The 50th annual Festival of Lights was held in Somerset West last Thursday. Crowds were treated to a procession of drum majorettes, the Hottentots Holland brass band and Santa Claus riding on a donkey cart. The hightlight of the evening was the official 2012 switching-on of the Christmas lights adorning lamp posts along Main Road by Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille. All photos by Nicole McCain.

VAKANSIETYD SAAM MET JEUGGROEP: Die Strand-jeuggroep – Jericho, breaking down walls – bied ’n vakansieprogram vir kinders tussen 6 en 18 jaar aan. Die program “Het talent” word Sondae by die Apostoliese Geloofsending (AGS)-kerk op die hoek van Suraya en Valda-strate aangebied. Die groep was voorheen bekend as die AGS-jeug en het ten doel om lewensvaardighede aan die jongspan deur middel van die evangelie te leer. Die program het ook ten doel om armoede te verlig en dwelmmisbruik en tienerswangerskap aan te spreek. Thurlo Abrahams, jeug-koördineerder (links op foto), nooi alle organisasies om by die vakansieprogram aan te sluit, veral die wat lewensvaardighede kan aanbied. Vir nadere inligting, of om by die projek betrokke te raak, bel Abrahams by 084 763 3437.

Vaardigheid bemagtig haar tot suksesvolle sakevrou NICOLE MCCAIN Twee jaar gelede kon Marchelle Hendricks nie eers garing deur ’n naald steek nie. Vandag het sy ’n klein volhoubare besigheid deur haar nuut aangeleerde naaldwerkvaardighede. Die 38-jaar-oue ma van drie van Sir Lowry’s Pass het besluit om te leer naaldwerk doen nadat sy ’n lewensvaardigheidkursus by die Sir Lowry’s Pass Community Empowerment Project voltooi het. Die kursus het gefokus op die verhouding tussen ouers en kinders, maar het ook die behoefte raakgesien om ander vaardighede te ontwikkel, vertel die projek-koördineerder, Welna Jonker. Een van die kursusse wat hulle aanbied is naaldwerk. “Ek kon glad nie naaldwerk doen nie, en moes alles leer!” sê Marchelle. Marchelle het vinnig geleer en het gou kussingoortreksels, kussings en tafeldoeke ontwerp. “Toe ek sien wat ek als kan maak, het ek begin dink aan geld maak met die goedjies.” Marchelle doen verstelwerk en maak ook kussings, handsakke en tafelkleedjies. Met Welna se hulp word Marchelle se werk bemark by die weeklikse mark wat onlangs by
die Mount Rozier-landgoed begin is, maar meeste van haar bestellings kom van mense wat aan ander mense vertel van die items wat sy by uitstallings en kerkbasaars aanbied. Dié klein besigheid het haar lewe verander, sê Marchelle. Sy en haar familie het voorheen in ’n klein wendyhuis gebly, maar vandat sy haar produkte begin verkoop het, kon sy twee kamers by haar huis aanbou. Sy voeg by dat die waarde wat dit tot haar lewe bygedra het nie net geldelik is nie. Sy het haar familie en diegene rondom haar inspireer, maar ook haar eiewaarde ontdek. Marchelle gaan nou ook haar jongste dogter, Melicia, leer hoe om die handsakke te maak. “Ek wil hê vroue moet sien dat ’n mens nie ledig hoef rond te sit nie. Dit kos ’n bietjie toegewydheid en geduld, maar jy kan ook iets doen. “In vyf jaar sien ek myself as ’n suksesvolle besigheidsvrou . . . My doel en visie is om meer werk vir ander te skep. Ek wil vroue aanmoedig en laat besef dat daar iets in ’n mens se hande is waarvan ’n mens onbewus is.” Die gemeenskapsbemagtiging-projek het al sowat 20 vroue opgelei in naaldwerkvaardighede en bykans nog 50 in bak en kook. Vir meer inligting oor die projek, bel Welna Jonker by 082 827 7705 of Marchelle Hendricks by 078 140 7651.

Protest against renting homes NICOLE MCCAIN Lourensia Park residents are signing a petition to express their unhappiness with homeowners who are renting out their houses. A group of disgruntled residents gathered in protest last week Monday. Joyce Mzamo, chairperson of the beneficiary committee at Lourensia Park, said the community gathered to protest against a homeowner who allegedly owns a house in Strand and is renting out her Lourensia Park home. “Why did someone apply for a house if they already have one?” asked one of the protesters, who requested to remain anonymous. “We moved in a year ago, and the house has stood empty this whole time. These people don’t need houses, and there are so many people who do need homes.” Residents protested in September over another home that has been let. Bruce Oom, spokesperson for Bonginkosi Madikizela, the Western Cape MEC for Human Settlements, said: “When people are considered for houses, we try and make sure that they are the people who most need houses.” Applications are run through the Housing Subsidy System, a nationally linked system which verifies whether or not the applicant has ever owned
a property, currently owns a property or has previously received a subsidy. “If they register positive on any of the above, they are not eligible for a subsidy.” However, he said a beneficiary could unofficially own a property not registered in their name, or for which they have not received a subsidy.

What’s the value of festivities? NICOLE MCCAIN
Step into new shoes NICOLE MCCAIN
With the festive season upon us, Helderberg residents will be spending more on gifts and holidays. The Gazette spoke to readers about what they splash out on during the silly season.
Lwandle and Nomzamo pupils will step into the new year with a new pair of shoes, thanks to the Step Out Project.
Thomas Mehlomakulu of Nomzamo saves up in anticipation of festive season spending. “I put away money every month, but only spend around R500 more than usual. I buy clothes and gifts for my family, but don’t go away or throw parties.”
Shireen Wanza sê sy probeer om nie te veel te spandeer in Desember nie. “Ek doen casual werk, en kry my vakansie geld nou. Ek verdien nie genoeg om te spaar nie. Ons koop net kos, en so hier en daar ’n luxury.”
“Ek spandeer baie in Desember,” sê Zaida Duminy van Gordonsbaai. My familie vier Kersfees en ek moet geskenke koop, en ons gaan weg. Ek kom uit op my salaris, maar probeer spaar waar ek kan.”
Beaulah Mativenga from Strand says her festive spending is tied to how well her business does. “I have my own business, and this year it is a little slow. I always spend more in December, on food and clothes. You have to spoil yourself.”
Charles Krunn of Strand says he prepares for the festive season. “I save up right through the year. I spend money on food and gifts, but I never go away on holiday.” PHOTOS: NICOLE MCCAIN
“I spend much more money in December,” says Gibson Masara. “But I earn it from my work making beaded decorations. People request orders closer to Christmas. I spend the money on family, buying things for Christmas, and stocking up on books for school in January.”
Tuesday 11 December 2012
The project, which was started by Radio Helderberg presenter Annelia Preiss, collected 362 pairs of shoes from matrics from Hottentots Holland High, Parel Vallei High and Strand High, and donated them to pupils who are unable to afford new school shoes at Khanyolwethu and Simanyene High Schools. Simanyene High School teacher Phumza Peter says,
“This is something we need very much. “Many of our pupils are from poor families or are orphans, and depend on grants which are just not enough. ‘This is going to be such a big surprise to Phumza Peter, Radio Helderberg’s Kamulu Testhem. tus, Vuyiseka Manayi, Step Out Project’s Anne“They won’t marie Pretorius and Mlamli Nanthe with the even mind that shoes donated to Simanyene High School. the shoes have To donate to the project, been worn before.” Annelia says that next or for more information, year the project also hopes phone Annelia Preiss on 083 493 9862. to include sport shoes.

‘Arson’: families left homeless NICOLE MCCAIN The almost 40 people displaced in a fire in Pholile Park have started to rebuild their homes, but they have little justice to comfort them. Almost 20 informal homes were turned to ashes in the fire that broke out on Saturday 1 December at about 23:38. Lwandle police spokesperson, Constable Mthokozisi Gama, said a man set his girlfriend’s home alight after they had an argument. He then fled the scene, and the fire quickly spread to the neighbouring houses. Pholile Park resident Siphiwe Mfadu, said he was asleep in his home, along with his wife and two children, aged 9 and 12, at the time. He was woken by frantic screams of people, and found the area around him in flames.

Who gives Department of Labour the right to enter my home? My letter is in response to the article titled “Domestic workers to get wage increases” published in the Helderberg Gazette of 27 November. I have some problems with the spot inspections of the labour department. Do they assume the power to inspect my house? In a democratic society such powers are granted only to the police on probable cause, and to the law courts to order such inspection. If the department, however, would concentrate on their mathematics principles under-
lying the released figures first, the learning process would come to embrace the Constitution eventually. In the meantime, the department is forbidden to do such spot (house) inspections. This might fall under “breaking and entering”!
RICHARD UNGER
Page Boikanyo, spokesperson for the Department of Labour responds: “The inspectorate of the department is authorised by law to conduct inspections in the domestic sectoral determination”.
REPORT ABUSE: The Lwandle Library held an awareness day yesterday (Monday) to mark the end of the 16 Days of Activism Campaign for No Violence Against Women and Children. Ealier this year Lwandle Police, Station Commander Lieutenant Colonel Bongani Mtakati, estimated that domestic violence is reported to the station almost daily. The police has also dealt with numerous cases of child neglect. Zoliswa Kanuka, the event organiser, invited (from left) Patricia Thakholi (Patch), police spokesperson Constable Mthokozisi Gama and Nandipha Mantini (Department: Social Development) who encouraged the women and children who attended the event to report abuse and also informed them of organisations that offer support to victims of violence.

Make your own Christmas cards
Reindeer cards are a great holiday project for children.
PHOTO: KATESCREATIVESPACE.COM
Build a snowman While temperatures soar outside you can experience a traditional Christmas pastime with snowman building and ice skating at The Ice Station at GrandWest. Snowman building competitions will be held every Wednesday during the school holidays from 10:00 to 12:30. Prizes can be won for the biggest and best-dressed snow-
man, so bringing small spades, buckets and snowman accessories is essential. All good snowmen need eyes and noses and stick arms. Entry into the snowman building competition costs R5 and normal fees apply to anyone wanting to ice skate. Please contact The Ice Station on 021 535 2260 or www.icerink.co.za for more information
Why buy cards for Christmas when you and your children can make your very own at home? These simple and easy cards, featuring a reindeer made from hand- and footprints, are great fun to make, and make your cards so much more personal. You will need: Acrylic paint White paper or cardboard Coloured markers Decorations such as eyes, red pom-poms or buttons and scraps of gift wrap and glitter (optional) Method: Brush the paint onto your child’s hand, and press it firmly onto a sheet of paper or cardboard. Repeat with the other hand and one foot, making a V-shape with the hands, and placing the toes of the foot print at the join of the V. Use makers to add in details like eyes and nose, or use decorations such eyes, pom poms and glitter. Either fold the paper in half to make a card, or write you Christmas message in the back.

Gino se gim vir gesonde siele Eugene Pretorius van Macassar is passievol oor ’n gesonde leefstyl.
A GOOD READ ON MARTIAL ARTS: Master Suliman International Kung Fu and Tai Chi School SA launched their first Martial Arts Magazine on Saturday. The magazine, called Chi Health and Martial Arts Magazine, features over 30 different articles on the history of Kung Fu, the healing power of Tai Chi, acupuncture and travelling through China among others. For more information, contact Master Suliman International Kung Fu and Tai Chi School SA on 082 391 8621 or chimagazinesa@gmail.com. Presenting the magazine is author Maahirah Sampson (left) and Master Suliman Sampson from International Kung Fu & Tai Chi School receiving his first copy of Chi Health and Martial Arts Magazine.

Die 22-jarige bedryf sowat ’n jaar reeds ’n gimnasium, Gino’s Gym, vanaf sy huis by die F-woonstelle. “Ek glo dat ek, met my gimnasium, ’n bydrae in my gemeenskap maak. “Jongmense kan hul eerder besig hou met iets positief soos om na ’n gesonde leefstyl te streef pleks van betrokke te raak by negatiewe invloede soos dwelmmisbruik,” meen Eugene. Eugene sê hy het sy passie om fiks te bly aangeleer toe hy as senter vir rugbyklubs soos Macassaren St. Georges gespeel het. Sy werksure het hom egter weerhou om met die sport vol te hou en daarom het hy besluit om sy eie gimnasium by die huis te begin. Tans, sê hy, het die gim sowat agt permanente lede en kan mense nog aansluit. “Dit motiveer my om meer te wil doen, en ek sien elke dag uit na ons oefensessies. Mense moet egter ernstig oor hul fiksheid wees as hul by die gim wil aansluit, en nie slegs ’n paar keer kom en dan opgee nie,” waarsku Eugene. Die groep oefen Maandae tot Vrydae vanaf 17:30 tot 19:00. Belangstellendes kan Eugene by 078 690 7828 vir nadere besonderhede bel.
