What have you planned for the Moms in your life this Sunday? Our sincere condolences to our mayor, Lulama Mvimbi and his family on the sudden and sad loss of his Mom, Nowandile Eunice (Mafeni) Mvimbi last Saturday. Here was a fine lady who urged her son to be the best and fairest he could in all his dealings and so gave us a wonderful humble and gentle, yet incredibly strong leader. Ald. Mvimbi shared at the recent State of Town Address last Friday how his Mom was probably the happiest citizen in the area with the upgrade of the Main street (since she felt it a disgrace that such a beautiful town should have had such a horrid Main street as it did for too many years and urged him to “fix” it.) We know that the family have many happy memories of the unique and wonderful character of her, and special times and occasions spent in her company. May the memories slowly fill the void she has left in your lives. All the kids and dads please Spoil the special ladies in your life this Mother’s day ! Make them feel amazing and appreciated.(Lots of good ideas in this edition.) Have a fabulous fun-filled week !

2 Sewell Street Plettenberg Bay, 6600 Notice No: 80/2010


Kranshoek Primêr Nuus

Uitgawe 12/10 Uit die Kantoor : Met ʼn verkorte kwartaal beteken dit dat daar baie werk nog voorlê voordat die Junie vakansie aanbreek. Die uitdagings wat skole met te kampe het; veral om geletterdheid en gesyferdheid ( litnum) te help ontwikkel vra baie uit die kort tydjie; maar dit is tog ʼn area wat aandag verg van alle partye betrokke. Die geletterdheid— en gesyferdheids vlakke verg ʼn bewuste intensie en poging om dit as kultuur te vestig. Grade 3, 6 en 9 sal ʼn eksterne toets in November hierdie vermoëns getoets hê deur die department van onderwys. Leerders moet baie lees, m.a.w. meer tyd met boeke spandeer as televisie. Hierdie tipe gewoontes word gekweek deur dit daagliks te beoefen; bv. Tyd in die biblioteek te spandeer; boeke uit te neem; gesels oor die temas en hoofkarakters so ook ander karakters bv. Wat help om die verhaal interessant te maak; skryf stukkies wat sou help om as literatuur stuk in die Bitou 10 tydskrif gepubliseer word of in skryfstukkies binne skryfboeke. Voorspoed aan elke leerder. 2. Alles en nog wat... Met die kwartaal wat net ʼn bietjie meer of minder as ʼn maand oud is, is daar uit die aard van die saak geen tyd om te mors nie. Ons gesels vandag weer na ʼn blaaskans van twee weke. Nog steeds is die hele land sokkermal, maar ons moet klaar begin kyk na wanneer die sokker verby is. So leerders en opvoerders kom ons geniet die Wêreldbeker, maar nou terseldertyd ons oë op die akademie. Maak baie plek vir speel in die klaskamer en speel buite die klaskamer. Dit is ons Wêreldbeker en ons almal moet kan sê: “ek was daar!” 3. Sport : Ons het die vorige twee weke verpligtinge gehad teen Formosa en Phakamisani en dit het nie plaasgevind nie op grond van versoeke van genoemde skole. Ons huisves die week Harkerville Primêr in ʼn historiese wedstryd, histories in die sin dat dit die eerste keer is dat ons Harkerville ontvang. Ons sien uit daarna en sal volgende week volledig verslag doen. Ons wil ook Lee Urtis Kamfer en Laurestin Ellenbrugh geluk wens met hul insluiting in die 0/13 Streekspan wat verder gesif gaan word vir die S.W.D. span. Alles van die beste boys. 4. Abet : Weereens wil ons alle Abet– studente in die Bitou en spesifiek die Kranshoek– leerders aanmoedig om hard te werk. Alle nuwe inskrywings kan gedoen word by die Munisipale kantoor, maar ʼn moet haas maak, want die tyd is

Snippets for the Week

by Heidi We have received such beautiful clothing from everyone who donated this past week. This has really helped our fund. I have managed to sell an average of almost R500 each day, that I have been at the taxi rank. With just 10 or so items, we are able to spay a dog, bringing us closer to what we have set out to do – get the dog population under control. A special thank you to

WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT – 6 MAY 2010

everyone who donated. Shoes and linen sell like hot cakes. Winter clothing is also now in demand. Please have a good clean out and drop off any unwanted items at Pandora’s Box, or at any of the Vets in our area. For every bag you donate, you are actually paying for a spay, thus preventing hundred of puppies being born. We really need to get a Bitou Community Veterinary Clinic Charity Shop in place. This will enable us to have a permanent income, to help the animals on a daily basis. Not a day goes by, without a dog needing help. Because the dogs are not inoculated, they don’t stand much of a chance when they contract the Parvo Virus or Distemper. I have a list of 22 puppies needing their vaccines, but the owners do not have the money to pay. A year ago, few were aware of vaccines for their animals, yet today I am asked about vaccines daily. Good to know the people are becoming more concerned regarding the welfare of their pets. These are the wanted ones. I am collecting unwanted animals daily. Some families have as many as 6 dogs on their property. Only about 20% of these animals are

Rather sad when people just start filling the bakkie with dogs. When I ask why they don’t want their pet, it’s either they steal food, they have puppies, the dog just arrived there, or they bite.

Bitou’s Water Quality third best in the Country

The Department of Water Affairs initiated the drinking water quality (DWQ) regulation in 2005 with the objective of ensuring water quality improvement of tap water quality by means of compliance monitoring. The blue drop certification programme is only in its second year of existence and promises to be catalyst for sustainable improvement in South Africa’s drinking water standards and management in its entirety. Background The blue drop requirements increased from 6 to 9 in criteria. Water Safety Plans, Asset Management and DWQ Performance Publication were introduced as new requirements and accumulatively accounted for 25% of the weighting. The other requirements are Process Control and Maintenance Competency, efficiency of drinking water quality monitoring programme, credibility of drinking water sample analysis, regular submission of drinking water quality results to DWA, drinking water compliance with SANS,

drinking water quality failure response management, responsible publication of drinking water quality management performance, efficacy of basic drinking water quality asset management. Bitou Local Municipality came out third out of the top ten best blue drop performers in the country, and came out second in the Western Cape Province. The City of Johannesburg and Cape Town Metro were first and second nationally respectively and the City of Cape Town came out first in the Western Cape Province. The Municipal Blue Drop score was 97, 7 overall, with all three of the Bitou Water Treatment works acquiring blue drop status. This incredible performance during assessment warranted the allocation of the prestigious award to all the three water systems. The score signifies that the municipality is managing its water quality with excellence and that the supply water system qualifies for blue drop certification. The Bitou Municipality acquired six awards, namely, for: Retaining Blue Drop Status Water Safety Plan 3 Awards for each of Water Purification Works in Bitou 3rd Overall in the country out of 787 Water Purification Works in

the country that were assessed. Most noteworthy of this performance is the effort by the municipality to draft their own Water Safety Plan without specialist assistance. It was most commendable and serves as motivation to other municipalities that good and effective safety water plans could be drafted by those who know their system best. This means that DWA is confident that the water services institution is capable of sustaining safe quality of water supply. The Municipal Services and Infrastructure Department will act responsibly not to deviate but maintain water quality through continuous efficient operations and compliance monitoring.

Bitou Business Buzz

MORE ABOUT WATER...on March 31 - 2010 - the Bitou Municipality was in a crisis status with a three months supply of water left. It became imperative to identify an additional water supply. Desalination was the obvious choice and with the R20 million from government allocated to Bitou the Council took action. With the result that all the necessary studies including environmental legislation are in

Two sites were identified namely the ground next to the BI hotel 3rd tennis court and in the Poortjies area. It seems likely that the BI hotel area is the preferred location. The ground on which the tennis court was built belongs to the Municipality and will therefore not create a problem. The architect has designed a building, in which the operation will take place, aware that it must be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. The amount allocated will decide on how much can be spent on the appearance of the structure. There is even a suggestion that the plant could attract tourism. In view of this windows will be build to allow people to look inside the building. The Municipality is fortunate to have been able to learn from the Sedgefield and Knysna experiences especially as far as the dumping of the concentrated brine is concerned.

Dear Friends in Plett and Knysna, After 2,5 weeks of sedation and many hours in theatre, Dominic started coming out of the darkness and has slowly over the last week been trying to reconnect mind, body and soul. The accident really shattered his whole being. However, we are happy to see that every day he has been making progress. From being totally confused, speaking inappropriately, to asking questions and improving his short-term memory. He is practising with an occupational therapist to improve his cognitive skills. On an emotional level, this incident has made him very scared and worried, but also truly grateful and gentle. He is expressing so much love and

In Memoriam Grant Windvogel 20-09-1976 - 06-05-2000 In loving memory of our only son and brother Grant, who passed away 10 yrs ago. Fondly remembered by Edgar, Joan, Tanya and Gail and their families

tender thoughts in his vulnerable, helpless state, it amazes me how much grace we manage to find in pain. Physically, he had one small extra hurdle to overcome, because when he became conscious, he complained of pain in his left wrist., whereupon another x-ray showed that it was in fact also fractured. So he had another op on 27.4. to put plate into wrist and also plate into left collarbone, which was not healing in the position it was expected to. So for now all ops are done, and he needs to regain strength and lots of weight. We have decided, upon recommendation of the specialists, to send Dominic to the Aurora Hospital in Port Elizabeth for rehabilitation. Even though its far away, it really is the best place for him now. He will get all the help from psychologists, speech and occupational therapy, physio and will also be able to do WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT – 6 MAY 2010

exercises in a heated pool, which will be marvellous, because he may not put weight onto the broken leg for 6 weeks. Being a swimmer, surfer, sailer, I think he will love floating around in warm water. The plan is to transport him there on Mon 3. May. Our Dominic was literally standing on the edge of the nest on 5. April, ready to spread his wings and fly out of the nest into the big world. In a flash his life changed, and he is now on a long, patient journey, which as always is an opportunity for growth on many different levels and for all of us. We will continue to take one step at a time and see where it takes us. But one thing I know for sure - Dominic and we are very lucky and extremely grateful, that he did not injure his spine and also that he will not have permanent brain damage. Under the circumstances the damage could have been much more severe. With time and all our love and support, Dominic is progressing towards a full recovery. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our younger son, Tarquin, who also had a big operation on both knees in Stellenbosch on the 16. April (an op that was planned long ago) is at home in a wheelchair for 6 weeks, with his legs straight and in braces. The limited mobility is frustrating, but he is accepting and positive. He's become quite adept with his lambourgini and is happy to have invested in his own computer. Our Plett community has again

"For the first time in my life I am on the receiving end of so much emotional, financial and practical support in a time of need, that I struggle to find the words to truly express how much strength it has given me. Sometimes I have been surprised, hearing myself speaking with such confidence and trust to Dominic, reassuring him like I knew for sure, everything will be fine. A huge thank you to: 1. All Dom's friends who supported Thomas Maurer's initiative for the Surf Competition. 2. The many sponsors from Plett who gave prizes towards this event.

Join the Dance!

Circle Dancing Workshop comes to Plettenberg Bay The circle is probably the oldest dance formation. It is found in the dances of many cultures, such as African, Eastern European, Irish and American Indian. Circle dancing is for participation and enjoyment. Most of the dances are simple, repetitive sequences, easily learnt by children and adults, and allowing the emphasis to be on the whole experience rather than on technique. Today there are Circle Dance groups world wide. In addition to the traditional dances, new ones are being created all the time and

dancers alike. You are sure to have an uplifting dance experience that is fun and memorable.nd Date: Saturday, 22 May 2010 Venue: St Peter’s Anglican Church Hall Time: 09.00 to 16.00 Cost: Whatever you can afford between R80 to R200. (If you need assistance with the fee, please

Dear Friends in Plett and Knysna, After 2,5 weeks of sedation and many hours in theatre, Dominic started coming out of the darkness and has slowly over the last week been trying to reconnect mind, body and soul. The accident really shattered his whole being. However, we are happy to see that every day he has been making progress. From being totally confused, speaking inappropriately, to asking questions and improving his short-term memory. He is practising with an occupational therapist to improve his cognitive skills. On an emotional level, this incident has made him very scared and worried, but also truly grateful and gentle. He is expressing so much love and

In Memoriam Grant Windvogel 20-09-1976 - 06-05-2000 In loving memory of our only son and brother Grant, who passed away 10 yrs ago. Fondly remembered by Edgar, Joan, Tanya and Gail and their families

tender thoughts in his vulnerable, helpless state, it amazes me how much grace we manage to find in pain. Physically, he had one small extra hurdle to overcome, because when he became conscious, he complained of pain in his left wrist., whereupon another x-ray showed that it was in fact also fractured. So he had another op on 27.4. to put plate into wrist and also plate into left collarbone, which was not healing in the position it was expected to. So for now all ops are done, and he needs to regain strength and lots of weight. We have decided, upon recommendation of the specialists, to send Dominic to the Aurora Hospital in Port Elizabeth for rehabilitation. Even though its far away, it really is the best place for him now. He will get all the help from psychologists, speech and occupational therapy, physio and will also be able to do WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT – 6 MAY 2010

exercises in a heated pool, which will be marvellous, because he may not put weight onto the broken leg for 6 weeks. Being a swimmer, surfer, sailer, I think he will love floating around in warm water. The plan is to transport him there on Mon 3. May. Our Dominic was literally standing on the edge of the nest on 5. April, ready to spread his wings and fly out of the nest into the big world. In a flash his life changed, and he is now on a long, patient journey, which as always is an opportunity for growth on many different levels and for all of us. We will continue to take one step at a time and see where it takes us. But one thing I know for sure - Dominic and we are very lucky and extremely grateful, that he did not injure his spine and also that he will not have permanent brain damage. Under the circumstances the damage could have been much more severe. With time and all our love and support, Dominic is progressing towards a full recovery. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our younger son, Tarquin, who also had a big operation on both knees in Stellenbosch on the 16. April (an op that was planned long ago) is at home in a wheelchair for 6 weeks, with his legs straight and in braces. The limited mobility is frustrating, but he is accepting and positive. He's become quite adept with his lambourgini and is happy to have invested in his own computer. Our Plett community has again

JAMES FABER ELECTRICAL domestic & commercial maintenance & installations 072 865 9062 expressed so much compassion and support for us - I am extremely grateful. "For the first time in my life I am on the receiving end of so much emotional, financial and practical support in a time of need, that I struggle to find the words to truly express how much strength it has given me. Sometimes I have been surprised, hearing myself speaking with such confidence and trust to Dominic, reassuring him like I knew for sure, everything will be fine. A huge thank you to: 1. All Dom's friends who supported Thomas Maurer's initiative for the Surf Competition. 2. The many sponsors from Plett who gave prizes towards this event.

Dear Friends in Plett and Knysna, After 2,5 weeks of sedation and many hours in theatre, Dominic started coming out of the darkness and has slowly over the last week been trying to reconnect mind, body and soul. The accident really shattered his whole being. However, we are happy to see that every day he has been making progress. From being totally confused, speaking inappropriately, to asking questions and improving his short-term memory. He is practising with an occupational therapist to improve his cognitive skills. On an emotional level, this incident has made him very scared and worried, but also truly grateful and gentle. He is expressing so much love and

In Memoriam Grant Windvogel 20-09-1976 - 06-05-2000 In loving memory of our only son and brother Grant, who passed away 10 yrs ago. Fondly remembered by Edgar, Joan, Tanya and Gail and their families

tender thoughts in his vulnerable, helpless state, it amazes me how much grace we manage to find in pain. Physically, he had one small extra hurdle to overcome, because when he became conscious, he complained of pain in his left wrist., whereupon another x-ray showed that it was in fact also fractured. So he had another op on 27.4. to put plate into wrist and also plate into left collarbone, which was not healing in the position it was expected to. So for now all ops are done, and he needs to regain strength and lots of weight. We have decided, upon recommendation of the specialists, to send Dominic to the Aurora Hospital in Port Elizabeth for rehabilitation. Even though its far away, it really is the best place for him now. He will get all the help from psychologists, speech and occupational therapy, physio and will also be able to do WHAT'S NEW IN PLETT – 6 MAY 2010

exercises in a heated pool, which will be marvellous, because he may not put weight onto the broken leg for 6 weeks. Being a swimmer, surfer, sailer, I think he will love floating around in warm water. The plan is to transport him there on Mon 3. May. Our Dominic was literally standing on the edge of the nest on 5. April, ready to spread his wings and fly out of the nest into the big world. In a flash his life changed, and he is now on a long, patient journey, which as always is an opportunity for growth on many different levels and for all of us. We will continue to take one step at a time and see where it takes us. But one thing I know for sure - Dominic and we are very lucky and extremely grateful, that he did not injure his spine and also that he will not have permanent brain damage. Under the circumstances the damage could have been much more severe. With time and all our love and support, Dominic is progressing towards a full recovery. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our younger son, Tarquin, who also had a big operation on both knees in Stellenbosch on the 16. April (an op that was planned long ago) is at home in a wheelchair for 6 weeks, with his legs straight and in braces. The limited mobility is frustrating, but he is accepting and positive. He's become quite adept with his lambourgini and is happy to have invested in his own computer. Our Plett community has again

JAMES FABER ELECTRICAL domestic & commercial maintenance & installations 072 865 9062 expressed so much compassion and support for us - I am extremely grateful. "For the first time in my life I am on the receiving end of so much emotional, financial and practical support in a time of need, that I struggle to find the words to truly express how much strength it has given me. Sometimes I have been surprised, hearing myself speaking with such confidence and trust to Dominic, reassuring him like I knew for sure, everything will be fine. A huge thank you to: 1. All Dom's friends who supported Thomas Maurer's initiative for the Surf Competition. 2. The many sponsors from Plett who gave prizes towards this event.

Bitou Executive Mayor hand delivered the address on the

State of the Town

Friday evening many residents from all the corners of Bitou municipality were gathered at Piesang Valley Hall, where they came for the Mayoral State Address. The chairs were filled and the hall was full to capacity at 18H15 for the event started at 19H00. The Jazz band “Take Note” from PE kept the people entertained as the music took them in the world of Jimmy Dludlu and other jazz legends, the sound of saxophone was powerful in a way that no matter how hard you put your foot on the ground, it made you step it up and down wit the rhythm and the head moves forward and backwards without noticing what you are doing. Then later a lady came to join the band on vocals, what a beautiful sweet voice with a Xhosa song “Ndicel’ ubuye sthandwa sam. After the band Bitou executive mayor arrived with his wife, deputy mayor and Bitou councilors accompanied by military men who were parading then the national anthem was sung lead by Kika Opera Monstrances who’ll host a concert this coming Sunday evening at the same venue. After the introduction of the VIP guests that included the mayor of Mogale City Mr. Kelvin Serame (who never missed any of the Bitou state of the town address) and Prt St. Johns municipality manager Mr. Zola Hewu and councilors,. The program director Cllr. L. Luiters did not waste time as he called upon Mr. Lulama Mvimbi to proceed with state of the town speech which everybody was looking forward to. He was welcomed by a praise singer. Ald. Mvimbi reminded the residents about the historical incidents that

happened in April, the brutality of Salemon Mahlangu, Mandela was elected as first democratic president in April, the Freedom charter turned 57 years old this April. He also reminded people of his first experience of democratic elections of 1994, 27 April. He continued by reporting on the promises the were made in 2007, as they accepted the responsibility of water and electricity attachment to people and the total eradication of the bucket system in Bitou municipality. He promised people that as many houses were built in Plett, they are still going to build more RDP houses and pleaded with people to stop attaching shacks at their backyard as it kills the dignity of the houses and also caused fire. He urged them to build on with bricks. He encouraged people not to sell RDP houses. He then went on to talk of progress in Kwanokuthula, spoke about the

Central Library and Justice centre to be built in New Horizons etc. He informed people of how impressed other places are with Bitou municipality’s ways of doing things as one district in northwest had adopted Bitou system and many municipalities are learning from Bitou municipality. After the mayoral speech the guests were entertained by the popular diski dance before being blown away by the very good performance by Iphupha theatre group performing a play called Thembalabantu Ville directed by local Godfather of theatre Mcedisi Maurice Ncedani and played by talented actors from the old Masimanyane and Lunch Box Theatre.
