Biblioteek week prettig vir jong lesers Nasionale Biblioteekweek met die tema, “Vier biblioteke met 20 jaar van demokrasie”, is hierdie jaar vanaf 15 – 22 Maart gevier. Die Sir Lowry’s Pass biblioteek het dié week prettig vir die plaaslike kinders gemaak en ’n liefde vir lees by hulle gekweek. Nicholas Stallenberg, biblioteekassistent, het stories aan die graad R’s van Sir Lowry’s Pass Primêr voorgelees en hulle is met ’n lekkergoed-pakkie bederf. Heidi Naudé van die Halli Trust en ’n gemeenskapslid Chris Valentine, het ook aan die program deelgeneem en die graad 7’s lewensvaardighede geleer. Die kleuters van Mila’s Angels het ook hulle besoek aan die biblioteek geniet. Hier spog die graad R’s met hul drasakke wat die biblioteek aan hulle verskaf het.

Free three-day health days for all
The new prefects of Silukhanyo Primary School in Asanda Village and their co-ordinator and deputy principal Thobile Majingo.
Prefects instill new values Silukhanyo Primary School in Asanda Village, Lwandle has added another dimension to their education. The school recently, for the first time since its establishment in 2001, rolled out a prefect and class monitor-system. Deputy principal Thobile Majingo is proud of the initiative, which forms part of a course he is doing in education management and leader-
ship development at the University of Cape Town. He says the system was put in place to address general discipline at the school. Majingo emphasises that late coming is a major concern and was one of the main reasons for the introduction of the prefect system. He is optimistic about the system’s effect as less latecomers have been reported since the 16 prefects started their duties at the end of February. Majingo says in the three weeks
the problem has decreased from 165 learners coming to school after 07:50, when classes start,to 48 learners. He says the project comes with challenges like prefects being bullied by other learners, but that these obstacles will be addressed. A meeting will also be held with the prefects’ parents to ensure that the children stay motivated and focused. “We want the learners to be responsible and are preparing them to become better citizens and leaders.”
The Gordon’s Bay Rotary Club is hosting a three-day family health campaign in Gordon’s Bay, Sir Lowry’s Pass and Lwandle.

Temperance Town hou pretdag teen misdaad Die Temperance Town-gemeenskapsorganisasie se Metro-polisie het onlangs ’n baie suksesvolle pretdag gehou. Volgens Ruben Joseph, ’n Metropolisie-veiligheidsbeampte, het sowat 150 mense die geleentheid bygewoon. Waterglybane en springkastele, geborg deur die Stad Kaapstad se sport en rekreasie afdeling, het hope pret vir kinders besorg. Netbalspanne het ook kragte gemeet. Die hoogtepunt van die dag was egter ’n motiveringspraatjie deur die sokkerspeler Lukhanyo Majoka, ’n gerehabiliteerde hawelose wat weer in die gemeenskap opgeneem is. Joseph sê die geleentheid was hoofsaaklik op die jeug, die samesyn van die gemeenskap, sowel as die opheffing van die gemeenskap gemik, en dat geleenthede soos hierdie ten doel het om die algemene veiligheid in die gebied te bevorder.
Netbalwedstryde was deel van die Temperance Town-pretdag.
Van links is die organiseerders van die pretdag Ruben Joseph (Metropolisie-veiligheidsbeampte) en lede van die Temperance Town-gemeenskapsorganisasie Lydia Damon, Heather Mercuur (voorsitter, Temperance Town-gemeenskapsorganisasie), Carmen Philander, Hester Willemse, Joan Jacobs (Wyk 100 Forum) en ao. Nico Beukes (sosiale misdaad-koördineerder, Gordonsbaai-polisie).
Kinders het hulle gate uit geniet op die waterglybaan en springkastele.

Dring op beter diens aan Boikot taxi’s wat swak diens lewer Boikot taxi’s wat swak diens lewer. In reaksie op Desperaat van Macassar se skrywe op 25 Maart. Ek is bly om te sien mense raak keelvol vir swak diens van taxi’s. Die uitdaging is om iets te doen. Ek is lankal van mening dat taxi-gebruikers moet begin om die wat swak diens lewer, lewens in gevaar stel en dink hulle doen passasiers ’n guns, te boikot. Die taxi-bedryf is ’n diensleweringsindustrie. Maar mense laat toe dat bestuurders en eienaars net doen wat hulle wil. Ek sal graag wil sien dat mense op beter diens begin aandring en nie net kla nie. Sterkte, RB “Die see word al hoe meer van sy skatte beroof” Daar word op 5 660 kreefsterte beslag gelê. Dit wys, nes perlemoen uitgeroei word, is dit weer kreef se beurt! Die see word al hoe meer van sy skatte beroof! Smit, Strand Geen toekoms vir die jeug Ek en talle mense weier om Menseregtedag
te vier, want vir 20 jaar mag Afrikaanssprekendes weens regstellende aksie geen toekoms hê nie, maar pres. Zuma kan miljoene van belastingbetalers se geld gebruik om Nkandla te bou! Wat sake verder vererger is dat die wet op gelyke indiensneming sy opwagting nou maak! Helen Zille wil nou skielik vir minderhede opstaan en die wet beveg, maar sy en die liberale DA ondersteun regstellende aksie! Op en af speel sy die publiek! SA word vreemd, al vreemder by die dag terwyl mense en die jeug geen toekoms mag hê, met uiters omstrede wetgewing nie! Rynhardt, Somerset-Wes Diensleweringsproteste Lwandle word ’n regte kruitvat wat gaan ontplof! Dan word die N2 opsetlik versper met brandende bande wat mense weerhou om hulle werkplek te bereik. Die DA kyk die heeltyd anderpad terwyl die ANC niks doen aan betogings en moleste nie! Dinge bly abnormaal funksioneer terwyl politici net in hul joppies en reusagtige salarisse belangstel. P.Steyn, Strand
Tyd dat bruin mense begin saamstaan Lourensia Park is die enigste lae-koste behuisingsprojek uit duisende ander wat nie mag huiswinkels hê nie. Graag wil ek diegene wat kla oor die winkels vra of daar fout met julle is, is julle siek of net jaloers? Hoeveel meter is die naaste winkel, wat is die tye wat daardie winkels toe maak, wat van die pryse, bv. winkelpryse in Paardevlei en Victoria Park? Dit is tyd dat ons bruin mense mekaar respekteer en begin saamstaan. Ons kan nie toelaat dat die minderheid elke keer vir ons sê wat om te doen, hoe om dit te doen en wanneer dit gedoen kan word nie. Ons mense kla oor die winkels wat
eintlik ’n diens aan so baie van ons lewer. Maar tog is daar die wat agteraf by die polisie gaan kla. Ek wil graag weet hoekom die land se reëls net in Lourensia Park toegepas moet word, is dit omdat ons in Somerset-Wes bly, of omdat daar nie arm mense in Somerset-Wes bly nie, want in ander omliggende gebiede doen die mense net wat hulle wil - elektrisiteit en water word gesteel, bou sonder bouplanne, bou tot op die boulyn en inspekteurs doen niks nie, of is te bang om na sekere gebiede te gaan. Om te dink in die jare van vryheid en demokrasie, is miljoene huise gebou, maar uit daardie miljoene het Somerset-Wes se armes net 77 huise gekry, wat die vorige regering gebou het. In 2010 kry Somerset-Wes weer 217 huise. Die snaakste van als is dat baie van Somerset-Wes se mense voorheen as gevolg van die Groepsgebiedewet die dorp moes verlaat.
GRANVILLE LATIEF,
Service delivery protests in Lwandle last week resulted in the N2 being closed for hours.
Chamber calls for accountability DELIAH BRINKHUIS Motorists were irate last Monday after the N2 was temporarily closed as a result of service delivery protests. The road was closed shortly after 06:30 when picketing started at the Hlati Drive and Onverwacht Road intersections, and traffic had to be diverted. The protest sparked a heated discussion on Facebook with a few users saying it reminded them of the 1980s. One user said the Western Cape would be made “ungovernable” closer to the elections with daily violence on the main routes of the Cape Peninsula. The Cape Chamber of Commerce said in a media release that protesters should be held accountable for the damages and the disruption in economic activity. Constable Mthokozisi Gama, spokesperson for the Lwandle Police says nine people were taken in for questioning, including six women who were later released as they could not be linked to the protest. Andiswa Sitesu (21), Zukile Ntulwana (19) and Paseka Mthetho (35) appeared in the Strand Magistrate’s Court on charges of public violence. Sitesu was released on a warning to appear in court again on 24 April. Ntulwana and Mthetho remained in custody until their bail application today (Tuesday).

An afternoon tea was held in Macassar as a fundraiser for Turn Around, a local non-profit organisation.
Tai-chi meester Niklaas Thysen met leerders van Rusthof Primêre Skool.
Tai Chi-program help leerders Die Somerset-Wes Asiatiese Chinese Krygskunssentrum het ’n Tai Chi vir kinders-sessie vir leerders by Rusthof Primêre Skool in die Strand aangebied. Die geleentheid is op 18 Maart gehou in samewerking met die departement van gemeenskapsveiligheid se maatskaplike misdaaddirektoraat en Strand-polisie se maatskaplike misdaadvoorkomingseenheid. Tai-chi meester, Niklaas Thysen, glo dat Thai Chi gesondheid, fisieke en welsynsvoordele inhou en moet dus by skole aangebied word. “Dit sal kinders in staat stel
om ’n beter kwaliteit van lewe te hê en te verhoed dat die meeste van hulle (deur boelies) by die skool geteiken word. Hulle sal ook in staat wees om ander leerders beter te kan hanteer in enige situasie. “ Konstabel Mbulelo Mafuna, wat die Strand-polisie verteenwoordig, het ook met die 1 200 leerders en 10 onderwysers wat dit bygewoon het, gesels. Thysen het bygevoeg dat hierdie programme en aktiwiteite voortgesit sal word in die handhawing van hul vennootskap met die skool om die veiligheid van die leerders gedurende skoolure te verseker.

Funds raised for local homeless people’s charity Turn Around, a local non-profit organisation working with homeless people, recently held an afternoon tea in Macassar. The fundraiser was organised by Macassar resident, Gwen Phillips and guest speakers included representatives of the Department of Social Development and
