    R44000 lost in fake coin scam

    CASSY VAN EEDEN

    The owner of a commercial div-

    ing business in Strand, Trevor

    Bailey, was conned out of a total

    of R44 000 by a local resident,

    Jacques Gerber.

    Bailey laid a charge of fraud

    againstGerberonceherealised that

    Gerber had sold him aKruger Rand

    and five fake gold coinswith former

    president NelsonMandelas face on

    them.

    Gerber was arrested on Saturday

    14 June and after appearing in the

    Strand Magistrates Court on 17

    Junehewasremandedinpolicecus-

    tody and sent to Pollsmoor Prison.

    He currently has three charges

    against him at the Strand Magis-

    tratesCourt.Whenhewas arrested

    on the charge of fraud, he was also

    charged with possession of suspect-

    ed stolen property, possession of

    drugs and possession of fraudulent

    documents relating to coins.

    Bailey said that Gerber initially

    approached him in January this

    year with uncut diamonds for sale.

    With a history of having worked in

    the SAPSs diamond and gold unit

    in the 80s, Bailey said that he had

    no interest in the diamonds. Uncut

    diamondsholdno attraction forme,

    its a dirty industry.

    Gerber then sold Bailey a Kruger

    Rand, which he said was worth

    R14 000, for a special price of

    R8 000. Gerber claimed that he was

    desperate for themoney and that he

    hadabuyer linedupwhowouldbuy

    theKrugerRand fromBailey for the

    full price.

    Bailey suspects that the Kruger

    Rand was fake, but before he could

    verify this, Gerber then asked for

    the Kruger Rand to be returned to

    him so that he could sell it. Bailey

    has yet to see his money.

    Gerber also sold gold Mandela

    coins to Bailey.

    Smelling a rat, Bailey decided to

    contact theScoinShopintheSomer-

    set Mall, who confirmed that the

    coins were in fact part of a promo-

    tional range that they distribute in

    order to attract business to the

    store.

    Gerber appeared for a bail hear-

    ingat theStrandMagistratesCourt

    on Tuesday 24 June and at the time

    of going to print, the outcome of the

    hearing was unknown.

    Kim Gresse, a Gordons Bay resident, can

    testify to this as the troop visited her garden

    and in particular her guava tree recently.

    Gresse says she was startled by a baboon in

    her garden and was surprised that the troop

    of about 20was notmore aggressive. She says

    it is lovely towatch thebaboons, butadds that

    she will be mindful to keep the security gate

    DALEEN FOUCH

    Nuwe toiletgeriewe in die gedaante

    van herontwerpte vraghouers word

    beplan vir die strandgebied.

    Belinda Walker, burgemeestersko-

    miteelid vir korporatiewe dienste en

    menslike hulpbronne, s die semi-per-

    manente toilette is broodnodig vir die

    strand omdat van die permanente toi-

    Sy s van die permanente toilette kan

    Tydelike ablusiegeriewe word tans

    in die vorm van n groot wit sleepwa

    langs Deep Blue voorsien. Dit be-

    klemtoon verder die nood vir n ander

    oplossing.

    Walker s ablusiegeriewe is in groot

    aanvraag oor die vakansieseisoen. In

    vorige seisoene het die Stad Kaapstad

    verskuifbare toiletgeriewe aan die

    strand voorsien.

    Die idee is om smaakvolle toiletge-

    riewe te verskaf wat nie die bou van

    harde infrastruktuur onder die hoog-

    watermerk benodig nie.

    Twee konsepontwerpe is al gemaak

    Family to trekAfrica

    JAMEY GORDON

    Today (Thursday 26

    June) the Shaw fami-

    ly from Elgin,

    Grabouw will leave

    behind their comfort-

    able lifestyle in pur-

    suit of adventure.

    GaryandCathyShaw

    accompanied by their

    daughters, Megan (16)

    and Bronwen (14) will

    hopinto their1997Land

    Rover Defender TDi for

    a month-long overland

    adventure through

    Africa.

    Their quest entails

    exploring the game

    parks, beaches and

    lakes ofBotswana, Zim-

    babwe, Zambia, Mala-

    wi,TanzaniaandZanzi-

    bar.

    According toCathy, the family has been on

    several overland adventures in Southern

    Africa, with the first trip occurring when

    theirdaughterswereat the tenderagesof one

    and three.

    The couple reckons they have since been

    justabouteverywhereandhavealwayswant-

    ed to embark on a Cape to Cairo adventure.

    Due to the exorbitant cost of sucha trip and

    their busy schedules, the family decided to

    complete their journey in stages.

    Gary says theywill travel for amonth each

    year until they reach Egypt, and possibly

    even continue through Europe.

    TheShawfamilyplan to leave theirvehicle

    behind at a storage facility in Dar es Salaam,

    Tanzania before their adventure comes to an

    end on 27 July. Thisway, it will be easier and

    more cost effective to continue their adven-

    ture next year.

    Gary says the trip costs aroundR65 000 and

    has been planned since November last year.

    The planning consisted ofmapping the route

    aswell as sixmonths of preparing thevehicle

    for the expedition and themselves to be fully

    self-sufficient.

    Since theyll be on the road for quite some

    time, travelling light is essential.

    Gary says they will take along with them

    tents, sleeping bags, food for two weeks at a

    time and 100 litres of water.

    As for toiletries and clothing, Gary says he

    allowed each individual to bring along only

    an average travel bag whatever they fill it

    with, is up to them.

    LAND AT LAST: Helderbergs fa

    mous adventurer Riaan Manser

    and his girlfriend Vasti Geldenhuys

    left the Moroccan coast on 31 De

    cember in a seven metre rowing

    boat, starting their journey to

    Manhattan, New York. Now, after

    a gruelling 10 765 km of rowing

    and 133 days at sea, the couple

    have finally reached their destina

    tion. They rowed their way into

    history on Friday 20 June by be

    ing the first two people in the

    world to row from Africa to New

    York with no assistance. When the

    couple return home the DistrictMail

    will hopefully catch up with the

    couple for an exclusive interview.

    )With regards to the recent

    Lwandle evictions, to all those

    who find the whole saga inhu

    mane, take a back seat and take

    into consideration the ratepayers

    living right next door to these ille

    gal dwellers. Would you be as

    sympathetic if your property val

    ues were threatened or you had

    to put upwith the noise andawful

    smells?

    I dont think so. Blackheath didnt

    want them, well neither does

    Strand.

    ) Helderberg Hospital is quick

    when it comes to security and

    very slow in terms of medical

    help.

    On 17 June my sister was at

    tacked, she lost a lot of bloodand

    her blood pressure was low. She

    was weak and upon arriving at

    the hospital, security informed us

    about a change over.

    We eventually ended up going

    to Mediclinic Vergelegen so that

    she could be stabilised.We went

    back to the hospital later, where

    we had to be rude before we re

    ceived any assistance. This is not

    the way a health care facility

    should operate.

    )What is wrong with Somerset

    West courts? Armed robbers are

    given bail whilst investigations

    are still happening. House

    breakers are not convicted. We

    need the law.

    jammer, lief jou....

    Animalsareas important tousas children

    To the various vets in the Helder-

    berg:

    Our animals are as important

    to us as our children. When they

    are ill and suffering, we expect to

    find medical help from our local

    vets. We are driven by love and

    fear to find relief for these small

    creatures that bring us so much

    unconditional love.

    On Saturday evening my sis-

    ters dog was having convul-

    sions and she phoned five vets

    after hours numbers, but to no

    avail.

    She then rushed her dog to

    the SPCA in Bellville, but un-

    fortunately due to the delay in

    trying to find a local vet to as-

    sist her, her dog passed away.

    This week, a close friends

    catwaswailing in excruciating

    pain. She contacted her local

    Strand vet, but was told they

    are all on lunch. She then

    phoned thevet inAltenaRoadand

    the one in Gordons Bay, but was

    met with the same pathetic re-

    sponse. Eventually, the SPCA in

    Gordons Bay informed her that

    she could bring her cat to them

    and they gave her cat immediate

    attention, but unfortunately the

    cat had to be put down.

    This is not an anomaly as I have

    been told of many similar inci-

    dents and I have also experienced

    the same type of unavailability

    when my own dogs eye was

    rippedout.Whydoesaveterinary

    clinic not have doctors on stand

    byduring lunchhours.Evenbusi-

    nesses have staff on a rotation ba-

    sis during lunch hours, or during

    the evenings?

    They claim they are available,

    but in times of dire need they are

    all MIA (missing in action).

    Two small lives were lost this

    week and the result trauma

    and tears , which have now

    turned to anger, could have

    been avoided.

    All praise and thanks goes to

    the SPCA for their unfailing de-

    termination to assist when the

    others were having lunch or

    just not answering their

    phones.

    SHANTAY

    STRAND

    Its time fora revolution toprotect our town

    Whats happened to our beautiful

    Helderberg?Why is there somuch

    crime all of a sudden?

    This year alone has had more

    known incidents than any other

    year, ranging from shoot-outs,

    murders and armed robberies to

    plain theft not being committed

    by the stereotypical crooked Ni-

    gerians. Heres the cold, hard fact:

    Our own people are starting to

    commit crimes.

    Its becoming easier and easier

    for us, as residents of the once glo-

    rious and peaceful Helderberg, to

    point fingers and raise your opin-

    ionabouteveryevent thathashap-

    pened.

    Its time to shut up, stop moan-

    ing, and start doing something to

    prevent these issues fromhappen-

    ing again!

    For too long have we (and note

    that it includes myself) been

    ridingonthebackof themetaphor-

    ical horse and just looking away,

    minding our own business when

    something happens.

    Its timewe take action and take

    back our town, which once was a

    thriving community. Stop looking

    away, and start facing the facts

    its going to happen to you soon.

    Will you be prepared to defend

    yourself,andwillyourneighbours

    or someonewalking past you, stop

    and help you, knowing that you

    would have done the same for

    them?

    Crime isnt justmurder, theft or

    assault. Its much more than that.

    Whos going to clean up yourmess

    if you leave your trash on the

    beach?Whatsyourreactiongoing

    tobe if youwant to enjoy thebeach

    and it looks disgusting?

    For this reason, I want to thank

    eachandeveryinitiativelaunched

    by those in our community, for

    making a difference; not for per-

    sonal gain, but for the sake ofmak-

    ing other peoples lives easier.

    I would like to thank our neigh-

    bourhood watches, the groups of

    people that voluntarily clean up

    the beaches each month, those

    whovolunteer for charity and eve-

    ry single one who made a differ-

    ence in our community. Your

    deeds have been noticed, and we

    appreciate it.

    Helderbergers, heres my chal-

    lenge to all of us: Make the first

    move, and be one step ahead of

    crime. I did it by joining our local

    neighbourhood watch. What are

    you going to do to protect our com-

    munity?

    Emotions run

    high in

    Macassar

    Macassar residents are angry and

    fed up, and whether its wrong or

    right, they have begun to take the

    law into their own hands.

    This week Macassar residents

    were protesting about the Lwandle

    evictees to be moved to Macassar to

    benefit from a planned housing

    project there (readarticle onpage 3).

    Their frustrations reached boil-

    ing point when the councillor to

    whom they were going to submit a

    petition, signedbymorethanathou-

    sand people, did not turn up.

    They vented their frustration by

    burning tyres and throwing stones.

    The burning of tyres to block off

    roads and the throwing of stones at

    police, who were sent to Macassar

    to quell the violence, cannot be con-

    doned.

    But one should try to understand

    their frustration, anger and feelings

    of helplessness as they see the land

    that was promised to them, now be-

    ing promised to people from outside

    Macassar. Lets hope some sense

    prevails and this mess is sorted out.

    Ontevredenheidoor

    plakkers inMacassar

    Ek is baie teleurgesteld in burgemees-

    ter Patricia de Lille wat plakkers na

    Macassar wil verskuif.

    Ek bly al jare lank in Macassar waar

    ek vir n huis wag en waar sy die plak-

    kers wil dump. Ek huur tans n huis

    in Rondomskrik waarvoor ek elke

    maand huur moet betaal.

    Daar is nie eens plek vir Macassar

    se mense nie, maar nou wel vir buite-

    plakkers. Baie van ons mense het nie

    eens n dak oor die kop nie, want hulle

    werk nie.

    Die grondwat sy aandie plakkerswil

    gee, iswaaronshuisegebougaanword.

    Daar is reeds van ons grond aan plaas-

    boere verkoop wat verkeerd is. Dit is

    n pad waarlangs ons kinders skool toe

    en Shoprite toe loop.

    Ons gemeenskap is baie ontevrede

    oor jul besluite. As ek as inwoner van

    Macassar terugkyk, is daar geenmate-

    riaal aan ons mense vir verskuiwing

    gegee nie, maar wel aan Lwandle se

    plakkers. By onsemense se hokke ren

    dit in. Daar is geen geriewe vir hulle

    nie.

    Ons is tans besig om n petisie op te

    stel wat Rondomskrik se mense reeds

    begin teken het.

    Ons is ook besig om die hele Macas-

    sar se gemeenskap te betrek. As ons

    mense almal geteken het, gaan ons die

    petisie by die raadskantoor inhandig.

    Ons stemme was goed genoeg, maar

    beloftes word nie nagekom nie. Daar

    is reeds n klomp buitelanders in Ma-

    cassar, en nouwil jy nog buiteplakkers

    dump. Dit is baie verkeerd.

    ek lees dat n sekere groepmen-

    Nou ja, ek ken mense wat na-

    waarheid te s, ek is self in Dui-

    nie,maar blykbaar in n kraam-

    inrigting in die omgewing.

    Dis n ope vraag of dit my ka-

    Craven se hond se naam ook te

    verander

    Wat van die dorpe in dieHel-

    derberg? Ek dink die Strand se

    naam pas perfek. Gordonsbaai

    is ook nie sleg nie, en selfs al

    sou iemand dit wou verander,

    is dit te laat, want dan sal ons

    Oor die naamSomerset-Wes het ekwel

    gemengde gevoelens, om eerlik te wees.

    Dalk sal ek ten tyde van my volgende ru-

    briek my gedagtes hieroor meer volledig

    kan formuleer!

    Wat dink ons lesers? Ek hoor graag.

    AnthonyvanNiekerk: nGrootboom indieHelderberghetgeval

    Ekkonnieandersasomhierdiebrief te skryf

    nie. Ek het so pas die nuus ontvang dat een

    van my oudonderwysers, Anthony van Nie-

    kerk, gesterf het.

    Dit is vir my een van die grootste verliese

    wat die Helderberg kon tref. Min mense het

    so nmerkgelaat en impakgemaak sooshier-

    die man. Hywasmy onderwyser in standerd

    5, toe dit nog standerds was, en een van die

    beste rolmodelle in my lewe. Hy was n man

    wat die leuse van Oklahoma Primr, Bly

    koersvas, in ons almal vasgel en altyd ges

    het: Niemand druip my vak nie. Altyd ge-

    reed met n glimlag en n grappie ...

    Ek het meer as net akademie by hom ge-

    leer ook baie oor die lewe en hoe om altyd

    na beter te strewe. Sy stemwas altyd die her-

    innering dat ek my voete op die grond gean-

    ker moet hou en onthou waar ek vandaan

    kom. Hierdie lesse sal my altyd bybly en het

    gehelp om van my die mens te maak wat ek

    is. Tony, soos almal hom genoem het, was

    net nog altyd Meneer vir my. Ek is dank-

    baardat ek soveel indie lewekon leerdanksy

    hierdie man wat in my geglo het.

    Later in die lewe het ek die geleentheid ge-

    had om saam met hom as geestelike leier in

    die kerk te werk. Watter waardevolle onder-

    vinding dat ek ook inmy geestelike lewe van

    homkonleer!Ek is tansbesigmet nnagraad-

    se kursus by Harvard Universiteit en ek kan

    dit net doen omdat mense soos Anthony van

    Niekerk die fondament gel het waarop ek

    nou bou. Sy nalatenskap is van onskatbare

    waarde. Dit wat hy geplant het, sal vir baie

    jare nog vrugte dra.

    Ek salueer vandag een van die Groot Bou-

    meesters van my lewe en sal altyd dankbaar

    wees vir die bydrae wat hy gemaak het tot

    die samelewing in geheel. Rus in vrede, Me-

    ing on Wednesday 2 July. The meeting commences at 10:00 in

    the Strand Town Hall. Jenkin is a longtime advocate for social

    justice and was an ANC activist during the 1970s. Jenkin was

    arrested in 1978 and charged with producing and distributing

    18 different pamphlets on behalf of banned organisations. He

    was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment and the following

    year he and fellow inmates Alex Moumbaris and Stephen Lee

    showed how patience, singlemindedness and meticulous atten

    tion to detail got them out of their cells and through fourteen

    locked doors to freedom. After the escape from the Pretoria

    prison, Jenkin fled to Europe before going into exile in the UK, where he worked for

    the ANC. Jenkin now runs his own IT business in Cape Town and still uses his skills to

    create a better world. Tea and coffee will be served from 09:30. Visitors welcome at

    Crossing over with Christy

    Sir LowrysPrimr sehoofgroet

    DELIAH BRINKHUIS

    Rolan MacDonald, skoolhoof van

    die Sir Lowrys Pass Primre

    Skool, s aan die einde van Junie

    totsiens aan di skool.

    MacDonald, n boorling van die

    dorp, was vir byna drie dekades aan

    die stuur by die skool nadat hy in Ja-

    nuarie 1988 in di pos aangestel is.

    Vars uit die onderwyskollege het

    hy in Januarie 1979 sy onderwys-

    loopbaanbyHorskoolGordoninSo-

    merset-Wes begin. Ses jaar later het

    hydieposvanadjunkhoofbydiedes-

    tydse Marsh Alliston-skool in Sir

    Lowrys Pass aanvaar.

    Hy is trots op die pad wat hy by

    di skool geloop het.

    In Oktober 1987 het hy by die des-

    tydse hoof, wyle Samuel Wessels,

    oorgeneem, en die volgende jaar het

    die skool na n splinternuwe gebou

    verskuif en die naam na Sir Lowrys

    Pass Primr verander.

    Om inwoner van en laerskoolhoof

    op di dorp te wees, was n aanwins

    vir hom.

    Dit was goed om in my eie ge-

    meenskap te kon ploeg, meen hy.

    Hy s dat die behoeftes en omstan-

    dighede van die gemeenskap soveel

    beter aan hom bekendwas en dat dit

    sy taak as skoolhoof makliker ge-

    maak het.

    Vir die afgelope 26 jaar het hy n

    negeuur-werksdag, vanaf 07:00 tot

    16:00 volgehou en wanneer hy die

    deur n 16:00 die middag agter hom

    toetrek, bring hy tyd deur met sy

    vrouGail enhul tweekinders,Melis-

    sa en Radley.

    Maar, s hy, net soos wat sy kan-

    toordeur gedurende skoolure vir ou-

    ers en onderwysers oop was, het hy

    ook noopdeur tuisgehadenhetbaie

    ouers na-ure kom aanklop.

    MacDonald is trots op die mylpale

    watdie skool deurdie jarebehaalhet

    en noem n paar van die uitdagings

    wat oorkom is die stigting van die

    voedingskema, die geletterdheids-

    sentrum, die borgskap-program en

    die talle akademiese en sportpresta-

    sies van leerders.

    Die grootse sukses, meen hy, was

    die stigting van die geletterdheid- en

    syfervaardigheidsentrum in 2011.

    Di program, s MacDonald, het die

    leerders se akademiese vaardigheid

    asook hul selfvertroue en algehele

    dissipline aansienlik verbeter.

    Hy is dankbaar vir die finansile

    steunwat die skool deur die jare van

    plaaslike sowel as buitelandse borge

    en kerke ontvang het. Die Borg, n

    leerder-program waar leerders se

    jaarlikse skoolfooie betaal word, is

    in 2005 begin toe skoolfooie R100 per

    leerder was.

    MacDonald onthou goed hoe die

    program begin het wanneer hy ver-

    tel van die graad R-uitstappie wat n

    leerder nie kon meemaak nie omdat

    diekindseouers niedieekstrauitga-

    we kon bekostig het nie.

    n Donasie van n werkgewer van

    digr.Rseouer,BarbaraTofaute,het

    dit moontlik gemaak dat die hele

    graadR-klassiedieuitstappiekonge-

    niet.

    Tofaute het gou meer buitelandse

    borgeondermeeruitDuitsland,Swe-

    de en Holland aan boord gekry en

    vandagworddie jaarlikse skoolfooie

    van R350 vir 450 leerders geborg.

    MacDonaldverteldatdieskoolook

    daagliks, danksy die ondersteuning

    van die onderwysdepartement en

    plaaslike kerke, sowat 950 leerders

    van n gekookte maaltyd, vrugte,

    melk en koeldrank voorsien.

    In sy jareas skoolhoofhetdaarook

    heelwat leerders goeie sportpresta-

    sies behaal. Hy glimlag trots wan-

    neer hy vertel van die leerders wat

    provinsiale kleure in sportkodes

    soos skaak, atletiek, netbal en rugby

    verwerf het.

    Volgens MacDonald is dit gerus-

    stellend dat hy die leisels in die han-

    de van Charlton de Mornay, wat se-

    dert die ontstaan van die skool be-

    trokke is, kan oorgee.

    Hy is egter onseker oorwatdie toe-

    koms inhou, maar s dat gesond eet

    en oefen definitief hoog op sy lys van

    prioriteite is.

    Hy het ook verlede jaar vir die eer-

    stekeer oupavan n tweelinggeword

    en sien uit om vir eers net meer tyd

    met sy familie deur te bring.

    Ek is egter steeds deel van die ge-

    meenskap, en nie heeltemal verlore

    vir hulle nie.

    Inpursuit of rareplantsatVergelegen

    A team of enthusiastic, ama-

    teur botanists recently visited

    the historic, 314-year-old

    Vergelegen Wine Estate.

    The team are all

    members of the Custo-

    dians of Rare and En-

    dangered Wildflowers

    programme (CREW).

    CREW is a pro-

    gramme that involves

    volunteers from the

    public in the monitor-

    ing and conservation

    of South Africas

    threatened plants.

    Joined by Vergele-

    gens winery assistant

    Maritza van Rensburg,

    the dozen visitors

    ranged from a Stellen-

    bosch University stu-

    dent to an elderly

    grandmother.

    There are almost 300 threat-

    ened plant species on the Red Da-

    ta plant list in the Helderberg ar-

    ea, said CREW team leader and

    field guide Cecilia Wolmarans.

    The volunteers met early on a

    cold wintermorning and drove to

    a spot of shale several kilometres

    from the main Vergelegen

    homestead.

    Wolmarans showed them pho-

    tographs and gave descriptions of

    the plants to focus on, such asEri-

    ca ferrea andMimentes arboreus.

    The team identified more than

    50 species and the rich pickings

    of the day included ground pro-

    teas, Protea scorzonerifolia (vul-

    nerable) and Babiana villosula

    (endangered).

    For each trip (volunteers set

    out twice a month) Wolma-

    rans fills in a lengthy form

    with information such as

    plants GPS coordinates, ar-

    ea geology and the age of the

    veld.

    We record threats or dis-

    turbances there are none

    at Vergelegen, she said.

    CREW teams have been

    visiting the estate since

    2011, as increasing numbers

    of rare and endangered

    plant species spring up as a

    result of an ambitious 10-

    year programme (initiated

    in 2004) to clear 2 200 of a

    total 3 000 hectares of non-

    arable land.

    This is believed tobe the largest

    private conservation undertak-

    ing in South Africa.

    As the area also has a variety

    of soil types such as shale, granite

    and Table Mountain sandstone,

    there is an outstanding

    variety of plants to be seen,

    said Wolmarans.

    Vergelegen conserva-

    tionist Gerald Wright says

    there are at least 500 plant

    species on the farm.

    As alien vegetation uses

    50 to 800 times more water

    than fynbos, reducing the

    alien vegetation has boost-

    ed water flow at Vergele-

    gen.

    Wetland areas are re-

    emerging (a wetland area

    that was virtually dead is

    now fed by six streams)

    and large quantities of

    cleanerwater can be seen flowing

    into the Lourens River, which

    leads from the farm to neighbour-

    ing communities.

    The number of bird species has

    soared from 80 to at least 142, said

    Wright, and there are frequent

    sightings of Verreaux eagles, fish

    eagles and malachite sunbirds.

    Secretarybirdsandbluecranes

    are breeding on the farm and vis-

    iting birds include steppe buz-

    zards from Russia and yellow

    billed kites from North Africa.

    The animal population in-

    cludes numerous antelope spe-

    cies, leopard, caracal, honey

    badgers, snake weasels, silver

    foxes, Cape hares and spotted

    genet.

    You dont have to be a botany

    expert or have vast experience

    with plants to get involved in

    CREW, Wolmerans added.

    CREW members, Maritza van Rensburg

    and Cecilia Wolmarans study plants at

    Vergelegen.

    Babiana villosula is one of the many plant species

    found at Vergelegen.

    Sake

    Business

    net gaan styg en styg?

    Die indeks van 51 323 op Vrydag 20

    Junie, beteken dat al die aandele op

    diebeurs tesamenoupasdievlakvan

    R12 000 miljard bereik het, of 12 tril-

    joen.

    In Oktober 2010 het ons ook baie te

    s gehad toe die einste indeks 30 000

    gehaal het, wat in daardie tyd gelyk

    was aan sowat R6 triljoen.

    Die rede waarom die huidige vlak

    van 50 000 ons tot dubbeld soveel ge-

    voel het, was weens die notering van

    sulke groot oorsese groepe hier soos

    Glencore Xstrata.

    Dit kom ewenwel daarop neer dat

    die waarde van al ons aandele op die

    aandelebeurs, sonder dat die ekono-

    mie die laaste drie en n half jaar veel

    gegroei het, met sowat R6 triljoen ge-

    styg het, wat terloops vergelyk met

    die totale markkapitalisasie van

    skaars R1,3 triljoen in April 2003, toe

    die algehele indeks skaars 7 000 was.

    Maar met syfers kan mens soms

    toor en iets wat ons nie aldag in ag

    neem nie, is dat die bydrae van die

    oorsese bedrywighede van maat-

    skappye wat hier noteer word, seker

    maklik by die R4 tot R5 triljoen van

    ons mark uitmaak, wat relatief baie

    meer is as n klompie jare gelede.

    Een van die ander redes vir ons

    mark, wat net jaar na jaar styg, is die

    lae vlakke van rentekoerse, hier en

    oorsee.

    Dit veroorsaak dat daar orals tril-

    joene se oorskot kontant rondsweef

    en dan het die bedryf vir afgeleide in-

    strumente ook nog gesorg dat n aan-

    sienlike hoeveelheid virtuele kon-

    tant geskep is.

    En soos ons almal weet, aandele

    styg wanneer te veel geld te min aan-

    dele jaag.

    Aandele sal altyd op die lang duur

    die beste belegging bly,maar iemand

    wat nou vir eers in sy dop bly, en sy

    kontant bewaar, sal dalk later weer

    waarde kan koop.

    Diealgehele indeksvandieJohan-

    nesburgse Effektebeurs het die af-

    gelope week verder van krag tot

    krag gegaan en tot meer as 51 000

    gestyg, dalk net om te wys die be-

    reikingvan50 000wasgeenvloek-

    skootnie.Maarsoosditgewoonlik

    die geval is wanneer mylpale be-

    haal word, is dit niks ongewoon

    vir beleggers om te wonder of die

    mark nie nou te duur geword het

    nie.

    Ons hoor trouens reeds die laaste

    klompie maande gereeld dat advi-

    seursmeen diemark is te hoog en dat

    dit waarskynlik tussen 10% en 15%

    kan daal.

    En as die mark nie van plan is om

    die sodanige regstelling teondergaan

    nie moet ons vra hoe lank die mark

    gaan bly styg?

    Wanneermensdangereeld leeshoe

    die aandelemark uitgedruk in rand

    ensent lyk, isditnormaalomniedalk

    bietjiebangtewordnie,of isonsbesig

    om n nuwe gegewe te ervaar in die

    beleggingswese waar markte maar

    Nuwe normaal vir aandelebeurs?
