6EditorialGrocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009Liberty and ProgressEstablished 1870Shoot to what?Giving policemen a licence to kill is an absurd wayof attempting to deal with rampant crime in thiscountry.Last year, Deputy Safety and Security Minister SusanShabangu, said, “I want no warning shots, you have one shotand it must be a kill shot.”While releasing the latest crime stats in September thisyear, police minister, Nathi Mthethwa, said Parliament issoon to receive legislation making it easier for policemen toopen fire. He said “It is important to reiterate that triggerhappy members [of the SAPS] should not think that this is alicence to kill,”A few days later, President Jacob Zuma defended theproposed legislation saying that “Criminals don’t take anoath to do warning shots”.These irresponsible statements reflect a dismal lack ofvision on how to deal with one of the most serious challengesfacing the country.While Shabangu encourages police officers to kill ratherthan to warn, Mthethwa acknowledged that some individualsmight believe they have free rein to shoot at will. Zumasuggests that on the other hand, to be effective, policemenshould be brought down to the level of a criminal.What is the likely outcome of this ludicrous legislation?It is difficult to predict, but if criminals know that thepolicemen’s first recourse is shoot to kill, they would have apressing incentive to shoot first. Laws ostensibly designed toprotect policemen actually might result in more fatalities.The amended law has not been passed, yet two weeksago, a police officer opened fire killing a woman and woundingtwo others because their vehicle fitted the descriptionof a recently hijacked car – a grey Toyota Corolla.In order to effectively deal with crime, the SAPS needsto dramatically increase the salaries of police officers – notthe fat cats who drive around in imported cars. Respectablesalaries will attract high calibre individuals and thecommunity will justifiably expect improved levels of servicefrom well paid officers. Secondly, more resources needto be channeled into police training because well trainedpolicemen do not need to open fire every time they seesomeone who might or might not be a criminal.Visit www.grocotts.co.zafor your online fixSouth Africa’s Oldest Independent NewspaperIncorporating The Grahamstown Journal (1831 – 1920)Vol. 140 No. 82Published by the David Rabkin Project for ExperientialJournalism Training (Pty) Ltd, 40 High Street, Grahamstown, 6139.Printed by PaarlcoldsetTelephone: 046 622 7222 • Fax: 046 622 7282/3www.grocotts.co.zaEmAIl AddrESSESNews: editor@grocotts.co.zaWebsite: online@grocotts.co.zaAdvertising: adverts@grocotts.co.za or ronel@grocotts.co.zaSport: sport@grocotts.co.zaletters: letters@grocotts.co.zaGeneral manager: l.vale@grocotts.co.zaEdITOrIAlEditor: Steven LangStaff reporters: Kwanele Butana, Maria Sibiya, AsandaNaketiStaff Photographer/reporter: Stephen Penney,New media Editor: Michael SalzwedelGeneral manager: Louise ValeAdvertising manager: Ronél BowlesGrocott’s mail is published by the David Rabkin Projectfor Experiential Journalism, a company wholly ownedby Rhodes University.

I wasin Grahamstown when thefirst discussions of the windturbines came up.

I wasabout the same distance fromwhere the industrial road is tothe turbines. I strongly believethat we should try usingalternate energy sources likethe wind turbines and solarpanels and they should not bediscouraged.

Thevista was clean and free of clutter.From this central position I was able to better admire thebuildings on either side of the street and I really appreciatedtheir cared-for appearances.

Surelythe use of alternate energygrowing alien vegetation out of their shopfronts. I am also ofthe opinion that the Steers and Mr Video signs detract fromtheir building and probably would improve appearances andbe in keeping with other buildings if the signs wereplacedlower down.People talk of shopping malls and travel great distances tovisit one. Perhaps Grahamstown has a unique shopping mall onour doorstep. An open air one with trees, flowers, birds and theopen sky above. It would need some good planning but perhapsone day a week (such as a Friday) could be attempted at firstto see how it goes. Such malls are very popular overseas and towalk freely along one is only a pleasure. One immediately hasthat feeling of being at leisure and with our many eating places;tables and chairs on the street in front of each one would add tothe holiday feeling.Our buildings are unique, historic and beautiful, let us giveoverseas visitors the chance to enjoy and photograph them.Remember that every photo of Grahamstown taken back to anothercountry is free advertising. Let us give tourists the experienceof a lovely open air shopping mall with history attached.Angela BarbertonHeads should rollsources could even makepower cheaper?Zoë PalmerThe article ‘Plug pulled on water scheme’ (Grocott’s Mail, 20October) refers.Isn’t it amazing! The Albany Water Scheme almost happened.Not so long ago we were told that this project -- whichwould have resulted in the closure of 25% of existing watersupplies to Grahamstown, while costing our cash-strappedmunicipality R600-million – was “definitely going ahead” andit was “too late to protest as permission from the Departmentof Water Affairs and Forestry [DWAF] had already beenreceived”.The main developers, who were also the consultants,ignored all sensible water-sourcing options in their drive tobring water to extravagant tourist developments along thecoast. The benefit to Grahamstown? A vague promise thatsomebody would pay for fixing our reticulation system andsome talk of “developing vegetable farms” using water providedby the soon-to-be-defunct Howison’s Poort Dam. Expensivevegetables, those!The extravagance and stupidity of this scheme is mindblowing.But what is most upsetting is the devious behaviourof the developers. At a meeting held in early March 2008, BigenAfrica gave the assurance that water availability would notbe a problem. They also tried to stifle all protests against thescheme by implying that DWAF had already given permissionto go ahead with the project.These developers (Bigen Africa and Absa bank) shouldhang their heads in shame! They have misled the public intheir determination to push for a plan that would have impoverishedlocal municipalities, given no proper assurance offuture water supplies, and squandered 25% of existing waterresources.Their behaviour indicates that they do not have the bestinterests of the community or the country at heart.The main beneficiaries of such a scheme? I suspect thatproperty developers, who are itching to develop our ecologicallyfragile coastal zone, would have made themselves a killing.Thank God that common sense prevailed and that thepowers-that-be saw fit to can this ill-advised, diabolical plan.But I think that a few heads should roll.Irene de MoorPseudonyms may be used, but all letters must be supported by a name, signature and street address.

Grocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009News7MY CAUSE... DrSaleem Badat, thevice-chancellor ofRhodes Universityspeaks about blackconsciousness at thelaunch of his book,Black man, you are onyour own. Behind himis a picture of the lateblack consciousnessleader Stephen BantuBiko. Photo: Thyla NelBadat reignites the black person’s causeThando Tshangela“On October 19, 1977, numerous black consciousnessorganisations were banned and scores of political activistswere detained in the aftermath of the Sowetouprisings and the killing of Stephen Bantu Biko on 12 September1977, and one of the organisations that was banned was the SouthAfrican Students Organisation (SASO),” said Rhodes Universityvice-chancellor Dr Saleem Badat during the launch of his book,Black man, you are on your own, on Monday.The book, which is about SASO and its rolein the fight against apartheid, “analysesthe ideology, context and organisationalfeatures” of the organisation and“assesses its contribution to thestruggle against apartheid education,race, class and gender oppressionin South Africa,” saidBadat. SASO was the black consciousnessmovement studentorganisation which was formedby black university students in1968 and led by Biko after theybroke away from the non-racialNational Union of South AfricanStudents (Nusas) because theyfelt that Nusas did not address theneeds of black students in a radical way.Badat says SASO was formed at a timewhen black people faced oppression from theapartheid government’s racial policies and black universitieswere not designed to “produce dissidents but had beencharged ”Livestock with the responsibility – buying/selling?of winning students intellectuallyandContactpoliticallyustoforthetheseparatistbest price!development programme”of the apartheid government.WoolThe title of the book is takenLivestockfrom a quote by SASO leader,Barney Pityana, and “expresses the sentiments and context oftheMohair60s “when blacks were sufferingPropertybecause of legalised discriminationand the students felt that they could“We leadnotanddependothers follow”onthe whites for their thinking and organisational activities.”DAVID FORD on 082 655 2326 or 046 636 2669Badat said the book is relevant for a number of reasons,GARY WILLOWS on 082 497 8234 or 046 684 1487including that we must not forget our past, and “as a rainbownation and a non-racial society it is all too easy to neglect to askhow OPTION far the past 1 - has R163.95 been transformed”.

The book alsolooks at black higher education before 1960, student politics ofthe 50s and 40s and debunks the myth that black consciousnessbegan with SASO, revealing that it was a process that unfoldedover time.The black consciousness movement’s philosophy soughtto instil pride in black people and challenged the notion thatblacks were inferior to whites. Badat says it gave usassertions such as “black is beautiful and discouragedpeople from using skin lighteningcreams, encouraged the Afro hairstyle anddress that was more of an African natureand the clenched fist salute embodyingblack solidarity and opposition to whitedomination.”According to Badat, unequal opportunities,unemployment, pooreducation, social welfare and healthcarechallenges that existed at thetime of the SASO generation still persisttoday as well as “questions of race,identity, cultural and social transformation.”He said we could learn from Biko,black consciousness, and SASO to “pushto the limits the boundaries in the pursuit ofsocial justice, equity, human rights, democracyand development”. He also condemned the excessivespending at hotels by the police minister, Nathi Mthethwa, andsaid those who “occupy seats of power” must heed Nelson Mandela’swords that “the people’s patience is not endless”.The launch was attended by Nkosinathi Biko of the BikoFoundation which makes Biko’s body of work available to theyouth and who commissioned and financed Badat’s book. Bikosaid the book was important as it was about the formation ofSASO and black consciousness.

Grocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009Love winsSophie MarcuSAnyone in the vicinity of Graeme College on Sunday afternoonwould definitely have heard the noise of over 500children clapping their hands, stomping their feet andshouting at the tops of their voices in worship.Kick (Kids in Christ’s Kingdom), which started four yearsago in Port elizabeth, took place in Grahamstown for the firsttime on Sunday. Two Rhodes students, Michelle Krummeck andNomonde Ndlangisa along with local businessman Robert vander Merwe, were responsible for bringing the project to Grahamstown.Their vision was to see “thousands of kids singingand praising Jesus and meeting with God on an intimate levelthrough worship, drama, and fellowship with friends and leaders,”said Krummeck.The afternoon started with some fun in the sun as children,energised by snacks and juice, had their faces painted byclowns, or makeup applied in the girls’ corner. Jumping castles,sack races, skipping ropes, cricket, rugby, soccer balls and afrisbee added to the excitement.The Graeme College hall was transformed into a colourful,exciting space in which to sing and dance with the theme,Love Wins emblazoned above the stage. Krummeck and a bandof colourful dancers, singers and musicians led the children injubilant worship songs with words such as “I wanna be used byyou, please Jesus won’t you use me too, I wanna go save theworld and never let go of all you’ve called me to.” The childrenwere singing along jubilantly and following the actions. Ben andThandi, the Kick mascots, stole the show and were a hit with allthe children.After Dave Koch, the pastor from Frontiers Church, spoketo the children, there was a time of prayer for families, schools,churches, the country and the continent of Africa. “We are impactingthe future leaders of this nation – educating them, inspiringthem and birthing in them a desire to see this countryflourish!” Krummeck emphasised. To end off the afternoon thechildren were split into age groups and taught a message aboutthe theme of the day.“This project could not have been done without the help ofthe Grahamstown community,” Van der Merwe stressed, “theyhave built into our children’s lives by getting involved witha project like this.” Krummeck described it as a “communityproject” where Kick supports local businesses and in turn localschools and businesses support Kick with finances and willingnessto get involved. She said not only will this event happen annually,Kick will also keep visiting the schools of Grahamstownand the vision is to run Kick in Grahamstown east to make itmore accessible to more children. There will also be a projectcalled Kick Outreach to bless those less privileged children inthe city because as Krummeck said, “every child is importantand we want every child to experience the love of God.”To get involved or find out more information please contactMichelle on 082 308 3748 or lauren@kickworship.co.za.Thought for the weekWe belong to Him“Be glad that we belong toHim.”(1 Chronicles 16:10) andin 1 Chronicles 16:22: “Don’tharm my chosen servants, donot touch my prophets.”In the previous chapterverse 25-29, we read how KingDavid prepared a place forthe covenant box in Jerusalemand brought it back withmuch ado and great joy. Theydid it all to make God happyand willing to help them.Jesus said before He wentback to heaven: “I am goingto prepare a place for you andcome back and take you withMe.”God says He does not livein church buildings made byman, but our bodies are Histemple. One day a little boymade himself a little woodenboat with sails so lovely. Hetook it to the lake to sail it,when a wind blew it away andit was lost. A time later he sawhis boat in a shop window. Hetold the owner that it was hisboat. The owner said he mayget is if he pays for it. After atime of saving the boy wentand got his boat back. He tookit in arms and said: “You arenow twice mine: first I madeyou and then I bought you.”Jesus also made us andthen bought us on the crossto save us for eternity. Do youalso belong to him?Schalk van NiekerkA big thank you for yourcontribution to KICK and tothe children of Grahamstown:Birite Furniture, Connocks Butchery,Gary’s Refrigeration, EastCape Electrical, Goodhope Cycle& Key, Len’s Auto Repairs, HyundaiGrahamstown, Hi-Q LensAuto, Albany Business Machines/Office National, Pipe Line, AndronikisJewellers, PostNet, KowieBrake & Clutch, R&S Plumbing& Cabinets, Alroy’s Auto Services,Phoenix Roller Mills, D&A Timbers,Pick ‘n Pay, Roxbury Theatres,Xtreme Clothing, FrontiersChurch International, CT Couriers,Pioneer Liquor Store, InsightTechnologies, K3-Construction,Signs Un-Ltd, Autocraft Midas,Graham Hotel, GrahamstownFoundation, Rent-a-Candle andAdd-Venture.

2 Grocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009FeatureGrahamstonians living in fearWhat will a group of third year Journalism and Media Studies students find when they investigatecrime? The answers might be surprisingVery few topics of conversation conjure heated responses the way crime does. Whether it’s theinefficiency of the police, the promises of politicians or the brutality of the crime, everyone hasan opinion. Somerset Heights, Oatlands North and Currie Park are hardly the epicentre of Grahamstown’scriminal underbelly. Most residents can afford to rely on Hi-Tec rather than a policeforce some would describe as inefficient and unreliable.Some of you are even taking matters into your own hands; relying on paintball guns, revolversand savage (if only in looks alone) dogs to guard your homes.A tour of the neighbourhood is revealing; picket fences are being replaced with metres ofcement walls. electrified fencing and barbed wire are no longer an exception to the norm.Clearly we are more fearful than ever before. But is this the best way to create a sustainablysafer community?Are private security and vigilantism the best ways to combat rampant crime and even morerampant fear? Or can you find ways to become less isolated, working together as a community toensure your safety? Is it possible to restore some confidence in the police and by doing so bringthe two parties together to better the current situation?We think so, but only you are qualified to answer these questions.Left: Residents employ various security measures including cameras to detect possible threats to theirpremises.Right: Many residents have fortified themselves and their premises by constructing large brick walls andadding electrified fences to prevent burglaries.The psychology of feartacy Morelandaybe a curious shadow sweeps across the window.Maybe a peculiar noise echoes in the dark. At nightour subconscious minds are left to wonder “what if?”hile an endless newsreel of South Africa’s latest crime statisicsplays relentlessly in our heads. Clearly how safe we are hasothing to do with how safe we feel.Deon Bovey has lived in Oatland’s North for two years andays, “This is modern life, a neighbourhood watch could work,ut everyone keeps too much to themselves, that’s just theay it is.” It appears that we have retreated to our domesticortresses where varying levels of paranoia incite us to buildigher walls around our families, leaving our neighbours to dohe same.However, the need to insulate ourselves against crimeausedfear has little to do with a reduction in actual criminalctivity. The South African Stress and Health Survey found in008 that a third of our population will experience some formf violence in our lifetime. However Samantha Fox, who is curentlycompleting her Masters in Counselling Psychology speialisingin trauma counselling, says that it is possible for anyneto suffer from “vicarious victimisation”. We live immersedn negative media, horrifying statistics and gruesome images.herefore our empathy for others often makes us feel subconciouslyvictimised even when we ourselves are not the victimsf crime. Without our knowledge we adopt a state of hyper-viglance,ready to respond instinctively by ‘fight or flight’. Simplyut: we live in fear.Neighbours Wayne rathbone and richard MacNally livemetres apart, yet they adopt very different approaches to thefear of potential attack. Both are certain that they feel absolutelysafe and secure. evidently safety is as much a state of mindas it is a reality.The rathbones adopt a free-spirited approach. “We’ve beenknown to go to sleep with our keys still in the outside of ourfront door,” says Wayne. The minor incidents of theft they’veexperienced they attribute to their own carelessness, such asthe loss of a ladder left in the front yard or entry via a windowleft wide open to allow newly varnished floors to dry. “The township,”they say, “that’s where the real crime is”.While the rathbones’ relaxed attitude keeps them feelingsecure richard MacNally has reacted to threats by ensuring hisproperty keeps intruders out, even throwing the odd firecrackerto scare off kids “messing around”. The MacNallys feel safe becausethey are actively protecting themselves. “I manage oursecurity here, we’ve been here for six years now and not oneproblem”.Our homes should be places of refuge, where we can recuperatefrom the stresses beyond their walls. yet despite our bestattempts to protect ourselves we cannot always be successful.In June this year Ann Pott’s 17-year-old daughter was mugged.In her wallet was her home address and since then their familyhome in espin Drive has been targeted by criminals on numerousoccasions.random violent acts such as a brick thrown through a windowhave left the family living in constant fear. “I think theyhave a personal vendetta against us,” says Pott. Her 13-yearolddaughter has become so traumatised by the constant fearthat she cannot fall asleep without her mother watching overher every night.Stress is a natural response – an evolutionary tool that givesus the adrenaline rush required to evade, fight and survive. Butour bodies and minds cannot cope with constant stress and therepercussions of post-traumatic stress should not be underestimated.Fox says that while post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is fairly rare, everyone experiences some of the symptomsof PTSD when faced with violence in their own homes.She likens the human memory to a cupboard. “When you havea traumatic experience, that memory is just thrown into thecupboard, you don’t have time to order and arrange it, so partsmight get lost.” The lost parts of a traumatic experience oftenemerge as nightmares, flashbacks or intrusive thoughts. everyindividual is different but experiencing difficulty concentrating,irritability, disturbed sleep and emotional ‘numbness’ may allbe signs that a friend or family member is not coping with theirtraumatic experience.When faced with a situation like this Fox suggests that themost important thing is to “create an environment of social support– where adults can talk it out and children can play it out”.Parents should consider making a visible reassuring change tothe security in or around their home. Children don’t necessarilyneed to feel that their house is impenetrable, but rather asense of ‘that was then, this is now’ which allows them to let goof traumatic memories.Clearly neighbours aren’t just the people who live on eitherside of us, and home isn’t only behind our garden gate. Livingin fear is a phenomenon which shows that when crime touchesone of us, it affects us all.

Grocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009Feature13When the community speaksDespite a low turnout, a community meeting hosted by a group of Journalism students on Saturdaywas most informative for those who attended.Staff reporterSOn Saturday, 17 October a group of Rhodes journalism students who had been investigatingcrime in Currie Park, Oatlands North and Somerset Heights as part of a civic journalismproject, were ready to present their findings to the community. They distributed 400 fliersadvertising the event and put up posters all over town. As 11am approached it became apparentthat attendance would be disappointing.Those present expressed their frustration at the evident apathy of their neighbours and criticisedthe isolated mentality of suburban living as a major obstacle to reducing crime. While researchingtheir articles, sound slides and documentaries the students had found that residentswere highly preoccupied with the perceived failings of the police as well as fears for the safety oftheir families and property - yet few are willing to engage with these fears in a meaningful way.This was reinforced by some people’s hesitance to report crimes.Despite the poor turnout, Inspector Milanda Coetzer of the South African Police Service presenteda thorough presentation accompanied by Sergeant Gay Mackenzie, the newly appointedhead of Sector Three (Somerset Heights area). They responded to residents’ complaints concerninga lack of visible policing in their area.To place crime in the Somerset Heights, Oatlands North and Currie Park areas in perspectiveweek by week, Coetzer explained that statistics clearly revealed that while the CBD andGrahamstown East experience high instances of serious and violent crimes, these three neighbourhoodsoften went without a single reported incident. Of course this may demonstrate a lackof faith in the justice system rather than the reality of crime and some residents freely admittedthat the only reason they felt compelled to report crime was because insurance required themto do so.They described the process of reporting as an exasperating one in which they spent hours‘at the police station dealing with a “frustratingand ineffective system”. Coetzer stressedthat if residents don’t report crimes then theSAPS’ time and manpower will be allocatedelsewhere as the crime prevention systemfocuses mostly on hotspots.Coetzer’s statistics also revealed a worryingtrend. As the more affluent suburbsincreasingly rely on Hi-Tech to secure theirhomes, criminals are choosing to risk confrontingsurprised civilians rather than ateam of armed response guards. Homes arebeing targeted between 6 and 9pm at nightwhen it is likely that the occupants are athome and alarms are deactivated, obviouslyat greater risk to the residents’ safety. Coetzeralso reminded residents that the biggestconcern for the broader area of GrahamstownWest is the theft of laptops, whichamounted to over a R1-million worth alreadybeen reported stolen this year.As wealthiersuburbs increasinglyrely on private securitycompanies to securetheir homes, criminalsare choosing to riskconfronting surprisedresidents rather thana team of armedresponse guardsIn conclusion Coetzer stressed that she found students’ initiative very helpful as there are fewforums in which the Grahamstown community can effectively raise their concerns. She asked thoselistening to remember that the policemen and women of Grahamstown are members of the communitytoo and their concern for the safety and security of Grahamstown should not be doubted.Safeguarding tipsfrom the SAPSThese are practical hints to make sure you stay safe. however,these hints are so simple and practical that youmightforget them or do not regard them as important enough. Butit may mean the difference between a home owner who issafety conscious and a victim.If possible, it is advisable to join your local neighbourhoodwatch or community forum. Contact your local policestation for further information.Avoid unnecessary routines, as they make your behaviourpredictable and make you an easy target.WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME:• Single women must avoid using titles such as miss – especiallyat highly visible places like post boxes on the streetand on doors and in telephone directories.• When you are home alone, do not leave doors open whileyou are busy in another room. Remember, most rapes takeplace in the victim’s own home.• Do not go to bed if you have not locked up your home,including windows. At least lock the safety gates.• Ensure that your family knows all the emergency numbers,otherwise, write them down and keep them close to thetelephone.• If you possess a firearm, lock it away securely in a safe.Keep the key safe and know where it is so you can easilyreach the firearm.• When you are alone at home, you should not open thedoor for anybody, unless you are expecting somebody.• If you are alone at home and are confronted by a stranger,you must not let it become evident that you are alone.• When you go to bed you should always lock the doorsinside the house.Top: Neighbourhoods wherethere are large open spacesseem to experience morecrime. Police believe thatcriminals use these ashiding places.Centre: Residents in SomersetHeights, Oatlands Northand Currie Park believe thatplaces like rubbish dumpsin their area tend to drawvagrants to theneighbourhood.Bottom: Some residents havelittle faith in the South AfricanPolice Service (SAPS) andtend to rely more heavily onprivate securitycompanies.IF YOU ARE CONFRONTED:• Try not to come between the housebreaker and his escaperoute.• If you are confronted by a stranger inside the house, tryto lock yourself into a room which is not accessible to astranger.• When you are in bed and find a strange person in yourroom, try to stay still and calm and pretend you are asleep.• If you are woken up by an intruder do what he says.• Try to memorise the intruder’s face so that you can describehim to the police.WHEN ARRIVING HOME:• Leave outside lights on when you go out and you know youwill be returning later.• If you have dogs, wait until they approach you before enteringyour home.• Ensure that the keys with which you will open the door, arein your hand. Do not scratch round looking for keys.• Lock the door behind you when you enter the house.

18 Grocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009MotoringMini MotoringThe all-new Nissan MuranoNissan’s Murano was little short of a revelation when it hitshowrooms in 2004, evidenced by the fact that it immediatelymade it into the SA Car of the Year contest for 2005.The mid-sized crossover SUV segment has moved on,and now features offerings from just about every manufacturerin the business. Yet, it is among this substantial pack ofcompetitors that the Murano demonstrated the strength ofits underlying design principles by remaining the most standoutoffering in this increasingly growing segment.Nissan SA has introduced the all-new 2009 Murano,which propels this iconic vehicle even further ahead with extensiveenhancements that matter to the modern motoringman.Fuel consumption and harmful emissions have beensubstantially reduced thanks to development dedicated towardsthese objectives, without sacrificing on sporting performanceat all. In fact, the new Murano reaches 100 km/hin eight seconds, nearly a full second faster than the firstgenerationmodel, and powers on to a higher top speed of210 km/h, while average fuel consumption has fallen from 12l/100km to an impressive 10.9 for the EU combined-cycle.Fiat LineaThe new Fiat Linea is powered by a new engine which has acapacity of 1368 cc, and four cylinders in line, with a bore of 72mm and stroke of 84 mm. There are four valves per cylinder,activated directly by two overhead camshafts. The enginewas developed paying particular attention to performanceand to fuel economy, two areas in which the Fiat Linea is theleader of the pack. Praise goes to the volumetric efficiencywhich has been optimised all through the operating range,the result of precise fluid-dynamic development of the entireintake system and the timing. The engine delivers 66 kW at6 000 rpm, and peak torque of 115 Nm at 4500 rpm. With thisengine, the Fiat Linea has a top speed of 165 km/h, and acceleratesfrom 0 to 100 km/h in 16.62 seconds. Consumption isamong the best in this class: 10 l/100 km in the urban cycle, 6.6l/100 km out of town and 7.8 l/100 km in the combined cycle.Grand Scénic secures five-star crash ratingThe new Grand Scénic has become the 12th model of theRenault range to secure EuroNCAP’s maximum five-starcrash-test rating, despite the stepping up of the demandsof the independent body’s evaluation criteria (side and rearimpact, child and adult protection, pedestrian protection,equipment) at the beginning of 2009.The Grand Scénic has been engineered to deliver exemplaryactive and passive safety performance, and featuresthe same equipment package as the rest of the Méganefamily: twin side impact sensors, an innovation first seen onLaguna III, six airbags, including two dual-chamber thorax/groin airbags, the Renault System for Restraint and Protection(comprising double pretensioners, load limiters anddual-chamber twin-stage adaptive front airbags), new-generationheadrests. It also comes with ABS and emergencybrake assist as standard, as well as ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) and CSV understeer control, depending on theversion.Cruze offers refined design and qualityThe new Chevrolet Cruze redefines the value propositionwith its class leading quality, superior design and spaciousstyling, both inside and out.The Chevrolet Cruze will be facing some tough competitionin its segment. However, this unbeatable value package,with its high safety levels, and uniquely designed exteriorand interior, is carried throughout the range, from the entrylevel83 kW 1.6 L through to top of the range 104 kW 1.8 LT6-speed version.Recommended retail selling prices:Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 L R174,192.00Chevrolet Cruze 1.6 Ls R186,126.00Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 Ls R204,133.00Chevrolet Cruze 1.8 LT A/T R 244,440.00Compiled by Stephen PenneyToday’s lesson..Don’t overuse the airconditioning or heater.Overheating the car andthen having to open thewindows is a waste ofenergy andlowers your fueleconomy.ON THE ROAD...

Grocott’s Mail Friday, 23 October 2009Beware of multi-million randscams in used car industrySTAFF REPORTERCriminals are coming up with increasinglydevious ways of parting used car buyersfrom their money. Darryl Jacobson,managing director of Burchmore’s car auctionswarns that buyers need to be extremely cautiouswhen purchasing a used car. “While mostused car buying experiences are good ones, weare hearing of new scams daily,” he reveals.“Generally they have one feature in common:the buyer is being offered an unbelievably gooddeal.”Jacobson says that these too-good-to-betruedeals need to be scrutinised over and overagain. “If you’re about to buy a used car at aridiculously low price, ask yourself why this ishappening to you. Chances are excellent thatyou’re about to be scammed,” he warns.The fraudsters are becoming increasinglycreative, and they may even pose as an agent orstaff member at a used car retailer or bank. Bewarned-these are professional crooks and manybuyers end up losing thousands of rands, andnever take delivery of their cars. The first stepis to select your vehicle supplier with extremecaution. “If you are dealing with an individual,and not a company, be extremely cautious. Bewary of any private-to-private sales. The risksare huge: hijackings, false checks, stolen cars…the list of potential problems is huge.

How long has thecompany been in business? Is it a memberof the Retail Motor Industry Organisation ofSouth Africa (RMI)? Is it part of a listed company?How much stock does the company haveon its floor? Does it have a good reputation?”Then make sure you only deal with salespeoplewho are clearly employees of large companies.The vehicle supplier should presentyou with all the necessary paperwork, includingan offer to purchase, the vehicle’s registrationpapers and (if available) a service book.When applying for finance, only deal with theprofessionals in the finance and insurance officeat the used car retailer. Above all, Jacobson saysthat buyers should take their time. “There is noneed to rush into a decision; a used car purchaseis an important decision,” he notes.Never ignore your gut feeling. “If a dealfeels fishy in any way, rather walk away,” headvises.Finally, avoid sensational ‘once in a lifetime’deals. “The fraudsters realise thatpeople will only take chances when the price istoo good to say no. If the deal looks too good tobe true, walk away.”2008 Opel Corsa 1.4 EssentiaVEER AWAY...

Veteran RicardoAbrahams, the attacker in chief, entertained the crowd withsome supreme strokes. Willows then batted against Swallowsand posted a mere 81 all out due to brilliant bowling by edmundJamieson 3 for 19 and Leclue Smith 2 for 22. Only Lucius Jordaanseemed to get the hang of the bowlers and provided someresistance against a fired up Swallows attack.Swallows then faced Makana Sona and posted a reasonable119 all out after a disastrous start, largely due to splendid inningsof stroke play by skipper, Luvane Daniels who knocked 37.he was ably supported by Devron Maarman.Willows lost the plot in chasing 133 against Makana Sona.but Swallows struggled in their run chase against them and thetarget of 82 seemed a good total as wickets fell at regular intervals.This one went to the wire as Swallows just managed to getthe win with only 1 over to spare. A very good and mature 15from elgin Kohl steered Swallows safely home and left Willowsin despair.Last up were Makana Sona in their run chase against Swallows.Second league Swallows were determined to make it 2 outof 2 against 1st league opposition and skittled Makana Sona outfor 44.
