Visitors and residents of the Western Cape should act quickly and responsibly to prevent fires from becoming disasters. Anton Bredell, the Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in the Western Cape, says when it comes to fires in the Western Cape, firefighting entities and government authorities cannot do the job alone. “We need everyone’s help.” The Western Cape Disaster Management Centre says fires are most often caused by electrical faults or carelessness. Cigarettes, matches and lighters, candles, heating appliances and open braai fires can all cause fires if not carefully monitored. The WCDMC has the following tips to help keep families safe from fire: What if a fire breaks out in my house? ) Warn people inside the house to get out safely. ) Help people to get out and stay out of harm’s way. ) If there is a lot of smoke, crawl out below the smoke to escape the fire.
) Where possible, have more than one exit from your house, with clear routes to the door. Safety around an Open Flame ) Keep matches and lighters out of children’s reach. ) Cut candles in half to prevent them falling over and use a candle holder. ) Never leave an open fire – for example around a braai - unattended. ) Do not let open fires – for example a braai - get too big and out of control. ) Monitor weather conditions. If the wind is strong, rather put the fires out till the wind dies down. General Safety tips ) Keep a well-maintained fire extinguisher in your house, and know how to use it. ) If you have a garden hose, keep it rolled up and ready in case of fire. ) Have an escape plan, and make sure that the whole family knows the plan. ) Do not park in the way of a fire hydrant (and remind your neighbours and visitors to do the same).

Evacuation drill at mall MICHELLE VAN DER SPUY Stellenbosch disaster management practiced their emergency evacuation procedures at Eikestad Mall last Tuesday. Employees and customers at Game joined in to act as injured shoppers. All Stellenbosch’s emergency services participated in the drill, which gave them the opportunity to test their preparedness Karin Retief, general manager at Eikestad Mall, says drills such these
are necessary. “The centre is required to test that the necessary emergency procedures are in place. “In an emergency evacuation, the ability to respond quickly and to operate in a coordinated team effort is vital to the reduction or elimination of personal injury as well as the overall safety of customers, tenants, staff and general public.” Shezayd Siegels, head of Stellenbosch Municipality’s disaster management, says the drill was a success but there is always room for improvement.
Employees and customers at Game pretended to be injured shoppers who had to be removed from the Mall.

Sonkrag bied volhoubare energie vir die toekoms Hoë produksiekostes is een van landbou se grootste knelpunte, en met die jaarlikse verhoging van elektrisiteitstariewe wat nie tred hou met inflasie nie, en die onstabiliteit van kragverskaffing, is volhoubare en alternatiewe oplossings noodsaaklik. Een van dié oplossings is sonkrag, wat al vir jare op afgeleë plase die enigste bron van energie was, maar nou al meer deur boere landwyd geimplementeer word. Die mark vir sonkrag sal verder vergroot as koolstofbelasting in 2015 ingestel word. Ook het sonkrag-aanlegte ’n groot invloed op ondernemings se volhoubaarheidstatus – iets wat veral onder kliënte wat by uitvoere betrokke is, baie hoog geag word. Fotovoltaïese sonpaneelaanlegte kan op bykans enige plek in SuidAfrika opgerig word en is dus geografies meer verspreid as ander kragopwekkingsbronne. Suid-Afrika het van die hoogste bestralingsvlakke ter wêreld en is dus veronderstel om die leier op dié gebied te wees, maar weens die relatiewe goedkoop krag waartoe verbruikers in die verlede toegang gehad het, is die moontlikheid nooit ten volle ontgin nie. André Potgieter van Energyworx, een van die grootste integreerders van dak-sonkrag in Suid-Afrika, sê die drastiese prysverhogings tesame met die skerp daling in die koste van fotovoltaïese stelsels, het die kostegaping aansienlik verklein en al meer mense sien die voordeel van son-energie vir die toekoms in. Hy verduidelik: “Dié panele verskaf elektrisiteit wanneer dit aan bestraling blootgestel word. Die krag wat opgewek word, word aan ’n omskakelaar gekoppel, wat dit na ’n wisselstroom verander en met die netwerkfrekwensie (Eskom) sinchroniseer en sodoende die direkte aanvraag van krag van Eskom verminder. “Eskom word nooit afgeskakel nie, maar bly op bystand vir wanneer die aanvraag groter as die sonkragaanbod is. Saans, wanneer die sonpanele geen effek het nie, voorsien Eskom dus al die krag, maar dan is dit gewoonlik teen ’n baie goedkoper tarief.” Van Suid-Afrika se voorste vrugteplase belê nou in grootskaalse sonpaneel-aanlegte. Lourensford-landgoed in Somerset-Wes het pas meer as R7 miljoen belê in die installasie van ’n 500 kWp-fotovoltaïese sonpaneelaanleg op die wynkelder se dak. Vir dié plaas is die voordele van dié belegging tweërlei: dit sal volhoubare energie verskaf, maar ook die plaas ’n treetjie nader aan die produksie van koolstof-neutrale wyne bring. Die vrugtebedryf verg baie hoë kragverbruik weens hul intensiewe verkoelingsaanlegte. Sonkrag werk in die warm maande op hulle hardste – dieselfde tyd wanneer die aanlegte die meeste op konstante verkoeling staatmaak. Energyworx het Suid-Afrika se
eerste dak sonkrag-aanleg groter as 100kWp by Villiera-wynlandgoed installeer. Dit word gereeld deur die Universiteit Stellenbosch vir toetsing gebruik en dien as vertoonvenster. Nog plase in die vrugtepakbedryf wat die voordeel van sonkrag ontdek het met die installasie van Energyworx-aanlegte, is onder meer Stellenpak in Simondium, die Bo-Radyn Boerdery buite Villiersdorp en Bluejays buite Stellenbosch. Stellenpak verskaf ’n verpakkings- en verkoelingsdiens en pak produsente se vars vrugte (pruime, pere, appels en sitrus) vir uitvoer. Robert Saunders van Stellenpak vertel dat Engergyworx hul sonpanele middel 2014 op die dak van hul pakhuis geïnstalleer het. “Die 420kWp stelsel wat 600 MWh per jaar gaan produseer, bestaan uit 1 680 panele wat ’n area van 2 744m² dek”, sê Saunders. “Daar is 21 omskakelaars – 15 hiervan voorsien krag aan die koelkamers en ses aan die pakhuis. Geen krag word op die oomblik gestoor nie.” Elektrisiteit maak ongeveer 10% van hul totale produksiekoste uit en hoewel hulle nog nie genoeg syfers het nie, reken hulle die panele gaan ’n 15%-besparing meebring. “Ons grootste enkele oorweging vir die installering was om ons kragrekening te verlaag, maar dit gaan ook daaroor om ons koolstofproduksie te verlaag.” Sandra Jeffery van die Timberlea Farming Trust, een van die Bluejay Groep se verskaffers, vertel met sonskynweer verlaag hul sonkragpanele die plaas se elektrisiteitsrekening met tot 20%. “Hoewel ons kragrekening verlaag het, kan ons nou ook sonkrag as bemarkingsgeleentheid vir groen inisiatiewe aanwend,” vertel sy. Afhangende van waar in SuidAfrika jou panele geïnstalleer is, en teen watter tarief krag aan jou verkoop word, word die aanvanklike insetkoste binne ses tot agt jaar gedelg. Elke keer as Eskom sy tariewe verhoog, word jou insetkostes vinniger gedelg. “Die paar duisend rand wat jy aanvanklik gespaar het, is nie die moeite werd as jy na vyf jaar met sonpanele sit waarvan die produksie só afgeneem het, dat jy nie jou insetkoste uit die belegging kan verhaal nie. Boonop het die maatskappy wat die installasie gedoen het, hul geld uit jou uit en verdwyn,” sê Potgieter. Hy voeg by dat dit baie maklik is om ’n 25 jaar waarborg op ’n paneel te verskaf, maar dit niks werd is as die maatskappy ’n jaar later sy deure sluit nie. Die installering van die sonpanele laat nie die werk op die plaas stilstaan nie. Inteendeel, installeerders werk meestal op die dak, uit almal se pad en wanneer die hoof-koppeling gemaak word, word die krag vir hoogstens ’n uur afgeskakel. Dié hoofkoppeling word meestal na-ure gedoen, wanneer dit niemand se werksaamhede in die wiele ry nie.

Dink hieraan as jy sonkrag oorweeg: V Dakstruktuur: die meeste SuidAfrikaanse dakke moet volgens regulasie ’n lewendige las van 50 kg/m² kan hanteer. Die sonpanele weeg gemiddeld 13,5 kg/m² as dit geïnstalleer is. V Die dak moet verkieslik noord front, maar enigiets tussen noordnoordwes of noord-noordoos, gee goeie resultate in Suid-Afrika. V Die dakhelling: hoe verder
van noord die dak afwyk, hoe platter moet die dak wees om goeie resultate te lewer. V Groot bome of strukture wat skadu op die panele kan gooi, moet vermy word. V Die afstand van die dak met die sonpanele tot by die hoof kragboks moet so kort as moontlik gehou word om kabelverliese te verlaag en kabelkostes laag te hou.

Steyn stap 97 km op krukke SHAWN VALENTINE Paul Steyn, van die Paul Steynstigting, het op 17 November by sy oorblystop op Stellenbosch aangekom gedurende sy 97 km-stap vanaf Wellington na die Waterfront in Kaapstad. Die Wellington-tot-Kaapstad-stap dien as ’n bewusmakingsveldtog asook ’n geldinsamelingsprojek vir persone wat prostese benodig. Steyn, wat op 13-jarige ouderdom sy regterbeen verloor het, onderneem die reis op krukke. “Ek is flippen seer,” vertel Steyn aan Eikestadnuus. “Kyk, ek was jonk toe ek my been verloor het en nog van krukke moes gebruik maak, so dit is die rede hoekom ek dit doen. Ek wil aan mense probeer demonstreer hoe moeilik dit is om nie ’n prostese te hê nie.” Steyn het vanaf Pniel na Stellenbosch gestap en het tot sy aankoms in Stellenbosch 44,4 km voltooi. Hy is deur die Stellenbosch-brandweer en die verkeersbeamptes begelei tot by Eikestad Mall, waar hy sy 12 km-stap vir die dag voltooi het. Amptenare van die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit het Paul na die winkelsentrum vergesel.
Sportdag in Cloetesville Impact through Sport in samewerking met Lyndoch Primêr sal ’n sportdag aanbied op Saterdag 29 November by Cloetesville sportterrein.

Ek dink hierdie stap het sy doel bereik; mense weet hoekom hy dit doen en ook bring dit mense saam,” sê Rowena Kellies, die adjunkdirekteur in die kantoor van die
Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit se munisipale bestuurder. Die Paul Steyn-stigting is ’n geregistreerde niewinsgewende organisasie met die hoofdoel om persone met ledemate wat geamputeer is, te help om prostese te bekom.
