‘Faith’ brings Maija home MARYKE SWART

The beloved husky that went missing after escaping from a smallholding in Northern Paarl, is safely back home. Marcelle Warwick says the search for Maija, a husky breed dog, who went missing on 7 April after escaping through a fence on their smallholding on the R45, is a testimony of endurance and faith. Maija took to the road last Monday afternoon where she was picked up by the driver of a white bakkie. When Marcelle heard of Maija’s disappearance shortly after returning home, she immediately drove up and down the road searching for her. Two farm workers sitting at the side of the road informed her that they saw a man loading Maija into a white bakkie before driving off. Marcelle called the SPCA in Wellington hoping to find that the man who took Maija handed her over to them. She was filled with joy when a gentleman confirmed that a dog with blue eyes matching Maija description was there. As they were closing up, Marcelle arranged to fetch “Maija” the Tuesday morning. Upon her arrival at the SPCA however, she found that the “dog with the blue eyes” was a border collie. “The feeling of dismay was indescribable,” she recalls. The search started from scratch with Marcelle putting up posters in shops all over Paarl and Wellington and taking to social media to create awareness of Maija’s disappear-

ance. With no sign of a husky at vets and shelters in the area, Marcelle feared that Maija had been stolen. The calls came flooding in, the first being from a woman who knew the driver of the bakkie and gave Marcelle the Samaritan’s number. He told her that he picked Maija up as he was afraid that she would get run over. He planned to take Maija to the SPCA but decided to leave the dog at his next door neighbour for the night as he himself has two aggressive dogs and the SPCA had already

closed for the day. With excitement that her dog had been found and was safe, she called the next door neighbour, but heard to her dismay that Maija had escaped from their yard during the night. The following day the lady who had contacted her first, phoned again wanting to know if Maija was now safe. After telling her that she apparently had escaped, she said that her son had seen a husky walking in Uitsig that afternoon. Marcelle went to Uitsig where she spent more than two hours driving

around the neighbourhood in the dark, searching for her three daughters’ beloved husky. Out of luck, Marcelle feared that Maija might have headed in the direction of Mbekweni. Marcelle’s domestic worker had previously suggested that she also put up a sign at the notice board in Shoprite in Wellington. She was astounded when she received a call from a Shoprite-employee saying that her aunt had taken a husky from a man walking in Mbekweni. It is believed the man told her she

could take the dog, who now had a thick, ugly green collar around its neck, if she is willing to pay him R50. She kept Maija overnight in her house and called the SPCA the following morning to collect her. Marcelle phoned the SPCA and was told, yet again, that a dog like Maija was brought in. A bit sceptical by now and fearful of the disappointment if it wasn’t Maija, Marcelle went to the SPCA. She was overjoyed when it was indeed Maija that had been brought in. Marcelle said every phone call she received made her feel like she was tracing Maija’s journey. Even after Maija was found on Wednesday 9 April, a lady called Marcelle to tell her that she saw a woman with a dog matching Maija’s features going into the Animal Hospital (earlier that day). Marcelle laughed with relief, and told the lady that it was in fact her taking Maija for a check up after her ordeal. “It is still amazing that she called. Everyone, including my family, prayed for Maija’s safe return. I had an underlying confidence that I would get her back. This has been a testimony of endurance, faith and determination,”she says. An added bonus was a woman who called Marcelle to offer her a service of spaying, micro-chipping, and deworming Maija at a very low cost. She says she still can’t believe the response she got from her posters and posts on social media. “It is a restorer of faith in humanity to see that people have so much compassion for animals and for people who have lost their beloved pets.”

‘Niemand soek my elektrisiteit nie’

Vir studente en leerders is die klomp vakansie dae sekerlik groot pret. Jy kan in die week al laat slaap en ’n welverdiende langnaweek geniet sonder om skuldig te voel. (Alhoewel ondernemings en die werkerskorps nie nood wendig hiermee sal saamstem nie.) Vir enige winsgedrewe sakeonderneming is die vol gende twee weke chaos. Ons kan darem ho pelik uitsien na stiller paaie en winkels.

“En onderwyl hulle van die berg afklim, gee Hy aan hulle bevel om aan niemand te vertel wat hulle gesien het voordat die Seun van die mens uit die dode opgestaan het nie.” MARKUS 9:9

FRANS LE ROUX Howard Hendricks van Paarl-Oos het verlede jaar ’n projek by sy huis onderneem waarmee hy nou ten volle kan staatmaak op sonkrag vir sy energiebehoeftes. Sowat ’n jaar gelede het Paarl Post by Hendricks gaan aanklop om te sien presies wat hy alles vir sy woning beplan. Hy werk op ’n skip wat rondom die kus van Afrika olie-pyplyne en oliebore herstel en dit hou om ongeveer nege maande van die jaar weg van sy gesin, wat in die huis bly. Die sonkragstelsel is al vir byna 12 maande in gebruik, en Hendricks is meer as tevrede met die stelsel se werkverrigting. “Gedurende die somermaande is die sisteem so effektief dat ek al my lugverkoelers, swembadpomp en meer as een yskas kan aanhou sonder dat ek enige Eskom-krag gebruik.” Die stelsel, wat tot ongeveer 52 kWh per dag lewer, stel Hendricks ook in staat om die oorblywende eenhede terug in die Eskom-netwerk te laai. “Ons huis gebruik tans omtrent 22 eenhede so ek kan amper 30 eenhede terug gee aan Eskom.”

Pa in hegtenis ná peuter se ontvoering MARYKE SWART Die pa van ’n 15-maande oue peuter is agter tralies nadat hy verlede week sy seun ontvoer het. Jean Pierre Tredaux (24) het Maandag in die Paarl-landdroshof verskyn op aanklagte van die oortreding van ’n onderhoudsbevel, ontvoering en diefstal nadat hy JP Tredaux en sy seun op Donderdag 10 April Janez Swarts. sy 15-maande oue seun, Janez Swarts, uit sy vervreemde meisie, Allison Swarts, se arms gegryp het toe sy en Janez te voet oppad was huis toe vanaf ’n winkel op Simondium. Hy het hierna in ’n taxi op die R45 by Simondium gespring en is die laaste keer met die kind by die Paarl treinstasie opgemerk. ’n Wye soektog is deur die polisie na hom en die kind op tou gesit, en kennisgewings op sosiale media en plaaslike radiostasies het verdere bewusmakings geskep. Tredaux se pa, wat op Vredenburg bly, het die volgende dag die polisie gebel en hulle ingelig dat sy seun en Janez by hom is. Die verdagte en die kind is terug Paarl toe gebring en Janez is veilig en ongedeerd aan Swarts terugbesorg. Swarts het aan Paarl Post gesê sy het vir Janez se lewe gevrees. “Dit was ’n emosionele tyd vir my en my familie.” Tredaux se saak is Maandag na 23 April uitgestel. Hy bly in aanhouding tot dan. * The 24-year-old man who kidnapped his 15-month old toddler last week, has been taken into custody.

Robbers lock shopkeeper in cold storage A woman was bound and locked in a cold storage for about 20 minutes during a robbery at her family’s shop in Wellington on Tuesday. The owner of Corner Fruit & Veg in Main Street, who prefers to remain anonymous, says at about 05:30 his mother went to their shop. He was scheduled to come in later. While she was opening up, two suspects forced the door open. One was wearing a nylon stocking over his face, while the other’s face was not covered. Both were wearing gloves and were unarmed. They allegedly overpowered and dragged the woman to the cold storage where they tied her hands where they demanded the keys to the shop’s safe and the cash register. While one suspect was gathering the loot, the other covered her mouth so

that she would not scream. They left the store and locked her in the cold storage. Outside, three men walking past the shop saw the suspects coming out the shop with a big bag. They became suspicious and chased after them. The suspects dropped the bag and fled. Several minutes later a passerby heard a woman’s screams and noticed the shop’s door was open. He went inside and found her in the cold storage. The owner says the man tried to keep his mother calm while the police were on their way. Wellington Police confirmed the incident and are investigating a case of business robbery. The money that was stolen from the shop was recovered in the bag, but the suspects are still at large. Anyone with information should contact the police at 021 864 8440.

Man steek hom aan die brand, sterf ’n Man is dood nadat hy homself aan die brand gesteek het. Joseph Hendricks Kasper (55) van Weltevrede, Wellington, is Sondagaand in die Paarl-hospitaal opgeneem nadat hy sowat 80% erge brandwonde opgedoen het. Volgens inligting het hy derdegraadse brandwonde aan sy kop, gesig en nek opgedoen, en van sy kop tot maag gebrand. Kasper wat in St. Davidsstraat gewoon het, is omstreeks 19:30 in Malherbestraat gekry nadat hy na bewering terpentyn oor

hom uitgegooi en homself aan die brand gesteek het. Volgens ’n poniekoerant het Kasper vroeër die aand na sy vervreemde vrou se haarsalon in die hoofstraat van Wellington gegaan en homself hier aan die brand gesteek. Jo-Anne Otto, van die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid in die Kaapse Wynland-distrik, het bevestig dat ’n pasiënt wat by die beskrywing (van Kasper) pas, by Paarl-hospitaal aan ernstige brandwonde beswyk het.

TREE-A-THON: As part of the “Million Trees” project the Mayor of Stellenbosch, Conrad Sidego, and 140 volunteers from five corporate entities went to Klapmuts on 10 April to participate in one of many Tree-athons planned for this year. Over 1000 trees were planted in Klapmuts in only a few hours and indigenous trees were also distributed to community members in attendance who expressed an interest in greening their homesteads. Sidego’s vision is to create dignified living conditions in the area while reducing its carbon footprint. With Sidego (second from left) are volunteers from PSG: Fanie Meades, Gary Luyt, Werner Prinsloo and Charl Krumm.

Menings Opinion

17 April, 2014

Mid-term break: Pure disruption Just as learners started getting back into the swing of things behind their school desks following their week-long autumn break, their schedules will once-again be disrupted in the coming weeks. Firstly, we are on the eve of the Easter long-weekend, which is followed by a full week of school closures (28 April-2 May) due to two consecutive public holidays. This is then followed by an additional public holiday on 7 May when the nation will cast their votes in the general election. Surely this is short-sighted planning by the powers that be. One would think that instead of having had the previous school holiday, they would logically have opted to rather combine these public holidays with the prescribed school holidays. Surely this disruption is going to have a negative effect on many learners, especially with the mid-year exams in June. Although most teachers will breathe a sigh of relief with this mid-term break, surely they will also be anxious about returning to school after an almost two-week interval, considering the loads of work that still has to be dealt with this term. Especially for the matrics, who already have a much shorter school year than other learners. And what about parents – just when they thought their house was clean and cupboards full, the little scoundrels are back!

Last straw that broke the camel’s back The Oscar Pistorious case is currently still on everyone’s tongue. I speak to people daily who broadly discuss the day’s events in court. I personally generally just read the highlights of the case in the morning paper and then carry on with my life. But one cannot help but be fascinated by the events that brought an athletic icon to a spectacular fall, but even more so, that brought the tragic end to the life of a beautiful young woman. Now, amongst all these braai fire legal debates, which have been raging about this case, and everyone having their individual mock day in court, the question recently arose while we were sipping red wine around a braai fire: Have you ever considered murdering someone? After an uncomfortable silence, a friend of mine admitted to this thought years ago. This seemed to break the ice, as more of the company came forward and said that, yes, they had very briefly contemplated murder, especially in a moment of utmost rage. After listening to these stories, I admitted to my shocked friends that I had actually once in a fit of rage, myself committed murder. I think I was about 14 years old. My younger brother and I were permanently at battle with each other. And he knew exactly which buttons to press to make me so infuriated. And this is exactly what happened one Friday evening. My parents were out for the evening and he once again continuously picked on me. I can’t even remember what the fight was about. But he then disappeared into the garden and I saw my chance. I was still fuming with rage and stormed into the garage where my father kept an array of garden tools, poisons etc. I grabbed the first bottle of what I correctly presumed was poison and headed for my brother’s room. And without thinking, and still blind with anger, I poisoned his entire prized collection of tropical fish in his

custom-built fish tank. When I had come to my senses and realised what I had done, I fled the scene of the crime to a friend’s house. But not for long. I was soon tracked down by my parents and forced to face the music. Yes, this was an absolutely terrible thing to have done. But as said, it was blind rage after having been pushed too far. Needless to say, I was seriously in the dog box, even after having had my hind cheeks given a good polishing with the old, and familiar, leather strap. I must just add that today my brother and I are genuinely fond of each other, even though he was devastated for weeks after the callous murder of his beloved fish. Is it possible that we all have the ability to lose our cool in mere seconds of complete anger? There is an old saying, the last straw that broke the camel’s back.There is a limit to everything. We can load the camel with lots of straw, but finally it will be too much and the camel’s back will break. And it is only a single straw that breaks it’s back - the last straw. This can be applied to many things in life. People often say “that’s the last straw!” when they will not accept any more of something. Was this, and in the case of my murders which have taken place, the tragic events that lead to the Valentine’s murder of 2013? After the murder of my brother’s fish, many battles were again fought between us. But fortunately these were normal brother and sister tiffs and I never again lost my cool such as that of the fateful evening. And through the years in many stressful situations of perhaps confrontation or just someone rubbing me up the wrong way, I have learnt to count to ten and take deep breaths to find my feet again. But with the current case running in the Pretoria High Court, one cannot help but wonder how easily things can go terribly wrong when things get out of hand and your mind slips into an uncontrollable abyss of no return.

Hoe is hierdie hoë waterrekening moontlik? Ek wil net my ongelukkigheid teenoor die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit uitspreek. Ek het twee maande agtereenvolgend ’n waterrekening ontvang van meer as R1 200, en natuurlik dit bevraagteken. Ondersoek is ingestel en daar is gevind dat daar niks fout met die meterlesing was nie, nog minder met my watermeter (dit is ’n nuwe watermeter), maar tog wil die munisipaliteit nie verder help nie. Ek wag nog steeds vir een van die werkers in die rekeningafdeling om terug te kom na my, want op navraag het ek gevra om aan iemand anders in ’n hoër posisie my saak te stel, maar tot hede is ek nie gekontak nie. Al wat aan my gesê is, is dat die meterlesings reg is. Nou vra ek: Maak dit sin dat jou waterverbruik in een maand van 12 kF na 55 kF kan styg? Hoe gebruik twee mense 43 kF water in vier weke, wat die oggend al 06:00 uit die huis is en eers 18:00 saans tuis kom. Ek het nie eers ’n swembad of lekkasie by my huis nie.

Ondervind ander ook ’n rampspoedige styging in hulle waterrekeninge? Dit is net vir my ontstellend om te kan sien iets is verskriklik fout, maar die munisipaliteit is nie bereid om te help nie as dit duidelik soos daglig is dat die waterrekening nie korrek is nie. Veral in hierdie lewe se ekonomie. Belaglik om so baie vir water te betaal wat ek en my man nie eers gebruik het nie. Gaan dit oor waar jy woonagtig is in die Paarl?

Munisipale bestuurder, Jo-

Again, we are being punished It is with much interest that I once again read about the geyser control devices which have been forced upon the public. I still do not agree with this system, but then again, as mentioned, it is forced upon us. Initially our geysers would only have been switched off between 18:00 and 20:00, but now, with no input allowed whatsoever from the public, it is also being switched off from 08:00 until 10:00.

But in the very same Paarl Post I read about the child which was shocked to death in an informal settlement due to the illegal spaghetti wiring. We, as law-abiding tax-paying citizens, are punished, but those who are actually stealing electricity, get off scot-free. To be honest, electricity is a luxury and not a necessity.

CHRIS ROSSOUW PAARL

Taxibestuurders se arrogansie skok Ek as voorsitter van United Taxi Association, Paarl, wil graag weet hoekom word pendelaars so sleg behandel deur party taxidrywers. In ’n onlangse artikel in Paarl Post is ’n prysverhoging deurgegee met die verstandhouding dat pendelaars nader aan hul wonings in die nuwe areas van Spes Bona en Mountain View op en afgelaai sal word. Maar die meeste taxidrywers weier volstrek om aan pendelaars se versoek ete voldoen. Ek sit met talle briewe van siek en ou mense wat op die Shoprite -staanplek vir sekere drywers vra om net ’n klein entjie verder op te ry om hulle nader aan hul blyplekke af te laai. Hul antwoord in is bloot: “Nee, dit is nie ’n housecall nie en dit sal R30 kos”. Die pendelaars wil ook by my weet hoekom kan die taxi’s ná spitstyd soggens vir hulle tussen die huise of naby hul huise optel en dan weer met huis toe gaan tyd

by die Amstelhof-staanplek af laai. Dan wil ek nie eers praat van die manier hoe hulle met bejaardes asook die ander pendelaars praat nie. Hulle taalgebruik is nie net onaanvaarbaar teenoor pendelaars nie, maar ook teenoor hul eie kollegas. Pendelaars moet bewus wees van hul volgende regte: ) Hulle het die reg om te vra vir diens, want hulle is die mense met die geld in die hand. ) Hulle is die mense wat hierdie bedryf aan die gang gou en die wiele laat rol. ) Hulle is die mense wat verantwoordelik is vir die kos op almal se tafels wat in die taxibedryf is ) Hulle is die mense wat sorg dat taxi-eienaars hul skuld ensovoorts betaal. Daar is nog baie wat genoem kan word.

hann Mettler reageer: Drakenstein-munisipaliteit se inkomste-afdeling sowel as ons ingenieursafdeling het met die klaer ’n gesprek gehad waar daar vasgestel is dat die watermeter nuut is en dus nie foutief is nie. Daar is ook vasgestel dat die lesings van die waterverbruik nie geskat is nie en dat dit wel die korrekte lesings is wat ooreenstem met lesings van verlede jaar dieselfde tyd. Verder moet ook in ag geneem word dat die munisipaliteit slegs ’n rekening kan uitstuur volgens ons meters op die volgende voorwaardes: 1. Die meter is korrek in terme van registrasie van die werklike verbruik; 2. Daar geen lekkasie is nie. Die verbruiker kan wel die meter laat toets vir korrektheid teen ’n fooi van R573. Indien die meter nie korrek registreer nie, sal die fooi terug betaal word, maar indien die meter korrek registreer is die fooi nie terugbetaalbaar nie.

Employee to be disciplined In response to the letter published in the Paarl Post on 27 March, Where is this worker’s supervisor, the Drakenstein Municipality responds as follows: I investigated the complaint immediately and reported the incident and the steps he has taken to the Mayor. The worker has been identified and is facing disciplinary action. The issue of the supervisor will be taken up during this process. It is expected of workers to work independently, even when there is no supervisor present. It is important to note that the majority of workers fulfil their mandate as borne out by the many compliments from members of the community. It is regretful that single incidents like this create a negative perception. The municipality will also appreciate it if the complainant will be willing to testify at the disciplinary hearing of the employee. All information on municipal issues, positive and negative, is much appreciated and enables us to better our service delivery.

Ontevrede oor swak diens van Wellington-polisie Ek wil graag my ontevredenheid uitspreek teenoor die Wellingtonpolisie. My vrou het op Saterdag (5 April) om 15:30 die aanklagkantoor geskakel in verband met ’n klagte. Die betrokke beampte aan diens het genoem dat die klagte deurgegee was aan die sektor voertuig. Om 16:30 het ons weer geskakel, aangesien daar toe nog nie ’n reaksie voertuig was nie. Die manlike beampte (kaptein), het genoem dat hulle ’n voertuig sal uitstuur, maar sonder enige sukses soos die

eerste keer. Half ses het ons weer geskakel. Die vrouebeampte by die aanklagkantoor wat die telefoon beantwoord het, het haar nie eens identifiseer toe sy met my gepraat het nie. Volgens haar was die klagte deurgegee, maar die voertuig “is miskien iewers besig”. Helaas het daar toe nooit ’n polisievoertuig opgedaag nie. Daar is seer sekerlik senior beamptes aan diens wat kan leiding neem en seker maak daar word reageer op mense se oproepe. Ons manne en vroue in blou is

tog immers daar om ’n diens te lewer. Dit was nogal ’n ernstige geval en hulle teenwoordigheid sou ’n verskil gemaak het.

REV. F. GREEN WELLINGTON

Lt.Kol. Johan Barkhuizen, bevelvoerder van Wellington-polisie antwoord: Die insident sal ondersoek word en as daar enige wangedrag plaasgevind het sal die lid of lede departementeel aangekla word. Die klaer sal op hoogte gehou word van die ondersoek.

) Dankie Optika Paarl Mall vir fan tastiese nadiens. ) Renault Paarl se kliëntediens is skokkend. Hulle bel jou om ’n motor te kom toets bestuur en wanneer jy die volgende dag by hulle opdaag, het hulle nie ’n motor beskikbaar vir die toetsrit nie. Hulle skakel jou ook met aanbod vir inruiling van jou voertuig en twee maande later het niks nog ge beur nie. En glo my, ek het al gaan kla oor die swak diens, waartydens die bestuurder erken het die probleem lê aan hulle kant. Weer ’n Renault? Nee dankie! ) Aan die personeel in Bsaal Medi

clinic Paarl: ’n groot dank, my been is gesond. ) Kassiere by Spar Wellington moet by Pick n Pay Wellington leer wat is hoflikheid. ) Kafee by Spesbona garage ver koop items wat verby hul vervaldatum is en weier om dit dan om te ruil. ) Hiermee wil ek net vir Pick n Pay Wellington baie dankie sê vir julle goeie diens. Nadat twee soorte rome geflop het, het hulle vir my gratis room kom aflewer. ) Pep Stores, stuur jou bestuurderes vir opleiding in kliëntediens en mense bestuur. Sy is baie onbeskof met die werkers en dit voor kliënte! Pep se Customer Carediens is ook useless, of beset of jy praat net met ’n masjien. Baie klagtes word nie opgevolg nie. bv. hoe sy met gestremdes optree.

Ondanks duidelike waarskuwingstekens wat sê dat swaar vragmotors wat langer as nege meter is, nie deur die pas mag ry nie, sit daar kort-kort ’n vragmotor onder ’n oorhangende rots vas of word die kante van die pad flenters getrap deur vragmotors wat sukkel om om die kort draaie in die pas te kom. Op vergadering na vergadering met munisipale amptenare is daar voorgestel dat die bestaande regulasies wat swaar vragmotors uit die midde-dorp moet hou, strenger toegepas moet word. Tot dusver het dit niks opgelewer nie. Die munisipale bestuurder het gesê dat hulle dit sal oorweeg om ’n 24-uur verkeersdiens in te stel om hierdie en ander verkeersprobleme die hoof te bied, en dat die munisipaliteit in die proses is om vakante poste in die verkeersafdeling te vul.

Dis Paastyd – maar wees paraat en veilig Paasfees, en boonop ander vakansiedae, is hier. Ieder en elk wil ’n bietjie ontspan en selfs weggaan vir ’n paar dae. Maar ongelukkig is daar ook skelms om elke hoek en draai wat jou planne wil bederf. Sorg dat Paastyd geen onsmaaklike verrassings bring nie, waarsku die polisie. Wees op en wakker met persoonlike veiligheid, asook dié van besittings en eiendom. Verskeie veldtogte sal gehou word, soos padblokkades en sporadiese kontrolepunte waartydens enige voertuig of persoon deursoek mag word. Hoë sigbaarheid sal die wagwoord wees om misdadigers vas te trek in hul streke. Knelpunte wat die polisie die afgelope ruk ondervind, is veral diefstal van en vanuit voertuie, huisbrake en aanranding. Alhoewel die polisie hul mannekrag ten volle sal inspan tydens Paasfees, is dit nie altyd moontlik om oral te wees nie. Dus word lede van die publiek gemaan om hul oë en ore te

alle tye oop te hou vir verdagte optrede in hul omgewing. Volg die volgende wenke om misdaad te voorkom: * Sluit altyd jou voertuig en hou die vensters toe. Moet geen waardevolle besittings in voertuie laat nie. * Maak seker dat jou huis goed toegesluit is. Vra die bure om ’n ogie oor jou erf te hou as jy weggaan. Stel ook die polisie in kennis. * Moenie in die nag alleen rondloop nie, en beslis nooit in afgesonderde gebiede nie. * Wees veral versigtig met die hoeveelheid kontant wat jy by jou het en uiters waaksaam met geldonttrekking by OTM’e. * Maak seker dat jou selfoon te alle tye werk en plaas noodnommers daarop. Die polisie is net ’n oproep weg indien die publiek hulp nodig het. In die Paarl kan die volgende nommers geskakel word om in direkte verbinding te tree met polisiesektorhoofde in die onderskeie gebiede: * Sektor 1: Die middedorp tussen Mark- en Dorpstraat, tot by die Bergrivier Boulevard,

Community centre construction starts Hope Through Action (HTA) announced that construction of the Franschhoek Valley Community Sports Centre (FVCSC) in Groendal will start soon. The FVCSC will open in early 2015 and will provide a state-of-the-art multi-purpose indoor pitch, training and meeting rooms, a resource centre, showers and kitchen facilities. HTA is also constructing a fourclassroom school which will be operated by The Kusasa Project. HTA is a charity, registered in both South Africa and the UK, that supports disadvantaged young people by mainly using sport to develop life skills. In 2010, they opened a similar facility in Mbekweni, which provides sports activities, life skills programmes and guidance to over 1 700 young people every month. When the newer facility is completed HTA would have invested almost R50 million in the two communities. Philip Green, founder of HTA said: “Our sports centre in Mbekweni has been a great

success and has made a significant impact in the community since opening in 2010. “We have strong local partners, particularly SCORE, who are responsible for delivering the programmes in Mbekweni, and we are delighted that this relationship will continue in Franschhoek. It has taken four years of effort to develop the plans and raise the necessary funds but we are delighted that the same construction team of Fred Laker, from Lyners Consulting, and Power Construction will be working with us in Franschhoek.” Phil Bland, chairman of HTA said: “We are committed to working with local partners and recognise the commitment and contribution made by Stellenbosch Municipality and, in particular, Mayor Conrad Sidego and his councillors. “Our ambassadors, Reuben Riffel, Ryk Neethling and Gary Kirsten have been involved in getting the project to this point and I look forward to working with them in the future”.

Things to do in and around Paarl with the kids Just as the schools began after a week-long break, mothers cannot help but be in a slight tizz about many long weekends in the coming weeks. Here are a couple of tips to keep the youngsters occupied and out of mischief: ) Visit the Drakenstein Lion Park and Chimp Haven. Come and see captive-born predators, which have been saved from very cruel circumstances bask and feed in the Boland sun. The Chimp Haven houses animals which needed to be rehoused after the Tygerberg Zoo closed down. These include chimpanzees and tigers. The Lion Sanctuary is open daily from 09:30 to 17:00 and the Chimp Haven from 09:30 to 16:30. Lion Feeding Times are on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 16:00. Admission is R50 for adults and R25 for children per facility, or you can purchase a combo

ticket and visit both facilities for R80 per adult and R40 per child. ) Butterfly World in Klapmuts is a wonderland swarming with exotic butterflies, energetic monkeys, small deer and iguanas in a tropical jungle. Butterfly World is open seven days a week from 09:00 until 17:00. There is a restaurant with a scrumptious menu and interesting gift shop as well. EntrancefeeisR58peradult,R33forchildren under 18 (children under 3 enter free), students R53 and R53 for pensioners. A family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) can be purchased for R149. ) Go and see the crocodiles at Le Bonheur farm just outside Paarl on the Simondium Road. Le Bonheur is home to about 1 000 crocodiles. Interactive tours are offered every 45 minutes during which you can also get the opportunity to hold a baby croc. The farm is open seven days a week from 09:00 until 17:00. Entrance is R35 for adults and R22 for chil-

dren under 18. The fully licensed restaurant offers an interesting menu, including some crocodile delicacies. You can also picnic on the lawns while doing some bass fishing. ) The Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness Centre on the Old Paarl road, provides easy access to some wonderful wildlife and bird species. Focusing on African wildlife, Giraffe House aims to provide a place for people to enjoy a family picnic complemented by some fresh air, whilst experiencing and learning about animals and conservation. Daily animal encounters are very popular and are held at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00. It gives the visitor the opportunity to meet and hold some interesting creatures. Entrance fees are R45 for adults, R25 for children (3 to 15) and pensioners, R30. ) Picnicorbraaiinoneofthedesignatedareas on Paarl Mountain, such as the flower garden of Christmas Camp. ) For the less adventurous: bring the movies to life on the big screen at Minimax with an exciting selection of films over the coming weeks, such as the long awaited hilarious Afrikaans wedding comedy, Konfetti; The Amazing Spiderman 2, The Other Woman, Die Windpomp and Godzilla.

Van links is opvoeder Jolene Minnaar (KN Skool-beheerliggaam), minister Donald Grant, skoolhoof Mary Banda, uitvoerende burgemeester Gesie van Deventer, opvoeder dr. Jeff Lombaard.

KNSS kry skoolsaal! Die burgemeester het in 2012 kennis gemaak met skoolhoof Mary Banda en die leerders van Klein Nederburg Sekondêre Skool. Die kwaliteit van opleiding en dissipline het toe reeds beïndruk. Toe die burgemeester na die jaarlikse Rugby Derby met New Orleans genooi is, het dit tot haar kennis gekom dat die skool met 1 353 kinders nie ’n skoolsaal het nie. Dit beteken dat “saalbyeenkomste” in reëntye nie kan geskied en matrieks moet in drie verskillende lokale in die dorp eksamen skryf. Hierdie feit het die burgemeester so ontstig dat sy belowe het om in kontak te kom met die minister van onderwys en om te help sover sy kan om ’n saal vir die skool te verkry. Donald Grant, minister van onderwys in die Wes-Kaap, het positief reageer en die skool kort daarna besoek. Die gelukkige uiteinde is dat die minister kon fasiliteer dat die departement in vennootskap met Garden Cities Archway Foundation, die skoolsaal sal bou. Die saal sal R5 370 miljoen kos waarvan die Foundation R2 782 miljoen sal bydra en die provinsiale departement van onderwys R2 388 miljoen. Die skool moet self R200 000 insamel as hul bydrae. Hul begin eersdaags met hul geldinsameling en omdat baie van die skool se kinders uit arm gemeenskappe kom, vra die Drakenstein-munisipaliteit dat almal moet help. KNSS is ’n skool wat uitstekend presteer. Hul matriekslaagsyfer was 91,4% in 2013 uit 233 matrieks. Daarvan het 34,1% universiteitstoelating gekry en ’n verdere 60% kan aan ’n kollege studeer. Dis ’n indrukwekkende 94% van matrieks wat naskools kan gaan studeer. “Die skool doen baie moeite met sy matrieks en gee deurentyd ekstra gratis klasse, selfs elke Saterdag word spesiale klasse aangebied,” vertel van Deventer. Alle oud-onderwysers word gevra om te help mentor en kan die skoolhoof bel by 021 862 2720. “Ek is baie opgewonde oor hierdie goeie nuus. Hierdie is een van die goeie uitkomste wat dit lekker maak om ’n burgemeester te wees,” glimlag van Deventer. “Dis ’n voorreg om op so ’n manier te help om ons kinders en gemeenskappe te bou. Ons sê baie dankie vir minister Grant,” sê van Deventer.

22 Paarl Post Villagers val vas

Sport Nuus Sport News

17 April, 2014

Villagers Newton het Saterdag in ’n wegwedstryd teen All Stars verloor met 20-15. Villagers het eerste punte aangeteken deur vinnige samespel van hul voor- en agterspelers. Wellton Jones, die blitsige vleuel, het na ’n goeie skêr-beweging onder die pale gaan kuier vir sy drie. Dit was egter ’n baie slegte dag vir die span van Newtons se skoppers. Alle pogings deur drie skoppers was mis gewees. Die tuisspan het egter weer terug in die wedstryd gekom deur twee drieë te druk en goeie stelskoppe oor die dwarslat te klits. Die hitte het ook die manne van Villagers totaal uitgeput, en hulle het laat in die wedstryd eers weer momentum begin kry. Die puntemakers vir Villagers was Wellton Jones en Tim Davids. Die tweede span wen 6-3. Saterdag bied Villagers hul uitkloptoernooi op die Newton-velde aan. Inskrywings is gratis vir klubs se A- en B-spanne. Belangstellende klubs kan vir Jannie Japtha by 078 147 3082 skakel of Jehita James by 076 054 0616. Daar is nog plek vir drie klubs.

TOURNAMENT WINNERS: During a mini sport day held at New Orleans Primary, eight primary schools took part in a rugby tournament. The u.9 winners are from Al-Azhar Primary School. With the team are coaches Derrick Prins and Saudiq Moerat.

GOOD START: Wellington won their first league encounter of the season against Robertson on Saturday. The match was played in blistering heat at Robertson with Wellington earning a bonus point in the 31 – 23 victory. Fullback Brandon Meyer dives over to score one of the four tries for Wellington with flyhalf Dawie Dyason in support. The victory was well deserved and hard work lies ahead for the gutsy Wellington side as their next opponents are the Club Champion qualifiers Roses United.

VEELSYDIGE SPORTMAN: Moegamad Yusuf Christians, veelsydige sportman van die Ligstraal Skool vir Gestremdes, is een van twee leerders van hierdie skool wat gekies is om die Wes-Kaap te verteenwoordig in tafeltennis by ’n toernooi wat komende Saterdag in Durban begin. Laasjaar het Moegamad Yusuf die Westelike Provinsie verteenwoordig in gewigstoot by die Nasionale Spele in Bloemfontein waar hy ’n derde plek behaal het, en later hierdie jaar neem hy in Potchefstroom en Durban weer deel aan die gewigstoot vir n moontlike plek in die Suid Afrikaanse Paralimpiese-span.

ONOORWONNE: Tydens die afgelope skoolvakansie het Hoërskool Labori se o.19A rugbyspan aan die Tony Stoops-rugbyweek deelgeneem. Die span het al drie hul wedstryde gewen en is aangewys as een van die uitblinkerspanne van die toernooi waaraan 44 skole deelgeneem het. Hulle uitslae was as volg: Fairbairn College 18-3, Langenhoven Riversdal 15-11 en HHH 39-5. Shane Bezuidenhout, die losskakel, is by twee van die wedstryde as speler van die wedstryd aangewys en skrumskakel John de Wee is ingesluit in die Tony Stoops vyftiental vir die toernooi.

Violets oorrompel Young Standards Violets-rugbyklub se eerste span het die afgelope naweek die hoogaangeskrewe span van Young Standards behoorlik laat klippe kou deur hulle met 31-22 af te stof. Standards, wat in bloedige hitte dié wedstryd teen ’n geweldige pas begin het, het hulle behoorlik vasgeloop in ’n fikser en ervare agttal van Violets, gelei deur kaptein en agtsteman Alrich Erasmus. Standards staan vroeg twee drieë af ná hulle van elke hoek van die veld probeer aanval het. Kanse is so geskep vir Violets se vinnige spelers om elke keer ’n geïsoleerde Standards-speler van die bal te beroof. Anwar Meyer het vir Violets uitgestaan en is selfs beloon met

’n skitterdrie. Die manne het gaan water drink met die telling 12-13 in Violets se guns. Ná ’n paar minute se spel in die tweede helfte maak die afrigter van Violets, Neil Fortuin, ’n meesterlike skuif deur van sy ervare en vars manne op die veld te stuur en Violets druk in die proses nog twee drieë, deur Clint Roland en Dean Klutte onderskeidelik. Denovan Hoogaard verdoel die drieë. Hoogard, Violets se losskakel, neem hierna beheer oor die wedstryd en slaag met nog drie strafdoele. Violets laat lê so bietjie slap en Standards druk twee vinnige drieë. Violets se tweed span wen 29-7, derdes verloor 13-10 en die o.15’s wen 19-14. Dié naweek het Violets ’n loslootjie.

ROLBAL-UITBLINKERS: Francois van Deventer (links) en Avril Darlew van die Paarl-rolbalklub het albei onlangs puik prestasies behaal. Francois was die kaptein van die Boland B-mansspan wat in Oos-Londen deelgeneem het. Darlew was die kaptein van die senior vrouespan wat in Pretoria deelgeneem en dié span het brons gewen. Sy het ook die Boland vroue enkels gewen.

Kings win battle against Cavaliers Boland Rugby’s woes continued this past weekend when the Eastern Province Kings took advantage of their forward dominance to beat the Regent Boland Cavaliers 28-21 (half time 10-8) in their Vodacom Cup rugby match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, in Port Elizabeth, on Friday. It was a tough battle and one in which the Kings took control largely in the second half as their pack scrummed Boland into the ground. The victory broke a three-match losing streak for the Kings, but it was still not good enough to help them qualify for the quarterfinals, a milestone which is beyond their reach. The flyhalves traded penalties to open the scoring with Boland’s Christiaan Rust slotting an attempt in the eighth minute and the Kings’ Ntabeni Dukisa levelling matters 10 minutes later. The visitors made it clear from the start that they wanted to give the ball some air. They made a brighter start. They limited their players at the breakdown and fanned out wide on attack when opportunities presented itself. The Kings seemed to hang off the ball waiting for something to happen. It did, but not in their favour as Boland lock, JC Astle, crashed

over for his team’s opening try following a quick-tap by scrumhalf Marnus Hugo in the 23rd minute. The Cavaliers were dealt a blow shortly after the first half hour, when tight head prop Martin Dreyer received a yellow card for collapsing the scrum. That disrupted the Cavaliers scrum and the Kings took advantage of their numbers in that department, forcing a penalty try in the 38th minute, which Dukisa converted just before the break. Boland regained the lead with Rust’s penalty shortly after the restart, but the Kings struck back in the 45th minute with a try from lock Cameron Lindsay. Ntabeni added the two points. He also slotted a longdistance penalty to stretch the lead to 20-11. Boland, however, responded with an outstanding try by fullback Harlon Klaasen, who stepped off his left foot twice to leave the Kings’ defence flat-footed. Rust narrowed the gap to two points and then kicked a penalty as the visitors sneaked into the lead again. Once again, the lead did not last too long as Dukisa landed another penalty two minutes later. The Kings wore Boland down up front and eventually sealed the win as replacement Siphe Punguzwa dotted down with a minute left on the stadium clock.

ROEIKAMPIOEN OP PAD NA MOSKOU: Chrisjan Coetzee van die Paarl-kanoklub is die nuwe SA kampioen nadat hy die 200 m vir enkelkano’s by die onlangse SA Snelroei Kampioenskappe, wat in Pietermaritzburg plaasgevind het, gewen het.
