Ashton facelift on the tableDALEEN FOUCÉ

A bridge 20 metres above the sur-face is part of a proposed faceliftfor the Ashton Main Road.

Interested and affected partieswere invited last week to have theirsay about a proposed amendment tothe environment authorisation forthe upgrade of the Kogmanskloofpass, also known as Trunk Road.The Kogmanskloof upgrades were

approved in February this year andwill see theroadbetweenAshtonandMontagu broadened aswell as anup-gradeof theR60 intersection,generalbeautification of picnic sites andmeasures to prevent flood damage asfar as possible. Construction on the

Kogmanskloof Road is set to start inNovember this year, with an estima-ted duration of two years.Al-Ameen Kafaar, spokesperson

for the Western Cape Department ofTransport and Public Works, saysthe Ashton upgrades were not in-cluded in the original proposals, buthe could not provide information asto why the new amendments wereproposedat the timeofgoing toprint.The proposed upgrade of the Ash-

tonMainRoadincludesthewideningof the road to two lanes in each direc-tion. Furthermore, a new bridge isproposed that will have two 3,4 mwide lanes in each direction as wellas a 2,4mwide sidewalk on each sidefor pedestrians.The newbridgewill be built along-

side the current bridge so that trafficflow is not disrupted. Once the newbridge is finished, the current bridgewill be demolished and the newbridgemoved intoplace toalignwiththe road.According to Fuad Fredericks

from CCA Environmental, this pro-cedure is being considered because

there are no alternative routes avail-able. “It will allow continued two-way traffic flow during the entireconstruction phase. Otherwise stopand go conditions would be requiredfor the full two-year construction pe-riod.”Nassos Martallas, CEO of Ashton

Langeberg Foods, welcomed the pro-

posed upgrades. “We will supportany measures that will improvetransportinthearea.”Martallassaidthat Ashton Langeberg foods willsupport the upgrade in terms of pro-perty that needs to be expropriated.Theproject isalsosupportedbythe

Langeberg Municipality.The original Ashton Bridge was

completed in the 1930s and widenedin 1950. The bridge was submergedby water during the 2003 flood.Interested and affected parties

have until 7 June to submit com-ments to Eloise Costandius fromCCA Environmental ateloise@ccaenvironmental.co.za onthe proposed amendments to the en-vironmental authorisation of theKogmanskloof project.

stellend dat salarisse jaar-

Wynbedryf verwagrekordoes vanjaarNá ’n laat en stadige be-

gin het die 2013-sei-soen die Suid-Afrikaansewynbedryf se verwagtingeoortref en gaan hy diegrootste wyndruifoes ooitverwerk.

Volgens ’n Vinpro-verslagis die oes later as gewoonliken oor ’n kort tydperk inge-neem. ’n Koue, natwinter – idealeweerstoestande ty-dens die blom- en set-periode – en gema-tigde weer geduren-de parstyd regdeurdie verskillendewynbougebiede, hetbygedra tot die grootte en ge-halte van vanjaar se oes.

“Dit was ook ’n besondergesonde jaar, met effektiewesiekte- en plaagbeheer deurprodusente, waar nodig,”lees die verslag.

Met die uitsondering vanRobertson word groter oestein al die wyndistrikte ver-wag, met rekordoeste in Oli-fantsrivier, Breedekloof enWorcester.

Ná twee droë en, gevolglikklein oesjare, het Malmesbu-ryhierdie jaar ’nheelwatgro-ter oes gerealiseer en in dieOranjerivier is dit duidelik

dat wingerde nou herstel vandie vloedskade in 2011.

Die totale oes is 4,6% hoëras die rekordoes in 2008 enhoëgehaltewyneworduitdie2013-oesjaar verwag.

Robertson se 2013 oes is 236102 ton, 2% kleiner as die re-kordoes in 2012.

Hennie Visser, VinProkonsultantvirdieRobertson-

streek, meen egter dit issteeds ’n uitstekende oes.

Hy sê die groot oes in dieRobertson-streek kan toege-skryf word aan voldoende be-sproeiingswater, veral waarprodusente afhanklik is vanbergwater, wat baie trosse engoeie set tot gevolggehadhet.

“Daar is ook steeds ’ndaad-werklike poging van produ-sente om produksies te ver-hoog omdatwinsgewendheidonder druk is, en die nettohektare onder wyndruiweneem steeds toe.”

Visser sê produksies wis-sel baie tussen blokke, maar

Pinotage-opbrengste het baietoegeneem en Chardonnayen Sauvignon Blanc het ookgroterproduksiesopgelewer.

“Dit sal onthou word as ’nlaat oesjaar met baie uitda-gings, bogemiddelde kwali-teit en goeie produksies.”

Van middel Mei tot middelJunie 2012 het baie goeiekouemetbogemiddelde reën-

val voorgekom. Reën-val van Mei tot Au-gustus was 51% hoëras die langtermynge-middelde, wat voor-deligwasvir die groeivan dekgewasse.

Visser meen alhoe-wel produksies hoog

was, vertoon die rooiwyne sekleur goed en lyk die gehaltebelowend. Van die witwynestaan Chardonnay se gehaltetans uit.

“Diegrootoesengelyktydi-ge rypwording van vroeë enlaat kultivars soos Shiraz,Ruby Cabernet en CabernetSauvignon het tot groot drukop kelderspasie gelei. Daarwasgelukkigminreëndae endus nie onderbrekings ty-dens pars nie.”

Volgens wynmakers is dieverhaling normaal en niebuitengewoon hoog of laagnie.
