Amy (10) is already well on her way to make this dream come true, after she was crowned Ms Junior South Africa in the Western Cape regional competition. The glamorous event took place on 11 October at the Dutch Reformed Church Hall in Belville. Amy has now qualified to take part in the national Ms Junior competition in Pretoria from 28 April to 3 May 2015. “I am very happy and excited about the event,” says Amy. The little diva first become involved in beauty pageants when she entered Ms Butterfly in the Helderberg last year. She won this competition and Bernadette Rossi, organiser of the event, recognised her talent immediately.

Amy says she loves competing in beauty pageants,

She says Amy did very well when she had to give a 30 second introduction to the audience. “The pageants have taught Amy how to be confident.” Amy says besides her dream to become Ms South Africa, she would also like to open up her own modelling agency when she grows up, so that she can teach girls to feel good about themselves.

Regering sê gratis behuising is nie meer bekostigbaar nie Die minister van menslike nedersettings in die Wes-Kaap, Bonginkosi Madikizela het verlede week gesê die regering kan nie meer gratis behuising bekostig nie. Hy noem ook dat gratis behuising nie heeltemal gesny gaan
Getruida Hobosch: As jy 20-jaar-oud is met drie of vier kinders is jy klaar groot en het jy jou eie huis nodig. Hulle moet woonstelle bou sodat daar meer slaapkamers kan wees. Hulle kan nie nee se vir die mense nie. Dis onsin wat hy praat en ek stem nie saam nie.
word nie maar dat daar gekyk moet word na ouderdomsgroepe van diegene wat huise ontvang, asook hoe lank mense op die waglys was. Die Helderberg Gazette het gaan uitvind hoe die publiek hieroor voel.
Luke Hobosch: Ek dink as mense belasting betaal moet hulle huise kry. Dit maak nie saak hoe oud jy is nie.
Bazuka Soji: In my opinie, dink ek dis minderbevoorregte mense word net meer afgedruk. Mense het geen inkomste nie so ek dink dit is die regering se verantwoordelikheid om huise te verskaf aan die wat dit nodig het. FOTO’S: TAMSYN JANTJIES
Sipho Ntantiso: Ek voel hulle moet hierdie hele behuising ding herevalueer. Behuising was aan die begin bedoel vir mense wat tydens die apartheidsera swaar gekry het, maar ek dink nie daar was bespreek waar om die lyn te trek nie. Mense verkoop hulle huise en dan speel hulle arm, dis nie reg nie.
Thando Mafuna: Ek stem glad nie saam nie. Ek dink ons kan meer leiers van ons jeug verwag, wat beteken meer verantwoordelike jong mense. Ons moet mekaar ondersteun en motiveer as jeugdiges. Die feit dat soveel mense nog sonder huise is, het direk te doen met die moord en diefstal statistiek.
Bongeka Nogoduka: Ek stem nie saam met wat hy sê nie. Waar gaan ek met my kinders heen?

How to keep those pesky pests at bay It’s summer again and that means braais and lazy days. But it is also time when all those unwanted pests like flies and mosquitoes make their appearance. Here are a few tips that could help keep these flying fiends at a bay. ) Citronella – This works on both flies and mosquitoes. You can either burn a citronella candle or you can dab some of the oil on your exposed skin. ) Cloves – Flies do not like the smell of cloves. You can keep 10 – 15 cloves in a saucer near to where you are serving food. Alternatively, use clove oil to keep them at bay. ) Herbs – Flies instinctively stay away from certain herbs in Make your own fly your garden. These include elder, basil and mint. It is also a good idea to plant theses in little pots and place them around the house. ) Lavender oil – this is also has a dual use for both flies and mosquitoes. Dab some on your skin or on your bedding and
tablecloths. ) Vodka – Yes that’s right. For some unknown reason flies do not like the smell of vodka. You can make Vodka bags and hang them around your entertainment area or alternatively rub some on your exposed skin, if you are comfortable doing that. ) Vinegar: Though this doesn’t smell very nice, it works. Pour a little into a saucer and place it next to your bed and it will ward off all those greedy mosquitoes. How to make your own fly trap: You will need a wide-mouthed glass jar, paper cone and sugar water. Pour the sugar trap for your home. water into the jar. Cut 1 cm off the top of the paper cone and place it in the glass jar but don’t let it touch the water. The flies will be attracted to the sweet scent and fly into the hole but they will not be able to fly out again.

Washing hands can prevent diarrhoea
Washing your hands regularly can reduce the chances of contracting diarrhoeal disease as 80% of germs are spread from our hands. Western Cape health care data indicates that there has been a rise in diarrhoea cases, particularly in children under five years. The Western Cape Health Department has appealed to parents and caregivers to take special care of their children, who are prone to this diseaseduringthecurrentdiarrhoeadiseaseseason (DD season). The DD season is between November and May, when there is an increase in acute diarrhoea cases due to the warm summer months. Diarrhoeal disease is defined as loose or watery stools at least three times a day or more frequently than normal. Although most episodes of childhood diarrhoea are mild, acute cases can lead to significant fluid loss and dehydration. This may result in death or it may have other severe consequences if the body’s fluids are not replaced. Since the introduction of the hand washing campaign in the Western Cape, the department has recorded a remarkable decrease in diarrhoeal disease-related hospital deaths in children under five years. Hand washing as a regular hygiene routine can play a significant role in the prevention of disease. Since 80% of germs are spread from our hands, it is vital to wash your hands between activities where you may deal with germs.

Gazette-lesers is van mening Moontlike belasting-verhoging Die hoër belastings wat die minister van finansies aangekondig het, gaan net daaroor dat die vet katte in die ANC nog lekkerder kan leef, terwyl Jan Publiek besig is om te disintegreer! Dan praat ons nog nie eens van die hoë voedsel-en kragpryse nie! In 2015 wag reeds ’n helse kragverhoging van 13%! Pensionarisse kan dit ook nie bekostig nie!

Load shedding to hit Cape Town this week
volgens die Vryheidsmanifes van die ANC regeer word, want Nonhla Nene se begroting wys dit! Ekonomiese groei was eers geskat op 2,7% groei en die nuutste teiken is 1,4%! Die regering het die ekonomie doodgemaak! Alles daal nes die leierskap! Om die publiek te straf met hoër belastings gaan die probleme net vererger! SAL wat al twee keer bankrot gespeel het, het R50 miljard nodig en Eskom het R225 miljard nodig om te oorleef! Selfs die openbare beskermer het R64 miljoen nodig om te oorleef! SA het by ’n kruispad gekom met Zuma en sy trawante! Tans bestaan geen ekonomiese raamwerk vir die land nie. Rynhardt, Somerset-Wes
Eskom has published a notice on its website, stating that load shedding is planned nationally this week. Eskom spokesperson Andrew Etzinger said in a TV news interview on Sunday, that the country will see a “serious situation for the next few days”. The cause is apparently a cracked silo which collapsed and affects coal supplies to all six units of the Majuba power station, one of Eskom’s largest coalfired stations. Planned downtime for individual municipalities can be found at www.eskom.co.za by clicking on the load-shedding link at the top of the website. Stage 1 load shedding allows for up to 1 000 MW of the national load to be shed. Stage 2 allows for up to 2 000 MW of the national load to be shed. Stage 3 allows for up to 4 000 MW of the national load to be shed. Load shedding will be implemented in most instances in two-

hour blocks (with an additional 30 minutes for switching between blocks). Those affected may therefore be without electricity for 2,5 hours at a time. ) The Eskom alert, released over the weekend, reads: “The power system is projected to be severely constrained this week due to the loss of 1 800 MW at the Majuba power station, a situation caused by damage to the central coal storage silo. A silo, which houses over 10 000 tons of coal, cracked on Saturday and collapsed on Sunday, impacting coal supplies to all six units at the power station and resulting in the power station operating at reduced capacity of 1 300 MW. No injuries were reported. Teams are on site and are in the process of dispatching mobile coal feeders to site. In the unlikely event that this contingency is unsuccessful, it may impact the full supply from the power station.”
