Boschenmeer Golf and Country

Estate, locatedontheoutskirtsof

Paarl, is now almost fully devel-

oped, with just 11 vacant erven

remaining out of a total of 485

properties.

PamGolding Properties (PGP) re-

ports that the secure estate is one

of the most sought-after in the

Boland, offering a family-friendly

country lifestyle with excellent se-

curity,convenientcommunal facili-

ties and panoramic mountain

views.

The 140 ha estate enjoys a pictur-

esque setting on the banks of the

Berg River, framed by views of

Paarl Rock and the Drakenstein

Mountains.

PGPs areamanager forPaarl and

Franschhoek, Surina du Toit, says

10 properties have been sold on the

estate this year (2013) half of them

by PGP agents. These include a va-

cant plot of 828 m, sold for R710 000

in April, plus four family homes

sold for between R2,5 million and

R4,3 million.

The PGP sales included the two

highest prices achieved on the es-

tate this year, namely R4,3 million

and R3,55 million.

Boschenmeer was developed in

1997 around the existing Paarl Golf

Club, and offered the first 27-hole

course in the Western Cape a

David Frost signature course.

A new clubhouse was opened in

2004, and all residents of the estate

have access to its facilities, includ-

ing a driving range, restaurant, Pro

Shop, carwash and Virtual Golf ar-

ea, as well as a Golf Academy, ideal

for improving ones game or intro-

ducing youngsters to the sport.

The golf course forms the heart of

theresidentialestate,withnearly90

percent of all homes facing directly

onto the greens and fairways.

Du Toit says the estate is re-

nowned for its carefree family life-

style and magnificent mountain

views. This is a place where chil-

dren can still play outdoors in safe-

ty, feed the ducks and ride their bi-

cycles in the street, she says. It is

a very safe andwholesome environ-

ment for families, protected by ex-

cellent security including 24-hour

manned entrances with access con-

trol, and dog patrols at night. Be-

sides thegolf club, residents canuti-

lise other superb communal facili-

ties such as two tennis courts and

a swimming pool, as well as a boma

catering for up to 50 guests, which

can be rented out for functions and

events.

Another factor attracting family

buyers is the proximity to themany

excellent local schools, bothgovern-

ment and private, and to the Paarl

Mall.

There is even on-site accommo-

dation which can be rented by their

guests, including a boutique hotel

and a few self-catering lodges. And

of course there are a dozen superb

wine farmswithin a 20 kmradius of

the estate, aswell as ample opportu-

nities for hiking, climbing, moun-

tain-biking and kayaking.

Homeson theestateare separated

into separatenodes tomatch thedif-

ferent lifestyle needs of buyers.

These include a mix of full title and

sectional title townhouses, smaller

country homes on erven of under

400 m, and larger family homes on

plots ranging from 400 m to

1 000 m.

Of the remaining 11 vacant erven,

Du Toit says seven are currently on

the market, with prices ranging

from R820 000 for a 400 m plot, to

R1,495 million for 600 m.

The entry level pricing for town-

houses starts at around R1,4 mil-

lion, while the compact country

homes typically fetch between R2

million and R2,5 million.

Large family homes on larger er-

ven can fetch anything fromR3mil-

lion and more, depending on size

and the level of luxury finishes. Ar-

chitectural guidelines maintain a

Cape Vernacular design theme,

while still catering for owners indi-

vidual taste.

byvoorbeeld opmotorversekering bespaar as

die markwaarde die afgelope jaar afgeneem

het, maar as jy die afgelope 12 maande nuwe

meubels of ander huisraad gekoop het, moet

jy die premie vir jou huishoudelike verseke-

ring opskuif om seker te maak dat jy nie on-

derverseker is nie.

Disookbelangrikomseker temaakjyskeep

sin het, maar dit is beslis die moeite werd om

voor jy betaal en dan kwotasies elders te be-

kom om te bepaal of jy straks beter dekking

virdieselfdepremie, of dieselfdedekking teen

n laer premie kan kry, s hy.

Jou laaste taak is om jou begroting en alle

ge plek te bre. Jou dokumente behoort n lys

van alle bank- en beleggingsrekenings, verse-

keringspolisse in te sluit asook n volle inven-

taris van alles in jou huis wat verseker is en

wat in geval van n ramp vervangmoetword.

Jou inventaris behoort meubels, toerusting,

klere, gesertifiseerde juwele, kunswerke en

ander waardevolle items in te sluit en as dit

eldersgebergword, soosby joubank, jouegge-

noot of n ander betroubare persoon, moet jy

weet hoe om dit in geval van nood vinnig in

die hande te kry, skryf Everitt.

Disweerbelastingseisoenenn goeiege-

leentheidomnakkuratestaatvaninkom-

ste en uitgawes vir die afgelope jaar op te

stel en om jou finansile en spaarmikpun-

te vir die komende 12 maande onder die

loep te neem, veral as jy beplan om binne

die volgende jaar n huis van jou eie te

koop.

Dit is die raad van Berry Everitt, besturen-

de direkteur van die Chas Everitt Internatio-

nal-eiendomsgroep. Hy wys daarop dat raad-

gewers se heel eerste raad gewoonlik is om

jou begroting by nuwe omstandighede aan te

pas, soos werks- of salarisveranderings, ver-

anderings in jouhuishoudelike omstandighe-

deof leefstylenjouplanneomskuldtevermin-

der en meer te spaar.

Tweedens, s hy, moet jy seker maak almal

in jou gesin het dieselfde oogmerke. In die

meeste huishoudings is daar gewoonlik een

persoonwat geldsake hanteer, maar dis altyd

n goeie plan om die begroting en finansile

oogmerke minstens een keer per jaar met n

eggenoot of lewensmaat enouerkinders te be-

spreek en hul samewerking en voorstelle

vir minder uitgawes en meer besparings te

vra.

Everitt skryf in die nuusbrief, Property

Signposts, dat geldkenners dit eens is dat dit

makliker is omte spaar as jy n spesifieke oog-

merk het, byvoorbeeld n doelgemaakte fonds

virnoodgevalle, vir n reis,universiteitsgelde

of n aftreefonds of n deposito om n huis

te koop. Kenners wys egter ook daarop dat

ditgewoonlikngoeieplanisomeersuitstaan-

deskuldaf tebetaalvoordat jygeld in nspaar-

rekening stort. Die rede hiervoor is dat die

rentewat jyuit nspaarrekeningverdienmin-

der is as die rente wat op skuld gehef word.

Dit is veral belangrike raad virmensewat

beplan om n eerste huis te koop aangesien

bankeingevolgedieNasionaleKredietwetnie

huislenings aan mense met ho huishoudeli-

ke skuldvlakke kan toestaan nie.

Die derde stap, s hy, is om jou skuldlas rea-

listies onder o te neem en dadelik planne te

maak om dit te verminder. En al maak dit

rekenkundig dalk meer sin om skuld met die

hoogste rentekoers eerste af te betaal, het na-

vorsing telkens bewys dat verbruikers meer

gemotiveerd is om skuld af te betaal indien

hulle eers werk maak van kleiner bedrae en

dandie paaiementewathulle spaaropgroter

skuld betaal. Dit is waarskynlik die besteme-

tode indien jy regtig al jou skuldwil afbetaal.

Everitt s die proses kanvergemaklikword

kam en dan enige besparingwat jy kanmaak,

Dosellers reallyneeds

showhousesandboards?

Many sellers have an aversion to

putting their property on show, or

erectingaForSaleboard.Doyoureally

need these to sell your home?

No not if you dont want to sell for full

market value. Allow me to explain.

Every buyer will try to purchase for the

lowest amount.

If a property is listed at R1 500 000 and

the buyer believes there is little interest

in the property, the chances of a full price

offer are slim.

However, if there is evidence of strong

buyeractivityon thepropertyand thepos-

sibility of other offers, then a buyer will

be motivated to make his best offer.

Its called buyer competition and its

theonlywastoensureyousell for thehigh-

est price in the market.

So how do we create strong buyer com-

petition? We need to ensure that the prop-

erty is marketed to the widest buyer audi-

ence possible.

This will include print and electronic

marketing, but shouldalso include theuse

of showhouses andFor Sale boards.Why?

A typical buyer will drive through the

areas theyare interested inpurchasing in.

Theywill bedrawn toForSaleboardsand,

if the property appeals from the outside,

they will enquire on price and then make

an appointment to view.

AtHarcourtsweusephotoboardswhich

attract a buyer to a photo, as well as give

information on accommodation, and aQR

code that scans to thewebsite where price

and other details are available.

When a buyer enquires off a board and

they already know the accommodation,

the price, and the location, the quality of

the enquiry is exceptionally strong.

That means viewing by a genuine pur-

chaserwithstrong interest and less time-

wasting on unqualified buyers.

Showhouses are a very powerful tool in

achieving buyer competition.

Its important to ensure that showhous-

es are properly marketed just erecting

a few boards and hoping for the best is not

the way to do it as you attract many un-

qualified purchasers.

But when buyers in a database are

matched to a show house and specifically

invited to the show house, and the show

ouse is advertised, then attendance is

strong.

In addition to this, at Harcourts Plati-

num we have been trialing show houses

that run for shorter,more condensed peri-

ods, such as 45 minutes to 1 hour.

The show houses are advertised in the

body of our main print advert with the

opening times. The response has been in-

credible.

Inmanycaseswehaveagroupofbuyers

waiting at the show house for it to open.

Atarecentshowhousewehad12different,

qualified buyer groups through a luxury

property in 1 hour.

Buyers who showed interest could see

thebuyercompetitionandweremotivated

to act swiftly, making their best offer.

The result was a sale at 98% of asking

price within 2 days, and the property had

only been listed 1 week.

So, if you want to sell for the best price

themarketwill pay thendont reject show-

houses and For Sale boards. They make

all the difference.

Hot tips fora coolpool this summer

July and August are generally the busi-

estmonthsof theyearforswimmingpool

builders,ashomeowners lookforwardto

summer and take advantage of the dry

weather in most parts of the country to

get their additions and alterations done.

But with pools, as with any home im-

provement, the secret of being able to really

enjoy the finished work is to start right by

picking the best contractor and controlling

the building process, says Berry Everitt,

MDof theChasEveritt Internationalproper-

ty group.

WritinginthePropertySignpostsnewslet-

ter,hehasthefollowingadviceforhomeown-

ers:

)Never hire anyone who comes to your

door unsolicited or interrupts dinner with

a telesales special offer. If you want to put

in a pool, you make the first move, and find

outwhatplanningpermissionyouneedfrom

your localauthority todoso.Thengetquotes

from at least three reputable pool builders

who are members of the National Spa and

Pool Institute (see list on www.nspi.co.za).

)Dont base your choice of contractor en-

tirely on price. Research the track record of

each company. They should have no less

than three years experience building pools,

be able to show you photos of their finished

work and be able to supply phone numbers

of past clients you can call for references.

) Insist on running a credit check before

settling on a contractor. You can do this on

the Internet now at a minimal cost.

)Ask about who will be doing the actual

work the contractors employees, or sub-

contractors? Good pool companies use their

own labour, and will only start work once

the necessary plans have been approved.

) Protectyourself.Geteverything inwrit-

ing and never pay more than a 10% deposit

and that into a proper bank account, not

in cash.

) Link all further payments to specific

building milestones and hold on to the fi-

nal 10% until you are satisfied that all is in

working order and, if required, you have re-

ceived approval from the local building or

safety inspector.

Chlidanthus, the scentof spring

What is itwiththespringseasonthatgets

us all excited? Yes, theres that element

of new life and the prospect of newbegin-

nings,but theresalsoawonderful senso-

ry appreciation for nature new blos-

soms, their scents, their beautiful pretti-

ness and their promise of soon-to-grow

fruit.

As floral themespopupeverywhere from

fabric ranges to school projects you may

want to join in the flower-power brigade by

planting bulbs that love flowering in Sep-

tember and October when spring is at its

peak.

Chlidanthus, with their incredibly sweet,

citrus fragrance, should be your first port

of call when choosing a bulb to really make

you feel like spring has sprung. Known as

the perfumed fairy lily, C. fragrans is the

species available to gardeners (its also

knownas thePeruvian daffodil for its origin

in the Peruvian Andes), a species guaran-

teed to fill your home with the exhilarating

aroma of the new season.

C. fragrans funnel-shaped yellow flowers

areastriking little collectionofpetals, 10 cm

in diameter, on 20 cm long spikes. Because

the flowers appear before the leaves do,

theres nothing for them to hide behind

just bloom after bloom, about three or four

on a stem.

TheGreekword fromwhichChlidan-

thus is derived chlide, meaning opu-

lence is indicative of the strong state-

ment these blooms can make.

For your own garden of opulence,

plant these bulbs (which should be for

sale in August and September) in an

area of full sun to semi-shade, 4 cm be-

low the ground, and 8 cm apart from

one another, in friable soil containing

nutritious, old compost. This should be

done in early spring (September and

October) for best results. If planting di-

rectly in the garden, consider lining a

walkway with these plants so that the

scent carries you along your walk, or

on a terrace at eye level so that youre

instantly hit by the scent as you pass

by. Alternatively, pots are a great way

to carry the scent indoors when the

flowers begin to bloom, affording you

a truesenseof spring insideyourhome,

and not just out in the garden.

Whats more, indoors you have less

chance of these plants being pestered

by the snails and slugs that love attach-

ing themselves to Chlidanthus.

Thebulbswill go intoadormant state

between April and June, so if you wish

to lift them, do so at the end of this peri-

od, in themonth of June.Offsets should

be kept for planting, although patience

may be required with these, as they

usually take three years to flower.

The same patience may be necessary

when waiting for winter to end so that

you can start planting your favourite

sweet-smelling yellow petals.

No matter where you choose to plant

your Chlidanthus, you can take advan-

tage of their potential as great cut flow-

ers and place them in vases in each

room in the house, giving your interi-

ors a spring in every step.

The cumulative value of residen-

tial sales inFranschhoekhasnear-

ly doubled year-on-year in 2013

over 2012, says Bev Malan of Lew

GeffenSothebys InternationalRe-

alty Franschhoek.

In the period of January

March 2012, nine residential sales

to the value of almost R27 million

were concluded, says Malan.

Over the same period this year

15 residential sales to the value of

R54 million were concluded.

Thats an astonishing rise on last

years figure.

Increased demand for the wine-

lands country lifestyle is driving

prices up as buyers not only from

Cape Town but from Gauteng and

KwaZuluNatal snapupproperties

too.

Additionally, there is very little

land available for development,

which makes Franschhoeks his-

toric homes evenmore valuable to

buyers. What land there is, is be-

ingboughtup rapidly, saysMalan.

Three of the five lifestyle es-

tates in Franschoek, which in-

clude the well-known La Ferme

Chantelle and Domaine des Anges

Estates, are completely sold out

and there is very little free land for

development in the village.

Over the past six months Lew

GeffenSothebys InternationalRe-

alty has sold four erven with a cu-

mulative value exceeding R6 mil-

lion.Threeof theseproperties, two

ofwhichwere550 mplots inaresi-

dential wine estate selling for

R950 000 and R975 000, respective-

ly, were sold to South Africans.

The third was a 1 500 m plot and

plan in a security estate that sold

for R1,650 million.

When people invest in

Franschhoek, theyre investing in

a lifestyle, says Malan. South

African buyers in particular are

drawnnot only to the beauty of the

area, but also to the feeling of secu-

rity and community that comes

withvillage life.This isparticular-

ly the case in the areas gated es-

tates and is a major draw-card for

bothyoung familiesandolder resi-

dents looking for a place to settle

down and retire.

Property prices in Franschhoek

range fromR3,5million fora3-bed-

room, 3-bathroom home in the vil-

lage to R10,5 million for a top-tier

7-bedroom, 7-bathroomhomewith

mountain views.

Franschhoek home sales almost double in 2013

South African buyers in particular are

drawn not only to the beauty of the

area, but also to the feeling of security

Aweek of concentrated testing in

the Namib Desert near Walvis

Bayhas takenToyotaMotorsport

SouthAfricaabig step forward in

their preparations for the 2014

Dakar Rally in South America

from January 5 to 18.

It will be the third time the Toyota

Imperial Dakar Team tackles the

worlds longest and toughest motor

race following a third place in 2012

and a second in 2013. The team will

again enjoy sponsorship support

from commercial partners Imperial

Toyota, Duxbury Netgear, Innova-

tion Group and Toyota Financial

Services.

rookie Leeroy Poulter andRobHow-

ie,whonavigatedDuncanVosto10th

open expanse of the Namib, some

32 km south east of Walvis Bay and

within 18 km of the Atlantic Ocean,

totakeadvantageof thecombination

of sand dune fields and gravel tracks

closely resembling the geography

they will experience in the Dakar

Rally.

tinued our development of the Toyo-

can Cross Country Championship,

whichisoneofthetoughestandmost

respected national championships

in the world, said team principal

Glyn Hall.

AnthonyTaylorandDennisMur-

phy are leading the championship

with three rounds remaining after

winning the last three rounds and

Duncan Vos and Rob Howie are

third, so we are happy with our

progress. Id say that the local cham-

pionshipsatisfies55%to65%ofwhat

we need to know to tackle the next

Dakar with confidence, with the ob-

vious exception of driving on sand

dunes.

The local championship gives us

theopportunity to test the reliability

of the vehicles components. For the

rest weve come to Namibia for the

sanddunesand thesemi-desert envi-

ronment that is so similar to the ge-

ography of the South American

coastal areas, specifically in Chiles

Atacama desert, reputed to be the

driest in the world.

eye of Hall, has been concentrating

onsettingup thechassis andsuspen-

the lattergreatlyappreciatedbyGin-

iel andDirk .Poulter took full advan-

tage of the opportunity to drive the

time.

While other engineswere evaluat-

Theweatherconditionswereper-

gramme of tasks and nearly all were

completed with good results, espe-

cially thenewsuspensionwhichwas

only finished the day before we left.

A great team effort. We still have

someissuestosortout,whichiscom-

monplace when you are developing

new ideas.

Leeroy, aswe expected, has fitted

into the Dakar team very easily and

has gained valuable knowledge in

both the big sand dunes and rough

gravel conditions ahead of the

Dakar.Heused everyhour available

to run in the dunes and finalised

some of the testing of the new car

while Giniel completed some televi-

sion work on the final day.

We nowneed to complete the two

new Dakar bakkies that are under

construction in our workshop and

apply what weve learnt this past

week in Namibia. There is still a lot

of work that lies ahead and the pres-

sure will be on until we deliver the

Dakarvehicles toSouthAfricanAir-

FreshandexcitingMG3coming toSouthAfrica

QUICKPIC

South African fans of British

connoisseur brand MG have

something to look forward to at

the upcoming Johannesburg In-

ternational Motor Show (JIMS)

in October a sneak preview of

the new MG3, only to be

launched in its home country

next month.

This new supermini will appeal

to the younger generation with its

sporty 78 kW engine and chassis

dynamics,aswellasgenerousspec,

practicality and advanced safety.

The newMG3,which is expected

in South Africa before the end of

the year, proves the saying dyna-

mite comes in small packages!

Intheeventof theMG3,however,

it is more a case of TNT the new

supermini boasts unique design

features such as its signature front

LED daytime running lights and a

wrap-around front windscreen.

Hidden from the sporty exterior

styling is a spacious interior one

of the largest in the supermini

class. Multiple airbags and a host

ofmechanicalandelectronicsafety

features offer some of the latest

safety technology as standard

equipment.

The key attraction formany peo-

ple will not only be the attractive

looks of the new MG3, but also the

massive fun factor offered by this

new 5-door hatch with its spacious

interior.

South African MG chief operat-

ing officer Craig Lanham-Love

says the new MG3 offers buyers

something really new. It is a styl-

ish, highly practical car that is

huge fun to drive and fun to own.

Still to be launched to the UK

market (September 2013), four

models will be available to choose

from, with a full range of options

and accessories. Specifications

and options for the South African

marketwillbeannouncedattheJo-

hannesburg International Motor

Show in October, with pricing ex-

pected to be announced closer to

launch in the last quarter of the

year.

The four models are the flagship

MG3 Style, the mid-range MG3

FormandMG3FormSport, aswell

as the entry model MG3 Time. De-

tails of the local line-up for the

South African market will be an-

nounced closer to launch.

All models are powered by a

sporty Dohc VTi-Tech petrol en-

gine with a 5-speed manual gear-

box and have the same great MG

chassis designed to make driving

the MG3 a bit more fun than any

average car in this segment. The

1.5 F engine delivers 78 kW at 6 000

rpm and 137 Nm of torque at 4 750

rpm, making it an easily driveable

car. Acceleration from 0100 km/h

isexpectedtobearound10seconds,

reaching a top speed in excess of

175 km/h.

MGSouthAfricageneralmanag-

er Derrick Bishop describes the

MG3 as a modern MG that allows

a new generation of people to have

fun with their MG.

And dont be fooled by the com-

pact dimensions on the outside

the newMG3 boast one of the larg-

est interiors in the supermini

class, says Bishop.

The new range of models to be

launched inSouthAfricawill beon

showat theJIMSfrom18to27Octo-

ber, andwill be unveiled to theme-

dia on 16 and 17 October (media

days for accredited media).

The 1,5 F engine delivers 78 kW at 6 000 rpm and 137 Nm of torque at 4 750 rpm, making it an easily

driveable car. Acceleration from 0100 km/h is expected to be around 10 seconds, reaching a top speed in

excess of 175 km/h. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

Big on car, small on price theNissanAlmera returns

QUICKPIC

The new Nissan Almera is available with a

1.5F petrol engine. The 1 498 cc unit produces

a healthy 73 kW of power at 6 000 rpm and

134 Nm of torque at 4 000 rpm. The low-emis-

sionandefficient engineallows the five-speed

manual version of the new Nissan Almera to

achieveaveragecombinedcycle fueleconomy

of 6.3F per 100 km, the four-speed automatic

variant achieving 7.2. Carbon emissions for

both models are 149 g/km and 171 g/km re-

spectively.

The already compact engine has been rede-

signed and repackaged for the new Almera,

various components including the air filter,

fuel hose and intake manifold being adapted

to suit the compact nature of theAlmeras en-

gine bay which has been designed around

minimal proportions in order tomaximise in-

terior space.Theautomatic gearbox inpartic-

ularhas seencomprehensivedesignenhance-

ments which contribute to its light weight,

compact nature. Changes include flattening

of the torque converter, a reduction in the to-

tal number of gearbox components by 12%,

relocation of the gear layout and amore com-

pact direct control linear solenoid all of

which results in a total length reduction of

43 mm and weight saving of 10 kg, inherent

benefits including a reduction in fuel con-

sumption, improved shift performance and

better driveability.

Contributing further to driving enjoyment,

handling and NVH, torsional stiffness of the

new Almera has been heightened, thanks to

reinforcement particularly towards the rear

where the parcel shelf, the rear seat cross

member and seat-back V-brace make signifi-

cant differences. So too do the crease lines on

the roof of the newAlmera, which contribute

to a significant reduction in booming noise

while driving low frequency sounds and vi-

brationswhichworsenNVH levels. The roof

beads also contribute to better fuel consump-

tion thanks to cleaner aerodynamics.

Thechassisalsocontributes toenhancedef-

ficiency as a result of an innovative redesign

of key elementswhich impact on the vehicles

weight and under-body aerodynamics. New

materialsand improvedmachiningprocesses

also underwrite a lighter, more rigid and

more aerodynamic undercarriage. Suspen-

sion is by Macpherson strut with coil-over

dampers up front, with an H-type torsion

beamarrangement at the rear. Several design

improvements have weight-loss effects as

well, the benefactors being fuel economy and

ride quality, where a 15% increase in suspen-

sion stroke at the front is particularly signifi-

cant.

The weight-saving continues in other as-

pects of the new Almera including the rear

brake drums and indeed the interior, where

a parts reduction in dashboard construction

results in a weight saving of 3,4 kg alone.

Volkswagenemployees

get stateofart facility

QUICKPIC

Volkswagen Group South Africa has

openedaworldclasssportsandrecrea-

tional facility for its employees at the

manufacturing factory in Uitenhage.

The R30 million PeoplePavilion, which

caters for indoor and outdoor sporting ac-

tivities, will be used by all Volkswagen

employees and their families on any day

of the week.

The PeoplePavilion is not just a build-

ing but a platform where all our people

can engage with each other in a different

manner beyond the hierarchical struc-

tures. This world-class facility in terms

of structure and quality represents what

Volkswagen stands for as a people-orient-

ed organisation, said David Powels,

Managing Director of VolkswagenGroup

South Africa.

The PeoplePavilion was built on the

same land that housed the previous

Volkswagens sport complex. Our initial

plan was to renovate and improve the

physical structure of our aging sports

complex. However, it became apparent

whenwewere reviewing our new compa-

nystrategy thatpeople forman important

pillarofourplantobeingagreatorganisa-

tion. This provided us with an opportuni-

ty to invest in a people facility which

would help to improve their quality of life

whilst also allowing us to engage with

them, added Powels.

The facility has a gym which is man-

aged by a qualified Biokineticist and is

open to all Volkswagen employees to use

for a nominal membership fee. The gym

will also be used for the rehabilitation of

injured Volkswagen employees and is

equippedwithpurposelybuilt gymequip-

ment. There is also a clubhouse with a li-

censed bar and terrace which overlooks

the multi-purpose main field that will be

used for soccer, rugby and cricket.

The clubhouse has been outsourced to

Ashwin Doolabh, a local entrepreneur

who has been mentored and coached at

theVolkswagenBusiness Support Centre

in Uitenhage.

ThehighlightofPeoplePavilionis its in-

door multi-purpose sports hall which is

available to employees and local commu-

nity to hire for family celebrations such

asweddings. Thehall can also be convert-

ed intoa450-seaterconferencecentre.The

multipurpose hall is also fully equipped

for indoor sporting activities such as in-

doorcricket, indoorsoccer,volleyballand

martial arts.

Currently over 1 500 Volkswagen em-

ployees (about 30% of the employees in

Uitenhage) actively participate in 13 dif-

ferent sporting codes like netball, soccer,

cricket, cycling and klawerjas. We hope

the new facility will attract and motivate

more people to participate in different

sportingcodesthatareavailable.Wewant

PeoplePavilion to be home to our talented

sports people and their supporters, said

Powels.

The facility has already hosted a

number of employee events since it

opened last month. These include the in-

augural soccer match between Volkswa-

gen managers and supervisors as well as

an openday for employees and their fami-

lies.Thefirststageof the2013Volkswagen

Rally on 19 July can also bewatched from

the viewing decks of the clubhouse.

setting the pace in the

opening stages.

Conditions were

quite tricky. Some of

the stages on the first

day were very rocky.

Wegot apuncturedur-

thereforedecided tobe

quite cautious in the

early stages. Itworked

and we managed to escape puncture-free, ex-

plained Cronj.

Claiming three victories from six stages the

pair headed into day two as the favourites.

Since the lead car sweeps the field, there is

a fine balance between avoiding obstacles and

still keeping a good pace, he continued.

Managing to strike that balance Cronj and

Houghton went on to take their fourth win in

fivestarts,givingthemaclear leadinthecham-

pionship battle.

Jan Habig and Robert Paisley in the Basil

Read Fiesta S2000 were less fortunate. Despite

their earlypace they succumbed tomechanical

difficulties in the closing stages, ultimately

putting them into retirement.

What a greatweekend tobea sponsor, says

John Nagel, Ford Racing Manager. Not only

did wewalk awaywith victory in three catego-

ries but we enjoyed a phenomenal weekend of

spectating.

like to thank the landowners that allowed us

to race through and spectate on their proper-

ties. Everyone worked exceptionally hard in

the hot dry and dusty conditions to make the

first ever Ford Dealer Rally a huge success.

The Ford Dealer Teams efforts would not be

possible without the support of its dedicated

sponsors: Ford Dealer Network, Castrol, OMP,

Afrikaans concert

QUICKPIC

Jaguar Land Rover South Africa and

Sub Sahara Africa (JLR SA & SSA) has

announced its participation as the offi-

cial vehicle supplier to the popular Af-

rikaans is Groot concerts.

The popular concert attracts some of the

biggest names inAfrikaansmusic in South

Africa who will play to sell-out audiences

at Moreleta Church in Pretoria East on 6,

7 and 11 to 14 September and atGrandWest

Casino in Cape Town on 15 and 16 Novem-

ber.

Becoming the official vehicle supplier

is a natural fit for Land Rover, says Peter

Biven,MarketingandCommunicationsDi-

rector for JLR SA&SSA. LandRover ena-

bles a lifestyle for its owners, be it that fish-

ing trip, an expedition to the great out-

doors, or carrying people and equipment

to appreciate some of the finest localmusic

talent.

TheAfrikaansmarketremainsanimpor-

tant and influential customer-set for Land

Rover. As ironic as it is for a very English

brand to supportAfrikaansmusic,wehave

a loyal base of Land Rover fans within the

Afrikaans community, says Biven. This

is driven by their appreciation of the great

outdoors and off-roading in general, where

fierce competition resides between brand-

loyal friends and 4x4 enthusiasts alike.

They become our best defenders, so to

speak, jokes Bivenwith reference to Land

Rovers own iconic Defender.

Land Rover will be supporting the Afri-

kaansisGrootDirectorteamwithtwoFree-

landers and two Discoveries over the next

12 months They will get to appreciate the

premium brands capability in the urban

jungle, asmuchas the adventure ofmanag-

ing theappearancesof equally iconicSouth

African artists that include Bok vanBlerk,

TheunsJordaan,JaunitaduPlessis,Bobby

van Jaarsveld, Arno Jordaan, Karlien van

Jaarsveld, Riana Nel and Steve Hofmeyr.

Land Rovers current line-up is exactly

the type of premium vehicle these artists

andmany of their audience appreciate and

own. Its a great opportunity for the best

in premium 4x4s to work with the best in

Afrikaans talent.
