40 suspects arrested Natalie Grobler A woman from the Gomorrah squatter camp in Hercules narrowly escaped with her life when her 26-year-old boyfriend assaulted and stabbed her in the head before burning down her shack. The man was arrested by the Hercules police for assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Not only did the Hercules police arrest the man, but also arrested 40 other suspects over the weekend. Crimes varied from possession of stolen property, shoplifting, public indecency, illegal sale of liquor, domestic violence, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, malicious damage to properties, drunken driving, reckless or negligent driving, possession of drugs, drunkenness, public drinking and pedestrian source of danger.
“Among the 40 suspects was a 28-yearold man from the Gomorrah squatter camp who was arrested for stabbing a 26-yearold man with a knife. “A 36-year-old woman was also arrested for selling liquor without a licence at Sunset View plot,� said Captain Bonginkosi Msimango, spokesperson for the Hercules police station. He said they also arrested a 28-year-old man at a tavern in Pretoria Gardens after he damaged a gambling machine, while another man was arrested in Hermanstad for possession of dagga. In a separate incident a 38-year-old man from Booysens was arrested for hitting his girlfriend, after he accused her of cheating. The argument heated up and he hit her. Msimango said the woman managed to escape and found refuge at the police station.
No stone was left unturned on Wednesday evening outside the Hotel 224 building, as Tshwane Emergency Services Fire Brigade and ambulance services filled Leyds Street with response vehicles. Reports came in that the building was on fire, but when emergency services arrived at the scene, the fire had already been put out. According to Johan Pieterse, spokesperson at the Tshwane emergency services, the signage on the outside of the building caught fire but was soon put out with an extinguisher by a security guard. “The cause of the fire is being investigated, but it could possibly be an electrical fault. Only a thorough investigation will tell,� he said. According to hotel manager, Div Nel, they rang the fire alarm and the fire was quickly put out. He said about 200 people were evacuated. “There were ignorant people who did not give their co-operation and chose to go back to get their belongings. It looked far worse than what it actually was but we thank the emergency services for their quick response,� Nel said. According to eyewitnesses who filled the street to capacity, they expected a massive fire because of all the emergency vehicles. Sizwe Mhlanglu said he came running out of his flat when he heard the sirens but was relieved when he heard it was only the signage that had burnt and not the building. According to ER24 spokesperson, Vanessa Jackson, there were no injuries.

DA-lede wéér uit raadsaal Du P Martins Brandon Topham, die koukusleier van die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in die Tshwane-metro, is vir die tweede agtereenvolgende maandvergadering uit die raadsaal gegooi. Die vete tussen Topham en Morakane Mosupyoe, speaker, het gedurende die Januarie raadsvergadering ontstaan nadat die speaker Topham ’n spreekbeurt oor die gewraakte wyksraadverkiesingsprosedure ontsê het. Die DA het daarna ’n mosie van wantroue teen die speaker ingestel. Verlede Donderdag se woordewisseling het ontstaan nadat sy op ’n versoek om haarself te verskoon terwyl die mosie bespreek word, geweier het om dit te doen. Mosupyoe het Topham beveel om stil te bly. Hy het geweier en is daarop, net soos die vorige keer, onder begeleiding uit die raadsaal verwyder. Soos in die vorige raadsvergadering, het al die DA-lede ook daarna uitgestap. Anders as voorheen, het die Vryheidsfront Plus se lede hierdie keer bly sit. Ben Chapman van die DA het Vrydag sterk op die gebeure reageer. “Die DA se klagstaat teen Mosupyoe, wat volgens die riglyne van die raadsvergadering bespreek moes word, behels onder meer dat die speaker verskeie versoeke van opposisielede om haar beslissing teen Topham se spreekbeurt, na die Reëls en Etiese Komitee te verwys, geïgnoreer het. “Die speaker het na bewering belangrike korrespondensie van raadslede geïgnoreer en e-pos-briewe uitgewis sonder om dit te lees. Daarnaas het sy glo ook drie aansoeke vir inligting, wat ingevolge die bepalinge van die inligtingswet gedoen is, uitgewis. Klanktranskripsies het in die termyn van die speaker ook glo verlore geraak,” het hy gesê. Topham het verder gesê die DA sal nie buig in die geveg met die speaker nie.

Mot oorskry sy perke by man Natalie Grobler ’n Vlieënde gogga het verlede Dinsdagaand sy moses teëgekom toe hy in Ché van Diemen (22) se oorkanaal ingevlieg en daar vasgesit het. Van Diemen, ’n inwoner van Phyllis Robertson-tehuis, was verlede Dinsdagaand met sy selfoon op sy bed doenig toe ’n mot in sy oor invlieg. “Dit het geklink soos ’n propellor wat in my oor is. Ek het amper van my kop afgeraak.” Die tehuis se versorgers het met Van
Diemen na die Tshwane Distrik-hospitaal gejaag met die hoop dat die dokters die mot sou kon verwyder. “Hulle kon hom nie uitkry nie en toe verwys hulle my na ’n oorspesialis, maar ek kon hom eers die volgende oggend gesien het. Intussen het ek met die mot in my oor rondgeloop.” Hy het byna nie ’n oog toegemaak terwyl die mot in sy oorkanaal rondgewapper het nie. Hy sê die frustrasie het hoog geloop. “Dit was baie irriterend, maar ek het beslis my les geleer. Die versorgers het my
gewaarsku dat ek my vensters in die aande moet toemaak. Ek het nooit geluister nie en toe eindig ek op met ’n mot in my oor.” Hy het gesê die kanse dat hy weer sonder ’n waaier gaan slaap, is skraal en dat hy van nou af met ’n kussing oor sy kop gaan slaap. Stephan Smalberger, bestuurder van die Phyllis Robertson-tehuis, het gesê al die inwoners praat nog steeds van die mot en dat dit ’n snaakse gebeurtenis was. “Dit is die eerste keer dat so iets by ons tehuis gebeur en ek glo ons sal dit vir lank onthou.”

SPCA denies cruelty claims Natalie Grobler and Suzette van Huyssteen
Police will flex their muscles against mechanics who repair cars on the side of the road.
Used oil stench is unbearable Gavin Emmanuel There is a strong smell of used oil that permeates through the air in hot conditions, causing residents of Pretoria West near a wholesale outlet to close their doors during the day. According to Makgorometja Sihlangu, a resident of Luttig Street, the problem is caused by mechanics repairing vehicles on the side of the road. “We have pleaded with these mechanics for some time now to at least find an alternative place where they can operate, because when it is hot, there is a strong smell of used oil that makes it impossible to breathe,” said Sihlangu. He also said the pavements are dirty because of oil spill-
age from the vehicles and the Tshwane metro should intervene. “Most of the mechanics are not even South African citizens, they messed up their countries and now they want to turn ours into an eyesore,” added Sihlangu. According to the Tshwane metro police spokesperson, Console Tleane, mechanics who repair vehicles on the side of the road will be dealt with. “They are making it difficult for pedestrians to walk on pavements and they must find an alternative place to do the work,” said Tleane. Sihlangu urged residents to come together and clean the oil mess in Luttig Street after the mechanics are removed.
Two animal rights organisations are at loggerheads following allegations of what borders on animal cruelty against the SPCA. Activist group Animal Awareness, came forward last week with what they deem to be undeniable proof of animals being left to bleed to death following blood donations and animal euthanasia, without waiting the required seven days. The ‘proof’ includes the testimonies of former SPCA employees. The SPCA, however, rejects the allegations and claims numerous requests to provide more information for them to properly investigate Animal Awareness’ allegations, fell on deaf ears and until such information is brought forward, the allegations remain exactly that. According to Karin Smit from Animal Awareness, what should be a safe haven for animals, is fast becoming a death camp. “Our mission isn’t to close the doors of the SPCA, but we are forced to expose what is really happening.” According to the NSPCA operational manual, animals donating blood should be healthy and already identified to be euthanised. It seems, however, this policy is not being properly enforced. According to a former SPCA employee who wishes to remain anonymous, animals are allegedly picked at random to donate blood and are then ‘left to bleed to death’. “Some inspectors usually do not confirm that the dogs they select are earmarked for euthanasia and they usually pick the larger breeds
as they provide more blood.” The source said in terms of the policy, dogs are supposed to return to the SPCA after two days but this never happens. Korky Levanon, spokesperson for the Tshwane SPCA, strongly rejected the claims and said they do not bleed animals to death. “It is accepted that from time to time, SPCA branches will be called upon to provide blood donors for local veterinarians. The selected animal must be a healthy animal but already identified to be euthanised.” She confirmed that the animal must be euthanised after blood has been taken and the carcass returned to the SPCA. “The animal must not be bled to death and it may not stay at the clinic for longer than two days.” Levanon said that according to the Animal Protection Act No. 71 of 1962, it is an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any animal. Smit and a colleague, CherylAnne Squires, also claim that the SPCA is in breach of its own policy regarding euthanasia. According to them, animals are being ‘put down’ within 24 hours after being admitted to the SPCA, instead of the required seven days. “In some cases animals are put to sleep as soon as they come through the doors,” said Smit. Smit is in possession of a voice recording of a telephone conversation between, who she claims is an ex-Tshwane SPCA employee and San-Marie Jacobs from Animal Awareness. The conversation revolves around a bizarre tale of how a dog owner had been tricked into believing his dog, that was eutha-
nised on the same day it was admitted to the Tshwane SPCA, was still alive but already adopted. The owner allegedly received confirmation from the SPCA that his lost dog was taken in, but was brought under the impression that the dog had been adopted. According to what the ex-employee told Jacobs, a photo was staged of the ‘new owner’ and the dog, using the stiff carcass. The ex-SPCA employee confirmed, however, that this was done without the knowledge of SPCA management. Rekord is in possession of a copy of the recording. Managing director of the Tshwane SPCA, Rick Allan, strongly reacted to the claim on Monday and challenged Animal Awareness to come forward with all information pertaining to the alleged incident for him to launch a full investigation. “We consider the allegations in a very serious light,” he said. Levanon rejected the claims about premature euthanasia and said stray animals are kept for a minimum of seven days before being labelled unwanted, while signed over animals are assessed as soon as possible after admission. She added that the decision to euthanise an animal is not easy and never taken lightly. “The decision to euthanise depends on several factors such as age, health, aggression and stress levels.” Smit said it was possible for the SPCA to avoid issues revolving around their blood and euthanasia policies if they sharpen up their adoption and lost and found systems.

Residents lose money to con contractor Gavin Emmanuel A bogus contractor has robbed several residents of Daspoort of their hard-earned money. The contractor promised his clients state of the art paving and started digging and removing weeds. The next day he demanded an advance on his money and disappeared into thin air. His latest victim was Johan Slabbert, a resident of Daspoort, who had been scammed out of more than R2 000. Slabbert told Rekord that the con man came to his house and told him that he had a lot of paving bricks left from his previous job and he can use them to lay paving for him. “He told me I had to pay for the sand and delivery of the bricks and the job would cost me R2 500. It sounded too good to be true,” said Slabbert. Slabbert also said the man removed weeds and began digging the very next day with the help of three other people he hired. At around midday the bogus contractor demanded R1 500, and that was the last time Slabbert saw him. “He also took money and cell phones of the guys he hired. I want to warn residents of Pretoria West to be wary of this guy, because he targets elderly people in the area,” said a disgruntled Slabbert. Late last month Rekord published three identikits of wanted suspects for murder and Slabbert said one the suspects looked exactly like the guy who scammed him. According to a resident of Daspoort, who wanted to remain anonymous, he suffered the same fate at the hands of the bogus contractor. “He promised to pave my yard and I ended up paying him R5 000 for a job he did not even do. He is so sweet and speaks Afrikaans fluently. Since then I have not

Role players showcase Pretoria’s tourism sites Ron Sibiya The Tshwane metro, together with the Gauteng Tourism Authority, Freedom Park and the Voortrekker Monument, hosted the Inter-Provincial State Law Advisors Forum (IPSLAF) recently. IPSLAF members toured Pretoria’s tourism sites including Freedom Park and the Voortrekker Monument last Thursday. The IPSLAF is a forum of state law advisors from all provinces. It provides a platform where best practices and latest legislative and constitutional developments are shared.
It also provides an opportunity for rigorous debate on issues affecting the provinces as jurisprudence in South Africa. This area is constantly evolving and it is imperative to keep abreast of new developments. IPSLAF provides the platform for that. IPSLAF meetings are held once every four months and take place on a rotational basis, with each province taking a turn to host the meeting. The previous meeting was held in the Free State. Gauteng hosted the last meeting recently.

Last week Thursday Rekord received a frantic call from a hawker notifying Rekord about the happenings in the inner city. Rekord arrived at the scene to find two metro trucks loaded with all the equipment and food, cooked and uncooked, from hawkers who set up shop in the open veld on the corner of Bloed and Paul Kruger streets. According to the angry crowd that gath-

The president said we must create jobs for ourselves and this is what we are doing,” said Khotso Naire. “What are they going to do with all our food?

According to a police source at the scene, this was part of a clean-up campaign that will continue throughout the city. Rekord could not reach the metro at the time of going to print for a formal comment.

Water flow unresolved Gavin Emmanuel
Brion Snyman (regs) demonstreer op Ruaan de Klerk (links) hoe die Wonderboompoort-polisie die verdagte in die polisievoertuig gelaai het.
Seuns vang vermeende motordief Natalie Grobler Twee brawe tieners van Capital Park het voorverlede Vrydag ’n verdagte vasgetrek na hy vermoedelik ’n voertuig wou steel. Brion Snyman en Ruaan de Klerk (albei 17) van HoĂŤr Tegnologiese Skool John Vorster, het uit die gimnasium in Paul Krugerstraat gekom toe Snyman, wat ook deel is van die Mayville-buurtwag, ’n verdagte by ’n Fortuner-bakkie opmerk. “Ek het op hom gegil. Toe spring hy weg en begin hardloop. Met diĂŠ het ons hom agternagesit.â€? De Klerk het gesĂŞ hy het aanvanklik gedink Snyman was besig om hom vir die gek te hou, maar toe hy uiteindelik besef die jaagtog is ’n werklikheid, het hy ook begin hardloop. Toe die twee tieners die voortvlugtende
uiteindelik bereik, het De Klerk hom gepootjie. “Ons het hom vasgepen en deursoek en vonkproppe en motorsleutels by hom gekry. ’n Paar minute later het die Wonderboompoort-polisie opgedaag en hom, met ’n gesukkel, agter in die polisievoertuig gelaai.â€? Snyman en De Klerk het nie ’n oomblik aan hul eie veiligheid gedink nie en eers later besef dat die verdagte gewapen kon wees. “Ons het nie regtig gewik of geweeg toe ons hom agternagesit het nie. Ons het net gedink ons moet die knaap vang. Dis al,â€? het Snyman gesĂŞ. Juanita, Snyman se ma, het gesĂŞ dat hulle trots is op hom en sy gaan nog vir weke aaneen oor hul daad spog. Adjudant-offisier Wanda Olivier, woordvoerder van die Wonderboompoort-polisie-
stasie, het gesĂŞ Snyman en De Klerk is ’n voorbeeld vir hul portuurgroep. Olivier het selfs ’n sertifikaat van waardering aan hulle oorhandig om hulle te bedank vir hul dapperheid. “Dit was ’n dapper daad van die tieners gewees, maar inwoners moet altyd onthou om hul eie veiligheid in gedagte te hou.â€? Volgens Olivier kan inwoners arrestasies uitvoer wanneer ’n verdagte ernstige oortredings soos moord, diefstal en verkragting begaan. Inwoners kan ook help om ’n verdagte te arresteer as die polisie of ’n sekuriteitsbeampte om hulp vra. “Dit is belangrik om te weet dat manlike inwoners tussen die ouderdom van 16 en 60 die polisie moet help indien so versoek word. As inwoners weier om die polisie te help, kan hulle aanspreeklik gehou word.â€?
There is a constant water flow over DF Malan drive, between the PPC traffic light and Moot Street, disrupting drivers and pedestrians on a daily basis. According to motorist Danie Scheepers, who travels via DF Malan on a daily basis, the problem has been there for more than six weeks. “I have tried to report the matter to the Tshwane metro on several occasions, but was not given a reference number and most of the time I was referred from one department to the other,� said Scheepers. Scheepers also said that he finally managed to obtain a reference number last week and it turned out it was for a drain in Mamelodi. Scheepers also told Rekord that he kept on enquiring and he was assured that the metro is aware of the problem and that the metro police would be dispatched to pay a visit to PPC and request them to look into the problem. According to Scheepers, he spoke to the Environment and Sustainability Specialist at PPC, Anben Pillay, who told Scheepers that the matter was not an issue that can be resolved by PPC. Rekord sent questions to Pillay and the metro, but it seems that fingers are being pointed at each other. Scheepers also mentioned that he was informed by the metro that the water flow that is causing all the mess comes from PPC from water that is being pumped at the PPC quarry. Efforts to solicit comment from PPC was unsuccessful at the time of going to print.

Artists want justice after confiscation Natashia Slabbert
A Tshwane metro worker offloads a truck filled with Zimbabweans’ artworks, which were reportedly confiscated by metro police. Insert: Zelda Hancke, Moses Maswera and Tawanda Nyakabawe had to start their metal art business from scratch.
Roughly a quarter of confiscated goods, taken by Tshwane metro police and a metro team in an illegal raid in December last year, were returned to their rightful owners last week. This followed after serious allegations, including corruption and theft, were levelled at the metro police and the metro’s rapid response team by a group of artists after the raid. Rekord reported on the situation in February when Zelda Hancke, art dealer and spokesperson for the group of Zimbabwean artists, explained how metro officers seized the artists’ goods, valued at R208 000, from a private property in Montana, without any official documents. Hancke, whose art shop sold these artworks and had to close down due to a lack of stock, laid a charge at the metro police’s anti-corruption unit a few weeks ago. The artists have since received back some of their art after a truck, accompanied by metro workers, offloaded the stock last Tuesday. Only a quarter of the goods, however, was returned and many of the items were
damaged. “We are still crying. They drove away with four truckloads of our goods and only brought back one truckload,” one of the artists said. According to Hancke, there had been talks of the metro compensating the group for their damages, however, the group felt it was not enough. The artists feel strongly about justice taking its course and want to see the guilty parties held accountable for their actions. “On the one hand we are happy to see that someone is listening and that something is happening, but corrupt officials cannot just get away and think ‘the metro will pay for our mistakes’. If they get away this time, they will just do it again and again,” Hancke said. According to Nick Calogero, spokesperson for the metro police’s anti-corruption unit, the docket had been moved to a docket discussion panel. “The panel will decide whether there is a case against anyone, who should be charged and whether it will be departmental or disciplinary. As soon as we receive this feedback, we will proceed,” Calogero said.
Vagrants take over in Magaliesberg mountain Ron Sibiya Vagrants have turned the Magaliesberg into a haven which harbours criminals. So said the Friends of Magalies during the Take control of Magalies operation this past weekend. According to Chris Aucamp, a member of the Friends of Magalies, they organised the operation. “It involved Tshwane metro police, nature conservation, neighbourwatch M6 and policing forums from all areas around the mountain,” said Aucamp. He said vagrants and criminals have illegally occupied the mountain. “We experience lots of burglaries emanating from the mountain. Criminals living on the mountain break into homes and then escape into the bushes on the mountain, using it as a hideout,” Aucamp said. The aim of the operation was to preserve
the mountain with its unique fauna and flora. The mountain is not an official nature conversation area, but is a protected green area. Concerned residents, living in the vicinity of the mountain, formed the Friends of Magalies. They also previously raised money to fence off some of the areas not fenced. The Friends of Magalies believes certain developments and vagrants could destroy the mountain’s natural habitat. The mountain offers a sanctuary to several wild animals that would otherwise be in danger of being poached, if action to protect the area is not taken. The Friends of Magalies plans to have the mountain patrolled by members of nature conservation on a daily basis. The fence around the mountain is the property of the metro and no one is allowed to vandalise it.

For most of us it is impossible to imagine only having one limb, but for Susan it will be a lifelong battle. This 8-month-old baby girl was diagnosed with Amelia at birth. Amelia is the complete absence of the skeletal parts of the upper or lower limbs, with no bone structure distal to the defect. Susan has total Amelia, and has none of the four limbs others take for granted. To make matters worse, her mother abandoned her at birth, but thankfully, she is now in a safe and loving home environment at the Tshwane Place of Safety Association. Housemother and mother to 15 other foster children, Karen Bruyére, cares for Susan. Bruyere’s hopes for Susan is that she lives as normal a life as possible despite her disability. The place of safety is solely dependent on donations and with no government subsidy for any of the children, there is only so much she can do for her daughter. “Susan is at the age where she is starting to get inquisitive about her surroundings and I don’t feel she should be deprived of this. That’s why we are hoping that she can get a prosthetic arm attached to her one limb,” she said. Bruyére and Susan have consulted
various doctors to discuss the possibility of this. “We are not yet sure of the costs involved, but we can only imagine what it will be. We will try as hard as we can to get the money for it and not get despondent. I believe each child deserves quality of life, not quantity of life,” said Bruyére. It is hoped that Susan will be able to move around more easily and later on in life when she gets an electric wheelchair, she will be able to commute by herself. According to Susan’s paediatrician, Dr Elize van Rooyen, she suffers no other disability. “As far as we can tell at this stage she has no other illness. She can see, hear and is very intelligent and she will do well with at least one limb just to get her going,” she said. So far Susan’s future has not been decided, but Bruyére vowed that she will not allow her to be institutionalised. “I will care for her for as long as I can and when I’m gone, she has many brothers and sisters who will maybe take her in. I am also confident that the home will continue.” Bruyére said they will continue doing everything possible to raise money for the procedure and believe where there is a will there is a way.

Die Finesse-tydskrifspan, saam met minstens 500 vroue, gaan op 3 Maart vir Le Roux-Wahl aanmoedig om ’n wêreldrekord te breek. Sy moet in een uur vir meer as 472 vroue lipstiffie aanwend. Die projek word Soen dit beter genoem en geld wat hierdeur ingesamel word, sal aan The Children’s Hospital Trust, wat die geldinsameling namens die Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital hanteer, geskenk word. Die opwindende geleentheid gaan by die Hearfelt Arena in Pretoria vanaf 08:30 plaasvind. Almal wat aan dié wêreldpoging wil deelneem, sal in die ry moet val en om 09:15 sal die pret begin. Hierdie spesiale geleentheid vorm deel van Finesse se voelgoedekspo wat die hoogtepunt van Nasionale Voelgoedweek is. Inwoners word genooi om die ekspo by te woon en vermaak te word deur Gerhard Steyn. Kenners soos die
Glam Guru, Natasha Sutherland, Andrea du Plessis, Christien Durand, Susan Coetzer, Dawie Roodt, David Viljoen en nog vele ander, gaan gratis werkswinkels aanbied en wenke uitdeel. Die ekspo skop op 2 Maart by die Hearfelt Arena af. Navrae: www.voelgoedweek. co.za.
The internet has become an integral part in the life of modern man over the past 15 years. As is the case with cell phones, one cannot even start to comprehend how we were able to function, without these two vital pieces of technology. The internet caused a revolution in the fields of communication, information, banking and in many other fields. The world of the media has also undergone some significant changes since the inception of the internet. The internet meant that the media had to reposition itself to remain relevant and competitive. New developments in this type of technology meant that every user of a smart phone could gain access to the internet from anywhere in the world from a cell phone. Internet has become highly accessible to everyone. These developments need not be seen as a threat to the printed media. It can instead be used to create exciting new challenges for the local media (of which Rekord forms part), to serve the community. This is exactly what is going to happen when Rekord becomes part of Caxton’s exciting new internet product looklocal. co.za on March 20. Through this new website users will be able to access any local information by pressing a few buttons. Looklocal.co.za was developed over the past few months by the team from Moneyweb.
Using the best available technology users could for example find the exact positioning of a breaking news story or be led to other relevant activities by means of a map, which works in conjunction with the Global Positioning System (GPS). It is predicted that looklocal. co.za will soon be the preferred news website for local users. Imagine the scenario of a user travelling somewhere within the boundaries of the Tshwane metro. For some or other reason that traveller urgently requires the contact details of the closest police station, emergency service, hospital, school, church or even sport club. By means of his cell phone the traveller can access the looklocal.co.za website and immediately gain access to the information on the website’s extensive information guide. In this manner the user can save valuable time and money, but can also supply a public service by reporting any problem or even an emergency situation. Local breaking news will also be updated on the website as it happens. This means that a further benefit of looklocal.co.za will be that users will also be in the know of the latest local news. Win with Rekkord and looklocal. cco.za. Although the loccal version of lookllocal.co.za will only be launched

REKORD WESNUUS VRYDAG 2 MAART 2012
Editorial COMMENT A pupil at Lethabong Secondary School in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, hanged himself last week, allegedly rather than go to school and face the boys who had bullied him. This has brought the focus sharply on this continuous scourge that is rife in our schools. Suicide is one of the consequences in bullying. In fact, it is so common in America that a new word has been coined for suicide as a result of bullying, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bullycideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Bullying is a worldwide problem that can + ,- . / ' $ , *. 0

Kry lewe Johannes 10:10. Ek het gekom sodat hulle die lewe kan hĂŞ, en dit in oorvloed. Ek lees weer die aangrypende toespraak deur Anna Quindlen, wenner van â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Pulitzer-prys. Ek haal â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n stukkie aan: So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a manic pursuit of the next promotion, the bigger pay cheque, the larger house. Do you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d care so very much about those things if you blew an aneurysm one afternoon or found a lump in your breast? Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. Get a
More corruption This column continues where it left off two weeks ago with the theme that corruption by the state is not something new, but it is as old as history itself. When we discussed corruption by the Paul Kruger regime in the old Zuid-Afrikaansche Republic or Transvaal last week, it must be kept in mind that all these things were not done out of mischief or for enriching their own pockets. Most of it was done because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any better. When gold was discovered on the Witwatersrand, the Transvaal changed from a bankrupt state to the richest spot on earth overnight. Kruger left himself open to corruption with his concession or monopoly policy because it spawned corruption. He awarded monopoly concessions to favoured individuals and

have negative consequences for the general school environment. Bullying can also have negative lifelong consequences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both for the pupils who bully and for their victims. A recent study indicates that a strong correlation exist between bullying other pupils during the school years and experiencing legal or criminal troubles as adults. Victims often fear school and consider school to be an unsafe and unhappy place. Bullying can also lead to depression, anxiety, sleeplessness and psychological problems among school-going children. A new type of bullying is cyber-bullying, which takes advantage of new technologies such as Facebook, Twitter, Mixit, voice mail and YouTube. We of course live in a violent society where brutality has become an everyday occurrence. The victims are in many instances too scared to speak out because of fear of intimidation and restarting the whole cycle of abuse and bullying. Whether the bullying is direct or indirect, the key component of bullying is that the physical or psychological intimidation occurs repeatedly over time to create an ongoing pattern of harassment and abuse. Authorities and parents must act in a firm manner to eradicate this scourge from our schools. There must be definite policies in place so that every child knows what the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy is about bullying and initiation. Effective interventions must involve the entire school community rather than focus on the perpetrators and victims alone. Parents are often unaware of the bullying problems and talk about it with their children to a limited extent.
BRIEWE
Briewe mag aan die Redakteur gerig word, Posbus 8261, Pretoria 0001, faks na 086-652-0378 of e-pos na editorial@rekord.co.za. Briewe mag nie langer as 200 woorde wees nie. Die Redakteur behou die reg om enige brief te wysig. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Skrywer mag onder â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n pennaam skryf, maar sy of haar volle name, adres en telefoonnommer moet die brief vergesel.

Ek verwys na AnĂŠ Roux se onlangse berig oor Rian van Heerden. Ek persoonlik kan die omroeper nie verdra nie en luister nou eerder na HoĂŤveld Stereo of RSG tot na 10:00. Daar is van Darren Scott ontslae geraak oor â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n rassistiese aanmerking by â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n geslote geselligheid, maar as Van Heeden neer-
halende opmerkings maak oor â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n vrou wat moontlik dood is, maar reageer as sy â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n piesang kry, of neerhalend verwys na gestremde kinders, is dit volgens die bestuur van Jakaranda aanvaarbaar solank hy â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n halfhartige verskoning aanbied. Soos sy trawant Ash sĂŞ, hy moet net klein woordjies gebruik. As dit die gehalte van Jakaranda se omroepers en bestuur is, dan moet die luisteraars maar eerder â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n ander stasie opsoek.

Inteendeel, party mense het heel voor in die ry getiteld â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onbeskofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gestaan. Ek het die naweek gaan inkopies doen.

Little one can do and there is no alternative Kim Michler writes: I was so glad to see that someone else also experienced the same frustration as I have regarding unabridged certificates, Fed-up with service, Rekord February 17. The bad news is that Luan has a long wait ahead. In March 2011, I applied for unabridged marriage and birth certificates for my parents, who are deceased, my sister and I. I am still waiting. I have been back to the Home Affairsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office three times since then but they are always busy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;processingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the requests. The last time I was at Home Affairs, I even gave them ad-
ditional information to assist in speeding up the process. A man said he would personally take the additional documents and my applications to head office the next week. This was last year. It is a good thing that I do not need these documents urgently. I am not expecting to get them anytime soon, as I have no confidence in the system. I understand the feeling of powerlessness. There is little that I, as the paying client, can do and there is no other alternative. It is time for someone to shake-up the entire process and get the system functioning properly again.

Film krap diep Afrikanerwonde weer oop Du P Martins Verraaiers is ’n rolprent vol emosionele dinamiet, wat in die diepste wese en die doodgeswygde skandes van die Afrikanergeskiedenis krap. Dit handel oor keuses wat diensontduikers, joiners of hensoppers tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog gemaak het en die gevolge daarvan. Kortweg, ’n lokettreffer. Dis ook ’n rolprent wat ’n mens laat wonder watter effek ou, oopgekrapte wonde op die hedendaagse kyker sal hê, want daar is nasate wat sal weet dat hul oupagrootjie ’n hensopper was en deur sy eie mense doodgeskiet is. Historiese gegewens oor die verskynsel van boereverraad in ons geskiedenis is skraps. Moontlik omdat historici, bedag op die skandvlek en lyding wat dit op nageslagte sou hê, verkies het om dit dood te swyg. Die uitvoerende vervaardiger, Piet de Jager, het in samewerking met Spier Films Londen, meer as ’n jaar gelede met die beplanning van Verraaiers begin. Hy was ook die vervaardiger van Roepman, wat ses nominasies, insluitende beste rolprent vir 2012, ontvang het. De Jager het gesê daar is diep in die geskiedenis gedelf om te verseker dat dít wat die kyker sien, hom in die tydsgewrig en problematiek van keuses wat gemaak is, sal kan verplaas. “Ons is terdeë bewus dat verraad, selfs vandag nog, ’n sensitiewe onderwerp is en daar sal seker diegene wees wat vir my kwaad gaan wees en ander wat
dit sal waardeer. Juis vanweë die sensitiwiteit het ons op ’n fiktiewe storie besluit en probeer ons met empatie die gebeure uitbeeld,” het hy gesê. Rekord het gaan kyk hoe van die tonele by die Willem Prinsloomuseum geskiet word. Opvallend was die intensiewe navorsing wat gedoen is om ’n lewensgetroue beeld te skep. Daar is by verskillende museums rondgekrap om die regte toerusting, kleredrag en gebruiksgoedere op die stel te hê. Van onskatbare waarde was die raad van Elrea Wessels, senior navorser van die Vrouemonument in Bloemfontein, wat self op die stel was om haar te vergewis dat alles lewensgetrou is. Van die rekwisiete soos die dodesel, poskantoor en winkeltjie, kompleet met sy eietydse negosieware, is replikas van wat werklik bestaan het. Met die skiet van een van die tonele by ’n bruilof met die landau’s en spaaiders en die gekraai van ’n hoenderhaan en gekloek van kalkoene, was dit net die filmen klanktoerusting wat ’n mens herinner het dat dit ’n rolprent, en nie die ware Jakob is, nie. Die verhaal van Verraaiers is gebaseer op die feitelike gegewens van Albert Blake se boek, Boereverraaiers. Dit speel af teen die agtergrond van die Anglo-Boereoorlog en die verskroeide aarde beleid van Kitchener en mense wat moedeloos met die oorlog geword het. Dit handel oor ’n kommandant en sy skoonseuns wat almal

op kommando is en daarna besluit om die wapens neer te lê. “In die rolprent werk ons met die redes vir keuses en ons kyk met empatie na die standpunte van hensoppers en bittereinders. Die regsintrige en hofverrigtinge het verskeie hoeke. Die oordeel van wat die regte of verkeerde beslissings is, los ons aan die kyker oor,” het De Jager gesê. Die regie word deur die deurwinterde regisseur Paul Eilers behartig. Die hoofspelers is Rika Sennet, Gys de Villiers, Andrew Thompson, Jacques Bessinger en Neil Bennet. Verraaiers sal na verwagting 13 Februarie 2013 vrygestel word.
Die winkeltjie, kompleet met sy weegskaal, is ’n presiese weergawe van ’n winkel wat tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog bestaan het.

Follow your wish-list when house hunting Due to the fact that the current property market offers buyers a wide selection of homes to choose from, the selection process can sometimes be tough. Adrian Goslett, CEO of Remax of Southern Africa, said while most buyers probably have a good idea of what they are looking for in a home, there are a few steps they should follow to help with their final selection. Make a wish-list. Goslett advised buyers to write down everything they need and want in a property. The first aspect buyers should consider when making their list, includes the type of property they prefer. “Buyers need to decide if they are looking for a free standing home, a cluster or a unit in a sectional-title complex or secure estate. Then they need to decide if they would like a home they can renovate or one they could move right into without changing a thing. A property in need of attention should have a lower asking price than one that’s fully renovated and a place that’s two or three years old will be cheaper than one that’s brand new,” said Goslett.
He said buyers should also determine the details in terms of the number of bedrooms they require and the entertainment and garden space they would need and more. The difference between wants and needs. Once a wish-list has been drawn up, Goslett recommended that buyers separate out items that fall into the wants category, which are the nice to haves but not essential, from those that fall into the needs category, which are specifications that the buyer cannot compromise on. Buyers need to determine whether or not they really need that swimming pool and a large stand, or if they could compromise by buying a smaller stand in an estate that has communal facilities, instead, for example. Work out affordability. Buyers need to figure out how much they would be able to afford on monthly costs, including bond repayments, maintenance, levies and rates and more. Since this exercise will undoubtedly impact on the type and size of a property that a buyer can actually afford, many buyers may choose to revisit their wants and needs
list after adding up the cost and change some items that impact most on the price. Pre-qualify for a bond. “By getting a pre-qualification on a bond, buyers will be able to determine whether or not they qualify for the necessary finance and will get an idea of the amount that the financial institution would be willing to lend,” he said. This, along with the step above, will determine the price range in which buyers can begin searching for properties. Choose the location. The emphasis on the importance of location remains as strong as ever. When looking at areas in which to purchase property, buyers should consider what locations they need to reach regularly, how they plan to travel there and how long the journey will take. Schools and other amenities will also play a large role in this step of the selection process for many buyers. Start the search. The internet is the ideal starting place to begin a house hunt. There are numerous

specialised websites that have easy searchable property listings. Property websites don’t always cover everything that is for sale in every area. Local newspapers are also good research tools for buyers. Buyers should also visit their local estate agents to ask what is coming onto the market, or drive around their favourite areas to spot any for sale boards going up. Most estate agents will also take note of a buyer’s specific requirements and will cross-reference this with properties the company has on their books. Choose a good estate agent. According to Goslett it is essential for a buyer to find an expert to work with. Ask for referrals and interview various candidates to ensure you select an agent that is professional, experienced and ethical. It is also best to select an agent that has good knowledge of the areas in which you are thinking of buying a property. Learn the real estate market. The more knowledge a buyer has about the property market in which they are thinking of buying, the more equipped they will be to make an informed decision.

Estelle Henderson, een van die komiteelede van die Sharks-ondersteunersklub van Pretoria geniet die geselskap van drie van die Sharks se staatmakerspelers. Van links is Jaques Botes, die man wat Vrydagaand die enigste drie gedruk het in die SupeRugby-wedstryd teen die Bulls, Charl McLeod en Meyer Bosman.
Klub kuier saam met Sharks Die Sharks-ondersteunersklub van Pretoria het vanjaar sommer vroeg begin met een van die hoogtepunte van hul sosiale kalender. DiĂŠ klub, wat reeds â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n paar honderd betaalde lede het, kon dit regkry om Vrydagaand na afloop van die SupeRugby-wedstryd tussen die Bulls en die Sharks die spelers van hul gunstelingspan by â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n hotel in Pretoria te onthaal.
Omdat die wedstryd eers teen 21:00 afgehandel is, het die funksie baie laat plaasgevind, maar vir elke ondersteuner van die Sharks wat dit bygewoon het, was dit die moeite werd om so lank te wag om hul helde te ontmoet. Toe die spelers uiteindelik opdaag, is daar heerlik gekuier, fotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geneem en handtekeninge gejag. Die klub het ook hul eie speler-van-die-wedstryd gekies en
diĂŠ eer het die Springbokvleuel, JP Petersen, te beurt geval. Hy is met â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n spesiale trofee beloon. Plaaslike ondersteuners van die Sharks wat belangstel om aan te sluit by diĂŠ klub, is welkom om navraag te doen. Die seisoen is nog lank en daar is nog heelwat bedrywighede wat vir hulle voorlĂŞ tot aan die einde van die jaar. Navrae: 076-045-8720.

Titans weer op dreef Koos Venter Die Nashua Titans het die afgelope naweek twee puik oorwinnings behaal in die nasionale MiWay Pro20-toernooi, wat hul posisie tot die tweede plek op die punteleer laat verstewig het. Hiermee het die manne in ligblou gewys dat hulle baie diepte het en hulle steeds een van die gunstelinge behoort te wees om hierdie reeks te wen, ten spyte daarvan dat topspelers soos die Morkelbroers, AB de Villiers en Faf du Plessis tans saam met die Proteas in Nieu-Seeland toer. Die Titans het boonop nog een wedstryd minder gespeel as die Knights, wat net drie punte voor hulle op die punteleer is. Vrydagaand in Durban het die Titans in ’n spannende wedstryd die Dolphins se telling van 167 met die laaste bal van die wedstryd verbygesteek om met ses paaltjies te wen. Jacques Rudolph was die groot held van hierdie wedstryd met sy 62 onoorwonne lopies van net 55 balle. Hy is in daardie laaste spannende boulbeurte ook goed bygestaan deur David
Wiese, wat 21 lopies van net tien balle gemoker het. Dit het twee viere en ’n ses ingesluit. Sondag se held teen die Impi’s in Benoni was die ou staatmaker, Roelof van der Merwe, wat weer gewys het dat die nasionale keurders waarskynlik té vinnig van hom vergeet het. Hy het eers die Impi’s se kolforde vernietig deur drie paaltjies te vat én ’n aandeel te hê in die uithardloop van Siya Simetu, voordat hy op nommer drie gaan kolf het vir die Titans, waar hy 30 lopies van 20 balle geslaan het. Die Titans, met Rudolph en Van der Merwe voor die penne en net een paaltjie plat, het die Impi’s se teiken reeds in die 16e boulbeurt verbygesteek vir ’n oorwinning met nege paaltjies. Rudolph se telling was 47, terwyl Henry Davids ook 55 bygedra het. Die Titans speel Woensdag teen die Knights in Bloemfontein, waarna hulle die naweek twee wedstryde afhandel. Vrydag kom die Lions in Centurion aan die beurt en Sondag speel hulle teen die Cape Cobras in Kaapstad, wanneer die tweede rondte van die reeks begin.

Bulls se jong bloed vul ervare spelers goed aan Koos Venter
Die Bulls se woelige loskopstut, Dean Greyling, het Vrydagaand teen die Sharks weer gewys dat hy ’n waardevolle baldraer op die veld kan wees. Hier dryf hy vorentoe met Werner Kryger en Deon Stegmann byderhand om te ondersteun. Foto: simondp@actionimage
Daar is vooraf bladsye vol geskryf oor al die topspelers wat Loftus Versfeld verlaat het, oor Heyneke Meyer se ontydige vertrek as direkteur van rugby en oor die nuwe pienk truie vir wegwedstryde. Al hierdie faktore en gepaardgaande bangmaakstories het blykbaar by Frans Ludeke, Pierre Spies en die Vodacom Bulls se span van 2012 verbygegaan, want Vrydagaand het hulle die seisoen puik begin met ’n vasbytvertoning en ’n 18-13-oorwinning teen die omgekrapte Sharks, wat vooraf beskou is as Suid-Afrika se spogspan in vanjaar se SupeRugby-toernooi. Die Bulls het inderdaad deur hul algehele vertoning gewys dat hulle dalk net die verrassingspakket van die toernooi kan wees.
Die jong en nuwe spelers in die groep het puik by die gevestigde en ervare manne ingepas en dit was juis die wyse waarop die Bulls gespeel het, wat ondersteuners moed sou gee vir die res van die toernooi. Die Sharks het Pretoria toe gekom met ’n puik span wat 12 internasionale spelers, 11 Springbokke en een Fransman, ingesluit het. Die Bulls was egter ’n onbekende faktor met jong manne en baie minder ervaring as die manne van Durban. Die wyse waarop die Bulls egter die basiese dinge op die veld reg kon doen en hoe hulle die Sharks voorlangs oorheers het, sou deurwinterde Bulls-ondersteuners moed gee vir die seisoen wat voorlê. Die Bulls en die Sharks het ook gewys dat daar min ander spanne is met soveel ondersteuners soos
hulle. Met die loting waarvolgens hulle die eerste agt wedstryde van die toernooi in Suid-Afrika sal speel (vyf op Loftus Versfeld), sal die Bulls ook die geleentheid hê om hul nuwe kombinasies goed te vestig, voor hulle in Australië en Nieu-Seeland gaan toer. Die Bulls se afrigters sal egter moet kopkrap om die beseerde buitesenter, Johann Sadie, vir die volgende paar weke te vervang. Sadie het blykbaar sy skouer beseer en is na net 13 minute in Vrydag se wedstryd teen die Sharks van die veld af. As Wynand Olivier hierdie week reg is, sal hy waarskynlik Saterdag buitesenter teen die Cheetahs speel. Andersins sal daar na Zane Kirchner gekyk word, terwyl Jurgen Visser waarskynlik heelagter sal speel.
