Grabouw blaze stopped in its tracks The Overberg District Municipality requested urgent help from the City of Cape Town to fight an extensive fire that was raging in the Grabouw area on Thursday. The City dispatched six fire tenders and four water tankers, said Theo Layne, spokesperson for the City’s fire department. He said the fire was burning towards an informal settlement but at no stage did it get nearer than 100 metres due to the quick reactions of the firefighters. Read the story on p. 3.

Bendegeweld breek uit op B’dorp ’n Geveg wat verlede week in die strate van Bredasdorp tussen vermeende lede van twee bendes uitgebreek het, was so gespanne dat die polisie versterkings van ’n buurdorp moes inroep. Die skermutseling het Sondagaand 11 Januarie tussen 21:00 en 22:00 uitgebreek. Die oorsaak is volgens onbevestigde inligting dat een bende

glo die ander verdink het vir die dood van ’n vermeende lid. Volgens ooggetuies het mans, na bewering van die berugte 26’s- en 28’s-bendes, gewapen met onder meer messe, pangas en ander skerp voorwerpe, slaags geraak en mekaar in die gebied tussen Wilgerlaan en Rivierstraat agternagesit. Inwoners het by tye bedreig gevoel en een buurtwaglid, wat om sy eie veiligheid naamloos bly, het gesê mense het outomaties teruggedink

Een lid van die gemeenskap en drie bendelede is daardie dag dood. Die Bredasdorp-polisie het in verlede week se voorval versterkings van Napier ingeroep en die situasie is Maandagmiddag onder beheer gebring. Geen lede van die gemeenskap

Volgens die buurtwaglid was dit die skerp voorwerpe wat gebruik is, en dat ook kinders aan die geweld blootgestel is, wat inwoners getraumatiseer het.

Eeuplant blom 1ste keer ERIEKA ROUX Meer as dertig jaar gelede het Marie Klaasen en haar kleuterseun Brendell ’n steggie van ’n vetplant in die grond in Tennisstraat in Botrivier gedruk.
24 Januarie ) Greyton NG kerk nooi almal uit na hul buitelugpiekniek met Andriëtte Norman by die pragtige The Oaks Estate, net buite Greyton. Daar is ’n voorskou deur Erik Zulch. Die hekke open om 17:30 en die konsert begin om 19:00. Navrae: 079 895 0072.

The Caledon’s Pick Your Fortune promotion wrapped up with a bang on Friday 19 December 2014, giving away cash winnings of R100 000. The biggest winner of the draw was Joseph Fisher from Kleinmond, who walked away with a total of R20 000 in cash. The Caledon Casino Director of Operations and Complex General Manager, Paul Campbell said guests had to play slots or tables with their rewards programme card to earn tickets into the draw. Above are the Caledon Casino MC Sean Katz and Joseph Fisher.
Deur die jare het die plantjie in wind en weer gestaan en talle mense het gewonder hoekom die plant dan nooit blom nie. Hulle het ook nie geweet watter soort plant dit is nie. Tot almal se verbasing het hierdie plant, wat intussen reusagtig geword het, sowat twee maande gelede tekens getoon dat dit gaan blom, nes verskeie ander soortgelyke bome in verskeie dorpe. By navraag is vasgestel dat hierdie plant met sy reuseblom ’n Amerikaanse eeuplant (Agave americana) is. Die plant is inheems aan SuidAmerika en die inboorlinge het geglo die plant word tot 100 jaar oud, vandaar die naam eeuplant. Nadat die plant geblom het sal die blare verdor en dit dan uiteindelik vrek, waarna ’n nuwe plant uit steggies sal groei. ’n Inwoner van Tennisstraat, Margeret Pheiffer, sê sy kyk elke dag by haar voordeur uit om te sien hoe die blom vorder. Marie is intussen oorlede en haar suster,
Peggy Moses (78), is baie opgewonde oor die plant wat nou na al die jare blom.

Matriekprestasies ’n ‘spanpoging’ ANNETTE THERON Met ’n slaagpersentasie van 88,1% was die Overberg onder die vyf bes presterende distrikte uit 81 in die land, en Bertram Loriston, direkteur van die Overberg-onderwysdistrik, wil die klas van 2014 hartlik geluk wens. “Ons is een van slegs twee landelike distrikte wat die toppresteerderlys gehaal het. Dit is die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar dat die OOD erkenning van die nasionale minister ontvang vir hul uitmuntende prestasie.” Loriston sê sukses kan nie aan een faktor toegeskryf word nie. “Dis ’n saamwerkooreenkoms tussen die skoolhoof, opvoeders, amptenare , ouers en gemeenskapsleiers wat gesorg het dat ons leerders deeglik voorberei is vir die eksamen.” Hy sê geen onderwysstelsel kan sukses behaal indien hierdie rolspelers nie toegespits is om te verseker dat die leerders ondersteun word op alle gebiede nie. “Ons skoolhoofde het hul rol uitstekend vertolk en ek is oortuig dat hulle dit beter gaan doen in 2015. Baie van ons onderwysers en skoolhoofde het die ekstra myl geloop en individuele onderhoude met ouers en leerders gevoer, ekstra klasse aangebied, huisbesoek gedoen en so verseker dat ons leerders gefokus bly.” Hy meen die klas van 2014 het ’n hoë mikpunt
vir die klas van 2015 gestel. “Geen skool in die distrik het ’n slaagsyfer onder 70% behaal nie en 76% van die skole in die distrik het ’n slaagsyfer van 80% en hoër behaal. Dit getuig van die kwaliteitonderrig wat in ons skole gelewer word. In 2013 het 82,7% van die kandidate gekwalifiseer vir toelating tot graad- of diplomakursusse. In 2014 het hierdie syfer gestyg na 85,8%.” Loriston sê die Overberg-onderwysdistrik het ’n teiken van ’n 90%-slaagsyfer gestel vir die skole in die distrik en het 1,9 % onderpresteer. “Die slaagsyfer vir 2013 was 90% (die eerste distrik in die Wes-Kaap wat hierdie prestasie kon behaal) en vir 2014, 88,1%. Die aantal kandidate wat toelating tot B-graadstudie verkry is nog ’n area waarop ons gaan fokus in 2015.” Loriston het ook die redes vir die daling in die slaagsyfer verduidelik. “Dit was die eerste jaar dat die eksamen afgelê word in die KABV (CAPS)-kurrikulum. “Die inhoud was in baie gevalle nie die uitdaging nie, maar die vereiste wat gestel was om sekere vrae te beantwoord. Leerders se lees met begrip en die skryf van ’n feite-respons sal in die toekoms moet verbeter om sukses in die vraestelle te behaal. “Ek is oortuig dat ons opvoeders en amptenare reeds besig is met ’n indiepte-analise van die vraestelle om te verseker dat Overberg een van
die topdistrikte in die land bly. Die beleidsimplikasie rakende die progressie van leerders het ook ’n negatiewe uitwerking in sommige skole op die slaagsyfer gehad.” Tog het baie leerders uitsonderlik presteer. RobinBosmanvanSwartbergSekondêrisverlede Woensdag by Leeuwenhof op die merietelys geplaas as een van die toppresteerders in die Wes-Kaap. Sy het ’n gemiddeld van 92,7% behaal. Hoërskool Overberg se topdrie matrieks vir 2014 is Liné Els en Inus Bernardo, wat albei 88,5% behaal het en Carla Zondagh met 87,2%. Hoërskool Bredasdorp is net so trots op hul 98%-slaagsyfer. In ’n persverklaring wat deur die skool gestuur is, sê hy 95 uit die 96 leerders kwalifiseer vir graadstudie. Daar was 77 vak A’s en 7 A-gemiddeldes: Elanie van Schalkwyk (91,1%); Larissa Geldenhuys (86,5%); Fatima Mentoor (84,8%); John Briers (82,8%); Etienne Jacobs (82%); Derik Theron (81,3%); Mabeth Crafford (81%). Die toppresteerders van die ander skole in die area is: Albert Myburg – David Olivier; De Rust Futura Akademie – Nathon Gelderblom; Hoërskool De Villiers Graaff – Lillian Malan; Emil Weder – Maresha Spandiel; Hoërskool Grabouw – Jacquin Titus; Groenberg Sekondêr – Juandre Plaatjies; Qhaiyiya Sekondêr – Simamkele Dyasophi; Hoërskool Riviersonderend – Clarrisa Mars; Amyezo Wama Apile – Gift Ailimela.

R320-padwerkers protesteer ANNETTE THERON Padwerkers het Donderdagoggend protesteer op die R320 net langs Vleiview. Volgens inligting was die werkers glo ongelukkig met hul huidige arbeidsunie se werksaamhede. Caledon-polisie- en -verkeersbeamptes was op die toneel en het gesê die protes is vreedsaam. Daar was geen bedreiging vir padgebruikers op die R320 nie en verkeer is gereguleer. Virgill Bester, waarnemende provinsiale verkeershoof van Caledon, het gesê dis hul hoofprioriteit om toe te sien
dat die verkeer vloei en die veiligheid van motoriste beskerm word. ’n Motoris wat op pad was vanaf Hermanus na Caledon sê die een stop-en-ry-punt aan Caledon se kant naby Diepgat was onbeman. “Dit was nogal gevaarlik omdat daar ’n paar voertuie was wat van voor af gekom het in ’n eenrigtingbaan.” Andries von Wageningen, die ingenieur op die konstruksieterrein, het by navraag gesê daar is Donderdag ’n vergadering gehou met die werkers en die hoofkontrakteur se bestuur. “Verskille is bygelê en padwerke is gister in alle erns hervat.”
Villiersdorp dagga bust The Villiersdorp Police held several operations in their continued fight against drug abuse in Villiersdorp. WO Sylvester de Long, spokesperson for the Villiersdorp Police says on 13 January Const. Jacobus Engelbrecht and WO Rubarn Williams confiscated 2 kg of dagga in Nuwedorp.

In another operation held on 14 January, where the police followed up on information received, a black Velocity Golf was stopped
and searched on the road between Villiersdorp and Worcester. The police confiscated 435 g of dagga with an estimated street value of R80 000. Three suspects, aged between 20 and 30, were arrested. They appeared in the Caledon Court on 15 January. Arrests were made by Const. Francois Germishuys, Const. Gloria Luleka Baba, Const. Sindile Chris Hoko and Reginald Baster. De Long says more operations are planned and the public must be made aware that the police are busy addressing the drug issue in Villiersdorp.

Weldade van Jesus vir ons
Geweldloos Die wêreld is oorvol misdaad soos bendegeweld en verkragting, waarmee plaaslike inwoners vroeg in 2015 reeds te doen gekry het. Die polisie vra die gemeenskap se hulp met die opspoor van die vermeende verkragter van ’n 12-jarige meisie wat tragies in haar eie huis oorval en verkrag is. Op Bredasdorp is inwoners teruggeruk na ’n traumatiese dag byna 15 jaar gelede waarin bendegeweld verskeie lewens in hul midde geëis het. Die bekamping van misdaad is toenemend nie net die taak van die polisie nie – dit het lankal die afmetings aangeneem wat almal se oë, ore, koppe en waaksaamheid vereis. Iets soos bendegeweld is weliswaar ’n baie gekompliseerde saak, maar die verantwoordelikheid om planne te beraam om dit op elke front moontlik teen te werk, sal nooit verdwyn nie. Die polisie behoort deeglike werk saam met die gemeenskap te doen om te verseker dat die dekades wat kom, soos dié wat ná November 1999 gevolg het, ook sonder gebeure soos dié van verlede Maandag verloop.
Ps.103:2 – “Loof die Here o my siel, en vergeet geeneen van Sy weldade nie.” In hierdie Psalm profeteer Dawid die weldade wat Jesus vir die mens bewys het deur Sy kruisdood. In vers 3 verwys hy na ons ongeregtighede wat ons pleeg as gevolg van die feit dat ons nie ons wil aan God onderwerp nie. In die tuin van Getsémane stort Hy Sy eerste bloed en maak dit vir die mens moontlik om sy wil aan God se wil te onderwerp. “Nogtans nie My wil nie, maar U wil.” (Luk. 22:42,44.) In Ps.103:4 profeteer Dawid dat Jesus ons kroon met goedertierenheid en barmhartigheid. In Matt.27:29 word ’n doringkroon op Jesus se
hoof vasgestamp. Die bloed vloei vir die derde keer en Hy breek die vloek van Gen.3:17-18 (waar God die aarde vervloek het weens die sonde van Adam en Eva). (Luk.23:46) Ps.103:5 “Wat jou jeug weer nuut maak soos die van ’n arend” verwys na wedergeboorte. Toe die soldaat die spies in Jesus se hart druk en water en bloed vloei uit, toe betaal Jesus die prys van wedergeboorte vir die mens. Wedergeboorte maak jou nuut. Vyf keer het Jesus Sy bloed vir ons gestort. Dawid het dit geprofeteer en dit weldade genoem.

Dokters het hard probeer Meeka Coert het Sondag ongeveer 21:00 skielik te sterwe gekom. Sy was besig om ’n stokkielekker te suig waarvan die stokkie los gekom het en sy dit ingesluk het. Haar ma en familie het desperaat probeer om die stokkielekker uit te haal. ’n Klinieksuster het ook op die toneel opgedaag en haar pogings was ook onsuksesvol. Mense het begin saamdrom buite die huis in Botrivier en die ambulans is ook in kennis gestel. Francois Swart het by die toneel opgedaag en met haar na Caledon-hospitaal gejaag onder polisiebegeleiding. Met hul aan-
koms by die hospitaal was sy alreeds dood volgens een van die dokters. Drie dokters, vier paramedici en ses verpleegsters het alles in hul vermoë gedoen om haar te probeer red, maar tevergeefs. Ons wil aan die dokters wat ingestaan het en die personeel ons dank uitspreek. Ons weet hulle het alles en hard probeer. Meeka was ’n spontane, liefdevolle sonstraaltjie. Sy het in baie mense se harte gekruip en daardie straaltjie van liefde nagelaat. Rus in vrede.

Camp for two years before you buy and build
Had the rare privilege of being rained upon in bed last night; nothing serious like a missing roof, just a skylight left open because it shouldn’t rain in January. Of course a howling north-westerly during the afternoon and the weather forecast should have warned me, but sadly they got it right. Early this morning the surf was still growling angrily at being whipped all night long. Talkingaboutthesitingofadwelling:planners recommend camping on a plot for at least two years to find out what the weather is like there. A close relative who moved to the Cape ignored this wisdom in looking for his building plot. One sunny Sunday morning he and his wife drove through Gordon’s Bay, unfortunately on a rare windless day when the sun sparkles on False Bay and the village and harbour look particularly post-cardy. Wife was captivated, and immediately went in search of an estate agent.
Couldn’t believe the modest price quoted for the stunning view site and bought it on the spot and started building a house. Now the modest price of the plot became clear: gale-force south-easterlies in summer that mercilessly rattled every roof sheet and reduced gardening to a desperate search for plants that don’t stick up more than a couple of centimetres above the ground, or shrubby things that can be persuaded to grow just a bit more horizontally than vertically. Their first winter brought a change, if not quite for the better: now the north-westerlies sought out every crack and crevice through which to force rainwater while opening every closed door and closing every open one. I exaggerate, but once I had passed a few seasons on my own plot further down the coast, living in a caravan while I considered a suitable
design and its siting, I had a far better idea of what I was likely to face. The response was a gabled roof, with the ends facing north-west/south east, a roof structure of solid gum poles bolted together and concreted into the walls and roof sheets nailed down through every corrugation. On the morning after a particularly rough north-westerly, during which the roof creaked like a sailing ship in a storm, I walked out to find my neighbour below me, leaning over the fence. “How’s your roof?”, he enquired. “Thought I’d lose it, but luckily still there,” I said. “Yours?” “Sitting at the bottom of the field, all in one piece...” Talking about raising the roof: two significant events happened in the press recently: Allister Sparks published an op-ed piece in Die Burger (!) and Max du Preez stopped writing for the Inde-

My naam is Anne. Ek is 53 jaar en woon in Worcester. Ek het eens op 'n tyd alles gehad, was met 'n lieflike man getroud en het in 'n groot maatskappy gewerk. Ek het alles gehad maar dit het net verdwyn, wat groot nagevolge in my lewe gehad het en het ek baie geld aan dokters spandeer wat belowe het om my te help, maar toe net teleurgestel het en al my geld gevat het. Eendag het 'n familielid my na Mama Nina geneem, sy het ons net R850 laat betaal. Mama Nina het ons in 'n dag se tyd gehelp. Ek het my man en alles wat ek verloor het, terug gekry asook die geld wat ek aan die ander dokters spandeer het.

Caledon-rugbyklub reeds flink aan die oefen Caledon-rugbyklub se voorseisoen-oefeninge is tans in volle swang en die klub wil graag voortbou op verlede seisoen se sukses waar hulle as enigste span in die Overberg in die Top 8-uitspeelrondes van die Boland Superliga-Oos meegeding het. Hoofafrigter Elvan Verhoog en eerste span-hulpafrigter Alex Kleinsmith is vol vertroue dat die klub nog groter hoogtes gaan bereik in die volgende twee jaar. “Doelwitte is gestel en fondamente is alreeds gelê in verlede seisoen.

The first polo game of the season was played at the Maremmana Polo and Country Club, in the Bot River Valley last Saturday. This was also an ideal opportunity for the younger ponies to participate in their very first gameoftwo-a-side.Sixchukkasofsevenminutes were played. Playing for team Old Harbour Brewery (Hermanus’s first local brewery), were Valerian van der Byl of Fairfield Farm, Napier and Nellie Jacobs of the Berkshire Polo Club in England. “Nellie was the star of the day, showing great control of the younger ponies and accurate goal shooting. Valerian displayed a high degree of skill with the ball and their win over Maremmana was well deserved”, said Peter Stuart, developer of the Maremmana Polo Estate and founder of Cartierra Wines. The Maremmana team of Mark Greig from Cape Town Polo Club and Andrew Stuart put in a late surge of goals in the last chukka to finish the game at 12 - 9 up. The day proved to be wonderful for a family outing, with the clubhouse set amongst vineyards overlooking the Babilonstoren and Kogelberg mountains and several braai fires going. The polo action on the day was rounded off by a couple of friendly games of boule. Piglet, a pink piggy-bank, who eagerly raises funds for the Hermanus Animal Welfare Society, also “attended” the event and is grateful for all the donations received.

Die ander span van Caledon met Peter Quinn, Bräsler van Schoor, Nico Kriel en Johan Wentzel het ook uitstekende rolbal gespeel en het hul eerste twee wedstryde gewen, maar was ongelukkig om in die laaste wedstryd die laaste skof met een skoot te verloor. Caledon-rolbalklub is voorwaar baie trots op al agt hierdie manne wat hul naam so hoog hou. Yvonne Pretorius

The Caledon annual golf tournament a success for Suncares Held in the spirit of fun, The Caledon annual golf tournament – hosted from 31 November to 3 December last year – raised a total of R85 000 for a talented 16-year-old from The Caledon Suncares Sports Academy. The Caledon Casino Director of Operations and Complex General Manager, Paul Campbell says, “The tournament is an annual event held in support of the Caledon Suncares Sports Academy to improve the lives of young sportsmen and sportswomen in the Caledon-Overberg area. “For this event our focus was on 16-yearold scholar Jade Fortuin who was part of the Western Province under 16 Craven Week team that won the finals in 2014. We are committed to continue raising funds for his schooling at Paarl Gymnasium,” he adds. Funds were raised through CSI sponsorships and a raffle sale. Raffle tickets cost guests R100 each and offered ticket holders a chance to win a variety of great prizes. “Together these initiatives raised a total of R85 000,” Campbell says.
This year’s invitational participants teeing off at the Hermanus and Arabella Golf Course were gaming suppliers Aruze, AGI, IGT, Atomic, GameSmart, Simplicit-E and Old Mutual. Campbell says, “This year we also had a legend 4-ball of celebrity former Springbok rugby players Breyton Paulse and Marius Joubert, who attended the prize giving function together with Springbok squad member Scarra Ntubeni.” For added entertainment the Duck and Dive band added flair to the Cowboys and Crooks-themed braai and Larry Soffer mesmerised guests at the prize giving with mind-blowing illusions and mind reading. “Since its inception, this tournament has become a great golfing event with regular attendees who make the annual trip. We are pleased that the event was a success and thank all who took part,” Campbell concluded.
