Volgens inwoners by ’n ontmoeting tussengemeenskapsledeenverskeie ledevandiepar-lement, isdit ’n ligpunt tussenanderproblemewathullemetdieafgevaardigdesbespreekhet.Die parlementslede, vergesel deur lede van

die DA in die provinsiale wetgewer, het van-deesweek besoek afgelê in Stellenbosch omnainwoners se behoeftes te luister.Afgesien van ’n besoek aan ’n aantal plase

om ’n opname te maak van die behoeftes vanlandelike inwoners, is hulle ook in Raithbyonthaal deur die Precious Senior Burgerklub.Volgens Andricus van der Westhuizen, die

LP vir Stellenbosch in die Nasionale Vergade-ring, is verskeie probleme in die gebied uitge-lig aan die besoekende lede.“DiemensevanRaithbysougraag ’naktiwi-

teitsprogram vir skoolvakansies wou hê watskoolkinders die hele vakansie konstruktiefsal besig hou. Hulle het verder gevra dat diesloot wat oor een van die toegangspaaie naRaithby gegrawe is behoorlik herstel word.“ ’nGrootkwessie indie gebied is die gebrek

aan werksgeleenthede, veral vir skoolverla-ters.”

Die inwonershetookgevraofdaar ’nmoont-likheid bestaan vir ’n polisiekantoor, of tenminste ’n satellietkantoor van een van die be-staande stasies aangesien hulle ver verwyderis van die bestaande kantore. Hulle het ookhulp nodig om hul buurtwag aan die gang tekry.“ ’n Ander groot kwessie vir inwoners is die

onduidelikheid rakende gesondheidsorg.Raithby word bedien deur ’n mobiele kliniekvan Stellenbosch, maar inwoners moet vanHelderberg-hospitaal se dienste gebruikmaak. Hulle het dus duidelikheid van die de-partement van gesondheid aangevra.”Diewetgewer-ledewasbeïndrukmetditwat

hulle in Raithby gesien het.VolgensVanderWesthuizenbeooghulleom

so gou moontlik met die departement van ge-sondheid die probleme rakende gesondheid-sorg aanspreek en sal ook verdermet die poli-sie in gesprek tree rakende die moontlikheidvan ’n satelliet-polisiekantoor vir Raithby.Dievoorsittervandieklub,mej.FlorrieGor-

Matie’s new world record“Squeeze the nectar outof life, and never give in,”is Koenraad Pretorius’sadvice to young sports-men and women.

The 22-year-old Matiestudying BCom, set a newworld record at the WorldTransplant Games thismonth. The Games tookplace during the first weekof August.

Pretorius was born withalpha-1 antitrypsin defi-ciency, a genetic defect thatcauses the hardening andcrumbling of the liver andsometimes the lungs.

During May 1995 he remained in hospital un-til he had a successful transplant operationduring which he received a quarter of a donor’sliver. He was discharged from hospital at theend of September that year and has not lookedback since.

Pretorius set up the record for the 50 m but-terflyinthe18–28agedivision, inatimeof29:03.

The previous recordwas 30:40.

“I’m very proudand honoured to beable to compete inswimming after mytransplant. I am verythankful for all thechancesandopportu-nities I have had,”said Pretorius.

Pretorius is nonewcomer to theWorld TransplantGames podium.When he competed inthe 15–17 age group atthe16thWorldTrans-plant Games 2007 in

Bangkok, Thailand he won two gold medals in50 m freestyle and backstroke, both were jun-ior world records.

In 2009 in Australia, competing in the 18–28age group, Pretorius won bronze for the 100 mbackstroke and silver medals for the 50 m free-style and backstroke.

He also won gold for shot put.

Here Koenraad Pretorius is representing SouthAfrica at the World Transplant Games.

Wine industry to benefitfrom development academyThe Pinotage Youth De-velopment Academy(PYDA) celebrated its of-ficial launch at Solms-Delta winery, Fransch-oek, having opened itsdoors to the first class of25 students on 3 June2013.

The academy is the re-alisation of the dream todevelop talented SouthAfricans for employ-ment in the wine indus-try. It will impact direct-ly on the high levels ofyouth unemployment.

The academy is in Stel-lenbosch and for the firstyear students from Stel-lenbosch, Paarl and Wellington will be joining.

Learning is experiential and combines prac-tical work placements and classroom work.Students recently completed their first workplacementspruningonfarmsinthewinelands.

“These talented students are destined to bea new generation of professionals”, said pro-gramme director, Nikki Munro. “They will behighly regarded at work with the skills andmindset necessary to add value in the winesector. Our success will be measured by their

employment in the wine industry, as well astheir ability to know their talents and applythem for change in South Africa.”

The academy fits in well with the context ofgovernment’s commitment towards job crea-tion in the agricultural sector, as well as itsfocus on further education and training.

The programme is set to roll out to other geo-graphical areas next year. The aim is to expandinto other agricultural sectors and industriesover time.

It’s time tofill in yourtax returnCompleting your individual tax returncanbecumbersomeandoverwhelming,especially if you are uninformed aboutthe basics.“The important part of completing a

tax return is to know exactly what youare allowed to claim as a deduction andthen to understand how you shouldclaim that deduction,” says Yolandi Es-terhuizen, LegislationManager at SageVIP.Esterhuizen provides the following

information as key to remember whencompleting your individual tax return:Tax return logisticsThe filing season commenced on 1 Ju-

ly 2013 and the deadline formanual sub-missions is 27 September 2013 and forelectronic submissions 22 November2013.Provisional taxpayers submitting

electronically should submit on or be-fore 31 January 2014.

) Forwhich period is the tax return?Income earned between 1 March 2012and 28 February 2013.

) Who should submit? No tax returnneeds to be submitted if the remunera-tionwas earned fromone employer andit did not exceed R250 000. However, ifyou earned any other form of incomeor you need to claim deductions suchas travel expenses, a return must becompleted.You can complete the questionnaire

on the SARS website at:www.sars.gov.za. This will help you todetermine if you need to submit a re-turn.

) Where do I start?With eFiling, youcan easily complete it yourself. Guidesare available on the SARSwebsite to as-sist taxpayers with the process. Alter-natively you can contact a registeredtax consultant.

) Submit your return on time: Toavoid any penalties or imprisonment,make sure to submit on time. Do notwait until the last submission day. Pen-alties will be charged if you do not sub-mit on time.

Common mistakes women make with moneyAugust is National Woman’smonth, and taking control of yourfinances is thebestwaytocelebratebeing a woman.

“Woman need to take responsibilityand be financially smart with their fi-nances,” says Eunice Sibiya, head ofConsumer Education at FNB.“Women sometimes don’t have the

confidenceorthinktheydon’thavetheknowledgetobeinvolvedwiththefam-ily finances. This is a bigmistake. Youneed to get involved, understandwhatdebt as well as which policies, insur-ance and savings your family has.”It is also a good idea to understand

what has been put in your name, be

it the house or the car. This will giveyou far more control over and under-standingofwhat ishappeningwith theincome that is coming in.“One important aspect is savings;

you should never rely on someone elseto provide for you later in life. If youare single, start a savings plan as soonas possible, and if you have a partner,understand what savings you have asa family and what you can do to con-tribute.”Don’t feel pressurised to spendWomen are a soft target for impulse

and emotional buying. Before buyinganything, take the time and ask your-self: Do I really need it and why do Iwant it?There isnoneedtospendmon-

ey on yourself every month, maybetreat yourself once every couple ofmonths.Put yourself first“Whether it is your children or your

family,womentendtoputotherpeoplefirst and their finances suffer as a con-sequence. Remember that childrendon’t understand the value of money,unless you are disciplined and teachthem.”The same goes to lending money to

family and friends, rather send themto a financial planner or help them setup a budget and financial goals.Understand your household

spendingStudies show that in sub-Saharan

Africa women’s earnings are morelikely to be spent on basic needs forfamily survival.Menweremore likelyto spend their earnings on alcohol, to-bacco, a music system and other per-sonal items.“Along with your family, find out

what you as a family are spending andthendrawupabudget.Youwill be sur-prised to see how small purchases canadd up andwhere, as a family, you cansave. It is also important to note whatyouarespendingongroceriesandfoodfor the family. Budgeting as a familywill certainly help you realise your fi-nancial goals easier since therewill bea collective effort from all the familymembers.”Eunice Sibiya
