Ongeluk op die R304:
’n Vroulike bestuurder moes met swaar toerusting uit haar motor verwyder word ná ’n botsing op die R304 Woensdag. ’n Man wat saam met haar in die motor was het kopbeserings opgedoen toe hul motor teen ’n vragmotor gebots het. Die ongeluk het net ná 11:00 op die R304 (Koelenhofpad) by die afrit na Sandringham plaasgevind. Die vragmotor het van die toneel weggery. Dit was die eerste ongeluk die afgelope paar maande waar iemand ernstige beserings opgedoen het. Luidens Mediclinic se woordvoerder is Mary Thomson, die bestuurder, ná die ongeluk in die Stellenbosch Mediclinic opgeneem waar sy tans vir ’n heupfraktuur behandel word. Haar toestand is stabiel.

PATALOOG OOR COSTA
Twee doodskote CARRYNANN NEL
SPORT Vuurwarm interskole aksie bl. 44
E
lk van die twee koeëls wat Alberto Costa verlede jaar deurboor het, sou op sy eie dié Stellenbosse boer se dood veroorsaak het. Dr. Deidré Abrahams, ’n forensiese patoloog, het Woensdag in die Wes-Kaapse hooggeregshof oor die wonde aan Costa se liggaam getuig. Sy het die ondersoek op die oorledene se liggaam op 20 Februarie verlede jaar gedoen. Costa (44) is op 18 Februarie 2011 voor die deur van sy plaashuis buite Stellenbosch doodgeskiet toe hy ondersoek na ’n inbraak
gaan instel het. Drie mans – Mfundiso Yese (25), Simamkele Mralaza (29) en Cedric Mphakati (27) – staan in verband met die voorval tereg op aanklagte van moord, poging tot huisbraak en die onwettige besit van ’n vuurwapen en ammunisie. Al drie ontken skuld. ’n Vierde beskuldigde, Vicicelo Madolo, (27), is in Junie ná ’n pleit-en-vonnisooreenkoms tot 20 jaar tronkstraf gevonnis. Hy het reeds getuig. Costa is in die nek en bors geskiet. Hy het ook geringe beserings aan sy voorkop, elmboog en knie opgedoen – vermoedelik van die
val ná die skote. Die persoon wat die skote gevuur het was aan die linkerkant van die oorledene, het Abrahams getuig. Albei skote het Costa van links na regs deurboor. “Elke wond sou op sy eie die oorledene se dood veroorsaak het.” Op ’n vraag van die staatsaanklaer, advokaat Maria Marshall, oor hoe lank ná die skietery Costa dood is, het Abrahams gesê dit het enkele minute geneem. “Ek sou sê hy is een, twee, selfs drie minute ná die skote dood.” Die verhoor voor regter André le Grange duur voort.

KANKERLYERS
Vrede, aanvaarding nodig SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
“A
S jy die woord kanker hoor, dan dink jy dadelik net aan die dood.” Só sê Linda de Vries (49), ’n ma van drie van Cloetesville, wat in 2008 met borskanker gediagnoseer is. Eikestadnuus het vandeesweek met Linda, as ’n eerste in ’n reeks artikels in aanloop tot die CANSA Relay for Life Stellenbosch, oor dié soort kanker gaan gesels. Die Relay word vanjaar van 29 tot 30 September op die Idasvallei-sportgronde aangebied. Die tema vanjaar is borskanker. Die Relay bied ’n geleentheid aan alle Stellenbossers om hul ondersteuning vir kankerlyers te wys deur aan die deurnag-stap deel te neem. Linda vertel dat sy op ’n aand in 2008 ’n knop in haar bors gevoel het, maar eers nie veel aandag daaraan gegee nie. Dit is egter eers toe dit haar begin pla dat sy die dokter besoek het en met borskanker gediagnoseer is. Sy moes binne ’n week twee operasies ondergaan waar daar sowat 28 kliere by haar verwyder is. “Dit is regtig ’n groot skok om die woord kanker te hoor. Ek het vir ’n ruk lank gehuil, waarna ek vrede daarmee gemaak het en dit kon aanvaar.
Dit is belangrik vir kankerlyers om vrede met die siekte te maak. “Ek het net vir die Here gebid om my krag te gee en te genees.” Ná die operasies moes Linda chemoterapie, asook 31 aaneenlopende dae van bestraling ontvang. Sy verduidelik dat elke kankerlyer dié sessies anders ervaar en dat sy vreeslik naar gevoel het. Gemmerkoekies het egter soms met die naarheid gehelp. “My man, Deon, het ook elke sessie saam met my deurgemaak. Sy ondersteuning was vir my só kosbaar.” Sy voeg by dat ná die sewentiende dag van bestraling, haar hare begin uitval het. “My hare het op my skouers gehang. Toe dit begin uitval het ek sommer dadelik haarkapper toe gegaan en alles afgesny. “Ek was nie juis skaam nie, want ek het soveel komplimente gekry.” Linda is nou sowat vier jaar skoon van kanker, maar pronk steeds trots met ’n borselkop weens die kankerpil wat sy gebruik. Die kanker kan egter enige tyd terug-
kom, maar sy is voorbereid, selfs vir die moontlikheid dat haar borste afgesit kan word. Die kanker het haar sterker gemaak, voeg sy by. Sy meen dat vroue egter nie genoeg oor borskanker weet nie en dat dit belangrik is om gereeld getoets te word. Vir ander kankerlyers het sy die volgende raad: “Raak betrokke by organisasies soos die Kankervereniging van Suid-Afrika (Kansa) en neem deel aan geleenthede soos die relay waar jy oor jou kanker kan praat.” ) Die CANSA Relay for Life Stellenbosch word deurnag van 29 tot 30 September gehou en almal is welkom. Stappers neem in spanne van tien lede deel en die inskrywingsgeld is R600 per span. Spanne moet teen 26 September registreer.

Rowers slaan Safeguard your house weer toe ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN
A
NUMBER of areas have been targeted by burglars over the past week, and theft from cars has also been on the rise. Die Boord, Jamestown and Plankenbrug were hot spots for burglary, while theft from cars is being reported in many areas throughout Stellenbosch. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Natalie Martin warned residents to take care, as a number of the recent burglaries took place while the residents were at home. “Make provision for good outside lighting, but switch them off during the day. If lights are on during daytime, burglars will take it as a sign that no one is at home. “Never open the door automatically whenever the bell rings or someone knocks. Make sure the person wanting to enter is expected. “Install the best security you can afford – for example, security gates at outside doors. Keep these gates locked and, if possible, fix a door viewer and latch chain. “When approaching your house – be it
by foot or car – be aware of persons loitering in your street. Call the police if you notice any suspicious persons in the area,” Martin urged. “Never leave your gates, garage, front or back door open – or even partially open – because this serves as an invitation to burglars. “When leaving your home, make sure windows are closed, and make sure you remove unnecessary keys from the inside of doors. “Be sure to know all your emergency numbers, and keep cash and valuables in safes or banks.” Martin also warned that thefts from cars are often the result of negligence. “Do not leave valuable items in your vehicle when you park. Many motorists leave their cars for a long time and notice the break-in on return. “A number of valuable items, including four laptops, three hard drives, sun glasses, two wallets, a leather jacket, clothing and a cellphone, were stolen from vehicles only last week,”Martins pointed out. “Be more aware of crime, and rather carry valuables with you – or make sure to lock them in your boot.”

’n GROEP gewapende mans het vandeesweek weer toegeslaan in die Eikestad en met ’n groot bedrag kontant gevlug. Volgens sers. Zenobia Sedeman, die polisiewoordvoerder, het die voorval Maandag om 11:45 by die Caltex-motorhawe in die omgewing van Du Toitstasie in Birdstraat plaasgevind. “’n Gepantserde voertuig het by die vulstasie gestop om kontant uit die valkluis te haal. “Die kluis maak aan die kant van die gebou oop. Die beampte het die kluis oopgemaak toe twee mans agter hom kom staan. Een van die mans het ’n vuurwapen gehad. “Hulle het die beampte beveel om die tas met kontant neer te sit, dit opgetel en oor die pad gehardloop waar ’n blou Toyota-voertuig vir hulle gewag het. Hulle het in die rigting van Kayamandi gevlug.” Die voorval volg op ’n reeks gewapende rooftogte die laaste twee maande by verskeie winkels in die area. Niemand is tot dusver in hegtenis geneem nie.
A NUMBER of hot spots for burglary and bicycle theft have been reported over the last week.

SIZAMILE CRÈCHE
Burglars target crèche ELBÉ VAN HEERDEN
O
NLY a few weeks after the Stellenbosch police spent their 67 minutes for Mandela Day to help Sizamile Crèche in Kayamandi, it was targeted by burglars. Twice. According to the principal, Nomonde Sotondoshe, the first burglary happened on the night of 7 August. “They broke into the toddlers’ classroom and stole a television – and also took the burglar bars, which were broken out of the window. “They returned on 8 August to break into the older children’s classroom, and stole our microwave.” The crèche, which has been operating in Ndzawumbi Street, Kayamandi, since 1980, has only been targeted once before while Sotondoshe has been principal. Police spokesperson Lieutenant Natalie Martin says officers chose the crèche as part of their

Mandela Day activities as they’d noticed at a previous visit that the crèche didn’t have enough educational toys, and was struggling to keep the children occupied. “It is sad that the crèche
was targeted so soon after we made an effort to make their lives a little better. The theft of the TV will also now effect the children’s education.” The crimes are under investigation.
Richfields weer voor hof ’n BOER en sy seun wat tereg staan op ’n aanklag van poging tot moord het gister weer in die Stellenbosch-landdroshof verskyn. Dit volg ná hulle ’n inwoner van Cloetesville, James Brand, wat hout op hul plaas bymekaargemaak het na bewering aangerand en byna verdrink het. Volgens lt. Natalie Martin, polisiewoordvoerder van Stellenbosch, het Brand (37) op 26 Junie om 11:50 hout versamel op Michael Richfield se plaas toe hy deur Michael genader is. “Die eienaar wou weet wat hy daar maak en hy het verduidelik dat hy hout kom soek het.” Volgens Brand het Richfield hom toe glo aangeval. Brand het toe gevra dat hulle eerder die polisie laat kom aangesien hy besef dat hy oortree het. Nóg twee mans, een na bewering Richfield se seun Leonard, en ’n bruin man, het op die toneel opgedaag en het Brand glo verder aangerand met ’n piksteel. “Hulle het hom toe in ’n dam op die plaas gegooi. Hy het sy bewussyn verloor en toe hy weer
bykom, het hy op die kant van die R44 gelê. Onbekende mense het toe verbygekom en die ambulans geskakel,” aldus Martin. Die man is na die Stellenboschhospitaal gebring en behandel vir ’n gebreekte been en verskeie kneusplekke. Michael (68) en Leonard (43) Richfield is in hegtenis geneem op ’n aanklag van poging tot moord. Die mans se borgtog van R1 000 elk is Donderdag verleng en die saak is tot 13 September vir verdere ondersoek uitgestel.

MUNICIPALITY ANSWERS
Safety in the lap of luxury SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG
T
HE five Kayamandi councillors whose lives were threatened by protesters spent a night in five-star accommodationforsafetybecausethere were no other options, a Law Enforcement official has said. This comes after the Stellenbosch Municipality councillors’ houses were stoned by protesters on Monday evening, 23 July. Eikestadnuus reported about two weeks ago that the protesters had gathered before the home of ANC Ward 12 councillor Nokuthula Gugushe, and threw stones at it. The group then advanced on to the homes of fellow ANC councillors Phelisa Sitshoti, Lindela Ronoti and Nomthunzi Gcaza. ANC councillor Lizzie Siwakamisa and her spouse had been similarly threatened by this group. The Stellenbosch town council then stepped in, took the beleaguered councillors from their homes, and provided them with safe accommodation.
In terms of council’s policy on the protection of councillors, the municipal manager may provide temporary accommodation should the life of a councillor and or his or her family be placed under threat. The affected councillors stayed in the five-star Evergreen Guest House for the first night, after which they and their immediate families were moved to the cheaper Stellenbosch Protea Hotel in Techno Park. Eikestadnuus readers enquired last week as to why taxpayers’ money had been used for five-star accommodation. Neville Langenhoven, acting manager for Law Enforcement, told Eikestadnuus that the administration had been unaware that the Evergreen Guest House was listed as five-star accommodation. According to him, the “situation necessitated immediate accommodation”, and the normal procurement process would have been impractical at that stage. “Securing accommodation that night proved to be diffi-
cult, seeing that most places were either fully booked or not open to book accommodation. “The first place was fully booked, after which the administration went on to the second available place, which was prepared to accommodate the councillors.” Langenhoven said that the situation was assessed the following day, but it could yet not be determined whether the councillors’ lives were still at risk as the police were still investigating the matter. “In the absence thereof it was decided that the affected councillors should be provided with further alternative accommodation,” he said. “They were then accommodated at the Stellenbosch Protea Hotel with their immediate families, until the unrest normalised. “It was a much cheaper option,” he added. According to Langenhoven, the cost for the alternative accommodation was covered by council’s travel and subsistence budget for councillors.
Lasbeheereenhede nou reg geïnstalleer SAMANTHA VAN DEN BERG SOWAT 10% van Stellenboschhuishoudings wat ingesluit is by die huishoudelike lasbeheerprojek (HLB), se beheereenhede moet oor installeer word. Dit kom ná klagtes uit woongebiede soos Onder-Papegaaiberg dat dié beheereenhede, wat warmwatersilinders in piektye afskakel, nie werk nie. Die HLB-projek, ’n nasionale projek, is in Maart vanjaar in Stellenbosch van stapel gestuur en poog om die aanvraag na elektrisiteit te verminder. Dit is ’n inisiatief van Eskom en behels die gratis installering van ’n beheereenheid in sowat 10 500 Stellenbosse huise. Dié eenheid skakel die geiser tussen 18:00 en 20:00 saans af.
Volgens Vernon Bowers, woordvoerdervan Stellenbosch-munisipaliteit, is beheereenhede in die verlede met groot vrug geïnstalleer, omdat lasskuiwing deur munisipaliteite gedoen is. Met die groot bewusmakingsveldtogte sedert 2005 skakel inwoners nou self hul warmwatersilinders af en veroorsaak dit dat die beheereenhede ook nou outomaties afgeskakel word. Volgens Bowers word dit die driedraad-metode genoem. “Die Western Cape Approved Electrical Installation Authority het toe ’n vierdraad-metode vir die installering van die beheereenhede goedgekeur. Beheereenhede sal nou deurlopend van elektrisiteit voorsien word al word die warmwatersilinder deur die inwoner af-
geskakel,” verduidelik hy. Bowers voeg by dat Powertech IST, die installeringsmaatskappy, nou weer 10% van die huise in die projek besoek om die beheereenhede volgens die vierdraad-metode te installeer. Die woongebiede sluit Onder-Papegaaiberg, Cabernet Oude Libertas 6, Liberté Oude Libertas 4, Welgevonden en Paradyskloof in. Kwaliteitinspeksies sal ook gedoen word. Beheereenhede moet nog in Bosman’s Crossing, Die Boord, Dalsig, Lieberheim, Mostertsdrift, Uniepark, Rozendal, Aanhouwen, Karindal, Simonswyk, Universiteitsoord en in die middedorp geïnstalleer word. Bel die HLB-projekkantoor by 083 228 0268 oor enige probleme.

STELLEMPLOY TRAINING
Bright young chefs trained
S
TELLEMPLOY’s first group of students in food preparation and cooking have completed their 12-month certificate course. Five of the 10 students who qualified for the final City & Guilds international examination passed with distinction, while the other five passed with merit. Chef Léta du Toit October presented the course. What makes this achievement even more exceptional is that some of these students previously couldn’t even pass matric due to their social and economic situations. Now four people out of this group of 10 have already found employment. The students in this course were selected from a group of students from developing communities who’d taken part in short cooking courses that Stellemploy has been presenting over the last two years. During these short courses, it became clear that some of these students had the potential to become fully qualified chefs. Stellemploy used donor funds to first expose these students to basic cooking and knife skills,

and in the process improve their confidence. Being aware of the students’ potential, Stellemploy considered it an important, new challenge to run a pilot project in the community for training professional chefs. The Institute of Culinary Arts indicated it was willing to assist with the implementation of City & Guilds certificate programme. The Swiss–South African Cooperation Initiative and Distell
provided the funding. The course included theory and practical classes, as well as an internship at the Apprentice Restaurant. The students were also exposed to additional learning experiences at venues such as the Cape Wine Academy, where they learned how to pair food and wine. Three of the students also entered the Galliova Student Food Writer’s competition, where each of them received awards.

Heritage day treasure hunt for primary schools ALL pupils in Grades 5 to 7 from schools in Stellenbosch and surrounds are invited to take part in an educational heritage treasure hunt on Monday 24 September. The treasure hunt will form part of the annual Heritage Day celebrations. The aim of the exercise is to teach pupils an appreciation for their cultural heritage – not only for what has been created by humans, but also for natural heritage such as water and plants, says Laurika Schneeberger, Stellenbosch Voortrekkers chief organiser. The pupils can represent a school, church or any other organisation of their choice. Groups must be made up of four to five pupils each.
Each group will receive a team passport, which will supply them with clues on how to discover nine treasures in the historic part of Stellenbosch. The Stellenbosch Heritage Day Festival will be concentrated mostly on the banks of the Eerste River, in the region of Die Laan, this year. It will include a half marathon, fun cycle ride, canoe race, river tube races, live music, braai sites, stalls and a mass choir. The treasure hunt will start at 09:00 at the Ou Landbousaal in Die Laan. The entrance fee is R10 per pupil. Call Laurika Schneeberger on 078 248 0725, send a mail to aeslaurika@iafrica.com or see www.heritagefestival.co.za.
Fun race on Papegaaiberg THE Vuya Endaweni Community Conservation Partnership invites schools and community groups to participate in its
“Amazing Race” on Papegaaiberg on 22 September from 08:30 until 11:30. Entrance is R100 per school. Teams

Swem US, swem! DIE gewag is verby. Stellenbosch gaan uiteindelik sy eie Olimpiese standaard 50m-swembad kry. Dit is natuurlik meer as net goeie nuus vir die Universiteit Stellenbosch op wie se eiendom die veelbesproke swembad gaan wees. Die hele dorp gaan hieruit voordeel trek. Stellenbosch is reeds ’n dorp waarheen verskeie internasionale en nasionale atlete kom vir hul voorseisoen voorbereiding. Daar is egter nog talle meer wat sou wou kom, maar die afwesigheid van ’n goeie gehalte swembad het hulle gedwing om eerder na lande soos Australië of Spanje te gaan. Daar is verskeie internasionale swemspanne wat nou ook in Stellenbosch sal kom oefen, om nie eens te praat van die internasionale multisport-atlete nie. Ofskoon dit natuurlik wonderlik is as oorsese sportmanne en vroue Stellenbosch hul tweede tuiste maak, moet die eerste prys sekerlik wees as nasionale helde dié Bolandse juweel hul eerste tuiste kan maak. Dink aan manne soos Chad Le Clos en Cameron van den Burgh, wat ná die Olimpiese Spele die name op almal se lippe is. Maties-swemafrigter Pierre de Roubaix glo as dié veelbesproke swembad-projek reg bestuur en aangewend word, sal dit nie sy gelyke in die land hê nie. Dan kan dit sekerlik nie te vergesog wees om te dink dat Cameron en Chad hulle hier in die gunsteling bestemming vir sportmanne en vroue sal kom vestig nie.
The security van was snapped near Rhenish Girls’ High.
Sidewalk sneak WHEN does being in a hurry allow you to break the rules? The driver in the photo was apparently in too much of a hurry to sit in traffic on Friday 3 August, and decided to drive onto the pavement and use the pedestrian and cycling path alongside Rhenish Girls’ High. He almost came a cropper at Rhenish Primary School, as there are wooden posts across the path. No problem for the G4S driver, who drove across the grass and down onto the zebra crossing. Mission accomplished for him, and never mind any cyclists or pedestrians! All this took place at close on 14:40, when pupils from Rhenish Primary and Laerskool Eikestad

OLIMPIESE SPELE
E’nuusredaksie se hoogtepunte EIKESTADNUUS se redaksie het die 2012 Olimpiese Spele in Londen terdeë geniet. Hier is van ons hoogtepunte van die grootste skouspel in sport. Eunice Visagie: “Oomblikke ná die halfeindronde van die 400 m vir mans toe die wê reldkampioen (uiteindelike Olimpiese kampi oen) Kirani James van Grenada na SuidAfrika se Oscar Pistorius gestap het en hom gevra het om sy nommer (waar mee hulle gehard loop het) uit te ruil. Ek het ’n traan weggepink, want dit is waaroor die Olimpiese Spele vir my gaan. Oom blikke soos daai. Chad Le Clos se goud in die 200 mvlinderslag en sy trane met die sing van die Volkslied sal ek ook vir altyd onthou. En dan is daar min dinge so mooi soos Usain Bolt op volle vaart!”
Oor PRGrugby Ek verwys graag na verlede week se brief “Wat het van PRG se rugbytrots geword?” in Eikestadnuus. Eerstens stem ek heelhartig saam met sy skrywe in sy geheel. Dit wil my regtig voorkom – by verskeie geleenthede vanjaar het ek dit opgemerk – dat PRG se eerste rugbyspan se dissipline by die venster uit is. Is dit dalk ’n nuwe kultuur? Voorts moet ek ook opmerk dat daar twee spelers in die WP Cravenweekspan is wat nie eers gereeld vir PRG se eerstespan speel nie. Een speel sommer ook vir SA-skole. Die rugby-publiek vra vrae hieromtrent. Die verduideliking hiervoor sal interessant wees om aan te hoor. RUGBYENTOESIAS Stellenbosch Mnr. Jannie van der Westhuizen, Rektor van Paul Roos Gimnasium, het as volg reageer: Paul Roos Gimnasium verkies om nie by enige media-debatte van hierdie aard betrokke te raak nie. Die skool het ’n trotse rugbykultuur. Elke Paul Roos-ondersteuner kan weet dat dit altyd met erns en verantwoordelikheid gekoester sal word.”
Samantha van den Berg: “Beslis Suid Afrika se viertalroeiers wat goud in die liggewigafdeling gewen het. Ek dink nie my hart het al ooit so vinnig geklop toe Matthew Brittain, Sizwe Ndlovu, John Smith en James Thomp son, wat teen die halfpadmerk nog in die vierde plek was, Brittanje verby gesteek het om die goud te wen nie. Chad Le Clos se goud in die 200 mvlinderslag en Caster Semenya se silwer in die 800 m vir vroue was ook hoogtepunte. Caster was nog altyd vir my ’n voorbeeld van iemand wat ten spyte van alles haar kop oplig en haar beste gee.” Elbé van Heerden: “Iets wat ek nie sommer sal vergeet nie was die BBC se onderhoud met Chad Le Clos se pa, Bert, nadat Chad goud gewen het in die 200 mvlinder slag en in die proses netnet vir Mi chael Phelps geklop het. Hy was so ongelooflik trots op sy seun en kon nie uitgepraat raak oor hoe goed hy gedoen het nie.” Vir dié wat nog nie die onderhoud gesien het nie, besoek www.eikestad nuus.co.za. Foto’s: Verskaf
Thanks for nothing DEAR owner with the black Toyota (registration CL 28630): You can run across a parking lot. I cannot. You can handle an umbrella and your box of expensive coffees. I can’t, because one of my hands is taken up with my walking stick. You could take your time ordering your drinks, and fooling around with your friends in your car afterwards. I can’t, because I have limited time to stand. Tonight (Tuesday, in the rain, at the Pick n Pay garage on Merriman), you gave me an extra dose of painkillers, an extra uncomfortable drive home, and a bad case of the shakes, because you were too thoughtless to find an ordinary parking space. That extra five minutes it took for me to walk to the shop – yes, I am slow, a consequence of being mobility-impaired – caused me
extra pain, shaking, aggravation, and expense, because I’ll be using up my prescription that much quicker. I have lost a night’s grace – maybe I’ll have another bad night before payday, when I can refill my meds – to your urgent craving for someone else to make you coffee. I’m only grateful that I don’t yet need a wheelchair, because then I would have had to go home without my emergency groceries. The disabled parking is extra wide to allow wheelchair users to retrieve, unfold and repack their equipment. In a few years, I will not have that luxury. I hope I will not be sharing a town, and a parking lot, with you then. My thanks to the management who apologised for your rude behaviour. DISABLED SHOPPER

AFRIKAANS, ENGELS, XHOSA
Nuwe wynwoordeboek STEPHANIE NIEUWOUDT
“H
AASBEKWINGERD”, “wyndief” en “engeleporsie”. Hierdie is maar net drie van die lieflike Afrikaanse woorde wat in die nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse Drietalige Wynbedryfwoordeboek opgeneem is. Die eerste deel van die woordeboek, saamgestel in Afrikaans, isiXhosa en Engels, is nou aanlyn beskikbaar. Dit is ’n inisiatief van Winetech, wat navorsing in die wynbedryf koördineer, en Sawis (SA Wynbedryfinligting en -stelsels), wat wyne sertifiseer. Volgens dr. Michele van der Merwe, verbonde aan Universiteit Stellenbosch (US), en die projekleier vir die samestelling van die woordeboek, het die laaste wynwoordeboek in Suid-Afrika in 1973 verskyn. “Daar is intussen baie navorsing gedoen en die kennis van die wynbedryf en verwante velde het geweldig uitgebrei. “Daar was ’n groot behoefte aan ’n nuwe woordeboek,” sê sy. Verskeie US-akademici uit verskillende akademiese dissiplines het Van der Merwe met die same-

stelling bygestaan. “Ons woon in ’n veeltalige land waar al meer isiXhosa-sprekendes in die Wes-Kaap by die wynbedryf betrokke raak. Daar was geen wynterme in isiXhosa nie en hopelik vul die woordeboek dié leemte,” verduidelik sy. Van der Merwe is ’n opgeleide leksikograaf en het vir ’n ruk lank in Spanje navorsing gedoen oor
die samestelling van vakwoordeboeke. Dié woordeboek bevat tans ’n woordeskat van 3 500 woorde in al drie tale, maar die verklaring van die woorde is nog net in Engels. Met ’n volgende fase sal die verklaring ook in Afrikaans en isiXhosa beskikbaar gestel word. Die woordeboek word ook in onderwerpvelde verdeel, sodat die gebruiker dadelik weet of hy/ sy met terminologie uit wynkunde of wingerdkunde te make het. Volgens Van der Merwe is die woordeboek belangrik vir die opleiding van studente en ander wat in die bedryf werk. “Iemand wat opleiding bied in byvoorbeeld wingerdkunde, het nie noodwendig die nodige taalkennis nie. “Die woordeboek is ’n instrument wat gratis op die Internet beskikbaar is. “Ek wil graag hê dit moet so wyd moontlik gebruik word – nie net deur navorsers en studente nie – maar ook deur mense wat eenvoudig net lief is vir wyn.” Vir meer inligting of om die eerste deel van die nuwe drietalige Wynbedryfwoordeboek aanlyn te lees besoek die webwerf by www.sawis.co.za/dictionary.

EXCITING TALENT
Youth Music Festival at Artscape THE 41st annual Youth Music Festival for classical music instrumentalists and singers will be held this Saturday (18 August) at 19:30 at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town. This is a celebration of young musical talent from the Western Cape, in concert with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Arjan Tien. The 15 young musicians taking part were selected from over 50 participants in auditions. They are considered to be among the finest of the Western Cape’s young up-and-coming classical music talent. Ranging age from 14 to 26 years, they are, in programme order: Tatiana Thaele (22, flute), Jeffrey Armstrong (15, violin), Lize van der Merwe (16, soprano sax), Noluvuyiso Mpofu (21, soprano), Levy Sekgapane (21, tenor), Victoria Stevens (21, soprano), Carla van der Merwe (21, clarinet), Jane Yu (22, piano), Henley Jun (14, piano), Jessie Brand (15, violin), Nomsa Mpofu (21, soprano), Siyabulela Ntlale (26, baritone), Janel Speelman (24, soprano), Nkosana Soko (19, flute) and Roelof Temmingh (15, piano). Representing the adjudicating panel are Alastair Cockburn
Clockwise, from left: Jessie Brand, Carla van der Merwe and Henly Jun, who will perform at the festival, are from Stellenbosch.
(Artscape), Ronnie Samaai (member of the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra’s board of directors) and Aviva Pelham (opera star and director). The main criteria for candidates are that they be music students, perform at a very high standard, and live or study in the Western Cape. The age restriction for participants is 10 to 23 years for instrumentalists and
up to the age of 27 for singers. Cockburn said this year’s programme includes a somewhat different repertoire – “Several of our young participants are performing a very attractive, appealing, engaging, but less-often performed repertoire – and also at least one new work, possibly never performed before in South Africa: a saxophone concerto by Villa-Lobos.”
The musical festival is sold out every year, so it’s best to book immediately to avoid disappointment. Tickets cost R80 (pensioners and students pay R40 with valid ID, pupils 5 to 18 years pay R40, and block bookings of 10 or more get a 10% discount). Book through Artscape Dial-a-Seat on 021 421 7695, Computicket, Shoprite and Checkers outlets, or at www.computicket.com.

TEDX STELLENBOSCH
Answers for Africa ZOË MAHOPO
A
LAN Knott-Craig believes that the right to remain anonymous is integral to people’s freedom. Knott-Craig, who is the CEO of Africa’s biggest social network – Mxit – spoke at the third Technology, Entertainment and Design (TEDx) Stellenbosch conference, held on Friday at Spier. “I used to think that anonymity was for criminals – until I bought Mxit.” He said he was confronted with the question after having observed how the Cape Flats community used Mxit to communicate. Knott-Craig said he realised that the anonymity offered by social media helped people to access drug counselling services, extra maths tuition and relationships without fear of being judged by the community. The theme of this year’s confer-
ence was “What if Africa?” The aim was to get innovative thinkers around the country to talk about African solutions for global problems. Other speakers included cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro), adventurer Patricia Glyn and author Mmatshilo Motsei. Motsei, addressing the question, “What if Africa could remember its true greatness?” moved the audience to a standing ovation. She said she had initially wanted to ask, “What if Africa could colonise the world? “Because I decided that I didn’t want to remain a stubborn, wrinkled old woman who’s forever complaining about the dark continent. I decided to change.” Environmental activist Jonathan Deal said he would unashamedly borrow from Motsei’s words and ask, “What if Africa could colonise the world?” Deal spoke on the environmen-
tal dangers of fracking in the Karoo. Fracking involves the use of explosives, toxic chemicals and drilling one to five kilometres below the earth’s surface to extract natural gas. Deal urged Africans to work hard at finding safer fuel alternatives, and to stop taking their lead from the West. TEDx Stellenbosch commenced with a number of musical performances and a talk by Zapiro, who kept the audience laughing with his impersonation of Nelson Mandela. Organiser Gareth Pearson said the keyword for the day was “inspiration”. “People walked away with a lot to think about.” He said it would be ideal to have more Stellenbosch students participate in organising next year’s TEDx.

GENDER-STUDIES
Gouws kry wyd erkenning
P
ROF. Amanda Gouws, van die departement politieke wetenskap aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US), is een van nege kommissarisse wat president Jacob Zuma onlangs in die Kommissie vir Geslagsgelykheid (KGG) aangestel het. Slegs sowat ’n maand ná dié aanstelling het dié hoogleraar in genderpolitiek, Suid-Afrikaanse politiek en politiese gedrag, nóg ’n prestasie om te vier. By die 22ste wêreldkongres van die Internasionale Vereniging vir Politieke Wetenskap (IPSA) het sy die Wilma Rule-toekenning vir die beste referaat in die kategorie “Gender en Politiek” gewen. Dié kongres is van 6 tot 12 Julie in Madrid, Spanje, gehou. Gouws se wenreferaat het oor multikulturalisme in Suid-Afrika en die oënskynlike teenstelling tussen universele menseregte en kultuur/tradisie gehandel. Die prys word sedert 2000
toegeken om navorsing op die gebied van gender en politiek aan te moedig. Gouws sê: “Ek was sprakeloos, want ek het dit glad nie verwag nie. Tog is dit ’n groot eer. In sekere sin is dit ook ’n eer vir SuidAfrika. Dié referaat konsentreer op die probleme van ’n ontwikkelende land. Dis ’n pluimpie vir ons dat ’n organisasie soos IPSA die politieke uitdagings van ’n ontwikkelende land erken.” Oor haar aanstelling in die KGG sê sy: “Ek is opgewonde om saam met my mede-kommissarisse te werk. Hulle is almal bewus van die erns van geslagsdiskriminasie in Suid-Afrika en besef heelwat van die oplossings wat in die verlede aanbeveel is, werk nie en dat dit nou tyd is om na nuwe oplossings te soek.” Sy sê sy hoop ook om die openbare profiel van die kommissie gedurende haar ampstermyn te verhoog en te verbeter.

Klapmuts se watervrou wen 3de prys: LeeAnne Witbooi, ’n jare lange inwoner van Klapmuts,
het verlede Vrydag ’n derde plek in die nasionale Vroue in Watertoe kennings behaal. Eikestadnuus het verlede week oor dié besonderse vrou berig wat die afgelope vyf jaar ’n projek van haar huis af bedryf waar sy reënwater opvang. Dié water word dan óf as drinkwater óf in haar huis gebruik om onder meer kos te maak, skottelgoed te was, die toilet te spoel, klere te was en die tuin nat te lei. Sy verskaf selfs gratis water aan haar gemeenskap. LeeAnne is as finalis in die departement waterwese en bosbou se kompetisie aangewys, waarna sy by die toekenningsgeleentheid verlede Vrydag ’n derde plek in die kategorie “Opvoeding en Bewusmaking” behaal het. Baie geluk LeeAnne, Eikestadnuus is trots op jou! Foto: Samantha van den Berg

Higlights of the 2012 London Olympic Games
Geraldine Makaties:“The marathon for men was my highlight. The runner from Uganda showed such courage.”
Pierre de Rou baix, Maties Sport: “Cam eron van den Burgh’s gold medal was my highlight. Not only because he was the first South African man to receive an individual gold medal for swimming at the Olympics, but also because he thanked everyone – his coach, his physiotherapist, even his roommate – for their contribution towards winning the medal.” Tanya van Willingh: “Caster Se menya’s silver medal. She didn’t win, but made us all proud.”
Garth le Roux, Maties Sport: “There were many great mo ments, like see ing Michael Phelps become the most deco rated Olympian with 22 medals; the tears rolling down Chad Le Clos’s cheeks whilst singing the national an them upon receiving his gold medal, and Oscar Pistorius showing that any thing is possible if you put your mind to it. But the ultimate accolade should go to Usain Bolt, an icon and undoubt edly the best sprinter of all time.”
Droom binnekort werklikheid
N
Louis Nel, stu dent: “Usain Bolt’s victories in the sprints. It is a privilege to be able to see an athlete like that in action.”
Jenny King, Maties Sport: “My highlight was the SA team of four winning the gold medal in the rowing. The look on the boys’ faces when they turned and saw they had won gold was something I will never forget. I also enjoyed the syn chronised swimming and Kathrine Grainger’s gold in the rowing.”
SWEMBAD VIR US EUNICE VISAGIE
SOUTH Africa finished the 2012 London Olympic Games with six medals – three gold, two silver and one bronze. Eikestadnuus went to the streets and asked some locals to give their highlights of the games.
Bobby and Christine Behan: “From my perspective at Specialized, I’ve worked directly with three medallists,” said Bobby. “Jaroslav Kulhavy from Czech Republic won gold in the men’s moun tain biking and was here briefly in March. Javier Gomez (Spain) has spent significant blocks of training time here in Stellenbosch. Javier won silver in the men’s triathlon. Lisa Norden (Sweden) won silver in the women’s triathlon, in a nailbiting sprint finish when she and race winner Nicola Spirig finished in the same time!” Christine: “For me the highlight of our three gold medals was that of Chad le Clos. To beat Michael Phelps at the age of 20 is like a world record. The sportmanship between Le Clos and Phelps gave me goose bumps! There is nothing greater than a humble legend. Phelps deserves another gold just for that.” Garth Fredericks: “Usain Bolt, be cause he is the fastest and the most brilliant ath lete. And also Os car Pistorius. He’s an inspiration – if he can do it, any one can.”
Dan Hugo, multi sport athlete from Stellen bosch: “The mountain bike race was a high light – not just to watch Burry Stander do so well, but to see Specialized win on a dual suspen sion, by a Czech rider (Jaroslav Kul havy) who was signed by Bobby Be han, now a Stellenbosch resident. Al so on the support staff were Stellenbosch’s Dylan van der Merwe and Pieter Wehmeyer, who would have helped the victory in a major way. I was delighted for them all.”
Alcardo van Graan, Stel lenbosch’s Ajax Cape Town soccer player: “I really enjoyed the 100 m, 200 m and the 4by 100 m relay because I was a sprinter my self, but the performances by swimmers Chad le Clos and Cameron van den Burgh were my highlights because they showed the kind of talent we have in South Africa.” Photos: Supplied

Á bykans 13 jaar se gestoei kry die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) uiteindelik ’n olimpiese standaard 50m-swembad. Eikestadnuus het verlede week berig dat ’n weldoener die fondse aan die US geskenk het om die 50 m-swembad te bou. Die swembad by Coetzenburg staan sedert 2010 leeg. Die vreugde vure het hoog gebrand by Maties Sport by die aanhoor van dié nuus. Volgens Maties se swemafrigter en een van die vernaamste rolspelers in die stryd om die nuwe swembad, Pierre de Roubaix, gaan dié swembad Stellenbosch se trots wees.
“Die swembad gaan ons in ’n ander liga plaas. Indien dit volgens die huidige olimpiese standaarde gebou gaan word, gaan dit nie sy gelyke in Suid-Afrika hê nie,” het Roubaix opgewonde vertel. “Dit gaan die speelveld vir alle sporte en die US verander en dit gaan ’n invloed op die hele dorp hê.” Jackie Wiese, direkteur van Maties Sport, het op 4 Oktober 1999 die eerste keer ’n memorandum uitgestuur oor die moontlikheid van ’n 50 m-swembad. “Ek wil net baie dankie sê aan die weldoener. Ons het so lank gewag vir dié oomblik dat ek nou skaars kan wag vir die oomblik wanneer ons dit open. Dit sal beslis ’n ongelooflike gebeurtenis
wees,” het Wiese gesê. Volgens Wiese is die verwagting dat die swembad teen volgende Mei of Junie dalk kan klaar wees. Vir Wiese, wat al 32 jaar lank by Maties Sport (eers die Sportburo) betrokke is, is die realisering van dié droom ’n hoogtepunt. “Ek kan nou met ’n geruste hart eendag aftree. Mission accomplished.” Eikestadnuus het uit verskeie onafhanklike bronne verneem dat Remgro Beperk die “weldoener” is wat die nodige geld vir die swembad verskaf het. Die maatskappy se uitvoerende hoof, Jannie Durand, se reaksie op navraag was egter: “Geen kommentaar.”

STELLENBOSCH BO!
Vuurwarm Interskoleaksie EUNICE VISAGIE
S
TELLENBOSSERS kan uitsien na vuurwarm Interskole-aksie die komende naweek. Hoërskool Stellenbosch kom Saterdag op hul tuisveld vir die 29ste keer teen Hoërskool Montana van Worcester te staan. In Pniel pak die spanne van Hoërskool Kylemore en Groendal Sekondêre Skool mekaar vir die 15de keer. Die jare lange stryd tussen Paul Roos Gimnasium en Grey Kollege word vanjaar in Bloemfontein voortgesit. Die Interskole tussen Stellenbosch en Montana is gewoonlik ’n naelbyt-tradisie met die spanne wat in alle dissiplines goed teen mekaar opweeg. Die hokkie sal eerste aan die beurt wees met die meisies se wedstryd 08:30 en die seuns 09:40. Die eerste netbalspan sal 10:50 in aksie wees, met die rugbyspanne wat 12:30 op die veld draf. Vir meer besonderhede oor die program bel die skool by 021 887 3082 tot 14:00. ) Terwyl Kylemore die afgelope drie jaar elke keer die netbal gewen het, was dit Groendal wat op die rugbyveld baas was sedert 2009. Die afgelope twee jaar is die algehele titel as wenners egter tussen die twee skole gedeel en in 2009 was Kylemore die wenner. Die skaak, sokker en vlugbal is reeds gister beslis met die rugby en netbal wat môre plaasvind. Aksie begin reeds 10:00 by die Pniel-sportgronde. Die eerste netbalspanne speel 12:45, terwyl die eerste rugbyspanne 16:00 mekaar die stryd aansê. Vir meer besonderhede oor die program bel die skool by 021 885 1341. ) In Bloemfontein word die meeste van die sporte reeds vandag beslis, met die rugby wat môre aan die beurt is. Volgens die jongste ranglys vir die top-rugbyskole in die land bevind Grey hom in die vierde plek en die Stellenbossers is tans vyfde. Die twee skole het al 26 keer teen mekaar gespeel. Grey het 19 keer gewen en PRG sewe keer. Paul Roos se seges was in 2009, 2006, 2004, 1997, 1994, 1993 en 1991. Verlede jaar se stryd was ’n riller met Grey wat met ’n enkele punt gewen het (36–35). Vir meer besonderhede oor die geskiedenis van dié interskole besoek www.rugby15.co.za. Die hoofwedstryd is 15:10, maar dit word ongelukkig nie op TV uitgesaai nie.
