Bladsy 4 Page 4 Drankverkope: Nuwe handelsure Die Munisipaliteit het wetgewing afgekondig wat voortaan die handelsdae en -ure met betrekking tot drankverkope in die Swartland sal reguleer. Liquor sales: New trading hours The Municipality has promulgated legislation that in future will regulate trading days and hours with regard to liquor sales in the Swartland. Raad keur nuwe begrotings goed Die munisipale raad van Munisipaliteit Swartland het tydens ʼn spesiale raadsvergadering gehou op 31 Mei 2012 sy kapitaalen bedryfsbegrotings ten bedrae van onderskeidelik R en R goedgekeur vir die boekjaar 1 Julie 2012 tot 30 Junie In die 2012/13 kapitaalbegroting en só ook in die begrotings van die daaropvolgende vier jaar, val die fokus op die daarstel en opgradering van dienste-infrastruktuur. Die spandering op basiese dienste-infrastruktuur sal oor die volgende vyf jaar soos volg daar uitsien:

2 Water: Meer as R21 miljoen sal spandeer word aan onder meer nuwe reservoirs vir Koringberg, Riebeek-Wes en Chatsworth, terwyl sowat R4 miljoen gebruik sal word om hoë-kwaliteit drinkwater vir Swartlanders te verseker. Riool: Sowat R77 miljoen, wat die voltooiing van Malmesbury se membraan-rioolwerke insluit, asook ʼn nuwe aanleg (van ongeveer R33 miljoen) vir die Riebeekvallei. Die rioolwerke in Koringberg, Chatsworth, Riverlands en Darling sal ook opgegradeer word. Elektrisiteit: R66,3 miljoen vir kapitale infrastruktuur, wat egter ook ongeveer R10 miljoen per jaar insluit vir die opgradering van bestaande oorhoofse netwerke, kabels en substasies. Strate en stormwater: R88,5 miljoen, waarvan R32 miljoen vir die herseël en instandhouding van paaie sal wees, met ʼn verdere bykans R43 miljoen om grondpaaie in dorpsgebiede van ʼn permanente bitumenlaag te voorsien. Council approves new budgets At a special council meeting held on 31 May 2012, the municipal council of Swartland Municipality approved its capital and operating budgets of R and R respectively for the financial year of 1 July 2012 to 30 June In the 2012/13 capital budget, as in the budgets for the following four years, the focus is on establishing and upgrading services infrastructure. The expenditure on basic services infrastructure over the next five years will be as follows: Water: More than R21 million will be spent on, among others, new reservoirs for Koringberg, Riebeek West and Chatsworth, while around R4 million will be used to ensure high-quality drinking water for Swartland residents. Sewerage: About R77 million, which includes the completion of Malmesbury s membrane sewerage disposal works, as well as a new plant (of approximately R33 million) for the Riebeek Valley. The sewerage disposal works in Koringberg, Chatsworth, Riverlands and Darling will also be upgraded. Electricity: R66,3 million for capital infrastructure, which also includes about R10 million per year for upgrading of existing overhead networks, cables and sub stations. Streets and storm water: R88,5 million, of which R32 million will be used for resurfacing and maintenance of roads, and a further R43 million to cover dirt roads in urban areas with a permanent bitumen layer. Tariff increases [FORMS PART OF MAIN ARTICLE; SUBHEADING ONLY] As from 1 July 2012 Swartland residents can expect an increase in their municipal accounts of between 7,5% and 12%, depending on whether the municipality or Eskom is the electricity distributor in the area concerned. Tariff increases will influence the municipal account as follows: Property rates on residential properties will decrease with 7,1% (from R to R in the Rand), whereas commercial/industrial rates and taxes are to increase by 6%. Over and above the R rebate on residential properties, a further discount of R will apply to the registered owners of residential properties as from the financial year in which they turn 65 years of age (subject to certain conditions); Electricity: an average tariff increase of 11,03% from R0.5686/kWh to R0.6314/kWh; Water: an increase of 12,5% (1 st 6 kl free). For usage between 7 kl and 30 kl residents will pay R8,19/kl. Refuse removal: to increase by 6,75% (from R77,51 per month to R82,74 per month) Sewerage: to increase by 15% (from R110,18 per month to R126,71 per month) In his budget speech, the Executive Mayor, Alderman Tijmen van Essen mentioned that the Swartland municipal account is still cheap when compared to those of other municipalities. In a survey of twenty Western Cape municipalities and based on a scenario of 30 kl water usage per month, electricity consumption of 1 000kWh per month and property rates on a property valued at R1 million, Swartland s monthly account is 3% cheaper at 97%, with 100% as the average, he said. Tariefverhogings [FORMS PART OF MAIN ARTICLE; SUBHEADING ONLY] Vanaf 1 Julie 2012 kan Swartlanders ʼn verhoging van tussen 7,5% en 12% in hul munisipale rekeninge verwag, afhangende daarvan of die Munisipaliteit of Eskom die elektrisiteitsverspreider in die betrokke gebied is. Tariefverhogings sal die munisipale rekening soos volg beïnvloed: Eiendomstariewe op residensiële eiendomme sal met 7,1% afneem (van R tot R in die Rand), terwyl kommersiële/industriële tariewe en belasting met 6% sal toeneem. Behalwe vir die R korting op residensiële eiendom sal ʼn verdere afslag van R geld vir die geregistreerde eienaars van residensiële eiendomme vanaf die boekjaar waarin hulle 65 jaar oud word (onderhewig aan bepaalde voorwaardes); Elektrisiteit: ʼn gemiddelde tariefverhoging van 11,03% (van R0.5686/kWh tot R0.6314/kWh); Water: ʼn verhoging van 12,5% (1 ste 6 kl gratis). Vir verbruik tussen 7 kl en 30 kl sal inwoners R8,19/kl betaal. Vullisverwydering: ʼn verhoging van 6,75% (van R77,51 per maand tot R82,74 per maand) Riolering: ʼn verhoging van 15% (van R110,18 per maand tot R126,71 per maand) In sy begrotingsrede het Uitvoerende Burgemeester, raadsheer Tijmen van Essen, opgemerk dat die Swartland se munisipale rekening nog goedkoop is in vergelyking met dié van ander munisipaliteite. In ʼn opname van twintig Wes-Kaapse munisipaliteite en op grond van ʼn scenario van 30 kl waterverbruik per maand, elektrisiteitsverbruik van 1 000kWh per maand en eiendomstariewe op ʼn eiendom wat teen R1 miljoen gewaardeer is, is Swartland se maandelikse rekening 3% goedkoper teen 97%, waar 100% die gemiddelde is, het hy gesê.

Hy sal deur mede-raadslede onthou word vir die ferm, maar objektiewe manier waarop hy vergaderings behartig en bestuur het. Dat hy ʼn vergadering op ʼn Vrydagmiddag as n onding bestempel het, sal seker nog deur baie raadslede (en amptenare) aangehaal word! Raadsheer Johnson se heengaan is ʼn groot verlies vir die Darling-gemeenskap, wat hy met ʼn onblusbare passie verteenwoordig het. Ons bid sy vrou, Grace, hul kinders en kleinkinders vertroosting toe. From the editor Speaker bid farewell [INSERT PHOTO of alderman Abe Johnson somewhere in this item] Alderman Abe Johnson, speaker of the Municipal Council since 2006, passed away on 17 May 2012 at the age of 62 after losing the battle against cancer. He will be remembered by his fellow councillors for the firm yet objective way in which he ran and managed meetings. His view that a Friday afternoon meeting is a monstrosity will surely be reiterated by many a councillor (and official)! Alderman Johnson s passing is a tremendous loss for the Darling community, which he represented with a burning passion. His wife, Grace, their children and grandchildren are in our prayers. * This newsletter is distributed quarterly to all Swartland residents.

Alhoewel dit winter is, word Swartlanders gemaan om water steeds spaarsamig te gebruik. Met die opstel van hierdie nuusbrief (einde Mei 2012) was die Voëlvleidam, die Swartland se vernaamste waterbron, 44% vol, vergeleke met 55% en 70% op dieselfde tydstip in onderskeidelik 2011 en Even though it is winter, Swartland residents are cautioned to continue using water frugally. At the time of compiling this newsletter (end of May 2012), the Voëlvlei Dam, from which the Swartland receives the bulk of its water, was 44% full compared to 55% and 70% at the corresponding time in 2011 and 2010 respectively. The Constitutional Court recently delivered judgment in favour of Swartland Municipality by ruling that provincial landuse legislation and the national law in terms of which mining rights are granted by the Minister for Mineral Resources serve different purposes in terms of the constitutional mandates allocated to the different spheres of government. The judgment is clear: No mining operations may be carried out on land that is not appropriately rezoned in terms of the Land-use Planning Ordinance (LUPO) and thus before the necessary approvals are obtained from the local authority. Die Grondwetlike Hof het onlangs uitspraak ten gunste van die Munisipaliteit Swartland gelewer deur te beslis dat provinsiale grondgebruikswetgewing en die nasionale wet ingevolge waarvan mynregte deur die minister van minerale hulpbronne toegestaan word nie dieselfde doel dien ten opsigte van die grondwetlike mandate wat aan die verskillende staatsfere toegeken is nie. Die uitspraak is duidelik: Geen mynbedrywighede mag plaasvind op grond wat nie na behore ingevolge die beplanningsordonnansie oor grondgebruik (LUPO) gehersoneer is en dus voordat die nodige goedkeuring van die plaaslike owerheid verkry is nie. Met die oog op die nasionale verkiesings wat in 2014 sal plaasvind, kan inwoners van die Swartland wat nog nie op die kieserslys geregistreer is nie, asook kiesers wat sedert die 2011 verkiesings van adres verander het, by die munisipale kantore in Malmesbury aandoen om hulself te registreer. Navrae: Juliana Lategan With a view to the national elections to be held in 2014, Swartland residents who are not yet registered on the voters roll as well as voters who have changed address since the 2011 elections can report to the municipal offices in Malmesbury to be registered. Enquiries: Juliana Lategan Customers are to note that the Payment Association of South Africa (PASA) has reduced the maximum amount that can be paid by cheque from R5 million to R from 1 July This move is aimed at boosting payments via electronic funds transfer and to curb fraud.

4 Klante moet daarop let dat die Betalingsvereniging van Suid-Afrika (Pasa) vanaf 1 Julie 2012 die maksimum bedrag wat per tjek betaal kan word van R5 miljoen na R verlaag het. Hierdie stap is daarop gemik om betalings deur middel van elektroniese fondsoordrag aan te moedig en bedrog te verminder. Go Green! competition: Win a Blackberry Curve 8520 or free services!

Junior Stadsraad klaar groen Tydens die Junior Stadsraad se bosberaad wat vanaf 21 tot 23 Maart 2012 by Goedgedacht plaasgevind het, het junior stadsraadslede daad by die woord gesit om momentum te gee aan die Munisipaliteit se Gaan Groen -inisiatief. Groepwerk, ʼn belangrike bestanddeel van die junior raad se sukses, was die hoofbestanddeel toe stadsraadslede die Wonderbag-tegnologie ingespan het om hul aandete voor te berei. Gelukkig was dit nie ʼn geval van te veel kokke bederf die bry nie!

5 Junior Council is green At the Junior Council s lekgotla held at Goedgedacht from 21 to 23 March 2012, Junior Council members suited the action to the word in order to give momentum to the Municipality s Go Green initiative. Teamwork, an important ingredient of the Junior Council s success, was also the main ingredient when councillors utilised Wonderbag technology to prepare their dinner. Luckily the adage Too many cooks spoil the broth didn t hold true!

(Photo: Die Courant) [INSERT PHOTO: BURGEMEESTERS] Swartland Municipality achieves Blue Drop status In the third year of the Department of Water Affair s Blue Drop Certification Assessment, i.e. 2012, Swartland Municipality (along with the West Coast Municipality) managed to obtain Blue Drop status, with a score of 95,24% in respect of both Malmesbury and Moorreesburg. The Blue Drop Certification Programme gives recognition to excellence in the management of water provision, through an assessment of the following performance areas: Water Safety Planning (35%) Process Management and Control (10%) Drinking Water Quality Compliance (30%) Management, Accountability and Local Regulation (10%) Asset Management (15%) In order to be awarded Blue Drop status a minimum average score of 95% must be achieved for the above performance areas. Swartland Municipality achieved 68.60% in 2010, 92.89% in 2011 and 95.24% in 2012 and currently ranks 10 th out of 25 municipalities in the Western Cape. Challenge The municipality realises that the required minimum score was only marginally achieved, and that a major effort is thus required to improve the score and maintain the Blue Drop status. To ensure that the Municipality increases its Blue Drop score and thus ensure that the community is provided with drinking water of the highest standard, an amount of R4 million has been approved for this purpose in the municipality s multi-year budget. The Department of Water Affairs Blue Drop Report for 2012 is available on [INSERT PHOTO BLUE DROP AWARD]

6 Munisipaliteit Swartland behaal Blou Druppel-status In die derde jaar van die Departement van Waterwese se Blou Druppel-sertifiseringsbeoordeling, d.w.s. 2012, het die Munisipaliteit Swartland (tesame met die Weskus Munisipaliteit) dit reggekry om Blou Druppel-status te behaal, met ʼn punt van 95,24% vir sowel Malmesbury as Moorreesburg. Die Blou Druppel-sertifiseringsprogram gee erkenning aan uitnemendheid in die bestuur van watervoorsiening deur middel van ʼn assessering van die volgende prestasiegebiede: Waterveiligheidsbeplanning (35%) Prosesbestuur en -beheer (10%) Nakoming ten opsigte van drinkwatergehalte (30%) Bestuur, toerekenbaarheid en plaaslike regulering (10%) Batebestuur (15%) Ten einde Blou Druppel-status te behaal, moet ʼn minimum gemiddelde punt van 95% vir die bogenoemde prestasiegebiede behaal word. Die Munisipaliteit Swartland het 68.60% in 2010, 92.89% in 2011 en 95.24% in 2012 behaal en is tans 10de uit 25 munisipaliteite in die Wes-Kaap. Uitdaging Die Munisipaliteit besef dat die vereiste minimum punt net-net behaal is en dat ʼn bewuste poging dus nodig is om die punt te verbeter en Blou Druppel-status te behou. Ten einde te verseker dat die Munisipaliteit sy Blou Druppel-punt verbeter en sodoende verseker dat die gemeenskap van drinkwater van die hoogste standaard voorsien word, is ʼn bedrag van R4 miljoen vir hierdie doel in die Munisipaliteit se veeljarige begroting goedgekeur.

BLADSY 4 PAGE 4 Nuwe ure vir die verkoop van drank Die munisipale verordening op drankhandelsdae en -ure is op 20 April 2012 in die Provinsiale Koerant afgekondig en het ook op gemelde datum in werking getree. Alle nuwe dranklisensies wat vanaf 20 April deur die Wes-Kaapse Drankowerheid goedgekeur word ten opsigte van persele wat binne die jurisdiksiegebied van Munisipaliteit Swartland geleë is, sal aan die handelsure in die nuwe verordening gebonde wees. Hieruit volg dat bestaande gelisensieerde persele se drankure, soos wat dit tans in hul dranklisensies vervat word, sal bly geld totdat ʼn hernuwingsaansoek ten opsigte van sodanige perseel deur die Drankraad goedgekeur word. Teen Desember 2012 moet alle gelisensieerdes om die hernuwing van hul lisensies aansoek doen. Die verordening onderskei tussen drankverkope vir verbruik BUITE gelisensieerde persele (met ander woorde waar drank verkoop word om weg te neem ) en drankverkope vir verbruik OP gelisensieerde persele. Waar drank verkoop word vir verbruik weg vanaf die perseel, geld die volgende: Gelisensieerdes, met die uitsondering van wynmakerye en wynwinkels, mag drank verkoop (1) vanaf Maandag tot Vrydag vanaf 09:00 tot 20:00 en (b) op Saterdae vanaf 09:00 tot 17:00, maar nie op Sondae en geslote dae nie; Gelisensieerde wynmakerye en wynwinkels mag drank verkoop vanaf Maandag tot Saterdag vanaf 09:00 tot 20:00 en op Sondag vanaf 09:00 tot 17:00, maar nie op geslote dae nie. Vir die omskrywing van gelisensieerdes, wynmakerye en wynwinkels en geslote dae, raadpleeg asb. die verordening wat op die munisipale webtuiste beskikbaar is. Waar drank verkoop word vir verbruik op ʼn gelisensieerde perseel, geld die ure soos in die tabel hieronder uiteengesit. Met betrekking tot kamerdiensfasiliteite by hotelle of gaste-akkommodasie, asook die bediening van vonkelwyn, geld spesiale bepalings waarvoor die verordeninge ook geraadpleeg kan word. New liquor trading hours The municipal by-law on liquor trading days and hours was promulgated in the Provincial Gazette on 20 April 2012 and came into effect on the same date. As from 20 April, all new liquor approved by the Western Cape Liquor Authority with regard to premises situated in jurisdiction of Swartland Municipality will be bound to the trading hours in the new by-law. It follows that the trading hours of existing licensed premises, as currently contained in their liquor, will remain in effect until a renewal application for such premises is approved by the Liquor Board. By December 2012 all licensees should apply for renewal of their. The by-law distinguishes between liquor sales for consumption OFF licensed premises (in other words where liquor is sold to be taken away ) and liquor sales for consumption ON licensed premises.
