ouma Minnie, wat Ashley groot-

gemaak en alles voorsien het, gaan sy hom

verskriklikbaiemis.Hywas ngoeiekind

baie gewillig, hardwerkend, het vir niks te-

ruggestaan nie, menslik en vriendelik.

Hy het nooit die huis verlaat son-

der om n gebed op te s

nie, ennooit sonder

gebed gaan slaap

nie.

Hy het beslis n baie spesiale plek in my

hart.

Ashley se skoolhoof, Martin Leukes van

Dr. G.J. Joubert Primre Skool, s hy was

n goeie leerling wat altyd baie stil was.

Ashley het verlede jaar n diploma vir

goeie vordering in geletterdheid verwerf.

Volgens Marchel, wat by die skool bera-

ding ontvang van n sielkundige van die on-

derwysdepartement, was Ashley n goeie

Rockywaters forBlue Flag status?

NIKITA SYLVESTER

HelderbergresidentsareconcernedthatBi-

kini Beach in Gordons Bay may be at risk

of losing its Blue Flag status due to the ab-

surd number of rocks covering the shore.

Art Ridgway, who has been fishing in the ar-

ea for over 40 years, suggests that this problem

could have something to do with the dredging.

Sandgetsmovedall thetime,soitcouldhave

an effect on the beach on the other side of the

harbour, explains Ridgway, adding that there

would be a number of other factors to consider

too.

As a result of the rock problem, he feels that

Bikini Beach is no longer worthy of its Blue

Flag status. This is not aBlueFlagbeach.Kids

cry when they swim here. It is dangerous for

all swimmers. Bikini beach was once a beauti-

ful beach; now its barren.

The City of Cape Towns MayCo member for

Community Services, Tandeka Gqada, said

that Bikini Beach falls within an originally

rocky shore rocks are the natural coastline,

but sediment transport (including beach sand)

within a bay is driven by circulation caused

by long-shore currents. The same would hap-

pen in Gordons Bay. Therefore, sand at this

locationwould have originally been continual-

ly removed and replenished naturally.

However, with the construction of the har-

bour,andmainlytheharbourwall, thiscircula-

tion was cut off.

Due to this, there was no process for sand re-

moval, resulting in the formation of a sandier

beach what is known today as Bikini Beach.

The challengewith this situation is that the

natural,rockyshorestillremains,andthelarge

deposits of rock on the beach stems from the

natural occurrence of rocks on this section of

the coast, she said.

Over the years, the City has been responding

to public requests by moving the rocks out of

the bathers way, or by moving sand to cover

the boulders.

Thesemeasures are being carried out in or-

der to provide a comfortable beach for visitors.

Bikini Beach therefore requires ongoing inter-

vention.

It must also be emphasised that, short of re-

moving the harbour wall, the City will have to

continue with these measures in perpetuity.

The situation at Bikini Beach will not jeop-

ardise its Blue Flag status, Gqada stated.

Residents and visitors to Bikini Beach in Gor

dons Bay enduring the rocky terrain.

According to the Blue Flag

website:

Beaches are awarded Blue Flag

status based on compliance with

32 criteria covering the

following:

1. Environmental

Education & Information

2. Water Quality

3. Environmental

Management

4. Safety and Services

All Blue Flags are awarded for

one season at a time.

If the criteria are not fulfilled

during the season or the condi

tions change, the Blue Flag may

be withdrawn.

the United Reformed Church in Strand on

Wednesday to say farewell toAshleyAdonis

mary School drowned at Strands Melkbaai

Ng Metrorail, ng die Stad

Kaapstad wil die verant-

woordelikheid aanvaar om

n 4 m diep gat reg te maak

in n trap in die duikweg van

die Somerset-Wes-stasie.

Jannie du Toit het verlede

weekvandiegatbewusgeword

enDistriksPos daaroor ingelig.

Hy s die gat hou n groot ge-

vaar vir mense in. Dit is om-

trent 4 m diep en dit is gevaar-

lik. Dit moet dringend regge-

maakword, maar niemandwil

verantwoordelikheid daar-

voor vat nie, het hy ges.

Volgens Mthuthuzeli

Swartz, Metrorail streeksbe-

stuurder, behoort die duikweg

aan die Stad Kaapstad. Die

duikweg dien as n straat-tot-

straat-deurgang en behoort

dus aan die stad.

Hy het bygevoeg dat die pro-

bleem onder die betrokke de-

partement van die stad se aan-

dag gebring sal word. Ons het

ook PRASA CRES (Corporate

Real Estate Solutions) wat vir

die bestuur van die fasiliteite

by die spoorlyne verantwoor-

delik is, genader om hul same-

werking aan die stad te gee.

Brett Herron, burgemees-

terskomiteelid vir vervoer,

paaie en stormwater, het egter

ges dat die duikweg wel Me-

trorail se verantwoordelik-

heid is. Die duikweg is deur

Metrorail opgerig en dit ver-

skaf ook primre toegang tot

die stasie. Die duikweg is ook

nog nooit deur die stad onder-

hou nie, het hy ges.

Herron het bygevoeg dat hy

JAMEY THOMAS

An elderly man from Somerset West fell

victim to an attempted hijacking in broad

daylight while en route to his home on

Thursday 17 January.

According to Thomas Brett (72), who has

been living in the Briza area for more than

32 years, the incident occurred around 12:00

in Little Street. With the window down and

his armrestingon thedoor,Thomaswasdriv-

ing down the street relatively slowly. Howev-

er, about 20 m before he reached the stop

street to turn into Smuts Avenue, a man sud-

denly stepped off the sidewalk into the road.

While approaching the bakkie, he was

making some hand gestures atme, urgingme

to slowdown.Sincehewasneatlydressedand

looked like he needed some help, I stopped,

said Thomas.

Thomas thought that the man was going to

ask for some directions, but then all hell

broke loose.

He cameup to thewindowand I remember

thinking I wonder what this man wants,

when a knife suddenly appeared in his right

hand.Theblade thensliced throughmyarm.

Out of fear that themanwould do himmore

harm with the blade, which he estimated to

be20 cmlong,Thomasmovedtowardsthepas-

sengers side. According to Thomas his at-

tacker saw this as the perfect opportunity to

help himself to his bakkies key. After grab-

bing the key, he also demanded money.

He took my wallet, as well

asmy cellphonewhichwas vis-

ible in my shirt pocket.

Before the attacker could

make off with his possessions,

Thomaspleaded that he just re-

turn his drivers licence.

I dont know exactly what I

said or how I said it, but some-

how this man felt for me. May-

be itwasmyage.He then threw

my keys and drivers licence

over the bakkie, close to the

pavement,explainedThomas,

who was surprised that his

keys were returned since he

had been convinced that the at-

tacker would take off with his

bakkie.

Whilehegotoutof thebakkie

to collect the items, the attack-

er ran away.

Itwas only then that Thomas

realised his arm was bleeding

andhis clotheswere covered in

blood.

Luckily there was nomoney in mywallet,

but I had to stop all my bank cards and my

cellphone account. After notifying my wife,

I also reported the incident to thepolice, said

Thomas.

Despite his anger over the fact that an inno-

cent person meaning to do good was violated

and harmed, Thomas says that he is grateful

tohavesurvived thehorrificordeal.Hewould

like to implore people not to be complacent.

Thiscanhappentoanyone,anywhere,atany

time. Be alert.

The Somerset West police have confirmed

that a case of robbery is being investigated

and no one has of yet been arrested in connec-

tionwith the incident. Anyonewith addition-

al information can contactDetectiveWarrant

Cosatu Western Cape confirmed the sus-

pension of the long drawn out strike action

of all farmworkers in the province.

Inapress statement releasedonTuesday,

Cosatu claims that the strike was called off

last week to give Agri-SA the opportunity

to get a mandate to the CCMA to consider

the terms for ending exploitation on farms,

as put forward by striking workers. Agri-

SA responded to say that they were not in-

terested in discussing the workers de-

mands.

We are calling off the strike actions in

all areas, so that workers can evaluate the

victories that they have gained, and plan

more carefully for theway forward, added

Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu secretary.

Hesaidhowever that theyaregrateful for

the minimum wage increase of more than

R100 by national government as of 1March

2013.

We hope that this increase is decent and

ensures thatworkers cansustain their fam-

ilies.

Cosatu will continue to be available to

assist all workers and organisations, and

will be coordinating the mother of all

strikes against bad farmers, for later this

year should an agreement not be reached

in agriculture, with farmers, around living

wages, decent conditions on farms, and

comprehensive land reform.

Despite the 21 arrests made at Lourens-

ford Estate in Somerset West on 9 January

2013 during the latest strike action, Somer-

setWestpolicespokesperson,ConstableSu-

zanJantjies, confirmed thearea tobequiet.

We are always on high alert as police

vans continue to patrol the area, said

JAMEY THOMAS

The Strand police has confirmed the identi-

ty of the pedestrian which was struck down

and killed by one of their own in the Strand

on Friday 14 December.

The incident occurred around 17:45 in

Main Road.

A Somerset West couple, who witnessed

a friend, related the incident toDistrictMail

last week.

According to them a woman had stopped

in the middle of the road (on the white line)

in an attempt to get to the other side when

suddenly they noticed a speeding police ve-

hicle approaching.

The driver of the car said that the police

vehicle was approaching at a very high

speedinthemiddleof theroad,andalthough

he slowed down and moved as far left as he

could in order for the police van to pass

them, the pedestrians fate was inevitable.

One of the witnesses recalls the pedestri-

an being hit by the van and flung high into

the air like a rag doll, landing face down on

the tar road.

With the intention to act as a witness for

thewoman, the couple reported the incident

totheStrandpolicestationthenextmorning

around 10:45.

The Strand police confirmed that a case

of culpable homicide had been opened

against the driver of the SAPS vehicle and

that the case is being investigated by the In-

dependentPolice InvestigatingDirectorate.

Although the police did not want to dis-

close too much information regarding the

incident pending the investigation, they fi-

nally confirmed this week that 63-year-old

Fraudster behind bars once again

NIKITA SYLVESTER

Nearly a month after numerous Helderberg

businesses were conned out of thousands of

rands, the alleged conman finds himself be-

hind bars once again.

Alleged fraudster and Strand resident, Col-

inRall,wasarrestedon22December2012after

disappearing with a large sum of money be-

longing to various businesses that had spon-

sored his fictitious Helderberg Wheels and

Outdoor Expo (HWO).

Hundredsof visitorsandexhibitorsarrived

for the expo which was meant to take place

from Friday 30 November Sunday 2 Decem-

ber 2012 at the Charles Morkel Stadium in

Strand,butweremetby lockedgates,deserted

sports grounds and the event organiser Rall

nowhere to be found.

Months before Rall advertised the event

throughout the Helderberg and beyond to be

a weekend of fun and entertainment for the

whole family, as well as a charity outreach.

Rall not only conned business owners but

also his only employee, Charn Prins, and his

wife who claims she was unaware of his

whereabouts after he disappeared with the

money.

Several fraud charges were made against

Rall which led to his arrest on 22 December

2012.

Strand police have confirmed that three

fraud charges relating to the HWO expo are

currently being investigated.

According to police officers, Rall was seen

walking in Strand Roadwhen the officers im-

mediately recognised his face and arrested

him.

Rall claims that he was on his way to the

policestationat thetimetocertifydocuments.

So far Rall hasmade two court appearances

at the Strand Magistrates Court, the first on

24 December and again on 3 January 2013.

He remains in police custody at Pollsmoor

Prison until his next court appearance on 22

February.

Constable Mthokozisi Gama,

the increase in these arrests was due

to increased policing, with several

Macassar police spokesperson,

patrols also paid off in their area.

There was a general decrease in

might be due to a number of imbizos

Kokkiegetsaproper farewell

JAMEY THOMAS

Strand resident and Somerset

Mall car guard, Matteus van

BlommesteinKok (59),was laid to

restwith dignity thanks to his fel-

low colleagues.

When Matteus, best known as

Kokkie, died on 26 December, his

family couldnotaffordaproperburi-

al.Awareof the familys financial sit-

uationand the crisis athand, a group

of 40 Somerset Mall car guards took

the initiative to contrib-

ute R100 each towards

the funeral of their be-

loved friend.

According to Abdul-

lahSheikh,whomanag-

es thecarguards, a little

over R7 000 was raised

and handed over to the

family on 28 December.

About R4 000 was col-

lected by the car guards

and the rest was con-

tributed by Sheikh and

the company which ad-

ministers the car

guards, Golden Mile.

Kokkie was a great guy, who had

a passion for what he did. And here

at Somerset Mall he was part of the

family a family who helps each

other where they can, however they

can, said Abdullah.

Kokkie started his job as a car

guardatSomersetMall in1999,short-

ly after retiring as a typesetter atDie

Burger, where he had worked for 25

years.

According to a close friend, An-

drewBezuidenhout, they started out

as car guards together. However,

Kokkiedidmore than lookout for the

cars. He used to feed the

birds in the area every day,

and after a while they knew

when it was feeding time. He also

planted flowers outside the Mall,

laughed Andrew.

He says that Kokkie was a sweet

guywhowas a hit with each and eve-

ry customer. He had this positive

aura about him. He would get smiles

from his customers, and even hugs.

Kokkies wife, Rita would like to

express her utmost gratitude to-

wards everyone for theirmuchneed-

ed contribution. She says that the

money covered all the funeral ex-

penses and there was still some left

for a rainy day.

My husband was a peoples per-

son and its so inspirational to know

that there are still people who care

about others like he did. I am truly

grateful.

Rita did, however, not want to

make her husbands cause of death

known,but saidhehadsuffered from

prostate cancer in earlier years and

that he had endured a great deal of

painthelast fewdays.Hewasinhos-

pital for two days and during that

time slipped into a coma. He passed

away in his sleep, she said.

Kokkies funeral took place on 29

December. He will be sorely missed

by his wife, two children and three

grandchildren.

Diewemerkshulprooi in Strand-Noord

DieSAPDhet al indie verledemen-

se in die Strand-Noord-area ge-

waarsku om hul o oop te hou vir

snaakse items wat voor hul huise

of op die sypaadjie gelos word. Dit

is gewoonlik skelms of sindikate

wat jou huis vir n diefstal merk.

Einde Augustus verlede jaar is

dieeienaarvandiehuiswaarekbly

met vakansie en ek het onderneem

om na die plante buite om te sien.

Drie dae later is n broodboom

van die stoep gesteel. Die ander,

veel groter broodboom in n ewe

groter pot, (wat beslis nie deur een

menshanteerkanwordnie),hetag-

ter gebly. En juis daaromhet ek ge-

glo dat dit gespaar sou bly.

Helaas, twee weke later word n

swaar, wit sementbeeldjie skuins

agterdiepotopdiestoepontdek,net

sigbaar van die straat af. Dus is die

pot gemerk en sou seker kort

voor lank met genoeg hande agter

op n bakkie gelaai word.

As die beeldjie as n geskenk be-

doel was, dan wag jy seker tot die

mense terug isvanverlof?Diehuis-

mense is in elk geval nie beeldjie-

mense nie. Die beeldjie is dus ook

uit iemand se tuin gesteel. Geen

suidooster sal dit wegwaai nie.

Gevolglik: 1. Hou jou o oop,

2. Moenie broodbome langs die

Report baddrivers

to theauthorities

After being back at work for a few

weeksnow,mostHelderbergerswill

surely agree that theholidays are al-

ready a distant memory.

Unfortunately so to are our quiet

streets.

Now that most people are back at

work and school, our streets are

once again filled with aggressive

and selfish drivers.

There seems to be more and more

bad drivers on our road every year

and less and less being done by traf-

fic officials to curb this affliction.

Insteadof joiningtheever increas-

ing number of these lawless drivers

why dont we do something about

them.

For starters,it will help if we all

make a concerted effort to obey the

rules of the roadand report repeated

offenders to the authorities.

If enough motorists keep on re-

porting these bad drivers, surely

something will be done.

Judicial system

benefits criminals

Your articles in a recent Dis-

trictMail about a con-man Mr

Rall amazes me.

People seem to be extremely

naive and so for that matter is

our judicial system!

Here is a man who was con-

victed of fraud, condemned and

locked up, then freed, and no

sooner set free again commits

fraud and is locked up again,

freed again and starting the

thing over again, and every

body trusts him, claiming how

is it possible...! while nobody

dares to say that our judges are

weak and part and parcel of the

increase of criminal activity.

Arewe the countrywhereone

can get away with murder on

conditionwe show remorse and

explain things thoroughly!

Not that one is asking for the

death penalty to be reinstated,

whichisanotherpointofdiscus-

sion, but being too lenient on

criminalsdoesnt stop themand

makes them laugh at our weak

judicial system, where more

compassion is shown towards

criminals than towards offend-

ed parties!

Useorganic herbicide

Everybody in the Helderberg is being

sprayed with dangerous chemicals on a

daily basis without their consent.

Manypeople suffer fromallergic reac-

tions to these chemicals. The spraying

on the vineyards and fruit farms causes

huge environmental damage, as well as

the municipality spraying weed killer

along the roads and around shops.

Garden services should promote or-

ganic and individual homes should be

careful. Clearing of alien vegetation

along rivers using herbicide seems a

very counterproductive way of doing

things. The rivers and seas are very pol-

luted.

Heartfelt thanks for

savingourdog

Welive inSeaviewRoad, SomersetWest

which is a very busy street as it is the

main access to Beaumont Primary

School. Somehow our little Schnauzer

got out of the gate one morning and ran

into the street. A very kind lady called

us over our intercom camera at the gate

to ask whether we were missing a dog

as a little grey dog was running in the

street amidst heavy traffic.

Thank goodness we were able to run

out of our property, where the lady was

waiting and she indicated to us that our

dog was running into Mountain Road.

Fortunately we were able to get him

backwithoutourdogbeingharmed.But

we were so distressed that we never

asked this very caring and kind lady for

hernameand telephonenumber. Please

may we use the DistrictMail to convey

ourheartfelt thanks to this kind person.

When you are elderly, as in our case,

our pet becomes very precious. Thank

FOR THE LOVE OF DOGS: The first Vine

berg Animal Welfare took place at the

Blaauwklippen family market this past

weekend. Pet owners and their pets could

enjoy a fun and relaxing walk in Blaauw

charity. Pictured is Susan Theron with eight

on Saturday. After the walk, visitors could

attend the market for an assortment of deli

Heavyweight doesnt deter wasp

Somerset West resident Fennis Parkin-

son was in awe of the scene that played

out in front of her this past weekend.

She observed a 40 mm spider hunting

wasp dragging a paralised huntsman

spideronthecouchto thekitchenonSat-

urday afternoon.

Realising wemight get stung, we put

heronamagazineandprecariously took

her into the garden. She was still at-

tached to her prey, told Parkinson.

Pulling her spider, she proceeded to

race towards thepool, so I interferedand

placed her at the other end of the pool.

I was exhausted watching her pull such

a heavy-weight over such a distance, up

walls, over bricks until she found her

nest under the shed.

Inasecondincidentover theweekend,

Parkinson saw the same female wasp

with an even bigger spider come from

thedirectionof thepool pump.Thewasp

was intent on heading for the shed.

I followed her and she managed to

stuff this huge creature through a small

space under the floor boards. Thiswasp,

Ibelieve, is fromthepompilidae family,

said this nature enthusiast.

Parkinson, who lives in Briza, Somer-

setWestwould like to get in contactwith

people who know more about this wasp

and spider. Phone her on 082 939 1242.

inside a Dream, Loaded

Gun, FeelYourLove,That

aint Me and more will be

fit.

rangements of some rocking covers with the

hugely talented and creative forces of Jesse

Jordon, Rob Stemmett and Kevin Gibson.

This is pure 70s hard rock with a modern

progressive twist, a dangerously high dose

ofmusical instrumentation and a good smat-

tering of smokyBlues sauce to round off this

delicious original rock recipe.

For the first time, a small group of

lucky visitors will have the chance

tovisit thevineyardswithAvontuur

winemaker Jan van Rooyen and get

to know more about the thorough-

bred race horse industry.

General manager Pippa Mickle-

burgh will spend time with the guests.

This forms part of the exciting pro-

gramme planned for the first new-look

Stellenbosch Wine Festival this year.

We very often have visitors asking

if they can visit our stables or get to

meet some of our beautiful race horses

and its usually not possible aswe dont

want to do anything to upset the rou-

tinesof thenewmomsandbabiesorour

champion sire, VAR, says Mickle-

burgh.

However, on Monday 28 January

guests will be given the opportunity to

walk along the paddocks and to the sta-

bles for a Q & A session with Mickle-

burgh and a viewing of VAR.

After thatVanRooyenwillmeet them

for the vineyard walk and then return

them to the cellar for a wine tasting and light

lunch at the restaurant.

The cost of all of the above is R200 per per-

son. Thewalk isnt too strenuous, but partici-

pants must be reasonably fit, wear comforta-

ble shoes, sun block and hats and ensure that

they are comfortable with a reasonable

amount of walking.

Pre-bookings are essential and must be

made by Saturday 26 January. A maximum

of 20 people will be accepted.

For more information or to book, phone

Decision time forMusic Society

Theannualmeetingof theSomersetWestMu-

sic Society takes place on Sunday 27 January

at 18:00 in the Library hall.

This year, important decisions on which

the continuance of the society could depend

will be put to a vote.

Over the last few seasons the society has

seen a substantial decrease in membership

numbers (from 65 to 44) due to long standing

membersmoving from the area or sadly pass-

ing away. In addition the present economic

climate has had a detrimental effect on the

societys finances due to increasing fees de-

mandedbyartists,plus theLibraryHallpiano

is old and requires regular expensivemainte-

nance, said Essie Koekemoer, society chair-

person.

She added that in order to guarantee the so-

ciety remains viable, membership subscrip-

tions must be raised, and a new fee structure

for membership has been proposed.

Allmembersareurged toattend this impor-

tantmeeting, also anynonmemberswhomay

be interested in joining or offering sponsor-

ship to the society.

In a departure from the usual format, the

eveningwill commencewith a short piano re-

cital by 22 year old Megan-Geoffrey Prins, a

who travels to Cleveland (USA) at the end of

Avoid financial hardship

Asthenewyearkicksoff andeconomiccon-

ditionsremainas toughasever,borrowand

manageyourdebtwisely toavoidbecoming

over-indebted,warns theNationalDebtMe-

diation Association (NDMA).

Its temptingtobuythingsyoumightnot

otherwise be able to afford on credit, but

debt can be a major drain on your finances

and dent your long-term financial goals,

says NDMA CEO, Magauta Mphahlele.

Shesays justbecause lendersmaybewill-

ing to give you a loan, doesnt mean you

should take up the loan or the full amount

offered. Before taking on creditmake sure

that you have enough money to cover your

regular expenses, emergencies and future

price increases, she adds.

Important expenses to consider include

household and car maintenance, school

fees, transport, food andmunicipality bills.

It is also important to set money aside or

have insurance to cover emergencies like

illness, death and retrenchment.

Consumers can approach the NDMA for

advice if they are not sure of what their

rights or options are.

Tips for borrowing wisely

) Understand your rights and obliga-

tions: This will ensure that you make the

right decisions. Also, know your options

and where to go in case problems arise.

) Borrow within your means: Only bor-

row what you can afford and try as much

as possible to borrow for essential things

like a house, a car, small business, educa-

tion etc.

)Make your payments on time and in

full: You may think missing a payment is

not abigdeal, butdoing sowithout the lend-

erspermissionwillnegatively impactyour

credit rating and you could paymore inter-

est in the long run.

) Understand how much interest you

will pay: The amount of the loan and the

time you take to repay the loan will have

abig impact onhowmuchyoull spendover

the life of the loan. Make sure you under-

stand how interest is calculated and what

the loanwill cost youafter all other fees and

charges are included.

) Read the small print: Dont feel pressu-

rised intosigninga loanagreementwithout

taking the time to understand the condi-

tions. Itsalsoyourrighttoaskanindepend-

ent person to explain the terms to you in

the contract before you sign.

NEW TEXTBOOKS FOR HOSPITAL: Elsevier in Somerset West, a worldwide
