Multi- award winner, Saayman achieved the RE/MAX In- ternational Platinum Award in 2012. “Our office at Waterstone Village is extremely busy,” affirms Saayman. “Our sales for the first four months of 2013 have more than doubled compared with the same period in 2012. RE/MAX is a phenomenal, world-wide suc- cess story. Here in Somerset West, our team of sales associates deliver consistently excep- tional results! The proof of our excellence lies in our sales figures! I have found that keeping in regular contact with my vast database of previous clients hasmade it possible to reach new heights in my real estate career.” “We are also experiencing tremendous growthatWaterstoneVillage,”explainsSaay- man. “Waterstone Village is seven years old and iscurrentlyundergoinga transformation and much-needed expansion to serve the needs of the ever-growing number of stylish and trend-setting customers frequenting this favourite hot spot.” The revamp of Waterstone Village aims to maximise the benefits of the Centre, including the prime location, proven trading record, compre- hensive tenantmix and en- viable shopper market. The Centre’s anchor ten- ants are expanding and an additional 277 parking bays will be available. The parking-bay projectwill be completedendofJune2013. Saayman comments, “We envisage that the growth and improvements underway at Waterstone Village will enhance our prominence as the Helder- berg’s real estate market leaders”. “My principal, Lee Sie- bert, broker/owner of RE/MAX Helderberg, has supported me throughout my career. I findLee tobea trueprofessional, andaprinci- pledprincipal – thebestkind in the industry!” Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of South- ernAfrica, says that, “As recovery inboth the housing market and the economy move from strength to strength, real estate is once again becomingapopularinvestmentstrategy.This is for a good reason. Real estate investment has always provided a long-term vehicle for investors looking for a financially secure in- vestment options that can provide a corner- stone for wealth creation. Property can often ensure a return on investment that other in- vestment strategies simply cannot match, provided that the standard property buying principles are adhered to.” Goslett adds that for those with access to finance, property investment is fairly easy to get into; however, it is advisable for investors to do research and put time into learning about the property market, with the help of a professional real estate practitioner, to help them avoid making unnecessary, and often costly, mistakes. “On average RE/MAX of Southern Africa agents outsell the industry by three to one. RE/MAX of Southern Africa agents also ac- count for approximately 5% of all agents in the country, but are responsible for over 15% of the property sales transactions. We have also experienced rapid expansion with more than 30 new RE/MAX franchises opened in the Southern African region during 2012,” says Goslett. “This brings the RE/MAX of Southern Africa network to over 170 offices and 1 800 agents,” says Goslett.

If marketing and advertising are the keys to achieving the highest possible price in themarket, then where are the best places to advertise your property? There are someverypowerfulmarketing ve- hicles available to ensure you reach the most buyers for your property: . Print advertising For decades print marketing was the most widely used mar- keting method. Buyers would religiously find the local news- papers and pour through the various listings, circling the properties of interest. Does print marketing still work? The short answer is “Yes”. Whilst print marketing has lost its dominance, it is still a very strong advertising medi- um.TheSouthAfricanpublic,to a large extent, still relies on print marketing to source properties that are for sale. Asprintis fairlycostlyincomparisontoweb- site marketing many estate agencies have cut back significantly on their print advertising. This means there are fewer homes advertised in print, and it’s easier for your property to stand out from the crowd if it enjoys printmar- keting. AtHarcourts Platinumwe can confirm that, whenour listingsappear inprint, there isasig- nificant increase inthewebsiteactivityonthat listing. So it is a fact that print drives online marketing. A purchaserwill see a property ad- vertised in print, go to the agency’s website, andenter thewebreferencenumber.Theywill thenhaveaccesstomultiplephoto’s,video,and all the property information they require. .Website advertising Whatapowerfultooltheinternethasbecome for advertising. Buyers frequent sites like Property24.comandPrivateproperty.co.zaand search through thousands of properties for suitable homes. In addition to this, the individ- ual websites of estate agencies carry the hun- dreds of listings. Buyers have instant access to multiple pho- to’s, floorplans, video, and all the additional information they require. Enquiries can be made at the click of a but- ton. Website marketing has be- come so popular that some- times it can be difficult to fil- ter through all the properties to source the ones that are of interest. In addition to this, sometimes a property can be listed by different companies multipletimes–evenatdiffer- ent prices. To counter this some websites sell “Feature Listing” spots where a prop- ertycanbespotlightedtopreventitgettinglost. .Boards Boards still remain a very effective way of attracting buyers that drive through an area. Buyers already knowwhere a property is, and what it looks like from the road. About 25% of all buyer enquiries at Harcourts Platinum re- sult from boards, especially our unique photo boards. In future articles the benefits of showhouses and database marketing will be discussed. Important to remember is that a marketing plan needs to incorporate many different ad- vertising methods – not just one. A combina- tion of the correct advertising will throw the net reallywide to ensure that all potential buy- ers are attracted to your property. It’s the only way to ensure you get the most themarketwill pay. If youwould like a proper- ty question answered email Steve on ste- [email protected].

For instant, glorious col- our in the garden nothing beats bedding plants. Just a few trays of seedlingswill trans- form an otherwise dull corner into a kaleido- scope of brilliant colour. While somegardenersare loath tobuyseed- lings when they can’t see any blooms on the little plants, this shouldn’t be a concern. Pop- pies offer their best when planted early in the season, soon providing blooms that will keep on appearing right through to late spring. Iceland poppies prefer full sun and require fertile soil, good drainage, protection from strongwindsandregularwatering.Theyusu- ally start floweringwithin 90 days after trans- planting and continue to do so for about 16 to 20 weeks. Poppies love gardeners that like to pick for the vase – the more you pick them themore they flower for you. If you don’t pick the blooms it’s essential that you deadhead the spent blooms to keep them flowering. Sin- gle colours are now available for those with colour schemes and there are also lovely pas- telshades.Poppiesworkverywellwithspring bulbs, as well as inter planted with low grow- ing annuals like pansies. – Bedding Plant Growers Association.

Held at the glittering Sandton Convention Centre last Friday (26thApril), the 12th annu- al Oliver Empowerment Awards saw VWSA handed the coveted Skills Development award – beating othermajor contenders such as First Rand, KPMG and NetCare. Recognised as the country’s most influen- tial empowerment accolade, the Oliver Em- powerment Awards identify and acknowl- edge empowerment leadership and innova- tion. The awards celebrate companies and indi- viduals in the public and private sectors which excel in job creation, entrepreneur- ship and enterprise development. VWSA director of corporate and govern- ment affairs, Nonkqubela Maliza, was de- lighted at the news and said the company would continue to strive towards employee skills development. “VWSAnotonly focusesonemploymenteq- uity and management matters pertaining to empowerment, but we have also invested heavily in skills development, training, edu- cationandenterprisedevelopment,”shesaid, adding that the company had invested about R450 million invarious trainingandskillsde- velopment initiatives between 2006 and the end of 2011. “This investment has benefited the compa- ny’s employees, employeeswithin thenation- alvehicledealernetworksaswellasmembers of the broader community. VWSA is hon- oured to have received this prestigious acco- lade and will continually strive to improve and further the development of our people.” The judgingpanel of twelve consistedofdis- tinguished business people, including IBM SA’s head of governmental programmes, Gavin Pieterse, MD of the Centre of Supplier Development, Molebatsi Moagi, and CEO of the Black Business Council, Xolani Qubeka. “Volkswagen scored a 10 by our judges for their excellent efforts, at all levels, fromadult literacy to technical skills. VWSA is a compa- ny with a well-balanced skills development that accommodates all aspects of business,” said Pieterse. Moagi said the company’s programmes were “in line with the learning programme matrix”. “Skillsdevelopment spansacross theentire Volkswagen Group organisation, from tech- nical to leadership skills addressing skills shortages from ABET to production skills. “They have excellent programmes in line with the learning programmematrix that ex- ceeds the skills development targets and com- pliance requirements,” he said. VWSA’s submission to the Oliver Awards included that it had set up various learning academies at its Uitenhage plant, as well as “a world class small-business incubator in Uitenhage”. “This incubatorsupports16smallbusiness- es and costs R5 million to run per annum,” it said in the submission.

Volgens Pieter Klerck, senior bestuurder van bemarkingskommunikasie en reklame by Toyota, word die maatskappy se steun daarin gesetel dat hy regstreeks met ’n jon- ger teikenmarkwilpraat,waaronderdie re- klamemense wat so skeppend, vry en oor- spronklikdinkenelke jaardie toekennings- plegtigheid bywoon, asook die verbruikers wat deur hulle beïnvloed word. “Toehy19 jaargeledegestig is, hetPendo- ring daarmee erkenning gegee dat Afri- kaans pens enpootjies deel vanSuid-Afrika se erfenis en identiteit is,” sê hy. “Met die vertrekpunt dat die Afrikaans- sprekende deel van die bevolking uiters handelsnaam-lojaal is, ’n taamlik groot be- steebare inkomste het, en dat verbruikers hulharte,koppeenbeursiesmeergeredelik oopmaak wanneer in hul moedertaal met hulle gepraat word, het Pendoring bemar- kers aangemoedig om produkte en dienste in Afrikaans te bevorder. “Toyota het nog altyd deur middel van skerp en skeppende reklame met dié mark Afrikaans gepraat en het die geleentheid verwelkom om sy jare lange steun vir die taal deur sy verbintenis met Pendoring te belig. Vandag verwelkom die groep die feit dat Pendoring tot by die punt gekom het waarhyookskeppendheiden’nhernudebe- langstelling in ander inheemse tale bevor- der. Sy instelling van die eg Suid-Afrikaan- se kategorieë en die bekendstelling van die Umpetha-toekenning is progressiewe stap- pe, en dit vind aanklank by sowel die skep- pers van moedertaal-reklame as die ver- bruikers waarmee daardeur gepraat word. “Diehandelsnaamsevolgehouebandmet Pendoring bied aan Toyota die ideale ge- leentheid om homself en sy voertuie te ver- bindmetdié teikenmarkwathul ophulkul- tuur, taal en erfenis roem,” sê hy. Pendoringhet oor die afgelope tweedeka- des gegroei tot ’n omvattende veldtog wat daarop gemik is om groter bewustheid van die krag van kommunikasie in die huistaal van die teikenmark te skep, of dit nou in Afrikaans, Zoeloe of Xhosa is. “Pendoring gaan vandag oor die aanmoe- diging van die gebruik van reklame in in- heemse tale, omsodoendedie erfenis en tra- disies van alle Suid-Afrikaners te respek- teer en waardeer,” sê Japie Gouws, voorsitter en besturende direkteur van die ATKVGroep. “Deur reklame in die teiken- gehoor se moedertaal te skep en daarin te adverteer,envirPendoringinteskryf,word die bestaan van daardie moedertaal verse- ker, nes die ontwikkeling van innoverende en skeppende reklame wat waarlik by die teikenmark aanklank vind. “Dit lei op sy beurt nie net tot ’n gesonde en dinamiese reklamebedryf nie,maar is ’n grondige belegging indie toekomsvanAfri- kaans en ander tale,” sê Gouws. “Toyota se volgehoue steun aan die toekennings lewer ’n groot bydrae in ons strewe hierna.” 18 Donderdag 16 Mei, 2013 BOLAND SOLD AUTO Road-test: Isuzu’s satisfyingnewKB FRANS LE ROUX Isuzu recently coined a new catch phrase namely, “The Bakkie Specialists” which I quite like and tend to agree with. Since 1972, Isuzuhas stuck to theirwinning recipe by producing safe, solid and reliable bakkieswhich thousands of SouthAfricans fell in love with. It has taken the company more than 40 years to win over the hearts of their loyal fans. With the launch of the sixth generation KB, Isuzu provides more of the same quality that we’ve come to ex- pect. Farmers, buildersandworkers fromvari- ous different sectors waited for close to 10 years for this bakkie, and it has finally ar- rived. I took delivery of a white KB 300 D-Teq and spent a couple of days testing it around theWesternCape. Lets start offwith the col- our,white is inmyhumble opinion the only colour a bakkie should be. An obvious rea- son for this is that it stays cleaner for longer but to be honest, nothing looks more “man- ly” thanburnt orangemud stains onawhite bakkie. On the interior, Isuzu changed the dash- board and instrument cluster. Borrowing some of its new design features from the Chevrolet Trailblazer. This is by no means a bad thing, and I do like the large climate control display and the dark chocolate brown leather seats. I would however have wanted my front passenger seat to be more adjustableorelectroniceven.Tallerpassen- gers complained that headroom in the front was a bit cramped, but on the upside leg- room in the rear has improved tremendous- ly. Improvements made possible by build- ing a larger cabin and bakkie overall. The rear seat positioning is certainly not up- right any more and improves comfort lev- els, especially on long distance trips. Cruise control works aplomb with switches situated on the steering wheel. In the looks department I think Isuzu has got the styling spot on. They went for a fresh but not “out of this world” design, while stay- ing true to Isuzu’s signature design details. Inthefront,xenonlook-alikelightclustersare surrounded by some very shiny chrome ac- cents. The newKB does not feature the signa- ture intercooler hood-scoop which the diesel models had. The bakkie is fitted with a chromed-out rear bumper were the park-as- sist can be found. This is anotherwelcome ad- dition to modern bakkies. The previous KB 300 D-Teq was fitted with a 3.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel mill which produced 120 kW/360Nm. The newKB uses the sameenginewithupgraded internals and electronics which raises the power to a 130 kW/380 Nm. The extra bit of power is wel- comed but owners of the previous model should not expect to be blown away. Two things I was however impressed by was the almost silent idle. This was at first quite strange due to the fact that Isuzu has always had a very distinct engine noise. But the new “sound” is welcomed along with a improved ride on all surfaces. When I heard that Isuzu stuck with a 5- speed gearbox I reserved my scepticism. Only after a good few kilometres in and around town, I can honestly say that it’s not bad at all. Only having five cogs to slap around meant that third, fourth and fifth were geared longer to help lower fuel con- sumption and improve overtaking. This same5-speedallowedfor lessdownshifting while sipping little amounts of diesel. So little in fact that the KB has class-leading fuel economy. I achieved figures of about 8,5 litres/100km on the open road while in town it went up to around 10 litres/100km. With an 80 liter fuel tank you can easily get past the 800 km range. Being a double cab bakkie, rivals are a certainty, with the likes of Hilux, Ranger andAmarok all competing for the top spot. The KB comes in at a competitive price of R410 440 for the 300D-Teq LX 4X2. A5year/120 000 kmwarrantyalongwith a 5 year/90 000 km service plan is included as standard. If your are an Isuzu fan or you currently own one, the latest offering would certain- ly not disappoint. The KB features more of the trusted quality buyers came to ex- pect from Isuzu after four decades of doing what they do best – building a “flippen” good bakkie. It is on gravel roads like these where some new KB’s would do most of their mileage. With a compliant ride and good ground clearance the new KB is a very good bakkie.

This cheapie offspring could only watch VW’sGolf and other premiumhatchbacks drive off into the sunset. TazzandCitiGolfbattled itout forentry-lev- el sales while Toyota South Africa had no an- swer to Golf, Astra, etc. That was until the RunX came along, another local-is-lekker name for what would’ve passed as a perfectly good Corolla hatchback elsewhere. The RunX had a sense of honest simplicity about it, something most Toyota owners ap- preciate. Itwas far frombeautiful yet pleasing to the eye, especiallywith some biggerwheels to fill those great Toyota wheel arches. Its successor was the world-market Auris, anotherToyota thatwasn’t bad looking or bad todrive. Italsogaveusatasteof things tocome with more curves, better proportions and a rather exciting dashboard and instrument cluster. This year saw the introduction of the sec- ond-generation Auris which showcases Toyo- ta’s newdesign languagewith daring lines de- fining a slightlymore aggressive shape. Some observersnotedKorean influencewhich, con- sidering what they’re up to nowadays, is a back-handed compliment. Its interior is also a refreshing change from previous attempts with a whiff of retro and 86. The dash rises almost vertically andmeets thecentral tunnel through1970’sMercedesair ventsandasilverswoopwhich(bigsigh)hous- es the obligatory 1982 Toyota clock. This top-spec XR’s climate control also re- lies on old-school LCD displays but its efforts are flawless. A big touch-screen infotainment system takes centre stage and offers features like radio, CD, mp3, Aux, USB, Bluetooth and a reversing camera. Instrumentation is clearly drawn with a good trip computer and chrome-ringed main instruments behind a fat, adjustable, multi- function steering wheel. The wheel’s bottom sectionhasabig silveraccent, asdoes thegear lever surround, both front door handles and two round air vents. Leather covers most other surfaces and is held togetheracross thebellyof thedashboard by beautifully contrasting white stitches. These are reflected in the door pockets and whereas Toyota still has their own idea of what leather should lookand feel like, thenew Auris front seats got heaps of praise. Therearseats fold ina60/40split to increase luggage capacity and you get the usual sus- pects like central locking, alloywheels, power windows and mirrors, multiple airbags, ad- vanced ABS brakes, vehicle stability control, ISOFIX anchors, cup holders, alarm and im- mobiliser as standard. Powering the Auris XR is a 1,598cc 4-cylin- der petrol engine (97kW/132hp/160Nm) through either a six-speedmanual gearbox or CVT (continually variable transmission). Most people gasp, freeze or recoil in horror at thementionof those three lettersbut thank- fully we have a CVT owner on our team. Said owner confirmed that this Toyota has a pleasing combination of bubbly engine and excellent response. There isn’t much throttle take-up delay and you’ll only have to endure the hair-raising constant scream if you need full power. Cruising around town or on the highway is extremely smooth, quite frugal (claimed 6.1L/100km, 143g CO²/km) and very relaxing because the 160Nm of torque really do more than they promise. This box also offersmanu- al gear simulation for situations when you simply need to keep the revs up. Comparative 1,600 automatic hatchbacks range fromR198 995 toR291 000against theXR CVT’s asking price of R265 600, not factoring in specification levels. Included in the Auris price is a 3- year/100 000 km warranty and 5- year/90 000 kmserviceplan. -GalimotoMedia Powering the Auris XR is a 1 598cc 4­cylinder petrol engine (97kW/132hp/160Nm) through either a six­speed manual gearbox or CVT (con­ tinually variable transmission).
