Van die mees indrukwekkende planne is ondermeer die oprigting van ’n brandweerstasie inHankey teen ’n koste van R1 miljoen. Die tendervir die bou van die brandweerstasie sal later diemaand uitgaan. Permanente werksgeleenthede virses brandweermanne sal hierdeur geskep word.

Meer as R1.2 miljoen sal aan toerusting vir bibli-oteke gaan om sodoende die diens aan die gemeen-skap te verbeter. Die eerste besending van toerus-ting teen ’n koste van R487 000 is reeds uit op ten-der. ’n Tydelike struktuur sal verder in Thornhillopgerig word, sodat inwoners daar ook toegang tot’n biblioteek sal hê.

Kouga inwoners kan ook uitsien na ’n nuwepolisiestasie in St. Francisbaai, ’n nuwe laerskoolin Sea Vista, ’n hoërskool vir Jeffreysbaai en ver-beterde polisie-barakke by Hankey.

Daar word verder beoog om die ontwikkelingvan volhoubare, lewendige en billike landelike ge-meenskappe te fasiliteer. Landbou-hervorming salbespoedig word deur die bou van agri-dorpies metvolhoubare toegang tot bekostigbare en diversevoedsel.

Om die beskikbaarheid van werk te verhoog en

MONIQUE BASSON

A HEATED debate surrounds thedraft budget that was approved incouncil last week.

According to municipal spokes-person, Laura-Leigh Randall, coun-cil approved a draft operating budgetof just more than R517 million for2012/2013 at a meeting in JeffreysBay on March 28.

DA Caucus leader, councillorChimpie Cawood, lashed out at thisstatement, saying: “The DA Caucuswish to put on record that the2012/2013 budget was not approved atthe council meeting on March 28, butreferred to a workshop for furtherdiscussion.”

According to Cawood, the printedbudget that was presented at Councilwas unsuprisingly a carbon copy oflast year’s unrealistic budget, withonly the figures updated.

“This is the very same budgetcaned by the Auditor General andwhich Kouga itself admits as beingflawed,” said Cawood.

He proposed that Council meet ata workshop to consider the submis-sions from the DA, as well as thosefrom the public, and come up with aproper budget to “save Kouga” fromits perilous financial position.

“Elza van Lingen, MP for Kouga

supports the DA proposal for a workshop before approval of the draftbudget. Too often in the past propo-sals and preconditions by the DA be-fore acceptance of the budget havebeen ignored by the ANC. The current‘dire financial position’ is exactly theoutcome of such foolish arrogance.This workshop should happen beforethe public participation meetings areheld in each ward. Kouga Council hasits back to the wall and it is essentialthe governingparty shouldnow listento reason before destroying Kougacompletely,” said Cawood.

Randall said: “The municipalitystands by the media release, whichwas issued after the meeting atwhich the draft budget was adopted.Please note, that both the article andheadline in the Kouga Express clear-ly state that it was the ‘draft budget’that was approved. The ‘draft’ is notthe final document. It is a workingdocument.

“For the IDP and budget workshopand public meetings to take place,there must be an official workingdocument. This is why Council firstadopts a ‘draft budget’ which thenserves as the official working docu-ment. Without the draft, these proc-esses cannot take place.

“The media release, as issued bythe municipality is, therefore, cor-rect and can also be viewed on thewebsite at www.kouga.gov.za.”

Draft budget:approved or not?

KOUGA residents are invited toparticipate in the finalisation ofthe municipality’s budget for2012/2013 and the new five-year In-tegrated Development Plan (IDP)for 2012 to 2017.

Public meetings will be held forall 15 wards to allow the public tointeract with the municipality’spolitical and administrative lea-dership around the draft budgetand draft IDP, which were ap-proved by Council on March 28.

The schedule of meetings, allstarting at 6pm, is as follows:, 10 April: Sea Vista CommunityHall (Ward 12) and Thornhill Com-

munity Hall (Ward 7), 11 April: Newton Hall (Wards 3,8 and 11) and Loerie CommunityHall (Ward 7), 12 April: Kruisfontein CivicCentre (Wards 4 and 5) and DanSandhi Community Hall (Ward 10), 16 April: Pellsrus CommunityHall (Ward 2) and Weston Commu-nity Hall (Ward 13), 17 April: Tokyo Sexwale Sports-field (Ward15) andVusumziLanduHall (Ward 9), 18 April: Lungiso School Hall(Ward 6), 19 April: Tokyo Sexwale Sports-field (Ward 14)

The draft budget and draft IDPwill be available for inspectionduring office hours at municipaloffices, ward councillor’s officesand libraries from April 4. All in-terested parties are invited to pe-ruse and comment on the docu-ments. Inputs much reach the Of-fice of the Municipal Manager byno later than May 5, 2012.

VERA SCHOEMAN

DRIE Oos-Kapenaars krap kop oordieselfde “vreemde wit lig soos ’nbol brandende gas” wat hulleMaandagaand op die horison bo-kant Patensie gewaar het.

Fritz Crous (55) van Jeffreys-baai het dit eerste gesien toe hyomstreeks 7.30nm. op sy balkongestaan het. Hy het vir omtrenttien minute na dié vreemde ver-skynsel gestaar voordat hy sy vrougaan roep het. “Sy was net so ver-

baas. Ek het met my verkyker ookgekyk en dit het kompleet gelyk ofdie buiterante liggies vibreer engloei,” vertel Crous.

Hy het Hannes Vermaak, syskoonseun op Patensie, gebel endié het ook dieselfde lig baie duide-lik gesien. Vermaak het op sy beurt’n vriend met ’n geweerteleskoopwat voorwerpe 42 keer naderbring, Retief Ferreira, gebel.

Ferreira sê hy het omstreeks8nm. begin kyk en onmiddellik diehelder lig raakgesien. Hy beskryfdit as iets wat gelyk het na “ ’n

kleinerige sonnetjie met ’n oranje-rooi gloed” wat noord-noordwesvan Patensie in die lug gehang het.

Ná omtrent 20 minute het dievoorwerp stadig begin afsak en so-wat 15 grade bokant die horisonraaiselagtig verdwyn. “Dis die eer-ste keer in my 42 jaar op aarde datek so-iets sien. Ek sal graag wouweet wat dit was,” aldus Ferreira.

Volgens ’n woordvoerder vandie Weerdiens in Port Elizabethhet niemand ’n vreemde verskyn-sel in die lug aangemeld nie en hethulle ook niks gewaar nie.

MARISKA SPOORMAKER

IEWERS in die Jeffreysbaai-di-strik skuil daar ’n stroper van ’nveselglasrenoster . . . .

In Sondag se nanag het hy die weer-lose dier uit haar voetstuk geruk, nabuite gesleep, haar horings afgekapen met sy buit in die donker nag ver-dwyn.

Daglig Maandagoggend het SusanLottering, mede-eienaar van die Lom-bardini-wildreservaat, hul geskendedier – Barendina is haar naam – aan-skou.

Sy vertel hoe haar gemoedstoe-stand tussen verbasing, woede engroot lag gewissel het.

Maandag kon jy ook nie “veselglas-renosterhoring” vir enige van Lom-bardini se personeel sê nie, of dit het

geklink asof die hiënas losgelaat is, sóis daar gelag.

Maar tussendeur word daar ernstiggewonder of dit horingkoors of win-gerdgriep was wat die “stroper” senaam sot gemaak het.

Of die twee gemeng, meen Lotter-ing.

“Die inbreker was seker agter geldaan en toe hy dit nie kon kry nie, hethy gaan kyk watter lafenis die kroegkan bied.”

Soos dit vir hulle lyk, “het ta net ’npaar happe straw rum en likeur gevat,en toe sy oë na die renosterhoringopgeslaan.

“Hy moes iewers gehoor het dit isiets werd, want hierna was dit hy endie renoster. Dit terwyl daar nog ’nkas vol brandewyn en rum was,” hetLottering verder vertel.

Toe sy die polisie bel, het sy dit netinbraak genoem. “Ek was bang as ek

sê renosterstroping, hullemyvanvalsklagtes of so iets sou aankla.

“Maar hulle kon ook nie hul oë glotoe hulle Barendina sonder haar ho-rings daar sien lê het nie.”

Die skade aan Barendina is te groot,hulle sal haar moet vervang,” hetmnr. Johan Lottering, mede-eienaar,opgemerk.

“Daar is geen hoop vir rehabilitasienie.”

Dis nogal jammer, want Barendinais uit die afgietsel van die eerste(werklike) renosterkoei in die reser-vaat geskep.

Maar Barendina was verseker en ’nnuwe veselglasrenoster - met al tweehorings in plek - sal in haar plek ver-rys.SIn Oktober verlede jaar het Lombar-dini sy tien witrenosters onthoringom hulle teen ’n moontlike stroper-marteldood te beskerm.

Stroper met vals horing gekul

Dit moes óf horingkoors óf wingerdgriepgewees het watgemaak het datBarendina, veselglasrenoster van Jeffreysbaai, ook haar horingsaan ’n stroper moesafstaan. SusanLottering, medeeienaar van die Lombardininatuurreservaat,sit by haar geskendeBarendina.Foto: WERNER HILLS

THE Property Poser panel is of-ten asked to deal with the sensi-tive issue of boundary walls be-tween neighbours.

This week one of our readersshares her distress over the state ofthe vibacrete wall that divides herproperty from her neighbours’.

Some of the panels are broken ormissing but the neighbours are notin a financial position to make anykind of repairs to the wall.

The reader is concerned that if

she builds a new wall, the neigh-bours will simply break down theexisting one and benefit from its re-placement.

She is also not keen to build thewall on her property only, feelingthat the neighbours will gain an un-fair advantage from this in thattheir garden area will be increasedby the boundary shift.

Herman Pieterse from Jan VisserAttorneys in Jeffreys Bay says thereader has touched on a critical as-pect relating to boundary walls. “It

is very important to determine onwhose property the wall is situa-ted.”

If the boundary markers are notvisible, a surveyor may be called into determine on whose property thewall lies, says Pieterse.

“If a wall is situated on only oneof the properties, it will be thatowner’s full responsibility to main-tain and repair it.”

It is equally possible, Pietersesays, that the wall may straddleboth properties.

crete one or hold her neighbours ac-countable for half the cost, says Wan-da Hayes from Huizemark JeffreysBay.

“Generally, as each owner bene-fits from the existence of a boundarywall, it has become commonplace forneighbours to take care of the sidefacing their property.”

Hayes says such care usuallyamounts to minor repairs and possi-bly the painting of the wall from timeto time.

“A more cost-effective option in

YOUR PROPERTY QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Rebuilding boundaries between neighboursPROPERTY POSER: ASK THE EXPERTS

Wanda Hayes

Herman Pieterse“Should the wall be jointly

owned by both neighbours,this would mean that eachwould be obliged to contributeto the maintenance and re-pairs.”

Pieterse says an owner can,however, refuse to contributeto the cost of an unreasonablyexpensive new wall.

This means that the readermay not necessarily insistthat a brick wall be erected inplace of the existing vibra-

this instance may therefore be tolook at repairing the existing walland replacing the missing panels,even if the defaulting neighbour isnot in a position to contribute.”

This offers a middle-ground solu-tion as the reader will most definite-ly benefit from the newly mendedwall, says Hayes.

“This also removes the expense ofa new wall and the associated loss ofgarden area.”

MONIQUE BASSON

DIE rustigheid en kalmte wat ’nmens ervaar wanneer jy in die natu-ur is, is kenmerkend aan hom. Dit isasof ’n kokon van strelende stilheid’n mens omvou.

Die groot venster in sy kamer hetgeen kantgordyne nie en bied ’n pa-noramiese uitsig op die oop vlaktesen wilde diertjies en voëls wat in dielang gras baljaar.

En dit is presies waar ek Gawievan der Walt aangetref het toe ek virhom gaan kuier het: in sy gemaklike

stoel voor die venster met sy kameraen verkyker nie te ver van hom nie.

Oom Gawie het twee jaar gelede syintrek by Jeffreysrus Aftreeoord inJeffreysbaai geneem. Oorspronklikvan Kempton Park, het hy vir sy se-un in Jeffreysbaai kom kuier, maarsoos die noodlot dit wou hê, of in diegeval eerder die geluk, het hy met sybesoek sy been gebreek en toe som-mer besluit om hier te bly.

Op 82-jarige ouderdom is OomGawie nie meer vandag se kind nie,maar sy oë blink nog helder van le-wenslus en sy hande beweeg opge-wonde soos hy meer vertel oor sy pas-sie vir die natuur en neem van foto’s,

asook staaltjies van sy kleurrykeverlede.

“Al van kleintyd af het ek ’n‘liefdesverhouding’ met die natuuren foto’s. Dit is nie sommer net ’nstorie nie, want met elke druk vandie kamera se knoppie raak diéliefde net sterker en die meeste fo-to’s wat ek neem is van die nauur.Dit is seker maar omdat ek in dieKaroo groot geword het,” verteloom Gawie met heimwee in system.

“Ek ag myself beslis nie ’n pro-fessionele fotograaf nie. Nee,maar dit is ’n passie en daar hetbyna nie ’n dag verby gegaan watek nie foto’s geneem het nie.”

Die laaste foto’s wat hy ge-neem het, en ’n ere plek op symuur beklee, is ’n stille getuievan sy passie en toewyding.

Vir die laaste 12 maande, hetoom Gawie getrou voor sy ven-ster gesit en wag vir die per-fekte oomblik om die kleure-prag van die sonsondergangsoos wat die seisoene veran-der, op film vas te lê. Herfs-,winter-, lente- en somer-sons-ondergang foto’s - die beginen einde van ’n seisoen.

“Die seisoene verander opdie 21ste van elke derdemaand, en ek het besluit omdié gebeurtenis op kameravas te lê. Die vier foto’s isonderskeidelik vanuit my

kamervenster geneem in Maart, Ju-nie, September en Desember,” verteloom Gawie.

Oom Gawie teken ook elke dag diemaksimum en minimum tempera-ture van die dag in sy swartboekieaan. “Ek is al van kleins af baie liefvir die weer. Ek het Petrusville in dieKaroo tussen boere, wat die weer fyndophou vir reën, groot geword. Asdie miere begin kos bymekaar maaken die boerbokke begin speel, danweet jy daar is reën oppad.”

Dit vat oom Gawie nie lank om syaktetas met al sy foto’s uit die kas tehaal nie. Hy waarsku my dat dit ’npaar dae sal neem om deur al die fo-to’s te gaan, daarom sal hy net so ’npaar vir my uithaal.

Terwyl hy die een foto na die anderte voorskyn bring, ontvou brokkiesvan sy lewensverhaal.

“Ek was nooit baie lief vir skoolnie, en het sommer al vroeg aan ’nplangedinkhoe ekdit kanvryspring.Wat beter verskoning is daar as omby die weermag aan te sluit. Albeteken dit nou dat ek myself tweejaar ouer mos jok,” vertel ’n laggendeoom Gawie.

So het dit toe gekom dat hy op 13-jarige ouderdom op 24 Maart 1944, 22dae voor sy 14de verjaarsdag, by dieTweede Wêreldoorlog aangesluithet.

“Ek het die voorreg gehad om tweekeer op erewag te wees. Ek dink ditwas te danke aan al die ekstradrilwerk wat ek moes doen omdat mybed nooit netjies opgemaak en myklere nie perfek opgevou was nie, diedat ek later so perfek kon dril,” hetGawie skertsend gesê.

Op 16-jarige ouderdom het hy as ’ngewonde arbeider wat die toilettemoes skoon hou, by die SpoorweëSuid-Transvaal beginwerk. In 1946 is hy na DeAar as bode bevorder enin 1990 het hy as seniortegniese super-inten-dent afgetree. “Nie slegvir iemand wat nie eersstandard 6 (graad 8)agter sy naam het nie,”aldus oom Gawie.

Twee jaar na sy af-trede is hy terug spoor-weë toe as ’n siviele kon-sultant.

Oom Gawie was ookalombekendvir sy liefd-adigheidswerk in die ge-meenskap.

“Ek verlang baie nadie tyd toe ek mense seharte met iets te ete of ’nbybel kon verbly het,maar ek is nou te oudom met die liefdadig-heidswerk aan te gaan.Dit is wonderlik om joumedemens te kan help,en die Here hou baiedaarvan. Dit is altemithoekom ons hier is,” sê

hy.Sal oom Gawie ooit weer wil terug

trek Kempton Park toe?“Nee, beslis nie. Ek bly verskriklik

lekker hier en die personeel, onderdie bestuur van die uiters bekwamesuster Mary de Beer en bestuurderKosie Griesel, is van die beste envriendelikste wat ek tot nog toeontmoet het. Hulle gaan uit hulle padom dinge hier vir ons so aangenaammoontlik te maak en hou ook gereeldfunksies vir ons bejaardes.”

Oom Gawie is die trotse pa van vyfkinders: Kosie, Jannie, Gawie,Tjaart en Loureen. Sy sesde kind,Renier - vernoem na die bekendeVolksblad rubriekskrywer in die be-gin van die sestiger jare, is op ’nvroeë ouderdom oorlede. Sy eerstevrou, Rina, is in 1997 oorlede en An-natjie, sy tweede vrou, is in 2007oorlede. Oral is sy kamer pryk foto’svan sy familie.

Net voor ek by die deur uitstap,druk hy een van sy foto’s in my hand- een van sy kosbaarste besittings..

Top Baristas, Percy Chikwira and Belinda Ruiters, represented the EasternCape at the National Barista Championships in Cape Town where they gainedvaluable experience in the art of brewing the perfect cup of coffee.

Gawie van der Walt het ’n groot liefde vir foto’s en die natuur. Die afgelope jaar

het hy elke sonsondergang met die veranding van seisoene die 21ste van elke

derde maand vanuit sy kamervensters by Pellsrus Aftreeoord in Jeffreysbaai op

film vasgelê. Nicoleen en Loftie Genecke het die foto’s en teks vir hom geraam.

the championship and did not re-alise just how much you neededto know. It is frustrating becauseit is really easy to mess up,” Per-cy, who uses coffee and foam tocreate everything from hearts toleaves, admits.

“There is so much more behindthat perfect blend of coffee thatyou serve to a customer. Creatingthe perfect cup of coffee you mustknow the process in detail fromstart to finish - from the harvest-ing of the coffee beans, to theroasting and the processing ofthe beans. It is vital that we mustequip ourselves with this know-ledge.”

Determined to do just that, Per-cy and Belinda will soon embarkon a skill-enriching tour wherethey will be visiting coffee farmsin Tzaneen and get hands on ex-perience.

At this year’s Barista Competi-tion in July their roles will be re-versed as Percy will act as a judgeat the regional round, while Be-linda will be one of the co-ordina-tors.

Now they are hoping that theirskills, as well as the skills theywill gain over the next year, willhelp them triumph at the BaristaChampionship in 2013.

MONIQUE BASSON

THE secret of a great cup of cof-fee is time, patience, practiceand most important ofall . . . knowledge.

So say experts Percy Chikwiraand Belinda Ruiters, who havejust returned from Cape Townwhere they competed againstover 200 other contenders in theNational Barista Championshipsin the quest of brewing the per-fect cup of coffee.

Although they did not make itthrough to the final round inBrasil, they are grateful for thevaluable experience they havegained through being able to takepart in the competition.

At the regional round in Au-gust last year, Belinda won theaward for the best cuppiccinoand Percy walked away with theaward for the best espresso andwas also crowned the EasternCape Champion. Together theyclaimed the prizes for the bestcompany representation andpresentation.

They are the very first con-tenders from the Eastern Cape tohave made it through to the na-tional round.

Percy and Belinda are special-ists in the art of coffee making,from grinding, infusion and fla-vouring to trendy latté art. Theyperfected the art when they start-ed working at InFood in JeffreysBay some years ago and can nowboast that they are two of the topbaristas in the Eastern Cape.They make countless cups of cof-fee each week and each one is achance to develop their skillseven more.

Wie het ooit daaraan gekom om plakboek-werk vervelig of ’n mors van tyd te noem. Want kyk ’n mens na diemeer as 30 plakboek-entoesiaste wat die naweek op die Equinox Winkelsentrum toegesak het, is dit eintlik baietalentvolle mense wat borrel van energie en lewenslus. Die grooste plakboekwinkel in Suid-Afrika, Bohemian Scrapso-dy, het die naweek ’n “Scrap-Away at Jeffreyes Bay” aangebied.
