Capturing the Heart & Soul of the Bay
MUNICIPALITY FINANCIALLY ONE OF HEALTHIEST IN COUNTRY
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014
The Mossel Bay Municipality is financially one of the healthiest in South Africa according to a report issued by the National Treasury last week.
According to the report on the state of local government finances and financial management as at 30 June 2013, Mossel Bay shared the honour of being the financially healthiest municipality out of the 278 municipalities in the country with Swartland (Malmesbury) and the KwaDukuza municipality in KwaZulu-Natal.
The report states that there is not a single measure that can be used to assess the financial health of a municipality. The financial health of the municipalities was therefore measured using eight key measures, namely cash coverage, cash balances, over- or underspending of original budgets, underspending on original capital budgets, levels of growth in consumer debtors, debtors as a percentage of own revenue, creditors as a percentage of cash and investments and reliance on national and provincial transfers.
It furthermore states that 95 municipalities are in financial distress and that 37 municipalities are on the borderline of financial distress.
The report also refers to the audit outcomes of municipalities, noting that just nine out the 278 municipalities achieved clean audits for the year ended 30 June 2012. Mossel Bay is included in the nine, and although the national figures for the year to 30 June 2013 are not known yet, Mossel Bay also achieved a clean audit for the latter year.
In her year-end message in the Municipality’s December newsletter, the Executive Mayor, Alderlady Marie Ferreira, commended the Municipality for its sustained financial discipline as well good financial management. She also thanked ratepayers and purchasers of municipal services for having, with few exceptions, met their financial commitments towards the Municipality.
She said no Municipality can provide services properly without the funds it needs to do so and that Mossel Bay Municipality was privileged to have such clients.
GREAT BRAK GRABADOO SURPRISES AGAIN!
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014
GEORGE (January 2014) – What a day 31 December 2013 was! Scarlett Thomas wrote in Going out “People make events into stories. Stories give events meaning.” On 31 December 2013 the more than 1000 participants in the 11th annual Great Brak Grabadoo made this a story never to forget! People from all over South Africa took part in the Grabadoo, the biggest outdoor family event of the Garden Route holiday season. It was a family fun event which challenged brave mountain bikers with breathtaking routes through the Cape Pine forests, but also gave families the chance to enjoy a scenic walk or run.
With every event there are hard working people behind the scenes who ensure that the participants enjoy each moment in safe surroundings. The organisers of the Grabadoo are grateful to say that the 2013 Grabadoo was completed without any injuries or accidents. Thank you to Mossel Bay Municipality’s Traffic Department and PAWK Traffic Department for keeping the roads well-organized and safe.
Community members of Greenhaven in Great Brak River, Blanco in George and Stranddienste helped greatly in assisting participants, acting as marshals and guaranteeing a fun-filled family event. Every little detail was painstakingly attended to…and just to make sure all participants felt at home, fresh fruit was distributed along the route at the water points. Participants were also treated to thousands of lifestyle magazines from RNA distributors and some products from Nativa.
More than half the participants registered online or the day before the event. The bulk of enquiries were channelled through Peperboom Restaurant in Great Brak River and Johannes Bischoff of the Shell Garage in Mossel Bay. The main sponsors of the event were Powerade, Cape Pine (allowing free access to their forest roads) and Interface by Goji PR & Events.
Organising every Grabadoo takes an enormous team effort with the main goal being that participants enjoy it so much that they return the next year! This was confirmed by Fred Lingenfelder, Eden MTB Commissioner, who congratulated the organisers of the Grabadoo on another sensational Grabadoo. According to him the relaxed atmosphere and fun characteristics contribute to the success story of Grabadoo.
The next Great Brak Grabadoo will take place on 31 December 2014. Happy trails, stay safe…and we’ll see you there! •
Pilot training boosts tourism for Mossel Bay
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014
The recently established training base of an international aviation group – and the arrival and commissioning of Africa’s most advanced helicopter instrument flight simulator – have given a major boost to Mossel Bay’s aviation tourism sector.
“With a committed aero club and a well maintained airfield that boasts a paved, 1,100 metre runway, aviation has been a small but important niche for tourism here for many years now,” said Mossel Bay Tourism’s CEO, Marcia Holm.
“The Mossel Bay Aero Club – and companies like Skydive Mossel Bay (which offers sports and tandem skydiving), Air Show and Events (which offers charters and professionally organised air events), and Route 62 (which offers aircraft maintenance) – have been active at the airfield and in the tourism space for some time, and they’ve helped to position the town – and in fact the entire region – as a desirable flying destination.
“But Mossel Bay really came into its own when Starlite Aviation opened its International Training Academy here in June 2011.”
Starlite Aviation’s Mossel Bay base manager Ryan O’Malley said that the company offers private and commercial pilot’s licence training and night, instrument, turbine, and instructor ratings, as well as recurrent training and license renewals for students and pilots from the corporate, security, and private sectors.
“We have up to about fifty contract students, and about six private students in training in Mossel Bay.”
He said that students from contracted clients – like the South African Air Force, the Kenyan Air Force, the Kenyan Army, Kenya’s Police Air Wing, Namibia’s Police Air Wing, Botswana’s Police Air Wing, Botswana’s Department of Tertiary Education, and Botswana’s Defence Force – spend eighteen months or more undergoing intense, full-time training at the base.
The company also provides accommodation for its students.
The recent acquisition of a Swiss-made Elite Evolution S723T helicopter simulator has placed Starlite Aviation in the forefront of helicopter pilot training in South Africa: it means that pilots coming out of Mossel Bay will be fully conversant with operating the complex navigational equipment found in large, twin engined machines that fly routinely in bad weather conditions and at night.
“It’s based on the Eurocopter AS-355 twin engine helicopter (a French machine that’s more commonly known as the ‘Twin Squirrel’), which is used a lot in Europe and the USA,” said Starlite’s chief flying instructor in Mossel Bay, Matt Hayes.
He said that the simulator was chosen because it’s certified in Europe – to the very high standards set down by the European aviation authorities – and because it has a full suite of instruments and high resolution graphics which put students in “a very advanced environment.”
The machine was also certified by South Africa’s CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) before it went into use.
“Compared to other simulators, this one is a quantum leap in realism and sophistication,” which enables Starlite Aviation to produce pilots of the highest calibre, said Mr. Hayes.
“The CAA’s designated flight examiners are consistently impressed by the instrument flying knowledge and ability of our students.”
Starlite Aviation – which was established in South Africa in 1999, but which moved its head office to Ireland in 2008 – runs and manages helicopter services around the world. Besides training, these services include emergency relief work, support for the oil and gas industries, passenger and cargo transport, aircraft maintenance, charters, and sales.
Mr. Hayes said that Starlite chose to establish its training centre in Mossel Bay (“Which we can safely say is the biggest helicopter training centre in South Africa”) because local conditions are almost ideal.
“It’s got a good airfield, the weather is generally stable, and it’s close to George Airport – so the students get experience in flying in controlled airspace.
“But it’s also quiet, so we can get on with the business of training.”
He said that the safe environment of the town was also a consideration.
“It’s not all about flying when the students are here, and we encourage them to see and take part in what Mossel Bay has to offer,” he said.
With plans to upgrade its fleet of helicopters, and to start flight training on fixed-winged aircraft, 2014 is looking very promising for Starlite Aviation’s Mossel Bay base.
AEROBATICS CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE DIAS FESTIVAL
Mossel Bay Aero Club chairman Hans Potgieter said that the club will once again host the Western Cape Aerobatic Competition during this year’s Dias Festival (30 January to 2 February). The club will also present the Standard Bank Dias Festival Airshow – which will be organised and managed by Air Show and Events – during that weekend.
“The aerobatic competition will take place at the airfield, while the Standard Bank Airshow will be presented over Santos Beach – so everyone in Mossel Bay will have the opportunity to see some of the country’s top pilots in action,” he said.
“And the Equestra Harvards – under the leadership of South African flying legend Scully Levin – will return to the Dias Festival this year as one of the highlights of the show.” •
SUBSTASIE VAN R11 MILJOEN AAN MUNISIPALITEIT OORHANDIG
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014
‘n Moderne nuwe 11KV elektriese substasie, wat die Mosselbaaise Munisipaliteit in staat sal stel om elektrisiteitsdienslewering veral oor piektye in die Klein Brakrivier- en Tergnietgebied te verbeter, is op Vrydag, 30 November 2013, amptelik deur die kontrakteur aan die Munisipaliteit oorhandig, en deur die Uitvoerende Burgemeester, Raadsame Marie Ferreira, aangeskakel.
Die projek is in fases oor drie jaar afgehandel teen ‘n totale koste van R11 miljoen. Die projek het die aanlê van oorhoofse kraglyne vanaf Botlierskop na die Kleinbrakrivier/Tergniet-gebied, die lê van ondergrondse kabels na die terrein, die installering van skakeltuig en die oprigting van die nuwe substasie by die Groot Brakrivier-rioolaanleg langs die N2 behels.
Die gebiede is tot dusvêr bedien deur ‘n ouer substasie naby die informele Powertown-nedersetting. Dié substasie het ook ander gebiede benewens die genoemde twee gebiede bedien, en het dus ‘n baie groot werkslading gehad. Die stelsel is gevolglik onder groot druk geplaas tydens piektye, veral tydens die somervakansieseisoen wanneer die talle vakansiehuise vol mense is. Die nuwe substasie sal egter help om dienslewering te stabiliseer, en in die algemeen te verbeter.
Dit word tans beplan om ‘n kraglyn van die nuwe substasie af na Groot Brakrivier aan te lê sodat krag daarheen herlei kan word wanneer dit nodig is.
Aansienlike koste is ook bespaar deurdat die Munisipaliteit twee gebruikte transformators, wat by ‘n ander substasie oorbodig geword het, opgeknap het en in die substasie kon installeer.
Die substasie is deur VE Reticulation van Mosselbaai gebou, terwyl BDE van George die raadgewende ingenieurs was. •
Jeanetta Marais nou voorsitter van Mosselbaai Toerisme
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014
Jeanetta Marais, professionele toerisme rolspeler en uitgewer van ‘n toerismegids is die nuwe voorsitter van die Mosselbaai Toerismeraad.
Marais het in haar bedankingstoespraak by voorbaat die inwoners van Mosselbaai bedank vir die waardevolle werk wat hulle doen deur die somervakansiegangers, wat reeds begin opdaag het, op die dorp te ontvang en tuis te laat voel.
“Ek praat namens al die lede van die raad as ek sê ons waardeer die bydrae wat elkeen daartoe maak om Mosselbaai die land se gewildste vakansiebestemming te maak,” het sy gesê.
Verskeie munisipale raadslede is ook op die raad verteenwoordig. Dit sluit dr Michele Gratz, munisipale bestuurder, Emil Scheepers, raadsheer en Petru Terblanche, raadslid in. Vyf direkteure is deur die lede van Mosselbaai Toerisme verkies
Attie Roos van Diaz Beach Haven (verteenwoordiger selfsorg eenhede), Werner Kok van die ATKV op Hartenbos (hotelle en oorde), Louis Cook van Whale Phin Gastehuis (gastehuise en B&Bs), Fred Orban van die Oystercatcher Trail (aktiwiteite) en Marais (sakesektor)is tydens die maatskappy se algemene jaarvergadering, wat by die Bravo Lounge, Garden Route Casino, plaasgevind het, verkies.
Marais het uitgebreide ondervinding in die toerisme bedryf – dit sluit ervaring in roete-ontwikkeling asook handelsmerkvestiging in.
Sy was van 2003 tot 2007 Mosselbaai Toerisme se hoof uitvoerende beampte (HUB). Gedurende haar termyn het die maatskappy die Wes-Kaapse Toerismeraad toekenning as Toerismekantoor van die Jaar gewen. In 2009 het sy die eienaar van Your Travel Guide, ‘n toerismegids wat jaarliks 150 000 boeke druk en versprei, geword.
“Ek het my loopbaan in die hotelbedryf begin en later die Suid-Afrikaanse Toerisme in Los Angeles verteenwoordig. Hierna het ek vyf jaar vir hulle toerisme in die Noord-Kaap uitgebou, voordat ek 11 jaar as HUB van toerisme by die Breederiviervallei distrikmunisipaliteit gewerk het,” het sy gesê.
Marais is ook sedert 2000 besig met konsultasiewerk en het toerismestrategieë vir Livingstone toerisme in Zambia en vir die Matzikama streek aan die Weskus gedoen. Sy is tans besig met die ontwikkeling van ‘n soortgelyke strategie vir Hessequa Toerisme.
“Mosselbaai Toerisme se eie strategie is in lyn met die stadsraad se Plaaslike Ekonomiese Ontwikkelingsplan, wat ongeveer twee jaar gelede met behulp van groot openbare insette, ontwikkel is. Ek beoog om vanjaar te gebruik om die werk wat reeds begin is, te versterk en uit te brei,” het sy gesê.
“As gevolg van die dorp se unieke geografiese ligging, bied Mosselbaai ‘n buitengewone hoë aantal aantreklikhede en aktiwiteite en die toerismeraad is tot die maatskappy se bemarkingslagspreuk “Doen Dinge,” wat die groot verskeidenheid beklemtoon, verbind.
“Ek hoop ons kan met dié slagspreuk en die strategie daaragter, voortgaan om Mosselbaai as vakansie-, toerisme-, sake- en belegginsbestemming uit te brei,”” het sy bygevoeg.
Mosselbaai toerisme se bedryfshoof, Marcia Holm, het Marais met haar verkiesing gelukgwens.
“Jy is die eerste vrou in die maatskappy se geskiedenis wat tot voorsitter verkies is en ek en die personeel sien daarna uit om saam met jou en die nuwe lede van die toerismeraad te werk om ons gemeenskaplike doelwitte te verwesenlik,” het sy gesê.

Lets get Legal – The new Control of Marketing of Alcohol Beverages Bill
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014
The draft Control of Marketing of Alcohol Beverages Bill is yet to be gazetted for comment although most have already expressed their opinion on the proposed Bill despite very little information being available regarding its scope and impact.
The motivation behind the proposed Bill, according to a statement made by the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Combating Alcohol and Substance (IMC) is because ‘alcohol is reported to rank third on the list of risk factors leading to death and disability while other statistics point to a strong link between alcohol consumption and violent deaths, including those resulting from domestic conflict and suicide. In addition, significant numbers of people arrested for robbery, assault, rape and weapons-related offences are under the influence of alcohol’.
According to the Department of Transport more than half of the country’s road deaths occur as a result of alcohol abuse. Social Development Minister, Bathabile Dlamini, has said that South Africa has some of the highest foetal alcohol syndrome figures in the world.
The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) on the other hand is of the opinion that a ban on the marketing of alcohol will not only have a negative effect on the liquor industry and the economy but will also affect other areas of business such as the advertising, retail and hospitality industries.
Sport and the sponsorship of teams and/or individual players by known alcoholic brands will also be prejudiced by the ban on advertising. The South African Breweries (SAB), official sponsor of the Springboks and SAB Soccer League for example, has been involved in supporting South African sport from as far back as the late 1950s and has through sponsorship contributed to the socio-economic development within local communities by providing opportunities for individuals to improve their lives. Unfortunately, future support by well-known brands like the SAB will depend on the extent of the proposed ban.
Naturally, many questions come to mind, such as for example, will the draft Bill on controlling the marketing of alcohol effectively address the mentioned issues brought on by the misuse of alcohol as suggested by the IMC? Will responsible drinking be promoted by the control of the marketing of alcohol? One may be of the opinion that only controlling the marketing of alcohol in itself is not sufficient to combat alcohol abuse and other related issues but should rather simultaneously promote the responsible use of alcohol and educate consumers on the healthy enjoyment of alcohol. Another possibility could be to consider increasing the minimum age for legally consuming alcohol from 18 to 21 years of age as has been done in the United States of America, India and the United Kingdom as a means to controle the misuse of alcohol by uneducated minors.
Account should also be taken of international research which shows that a ban on alcohol advertising has not by itself had the desired effect of consumers’ consumption declining. In India, for example, the advertising of alcoholic and tobacco products has been banned since 1995. However, India has been identified as the fastest growing alcohol market in the world.
Another possibility is to balance out the ‘positive’ marketing of alcohol with ‘negative/preventative marketing’, emphasizing the possible harm caused by the misuse of alcohol as is currently being done with the advertising and promotion of tobacco with every packet holding a health warning to the consumer. However, the ban placed on tobacco companies to advertise their products in general media and television have necessitated them to utilise other platforms such as social media, mailing databases and the Internet to engage new customers and maintain existing clients.
Clearly there is much to be taken into account before the proposed Control of Marketing of Alcohol Beverages Bill can be implemented in our law. The implications thereof remains to be seen once greater clarity regarding the intentions of the Legislature become known.

Acupuncture – The Different types of Acupuncture
By BylineAdmin on January 17, 2014January 17, 2014
The Different Types of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is commonly thought of as an alternative medical treatment. Though in the United States acupuncture is considered an alternative medicine, it is widely practiced throughout the rest of the world and is an extremely common practice in Chinese medicine.
It has been used in China’s medical system since the 1930s. Most people imagine acupuncture as being stuck with needles in certain key areas to alleviate pain or cure other ailments. It is true that acupuncture involves needles being strategically placed on a person’s body, but there are many varieties of acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
This type of acupuncture not only involves acupuncture with needles, but also the burning of Chinese medicinal herbs. TCM in considered to be a holistic approach to medicine since it treats the whole person; not only the body, but also the mind and the spirit.
It is based on the concept of Qi (or Chi), which is believed to be a force of energy within the body that keeps the functions of the body, including organs, working properly. The Qi travels along the body on pathways called “meridians” with each one representing a certain body system or organ function. It is along these pathways that the acupuncturist places the needles.
The herbs used along with the acupuncture treatment aid in strengthening the body. These herbs can be used to help stop bleeding, fight a cold, and aid in digestion, for just a few examples. Normally, the herbs are used in combinations of three or more and can be taken in pill form, burned and inhaled, or in tinctures placed on the body during treatment.
Classical Acupuncture is the most common thought of type according to westerners. It is also known as the five element acupuncture. This type uses needles alone. It is also referred to as Classical Five Element Acupuncture because it corresponds to the seasons according to the Chinese cycle. This cycle includes:
Summer; Harvest; Fall; Winter; Spring
Not only does Classical Acupuncture correspond to the seasons, but also to the five elements found in nature as they relate to a person’s body. These five elements are:
Fire; Earth; Metal; Water; Wood
Japanese acupuncture is along the same lines as classical acupuncture, but this type uses smaller needles. It also focuses more on precision and efficient techniques that promote accomplishing bigger results using the smallest amount of stimulation possible.
Like the name implies, electro acupuncture combines traditional acupuncture combined with a low electric current running through the needles and is becoming an ever-increasing popular form of acupuncture. Electro acupuncture uses the same meridians as classical acupuncture, but uses a small device that clips onto the needles. The device sends electric pulses that the acupuncturist can adjust depending on the intensity needed.
Unlike Japanese Acupuncture, electro acupuncture does not need to be so precise. The electric pulses stimulate a wider area making it easier to treat the area. Those who are squeamish about needles will prefer electro acupuncture because it can be done with electrodes instead of needles and attain the same results.
Medical acupuncture is very similar to classical acupuncture, but it is performed by a licensed medical doctor. It incorporates the medical science surrounding neuromuscular anatomy. Some also include historically Chinese acupuncture patterns; thereby, creating a hybrid of western and eastern medical knowledge.
Auricular acupuncture is unique. This type treats the entire body, just like other types of acupuncture, but it does so through particular points located in the patient’s ears. The acupuncturist pinpoints certain nerves found in the ear that relate to other parts of the body to help heal or alleviate pain in that particular part.
Auricular acupuncturists have over 200 acupuncture points to know on the outer ear. This is also called the pinna, more commonly known as the cartilage. Western auricular acupuncturists utilize a tool called an electro acupunctoscope, which is an electric tool. This is along the same lines as the electro acupuncture methods. This method is known as Transcutaneous Electical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
The type of acupuncture a person chooses may directly relate to the ailment that person has. Acupuncture treats a variety of maladies ranging from health conditions to pain and even helping to increase blood flow to particular areas of the body.
