New structures
are fire resistant According to reports, over the last five years there were on average 10 shack fires a day in South Africa.

In Cape Town alone there are more than 100 deaths resulting from shack fires every year. One of the most devastating fires in an informal settlement in the history of Cape Town occurred in Khayelitsha at the beginning of 2013. More than 1 000 shacks burnt to the ground in this fire. During December and January this year, the number of people left homeless by shack fires amounted to nearly 5 200. “Shack fires are becoming prevalent throughout the country as shack settlements grow. As a result, increasing numbers of dwelling units are built using highly flammable substances such as wood, cardboard and plastic and are built in close proximity of each other,” said David Grier of the Cipla Foundation, which is run under the auspices of Cipla Medpro, South Africa’s third largest pharmaceutical company. “With limited services and infrastructure, and no safety controls in place, impulsive and fast spreading conflagrations are a constant threat. “Often, fire safety is compromised as many people in our country cannot afford safe energy sources and appliances.” To address the growing shack-fire crisis in informal settlements, Cipla Medpro launched Ajuga – a project that will see fire-resistant structures and crèches erected in informal settlements. The event held at Villiera outside Stellenbosch, saw an Ajuga structure set alight, demonstrating the effectiveness of the structure in combating and containing fires. “By replacing crèches with fire-resistant structures, this initiative ensures that when a
fire breaks out, the most vulnerable people in the community will be protected. With this initiative we can also provide children with a place of safety and improve the conditions in which they are schooled,” says Grier. Grier explains that the Ajuga unit is one of the most unique and effective fire-resistant structures available, as it is made from patented steel and fire-retardant panels, which have been fire-tested to 1 000 degrees. “The house takes one day to assemble, is fitted with standard windows and doors and services such as water and electricity can be installed.” Grier, who designed the Ajuga structure, says that together with Operation Smile, Cipla Medpro have for many years been involved in raising funds for corrective surgery for children born with cleft lips and palates. “During the Miles for Smiles initiatives, we noticed the rapid increase of children being admitted with serious burn wounds and that is when we decided to investigate the causes around this. When we saw the shocking devastation caused by shack fires, we could not walk away.” Earlier in February this year, the Cipla Foundation sponsored the first two Ajuga structures that replaced creches in the informal settlement of Du Noon in Cape Town. “Currently we import the main wall component for the units. However, there is a plan to have a local manufacturing facility up and running within the next five months, to contribute to growing the local economy, and increase the production levels of these structures,” says Grier.

Voedingsaksie soek ’n nuwe tuiste Stellenbosch-voedingsaksie (SVA) is tans dringend op soek na ’n nuwe perseel. SVA, ’n voedingskoördinerings-program wat funksioneer in die breër Stellenbosch munisipale gebied, voorsien weekliks sowat 8 500 maaltye, 3 000 ondersteunende maaltye en 3 000 kospakkies aan sowat 4 000 behoeftige individue, veral kinders in nood, siekes, bejaardes en haweloses. Die organisasie help dus grootliks met die groot voedseltekort wat swaar op menige Stellenbossers se skouers rus. Dít, veral na ’n studie deur die Sustainability Insitute onlangs bevind het dat 28% van die plaaslike gemeenskap nie oor voedselsekuriteit beskik nie. Ná ’n aantal jare by die NG Noordkerk, kom SVA se tyd op dié perseel tot op ’n einde. Hulle benodig nou dringend ’n nuwe perseel om hul diens voort te sit. Volgens Liesel Koen, die bestuurder, moet die perseel sentraal geleë wees, oor ’n kombuis beskik wat soos ’n industriële kombuis aangewend kan word, ’n stoorkamer hê met ruimte om droë voorrade te
stoor en vries- en yskaste te kan akkommodeer, ’n kantoor en parkeerplek vir drie voertuie. Die perseel word net vir administrasie- doeleindes gebruik en om die voedsel te ontvang, verwerk en te stoor. Maaltye word nie by die perseel bedien nie, slegs by verskeie voedingspunte in die dorp. SVA ondersteun ook 25 ander organisasies soos behoeftige crèches, nasorgsentrums, skole, Jeuguitreik en Stellenbosch Nagskuiling. Hulle voorsien ook sedert 2012 kospakkies aan sportuitreik-programme by skole. Volgens Koen het die vraag na maandelikse kospakkies by gemeenskapsorganisasies vanjaar grootliks toegeneem. SVA het Stellenbosch-rampbestuur in 2013 tydens twee brande asook tydens vloede en brande in 2012 ondersteun. SVA neem ook in skoolvakansies deel aan uitreik-aksies en opheffingsprogramme. Belangstellendes wat SVA dringend met ’n perseel in Stellenbosch kan help, kan ’n e-pos na voedingsaksie@telkomsa.net stuur of 021 886 8986/071 322 0747 bel.

The Stellenbosch Municipality will be continuing with its safer cycling campaign by having a fun ride every Friday. The campaign was launched in December 2012 in an attempt to reduce our carbon footprint and to encourage people to use the town’s extensive Non-Motorised Transport Network (NMT). The next fun rides will be held on 8, 15 and 22 March. The aim of the event is to increase awareness around the benefits of cycling and the relief it brings to the town’s already congested roads. The purpose of these events is to encourage motorists and cyclists to use the roads in a safer manner while cyclists will also be made aware of the increasing number of crime hot spots in and around the Stellenbosch municipal area. This initiative ties in with the municipality’s NMT project and the Safer Cycling Campaign respectively championed by the engineering services and community and protection services departments. Councillors and municipal officials will join in on the activities. The fun ride will start at 11:00 at the town hall in Plein Street and cyclists will cycle for about 90 minutes. The group leader will determine the route. Call Lizelle Stroebel (Stellenbosch Traffic department) on 021 808 8838 for further information. )For further information on the Safer Cycling Campaign visit www.eikestadnuus.co.za

Annual Woefie Wandel on 24 March on D’Aria Estate Take your pooch to join in the fun with hundreds of other dogs at this year’s SPCA Purina Woefie Wandel doggie-walk on 24 March on the D’Aria Wine Estate in the Durbanville area. This country dog walk, organised by the Cape of Good Hope SPCA (GoGH) and pet food company Purina, will take walkers and their dogs on a 4 km scenic circular route through charming vineyards. Before and after the walk, participants and their dogs can relax and socialise at the beautiful D’Aria Winery while enjoying wine-tasting, delicious eats and treats on offer, and taking part in fun giveaways, lucky draws and competitions. Owners will be able to shop for the latest and greatest doggy-products, while the kids entertain themselves with ice cream and jumping castles. Famed actress and Pasella presenter, Vicky Davis will be master of ceremonies for the day. Being an off-road country walk, the SPCA urges all entrants to wear proper walking shoes suitable for walking on dirt roads. “We also want to caution owners of short-nose breeds, such as bulldogs and pugs, and those with older dogs with joint problems, to consult their veterinarian before committing to take part in the walk. “Puppies under four months are not permit-
ted to take part. Owners of large breed dogs (18 months or younger) should also consider walking a shorter distance which will be indicated along the route, as extended walking can put undue pressure on delicate skeletal structures”, says Juan August, events coordinator. Water and cool-off points for both dogs and owners will be available along the routes. SPCA inspectors and Animal Welfare assistants will be on hand to ensure human and canine walkers are kept safe along the routes. Entry forms are available at local veterinarians, from the SPCA in Grassy Park and SPCA Vet Shop in Plumstead. Visit www.spcact.co.za for further information. Entrants who enter by email, fax, post or online at www.spca-ct.co.za before 17:00 on Friday 22 March, will qualify for a discounted entry fee of R35 per person and R25 per dog and no cost for children in prams. Entries on the day will open at 07:00 at a cost of R40 per person an R30 per dog (with children in prams free). All entrants have to register on the day (07:00 to 08:45). For information on the routes, venue and registration details visit www.spca-ct.co.za or call the CoGH SPCA on 021 700 4141/80.
First things first, go out and get tested The Stellenbosch University’s annual HIV testing campaign is back to challenge Maties and the rest of the community to be sure of their HIV status. This year the campaign will run between Monday 11 March to Friday 15 March on the Rooiplein in a marquee tent outside the Neelsie on the Stellenbosch campus. The faculty of Health Sciences will have its campaign on the Tygerberg campus from Monday 18 March to Wednesday 20
March. The campaign urges students, staff and those interested to come for a free and confidential HIV test. It, however, has a specific focus on first year students. The campaign, First Things First, aims to encourage young South Africans, the future leaders, to be responsible, get tested for HIV and to empower themselves. Please visit www.sun.ac.za/hiv for further information.

Kom neem jou foto om S’bosch se 333ste te vier Die foto is gratis en vorm deel van Thiel se projek om die 333ste jaar van Stellenbosch te herdenk én vier. Die projek behels die neem van 333 portretfoto’s van die dorp se mense. Volgens Thiel wil hy graag iets aan die dorp teruggee en voel hy dat die 333ste herdenking van die stigting van die dorp nie ongesiens behoort verby te gaan nie. “Die projek behels die neem van portretfoto’s van ons mense nou – om te wys dat ons almal Stellenbossers is. Dit kan ook aan komende geslagte wys wie ons is en was. Miskien kyk iemand oor 100 of dalk 333 jaar daarna en wonder
wat hierdie mense se drome en waarhede was.” Thiel het reeds met die Stellenbosch-erfenisfees verlede jaar sowat 250 van die foto’s geneem. Hy beoog om oor die naweek van 7 tot 9 Maart, tydens die US Woordfees, die res van die foto’s te neem. Thiel verduidelik dat hy egter nie by 333 foto’s sal stop indien daar meer mense opdaag nie – elke persoon se portret sal geneem word. Hy beplan dan om ’n kunswerk te maak waarin hy al die portrette sal gebruik. Dit sal in die dorp opgesit word om almal te herinner dat hulle Stellenbossers is. ’n Paar boeke sal ook gedruk word vir besigtiging in die dorpsargiewe. Thiel nooi alle Stellenbossers uit om hom van 7 tot 9 Maart in die Erfurthuis in Rynveldstraat te besoek waar die foto’s geneem sal word. Stuur ’n e-pos na erhardtthiel@me.com vir meer inligting.

ort Elizabeth – Municipalities around the country are being brought to their knees by ruthless syndicates who are responsible for cities and towns losing millions every month. The theft is relentless. In one of the more recent exa mples, t he Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality said it was lo s i n g 2 4 m i l l io n e a c h m o n t h . eThekwini ratepayers are reported to be losing R120 million a year.

Recently a large quantity of electricity boxes, connectors and a receipt book were found during the arrest of suspects in Port Elizabeth. The receipt book included addresses of buildings in Cape Town, George, Knysna and Port Elizabeth where electricity boxes were installed. Investigations are ongoing and information found in the receipt book could lead to further arrests. The perpetrators could face serious criminal charges.
also been reported as one of the factors that brought uMsunduzi Municipality to its knees. Many other smaller municipalities are likewise being devastated. The crime behind these losses is electricity theft and happens in various forms. Syndicates employ individuals who are desperate for work to sell illegal prepaid electricity vouchers, to connect households illegally, tamper with their meters, or to steal electricity cables. The culprits do all of this at a fee, luring innocent people into crime. These syndicates often pretend to be employees
Local government has joined forces with the power utility Eskom, the business sector and the media to stem the flow of losses caused by electricity theft. The South African Local Government Association (SALGA) is a core partner of Operation Khanyisa, a campaign that aims to mobilise all South Africans for legal, safe and efficient electricity use. SALGA has recently committed to redoubling its efforts to combat the crime of electricity theft, which it says is responsible for municipalities losing up to R3.2 billion each year.
OPERATIONKHANYISA.CO.ZA
According to SALGA’s Executive Director for Municipal Infrastructure Services, Mthobeli Kolisa, SALGA needs to coordinate and support municipalities to act and report their action in respect of electricity theft, and to review their bylaws to have more stringent penalties against electricity theft. At the launch of Operation Khanyisa, Xolile George, CEO of SALGA, described electricity theft as “a pandemic coursing through our delivery capabilities and fiscal planning.” “Local government,” he said “plays a pivotal role in the distribution of electricity, and electricity theft hits at the very heart of the electricity distribution industry in South Africa.” “Enough is enough,” George continued. “We have joined forces with our partners in Operation Khanyisa and will stamp out this crime.” Together with Crime Line, Operation Khanyisa provides a platform for South Africans to report electricity theft anonymously, by sending a detailed SMS to 32211 (R1/SMS).

Boland Rugby unie kies uitvoerende bestuur Die Boland Rugbyunie het op Donderdag 28 Februarie 2013 tydens die algemene jaarvergadering in Wellington sy nuwe uitvoerende bestuur gekies. Altesaam ses nuwe bestuurslede sluit hulle aan by Boland Rugbyunie se president Francois Davids, visepresident Nigel Samuels en uitvoerende hoof Willie Small . Die nuwe bestuurslede is Denver Pienaar, AK Warnick, Bertrum Vraagom, Hennie Lategan, Stephen Jones en Maurice Markus. Dié lede sal vir ’n termyn van twee jaar dien op die bestuur van die Boland Rugbyunie. Oor die nuutverkose lede, sê Davids dat hy baie positief is oor die vooruitsig van die Boland Rugbyunie. “Die nuwe lede is sterk individue en bring elkeen ’n bepaalde kundigheid na die tafel. Ons is opgewonde oor die pad vorentoe en saam kan elke bestuurslid ’n bydrae tot die Boland Rugbyunie lewer.” Die Boland Rugbyunie se uitvoerende hoof Willie Small, deel die president se mening. “Die nuwe bestuur het ná afloop van die
verkiesing vergader en ons is positief oor die strategiese rigting waarin die Boland Rugbyunie nou kan beweeg. “Met kundige bestuur en die feit dat elkeen ’n leierskapsposisie by sy klub beklee, is ons oortuig daarvan dat die unie in baie goeie hande is. “Die feit dat Boland Rugby nou die alleeneienaar is van die besigheidsarm (Boland Rugby Eiendoms Bpk), kan die nuwe lede, wat amper almal beskik oor besigheidsondervinding, ’n bydrae lewer om Boland Rugby tot ’n volgende vlak te neem.” Die kwessie rakende ’n skynbare mosie van wantroue deur Rangers-rugbyklub teen die presidensie en die vorige uitvoerende bestuur van Boland Rugby wat in 2012 in die media verskyn het, is tydens die algemene jaarvergadering met geen teenvoorstel, verwerp. “As mens kyk na waar die unie in 2009 was, teenoor waar die unie vandag is, is daar ’n aansienlike verbetering,” sê Davids. “Die unie beweeg op die regte pad en ons is opgewonde oor die toekoms van Boland Rugby.”
