Die klere aanhul lyf was al besittings wat hulleoorgehad het. Soos die brand vandie een struktuur na die ander ver-sprei het, het inwoners hul besit-tingsnabuite gedraomtevoorkomdat dit ook in die brand verwoesword.Ander inwoners van Jamestown

hetookkomhandbysit omdie slag-offers te help om hul besittings teprobeer red.’n Hartseer Beverley Skippers

Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit sebrandweerdiens het hulle onmid-dellikgereageer toehulle ’noproepontvang het.“Met inagneming van die spits-

verkeer op die pad, het ons redelik

vinnig die brand bereik.”Smith het gesê die normale uit-

dagings by informele nederset-tings, soos ontoeganklikheid, ge-brek aan brandpaaie, die digtheidvan strukture en gebrek aanbrandkrane, het hulle begroet enhet sonder twyfel ’n nadelige im-pakopeffektiewebrandbestrydinggehad.Hy het gesê die betrokkenes

word tydelik gehuisves by die Ja-mestown klubhuis terwyl same-sprekings aan die gang is.

Te min jongmense isentrepreneursDaar is die laaste paar jaarbaie oor entrepreneurskapge-praat en geskryf. Tog is dit ’nboodskap wat baie stadig in-slagvindbymense.Mensever-ander nie maklik hul denkevan “waar kan ek ’n werkkry?”, na “watterwerkkan ekvir myself skep?” nie.

Volgens ’n artikel in Entrepre-neur is slegs 3,6 persent van jong-mense onder die ouderdom van dertig jaarbetrokke in hul eie besighede.Baie jongmense wat pas matriek geskryf

het, kondalknognie ’nwerkkrynie ofweetnog nie wat hulle wil doen nie. Daarom ’npaar entrepreneurskapswenke vir jong-mense.Die moeilikste is om jou eerste R10 wins

temaak deur jou eie eerlike werkskepping.Daarna herhaal jy die resep. Die beste tydom te begin, is terwyl jy jonk is. Baie geves-tigde entrepreneurs wens hulle het hul be-sighede vroeër begin. Hoe gouer jy jou doelbegin nastreef, hoe beter.Verder dink ons altyd jy het baie geld no-

dig om ’n besigheid te begin. Meer geld isvoordelig wanneer jy begin, maar as jy ie-

mand se motor vir hom was virdertig rand, het jy al ’n eerstetree gegee om jou eie geld te ver-dien. Onthou, mense is nie suk-sesvol omdat hulle baie geld ont-vang of geërf het nie, maar eer-der oor wat hulle doen met hulgawes en talente. Gebruik jounetot jou eie voordeel.Ek lees van ’nmanwat as jong

man begin het om vir menserommel weg te ry. Later het hy

iemandontmoetwat die rommel byhombe-gin koop het. Hy maak toe ekstra die gelduit dieselfde rommel. Na twintig jaar washy ’n gevestigde sakeman. Sag. 4:10 sê:“Moenie die dag van klein dingetjies (’nklein begin) gering ag nie.”Laastens is dit nodig om vas te byt en aan

te houmetwat jy doen.Moenie sommer touopgooi nie. ’n Besigheidword oor tyd gebouen nie oornag nie. Sorg ook dat jy aanhouleer. Lees soveel as moontlik oor besigheiden wat suksesvolle sakepersone doen, inkoerante, tydskrifte, boeke, die internet,ens. Onthou, jy kan vir jouself werk, ... ASJY WIL.

swim event at MatiesIn what can be regarded as a major scoopforStellenboschswimming, the2015SouthAfricanSwimmingGrandPrixwill beheldin Stellenbosch from 13 to 15 February.“We are delighted with the announce-

ment by Swimming South Africa (SSA)that this eventwill beheld inStellenbosch.It is the first international swimmingevent to be held in the new Coetzenburg50 m swimming pool. Maties swimmerswill be able to interact with their swim-ming heroes, which should provide addi-tional motivation and encourage new tal-ent to join the sport,”said Karin Hugo,sport scientist and coach of Maties Swim-ming.Hugo said the Maties Swimming Club

feels privileged to be hosting the event.“Bringing swimming to a smaller com-

munity like Stellenbosch improves focuson the sport and at the same time will em-phasise the world class facilities we haveto offer to the national and internationalmarkets.“At this stage, we cannot confirm the

participation of top swimmers but it ismost likely that swimming stars like Chadle Clos, Karin Prinsloo and Myles Brownwill be in action.“Fromour ownMaties club ourOlympic

swimmer Trudi Maree and club mates

CaitlinKat, LiamFourie and Sebastian Si-menic are likely to line up in the variouscompetitions,” Hugo explained.According to a statement by SSA, South

African top level swimmers are not pro-videdwithenoughaccess to tough interna-tional competition.As part of a long-term participant devel-

opment programme for 2016 and 2020, SSAhas conceptualised the introduction of aSouth African Swimming Grand Prix toaddress the scenario of more high levelcompetition for locally based swimmers.The model for the series is to present anumber of two-day events, each to be host-ed by a different SSA Affiliate.Although the primary focus is for South

African Athletes, international athleteswould be able to compete in the series.Thiswould also allow formore SouthAf-

rican swimmers to experience tough rac-ing conditions,whichwill help their reachtheir full potential.The secondGrand Prix swimming event

will be held at the Kings Park swimmingpool in Durban from 20 to 22 February.Both events will be held according to FI-NA (International Swimming Federation)technical rules and is are open competi-tions in both the men’s and women’s divi-sions.

Top Matie and Olympian swimmer Trudi Maree will be one of the Matie Swimming Club’s participantsin the Grand Prix swimming series, of which one event will be held in Stellenbosch in February.

’n Eerste, eie feeskoerantvir die Woordfees!Vir die eerste keer in dieWoordfees se bestaan,sal die fees in 2015 ’n eie feeskoerant hê.“Dit is regtig vir ons ’n groot en trotse gebeur-

tenis. Die gebrek aan ’n eie feeskoerantwas nogaltyd ’n seer gemis bydieWoordfees, veral gege-we die bronne in ons midde: die DepartementJoernalistiek aan die US, Die Burger, Eikestad-nuus en die baie skrywers, joernaliste en krea-tiewes so digby ons,” sê Saartjie Botha, direk-teur van Woordfees 2015. “Dit is ook ’n grootvoorreg om vir Jacolette Kloppers, tans dosentin joernalistiek by die Noordwes Universiteit,as eerste redakteur te hê. Ek weet van niemandwat haar vermoëns en integriteit in twyfel treknie!’Hannelie Cronjé, ’n ou hand as dit by feeskoe-

rante kom, sal die rol van uitgewer vervul. Syis ’n bekende indie bedryfmet baie jare se diensby Die Burger. Cronjé, wat tans in Reitz woon,is ook die uitgewer van Krit, KKNK-feesblad.Botha sê hoewel die koerant aan die fees be-

hoort, is die totale redaksionele onafhanklik-heid gewaarborg. “Regverdige kritiek is gesondendie feeshet dit nodigomtegroei en te ontwik-

Muratie’s new pink bubblyMuratie has released itsmaiden Rosé Cap Classique,the Lady Alice 2012, in re-sponse to countless requestsforapinkbubbly fromwom-en visiting theMuratie tast-ing room

The grapes of this bubblywere handpicked at the end ofJanuary 2012, at between 19and 20°C, and whole-bunchpressed. Only free-run juicewas used and settled for oneday at 8°C after which it wasinoculated and fermented forabout two weeks at 14–16°C. Itisablendof72%PinotNoirand28% Chardonnay and spent 26months on the lees before dé-gorgement.

Layers and layers of flavourcharacterise this classically-styled crisp dry MCC. The pro-nounced aromas of lemons,limes, almond blossom andtoasted cereal are echoed onthe palate where the frothy,persistent bubbles dance onyour tongue as the flavoursmove through more citrus,toasted buttered brioche and adistinctively salty edge, all ofit wrapped up in rich buttercream. Vibrant acidity addszest to each mouthful of round-edfruitandthefinishislongandlingering,end-ing with a final tangy twist.

It’s a wine for celebrations and commisera-tions, for drinking on its own or pairing withfood (try oysters or Gentleman’s Relish ontoast) and is certain to turn any occasion intosomething memorable and special.

Muratie Lady Alice Brut Rosé 2012 retails na-tionally for about R160.

Private institutes boost educationPrivate higher education is becoming thestudyrouteofchoiceforanincreasingnumberof young South Africans, in line with interna-tional trends.

Although in the past private education attertiary level was often pursued mostly in in-stances where space at a public universitycould not be secured, or for courses of studyother than degrees, that is no longer the case.

“We have seen a definite increase in applica-tions from prospective students who elect togo the private route, partly because of the indi-vidual attention and smaller class sizes of-fered by many accredited institutions, as wellas unique course offerings. Additionally, be-cause of private institutions’ focus on work-readiness and post-qualification assistance intermsofplacement, thereputationofthesepla-ces of learning have grown significantly in re-cent years,” says Dr Felicity Coughlan, Direct-or of the Independent Institute of Education.

Coughlan saysthere has also been amarked drop in thepreviously stubborn– but false – percep-tion about compara-tive standards be-tween public and pri-vate institutions.

“The public has be-come more aware ofthe fact that all regis-teredinstitutions,re-gardless of sector,are required to meetthe stringent HigherEducation QualityCouncil accredita-tion requirements,as well as the equallystringent and oner-ous registration re-quirementsof theDe-partment of HigherEducation andTraining,” she says.

“The recent focuson the constrainedadmissions in thepublic higher educa-tion sector has gener-ated much debate

aboutalternatives forstudents. It isabsolutelycorrect that the FET sector is one that is oftenoverlooked by school leavers, and equally truethat within the higher education sector, quali-fications other than degrees are insufficientlyconsidered.

“Absent from the debate, however, has beenrecognition of the fast growing – in size andreputation – private higher education sector.As with private schooling, and as in many de-veloping economies throughout the world, theprivate higher education sector in South Afri-ca provides exciting further study options forprospective students, and dramatically in-creases the scope of access.”

Coughlan says that the experience at all ofthe campuses of The Independent Institute ofEducation and many other private providers,is that students have come to understand thevalue offered in the private sector and activelyseek the smaller campuses, flexible moderncurricula, innovative teaching and learning,models of student support and student life andfocus on the individual that can characteriseprivate higher education campuses.

She notes that, by its nature, private highereducation will in some instances be compara-tively more expensive than public higher edu-cation, as the Government has not moved inthe same direction as other developing coun-tries – such as Botswana – to fund the sectorto make its offering more widely accessible.

However, it would clearly be a fallacy to be-lieve that quality is measured by the extentto which the taxpayer funds education, shesays, and a direct fee comparison does not takeintoaccount theothervaluepropositionssuchas student support and high success rates dur-ing and after study. The suitability of the envi-ronment for particular students is not deter-mined by who paid to build it, she says.

“Many public institutions in SA are leadersin the field of research and others focus onquality teaching or are excellent universitiesof technology. However, that does not equateto them being the right environment for allstudents and all courses.

“To make the right decision about where,what and how to study, prospective studentsmuststartresearchingandreceiving informa-tion about all their options, in a context whichdoesnotcontinuetopandertohistoricmiscon-ceptions,” she says.

Stellenbosch’s Kleinhans triumphsin Attakwas MTBTeam RECM’s Ariane Klein-hans from Stellenboschopened her 2015 account witha win at the 121 km FairviewAttakwas Extreme this week-end, arguably the toughestone-dayMTBrace inSouthAf-rica.

Starting at a pace a bit slowerthanusual,Kleinhans foundher-self almost 5 minutes behind atthe first technical assistancepoint, after which she started toclaw back time of the leading la-dies, Jennie Stenerhag and Rob-yn de Groot.Stenerhag was unfortunate to

puncture while in the lead, andhadtorunthe last fewkilometresinto the second technicalpoint tochange her wheel. Teammate DeGroot, and chasing Kleinhans, passed Stener-hag to move into first and second on the road,with just 50 seconds separating them at the85 km mark.Kleinhans caught De Groot and the pair

were togetherwith 30 km to go, but Kleinhanscontinued to edge ahead and finished almost8 minutes ahead of De Groot at the finish inGroot Brak.“It’s really important to start the season

with a win, it’s a good indicationof your form after all the Decem-ber miles and it’s a big weight offmy shoulders to get another At-takwas win!” commented Klein-hans.Specialized’s Christoph Sauser

won themen’s event in awinningtime of 4:51:59 with Stefan Sahmand Gert Heyns joining him onthe winners’ podium. There wasno clear effort for a new record of4:47:46 and not even close to theR100 000 incentive time of a win-ning time of under 4:30.RESULTSWOMEN1. Ariane Kleinhans (Team

Bok Women’s Sevens teamgears up for world seriesThe Springbok Women’s Sevensthis week stepped up their prepa-rations for the World RugbyWomen’s Sevens World Series inBrazil on 7 and 8 February.

Coach Renfred Dazel rallied SAunder-20 fullback Kirsten Conradand Bok Women’s lock NolusindisoBooi to train with the squad with aneye on boosting their depth early inthe season.The team assembled at their base

in Stellenbosch on 5 January follow-ing their festive season break.South Africa will face England,

CanadaandRussia in thepool stagesof the tournament.The Brazil leg will mark the sec-

ond tournament on theWorld Seriescircuit.The women Blitzbokke will be de-

termined to start the year on a high

note as the top four sides on the logtable at the end of the season willqualify for the 2016 Rio OlympicGames.Dazel said the players’ fitness lev-

els and the tempo of their trainingsessions were impressive and hehoped theywould be able to transferthat formonto the field inSaoPaulo.“The team has made good strides

since assembling. Our training ses-sions have been solid, the team is atight-knit unit, and the players aredetermined to do well, so the build-ing blocks are in place.“Thewomenhavealsohadthe lux-

ury of working with former Spring-bokSevensplayerPaulDelport,whohas introduced a few fresh ideas.”After goingdownagainstBrazil in

the bowl final of the season’s open-ing Dubai event in December, Dazelsaid his teamwouldmentally be bet-

ter prepared for the Sao Paulo tour-nament.“We took several lessonsout of the

Dubai tournament so I have nodoubt we will be better prepared forBrazil,” said Dazel.“That said, we are aware that we

face a tough drawwith England, Ca-nada and Russia in our pool, but theadvantage of that is that it will giveus an opportunity to test ourselvesagainst other quality teams.“We have been working hard at

training and the players knowwhatto expect in Brazil, so our focus willbe to continue putting in the hardyards on the training field andhope-fully the results will follow.”The main injury concern in the

camp is utility back Sinazo Nobelewho is nursing a shoulder injury,but Dazel will make a call on heravailability next week.
