Bot River: more questionsJANINE VAN DER RIET

Two people were arrested for arson andthe police put on high alert after violenceonce again reared its head in Bot Riveryesterday (Monday) morning.

According to police, a Somali shop ownerwas robbed of his television and his houseshop set alight while about 30 residentsprowled the streets in groups in the earlyhours of Monday morning. They also triedto set fire to twouninhabitedhousesbetweenthe first and second housing project sectionsin Bot River. The fire brigade was on thescene before the houses could be damaged.

The group is believed to have been madeup of former members of the dissolved BotRiver Residents’ Association (BRA), whosemembers have been continually protestingin the area since May this year.

The protest has captured much attentionin the media – and raised controversial spec-ulation around the driving forces behind it.

By the time of going to print, two local men

who were reported to have been involved indriving the illegal protests had not spokento Gazette about their involvement, orwhether the protests are politically moti-vated to turn the DA-run Bot River into anungovernable town so the ANC could step in.

James Pheiffer, former chairperson of theBRA, dissolved the organisation after a CapeTown–baseddailynewspaperreportedonhispast associations with the ANC. Pheiffer re-portedly stood as an ANC candidate in the2011 local government elections.

Anthony Appel, in his turn, is listed atnumber 23 on the ANC’s provincial legisla-ture list in 1999, and a newspaper report fromthatyearquoteshimastheregionalchairper-son of the ANC Overberg region.

Neither commented on whether they werestill involved with the ANC.

A Theewaterskloof Gazette reporter re-ceived an SMS from Appel’s cellphone onSunday 24 June informing her of the nextday’s protest. Sent in Afrikaans, it read, “Weare having a service delivery protest in BotRiver tomorrow. Anthony.”

According to the Theewaterskloof Munici-pality, last week’s protest was illegal as noattempt had been made to inform the munici-pality of any grievances, and neither didTWK give permission for a protest.

Stiffie Cronjé, spokesperson for the munic-ipality, said that before last week’s protestserupted, resolutions between the BRA andthe TWK had been discussed and that every-one was in agreement at that stage.

“We had meetings with the BRA, the na-tional Department of Cooperative Govern-ance and Traditional Affairs and councillorsof the TWK, and then compiled and signedthe document, containing 42 issues from theBRA, with resolutions from TWK.”

The BRA was dissolved before it could signthe document.

Appel told Gazette on Thursday, while hewas in Johannesburg, that he and Pheifferwould answer the newspaper’s written ques-tions before deadline yesterday morning.

He said Pheiffer was in hospital for seriousasthma – possibly related to pepper sprayused during the protests – and that they

would put a report together on Saturday.Gazette is still awaiting their response.Some of the questions raised were:) Why was the BRA dissolved?) According to the Theewaterskloof Mu-

nicipality, no new memorandum or noticewas given for the protest last Monday. Is thistrue? What was the latest protest about, andareyoustillplanningtogiveanewmemoran-dum to council?

) MrAppel, SMSeswere sent out thenightbefore last Monday’s protest from your tele-phone to inform, among others, a journalistabout the protest. In which capacity did yousend this?

) What is the current and future positionof the BRA? Is it disbanded? If so, why? Anddo you have plans to reinstate it?

During an urgent media conference heldlast week by the TWK council, Mayor ChrisPunt said the municipality “absolutely re-fuses” to believe the protests are related toa service delivery issue.

“Rather, it is a commitment to make Thee-waterskloof Municipality ungovernable.”

Die kontrak vir die bou van die nuwe inkopie-sentrum is verlede week oorgegee aan die bou-er, Pieter Stemmet, eienaar van Stemmet Bou-ers.

Dairy farmers in panic oversudden reduction in priceDAVID ENGELBRECHT

A significant reduction in payment formilk offered to farmers by one of SouthAfrica’s largestpurchasershas farmersseriously worried about their future.

The move by Dairybelle last week – to re-duce its purchasing price to farmers by be-tween 50c and 70c a litre – has even beendescribed as “a blatant slap in the face”.

Dairybellemade theannouncementof itsprice reduction last week. Farmers havetried to kick against it, but those Gazettespoke to were not willing to have theirnames published for fear of being targetedand having partnerships run aground.

One farmer said their hands had alreadybeen “cut off”, and that they could not af-ford further damage to relationships.

DeanKleynhans, chairpersonof theMilkProducers’ Organisation (MPO), says that,according to the information at the organi-sation’s disposal, “this sudden price reduc-tion is counter-cyclic and not in line withprevailing market trends”.

According to Bertus de Jongh, a memberof the MPO, the purchaser justified its deci-sion on the basis of there being too muchmilk at present.

“This does not line up with our figuresand information, and therefore we are ob-jecting,” he says.

Jacques Fourie, CEO of Dairybell, con-firms that the company has reduced themoney it is willing to pay for milk. “A bal-ance needs to be brought again into theprices,” he says.

“Thepriceofmilkhasrisenconsiderablyin the past year [April 2011 to April 2012],

far above the inflation rate. Daily milk pro-duction has increased, but the demand hasnot increased to the same measure.”

Kleynhans, however, says milk farmershave come out of a very bad time in whichprices were at exceptionally low levels foralmost four years.

“Producerpricesonly startedrecoveringagain from November 2011. In addition,producers are caught in a serious strangle-hold on account of continuous increases inthe price of feed, fuel and electricity.”

He says the increases in prices fromNovemberdidnot take theprice to the levelthat overseas farmers are receiving fortheir milk.

De Jongh says farmers are very worriedabout their future, while Kleynhans addsthat the price reduction could force somemilk producers out of the market, with a

resulting direct impact on food security.A Boland farmer who wanted to remain

anonymous says the price reduction is ablatant “slap in the face”.

“The way I feel now, us producers havelittle hope.” He says fellow farmers aredeeply disappointed and are kickingagainst the price reduction.

“If we do not stand together against this,they will just get us under.”

The MPO advises those farmers who aredirectly affected by this price decrease toget in touchwithoneof themanyotherbuy-ers who are currently urgently looking foradditional milk.

Kleynhans says the MPO is busy with ne-gotiations with the concerned parties, andwill negotiate up to the highest level formilk producers, “to ensure the sustainabil-ity of the dairy industry in South Africa”.

Booswigte beroof talle mense van hul selfo-ne, geld en ander besittings, maar lt. CyrilCoetze, Caledon se polisiewoordvoerder, sêsy stasie het geen verslae van roof in dié ge-bied ontvang nie.

Jossie Vollenhoven het gesê sedert Trans-net die tralie-omheining rondom die stasieopgerig het, kan mense nie meer oor die sta-sie-terrein loop nie en moet hulle ’n groot om-pad volg om tot by die dorp te kom.

Al die ligte in die duikweg is deur vandalegebreek en dis uiters onveilig vir inwonersom daardeur te stap.

Meryl Pretorius, senior bestuurder korpo-ratiewe sake by Transnet, sê Transnet neemdie saak ernstig op en die ligte in die duikwegsal voor Vrydag 13 Julie herstel woed.

Sy sê Transnet gaan die duikweg ook verfen skoonmaak voor die einde van Julie, enverseker samewerking met die SAPD om dieduikweg veiliger te maak.

Skills database launchedThe Building Industry Bargaining Council(BIBC)of theCapeofGoodHopeis launchingits skills database, a strategy designed to re-tain theskills of thoseemployeesconsideredto be unemployed within the building andconstructionindustry.Withanannual tradeturnover of up to 45%, the need to maintainthis intelligence is critical.

The entire database comprises close to500 000 employees’ records, dating back to1983, and is the result of years of IT develop-ment. The information captured within thedatabase is available, free of charge, to allcompliant employers to ensure that theyhave access to the skills that are lacking atanypoint in time, and fromwhich the indus-try as a whole can benefit. “We have on aver-age about 800 compliant employers at anygiventime,andweareonceagainrewardingthose employers who subscribe to good cor-porate governance,” says Arnold Williams,secretary for theBuilding IndustryBargain-ing Council (Cape of Good Hope).

Non-compliant contractors will not beable to access these critical skills and will

therefore be at a disadvantage.The database is a comprehensive record,

focusing on all artisan and semi-skilledtrades. In addition to these, other employ-ment categories, such as drivers, generalworkers, labourers and cleaners, are in-cluded. The details of between 8 000 and10 000 employees, who are considered to beunemployed over a rolling 12-month period,will include name, trade category, addressand contact telephone number.

The one thing the council will not be abletoconfirmisthecompetencyoftheindividual.

“Compliant employers will have their re-quirements emailed to them as soon as theymake the request online,” concludesWilliams.

Once the service is live, all compliant em-ployers have to do is to log on to the BIBCwebsite, select the “Labour Bureau” tab andfollow the relevant instructions.

Ifyouare thinkingofbuilding,ensure thatyour contractor is compliant with the BIBCby logging onto www.bibc.co.za or phoningthe council’s offices on 0 021 950 7400.

A landmark agreementSenior members of Agri Mega recently re-turned from Argentina, having spent aweek with leading agriculture stake-holders in the grain, dairy, livestock, feedand technology sectors.

Group executive director Orton King re-turned greatly excited at the “vast possibili-ties of interaction and opportunities that pre-sented themselves”.

“We met with the executive management ofAgroActiva – one of Argentina and SouthAmerica’s biggest agriculture-expoanddevel-opment businesses, which offers a plethora ofagri-opportunities for both the commercialand the small-scale farming sectors, as wellas the various commodity organisations,”King says.

And the “selfless gesture” of the Argentini-ans, who he says are prepared to partner withAfrica in sustainable projects, incorporatingtheir cutting-edge agricultural technologyand experience, is “really phenomenal”.

This comes in the wake of the joint-ventureagreement recently concluded between the

Agri Mega Group and World Trade CentreAfrica. The agreement is set to make a contri-bution to Africa’s journey toward becomingthe food hub of the world.

Orton King (executive director of the Agri Mega Group)and Luis Nardi (president of AgroActiva, Argentina)shake hands after concluding the formal agreementbetween the two companies.

Questions needanswers

The “service delivery” theme continues inBotRiver,but thisweekourfrontpagearticleraises more questions than answers.

Service delivery needs earnest attentionfrom all levels of government and at timesresidents confuse the three tiers of govern-ment with one another, demanding housingor schools from a local authority when thesecan be provincial or national governmentfunctions.

Assertions that the recent protests in BotRiver were based on political motivationsrather than true service delivery concernshave informed the local authority’s responseto the protests. But community leaders whopreviously chose to speak on behalf of resi-dents this week failed to respond to pertinentquestions from the Gazette, and thus far havealsonotprovidedthe localauthoritywithfur-ther clarity on protesters’ grievances.

But if the grievances are indeed still aboutservice delivery, we should be worried ifpromises were made and not kept.

It is essential, though, that servicedeliveryconcerns are communicated to the correctauthorities and that opportunities to engagewith these authorities areused for thebetter-ment of service from government.

Surely this is what the protesters desire?

Ons bure se dogtertjie is in graad6; as u my portuur is, beteken ditstanderd 4. Ek het met Sub A enB grootgeword en sukkel om diegraderegteverstaan.Diemagvangewoonte is ’n verdomde ding.

Terug egter by ons bure se kind.Sy is ’n akademiese uitblinker ensó ver voor haar maatjies dat syeerste, tweede en derde in haarklas behoort te staan. Onlangs hetsy ’n uitsonderlike akademieseprestasie behaal. Vir ’n slag is sybeloon en kon sy R1 000 se boekeby ’n voorste boekhandelaar aan-skaf. Verlede Saterdag is die voor-treflike kind en haar ouers stadtoe,wantdiekoopbewysbrandtoe

al, by wyse van spreke natuurlik,’n gat in die baadjiesak.

Dieaandwalssymet ’nsplinter-nuwe Handwoordeboek van dieAfrikaanse taal (HAT) by ons in.Ek sê altyd vir haar: Writing is myname and words are my game, ensy kon nie wag om met die boekte kom spog nie. Sy, én die boekin haar hande; die kombinasievan die twee had my skoon oor-stelp en net my broer se orige op-merking van “gans te volwassevir haar ouderdom” keer dat ek ’ntraan pik. Sy weet woorde is mybeste vriende en sy weet hoe ekelkeen van die vier uitgawes vandie HAT, wat ek oor jare versamelhet,koester.Dusmóéssyhaareer-ste HAT net gou kom wys. Eintlik

moet sy “waai”, sê sy, want haarma sê sy (die dogtertjie) is moegen sy moet eet, bad en gaan slaap.Daar is darem ’n wyle vir ons omdie boek oop te slaan en te bewon-der. Sy, ek, en die boek sorg toevir ’n lekker kuier wat uitkringtoe haar ouers haar kom soek.

Haar verhaal laat my na myAfrikaanse onderwyser verlang.Hy het destyds gesê dit verg ’n be-sonderse talentom’nwoordeboekreg te gebruik. Omdat ek meestalingedagte is as ek woorde nasoek,het ek nie die talent bemeesternie. My soektog na woorde duurgans te lank. Ek verduidelik virhaar sy moet die boek toevou assy ’n woord soek. Sy moet sit endie boek se rugkant op haar been

laat rus. Die blaaikant moet nahaar gesig kyk. Sy moet haar han-de sóaanweerskantevandieboekplaas dat haar duime by die buite-blaaie indruk. Dan moet sy mikwaar die letter is waarmee diewoord begin. As sy na “ronke-door” soek, mik sy dus na die “r”en moet sy na skatting die boeksowat driekwart oopmaak. As syby die “r” is moet sy skat waar die“ro” is en so na as moontlik aandie bladsy (948 as dit die maroenHAT is) oopmaak.

Terloops, “ronkedoor” beteken’n knorrige ou olifantbul; dus ook’n grommende ou oom.

In my dae aan die UniversiteitStellenbosch het ek die gebouwaar die Woordeboek van die

Protests ‘should not be a surprise’Protests ‘should not be a surprise’The story that is being spread that PearlStanfield is responsible for the lack of de-livery of social housing in Bot River isnot true.

The fact is that she was not the wardcouncillor for Bot River when the pro-posed IDP (IntegratedDevelopmentPlan)budgetwasdrawnupandpromulgatedbyTWK–andinfactshewasnotevenacoun-cillor at all at the time.

The ward councillor at the time wasJames Pheiffer.

I was a member of the Bot River WardCouncil when Ms Stanfield was elected,and at this forum made it very clear thatthe then proposed IDP capital expendi-tureexcludedhousing inBotRiver for thefollowing year, as well as any other capi-tal expenditure.

I saw the potential for work for the un-employed in Bot River totally eroded bythe fact that there would be no capitalspent in the area.

Upon further enquiry, I was told thatthe problems of housing were greater inother TWK areas. My protests went un-heeded.

Thewardcouncilhasnopower toaffectTWK decisions anyway.

I seriously doubt that my protests wereheard beyond the closed ward councilmeetings. There was a public meetingwhere the municipal manager defendedthe IDP proposal.

The current service delivery protestsare a direct result of no capital expendi-

ture in the area. This should not be a sur-prise to the TWK officials who drew upthis IDP expenditure plan, including themunicipal manager.

The silence from the TWK municipali-ty as to why Bot River was excluded fromthe IDP budgeting for this year is beyondmy understanding.

The affected protesting population iscertainly being misled by their spokes-men about the lack of housing deliveryand who is responsible therefore.

The understanding of procedure forhousingbudgetingisbeyondthemajorityof ordinary people, including myself.

Exactly who develops the IDP propos-als and which committee accepts the pro-posal that ultimately gets put into prac-tice is a mystery.

This mystery committee should an-swer the complaints of the people of BotRiver.

Several people have told me that theyvoted for Pearl Stanfield on the basis ofher promises to provide free housing forthem in the 2011 calendar year.

I cannot verify if this is true becauseshe never said this to me. If she did, shedeserves the wrath of her voters.

GARTH CHAITStiffie Cronjé, spokesperson for theTheewaterskloof Municipality, said inresponse to this letter that the writerwas “more than welcome” to contactthe Theewaterskloof Municipality of-fice directly to discuss the matter.

Funds not unlimitedFunds not unlimitedAllow me to comment on your front page re-port of 26 June: The demands and rapid re-sponseprotesters expect fromthemunicipali-ty suggest they labour under the illusion itoperates a secret mint with reserves runninginto billions just ready to be scooped up bythe lorry-loads at the snap of the fingers.

It’s about time they are confronted with theunattractive realities that municipalities arenot charities, neither profit-making enter-prises with access to unlimited amounts offunds whenever needed. Very few are finan-cially on a sound footing; most are in direstraits, and many are unable to deliver servi-ces or develop and maintain infrastructure.

In one respect Theewaterskloof distin-guishes itself: its service delivery compareswith the best in the land. Schools, houses andtarred streets seem to be in short supply,hencethevociferousdemands.Haditnotbeenfor the unchecked influx of migrants, therewouldhavebeenvery little tocomplainabout.

Akkedisberg het al vreemde slagoffers geëisS.J. DU TOIT

In die Stanford-omgewing op pad na Cale-don, deur die Akkedisberg, gaan ’n mensdeur die Ezeljacht-pas. Albei hierdie ber-ge is na “diere” vernoem. In die ou daemoes die bergpad deur esels en wa as ver-voermiddelgebruikgeweeshet.Daarwasblykbaar volop akkedisse op die klippelangs die pad te sien – vandaar die andernaam, Akkedisberg.

In vervloë dae het transportryers op hultogte deurAkkedisbergmethulwaensbyBo-vendrift deur die Kleinrivier getrek. Aan dieberg se kant is steeds die tekens van ’n uit-span, waar groot ou akkerbome in Oktobermet hul groen toppe bo ander bome uittroon.

Opdiéplaashet indie oudae ’n groot trage-die afgespeel toe meer as die helfte van diekinders aan TB gesterf het. Hulle het almal

in ’n buitekamertjie geslaap. Daar was geenvenster nie, maar net ’n deurtjie. Onder dieakkerbome teen die rant lê die grafte van diekinders van Bovendrif waar die datums vanelke kind aangedui word.

Eenvandie skerpdraaie indie pad, sohalf-pad na Caledon, staan bekend as die Jood sedraai. Niemand weet deesdae hoekom dit sogenoem word nie, maar ’n mens kan net raai’nsekereJoodkonniesyvoertuig indiedraaiop die pad hou nie, en is die kranse langs die

pad af.’n Ander bekende storie is dié van Oom Da-

nie Carse en sy witblits. Eendag het die ak-synsman en die plaaslike polisiesersant dieplaas besoek en ontdek toe dat hy ’n hele aan-tal vate smokkel-witblits in die solder van sybuitegebou versteek het. Hy kry toe die op-drag om dit na die KWV te neem.

Die oom was hoogs ontsteld en byna siekoor sy groot verlies. Op geen manier kon hynoubydieowerhedeverbykomnie.Nánagte

se wakker lê, besluit hy om raad te vra bysy prokureur op Caledon. Raad het hy ookgekry.Dievolgendedaglaaihysywavolvate.Die inhoud skoon water, met druppels bran-dewyn vir die reuk. Teen die skuinsste deelvan Akkedisbergpas, laat hy die hele spulle-tjie die kranse af stort. Hy stuur die tydingna die aksynsmense — hulle kom ondersoekdie saak. Die verslag is dat al die drank teendie kranse af is, met stukkende vate en waas bewys.

Ekself het al by verskeie geleenthedeondervinddat amptenareblootweier omop korrespondensie te reageer.

Die mees onlangse reaksie ten opsigtevan e-pos wat ek aan die amptenary ge-stuurhet, isomdiee-posuit tewissonderom te lees – “delete without reading”.Ons besef dat ons nie als kan kry waar-

voor ons vra nie, maar reageer dan tenminste op ons korrespondensie.

Botrivier suig beslis aan die agter-speen wat dienslewering betref. Onnodi-ge uitgawes word aangegaan vir die ver-fraaiing van die dorp soos vir randsteneom bome in pleks van aan die rand vanpaaie waar dit kan dien om die verbrok-keling van teeroppervlakte te help oor-kom.

En dan is daar daardie muur by diespoorlyn. Mnr. Cronje, dit is al weer be-sig om om te val. Moet nou nie weer sêdat u nie nou weet nie.

Dit verbaas my egter nie dat die muni-

sipaliteit nie van die protes op 25 Juniegeweet het nie – dis weer eens ’ n aandui-ding van die gebrek aan belangstelling.

Volgens die betogers was daar beloftesaan hulle gemaak, wat nie nagekom isnie. Dis nou tyd om dit te ondersoek enreg te stel.

BOTRIVIER, BOTRIVIER, O BOTRIVIER!O BOTRIVIER!Dit is so ’n mooi dag hier in Botrivier,met sy pragtige omgewing, dat ’nmens klein en nietig voel voor jou He-melse Vader wat dit alles verniet virjou gee!

Onwillekeurig dink ons aan die on-rus en verwoesting wat die afgelopepaar weke hier plaasgevind het. Om teprotesteer is almal se demokratiesereg maar om ander mense se eiendomte beskadig, te verniel en te steel is ’nmisdaad en moet ten sterkste aange-spreek word.

As ’n belastingbetaler wat afhanklikis van my pensioen waarvoor ek virmeer as sestig jaar gewerk het, voel ekten seerste gegrief.

Die optrede van sogenaamde leierswat gehelp het om hierdie proses vanvernietiging te inisieer moet veroor-deelwordenhullemoetverantwoorde-likheid aanvaar.

Ter afsluiting moet ek my teleurstel-ling met die optrede van die SAPD tekenne gee. Vir meer as tien jaar vraons al vir beter beskerming vir Botri-vier.

Die polisie in ons dorp doen hullebes, maar blykbaar beskou die kontro-le in Caledon verdere ondersteuningas onnodig.

Daar is geen plan B vir Botrivier nie– soos nou bewys.

Inwoners vertel dat toe die betogersbegin klippe gooi, het die polisie dieaftog geblaas en so die winkels aan diegenade van die diewe en verwoestersoorgelaat.

Maar tog, vandag skyn die son enmet die genade van Bo hoop ek mensesal besef dat om te steel en verwoes jounêrens bring nie.

Ons is lief vir Botrivier en sy goeiemense.

Issued by Eskom Integrated Demand Management Junie 2012 Eskom Holdings SOC Limited Reg No 2002/015527/06

Onthou, die verlaging van jou energie-uitgawes en die besparing van energie hang af van ‘n kombinasie van twee eenvoudige besluite:

• Skakel af… alle toestelle en ligte wat jy nie nodig het nie en nie gebruik nie.

• Skakel oor na… nuwe, energiedoeltreffende tegnologie regdeur jou huis.

Besoek www.eskom.co.za/idm vir meer inligting.

Die koue maande bring ‘n skerp toename in huishoudelike energiekoste - ‘n toename van tot 15% :• Jy begin om ruimte verwarmers aan te skakel• Jou huis het dalk nie isolering nie - hitte ontsnap deur die plafon en deur gapings

in vensters en deure• Jy neem gereeld ‘n lang warm bad• Jy kook langer aan bredies en ander gunsteling winterdisse• Jy gebruik bykomende toestelle soos tuimeldroërs om klere droog te kry.

Winter wenke om krag te spaar Reklame Artikel

Wat kan ek met 1 kilowatt uur uitrig?

Waarom is my winter-energiekoste so hoog?

Ons voel dit in die lug - die eerste byt wat ons laat weet dat die winter net om die draai is. Maar die koue winterweer hoef nie jou kragrekening ook te verhit nie. Word winter-wys tydens hierdie taai ekonomiese tye met dié stap-vir-stap gids oor hoe om krag te spaar. Kom ons kyk na algemene vrae en die antwoorde daarop.

• Indien jy wel aanskakel, hou dit energiedoeltreffend. Ons beveel aan dat jy verwarmers met ‘n ingeboude termostaat en kort opwarmtyd gebruik. Dink mooi aan of die hitte wat verlang word, in ‘n rigting geblaas moet word (soos ‘n waaier verwarmer of lugversorger) en watter opsie die veiligste sal wees.

• Isolering is een van die belangrikste oplossings om die energie-doeltreffendheid van jou huis te verbeter. Huise met isolering bly koeler in die somer en warmer in die winter. Dit hou die temperatuur in die huis konstant. ‘n Geïsoleerde kamervereis 51% minder energie om warm te word, terwylhitte wat deur verwarmers geskep word nie ontsnap nie. Isolering verminder die behoefte aan ruimtelike verhitting en gebruik minder energie.

Onmiddellike stappe:

• Verlaag die termostaat op jou geiser na 60°C, bedek dit met ‘n geiserkombers en isoleer die waterpype. As die grootste verbruiker van energie is die geiser verantwoordelik vir tot 39% van jou maandelikse elektrisiteitsrekening. Oorweeg dit om jou geiserte vervang met ‘n energiedoeltreffende alternatief soos ‘n son-geiser of hittepomp.

• Bly warm hierdie winter deur warm aan te trek, gebruik warmwaterbottels en laat jou huis isoleer. Warm drankies doen baie om jou warm te hou. Trek jou winterklere aan sodat jy nie nodig het om verwarmers aan te skakel nie.
