Rhino Oil and Gas will make an application to PASA for environmental authorisation of exploration activities as set out in the Listing Notices made in terms of Section 24(5) of the National Environmental Management Act (No. 107 of 1998) (NEMA). The initial exploration area includes ~240 farms over an area of ~ 120 000 ha. In broad terms the exploration area lies in the northern region of the Eastern Cape. It is bound by the Lesotho boundary to the west, from near Qachas Nek to approximately 20 km north of Mt. Fletcher in the south. The area lies to the west of the R56 road between Matatiele and Mt. Fletcher with the Maria-Linden Mission being just inside the boundary. Residential properties within the block are not included. A map and list of included farms are available on request. Rhino Oil and Gas proposes to undertake early-phase exploration for oil and gas which may be located underground within suitable geological strata. The purpose is to determine the presence of a petroleum resource which could be investigated further. The initial 3-year exploration work programme will be restricted to non-invasive techniques, seismic surveys and the drilling of less than 10 core boreholes. Rhino will require access to only a few farms for exploration activities and will agree terms with those land-owners. No hydraulic fracturing or fracking is proposed.

NEWS 10 30 October 2015 30 October 2015 MOTORING east griqualand east griqualand FEVER FEVER 11 Introduce a trendy, natural look with wood-look tiles T HE wood tile trend has been gaining momentum for several years, and now there are more styles and sizes to choose from. “In Europe natural wood–looking tiles now come in strong tones, but for the South African market warmer and lighter colours are still dominant,” says Richard Nuss, marketing manager at Johnson Tiles. Wood-look tiles are also taking the shape of large format planks and are moving away from traditional designs. They have more features and some include a bit of colour. Here are more reasons why you should consider using wood-look tiles in your home. They look like wood Whether you are looking for a dark finish, a white-wash coloured tile, square tiles or large planks, these tiles now come in a variety of shades and sizes and actually look like wood. “The availability of wood-look tiles has opened up an array of design options, especially in the case of wet areas like bathrooms. Previously, owning a wood design shower was almost impossible, simply because it would be very difficult to maintain the wood but with woodlook tiles, you get the best of both worlds; the natural touch of wood and easy maintenance.” Wood-look tiles are cost-effective DXWRIHYHU For diehard 4x4 fans >> Pajero comes with over R70 000 worth of accessories T Budget is always a consideration, and shopping for new flooring can be costly. Wood-look tiles come at a fraction of the cost and will keep your budget in check. Wood-look tiles are practical and come in various designs and colours With wood-look tiles, you don’t have to worry about the wear-and-tear you might see with real wood in high-traffic areas or moisture problems in the kitchen or bathroom. Wood-look tiles are popular because of their natural look. “They work well with most design concepts as they provide a natural base colour from which to work with,” says Nuss. He added that with digital inkjet technology, the always popular look of wood is now being recreated with limitless possibilities. These tiles complement open-plan living areas beautifully and work just as well in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and on the patio. “You can choose the same shade for inside and outside or you can use a lighter hue inside and a darker shade with a textured finish outside,” he says. Before deciding on the right type and shade of tile for your space, consider the following: • What will the area be used for and who will use the space — this will help you determine if you should get textured tiles and which colour to go with. Darker colours will be more forgiving with dirt and can work best for outside. • What colour grout to use — choosing the right grout is going to make a huge difference in how realistic your installation appears. Johnson Tiles recently introduced Knysna Balsa to its range of wood-look tiles. This bleached coloured, glazed ceramic wood-look tile has a weathered and worn-slatted appearance and can be used just about anywhere. - Supplied.

Each Shogun also comes with the latest Garmin GPS Nuvi-cam device that is pre-loaded with popular African overland routes and maps thanks to Maps 4 Africa.

Somehow, despite all your efforts, you’ll find yourself spilling grape juice, or having to deal with pet or finger-painting accidents. Fortunately, you can get rid of all these stains using a few simple household products. Special water-soluble stains To get rid of blood, chocolate, coffee, mustard, tea, vomit or wine, try one tablespoon of ammonia mixed with one cup of water (on wool or wool-blend carpets, use a mild detergent and water). If that doesn’t work, you can try one part household bleach to five parts water, but only on solutiondyed carpets like polypropylene. Bleach will harm other types of carpets, so check with the manu- facturer if you’re unsure what type of carpet you have. Fats and wax Place a paper towel over the carpet and iron over the stain using a warm setting. The wax, fat or oil should come up and stick to the paper towel. Glue Moisten a cotton ball or soft cloth with rubbing alcohol (available at pharmacies) and press it on the affected area. Once the glue residue is soaked thoroughly, wipe it off gently and repeat until the carpet is clean. Wax and gum Use ice to freeze the wax or gum, then shatter it with a blunt object like a spoon. Vacuum before the pieces s often, and blot the carpet with a towel. - Property24. A new Ford Ranger leaves the testing ground at Silverton in Pretoria every two minutes, 24/7, and these bakkies are then exported to 145 countries — but nowhere else do they sell as well as in South Africa. ‘SA is the biggest market for the Ranger,’ confirmed Dale Reid, boss of light commercial vehicles at Ford South Africa. The plant now builds 33 models of the Ranger, but Reid said he will only announce prices ‘in a few weeks’. (Pundits predict a four to six percent increase.) Meanwhile, it is a buyers’ market on the current Ranger models, with fantastic offerings at all dealers, and motoring can recommend especially the 2,2 engined 4x2 range, which will remain good value for a long time, as well as the Wildtrack. In the new 4x4 models, Reid’s team has added a raft of driver assist systems that not only add value to the new Ranger, but also put it on par with a Land Rover Discovery off-road.

The handover of the house to the Sithole family, which was done by Mayor Momelezi Mbedla, councillors and representative of the contractor, forms part of the Mayoral Outreach programme to strengthen municipalities through the Back to Basics local government programme. Nokonwaba Sithole (30), the house recipient, lived with her three children aged between one and 10 in a very old house that could fall apart anytime. “Sleeping in my hut I could see the PHOTOS: SUPPLIED The new house, with furniture outside, built for the Sithole family. moon from inside, and during heavy rains we would have to ask for shelter in my mother’s house. “I am unemployed and we survive on the child grants, so I couldn't afford to fix the house. “I cannot express fully the happiness I feel about what the municipality has done for me and my children. They have restored my dignity, we will now live like normal people, I am very thankful.” she said. The Office of the Mayor chipped in by buying the family furniture. During the handover Mbedla praised the contractor who donated the house, calling him “activists for development”. “All contractors and the business community doing business with government should learn to do something for the community. Bitline SA 1060 has set a good example for contractors by being empathetic to people's plight,” Mbedla said. The contractor, which is currently installing water in Ward 5 built the house for the family after seeing the condition they lived in. The house amounted to more than R60 000. The delegation, led by Mbedla, also visited the R1.5 million Mnqayi Bridge under construction in Ward 5. “This is part of our monitoring service to ensure we deliver quality services and we will continue assessing all projects to avoid wasteful expenditure,” Mbedla said.

KHAYA MAGENU [email protected] WORKING on Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP), the residents of Kwa Sani Municipality in Underberg have new hope for the future. Coming from a disadvantaged background in Ward 2, Mzoxolo Hlongwana is one of thousands of young people who have been unemployed for a long time, but at last his dream of getting a job has come true. “I struggled to complete Grade 11 because I wanted to further my studies and because I am now part of the Expanded Public Works Programme, my life has changed for the better.” Hlongwana will receive a stipend for the duration of his contract on the programme. The EPWP in Kwa Sani started in 2011 and more than 200 people benefited from it and the municipality has already invested R3 million on it. The programme is a government initiative that aims to reduce unemployment and poverty by creating jobs and training people. The state, organs of the state, provincial government and municipalities undertake projects for the creation or provision of public works services across three sectors - environment, culture and social and infrastructure.

Kwa Sani established a dedicated unit to co-ordinate, monitor and evaluate progress in the implementation of the programme. “I started work last year after signing a six-month contract, which the municipality renewed in September. Before I employed on the programme it was hard for me because I was not working,” said Hlongwana, who has two children. “I learnt a lot of skills in road maintenance and even received a recognition certificate from the municipality in this regard,” said Hlongwana, who thanked the municipality for giving him this opportunity. Zwelihle Ngcobo from Ward 3 started on the programme in 2013 and said it changed his life for the better as he was unemployed before then. He said he learnt about cleaning gardens and pruning flowers which he will use to make the town beautiful. On Friday, the municipality gave 37 EPWP workers new uniforms. Kwa Sani Municipality councillor, Sihle Mqwambi said they are working hard to ensure they create jobs and curb poverty among Kwa Sani Municipality residents. He said most of the people on the programme came from youth and child-headed families. Site Notice placed at the Matatiele Municipal offices Public Protector team visit Underberg NTUNTU DWEBA [email protected] THE team from the Office of the Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, in KZN visited Underberg last week during the National Good Governance Week which aims to promote good governance and integrity in all state affairs and educate the public about the Public Protector’s services and role. Media officer in the office, Phindile Mavuso said Public Protector Good Governance Week started on 19 until 23 October, and the Public Protector aims to increase public awareness about the existence, mandate and services of the institution. “Section 182(4) of the Republic of South Africa, calls on the Public Protector to be accessible to all persons and communities. So Good Governance Week is in line with that sections of our Constitution,” Mavuso said. She said this year’s theme for the campaign is “20 Years of Protecting the Public; Successes, Challenges and the Road Ahead”. “The focus areas for this year was Umgungundlovu District Mu- nicipality, Mpendle and KwaSani local municipalities. During the week the team made unannounced visits to Department of Social Development and Sassa in Underberg and Mpendle,” she said. “Two workshops, with officials from the Departments of Social Development, Sassa, agriculture, health, SAPS and other stakeholders in Underberg, were conducted in which the mandate of the Public Protector was presented and officials had an opportunity to ask questions about the operations of the Public Protector.” The team also visited the Underberg taxi rank where flyers with information about the mandate of the Public Protector were distributed and an opportunity was presented for the community to lodge complaints with the Public Protector if complaints existed. “During our interaction with people, issues such as the lack of water supply in some areas, the lack of fencing for livestock and roads not being properly constructed and tarred were raised, and we will be forwarding them to our office to see how interventions can be made,” she said.
