Seeeis skoolseun
JAMEY THOMAS
H
y was nie net my kleinkind
nie, hy was soos my eie kind.
Sy dood laat n groot leemte
in my hart, maar sy aansteeklike laggie
sal vir ewig in die huis weergalm.
Dt is diewoorde van n snikkendeMinnie
Adams (56) van die Strand wat Donderdag
(17Januarie)haar tienjarigekleinseun,Ash-
ley Adonis, aan die dood moes afstaan.
Ashleyensyneef,MarchelAdonis (13), het
di dag sonder toesig by Melkbaaistrand in
die Strand gaan swem toe hy verdrink het.
Volgens Marchel het hulle reguit n skool
huis toe gegaan, hul skoolklere
uitgetrek en met hul bran-
derplank strand toe ge-
gaan.
Ons het
pas met ons branderplank die water inge-
gaan, toe Ashley daarvan afgeval het. Ek het
kort daarna ook in die water geval, vertel
Marchel.
In n poging omAshley te red, hetMarchel
homvanonderdiewateruitgelig.Hyhetmy
om die nek vasgehou terwyl ek probeer het
omkustoeteswem,maarhywasnet teswaar
en ek kon nie wegkom nie.
Hy het voorts vertel hoe hulle albei toe op
hul eie probeer uitswem het. Ashley het vir
nwylevinnigagternagekom,maar toeMar-
chel weer kyk, het hy net onder die water
verdwyn.
Ek het vir mense op die strand om hulp
gevra, en nmanhet die polisie ontbied, het
Marchel ges.
Luidens n verklaring uitgereik deur die
Nasionale Seered-
dingsinstituut
(NSRI), is n
soektog in
die Melkbaaistrand-gebied voortgesit nadat
Ashley deur sy neef as vermis aangemeld is.
Ashley se lyk is omstreeks 21:00 die aand
onder diewater gevind en aan die forensiese
patologie-dienste oorhandig, het Johann
Lensink van die NSRI Gordonsbaai ges.
nOndersoekdossier is deurdieStrand-po-
lisie geopen.
Volgens Ashley se ma, Berenice Adonis,
het hy tussen 15:30 en 16:00 n skool by die
huis aangekom en vir haar ges hy gaan
strand toe.
Ek het hom ges hy gaan nrens. Maar
hy het sondermy toestemming enmedewete
tog gegaan, het die hartseer ma ges.
Volgens ouma Minnie, wat Ashley groot-
gemaak en alles voorsien het, gaan sy hom
verskriklikbaiemis.Hywas ngoeiekind
baie gewillig, hardwerkend, het vir niks te-
ruggestaan nie, menslik en vriendelik.
Hy het nooit die huis verlaat son-
der om n gebed op te s
nie, ennooit sonder
gebed gaan slaap
nie.
Hy het beslis n baie spesiale plek in my
hart.
Ashley se skoolhoof, Martin Leukes van
Dr. G.J. Joubert Primre Skool, s hy was
n goeie leerling wat altyd baie stil was.
Ashley het verlede jaar n diploma vir
goeie vordering in geletterdheid verwerf.
Volgens Marchel, wat by die skool bera-
ding ontvang van n sielkundige van die on-
derwysdepartement, was Ashley n goeie
maatjie,engaanhybeslishulsaamspeelmis.

Rockywaters forBlue Flag status?
NIKITA SYLVESTER
HelderbergresidentsareconcernedthatBi-
kini Beach in Gordons Bay may be at risk
of losing its Blue Flag status due to the ab-
surd number of rocks covering the shore.
Art Ridgway, who has been fishing in the ar-
ea for over 40 years, suggests that this problem
could have something to do with the dredging.
Sandgetsmovedall thetime,soitcouldhave
an effect on the beach on the other side of the
harbour, explains Ridgway, adding that there
would be a number of other factors to consider
too.
As a result of the rock problem, he feels that
Bikini Beach is no longer worthy of its Blue
Flag status. This is not aBlueFlagbeach.Kids
cry when they swim here. It is dangerous for
all swimmers. Bikini beach was once a beauti-
ful beach; now its barren.
The City of Cape Towns MayCo member for
Community Services, Tandeka Gqada, said
that Bikini Beach falls within an originally
rocky shore rocks are the natural coastline,
but sediment transport (including beach sand)
within a bay is driven by circulation caused
by long-shore currents. The same would hap-
pen in Gordons Bay. Therefore, sand at this
locationwould have originally been continual-
ly removed and replenished naturally.
However, with the construction of the har-
bour,andmainlytheharbourwall, thiscircula-
tion was cut off.
Due to this, there was no process for sand re-
moval, resulting in the formation of a sandier
beach what is known today as Bikini Beach.
The challengewith this situation is that the
natural,rockyshorestillremains,andthelarge
deposits of rock on the beach stems from the
natural occurrence of rocks on this section of
the coast, she said.
Over the years, the City has been responding
to public requests by moving the rocks out of
the bathers way, or by moving sand to cover
the boulders.
Thesemeasures are being carried out in or-
der to provide a comfortable beach for visitors.
Bikini Beach therefore requires ongoing inter-
vention.
It must also be emphasised that, short of re-
moving the harbour wall, the City will have to
continue with these measures in perpetuity.
The situation at Bikini Beach will not jeop-
ardise its Blue Flag status, Gqada stated.
Residents and visitors to Bikini Beach in Gor
dons Bay enduring the rocky terrain.
According to the Blue Flag
website:
Beaches are awarded Blue Flag
status based on compliance with
32 criteria covering the
following:
1. Environmental
Education & Information
2. Water Quality
3. Environmental
Management
4. Safety and Services
All Blue Flags are awarded for
one season at a time.
If the criteria are not fulfilled
during the season or the condi
tions change, the Blue Flag may
be withdrawn.
Distraught family and friends gathered in
the United Reformed Church in Strand on
Wednesday to say farewell toAshleyAdonis

mary School drowned at Strands Melkbaai

ILLANA FRANTZ
Ng Metrorail, ng die Stad
Kaapstad wil die verant-
woordelikheid aanvaar om
n 4 m diep gat reg te maak
in n trap in die duikweg van
die Somerset-Wes-stasie.
Jannie du Toit het verlede
weekvandiegatbewusgeword
enDistriksPos daaroor ingelig.
Hy s die gat hou n groot ge-
vaar vir mense in. Dit is om-
trent 4 m diep en dit is gevaar-
lik. Dit moet dringend regge-
maakword, maar niemandwil
verantwoordelikheid daar-
voor vat nie, het hy ges.
Volgens Mthuthuzeli
Swartz, Metrorail streeksbe-
stuurder, behoort die duikweg
aan die Stad Kaapstad. Die
duikweg dien as n straat-tot-
straat-deurgang en behoort
dus aan die stad.
Hy het bygevoeg dat die pro-
bleem onder die betrokke de-
partement van die stad se aan-
dag gebring sal word. Ons het
ook PRASA CRES (Corporate
Real Estate Solutions) wat vir
die bestuur van die fasiliteite
by die spoorlyne verantwoor-
delik is, genader om hul same-
werking aan die stad te gee.
Brett Herron, burgemees-
terskomiteelid vir vervoer,
paaie en stormwater, het egter
ges dat die duikweg wel Me-
trorail se verantwoordelik-
heid is. Die duikweg is deur
Metrorail opgerig en dit ver-
skaf ook primre toegang tot
die stasie. Die duikweg is ook
nog nooit deur die stad onder-
hou nie, het hy ges.
Herron het bygevoeg dat hy
diesaakmetMetrorail enPRA-
SACRESsal opneemomtever-
seker dat die probleem opgelos
sal word.
n Bekommerde ouer, Na-
tashja Brighton vrees vir die
kinders se veiligheid. Baie
kinders gebruik die trein en
gaan in Somerset-Wes skool.

Ek wonder of iemand nou

JAMEY THOMAS
An elderly man from Somerset West fell
victim to an attempted hijacking in broad
daylight while en route to his home on
Thursday 17 January.
According to Thomas Brett (72), who has
been living in the Briza area for more than
32 years, the incident occurred around 12:00
in Little Street. With the window down and
his armrestingon thedoor,Thomaswasdriv-
ing down the street relatively slowly. Howev-
er, about 20 m before he reached the stop
street to turn into Smuts Avenue, a man sud-
denly stepped off the sidewalk into the road.
While approaching the bakkie, he was
making some hand gestures atme, urgingme
to slowdown.Sincehewasneatlydressedand
looked like he needed some help, I stopped,
said Thomas.
Thomas thought that the man was going to
ask for some directions, but then all hell
broke loose.
He cameup to thewindowand I remember
thinking I wonder what this man wants,
when a knife suddenly appeared in his right
hand.Theblade thensliced throughmyarm.
Out of fear that themanwould do himmore
harm with the blade, which he estimated to
be20 cmlong,Thomasmovedtowardsthepas-
sengers side. According to Thomas his at-
tacker saw this as the perfect opportunity to
help himself to his bakkies key. After grab-
bing the key, he also demanded money.
He took my wallet, as well
asmy cellphonewhichwas vis-
ible in my shirt pocket.
Before the attacker could
make off with his possessions,
Thomaspleaded that he just re-
turn his drivers licence.
I dont know exactly what I
said or how I said it, but some-
how this man felt for me. May-
be itwasmyage.He then threw
my keys and drivers licence
over the bakkie, close to the
pavement,explainedThomas,
who was surprised that his
keys were returned since he
had been convinced that the at-
tacker would take off with his
bakkie.
Whilehegotoutof thebakkie
to collect the items, the attack-
er ran away.
Itwas only then that Thomas
realised his arm was bleeding
andhis clotheswere covered in
blood.
Luckily there was nomoney in mywallet,
but I had to stop all my bank cards and my
cellphone account. After notifying my wife,
I also reported the incident to thepolice, said
Thomas.
Despite his anger over the fact that an inno-
cent person meaning to do good was violated
and harmed, Thomas says that he is grateful
tohavesurvived thehorrificordeal.Hewould
like to implore people not to be complacent.
Thiscanhappentoanyone,anywhere,atany
time. Be alert.
The Somerset West police have confirmed
that a case of robbery is being investigated
and no one has of yet been arrested in connec-
tionwith the incident. Anyonewith addition-
al information can contactDetectiveWarrant

Cosatu Western Cape confirmed the sus-
pension of the long drawn out strike action
of all farmworkers in the province.
Inapress statement releasedonTuesday,
Cosatu claims that the strike was called off
last week to give Agri-SA the opportunity
to get a mandate to the CCMA to consider
the terms for ending exploitation on farms,
as put forward by striking workers. Agri-
SA responded to say that they were not in-
terested in discussing the workers de-
mands.
We are calling off the strike actions in
all areas, so that workers can evaluate the
victories that they have gained, and plan
more carefully for theway forward, added
Tony Ehrenreich, Cosatu secretary.
Hesaidhowever that theyaregrateful for
the minimum wage increase of more than
R100 by national government as of 1March
2013.
We hope that this increase is decent and
ensures thatworkers cansustain their fam-
ilies.
Cosatu will continue to be available to
assist all workers and organisations, and
will be coordinating the mother of all
strikes against bad farmers, for later this
year should an agreement not be reached
in agriculture, with farmers, around living
wages, decent conditions on farms, and
comprehensive land reform.
Despite the 21 arrests made at Lourens-
ford Estate in Somerset West on 9 January
2013 during the latest strike action, Somer-
setWestpolicespokesperson,ConstableSu-
zanJantjies, confirmed thearea tobequiet.
We are always on high alert as police
vans continue to patrol the area, said
Jantjies.

uaryandwere releasedonawarning.Their

JAMEY THOMAS
The Strand police has confirmed the identi-
ty of the pedestrian which was struck down
and killed by one of their own in the Strand
on Friday 14 December.
The incident occurred around 17:45 in
Main Road.
A Somerset West couple, who witnessed
theaccidentwhilstdrivingto thebeachwith
a friend, related the incident toDistrictMail
last week.
According to them a woman had stopped
in the middle of the road (on the white line)
in an attempt to get to the other side when
suddenly they noticed a speeding police ve-
hicle approaching.
The driver of the car said that the police
vehicle was approaching at a very high
speedinthemiddleof theroad,andalthough
he slowed down and moved as far left as he
could in order for the police van to pass
them, the pedestrians fate was inevitable.
One of the witnesses recalls the pedestri-
an being hit by the van and flung high into
the air like a rag doll, landing face down on
the tar road.
With the intention to act as a witness for
thewoman, the couple reported the incident
totheStrandpolicestationthenextmorning
around 10:45.
The Strand police confirmed that a case
of culpable homicide had been opened
against the driver of the SAPS vehicle and
that the case is being investigated by the In-
dependentPolice InvestigatingDirectorate.
Although the police did not want to dis-
close too much information regarding the
incident pending the investigation, they fi-
nally confirmed this week that 63-year-old
Margaret Elizabeth Gall a mother of four

Fraudster behind bars once again
NIKITA SYLVESTER
Nearly a month after numerous Helderberg
businesses were conned out of thousands of
rands, the alleged conman finds himself be-
hind bars once again.
Alleged fraudster and Strand resident, Col-
inRall,wasarrestedon22December2012after
disappearing with a large sum of money be-
longing to various businesses that had spon-
sored his fictitious Helderberg Wheels and
Outdoor Expo (HWO).
Hundredsof visitorsandexhibitorsarrived

from Friday 30 November Sunday 2 Decem-
ber 2012 at the Charles Morkel Stadium in
Strand,butweremetby lockedgates,deserted
sports grounds and the event organiser Rall
nowhere to be found.
Months before Rall advertised the event
throughout the Helderberg and beyond to be
a weekend of fun and entertainment for the
whole family, as well as a charity outreach.
Rall not only conned business owners but
also his only employee, Charn Prins, and his
wife who claims she was unaware of his
whereabouts after he disappeared with the
money.
Several fraud charges were made against
Rall which led to his arrest on 22 December
2012.
Strand police have confirmed that three
fraud charges relating to the HWO expo are
currently being investigated.
According to police officers, Rall was seen
walking in Strand Roadwhen the officers im-
mediately recognised his face and arrested
him.
Rall claims that he was on his way to the
policestationat thetimetocertifydocuments.
So far Rall hasmade two court appearances
at the Strand Magistrates Court, the first on
24 December and again on 3 January 2013.
He remains in police custody at Pollsmoor
Prison until his next court appearance on 22
February.

number of arrests made for posses-

Constable Mthokozisi Gama,

the increase in these arrests was due
to increased policing, with several
road blocks held during December,
along with increased patrols.
Spokesperson for the Somerset
West police, constable Suzan

slight increase in crime over the fes-
tive season.
Macassar police spokesperson,
Constable Chrisy Young, says police
patrols also paid off in their area.
There was a general decrease in
crime compared to last year. This
might be due to a number of imbizos

Kokkiegetsaproper farewell
JAMEY THOMAS
Strand resident and Somerset
Mall car guard, Matteus van
BlommesteinKok (59),was laid to
restwith dignity thanks to his fel-
low colleagues.
When Matteus, best known as
Kokkie, died on 26 December, his
family couldnotaffordaproperburi-
al.Awareof the familys financial sit-
uationand the crisis athand, a group
of 40 Somerset Mall car guards took
the initiative to contrib-
ute R100 each towards
the funeral of their be-
loved friend.
According to Abdul-
lahSheikh,whomanag-
es thecarguards, a little
over R7 000 was raised
and handed over to the
family on 28 December.
About R4 000 was col-
lected by the car guards
and the rest was con-
tributed by Sheikh and
the company which ad-
ministers the car
guards, Golden Mile.
Kokkie was a great guy, who had
a passion for what he did. And here
at Somerset Mall he was part of the
family a family who helps each
other where they can, however they
can, said Abdullah.
Kokkie started his job as a car
guardatSomersetMall in1999,short-
ly after retiring as a typesetter atDie
Burger, where he had worked for 25
years.
According to a close friend, An-
drewBezuidenhout, they started out
as car guards together. However,
Kokkiedidmore than lookout for the
cars. He used to feed the
birds in the area every day,
and after a while they knew
when it was feeding time. He also
planted flowers outside the Mall,
laughed Andrew.
He says that Kokkie was a sweet
guywhowas a hit with each and eve-
ry customer. He had this positive
aura about him. He would get smiles
from his customers, and even hugs.
Kokkies wife, Rita would like to
express her utmost gratitude to-
wards everyone for theirmuchneed-
ed contribution. She says that the
money covered all the funeral ex-
penses and there was still some left
for a rainy day.
My husband was a peoples per-
son and its so inspirational to know
that there are still people who care
about others like he did. I am truly
grateful.
Rita did, however, not want to
make her husbands cause of death
known,but saidhehadsuffered from
prostate cancer in earlier years and
that he had endured a great deal of
painthelast fewdays.Hewasinhos-
pital for two days and during that
time slipped into a coma. He passed
away in his sleep, she said.
Kokkies funeral took place on 29
December. He will be sorely missed
by his wife, two children and three
grandchildren.

Diewemerkshulprooi in Strand-Noord
DieSAPDhet al indie verledemen-
se in die Strand-Noord-area ge-
waarsku om hul o oop te hou vir
snaakse items wat voor hul huise
of op die sypaadjie gelos word. Dit
is gewoonlik skelms of sindikate
wat jou huis vir n diefstal merk.
Einde Augustus verlede jaar is
dieeienaarvandiehuiswaarekbly
met vakansie en ek het onderneem
om na die plante buite om te sien.
Drie dae later is n broodboom
van die stoep gesteel. Die ander,
veel groter broodboom in n ewe
groter pot, (wat beslis nie deur een
menshanteerkanwordnie),hetag-
ter gebly. En juis daaromhet ek ge-
glo dat dit gespaar sou bly.
Helaas, twee weke later word n
swaar, wit sementbeeldjie skuins
agterdiepotopdiestoepontdek,net
sigbaar van die straat af. Dus is die
pot gemerk en sou seker kort
voor lank met genoeg hande agter
op n bakkie gelaai word.
As die beeldjie as n geskenk be-
doel was, dan wag jy seker tot die
mense terug isvanverlof?Diehuis-
mense is in elk geval nie beeldjie-
mense nie. Die beeldjie is dus ook
uit iemand se tuin gesteel. Geen
suidooster sal dit wegwaai nie.
Gevolglik: 1. Hou jou o oop,
Strand-Noord word geteiken.
2. Moenie broodbome langs die
pad koop nie, dit is gesteel. Dit is
soos iemand se eie kinders.

Report baddrivers
to theauthorities
After being back at work for a few
weeksnow,mostHelderbergerswill
surely agree that theholidays are al-
ready a distant memory.
Unfortunately so to are our quiet
streets.
Now that most people are back at
work and school, our streets are
once again filled with aggressive
and selfish drivers.
There seems to be more and more
bad drivers on our road every year
and less and less being done by traf-
fic officials to curb this affliction.
Insteadof joiningtheever increas-
ing number of these lawless drivers
why dont we do something about
them.
For starters,it will help if we all
make a concerted effort to obey the
rules of the roadand report repeated
offenders to the authorities.
If enough motorists keep on re-
porting these bad drivers, surely
something will be done.

Judicial system
benefits criminals
Your articles in a recent Dis-
trictMail about a con-man Mr
Rall amazes me.
People seem to be extremely
naive and so for that matter is
our judicial system!
Here is a man who was con-
victed of fraud, condemned and
locked up, then freed, and no
sooner set free again commits
fraud and is locked up again,
freed again and starting the
thing over again, and every
body trusts him, claiming how
is it possible...! while nobody
dares to say that our judges are
weak and part and parcel of the
increase of criminal activity.
Arewe the countrywhereone
can get away with murder on
conditionwe show remorse and
explain things thoroughly!
Not that one is asking for the
death penalty to be reinstated,
whichisanotherpointofdiscus-
sion, but being too lenient on
criminalsdoesnt stop themand
makes them laugh at our weak
judicial system, where more
compassion is shown towards
criminals than towards offend-
ed parties!

Useorganic herbicide
Everybody in the Helderberg is being
sprayed with dangerous chemicals on a
daily basis without their consent.
Manypeople suffer fromallergic reac-
tions to these chemicals. The spraying
on the vineyards and fruit farms causes
huge environmental damage, as well as
the municipality spraying weed killer
along the roads and around shops.
Garden services should promote or-
ganic and individual homes should be
careful. Clearing of alien vegetation
along rivers using herbicide seems a
very counterproductive way of doing
things. The rivers and seas are very pol-
luted.

Heartfelt thanks for
savingourdog
Welive inSeaviewRoad, SomersetWest
which is a very busy street as it is the
main access to Beaumont Primary
School. Somehow our little Schnauzer
got out of the gate one morning and ran
into the street. A very kind lady called
us over our intercom camera at the gate
to ask whether we were missing a dog
as a little grey dog was running in the
street amidst heavy traffic.
Thank goodness we were able to run
out of our property, where the lady was
waiting and she indicated to us that our
dog was running into Mountain Road.
Fortunately we were able to get him
backwithoutourdogbeingharmed.But
we were so distressed that we never
asked this very caring and kind lady for
hernameand telephonenumber. Please
may we use the DistrictMail to convey
ourheartfelt thanks to this kind person.
When you are elderly, as in our case,
our pet becomes very precious. Thank
you and thank you again.

FOR THE LOVE OF DOGS: The first Vine
yard Doggy Walk of 2013 in aid of Helder
berg Animal Welfare took place at the
Blaauwklippen family market this past
weekend. Pet owners and their pets could
enjoy a fun and relaxing walk in Blaauw
klippens vineyards in support of a worthy
charity. Pictured is Susan Theron with eight
weekold Harvey who took part in the walk
on Saturday. After the walk, visitors could
attend the market for an assortment of deli
ciously prepared food, wine, fresh produce,
lifestyle products and more.

Heavyweight doesnt deter wasp
Somerset West resident Fennis Parkin-
son was in awe of the scene that played
out in front of her this past weekend.
She observed a 40 mm spider hunting
wasp dragging a paralised huntsman
spideronthecouchto thekitchenonSat-
urday afternoon.
Realising wemight get stung, we put
heronamagazineandprecariously took
her into the garden. She was still at-
tached to her prey, told Parkinson.
Pulling her spider, she proceeded to
race towards thepool, so I interferedand
placed her at the other end of the pool.
I was exhausted watching her pull such
a heavy-weight over such a distance, up
walls, over bricks until she found her
nest under the shed.
Inasecondincidentover theweekend,
Parkinson saw the same female wasp
with an even bigger spider come from
thedirectionof thepool pump.Thewasp
was intent on heading for the shed.
I followed her and she managed to
stuff this huge creature through a small
space under the floor boards. Thiswasp,
Ibelieve, is fromthepompilidae family,
said this nature enthusiast.
Parkinson, who lives in Briza, Somer-
setWestwould like to get in contactwith
people who know more about this wasp
and spider. Phone her on 082 939 1242.

rangements of some rocking covers with the
hugely talented and creative forces of Jesse
Jordon, Rob Stemmett and Kevin Gibson.

progressive twist, a dangerously high dose
ofmusical instrumentation and a good smat-
tering of smokyBlues sauce to round off this
delicious original rock recipe.

lucky visitors will have the chance
tovisit thevineyardswithAvontuur

to know more about the thorough-
bred race horse industry.
General manager Pippa Mickle-
burgh will spend time with the guests.
This forms part of the exciting pro-
gramme planned for the first new-look
Stellenbosch Wine Festival this year.
We very often have visitors asking
if they can visit our stables or get to
meet some of our beautiful race horses
and its usually not possible aswe dont
want to do anything to upset the rou-
tinesof thenewmomsandbabiesorour
champion sire, VAR, says Mickle-
burgh.
However, on Monday 28 January
guests will be given the opportunity to
walk along the paddocks and to the sta-
bles for a Q & A session with Mickle-
burgh and a viewing of VAR.
After thatVanRooyenwillmeet them
for the vineyard walk and then return
them to the cellar for a wine tasting and light
lunch at the restaurant.
The cost of all of the above is R200 per per-
son. Thewalk isnt too strenuous, but partici-
pants must be reasonably fit, wear comforta-
ble shoes, sun block and hats and ensure that
they are comfortable with a reasonable
amount of walking.
Pre-bookings are essential and must be
made by Saturday 26 January. A maximum
of 20 people will be accepted.

Decision time forMusic Society
Theannualmeetingof theSomersetWestMu-
sic Society takes place on Sunday 27 January
at 18:00 in the Library hall.
This year, important decisions on which
the continuance of the society could depend
will be put to a vote.
Over the last few seasons the society has
seen a substantial decrease in membership
numbers (from 65 to 44) due to long standing
membersmoving from the area or sadly pass-
ing away. In addition the present economic
climate has had a detrimental effect on the
societys finances due to increasing fees de-
mandedbyartists,plus theLibraryHallpiano
is old and requires regular expensivemainte-
nance, said Essie Koekemoer, society chair-
person.
She added that in order to guarantee the so-
ciety remains viable, membership subscrip-
tions must be raised, and a new fee structure
for membership has been proposed.
Allmembersareurged toattend this impor-
tantmeeting, also anynonmemberswhomay
be interested in joining or offering sponsor-
ship to the society.
In a departure from the usual format, the
eveningwill commencewith a short piano re-
cital by 22 year old Megan-Geoffrey Prins, a
regularandpopularperformerforthesociety,
who travels to Cleveland (USA) at the end of
themonth to audition for a place and scholar-
ship at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

ments will be served. Phone 021 856 1847 for

Avoid financial hardship
Asthenewyearkicksoff andeconomiccon-
ditionsremainas toughasever,borrowand
manageyourdebtwisely toavoidbecoming
over-indebted,warns theNationalDebtMe-
diation Association (NDMA).
Its temptingtobuythingsyoumightnot
otherwise be able to afford on credit, but
debt can be a major drain on your finances
and dent your long-term financial goals,
says NDMA CEO, Magauta Mphahlele.
Shesays justbecause lendersmaybewill-
ing to give you a loan, doesnt mean you
should take up the loan or the full amount
offered. Before taking on creditmake sure
that you have enough money to cover your
regular expenses, emergencies and future
price increases, she adds.
Important expenses to consider include
household and car maintenance, school
fees, transport, food andmunicipality bills.
It is also important to set money aside or
have insurance to cover emergencies like
illness, death and retrenchment.
Consumers can approach the NDMA for
advice if they are not sure of what their
rights or options are.
Tips for borrowing wisely
) Understand your rights and obliga-
tions: This will ensure that you make the
right decisions. Also, know your options
and where to go in case problems arise.
) Borrow within your means: Only bor-
row what you can afford and try as much
as possible to borrow for essential things
like a house, a car, small business, educa-
tion etc.
)Make your payments on time and in
full: You may think missing a payment is
not abigdeal, butdoing sowithout the lend-
erspermissionwillnegatively impactyour
credit rating and you could paymore inter-
est in the long run.
) Understand how much interest you
will pay: The amount of the loan and the
time you take to repay the loan will have
abig impact onhowmuchyoull spendover
the life of the loan. Make sure you under-
stand how interest is calculated and what
the loanwill cost youafter all other fees and
charges are included.
) Read the small print: Dont feel pressu-
rised intosigninga loanagreementwithout
taking the time to understand the condi-
tions. Itsalsoyourrighttoaskanindepend-
ent person to explain the terms to you in
the contract before you sign.
NEW TEXTBOOKS FOR HOSPITAL: Elsevier in Somerset West, a worldwide
