“UITERS bekostigbare pret”, aldus Toyota.En hulle is nie verkeerd nie. Die tweedeur-sportmotor met agterwielaandrywing (soospuriste dit verkies) het Toyota weer “cool” ge-maak.

Baie Toyota modelle kan gesien word as ‘n“sinvolle keuse”, maar die 86 koop jy met jouhart. ‘n Vriend van my meen die ware toetsvan motor koop is die vraag: “Sal jy dié motorself wil was?” As die antwoord nee is, beweegdie motor jou nie.

Kom ons begin by die begin, en met ‘n motorsoos dié is dit onder die enjinkap. Daar is ‘ntweeliter-viersilinder-boxer-enjin, afkomstigvan Subaru. Daar was groot samewerkingtussen Toyota en Subaru in die ontwikkeling

van die motor (Toyota besit ’n groot aandeelin Subaru). Die enjin lewer ‘n skaflike 147 kWen 205 Nm, nie verbysterend baie nie, maargenoeg om jou in die moeilikheid te kry. Diesesgang-outomatiese ratkas (daar is ook ’nsesgang-handrat opsie) is afkomstig uit dieLexus IS350 en die motor word by Subaru seaanleg gebou.

Dis ‘n lekker klein motor en die dak pasonder jou arm. As jy inklim is die sitposisielaag, byna op die grond, wat die sportiewe ka-rakter beklemtoon.

Daar is vier sitplekke en selfs vir ‘n grootou soos ek is die spasie nie te knap nie, maardaar sal verseker nie iemand agter my kan sitnie. Die binneruim van swart leer is met rooistiksels afgewerk en die instrumentpaneel issportief met ’n groot analoog-toereteller regvoor jou. Die spoedlesing is digitaal en binne-

in die toereteller geleë.As jy die motor aanskakel kan jy nie help

om te glimlag nie. Stewig in die sportsitplekmet jou hande op die klein stuurwiel (35.6 cm)en voet op die versneller voel jy soos ‘n waf-ferse renjaer. Die enjin se toere vloei vryliken daar is 7500 r/min om mee te speel. Ek waseers teleurgesteld dat ek nie ‘n handrat modelgekry het nie, maar die outokas was ‘n open-baring. Die outo-ratskakeling gebeur in ’nblitsige 0.2 sekondes en die 86 bestuur heel le-wendig, veral met die gebruik van die spaneagter die stuurwiel.

Dis ‘n regte bestuurders-motor. Die stuurmet die klein stuurwiel is direk en met die laegravitasiepunt en goeie greep kan jy die mo-tor plaas in ’n draai en die lyn hou. Met aan-drywing deur die agterwiele is die karakteren bestuurseienskappe heeltemal anders as ‘n

voorwielaangedrewe blitsbuks, en as jy metdie sport-modus knoppies begin speel moet jyjou storie ken.

Ek het al in heelwat sportmotors gery.Groot menere soos Lotus, Porsche en Lam-borghini. Dit sit nie in veel bestuurders sebroek om sulke motors se volle potensiaal teontgin nie. Jy ry vinnig, maar jy weet daaris meer, buite jou bereik. Dis nie die geval metdie 86 nie. Jy kan een word met die motor, sypotensiaal ontgin. Jy kan ry, en as jy klaar iskan jy voel dat jy ook ‘n sportmotor tot syuiterstes kan vat. Die motor laat jou uitbun-dig lag en laat jou so goed voel soos ‘n super-model se kêrel. Is dit nie wat jy van ‘n sport-motor wil hê nie? En die prys? Die 86 beginonder R300 000.

Bekostigbare pret? Vir seker! En ek sal homsélf wil was.

BO: Die Toyota 86 versnel van 0­100km/h in7.65 sekondes met ‘n top snelheid van226km/h.

REGS: Die outo­ratskakeling gebeur in ’nblitsige 0.2 sekondes en die 86 betuur heellewending, veral met die gebruik van spaneagter die stuurwiel.

GENERALl Motors het so pas hul nuweIsuzu bakkie in Suid-Afrika bekendgestel.

Omdat die bakkiemark so groot deel vandieSuid Afrikaanse motor verkope uitmaak, isdie nuweling groot nuus op die plaaslike 2013-motorkalender. Die nuwe KB is van 11 tot 13Maart na groot afwagting deur plaaslike me-dia begroet en in dieHoedspruit omgewing opdie proef gestel.Die Isuzu het nie teleur gestel nie. Die sesde

generasie van die bakkies is 260mm langer,60mm wyer en ook 60mm hoër, wat betekendat hierdie bakkie ’n ruimer kajuit en groterlaairuimte as sy voorganger bied. Daar is nou21 verskillende modelle met ’n keuse vanBase, Fleetside, LE en LX spesifikasie vlakke,2.4 petrol of 2.5 en 3.0 liter diesel enjins endaarby is dieKB300 dubbelkajuit ook noumet‘n outokas beskikbaar.Die binneruim is opgeknap en ruim, terwyl

die agterste passasiers in die dubbelkajuitnou 25mm meer spasie het, wat dit van dieruimste dubbelkajuit bakkies in die markmaak. Die instrumentepaneel is modern, dogprakties en herhinder in die top modelle baieaan die Trailblazer, maar die bekleedsel is ’nmeer praktiese donker kleur. Ons toetsvoer-tuig het gespog met Bluetooth-koppeling, ’nses-luidspreker klankstelsel, klimaat beheeren leer sitplekke, terwyl die ritgehalte tipiesIsuzu gemaklik was op beide teer en grond-pad.Van die pad af het die Isuzu beïndruk met

sy vier-trek vermoë, waar lede van die mediadie geleentheid gehad het om die bakkies op’n 4x4 hindernis baan behoorlik te toets. Dieverbeterde grondvryhoogte dra by tot beternadering- en vertrekhoeke, terwyl die lae-strek en ewenaarslot verseker het dat daargeen hindernis was waar die Isuzu nie diemas kon op kom nie.

DIE jaarlikse Beeld Buitelug Skou bied skou-gangers en vakansie liefhebbers die geleent-heid om elke leefstyl produk denkbaar ondereen dak te aanskou en te vergelyk.

As sulks het hierdie skou die premier ge-leentheid geword vir Leefstyl Produk Fabri-kate om hul nuwe produkte aan die markbekend te stel en die 2013 skou was geen uit-sondering nie. Verskeie nuwe produkte hetdie lig gesien en die Suid- en Oos-Kaap wasinderdaad goed verteenwoordig. Alhoewelplaaslike lesers nie noodwendig die skou konbywoon nie, baie van die nuwe produkte hierin ons omgewing te sien en beskikbaar is.Travelstar in Knysna het twee nuwe

produkte na die mark gebring. Die eerste isdie Desert Wanderer kampeer eenheid watagter-op ‘n 4x4 bakkie gemonteer kan wordom dit in ‘n ideale toer- en verken-voertuig teomskep. Hierdie selfonderhoudende eenhedekan individueel ingerig word volgens elkekliënt se behoeftes en kan op Toyota Hilux,Nissan Navara, VW Amarok en Toyota LandCruiser bakkies gemonteer word.Daarby het Travelstar ook die nuwe Isuzu

Dubbelkajuit 4x4 motorwoonwa bekend ge-stel as goedkoper alternatief vir hul grootMercedes-Benz motorwoonwa lorries. Die

voertuig bied sit- en slaapplekvir ‘nhele fami-lie om in gemak te kan toer. Aanvullend enas alternatief tot hierdie reeks is dienuwe Ive-co Daily 4x4 modelle in beide dubbel- en en-kelkajuit ook bekend gestel en is so goed deurdie publiek ontvang dat die hele besendingIveco’s op die eerste dag van die skou reedsvan die hand gesit is.Fendt Woonwaens het hul 2013 reeks

bekend gestel en die premier fabrikaat hetook fluks besigheid gedoen op die skou. DienuweFendtWoonwaensword ingevoer vanafDuitsland en bied ‘n luukse en kwaliteit alter-natief tot die plaaslike produkte.Ander plaaslik-gesetelde fabrikate wat op

die skouverteenwoordigwas isArctic Trucksen Hymermotorwoonwaens. Oudergewoontehet die Arctic Trucks groot belangstellinggelok, terwyl die super luukse Hymer motor-woonwa, gebou op ‘n Mercedes-Benz onder-stel en ten volle ingevoer vanaf Duitsland,sommige na hul asems laat snak het. ‘n Pre-mier voertuig soos hierdie is nouwel nie elkebegroting beskore nie, maar mense het tougestaan om te sien hoe luuks mens werklikkan reis.Met die produkte plaaslik beskikbaar sal

Fuel in die toekoms in diepte berig oor vandie nuwe voertuie, net die ding om die wan-derlust in ons verslaggewers en lesers aan tewakker.

KOUGA residents are a significant stepcloser to being able to purchase“clean” electricity.

This follows the turning of the first sod forthe construction of the R2 billion Red CapWind Farm project on Friday.It is expected that the 32-turbinewind farm,

to be constructed at Oyster Bay, will go intooperation during the second quarter of 2014and inject in excess of R250 million into com-munity upliftment pro-jects.The wind farm, which was named as one

of the preferred bidders in the Government’sindependent power producer procurementprogramme in December 2011, will generate80MW of clean and renewable energy. This isenough energy to supply 100 000 households.“Today signifies the true start of a greener

economy and benefits that will follow,”MarkTanton, a director of the wind farm, said onFriday. “However, we need everyone to sup-port our destiny, as we can only change thedestiny of the people of the area by workingtogether.”Tanton continued: “The construction of the

Kouga Wind Farm is the realization of adream to build a proudly South African windfarmwith significant community ownership.“Red Cap contracts in specific internation-

al expertise in the absence of local bases ex-pertise, but has partnered exclusively with

South African companies to develop and ownthe wind farm, as it is committed to ensuringthat significant skills transfer takes place.”According to Tanton 250 jobs will be creat-

ed during the construction phase. Seventeenof these jobs will be unskilled labour whichwill be sourced locally. The remainder willbemade up of a balance between semi-skilledand skilled jobs to be sourced locally asmuchas possible.Apart from generating clean and renewa-

ble energy, the project will benefit local com-munities through the Red Cap Kouga Com-munityDevelopmentTrust. TheTrust,whichholds a 26% shareholding in the project com-pany courtesy of an Industrial DevelopmentCorporation loan, will derive income off thesale of electricity and this will be used to up-lift the local community by funding health,welfare, education, local infrastructural andenterprise development projects.According to the SA minister of energy,

Dipuo Peters, local community membersmust realise that they will not only be 26%stakeholders, but they are also responsibleand accountable for the extend of the successof the project. “They must help support thedestiny of the people in the community,” saidPeters.For a video of the sod turn-ing ceremony, visit our web-site www.kougaexpress.co.zaand click on Multimedia.

’n Jack Russel, wat haar lyf wikkel van opgewondenheid as gasteaankom, se bydrae tot die toerismebedryf in Jeffreysbaai gaangemis word.

Na jare van vyf-ster-diens, moes die eienaars van House Pin-naquin hul viervoetige gasvrou, wat die harte van gaste van re-goor die wêreld gesteel het, groet na sy aan longkanker dood is.Volgens HettieMatthee vanHouse Pinnaquin, was die 16-jarige

Pepsi ’n “golden oldie” wat elke gas gretig verwelkom en ge-durende ontbyt geselskap gehou het.Matthee, wat Pepsi saam met haar van Kempton Park na Jef-

freysbaai gebring het, vertel sy kon nie wag om met die gaste te“gesels” nie.En sy het presies geweet wanneer hier gaste is.“As hier die dag nie dag nie gaste was nie, het sy stil en dood-

tevrede op die matjie in die kamer gelê. Maar sodra gaste inkom,het sy haar lyf reggeskud en afgesuiker eetsaal toe om met hullete gesels,” vertel Matthee.“Van die gaste het selfs vir haar gewag voor hul met hul ontbyt

begin het.”Wanneer Pepsi nie met die gaste gepraat het nie, het sy op die

strand baljaar waar sy met almal - mens of dier - gekommunikeerhet.Volgens Matthee gaan haar sprankelende persoonlikheid deur

almal, maar veral hul gereelde gaste, gemis word.Matthee bedank almal vir hul pragtige boodskape en elkeenwat

’n ruiker gestuur het, vir Heloise en Adel, asook Dr. Glanville,Dr. Kriel en Melis-

sa van die Oribi Dierehospitaal.

JEFFREYS Bay, Paradise Beach and Aston Bay nowhave their very own innovative plastic pipe binswhere fishermen can throw away their broken or

used lines - the first of its kind in the Eastern Cape.

This project aims to reduce the severe environmentaldamage caused by discarded fishing line on coastlinesin the area.John Kieser, Manager from PlasticsSA, said: “We fre-

quently see sea birds and marine life trapped or killed

as a result of fishing line thatwas not properly discardedor removed from our oceans beaches. Discarded fishingline is listed under the top ten pollutants on beaches andis the most hazardous to animals such as penguins andseals. It is sometimes accidentally ingested by birds andanimals, resulting in injury or death. Fishing line is alsoused by birds for nesting material, causing chicks to be-come trapped in nests.“Each year, the results of the International Coastal

Clean-Up show that discarded fishing line continues tobe a major pollutant on our country’s beaches. To thisendwe partneredwith the SouthernAfrican Plastic PipeManufacturers Association (SAPPMA) and one of itsmembers, DPI Plastics, who provided funding and PVCpipes which are converted into bins that can be erectedon beaches, are resistant to the elements and corrosionand prevent the lines from blowing away.”Kieser said: “By increasing public awareness about

the negative impacts that fishing line debris has on ma-rine life, water quality, and human welfare, we hope toreduce the amount of fishing line entering and remain-ing in the marine environment, as well as to increasethe amount of fishing line being recycled.“We are hoping to eventually recycle the discarded

fishing line bins into benches. Our wish is that thisproject will educate the public in the responsible dispos-al of plastics and the sensitivity of our oceans, so theycan still provide joy for many years to come.”

How does it work?The plastic pipe bins are unlike standard round binsfoundat beaches – they look just like the submarine peri-scopes used by skippers to scout for threats on the sur-face of the water.They are made from PVC elbow pipes that are mount-

ed on long wooden poles. The bins have an opening atthe top, where the pipe curves, and the bottom is sealedto prevent fishing line from blowing away.The binshave beenplaced at beaches and fishing spots

in the area and anglers are encouraged to use them torecycle or dispose of their used fishing line. Johan Fou-rie fromGreenGuardian is responsible for opening binsand removing the fishing line on a regular basis.

TEENS experience a lot of tension they do not know how toget rid of.

Headaches, the urge to escape it all, hormonal upheaval,stomach ache, depressive episodes, aggression and other moreserious illnesses are all side-effects of stress

I advise them to practice methods to control stress and reac-tions (below).

Methods to control or master your reactions:These simple methods only work if one applies it.Breathing exercises – breathe deeply. Count up to 5 whilebreathing in, and 4 to breathe out. Repeat 5 times..Count – Silently count (slowly) to 10 or 20 or until you havesufficient control over your reactions. The counting will de-crease with time as you learn to control yourself..Humour – Divert tension or your own anger with appropri-ate humour. Make light of a potentially explosive situationwithout being flippant or insensitive..Calming - When anxious (eg in dentist chair or interview)divert your attention and focus on something positive or calm-ing. Imagine a tranquil setting (eg next to a stream of water)or having a fun-filled moment (eg at the beach). Deliberatelyslow your breathing..Perspective – Ask yourself how bad it really is. Does the cur-rent situation really warrant such an extreme reaction?.Thoughts – Learn to exert control over your thinking pro-cesses..Walk away – Turn around and walk away if the situationdoesn’t warrant attention or if it is potentially explosive. How-ever, don’t be disrespectful or abusive in the process..Pray – Quietly pray. Focus away from the aggravation or ag-gressor.Source: creatix counselling

Relax - and deal withstressTHE Easter long weekend is just around the corner.

Some families may be planning a trip away from home;while others may stay home and leave only for short peri-ods to visit relatives and friends. It’s also a busy periodfor criminals who see empty homes as easy targets.

One way of ensuring that you can rest assured over theEaster holiday is to address your security needs before youleave home.MartinKriel,ManagingDirector ofADTSecu-rity East Coast Region, says that the first step is to makesure that your home alarm system is working properly.

“Contact your security service provider to help you totest your alarm. While you have them on the line, checkthat they have your correct contact details so that no time

is wasted if something does happen.”Walking around the perimeter of your house will give

you a good idea of how secure your yard is. Kriel suggestslooking out for anything that could help a burglar enteror escape from your property.

“Make sure that the locks on gates are in a good condi-tion and check that all outdoor lights work.”

Once you are satisfied that the outside of your home issecure, do a similar check on the inside. Starting with thewindows and outward leading doors, check that eachlocks securely from the inside. Then make your way fromroom to room storing any expensive items and importantpersonal documents in a locked drawer or safe.

“Owners can also take additional precautions,” saysKriel. “If you are going to be away for morethan a day or two, consider installing a timerto turn certain lights on and off in the morn-ings and evening. Avoid mail piling up in thepost-box by asking a relative, friend or neigh-bour to collect it.”

Take one last look around your home whenyou are ready to hit the road, Kriel suggested.

Restassured this Easter

baie min geld oopgemaak. Nou, vier maandelater, pluk ons die vrugte van ons geloof enharde werk,” vertel Delport. “’n Mens moetaltyd sorg dat daar ’n wye verskeidenheid ge-bak in die winkel is om van die kies.”Delport sê daar moet altyd interessante en

ongewone gebak wees, soos Ciabatta-brood.Dit help nie ’n tuisnywerheid het net sjoko-lade- enwortelkoekenie. ’nBelangstelling omte bak en nuwe resepte op die proef te stel,is belangrik. Deursettingsvermoë en ’n goeiebestuurstyl sorg vir sukses.“Ons baksters weet dat ons nie ’n koek wat

gebrand of skeef is, verkoop nie. Die gebakmoet 100% wees. Dit moet vars wees, netjiesvertoon en lekker smaak.”Die Delport’s se filosofie is eenvoudig:

kwaliteit produkte, die beste en vriendelikediens en voortreflike higiëne.

INJeffreysbaai sal jy niemaklik lekkerderen smaakvoller pasteie kry as dié wat dieMengelmoes Kardoes daagliks vars verk-

Só sê mede-eienaar Lawrence Delport, wateinde verlede jaar dié heerlike tuisnywerheidin Da Gama-weg saam met sy vrou, Mickey,oopgemaak het.“Dit is die allerbestewat jy te koop sal kry,”

sê Lawrence. Volgens hom word slegs die be-ste bestanddele gebruik. ’n Stukkie been, vetof hoendervelletjie sal jy nie raakbyt nie endie deeg van die pasteie verkrummel nie metdie eerste bytslag nie. Elke pastei is totboordens toe vol met die allerheerlikste vul-sels. Die tuisnywerheid verkoop ’n verskei-denheid pasteie en die gunsteling is die Ox-tail-pastei. Die hoender en sampioene is ook’n treffer. En so ook al die ander soorte vulselswat enige lekkerbek tevrede sal stel. Law-rencewaarksu: “Jy kan verslaaf raak aan onspasteie en die drumpel begin deurtrap ná dieeerste hap.”Behalwevir die pasteie, verkoopdie tuisny-

werheid ook ’n groot verskeidenheid gebak,waarvan Mickey se koeksisters en tuisge-maakte gemmerbier gunstelinge is. Die vla-koek vlieg ook van die rakke.Die rakke kreun onder smulleker melk-

terte, koeke, ingelegte vrugte en groente, be-skuit, koekies, heuning, asook tuisgebaktebrood.Lawrence en Mickey het ’n aantal baksters

wat sorg dat daar daagliks vars gebak in diewinkel is.Hoe kry hulle dit reg om in moeilike tye die

HUNDREDS of parrots and birds will be auc-tioned during theEast CapeBirdClub’s annu-al auction which will be held at Open Sky,next to the N2 highway on the outskirts ofPort Elizabeth on Saturday.

“Bird breeding is very time consuming andhas various degrees of expert skills needed de-pending onhowsuccessful youwant to be,” saidMorné du Preez from the East Cape Bird Club.According to Du Preez, there are two types

of birds or parrots that are marketed. Birdsthat have been hand raised, tamed and whichcan be handled as pets. Then there are thoseraised by their parents and these birds or par-rots are more sought after by breeders asbreeding stock.“It is one thing to breed and raise young

birds, but another thing todetermine their sex,ring them and successfully market them.”

Du Preez explained that birds and parrotsare normally sexed either by drawing theirblood and sending it to a laboratory to deter-mine whether it’s male or female; or alterna-tively having a vet to sedate the bird or parrotand using an endoscope to determine if theyhave an egg stick or testes.“Birds surgically sexed are tattooed under

their left wing as females and right wing asmales. Only when sexed and wrung can thebirds be placed on auction,” said Du Preez.)Birds will be booked in at Open Sky on Fri-day (22March) and there will be a social gath-ering from 16:00 to 22:00 where one can inter-act with other bird and parrot lovers. The ac-tual auction takes place on Saturday (23March) from 10:00 onwards.The public are most welcome to visit and

experience this interesting hobby and viewsome of the birds on display. For more infor-mation contact Morné du Preez on 0041 4078189 or dpreezm@telkom.co.za

NOG aansoeke van plaasboere is by die departemenetvan arbied vir die kwytskelding van die minimumloon vir werkers ingedien.

Teen 15 Maart is altesaam 1 432 aansoeke ontvang, aldus Nkosinathi Nhleko, direkteur-generaal van dieDepartement van Arbeid.

Met die aanvang van die minimumloon van R105op 1 Maart het die departement net meer as 900 ver-soeke ontvang.

Geen regulasie bestaan dat boere na die aanvangvan ‘n sektorale vasstelling nie meer aansoek virvrystelling kan doen nie, maar dit blyk dat die aa-noeke aan die toeneem is.

Die nuutste syfers teen 15 Maart vertoon so: alte-saam 291 boere in Mpumalanga, 143 in Limpopo, 591

in die Wes-Kaap, 107 in die Oos-Kaap, 101 in die Noord-Kaap, 56 in die Vrystaat, 21 in Noordwes, 97 in Kwazu-lu-Natal en 25 in Gauteng het aansoek om vrystellinggedoen.

Nhleko het aan die Parlement se portefeulje-komitees vir arbeid en landbou, bosbou en visseryegesê die departement verwerk nou die data van dieaansoeke wat ontvang is. Soos die data verwerk word,word briewe aan boere uitgereik sodat hulle ont-brekende inligting kan verskaf.

Hy het gesê boere sal van die uitslag van hulle aan-soek in kennis gestel word sodra die verwer-king vandie dokumentasie afgehandel is.

Dit sal die departement sowat drie weke neem omdie aansoeke te finaliseer wat hulle tans het, het Nhle-ko gesê.

DIE mikpunt is om 50 miljoen kilogram wolper jaar in Suid-Afrika te produseer, sê Har-ry Prinsloo, NWKV-voorsitter.

Die plaaslike wolskeeropbrengs gaan diejaarlikse mikpunt van 50 miljoen kilogramin die huidige gunstige markomgewing be-haal.

Prinsloo, sê die wolmark is in ’n opboufasená die terugslag twee tot drie jaar geledeweens slenkdalkoors onder skape. Produsentebehaal tans tussen R60 en R65 per kilogram.

Prinsloo het op die kongres van Vry-staatse tak van die NWKV in Bloemfonteingesê die 44 miljoen kilogram wol wat die af-gelope produksiejaar gelewer is, is sowat10% hoër as die voorafgaande jaar.

“Dit is egter kommerwekkend dat die ver-swakking van die Rand weens die verkeerderedes gebeur,” sê Prinsloo. “Die kosteknyp-tang bly ’n kopseer in die landbou.”Styging in lone en elektrisiteitNog ’n kommerwekkende aspek van die be-dryf is dat die styging in die wolprys van so-wat 27% ongedaan gemaak word deur diestyging in lone, elektrisiteit en die ander uit-gawes. Volgens ekonoom Ernst Janovskykan dit tot 30% en selfs meer beloop.

Prinsloo sê die goeie nuus van die huidigeoplewing in wol is dat die internasionalemarkte weer van Suid-Afrika se wolproduk-sie kennis neem.

“Wol het skynbaar sy plek in die verbrui-ker se klerekas behou, ten spyte van dieekonomiese insinking wat in Europa enelders steeds gevoel word. Die verbruik iswel ietwat laer, maar die produk as deel vandie natuurlike vesels is steeds in aanvraag.Wêreldwyd word ’n terugkeer na natuurlikevesels ondervind,” sê Prinsloo.

Met verwysing na die gehalte van die SA-skeersel, flikker gevaarligte vir Prinsloo.Die plaaslike produsent sal moet aandagskenk aan die besoedelingsvlakke van dieSA skeersel, wat een van die uitdagings opdie internasionale mark is.Bron: Landbou.com

JEFFREYS Bay will soon not only beknownas the surfingmecca of theworld,but also as a renewable energyhub of the

Eastern Cape.

This tranquil town is set to be home to thefirst Energy Information Centre in South Af-rica.Situated at the back ofMentors Plaza across

theN2, the Centrewill be constructed at a costof R35 million. It is estimated that the firstdust will be drilled in the second part of theyear.Signifying the start of this project was the

sod turning ceremony on Friday attended bythe SA Minister of Energy Dipuo Peters, drWolseyBarnard fromtheDepartment ofEner-gy and Mlibo Qoboshiyane from the LocalGovernment of Traditional Affairs.“The idea is to establish an energy informa-

tion centre that will inform the general publicabout the electricity and energy sector inSouth Africa. It will also be utilised for train-ing of learners and students regarding energyoptions in South Africa and how the electrici-ty system is functioning,” said Peters.“Various scalemodels of coal fire,wind, PV,

hydro and nuclear plants will be exhibited. Inaddition, a small control room will also beavailable where the electricity network andthe way each energy carrier are supplyingelectricity into the grid, will be explained.

“An auditorium is also planned where larg-er groups of visitors and learners can be ac-commodated.”It is proposed that the site will only be sup-

plied with renewable energy. The design will,furthermore, be energy friendly, sustainableof nature andwill be constructed fromnatural

material from the surrounding area.A look-out platform is also planned from

where the various wind farms, of which onewill be next to the site, will be visible.According to Peters there are three wind

farms under construction in the Kouga area,as well as a fourth one in the process to reachfinancial closure. “Motorists will drive be-tween wind generators and these wind farmswill attract attention and spark interest in en-ergy. Hence the idea of an energy informationand training centre at this particular area,said Peters.

AFTER challenged in court and declared nulland void, the Kouga Municipality is now inthe process of reviewing their Liquor Tra-ding Hours By-law to regulate liquor tradinghours.

According to municipal spokespersonMfundo Sobele the municipality does nothave a by-law to regulate liquor tradinghours at this stage, hence the urgency. “Theone we had, was challenged in court and ren-dered null and void,” said Sobele.“Stakeholders in all wards will have an op-

portunity to make inputs on proposals fromthemunicipality. Businesseswill also be partof the public participation process and willhave a fair chance tomake inputs about a pos-sible impact. Only after all the informationhas been collated, and council has adoptedthe final draft, will we be in a position to say

what the new trading hours will be.”It is expected that the by-lawwill be promul-

gated before the end of June this year.According to the proposed by-law liquor

may be sold at liquor/ bottle stores, wineshops and retail food shops from 09:00 - 18:00,while liquor may be sold at a hotel from 11:00- 02:00 the following day. Most other licensedpremises, including B&B’s, guest houses,backpaker’s lodges, a pub, tavern, night cluband restaurant, are allowed to sell liquor be-tween 11:00 - 24:00.The by-law is available for inspection dur-

ing normal working hours at municipal offic-es in Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp, St FrancisBay, Hankey and Patensie.The documents can also be viewed on the

municipality’s website at www.kouga.gov.za.Any comments or objection in respect of the

by-law must be submitted in writing to theMunicipal Manager, 33 Da Gama Road, Jef-freys Bay, before April 26 at 12:00.

ILSE KRIGE & TINNEKE GOEDHALS

’nBesluit oor die beoogde kernkragsentrale byThyspunt kan binne die volgende drie wekeverwagword. Slegs die heel laaste formaliteitemoet nog afgehandel word,maar die nasionaleMinister van Energie het die finale sê.

’nHooggeplaaste in dié departement het diéversekering gegee tydens ’n besoek Vrydagaan Thyspunt deur die minister, Dipuo Pe-ters, kundiges van haar departement en di-rekteure van Eskom.Op ’n gemeenskapsvergadering op Hu-

mansdorp kon gemeenskapslede vrae aan dieminister rig.Diemeeste vraehet oorwerksge-leenthede gehandel.Peters het verduidelik dit verg langtermyn-

beplanning, omdat mense wat by kernkrag-sentrales werk, behoorlik opgelei moet wees.Sy het op ’n vraag van Peter Raubenheimer,

’n gemeenskapslid, oorwatter soort tegnologieby die kernaanleg gebruik gaan word, gesê ditsal op die aanbeveling van ’n kommissie ge-beur en kan nie nou al gespesifiseer word nie.Nóg ’n teenwoordiger wou weet watter

planne gereed is indien ’n noodgeval souontstaan, wie verantwoordelik gehou gaanword en hoe dit aan internasionale vereistesgaan voldoen.Daarop was die antwoord dat verbeterde

tegnologie slegs ’n 1 km- tot 3 km-ontrui-mingsgebied vereis. “Dit is ’n moderneontwerp en veiligheidskonsep wat gerugste-un word deur dubbele noodstelsels.”Die uitlatings is egter deur die Thyspunt-al-

liansie verwerp. Die alliansie, ’n inwo-nersdrukgroep, het die inligting dat slegs en-kele formaliteite nog afgehandel moet word,ten sterkste veroordeel.“Ongegronde uitlatings soos hierdie werp

twyfel op die onafhanklikheid van die proses

wat tot dusver gevolg is, met betrekking totdie bepaling van die korrekte terrein vir dieoprigting vanKernkrag 1,” het TrudieMalan,koördineerder van die Thyspunt-alliansie,gister in ’n verklaring gesê.“Dit lyk of die departement geen respek het

vir die proses van openbare deelname watdeur die Grondwet onderskryf word nie.”Thyspunt blyk in hierdie stadium die

eerste keuse te wees vir die oprigting van diekernkragaanleg, maar dit hang alles af vandie omgewingsimpakstudie, sê dr. WolseyBarnard, adjunk-direkteur-generaal van dieDepartement van Energie.VolgensBarnard sal dit onverantwoordelik

wees om nou te sê wanneer ’n besluit geneemgaan word omdat die departement van om-gewingsake eers goedkeuring moet gee voordie kabinet die groen lig kan gee. “Die proses,wat ook die verkryging van tenders insluit,kan nog minstens tien jaar duur,” s Barnard.Hy sê verder enige kernkragbedrywigheid

het ’n internasionale komponent en interna-sionale goedkeuring moet verkry word. Diestaat het reeds hieraan aandag begin gee.“Die verslag is nog nie uitgereik nie.”Die Thyspunt-alliansie sê hy sal allemoont-

like prosesse gebruik om te verseker dat dieprojek nie net deurgedruk word nie. Daar isfinansiële implikasies vir die land, die uit-werking op die kultuurerfenis en die moont-like verlies aan werksgeleenthede in die vis-en toerismebedrywe.“Dit is moontlik om ’n balans tussen ont-

wikkeling en omgewing te verkry, maar danmoet die regte terrein gekies word. Dit is eenwaar nie net die finansiële koste laer is nie,maar ook die direkte impak op die biofisieseen maatskaplike omgewing heelwat minderis. Thyspunt, as ’n totale nuwe ontwikkelingwaar geen infrastruktuur bestaan nie, is bes-lis nie die regte plek nie,” sê Malan.
