Power shockCouncil wipes out pre-paid discountAnne Kruger

RESIDENTS of Draken-stein who make use of pre-paidelectricitymeterswillreceive a shock in July,when they will be payingsignificantly more fortheir power.

Residents with a singlephase 40 ampere circuitbreaker will be paying13,9%more for500unitsof electricity, closing thegapbetweenpre-paidandconventionalmetersdespi-te the fact that they are pay-ing up front for their power.

This follows a decision bythe Municipality to institutea fixed charge of R12,62 permonthonprepaidmeters,aswell as a capacity charge ofR2,49 per Amp (for a singlephase40amperecircuitbre-aker the total fee is R127,93per month including VAT).

These fees are subtractedfrom any electricity purcha-ses before units bought arereleased. It works out to asurcharge of R4,26 per dayincluding VAT for a 40 ampprepaid consumer.

This means that from 1July, residents are gettingless electricity for themoneyspent, despite a decrease inthe unit cost for prepaidfromR1,37toR1,30perunitwith VAT (on a 40 amp cir-cuit breaker).

Andpeoplewhohavebeenstockpiling pre-paid vou-chers before the increase on1Julywillbehardhit,as thedaily fee will be deducted from any new vou-chers they buy after 1 July, retrospectivelyto 1 July.

A residentwith40Ampprepaidelectricitywhobuys500unitsamonth,currentlypaysR685,42 including VAT. From 1 July, 500unitswillcostR780,86withVAT,anincreaseof R13,9%.

If the same resident buys 400 units after30 June, the price will increase from

R548,34 to R650,27 (an increase of 18,6%).The purchaser will be getting 19,1% fewerunits for his money.

Drakenstein residents with conventionalelectricity meters (40 amp category) will pay7-8%more for electricity.Withconventionalmeters,thefixedchargepermonthisR25,24plusR4,99perAmp (R199,60permonth for40Amps),whichwithVAt iseffectivelyasur-charge of R8,54 per day.

People who go away forlong holidays, will be payingthe fixed charges even whenthey are not using any elec-tricity.

According to the Munici-pality, they have applied fora13,03%electricity increase(instead of the recommen-ded 11,03%) to fund smartmeters which will charge lo-wer fees in off-peak periodsand higher fees in peak peri-ods where usage is higherthan 1000 units per month.

Itisalsoanattempttodis-courage household consu-mers from wasting electrici-ty.

Households with lowmonthly electricity con-sumptionscanbenefit by re-ducing their ampere capaci-ty (freeof charge),whilehou-seholds who use a lot ofelectricity with many appli-ances running simultane-ously, pay more for theirgreater ampere capacity.

The only consumers whodo not have to worry are tho-se with a 20 amp electricityconnection (the so-called li-

feline),wherethereisnobasiccharge or ampere charge in-volved.Theypayonly88cperunit including VAT (also anincrease of 13,9%).

Indigent consumers (thosewhohaveappliedforfinancialrelief) get the first 100 unitsfree (double the national gui-deline).

From 1 July, residents willalso be faced by increases inproperty rates (7,5%), water

(16%),sewage (7%)andrefuseremoval (7%).The increased tariffswill fund theMunici-

palitys operating budget of R1,3 billion.ThisweekMayorGesievanDeventersaid,

People who have been stockpiling prepaid vou-chers will be hard hit, as the new daily fee will be deducted retrospectively from any new vouchers they buy after 1 July.

Gaan vullis ophoop as kontrakwerk gestaak word?Lise Beyers

VERSKEIEbesighedestaartans nonsekeretoekomsindiegesigmetnmunisipalebywetwat op 1 Julie in werking tree.

Hierdie wet, 17/2007, bepaal dat nie-mand vullis mag verwyder behalwe die Mu-nisipaliteit nie of n persoon wat deur hullegemagtig is om dit te doen.

Alhoewel die Munisipaliteit slegs huisvul-lis (dit sluit kantoor- en restaurantvullis in)mag verwyder, word kontrakteurs gebruikom ander vullis soos mediese- en nywer-heidsafval te verwyder.

MaartallebesighedeinenomdiePaarlbe-skik oor n magdom huis- en kantoorvulliswat ophoop en maak dus staat op privatekontrakteursomhulvullis gereeld teverwy-der.

Een so n kontrakteur, Nico van Zyl (eie-naar van Boland Waste), s dat indien dieMunisipaliteit hom nie toelaat om voort tegaanmetsybedrywighedenie,salhysydeu-re moet sluit. Sodoende sal nie net hy en syvrou sonder werk sit nie, maar verskeie an-der mense ook.

VanZyl isenkelewekegeledeinkennisge-stel dat hy vanaf 1 Julie nie huisvullis magverwyder nie.

Ek het groot besighede wat klinte is vanmy en hulle maak op my staat om gereeldhulvullis teverwyder.Ditgaandieeindevandie pad wees vir my as ek nie meer hierdievullis mag verwyder nie.

Ek is ges dat ek om n spesiale permitkan aansoek doen, wat ek wel gedoen het.MaarekhetniksweergehoorvandieMunisi-paliteit nie en 1 Julie is om die draai.

Van Zyl het vandeesweek met n proku-reur hieroor gekonsulteer.

Dit is onkonstitusioneel dat die Munisi-paliteit my lewensreg wegneem.

Maar dit is nie net vullisverwyderings-maatskappye wat hieronder gaan ly nie.

Sakemanne is ook bekommerd oor of die

Munisipaliteit hierdie diens sal kan lewer.Antonie Botha, eienaar van die Pasadena

SpurindiePaarlsemiddedorp,het nprivatekontrakteur wat elke tweede dag 12 vullis-blikke rommel by sy besigheid afhaal.

Hulle is klokslag en hul pryse is beter asdie tariewe van die Munisipaliteit.

Ek kon tot dusver geen duidelike ant-woorde van die Munisipaliteit kry oor hoehulle hierdie vullisverwydering gaan han-teer nie. Hulle kon gerus met besighede ge-konsulteer het voordat hulle hierdie wetskielik op ons afgedwing het.

nWoordvoerdervandiePaarlMallhetge-s dat hul vullis hoogs gespesialiseerd be-stuur word.

nPrivaatkontrakteurisinbeheerhiervanen80%vanhulvulliswordherwin.Ditworddaagliks gedoen.

Verledejaarhetnmunisipaleamptenaarhier besoek afgel en ges dat hulle die be-stuur van vullis gaan oorneem.

Maar toe hy na die logistiek hir kyk, hethy erken dat hulle nie die hulpbronne hetom dit te bestuur nie.

Sedertdien het onsnognie van dieMuni-sipaliteit gehoor nie. Dit is vir ons uiters be-langrik om n ho standaard van higine tehandhaaf.

Maar by verdere navraag het die Munisi-paliteitaanMall-bestuurgesdathulleweerhieroor sal vergader.

Ander vrae wat gevra word, is wat sal diegeval wees as munisipale werkers weerstaak. Hoe gaan die strate van die Paarl niedan lyk nie?

Maar die Munisipaliteit hou voet by stukdat hulle volgens die wette van die land op-tree.

Nasionale wetgewing bepaal dat plaasli-ke owerhede die verantwoordelikheid neemmetdiebeheerenreguleringvanvasteafval-bestuur, het n munisipale woordvoerderges.

Die munisipale verordeninge bepaal datdie Munisipaliteit die diens ten opsigte vanalgemene afval (huisvullisverwydering) salvoorsien. Die voorsiening van dienste deurprivatekontrakteursmetbetrekkingtotme-diese, gevaarlike en industrile afval kansteeds deur private kontrakteurs onder-neem word.

Herwinningvanafvalkanookdeurpriva-te kontrakteurs onderneem word n n be-hoeftebepaling en sluiting van n ooreen-koms met die Munisipaliteit in di verband.

Die kontrakteurs moet egter eers by dieMunisipaliteit registreer voordat die dienstegelewerkanword.Dieregistrasieisnodigomte verseker dat die afval volgens die neerge-legdestandaardehanteerword.Privatekon-trakteurs wat tans van die dienste verskaf,kan met die Munisipaliteit onderhandel oordieoorgangsfasevirdie implementeringvandie wetgewing.

DIE plaaslike belastingbetaler sluk maar n bitter pil vanoggend metdie herinnering dat hulle nog dieper in hul sakke gaan moet graweomhulkragrekeninge tebetaalvanSondagaf. Veraldiegenemetvoor-afbetaalde kragbokse, wat altyd gedink het dat hulle effe verligtingkry en n laer tarief vir krag betaal, sal moet uithaal en wys.

Enwat juishierdie verhogingsnogsuurdermaak, isdie feit dathon-derde, indien nie duisende inwoners nie, eenvoudig hulself help aanhierdie waardevolle hulpbron, deur onwettige spaghetti-bedrading.

Ry maar deur verskeie informele gebiede en dan weet jy sommerook waar hierdie naam vandaan kom. Basies steel hierdie inwonerskrag en vir sommige mense is dit selfs n heel winsgewende besigheid.Hulle verkoop immers krag aan hul buurmense.

VolgensEskomverloorhulleenmunisipaliteitemiljoenerande jaar-liks weens hierdie onwettige bedrywighede. Word die drade verwyderis hulle in n japtrap terug.

Hoewel die Munisipaliteit die moontlikheid ondersoek om voorafbe-taaldekragstelselsbyopslaanhuiseteinstalleer,kandit nduurspulle-tjie afgee, met geen waarborg dat mense gaan betaal nie.

Dit bly weer eens die wetsgehoorsame burger en die hardwerkendebelastingbetaler wat aan die kortste ent (van die draad) trek.

Paarl PostOns trek aan kortste ent

THOSE of us who volunteer atthe Drakenstein Heemkring -Paarls private archive - oftenhave the opportunity to indul-ge in fairly random researchprojects.

A few days ago I came across ahandful of car advertisementsthat were placed in the Paarl Postduring the 1920s and 1930s.

At first Iwasata lossas towhatto do with them, then recalledthat there were quite a number ofphotographsofoldcarsandgara-ges in the Gribble Collection, andit would be interesting to matchthe two.

A closer reading of the adverti-sements also revealed a surpri-singamountofpersonaldatathatwould be of interest to people do-ing genealogical rese-arch.

ThePaarlMotorGa-rages for instancehada meeting in the townhall in November1919. We know fromthe advertisementplaced in the newspaper that JAdu Preez, I A Malherbe, PieterRoux, FJ Joubert, HBV Picksto-ne, A Devine, Jacobus Myburgh,FJKirsten,SPHdeVilliersandDJBlignaut were all directors of thefledgling company.

In1933JHHusselman,theow-ner of Good Hope Garage in MainStreet, placed an advertisementto announce that he had appoin-tedCarlWeitmannas thecompa-nys chief mechanical engineer.

Weitmann had done his initialtraining in Stuttgart, Germanyand subsequently acquired anengineering certificate in Preto-ria.

So amongst all the clippings Ilearntthatin1922aStudebackercouldbeboughtfor460fromtheBriersMotorGarage;that in1923Paarl Motor Garages sold Huds-ons for 525; and in 1924 TDDreyers Garage on the corner ofLady Grey and Main Street wasthe sole agents for Hupps.

Ever wondered about thatsunny skies and Chevrolet ad-vertisement? Well, that can betracedback toat least1929whena national survey conducted in1929foundChevrolet tobeSouthAfricans car of choice.

So in 1930 Williams, Hunt andJohnston, who had premises in

LadyGreyStreet,wereveryproudto advertise that they had SouthAfricas 30 000th Chevrolet ondisplay in their showrooms.

Some advertisements containreferences that simply make onesmile.Forinstance,whenin1932Case Motors in Breda Street ad-vertised their Hudson Essex Ter-raplanes, they were very proud toannouncethatthecarhadduringrecent road tests maintained anaveragespeedof30milesanhourbetween Cape Town and Johan-nesburg,andthatataneconomicof 23 miles to the gallon.

Todayonlyvintagecarenthusi-astswillrecognisenameslikePly-mouth, Studebaker, Hupp, Hill-man Minx,MorrisMinor and Ter-raplane; let alone businesses

such as Elite MotorWorks (1918), RetiefDeVille&Co (1926) orPaarl Motor Garages(1921) opposite Zee-derberg Square.

I was also surprisedto find an advertise-

ment placed in 1927 by the SAMotorFuelSupplyCo,alsobasedin Paarl, for natalite. The adverti-sement read: Natalite gemaak inPaarl is absoluut perfekt, nie in-vreten,goedkoop,kragtig-andona patriotic note - hou die geld inu eie land.

Natalite I subsequently foundout was a blend of alcohol andether,andthattheNatalCaneBy-Products company producedboth ether and alcohol in com-mercial quantities between 1917and 1927.

One wonders what had happe-ned to Paarls fuel company, andif it also made union spirits inthe 1930s. Union Motor Spiritswas a blend of alcohol and petroland sold in South Africa duringWorldWarIIwhenpetrolwasrati-oned and in short supply.

I digress, but it is ironic that to-day with petrol prices being whatthey are, we are not being moreassertive about creating andusing cheaper fuel from renewa-ble resources.

It is very disconcerting to thinkthat wine farmers sell bulk wineat a fraction of the price we arepaying for petrol, and that a litreof milk is cheaper than a litre ofpetrol. Why are we still using fos-sil fuel?

Daar word beweer dat die oopgatewataandiebopunte(ooste-kant) van Hoop-; Skool- en Val-leistraat gelaat is deur die kon-trakteur vir die Munsipaliteitom die nodige aansluiting vandie pype te kom doen.

Dit is alles goed en wel, maarnadat daar eers weke lank ge-soek is slegs vir die bestaandepyp en dit uiteindelik gevind is,isditnoureedsweerwekesoge-laat met klomp water daarin engeen aanduiding wat die opont-houdisofwanneerweeraandaggegee sal word nie.

Die slegste van alles is dathierdiedriegatewaarvanekeer-stehands kennis dra, op diehoekeaangebringisendiekarrenoodsaak om in die teenoorge-stelde baan te draai.

Die Paarl-Oos polisie het verlede weekn gesteelde haelgeweer, asook rondesgevind, nadat inligting vanaf die publiekopgevolg is. Die inligting het gelei tot be-slaglegging op die haelgeweer in n wo-ning in Jan Fiskaalstraat, Amstelhof,waar Jacques Maans in hegtenis geneemis. Die geweer is vroer vandeesmaandin Klapmuts gesteel. Hier is n gemeen-skapslid, Abraham Jefthas wat die poli-sie gehelp het om die betrokke inligtingop te volg, by die wapen.

Daar is so baie wat gedoen moet word,maar finansies is altyd n kwessie. Om nrioolpypleiding vir n nuwe woongebied teskep, soos byvoorbeeld langs Bolandpark,gaan alleen ongeveer R60 miljoen kos.

Die Munisipaliteit se volle beskikbarefondse vir behuising vir die 2011/2012boekjaar is maar R62 miljoen.

Verder bly Poole baie betrokke by ge-meenskapprojekte. Hy glo dat hierdie pro-jekte nie net uit bakhand-skenkings moetbestaan nie, maar dat geleenthede geskepmoet word vir opvoeding en werksgeleent-hede.

Estate agent kickstarts Franschhoek charityIN the highly competitive worldof real estate, there is not muchtimeforfocusingonanythingbutthe business. But when an agentlooks beyond the houses on hisbooks, and takes note of theneeds of the wider community,the results can be significant.

One such example is Fransch-hoek estate agent Doug Gurr, whofrom small initial acts of outreachhas built a registered non-profit or-ganisation that is literally changingthe lives of hundreds of children inthe Franschhoek Valley.

Gurr moved to the Franschhoekregion in 2002, and immediatelybegan interacting with childrenfrom the local township schools,

playing soc-cer withthem andassistingthem withlifts homefromschool.

This gavehim first-hand expe-rience of thedire conditi-ons inwhichmanywere living,and parti-cularly, thepoorlyequippedschoolingfacilitiesavailable tothem, oftenat great dis-tance fromtheir ho-mes, andwithout re-liablepublictransport.

Gurr joi-ned handswith ano-ther localresident,AmericanDave Rior-dan, and to-gether theybeganspen-

ding free time reading stories to thechildren at a local primary schooland organising sports activities forthem.

From this small beginning, theKusasa Project (meaning tomor-row in Xhosa) was born. Volun-teers were recruited and the pro-gramme began expanding to inclu-deadditionalschoolsandabroaderrange of outreach activities.

The programme was registeredasacharitable trust inSouthAfricain 2007, and is now also registeredin the UK and Holland, as well ashaving affiliation in the United Sta-tes.

Today, the Kusasa Project rea-chesnearly2000childrenatsixdif-ferent schools in the FranschhoekValley, plus a number of crchesand its own Early Learning Centre,which opened in January this year,thanks to funds raised via Kusasadonors.

The projects Breakfast Clubfeeds over 700 children every dayand has just served up its 500000thmeal,whileanetworkof over60volunteersreadsto thechildren,helps them with homework andtransport, and organises field tripsto broaden their horizons.

The project also raises funds forhigh school scholarships andschooluniforms,andoffersclubac-tivities likeballet, chess, art, soccerand running extra-mural activi-tiesthatwerepreviouslybeyondthe

reach of these children due to acomplete absence of funding andtransport.

Lifeskillsprogrammeshelpbuildthe childrens self-confidence, andteach positive social interaction,emphasising values of respect andunity.

Gurr,whoworks forPamGoldingProperties Franschhoek branch,says many of the volunteers are af-fluent residents of the valley.

Thus they build bridges betweencommunities who might otherwisenever connect, improvingsocial co-hesion in the Valley.

TOURNAMENT. Children enjoy a football tournament organised by the KusasaProject.

HeritagesymposiumTHEtragedyof the forcedremovalsofblackand coloured communities by the govern-ment during Apartheid will be commemo-rated during a function to be held in PaarlinOctober.Itwill formpartofthetenthsym-posium of Heritage South Africa from 4 to6 October, hosted by the Drakenstein Her-itage Foundation.

Social historians, researchers, archi-tects and restorers will discuss the socialand economic history of the Valley and itsinfluenceonthedevelopmentofthefamousCape homesteads. They will discuss howthe three forces indigenous peoples, set-tlers and slaves combined to shape ourheritage.

Guests will visit 18th century sites in thecentre of town and on surrounding farmsduring the symposium, which has the the-meFromsurvivaltoopulencein100years:the rise of the Cape Dutch manor house.

The symposium will trace the develop-ment of the Cape from its geological begin-nings, through the earliest inhabitants, tothe arrival of the Dutch East India Compa-ny.

Theendeavoursofthesepeople,together,created the wealth that gave rise to theSumptuary Laws (die Wet van Prag enPraal) of Governor Rijk Tulbagh 100 yearslater to curb the ostentatious display ofopulence.

Thisperiodofprosperity is still represen-ted by many examples of Cape vernaculararchitecture in the Drakenstein Valley.

Everyoneiswelcome.Thesymposium, inthe hall of the Toringkerk, will be of specialinterest to members of heritage societiesand those who are interested in heritageand cultural history of all the people ofSouth Africa.

On 4 October there will be a function tocommemorateforcedremovalsofblackandcoloured communities by the Apartheidstate during the late 50s and 60s. At thefunction there will be a powerpoint presen-tation of the unveiling of Blue Heritage Pla-ques at De Poort, School Street, Die OuTuin, Berg Street and Market Street.

MemoriesofoldPaarlwill be relived -his-toric photographs and memorabilia will beondisplay,and therewill be talksbypeoplewho experienced the removals first-hand.

KWV launches new wineKWVhasannouncedthebirthofanewran-ge of wines under the banner of Concordia,anamethatembodiestheheritageandskillthat went into their making.

Therangecomprisestwoblendsredandwhite that represent a proud South Afri-can tradition.

The farmLaConcordia (meaningharmo-ny) was given to the French Huguenot Ga-briel LeRoux in1689,andwineproductionon the property commenced soon after.

KWV acquired the farm in 1941 andwhenthecompanygrewtoo large for its for-mer premises, a new head office was con-

structed there.The stately building, on the Main Street

side of the farm, was named La Concordeand remains a landmark of this pictures-que town in the Cape winelands.

Concordia is also a tribute to the balanceof natures elements achieved throughcraftsmanship.

The KWV Concordia Red is made prima-rilyfromCabernetSauvignonwithportionsof Shiraz and Merlot.

TheKWVConcordiaWhite isa livelywinethat melds Sauvignon Blanc with equalparts of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay.

Top ten Cabernets shine on listCHRISTIAN EEDES, in partnership withSanlam Private Investments (SPI), has re-vealed the top ten wines in his first annualCabernet Sauvignon Report.

Among them were local wines like Gra-ham Beck The Coffeestone 2009 and Toka-ra2009 (both five stars) andRicketyBridgePaulinas Reserve 2009 (four and a halfstars.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a much-lovedvariety, andacategory inwhichSouthAfri-ca traditionally does well, said Eedes, itwas therefore a natural choice for this re-port, placing more focus on the potentialof this variety to produce wines that cancompete with the worlds best.

Thewinningwineswere judged byan ex-

pert panel, chaired by Christian Eedes,with 60 carefully chosen Cabernet Sauvig-non wines subjected to in-depth scrutinyof theirstrengthsandweaknesses, thenra-ted.
