    NIKITA SYLVESTER

    It was terrible. Going at such a speed

    the driver took out a stop sign, flipped

    and rolled...traffic lights here, please!

    This was the desperate plea by Mary

    Hartle, aneighbourhoodwatchvolunteeraf-

    ter sheandher teamcameacrossanaccident

    on the corner of Irene Avenue and Helder-

    berg College Road in Somerset West on

    Wednesday (1 May).

    The accident occurred at about 19:00when

    a Jeep Patriot, believed to have been travel-

    ling at a high speed, crashed into the front

    of a black BMW. According to eyewitnesses,

    the vehicles were badly damaged and both

    drivers sustained multiple injuries.

    Vanessa Cunningham was one of the first

    people on the scene after a distraught by-

    stander had flagged her down. As I was

    coming up Irene Avenue from the direction

    of Parel Vallei, I saw the smashed BMW in

    the middle of the intersection.

    Shocked by the extent of the damage to

    both cars, Cunningham spoke to various by-

    standers who had witnessed the incident

    and also rendered some assistance to trau-

    matised eyewitnesses. One of them told her

    that the Jeep had sped across the stop street

    and crashed into the BMW.

    He must have been going at such a speed

    that it caused him to roll uphill for several

    metres, before hitting a tree and coming to

    a halt, said Cunningham.

    She added that they had been worried the

    BMW would explode as petrol was pouring

    fromit. All I can say is that fortunatelyboth

    the cars were good, sturdy cars.

    Due to patient confidentiality, the para-

    ers involved in the accident.

    Huiswerkergevonnisnsy ringe steel

    ILLANA FRANTZ

    EN NIKITA SYLVESTER

    n Strand-inwoner is dankbaar vir die

    Strand-polisienadat nvrouwathaarrin-

    ge terwaarde vanR219 000 gesteel het, in

    hegtenis geneem is.

    Die inwoner vertel sy het drie weke gelede

    na die DistriksPos gekom om n advertensie

    te plaas. Hier het sy n vrou gesien wat werk

    soek en toe ook n advertensie daarvoor wou

    plaas. Ek het toe sommer vir haar gevra of

    sy nie bymywil komwerk nie, want ek soek

    juis na n huishulp, het die inwoner ges.

    Die vrou het toe Dinsdag 9, Vrydag 12 en

    Saterdag 13April bydie inwoner gewerk.Die

    volgende dag het sy besef dat twee van haar

    ringe,wat antieke erfstukke is, weg is. Sy het

    die polisie ontbied,met n vermoede dat haar

    nuwe huishulp dalk hiervoor verantwoorde-

    lik konwees. Die polisie het aan die inwoner

    ges dat sy haar huishulp moet bel om die

    volgende dag, Maandag (15 April), weer te

    kom werk.

    Kort nadat die huis-

    hulp by die vrou se

    huis aangekom het,

    het sy haar met huis-

    werk besig gehou ter-

    wyl sy die polisie ont-

    bied het. Die polisie-

    beamptes het haar

    ondervra en sy het skuld beken.

    Sy het erken dat sy een aan n pandjies-

    winkel (pawn shop) verkoop het en dat die

    ander een by haar huis op n plaas naby Stel-

    lenboschwas.Die inwonerhet bygevoegdat

    die huishulp tydens skulderkenning aan die

    haar ges het, Jy wou nie vir my R100 leen

    nie, toe steel ek jou goed.

    Die huishulp, Nicoleen Williams (40), het

    op 17 April in die Strand-landdroshof ver-

    skyn en later weer op 26 April. Daar het sy

    skuld op die aanklag van diefstal teen haar

    beken.

    In n bedigde

    verklaringhetWil-

    liams ges, Ek het

    een van die slaap-

    kamers skoon ge-

    maak toe ek die

    twee ringe sien. In

    n oomblik van

    swakheid het ek doelbewus die ringe in my

    sak gesteek, met die doel om dit te steel. Die

    verklaring lui verder dat sy eenvandie ringe

    aan Cash Crusaders vir R500 verkoop het.

    Landdros Karen Scheepers het aan Willi-

    ams drie jaar gevangenisstraf vir di mis-

    daad toegedien.

    Graag wil ek Strand-polisie vir hulle uit-

    stekende diens prys, s die inwoner.

    Die inwoner se kosbare antieke ringe is met

    behulp van goeie polisiewerk teruggevind.

    WALKING FOR BRONWYN: Paul

    Steyn from the Paul Steyn Foundation

    started another charitable walk on Mon-

    day 6 May, this time in aid of a pros-

    thetic leg for Bronwyn van den Bergh

    (19). Paul recently met Bronwyn at Hel-

    derberg Hospital where he learnt she

    was still R14 000 short of the R80 000

    needed for a prosthetic leg. Bronwyns

    leg had to be amputated due to the spi-

    der bite. Paul decided to assist her by

    raising funds with a walk. He started at

    Pick n Pay Gordons Bay and was es-

    corted by vehicles from Gordons Bay

    SAPS, Gordons Bay Security and

    GBMED Rescue, all the way through

    Strand Beach Road to Waterstone Vil-

    lage. Pauls journey will continue all the

    way to Camps Bay and right back to

    Somerset West.

    Bus strikes effect on commuters is debilitating

    JAMEY THOMAS

    Helderberg residents, dependent on the

    Golden Arrow Bus Services, are still

    bearing the brunt of the nationwide bus

    strike which has now entered its third

    week.

    Busdrivers affiliated to theSouthAfrican

    Transport and Allied Workers Union

    (Satawu) and the Transport and Omnibus

    Workers Union (Towu) undertook strike ac-

    tion on Friday 19 April. Employers offered

    a 6,5% wage increase while unions initially

    demanded an 18% wage increase.

    However, last week it was reported that

    unions had lowered their demand to a 13%

    wage increase,while employers raised their

    offer to 8%.

    No agreement has yet been reached and

    talks between the unions and employers at

    the Commission for Reconciliation, Media-

    tion and Arbitration have resumed.

    Meanwhile, striking bus drivers were ex-

    pected to march to parliament on Tuesday.

    On the other hand, the City of Cape Town

    remains hopeful that the ongoing national

    transport strike will soon be resolved as

    hundreds of thousands of commuters across

    the country have been substantially incon-

    venienced.

    It is important forbuses tobecomeopera-

    tional as soon as possible. We have noted a

    substantial increase in traffic congestion on

    roads, in someareas by asmuchas 30%.The

    bus strike has impacted on our residents

    ability to get to work safely and on time and

    on our learners getting to school. This is

    deeply regrettable, said councillor Brett

    Herron, Mayco member for Transport,

    Roads and Stormwater, in a statement re-

    leased on Tuesday.

    Since the start of the strike,GoldenArrow

    Bus Services has kept its buses under lock

    and key and continues with the suspension

    of its services for the duration of the strike.

    Earlier this week, the organisation

    reached out to commuters and extended its

    sincerest apologies to all who have been ad-

    versely affected by the ongoing national bus

    strike.

    DistrictMail posted an update of the bus

    strike on its Facebook-page and this was

    what local commuters had to say:

    Fleur Swemmer: I say that when the

    strike ends, keep other modes of transport.

    Someone should take advantage and offer

    scooters at a lower repay price. Commuters

    need more options.

    Sonya Beyers: I agree!

    Michelle Jacobs: The strike is debilitat-

    ing. Stealing hours from my employer, not

    being able to come to work and reaching

    home later, robbing precious time from my

    family. It is awful and I am very unhappy.

    Not everyone can afford a car and public

    transport is dangerous enough now that the

    roads are congested with taxis speeding

    even more to cram maximum passengers.

    And trains are even more horrendously

    crammed. It is basically a matter of prayer

    every day to go to work and come back in

    one piece. Pay the people the money they

    want and give us a chance to earn our sala-

    ries and keep our lives and health intact

    Golden Arrow. You are destroying families!

    Community helps Julies daughter

    Nadene Kannemeyer, girlfriend of the late

    Jhuvanne Julies, the Helderberg Crime

    Watch (HCW) /Vetus Schola officer who died

    in the line of duty last year, would like to

    thank theSomersetWest community for their

    generous donations to their daughter Taylor

    (3).

    Samantha Paris from HCW said the dona-

    tions of various items were made possible by

    the initiative of Neighbourhood Watch co-or-

    dinators Sandy Webster and Jenny Findley.

    Julies death in July 2012 appeared in our

    newsletter and people from all over started

    giving donations, so we decided to create a

    fund for Taylor, said Paris.

    Julies (33) was stabbed to death by an un-

    known man on 21 July 2012 while on duty in

    Lourensford Road, opposite the Shell garage.

    He had beenworking for the company for just

    under two months.

    Kannemeyer said the funds helped with

    Taylors crche fees and she is grateful to the

    Helderberg community for their assistance.

    THESE STOLEN BICY

    CLES? The Strand police

    needs assistance in trac-

    ing these two bicycles

    which were stolen be-

    tween 13 and 18 April.

    The bicycles were taken

    out of the garage of a

    house in De Maart

    Street, Strand. One is a

    Carnielli traffic city ex-

    plorer, worth R4 000.

    The other is a Shimano

    Raleigh mountain bicy-

    cle, worth R10 000. An-

    Armed robbers hijack van inGB

    Two suspects involved in an armed robbery

    and hijacking which took place at a vendor

    stall alongside Sir Lowrys Pass Road, oppo-

    site Gordons Bay Primary, are still at large.

    According to the Gordons Bay police the

    incident occurred around 10:00 on Tuesday.

    ApparentlyaBritishAmericanTobaccocom-

    pany vehicle stopped at the vendor stall to

    deliver cigarettes and collect the money for

    the supplieswhen the driverwasheld at gun-

    point by twounknownmen.Themengot into

    the vehicle and drove off with R100.

    It seems that themen spotted a police van

    not far from the incident and they panicked

    and proceededwith speed, saidWarrant Of-

    ficer Nico Beukes, spokesperson for the Gor-

    dons Bay police.

    The police van gave chase and forced the

    vehicle to stop in Drommedaris Street.

    However, both men fled on foot and disap-

    peared into the residential area.

    After a widespread search, a firearm and

    the suspects clothes were found. But, no ar-

    rests could be made.

    A case of armed robbery and hijacking is

    being investigated.

    Anyone with information can contact the

    Gordons Bay police on 021 856 2677.

    It is unacceptable that nothing

    happens to electricity thieves in

    Lwandle just off theN2. Their ille-

    gal wires run around telephone

    cables and across the road in full

    view forofficialsandpolice to see

    but nothing happens. We must

    save electricity while others are

    allowed to steal it. Why does this

    paper not go and take pictures

    of this blatant theft?

    How is it possible that the Spur

    in Gordons Bay has been

    robbed three times and they are

    situated directly opposite the po-

    lice station? Is it because the po-

    lice cant get through the safety

    gate at the entrance to the police

    station? What a joke this is.

    I would like to thank Shiraaj from

    SM Parts Finder for always ac-

    commodating my son over the

    yearswith the correct parts in our

    business while Im overseas and

    Dream, Inspire,Dance Sumsbest showever

    It has just beenmyprivilege to see

    Sums production of Dream, In-

    spire, Dance and I feel the need to

    let everyone know about the kind

    of talent available in Somerset

    West, but where to start?

    Every aspect of the production

    is so inspiring that it can only be

    treated by breaking it down to in-

    dividual component parts.

    The stage sets the atmosphere

    by appearing simple and straight-

    forward, but dont be fooled. Its

    not easy to make something that

    looks simple, work properly. The

    set design and construction team

    are to be congratulated.

    The lighting plot was spot on

    (pardon the pun). The mood of

    each scene was enhanced by the

    lightingeffects. Strobe lightswere

    used, but never interfered with

    my sensitive eyes, blackouts etc

    were perfectly timed, the lights

    neverwent off or cameon too soon

    or too late.

    The sound levels were correct

    throughout theperformance, loud

    (butnotdeafening)whenrequired

    and gentle when needed. The

    choice of music contained many

    of my personal favourites.

    Backstage crew. What back-

    stage crew? I knew there must

    have been someone there but

    scene shiftswerenever obtrusive,

    they were so slick that there was

    never a delay between numbers.

    Costumes. fantastic, colourful

    and suited to the dances. At a

    rough guess theremust have been

    over 400 outfits for dancers of all

    ages, yet all the costumes fitted

    perfectly.

    The dancers. Of course without

    them there wouldnt have been a

    show. But it was a joy to watch all

    of them so obviously enjoying

    themselves. Yes, I had my favour-

    ites, some of them are obviously

    stars in themaking, but I consider

    it would be wrong of me to pick

    out any single person (or group of

    people) because they are all so

    good.

    Sumhasalwayshadaveryspe-

    cial place in my heart. After each

    of her productions say, There is

    no way she can improve on that.

    But she always proves me wrong.

    Whatsherspecialmagic? Iwish

    I knew, but it certainly involves

    the discipline she instills in her

    dancers, the hard working team

    she surrounds herself with and in

    the theme of the show in other

    words the way she dreams of a

    show, the way she inspires every-

    one and her knowledge of dance.

    Well done Sum. I am sure this

    will be your best show ever. You

    cant improve on this. Now its up

    to you to prove me wrong next

    time.

    If any one reads this while the

    show is still running DONT

    MISS IT!

    StrandBeachCleanup:whatagreat success!

    We saw the notice of the Strand

    Beach Cleanup for 4May adver-

    tised in theDistrictDiary, somy

    daughter Skye and I went down

    to the beach to volunteer.

    What really impressed me

    was that all the volunteers did

    the clean up so cheerfully. The

    people walking /running along

    the beach, saw all of uswith our

    yellow bags (which were sup-

    plied)andsomanyjustautomat-

    ically picked up any debris they

    saw and handed it to us.

    One little boy came running

    tome, fromquiteadistance, just

    to put his cold drink bottle into

    the bag.

    If thereweremorebinsonour

    beaches, these types of projects

    would not be necessary.

    Its a beautiful beach and I

    think the people using the

    beaches would definitely make

    use of readily available bins.

    Showyour love this

    MothersDay

    Instead of joining the hordes of peo-

    ple buying cheesy gifts and cards for

    Mothers Day, why not rather do

    something really meaningful and

    heartfelt?

    If you think of everything that

    your mother did for you, all the sac-

    rifices she made and all the knowl-

    edge she empowered you with, is it

    not time that you give something

    back?

    A handmade card, crafted with

    love and passion with some mean-

    ingful words together with flowers

    picked from your garden are just so

    much better than a random gift and

    a bought card.

    Another idea is to cookyourmoth-

    er her favourite meal (with help

    fromdadandclean thekitchenafter-

    wards), then get the family together

    for a big celebration.

    Alsogivemomadayoffhousehold

    chores like washing dishes, clothes,

    sweeping etc.

    Remember, Mothers Day comes

    around once a year, so show your

    mother just howmuch you love her,

    care for her and how much she

    means to you.

    Enjoy the day together as a family

    and promise to treat her more often

    and not just on Mothers Day.

    Voteofno confidence

    I recently needed various repairs done

    around the house, so I scanned the Dis-

    trictMail services column and called a

    handyman. Actually, over the next three

    to four weeks I called four handymen.

    I have been shocked by the response.

    Thefirstguydidntpitch,theotherscame

    tolookandpromisedtosendquotes,noth-

    ing has happened. After several weeks I

    havegivenup.Onewondersifotherread-

    ers have had similar experiences?

    Ifthereisapositiveconclusionthatcan

    be drawn from this sad state of affairs,

    it may be that even in the present slow

    economic climate theremust be opportu-

    nities for capable, responsible service

    people to start their own businesses and

    compete successfully. Subsequent to

    this, I called an aluminium gutter expert

    as well as a kitchen cupboard supplier/

    fitter, both of whom promised to call the

    next day before coming to have a look at

    the job, you probably guessed Im still

    waiting!

    Cycling for life2013: raises

    R300000 forHospice

    What makes 40 teams of 304

    cyclists ride non-stop for 12

    hours?Whatteststheirendur-

    ance and keeps them in the

    saddle, hour after relentless

    hour?

    These were probably some of

    the questions the cyclists were

    asking themselves during the

    fourth annual Cycling for Life

    Challenge.

    The answer, of course, was to

    raise funds for Helderberg Hos-

    pice.

    The event took place on Satur-

    day 4May at the DeHoop Prima-

    ry School Activity Centre in

    Somerset West.

    It was a ride with a difference,

    as it took place indoors, on sta-

    tionary bikes placed on trainers,

    with computerised speedome-

    ters.

    The pace set from the very

    start of the day proved that this

    event is justasdemandingasany

    major cycle race. The huge in-

    crease in participation shows

    that serious cyclists are keen to

    be part of this challenge, said

    Patricia McNaught Davis, Hel-

    derberg Hospices events, media

    and marketing coordinator.

    Teams sponsored cyclists rid-

    ing an epic 22 139 km from

    06:00 to 18:00, and raised

    R300 000 in the process.

    A team that stood out in this

    years challenge, was the Ex-

    tremeTeam fromSomersetWest

    Round Table, who collected al-

    most R60 000 between them.

    Andrew Dietrich undertook a

    24-hour solo ride and was kept

    company by Herman Koegelen-

    berg and Andre Moreby, who

    each pounded the pedals for a so-

    lo 12-hour ride. Thehighlight of

    the event was a visit from the

    premier of the Western Cape,

    HelenZille,whorodethelasthalf

    hour of the day with the hard-

    working cyclists. Helderberg

    Hospice salutes all those who

    worked so hard for this event,

    both on and off the saddle, and

    whose commitment to Hospice

    helps ensure that all in our com-

    munitycanbenefit fromthisspe-

    cial service of care, said Mc-

    Naught Davis.

    Helpinghands forGrade1 teachers

    It is vital for pupils to get proper academic

    support from an early age, otherwise it ham-

    pers their development.

    According to RolandMacDonald, principal

    of Sir Lowrys Pass Primary School, most of

    the Grade 1s at the school didnt have the op-

    portunity to attend pre-school and therefore

    donothavebasicskills likecuttingwithapair

    of scissors.

    With these extra hands, teachers will be

    able to spend more valuable time on teach-

    ing, says MacDonald.

    Not only will pupils receivemore individu-

    al attention, but jobs have also been created

    for two women of Sir Lowrys Pass.

    into the areas of education, sport and animals

    in Sir Lowrys Pass.

    As part of this drive, the assistantswere ap-

    pointed and new signage was erected at the

    school on Monday 29 April, sponsored by Pe-

    ter Tychsen, owner of Sign-a-Rama, Somerset

    West.

    According toThompson, the staff identified

    theGrade 1s as the groupwho couldmost ben-

    efit from the additional help of an assistant

    in the classroom.

    At this school more than 40 pupils are ac-

    commodated per classroom.

    In 2012, Wedderwill stakeholders, the Wed-

    The Stellenbosch-based pianist Megan-Ge-

    offrey Prins has been accepted for further

    piano studies at the prestigious Cleveland

    Institute ofMusic (CIM) inAmericaandal-

    so awarded a half scholarship for his stud-

    ies under Prof Antonio Pompa-Baldi.

    In order to cover the rest of his study fees

    at this private music school, Prins will host a

    fundraising recital in the St Andrews Church

    inGreenPoint,CapeTownonSaturday11May.

    Because the CIM is a private institution,

    they do not offer full scholarships. I will still

    have to pay the rest of my tuition fees myself.

    Besides the coming solo recital on Saturday,

    I amgoing to entermore competitions andwill

    apply to music trusts for funding. All this will

    enable me to fulfil this dream, and Ill be able

    rience, Prins says.

    ersdale, has won prizes at several of themajor

    music competitions in SouthAfrica. In 2011 he

    was awarded the second prize overall in the

    Unisa National Piano Competition, and won

    theprize for thebest SouthAfrican competitor

    at the 2012Unisa International PianoCompeti-

    tion.

    "USINESS

    Retirement income: part 2

    of2,9%,most investorshaveinsufficientcapital topro-

    vide for their incomeneeds. Textbook investment the-

    ory advises against holding all your wealth in one as-

    set class, particularly shares, as they can

    be extremely volatile.

    However, income-dependent investors

    living off dividends should not concern

    themselves about volatility as their in-

    come should be unaffected by share price

    movements, and providing shares are not

    sold during a down market, paper losses

    can be tolerated.

    Unfortunately in real life, investors

    usually panic when the share price falls

    and thus sell their shares at theworst pos-

    sible time, losing not only their capital,

    but their source of tax efficient income as

    well.

    Well,whats the answer?Unfortunately

    there isno one shoe fit all solution; each

    investorhasunique requirements,which

    need to be taken into account by a professional finan-

    cial advisor. There are some investment principals,

    which, when applied correctly, will ensure a tax effi-

    cient secure income stream for life. Next week I will

    discusstheuseofatimehorizonapproachtoprovide

    for income and manage risk.

    Continuing from last weeks article on Turning

    capital savings into income for the purpose of re-

    tiring, let us look at a share (equity) portfolio.

    Shares produce income in the form of

    dividends. Not all companies pay divi-

    dends to their investors; some companies

    elect toratherretainearnings forreinvest-

    ment in the business.

    In theory by retaining profits and rein-

    vesting in the business, the business will

    grow and the value of the shares will in-

    crease. This is great for an investor with

    a growth focus, but not suitable for an in-

    vestor who requires income. An investor

    requiring incomewill select shares on the

    basisof theirpastandexpected futuredivi-

    dend distributions.

    Thereare twomajoradvantagesofusing

    a share portfolio to produce income. First-

    ly dividend growth; companies strive to

    grow their dividends in excess of inflation each year.

    So in theory the investors income escalates in line

    with inflation or better. Keep in mind that of the four

    asset classes cash, bonds, property, equity only

    property and equity have the ability to grow their in-

    come. The second advantage is tax; dividends are

    taxed at a flat rate of 15%.

    Well, whats the catch? A source of income taxed

    at 15%, which grows in line with inflation or better

    is surely the answer to everybodys need for income.

    Yes and no! With a current average dividend yield

    Importantly, this return has been achieved

    at less than 64% (asmeasured by standard de-

    viation) of the risk of the All Share Index, a

    remarkablestatisticandproofof theeffective-

    ness of the flexible strategy and mandate.

    Currently the fund isparticularlywell posi-

    tioned where the manager has been able to

    buy shares in a number of superb companies

    teamswhichhave proven to be effective stew-

    ards of capital, and which can be acquired at

    an attractive margin of safety.

    The fund is attracted to compa-

    nies where the companies man-

    agement are significant share-

    holders. Currently in 20 out of the

    30 shares held in the fund at the

    end of March 2013 the companies

    are run by management with a

    large shareholding in them, or

    where a large strategic share-

    holder exists.

    This is the best way to ensure

    that the interests of the investor

    are alignedwith those of the com-

    pany and its management. In the

    same vein, the fundmanager and

    his team are co-investors in the

    PSG flexible fund as they believe

    in the strategy of the fund. As

    someone once remarked, one of the biggest

    comforts of flying is that the pilot is also on

    board.

    Since 1 November 2004 this fund has pro-

    duced an annual return of 18,1% per year (to

    31March2013)which isover95%of thereturn

    of the JSE All Share Index (net of all fees and

    costs).

    ThePSGflexible fund,managedbyJannie

    Mouton as far back as 2004, is a true

    wealth-creation product aimed at inves-

    tors who have a medium- to

    long-term investment horizon

    andwhowish tohave exposure

    to the equitymarkets, butwith

    managed risk levels.

    The beauty of a flexible man-

    date is that the manager has al-

    most no restrictions when it

    comes to decidingwhich assets to

    hold in the fund fromtime to time.

    This enables him to provide the

    investorswithawideopportunity

    set of companies to invest in, but

    also to be able to stay away from

    trouble when appropriate. Jan

    has a track record of making the

    rightdecisions indifficultmarket

    conditions. Capital preservation is a very im-

    portant objective.

    Investors in this fund get exposure to com-

    panies in South Africa - and abroad which

    meet PSG asset managements stringent in-

    vestment criteria. In terms of our investment

    philosophywe look for companies with a sus-

    tainable competitive advantage, managed by

    which were trading at highly attractive lev-

    els. Traditionally, this has been a strong pre-

    dictor of good returns in the past.
