Election Day in Henley
Voting in Henley at the
O'Connor Hall is a
pleasure. It is a social
occasion where
acquaintances meet and
catch up and where
strangers chat in the
queues. After making
their mark, voters buy
coffee and boerie rolls
from the Lions and the
party continues. This year
was no exception.

Councillor’s Corner
To all those residents who voted for me and for those who did not, I
wish to say a big “THANK YOU”. The manner and spirit in which
the residents of ward 15 came out to vote and the fact that you all
cared enough to come out to vote made me very, very proud to be the
councillor for this ward.
To the representatives of the other parties who stood in this ward,
I also want to say a big thank you for the manner in which you
fought this campaign and the manner in which you congratulated
me on my win. You made me very, very proud to be a South African.
I would also like to say thank you to the two lady members of the
much maligned SAPS, who sat outside the voting station from early
in the morning until the last IEC official had been transported home.
They sat in the freezing cold of that night with great good will and
humour. I totally salute you both. A final thank you to all the
activists who helped during registration and voting.
I will admit that after the protests in the run-up to August 3, I was
indeed worried and the omens did not augur well.
The true triumph of these elections is the manner in which they
were conducted.
We have proved once again that we are most definitely NOT a
banana republic but a democracy of remarkable maturity. This is a
watershed moment because it means South Africa is no longer a
country dominated by one party. For long, we have been slowly
edging towards being a proper, lively, multi-party system that holds
power to account. We are now almost at that point. South Africans
are using the ballot box to speak to their leaders and that can only be
a good thing. It is an exciting and exhilarating time to be a South
African.
I will be continuing to work on behalf of ward 15 in council and I
am always available to listen to you. If I am teaching, my phone
may be switched off but leave me a message and I will get back to
– Councillor Parsonson

Binne ons bereik
Die Afbakeningsraad stryd om Midvaal en Emfuleni saam te
forseer in 'n Vaal Metro was 'n deursigtige poging van die ANC om
op hierdie manier beheer oor Midvaal te verkry omdat hulle by die
stembus verloor het in Midvaal.
Die vraag is wat sou gebeur het indien die Metro wel gevorm
was? In die Vaal Metro sou daar 50 wyke wees en altesaam 100
Raadslede. Indien die verkiesings uitslae van Midvaal en Emfuleni
bymekaar getel word dan was die totale stemme 461,457 en die
toedeling van stelsel sou dan as volg wees: ANC 52, DA 30, EFF 11,
VF+ 3, AIC 2, Cope 1en PAC 1. Totaal 100 setels.
Dit beteken dat die ANC slegs 'n meerderheid van 2 setels in die
Metro sou hê teenoor die gesamentlike opposisie. Die setel kwota in
die Metro sou 4615 stemme wees. Dit beteken dat 9,230 stemme 2
setels sou beteken vir 'n party. (Elke kieser het in die geval 2
stemme, een wyk stem en een proporsionele stem) Net 4615 mense
moet addisioneel teen die ANC stem om gelykop uit te kom.
In die 50 wyke moet die DA slegs 93 addisionele ondersteuners
inbring om te wen teen die ANC. (Dit is 93 x 50 x 2 = 9300 stemme).
Dit kan met harde werk maklik gedoen word.
Indien in ag geneem word dat Midvaal se bevolking slegs
ongeveer 10% van so 'n Metro sou uitmaak en ons kyk na die
stemme uitgebring in Midvaal (15,52%) teenoor Emfuleni
(84,47%), dan is dit duidelik dat 'n baie groter stem persentasie in
Midvaal uitgebring is.
Van die totaal van 139,133 DA stemme is 31% in Midvaal
uitgebring en slegs 69% in Emfuleni. Al wat nodig is is om die
verloor mentaliteit om te keer in 'n vaste wil om te wen. Kyk maar
net na die stem persentasies in die Midvaal wyke in vergelyking met
Emfuleni wyke en mens besef onmiddelik dat selfs in net 10 wyke
wat elk 231meer DA ondersteuners kan uitkry by die stembus sal
The Village
die ANC verslaan word.
Daar is een groot begeerte onder al die opposisie partye en dit is
dat die ANC verslaan moet word. Die ANC sal nie met 'n 2 setel
meerderheid 'n volgende munisipale verkiesing in so 'n Metro kon
oorleef nie.
Al wat nodig is is 'n wil om te wen en die besef dat dit binne ons

So what is Henley Watch?
If you ask anyone in Henley who isn't an active member of Henley
Watch, they will probably tell you something like: “Oh, it's just a
local neighborhood watch group” or, “It's just a bunch of local
residents who chase after member's alarms when activated.”
FACT: Henley Watch has been operating for 25 years and while it
may have started out as a typical neighborhood watch group, it has
transformed into a very sophisticated and effective security organisation that offers a service that equals or betters that of any
professional security company but is controlled and operated
entirely by the residents of Henley. It offers 24/7 radio alarm
monitoring with armed response as well as a dedicated emergency
phone number that is linked to the control centre for community
members who don't have alarm systems or simply require assistance in and around the Village. In addition to the dedicated armed
response vehicle that never leaves the village, HW has a dedicated
group of volunteer patrol personnel who constantly monitor the
Village and respond to any suspicious activities that may be seen or
reported. The Watch, as its affectionately known, is a nonprofit,
community driven organisation that is funded by its members and
offers a range of services to its community members. One example
is its Escort me home service that operates throughout the Village.
'The Watch' is able to assist its members with First aid, dog poisoning, emergency services and has strong links with other community
service providers such as CPF, doctors, vets, clergymen, Henley Pet
Network, to name a few.
No! Henley Watch is not just another neighborhood watch. It is
actually one of the most successful and effective community
service and anti-crime groups in the country and will continue to be
so as long as it retains the support of the Henley community.
We salute our members and thank you all for making HW what it
is. You are 'The Watch'.

Farewell Ginny Mes
Henleyites fight fire with fire.
On Saturday 23 July Henleyites lit up the braais and cooked dozens
of wors rolls to help feed and support our local law enforcement
personnel. With most of Midvaal's Police, CPF and Emergency
Services personnel working 24/7 to protect us all from the violent
protests, the least we as citizens could do is show our appreciation
and support by providing sustenance to our brave and tireless
defenders of the lifestyle that we have come to expect and cherish in
this unique area that we call home.
Like our neighbours in Golf Park and Meyerton, the people of
Henley answered the call by donating food, beverages, money and
time in a united stand against lawless activities in our region. The
generosity of our great community was so good that we had enough
wors and rolls to supply a second batch to SAPS & CPF on Monday
night. Thank you and well done to all who contributed to this great
cause and especially to Danie Mohr whose initiative made it all
possible. We remain Proudly Midvaal.
– Alan Hunt
For 27 years Ginny Mes has been a well-known figure in Henley.
Now she has relocated to the Cape (Durbanville)
Ginny, and her husband Peter, moved to Henley to their house in
Regatta Road. She was active on Henley Watch and the Rate
Payers'. She and Gordon Paterson started the Henley Herald in
competition with the Henley Chronicle until the Chronicle folded
and then theirs was the only newspaper in the village. When
Gordon's health started failing, she handed the Herald over to the
present editors.
Ten years ago, at the urging of Irma Coetzee, she started the
Henley Bird Club, Birds of a Feather, (BOAF) although at the time
she knew little about birds. The club under her leadership,
boundless energy and enthusiasm has grown to be a respected
satellite club of Wits Bird Club (WBC). She brought Raymond
Hobson's fledgling bird sanctuary under the wing of the club and
this has since grown to be part of every birder's To Do list. All these
achievements brought
her to the attention of the
WBS committee and she
was persuaded to
become programme
director there, a job that
she executed with flair
and efficiency.
At a farewell lunch
h e l d i n h e r h o n o u r,
birders from Denysville,
Vanderbijl and Jo'burg
heaped praise on her.
Here she is seen with the present chairman of BOAF, Dave Ludlow,
accepting a memento.

From The Editors
So the elections are done and dusted and now we can just sit back
and moan when they don't deliver/don't listen/don't respond
immediately.
No! Wrong. Did you read Wynand Engelbrecht's article in last
month's Herald. (One of our on-line readers was so impressed, she
put it on facebook. If you missed it go to our website)
Wynand gently chided us for thinking the election is the end of
our involvement, that getting the right party into power will solve
all our problems. What this extended election period should also have done is develop in us is an
awareness of the importance of our personal involvement in civic or community affairs.
This issue is full stories of community coming together to help others (supporting the police) and
getting things done themselves. Spring is coming. Let this be a time for you to join a service organisation such as the Lions or Rotary; help with the scouts or the soccer team; become an active member of
Henley Watch or CPF, or both; join the River Clean-up Team or Henley at Heart. It needn't all be
selfless: Support local businesses by eating at local restaurants and hiring local artisans. No need to rush
off to Jo'burg for plants for your spring garden as we have two nurseries right here.
Don't forget the pavement garden competition. We have a number of nominations but there must be
others worthy of a look by our judges. You can nominate yourself if your friends don't do it. Just the
address will do if you see a good pavement. Email or sms to 084 263 1784.

Mooiloop visits Henley
Mooiloop, the SABC2 travel and lifestyle programme, visited
Henley early in July and the resulting programme was broadcast on
27 July. They were here on a weekend when there were no markets,
in the middle of the school holidays, in the middle of winter but still
they managed to convey the essence of Henley quite well.

but then she relaxed and enjoyed herself. Sue Webber, below,

resolutions in the Midvaal area

Take One, Take Two, Action!
On 9 July, 1st Henley Cubs and Scouts found themselves attending
their weekly pack meeting, with a few extra pack members, namely
Elma Postma and the production crew from Mooiloop.
Elma Postma is one of the presenters of Mooiloop, a travel and
lifestyle program broadcast on SABC 2 on Wednesday evenings at
20:30. Henley on Klip was
chosen to feature in an
episode for season 3. Along
with a number of other clips
filmed between 8 and 9 July,
which covered local
businesses and points of
interests, 1st Henley Cubs and
Scouts were approached to
participate in the filming.The
1st Henley Scouts opened the
pack meeting with prayer, and the hoisting of the flag. Thereafter,
the scouts set out to show Elma and the production crew how a
warm up game of cricket is played. Then, it was time for the serious
work to start, as the scouts undertook a pioneering activity that
involved the construction of A-frames, using only wooden poles
and ropes. There were some killer knot-tying skills on show that day
The club's Cubs were included, too. They were divided into teams
and sent out into the wild to collect the necessary resources for
building and lighting fires. The cubs used the open fires to cook
wors and braai bread on sticks, proving again that there may yet be a
Bear Grylls among them. The cubs ensured that their guests did not
leave empty handed, and Elma was provided with her own pad kos
in the form of a tasty piece of wors and braai bread.

A new force in agriculture.
In February this year, an idea sprouted into the formation of the
Walkerville Farm Produce Network (WFPN). This collaborative
initiative serves as a supportive, inclusive network for growers,
producers, informal and established suppliers, clients and
consumers of, fresh farm produce, agricultural services and home
industries in the Midvaal area of Gauteng, South Africa.
Our objectives include supporting and encouraging our
community to make efficient, productive and sustainable use of
available space on their smallholdings; identifying and sharing
business opportunities among small-scale growers and producers,
and end user buyers; providing a product and service offering

community and key stakeholders.

and much more. The result is an offering of fresh, healthy, quality
produce at cost-efficient prices for consumers. The availability of
and access to our area's fresh farm produce is well received and as
awareness shifts, more people are gravitating from other parts of
Gauteng and further afield to source locally. With consistency and
sustainable growth, we envision dedicated physical channels
marrying growers with end users.
Current membership of our Facebook group is well over 400 and
growing. The group offers a visible platform for members to
advertise their product or service offerings and to cross-pollinate
on ideas, information, projects and resources. We welcome news
and updates of agricultural relevance and benefit to users of the
group.
Ultimately, the expansion and progressive success of this
initiative requires pragmatic support and collective input. We
welcome and encourage active participation. For more

Out and about from Henley
Inval by Val
Just off the R21 to Standerton, 20km beyond Greylingstad, and
100km from Henley, lies the tiny hamlet of Val; just a hotel, tiny
church and a police station. The nearby silos indicate that farming
is the cornerstone of the economy. The menu at the hotel is very
short but worth reading the non-food pages which detail the history
of this interesting spot that started as a stage coach post. Then
choose the excellent steak. No vegetarian options here. Wait a few
months before visiting because there is a lengthy stop/go where
they are fixing the road outside Greylingstad. The trip could be
combined with seeing the sights of Heidelberg but do not bother
going into Balfour or Greylingstad. Those are two depressed little
towns. Go to www.valhotel.co.za for more information.

The organisers of the Walkerville Agricultural Market, a weekly
Saturday market held at the Walkerville showgrounds, were the first
to offer the WFPN a physical outlet. The WFPN cooperative stall,
operating since the market's inception on 16 April 2016, offers
small-scale growers and producers of fresh farm produce in
Midvaal the opportunity to showcase and sell their produce directly
to the general public. Produce on offer varies weekly and includes
seasonal fresh farm vegetables and fruit, free range chicken, free
range eggs, dairy, raw honey, jams, syrups, preserves, mushrooms

Exercise and senior citizens
It is well known that physical exercise lowers the risk for certain
diseases. We can all benefit from an exercise programme. This is
particularly important for our senior citizens. As we get older we
become weaker because of the loss of muscle tissue. This does not
only happen because we are getting older, but also because we are
living sedentary lives. We need to stimulate our muscle fibres in
order to keep them healthy and strong: the term “use it or lose it”
comes to mind.
When we look at an exercise program for an elderly person, we
have to look at current activity levels and health. I would not
suggest anyone just to start running around the block. Always seek
the advice of your doctor, before you start exercising.
As an example: we are working with a healthy 70 year old male or
female: We can start off with a walk around the complex where he
or she stays, possibly a distance of 400m at a medium pace three
times per week. Then some exercises: Roll the arms around
forwards and backwards, side to side. Do 10 hip light rotations.
This is to get the body used to some activity and getting some
movement in the joints. Get a set of light dumbbells (1.5kg) for
some resistance training two times per week. Seated shoulder
presses (1), seated biceps curls (2), triceps kickbacks (3), dumbbell
lateral raises (4), one arm rows (5). These are just some of the
exercises you can do with just one set of dumbbells.
The above routine of walking and resistance training, may
stimulate muscle fibres, slowing the process of muscle breakdown
(due to age), improve cardio vascular function and give a sense of
wellbeing. Joining your local gymnasium will also have benefits.
There is a broad spectrum of machines you can use. Have an
instructor show you the correct way of doing exercises, and advise
you on increasing the intensity of your exercise plan.
