Al geskiet, maar Hoedspruit roep

Michelle Boshoff

MET slegs 'n vierwielmotorfiets en 'n waentjie wat spesiaal vir die ooppad ontwerp is, het mnr. Marius Scholtz (42) Maandag in Lydenburg aangedoen. Hy was onderweg van Ermelo na Hoedspruit om fondse in te samel vir die vloedslagoffers. Die vloede het in Januarie Hoedspruit en die gemeenskap daar geteister en in 'n rampgebied ontwikkel. Die stap-en-ry-tog is egter kortgeknip toe hy geskiet is voordat hy in Carolina kon kom. Hy het op 13 Februarie sy tog uit Ermelo aangepak. Hy is geskiet en deur drie mans aangeval terwyl hy gekamp het op die eerste aand.

Scholtz is die redakteur van die Highveld Tribune in Ermelo. “Ek is ’n avonturier. My personeel in Ermelo het gesê ek kan maar die avontuur aanpak, hulle kan op hul eie aangaan. Hierdie is ’n persoonlike uitdaging om klaar te maak, veral nadat ek geskiet is. Later vanjaar gaan ’n operasie aan my hand plaasvind, onder meer aan my ringvinger wat raakgeskiet is ,” het Scholtz gesê.Volgens hom kan motoriste erg ontvriendelik raak, dit is egter ’n sielvolle ervaring om hierdie tog vir die vloedslagoffers aan te pak. Hy is gul ontvang by karavaanparke en dorpe waar hy aangedoen het. Hy kan net sowat 40km to 60km aflê met die viertrekmotorfiets voordat hy moet oorstaan vir die nag. “Ek wou al lankal iets vir 'n 'cause' doen en Hoedspruit het my hulp nodig. Een van my ander ideale is om met 'n 'rubberduck'

van Kosibaai kuslangs te vaar. Maar ek moet eers 'n 'cause' kry om iemand daarmee te help.”Die noodtoestande in Hoedspruit is nog nie iets van die verlede nie en die mense sukkel steeds om skoon water te kry en aan basiese behoeftes te voorsien.

• Skakel Marius (of los ’n boodskap) by 082 561 8782. Die fonds waarvoor hy stap behoort aan die Hoedspruit Training Trust en word bestuur deur me. Christine du Preez, die DA-raadslid in Hoedspruit. Geen gelde word aan hom oorbetaal nie. Van die borge is Highveld Tribune, Wildman Hunt and Outdoor in Ermelo sowel as Trappers Trading Nasionaal en Hi-Tech.

Unrest at Modikwa causes havoc

NREST and the striking of workers were confirmed on Friday at Modikwa Platinum U

Mine in Limpopo. Some of the non-striking employees were intimidated by the strikers and were led to safety via other roads. According to the police officials they were patrolling the grounds and surrounding areas and were alert that a strike may take place.

The mine workers already indicated that they

were going to strike on Thursday. They

blocked one of the roads leading to the mine

grounds. Stones were thrown when the police

Workers barricaded roadstried to calm down the gathering crowds.

The strike continued on Friday and the police

were prepared for the mine workers creating

havoc.

The National Union of Mineworkers

announced on Wednesday that its members

would strike from Thursday, until their pay

demands had been met.

Spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said the union

was demanding a 12% wage hike while the

company was offering 9.5% for the lowest

paid workers and 8.5% for the highest paid

workers.

DIE klagstaat teen mnr. John Roos, wat elders in die pers f o u t i e w e l i k geïmpliseer is by bedrog van R 20 miljoen, is bekend. Daar is geen sprake van direkte bedrog, of diefstal deur mnr. Roos nie. Waar die

John Roos beskryf klagtes teen

hom as “Karaktermoord”

bedrag van R 20 miljoen vandaan kom, is ’n r a a i s e l e n d u i o p o n v e r b l o e m d e karaktermoord.Benewens dit, is daar mense in Lydenburg wat mnr. Roos reeds veroordeel het, ten spyte van die onskuldig tot skuldig bewys beginsel.Daar is drie klagtes: Eerstens van “misconduct” wat handel oor sogenaamde foutiewe instruksies aan sy personeel. Hierdie sogenaamde instruksies spruit uit logistieke probleme en meer senior personeel was hiervan bewus.Tweedens word mnr. Roos beskuldig van “poor work performance” wat spruit uit die feit dat mnr. Roos wel voorvalle van bedrog raakgesien en dit gerapporteer het. Onder andere beweer die klagstaat dat sekere boetes veminder is, ’n saak wat binne die

gedelegeerde diskresionere magte van die verkeershoof lê, maar nie by ondergeskiktes nie. Daar word beweer dat mnr. Roos die munisipaliteit van sekere inkomste “ontneem” het, deur boetes te verminder. In alle gevalle gaan die vermindering van ’n boete gepaard met ’n dagvaardiging, waarop die presiese boete aangedui word, gekoppel aan ’n vertoë deur die oortreder, gekoppel aan ’n kwitansie. In mnr. Roos se geval is hierdie dokumentasie in orde. Indien ander persone boetes kunsmatig opgeblaas het ten einde geld te bekom, is sodanige bedrog deur iemand anders gepleeg.Die derde klagte hou verband met “misconduct” in die sin dat mnr. Roos buite werksverband ’n besigheid genaamd JR Studio, wat deur sy eggenoot bedryf is, het, dit terwyl hy hierdie aktiwiteit aan die munisipaliteit op skrif verklaar het, soos deur munisipale regulasies vereis.Hierdie is ’n bestuursopleidingsentrum, ’n afdeling van JR Studio, met ’n rekenaarsimulator en duplikaat van ’n werklike toestsbaan, wat ’n diens aan die gemeenskap lewer.Hierdie is die totale klagte teen mnr. Roos. Geen bedrog teen hom as persoon, geen diefstal of iets anders nie.~ Andre Coetzee

resign to give birth and upon return were admitted to the TEPF; All students who were denied membership of a government pension fund based on status of employment, i.e. fixed term contracts; RSA Citizens employed in former TBVC States; kits konstabels in respect of the period served as kits konstabels before permanent appointment. Strikers: All qualifying employees dismissed for participating in strikes and who were later re-instated / re-employed with or without an agreement as identified below: employees of the former Transvaal Provincial Administration (TPA) dismissed in 1987 under Gauteng Health: Natalspruit, Sebokeng, JG Strijdom (Helen Joseph), Vereeniging (Kopanong) Hospitals and in certain Free State Hospitals; employees affected by the 1988 dismissals in the former Natal Provincial Administration (NPA); South African Police (SAP) members dismissed in 1990; and Employees dismissed in the TPA between 1991 and 1993.

Dieremishandelingp Dinsdag 15 Maart is ’n klein hondjie met min lug en ’n skrefie venster, in ’n warm motor gelos. Die eienaars van O

die motor was glo besig om te dobbel in die Thaba Gare Casino in Lydenburg. ’n Inwoner, wat anoniem wil bly, het ’n fyn getjank uit die voertuig gehoor en ondersoek

ingestel. Toe die persoon nader stap het die persoon gesien die motorruit is ’n klein bietjie oop en daar was wel bakkies met water en kos maar dit was baie warm buite. Daar was definitief nie genoeg lug, wind en suurstof vir die arme hondjie nie. Mnr. Kobus P i e n a a r w o r d b e d a n k d a t h y dringend die saak aangespreek het. Die doel van hierdie storie is om mense meer bewus te maak dat jy eerder die diere by die huis moet los, want met die hitte wat tans ondervind word, is dit onmenslik om ’n dier in ’n motor toe te sluit. Die persoon het gesê: “Ek is maar net ’n honde-eienaar maar my diere is my kinders.”

Die motor se ruit was op ’n skrefie oop.

Regstellende GeregtigheidHIER is nou ’n term waarvan ek vreeslik baie hou: Regstellende Geregtigheid.Normaalweg is ek sku vir die woord regstelleng, want dit word al te veel met rassisme geassosieer.Maar die renosterstroper Jacques Els het benewens sy agt jaar tronkstraf, ’n boete van een miljoen Rand gekry, wat hy as regstellende geregtigheid aan die Groen Skerpioene moet betaal.Tewens, hierdie is so ’n fenomenale beginsel, dat dit terstond in die regsboeke opgeteken moet word en as verpligte straf deur elke Landdros, of Regter in

hulle uitsprake toegepas moet word.Dink net, as dit moord of ernstige aanranding is, moet die krimineel se goed (tot sy bed) gevat en te gelde gemaak word en die geld aan ’n hospitaal bewillig word vir spesifieke noodsaaklike uitrusting. As dit roof teen ’n indiwidu is, moet regstellende geregtigheid sorg dat al die krimineel se goed gevat word, te gelde gemaak word en aan die slagoffer uitbetaal word. As dit ’n omgewings-misdaad soos wildstropery is, moet die skuldige se eiendom deur regstellende geregtigheid aan die betrokke parkeraad of owerheid wat die vervolging gedoen het, uitbetaal word. Ekonomiese misdaad moet die skuldige se goed aan SARS beskikbaar gestel word. Voertuigmisdaad

s’n aan die padboufonds en so aan.Die nasionale Batebeslagleggingseenheid sal dan effektief werk en meer werk kan selfs geskep word.Resultate sal oombliklik en verreikend wees. Misdaad sal drasties afneem. Tronke sal nie oorvol wees nie. Daar sal genoeg geld genereer word om die armes se las te verlig. Dit sal wetstoepassingsagentskappe soos verkeer, die SAPD en natuurbewaring se personeel tot groot hoogtes aanspoor, as hulle begrotings voordeel trek uit hierdie regstellende geregtigheid.Regters en Landdrosse se bonusse kan ’n persentasie van hierdie gelde wees. Dink net hoe entoesiasties Justisie sal wees!Ja, hoe meer ek daaraan dink, hoe beter klink dié plan vir my. Slim ouens kan die detail uitwerk.

JOB 29:14. Ek het reg en geregtigheid laat geskied; vir my was dit vanselfsprekend, so vanselfsprekend as om klere aan te trek.

Here bring reg en geregtigheid terug na ons verskeurde land toe - Amen

Jean-Marie Venter skryf: Na aanleiding van Andri se goeie skrywe oor die toestand van die begraafplaas registers in laas week se koerant, wil ek graag die volgende kommentaar lewer.Dit is jammer dat Andri en soveel ander bekwame personeel by die stadsraad bedank het. Hulle ondervinding en kennis sou baie gehelp het om die stadsraad reg te laat funksioneer. Met die volgende verkiesing wil ek voorstel dat Andri met haar sewentien jaar munisipale ervaring haar verkiesbaar stel as 'n raadslid vir Thaba Chweu Munisipaliteit. Mense sal verbaas wees hoeveel steun sy in die gemeenskap geniet.

k verlang na my maats by die ATKV Skryfskool in Potchefstroom hierdie jaar. Voor ek my oë kon uitvee, het die datum om in te skryf vir die kursus E

gekom en gegaan. Diegene wat ’n passie het sal weet hoe belangrik dit is om dit uit te leef. Joernalistiek is nie die skryf wat ek noodwendig wil skryf nie. Dis skryf vir my werk. Maar skryf kom uit ’n ander plek in jou hart. Dit begin daar waar jy as klein dogtertjie sprokies lees en jou indink as die prins eerder dit-of-dat vir die prinses gesê het. Skryf kom uit jou eie verbeelding en lewenservaring. Nie soos in joernalistiek wat jy die feite in ’n sekere styl moet neerpen nie. Elke mens het ’n storie: die vent wat voor jou indruk, die mense wat jou oggendasem ruik, jou skoonma... Dit is wat mense wat skryf weet - elke mens het ’n storie. Mens het baie tyd nodig voordat ’n boek die lig sien. In die werklike lewe moet jy ’n jaar of drie ‘sabbatical’ kan vat, jou afsny van die regte wêreld en iewers ’n inkomste vandaan kry. Dis sodat jou aandag op jou meesterstuk kan bly. Daar is hope skrywers wat die deursettingsvermoë het om voltyds te werk en te skryf in hul vrye tyd. Maar die meeste skrywers gebruik die eerste tjek van die uitgewer om ’n paar maande net hul boek te skryf. Want ’n boek is harde werk. En dit eindig nie by die skryf daarvan nie. My teoretiese kennis oor Skryfkuns as vak het al baie toegeneem deur die jare, ook te danke aan die feit dat ek Afrikaanse Skryfkuns en Afrikaans op universiteit as vakke gehad het. Die blootstelling wat mens op tersiêre vlak opdoen, kan nie maklik ge-ewenaar word nie. Hoe maklik word stories nie die spil waarom alles draai nie. Stories is wonderlike goed. Oor die kulture, eeue, geslagte en l and heen . Di t k ry ' n l ewe van sy e i e . Een ding wat stories egter vir ons doen, is om te vermaak, terwyl ander iets oor die lewe probeer vertel. Mag ek nooit sê: "Fluit-fluit, my storie is uit," nie. En diegene wat Wielie-Walie gekyk het, sal die frase nog onthou. Sarel Seemonster het immers gesê: “Stories is my l-e-w-e.”

Veels geluk aan Monzoon Geskenke en Kunswinkel wat hul verjaardag Saterdag gevier

het. Die personeel het te pragtig gelyk en behoorlik opgetof vir die geleentheid.

TOURISM Grading Council heads to Mpumalanga to recruit more establishments into the star graded fold'Global destination competitiveness relies on grading. It's a profoundly powerful marker in the minds of a world of travel consumers of quality and standards'SOUTH AFRICA can only claim to be a globally competitive tourist destination if service levels and hospitality standards match (and exceed) those of other major destinations, and if the South African industry embraces a benchmark system that the world's tourists recognise as a guarantee of quality and value for money in tourism infrastructure, products and offerings.In this regard, the importance of star grading cannot, and should not, be underestimated. For star grading is a universally accepted indicator of levels of service, of facilities and of cost.The Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA) is

thheading to Mpumalanga on the 19 of March 2012 to recruit more businesses into the fold of graded establishments; where it will explain the numerous competitive benefits that come with being graded and where it will give evidence of significant dividends delivered against investment in seeking, and securing star grading. Grading gives the hospitality industry a global network of businesses with which they are automatically aligned in the minds of tourists. The phrase 'five star', for example, has powerful resonance in the mind of a consumer shopping for a holiday. And it gives the establishment that has earned that grading a significant competitive edge. Consumers know what to expect from a graded establishment. They know how much to

Good news for tourism industry and grading

expect to pay. It's a phrase whose power and reputation stretches everywhere – from Copenhagen to Cape Town and from Durban to Dallas.The provincial roadshow comes naturally as a consequence of the significant overhauling of grading criteria two years ago. Thembi Kunene, chief quality assurance officer at TGCSA, says slightly more than 5 000 establishments in the country are presently graded. But with 17 000 establishments not enjoying the benefits of being graded, there is much to be done to invite them into the fold and work with the larger industry to power up South Africa's global destination competitiveness.“Grading is an entirely voluntary process. But the benefits are immense,” she says. “Graded establishments enjoy the powerful marketing platforms of a national destination marketing organisation, South African Tourism. They enjoy the personal advice and consultative services of an expert grading assessor. They enjoy being prioritised for government business and they are able to rightfully claim independent endorsement of their quality, service, standards and reliability.”The provincial roadshows, she adds, are a key component of the TGCSA's commitment to integrity and transparency. They provide a platform for everyone, both graded and ungraded establishments, to talk to senior members of TGCSA, ask questions and interrogate the grading process as it applies (or would apply) to them.Last year's roadshow was a major success not only for

TGCSA, but also for thousands of business owners who came to learn more about grading, and to network with each other. Those events focused on the minimum grading criteria and entry requirements. This year the roadshows will focus on the benefits of grading and how grading boosts the national and global competitiveness not only of establishments, but also of the larger destination. Star graded establishments enjoy: Preferential listing on the TGCSA and South African Tourism global web pages; · Government departments only procure accommodation and/or conferencing venues from graded establishments; · Only graded establishments get an opportunity to advertise in the Star Guide, the official guide to graded establishments in South Africa. This guide is distributed to all South African Tourism's offices worldwide and to all the South African embassies abroad;Only graded establishments are eligible to enter the Emerging Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year Awards (ETEYA); South African Tourism only procures accommodation or conferencing facilities from graded establishments when hosting both local and international trade and media; and · Graded establishments benefit from various training courses provided by South African Tourism. These include, but are not limited to, speed marketing exercises at home and in the key markets; and product packing and bundling for purposes of itinerary sales and planning.

CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE HAS A HOST OF BENEFITS FOR HOLIDAY MAKERS

AS South Africans get set for six weeks of increased seasonal travel – Hi-Q

has issued a reminder that correctly inflated tyres can save significantly at the

pump and even more. It also promotes safety, even tyre wear, enhances ride

comfort and it maximises fuel economy.

Bertie Strydom of Hi-Q Lydenburg said running a tyre just 20 % under-inflated

could increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 %.

Road safety advice from Hi-Q

“An under-inflated tyre

u s e s m o r e e n e r g y,

i n c r e a s i n g r o l l i n g

resistance and robbing the

vehicle of fuel efficiency. At

today's fuel prices, and

especially during this

holiday season when

people generally travel a

lot further, 10 % is a

c o n s i d e r a b l e a n d

unnecessary expense that

could be saved by a little

more fresh air!

“As well as being heavy on your pocket, running under-inflated tyres also

reduces their tread life which means they will need to be replaced sooner than

should be necessary. Plus it can be dangerous – studies show that up to 87%

of all flat tyres have a history of under-inflation,” Bertie said.

Statistics also reveal that one in every three cars has at least one under-

inflated tyre and, while nearly seven in ten drivers say they wash their

vehicles every month, barely more than half check tyre pressure in that

period. The majority of drivers (71%)

forget to check the pressure in their

spare tyre at all.

Get a Free Vehicle Safety Check

Countrywide

According to Hi-Q, motorists should

have their vehicles and tyres

inspected at professional tyre and

service outlets. Hi-Q, which has an

extensive national footprint in both

big cities and small towns, offers a

free 10-point safety check on

vehicles. This entails checking all

four tyres plus the spare for tread

depth and pressure, the front and

rear shock absorbers, the brake

pads, discs and fluid, as well as the

battery, exhaust and wiper blades.

Should any of the vehicle checks

highlight a warning or faulty part, the

technician will recommend the

correct course of action.

“Remember speed kills, but unsafe

tyres kill too,” said Mr. Bertie

Strydom.

IT'S a long process over many months but the SAGMJ Car of the Year was named during a banquet in Johannesburg. And the winner was, as predicted by Wheels24's reader survey, the Hyundai Elantra 1.8 GLS.

The sleek, medium sedan was also voted US Car of the Year.The Elantra is the first Korean car to be named the SA COTY, though Hyundai has had two finalists - the ix35 and Sonata in 2011 - and the i20 was a finalist in the 2010 Coty competition.

Alan Ross, MD of Hyundai Automotive SA, said after receiving the Car of the Year trophy: “We are extremely proud of the recognition that a world-class product such as the Hyundai Elantra has received from the Guild.

“This award, and the fact that we had two finalists in the previous competition, is confirmation of the giant strides Hyundai has made locally and globally. It is also recognition of the quality and emotional appeal that the Hyundai products have developed as part of the brand’s “Modern Premium’ strategy.”

Since its South African launch in August 2011, the current Elantra has become a leader in its model segment and gained recognition as a sedan more than sufficiently equipped to take the brand to “the next level”.

Choosing the SA Car of the Year involves dozens of members of the South African Guild of Motoring Journalists, the men and women who monitor the local auto trade throughout the year on your behalf, driving dozens of cars as part of their job and gaining a deep insight into the state of modern automotive technology.

The competition has a heavy weighting towards value for money - not always easy to decide among the 10 finalists whittled down from perhaps hundreds of possibilities from more automakers than ever before in this country. The judges' data is carefully monitored and analysed; the individuals trying hard not to be swayed by high performance, super-luxury and extrovert gadgetry.

Which is why in previous years super-sedans have lost out to small family cars.

Ons toets die nuwe Toyota AvanzaHIERDIE week het ons met die nuwe Toyota Avanza gery. Beskikbaar in 1.3 paneelwa, 1.3 S en SX en 1.5 SX, 1.5 SX Auto en 1.5 TX, behoort hullle in almal wat ’n bekostigbare ruim voertuig soek, se smaak te val.Ons het die 1.5 SX onder hande gehad. Dit kom met lugversorging, elektriese ruite (outo op bestuurdersru i t ) e lekt r ies verste lbare b u i t e s p i e ë l s , t w e e l u g s a k k e , A B S , afstandbeheerde sluit, kragstuur (hoogte verstelbaar), sonbrilhouer en ’n derde ry sitplekke. Op die luukse TX is daar ’n radio / CD, satellietkontroles op die stuurwiel, dubbelsone lugversorger, alooiwiele, misligte en luukser afwerking binne. Pryse vir die passasiersmodelle wissel vanaf so R 150 000 tot R 202 000 vir die TX.Die 1.5 SX verteenwoordig myns insiens goeie waarde vir geld. Die gebrek aan ’n radio en allooiwiele is nie ’n probleem nie en sou ek self ’n goeie radio / CD van my keuse en wiele van my keuse laat monteer.Op die pad het die Avanza my verbaas. Die 1.5 VVTi maak 76 kW en 136 Nm se krag. Die ratte is baie kort, wat skitterend werk in stadsverkeer, maar die enjin is nogal besig op die oop pad. Teen 120 km/u draai dit teen ongeveer 4 000 opm en

teen 150 teen amper 5 000 opm in vyfde.Ratskakeling is uitstekend en die pedale werk maklik en lig. Ek sou ’n voetrus vir die linkervoet verkies. Remme is goed en vir sy hoogte is die Avanza lekker stabiel. Die stuur is lig en baie direk. Die hoogte maak dat jy ’n uitstekende uitsig het, in- en uitklim is maklik en ruimte is volop. Die beenruimte vir die tweede ry sitplekke is skitterend en mens sit lekker. Met die derde ry sitplekke in, is die bagasieruim kleiner as verwag, maar vir ’n gewone familie sal ek die derde ry sitplekke uithaal en dan het jy ’n reuse bagasiebak.Met die Noord-Suid uitleg van die enjin, ’n dryfas en agterwielaandrywing, sal instandhouding en dienskoste op die Avanza maklik en bekostigbaar wees.Wat instrumente betref is daar ’n toereteller, snelheidsmeter en digitale brandstofmeter met twee ritmeters. Enjintemperatuur word deur liggies in verskillende kleure aangedui met ’n veiligheids afsnysisteem.Vir die gesin wat ’n bekostigbare ruim voertuig soek, is die Avanza in ’n klas van sy eie en sy populariteit getuig daarvan. Beslis ’n baie goeie kopie. Andre Coetzee.

Golf Cabrio ’n plesierHierdie is die tweede afslaankap motor wat ons in twee weke toets. Die VW Golf TSI Cabriolet verskil egter baie van die Mazda MX5. Die MX5 is ’n tweesitplek roadster. Die Golf is ’n viersitplek Europese Cabriolet of “Convertible”. Dit is nie ’n hardebaard sportmotor nie.Wat dit wel is, is ’n tegnologies hoogs gevorderde, gesofistikeerde, luukse motor, waarvan die dak elektronies kan afslaan.Ons het die 1.4 TSI 6-spoed handrat Comfortline 90 kW getoets. Daar is ook ’n 1.4 TSI dubbelturbo Highline 118kW en beide hierdie modelle is met die DSG ratkas ook beskikbaar, dus vier modelle.Pryse het my verbaas vir ’n cabriolet. Ons toetsmotor kos R 283 400 en die top 118 kW met DSG kos R 338 500.Die elektriese dak neem net 9.5 sekondes om oop te maak en 11.8 sekondes om toe te maak en kan in beweging (maks 30 km/u) gedoen word. Daar is ’n regte verhitte glasvenster agter en outomatiese rolstawe wat saam met die lugsakke ontplooi in ’n ongeluk. Bagasiebakspasie bly dieselfde of die dak op of af is, teen 250 liter. Dit is nogal groot vir ’n cabriolet. Daar is ’n volgrootte spaarwiel. Die bakwerk is aansienlik verstewig om wringbuig te voorkom en inkorporeer bakeienskappe van Golf, Scirocco en Audi A3 cabriolet.Binne is daar volleer sitplekke, waarvan die rugleunings van die agterste sitplekke individueel kan stel. ’n Aparte windskerm kan bo-oor die agtersitplekke getrek word om dit soos ’n tweesitplek te laat lyk. Daar is ESP met HBA, ABS en EDL. Daar is vyf lugsakke en Bi-Xenon hoofligte met LED dagryligte. ’n Goeie klankstelsel met AUX in en met raakskerm funksie, satelliet kontroles op die stuurwiel, elektriese ruite, elektries verstelbare, verhitte buitespieëls, lugversorging, afstandbeheerde sentrale sluit en al vier ruite op met een knoppie, is standaard. Agterligte is van die LED tipe. Die paneelkassie is verkoel. Die ritrekenaar is volledig en gee etlike funksies en daar is togbeheer (speed control).Op die pad is die Golf Cabrio pure plesier. Die 1.4 TSI maak 90 kW en 200 Nm wringkrag. Dit trek enige dag soos ’n goeie konvensionele tweeliter en selfs beter. Die enjin toer ’n rustige 2 600 opm teen 120 en onder 3 000 teen 140 km/u in sesde. Die sespoed handratkas skakel seepglad en alle kontoles werk lig en getuig van gehalte. Die skyfremme op al vier wiele is uitstekend.Hantering en stabiliteit is tipies van Golf - uitmuntend. Met die dak af is windgeraas minimaal tot op 140 en met die dak op is die motor so stil soos in enige hoëgehalte motor.Soos ons nou al van VW gewoond geraak het, is hulle enjins meesterstukke. In hierdie geval moet jy weereens nie teen die 1.4 liter en 90 kW vaskyk nie. Daar is hope krag en dit versnel in hoë ratte teen die steilste bulte. As jy werklik ’n kragvraat is, gaan vir die 118 kW weergawe. By turboenjins tel die wringkrag meer en voel hulle altyd baie kragtiger as nie-turboenjins.Daar is niks verkeerd met hierdie motor nie. Teen die prys is dit uitstekende gehalte en louter bestuurplesier. Andre Coetzee

EARLIER in 2012 we reported that Opel would be launching a new Astra sedan. Now it seems the German automaker will be boosting the model line-up even further.

Our spy photographers braved frigid northern Europe to capture images of Opel’s new Astra estate.

The model in our spy images was undergoing handling-tests in frigid conditions. The new model looks like its borrowed much of its styling from the Insignia sedan, especially at the rear.

The new model is set to make its debut at the 2012 Paris auto show and is set to receive all but the sportier engines from the Astra hatchback range.

South Africans have never warmed up to estates, but we asked General Motor’s Caroline Thomas whether the new estate would be arriving in SA: “We continue to evaluate all Opel products deemed suitable for the SA market and the decision to introduce any product will be based on the fundamentals of integral value to the brand, volume opportunity and profitability - no final decisions made at this stage.”

Wheels24.co.za

ED: We disagree. The previous Astra Estate was popular and is more affordable than an SUV or Subaru Forrester. These cars are ideally suited to convey the kids, copious amounts of luggage or the family Great Dane. It would also work well for many reps.

Bring it back.

New Astra Estate?EEN / TWEE-SEGE VIR FORD BY RFS MAGALIES 400

FORD Racing het 'n ongelooflike dubbele oorwinning in die Produksievoertuig-kategorie van die RFS Magalies 400, die eerste ronde van die Absa-Veldrenkampioenskap aangeteken.

Die voormalige Suid-Afrikaanse kampioene, Chris Visser en Japie Badenhorst het gerieflik voor hul spanmaats, Lance Woolridge en Ward Huxtable gewen met beide spanne wat in fabrieks-Ford Racing TDCi-voertuie ingeskryf het. Visser en Badenhorst het nie 'n wiel verkeerd gesit in die warm en stowwerige omstandighede op 'n strawwe roete nie en het sewe minute voor Woolridge en Huxtable klaargemaak.

Dit was 'n geskiedkundige resultaat vir Ford Racing wat hul eerste een / twee-resultaat in die Absa-reeks aangeteken het. Dit was 'n perfekte begin tot die seisoen vir Ford, wat ook die eerste vervaardiger was om 'n Suid-Afrikaanse nasionale byeenkoms met 'n dieselaangedrewe voertuig te wen, toe die spanhoof, Neil Woolridge en Kenny Skjöldhammer die Toyota-handelaars 400 drie seisoene gelede gewen het.

“Ons was tydens die toetssessie voor die seisoen baie opgewonde oor die voertuig en ons het 'n goeie ren gehad,” het Visser gesê. “Dit was warm en stowwerig en die roete was baie knap en kon jou uitvang. Mens kon nie foute maak nie.

“Dit is altyd lekker om te wen, maar dit was 'n groot spanpoging en Lance en Ward tesame met die tegniese span het hulself uitstekend van hul taak gekwyt. Ons kon nie vir 'n beter begin tot die jaar gevra het nie.”

Beide Ford Ranger-spanne het soliede vertonings tydens Vrydag se Donaldson-voorren, wat die wegspringvolgorde vir die ren bepaal het, gelewer. Visser / Badenhorst was tweede met Woolridge / Huxtable vyfde en teen die einde van die tweede van die drie kringroetes waaruit die ren bestaan het, was dié twee spanne stewig in beheer van sake.

Die voorrenwenners, Gary Bertholdt en Siegfried Rousseau, was vroeg reeds slagoffers in die Atlas Copco-Toyota Hilux en Visser en Badenhorst het die voortou geneem en dit nie weer afgegee nie. Pikkie Labuschagne / Rikus Erasmus (Ruwacon-Toyota Hilux) en Malcom Kock / Johan Burger (Kock en Seun-Toyota Hilux) het ook probleme ondervind en dit het Woolridge en Huxtable laat opskuif.

Terence Marsh en George Smalberger het 'n tipiese bestendige vertoning in die Regent Racing-Nissan Navara gelewer om die orige podiumposisie op te raap. Die omstandighede het nie enige heldevertonings toegelaat nie en met die aanvang van die finale rondte was Marsh en Smalberger goed geplaas om hul seisoen op 'n soliede basis te begin.

Daar was ook goeie resultate vir die Pretoria-paar, Christiaan du Plooy en Henk Janse van Vuuren, wat vierde in die RFS-BMW X3 was. Terug van hul goeie Dakar-vertonings, het Duncan Vos en Rob Howie (Castrol-Toyota Hilux) 'n beheerde ren voltooi en die top vyf afgerond, net 19 sekondes agter die RFS-BMW.

Laasjaar se wenners, Hannes Grobler en Hennie ter Stege in die tweede RFS-BMW X3, was sesde met Hugo de Bruyn en Henri Hugo sewende in die Micaren Exel-Toyota Hilux ná 'n bestendige ren. Cliff Weichelt, wat nou in Perth woonagtig is, en Johan Smalberger was net 20 sekondes agter hulle en het die top agt afgerond en met die Klas D-louere in die N1 4x4-Toyota Land Cruiser weggestap.

Graham en Trevor Leith het die eerste fabrieks-Ford Ranger wat gebou is in die negende plek huis toe gebring en ná 'n dapper poging het Anthony Taylor en Chris Birkin in die top 10 in die tweede Castrol-Toyota Hilux klaargemaak. Na 'n teleurstellende Donaldson-voorren wat die wegspringvolgorde bepaal het en waartydens 'n wiel uitgebreek het nadat hulle 'n groot rots getref het, was Taylor en Birkin verplig om saam met die groep agter in die veld weg te spring.
