Man sterf weens beserings ’n 57-Jarige man van Klein Nederburg is dood toe hy helder oordag deur ’n taxi gestamp is.

Die voorval het Sondagoggend omstreeks 09:30 in Lantanastraat gebeur toe Daniel Williams onder die wiele van ’n minibus-taxi beland het.

Williams is met ernstige beserings per ambulans na Paarl-hospitaal geneem. Hy is later die dag met die nooddienste na Tygerberg-hospitaal verplaas waar hy aan sy beserings beswyk het.

“Toe Williams se familie op die toneel kom het Williams in die pad gelê en van die pyn gekreun,” het polisiewoordvoerder lt. Diana Linee vertel.

Linee wil die gemeenskap waarsku om versigtig te wees wanneer hulle oor die paaie moet loop.

Sy vra ook dat alle bestuurders asseblief versigtig en oplettend moet wees wanneer hulle bestuur.

Enigiemand met meer inligting oor die voorval kan die polisiekantoor by 021 877 5900 bel.

The Paarl West Community Policing Forum (CPF) in partnership with the Paarl Police would like to inform the public of the crime tendencies for August. ) Residential burglaries: Incidents reported occurred mostly on a Monday and Saturday between 06:00 and 09:00, followed by 15:00 to 18:00.

The areas where most burglaries were reported were in the Northern Paarl area.

Most burglaries occurred between Retief and Pieter Wium Street as well as between Bosch and Koning streets.

The Denneburg area, which had very few incidents in the past, also had an increase in burglaries. ) Burglaries on farms: Farms in the Vryguns, Paardeberg and Malmesbury Road area reported the most burglaries for the month.

Business burglaries for these areas were mostly reported in the Dal Josaphat and Simondium farming areas.

Woman raped by child’s father On Saturday 30 August, a woman (37) from Mbekweni was raped by her child’s father. According to information, the suspect called the victim to arrange a meeting regarding their child. The suspect fetched the victim from her house and drove with her to nearby bushes in the Vlakkeland area across from Jan van Riebeeck Road. Here he ordered her to take off her clothes. When she refused he threatened her with a firearm and forced himself on her. After repeatedly raping her, he instructed her to get out of the vehicle but when she refused he pushed her out of the car. The 31-year-old suspect was arrested on charges of pointing a firearm, rape and assault with the intention to inflict grievous bodily harm.

) Business burglaries: Incidents reported occurred mostly on a Thursday and a Friday with the times reported being between 15:00 and 18:00 and 18:00 and 21:00.

The most incidents occurred in the Southern Paarl business area, followed by the CBD area and the area between Market and Van der Lingen streets. ) Theft out of a motor vehicle: Theft out of motor vehicle was a huge concern for the Paarl Police during the month of August with almost 70 cases being reported.

Incidents mostly occurred on Tuesdays,

Fridays, Sundays and the most on Saturdays.

The times of occurrence were between 15:00 and 21:00.

The most cases were reported in the central business district and midtown area, followed by the Denneburg area.

Groenvlei in the Northern Paarl area also had a high number of incidents. ) Good arrests: August showed good policing for Paarl Police as 34 persons were arrested for the possession of stolen property.

Some of these arrests led to the linking of business and residential burglaries.

Good arrests were further made for residential burglaries.

A concern brought under the attention of the Police and Community Policing Forum (CPF) is the releasing of suspects after arrests by the courts. This matter is regarded as serious and is being dealt with.

The CPF will keep the community informed regarding challenges faced.

South Africans have one of the highest rates of hypertension worldwide.

September being Heart Awareness Month, the Heart and Stroke Foundation SA is encouraging South Africans to “beat the pressure and get tested” by offering free blood pressure tests to the public.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is called the “silent killer” for a reason.

People do not usually show any signs or symptoms and once they realise that they have high blood pressure, it is often too late. One in three South African adults, 15 years or older, has hypertension and the majority of them are unaware that they have the condition.

Bemarking is soos boerdery DAVID MALHERBE Entrepreneurs, net soos boere, begin gewoonlik ’n besigheid met ’n droom van wat hulle graag wil bereik. Aangesien boere egter afhanklik is van die natuur, is hulle dalk meer realisties oor wat hulle binne ’n sekere tyd kan bereik.

Beide boere en entrepreneurs begin deur ’n klomp tyd en geld in die nuwe onderneming te steek. Vir die boer is dit om ná deeglike beplanning eerstens die plante in die grond te kry, dit dan te versorg en uiteindelik ná maande, of in die geval van wingerd en vrugte ná jare, die oes te kan afhaal.

Al is jy hoe haastig, jy kan nie juis die natuur aanjaag om gou te maak nie.

Dit verskil radikaal van wat ons meestal van ons bemarkingspogings verwag. Die boer weet dat as hy vandag die plantjies in die grond sit, daar teen môre nog geen kans op ’n oes sal wees nie. As entrepreneurs droom ons egter dikwels van kits-rykdom nadat ons die eerste advertensie per e-pos of in ’n koerant of tydskrif die wêreld ingestuur het. En as ons nie gou genoeg goeie besigheid begin doen nie, wil party sommer tou opgooi.

Ongelukkig geld dieselfde reëls vir besigheid as vir boerdery. Die spreekwoord “Onbekend is onbemind” is waar. Daar is studies wat getoon het dat as ’n nuwe besigheid begin om sy produkte of dienste te adverteer, reaksie dikwels eers na die sewende of agtste plasing enigsins wesenlik begin toeneem.

Bemarking hou verband met die bou van verhoudings met vreemdelinge en voornemende kopers en sulke verhoudinge word nie oornag gebou nie. Die boer weet dat dit harde werk en sorg verg gedurende die hele tyd wat dit neem vir die gewasse om te groei.

Boere weet ook dat alles nie noodwendig met die eerste probeerslag altyd reg uitwerk nie.

Soms is daar skade a.g.v diefstal, wind, hael of te veel / te min reën.

Maar as ons, soos die boer, sal aanhou om gereeld te bemark en voortdurend nuwe besigheidsverhoudinge met sorg te bou, sal die vrug daarvan met verloop van tyd ’n goeie oes lewer.

Onthou, Rome is nie in een dag gebou nie. * David Malherbe is ’n besigheids- en loopbaankonsultant en woon in Wellington. Hy kan gekontak word via sy webblad www.jedidiah.org.za of by T/F 021 873 0262 of op Facebook by “Jy die Entrepreneur.”

Spring clean your spending

Do you produce Mbekweni Muffins or Chicago Chocolates? Or maybe Klein Drakenstein Cookies or Smartie Town Sweets? Drakenstein Gazette wants to find out more about entrepreneurs who operate their unique businesses from their homes, making interesting products. Once a month the Gazette Entrepreneur of the Month will be selected. To enter or for more information, call 021 870 4614; email drakenstein@media24.com or visit our office at 1a New Street, Paarl.

As spring arrives, the cupboards and garage are not the only areas where we need to take an “out with the old, in with the new” approach. It is the ideal time to review finances and give wasteful spending the boot.

“While it is important to re-look your bank accounts, investments, policies and debts regularly to make sure your finances are on track, you should also consider spring cleaning usual spending routines and shopping habits,” says Eunice Sibiya, FNB’s head of consumer education.

Spending can be a fun activity for the whole family. Sibiya suggests that the more buy-in there is from all family members, the easier it will be to instil new habits and thinking about spending in the household.

Asking the following questions allows one to establish where money is being wasted and adjust your behaviour accordingly: ) Are you a forgetful shopper?

It happens to everyone: we visit the shops, forget whether we have a certain item at home, buy the item, only to find it in the cupboard. Items such as spices can be kept for quite some time, but buying more than needed is a waste.

“If you’re throwing products away because you are not using them or you have no need for them, you are wasting money.

Solve this problem by drawing up your shopping list at home before you head to the shops,” says Sibiya. ) Are you buying brands out of habit?

We get so used to using a certain brand that we seldom consider that there might be alternative options that are of the same quality and at a cheaper price.

“There are often more reasonably priced alternatives of equal quality on the shelves.

Take some time to sit with the weekly supermarket catalogue and compare the prices.

Make the most of the specials and try out different brands. You might find that you prefer another brand to the one you always used

and save a buck in the process.”

Ask the children to circle the cheapest items in the weekly supermarket catalogue or bring you your normal brand. This saves time and serves as an educational price comparison exercise for the kids. ) Do you need the full satellite subscription?

Establish what you watch most of and opt for alternatives. If it is movies, why not consider taking out DVDs when you are planning to have a movie night. Alternatively, subscribe to a cheaper monthly offer which will save you money and you might be pleasantly surprised at how this increases the quality of time that the family spends together. ) Are you checking your slips?

Not checking your till slips, whether at a garage, restaurant or shop, is one of the worst shopping habits that a lot of us have. You could be paying for items that are not in the basket.

“The amount of water and electricity saving tips are numerous, yet we seem to so easily forget the ease of driving down our water and electricity bill. Read up on a few of these tips online.”

Place a tin in the kitchen and incorporate some rules that discourage negligent habits.

These monies can be used to contribute to additionalexpensesinandaroundthehouse. ) Are you buying all your items at one store?

Not shopping around can hurt your wallet.

One store might be better to shop at for perishables and the same store might charge more for household cleaning goods. Shop at malls where a variety of stores are available to choose from.

“Spring is a great time to take a fresh approach to your daily financial activity.

Don’t let this time come and go without checking in on your spending habits,” Sibiya concludes.
