Seeff As long as what most people can remember, Klerksdorp has had a VW and an Audi dealer. Somewhere in the files, the guys at Volkswagen Klerksdorp will be able to find you an invoice for a Beetle sold by Colt Motors way back in 1952.(They were the agents for Volkswagen back then).

A lot has changed since 1952,and now the most significant change in the company ’s history so far has taken place. Klerksdorp Audi and Klerksdorp Volkswagen has spent a combined figure of well over R10 million, and they have erected a building that can be described as a small motor city of it ’s own, right next to the N12 highway in Klerksdorp. State of the art design combines with elegance and style to provide the consumer with more than just buying a car. The building is state of the art, and customer convenience is at a pinnacle. Buying cars these days is getting harder and harder, there are so many different makes and models, with different features extras and offers to choose from. In the end buying a car from a dealer that you know you can rely on, must be the answer. Both Klerksdorp Volkswagen and Klerksdorp Audi have proven over the years that they can deliver. believe I speak for everyone in Klerksdorp, when I say: May Klerksdorp Audi and Klerksdorp Volkswagen go from strength to strength and may your business be an example to us all, of what can be done if one sets your mind to it.

Road traffic accidents on the South African roads and street network, rate amongst the highest in the world. In the order of 10 000 people lose their lives annually while about 40 000 are seriously injured and 110 000 slightly injured in 500 000 accidents. These accidents cost the country in the order of R13,0 billion per annum. Most of these accidents are attributed to road traffic offences that relate to vehicle and driver fitness issues and reckless, negligent and inconsiderate driver behavior.

The Arrive Alive road safety campaign was introduced in order to combat traffic offences and reduce road accidents and, in particular accident leading to fatalities and serious injuries. Some of the contributory factors to these accidents are:

• Speed

• Overtaking on barrier lines

• Drinking and driving

• Un-roadworthy vehicles

• Driver fatigue ant fitness

• Road rage

• Reckless and negligent driving etc.

It is our wish that as motorists and other road users take the road to different holiday destinations, safety be the order of the day and the yardstick with which we will measure our performance on the arrive alive campaign. We want to appeal to all our road users

to drive with the utmost caution and to be considerate at all times. It is important to make the responsibility of safety on our roads, our responsibility as a collective and not the responsibility of a chosen few.

We want to thank all the sponsors who deemed it proper to join hands with the public safety department and all other emergency and law enforcement agencies to help spread the message of safe and responsible road usage. We believe that through their efforts and involvement many lives may be saved. Let us join hands together to ensure

that there is a notable decrease in road accidents.

We wish all our users and the entire KOSH community a safe and pleasant festive season and prosperity in the new year. “ARRIVE ALIVE ”.

3050 ballonne van Pick&Pay, genoeg helium,3050 gewillige kopers en harde werk van die personeel van Hospice en Wilmed Hospitaal se onkologie afdeling en SIEDAAR!!!

R30 500 in die bankrekening van Hospice.‘n Baie nodige Kersgeskenk. Wilmed, Pick&Pay en ‘n klomp ander mense in Klerksdorp het die afgelope maand hard gewerk om Hospice te help om die geld in te samel. Die projek wat aangepak is deur hierdie besighede,was ‘n ballon- loslaat seremonie, wat gepaard gegaan is met ‘n baie sterk simboliese betekenis.Vir sommige mense was dit ‘n manier om hulself vry te maak van dinge wat hulle terug hou in die lewe en vir ander weer ‘n viering van die lewe vandag. Die ballone is vrygelaat voor Pick&Pay Hypermarket op Saterdag 29 November. Hoe dit ook al sy, die geleentheid was ‘n groot sulkses en sonder firmas soos Wilmed en Pick&Pay sou dit net nie moontlik gewees het nie.

The current economic picture of low Inflation and low economic growth strongly supports expectations of further interest rate cuts totalling at least two percentage points by the end of the financial year in February.

The first of these cuts is expected in the second week of December, and will add to the festive cheer for homeowners and home seekers who have already benefited from a five percentage point decline in rates since July. A minimum of one percentage point cut in the repo rate is expected, and if the banks follow suit as usual, this would take the homeloan “base ”rate to 11 percent and lower the minimum monthly repayment to R1032 per R100 000 borrowed.

It would also fuel housing demand, by lowering the household income qualification levels for homeloans. At 11 percent interest, the monthly household income required to qualify for a 20-year R300 000 loan would be R10 320 –significantly less than the current R11 010 and all the more attainable for home seekers expecting a pay increase in January. The latest statistics show that CPIX inflation measured 4,4 percent year-on-year in October –the second consecutive month that the measure has fallen within the 3 to 6 percent target range. Between September and October, CPIX remained unchanged, with a 22c fall in the petrol price more than compensating for a 0.2%rise in the food price index.

The increase in headline CPI slowed down to 1.5 percent (y-o-y) and declined by 0.7 percent %(m-o-m) as the September interest rate cut filtered through to consumer prices. Meanwhile, the latest GDP (gross domestic product) figures also support a further rate cut. Third quarter real GDP rose from a revised quarter-on-quarter annualized rate of 0,5 percent in the second quarter to 1,1 percent in the third quarter –largely on the back of declining interest rates since July. It is believed that this signals the beginning of an upward trend in real GDP growth that is likely to last into 2005 –but will need a helping hand from the Reserve Bank to reach the desired rate of 3 percent or more in the face of a strong Rand and a slow recovery in the global economy. At present, says ABSA, SA ’s biggest mortgage lender, a 1 percentage point interest rate cut is expected in December and a further cut of the same magnitude is expected in February. “If currency strength persists, however, and economic growth fails to accelerate from current levels, the February cut may not necessarily prove to be the bottom of the current interest rate cycle. “What is more, money market instruments have also already started to discount the possibility of a greater than 100 basis point cut in December.”

Dit is nie ongewoon dat verkopers van eiendom in ‘n goeie mark voel dit is onnodig om gebruik te maak van ‘n eiendomsagentskap nie. Sommige verkopers redeneer dat kopers in elk geval op soek is na eiendom en dat hulle self maklik hulle huise van die hand kan sit sonder om die agent se kommisie te betaal.

Dit is ‘n baie kortsigtige wyse om na verkoop van eiendom te kyk, en kan verkopers meer as net geld uit die sak jaag. Die meeste self-verkopers sal addisionele ondersteuning vanaf ‘n prokureur nodig hê –teen hoë koste –om te verseker dat hulle aan die regte kant van die ingewikkelde oordragswet bly.‘n Verkoop wat misluk het, kan lei tot ‘n regsgeding wat ekstra koste en ook tyd kan kos.

Moenie dubbel kommissie betaal nie.

As gevolg van die skaarste aan eiendom, verlaagte rentekoerse en ook die hoë koste van huur-eiendom in Klerksdorp, is daar vinnig besig om ‘n situasie te ontsaan, wat moontlik tot die nadeel van verkopers kan lei.

Agente is op die jag uit vir eiendom, en sommige van die agente dra die belange van die koper op die hart en nie die van die verkoper nie. Verkopers moet dus versigtig wees wanneer hulle onderhandel met veral agente wat nie betrokke is by die agentskap of groep waarby hulle, hul eiendom gelys het nie. Die mees waardevolste diens van eiendoms agente is dat hulle oor die ondervinding beskik om te onderskei tussen “egte ”kopers en mense wat dalk net jou huis wil betree vir ander donker motiewe. Eindomsagente beskik ook oor die kontakte met banke en ander instansies om te verseker dat die koper wel oor die finansies beskik om die eiendom te koop.Kopers wat nie regtig die geld het om te koop nie kan self-verkopers baie onnodige tyd en moeite kos. Self-verkopers van eiendom is ook geneig om sekere gebreke van hulle eie eiendom te verdoesel, wat later tot regsaksie vanaf die niksvermoedende koper kan ly.

In die langduur maak dit sin om ‘n agent te gebruik wat oor tyd bewys het dat hy sy sout werd is, nie net sal hy u eiendom vinnger en meer effektief verkoop nie, maar ook sal u onnodige moeite en verdriet bespaar. Sou u ‘n agent of agentskap, wat nie ‘n mandaat het vir u eiendom toelaat om u eiendom te Verkoop, sal die agentskap wat wel ‘n mandaat het, nogsteeds geregtig wees om kommisie van u te eis.

Verkopers moet dus bedag wees daarop dat hulle slegs handel met agente wat deel is van die agentskap of van die MLS groep,sou hulle eiendom op die MLS-stelsel gelys wees.

Andre Brehem, ‘n voormalige treindrywer en inwoner van Kaapstad het onlangs “Driver Alert ”internasionaal gepatenteer en sal in Februarie volgende jaar sy uitvindsel van stapel stuur.

Om te verseker dat die bestuurder van die voertuig wakker bly is daar n liggie wat op voorafgestelde tye flits, sou die bestuurder nie reageer op die lig nie sal daar ‘n alarm in die voertuig afgaan om hom wakker te maak. As die bestuurder steeds nie reageer nie sal die voertuig se noodligte aan gaan en sal die brandstoftoevoer na die enjin gesny word wat die voertuig tot stilstand sal dwing. Die bestuurder sal dan die voertuig moet verlaat en die stelsel reaktiveer voor hy verder sal kan ry. Brehem het die afgelope drie jaar gewerk om sy produk te vervolmaak, hy het selfs sy huis verkoop om dit te finansier.

Die afwagting vir die lig se flikker en nie die fl ikker van die lig self,is dit wat die bestuurder wakker hou. Die toestel is vervaardig in ‘n ISO 9002 fasiliteit en is met groot sukses in swaar voertuie en familie voertuie getoets. Die toestel dien ook as ‘n teenvoeter vir kapings, as die kaper nie die reaksie wat op die lig se flikker nodig is ken nie, sal die voertuig doodeenvoudig met hom gaan staan. Installasie van die toestel sal R400 kos en daarna sal daar ‘n fooi van R100 per maand betaalbaar wees. Vir nog inligting oor die wonderlike produk besoek

Over the years the community of Klerksdorp has become used to great service and reliable products from the Speedy group of Companies. It is clear that with opening Tiger Wheel & Tyre in Klerksdorp they have the same ideals in mind.

From the location of the business to the wide range of tyres and mag rims supplied, to the finish of the building and attention to detail, nothing has been left out, in order to ensure that your tyre fitting experience is a pleasant one. Good news for consumers is that Tiger Wheel & Tyre are now also able to fill your vehicle ’s tyres with Nitrogen.What this basically means is that your tyres are kept cooler at high speeds, thus extending the live expectance of your tyres. With the high cost of tyres today, this is surely a welcome service.

Congratulations to the Speedy group, may this venture be as successful as what all your other ventures in our city has been.

Peugeot SA has added the 807 MPV Pullman to it ’s range.

The Pullman is priced at R345 900 for which, Peugeot says, you ’ll get a living room on wheels ”with two power-operated sliding doors and seating for up to seven people. Both models have front-wheel drive with power coming from a 113kW /213Nm 2.2-litre petrol engine through a five-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is listed as 196km/h –pretty darn fast for a family MPV –though Peugeot claims 12.9 liters/100km around town and 7.8 liters/100km on the open road. Overall, you should expect around 9.7 liters/100km.

The hydraulic steering assistance –a bit dated as other makers gradually introduce petrol-saving electric power –self-adjusts depending on the vehicle ’s speed …as do the shock-absorbers according to load. The anti-lock brakes use ventilated front and solid rear discs with emergency pressure assistance on call for when you need it most. An electronic stability system is included in the package. Depending on model, the 807 has a driving seat with multiple adjustments, swiveling club seats with individually adjustable armrests and aircraft-style trays and individual rear seats with adjustable backrests. Peugeot ’s patented “Quickfix ” system means the seats can easily be relocated or removed altogether though no matter where you sit you ’ll find your own air-conditioning.

Storage bins are spread throughout the cabin: some are dedicated, cooled or concealed while others have specific capacities and can be moved. Somewhere you ’ll find something in which to store eyewear, loose luggage (under a net), CDs, mobile phones, loose change, garage tickets, drink cans, water bottles, handbags and even laptop computers.
