Koperdiewe teiken Fynbos Dienssentrum

Night of Horror:

Residents speak out after fire

‘n Brand het gistermiddag (Woensdag) groot skade in Vierde laan aangerig toe ‘n gerestoureerde en baie waardevolle Jaguar uit die dertigerjare onverwags in ‘n motorhuis aan die brand geslaan het. Die eienaar was glo oppad om die motor op ‘n sleepwa te laai. Toe die motor aangeskakel word, het dit egter aan die brand geslaan. Die nooddienste was gou op die toneel, maar die pragtige ou motor is geheel en al verwoes. Foto: Bremer Meyer

Night of Horror Jacques Myburgh BETTY’S BAY – A black wall of smoke engulfs the midnight sky and a scarlet wave of fire can be seen in the distance.

You swiftly gather your belongings, remembering the most important. Your wife, kids, family photos, documents and pets, and you load them in the car. The wind is turning and throwing the flames in a south easterly direction. The direction of your house is in. Your one dog escapes your grasp and heads into the shrubs and fynbos next to your yard. You call out his name but no reaction. You can feel the heat on your face, your eyes start to burn from the ash and you find it difficult to breath, the flames are crawling nearer and nearer…

This was the horrific image some households in Betty’s Bay had to face as they were evacuating their homes after a fire broke out last Wednesday night.

The fire apparently started

after 19:00 and swept through the western end of Betty’s Bay leading to two houses being razed to the ground and twenty houses damaged by the fire.

Firefighters from the Overstrand, Cape Winelands, Cape Town and Overberg worked through the night to contain the fire and by 07:30 on Thursday the scene was declared save and fire free.

As yet it is still unknown as to how the fire started.

Don John’s neighbour was one of the unfortunate people who lost their home because of the fire. According to John the house is his neighbour’s holiday home and he has not visited the house since the disaster. “We on the other hand, only had a burst window. I lost all the fynbos and indigenous plants I planted in the back garden like my Rooi Els trees.” John’s back garden and the surrounding area in Lakeside Drive is covered with in a pitch black blanket. “We’ve (continued on p 4)

Overstrand Herald (continued from p 2) just moved down from Durban and we’ve been through floods and now through fires, almost everything Mother Nature can throw at you. It was quite an ordeal. It was very unpleasant while the whole thing lasted and you were sitting out there for hours and hours, not knowing if your house was still standing.” When the flames started coming closer, John and one of his friends, had to gather their belongings and pets and drive out to Porter Drive. “As the flames approached, the firefighters chased us further out and I eventually ended up at Three Flavours, just short of Pringle Bay.” Mike Anderson and his family also left Betty’s Bay in the dead of night with a fire at their backs, not knowing if their home would still be standing when they returned the next morning. “I gathered my wife, children, pets and documents, in that order, and left my house at about 01:30 when everyone started to evacuate.” Anderson

24 Julie 2014 and his family went to Harold Porter Botanical Gardens where Jade Forester, gave them a place to stay. “Luckily my house was not affected by the fire”, says Anderson. His family stayed on at the botanical garden while he went back to their home at round five in the morning.

“It was dreadful to drive back there not knowing if you still had a home. I’d like to thank the courageous firefighters and volunteers for their sterling job on containing the fire and protecting us”, says Anderson.

Penny and Peter Davidson enjoyed sitting on their balcony overlooking the lush green fynbos fields. Now only a charred wasteland testifies to the nature that was once on their doorstep. The Davidsons decided to stay at their home and fight the fire themselves to prevent it from coming too close to their home. “Me, my husband and two guys from the neighbourhood watch, used buckets of water and the garden hose to extinguish the fire.

“Our neighbours’ garage door

According to her the wind started turning just before the flames reached her home. “We were very lucky, we just moved down to occupy our holiday home permanently.

I was thinking now we’ve lost our retirement home!”

The Herald received numerous messages of gratitude on social media and by email to thank the emergency services for their courageous efforts in battling with the fire throughout the night.

Vullistrok glo deur wind omgewaai BETTYSBAAI – Vyf mense is verlede Vrydagmiddag beseer na ‘n munisipale vullistrok op die hoek van Clarensrylaan en Porterweg glo deur die wind omgewaai is.

Die vragmotor is op sy sy aangetref toe die Herald by die toneel opgedaag het.

Omstanders beweer dat die voertuig deur sterk wind omgewaai is toe hy van Clarensrylaan af links wou draai in Porterweg in. Desmond Lakey, areabestuurder van die Overstrand munisipaliteit op Kleinmond kon nie bevestig of die wind wel die oorsaak was nie. “Daar is intussen ‘n interne ondersoek geloods.

Die ondersoek is standaard prosedure wat ook om versekeringsdoeleindes ingestel word. Ek kan wel bevestig dat al vyf insittendes van die vullistrok beserings van ‘n minder

ernstige graad opgedoen het, waaronder geskeurde ligamente en kniebeserings”, sê Lakey.

Koperdiewe teiken dienssentrum KLEINMOND – Koperdiewe was Maandag die oorsaak dat talle behoeftiges amper honger gely het.

Dié booswigte het die afgelope naweek op die NG kerksaal in Eerstelaan waarvandaan die Fynbos dienssentrum bedryf word, toegesak. Hulle het koperpype gesteel wat van die gasbottels op die erf na die kombuis loop, waar die gasstowe daagliks oortyd moet werk om baie monde te voer.

“Dit was vir ons ‘n groot skok toe ons by die werk aankom en kos wil begin maak en toe agterkom dit gaan nie moontlik wees nie”, sê Melanie Wiles, sentrumbestuurder van Fynbos.

“Ons maak oor die 70 borde kos waarvan 41 vir kinders is en is ook verantwoordelik vir die sopkombuis”. Fynbos moes intussen van gasstofies gebruik maak wat hulle tydens die wintermark gebruik het om die potte aan die kook te hou.

“Hulle het elke stukkie koper gevat wat hulle kon sien. Dis nou al die derde keer dat hulle ons teiken. Ek’s bevrees dat as ons dit weer gaan vervang, dit net weer gaan gebeur”, sê Wiles.

Melanie Wiles, sentrumbestuurder van Fynbos dienssentrum, staan by die gasbottels waarvan die koperpype gesteel is.

“Echo, our warrior - he will be sorely missed” KLEINMOND - The horse-riding community is in absolute shock after one of their most prized lead horses, Echo, was run over by a car Monday morning.

According to Sarah Milton, manager at the Equestrian Centre in Kleinmond, Echo was struck by a car near the Tjunction between Kleinmond and Hermanus. Milton says that the car was traveling from Kleinmond in Hermanus direction when Echo crossed the road. “After impact the car swerved and crossed the road and landed in the veld about 80-100 meters from the road.

“The gentleman (driver) was unharmed and was treated by medical personnel at the scene.”

According to Milton three of her horses, including Echo, broke out of their paddocks. She assumes they escaped through

a small hole in one of their fences that the fire department made to come and douse an electrical fire that occurred approximately two months ago.

The other two horses, Pedro and Genius, returned unharmed.

“Echo along with his owner Barry Vermeulen, made an awesome team working in our establishment as a lead horse and guide. Echo had such character and made sure all other horses stayed in line and behaved themselves”, says Milton. He was an amazingly honest and reliable horse, his untimely accident has left a big hole in our hearts and in the hearts of many.”

Milton says she lodged an appeal to the municipality to put up road signs to warn motorists about the wild and domesticated horses crossing the road in the area.

The Clothing Bank opening day: Empowering young mothers KLEINMOND - The Clothing Bank (TCB), a non-profit organisation aimed at upliftment and sharing business skills with unemployed mothers, is opening a branch at the Mthimkulu Village. They are in the process of recruiting suitable candidates for the two-year business and life skills training programme and are presenting an Open Day on Tuesday, 29 July at 09:30 at 102 Main Road.

The programme entails that major clothing retailers donat their excess stock to The Clothing Bank. The donated goods are then sold to the women in the programme for a fraction of the cost, which can be resold into their communities. The benefits are twofold: the women are able to earn an income while they also learn business skills, and also how to run a small retail trading operation.

“We ensure, through our threestage recruitment process, that

we recruit the right women who are self-motivated and are willing to put in the hard work needed on this journey towards financial and social independence. We are looking for unemployed South African mothers with children under the age of 18 and who have an aptitude for business to join us at our Open Day on Tuesday”, says Nicky Edwards, Enterprise Development Manager at The Clothing Bank. According to Tracey Gilmore, CEO of The Clothing Bank, TCB has trained over 500 women in the past four and a half years and these women have generated in excess of R1.6 million profit collectively.

They currently have branches in Observatory, Midrand and Paarl.

Kleinmond Streetwatch crime report The following is a summary of crime in Hangklip/Kleinmond compiled and supplied to the Herald by the by KSW. “During the past four weeks we have experienced an increase in the overall level of crime in Kleinmond, due mainly to an increase in the theft of copper and brassware which was particularly prevalent during the week ending 13 July.

However this past week has seen an easing off of crime in Kleinmond though properties south of Main Road continue to attract more criminal activity than the rest of Kleinmond.

Thieves of copper seem to have been operating with impunity and at this stage the only

suggestion put forward to avoid becoming a target for copper theft is that existing exposed copper piping be replaced by non-copper pipes and fittings.

The Police are doing what they can but without sufficient resources they seem to be incapable of dealing with the problem.

Residents are reminded of the necessity of having their alarm systems checked regularly because alarms at crime scenes – even though armed – have been found to be ineffective due to faulty sensors and reduced battery life. We have been advised to have our alarm systems checked every couple of years.

Consultation process on policing to start soon KLEINMOND - The Western Cape Minister of Community Safety, Dan Plato, has announced a Provincial Policing Needs and Priorities (PNP) consultation process, kicking off on 26 July 2014 in Worcester. The five month consultation process across the province aims to gather information from communities on their specific policing needs and priorities to be included in the PNP report which will be submitted to the National Minister of Police for his consideration, when determining where different policing resources are needed. It

is important that all communities use the consultation process as an opportunity to have their say on their safety concerns.

A meeting for the Hermanus Cluster under which Hangklip/ Kleinmond resorts has been scheduled for 22 August at the Moffat Hall in Mount Pleasant Hermanus at 10:00.

Editor: This is an important initiative and local residents should attend and make their grievances on crime and the shortage of police personnel known.

Nog ‘n koppie?

As berge skeur en rotse breek Die afgelope maand of twee raak die wêreld vir my ‘n skrikwekkende plek.

Die Israeli/ Palestynse situasie laat my keel toetrek. Dan laat die Maleisiese vliegtuig wat afgeskiet is, my maag op ‘n knop trek. Die hele Midde-Ooste is ‘n kruitvat wat wag om te ontplof.

Nigerië het meer as sy kwota geweld en dan hop-scotch dit oor die hele Afrika tot in die res wêreld waar dit soos bose swere uitbars.

Asof hier by ons te lande nie genoeg geweld is nie, het twee motorkapers hul weg oopgesien om ‘n kind te verniel en vermoor omdat hy nie vinnig genoeg na hul sin uit die voertuig gehaal kon word nie. Die gedagte daaraan slaan my stom.

En miskien is dit tyd dat ons stom raak. Almal is altyd so slim en elkeen het ‘n beter plan as die volgende of vorige een oor hoe om van boosheid ontslae te raak. Ons wil die boosheid “uitoorlê”. Ons wil hom ore aansit.

Die Bose, so lyk dit vir my, kom altyd met ‘n gedruis en ‘n geraas.

En die Bose is die meester van uitoorlê. Dit maak nie saak wat jy as “die bose” beskou nie, weet net, dis slimmer as jy. En mooier en luidrugtiger en blinker, sodat jy nie die donkerte daaragter raaksien nie. Daar is ook niks nuuts aan Boosheid nie.

In 1 Konings 19 is Elia moedeloos met al die boosheid en die moord en doodslag om hom. Hy loop die veld in en gaan lê onder die besembos om sommer net dood te gaan, want die ou spannetjie was besonder wreed en onaangenaam. Isebel en

Bladsy 12

Agab en hul kornuite het groot euwels gepleeg. Ek neem aan Elia wou weer vuur en swael op hulle neergedaal hê soos toe die Baälpriesters by geleentheid moes deurloop. Maar wie is ons, per slot van sake, om te kan besluit wie verdien om gestraf te word en dan, meer nog, hoé.

Kort na die besembos-episode, toe moes Elia kyk na wat die liewe Here sou kon laat gebeur indien Hy so wou. Eers waai ‘n sterk wind soos die gelyke waarvan ons mag dink ons ken, maar ons weet niks. Toe is daar ‘n aardbewing en toe is daar ‘n vuur. En die liewe Here wat die wind en die krag van die aardbewing en die vuur in Sy mag het, het dit nie aangewend soos Elia verwag het nie. Dit was in die gesuis van die sagte koelte waarna Elia moes luister.

Wat in die wêreld gebeur, gebeur in die wêreld. Ons kan raas en ons kan blaas, maar ons gaan aan wêreldgebeure nie veel kan doen, behalwe om dit te vererger nie. Ons kan net aan ons eie ervaring daarvan iets doen en stilte en vrede in onsself soek. Die liewe Here het nie ons voorstelle en plannetjies nodig nie. Hy het óns nie nodig nie. Diegene wat sê hulle ken Hom, moet net daarvolgens LEEF. Niemand hoef nie daaroor te praat of te raas nie. Dis wanneer mense al harder en skeller begin skree, dat niemand meer luister nie.

Dis dan dat mens nie meer meer die ruising kan hoor nie om reg te doen en liefde te betrag en ootmoedig te wandel met jou God .

To all the amazing fire fighters and volunteers who fought so tirelessly to protect us and our houses, we can’t thank you enough. How you managed to fight that enormous blaze and protect all those houses in that gale force wind still leaves me in awe. We were evacuated not knowing what our fate would be and if we would have a home to come back to. Thankfully we only sustained minor damage to our property and the evidence

was clear that you guys fought tooth and nail to protect all the properties in the path of the fire. I thank my lucky stars everyday that we have such an awesome response team protecting us and I can sleep a bit more soundly knowing what lengths you will go to to keep us safe. Thank you so very very much for doing such an incredible job, we certainly will be forever grateful!

‘n Engel het hier verby gegaan…

So halfeenkant, effe weggesteek tussen ruwe skerppunt rotse en digbegroeide Overbergse fynbos, staan ek vir baie jare al.

Dis my plekkie dié. Hier is ek tuis.

Sou my stem vir mensekinders hoorbaar wees, sou hulle van baie hartsgeheime waarin ek kon deel, kon kennis neem.

Ook van al die vermoeides en bedroefdes wat deur die jare hier by my, die bruin houtbankie, kom troos en lafenis soek het.

Hier by my, waar die reëlmatige geklots van water teen rotse, wat hemelwaarts reik, ook soms vrede en rus gebring het vir menige sielsmoeë reisiger wat die pad byster geraak het…

Maar ek sou ook kon vertel van vakansietye se vrolike kinderstemme en gelag en pret… ook die mooi jongmensdrome waarin ek kon deel. So was daar die twee niggies, Louise en Liesl, wat elke Desembervakansie saam met die hele familie van Johannesburg en Pretoria afgekom het om hier op Kleinmond te kom vakansie hou. Ek onthou al die gelukkige tye wat hulle hier by my deurgebring het. Met hul fietse het hulle soms hier stilgehou met mandjies vol eetgoed – ‘n verrassingsontbyt vir Ouma en Oupa of hulle ouers.

Ongelukkig het een van daardie vrolike laggies ‘n paar jaar later stil geword. Liesl het baie siek geword en op ‘n dag het haar familie almal hier na my toe gekom. Dit was ‘n hartseerdag.

Liesl se pappa en mamma en sussie het teen die rotse afgeklim tot onder by die water.

Saam het hulle ‘n bos rose een vir een in die getypoel hieronder my gestrooi.

Die water het gekom en weer gegaan. So het die rose ook gekom en gegaan soos hulle dit soms hier by my kom neersit het.

Ek sou nie weer daardie vrolike laggie hoor nie, maar ek kon nog elke dag so naby aan Liesl voel…Die koper naamplaatjie ter herinnering aan haar lewe stewig aan my vasgemaak. Ek kon haar nie vergeet nie.

Tot een donker nag, ‘n paar maande gelede. Dit was ‘n droewige nag. Dit het gevoel of die bose magte van die duisternis op my toegesak het.

Dit was angswekkend. Ek is geruk en gepluk, gestamp en geskop. Uit my stewige voetstuk losgebreek. En asof dit nie genoeg was nie, is die lelikste woorde in groot rooi en swart letters dwarsoor my gekrap. By aanskoue van die afskuwelike dade, het iemand dalk skaam

Overstrand Herald

24 Julie 2014

Briewe of jammer gevoel, want op een plekkie waar nog nie gekrap is nie, is ‘n mooi hartjie geteken en binne-in die woorde :”Sorry Liesl, we love you.”

Vir Liesl se familie was dit ‘n groot skok om my so verniel en gebreek te sien. Die kosbare naamplaatjie was weg. Die familie kon nie glo wat hulle sien nie.Kon iemand se hart so hard wees…?

Hulle het gewonder en gedink wat hulle kon doen. Moes hulle iewers ‘n nuwe bankie kry? Dit sou net nie weer dieselfde wees nie. Die nuwe bankie sou nie dieselfde herinneringe hê nie.

Terwyl hulle nog besig was met beplanning en onderhandelinge met die munisipaliteit, gebeur die wonderlikste ding. ‘n Engel het hierverbygegaan. ‘n Onbekende weldoener het my jammer gekry. Met baie liefde, omgee en deernis is ek heelgemaak – weer nuut gemaak en Liesl se oorspronlike herinneringsplaatjie is weer veilig op sy plekkie, styf teen my lyf vasgemaak.

Hoe groot was die verbasing en vreugde toe Liesl se ouers op

Opstandingsmôre by my kom.

Vir ‘n tweede keer kon hulle nie glo wat hulle sien nie. In plaas van ‘n stukkende voetstuk en gebreekte los planke, staan ek kiertsregop,uitgedos in my mooi, blink, nuutgeverfde gewaad – elke stukkie op sy plek. Wat ‘n vreugdevolle Paassondag was dit nie!

Die SMS-boodskap wat Liesl se mamma dadelik vir die res van die familie gestuur het, het die verwondering en opregte dankbaarheid van almal se harte verwoord : “God het ‘n mens gebruik om weereens vir ons te wys hoe lief Hy ons het.”

Hier het waarlik ‘n Engel verby gegaan. Liesl se familie sou baie graag die mense – engel - wou ontmoet.

Kontakno: 0827708662 of 0823753842 / Landlyn: 021 8517464 (Die jong Liesl Moller is ‘n paar jaar gelede kort voor haar 17de verjaardag aan komplikasies as gevolg van sistiese fibrose oorlede. Haar as is by die bankie gestrooi. Die gesin was en is gereelde besoekers aan die dorp)

Wat van ‘n vierrigting?

Na aanleiding van die hoeveelste ongeluksberig waarby dié keer ‘n motorfiets by betrokke was, wil ek ‘n opmerking maak oor die ontoereikende toegang wat motoriste, besighede en inwoners tot die Hoofweg ervaar.

Dit is ‘n gevaarlike toestand van sake. Terwyl motoriste in die laer dele van Kleinmond in die laerskool se omgewing ‘n hele paar vierrigtingstoppe tot hul beskikking het, sodat mense en verkeer veilig kan aansluit by verkeer in die Hoofweg, kan dieselfde nie gesê word van van die res van Hoofweg nie.

Die laaste vierrigting stop is by Sesdestraat en vandaar Bettysbaai toe kan motoriste maar teen 60km.p/u voortsnel sonder

dat mense vanuit systrate veilig die pad kan kruis of by die verkeer aansluit.

Daar is gereeld ongelukke in die omgewing van Haweweg en by Dertiendestraat vanuit die Robert Kaplan nywerheidsgebied en die munisipale werkewerf.

Die verkeer om en by hierdie deel van die dorp benodig dringend veiliger toegang. Wat van inwoners van die informele woongebied; of vissers met bote, groot getalle kinders wat by die skole moet kom? Die enigste oorgang vir voetgangers is by Meat Palace - motoriste moet maar ‘n kans waag wanneer die Hoofweg min of meer sonder verkeer sou wees.

Vervolgingsgesag oor Ross-moord KLEINMOND – Die Herald het betroubaar verneem dat ‘n senior advokaat van die Nasionale vervolgingsgesag onlangs vergader het met die seun en dogter van die hoofverdagte in die Rossmoordsaak. Christa Ross is bykans twee jaar gelede in haar gastehuis in Heuningkloof vermoor. ‘n Middeljarige man is verlede jaar deur ‘n provinsiale ondersoekspan op Kleinmond in hegtenis geneem.

Hy is, sonder om in die hof te verskyn, vrygelaat na die senior staatsaanklaer op Caledon die

saak na die DOV ( Direktoraat van Openbare Vervolging) terugverwys het. Sedertdien is die getuienis in die saak weer onder die loep geneem. Die Herald verstaan dat die senior advokaat wat uiteindelik sal moet besluit of die verdagte vervolg gaan word as deel van hierdie proses verlede week vergader het met die seun en dogter van die verdagte.

Die verdagte in die saak se identiteit mag nie bekend gemaak word nie, aangesien hy nog nie in die hof verskyn het nie.

Burgemeester Nicolette Botha-Guthrie deel serpe en handskoene uit by Kleinmond Primêr. Dit was deel van die Overstrand Munisipaliteit se Mandeladagvieringe. Op hierdie manier word na die kinders omgesien om die koue wintersoggende bietjie te verlig.

Potjiekos ‘n Gereelde rubriek oor aktuele sake deur Fanie Krige Fanie Krige van Solid Stuff Media Agency is ‘n bedrewe potjiekosmaker wat al in die politieke kookkuns by ‘n kollege klasgegee en ook jare se ondervinding in munisipale kombuise het. Hy glo dat met ‘n bietjie speserye en kruie en genoeg tyd kan jy iets van benerige vleis en moerige aartappels maak. Peper hom gerus met vrae by redakteur@ overstrandherald.co.za. Ons stuur dit aan.

Die private aard van kultuurlewe Iets wat ek nou weer agtergekom het is dat die kultuurlewe van ‘n gemeenskap nie vir die vreemdeling opsigtelik is nie.

Na twee weke in Australië kan ek nie regtig sê wat ‘n ware Australiër doen wanneer hy tussen sy eie mense is nie. Ek weet nie of hulle stories vertel, musiek maak, wyn drink of terug verlang na die goeie ou dae nie… ‘n Mens moet as’t ware binnegenooi word as jy wil agterkom wat ‘n gemeenskap laat tiek. Moet jou net nie op die massa-media verlaat in jou poging om die hart van ‘n gemeenskap te vind nie.

Veral in Suid-Afrika laat die koerante, radiostasies, televisiestasies en die internet jou glo dat daar nie goeie ou dae was nie. Ek het nogal nuus vir die jong mense wat vandag in beheer van die media is: In die sewentigs was daar goeie tye al was daar gespanne verhoudinge tussen rassegroepe en “ag man, dit was (selfs) lekker in die army”! As julle my nie glo nie, dan moet julle na die musiek van daardie tyd luister. ‘n Vriend vertel my dat kultuur met die speen ingeneem word, met moedersmelk. Dit is seker hoekom dit so privaat is!

Wetenskaplikes bevestig dit is moeilik om te bepaal wat

kultuur is. In akademiese taal sal hulle vir jou sê kultuur bestaan op ‘n onbewustelike vlak en neig om so omvattend te wees dat ‘n mens eintlik nie daaraan aandag gee nie. Dit vorm die grondslag van jou bestaan, maar jy besef dit nie. Dit is soos asemhaling, jy weet nie eens jy doen dit nie, maar jy kan nie daarsonder nie.

Inteenstelling met Australië was ek skaars terug in Suid-Afrika toe sit ek in die Klipkerk op Heidelberg (Gauteng) en word meegevoer deur twee soprane, ‘n alt, drie kore, orrelspel, fluitspelers, viole en selfs ‘n harp. Solaas (vertroosting) vir die Siel, dit is wat die geleentheid genoem is en dit is wat dit was.

Die volgende aand, steeds op Heidelberg, Gauteng, dié keer in die Suikerbosranddienssentrumsaal, was dit die eindronde van die plaaslike ATKV-tak se vasvrakompetisie.

Die arme vraesteller, wie se bronne glo bedenklik is, moes sterk staan teen spanne wat uit Dopper-prokureurs en ander slim mense bestaan. My suster se span, die VLU, het weer gemeen die drukknoppiestelsel het hulle benadeel want in die snelvuurafdeling het hul liggie net nooit geskyn nie. Meer pret as enige televisieprogram en boonop is heerlike sop en

broodjies by die prys ingesluit.

Minder as ‘n week later geniet ek in die Kleinmondse NG Kerksaal die Con Spirito-koor se hemelse sang, ondersteun deur ‘n wye reeks van instrumente, wat ‘n konsertina en trompet ingesluit het, maar veral met uitmuntende klavierbegeleiding en strykers van viole en ‘n kontrabas. Oor die gehalte van die konsert het daar reeds gloeiende resensies verskyn, maar weer eens sou ‘n mens nie veel vreemdelinge in die gehoor opgemerk het nie.

Ja, kultuur is vir die betrokke groep ‘n private ding!

Almal is nie met hoër vlak talente bedeel nie, maar vir elkeen is daar ‘n rol: party maak toesprake, ander prikkel die lagkliere, sommige kap dit op die dansvloer uit en die meeste van ons sing saam, al is dit vals!

Soos verlede Vrydagaand toe die Bettysbaai-Mannegroep in The Plate afskeid geneem het van Mervin en Dawn Burger, trappers van diep spore in die kultuurlewe van die Hangklipstreek, ook in sekere kringe bekend as die Buitewyke!

Meeste groot plattelandse gemeentes het hul Buitewyke.

By die afskeid vertel iemand die storie van ‘n predikant wat by ‘n verafgeleë boeresaaltjie in die Bosveld nagmaal moes gaan bedien. Daar gekom, verneem hy toe dat al die reëlings in plek is, behalwe dat die organiseerders die nagmaalwyn vergeet het.

Na ‘n geskarrel word daar besluit om gebruik te maak van verskeie bottels mampoer wat toevallig in party boere se bakkies was. Die Nagmaalbeker was klaarblyklik nog nie eens by die tweede ry af nie, toe steek mense in die voorste ry al hande op om aan te dui dat hulle “per abuis” oorgeslaan is.

Natuurlik sou daar nooit so-iets gebeur het nie in die Crassulasaal, waar die Buitewyke hul byeenkomste gehou het, want Gawie le Roux, wat tans ernstig siek en in die Vergelegen Mediclinic opgeneem is, was ‘n bekwame administrateur. Ons moes net party Sondagoggende voor kerk sukkel om die vorige aand se partytjie-oorskotte,

Bladsy 15 reuke en selfs een keer partytjiegangers uit die saaltjie te kry.

Wat die Buitewyke wel jare lank gekort het, was ‘n voorsitter wat al die kundigheid en talent in die gebied kon saamsnoer om ‘n goeie saak deur te voer.

Dit was die taak wat gewag het op Mervin, ‘n prokureur wat sowat vyftien jaar gelede na die skok-afsterwe van ‘n vennoot in een van Pretoria se voorste regspraktyke kwaliteit van lewe op Bettysbaai kom soek het.

Jare se gehunker na ‘n eie gemeentesentrum het onder sy leiding uiteindelik in 2008 gestalte gekry. Dit het nie daar geëindig nie, want die boukoste moes gedelg word.

Wat ‘n kultuurlewe het daar nie rondom die sentrum ontstaan nie: ‘n basaar is ingestel aangevul met gemeente-etes en veral die Ommieberg-konserte, wat ‘n platform geskep het vir plaaslike talent.

Daar was ‘n klompie afgetrede predikante en halwe predikante wat as die Cliffhangers gehelp het om gehore te trek en dit het weer gelei tot die totstandkoming van die Hangklip Dayzees om vir ‘n variasie in klank en kleur te sorg. Die Dayzees gaan nog sterk aan en tree juis Vrydagaand in Perigators op Pringlebaai op.

Mervin en Dawn verhuis nou na Kokanje-aftree-oord naby Modimolle (Nylstroom); niemand weet presies hoekom nie, maar dit is blykbaar ‘n ander woord vir Luilekkerland.

Al wat ons weet, is dat hulle gaan terug verlang na die lekker tye hier. Tye soos Vrydagaand se afskeidsfunksie waar daar toesprake gemaak is, lekker geëet is, musiek gemaak is, gedans is en lekker gesing is, al was sommige van ons maar baie vals.

POTJIEKOSPLANNE VAN DIE WEEK Die Hangklip-streekbasaar vind op Saterdag 8 November plaas! Potjiekos was nog altyd een van die groot attraksies daar en gaan vanjaar weer een wees. Teken solank die datum aan want aanhangers van die Potjiekoskultuur mag dit nie misloop nie!

Overstrand Herald HERMANUS - Executive Mayor, Nicolette Botha-Guthrie, unveiled a stylized Mandela Mosaic Mural on Mandela Day to celebrate the life and times of Nelson Mandela.

The event took place at the Overstrand Municipality in Hermanus and was attended by councillors, junior councillors and members of the public.

According to the Municipality the mosaic mural initiative was conceptualised last year when the late Mr Nelson Mandela’s health deteriorated. According to Botha-Guthrie they wanted to commemorate his legacy so that the whole Overstrand will benefit. Artists from Big Mosaic Works in Zwelihle were commissioned for the job and it took them almost a year to complete. It took three weeks to erect the mural in the garden of the municipality.

Barnyard uitvoering om geld te in vir Marimbas KLEINMOND - Die Marimba orkes van Laerskool Kleinmond gaan eersdaags deelneem aan die International Marimba and Steel Pan Festival in Bedfordview Johannesburg. Om al die kinders se vliegkaartjies te betaal, is gereël dat Barnyard in Durbanville ‘n spesiale vertoning reël. Kaartjies kos R135 per persoon (vervoer uitgesluit).

Die “Best Days of our Lives” vertoning op Sondag, 27 Julie, begin om 14:00.

Hier marimba orkes staan onder leiding van Anna-Marie Kotze van Enlighten Trust Education in Hermanus. Sy word bygestaan deur Betsie Ryke. Hierdie orkes is een van twee op die dorp. Die lede van die Handevat groep staan onder leiding van Stefné van Dyk en bestaan uit leerders van Laerskool Kleinmond en Kleinmond Primêr.

Spertye: Hier pronk die Marimba-orkes se lede van Laerskool Kleinmond in hul nuwe uniforms wat geskenk is Dinsdag deur me. Dreyer, ma van een van die orkeslede. Die orkeslede is vlnr Gabriël Ellis, Anrique Mitchell, Francois Marais, Jaidy Dreyer, Nontsikelelu Afrika, Hanneke Lordan, Lize Visser en Siya Saul. Voor sit 12:00 Riwaan Isaacs.

Berigte: Dins- Handevatters hou konsert op Goedvertrouw se Handevat en gemoedelike atmosfeer stoele regpak, ook die tafels dag 16:00 Kleinmond Marimbas se Bos-tot-Bach plaasgevind. Die marimba dek en (na demonstrasies deur Goedvertrouw konsert was ‘n reuse sukses! Dit was ‘n fondsverwingsgeleentheid om dié orkes te help om die 3de Internasionale Marimba en Steel Pans fees volgende maand in Johannesburg by te woon. Dit was ook ‘n gesellige afsluitingsfunksie van hul voorbereidingsnaweek vir hierdie deelname.

Die konsert en naweek is gehou op die Goedvertrouw wynplaas buite Botrivier. Die publiek het dit wonderlik ondersteun: alle kaartjies was vroeg reeds uitverkoop - Goedvertrouw se proe-lokaal was “tjokkenblok” vol!

Die geleentheid self het ‘n fees gebied van musiek, goeie geselskap, -kos en wyn en alles het in ‘n heerlik-gesellige

konsert is aangevul deur drie wonderlike Xhosa sangers van Wellington wat die mense gaande gehad het: Ayabonga Mhobo, Thulani Botya en Siseko Sixaka. Talle mense het agterna laat weet hoe genot- en vreugdevol die geleentheid vir hulle was.

Die Handevat Marimbas bestaan uit leerders wat 3 skole verteenwoordig: Kleinmond Primêr, Laerskool Kleinmond en Lukhanyo Primary. Hul naweek het afgeskop met Irene de Waal se leersame “afrondings-doenen-leer-skool” : alles van basiese etiket, tafelmaniere en -etiket, die betekenis van verskillende soort eetgerei, glase, ens. Dit het die leerders goed voorberei, want Saterdagmiddag moes hulself, benewens die tafels en

Irene) dit versier.

Al die betrokkenes kon ook beleef en sien hoe om uit hulself te tree en onbaatsugtig te gee en te deel. Elreda Pillmann en Irene de Waal se wonderlike liefdesdiens het diep tot elkeen se hart gespreek - ook die talle gewillige helpers soos Heleen Sliep, Arina de Jager, Annelize Visser, Janice Anderson, Haddon de Waal, Hans van Dyk, e.a., se baie harde werk!

Weens talle skenkings was die wins genoeg om die meeste van die oorblywende onkostes vir die Johannesburg besoek te dek. BAIE dankie aan almal wat hierdie fondsinsamelingspoging so ruim ondersteun het. Dit word geweldig baie waardeer!

Go green “Each species is a masterpiece, a creation assembled with extreme care and genius.”

(Edward O. Wilson) African Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus):It is a subspecies occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. The IUCN classified leopards as Near Threatened in 2008, believing that, if not already, they may soon qualify for Vulnerable status due to habitat loss and fragmentation of their habitats.

They are increasingly rare outside protected areas.

African leopards exhibit great variation in coat colour, depending on the location and habitat. These can vary from pale yellow to deep gold/tawny and sometimes black, and it is patterned with black rosettes while the head, lower limbs and belly are spotted with solid black spots. Male leopards are larger than females, averaging 60kg with 91kg being the maximum attained by a male. Females weigh about 35 to 40kg on average. Studies have shown that Cape Mountain Leopards differ morphologically as well as genetically from leopards elsewhere in southern Africa.

These studies have shown that their home ranges may be as much as 10 times larger than reported during earlier research, illustrating that population numbers are far smaller than previously estimated.

The Cape Leopard Trust has been doing amazing work on locating and monitoring the Cape Mountain Leopard

population in the Western Cape. Prior to the pioneering work that were undertaken

by Cape Leopard Trust Boland, launched in March 2010, very little was known about these animals, which fill the role of apex predators in the Western Cape. The area covered by the research project extends from the Groot Winterhoek mountains right down to the Overstrand coast at Betty’s Bay and Kleinmond. These leopards have been labelled Critically Endangered by conservation groups involved in research.

Conservation groups such as Flower Valley Conservation Trust and Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy in joint ventures have been working together with landowners toward their conservation. The Landmark Foundation’s main focal points are to ensure that corridors are identified and created to facilitate movement between habitats.

The Boland Leopard Projects ultimate objectives are to: > Obtain baseline data necessary for ensuring the survival of leopards in the Cape mountains; > Alleviate leopard-farmer conflict; > Establish the presence/ absence/relative abundance of resident mammal populations.

This data will then be fed into Cape Nature’s website -State of Biodiversity (SOB) database and finally be submitted to peerreviewed scientific journals for publication.

It is estimated that there are less than 1,000 Cape Leopards in total living in the mountain regions of the Cape. They prefer rocky slopes or well vegetated riverine areas, rather than open flat areas, where they are active at night, but sometimes also a little during the day.

Each leopard has unique spot or rosette patterns.

Their calls sound like sawing wood.

Leopards are solitary animals, moving in a well-defined, sexually exclusive territory or home range. Male home range in fynbos areas average 250²km and that of the female on average 120²km. There are usual two to three females in each of the male’s home range.

Their diet consists 80% of their favourite food, which is klipspringers and dassies, but they will also eat antelope, porcupine and mice. There was a leopard that even caught and ate some penguins at the Betty’s Bay penguin colony last year. Very few baboons are eaten as these group-living animals can be very dangerous and they gang up when they are threatened.

The Cape Mountain Leopards weigh only half the mass of the average African leopard, the male weighing on average 35kg and the female on average only 21kg. The female have 2 to 3 cubs, however less than half survive. She moves them to a new den site every 7 to 10 days for a period of about 3 months to keep them safe from detection by other predators.

After suckling the cubs usually leave their mothers after 12 to 18 months and then have to

Bladsy 22 fend for themselves.

Landmark Foundation has collected some valuable information by setting up cameras across large areas to better understand these secretive animals’ lives.

A Wits doctoral student, Jeanine McManus, working on leopard research for Landmark Foundation, is monitoring the leopard population in the Overberg between Bot River and Infanta, using camera traps. They are triggered by the animal’s movement, snapping a shot of the each animal passing.

However, these leopards are facing huge problems because their ranges are becoming so restricted that they have to live in small ‘islands’ of natural fynbos surrounded by farms and towns. While they can survive, they have no opportunity to link up with leopards in other regions, causing their gene pool to shrink with the eventual possibility of extinction. These findings therefore highlight the critical importance of having corridors that link habitats where leopards can survive, mixing the separate gene pools by migrating and breeding with animals from other areas, thus ensuring their survival.

Loslitdag kom nader Kleinmond golf results Loslitdag is op 5 September. Dit vind in elke dorpie in elke hoek van die land plaas en meer as twee miljoen mense, 10 000 maatskappye en 500 skole neem deel. Onthou om plakkers te koop!

Irene ‘Margarine’ Fischer aangestel as ‘n Loslitdagambassadeur wat haar beywer vir bewusmaking ten opsigte van hemiplegie. Sy is onlangs aangestel as een van 17 Loslitdag-ambassadeurs om hand by te sit om reklame te doen vir die projek wat reeds 20 jaar lank fondse insamel vir persone met gestremdhede.

Loslitdag is die land se belangrikste fondsinsamelingsen bewusmakingsprojek ten opsigte van persone met gestremdhede.

In 2009 was Irene ‘n jong en energieke omroeper by die radio stasie OFM in Bloemfontein en sy het bekend gestaan as Margarine op die Mambo Jumbo afternoon drive.

“Ek was 26 jaar oud en dolverlief op die lewe. Ek het ‘n diploma in Televisie- en Filmvervaardiging voltooi asook ‘n graad in joernalistiek aan die Universiteit van Pretoria behaal en daarna ‘n nagraadse sertifikaat in onderwys (NGSO).

Ek het volleerd en slim gevoel.

Onaantasbaar. Seker in die wete dat ek enigiets sou kon hanteer wat die Lewe na my kant toe gooi. En toe besluit die lewe om my te toets op daardie een!”

Een oggend op pad werk toe is sy onverwags “herverpak” toe ‘n vragmotor ‘n rooi verkeerslig verontagsaam het en in haar kar vasgeploeg het. Irene het ‘n traumatiese breinbesering opgedoen en die gevolglike skade aan haar brein en lyf het haar belowende loopbaan in radio kortgeknip.

“Ná die ongeluk is daar aan my gesin gesê ek sou waarskynlik net 72 uur leef. Dit was in Oktober 2009.”

Na amper drie maande in die hospitaal waartydens Irene weer moes leer eet en praat, is sy ontslaan om na ‘n rehabilitasie-sentrum te gaan,

want sy moes ook weer leer regop sit en loop.

“Ek is ‘n hemipleeg. Weet jy wat dit is? Wel. Moenie worry nie, want ek het eers van die woord ‘hemipleeg’ gehoor nadat ek sélf een geword het.” ‘n Hemipleeg ervaar verlamming aan een kant van hul lyf as gevolg van ‘n breinbesering.

Verlamming is altyd aan die teenoorgestelde kant van waar die brein beseer is. As die besering aan die regterkant van die brein plaasgevind het, word die linkerkant van die liggaam geaffekteer – die linkerarm, romp en -been sal verlamming of swakheid ervaar.

As gevolg van die dramatiese wyse waarop haar lewe verander is, gee Irene nou motiveringspraatjies. Sy is passievol daaroor om mense meer in te lig oor traumatiese breinbeserings en hemiplegie.

Sy glo Casual Day bied haar die ideale platform daarvoor.

Loslitdag is die land se grootste fondsinsamelingsen bewusmakingsprojek vir persone met gestremdheid.

Dis ‘n dag waarop ons vra dat almal in SA gemaklik, formeel of sommer net verspot sal aantrek wanneer hulle werk toe gaan en die amptelike Loslitdag-plakker sal dra. Die hele Loslitdagspan is baie passievol daaroor om so veel as moontlik mense te laat besef dat “my lyf is net ‘n dop.

Joune ôk.” Lees meer oor Irene se verhaal op haar webtuiste www.mylifewithabrokenbrain. co.za. Irene woon in Rustenburg, maar lewer haar praatjies dwarsoor die land by skole, organisasies en universiteite.]

Vanjaar is die tema vir Loslitdag: “Bring out the Bling”, oftewel “Blink kant bo!” Dink aan iets om te dra, en maak dit tien keer blinker omdat dit vanjaar Loslitdag se 20ste verjaarsdag is.

Die projek behoort aan en word beheer deur Die Nasionale Raad vir Persone met Liggaamlike Gestremdheid in SA en word jaarliks georganiseer deur die raad se Loslitdag span.

Bowls Club treat the non playing partners

KLEINMOND - On Sunday the Bowling Club had a great turnout for their “Partner & Braai�

Day. All the members invited their non-playing partners to a game and after a really fun and laughter game, the fires were lit and the eating commenced. This event has been so successful that more of the same are scheduled. The club has also started training and coaching

sessions for would-be players.

Two permanent coaches are on their staff, Bekkie and Roy Galaway.

If anyone would like a training session, please call 028 271 5008/ 082 518 8682. A session can then be arranged.

The club has many more competions and social events in store. Just watch this space!
