ALTHOUGH blazing flames stoodmeters high and residents hardlymanaged to stop them in their de-structive tracks only a few steps
away from their back doors, the Kouga Mu-nicipality is adamant that there was no realdanger to nearby houses.
And even though not a single fireman wasin sight near the houses that suffered dama-ges to their boundary walls, gardens, roofs,Wendy house and other outside furniture, themunicipality is confident that their firemenwere completely in charge of the situation.Residents, however, believe that if it was
not for the swift reaction and hard work ofpolice members, the situation would withoutdoubt have turned into a disaster.At approximately 15:15 on Friday a huge
fire broke out on the empty area next to theJeffreys Bay Golf Course threatening housesin Dogwood, Myrtle and Broom streets. Theflames were fuelled by gale force winds gust-ing up to 68km an hour.According to municipal spokesperson,
Mfundo Sobele, the Kouga Fire Departmentwas despatched to the area as soon as theywere informed about the fire by the JeffreysBay Police. “There was no real danger to thehouses and our firemen were in charge of thesituation,” he said. “They managed to bringthe fire under control at about 16:15. It is sus-pec-ted that the firewas caused by a road userwho dumped a cigarette butt along the way.The dry vegetation caught a sparkwhich thenled to the runaway fire.”Broom Street residents say that firemen
might have been controlling the fire from themiddle, but therewas not one fireman or even
a red light in sight on the edges of the firewhich came up to their house.Susan Fourie said residents stood united in
the fight against the fire. “Residents usedwhatever they could to extinguish the fire;
blankets, towels, hose pipes etc.“Three police men jumped over my back
wall and started diverting the fire from near-by houses. If it was not for them, I would havesuffered much more damage than a black
back wall, soot and a terrible smell clingingto everything.“I do not even want to think what could
have happened if thesemen did not showup.”Continued on page 2

AFTER yet another accident in just overa week, residents are now demanding thatspeed humps be erected in NoorsekloofRoad.
This road is fast gaining a reputationfor being a dangerous road, despite thefact that there are no major bends or ob-stacles that could increase the risk of acci-dents.
Eight days after Jan-Willem van Heer-den, former manager at Potter’s Place,rolled his Audi A3 in Noorsekloof Road,the driver of a black VW Golf lost controlof his vehicle and ploughed through a walland gate.
According to police spokesperson PetraEls, the accident occurred at approxi-mately 02:50 on Sunday. The driver sus-tained minor injuries.
“This is the third accident this year onthat specific road.”
Earlier this year a taxi driver lost con-trol over his fully loaded vehicle, drove
through a boundary wall and hit the build-ing of Leanné Cilliers Optometrists withsuch an impact that a part of the buildinghad to be rebuild. Several taxi occupantssustained minor to serious injuries.
According to municipal spokespersonMfuno Sobele, Noorsekloof Road is not ahigh accident zone. “It is unfortunate thatwe have had accidents, as we are con-vinced that we have enough measures inplace to curb speeding - there are four stopsigns in the street.
“We have received requests for speedhumps by residents in the area and theseare still part of our considerations, butthere are technical and traffic mattersthat we need to take into consideration.This include heavy duty vehicles whichbattle to drive over speed humps uphill.
“We will however increase our visibili-ty, including imposing speed fines forroad rules transgressors and doing spe-cial operations in the area. We need towork on human behaviour in as far asspeeding and reckless driving on thatroad is concerned.”
Noorsekloof rakes in accidents
Continued from page 1
ACCORDING to resident Denise May, this isthe third fire she had experienced since 2004.“Building and garden rubble are piled up tosuch an extent on the open erf bordering myhouse, as well as several other houses, thatit was impossible for the fire department tocome even close. If the erf was not so over-grown and full of rubbish, the fire would nothave been this bad.
“The previous two times I helped fight thefire, but this time I decided that I’ve hadenough. I picked up my dog, took my laptop, gotinto my car and drove off. On my return laterthat afternoon, I could see just how close the firecame to my house. Several of the trees in myback garden were scorched by the flames.
“I was not the only one who evacuated myhouse.” She continued that everything in herhouse was full of soot. “The bath, curtains,bedding and even the clothes in the cupboardswere covered in soot. Since Saturday morn-ing, I have been washing non-stop, and still
everything smells like something that hasburned. Some things are beyond salvaging,”she said on Monday.
Another resident said this is not an isolatedincident. “In the 22 years that I have been liv-ing in Broom Street, this is the sixth fire Ihave experienced,” said the resident.
According to DA Ward 8 councillor, DavidAldendorff, he requested as far back as August2012 that the municipality provide an adequatefirebreak. “This was however without any suc-cess. Over the years I have written several let-ters to the municipality informing them aboutthe fire hazards the vast overgrown erven inWavecrest pose, but just like my request in2012, this has fallen on deaf ears.”
Sobele said: We are looking into the matterand are in consultations to come up with thebest solution. We further would like to urgecommunity members, including some resi-dents in the affected area, to desist fromdumping their garden waste onto open spacesnext to their properties as this contributes tofire hazards.”
At approximately 15:15 on Friday a huge runaway fire broke out on the empty area next to theJeffreys Bay Golf Course threatening houses in Dogwood, Myrtle and Broom streets. The flameswere fuelled by gale force winds gusting up to 68km per hour. ) PHOTO:SUPPLIED

ANNA PAUW EN ANTHONY AUGUSTUS
’n Polisiebeampte van Kareedouw wat onbevoeg was om’n vuurwapen te hanteer, het na bewering ’n dienspistoolgebruik om sy eksvrou en homself om die lewe te bring.
Vrae is legio oor dié Humansdorpse bloedbad watMaandagnag, toe die polisiebeampte aan diens was,plaasgevind het.Die man van iets in die veertig en die vrou (38) is Dins-
dagoggend omstreeks 07:50 by die vrou se huis in Booy-sestraat in Arcadia, Humansdorp, gevind.Die vrou is op die toneel dood verklaar, terwyl dieman,
wat ’n skietwond aan sy kop gehad het, nog gelewe het.Hy is na die hospitaal op die dorp geneem, maar is met
sy aankoms dood verklaar.Die egpaar se drie tieners was ten tyde van die voorval
blykbaar by die man se huis in Patensie.
Die egpaar is glo ongeveer twee jaar gelede geskei. Indie tyd ná die egskeiding het die vrou glo drie keerklagtes van aanranding teen haar eksman ingedien.Dit is vermoedelik weens dié klagtes dat die oorledene
onbevoeg verklaar is om ’n vuurwapen te hanteer.Geskokte vriende en kollegas het Dinsdag gesê daar is
soveel meer vrae as antwoorde. “Hoe het hy toegang totdie kluis gekry om ’n vuurwapen enmagasyn te bekom?”wou een weet. Volgens iemand wat hom goed geken het,was die man se gemoedstoestand baie wisselvallig.“Hy sou die een dag grappies maak en saammet almal
lag, en sou dan die volgende dag net doodstil wees.”Die polisie het Dinsdag ’n baie kort verklaring oor die
voorval uitgereik en wou by navraag, hangende dieondersoek, geen bykomende inligting verskaf nie.’n Saak van moord word ondersoek en ’n dossier vir
’n geregtelike doodsondersoek is geopen. Die name vandie oorledenes is nog nie bekendgemaak nie.

KOUGA residents are encouraged to usewater sparingly.
Kouga Executive Mayor Booi Koeratsaid that while the dams were still rela-tively full, the levels were declining. Sav-ing water now would help to prolong theavailability of the current water supplyuntil the next rainfall season.
“This is in essence a precautionary callon residents,” he said. “Our request isthat residents aim to reduce their waterconsumption by at least 10%. This willhelp to delay the introduction of water re-strictions.”
He said that no punitive measureswould be taken against consumers whouse water excessively at this time.
“Should the dam levels continue drop-ping, however, there is a good chance thatthe Nelson Mandela Metro will introducewater restrictions again. Since we draw wa-ter from the same storage dams, Kougawould then have to follow suit,” he ex-
plained. The dams levels, as measuredmidSeptember, areKouga 93,2%,Church-ill 73,2%, Impofu 84,6% and Loerie 33%.
Five easy ways to save water1. To check for possible leaks, close alltaps on your property and check your wa-ter meter to see if it shows that water isbeing used.2. Never pour water down the drain whenthere may be another use for it such aswatering the garden or for cleaning.3. Do not use running water to thaw meator other frozen foods. Defrost food over-night in the refrigerator or use the defrostsetting on your microwave.4. Don’t let water run while shaving orwashing your face. Brush your teeth firstwhilewaiting for thewater to gethot, thenwash or shave after filling the basin.5. Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily.Dispose of tissues, insects and other simi-larwaste in the trash rather than the toilet.
Savewater to prolong supply

THE R42.6 million upgrade of the JeffreysBay Waste Water Treatment Works is setto be completed within the next fewweeks.
Upgrading of the old plant to increaseits capacity from 3Ml/day to 8Ml/daystarted in May 2011. “The works are al-ready in operation, but construction isnot yet completed. The contractor is stillon site attending to the last few details.These should be finalised within the nextfew weeks,” said portfolio councillor forInfrastructure, Planning and Develop-ment Patrick Kota.
According to Kota the upgrade was nec-essary to increase the capacity of theworks so that new housing developments- both government and private - could beaccommodated.
“The original plant was developed dur-ing the 1980s. Since then, Jeffreys Bay hasgrown significantly and basic serviceshave been rolled out to previously disad-vantaged areas,” said Kota.
“The sewerage flow increased as thetown grew. Eventually the plant was oper-ating beyond its design capacity, at whichstage the upgrade became a critical neces-sity.”
Apart from residents benefiting fromthe upgrade since all sewage is eitherdumped or pumped to the works, therewere also positive economic spin-offs.
“At least 30 locals were employed by thecontractor for the entire construction pe-riod. Local businesses also benefited assome of the materials; for example sand,aggregate and other building supplies;were produced locally,” said Kota. “Threepermanent positions had also been creat-ed for the operation of the plant.”

ARE you making arrangements for your year-end holiday? Did you recently buy a house orflat? Did you get married this year or movein with your companion? Then you should en-sure that your affairs are in order by havinga will drafted by an attorney – for free.
From October 7 - 11 attorneys participatingin the National Wills Week initiative willdraft basic wills for members of the publicfree of charge. More than a 1 000 attorneys’firms throughout South Africa are partici-pating in the National Wills Week project.
The aim of National Wills Week is to high-light the importance of having a valid will in
place to ensure that the wishes of testatorsare taken into account when they die, andthat their assets are disposed of according totheir wishes.
Also, this initiative is to encourage mem-bers of the public who would not normallymake use of the services of an attorney, orwho may hesitate to approach an attorney forvarious reasons, to consult an attorney.
Why approach an attorney to draft yourwill? An attorney has the necessary know-ledge and expertise to ensure that your willis legally valid and complies with your wish-es. An attorney can also advise you on anyproblem which may arise with regard to yourwill. Often a will is not valid because the per-son who drafts it does not have the necessarylegal knowledge to ensure that the require-ments of the law are met.
What could happen to your estate if you diewithout a valid will?
If you die without leaving a valid will, yourassets will be distributed according to theprovisions of the Intestate Succession Act.The provisions of this Act are generally fair
and ensure that your possessions are trans-ferred to your spouse and children.
But, the following problems may arise ifyou die without leaving a will:.Your assets may not be left to the personof your choice..It can take a long time to have an executorappointed. The executor who is appointedmay be somebody you may not have chosenyourself..There could be extra and unnecessarycosts..There could be unhappiness and conflictamong members of your family becausethere are no clear instructions on how to dis-tribute your assets.
During Wills Week attorneys participatingin the National Wills Week project will drafta new, basic will for members of the publicfor free. Attorneys will not amend or redraftexisting wills.
The contact details of attorneys participat-ing in the National Wills Week project canbe accessed on the LSSA website at www.LS-SA.org.za.

MET R15 in die sak kom ’n mens deesdae nie baie ver in die winkelsnie. ’n Brood alleen jaag jou amper soveel uit die sak.
En tog, het ek net verlede maand R15 vir een van die nuttigstevoorwerpe in en om die huis betaal: ’n stewige grasbesem.
Mooi netjies met draad en spyker aanmekaargesit, die stok reguiten spierwit sonder sy bas. Die besem gaan my ’n hele paar maandedien - dit weet ek uit ervaring. Dit is uit dié einste ervaring dat ekweet dat geen ander besem, nie eens ’n stofsuier, kan kers vashouby ’n grasbesem wanneer dit by honde- en kathare op matte kom nie.Met ’n tjoef hier en ’n tjaf daar, word baie take behendig met só ’nbesem afgehandel.
Dié grasbesems word al vir meer as twee eeue deur die inwonersvan Die Berg in Kruisfontein net buite Humansdorp gemaak.
Booi Yake (70), beter bekend as Bambi, maak die grasbesems alsolank hy kan onthou. “Ons familie maak die besems al van die 1800saf. Die kuns word van die een geslag na die ander oorgedra, en ditsal nog seker vir honderde jare so wees.
“Ons staan vroegoggend op om die gras hoopop in die berg te gaanpluk. Dit is nog groenerig, maar na twee dae in die son - of tweeweke as dit winter is en die sonnetjie skugter is om gesig te wys- dan is dit kurkdroog en gehard.”
Hy werk vinnig en behendig terwyl hy stap vir stap verduidelikhoe die besem aanmekaar geslaan word.
Hy vat net die regte hoeveelheid gras raak, bondel dit saam, sit’n ysterring om en bind dit baie stewig met tou vas. Die tou wordflink met ’n staalnaald deur die gras gewerk en stewig vasgemaak.Dan vir die tweede tou.
“Ons besems is twee- of driedraad om seker te maak dit val niegou uitmekaar nie,” sê hy. Die oortollige riet aan die bo- en onder-kant van die tou word daarna in ’n reguit lyn afgesaag.
Hy vat ’n lang gladgeskuurde stuk stok, kerf die een punt spitsen stamp dit dan in die riet in; net daar waar die tweede tou gespanis, om te verseker dat die stok daar bly sit totdat die besem uitge-dien is. “Dan moet ’n mens ook ’n spyker deurkap,” sê Bambi terwylhy die daad by die woord voeg. “Nou sal gras-se-kind in der ewigheidnie losval nie.”
Netjies afgerond, staan hy trots na sy handewerk en kyk.Ek toets die besem net daar; dit is asof ’n mens sommer jou sorge
voor jou wegvee, ’n skoon pad oopmaak.Dié besems word in Humansdorp en Jeffreysbaai verkoop.

AANHOUER wen.
Dit is die lewensuitkyk waarvolgens Oliver Kritzinger(60), bestuurshoof van Huis Formosa in Joubertina,daagliks leef.Nou, nameer as ’ndekade, het die positieweingesteldheid hom ’n gesogte titel in die sak besorg.
Kritzinger, wat sy staan agter ’n braai ken en weet hoeom ’n boereworsresep te vervolmaak, neem al vir 12 jaarlank aan Checkers se gewilde Boerewors-kampioenskapdeel. En vanjaar het sy smaaklike boerewors-resep virhom ’n plek in die finaal by Sun City besorg.
Vir die eerste keer vertel Kritzinger dat dié wenworseintlik uit nood gebore is. “Toe ek in 1998 by Huis Formo-sa aangesluit het, het die ouetehuis ’n finansiële krisisin die gesig gestaar. Ek het daaroor gebid en het een aanddie visie gekry om die ouetehuis se eie slaghuis op diebeen te bring. So gesê, so gedaan. Die maak van my eieboerewors het deel geword van die slaghuis se geboortein Januarie 2000.
“Ek het verskeie wenke oor worsmaak by kenners indie ou en bekendeKook enGeniet-resepteboek gekry. Oordie jare het ek aan my resep geskaaf tot ek die perfektebalans tussen bestanddele gevind het.”
Kritzinger sê: “Enigeen kan ’n klomp speserye saam-gooi en boerewors maak. Maar ek ken presies die regtesamestelling, sodat een bestanddeel nie ‘n ander oor-heers nie.’’
Hy beklemtoon dat sy wors van gehalte uitgesoektestukke vleis gemaak word. “Ek het nog altyd geglo datworsmaak ’n delikate proses is. Ek sal nooit die gehaltevan my vleis verlaag nie en my vetinhoud is nooit meeras 20% nie. Dis nou maar wors.
“Die voorbereiding, tegniek, prosedure, gebruik vankwaliteitvleis en die regte speserye is van kardinale be-lang wanneer dit kom by die perfekte boerewors. Dietempo van die stopproses moet ook net reg wees. As jydie derm te vinnig of te stadig stop, kan dit ongewenstelugblasies veroorsaak. Verder moet die vleis die regtegrote gemaalword - ekgebruikgewoonlik ’nmediumsif.”

Hoewel Kritzinger daarna uitsien om die bekendebeoordelaars soos Charleen Surtie Richards en Nataniëlte ontmoet, het hy ’n appeltjie met hulle te skil. “Ek wilgraag weet hoekom het hulle so lank gevat om die Lang-kloof te ontdek,” sê hy laggend.
Kritzinger maak nou gereed vir die finale rondte watop 5 Oktober in Sun City by die Valley of Waves plaas-vind.
Hier sal beslis word wie in ’n splinternuwe ToyotaHilux 2.7 Dubbelkajuit Raised Body Raider en die ge-sogte 2013 Boereworskroon wegry.
Top koskenners van die Suid-Afrikaanse Sjefsverenig-ing (SACA) sal as die amptelike beoordelaars optree.
Dié wat nie die kans sal hê om die nuweChampionshipBoerewors by Sun City te proe nie, hoef gelukkig nie telank te wag om dit in die hande te kry nie. Die produksal vanaf 11 Oktober as die 2013 Championship Boere-wors in vleismarkte van alle Checkers, Checkers Hyperen Shoprite-winkels landwyd beskikbaar wees.

R152 miljoen! Ja, R152 miljoen, dis die be-raamde koste van die beoogde Sarah Bart-mann Sentrum wat vir Hankey beplan word.
Mooi foto’s en ’n uiteensetting van al diewonderlike goed wat daar gaan gebeur enopgerig gaan word. Is dit regtig nodig? Wiegaan hierdie sentrum besoek en vir hoe lank?Met die opening en gepaardgaande partytjieswat altyd deel is van so ’n projek, ja miskien,aan die begin en dan, maar net weer n wit olif-ant wat ’n klomp geld gekos het, en vir nie-mand iets sinvols beteken nie.
Daar word genoem van werksgeleenthedewat geskep gaan word en toeriste wat gelokgaan word. Regtig mense, word wakker! Hoe-veel Remembrance Sites is nie al oral in onsland opgerig nie en word dit gebruik? Nee
wat, niemand gaan my oortuig dat so ’n projekdie moeite en finansiële uitleg regverdig nie.
Goed, aanvanklik gaan daar werksgeleent-hede geskep word en dan, as alles klaar is, watdan?
Dan verval die geboue en projek maar weersoos oor en oor bewys is. Kan al daardie gelden moeite nie maar liewer aangewend wordvir die duisende mense in ons distrik watdaagliks leef sonder behoorlike huise, sanita-sie en water nie?
Ek sou graag wou weet of enige van hierdieprojekbeplanners in bogenoemde om-standighede leef? Beslis nie die twee damesop die voorblad van die koerant nie. En ashulle het, sou hulle ingestem het tot sulke ver-morsing van geld as dit aangewend kon wordom hul daaglikse bestaan te verbeter?
Die behoeftes van ons mense is so groot,waarom is ons prioriteite dan so verkeerd?Ode Swanepoel

YET another accident in Noorsekloof Road,only days after and a few metres away fromlast Friday’s fatal accident!
Noorsekloof, in the past two years, has be-come a main vein to the Mall, and the trafficflow has increased considerably. How manymore accidents need to take place before LawEnforcement will take action in order to slowdown the traffic?
In 9 years of residing here, I have not been
aware of any speed traps, and yet most folktravel at high speed and do not stop at the Dog-wood intersection..
A second danger zone is at the Pinnaquincurve in the road.
This road has become a danger for pedestri-ans and it is time the residents put their footdown in unity – something needs to be doneabout it.Cheryl Lyon

THE large number of overgrown plots in Jef-freys Bay are a major cause of concern, yetthere has still been no serious response fromthe municipality to complaints from the resi-dents in Jeffreys Bay.
In May 2012, the municipal Communica-tions Officer, Mfundo Sobele, reported in thelocal media that due to financial constraintsthe municipality would make use of their ownstaff rather than private contractors to clearthese overgrown erven. This was followed bypictures in the local press of Kouga’s SeniorEnvironmental Health Practitioner RoderickMintoor and his colleagues receiving safetyand bush clearing equipment to the value ofR70 000, while the Executive Mayor Booi Ko-
erat confirmed a task force of 20 memberswould be employed to assist in sorting thismatter out.
Since then nothing has materialised. TheStanding Committee report dated 30 July 2013by the Director of Social Services JapieJansen is a sad litany of lame excuses as towhy the operation failed and is another exam-ple of poor management and wasteful expend-iture.
In the meantime, there are more than 110vacant overgrown plots that urgently requireattention and the ratepayers are waiting foran answer from the municipality.DE AldendorffWard 8 councillor
Overgrownplots a huge concern
AFTER placing an advert for assistance in theKouga Express, Thys and Sean at HollandMetals offered their kind help in sorting outa few things on my bicycle.

BICYCLE PATROL GUARDS ARE EQUIPPED WITH:
Baton (truncheon) Pepper Spray HandcuffsTwo-way Radio Torch Operating Procedures/
Observation Books
Bicycle patrollers become the eyes and ears of the community looking for suspicious persons,vehicles, or any activity that may appear suspicious.
Having identified a suspicious person entering the area, they will monitor them and call forback-up from ADT Armed Response, should it be required.
They are in contact with the 24-hour ADT Control Centre.
While the patrol guards do not respond to alarms and are not permitted to enter your premises(they are not armed), they will notify the Control Centre of any alarm activations.
They may act as witnesses or scouts for the Armed Response Officers or SAPS.
Regular patrols mean quicker reaction times. This increases the risk of being caught andmakes it more difficult to commit the crime in the first place.
Being on a bicycle means that they can patrol places inaccessible by car. They are also able tospot people hiding behind bushes and trees at street level.
They will also discover oversights on the part of the homeowners e.g. open gates and doors,vehicles left open and dogs running in the street. The owners will be informed.
Car patrols will increase in the area as the guards need to be visited by the Armed Responsecars and the area supervisor.
All clients are entitled to make use of ADT’s meet-and-greet service whereby you contact theMonitoring Centre and request that the guard (if available) escorts you into your home late atnight or when all does not seem right.
Visible signage highlighting the presence of a bicycle patrol, helps deter opportunistic andorganised crime.

For true adventurers at heart, with an un-dying zest for off-road motorhoming, retiredcouple Paul and Maria Eberhard from AstonBay, life is a joyful journey with endless un-known places to be discovered and to beticked off their bucket list - and they chooseto tackle it in a TravelStar 4X4 motorhomenamed Monty.
Just returning from a 16 000km journeycrossing through Namibia, Botwana, Zimba-bwe and Mosambiek, the Eberhards is set toembark on yet another 17 000km journey withLalibela in Ethiopia as their destination -with a visit to Lake Tana, the Blue Nile Falls,Aksum, the hundreds of churches and a draftbeer at Wim’s Hollands House high on theirpriority list.
Along the way they will stop in Johannes-burg, Musina, Tanzania where people drivelike ‘maniacs’ and Kenya where a goat willbe slaughtered specially for them.
They will set off on the first leg of their 6month-long journey - travelling 500km a day- on October 4.
Already covering close to 500 000km of Afri-can roads and visiting Kenya four times, theyhave never been to Ethiopia.
“Our goal is to travel along the historicalroute of Ethiopia,” said Paul. “One of thehighlights of our journey will be to see MountKilimanjaro. We have been there before dur-ing winter times, but the mountain was al-ways covered in thick mist. We hope that sum-
mer’s luck will be on our side this time round.Another highlight we can’t wait for, is to seeall the people we have met on previous trips,as well as to experience the migration of thou-sands of Wildebeest in Musina.
“The most exciting part of travelling ismeeting all different kind of people. You nev-er know just who you might meet.”
Setting off on their journey, their first stopwill be at Olifantskop Pass where they will en-joy a nice cup of coffee - made with their ownNespresso Coffee Machine which never getsleft behind. According to Paul, this is the oneluxury they cannot do without. Second to thatis their bread machine.
“We try to pack as light as possible. We onlytake a limited amount of food with us, as welike to buy food as we travel. Furthermore,we only pack enough comfortable clothes forabout a week, as well as one or two smart out-fits. There is a washing machine on board ofMonty and, if necessary, we can buy clothesat most of the places we visit.
“This might be the last long-distance jour-ney for us.”
