PREAMBLE
The Vergenoegd Development Initiative came about as a result of the combination of recognising a commercial opportunity to improve a poorly performing wine farm, and a need to respond to National and Provincial Government policy with respect to broad based black economic empowerment, job creation and the development of entry level housing.
This document envisions a development that will
o unlock the value in the currently undeveloped and unusable portion of the farmland
o to create over 4 000 jobs and more through our BBBEE partner, The Nation's Trust
o assist in meeting community needs for housing
o provide funding for amenities for local communities., e.g., an AIDS clinic and support for children's organisations.
o provide the necessary resources to refinance the wine farm
o deliver additional cash flow streams from tourism to the winemaking business
o construct housing for the employees of the wine farm
The delivery of the benefits will be by way of a Treasury Trust. The funding for the entire project is to be raised from the sale of residential properties and does not require any public funding.
THE PAST AND PRESENT
The historic wine farm Vergenoegd has been a landmark in the Helderberg region since 1696.
The wine farm has had notable success, and over the years, has produced many champion wines, winning prizes both here in South Africa and abroad. The well- known South African wine guide,” John Platter South African Wines” has rated the Vergenoegd wine at 4 1/2 stars in quality (ref. page 559 of the 2006 edition). At present the vineyard produces only red wines, but consideration is being given to the development of a new white wine range.
Wine farming is a notoriously cyclical activity, and for the past few years the present owners have been obliged to dispose of a substantial part of their land holdings, in order to maintain the business' viability. Clearly, the farm cannot go on selling land assets indefinitely to support the business.
This document serves as an outline business plan for the long-term sustainability of the farm. The plan conceived will stabilise the business by providing additional cash flow streams from tourism and thus ensure that the combined wine and tourism enterprise is subject to a less cyclical earning stream and a stable future.
Taking cognizance of National and Provincial Government policy, the proposal has been devised such that it unlocks the value in the currently undeveloped portion of the farmland. The benefits will flow not only to the business but will provide substantial job creation and socio-economic upliftment to the surrounding area and contribute to the economy of the Western Cape.
OUTLINE OF THE BUSINESS PLAN
The farm consists of several portions, the aggregate area of which is approximately 325 ha.
The Vergenoegd Development Initiative will provide funding for the following activities on this land.
VINEYARDS AND THE WINE ESTATE
The wine making activity uses approximately 80 ha of which only about 20 ha is required for the core business, the production of premium red wine. The remaining 60 ha produces bulk wine that is uneconomic.
Currently the farm is producing a range of red wine only. This range will be expanded to include white and rosé wines. Marketing resources will be applied to expanding the geographic distribution particularly in international markets.
The growth of the business will create jobs and add to the economic activity on the farm. The farm will retain about 220 ha of agricultural land and nature reserve.
PROTECTION OF AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE
The agricultural heritage of the farm will be protected in perpetuity. No development will be undertaken which is not required to protect the viability of the farm and meet the corporate social investment requirements of this project. It is fundamental that the wine farm enjoys protection from exploitation once the sustainable business plan has been implemented.
This will also provide security of the environment for the new property owners and preserve the amenity that they have bought into.
TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENT
A restaurant has been established. The restaurant’s income will be supplemented by the development of a business catering for meetings and events. This will enhance both food and wine sales particularly the home produced Vergenoegd wines. Restaurant trade will also enhance wine sales through consumption and retail sales. This will have the effect of making the current extent of vineyard plantings more economically viable and a platform for growth into the future.
A boutique hotel (approx. 60-80 rooms) located on the farm will add to tourism capacity and create employment in the region. The location of the estate near the junction of the N2 and the R310 is at the gateway to South Africa’s premier wine route and is thus well placed to offer a pleasant and convenient location to both local and particularly international tourists.
Both of the executive Directors have significant skills and experience in the local and international tourism business.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
In line with the latest thinking of residential development in the Winelands, the proposal is that three nodal villages be located on approximately 70 Ha of the farm, providing a range of quality housing in the commercial market.
It is envisaged that the housing architecture will be based on the Boland wine farm style. The concept will fit in comfortably with the architecture of the region.
It is this development that will be the funding “engine room” to meet the social and commercial benefits of the overall business plan.
COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL CENTRE
A small convenience retail centre will be required to provide facilities for the tourism market and the residential development.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
It is envisaged that a small site will be set aside on the south side of the N2 for much-needed industrial development and therefore job opportunities, adjacent to Khayelitsha.
NATURE RESERVE
There are areas on the farm which have been identified as having significant botanical importance. In addition to the plant life on the farm there are some areas of the farm which were formerly seasonal wetlands.
It is the intention of VDI that the areas of environmental significance will be protected.
Approximately 80 ha of the farm (about 25%) will be secured for nature reserve purposes.
THE FARM AND LAND USE
The farm soils at Vergenoegd are somewhat variable. The soil profile comprises the eastern edge of Cape flats sand and the more variable soils of the Helderberg mountain range.
At present the farm is growing vines on about 80 ha of land, a substantial portion of which, is uneconomic. The remaining 245 Ha of the land is unused.
The Vergenoegd Development Initiative requires the re-zoning of about 20% the farm area. The proposed development will provide funding for the tourism venture described above, re-invest and revitalise the wine farm business, and to make a major contribution to corporate social investment, in particular, job creation and housing development.
80% of the land will be retained for farming purposes and nature reserve.
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (SDI)
It is intended to create a Treasury Trust to administer the financial contributions made by the Vergenoegd Development Initiative for the purposes of corporate social investment.
Subject to the input of the various interested and affected parties, this project should contribute approximately 5% of the revenue received from the sale of residential land to the SDI.
It is also envisaged that a sustainable income flow will be set up from this development in order that the SDI may continue its work indefinitely. This is in line with current thinking on sustainable development initiatives set up for the public benefit. It is proposed that 1% of the proceeds of each subsequent sale of property will be gifted to the SDI.
The beneficiaries of the SDI shall, inter alia, be as follows:
THE NATION'S TRUST
The Nation’s Trust, who is our BBBEE partner in the Vergenoegd Development Initiative.
The Nation's Trust is an organisation which promotes the development of entrepreneurship in young people and to provide them, as far as possible, with the necessary skills, resources and facilities to create viable and sustainable businesses and employment opportunities for the future.
The principles of the Nation's Trust closely align with the views and principles of the developers, and this union of like-minded individuals, we believe, is a powerful asset which is necessary to bring this development to successful fulfilment.
This integrated development, if the zoning is granted, will make it possible to provide capital to assist the Nation's Trust in its good works.
This contribution will be the driver to create several thousand jobs.
The patrons of the Nation's Trust are Mr Nelson R Mandela, Mrs Zanele M Mbeki, her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and His Royal Highness, Charles, Prince of Wales.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
It is a clear objective of VDI to contribute directly to the delivery of entry level housing for local communities. Habitat have committed to us that they will deliver housing on our behalf with the funding received from the Treasury Trust.
AMENITIES FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES
The SDI will identify suitable organisations who will also benefit from VDI. For example a local AIDS clinic and a suitable children's fund.
