Gestremdheid kry hom nie onder nie DEVIDEAN MOSES “My lewe het nie tot stilstand gekom nie”.

Só vertel konstabel Aurmand de Koker (29) van Paarl-Oos-polisiestasie wat op 28 Januarie 2009 tydens ’n klopjag geskiet is.

De Koker, wat toe nog vars uit die Polisie Kollege was, het by die Kraaifontein-polisiestasie gewerk.

Terwyl hy en sy kollega ’n gebied gepatrolleer het, het hulle ’n oproep ontvang van ’n rooftog.

“Ons het dadelik hierop gereageer en na die die toneel gery. Daar het ons gesien hoe die verdagtes ’n winkel roof en toe in ’n blou Mazda 323 weg ry,” vertel hy.

Die twee konstabels het onmiddellik die spul verdagtes agterna gesit. Die verdagtes het talle skote op die polisievoertuig geskiet tydens die jaagtog.

Hulle het tot stilstand gekom, uit die motor gespring en verder te voet gevlug. De Koker en sy kollega het hulle agterna gesit.

“Ek het een van die verdagtes in sy hand raak geskiet en hom in hegtenis geneem. My kollega het steeds die ander gejaag,” sê De Koker.

FOTO: DEVIDEAN MOSES Verder, vertel De Koker, terwyl hy die verdagte in die vangwa plaas, het daar ’n bakkie vol mans langs hom stil gehou.

“Ek dog dis net nuuskierige lede van die publiek.”

Dis tóe waar De Koker se lewe in ’n oogwink onherroeplik verander het.

Een van die mans in die bakkie het ’n pistool direk na De Koker gerig en hom in sy nek geskiet.

“My kollega het terug gehardloop en op die mans begin skiet.” De Koker, wat toe in ’n plas bloed gelê het, is te hulp gesnel deur polisieversterkings wat daar aangekom het.

Al die verdagtes is toe in hegtenis geneem.

De Koker is per helikopter na ’n hospitaal in Milnerton geneem vir behandeling. Daar is die skoknuus aan hom gegee dat hy nooit weer sal kan loop nie.

“Dit was ’n groot skok. Maar ek het besef dat ek bly moet wees dat ek nog leef.

“Danksy die Universiteit van Kaapstad se rehabilitasie-sentrum is my selfvertroue herbou en hulle het my geleer om goed oor die weg te kom in ’n rolstoel. Dit was ’n groot aanpassing, maar ek het vrede met my situasie gemaak en aangepas,” vertel hy trots.

Vandag is hy 20% fisies gestremd en werk steeds as ’n konstabel in die inligtingsbestuursentrum van Paarl-Oos-polisiestasie.

De Koker is ook vanjaar ’n derde jaar LLBstudent by Unisa en hoop om eendag verder ’n beroep in die regte te volg.

Young man dies after shebeen argument DEVIDEAN MOSES A 20-year-old man was found dead in Alexis Street, Paarl-East near a squatter camp, with stab wounds in the chest.

A complaint was received by the PaarlEast police on Sunday 9 February at 01:00 regarding a fight at a shebeen. When they

arrived at the shebeen, the police found a man, lying in a pool of blood on the ground.

He was taken to Paarl Hospital, but died later of his injuries.

According to Lt. Diana Linee, spokesperson of Paarl-East police, eye-witnesses told them that the victim and the suspect had had an argument over a broken bottle of beer.

Both the victim and suspect started a fight.

The suspect was arrested a few hours after the incident. He appeared in the Paarl Magistrate court on Monday on a murder charge.

He remains in custody until his bail hearing is heard.

Paarl-East police asks people to report all complaints to the police, on 021 877 5900.

Women raped and assaulted DEVIDEAN MOSES A 55-year-old woman from Plumbago Street in Klein Nederburg became a victim of rape in her home this past weekend.

The incident occurred on Saturday (8 February at 18:00. According to Lt Diana Linee, spokesperson for Paarl-East police, the victim’s assailant, who lives in the same area, was having a conversation with her when he started assaulting her before dragging her into her shack and raping her. The victim tried to scream for help but her attacker grabbed her neck and tried to strangle her. She was treated at Paarl Hospital and later transferred to Tygerberg Hospital for further tests. The suspect was arrested on Sunday 9 February and appeared in the Paarl Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday 12 February.

In the past week two other rapes were also reported at the Mbekweni Police Station. According to the police the first incident happened on Saturday 8 February at 04:00 when a 28-year-old woman was allegedly threatened with a knife

and taken to an unknown area where she was raped. Her assailant was arrested and appeared in the Paarl Magistrate’s Court on Monday 10 February.

In a separate incident, a 40-year-old woman from Phola Park, Mbekweni was also raped.

According to police, the victim was walking from her sister’s place in Dommedaris Street when she met four guys who grabbed and pulled her into a shack in Phola Park. Three of the suspects stood outside the shack while one went inside with her and raped her. She later managed to escape. On her way home she saw a police van and reported the crime. The police immediately went to the scene and arrested the 41-year-old suspect. He appeared in court on Monday 10 February.

On Saturday 9 February, provincial traffic authorities conducted a roadblock in the Mbekweni area and arrested five drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol. The suspects released later that evening with a warning to appear in the Paarl Magistrate’s Court.

Girl (17) raped at restaurant A 17-year-old rape victim had to hear from a friend that people were talking on Facebook of how she was raped at a local restaurant in Mbekweni.

According to information, the 17-year-old girl and a friend were drinking at Chippa’s Place in Mbekweni last Sunday night.

She got hungry and went to ask a casual worker for something to eat.

The man allegedly told her to go to a VIP section where he gave her food, but before she could finish it, she blacked out.

The victim was woken up by another worker. Her pants were down to her knees. Hereafter she realised that she had been raped.

Serg. Nceba Vanqa, police spokesperson said the victim was later told by a friend that she heard that people were talking on Facebook about the incident.

A case of rape is being investigated. The suspect has not been arrested yet. Anyone with information which can lead to his arrest can contact Mbekweni detectives at 021 868 9926.

Help with pregnancy The Rock Crisis Pregnancy Centre, situated at 27 Berg River Boulevard, has been involved in helping many clients finding themselves in a situation of crisis pregnancy since 2001.

This is a non-judgemental and openly honest setting in which anyone seeking assistance can receive information and support. In many cases girls/women fall victim to unplanned pregnancies. The years from a young girl’s first menstruation until the time of menopause, between the ages of 48 and 55 years, are child-bearing years. This means that during this period, every woman is at risk of falling pregnant if she is sexually active.

The choice of becoming sexually active is therefore one that should never be taken lightly. Should it be your choice to be sexually active, first make sure that you and your sexual partner are well protected from falling pregnant or becoming infected from possible sexual infections. The centre has found that upon enquiring about what protection was in place at the time of falling pregnant, people have said: “I did not think it would happen the first time round” and “he told me to stop my contraception – now that I’m pregnant he’s left”.

Some words of advice: If he’s not working and earning an income, then he can’t afford to support a child. If he has other children he is not supporting financially, he won’t support yours.

“He used condoms sometimes/every time.”

You cannot rely solely on a condom. It’s a far wiser choice to also be on your own contraception which can be obtained at your local clinic.

In front of the centre are Mark Cerfonteyn (back), chairman of Rock Community Care, Jan Cerfonteyn (left), one of the directors and Glenda Sweetnam, chief counsellor at Rock Crisis Pregnancy Centre.

Lastly, some women have also said: “I thought I was too old”.

It is up to you to monitor your sexual activities wisely if you want to avoid an unplanned pregnancy no matter what your age.

Remember to think sensibly before deciding to become sexually active. If sex is the main focus in your relationship, it’s not a healthy relationship. The Rock Crisis Pregnancy Centre encourages you to live your life wholesomely and to make good choices that provide you with a secure future. For more information call Glenda Sweetnam on 021 872 8716 at Rock Crisis Pregnancy Centre or email: glenda@rockcommunitycare.org.

Entrepreneurs: Raad vir skuld DAVID MALHERBE Nadat ek die vorige twee weke oor stygende rentekoerse en skuld geskryf het, het ek heelwat navrae van lesers ontvang wat raad soek oor hoe hulle hul skuldprobleme moet hanteer.

Daarom het ek besluit om hierdie week nog ’n bietjie stil te staan by skuld en krediet.

In die eerste plek glo ek dit is baie belangrik om te onthou dat as jy enigiets op skuld koop, gaan jy heelwat meer daarvoor betaal as wanneer jy dit kontant sou koop. So, as jy nie nou die geld het om dit kontant te koop nie, hoekom wil jy nog meer vir dieselfde item betaal?

Ek weet daar is groot aankope soos ’n huis en voertuie wat die meeste van ons nooit sal kan koop as ons dit nie

kan afbetaal nie. Maar ek glo kleiner items soos kos, klere, en so voorts moet ons liewer kontant koop.

Kredietkaarte is net so moeilik om af te betaal. Jy hoef elke maand slegs tien persent terug te betaal, maar elke maand koop jy weer daardie tien persent vol en die skuld word nooit afbetaal nie. Mense sê die beste raad om van kredietkaartskuld ontslae te raak, is plastiese chirurgie; sny die kredietkaart in klein stukkies op en gooi dit in die drom. Betaal dan maandeliks die skuld daarop af en koop wat jy met die kaart sou gekoop het, kontant. Die groot voordeel is dat jy binnekort nie meer elke maand nog ’n klomp rente ook gaan betaal nie, en jy gaan die rentegeld ekstra hê om mee te koop.

Sou jy die maand nie genoeg geld hê om al jou uitstaande rekeninge te betaal nie of jy kry dalk aanmanings-

briewe van skuldeisers, moenie net stilbly en dink die probleem sal verdwyn nie. Gaan liewer na die skuldeiser toe en verduidelik jou situasie aan en beding ’n ooreenkoms van hoe jy beplan om die skuld terug te betaal en baie belangrik, hou by die reëling wat jy getref het.

Maak 2014 die jaar wat jy gaan probeer om uit skuld uit te kom, en hou dan aan om sover moontlik kontant en skuldvry te leef.

David Malherbe en Dewald Scholtz gesels Maandagaand van 19:00 tot 20:00 verder oor hierdie onderwerp op Radio KC 107.7 FM tydens die program Jy die Entrepreneur.

SA has low organ donation rate According to the Organ Donor Foundation, 4 300 South African adults and children are awaiting for solid organ transplants that could be life saving or life enhancing to them.

South Africa has one of the lowest organ donation rates in the world (2-3 per million population, compared to 13 per million in the United Kingdom and 30 per million in Spain.)

In an attempt to increase the number of organ donors, Groote Schuur Hospital launched an organ donation drive. This is a provincial initiative and is an important step to improve the wellness of people who need organs.

Western Cape Minister of Health, Theuns Botha, said, “Patients are dying because of a shortage of organ donations that could save lives and patients waiting for organs require on-going care while their health deteriorates, which places an increased burden on the health services. By becoming an organ donor, you could save the lives of up to seven people. It’s not only organs that are transplanted, but other tissue is also used, for example, skin can be transplanted onto patients with severe burns. As a country, we need to aim for at least 1% of the South

African population being registered as organ donors by the end of 2014 and we will start to save lives,” There are currently 16 hospitals in South Africa where transplants are performed. Kidney transplants are done at all centres. Liver transplants are done at Johannesburg Academic Hospital, the Donald Gordon Medical Centre and in Cape Town at Groote Schuur Hospital and Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. Heart and lung transplants

are offered at Groote Schuur and Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospitals in Cape Town as well as Milpark in Johannesburg and Ethekwini Hospital in Durban. Pancreatic transplants are currently available only in Johannesburg. In addition to Groote Schuur Hospital in the Western Cape, transplants are also done at Tygerberg Hospital.

Organ transplantation is the surgical removal of an organ or tissue from one person (the donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). The beneficiaries could be people with end stage solid organ disease (kidney, heart, liver, pancreas, lung) or people receiving tissue donation. (bone, bone marrow, corneas, skin or heart valves). Most donated organs are from people who have died (cadaver donation), but living persons also donate organs (kidney) and tissue such as blood, stem cells, platelets, etc.

People are also encouraged to become donors by contacting the Organ Donor Foundation 080 022 6611 or go onto www.odf.org.za to register as donors.

More importantly registered donors need to tell their family of their wishes and that they have registered with the ODF. At the time of the person’s death, the law requires that the family give their consent for organ donation by signing a consent form.

There ís help for migraine sufferers Too often, what you may think is a stress, sinus or tension headache, could actually be a migraine.

“If you have headaches that impact your life and prevent you from doing your normal activities, that you miss out on family functions, that you find that you’re taking an over-the-counter medication on a daily basis - you really need to see a health-care provider to be diagnosed properly so that you can be treated appropriately,” says Suzanne Simons, National Headache Federation executive director.

To help you recognise whether you may suffer from migraines, try this quick quiz: Do you ever get a throbbing, one-sided headache? Do you feel sick or vomit when you have a headache? Is your headache preventing you from performing your regular activities?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, you may be suffering from a migraine headache.

“Some people with migraines don’t even bother to see their doctor because they don’t

Nommers vir nood Paarl-hospitaal: 021 860 2500 Paarl Mediclinic: 021 807 8000 Metro-ambulans: 021 937 0500

think anything can be done for them,” Simons says.

“There are migraine-specific medications available and it’s important that people understand that, and that they talk to their healthcare provider about whether those types of medications would be appropriate for them,” she

says.

“If this was a disease for which there were no treatments, that would be a tragedy in and of itself. But I think the bigger tragedy is that we do have great medications out there, and people aren’t getting them,” she adds.

If you’ve gone to your doctor about your migraines and haven’t been satisfied, Simons urges you to make an appointment to go back and stress how the migraines are interrupting your life. Be fully prepared with detailed information about your migraines.

That information should include how often the headaches occur, how long they last, their location, the type of pain, any factors that may trigger them, or anything that may wors-

en or provide relief during an attack. You also should provide details on any prescription, over-the-counter or herbal products you may be taking or have tried.

You have to be a self-advocate, Simons says.

“The bottom line is that migraine is a biological disease and, as such, it should be treated as a biological disease.” - www.health24.com
