SOWAT 108 leerlinge van Dr G.J. Joubert Primr

driewekemaagaandoenings opgedoen. Dit is na be-
wering as gevolg van onhiginiese toestande wat
deur die Soetrivier-kanaal in die Rusthof, Strand-
gebied veroorsaak word.
Volgens die skoolhoof, Martin Leukes, kan die
siektes beslis aan die onhiginiese toestande toege-
skryf word. Hy s die kinders en onderwysers het
maagaandoeningsopgedoen toedie stankuitdieka-
naal vererger het.
Di verbintenis word ook versterk deur die feit
dat s n groot aantal kindersmet soortgelyke simp-
tome siek geword het, verduidelik Leukes.

Leukes s ook die onuithoudbare stank wat n
suur ondertoon en n brandende effek op jou keel
het is veral soggens en saans baie erg. Mr, die
reuk hang ook heeldag in die klaskamers en die res
van die skoolgebou rond, wat dit
moeilikmaak vir kinders om te kon-
sentreer. Onderwyseres Gayroma

Di skool, asookander skole indie
omgewing wat dieselfde probleem ondervind, is
tans besig met n petisie teen swak dienslewering.
Inwoners wat ook hierdeur geraak word, lug
reeds jare lank hul bekommernisse oor die swak
instandhouding van die kanaal, maar hul klagtes
val op dowe ore.
DebbieLangeveldvandieStrand sdieprobleem
is so erg dat hulle dit moeilik vind om te eet en selfs
besoekers bly weg as gevolg van die reuk.
Selfs binne-in jou huis moet jy jou neus toe hou
tydens n gesprek, kla sy.
Claudine Wood wat naby die kanaal woon s in-
woners ervaar naarheid wat met diarree gepaard-
gaan, en sy net soveel erger omdat sy aan asma ly.
Volgens Stad Kaapstad se departement paaie en
stormwater,watverantwoordelik isvirdie instand-
houding van die kanaal, is dit gebou om by te dra
tot vloedverligting. Hulle s ook dat die kanaal ge-
reeld skoongemaak en in stand gehou word.
ShehaamSims, StadKaapstadseraadslidvirwa-
ter en sanitasie, s egter hulle het reeds twee weke
gelede toe hulle van die stank uitgevind het on-
dersoek ingestel en n verstopping verwyder.
Op 30 Augustus het die inspekteur nog n ver-
stopping gerapporteer.Die verstoppingwat toe ver-
wyder is, is veroorsaak deur n fabriek in die omge-
wing wat iets in die stroom gestort het, s Sims.
Wyk 86 se raadslid JongidumoMaxhele, wat ook

op te tel omdat inwoners en skoolkinders daagliks
van Onverwachtweg, waarlangs die kanaal l, ge-
bruik maak. Baie kinders speel ook

byloop, s hy.
Volgens Sims is die probleem n
gesondheidsrisiko en sal n opvoe-
dingsprogram aan inwoners gebied
word om te verhoed dat hulle enige
voorwerpe in die kanaal stort.
Raadslid Lungiswa James, bur-
gemeesterskomiteelid vir gesondheid, s gastron-
teritis as gevolg van bakterile infeksies of virusse
word versprei deur direkte kontak met besoedelde
voorwerpe. Sou lede van die publiek in di geval
direk met besoedelde water in die kanaal in aanra-
king kom, stel hulle hulself bloot. Hoewel die stank
kan aanstoot gee, sal dit nie tot infeksie ly nie.

SOMERSETWEST resident Marilyn Durr believes that if she had arrived at the Mr Price
store in Somerset West 10 minutes earlier, she would have walked straight into a robbery.
Five men barged into the store on Thursday afternoon, locked the staff and customers
in a back room and took off with an undisclosed amount of cash. The store was recently
revamped, and the day of the robbery coincided with their reopening. page 2
NGAKWELIPHINYATI (38) appeared in the SomersetWestMagistrates Court onMonday
in connection with the murder of a Vetus Schola security officer. The officer, Jhuvonne
Julies (33), was stabbed to death in the early hours
of Saturday 21 July, while he was on duty. He had
been responding to a complaint in Lourensford
Road when his assailant confronted him and
stabbed him several times in the neck and chest.
The murderer made off with Julies firearm.
During patrols on Thursday 30 August, police of-
ficers arrested aman,who appeared to be under the
influence, for disorderly conduct. A gun and bullets
were also found inhis possession. Itwas later found
that the firearm could be linked to Julies murder.
Nyatis casewas postponed to tomorrow (Friday)
for a bail application. page 5
NEWS SUMMARY
Klant loop haar amper vas in rowers
ILLANA FRANTZ
As ek tien minute vroer daar aangekom
het, het ek sekerlik die rowers daar in die
winkel betrap.
S s Marilyn Durr nadat sy Donderdag
op die personeel en klante van Mr Price in
Somerset-Wes afgekomhet, waar hulle agter
in die winkel opgesluit was.
Die winkel is onlangs opgegradeer en die
dag van die rooftog was die heropening van
die winkel.
Marilyn,wat 20 jaar by die Strand-tak van
diewinkelgroep gewerkhet, het di dag daar
ingeloer om die personeellede te groet.
Sy het omstreeks 17:50 by die winkel inge-
stap en dit vreemd gevind dat die deur nog
op n skrefie oop was.
Die sekerheidsbeampte staan gewoonlik
by die deur, maar daar was niemand in sig
nie, nie eers by die tille nie. Ek het ingegaan,
na diemense geroep en sagte stemme vanuit
n agterkamer gehoor, onthou sy.
Die bestuurder het geantwoord dat hulle
beroof was en toe toegesluit is. Een van die
werknemers het dit reg-
gekry omoordie afskor-
ting te klim en die deur
oop te maak. Hulle het
daarnadiepolisie gebel.
Die personeellede,
wat deur die bestuur
verbied is om met die
media tepraat,hetDins-
dag en Woensdag nog
berading n die voorval
ontvang. n Erg getrau-
matiseerde assistentbe-
stuurder het die
DistriksPos se navrae
na die areabestuurder Riaan Hendrikse ver-
wys, maar hy wou nie in die stadium oor die
aangeleentheid kommentaar lewer nie.
VolgensMarilynwasdaar sowat 20mense
wat n die rooftog toegesluit was.
As my suster my nie gevra het om melk
tekrynie,soueknievoorafbydie 7/11gestop
het nie en dan sou ek sekerlik nog die rowers
daar gekry het. Wie weet hoe dinge dan sou
uitgedraai het, vertel Marilyn.
Vyf mans het verlede week die Mr Price in Somerset-Wes,
tydens hul heropening beroof.
Luidens n polisieverklaring het vyfmans
met n onbekende bedrag geld in n onbeken-
de rigting gevlug. Hulle ondersoek n saak
van winkelroof.
Besighede word gemaan om toe te sien
dathulsekerheidskamerastelsels tenalle tye
werk. Dit sal in sulke gevalle die polisie met
die ondersoek help, waarsku konstabel Su-
zan Jantjies, woordvoerder van die Somer-

Petrol price explodes
NIKITA SYLVESTER
AS the clock struck midnight on Tuesday,
fuel prices increasedby 93cper litre to reach
an all-time high of R11,62.
Motorists making use of petrol may now
pay close to R50 more for a tank due to the
staggering hike. Diesel tariffs will increase
by 69c per litre,while paraffinuserswill pay
73c more per litre.
The announcement was made last week
by the Department of Energy. It was re-
cordedthatonlytwofuelpricedecreaseshad
taken place this year, with yesterdays hike
being the biggest one yet.
Michael Bagraim, president of the Cape
Chamber of Commerce, says the radical
increasehascomeat theworstpossible time.
Small businesses are already on their
knees. Theywill have to swallow
this increase, which may cause
some businesses to go into liqui-
dation,he says, adding that sup-
pliers will also be pushing up
their prices, forcing consumers
to borrow yet more.
Many have already bor-
rowedtothelimit.Peoplearenot
going to survive.
Mark Williams, investment advisor for
Synovation Financial Services, says the
hike will wear away the consumers pocket
both directly and indirectly, as it feeds into
higher prices across the board. The latest
fuel price hike is also likely to dampen any
prospects of another cut in interest rates. In-
debted SouthAfricans remain vulnerable to
the interest rate cycle, says Williams, add-
ing that there is also a risk of further rand
weakness, which would result in even high-
er fuel prices assuming oil prices stay at
current levels.
AlfredCarelse, chairpersonof theHelder-
berg Taxi Forum, says commuters will be
subjected to a tariff increase later this year
due the petrol price. Carelse says a forum
meeting will be held on 19 September to dis-
cuss the amount and date of the increase.
Motorists were eager to save as much as possible
before the petrol price sky rocketed by 93c per litre.

N2
Two dead in chain of accidents
ILLANA FRANTZ
TWO people lost their lives in a series of
freak accidents on the N2 near Macassar on
Sunday.
In the first accident a pedestrian, Lizbeth
Bock (60), was knocked over by a silver Tata
Indica. The incident happened at 17:45 near
the Shell garage, in the direction of Cape
Town. Police and medical personnel were
called, but Bock was declared dead at the
scene. The driver of the Tata was arrested
and charged with culpable homicide and
driving under the influence. He appeared in
court on Tuesday, and his case was post-
poned to 11September forabail application.
As a result of the accident, a bottleneck
was created and police had to control the
flow of traffic. While the officers were cor-
doning off the road, a white taxi pulled over
to get a closer look at the accident scene. Po-
lice officers noticed that the driver was
drunk, and arrested him immediately. He
was placed in one of the police vans parked
on the side of the road.
But the days carnage was not yet done:
an Isuzu bakkie, disregarding the traffic
rules and refusing to stop, collided with the
police van in which the taxi driver was sit-
ting, says Captain FC van Wyk, provincial
police spokesperson. Yanga Nkomwu (30)
from Kayamandi died on impact.
Martin Dwetya (40) was arrested in con-
nection with the accident and charged with
culpable homicide and driving under the in-
fluenceofalcohol.HeappearedintheSomer-
set West Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
His casewas postponed for seven days for
a bail application.

Community spirit: A recent downpour caused quite a stir in Somerset West when
traffic was momentarily halted after a tall tree came crashing down in Oldenland
Road. A resident immediately notified authorities on Friday 31August of the situation,
and local watch groups swung into action. Neighbourhood Watch (NW) patrollers
made their way there to assist Hugh Roe of Helderberg Crime Watch (HCW), who
was already on the scene. The team directed the traffic while a chainsawwas brought

Help fight cancer
A STRAND mother has seized the oppor-
tunity to host a special fundraiser in honour
of her son, who lost his battle to cancer.
Laura Boonzaaier explains that in 2003
her year-old son, Hendrio, died of brain
cancer. After years of pain and suffering,
Laura decided to plan a family-orientated
event called the Kidz with Cancer Festival.
The event will take place at the Charles
MorkelStadiumonSaturday15September.
The day will include fun family activities,
food stalls, a potijiekos competition, auc-
tions,andliveperformancesbyartistssuch
asAkkedis, 3D, Anton le Roux, PublicHoli-
day andmore. The funds raised at the festi-
val will be donated to the childrens on-
cology ward at Tygerberg Hospital.
With this festival I hope to raise aware-
ness and funds to decorate and make the
ward child-friendly and liveable as if they
were in their own homes, says Laura.
In addition to a goal of decorating the
ward for the kids, I have a goal to raise
enough money to renovate the washing
room, outpatient ward and playroom.
She says she has beenwanting to do this
for eight years, and finally has the will-
power to make it happen. Cancer touches
so many people in our community; I know
far too many people whose lives have been
touched by cancer.
Ifyoucant joinus,pleaseconsidermak-
ingadonation tosupportourefforts.Either
way you will make a real difference in the
lives of these children, and in the lives of
the people who love them.
The festival gets going at 09:00. Tickets
cost R40 per adult and R10 per child, and
can be bought at the gate or beforehand

HB pharmacist cures queues
DELIAH BRINKHUIS
HIS decisions may not have been too popu-
larwith his staff at first, but pharmacist Al-
bert Hazekamps determi-
nation to transform a
flawedsystemmadeadiffer-
ence andwon him the title
of the Western Cape phar-
macist of the year.
The 71-year-old Somerset
West resident was awarded
thecovetedtitlebytheWest-
ern Cape Department of
Health for his contribution
towards improving service
at two state facilities the
Elsies River Community
Health Centre and Eerste-
riverHospital,wherehehas
worked for the last few
years.
Hazekamp, a familiar face in retail phar-
macy in the Helderberg, was nominated by
his colleagues. It is good to see the differ-
ence that one makes, he says.
He recalls the long queues he was faced
with when he started at the Elsies River
centre in 2006. Most days the queues were
long, and the standardwaiting time formedi-
cation was four hours.
Within three months
hed made a difference at
that pharmacy. He did this
by, among others, starting
his work day at 06:00 (two
hours earlier) to make up
scripts, removing dispen-
sary shutters so clients
could see the staff, and en-
suring that a pharmacist
wasondutyat all timesand
the pharmacy never closed
during operating hours.
He says this would have
been impossible without
the support of his staff.
Soonthenewsystemwasrunningsmooth-
lyandmoresensibly, enablingquickerdis-
pensing times and no more long queues by
midday. With up to 400 scripts filled daily,
some days were easier than others.
When I was tired and had to take a 15-
minute break I would, instead of making an
announcement over the microphone, go to
the patients and tell them that I would be on
a break so they did not wonder why no one
was helping them, he says.
He describes his pharmacy as a loud place
where people laugh a lot. Happy staff result
in happy patients.
Some days hewould even go into thewait-
ing area to sing and dance to make the pa-
tients wait more bearable.
Even so, he says his award came as a sur-
prise to him.
Imknownforbeingcheekyand fornever
being at a loss for words, but when the an-
nouncement was made, for the first timemy
colleagues saw me dumbstruck.
Hazekamp is both elated and humbled by
theaward.Iamverychuffed.Yes, Idid those
things, but this is also embarrassing as it is
my job, and what I love to do.
Asked about retirement, he remarks, I
would probably get bored at home, and hope
that retirement does not come soon. While
I can stand on my feet I will work.
Albert Hazekamp is the
Western Capes pharmacist
of the year.

8 VIEWS | MENINGS
Soetrivier far
from sweet
THE Soetrivier, which flows
through the Rusthof area of the
Strand, is so badly polluted it is
making residents in the area ill.
More than 100 pupils, as well as
several teachers from surround-
ing schools, have been laid off
school with stomach complaints.
Residents living closest to the
river have been theworst affected,
and have repeatedly complained
that the smell coming from the
river is nauseating and making
them sick.
DistrictMail has over the years
written numerous articles about
the situation in this area, and has
highlighted the complaints of the
residents and the difficult condi-
tions under which they have to
live.
To date all their complaints
have fallen on deaf ears, and the
residents say that the authorities
have done nothing to address the
situation.
The small river is also com-
pletely overgrown, and littering
along the banks of the river is get-
ting worse.
Isnt is about time something
were done to alleviate this prob-
lem, which has persisted in this
area for so long?
Somerset West police stick to their guns
THERE has been so much nega-
tive reporting regarding the local
SAPSthat I thoughtsomepositive
feedback would be appreciated.
In accordance with the new
FirearmsControlAct Iapplied for
the renewal of three firearm li-
cences at the Designated Fire-
arms Office (DFO) in Somerset
West on 31 October 2006. Safe in-
spection was done in May 2007
and everything was declared in
order. Two years later I made en-
quiries and was informed that
Central Firearms Registry (CFR)
had a backlog and I must be pa-
tient.After twomoreyears Imade
further enquiries and was shown
thatmyapplicationswere under
consideration.
To cut a long story short, CFR
misplacedmycompetencycertifi-
cate, thenmyentire file, and I had
to reapply on 6 June 2012.
A week later the provincial
DFO informedme thatmy certifi-
cate was receiving attention. A
month later I signed the neces-
sarydocumentsandamonthafter
this I received all three licences.
The process took almost six
years. At no time could the delay
be attributed to the local DFO.
The personnel were always
cheerful, helpful and supportive.
Iwas treatedwith respect, consid-
eration and cooperation. In these
timesofviolentprotestsoverpoor
servicedelivery, itwasapleasure
dealing with people prepared to
go the extra mile. Thank you to
Inspector Stoffberg, Chantelle,
Natasha and Leonie.

STRAND
Philip van der Berg, commer-
cial director of MSP responds:
This is the first complaint that
we have received in such regard.
We made contact with the main
contractor, with the instruction to
retain focus on public safety but to
minimise any disruption of traffic
flow in First Street.
The contractor has assured us
thatmost of theheavy construction
in this area is now complete, and
that full closure of this section
should no longer be required (al-
though they will still have to clean
the street surface from time to
time). No mid- or long-term road
closure was done in First Street.
Temporary closure of the section of
First Street adjoining the area of
the development site was done ex-
clusively in the interest of public
safety. This in as far as having to
accommodate the relocation of an
electrical substation by the City of
Cape Town, as well as the use of
certain heavy construction equip-
ment to complete certain civil
works at the rear of the develop-
ment site.
Periodic closures coincidedwith
heavy rains experienced at the end
of August. Given the extreme
weather conditions, the main
building contractor had to close
the main section of road at certain
intervals to clean mud and other
debris fromtheroadsoas to ensure
that the driving surface remained
safe for public use.
The only section of First Street
that has been affected by the inter-
mittent road closure is the very
short section between Rusthof and
Wentzel Street. This section ad-
joins a vacant tract of municipal
land, and there were accordingly
noblockagesofdrivewaysordirect
residential access.
This state-of-the-art modern
shopping centre is being developed
for the benefit and convenience of
the surrounding residential areas.
We wish to provide residents with
the highest level of service at all
times. We accordingly appreciate
the publics comments.
We believe that this retail faci-
lity will add value and much-
needed employment opportunities
for the surrounding community,
andtrust that this convenient facil-
ity will be well supported.
ONE always hears about the neg-
atives of Africa, with people far
more willing to complain rather
than express their appreciation.
Having recently returned to
South Africa from England, we
weredisturbedbyall thenegative
feedback on the local police serv-
ice and quite frankly were con-
cerned that if ever we were the
target of crime we could not ex-
pect much support.
I am happy to report that the
exact opposite was the case when
wewere recently burgled on the
contrary, the service and support
we received were better than any
received in England.
My wife returned home from
picking up the children at school
to a broken garage door and dogs
barking on Monday 13 August.
Scared that the culprits were still
in our house, she phoned the
Strandpolice,who instructedher
to stay outside while they des-
patched officers. She had also
phoned the estate agent who as-
sisted us when we bought the
house, as we dont have many lo-
cal contacts yet and I was away
on business.
Within twominutes of the call,
shewas amazed to see not one but
three police vehicles approach
our house at speed, followed in
minutes by our estate agent. In
the end, we were very fortunate
and had only bicycles stolen from
our garage. However, the experi-
encewasmademuch easier to ac-
cept by not only the brilliant re-
sponse time, but also the efficient
and professional manner in
which the officers dealt with the
case.Withintwohourswehadthe
case number completed, two in-
spectors visiting the house to en-
sure follow-up, and the finger
print team to check for evidence.
In addition, our agent Johan
Botma (Hightide Properties)
made a few phone calls and, be-
fore dark, had the garage door re-
paired by one of his contacts. All
in all a bad experience made so
much better by caring and kind
people who have each gone out of
their way to help us.
All I can say is thank you to
Johan and the members of the
Strand Police and assure them
that I will be their biggest advo-
cate in future.

Robby Johns (drums) and Lee
Nicholls (bass guitar) their di-
verse backgrounds andmusical in-
terests span a wide spectrum.
Originally from Nelspruit,
Mpumalanga, the band formed in
2001 while the members were still
in their teens.
Over the subsequent years, No

encompassing everything from
blues-rock to funk-jazz crossed

McFall Properties turns 7
JAMEY THOMAS
ONSaturday1SeptembertherenownedRose
McFall Properties in Somerset West cele-
brated seven years of business success a
triumph attributed to years of hard work,
dedication, passion and loyalty to clients.
The estate agency was started by former
Seeff estate agent Rose McFall in 2005.
McFall says she took the plunge to start
her very own agency after some motivation
fromMoniqueDamseaux, owner ofMonique
Damseaux Properties.
She put me in her car and drove me to
the current premises where my agency is
based. Right then, I decided to take the bull
by the horns.
McFall, who previously worked in the
citys building industry for 18 years, is now
regarded as a top estate agent who has
claimed success in a very short period of
time.Unlikemanyothers,whostartbuilding
their empire from a tender age, she started
pursuing a career as an estate agent at the
age of 50.
After the idea of entering the industry
came to mind in December 2001, McFall
started her new career as an estate agent for
Seeff Properties inJanuary 2002. Sheworked
there for five years, and discovered her pas-
sion for the industry during this time.
I love what I do, and therefore it never
feels likework. Just so that everyone knows,
I dont plan on retiring for years to come,
she smiles.
Rose McFall Properties has soared from
humble beginnings to an estate agency con-
sistingofninestaffmembers.Theagencyhas,
despite challenging economic times, sold
some of the most expensive properties in the
Helderberg, including the historical 14,6 ha
Tweede Rivier for R25 million. The agency
has also averaged about R20 million per
month in sales over the last three months.
McFall regards partner in sales Noleen
Adkins, a former Seeff colleague who now
works as a Rose McFall estate agent, as her
support structure.
We make a mean team: she takes charge
when Im away, and she is the reason I can
go on holiday every year, she laughs.
Overall, McFall reckons the key to her
business success is the ability to focus on cli-
ents needs. I listen to clients. I aim to give
them what they want not what I want to
sell whether it is my stock or not.
Besides her drive for the industry, McFall
also has a passion for Somerset West and its
people. The good Samaritan has on a number
of occasions provided food and shelter to the
homeless, and has also offered to have the
fences in Main Road repainted, at her cost,
to uphold the impressive reputation of the
historical town.

Its party time for firsttime buyers
FOR those keen to buy their first home, there
couldnt be a better time to take the plunge.
So says Rudi Botha, CEO of BetterBond,
which as SAs biggestmortgage originator as-
sists thousands of buyers a month to obtain
homeloans.Henotesthat theresidentialprop-
erty market has reached a stage that occurs
only very rarely, in which several major fac-
tors are aligned in favour of first-time buyers.
And, he says, this is clearly evident in
BetterBonds latest statistics, which repre-
sent 25%ofall residentialmortgagebondsbe-
ing registered in theDeedsOfficeand include
applications to, and bond grants from, all the
major lending banks in SA.
For a start despite the fact that the aver-
age home price among first-time buyers has
climbedsteadily in thepast fourmonths from
R582 000 to R621 000, and is currently also 5%
higher thanat this time last year homeown-
ership has actually become more affordable,
thankstotheeasingofcreditrestrictionsand,
of course, an interest rate cut.
At the moment, about four out of every 10
home loans approved are 100% loans, and
most of these are going to first-time buyers,
including those in the affordable sector.
In addition, the average percentage de-
posit required by first-time buyerswho dont
manage to secure a 100% loan has declined
from 11,5% of the purchase price to 9%. So
effectively, the average deposit amount for
such buyers has fallen to around R56 000,
compared to R71 000 earlier this year even
though home prices are higher.
Andthis relief isnowcombinedwith lower
home loan interest rates since the Reserve
Bank cut the repo rate by 0,5 percentage
points in July, further increasing afford-
ability levels for first-time buyers.
For example, at the current standard
homeloaninterestrateof8,5%, theminimum
monthly repayment on abondofR621 000 (as-
suming a 100% loan) is R5 389, compared to
R5 587 at an interest rate of 9%.
And lower rates do of course make it
easier for prospective buyers to qualify for
loans in the first place.
Asit is,Bothasays, thesedevelopmentsare
already gaining the attention of prospective
buyers eager to enter the property market.
First-timebuyersaccounted for 42%ofall
bond applications in July, compared to 37%
fourmonths ago, and the percentage of loans
being granted to first-time buyers has at the
same time risen from 35% to 39%.

Survey reveals sellers market emerging
THE latest RE/MAX survey shows that most
homes sold by RE/MAX agents around the
country between 1 January and 30 April saw
aminimaldifferencebetweenaskingandsell-
ing price of 7% to 11%.
The survey also showed that homes priced
between R500 000 and R1 million spent an av-
erage of 84 days on themarket before selling.
Properties in the R1 million to R2 million
range spent anaverageof 105daysbefore sell-
ing, while those with price tags of R2 million
or more spent an average of 136 days.
Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of South-
ern Africa, attributes these findings to less
stock,moredemandandcorrectpricing, indi-
cating the emergence of a change from a
buyersmarket to a sellersmarket. As stock
decreases and demand increases, so buyers
will bemoreprepared topaycloser to theask-
ing price of a property, as long as the asking
prices remain reasonable and market-
related. As stock levels decrease, homes on
the market sell faster.
Goslettsaysthesurveyresultsclearlyindi-
cate that setting the right price will remain
essential. Even the most expensive proper-
ties, priced from R2 million upwards, took
less than 20 weeks to sell, and they only had
a difference between asking and actual sell-
ing price of 11,69%, on average.
The survey results show that properties
priced between R500 000 and R1 million had
an average difference between asking and
sellingpriceofaround7%,while thosepriced
between R1 million and R2 million saw a
9,62% difference on average.
Less than 10% of sellers had an outstand-
ing home loan balance that was higher than
thevalue thepropertywassold for, according
to 84% of respondents. While market condi-
tions may well be changing, distressed prop-
ertieswill still be a reality for the foreseeable
future. Goslett reports that RE/MAX agents
who have beenmarketing distressed proper-
ties have managed to achieve, on average,
91% of asking price, with the properties sell-
ing in an average of 45 days.
Only 20%of sellers between 1 January and
30Aprilwere sellingbecause of affordability.
Almost 30% were selling because they were
moving, with 20% downsizing and a further
25% upgrading.
Goslett says that one of themost detrimen-
tal mistakes that many sellers make is over-
pricing. Often sellers set a higher price for
theirproperty thanwhat theywant toget out,
with the hope that if a buyer were to offer
a lower price, theywould still be able to nego-
tiate close to the price they wanted.
But the property will sit on the market for
longer,hewarns,andprobablysellatalower
price than the seller would have wanted.

Papier appointed as administrator of EAAB
HUMAN Settlements minister Tokyo Sex-
wale has announced the appointment of Tas-
well Papier as administrator to the Estate
Agency Affairs Board (EAAB).
The board has been rocked by scandal in
recenttimesincludingtheWendyMachanik
saga; the acrimonious parting of ways with
former CEO Nomonde Mapetla; the Auction
Alliance debacle; suspension of the company
secretary; reinstatement of those suspended
within fewdays; and the resignationof chair-
person Ina Wilken.
It soon became clear that the EAAB was
dysfunctional, Sexwale said. A meeting
was convened with stakeholders a couple of
weeks ago where I announced my intention
to dissolve the board and appoint in its place
an administrator.
He announced that Papier had been ap-
pointed as administrator with immediate ef-
fect, callingPapierinnovative,andgoal-and
performance-driven.
Hehas a proven track record on corporate
governance issues. He has a vast knowledge
and experience in financial planning, ac-
counting,administrationandmattersof law.
Papier is the former president of the Law
Society in the Cape of Good Hope, and be-
tween 2002 and 2004 held several high-profile
positions, including acting judge of the Cape
TownHighCourt,memberoftheboardofcon-
trol of the Attorneys Fidelity Fund, and re-
ceiver in a Richtersveld land-claim dispute.
Papier will hold his new position for six
months, Sexwale said. He is expected to im-
plement turn-around strategies and meas-
ures to improve good corporate governance
within the board; implement financial sys-
tems for accountability and management;
provide strategic leadership and capability
to the organisation to restore its reputation;
ensuresustainabilityandorganisationaleffi-
ciency; and carry out a strategic business
plan while monitoring its performance.
The administrator assumes a dual role of
providing leadership and strategic manage-
ment to the EAAB and accounting authority.
The administrator will be accountable to
myself as minister, Sexwale said. The ad-
ministrator will prepare and submit per-
formancereportsonprogressachieved in im-
plementing strategies and measures to re-
store stability and corporate governance.
He wished Papier well in his new position.
Wewant to see all basic rules of good govern-
ance followed. The management and staff of
theEAABareexpectedtogiveyoufullcoopera-
tion.Imlookingforcompleteindependenceon
your part.
You are assured of my full support.
