Do you know that all estate agents should be qualified and hold a current Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC) with the governement regulatory body called the Estate Agents Affairs Board? (EAAB). Qualified agents carry their FFC’s with pride, renew them annually and attend on-going training, which they pay for, in order to get their annual Continuous Professional Development points (CPD). Without attaining the required number of points per annum, the FFC will not be renewed.

Many Estate Agents do not register with the EAAB. The consequence of this is that should facts be misrepresented, monies be stolen, etc, causing you financial loss, then you as the Seller or Buyer will not have recourse to the EAAB to refund your loss, as the Agent would not have Fidelity cover in place. It is therefore wise to ask the Agent to provide proof that they are registered with the EAAB by either producing a copy of the FFC, or the ID card that goes with it. As a private individual, you can also log onto the Estate Agency Affairs Board's website where you will find a list of all registered Estate Agents as well as registered Estate Agencies/offices.

Please note that only an Agent who holds a valid FFC may complete the required documentation for an Agreement of Sale. In terms of the regulations, an intern Agent (an agent undergoing their first year of training) who does not hold a full FFC must ensure that a qualified agent,who has held a FFC for more than three years, accompanies them whilst they complete the Agreement of Sale.

The number of registered Estate Agents has decreased from about 88,000 in 2008 to less than 28,000 in 2016 highlighting the fact that most Agents in South Africa are not qualified. It is in your interest to check that your Agent is registered with the Board, as any person who is not registered cannot guarantee a successful transfer of your property. We, at Dormehl Property Group, MIDLANDS, are mindful that for most people the buying or selling of their home represents the largest financial decision of their lives.

Up until 2008, it was very easy for a person to become a qualified Estate Agent. All that was required was for that person to operate as a candidate/intern agent for twelve months or to write the old Board exam. This has now changed, and for the better. All new prospective Agents need to undergo a twelve month apprenticeship as an Intern Estate Agent (NQF4), followed by writing the new Professional Designation Exemption exam. (PDE4) before being considered a full status Agent.

The EAAB also requires that all Conveyancers must comply by only working with Agents that have a valid FFC , thus weeding out any possible fraud and foul-play in the industry. When Conveyancers allow unskilled/unqualified estate Agents to sell property, this means that qualified Agents who have spent time & money to remain qualified and up-to-date, share in the bad reputation that shrouds the industry. So, ask if your Agent & Conveyancer are complying with the regulations? Do you know that an unqualified estate agent is NOT entitled to commission and you can claim the commission back from them.

We at Dormehl Property Group Midlands go further than just being compliant with EAAB regulations, we are also compliant with the other professional real estate bodies such as:

NAMA (National Association of Managing Agents)

REBOSA (Real Estate Agencies Board of South Africa)

IEASA (Institute of Estate Agents of South Africa)

As part of our integrated learning curriculum, Howick Pre-Primary School chose to support National Water Month. As part of this learning journey, the children have had many wonderful opportunities to support our environment.

These activities included visiting our local Wetlands to learn all about frogs as well as learning all about trees and forests and the importance of saving them. To end off our Forest and Jungle theme, our Chameleon, Owl and Ladybird groups planted an indigenous tree in our local park

.
We would like to say a VERY BIG thank you to Gareth-John Keough from Gardenatomy for donating a beautiful Bush Willow Tree and for teaching us all about how to plant a tree correctly so that it is able to grow big and strong!

8 April 2017 – KwaZulu-Natal mountain biker Stuart Marais blitzed the tacky and slippery four-kilometre cross-country course during the second round of the 2017 KZNMTB Provincial XCO Cup Series at St. Ives in the Midlands in an incredible time of 1:15:43 today.

The in-form rider posted consistent lap times of 11:30, 10:44, 10:43, 10:44, 10:43, 10:38, 10:39 – the traits of a superb cross-country racer (the first lap featured an extended loop). Matthew Wilkinson and Brennan Anderson finished the seven-lap race in second and third places in 1:18:17 and 1:18:33 respectively.

“I had a goal that I’d like to do an under 11-minute lap, and I achieved that so I’m very happy about it,” he said. “I knew it was going to be a fast course and the only way I could push it without any traffic in front of me was to take the lead. The rain last night and the two batches before we raced really settle the dry track from Friday and made it super fast and it flowed so nicely.”

Taking about his goals for the year, Marais’ focus is on the cross-country races with some World Championships being the ultimate goal. “The African Continental Championships in Mauritius in May is first up, then I’ll be heading to Czech Republic and Germany for the two World Cups. Then, it is a build up towards the SA Champs in July. Hopefully I’ll be able to compete in one or two more World Cups and hopefully make the team selection for the World Champs.”

With his focus currently firmly fixed on the short-course racing format of XCO, Marais will embark on some stage races towards the end of the year after the XCO season is over.

Hilton College pupil and cross-country newbie Jordan Wisdom (17) absolutely dominated the B-Batch race with an emphatic victory over his chasers Sam Moore, Werner Moolman, Piers Morgan and Reece McCallum in 1:29:35. With only one other race under his belt this year, that being the Sugar Rush Classic, Wisdom showed immense promise in his newfound cycle racing discipline.

“I was really chuffed with how I did today,” said Wisdom. “I’ve never raced a cross-country before and didn't know what to expect out here. I took off at the beginning and managed to stay in the lead the whole way. I only started riding properly about six weeks ago with Absolute Motion.”

When talking about the course conditions, Wisdom said, “In the morning when I rode the test lap, it was really muddy and I’m glad that the C-Batch cleared it up a bit. The rock garden was really tough, and I went straight over the big rock – the straightest line possible. I’m motivated now and want to race the next one and maybe the SA Cup in Cascades, I just need to up my training.”

Sam Moore (Youth) finished second in the batch in a time of 1:30:40, while Werner Moolman (Veteran) came third in 1:30:59.

Veteran Women’s racer Natalie Bergstrom is back in action on the XCO circuit, recording the win in a time of 1:31:42 and finishing sixth overall in the batch. Christie-Leigh Hearder finished second, in 1:33:00.

Jonathan Watts and Jordan Bold dominated the C-Batch race, passing through the start/finish area on each lap neck-in-neck and both recording a finish time of 56 minutes 31 seconds. Barring any incidents on the course, it was going to be one or the other that took the victory, and it was the extra “Watts” that counted as his wheel was ahead by a whisker. Watts’ final lunge across the line is what probably sealed the deal.

Speaking about his win, Kloof resident Watts said that it was always going to be a tough race against a rider like Bold. “We both pushed each other the whole way, our racing is always close like this. I felt pretty strong and I wasn’t sure if I would get the win at the end. We both came around the last corner at the same time and it was pretty close. I came to practice this track yesterday and it was quite dry, but it rained last night so it got a bit slippery and muddy. I love this track, especially the rock garden and the lovely singletrack is my favourite part.”

Mark Potgieter, a Master category rider, finished in third place overall in 58:49.

Sabine Thies, hailing from Wartburg, was the strongest female rider on the day, finishing in fourth position overall in a time of 59:53. Thies represents the Youth category, while fellow Youth Megan Bircher and Sub Junior Chloe Bateson finished second and third in 1:01:03 and 1:02:33 respectively.

This season’s new batching format has created added excitement to the XCO races. The participants’ no longer race against their age group, but also race against those with similar strength and riding ability, regardless of age. This format offers fresh new competition to those used to winning their respective age groups in the past.

The next event of the 2017 KZNMTB Provincial XCO Cup Series is round number three, which takes place at Cascades MTB Park in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday 3 June. Keep an eye on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/KZNMTB/ for details and information closer to the time.

Howick - With the 23rd edition of the Sappi Karkloof Classic Trail Festival looming large on the trail running and MTB calendar at the end of May, economists and tourism experts have placed the value of recreational outdoor tourism to the Karkloof local economy at R234 million.

Economic spend figures were first derived from research at the 2015 edition of the Sappi Karkloof Trail Festival, using data gleaned from 416 overnight visitors and 1183 day visitors to the event. Results showed that the direct spend into the local economy on the weekend was estimated at R6 017 012, with the broader economic value to the area being R12 million.

To further understand the economic impact of recreational access to Sappi land, studies were performed at the end of 2016 by Tourism KwaZulu-Natal. Researchers concluded that the sport tourism direct value was estimated at R77 million, with the indirect and broader economic value reaching R234 million.

In other words, mountain biking and the highly regarded trail networks in particular are impacting the area positively, through direct and indirect spending by mountain biking tourists.

When compared to similar research conducted in 2013, the study showed that more of the respondents were choosing to stay overnight in the area, even though 90% of the participants were from KwaZulu-Natal.

For Sappi, investing in a high profile event like the Sappi Karkloof Classic Trail Festival creates a direct economic injection into the region’s economy in addition to showcasing their plantations and their important environmental initiatives.

"Part of running a sustainable business is managing different types of capital, one of which is social and relationship capital," said Sappi's Communications Manager for Forests, Zelda Schwalbach.

'By virtue of being one of South Africa’s largest landowners, we have many neighbours and stakeholders and it makes sense to engage with communities, including the mountain biking community. It’s helpful for us to have more eyes and ears on the ground in our forests, and we’re pleased that the public can spend time doing what they love on our land through the Sappi MTB Project.

"Investing in the Sappi Karkloof Classic Trail Festival is important, as the event allows a showcase of the trails and land, and the positive experience brings people back with their friends and family to the area, thus supporting the local economy” added Schwalbach.

Tourism KwaZulu-Natal commissioned the research into the value of the Karkloof day and overnight visitors, and found it to be a good example of the economic impact of sport tourism.

"Events play a critical role in growing the economy directly and indirectly. Events like this one have a huge economic impact as the employment opportunities are created for the local residents and local businesses benefit. An event of this nature can generate almost 12 million over one weekend," said Ndabo Khoza, the Chief Executive Officer of Tourism KwaZulu-Natal.

"Events that are hosted on an annual basis have a greater potential to create continuous and sustainable economic growth for local economies as well as for the province.

"Sports tourism is a key component of events tourism as well as destination promotion. Sports Tourism assists with seasonality within the sector," added Khoza.

"Sports enthusiasts are always willing to travel anytime and anywhere to see their favourite team or to follow a particular sport that they like regardless of the season. Sports travellers can take an opportunity between events to explore tourist attraction around the area.

"Furthermore, they are likely to take a token back home as reminder of a trip that they took, which then serves as a compelling marketing tool for the destination. If they have enjoyed themselves in that destination, they are more likely to come back as a leisure tourist," Khoza pointed out.

He added that the growth of the event, at a time when others are dwindling, was due to a number of key factors.

"It is not surprising that the event has grown as much as it has because it is very well organized and takes place in a stunning part of the country. Also mountain biking and trail running are growing at a rapid pace in terms of being a sport and also a leisure activity.

"The Sappi Karkloof Classic Trail Festival is a prime example of an event that leaves a lasting legacy in the region in which it is held. Not only does the event have a positive socio-economic impact on the local economy, but it also has created a number of permanent and temporary employment opportunities.

"The fact that the trails can be used all year round shows that the event has definitely created a legacy as it has provided much needed revenue to a number of local residents. Indirectly, the trails also contribute to the local economy through recreational riders as many of these buy food in town or even stay overnight," said Khoza.

"Events such as the Sappi Karkloof Classic Trail Festival thrive on corporate sponsorships and if these sponsorships and investments can continue to drive the growth of the event, it is extremely likely that the event will continue to have a very positive economic impact on the local economy," concluded Khoza.

Fifty years ago Mrs Cronje of Amberfield in Howick purchased a handmade chess table as a gift for her now late husband at a church fundraiser, hoping he may take up the game. Time passed as it does and as Mrs Cronje was about to do a clear out of unused items she spotted a news article in the Village Talk sharing news of Grace College pupil, Cole Baker’s recent chess win. Mrs Cronje contacted the Village Talk Editor, Peta Lee who kindly put Mrs Cronje in touch with Grace College. Mrs Cronje had decided to present this table to Cole.

The gift delighted Cole who has been playing chess since age five. It has taken 50 years but finally this table and the pieces will be used with enthusiasm and prowess.

A successful day - 400 children fed!!!!

With 2 huge pots of Briyani we headed over to the open lot next to the Howick library to feed what we thought would be 500 hungry orphans/homeless children. What greeted us was a group of only about 120.... What a disappointment!!!!

BUT not a team that is easily defeated, we loaded our pots, ladles and Easter eggs and headed to Howick West. What a turn around!! We finished the 2 pots of briyani, 10 boxes of Easter eggs, 2 huge drums of juice and a very, very large bag of popcorn - all in 30 minutes.

A huge thank you to our amazing team for being so willing to spend their holiday afternoon helping out, the Sookdeo family for again cooking the amazing meal, to our friend Jax for making sure the children could play soccer after all and to Merrivale SUPERSPAR for sponsoring 7 boxes of Easter eggs.

A very positive and rewarding Human Rights Day!
