T

wee woonstelle en n plaaslike kroeg

het indie slag geblyn tweeafsonder-

like verwoestende brande.

n Koraan is een van die min items wat nie

vlam gevat het nie toe n drieslaapkamer-

woonstel in Paarl-Oos byna tot op die grond

afgebrand het.

Die brand het vroeg Saterdagmiddag in die

boonste woonstel van die Moerat-gebou in

Barbarossastraat,Paarl-Oosuitgebreektoe n

kortsluiting vermoedelik ontstaan het.

VolgensMoegamatTalipwashyensyvrou,

Shakira, by diewerk toe die branduitgebreek

het. Hul kinders was saam met die huishulp

by die huis toe die plafon in die sitkamer na

bewering aan die brand geraak het. Die huis-

hulp het met die kinders uit die woonstel na

veiligheid gevlug.

Die vlamme het vinnig deur die woonstel

versprei en erge skade aangerig voordat dit

na hul buurvrou, Vivian Adams, se woonstel

gespring het. Haar sitkamer is in die brand

verwoes. Niemand is beseer nie.

Talip, wat onder in die straat bande ver-

koop, s hy het in n stadium op in die pad

gekyk en gesien daar trek rook. Toe hy nader

stap het hy besef dit moet hul woonstel wees.

Hy het op gehardloop na die woonstel en wou

dadelikweetwaarsykinders is.Hywasverlig

om te hoor hulle is veilig by vriende se huis

daar naby.

Talip s n die brand geblus is, het brand-

weermanne eers seker gemaak dit is veilig

voordat hulle vir die eerste keer in die woon-

stel toegelaat is. Hulle het alles geneem wat

gelyk het of dit gered kan word en in n le

gebou langsaan gaan stoor.

n Koraan wat in een van die voorste slaap-

kamers gebre was, is een vanmin items wat

sonder enige skade uit die verwoestende

brand gekom het.

Dit is nogal n wonderwerk, het Talip ge-

s.

Hy s hulle bly tans by familie.

Marwaan Moerat, n mede-eienaar van die

gebou, s hulle wag nog om van die verseke-

ring te hoor, maar meen die woonstelle sal

moontlik gesloop moet word.

Daar is nog twee woonstelle en n kafee op

die terrein,maarvolgensMoerathethullenie

veel skade gely nie.

In n tweede voorval vroegMaandagoggend

het n brand ook by Bernies Pub in Hoof-

straat, Paarl uitgebreek.

Rudi van der Merwe, wat die kroeg bedryf,

s as hymoet skat beloop die skadenaastenby

R3 miljoen. Hy s alles binne-in die kroeg is

tot niet. Daar is niks oor nie.

Die oorsaak van die brand word nog onder-

soek.

jong seuns geis.

AlmarieduToit (34) isverledeWoens-

dag op Le Bac Estates, tussen Paarl en

Wellington, dood nadat sy vermoedelik

Dit word beweer dat Du Toit met die

symet haar kop tussen die hyser en die

muur geval het.

Sy het op die toneel gesterf.

Almarie se skoonpa, Drakenstein-

munisipaliteit raadslid Lourens du

Toit, het vroer aan n dagblad ges dit

is onseker hoe die ongeluk gebeur het,

maar dat sy skoondogter waarskynlik

in die hysbak gegly het.

Die hyserword glo gebruik omgoede-

Almarie was nmede-eienaar van die

gewilde troue- en konferensiesentrum

by Le Bac en verantwoordelik vir ak-

kommodasie en voedselbestuur.

Haar skoonpa het haar beskryf as ie-

Repay no one evil for evil, but

give thought to do what is hon-

ourable- Rom. 12:17

At last there is some action in the traffic

department. For years taxis have been

jumping the red traffic light in Jan van

Riebeeck Drive into Lady Grey Street, or

cutting in from the left-hand lane. This

hasbeenagreat irritation for theaverage

motorist. But of late, a diligent man in

blue has been taking these offenders to

task. Just this week when a taxi jumped

the red traffic light, speeding up Lady

Grey Street, the traffic officer followed

suit and issued him with a hefty fine.

Hopefully this is the beginning of aggres-

sive law enforcement in Paarl.

Dit beteken dat die DBVs rondlo-

enigheid het egter later weens

wanbetaling ontstaan en die

DBVs het gedreig om hul skut-

rondloperhonde en -katte geskut word en

n Woordvoerder van die munisipaliteit,

kragtens toepaslike wetgewing uitgevoer.

Hierdie reling geld tans net vir honde en

katte, en as enige ander diere betrokke is,

moet spesiale relings getref word.

Die burgemeester, Gesie vanDeventer, het

persoonlik aandag geskenk aan die saak en

het by ondertekening die skrywer Margaret

Mead aangehaal: Never doubt that a small

group of thoughtful, committed

citizens can change the world.

Sy het haar dank uitspreek

Balaclava gang suspect arrested In Franschhoek

Aman, believed to be amember of the contro-

versial Balaclava-gang was arrested shortly

after the gang set its target on another

Franschhoek farm.

Paul Adriano (37), allegedly one of the four

members of the Balaclava-gang responsible

for multiple robberies in Stellenbosch, Groot

Drakenstein and more recently in Fransch-

hoek, is behind bars after being arrested

shortly after another farm robbery in the ar-

ea. The incident occurred early Thursday

morning (5 August) on the farm Two Rivers.

According to ConstMarizeMentoor, police

spokesperson, the four men entered the cot-

tage of 51-year-old woman living on the farm.

They tied her up and robbed her of two cell-

phones. It is alleged that the suspects gained

entry by forcing open the front door.

Thewomanmanaged to release herself and

drove to the main house for help.

A search involving different police units

and police helicopterswas launched to appre-

hend the suspects. Adriano was spotted and

arrested, but the other three suspects are still

on the run.

This incident came shortly after a robbery

last Monday morning at 01:00 on the farm

Avondsrust where the same modus operandi

was used. The suspects fled with laptops and

jewellery.More than four robberies allegedly

involving the same gang have been reported

this past month in the area.

Nverlede jaar seongelukkigheidoordiekoop-

Verskeie inwonershetnavraeaanPaarlPost

maand op hul munisipale rekening verskyn

het. Hulle kon nie kop of stert uitmaak waar-

voor di bedrag geld is nie.

By navraag is vasgestel dat die bedrag wat

ooreenstemmend met n kode verskyn, die

maandelikse diensfooi vir die instandhou-

ding van die koopkragbetalingstelsel is.

dat die vastekostetarief maandeliks op hul

Die veranderinge het vanjaar op 1 Julie

Volgens Mettler is die veranderinge aan-

gebring weens die klagtes wat hulle in die

boekjaar 2012/2013 van die publiek ontvang

het oor die vastekosteheffing per dag wat

van hul koopkragaankope verhaal word.

Die raad het toe besluit dat die vastekoste-

Springbokke:Watnou teenNS?

FRANS LE ROUX

N die Springbokke se onlangse

sukses het menige Suid-Afrika-

ners die goeie strukture in die

Bok-kamp lof toegeswaai. Sedert

hul skitter-oorwinning Saterdag

in Brisbane teenAustrali, is rug-

bykennersoptimistiesrondomdie

toekoms en moontlike 2015 W-

reldbeker-glorie.

Dithet diemanne ingroen-en-goud

40 lang jare geneem om weer koning

op Brisbane te kraai. Dit was die eer-

ste keer in sewe probeerslae dat die

Bokke n volhoubare 80 minute aan-

mekaar kon knoop omhulAussie-vy-

ande by Suncorp-stadium te ver-

slaan.

Oud-Gimmie en Bok-kaptein Jean

de Villiers is nog n rede waarom

Paarliete kan trotswees op die huidi-

ge verwikkelinge in die Bok-kamp.

Met die oog hierop het Paarl Post

n paar rugby-afrigters en -kenners

gevra waaraan hulle die Springbok-

ke se sukses toeskryf en wat die Bok-

ke eerskomende Saterdagoggend

teen Nieu-Seeland gaan maak.

Christoff Ltter is die

suksesvolle o. 19A rug-

byafrigter by Paarl Gim:

Die Bokke se pak het

Australi behoorlik seer-

gemaak en verskeie bal-

le is by die afbreekpunt

deur ons losvoorspelers

gesteel. Ek glo die Bok-

ke kan Saterdag wen

met n telling van 25-

16. As die weer saam-

speel, kan die telling

selfs groter wees.

Loffie Eloff is die hoofaf-

rigter by die Boland Ka-

valiers: Die voorspelers

van die Springbokke het

gedomineer, met veral

Francois Louw wat n

doring in die vlees was

van die opponente by

die afbreekpunte. Die

All Blacks gaan egter n

ander span wees n die

Bokke se vertoning die

naweek teen Australi.

FOTO: GALLO IMAGES

Elmo Wolfaardt is Boishaai se

hoofafrigter: Ek dink die Bokke

is beter voorbereid hierdie jaar.

Die span werk nou al n geruime

tyd saam met Heineke. Dit gaan

altyd ongelooflik taai wees in

NS. Ek voel die bokke gaan

hoogs gemotiveerd wees. Dis am-

per soos n mini-finaal. Die span

wat hier wen het n goeie kans

om die toernooi te wen. My hart

s Bokke, maar my kop s NS

met vyf punte voor. Eindtelling

2419 vir NS.

Colin Anderson is mede-

afrigter van Young Peo-

ples-rugbyspan: Ek

dink die grootste rede

vir die Bokke se sukses

was hul verdediging

asook hul ingesteldheid

by die losgemaal. NS

gaan egter veel taaier

opposisie wees, maar ek

dink ons behoort die

knoop deur te haak. Die

telling sal Saterdag 23-

17 vir die Bokke wees.

Municipalityplanning for

excellent servicedelivery

The Drakenstein Munici-

pality recently estab-

lished an Integrated De-

velopmentPlan (IDP)Rep-

resentative Forum to play

an advisory and oversight

role in the IDP process.

This forum of 23 members

represents six sectors in the

Drakenstein area namely:

women, children, youth and

early childhood develop-

ment; vulnerable groups;

arts, crafts, sports and cul-

ture; religion; media, busi-

ness and agriculture; envi-

ronmental groups.

The IDP Representative

Forum had a meeting last

week to discuss the forth-

coming IDP Review Road

Shows. At this meeting the

forum was informed about

the process and the content

thereof. Forum members al-

so used the opportunity to

raise theirconcernsandgive

input on the process for the

IDP Review Road Shows.

One of the strategic priori-

ties of the municipality is to

ensure good governance,

throughacontinuousassess-

ment of activities to ensure

that proper standards are

maintained. Through those

assessments, new ideas and

innovations are considered

to improve service delivery.

As part of Drakenstein

Municipalitys approach to

involve everyone in improv-

ing service delivery, they

will have IDP road shows

from 16 September to 2 Octo-

ber in all 31 wards. The pro-

gramme for meetings is

available on www.draken

stein.gov.za, all Drakenstein

libraries and buildings.

During these public meet-

ings residents will be in-

formed about the five-year

major projects and sector re-

lated projects.Ward council-

lors will also give feedback

on the ward development

plans for the previous finan-

cial year. Community mem-

berswill have theopportuni-

ty to discuss and give input

on ward plans. Together

withtheresidentsofDraken-

stein, they will also look at

possible new or revised pri-

orities. This means that the

priorities that residents set

at the previous IDP public

meetings, couldbediscussed

and, if necessary, changed.

The IDP Review Road

Shows will be concluded

with a meeting with sector

departments as a platform

for interaction between the

municipality and sector de-

partments active in the mu-

nicipal area to ensure that

when they do planning they

take into account the IDP of

the municipality.

PaarlRugby:watnou?

FRANS LE ROUX

Die Paarl Rugbyklub vier van-

jaarsy130stebestaansjaarenon-

danks hierdie merkwaardige

mylpaal is alles nie pluis teen die

oewer van die Bergrivier nie.

Vanjaar moes getroue ondersteu-

nersenbelangstellendes toekykhoe

die klub rekordloesings ontvang en

sukkel met spelergetalle, asook

hoor van algemene verwarring

rondom die toestand van die klub.

Die klub l algeheel laaste (10de)

in sy Premier A-liga-afdeling. Die

eerste span het net vier van sy 17

wedstryde gewen.

Op 5 September is n algemene

vergaderingoordieklubse toekoms

vir alle belangstellendes gehou. So-

wat 15 spelers en 25 oudlede het die

aand bygewoon.

N vele e-posse, briewe, SMSe en

navrae het Paarl Post met n paar

mense gaan praat om vas te stel wat

presies by Paarl Rugby aangaan.

n Onlangse oudkaptein van die

klub vertel hoe hy dinge ervaar het

tydens sy seisoen vir die eerste

span.

My tydperk as kaptein was frus-

trerendgewees.Eenvoudigeversoe-

ke wat die span virmy bring, is van

die hand gewys, of net eenvoudig

geen aandag aan gegee nie. Om spe-

lers gemotiveerd te hou om te kom

oefen, was veral n groot kopseer.

Daar was geen kommunikasie tus-

sen die spelers en die bestuur nie.

Nel Fourie is al die afgelope vier

jaar die eerstespan-afrigter en nie-

mandkansyvermoas rugbyspeler

bevraagtekennie.Fouriehet60Cur-

riebeker-wedstryde vir die Leeus

gespeel, en 34 vir die destydse Cats

(Super 12). Kennis en passie vir die

spel straal uit hom.

In my eerste jaar het ons tweede

geindig in die liga terwyl ons indie

tweede en derde jaar derde plek be-

haal het. Die grootste probleem is

die werwing van spelers en ons fi-

nansile situasie.

Ons sal moet borge kry om die

spelers beter geld te betaal. Onge-

lukkig speel vandag semanne vir n

paar rand. Daar moet mense aange-

stelwordomwerwingtedoenenook

vir spelers nmoontlike toekoms by

die klub te bied.

Mark vanEyssen is die uittreden-

de voorsitter van

die klub. Die

grootste pro-

bleem by ons klub is n kombinasie

tussen spelergetalle en finansile

druk, s hy.

Die meeste spelers se eerste

vraag wanneer hulle n klub vir die

eerstekeernader, is: Watbetaal jul-

le per wedstryd?

VolgensVanEyssenhetdieverga-

dering op 5 September baie gehelp.

Breedvoerige gesprekke is ge-

voermet die oog op die toekoms van

die klub.Die forumhet in n baie po-

sitiewe lig geskied en kreatiewe

voorstelle het op die tafel beland

waarmeedienuwebestuurkanwoe-

ker. Ons sal ook, indien nodig, be-

sluit oor die samesmelting met n

ander klub as die tyd reg is daar-

voor.

Hy sou graag n paar veranderin-

gewou sien vir die klub se toekoms.

Spelers kan hul volle potensiaal

hier bereik. Ek doen n vriendelike

beroep op alle skoolverlaters wat

hul rugby geniet om hulle by ons

aan te sluit, asook aan ons oudspe-

lers en die gemeenskap ommeer be-

trokke te raak.

Paarl Tuinbouklub beoog om n

Middeleeuse labirint op te rig by

De Poort-historiese dorp in Sui-

der-Paarl.

Daar word tans beplan om n

11-baan-labirintopterigenonge-

veer 2 700 klippe word hiervoor

benodig.

n Labirint moet egter nie met

n doolhof verwar word nie.

nDoolhofhet nnegatieweuit-

werkingopdiebreinenpsigeom-

dat dit in blinde doodlope eindig

en die brein irriteer. Jy verloor

dus kontak met jouself. Dit drei-

neer jou energie wat weer tot ag-

gressie lei.

Die labirint se vorm lyk soos

die brein. Dit balanseer die lin-

ker- en regterbrein met mekaar

watmeer energie vrystel. Die ge-

volg is makliker probleemoplos-

sing, kreatiewe energie, positie-

we denke, asook groter kalmte

oor die lewe en jouself. Innerlike

vrede word hierdeur gewek.

Die stadige deurstap van n la-

birint lei tot n algehele gevoel

van kalmte. Dit verlig depressie,

laat die bloeddruk daal en verbe-

ter gesondheid. Dit is oor en oor

Who is responsible for strayanimals?

The SPCA and Drakenstein Municipality have eventually buried the

hatchet after years of quarrelling over pound fees.

Both Paarl andWellington SPCA have formany years carried the bur-

den of managing the pound for the municipality. Eventually attitudes

hardened over late and outstanding payments owed to the SPCA.

However, an agreement has nowbeen reached between the two parties

and the SPCA will continue with their service to the municipality.

But is this going to resolve the endless number of stray and neglected

animals in the Drakenstein area?

For years the municipality has turned a blind eye to the dilemma of

uncontrolled breeding and themany neglected dogs and cats in the area.

There are, however, bylaws in place to address the problem of stray

animals. Households are officially allowed only two dogs per property,

and bitches must be sterilised. Dogs must be secured inside a property.

Previously, dog owners were required to obtain an annual licence from

the municipality for their pets, which funded the dog control activities

of the municipality.

But, as in the case of many other worrisome issues, this practice is

no longer in place.

Andsotheresponsibilityofthisdilemmaiscarriedbyasmallcharitable

organisation which is funded mostly from donations from the public, in

addition to the contractual payments.

The problem of stray animals is still not a priority of the local authori-

ties. At the end of the day, it is the animals that suffer.

Ek en u weet duisende onkundi-

gesbekleeposte in staats- en semi-

staatsinstellings. So bewus soos

ons is van hul onvermo tot pro-

duktiewe werkverrigting, nt so

selfvoldaan is diesulkes.

Soortgelyke toestand heers by

baie rekenaar- en selfooneie-

naars. Hulle besef nie hul onkun-

de oor die sogenaamde veilige ge-

bruik daarvan nie. Kundigheid

omdit totdiemaksimumvoordeel

veel. Hoekom anders so baie slag-

offers van identiteit-diefstal van

Ek is nie diewagter op diemure

Chasingbeggarsawaycreates evenbiggerproblems

People in glass houses must be

very careful when they are throw-

ing stones. What Dr De Villiers

raises is exactly what the apart-

heidsystemtriedtocreateandthat

is to enrich somepeople andon the

otherhandtocreatepoverty tooth-

ers (of other colour). By enforcing

thebylawsherefers to inhis letter,

thiswill not take the socioeconom-

ic inequalities away, hence the

poor will always remain with us.

DrDeVilliers, it is the capitalist

system that created the global eco-

nomic crisis and it is the same sys-

tem that cannot rectify thebrutali-

ty of capitalism. Let us unpack the

job losses out there and indeed

veryclose tous, likePioneerFoods

and Tiger Brands, the continua-

tion of using casuals at retail

stores and labour brokers who are

turning the working class into

slaves.

Who is making the sacrifices

when the system is in trouble?Not

the bosses or the owners of the

meansof production, because they

are only worried about profits,

while the working class is losing

jobs in their thousands by the day.

Sowhen referring to thebeggars

in front of businesses just think

about it the system that creates

your wealth is also the same sys-

tem that creates beggars and job

losses.

The observation that there is an

influx of homeless people in Paarl

is correct, and I want to assume

(maybe wrongly) that your busi-

ness and your home is in Paarl

West. Now sir, the situation in

Paarl East is even worse, compar-

ing towhat youmentioned in your

letter.Yousee, thegapbetween the

haves and the havenots is just

getting wider. Just smell the cof-

fee. We are free in this (democrat-

ic) country, but not economically

freebecause the so-calledwhites

are still controlling the economy

with a few BEE partners.

The bad news is that we will see

moreof thesebeggarsas theecono-

mists refer to it as a meltdown of

the economy, which will make

more people homeless and jobless,

henceitwill forcepeopletobecome

beggars.

The funny side of it all is when

everything is functioning well in

the system, you struggle to see the

benefits for theworking class. The

bosses are quiet about the sudden

profits they are making.

So sir, its not as simple as we

think.Bygiving themfood, clothes

or money, we are not promoting

begging. In fact, by chasing them

away, you create more problems.

My simple request to you is to

become involved in the lives of the

poorestof thepoorandseehowyou

can improve the lives of the less

fortunate. Remember poverty has

no colour, as this is a class battle

between theworking class and the

bourgeoisie.

Taxi-tariewenognieverhoog

Santaco (South African National

Taxi Council) het onlangs aange-

kondig dat die taxipryse gaan ver-

hoog word weens verhoogde inset

kostes.

Die aankondiging is met ge-

mengdegevoelensonderdieopera-

teurs en drywers aanvaar. Hoewel

die drie unies, naamlik Hugenote,

United Taxi Association (Uta) en

Paarl Huurmotors Vereniging le-

de van Santaco is, beteken dit nie

dat die pryse outomaties verhoog

sal word nie. Die huidige voorge-

stelde nuwe pryse is as volg:

) Stasie: van R7 na R8

) Dorp: van R8 na R9

) Huis: van R20 na R30

Ons is bewus daarvan dat lede

van Paarl en Uta die publiek n ge-

ruime tyd al R30 huistoe vra. Tans

is dit lede van Hugenote wat son-

der instemming van die ander

tweeuniesdieprysereedsverhoog

het. Die besluit is nie amptelik

deur bestuur geneem nie. Wat die

bestuurmoet opweeg is of dit haal-

baar is om nou pryse te verhoog.

Die publiek moet kennis neem dat

tariewe al in sekere bussies opge-

plakisenaldrieunies ngesament-

like verklaring sal uitreik oor

wanneer tariewe verhoog sal

word. Verhogings kan net ingestel

word n ander struikelblokke be-

spreek is soos roetes wat wettig

deuropenbarevervoerraadgeallo-

keer aan operateurs is. n Voor-

beeld daarvan is die Amstelhof/

New York-roete wat volgens die

vervoerraad strek uit Klein Dra-

kensteinweg, links in Lloydstraat,

regs inConradstraat tot byMount-

view-woonstelle en regs in Klein

Drakensteinweg. Alle huidige ver-

hogings is onwettig voor die drie

unies nie n amptelike verklaring

uitgereik het nie.

) Ek as jong mens van 19 wil weet hoe mense

die onverantwoordelike gedrinkery van mense

wat eindig in ongelukke kan blameer op die

munisipaliteit? Dit maak mos nie sin nie. Vat

verantwoordelikheid vir jou probleme!

) Eienaar van blou Tazz CN 1772..: n rooi

) Die mense wat so kla oor oorstromings en

maak dit self reg ons noem dit eienaarstrots!

is ou mense.

) Need stepladder to get on and off trains at

Wellington station. Now theres an accident in

the waiting.

)Maak asseblief gebruik van vullisdromme en

nie die strate nie, veral in Kleindrakensteinweg.

Geen wonder ons is nie as dorp van die jaar

Minder as 60 km/h veroorsaak dat normaal

en kanse vat. Sodoende is u wat so uiters stadig

ry die oorsaak van vele ongelukke. Dit is reeds

erg met al die ryskole se leerlinge in spitstyd.

Ek stel voor die instrukteurs bring hulle in indien

hul bestuursvermo reeds gevorderd is. Ek ver

Dit ruk elke week aan my hart as ek dit sien.

Mens gaan uit jou huis uit in die oggend en

weet nie of jy gaan terugkeer nie. Mense, soos

hulle s, speed kills. Ry versigtig.

) Dis lekker om in n huis te bly wat aan die

munisipaliteit behoort. Jy betaal nie jou rates

nie. Duisende rande agterstallig en dit word net

afgeskryf. Jy terroriseer jou bure, wetstoepas

sing doen niks, jy suip, baklei, rook dagga en

ing your body as well as increasing your me-

tabolism long-term.

than hours of slog-

ging on the tread-

mill.

overboard, result-

ing in over-training

and burnout. Eat

makingbetterdecisionsmoreoftenandstart-

ing a balanced eating and exercise pro-

gramme early on.

) Planning awedding canbe such a stress-

ful time research shows that training out-

doors reduces stress levels and is generally

mood enhancing.

Surgical procedures as

In the USA alone there is an intense growth

in day surgical cases, a trend also repeated

in Australia and the UK. A reasons for this

trend is that doctors and patients prefer less

complex surgery and this is supported by the

advancements in medical

technology where previous

radical operations can now

be done with endoscopic

and laparoscopic equip-

ment and technology as

well as laser surgery.

Medical aids are also re-

alising that smaller opera-

tions fit in the day hospital

environment and are en-

couraging doctors and pa-

tients to make use of day

care facilities.

Prices soar at

wine auction

An unprecedented 91% increase in

price per litre paid at the 2013 Neder-

burg Auction, held at Nederburg in

Paarl at the week-end, is excellent

news for South African producers,

and an affirmation that the events in-

creased focus on quality is paying off.

Organisers of South Africas pre-

mier fine wine auction say the in-

crease comes on top of a further over-

all income result of R4,38 million

more than double the amount expect-

ed due to reduced volumes onauction.

We are delighted that the lowering

of volumes, brought about by a tough

selection panel, paid off, said auction

manager Dalene Steyn.

The rand per litre is up and thats

a direct result of our tighter auction

offering. This is not isolated, as the in-

crease is consistent from lot to lot,

with a 91,8% premium attained on re-

serve prices.

What was clearly apparent from

the Nederburg Auction this year is

that the buyers were far more in-

formed, knewexactlywhat theywant-

ed to buy and were prepared to com-

petitively bid on lots.

The result was a consistently high

top average selling price, with prices

for individual cases in lots rarely var-

ying by more than a few hundred

rands. This was a clear affirmation of

consistent quality across the board.

Steyn further added that the tighter

selection this year resulted in a much

stronger line-up.Since thiswasacom-

pletely blind tasting, quality, andonly

quality, determined inclusion in the

auction line-up.

If a wine made it to the auction, it

was worthy of the auction seal of ap-

proval.However, not all of the smaller

producers attained the prices they de-

served, which could be attributed to

a lack of self-promotion.

Francois Rautenbach, buyer for the

Singita Game Reserve, commented

that the solution is twofold: Be visi-

ble, and prepare by putting aside

something special that offers a genu-

ine sense of exclusivity.

Keynote speaker Joe Roberts rein-

forced this statement, when he high-

lighted the fact that producers need to

tell and sell a story.

Regarding wine categories, the av-

eragepriceper litreachievedthisyear

was R354,64, compared to R184,78 in

2012.

Highlights included the highest

price of R22 000 paid by Next Interna-

tional of Nigeria for three 750 ml bot-

tles of Zonnebloem Cabernet 1973.

Other standout prices achieved in-

cluded R17 000 paid for a single case

of6x750 mlbottlesof theMonisCollec-

tors Port (Double Stamp Collection)

1948, R8 500 paid for one case (6 x

750 ml)of theKanonkopCabernetSau-

vignon 1997, and R7 000 paid for one

case (6 x 750 ml) of the De Krans Vin-

tage Reserve Port 1993.

inwine sales toAfrica, accounting for

28,7% (R1 249 200) of the total auction

turnover.

In terms of international sales,

which contributed 8,3% (R360 600) of

total sales, the biggest contribution

came from the United Arab Emirates,

accounting for R219 150.
