Thieves target pensionersMAHWELERENG - The Mahwelereng po-lice warns residents to be on the lookout for a silver grey BMW with three occu-pants, two men and a woman, pretending to be officials from the department of Labour.

The suspects are dressed as police officials and are in possession of an ap-pointment card as proof of employement.

They target pensioners by promising to assist them in making special arrange-ment for outstanding fees and then make off with their hard earned money.

'Rioters are not part of us' - says ANC manMOKOPANE - Mahwelereng was a tinder box on Sunday as heavily armed police fired shots at crowds in an attempt to prevent members of the Mogalakwena Residents Association (MRA) from gather-ing for a meeting at the Piet Pale Sports Stadium in this Mokopane township.

“We gathered in peace, minding our own business when Public Order Polic-ing (POP) members suddenly came and provoked us,” MRA spokesperson, Percy Nketsi told Maimane on Monday. Several residents sustained injuries from rubber bullets and had to be rushed to hospital.

“This situation is escalating into a war between members of the community and the police,” warned DA Parliamentary leader, Mmusi Maimane shortly after his arrival in Mokopane on Monday.

“Police’s repeated violent behaviour since the ongoing war between ANC fac-tions for control of the municipality started some months ago is an unconstitutional act. Residents are attempting to take back their power and I will fight for them to do so,” Maimane said on Monday.

But ANC regional chairperson, Morris Mataboge, on Wednesday evening told Northern News that the ANC is not divided and that the uprise against the current mayor and Mogalakwena council is the work of a political faction no longer part of the ANC.

“If these people want to challenge the democratically elected leadership of this municipality, they should join a political party and do so at the voting polls,” he said.

Mataboge added that William Kekana has been suspended as municipal man-ager and that the provincial department for cooperative governance, housing and traditional affairs has, on request of the

newly elected council, ceded a person from provincial office to act as municipal manager and get service delivery back on track.

Service delivery was at the core of Sun-day’s protest action as large parts of Mogal-akwena has been without water last week. Refuse is also continuing to pile up on the streets of Mahwelereng.

The MRA blames the controversial mayor, Thlalefi Mashemaite and the councillors cur-rently in office.

Mataboge confirmed that the new council has re-elected Mashemaite as mayor. On the issue of corruption allegations against Mash-emaite and some of his colleagues implicated in a forensic audit by KPMG, Mataboge said the ANC wants the Mogalakwena council to appoint an independent auditing firm of simi-

lar repute to KPMG to analise and investigate both the KPMG report and the Auditor Gen-eral’s report on Mogalakwena.

“The ANC does not condone corruption and if an independent party looks into these reports and finds councillors have acted wrongfully, steps must be taken against them. But we have to be fair and cannot act on a report commissioned by an individual who may have had an axe to grind with one or more councillors.”

One thing the ANC and DA seem to be in agreement on was that it was unaccept-able for the MRA to interfere with education. Maimane took the organisation to task for allegedly advising schools to close this week as “they feared for the safety of learners and teachers.”.

LEPHALALE - Lephalale Municipality hosted an awards ceremony at the Seleka Community Hall last Friday. Schools, educators and learners who excelled in education during 2014 were honoured for their dedication.

As part of his key note address, Lep-halale mayor Jack Maeko reminded the community that improving matric results is a collective effort. He thanked Exxaro for the part it plays in the winter school programme, which is aimed at assisting learners in preparing for their exams. He encouraged learners, especially those 10 who received Mayoral Bursaries to study hard and to make a success of their tertiary education.

At the event it was announced that two schools in the Palala cluster, Thabang and Seoketseng High Schools, managed to obtain a 100% pass rate. This is the third successive year that Seoketseng obtained a

Excellence in education awarded100% pass rate.

The best three performing schools in the Palala Cluster were:

In the first place Thabang High School - with a 100% pass, highest percentage Bach-elors at 66.67%, and with 3.17% distinc-tions. What makes Thabang’s achievement more remarkable is that it achieved its perfor-mance in spite of vacant teachers’ posts due to its remoteness. The school reached this achievement without a Maths educator for about three months, yet six of the nine Grade 12’s achieved Bachelor passes.

Second was Ellisras High School with highest pass (89.13%) for the highest enrol-ment of learners (142) and with 11,27% (112) the highest number of distinctions. Third wasTielelo High school with a pass rate of 84.38%. This was the school’s first Grade 12 group.

The best improvement in Matric results was obtained by Mathulasera High School.

MARAPONG - The Democratic Alliance visited Marapong on Friday to shed light on problems regarding water, electricity and sewage systems.

Desiree van der Walt, from the DA's provincial office arranged for two of her colleagues, Lance Greyling - DA shadow minister of elec-tricity and Leon Basson for water and sewage to visit Marapong with her to in-vestigate the rencent water and electricity problems. Various problems such as houses built under Eskom powerlines, disfunctional sewage systems and even a reservoir for water that is not being used properly

DA tries to shed light on problem areashas been identified. The responsible parties within the DA has undertaken to see to it that action is taken and that these problems are addressed as soon as possible.

Win at the OKOK Maroela Square recently held a colouring competition for children as part of its back-to-school campaign. The winners were announced on 13 January and included Dane’ Marnitz, David Maruma, Modise Wa Modise and Erica Fourie.

LEPHALALE - Die inwoner van ‘n huis in Krulblaar-straat in Onverwacht, Lephalale, is Maandag saam met haar tuinwerkers en bediende deur drie mans geklee in polisie baadjies oorval en beroof.

Die twee tuinwerkers is glo in die huis ingedwing waar hulle saam met die bediende en die vrou (sy wil nie haar naam gedoem hê nie) met kabelstroppe vas-gebind is. Die rowers het glo aanhoudend aangedring op geld en die huis geplunder op soek na kontant.

Die vrou het daarin geslaag om die deur van die

Rowers dra glo Polisie uniform Ten years for rapeMAHWELERENG - Elias Mafa (21) was found guilty of rape in the regional court last week and received a 10-year jail sen-tence.

The man offered a woman a room to sleep after a night out. He left her to sleep at 22:30, but returned later the same night where he raped the sleeping victim. She managed to free herself and flee to find her friends. They called the police and charged the man. Mahwelereng police hope that the strict sentence will serve as a warning and discourage violence against women.

vertrek waarin hulle vasgebind is toe te druk en te sluit. Die tuiniers het toe ‘n buitedeur in dieselfde vertrek oop-gebreek en al vier mense het na die bure gevlug vanwaar die polisie ontbied is.

Die drie verdagtes in ‘n silwer Volkswagen GTI op die vlug geslaan. Die Buurtwag se reaksiegroep en die Polisie was vining op die toneel en kort daarna is die paaie wat uit die dorp gaan afgebaken en is daar gesoek na die motor. Ongelukkig was al die pogings onsuksesvol en is daar teen druktyd nog geen arrestasies gemaak nie.

LEPHALALE - Die twee malaria-verwante sterfte gevalle in Lephalale oor die Desember vakansie het weer vrae laat ontstaan oor die Malaria status van Lephalale.

Volgens Emily Molokomme, woordvoerder van Ellisras Hospitaal, is twee buitelanders oor die Desember vakansie in dié hospitaal aan die siekte dood. Altesaam vyf pasiënte is in Desember in dié hospitaal vir malaria opgeneem.

“Dit is meestal onwettige immigrante wat met Malaria gediagnoseer word, omrede hulle deur die rivier die land inkom en soms vir dae langs die rivier oornag en dan ‘n maklike teiken vir muskiete is," sê Molokomme. Sy is bekommerd dat pasiënte nie betyds mediese behandeling ontvang nie, aangesien die simptome baie soos gewone griep s'n lyk.

Dr. Willie Barnard, ‘n mediese praktisyn in Lephalale meen dat daar nie werklik rede tot kommer is nie. “Lephalale is nie ‘n malaria-gebied nie, maar ek het al oor die jare gevalle behandel waar mense wat in die Ellisras gedeelte van die dorp woon, wel malaria opgedoen het. Die malaria-voetspoor wissel jaarliks en hang grootliks af van die reënvalsyfers. Dokters in Lephalale besef dat daar wel ‘n minimale risiko vir malaria in ons gebied is. Omdat ons so naby aan die grens woon, behoort dokters te toets vir die

Malaria bron van kommer in Lephalalemalaria-virus sodra simptome geïdentifiseer word.”

Die simptome volgens Dr Johan Landman, ook van Lephalale, is: erge hoofpyn, naarheid, lyfseer en hoë koors (40 grade en hoër) wat sporadies voorkom. Vol-gens Landman is dit ‘n mite dat malaria net tydens hoë koors geïdentifiseer kan word. Hy meen dokters in Lep-halale behoort as ‘n reël te toets vir dié virus.

Dr Barnard is van mening dat Lephalale van die beste laboratorium tegnikusse in die land het as dit kom by die identifisering van malaria. Hy meen dat die meeste mense malaria deur die sogenaamde reisigers muskiet opdoen. Dit is malaria-draende muskiete wat vanuit malaria gebiede in Lephalale in bagasie of voer-tuie van toeriste en immigrante aankom.

Beide Dr Barnard en Landman meen dat inwoners wat malaria gebiede besoek die voorgeskrewe medikasie moet neem. Hoewel die medikasie nie altyd 100% ef-fektief is nie, sal dit die proses vertraag en teenwerk. Wanneer jy in ‘n malaria-gebied gaan kuier, moet jy seker maak dat jy nie tussen 22:00 en 07:00 buite is nie. Dit is volgens Dr Barnard juis dan dat die muskiet wyfie, wat die virus dra, aktief is.

Volgens Francois van den Berg, Voorsitter van Agri Lephalale word daar nie tans in die Lephalale gebied teen malaria gespuit nie. Die Departement van gesond-heid was nie beskikbaar vir kommentaar nie.

MOKOPANE - Solly Maïle (21) of Mokopane was sentenced to 18 years in prison after being found guilty on a charge of murder and theft of a 23-year-old victim in January 2014. His victim, Naseerah Ismail, was stabbed to death in her home in Bezuidenhoutstreet.

Maïle was sentenced at the Mokopane Magistrates court last week.

Constable Stanley Mphahlele was applauded by Provin-cial police commissioner, Lt. Gen. M. Masemola, for good investigation conducted.

LEPHALALE - Dennis Phiri (35) died after he apparently lost control of the truck he was driving on Tuesday night at about 23:30. He was trapped inside the cabin of the truck behind the steering wheel, while his cousin, Robert Banda (34), survived the accident with minor injuries and scratches. Banda says that he is not sure exactly what caused the accident but that he is saddened by the fact that Dennis died on the scene. They were on their way from Johannesburg to Zambia where they had to deliver a load of tissue paper, says warrant officer Frans Mokoena of the Lep-halale Police.

Motors / CarsMaintenance is the key to happy drivingA well-maintained vehicle not only

speaks volumes about the owner, but will protect the owner on the road.

Many accidents caused by vehicle failure can be prevented.

It is best to leave the servicing of your vehicle in the hands of trained automotive professionals / mechanics. They have the knowledge and tools to diagnose and correct problems and to put you on the road to safe, fuel-efficient driving. Preventive maintenance by the driver might however also help avoid vehicle breakdown.

Aspects that require maintenance are:- Air filter: Check monthly and replace it

when it becomes dirty or as part of a tune -up. It is easy to reach, right under the big metal ‘lid’, in a carbureted engine; or in a rectangular box at the forward end of the air in a duct hose assembly.

- Alternator - Battery: Remove the earth strap (usually

the negative pole) on a battery to avoid acti-vating the starter if you accidentally touch an open wire when repairing the starter or work-ing in the battery area.

- Brakes / Brake Fluid: Check the brake fluid monthly. First wipe dirt from the brake master cylinder reservoir lid. Pry off the re-tainer clip and remove the lid or unscrew the plastic lid, depending on which type your ve-hicle has. If you need fluid, add the improved type and check for possible leaks throughout the system. Do not overfill.

- Carburetor - Distributor - Engine Oil: Neglecting to replace worn-

out oil results in poor engine performance, higher fuel consumption and possibly severe engine damage. To prevent engine deteriora-tion, it is imperative that the engine main-tains the amount of oil it is programmed to receive. Check the oil after every fill up. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean. Insert it fully and remove it again. If it is low, add oil. To maintain peak performance, the oil should

be changed every three months. When doing general maintenance or repairs never over fill the sump with oil as this will prematurely damage the oil seals and result in engine oil leaks. When fitting a new oil filter, a light smear of engine oil on the oil filter rubber seal will ensure the vital sealing surface re-quirement when hand tightening the oil filters housing to engine mating block.

- Exhaust & Silencer Exhaust: Have the exhaust system checked if it sounds noisy or rattles. Look underneath for loose or broken exhaust clamps and supports.

- Fan & Belt: Inspect belts and hoses smoothly. Replace glazed, worn or frayed belts. Replace bulging, rotten or brittle hoses and tighten clamps. When replacing a miss-ing or perished fan belt ensure that the ten-sion setting at the longest run between the engines pulleys is about 10 to 12mm (Free tension play)

- Front Wheel CV Joints/ Wheel bear-ing kits: When undertaking repairs to wheel bearing kits use only one sachet of grease

for both wheel applications keep the other grease pack for future use - one pack is more than sufficient to pack both wheels

- Fuel Line & Fuel Pump - Gearbox Oil - High –Tension (HT) leads Ignition Coil Lights: Check that all lights are working

and replace any broken or burned out bulbs. - Radiator

Water: If your engine uses water for cool-ing, take care to ensure that it is regularly changed.

- Shock Absorbers: Shock absorbers should always be replaced in pairs (or all four) ensuring that both the front and/or rear shocks are in the same condition and operate on equal settings on the same axle.

- Spark Plugs: In an attempt to rectify er-ratic idling after replacing your vehicles spark plugs, ensure that the plug leads are secure on both ends of the plug lead and that the leads are not perished.

- Tyres- Mechanical irregularities will

show up early on tyre wear patterns. It is important to have professionals check your wheel alignment and balance.

- Tyre Pressure: The required amount of air pressure needs to be maintained if your car is to get the right mileage and pick-up.

- Clutch Kits: Worn individual clutch plates pressure plates and/or release bearings should not be seen as quick fix loose unit repairs.

- Wiper Blades: It is recommended you change your wiper blades every six months, even if they haven’t been used very often. The rubber deteriorates over time when ex-posed to the atmosphere.

Seat Belts: Keep seat belts clean.

Identifying aspects in need of maintenanceThe best and most efficient method of

knowing about your car and keeping track of it is through the owner’s manual which provides complete information on how to go about it. You can inspect your car every time you enter it, or on a daily or weekly basis or at intervals specified in the manual. Read the owner’s manual carefully to become familiar with your vehicle’s maintenance schedule and requirements. Maintenance regimes vary widely from one vehicle to another – the manufacturer of your vehicle knows best.

You can also use the senses to identify aspects in need of maintenance. Pay atten-tion to strange smells, they could be an early warning signal.

Easily recognisable sounds include strange clicking while taking a turn, a fan-belt squeal, rhythmic clicks from the wheel, a change in engine tone, backfiring while normal driving or engine knocks. Consult a workshop manual to identify possible causes of these sounds and decide wheather it is something you can repair yourself or if the help of a qualified mechanic is needed. If you go the self repair route, remember to use genuine spare parts where necessary.

Motors / Cars

The failure to attend to tyre safety is a vital factor road accidents every year.

It won’t help if you have the best brakes on the market, but your tyres are worn. When braking, the idea is to have suf-ficient friction between the road surface and tyre to bring the vehicle to a standstill. If the tyres are worn there will not be enough friction and the tyre will slide over the road surface, not stopping the vehicle. This is also true for handling and steer ability.

Basic rules about tyre safety:Always spend time to ensure you have

correct, safe tyres on your vehicle:Tyres should always be replaced with the

same size designation as recommended by the vehicle or tyre manufacturer.

Tyre brand, size and tread pattern must be the same on each axle.

All four tyres should be of the same size, speed rating and construction (radial or cross ply).

Guard against used tyre imports, many of which are beyond retreading but are retread-ed and sold illicitly. Similarly watch out for counterfeit tyres - illicit copies of respected brands. The advice is to always look for the SABS stamp of approval.

When two radial tyres are used with two cross ply, put the radials on the rear axle. In some cases (especially commercial vehicles) the manufacturer might recommend differ-ent-sized tyres for the front and rear axles.

Never assume that the tyres on your vehicle are correct, even if you have newly purchased it. Unless you bought new from an authorised dealer your vehicle may already be fitted with potentially lethal tyres.

Over inflation/ Under Inflation:Over and under-inflation reduces tyre to

road contact and shortens tyre life. The tyre responds in the same manner to under infla-tion as to overloading. The same applies to over inflation / under loading.

Where the tyre meets the tarOver inflation / under loading: Reduces

cushioning power of tyre. Tyre is more sus-ceptible to impact, penetrations and abra-sion.

Under inflation / Overloading: The biggest single cause of “burst” tyres. Under inflation cases excessive flexing of the tyre sidewall which leads to overheating and casing break-up and tread separation.

Tyre PressureCheck tyre pressure, including the spare,

once a week or before undertaking a long journey – or before 10 km have been driven.

Check tyre pressure early morning (low ambient temperature). Always use a reliable pressure gauge. Only use tyre sizes recom-mended by the manufacturers at the recom-mended inflation pressure

If the pressure is too low it affects the tyre in a number of ways. As speed rises, exces-sive contact patch deformation leads to a wave being formed in the tread, which gener-ates excessive heat, causing structural dam-age or even tyre failure. The extra flexibility will affect steering behaviour, directional sta-bility, durability and rolling resistance. Even occasional low pressure driving, or periodic vehicle overloading, may cause damage that only shows up much later as a blowout.

General Advice on Tyre MaintenanceCheck tyres and rims for any accidental

damage after impacting with potholes/curb stones or other obstacles in the road.

Vehicle wheel alignment should be tested at regular intervals to obtain even tread wear and maximum service life.

No matter how good your car, or its tyres, this is not justification for breaking speed lim-its. If a tyre burst, do not apply the brakes; rather use the momentum and gears to slow down. A sudden change in direction or brak-ing will result in loss of control over the ve-hicle. Rather lose one rim than your car and probably your life! (www.arrivealive.co.za)

Deur Dirk Gallowitz

KIA Motors het vroeër vanjaar gesagheb-bende toekennings ingepalm vir die uit-stekende ontwerp van drie van sy nuwe generasie motors.

Die Kia K900 (ook bekend as “K9” of “Quoris” in sommige lande), die Soul EV ‘n elektriese motor asook die aangrypend mooi GT4 Stinger konsepmotor het elk die gesogde toekenning ontvang in die kategorie vir ver-voer.

Die “GOOD DESIGN” toekenning word gedoen deur ‘n paneel wat bestaan uit onaf-hanklike professionele ontwerpers, spesiali-ste in die motor industrie sowel as kundiges uit die ontwerpmedia.

Die drie KIA modelle is beoordeel aan die hand van ‘n reeks vereistes, waaronder innoverende ontwerp, nuwe tegnologie, konsep, tipe material wat gebruik word, bougehalte, funksie, energie doeltreffend-

Kia modelle wen toekennings vir ontwerpheid en hoe sensitief daar met die omgewing omgegaan word.

Die KIA ontwerpspan staan sedert 2006 onder leiding van die bekroonde Peter Schreyer, wie oor die afgelope 15 jaar globale erkenning geniet vir sy ontwerpfilosofie.

Daar is eenstemmigheid onder meeste kenners in die motorbedryf dat dit juis Schreyer se innoverende en baanbreker ontwerpe is wat grootliks bydra tot KIA se fenominale groei en gewildheid oor die laaste klompie jare.

Die “GOOD DESIGN” toekennings word jaarliks georganiseer deur die Chicago Ath-enaeum en bestaan reeds sedert 1950 met die doel om uitnemende ontwerp in 25 ver-skillende kategorieë te vier.

Ontwerpers en vervaardigers in 30 ver-skillende lande het al hierdie toekennings ontvang vir kontemporêre ontwerp waaronder 'n skuifspeld, 'n NASA ruimtetuig en 'n Boe-ing 787 Dreamliner!

Nissan SA het Julie verlede jaar die tweede generasie van sy baie gewilde Qashqai (uitgespreek: “Kaskai”) nutsvoertuig

plaaslik bekendgestel. Met meer as 2-miljoen eenhede van die

kompakte stoftrapper wêreldwyd verkoop sedert 2007, is dit voor die hand liggend dat daar groot verwagtinge gekoester word van die nuwe model in ‘n stram mark tussen tawwe kompetisie.

Die nuwe model se groot klem lê op ver-beterde ontwerp, kwaliteit, luuksheid en natu-urlik die jongste tegnologie. Hy is langer, wyer, laer maar ook ligter as sy voorganger danksy die Renault-Nissan Alliance CMF (Common Module Family) modulêre platform waarop gebou word.

Ons toetsmodel is die 2015 1.5dCi Acenta met ‘n 1.5-litre turboaangejaagde diesel enjin wat 81 kW @ 4 000 rpm en 260 Nm wringkrag lewer tussen 1 750 and 2 500 rpm. Die ligter enjin loop nou stiller met minder vibrasie. Hierdie model trek deur die voorwiele via ‘n 6-spoed handratkas. Volgens Nissan bied die model klasleidende brandstofekonomie van slegs 4.2-liters per 100 km en ‘n CO2 syfer van 109 g/km wat die 1.5dCi vrystel van enige groen belastings. Nissan se dieselenjins in die Qashqai benodig 50ppm diesel.

Buite lyk die nuwe Qashqai meer modern in voorkoms. Die neus word gedomineer deur ‘n Nissan V-sierrooster met herontwerpte hoofligte weerskante wat nou met LED dagliggies spog. Agter is daar ook groot nuwe ligte wat om die hoeke vou en ook LED komponente insluit.

Die hoër ryposisie en nuutontwerpte buffers dra by tot die avontuurlustige voorkoms van die nuwe Qashqai.

Die kajuit wat sitplek aan vyf insittendes bied, is ook omvattend vernuwe met veral klem op gerief. Nissan het met die gebruik van kwaliteit materiale ‘n aangename en gerieflike plek aan insittendes daargestel vir ‘n genotvolle ry-ervaring. Binne is been-, kop- en skouerspasie vergroot asook die baggasie laairuimte wat met 20 liter tot 430 liter verruim is. Slaan jy egter die agterry sitplekke plat kry jy ‘n

enorme 1585 liter se laaispasie. Die binneruim is gerieflik en omvattend toegerus.

Die voorpaneel en instrumentasie lyk modern en is uit-stekend afgewerk.

Ons toetsmodel was toegerus met die opsionele “Design Pack” en kom met allooiwiele, outomatiese ruitveërs, buitespieëls wat terugvou, verdonkerde glas en ‘n groot elektriese glas sondak asook klimaatbeheer, outomatiese kopligte en voorste misligte. Daarby is daar vloeikristal-dagryligte, Bluetooth, spoedbeheer, ’n volle-dige ritrekenaar, ’n baie goeie klankstelsel en selfs ’n volgrootte-noodwiel as standaard.

Die gemaklike sitplekke en aangename kajuit ambi-aans het enige rit, op die snelweg, grondpaaie en selfs in druk stadsverkeer, ‘n aangename ervaring gemaak.

Die Nissan Qashqai soos getoets is beslis hoog op my lysie van gesinsmotors en ek kan die model met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel en is nie verras met die nomi-nasie van die Nissan Qashqai 1.6DCI Acenta Auto as ’n finalis vir die titel 2015-WesBank/SAGMJ-Motor van die Jaar.

Die nuwe Nissan QASHQAI modelle kom standaard met Nissan se klasleidende 6-jaar/ 150 000 km waar-borg en 5-jaar/ 90 000 km diensplan wat ook ‘n padby-standdiens insluit.

Ford se Blou Ovaal is besig om met reuse treë terug te klim in die mo-torwêreld. In SA het die Ford Ranger bakkie on-langs die greep wat Toy-ota se Hilux vir jare op die bakkiemark gehad het uiteindelik verbreek en as topverkoperbakkie in SA na vore gery.

Laasweek het Ford SA die Fusion plaaslik bekend gestel om die greep wat die Duitse Trio nl, BMW, Mercedes en Audi op die mark vir luukse gesinse-dans het, uit te daag.

Die Fusion is geskoei op die vierde generasie Mondeo wat reeds in 1993 in SA bekend gestel is en waarvan meer as 4,5-miljoen eenhede sedertdien wêreldwyd verkoop is. Met ‘n vloeiende sportiewe daklyn en nuwe aggressiewe vooraansig is daar bykans trekke na ‘n Aston Martin. Verder beloof die Fusion klasleidende brandstofekonomie vanaf die vier enjin keuses wat tans beskikbaar is. Die 1.5-liter EcoBoost enjin lewer ‘n gewil-lige 132kW en 240Nm terwyl die kragtiger 2.0-liter EcoBoost enjins onderskeidelik 149kW/300Nm en 177kW/340Nm bied. ‘n 2.0-litre TDCi dieselbrander is ook beskikbaar en lewer 132kW se piekkrag met 400Nm wringkrag.

Die Fusion bied die tegnologiese bykomstighede en elektro-niese hulpmiddels netjies verpak in kwaliteit materiale met uitstek-ende afwerking en vakmanskap in al die modelle.

Die intuïtiewe skakeling van wat Ford noem “Sync 2 voice-con-trol connectivity” werk via ‘n 20cm raakskerm, geplaas middel bo in die voorpaneel. Telefoon, klank, ritinfo en klimaatbeheer word alles hiervandaan beheer.

Bestuurdershulpstelsels soos “lane keeping” en radarbeheerde aanpasbare spoedbeheer bied groter veiligheid. Daar is ook eletro-niese parkeerhulp waar sensors ‘n beskikbare en paslike parkering identifiseer en die motor veilig in die parkeerplek navigeer.

Al die modelle is slegs beskikbaar met ‘n outomatiese rat-kas met ratspane agter die stuurwiel. Aandrywing is deur die voorwiele. Vir veiligheid is daar sewe lugsakke, ABS remme wat bygestaan word deur elektroniese nood remhulp en elektroniese remverspreiding. Stabiliteitsbeheer en traksiebeheer dra ook by tot die Fusion se arsenaal van aktiewe en passiewe veiligheidstelsels.

‘n Luukse Ford vir SA

Be wise about windscreen safety

Many South Africans have bought used vehicles which have turned out to be less than they expected. The AA offers some advice on how to

avoid buying a lemon. Today, more consumers are turning to previously-

owned vehicles. They choose a used car for its indis-putable advantages: lower price than a new car, slower depreciation and greater flexibility in cost and avail-ability.

Along with these advantages, there are risks. A used car may have mechanical or structural problem, replacement parts may be hard to find, the seller may misrepresent the car’s mileage or condition and war-ranty coverage may not be available.

Before launching your search for a good deal on a used car, spend some time considering many of the same factors that would apply to a new car purchase: how you will use the vehicle; how long you plan to keep it; the size, style, features and appearance you need or prefer; and your budget or financing options for the purchase, as well as for operation, maintenance, and repair costs. Know your financial limits and secure any needed financing before beginning your search.

Take a good look. Make sure you see the vehicle in the daylight, take it for a test drive and get someone who knows about cars to look it over. The AA offers full bumper-to-bumper examinations at eleven Technical Centres countrywide.

What to look for:The AA has put together a list of pointers to help

you choose a used car and avoid dudsTThe Engine:A dirty engine and “frosting” around the battery

terminals could mean the engine has not been carefully maintained.

Rumbling or knocking noises from the top or bot-tom of the engine when you start the car could indicate expensive problems.

Think before you buy

Thick blue smoke from the exhaust when you start up and rev the engine with the gear in neutral or park is a bad sign - stay away from this one.

Check the water in the radiator, this should be clean and oil free.

A low level of oil or sludgy, black oil on the dipstick suggests infrequent oil changes and a lack of TLC (Tender Loving Care).

Let the car stand for a while and check for puddles of oil or liquid.

The bodyCheck for mismatched paint on adjacent

body panels, this could show that it has been in an accident.

Peeling paint could later lead to rust. Check that the gaps between the body panels

are equal in width and that any edges are flush with each other.

Eight tips to save you trouble:Always ask to see all the car’s paperwork and

check the service record. Pay for a mechanical check to be carried out.

The AA can do this. If you are not feeling totally sure and happy

walk away. There are plenty of second-hand cars around. Shop around for the best financial deal.

Set up a budget and stick to it.

Health warningA roadworthy certificate

(RWC) is not a guarantee that the car is problem-free. It is sim-ply stating that the vehicle meets the minimum statutory require-ments in terms of safety, such as brakes, suspension and lights. It could have a RWC and an engine knock indicated a major engine breakdown.

Nuwe modelle vir Sportage Sorento en K2700

A clean windscreen without cracks or blemishes plays an important part in road safety, says the national

road safety initiative, Arrive Alive. Damaged winscreens may delay the

recovery of vision drivers following ex-posure to the stray light effects created through a worn windscreen. Furthermore detection distances to objects on the road ahead may be reduced when looking through worn windscreens.

The contrast of objects on the road ahead may be reduced - the consequence of which could be a reduction of visibility distances.

Dirty windscreens seem to cause driv-ers to crash twice as often in a driving simulator (as compared to driving with a new windscreen) and when driving with a degraded windscreen, drivers’ reaction times to a secondary task may be slowed.

Driving with a visually degraded wind-screen induces fatigue and performance declines more rapidly than when driving with a non-degraded windscreen.

Based on the experience of PG Glass service centres more than 90% of wind-screen claims result from stone damage.

Newly built roads, old roads breaking up, resurfacing of old roads, pot holes, trucks driving on the road shoulder, flood damage, and spillage from trucks carting building materials or rubble are all causing more debris on the roads.

Under these conditions, drivers are advised to drive slower and to maintain a longer following distance. Sixty meters is considered a safe distance.

Claudi Le Roux, ’n oud-inwoner van Mokopane en ook ’n dominee van Pretoria is verlede Vrydag, twee dae na haar 27ste verjaardag in ’n frats-ongeluk dood. Dié jong vrou is op die Moloto pad in haar motor deur ’n stuk skrootyster wat van ’n vragmotor geval het, getref.

Le Roux was die dogter van ds. Roelf en Antoinette Opperman. Dié gesin, oorspronklik van Mokopane, is in rou gedompel toe sy haar laaste asem in die Montana hospitaal uit-geblaas het waar sy ’n noodoperasie ondergaan het.

Le Roux se man Ewald glo die bestuurder van die vragmotor met skroot wat voor Le Roux gery het toe die ongeluk plaasgevind het, het nie besef wat gebeur het nie en het aange-hou ry. Le Roux het ernstige kopbeser-ings opgedoen toe die yster haar tref.

Haar hartverskeurende ma, Antoinette Opperman het haar skok en die onwerk-likheid van haar dogter se dood op ’n sosiale

Op die Piet Potgieter Monument ouetehuis in Mokopane se verjaardagkoek pryk daar van-jaar ’n volle 50 kersies waarop hulle voorwaar trots is.

Die tehuis se 50ste bestaansjaar is Maandag gevier met ’n lof- en dankdiens onder leiding van dominee Hennie Nel. Nel se treffende boodskap het gevolg na inwoners deelge-neem het aan ’n skouspelagtige kerslig seremonie. Kandelare in die tehuis se eetsaal is belig met 50 brandende kerse as danksegging.
