About the Cover: This month we acknowledge the Pinelanders who give of their time to serve the Animal Welfare Society. At this time of the year, a time for giving, it would be wonderful to remember all the charity organisations that depend on the good natured generosity of the general public. In our editorial picture this month we (Max and Glynnis Schutte) sport the T-shirts sold to raise funds for penguin rescue at SANCCOB. Choose your favourite charity and remember them in your gift list. Share the happiness!
THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORST OF TIMES Above: Steppe Buzzard In keeping with the season of giving, we have quite a few stories this month about Pinelanders involved in service and welfare organisations, especially for animals – from BIRDS IN PINELANDS turtles in Malaysia to dogs and cats on our own streets.

The Old Mutual Football Club (OMFC), formed in 1961, always had a very strong junior section ranging from under 12’s to under 18’s. When playing in the Cape Western League in the 1980’s, the six junior teams swept the awards regularly, in one year winning the league trophy, the knock- out trophy and the Langston Cup. Sadly, in 2000 the junior section of the club fell away. Now, however, thanks to a number of enthusiastic senior members, the junior section of the club has been revived. In February 2015, the club was able to attract nearly two dozen players from the 6 to 9 year age group, resulting in OMFC fielding two Under-9 teams and one Under-7 team. With coaches from the senior teams OMFC began grooming these young players. The inaugural season got off to a rocky start, From left to right. Coaches: Shawn Theron, Matthew Knott-Craig. OMFC Under 9’s: with losses across the board, but the season Back row: Matthew Armstrong, Dylan Krige, Salman Jappie, Shaun Krieg, Pratyush ended with winning streaks in the double Moodley.

Lamprecht-M5-047.indd 1 19/11/2014 12:43 PM PINELANDS HOME SELLS FOR NEW RECORD PRICE RE/MAX Property Associates’ Pinelands Office, which services property buyers and sellers from east of the Cape Town City Bowl to Plumstead, has recently sold a home in Pinelands for R5.25 million – the highest price paid for any home in the sought-after suburb. Caron Leslie, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Property Associates, says that this is a remarkable accomplishment and testament to the fact that the current market favours sellers. According to Leslie, the previous record sale for Pinelands was R4.8 million in 2014. “It is amazing to think that in just one year the record has been beaten by nearly R500 000. It shows that the market is healthy and consumers are willing to pay premium prices for the homes that they want,” says Leslie. The home that achieved the record price was exclusively marketed and sold by Marlett Cuyler, Sales Associate at RE/MAX Property Associates. She says that the property was built 10 years ago and offers its new owners 510m2 of luxury living. Some of the features include extra high ceilings, a double- volume entrance hall and internal vacuuming system. Other features include a designer kitchen, two large lounges with a bar, air-conditioning and underfloor heating. “The main bedroom is fit for a king with its own amenity bar, gas fireplace and large sky-lighted walk in cupboard,” says Cuyler. Data from Lightstone, a property statistics and information provider, reveals that the average price of a freehold home in Pinelands is around R2.6 million, while the average sectional title unit sells for approximately R700 000. Aside from a marginal dip in 2009, property prices in Pinelands have continued to see excellent year-on-year growth. “Prices in Pinelands have continued to perform well because the area continues to be sought-after. It is very popular among buyers as it is centrally located and boasts a number of easily accessible amenities, which include schools, churches, crèches, two small shopping centres, two railway stations and Old Mutual Pinelands sports complex and office park,” says Leslie. Adrian Goslett, Regional Director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, says that location is Marlett Cuyler, Sales Associate extremely important when it comes to growth in property prices. “The location of a property will at RE/MAX Property Associates have an impact on its potential for value growth over a period of time. Location is possibly the most important aspect in determining the price that can be achieved if the property is sold in the future, For more information regarding along with the possible income the property could generate by being rented out,” he explains. property in the Pinelands area Leslie says that a good location is where there is growth and development, or at least the call Marlett Cuyler at RE/MAX potential for significant growth. “It is important that the area’s potential can support the demand Property Associates on 082 514 for property over the long term and subsequently contribute to the increase in the value of the property over time,” adds Leslie, who notes that Pinelands is such a location.
