Khoisan royals officially wed in Somerset West Gordon’s Bay has been home to South Africa’s King of the Khoisan for the past nine years. His Royal Highness King Khoebaha Cornelius III, otherwise known as Calvin Cornelius, and his wife of 17 years by Khoi law, got married in the 1819 New Apostolic church in Somerset West on 16 December last year. Even though they have been married in accordance with traditional laws for so long , they decided to marry in a modern day church to have their marriage recognised by South African laws. Sitting at the Helderberg Gazette offices, Queen Jenny Cornelius tells of how she fell in love with her husband six years prior to being formally introduced. It was while he was singing On the wings of love, her favourite song, in a karaoke competition in the early ’90s. She immediately wanted to be introduced to him but nobody seemed to want to do so. Six years later she was invited to attend a friend’s aunt’s wake where she was introduced to him and only realised much later during their first date who he was and confessed to falling in love with him the night of that competition. One can tell by the look on his face that he loves to hear this story just as much as she likes to tell it. Both of them were married and separated before they started to date and have five children between the two of them, Cindy Hamilton (34), Ryan Hamilton (31), Tayrene Booysen (24), Shudon Abrahams (24) and Calvin Junior Cornelius (19). They are a close-knit family. The king is very passionate about his monarchy and does all he can to protect his people and their lineage, though its mostly been an uphill battle. The queen firmly stands behind him and is every bit the supportive wife.
King Khoebaha Cornelius III and his wife, Queen Jenny Cornelius are very much in love.

Kommer oor vullishoop wat nare reuk versprei TAMSYN JANTJIES Jasminestraat-inwoners is keelvol oor die aaneenlopende onwettige storting op ’n vakante stuk grond in Sercor Park, Strand. Volgens hulle word hierdie grond, wat aan die Stad Kaapstad behoort, al vir meer as vyf jaar as ’n stortingsterrein gebruik. En ’n onlangse brand, op Donderdag 8 Januarie, het die inwoners se woede verder gestook. Die oorsaak van die brand is onbekend. Vullis wat op die grond gestort word, hoop by die dag op en ’n “walglike” reuk versprei daarvandaan, verduidelik inwoner Ingrid Lodewyk. Lodewyk beweer ook dat die gemeenskap se pleidooie op dowe ore val. ‘‘Ons skakel gereeld die munisipaliteit en die Metro-polisie, maar die gemors word eers skoongemaak nadat die polisie die saak by die munisipaliteit aanmeld,’’ sê Lodewyk. Lodewyk sê die situasie is “onaanvaarbaar” en is bekommerd oor die gesondheid van kinders wat gereeld in die vullishoop se omgewing speel. ’n Verskeidenheid rommel soos huishoudelike afval, diere-oorskot, bourommel en ou klere word hier gestort. Die gemeenskap meen die stuk grond kan beter benut word. “Hoekom kan daar nie ’n speelpark op die perseel opgerig word nie,” vra Lodewyk. Agmat Daggia, gemeenskapsleier in die area sê, ‘ek is baie ontsteld oor die gemors. Hoekom kan daardie stuk nie afgebaken word nie? Die reuk is so erg dat mense daar naby nie hul deure en vensters kan oopmaak nie, want dit

Johan Middleton rapporteer, wat op sy beurt navraag by die Stad Kaapstad se parke afdeling gedoen het. “Hulle sê dat daar nie ’n speelpark opgerig kan word nie, want daar is reeds een in die omgewing,” verduidelik Middleton. “Ek het gedurende die vakansie deur die hele wyk gery en het opgelet dat die rommelprobleem gedurende hierdie tyd oral toeneem; mense gooi hul rommel oral.’’ Hy sê ook dat die Stad nie aanbeveel dat dromme daar neergesit word nie.

Die inwoners in Jasminestraat, Sercor Park weet nie hoe die brand op die vullishoop ontstaan het nie.

Is jy gereed vir nog beurtkrag?
City wants to legislate alternative smoking devices
Die Helderberg Gazette het gaan uitvind hoe voorbereid mense is vir die moontlike beurtkrag-situasie wat vir die volgende drie jaar kan aanhou. Ook, hoe hulle hulself besig hou wanneer die krag af is.
The City of Cape Town will escalate its efforts this year for legislative clarity on the wide array of alternative smoking devices and habits that have become commonplace in South Africa. Earlier this year, City Health solicited legal opinion from the National Department of Health about the use of e-cigarettes. This continues to be a grey area, not only in South Africa but around the globe, and is currently not provided for in the Tobacco Control Amendment Act. Ongoing research into hookah pipes or “hubbly bubblies” as the devices are commonly known, indicates that they are decidedly more dangerous than societal attitudes suggest. The most recent study in the United States of America found that 39% of teens and young adults who had previously smoked hookah pipes went on to smoke cigarettes. “Hookah pipes are very popular in Cape Town, not just among adults, but also children, because there is a perception that the flavoured tobacco is somehow not harmful,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member
Trevor van Rooyen: Ons as jongmense sosialiseer maar met mekaar of spandeer ons tyd op sosiale media, solank ons foon se batterye vol genoeg gelaai is.
Felicity Speelman: Wanneer die krag af is spandeer ons familie lekker tyd saam met mekaar. As dit af is gedurende kosmaak-tyd, dan sal ek altyd vra dat my man moet braai. Dis lekker, want so hoef ek nie voor die kospotte te staan nie.
Elrina Isaacs: Voor die krag af gaan maak ek ons gaspot vol. En gewoonlik slaap ek maar wanneer dit af is want dan gaan die tyd gouer. Maar wanneer die krag naby slapenstyd af gaan maak ek kos of die gesin speel speletjies.
Siha Arnold: Ek is glad nie voorbereid nie. Daar is regtig nie veel wat mens kan doen terwyl die krag af is nie. Ek hou my maar besig met my sellulêre foon maar die goed se batterye hou ook nie so lank nie.
Marlene Wildschut: Ek moet nog ’n plan maak en voorberei en sommer baie kerse ook kry. Ek doen maar huistakies en maak vuur om kos te maak wanneer beurtkrag gebeur.
Somaya Arnold: Terwyl die krag af is, speel ons maar kaarte en dominos of sit en gesels. Ongelukkig het ons nie ’n gasstoof nie, so ons is nie voorbereid nie.
Nolitha Boya: Luckily I already have a gas stove at home. During blackouts I like to spend time with my family and we listen to my old battery operated FM radio.
Nosipho Mgwagweni: I live on my own so there really is not much for me to do. So I just listen to my battery operated FM radio FOTO’S: TAMSYN JANTJIES

for Health, Councillor Benedicta van Minnen. “Tobacco is tobacco, no matter what the flavour. We need to be more mindful as a society about the burden we’re placing on the healthcare system. In the Cape especially, we have very high levels of TB and other respiratory diseases and so we need to make every effort to combat those, including prevention through responsible personal choices.” City Health has met with researchers from both the University of Cape Town and the University of the Western Cape. The consensus is that while research is not definitive, smoking hookah pipe is harmful. Researchers are also in agreement that nicotine remains one of the most addictive substances, especially for young people. “I will be raising the issue with the national health minister to push for legal clarity on the use of hookah pipes and e-cigarettes. “I am not necessarily pushing for a ban on the devices, because to be fair there is no definitive proof of their impact, but we do need to close the legislative vacuum where these devices are concerned.”

Dogs need food Animal Welfare Helderberg is in dire need of dog food as their supplies are running low. The kennels are particularly full and food is used up quickly. “We normally feed our very thin dogs twice a day, but we are no longer able to do so,” says Clare Bezuidenhout, AWS Helderberg volunteer. Any food donations can be dropped off at the kennels in Mansfield Crescent, Gordon’s Bay or at the Somerset West shop at 42 Reitz Street.
Bezuidenhout requests that no “no name brands” and very cheap food be donated as it upsets the dogs’ tummies. “Our vet highly recommends Ultradog.” Monetary donations can be deposited in their account: Animal Welfare Helderberg, Std Bank, Acc no 072286547, Branch Code 033012, Ref: FOOD. For further information phone Clare on 083 697 4759 or clarebez@gmail.com.

Van die vroue wat aan die Fit and Fun oefenklub in Macassar behoort. IAN BAARD Vroue in Macassar wat gesond wil lewe het onlangs die Fit and Fun for Women-program begin. Die program is die inisiatief van Debbie Myburgh, ’n verpleegster en plaaslike inwoner. Die groep oefen van Maandae tot Donderdae vanaf 18:00 by die Macassar sportgronde en klasse word deur professionele instrukteurs aangebied. Tans bied Japie Konstable die
opelug aërobiese oefeninge aan in samewerking met instrukteurs van plaaslike gimnasiums wat ook deel is van die program. Die program is reeds aan die groei. Twee weke gelede het slegs ’n handjievol vroue die oefensessie bygewoon en verlede week was daar meer as 150 vroue wat aangesluit het om van die gewig wat hulle dalk tydens die feestyd opgetel het, af te skud. Die oudste vrou in die groep is Frances Hartzenberg (64) wat ook aan hoë bloeddruk ly. Volgens Hartzenberg is

Hartzenberg glo sy kan met dié oefening van haar bloeddrukpille ontslae raak. Sy nooi ook oumas uit om hul dogters en kleinkinders na die oefensessie te bring. Volgens Myburgh beplan hulle ook om binnekort met ’n bootcamp-oefenprogram te begin, asook ’n kompetisie vir die persoon wat die meeste gewig verloor en ’n pretloop.

Bly volhard met vanjaar se resolusies Om Nuwejaar-resolusies te maak is ’n ou tradisie wat volgens Wikipedia dateer uit die antieke Babiloniese ryk toe Babiloniërs beloftes aan hul gode gemaak het om al hulle skuld af te betaal en geleende items terug te besorg. Deesdae bestaan Nuwejaarresolusies grotendeels uit beloftes wat ons leefstyl beïnvloed. Ons sê vir onsself dat 2015 die jaar is wat ek gaan begin oefen, ophou rook, gesond eet of meer georganiseerd wees. Meeste van die tyd sal ons die jaar volstoom met ons nuwe resolusies aanpak, maar teen middel Februarie begin die ou gewoontes weer in-
kruip en voor die begin van Maart is al jou resolusies verbreek. Hier is ’n paar wenke om jou resolusies meer volhoubaar te maak: 1. Bly binne jou perke en moet nie buitensporige resolusies maak wat onhaalbaar is nie. 2. Vervang ou gewoontes met nuwe beter gewoontes. 3. Vra vir familie en vriende om jou te ondersteun en aanspreeklik te hou. 4. As jy jou resolusies verbreek, probeer weer. Elke dag is ’n nuwe geleentheid om veranderinge in jou lewe te maak. Het jy enige raad wat jy met die Helderberg Gazette se lesers wil deel? Stuur dit na daleen.fouche@helderberg.com

Stay cool and hydrated Bag of tools recovered to avoid heat stroke Hot weather can be expected for the weeks to come and the harvesting and school athletics season is in full swing. The provincial Health Department says babies, elderly people and those working or exercising in hot places are at particular risk for heat stroke or exhaustion. Tips to survive the heat: ) People using chronic medication need to drink extra water during heat waves to ensure that their kidneys function well. ) Stay out of the sun if at all possible, if not, wear a large hat to protect the head from the sun. Use an umbrella to add shade and use a small wet towel or cloth under hats or on shoulders to help keep cool. ) Stay hydrated – in the current temperatures, staying hydrated is most important – drink as much water as you need. ) Always carry water with you. ) Ensure that elderly people and the infirm
have easy access to water. ) Breastfeed on demand – breast milk is all that babies younger than six months require, you need not give the baby water or tea to ‘cool down.’ ) Breastfeeding moms must remember to drink extra water. Cold rooibos tea also makes a refreshing and healthy drink. ) Take your baby to the clinic at the first sign of diarrhoea and/or vomiting ) Keep babies in the shade or indoors. ) Wipe baby down with a clean damp cloth – this will help keep them cool. ) Do not cover babies in a lot of clothing and blankets; light clothing is sufficient. ) Keep babies and children in the shade. ) Avoid sports activities if possible, if sport is essential; ensure that there is a lot of water and rehydration solution available. ) Children must wear hats and sunblock ) Keep children indoors between 11:00 and 16:00

Help needed to find parents The Department of Social Development in Somerset West is requesting the public’s assistance in locating the families of four children. The department is looking for the biological father, Alton Ricardo Ontong of a 16year-old. The teenager’s mother, Mazaan Ontong, passed away on 27 January last year and the father is believed to have moved from Ebrahiem Bazier Street, Gustrouw, Strand to Kwa-Zulu Natal. The child is currently in the care of the maternal grandmother, Magrieta Toring from Strand. The department is also searching for Phika and Ngubana, who are allegedly the biological fathers of two children aged five and seven.
Two Gordon’s Bay police officers recovered a “mysterious” bag of tools while on patrol on Monday 19 January after 06:00. Constables Edmund Minaar and Deon Robertson they spotted two suspicious-looking individuals walking in Faure Marine Drive, in the direction of Strand. Upon closer inspection they noticed the men carrying a heavy bag over their shoulders. After questioning the man (35) and his mother (53), they could provide satisfactory answers as to how they came into the possession of the bag, which included electrical goods and building tools. They were apprehended and taken to the Gordon’s Bay Police Station where they were detained for possession of presumably stolen property. They appeared in court on Tuesday 20 January. The case was postponed to 10 February.
The children find themselves in the care of Nompumelelo Gova from Asanda Village, Strand after their biological mother, Limpho Sweetness Lethala, passed away. Lastly, the department is seeking the public’s assistance in tracking down the biological parents, Xoliswa Skeyi and Thula Heleni, of a two-year-old child. The parents are believed to have lived together at G10 David Ngandi–Silahliwe Street, Lwandle until 19 January last year, when the mother, Skeyi, reported she is travelling to Queenstown in the Eastern Cape and never returned. Anyone with information can contact social worker Adelle Meyer or Shirna Jansen on 021 840 3500, during office hours (07:30 – 16:00).

Heat stroke can be fatal and should be treated as a medical emergency. Heat exhaustion is a less severe condition but can quickly progress to heat stroke if left untreated. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke occur when the body is unable to lower its temperature to normal levels through the skin or by sweating. Dehydration can cause heat stroke because the body is unable to sweat fast enough to dissipate the heat. Signs of heat exhaustion include: • Nausea or vomiting • A pale skin colour • Tiredness and weakness • Headache • Muscle cramps and dizziness
If the symptoms are severe or the victim has a heart condition or high blood pressure, seek urgent medical help. Give the person an oral rehydration solution. Do not add too much salt – the mixture should taste like tears. Sports drinks or commercial oral rehydration solutions are also effective. If the symptoms worsen or last longer than an hour, seek urgent medical attention. Children under two years are at high risk of dehydration. This is even more dangerous if a child has diarrhoea and/or vomiting. Use a sugar-salt-solution to help them to not dehydrate while you seek medical attention at your nearest clinic or emergency unit.

Erijaville-kinders speel rugby en netbal
Die Titus-gemeenskapstuinkomitee het besluit om daadwerklik iets te doen om kinders van die strate af te hou en het Erijaville United rugby- en netbalspanne op die been gebring.
Die komitee wil graag ingesluit word by wedstryde en toernooie wat in die Helderberg plaasvind. Tans is slegs twee van die spanne met volle sportuitrusting toegerus en die komitee vra vir donasies. Mense wat die spanne kan ondersteun of vir wedstryde wil nooi, kan Maria Gertse by 074 715 0419 of Nicholas Kordom by 072 150 5918 bel. Erijaville United se derde netbalspan is vol energie en geniet dit om te speel. By hulle is drie komiteelede, links is Jennifer Johnson. Agter is Maria Gertse en Sadiqa Youd.
