Met Valentynsdag om die draai, is romantiese aandjies uit, blomme, geskenke en soete herinneringe van ’n eerste ontmoeting in die meeste verliefdes se gedagtes. Maar vir een egpaar van Macassar hou die maand van liefde, en Valentynsweek, vanjaar ’n tikkie ekstra waarde in. Faiza en Mogammad Allie Edwards is vandeesweek 45 jaar getroud, en met statistiek soos nuwe huwelike wat die afgelope sewe jaar met 10% in Suid-Afrika afgeneem het, en tot die helfte van alle huwelike wat in die skeihof eindig, is dit voorwaar ’n rare verskynsel. Die paartjie, bekende en geliefde gesigte in die Macassar-gemeenskap, is in 1968 getroud en probeer om ’n voorbeeld van liefde en toewyding te wees – nie net aan mekaar nie, maar ook aan die gemeenskap met wie hulle hul omgee deel. “Die mense is baie lief vir ons, want ons is so lief vir Macassar,” sê Faiza. Hul spore is ver en diep getrap in die gemeenskap. Mogammad Allie het ’n groentewinkel en Faiza het meer as tien jare gelede ’n sopkombuis in Macassar oopgemaak. “Van 1992 af werk ek met die kinders. Ek maak vir hulle kos en ons vat klere vir hulle. Ek gee dit uit my hart uit. Dis koud en ek voel so hartseer as hulle nat reën.” Hulle gee ook brood vir die bejaardes by die kliniek en as iemand aan hul deur klop, sal hulle altyd kos vir hulle gee. “Allah gee vir jou. As jy vir ander gee, gee Allah vir jou,” sê Faiza. Hulle sterk geloof speel ’n groot rol in hul verhouding. “Ons is baie lief vir mekaar. Allah gee ons vir mekaar en ons wil ’n spieël wees vir ander.” Sy onthou steeds hoe hulle ontmoet het terwyl Mogammad Allie nog rugby gespeel het vir die Ferns-rugbyklub. “Ek het hom op die veld gesien. Hy was ’n goeie speler en ek het gedink hy’s die regte man vir my.” Vir Mogammad Allie was dit liefde met die eerste oogopslag en sy liefde het deur die jare

net sterker geraak. “Tydens ons courtship het ek besef sy is ’n lieflike persoon.” Hulle is op 11 Februarie getroud en Faiza sê sy sal die dag nooit vergeet nie. “Dit was exciting. Ek kon nie glo Allah sou so ’n goeie mens vir my gee nie.” Mogammad Allie sê: “Dit voel nie so lank nie. Dit voel asof ons gister getroud is.” Die egpaar het drie kinders en tien kleinkinders en wil ’n goeie voorbeeld vir hulle wees. “Die geheim van ’n suksesvolle verhouding is om mekaar te verstaan,” sê Mogammad Allie. “Jou agtergrond is nie dieselfde nie, maar jy moet die twee saamsmelt.” Volgens Mogammad Allie is dit belangrik

The Edwards couple might have chosen a romantic getaway to celebrate their love, but others have been a bit more outrageous: • Mass weddings where from a handful to hundreds of couples get married in the same ceremony are quite popular. • A French man ended his internet relationship after meeting the woman he had been courting online for the first time. When they finally met, they were realised they were mother and son. According to scambusters.org, however, this story is an urban legend. • A Capetonian pinched a giant blowup heart that used to adorn the parking lot of a shopping mall in the city. He lay underneath the deflating heart overnight in order to transport it and then inflated it in front of the house of his sweetheart – for the whole neighbourhood to see. • A man in East Hampton in the United States who claims that his wife had once given him the best Valentine’s gift ever, posted a comment on www.msnbc.com saying that five lottery tickets were among the gifts she gave him that day. One of the tickets turned out to be a winning ticket worth $20 000. • Writing to more than 3 500 women to track down a potential lover could be considered crazy. According to www.guy-sports.com a Canadian reportedly met a girl called Sabine while travelling, but he was too shy to get her number or address. He started his quest by finding out the addresses of all Belgian women called Sabine – and writing to them. They reportedly made contact when her brother heard a radio broadcast on the subject. It is not clear what happened after their first phone call.

om tyd met mekaar deur te bring. “Ons bid saam, ons eet saam. Dis baie belangrik.” Faiza stem saam en sy doen steeds moeite vir haar man. “Ek maak myself steeds mooi, en ons hou mekaar

vir hom nog steeds vas.” Hulle mag al 45 jaar saam wees, maar dié paartjie is nog ooglopend verlief. “Dís nou die liefde van my lewe,” sê Faiza met ’n glimlag. Die paartjie vier hul huweliksherdenking en Valentynsdag met ’n romantiese vakansie hierdie week.

For the love of reunions “Losing a pet is a heartbreaking process. And if there’s someone who can help reunite owners with their pets, they need to know about it.” This is why 47-year-old Louise Spagnuolo started Lost and Found Pets Helderberg, a free service that helps owners find missing pets. Louise uses a photo-based poster system to help easily identify the missing animal, which she distributes via social networking sites. However, her concern lies with Helderberg residents who may not have access to the Internet. “We get a lot of animals from Lwandle and Strand, and you can see they are well looked after. But the owners don’t know how to go about finding them.” Finding a lost animal as quickly as possible is vital,

Louise Spagnuolo, with her dogs says Louise, as they can be rehomed after seven days at Animal Welfare. This is why Louise gives a helping hand to owners. The first step is to contact her and she will help the home-owner

contact all the local vets and animal welfare organisations in the area. She makes a poster with a photo and distributes it to local shops and vets and also spreads the information online. But Louise’s role doesn’t stop there. She makes herself available to give owners advice and support while they look for their pet. “I’m just someone to talk to.” She has only been running Lost and Found Pets Helderberg for a year and part-time while she works and cares for her family, but has had wonderful results. “In December, our busiest month, we had a 75% success rate. And that’s with picking up between two and ten strays a day.” For Lost and Found Pets Helderberg, contact or SMS Louise on 081 041 7982, or email lostandfoundheld@yahoo.com

Police action added to list of Lwandle grievances NICOLE MCCAIN Public displays of dissatisfaction continued in Lwandle last week, as protesters gathered in front of both the Lwandle police station and In2Food. Community members marched to the police station on Wednesday, after police had broken up their public meeting, according to community spokesperson Thuliswa Sokhiya. Spokesperson for the Lwandle police, Constable Mthokozisi Gama, said that during the previous protests, charges had been made against a community leader for damage to In2Food property, as well as damage to vehicles that drove past. Gama says the police had gone to the gathering in hopes of arresting the suspect and not to disperse the crowd. A meeting was arranged between police and the community on Thursday morning, which prompted another protest in front of In2Food. “We don’t understand how they can press charges against one person, when the whole community was responsible,” said Sokhiya. Charly Nolte, spokesperson for In2Food, said, “In the light of both the various acts of deliberate vandalism and the assault on a member of the public, accountability was only to

Lwandle residents protest outside the Lwandle police station on Wednesday. be expected.” She referred the Gazette to the police for further comment. In2Food and representatives of the community met on Friday, but it appears no solution was found. “In2Food has rejected demands to unilaterally replace segments of its current staff with specially designated Lwandle residents, as this is unlawful and unrealistic. Spokespeople for this group simply dismissed the legislated requirements for Employment Equity as a ‘technicality’, as it did not suit their agenda,” said Nolte. Community representatives have called for

Keep your PIN safe at ATM NICOLE MCCAIN After a spate of ATM frauds in the Strand area, a Gazette reader has come forward with a warning: guard your PIN, or you may not be reimbursed after a theft. Porsha Nonma, who works at Builders Warehouse in the Helderberg, was at an FNB ATM in Khayelitsha on 19 December when she became a victim of fraud. As if the theft was not enough, Nonma has been fighting ever since to receive a form of compensation from her bank, Capitec. She says there was no one in the queue behind her, or around the ATM. After putting in her card, she was asked to enter the PIN twice, and then a noticed appeared saying she had entered her PIN incorrectly. “I was sure it was the right PIN, so I thought something was wrong. I decided to rather leave it then.” When she tried to cancel the transaction, her card would not come out the machine. While at the ATM, she called Capitec and cancelled her card. However, after she had ended the call, she received notification that R3 000 had been withdrawn from her account and another R7 000 airtime had been purchased, in R1 000 instalments. Nonma says she filed a charge with the police and gave all the relevant information to the bank to launch an investigation. She was told she would be contacted within three days but was not. She then followed up with Capitec on three occasion, and finally received a phone call from the bank on 26 January. “I spoke to a woman who told me that my money would not be refunded, because my PIN had been compromised.”

Nonma says she is struggling to understand why she has not been refunded. “Why did I get robbed? The bank was robbed.” At the time of print, Capitec had not yet provided a response. As a general rule, Eric Larson, spokesperson for Standard Bank, says, “If there is a clear indication that the PIN has been compromised, in general, banks do not pay. But each case is assessed individually.” He says ATM users should cancel the transaction as soon as they realise something is wrong. Keep in mind the following safety tips when withdrawing money at an ATM: ) Remain aware of your surroundings without allowing anything or anyone to distract you while doing your ATM banking; ) Choose a familiar and well-lit ATM where you are more visible and safe; ) If you think the ATM is faulty cancel the transaction, immediately report the fault to the bank and try another ATM to transact; ) Be cautious of strangers offering to help as they could be trying to distract you in order to get your card or PIN details; ) Memorise your PIN, never write it down or share it with anyone; ) Don’t let anyone stand too close to you whilst at the ATM and shield the keypad when entering your PIN to ensure that no one can see it.

Protesters were met with strong security as they picketed outside In2Food on Thursday.

50% of the In2Food staff to be from Lwandle. Notle added, “In2food remain committed to the equitable placement of all groups of applicants and it will not be blackmailed into arbitrary considerations such as residential proximity to our premises becoming criteria for conferring arbitrary preferential treatment.” Nolte maintains the protest action is being driven by private interests, instead of the community’s concerns. “After having sporadically and unlawfully interrupted operations at our premises, with subsequent criminal acts of

vandalism against the company, SAPS and the general public, it is now clear that this small group of self-appointed ‘community agitators’ have targeted several employers in the Lwandle/Strand area and have embarked on an extortion campaign of threatening disruption and violence unless their unrealistic and unconstitutional demands are met.” Community spokesperson Ntsika Bavuyise said the action does not stem from only a select few individuals, but rather the whole community, roughly 50% of which are unemployed.

Liefde is . . . ‘as jou wange rooi trek en jy net lag’ NICOLE MCCAIN

Jasnique van Staden gaan ’n Valentynsdaggeskenk vir haar ma gee. “Ek gaan ’n kaart maak, en dankie sê dat sy my grootgemaak het en vir my lief is,” sê dié graad 6-leerling.

Met Valentynsdag om die draai, het die Gazette ’n paar graad 5’s en 6’e van Macassar Primêr gevra om hul wysheid oor die liefde met ander leerlinge te deel.

Lenique Maans, graad 5, verduidelik hoekom ons Valentynsdag vier: “Dit gaan oor liefde. Ons vier die dag, want elke een van ons het liefde nodig.”

Marshall Martin, graad 5, sê dis maklik om te wys hoe lief jy vir iemand is. “Jy kan hulle iets spesiaal gee, soos ’n bos blomme of sjokolade en ’n brief. Dis ook in hoe jy jouself gedra. Jy moet haar respekteer en vir haar liefde wys.”

Elroy Miller, graad 5, sê jy weet jy is verlief wanneer “sy mooi is”. “Jy voel ook liefde in jou hart.”

Kevoné Josephs, graad 6, sê sy sien uit na Valentynsdag. “Dis ’n spesiale dag vir almal. Jy wys mense jy is lief vir hulle.”

Melissa Booysen, graad 6, sê sy weet hoe dit voel om verlief te wees. “Jou wange trek rooi, en jy lag net. Jy weet jy’s verlief wanneer jy alles van ’n persoon se persoonlike lewe wil weet.” FOTO’S: NICOLE MCCAIN

Graad 6-leerling Clayton Prins sê ’n mens wys liefde deur hoe jy jouself gedra. “Ek respekteer hulle. Ek sê ek hou van jou, ek gee om vir jou, en ek sal nooit kwaad aan jou doen nie. As jy in die moeilikheid is, sal ek jou help.”

Lindsay Johannes, ook graad 5, sê sy weet haar ouers is lief vir mekaar omdat hulle dit elke dag wys. “Hulle behandel mekaar met respek, en gee mekaar drukkies. Hulle sê ook hulle is lief vir mekaar.”

Graad 6 Andrea Coerd sê haar gunsteling-liefdesliedjie is “Baby Tjoklits” van Kurt Darren. “’n Mens toon respek vir iemand deur hulle rose en sjokolade te gee.”

Michandré Miggles, graad 5, gaan haar ma hierdie Valentynsdag bederf. “Ek gaan my ma rose gee of blomme, of ’n koppie met ’n teddiebeer daarin. Ek weet nie wat ek sal kry nie, maar my mammie gee my elke jaar iets.”

Die geskenk wat jy gee, verklap iets van jóú ENIGE man wat sy sout werd is, behoort te weet dat ’n mens nie sommer net in ’n winkel kan instap en die eerste die beste Valentynsdaggeskenkie gryp nie. Nie net omdat jy ’n koue skouer wil vermy nie, maar ook omdat die Evasgeslag baie meer in daardie geskenkies lees as wat die manne graag sal wil glo. Die Gazette het ’n groep vroue gevra om te sê wat hulle dink van die geskenke wat mans op dié liefdesdag gee (en watter indruk daardie geskenke van die mans skep natuurlik). Die eerste reël is klaarblyklik nie om níks te gee nie – al het julle vooraf besluit die dag is net ’n “geldmaakstorie” en beteken nie vir julle veel nie. “Vir een of ander rede is dit nie lekker vir ’n vrou om géén spesiale aandag op Valentynsdag te kry nie,” sê Madré. “My kêrel, soos baie ander, glo dat die dag net ’n geldmaakstorie is, maar tog.” Die plastiekrose wat in hul hordes in winkels te sien is, moet liefs vermy word – vroue dink nie net dit is “cheezy” en goedkoop nie, maar dit skep ook maklik die indruk dat die man nie werklik vir die meisie omgee nie en net iets gekoop het omdat hy “moes”. Feitlik dieselfde geld vir klein ornamentjies met “I love you”-boodskappies daar op, hoewel dit nie heeltemal so maklik as belediging gesien word nie. “Die man is nie só oorspronklik nie,” sê Sippora, “maar probeer ten minste.” Lewende blomme, daarteenoor, is altyd welkom. “Blomme is mooi en dit laat my net so mooi voel,” sê Marissa. En as hy dit by die werk laat aflewer is dit véél beter: “Miskien is dit net daardie openbare verklaring van liefde wat sê: ‘This is my woman and I am proud of having her in my life!’” sê Riana. Marissa meen hoewel juwele eerder vir herdenkings en verjaarsdae gehou moet word en ietwat te veel is om op Valentynsdag te gee, laat dit haar tog voel of die man dink sy is mooi en die moeite werd om “versier” te word. Sippora, daarteenoor, waarsku dat dit die vrou kan laat dink die man wil wys dat hy geld het. Boonop móét hy seker wees dat hy die meisie se smaak ken as hy juwele wil aanskaf – hy wil haar nie in die ongemaklike posisie plaas om iets waarvan sy glad nie hou nie te móét dra om sy gevoelens te beskerm nie. “Die gedagte word altyd waardeer,” sê Riana, “maar

die verkeerde geskenk of gebaar laat meer dikwels ’n gevoel van teleurstelling en mens kan amper eerder verkies om niks te kry nie as om die verkeerde ding te kry.” Juis daarom is die een ding wat al die vroue se harte warmer laat klop, ’n teken dat hy werklik aan haar gedink het terwyl hy die geskenk gekoop of gekry het; en goed genoeg oplet om haar smaak te ken, want feitlik alles (behalwe plastiekblomme) sal volgens die dames in die haak wees as dit “goed gekies is”. “Die beste geskenk of gebaar is iets wat vir jou se dat jou geliefde aan jou gedink het toe hy dit gekry of beplan het,” sê Riana. “Net die feit dat hy moeite doen, soos ’n roos of ’n blom voor jy werk toe gaan, ’n love letter in jou broeksak of sommer ’n stay at home dinner,” sê Sippora. “So ietsie wat sê: ‘Hey, ek is baie lief vir jou en jy laat my hart bollemakiesie slaan.’ Dit hoef nie iets fancy of groots te wees nie; die kleiner dingetjies beteken soms meer!” “Dit is die opregtheid van die gebaar wat tel,” sê Anja. “Al kry ek ’n geplukte blom met ’n koppie koffie in die bed, en dit word opreg bedoel, is dit meer as genoeg. “Weet jy, as hy net die inisiatief sal neem, sal dit waardeer word. Al moet ek die geskenkie gaan omruil...” is ’n ander vrou se opmerking. Volgens Luisa is haar man nie baie groot daarop nie, maar so eenmaal in ’n dekade of so gaan hy uit sy pad uit om moeite te doen. “Hy het een jaar ’n fotograaf gekry en ’n swart pak aangetrek . . . en meer foto’s laat neem soos wat hy die klere laat waai. Die laaste foto was in ’n bokser. O, en toe het hy die foto’s in die huis versteek en ek het skattejag gedoen. Dit was baie cool!” ’n Handgeskrewe briefie met woorde wat uit die hart uit kom is volgens die vroue die nommer een-geskenk op Valentynsdag! Luisa som dit op: “Woorde maak baie meer saak as ’n fancy kaartjie. ’n Wit A4-papier met mooi woorde op beteken vir my baie meer as geskenke, duur rose en juwele.” Madré stem saam: “Volgens my beteken ’n handgeskrewe brief baie meer as ’n kaartjie, plastiekblomme, regte blomme, teddiebeertjies of goetertjies wat mens by Cardies kan koop, want daai briefie kan mens nie koop nie en is net vir jou.”

Readers let their fingers do the talking Residents sent in quite a number of SMSes this week, ranging from reactions to the living conditions of the people of Riemvasmaak, to a question about the absence of the regular Gazette recipe: RIEMVASMAAK TOILETS ) How did the toilet door in Riemvasmaak cometoberemoved?Surelyamemberofthecommunity can put it back on again? And pick up their own rubbish? No wonder they are poor if they don’t even want to help themselves. – Ingrid ) Dit is nie net Riemvasmaak wat sleg lyk nie. Kom kyk maar in die hele Van der Merwestraat in die Strand hoe vol onkruid is die sypaadjies en hoe blokkeer die spoedwalle die reënwater wat nie tot by die dreineringsopeninge kan vloei nie, en ook hoe sleg is die padoppervlakte. Die toilet by die taxi-staanplek in Faganstraat waai ook gereeld om en dan bly dit ’n paar dae so lê met die vuil wat uitvloei op die sypaadjie. – Jan, Strand ) The conditions are disgusting, but what are the residents doing? I’m sure there are many unemployed persons who could form work parties and clean the trench that is full of the residents’ rubbish. Who broke the toilet doors off? Why hasn’t the service provider sorted out the problem of the smell and doors? Instead of community leaders complaining about things, why haven’t they rallied the community to take pride in their homes and surrounding area? Are the refuse bags in bins or are they easily available for every hungry dog in the area? It is all very easy to point a finger at the City of Cape Town for everything, but what are the residents doing? There seems to be fallow ground; why are there no gardens and vegetables being grown? A lot of the household rubbish makes very good compost. It is so easy to complain and lay blame. I am not rich, I live on R10 a day. – AH, Somerset West ) Die swak higiëniese toestande wat heers by Riemvasmaak en ander munisipaliteite is toe te skryf aan die volgende faktore: wanbestuur by munisipaliteite; die volharding met onbekwame personeel by munisipaliteite deur sowel die

ANC-regering en DA; oorbevolking word nie aangespreek deur albei partye nie; toestroming van onwettige immigrante wat lei tot oorbevolkte plakkerskampe en swak higiëniese toestande. Pres. Zuma kan gereeld beloftes maak van ’n huis vir elkeen, ’n lekker bottel brandewyn en gebraaide hoender van Kentucky, maar as bogenoemde faktore geïgnoreer word, eskaleer SA se probleme teen ’n vinnige pas. – Rynhardt ) Die mense van Riemvasmaak kla oor onaangename reuke? Wat het julle verwag? Die deure van toilette word afgebreek en vir huise gebruik! Natuurlik gaan daai toilette brommers en vlieë lok vir die vale. Dan is daar nog die rommel wat gestrooi word.

These people act as if they are a good company. There are too many things that need to be corrected. ) I would like to comment on what Charly Noltesaidaboutthehappinessofthecommunity: we are not happy and even the employees of In2Foods are not happy. They are supporting us. ) If In2Food want to employ somebody, it’s their right to do so, immaterial where these employees come from. They pay the salaries, they have to meet their payroll every month, so they can choose who they want to employ. The local community has no right to demand anything from In2Food. ) In2Food will be making a big mistake to employ people who vandalise their property. GROENTETUINE ) Groentetuine gaan die oplossing wees vir

baie mense met stygende voedselpryse wat bly toeneem. Selfs met al die moleste en stakings kan SA ’n groot voedselskaarste ook ervaar, so ’n groentetuin is ideaal. – Gerrit Nel, Strand RESEPTE ) Ek wil net graag weet hoekom is daar nie meer van die lekker resepte in die Gazette nie? Weens beperkte ruimte kan ons ongelukkig nie in elke week se uitgawe ’n resep plaas nie, maar kyk gerus hierdie week op bl. 10 vir ’n lekker Valentynsdag-resep. – Red.

Why not do something yourself? Your article, “Uphill battle for Riemvasmaak”, in last week’s Gazette refers. If the City of Cape Town is right in its answer, then Riemvasmaak has a problem in itself by littering, vandalising and not taking care of the facilities at their disposal. If Riemvasmaak has elected a span of responsible community leaders, they should keep order within their own community and not allow those degrading things to happen (they are mostly the result of criminal behaviour by irresponsible individuals). The City can fine those who litter, those who vandalise, those who don’t respect the facilities provided, which are real crimes, but when will these communities start taking care of their own problems, clean their communities from criminals and start to improve their behaviour? Why are those townships always filthy places? If one wants to be respected, one must start to respect oneself and one’s environment. If I need some facility, I must pay for it myself. Here the City is providing the facilities for the community, but the community doesn’t respect them and expect the City to maintain them when the community degrades them.

Western Cape Health Department extends services through Clicks

Somerset West residents will now be able to receive immunisation and family planning services from their local Clicks clinic, after a recent agreement between the Western Cape Department of Health and the Clicks Group.

“The aim of the agreement is to make vaccines and family planning more accessible to more public health care patients,” says Prof Craig Househam, head of the Western Cape Department of Health. Western Cape Minister of Health, Theuns Botha, said, “The benefit of this partnership is that the arrangement will enable our primary health care facilities to channel pa-

tients toward Clicks clinics and shorten the queues at primary health care facilities.” Patients can dial 0860 254 257 and make an appointment for a consultation with a nurse at a Clicks clinic for vaccines or contraceptives. The stock will be provided by the provincial government to the Clicks clinics. For this service, patients will be required to pay a convenience fee of R75 for vaccines and R50 for the first-time family planning consultation. A follow-up family planning consultation will be R35. On Thursday afternoons from 13:30 until 17:00, these services will be free for all patients whose children were born in a state hospital and without access to medical aid.

It is recommended that patients make appointments in advance for Thursday afternoons to avoid disappointment. “Vaccination medication for babies in their first 18 months can cost more than R3 500. I believe that the agreement offers a tangible benefit for our patients, and is unique to this province,” says Botha. Since the pilot project began in November last year, more than 500 baby immunisations and consultations have been rendered, and more than 180 of these services were rendered through the Clicks Helping Hand Trust, with the convenience fee paid by the trust.

2012- ALGEMENE WAARDASIELYS VIR DIE STAD KAAPSTAD Ingevolge die bepalings van artikel 49(1)(a)(i) van die Plaaslike Regering: Wet op Munisipale Eiendomsbelasting, Wet 6 van 2004, hierna die Wet genoem, word hiermee kennis gegee dat die 2012- algemene waardasielys vir die tydperk 1 Julie 2013 – totdat die volgende algemene waardasierol geskep word - ter insae lê van 21 Februarie 2013 tot 30 April 2013 by die lokale wat hieronder aangedui word. Die vorms vir die indiening van besware is by hierdie lokale verkrygbaar. Die waardasielys is ook vanaf 21 Februarie 2013 op die Stad Kaapstad se webwerf beskikbaar (adres hieronder). Ingevolge artikel 49(1)(a)(ii) van die Wet kan enige eiendomsbesitter of ander persoon wat wil, binne die genoemde tydperk ’n beswaar by die munisipale bestuurder indien oor enige saak wat op die algemene waardasielys verskyn of weggelaat is. Eienaars sal skriftelik van hulle waardasies in kennis gestel word by die posadres wat op die Stad se databasis.

Control your pregnancy cravings Almost all pregnant women experience food cravings during pregnancy, particularly for unusual snacks such as peanut butter and pickles. Mediclinic Vergelegen is making it possible for you to educate yourself about pregnancy and healthy nutrition, and to understand your food cravings. Mediclinic Vergelegen is presenting an education week in February, with a range of free, informative sessions to enlighten and inspire moms- and dads-to-be. The programme takes place on Saturday 23 February from 09:00 to 12:00. No-one knows why these cravings happen, but generally these aren’t harmful if not practised to excess. There is some evidence to suggest that you may crave nutrients that your body needs, and hormones play a powerful role. Hormonal shifts during pregnancy intensify the sense of smell (which influences taste) and are powerful enough to affect your food choices. Whenever possible, a pregnant woman should seek advice from her doctor or dietician if she is practising an unbalanced eating habit. You need to gain a certain amount of weight during pregnancy to ensure that your baby develops properly. If you start your pregnancy with a normal body weight, then it’s important to allow your body and the developing foetus and placenta to increase in weight by 11,5 kg to 16 kg. Pregnancy is not the time to be figure-conscious. Once the baby is born, you’ll lose weight during the birth and shed the last few kilos if you follow a sensible diet, breastfeed your baby and go for walks every day. To join Mediclinic Baby, a free programme, visit www.mediclinic.co.za/mediclinicbaby or call 021 943 6039.

Aandag word spesifiek gevestig op die feit dat ’n beswaar ingevolge artikel 50(2) van die Wet met ’n spesifieke, individuele eiendom verband moet hou en nie teen die waardasielys ingedien kan word nie. Die vorms vir die indiening van besware is by enige van die lokale hieronder verkrygbaar, en kan ook op die webwerf gevind word.

Start afresh with your debt If you have emerged from the festive season depressed by your debt situation, make it your New Year’s resolution to take control of your finances again, says Mmadikwa Phoshoko, debt counsellor at Legal & Tax.

DRUGS CONFISCATED: A stroke of luck helped Strand police arrest a man for possession of drugs last Wednesday. The man, a foreigner, was carrying around 600 g of tik with an estimated street value of R165 000. He was also found with an undisclosed amount of cash. The arrest was made by Sergeant Oswald Adams while on patrol. He stopped the driver of a vehicle that drove through a red light, which led to the arrest. Here are (front, from left) Sergeant Adams, Sergeant Nabeal Basadien and (back) Colonel Eugene Zama with the confiscated items.

Phoshoko says that overindebted consumers have a range of options for finding their way out of a tight financial corner without having goods repossessed or getting blacklisted by a credit bureau. As a start, you can ask your creditors – the people who lent you money – to change your repayment terms to ones that you are better able to match each month. If that option will not work, you could look at entering the debt counselling process, says Phoshoko. This is a legal process in which you apply to have your debt restructured so that you can pay household expenses and still be able to pay off debt at a reduced instalment at the end of the month. “Don’t think of debt counselling as an easy way out, though – it is a process that demands commitment and sacrifice from you,” says Phoshoko. “But it can be the fresh start you need if you have become overburdened by debt.” You can enter the debt counselling process by ap-

proaching a counsellor who is registered with the National Credit Regulator (NCR). If you are unsure who to use, contact the NCR to check for a debt counsellor in your area. The debt counsellor will take care of your debt restructuring process for you, which will culminate with seeking a consent order for new payment agreements in court. The consent order insures that your creditors stick to the new repayment arrangement and may not take legal action against you, says Phoshoko. There is no guarantee MONEYWISE: Getting debt counselling that your creditors will can be the fresh financial start you were agree to the proposals looking for.

Residents gather 250 kg of rubbish

How does one bring a stray golf ball in line? NICOLE MCCAIN

Strand residents rolled up their sleeves on Saturday 2 February to ensure their beach becomes cleaner and safer. Almost 35 volunteers collected litter along the beach during the clean-up. Organiser Chris Robertson says the volunteers collected around 250 kg of trash. The beach clean-up is set to become a monthly exercise, with the next one taking place on 2 March. The venue for meeting up will be the HH Beach Sailing Club at the Strand Kiteboarders Club next to the lifesavers’ clubhouse, opposite the big orange building on the beachfront. The clean-up starts at 10:00, and bags, gloves and sunscreen will be provided. For more information on the volunteer project to keep beaches clean in the Strand, please contact Chris Robertson on 072 275 9304.

Helderberg Gazette

Tracey Clulow brought her sons, from left, Zac (5) and Luke (6), to help clean up the beach.

Residents of Lower Gordon’s Bay Road in Strand would be impressed with the distance some golfers at Greenways Golf Estate are able to hit – if only it weren’t in the wrong direction. One resident has had five golf balls land in his garden in the last three months, one of which damaged one of his windows. He says the impressive shots see the golf balls come flying from the grounds of the golf estate, over the estate’s wall and Gordon’s Bay Drive, and into his garden. But despite the possible concern over their property, the resident is more concerned about the traffic and pedestrians on Gordon’s Bay Drive, as well as his children who play in his front garden. “What if a ball comes and hits them on the head, or if it crashes into the windscreen of a car driving past?” Greenways Golf Estate manager, Wilhelm Neethling, says this is the first complaint Greenways has received, and the course was changed in 1993 to reduce the number in balls flying over the fence. Neethling assures Strand residents that golfers are not taking shots at their homes. “Golfers, including professionals, endeavour to remain within the boundaries of the course – this is, after all, the essence of the game. Should a ball stray over the fence, we can assure you it was unintentional.” Neethling says the estate unfortunately

can’t guarantee the skill of their players. “No golf club can be held responsible for the quality of players making use of the facility and measures to stop golf balls flying into neighbours’ gardens proved futile.” However, says Neethling, they have done their best to get golfers aiming in the right direction. “Greenways’ in-house rules provide for ‘any player that damages a car or any other property by hitting a golf ball over the boundary wall is entirely responsible for the damage caused’.” Neethling advised any complainants to lodge their complaints with Greenways management as soon as possible after an incident. “Time is of the essence, especially while the player is still on the course, to enable Greenways management to establish who the responsible player is.”

BEPLANDE ONDERBREKING VAN ELEKTRISITEITSTOEVOER Gordonsbaai

Chris Robertson, pictured here, says almost 250 kg of trash was collected on the day.PHOTOS: NICOLE MCCAIN

Die elektrisiteitstoevoer na Gordonsbaai sal op Sondag 24 Februarie 2013 onderbreek word sodat die Stad Kaapstad noodsaaklike werk aan sy hoëspanningsnetwerk kan doen om die gehalte van die toevoer na die gebied in die toekoms te verseker. Inwoners in die Stad se elektrisiteitsvoorsieningsgebied sal hierdeur geraak word. Die toevoer sal tussen 06:00 en 18:00 onderbreek word. Die toevoer kan te eniger tyd herstel word en inwoners word gewaarsku om alle elektriese installasies vir die volle duur van die onderbreking as lewendig te beskou. Vir meer besonderhede, besigtig die kaart van die gebiede wat geraak word op die Stad se webwerf www.capetown.gov.za. In die geval van slegte weer op 24 Februarie 2013 sal die werk na Sondag 3 Maart 2013 vanaf 06:00 tot 18:00 uitgestel word. Inwoners kan die elektrisiteitsdepartement se tegniese bedryfsentrum by die 24 uur-nommer 0860 103 089 skakel vir nog inligting of met navrae oor die beplande onderbreking in elektrisiteitstoevoer.

Kefuoe Lento, Klaus Piprek, Dale Dolphire, Khalid Kader and Ben Clulow were some of the locals who took part in the cleanup.

Die Stad vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief en bedank inwoners vir hul samewerking en begrip.

Sevens rugby and fun Strand residents kicked off the sevens rugby season on Saturday 2 February at a competition hosted by Strand Pioneers and Cinnamon Square Spar. The day offered fun for the whole family, with facepainting and a jumping castle keeping the children entertained. Strand United took home the prize, after beating Belhar in the final. The Gazette captured a few moments on camera.

Strand United, who won the competition, took on Macassar in one of the early rounds.
