The Red-winged Starling (Onycognathus morio) is a widespread bird occurring from Ethiopia through East Africa and into Southern Africa They are iridescent black birds with redchestnut-coloured wings visible in flight Males have almost bluish-black heads while the females and juveniles are identified by their grey heads They usually occur in rocky and mountainous areas as they nest on cliffs Like many other urban species in Cape Town they have adapted to nesting in buildings A research project is currently underway at UCT to determine how these birds cope with feeding on anthropogenic food in urban areas Please report sightings of colour-ringed birds For more information wwwfacebookcomUCTstarlings

YOU DONrsquoT THINK ABOUT WATER UNTIL YOUR WELL RUNS DRYWeek after week the desperately needed winter rains fail to arrive and we are teased with the odd shower or drizzle I get the feeling that the good citizens of Cape Town are beginning to accept that a very real and serious problem that we hoped would disappear ldquowhen the rains comerdquo has indeed now come home to roost A recent picture of our main Theewaterskloof dam showing it reduced to just a thin stream in places brought home to me the possibility of taps actually running dry
We can live without a lot of things but fresh water isnrsquot one of themAs Capetonians I think that we have an ingrained belief that we live in a wet place and so have come to regard abundant water as a blessing of our province In truth our unique microclimate on the tip of Africa is anything but stable being subject to the whims of South Atlantic weather systems moving just a few hundred kilometers north or south spelling the difference between deluge and drought
If we think this summer has been difficult water is likely to be even scarcer next summer Longer term our current drought is not just a temporary problem With unpredictable rainfall patterns and relentless population growth our city relies on a limited water supply Quite simply that means we will have less and less water available per person We will need to change our water usage behaviour If we donrsquot pay attention to using it sparingly it will continue to run out more frequently Unfortunately there is no substitute for clean fresh water and in the quantity we use it we canrsquot buy or borrow it from somewhere else
Yes there are measures we can take to supplement our supply of the precious commodity like desalinators and tapping of springs and aquifers as is done in other dry parts of the world However these measures can also only deliver a limited life-line supply in drought years and come with their own expense and ecological problems if over-utilised The clear message is that we must start using much less water now and keep on doing so We cannot simply pay more to buy what is no longer there
Enjoy the issue

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
Congratulations to Robyn and Stephanie who in the first 5 months of this year have successfully let 56 apartments and houses in the Pinelands and Thornton area
We are however noticing a drop in the demand for houses above R20 000pm and apartments above R10 000pm On popular websites such as Property24 and Private Property you will note a number of properties that are advertised for rent that have been on the market for some time and that there is a resistance to those advertised at unrealistic rentalsDuring high activity periods we will receive anything from 15 to 30 hits within a matter of hours from the time that a property is listed whereas these numbers have dropped significantly in the past month or two Not only has the number of enquiries dropped but so has the quality of the applicants A recent National Survey by PayProp indicates that most tenant applications have 8 or more active credit accounts and that one in three applicants are more than 3 months in arrears with some of their debtSelection of tenants is therefore crucial Unfortunately a one monthrsquos deposit is no longer enough On average a non performing tenant leaves with R6 781 unpaid rent R2 168 in unpaid utility bills and R3 894 damage to the property This amounts to a total claim of nearly R13 000 which is nearly twice the average monthly national rental of R7 000 It is also important to perform interim inspections midway into the lease which can provide the landlord with early warning signs as to how well a property is being cared for The Rental Housing Act is clear that you cannot charge a tenant for damages if an incoming inspection and outgoing inspection is not performed You need to be very specific and take as many photos as possible so that there can be no dispute later It is also important that both parties are present and sign the inspection reports It is also important that Landlords attend to repairs and maintenance matters timeously to protect their assets and provide tenants with beneficial occupation There is no doubt that well cared for properties attract better tenants and higher rentalsAt Seeff we pride ourselves that in the past 20 years we have never had to evict a tenant and that currently we have only one tenant in arrears with 94 of tenants paying on time
Please contact our rental team of Robyn Meyer and Stephanie West should you need advice about renting your property or any matters pertaining to Leases We are here to assist you

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

PRINCIPALS ARTICLE June 2017 | the muse | 12
When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

The Red-winged Starling (Onycognathus morio) is a widespread bird occurring from Ethiopia through East Africa and into Southern Africa They are iridescent black birds with redchestnut-coloured wings visible in flight Males have almost bluish-black heads while the females and juveniles are identified by their grey heads They usually occur in rocky and mountainous areas as they nest on cliffs Like many other urban species in Cape Town they have adapted to nesting in buildings A research project is currently underway at UCT to determine how these birds cope with feeding on anthropogenic food in urban areas Please report sightings of colour-ringed birds For more information wwwfacebookcomUCTstarlings

YOU DONrsquoT THINK ABOUT WATER UNTIL YOUR WELL RUNS DRYWeek after week the desperately needed winter rains fail to arrive and we are teased with the odd shower or drizzle I get the feeling that the good citizens of Cape Town are beginning to accept that a very real and serious problem that we hoped would disappear ldquowhen the rains comerdquo has indeed now come home to roost A recent picture of our main Theewaterskloof dam showing it reduced to just a thin stream in places brought home to me the possibility of taps actually running dry
We can live without a lot of things but fresh water isnrsquot one of themAs Capetonians I think that we have an ingrained belief that we live in a wet place and so have come to regard abundant water as a blessing of our province In truth our unique microclimate on the tip of Africa is anything but stable being subject to the whims of South Atlantic weather systems moving just a few hundred kilometers north or south spelling the difference between deluge and drought
If we think this summer has been difficult water is likely to be even scarcer next summer Longer term our current drought is not just a temporary problem With unpredictable rainfall patterns and relentless population growth our city relies on a limited water supply Quite simply that means we will have less and less water available per person We will need to change our water usage behaviour If we donrsquot pay attention to using it sparingly it will continue to run out more frequently Unfortunately there is no substitute for clean fresh water and in the quantity we use it we canrsquot buy or borrow it from somewhere else
Yes there are measures we can take to supplement our supply of the precious commodity like desalinators and tapping of springs and aquifers as is done in other dry parts of the world However these measures can also only deliver a limited life-line supply in drought years and come with their own expense and ecological problems if over-utilised The clear message is that we must start using much less water now and keep on doing so We cannot simply pay more to buy what is no longer there
Enjoy the issue

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
Congratulations to Robyn and Stephanie who in the first 5 months of this year have successfully let 56 apartments and houses in the Pinelands and Thornton area
We are however noticing a drop in the demand for houses above R20 000pm and apartments above R10 000pm On popular websites such as Property24 and Private Property you will note a number of properties that are advertised for rent that have been on the market for some time and that there is a resistance to those advertised at unrealistic rentalsDuring high activity periods we will receive anything from 15 to 30 hits within a matter of hours from the time that a property is listed whereas these numbers have dropped significantly in the past month or two Not only has the number of enquiries dropped but so has the quality of the applicants A recent National Survey by PayProp indicates that most tenant applications have 8 or more active credit accounts and that one in three applicants are more than 3 months in arrears with some of their debtSelection of tenants is therefore crucial Unfortunately a one monthrsquos deposit is no longer enough On average a non performing tenant leaves with R6 781 unpaid rent R2 168 in unpaid utility bills and R3 894 damage to the property This amounts to a total claim of nearly R13 000 which is nearly twice the average monthly national rental of R7 000 It is also important to perform interim inspections midway into the lease which can provide the landlord with early warning signs as to how well a property is being cared for The Rental Housing Act is clear that you cannot charge a tenant for damages if an incoming inspection and outgoing inspection is not performed You need to be very specific and take as many photos as possible so that there can be no dispute later It is also important that both parties are present and sign the inspection reports It is also important that Landlords attend to repairs and maintenance matters timeously to protect their assets and provide tenants with beneficial occupation There is no doubt that well cared for properties attract better tenants and higher rentalsAt Seeff we pride ourselves that in the past 20 years we have never had to evict a tenant and that currently we have only one tenant in arrears with 94 of tenants paying on time
Please contact our rental team of Robyn Meyer and Stephanie West should you need advice about renting your property or any matters pertaining to Leases We are here to assist you

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind

work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

The Red-winged Starling (Onycognathus morio) is a widespread bird occurring from Ethiopia through East Africa and into Southern Africa They are iridescent black birds with redchestnut-coloured wings visible in flight Males have almost bluish-black heads while the females and juveniles are identified by their grey heads They usually occur in rocky and mountainous areas as they nest on cliffs Like many other urban species in Cape Town they have adapted to nesting in buildings A research project is currently underway at UCT to determine how these birds cope with feeding on anthropogenic food in urban areas Please report sightings of colour-ringed birds For more information wwwfacebookcomUCTstarlings

YOU DONrsquoT THINK ABOUT WATER UNTIL YOUR WELL RUNS DRYWeek after week the desperately needed winter rains fail to arrive and we are teased with the odd shower or drizzle I get the feeling that the good citizens of Cape Town are beginning to accept that a very real and serious problem that we hoped would disappear ldquowhen the rains comerdquo has indeed now come home to roost A recent picture of our main Theewaterskloof dam showing it reduced to just a thin stream in places brought home to me the possibility of taps actually running dry
We can live without a lot of things but fresh water isnrsquot one of themAs Capetonians I think that we have an ingrained belief that we live in a wet place and so have come to regard abundant water as a blessing of our province In truth our unique microclimate on the tip of Africa is anything but stable being subject to the whims of South Atlantic weather systems moving just a few hundred kilometers north or south spelling the difference between deluge and drought
If we think this summer has been difficult water is likely to be even scarcer next summer Longer term our current drought is not just a temporary problem With unpredictable rainfall patterns and relentless population growth our city relies on a limited water supply Quite simply that means we will have less and less water available per person We will need to change our water usage behaviour If we donrsquot pay attention to using it sparingly it will continue to run out more frequently Unfortunately there is no substitute for clean fresh water and in the quantity we use it we canrsquot buy or borrow it from somewhere else
Yes there are measures we can take to supplement our supply of the precious commodity like desalinators and tapping of springs and aquifers as is done in other dry parts of the world However these measures can also only deliver a limited life-line supply in drought years and come with their own expense and ecological problems if over-utilised The clear message is that we must start using much less water now and keep on doing so We cannot simply pay more to buy what is no longer there
Enjoy the issue

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
Congratulations to Robyn and Stephanie who in the first 5 months of this year have successfully let 56 apartments and houses in the Pinelands and Thornton area
We are however noticing a drop in the demand for houses above R20 000pm and apartments above R10 000pm On popular websites such as Property24 and Private Property you will note a number of properties that are advertised for rent that have been on the market for some time and that there is a resistance to those advertised at unrealistic rentalsDuring high activity periods we will receive anything from 15 to 30 hits within a matter of hours from the time that a property is listed whereas these numbers have dropped significantly in the past month or two Not only has the number of enquiries dropped but so has the quality of the applicants A recent National Survey by PayProp indicates that most tenant applications have 8 or more active credit accounts and that one in three applicants are more than 3 months in arrears with some of their debtSelection of tenants is therefore crucial Unfortunately a one monthrsquos deposit is no longer enough On average a non performing tenant leaves with R6 781 unpaid rent R2 168 in unpaid utility bills and R3 894 damage to the property This amounts to a total claim of nearly R13 000 which is nearly twice the average monthly national rental of R7 000 It is also important to perform interim inspections midway into the lease which can provide the landlord with early warning signs as to how well a property is being cared for The Rental Housing Act is clear that you cannot charge a tenant for damages if an incoming inspection and outgoing inspection is not performed You need to be very specific and take as many photos as possible so that there can be no dispute later It is also important that both parties are present and sign the inspection reports It is also important that Landlords attend to repairs and maintenance matters timeously to protect their assets and provide tenants with beneficial occupation There is no doubt that well cared for properties attract better tenants and higher rentalsAt Seeff we pride ourselves that in the past 20 years we have never had to evict a tenant and that currently we have only one tenant in arrears with 94 of tenants paying on time
Please contact our rental team of Robyn Meyer and Stephanie West should you need advice about renting your property or any matters pertaining to Leases We are here to assist you

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

PRINCIPALS ARTICLE June 2017 | the muse | 12
When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
Congratulations to Robyn and Stephanie who in the first 5 months of this year have successfully let 56 apartments and houses in the Pinelands and Thornton area
We are however noticing a drop in the demand for houses above R20 000pm and apartments above R10 000pm On popular websites such as Property24 and Private Property you will note a number of properties that are advertised for rent that have been on the market for some time and that there is a resistance to those advertised at unrealistic rentalsDuring high activity periods we will receive anything from 15 to 30 hits within a matter of hours from the time that a property is listed whereas these numbers have dropped significantly in the past month or two Not only has the number of enquiries dropped but so has the quality of the applicants A recent National Survey by PayProp indicates that most tenant applications have 8 or more active credit accounts and that one in three applicants are more than 3 months in arrears with some of their debtSelection of tenants is therefore crucial Unfortunately a one monthrsquos deposit is no longer enough On average a non performing tenant leaves with R6 781 unpaid rent R2 168 in unpaid utility bills and R3 894 damage to the property This amounts to a total claim of nearly R13 000 which is nearly twice the average monthly national rental of R7 000 It is also important to perform interim inspections midway into the lease which can provide the landlord with early warning signs as to how well a property is being cared for The Rental Housing Act is clear that you cannot charge a tenant for damages if an incoming inspection and outgoing inspection is not performed You need to be very specific and take as many photos as possible so that there can be no dispute later It is also important that both parties are present and sign the inspection reports It is also important that Landlords attend to repairs and maintenance matters timeously to protect their assets and provide tenants with beneficial occupation There is no doubt that well cared for properties attract better tenants and higher rentalsAt Seeff we pride ourselves that in the past 20 years we have never had to evict a tenant and that currently we have only one tenant in arrears with 94 of tenants paying on time
Please contact our rental team of Robyn Meyer and Stephanie West should you need advice about renting your property or any matters pertaining to Leases We are here to assist you

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
Congratulations to Robyn and Stephanie who in the first 5 months of this year have successfully let 56 apartments and houses in the Pinelands and Thornton area
We are however noticing a drop in the demand for houses above R20 000pm and apartments above R10 000pm On popular websites such as Property24 and Private Property you will note a number of properties that are advertised for rent that have been on the market for some time and that there is a resistance to those advertised at unrealistic rentalsDuring high activity periods we will receive anything from 15 to 30 hits within a matter of hours from the time that a property is listed whereas these numbers have dropped significantly in the past month or two Not only has the number of enquiries dropped but so has the quality of the applicants A recent National Survey by PayProp indicates that most tenant applications have 8 or more active credit accounts and that one in three applicants are more than 3 months in arrears with some of their debtSelection of tenants is therefore crucial Unfortunately a one monthrsquos deposit is no longer enough On average a non performing tenant leaves with R6 781 unpaid rent R2 168 in unpaid utility bills and R3 894 damage to the property This amounts to a total claim of nearly R13 000 which is nearly twice the average monthly national rental of R7 000 It is also important to perform interim inspections midway into the lease which can provide the landlord with early warning signs as to how well a property is being cared for The Rental Housing Act is clear that you cannot charge a tenant for damages if an incoming inspection and outgoing inspection is not performed You need to be very specific and take as many photos as possible so that there can be no dispute later It is also important that both parties are present and sign the inspection reports It is also important that Landlords attend to repairs and maintenance matters timeously to protect their assets and provide tenants with beneficial occupation There is no doubt that well cared for properties attract better tenants and higher rentalsAt Seeff we pride ourselves that in the past 20 years we have never had to evict a tenant and that currently we have only one tenant in arrears with 94 of tenants paying on time
Please contact our rental team of Robyn Meyer and Stephanie West should you need advice about renting your property or any matters pertaining to Leases We are here to assist you

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily
See wwwincredibleillusionscoza and webtickets
After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

INCREDIBLE ILLUSIONSThe 3D World of Kurt WennerWe are hoping fervently that the rains will come and you will be looking for an indoor place of entertainment - something different Take a trip to the Jubilee Hall in the Watershed at the VampA Waterfront for the fascinating interactive 3D art exhibition by Kurt Wenner - open until 23 July 2017
Kurt Wenner is well known for his 3D pavement art also called anamorphic art and now you can experience his work - walk on it touch it and photograph it Each piece has an optimal viewing position to see the best effect of the 3D drawing - but it is equally fascinating to see how the image is distorted when viewed from a different angle Kurt Wenner is an American artist who has lived for many years in Italy To make his drawings appear to come out of the ground or to sink into the ground he invented a new form of geometry called Wenners hyperbolic perspective Every picture presents an illusion which is great fun to play with ndash and sometimes the illusion is even greater on a photograph Prices are now R135 every day with discounts for youth and family groups The ticket price includes artjamming - wear clothes suitable for painting Open 7am to 7pm daily

After our tour through all the exhibits we had a tasty lunch in the Watershed at Cooked - a lovely selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes Order and pay for your meal and it will be served at the table or you can take away We had a delicious smoked beef toastie and a lamb burger on flat bread (Khoubiz) followed by lemon tart and cappuccino

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

PRINCIPALS ARTICLE June 2017 | the muse | 12
When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

and there was a lot of excitement and nerves leading up to the event They have shown extreme dedication towards their training both technical and physical putting in many hours of hard training at home and in the gym Their determination paid off with Ashley winning a gold medal in Durban and becoming the 2017 SA Champion for the Senior U57kg K1 division and Austin winning a silver medal in the finals of the U67kg senior K1 divisionThis is a great achievement and will hopefully inspire other young athletes from Garden Village and surrounding communities to get involved in sport It shows that no matter what your circumstances are with hard work and dedication dreams can come true ldquoA big thank you to all involved in helping us achieve our goals ndash coaches sponsors friends and family ndash it would not have been possible without your helprdquo say Ashley and Austin

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

PRINCIPALS ARTICLE June 2017 | the muse | 12
When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

6 This stew is delicious on sweet potato mash or can be served as it is because of all the veggies

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

MONEY MATTERS
South Africarsquos recent downgrade to junk status means that the SA government will have to pay more to service its debt which it can do by either reducing expenditure or raising taxes This creates an enormous burden on our National Treasury which will be under pressure to collect more taxes having just introduced higher tax brackets for the super wealthy
JUNK STATUS MAY LEAD TO A RECESSIONHistorically countries that are downgraded to junk status fall into a recession This will place pressure on the South African Reserve Bank to review the repo rate upwards which in turn will increase payments on home loans credit cards and other goods and services - affecting all South Africans
THE KNOCK ON EFFECTWith the potential for tax increases interest rates hikes and salary freezes middle class South Africans who are servicing home and vehicle loans will be hit hard Being downgraded to junk status could conceivably mean that South Africans will be paying 2 or 3 more to service their debt which can have a severe impact on the ability to live from month-to-month without incurring more debt Reduced economic growth has a knock-on effect on jobs crime infrastructure and the value of the Rand
PAY OFF YOUR SHORT TERM DEBTSTo protect oneself financially in a junk status economy the reduction and elimination of short-term debt is absolutely essential Because it is likely that lending rates will increase it is advisable to pay-off short-term debt (credit card and retail accounts) as quickly as possible and avoid incurring any new debt Exercise caution before upgrading large cost items such as vehicles as a 1 interest rate hike can dramatically impact on your monthly repayments
By Sue Torr Director Crue Invest
FINANCIAL ADVICE IN A JUNK STATUS ECONOMYYOUR EMERGENCY FUNDOne of the most effective buffers against future interest rates hikes is the creation of an emergency fund Frighteningly recent stats indicate that 69 of South Africans do not have any emergency funding in place - which should be equivalent to between three and six monthrsquos worth of earnings
REVIEW YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOThis is an opportune time to review your investment portfolio with an independent financial planner to ensure that your investments are diversified to protect against risk Investment markets have the ability to return to fundamentals even in the case of political unrest and economic instability so despite recent events in South African politics investors should remain invested at all costs
TRIM YOUR BUDGETAs trite as it may sound review your personal monthly budget with a view to identifying hidden costs such as take-aways cleaning services coffee-on-the-go pre-packed vegetables ready-made meals and long-term subscriptions Request a re-broke on your short term insurance In the case of an older policy it is highly likely that you could be paying for items that you no longer own If you took out life cover some years ago there may be an opportunity to reduce cover in certain areas
YOUR JOB IS PRECIOUSWith reduced economic growth a likely outlook for the next few years our advice is to hold onto onersquos employment With many employers likely to place a moratorium on new positions and either freeze or cap future salary increases we would caution against resigning in the hopes of looking for alternative employment Now more than ever is a time to exercise fiscal caution to help smooth over the inevitable bumps that lie ahead for us South Africans

When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

PRINCIPALS ARTICLE June 2017 | the muse | 12
When I was young and gave my parents a hard time I was given a hiding Most adults my age remember getting hit at school too Disciplining children today is very different and particularly at our school Parents have asked me how best to support a schoolrsquos positive discipline strategies and so here are a few of my thoughts after doing some reading on the matter
VALUESOnly make family rules that are based on the values you want to teach If your child lies to you about not having homework donrsquot focus on the homework that hasnrsquot been done but rather on the value of being honest
LOVE ALWAYSThe better your relationship with your child the easier it will be to discipline When a child does something wrong focus on the behaviour but make sure that they know you will always love them regardless of the behaviour Children who are anxious will immediately think that you will stop loving them and that they arenrsquot good enough
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN MISTAKESAcknowledge when you make mistakes so that children know it is normal to make mistakes Children must see adults getting things wrong so that they donrsquot feel the
need to be perfect
EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOURSeparate a childrsquos emotions from their behaviour Tell them you understand that they might be angry or frustrated but that throwing things at people is not the way to deal with the feeling If they are very overwhelmed acknowledge their feelings at that point and deal with the issue later when they are calmer At times of high emotion no-one can think clearly
NO EMOTIONAL BLACKMAILDonrsquot do emotional blackmail threaten or lecture Make sure that you tell the truth and you are able to carry out the lsquothreatrsquo
BE PREDICTABLE - HAVE A ROUTINERoutines create safety Children love routines as boundaries make them feel safe When things are unpredictable children want home to be as predictable and safe as possible Be predictable yourself too ndash children want the adults in their lives to act predictably Ensure that the adults who live in your home react in the same manner to all lsquorulesrsquo Children are very clever at manipulating situations if they perceive that the adults in the home think differently
GIVE CHOICESGive children choices whenever possible If two things are given as options children
RAISING CHILDREN POSITIVELYstill feel as if they have some lsquopowerrsquo over their responses Giving warnings of time also work like this ndash when you want your children to tidy up warn them 5 minutes before so that they have some measure of accountability over how the action is carried out
DONT OVERREACTReact appropriately and donrsquot over react to small things Save your energy for the important lsquofightsrsquo and let the others go
DONT OVER OR UNDER ESTIMATE Donrsquot over or under estimate your children Over estimating children can make them feel like a failure and add to their stress and underestimating children kills their confidence
BE GENTLE - NO ONE IS PERFECTAnd finally remember that humans arenrsquot perfect Life wouldnrsquot be worth lsquodoingrsquo if we were perfect when we were born Mistakes help us learn and grow and a gentle lsquoleaderrsquo helps us still believe in ourselves when we make mistakes Be gentle on your children and on yourself and if you are overwhelmed by the lsquodiscipliningrsquo job ask for help ndash there is plenty around Karen Quail a parent and teacher herself runs lsquoDiscipline for Peacersquo workshops in Pinelands every year and this course will help you immensely

HOME IS OUR STORY
LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

LET US HELP YOU WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR HOME STORY
It is important for Sellers to note that even though a sale agreement may have been signed by both parties this does not always mean that the property has been soldIt is common practice in residential property sale agreements to include suspensive conditions A suspensive condition ldquosuspendsrdquo the operation of the contract for a period of time subject to the occurrence of a future event If the Seller accepts an offer which is subject to a suspensive condition there is no binding contract until the suspensive conditions has been metThe most common example of a suspensive condition in residential sale agreements is when the sale is subject to the Purchaser obtaining a loan from a bank for a specific amount If the bond is approved timeously then the suspensive condition is fulfilled and the contract is binding Another example is when the purchase is made subject to the sale of the Purchaserrsquos property Once the Purchaserrsquos property has been sold there may be further conditions to which that latter sale is subject which have to be fulfilled before the contract is binding which may further delay the purchase of the property

If the suspensive condition is not fulfilled timeously then the agreement becomes null and void and there is no binding contract Only once all suspensive conditions of the sale agreement have been fulfilled can the conveyancing attorney proceed with transferOften your agent will present you with a cash offer where the purchaser does not have to sell or finance the sale through a loan from the bank It is imperative that when a cash offer is made that you establish exactly where the cash is coming from that it is immediately available and that guarantees can be issued when called for by the conveyancing attorney If it is coming from the proceeds of the sale of another property and is not immediately available then it is not a cash offer It is important for a Seller to consider the possible consequences of suspensive conditions or cash offers when sellingWe would advise Sellers to consult with a conveyancing attorney who can advise them on the possible implications of the terms and conditions in a sale agreement before accepting any offer In this way the Sellerrsquos interests can be properly safeguarded

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

CHRIS BRINKWORTHBorn and bred Pinelander Chris Brinkworth has spent the last twelve years building on his dream of becoming independent from local municipal supplies - especially with respect to water our most precious commodity Currently Chris is able to store approximately 50 000 litres of harvested rainwater Lets have a look at how he is buying into a sustainable recycling economy
ACCOUNTANCY GARDENING AND DIYChris was born in Pinelands to parents who had a passion for gardening and DIY From the age of five he recognised his love for numbers and knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps and become an accountant His father however discouraged Chris and pushed him towards law but Chris remained faithful to his natural talent and today runs a successful chartered accountancy business It is his fascination with creating and building ones own design that led to the construction of Chriss large water harvesting project
KILOLITRES OF WATER STORAGEWalking around his Pinelands property reveals 10 JoJo tanks in sizes varying from 2 500 to 10 000 litres All the tanks are interconnected and water is recycled with a pump and taps powered by a solar panel Most of these tanks are for collecting rain water from the roof and all the gutters have been altered to direct the water flow appropriately to the tanks To this end Chris is increasing the area of roof space to enable him to collect more rain water by extending the verandah roofing all around the house
THE USE OF ALUM TO TREAT WATERChris has discovered that he can precipitate particulate matter out of his wellpoint
water by adding alum - available from a hardware store Please note that wellpoint or borehole water treated with Alum may appear crystal clear but is not necessarily fit for human consumption Grey water should never be stored for more than 24 hours as it has many micro-organisms that can cause health problems and become malodorous Use grey water immediately for garden irrigation See a good pamphlet on the use of grey water by Rand Water on our website at wwwpinelandsdirectorycoza
PASSIONATE RECYCLERAlongside one of the rainwater harvesting tank series is a large wood pile which Chris uses for the wood burning stove inside It keeps the house warm in winter and can also be used to cook on One bathroom in the house is independently powered by the roof top solar system and storage batteries The municipal supply only kicks in when needed Another self sufficiency project involves the twelve healthy chickens eagerly awaiting their evening walk in the garden and feeding - for which they supply Chris with 12 eggs every day
WHY SO MANY TANKSChris has found that it is worth harvesting a large volume of rain in the winter season to cover the consumption needs through the summer until the next rains - reducing the water bill and helping the water crisis situation Cape Town faces with the drought and the increasing population pouring into the city
RECOMMENDATIONSbull Aim to harvest and store a large volume
of water to last for an extended periodbull Insert leaf catchers to prevent tanks
being clogged with large amounts of vegetation washed off the roof
bull Make sure containers are sealed and not open to breeding mosquitoes
bull Use good quality connectors for the tanks
bull Moderate usage of water with shorter showers and use recycled or harvested water to flush toilets
GOOD LUCKAs we anxiously await the winter rains we wish Chris well in his water harvesting endeavours

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

MICHAELWATERMEYER
WORKING AT UCTMichael holds a position as the UCT Admissions Liaison Officer and interacts with staff students and students parents He enjoys the academic environment and is watching the education revolution with interest feeling that South Africa has a remarkable source of intellectual talent at the universities Although vulnerable as a country - Michael says that there is hope for a bright future if we can weather the storm
INHERITED FORM OF BLINDNESSMichaels family moved to South Africa from Zimbabwe when he was 7 years old He is one of 6 brothers - two of whom inherited Retinitis Pigmentosa and are blind Michaels teenage children Emma and Luke are not affected When they visit Michael enjoys cooking meals for them and playing chess with his son - memorising the board using a mind image technique which he uses for document recall as well The large TV in Michaels lounge seems a bit out of place but he says it is for the children as well as for following his favourite BBC quiz program The Chase
SYSTEMS ANALYST AT OLD MUTUALMichael went to high school in Thornton and left in standard 8 for Prinshof a school for the blind in Pretoria He realised at an early age that computers and audio reading and writing software are an essential part of a blind persons life Taking this a step further he studied COBOL programming which he used while employed as a systems analyst at Old Mutual in Pinelands
GRADUATING WITH A LAW DEGREEEarlier in his career while working in an administrative post with the police rubbing shoulders with lawyers advocates and
officers of the court Michael developed an interest in the workings of the law system He decided to sell his Thornton house to raise funds to study law at UCT and to purchase computer software with voice technology that was useful in his studies He graduated with his BA LLB in 1995
THE VALUE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGYComputer voice technology is a fantastic tool for the blind and Michael has learnt to listen and understand the text being read at a cracking pace He is able to navigate the internet using this technology and his touch typing skills Apart from work and every day communication the software is used for entertainment Regular movies seen by sighted people are converted into audio described versions where the action is narrated for the blind person to imagine the scene In fact reading matter for the blind is scarce on the whole especially Braille books which are expensive to produce Michael is on the Board of Directors of the Grahamstown National Library which caters for the educational and recreational needs of the blind
WATCHING LEO THE GUIDE DOG AT WORKChatting in Michaels kitchen as he prepares a cup of filter coffee for us we are accompanied by two beautiful black labradors - one is Michaels retired guide dog Coco Chanel The other is two year old guide dog Leo who is still learning Michaels walking routes at home and at
work Michael leads the way as we leave the house with Leo in harness heading towards the shops It is obvious that Leo is happy to be in working mode and as Michael points out Leo is a dog not a machine - he has much to learn and can still be distracted For Michael to get to the station he must cross the road Leo recognises the left command finds the zebra pedestrian crossing and stops to check for traffic I wait next to Michael and am disappointed at the number of cars that do not stop at the crossing especially as it is clear that Michael is accompanied by a guide dog and is therefore blind At last a car stops and Leo leads Michael safely across the road
GETTING AROUNDUber is a great asset for getting places and Michael finds that the drivers have no problem allowing a guide dog into the car On a local plane flight Leo manages to curl up at Michaels feet for the duration of the flight An international flight would be too long though with the added complications of unfamiliar territory And this is a dream for Michael - to explore Europe
CONQUERING CHALLENGESMichael has successfully implemented his coping strategies so that he can lead a normal life as a blind person If you see Michael and Leo briskly walking by - dont distract the dog by talking to or patting it - but feel free to say hello to Michael
Life is about strategy says Michael Watermeyer who went blind in his teens due to an inherited condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa He describes how he copes with everyday life using modern technology and emphasises the essential role that his guide dog plays in navigating his environment

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

TRAVELLERS
Western CapeFIRST STOP BEAUFORT WEST Traveling by bus the first stop was at Beaufort West the birthplace of Chris Barnard The Chris Barnard Exhibition had plenty of information but it is not as elaborate as the Heart of Cape Town museum at Groote Schuur Hospital
Northern CapeKIMBERLEY AND THE BIG HOLE Kimberley saw us heading for the Big Hole and the Kimberley Mine Museum An old tram dating back to the days of the diamond rush conveys folk around the perimeter of the mine area It reminded us of the trams in Adderley Street where the rows of seats were reversed Kimberleys oldest house was prefabricated in England in 1877 and was situated next to the church Many of the original houses have been preserved and we felt as if we were in a bygone era During the tour we saw an auction mart The Australian Arms Guest Lodge a spectacle store a watchmakers shop and a draper that sold frilly ldquodrawersrdquo amusingly advertised as ldquoany size offeredrdquo
The cigarette makers rolls were neatly laid out and then to be sure was THE PUB Then we came to the high rise staircase o v e r l o o k i n g the BIG HOLE with its brilliant aquamarine blue
Pinelands Pensioners Evelyn Hocknell Anne Hattingh Rose Cradduck Fay Woodhead Audrey Carter and Helene Ockleford hit the road on a journey from the Western Cape through the Northern Cape Freestate and the Eastern Cape Here are the highlights of their tour
Four Provinces Road Trip
FreestateBLOEMFONTEIN AND 4 PAWS Near Bloemfontein we saw the Cheetah Experience but the highlight for everyone was the ldquo4 Paws Reserverdquo - a Big Cat sanctuary called Lionsrock near Bethlehem All the animals have been rescued from abused backgrounds Some had been chained or locked in small cells with a cement floor It sometimes happens that lions will not leave the transport cage because they are afraid to walk on grassThe big cats are kept in large grassy paddocks as they would not be able to defend for themselves in the wild Here they are attended to by vets and fed regularly A strong walkway extends over the paddocks so that we were able to see them feeding below The lions are ready and agitated long before the meat van arrives Large chunks of meat are placed in the feeding area and when the gate opens the crunching begins They did not worry about the visitors above but the tiger in another area picked up his meat and went off into the bush It was worth the long journey just to be at 4 Paws where you donrsquot wipe your feet on the doormat but you wipe ldquoyour pawsrdquo
FreestateASH RIVER OUTFALL The Caledon Tunnel Ash River Outfall near Clarens is part of the Lesotho Highlands
Water Project which was established to generate electricity for Lesotho and to facilitate the diversion of water to the drier regions of Gauteng The large water- carrying tunnel known as the Trans Caledon Tunnel was brought under the Maluti Mountains from Lesothos high altitude dams to the Ash River Outfall We sat in a ldquocut out piece of the actual pipeline to demonstrate how large the pipe is
Eastern CapeADDO AND KRAGGA KAMMAWe visited a cherry farm and we saw a highly coloured London Bus used as an antique shop and had a great elephant sighting at Addo Elephant Park A stop over at Kragga Kamma Game Park near Port Elizabeth was necessary so that Rose could pet her favourite cheetah called Monty Evelyn also went into the enclosure
Western CapeHEADING HOME OVER THE BREEDE RIVERCrossing the Breede River on the last hand-drawn pont of its kind in South Africa at Malgas was our last adventure before heading home as Happy Travellers
water This hand dug hole is a result of the diamond rush of the 1870s - the mine was closed down in 1914 and the excavated hole is now filled with water

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store

Carrot stew with star anise
Hearty stew for winterRecipe from Make five Maak vyf
Just the word lsquoheartyrsquo is enough to get me excited If it refers to a warm and comforting stew even better While writing this we havenrsquot had much winter rain yet but therersquos definitely a chill in the early morning and evening air Colder weather makes us all feel like a warming hearty meal and itrsquos no surprise then that stews are synonymous with winter There are endless combinations of ingredients and flavours to prepare a delicious stew with In most recipes cuts of meat like neck shin thick rib and shoulder are used These require long slow cooking methods in some or other liquid ranging from water to wine Rooibos or beer to result in tender delicious meat A variety of veggies and seasoning can be used and sometimes itrsquos the most basic of combinations which renders the best results Firmer longer cooking vegetables are perfect for a stew and I love adding some tender veggies towards the end to add extra crunch and colour
A few things are sure to add that authentic flavour to a stew Start with fresh and natural ingredients and make sure to brown the meat properly before simmering it Sauteacuteing onions garlic carrots and celery make an aromatic base for almost any stew
Yes a stew is not a quick supper and needs some planning and patience Itrsquos essential for stewing meat not to boil rapidly but rather to simmer gently for at least 2 or more hours The beauty is however that once everything is in the pot little attention is needed before you can tuck in
This recipe uses basic ingredients with the addition of whole star anise to give it an aromatic flair Star anise is perfect with carrots cabbage beef or pork One could easily play with different spices to ring the changes Cumin seeds or even whole cloves and all spice berries are good options or use a Chinese five spice mixture instead All of these are available from most supermarkets or a spice store
