TEXT ASHOULD AIRBNB* BE REGULATED IN SA?

Picture this: you’re going on a holiday for a month, so you decide to rent your house out on Airbnb – you make a few extra bucks while you’re away and a family from Sweden has the chance to live in a beautiful South African home for an unbeatable price. You’re ‘ubering’ ** out your home when it suits you, and while you’re in Italy, you live in a local family’s villa, with the same perks. It’s win-win-win, right? Welcome to the sharing economy – the world of collaborative consumption where you don’t have to own something to use or experience it. Your friends are doing the same; some are even investing in properties to rent out exclusively on Airbnb because short-term rentals on the platform are so lucrative. But there’s a flipside: the hotel industry feels Airbnb is threatening their market share. Because Airbnb hosts aren’t being held to the same set of rules or paying the same taxes, it tips the scales in their favour. At the Tourism Indaba in Durban last year, Fedhasa chief executive Tshifhiwa Tshivhengwa made this point: ‘We aren’t concerned about competition if we’re all playing on an even field. What concerns us are new industry players who are listed on Airbnb who don’t follow any regulations. Some are not even registered as businesses.’ This issue also caused a stir when houses were being rented out for film shoots, says Beverley Schäfer, a member of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament and chairperson of the standing committee on Economic Opportunities, Tourism & Agriculture. ‘Suddenly neighbours were saying: “How come you’re earning R50 000 a day? You should be a formal institution – you’re doing corporate business; you should be paying corporate tax.’” Then there’s the effect Airbnb is having on the housing rental market – especially in Cape Town, where inner-city rental prices have spiked over the past few years. The perception is that Airbnb is contributing to the shortage of affordable rentals because homeowners prefer to lease their properties on a short-term basis (at a higher price) rather than at a set price for long-term tenants. According to records released by credit bureau Tenant Profile Network (TPN) last year, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the Mother City is about R7 000 a month, almost double what it was in 2010. This was also the year that hosts in SA first started listing their properties on Airbnb. The most recent data, however, seems to contradict this, as the average number of nights that Airbnb listings are rented out per year is a mere 16, suggesting that homes on Airbnb wouldn’t be available for long-term rentals anyway. ‘I remember years ago, before 2011, when tuk-tuks caused such a stir,’ Schäfer says. ‘Government wasn’t ready. We saw it as this monster coming in to disrupt an organised

system. But we’ve come a long way from tuk-tuks to where we are with Uber today. Politicians have to be open-minded, and we have to look at what is happening in the world. Disruptors like Airbnb create an opportunity for more people to be part of a formal economy.

SECTION B: SUMMARYQUESTION 2

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the following passage and then write a summary according to instructions printed below.

THE LOST ART OF LISTENINGYou are telling a story and that one person keeps interrupting – either with advice, or a counter-argument to what you are saying, or to tell their own story. Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, phrased it perfectly. He said, “Most of us don’t listen with the intent to understand. We listen with the intent to reply.”

Radio host Celeste Headlee in a TED talk outlined some general tips to have a better conversation.

Be in the moment and do not multitask. You should not be thinking about the argument you had with your boss, or about what you are going to have for dinner. Don’t be half in it and half out of it.

If you want to state your opinion without any opportunity for response or argument or pushback or growth, write a blog because in conversation you should not preach. Also, don’t assume you know better. Enter every conversation assuming that you have something to learn, which sometimes means setting aside your personal opinions.

Ask the right questions. Start your questions with who, what, when, where, why or how. You are therefore letting them describe the situation. They are after-all the ones who know.

When things pop into your mind, let them go. This is a common mistake interviewers make – they are so busy thinking about their next question that they are not paying attention to what the person is saying. You should therefore go with the flow of the conversation instead of planning ahead.

How often have you listened to someone speak about something you know nothing about and just nodded along politely, too embarrassed to ask what the hell they were on about? If you don’t know what something means then confess ignorance and ask. Also, don’t pretend to be an expert in something you know little about.

If someone tells you a story you relate to, your instinct might be to jump in and tell them about the time something similar happened to you. Fight the instinct. It is not about you. It is never the same – people’s experiences are unique.

When you are trying to make a point it is natural to repeat yourself to emphasise an argument. Don’t do it. It is condescending and boring.

No one cares whether the funny incident you are about to tell them happened in August 2011 or September 2012. Those details are irrelevant. What the listeners care about is you; so forget the details.

Just listen. This seems obvious doesn’t it? But it is still the thing people struggle with the most. I cannot tell you how many important people have said that listening is perhaps the most, the number one most important skill that you could develop. So why do we find it so hard? Number one, we’d rather talk. When I am talking I am in control. I don’t have to hear anything g I am not interested in. I am the centre of attention. But there’s another obstacle: we get distracted. The key is just to take an interest in other people.

[Adapted from “The Lost Art of Listening by Liesl Robertson fairlady April 2018]”
