MANDRAX TRAFFICKING: SUSPECTS OUT ON BAIL

Six busted for drugs NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

S

ix people, including a prominent suspected gang leader, appeared in court last week in a huge drug trafficking bust, which happened mostly in parts of Bellville and Durbanville.

Jerome “Donkie” Booysen (55), Kenneth Hansen (53), Kristo Mariens (26), Clinton Langeveld, Jennen Jesmene Jansen (39) and Herbert Zoutman (52) appeared in the Bellville magistrate’s court last Thursday after handing themselves over.

Five of the accused reside in either Glenhaven or in Bellville South. Zoutman stays in Belhar.

According to Hawks spokesperson Col Katlego Mogale they are believed to be “the primary dealers in and distributors of illegal drugs in the province”.

The State claims the accused, with Booysen in the lead, dealt in drugs (Methaqualone/Mandrax) from February 2013 to November 2017.

These dealings took place at houses across the northern suburbs, mostly in Bellville (including Glenhaven, De La Haye, Labiance and Stikland), Brackenfell, Kuils River and Durbanville.

They stand accused on charges of the contravention of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (Poca), as well as numerous charges of “dealing in undesireable dependence

producing substances”.

The State names Booysen and Hansen as the main accused and say Booysen played a managing role in the operations.

“The suspects were arrested after handing themselves over following an intelligencedriven operation by the Western Cape serious organised crime investigation unit of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation on suspicion of drug and drug trafficking activities,” Mogale said.

The six were granted bail of between R5 000 and R30 000.

Booysen was released on R30 000 bail.

The National Prosecution Authority’s spokesperson, Eric Ntabazalila, says the State argued for R40 000, “but the presiding

officer set it at R30 000.”

Hansen was released on R20 000 and Kristo Mariens, Clinton Langeveld, Jennen Jansen and Herbert Zoutman were all released on R5 000 bail.

“The reason behind the different bail amounts is that the first two accused were managers and participants in the criminal enterprise. The rest of the accused were participants.”

The case was postponed to 29 April for further investigation.

Booysen was also arrested in December last year along with businessman Mark Lifman and others in connection with the murder of Brian Wainstein, a suspected steroid smuggler.

More people opt for Ivermectin treatment DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

W

ith the imminent threat of a third wave of the pandemic and much uncertainty about the vaccine rollout, more and more people are turning to what they see as their only option: Ivermectin an antiparasitic veterinary medicine.

In South Africa the product is not registered for use in humans yet, as is the case in countries such as India and Brazil where it is indicated for use against tropical diseases in humans.

However, the Gauteng High Court in February held that doctors are now allowed to import the human formulation of the medicine to treat patients with Ivermectin at their own discretion, but only after having applied to do so in terms of a section 21 application of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act. In Cape Town, you don’t have to venture out far to find roundtable discussions about the prevalence of the use of the product (in its animal formulation).

Personal anecdotes are plenty, and mostly positive.

Local businessman Nicky Swart from Joostenbergvlakte started using Ivermectin three months ago as a preventative measure and has experienced no side effects.

He says he fears Covid much more than he fears Ivermectin and has much confidence in the medicine.

Working in the farming industry, he was supplied with a small bottle of Ivermectin by a nearby farmer since the drug is sold out at most farming cooperatives.

“I’m getting on in years and it scares me to read in every newspaper and hear of so many people dying every day of Covid. I use it mainly as a preventative measure. There is nothing else I can take at this stage, so I will gladly take my chances with Ivermectin. I feel great,” he says.

He says he is aware of many people who are using it as a preventative measure.

A local health care worker, who does not want to be identified, also started dosing herself with Ivermectin about a month ago, following her own spat with Covid-19.

“I never want to have Covid again. Lucki-

ly, I did not need to go to hospital but was hopefully set to start soon, one in the Free very sick for many weeks, worse than any State and perhaps one being led by Stellenflu I have ever had,” she told TygerBurger bosch University.

Hond uit mangat gered NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

H

ondeienaars van Vredenberg het ’n nagmerrie-ondervinding gehad toe hul driejarige boerboel verlede week in ’n mangat geval het.

Rudie Philander, kadet-inspekteur van die Kaap de Goeie Hoop Dierebeskermingsvereniging (DBV), vertel op die DBV se webblad hoe hy hom na die toneel moes haas nadat die hond, Caesar, in ’n rioolmangat van sowat 5 m geval het.

Raymond en Deidre Bower het vroeër vir Caesar na die park geneem waar hy dikwels rondhardloop, sê André Foot, ’n buurtwagpatrolleerder.

Aangesien daar nie ander honde in die park was nie, het die Bowers sy leiband afgehaal. Caesar, wat tussen 60 en 90 kg weeg, het rondgehardloop, maar nie gesien daar is ’n oop mangat nie en ingeval.

Teen die tyd dat Philander op die toneel gekom het, was die Stad se brand- en reddingsdienste reeds daar. ’n Buurman het gehelp met verskillende groottes harnasse.

Caesar en Raymond was in daardie stadium albei minstens kniediep in die water in die mangat en albei angstig. Caesar was geskok en het al hoe dieper afgesak.

Ceasar Rudie Philander, kadet-inspekteur van die Kaap de Goeie Hoop Dierebeskermingsvereniging (DBV), is met modder besmeer nadat hy gehelp het om die hond te red.

“Die eienaar (Raymond) het uitgeklim en ek het afgeklim om die hond te kalmeer en ook om die toue om sy borskas te herposisioneer,” sê Philander.

Hy het weer uitgeklim en gehelp om Caesar uit die mangat op te hys.

Caesar is nie beseer nie, maar is agterna deur ’n veearts ondersoek.

Call for schools to support educational campaign Primary schools around the world are being invited to join a ground-breaking health educational campaign.

Fast Heroes, supported and endorsed by the World Stroke Organization, is being rolled out globally, with a mission to recruit a million children to help save their grandparents.

The award-winning Fast Heroes campaign seeks to use children between the ages of five and nine years as the catalyst to help improve recognition of the signs of stroke, as well as the need for speedy action.

Leveraging their amazing enthusiasm for learning and sharing, children are encouraged to spread knowledge to the rest of their family, particularly their grandparents.

The educational resources are fun, engaging, and interactive, teaching children about empathy and love, as well as providing practical life-saving skills.

Sheila Martins, neurology professor and president elect of the World Stroke Organization, says, “One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime, and worldwide, it is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability. However, it is treatable. People who have a stroke need access to high quality acute care as quickly as possible, so increasing awareness of the key symptoms is vital. Children can help make a real difference by sparking interest among their wider family. The overarching aim is to help ensure that when stroke strikes, grandparents can survive with their lives intact thanks to effective and fast treatment.”

Jan van der Merwe, who heads up the Fast Heroes campaign, says, “Schools can get involved at the level that’s right for them – from implementing the programme in classrooms, through to remote learning options

Skryf in vir Bybelskool

where children and their families can participate from home. They can access free resources, help take part in a Guinness World Records attempt, and win great prizes by competing with other schools in their region.

“It’s a great chance to get involved in something special for an important cause.”

Van der Merwe adds, “The initiative recognises that promoting health education from early childhood through the school setting would benefit not only the children themselves, but also their families, peers and their wider communities. Let’s help make every school a health promoting school, because together we can save the world – one child and one grandparent at a time.”

Die Stad Kaapstad se ontwikkelingbestuurskema (DMS), wat ’n bylae by die Stad Kaapstad: Verordening op Munisipale Beplanning, 2015 (MPBL) is, is van toepassing op alle grond binne die geografiese gebied van die Stad, insluitende grond in staatsbesit.

Elke grondeenheid in die Stad het ’n sonering. Die DMS bepaal, onder andere, die grondgebruike en ontwikkelingsreëls vir alle sonerings, met ander woorde die doel waarvoor grond regtens gebruik word of mag word en die bepalings, beperkings en/of voorwaardes wat die toelaatbare grootte van die grondgebruik ten opsigte van ’n sonering bepaal. Dit bepaal ook die toepaslike omskrywings, vertolkings, algemene bepalings en oorlegsonerings.

Artikel 27 van die MPBL bepaal dat die DMS minstens elke vyf jaar na die aanvang van die MPBL hersien moet word. Die Stad is van voorneme om die DMS nou ingevolge hierdie artikel te hersien en terselfdertyd die MPBL te hersien.

Ingevolge artikel 17 van die Wet op Plaaslike Regering: Munisipale Stelsels, Wet 32 van 2000, word die publiek en belangstellende groepe of partye die geleentheid gebied om van 22 Februarie tot 23 April 2021 kommentaar of voorstelle in te dien wat tydens die hersieningsproses in ag geneem sal word.

Kommentaar of voorstelle oor die hersieningsproses moet ooreenstem met goedgekeurde Raadsbeleide, -planne, -strategieë en die geïntegreerde ontwikkelingsplan. Vir nog inligting: www.capetown.gov.za/policies. Die hersieningsproses kan nie die sonering van enige grondeenheid in die Stad verander nie, maar kan, onder andere, wysigings aan toepaslike ontwikkelingsreëls.

Na alle kommentaar en voorstelle hersien en geëvalueer is, sal ’n hersieningsverslag aan die Raad voorgelê word waarin, onder andere, die reaksies op kommentaar en voorstelle wat ontvang is, uiteengesit word. Die Raad sal dan ’n aanbeveling maak oor watter van daardie kommentaar en voorstelle formeel verder gevoer sal word, en ’n verdere openbaredeelnameproses sal onderneem word sodra ’n konsepwysigingsverordening opgestel is.

Kommentaar en voorstelle wat tydens die hersieningsproses in ag geneem sal word, kan gerig word aan Schalk de Jager by: E-pos: lums@capetown.gov.za Webwerf: www.capetown.gov.za/haveyoursay Die Stad se eenheid vir openbare deelname sal mense wat nie kan lees of skryf nie, mense wat met gestremdhede leef en mense uit benadeelde groepe wat nie skriftelike kommentaar of voorstelle kan indien nie, help om hul kommentaar of voorstelle aan te teken en by die Stad in te dien.

New field worker joins the VRCID team W

ith the growing number of homeless and vulnerable people in Bellville and Parow, social development and upliftment remains a priority for the Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District (VRCID), the organisation says.

Tonio Gantana, a new field worker, has been appointed and will work together with field workers Allistair Scholtz and Veronica Geduld to liaise with street people.

Under the management of Wilma Piek, head of the VRCID’s social development team, together with Mould Empower Serve (Mes) and other partner organisations and

NGOs, provide much-needed services to the homeless and vulnerable.

The necessity and demand for social development services has increased exponentially since the pandemic started.

As a result, the VRCID and partners moved their emphasis towards social development services. They served 81 900 meals to the homeless and vulnerable during the 50 days of lockdown levels 4 and 5, and saw a 1 375% increase in job creation for Mes workers from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 – among many other successes.

“Our fieldworkers are the most important component to engage

with the street-based people – to meet them where they are at and to offer them assistance,” comments Wilma Piek, VRCID’s Social Development Manager.

Gantana says, “Just this morning, when I was out in the field, we helped a homeless woman bypass the long queues to get her Covid-19 test required to book into the temporary housing structure Paint City – all in under two hours. This was due to the incredible networks that the VRCID team have created, which allows you to make a difference in people’s lives. We become agents of change, and that’s what makes it all worth it.”

The VRCID’s social field workers are from left, Allistair Scholtz, Veronica Geduld and Tonio Gantan.

Taxi violence claims three NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk

O

ne person has been arrested after a shooting that killed three people in Bellville last

week.

The incident is believed to be related to taxi disputes which have plagued the area over the past few years, killing multiple people.

Bystanders looked on in shock last Wednesday when at least one gunman fired at people on both Voortrekker and Charl Malan Roads.

Footage taken at the scene shows a body lying in Voortrekker Road, as police investigate the scene.

Another body lies about 100m further, around the corner in Charl Malan Road. Around 50m on, in Charl Malan Road, a paramedic tries to save the life of a third person in vain. The Western Cape’s transport minister, Bonginkosi

TM

Madikizela, condemned the violence. A total of 116 lives were claimed due to taxi violence in the Western Cape in 2020. “Enforcement and transport au­thorities will do everything possible to ensure that commuter safety is prioritised.”

He called on law-abiding taxi operators to identify the criminals – “hitmen and paymasters who tarnish the image of an industry and of operators who seek to earn a living through offering a much needed service to the poor.”

Col Andre Traut, provincial police spokesperson, says a suspect (32) was arrested after the shooting and is being questioned.

“Two stolen firearms were recovered after the incident, and three licensed firearms were confiscated for further investigation.”

Traut asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111. . In November 2019 Tyhilile El-

liot Mqhele, vice-chair of the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata’s) Bellville chapter was gunned down across the road from Tafelberg Furnishers in Durban Road. . On 8 June 2020 three people were arrested after a man (60) was shot multiple times while sitting in a car near the taxi rank. This followed another murder a week before in the same area. At that time there were 25 taxi-related murders and 11 cases of attempted murders in the province. . In August to September at least four separate shootings happened close to the rank itself and three commuters were caught in the crossfire. Seven were arrested.

In Bellville South, at least two taxis were set alight. The number of murders shot up to 56 with 32 attempted murders. Madikizela threatens to close the rank if violence continues.

Theft thwarted: Sgts Flip Davids (left) and John Oersen recently received a tip-off from the community about cable theft in Railway Street, Bellville South. The two policemen rushed to the scene and found a white bakkie with copper cable on the back that was 27 metres long. A 33-year-old man was arrested for theft. The copper cable is the property of Prasa. “Detectives are investigating and hoping to link them to other cases,” a police spokesperson says. “This type of crime hampers service delivery and affects commuters utilising the railway services. Anyone with information regarding theft of cables from essential service departments should call the police on 10111.”

THINKING OUT LOUD

LEWENSKIEKIE

Teach kids to respect all women I recently had a conversation with my housemate’s 14-year-old niece while watching Oscar Pistorius: The Blade Runner Killer.

It’s an unofficial biopic based on public records about model, Reeva Steenkamp and former Olympic champ, Oscar Pistorius’ relationship which had a tragic ending back in 2003.

From the minute this movie started, the young one seated next to me made it known that the female lead character would ignore all the red flags and stay in an abusive relationship to remain relevant to the public.

Of course this young girl did not know anything about the love story of Reeva and Oscar, thus her observations were purely uninfluenced.

As the movie progressed to its climax (poorly so, might I add) I noted my partner’s disapproval of the female lead’s disregard of the abusive treatment she received from her lover, much to her annoyance.

“It will end in tears,” she says.

“Women put themselves through hell for this love thing,” she adds.

Delving further towards the climax, the little girl tells me that she kind of feels sorry for Reeva because she was so in love with this “imperfectlyperfect” man (yep, her words), that she died for him.

“If this is what love is, then I would rather die alone.”

This made me think a bit, what will it take for us to teach girls that their lives matter and no man has the right to raise their hand or voice at them?

Where does that leave the boy child?

When do we start teaching them that raising a hand to women is wrong?

The answer to the questions above, I guess, starts with showing programmes that address these issues.

If movies or even TV programmes such as The Blade Runner Killer gets televised more, then maybe children will learn from an early age that gender-based violence is a serious issue and should not be tolerated.

Kids are easy to influence and this would be a perfect way to detest GBV and start to learn ways to become admirable men.

These programmes would also be perfect in teaching life and leadership skills which would be able to carry them through life. This is important as it builds character and makes it easier to take the right decisions.

Of course, age restrictions should apply when broadcasting these programmes in order to not leave the young viewers traumatised, but this should be done in such a way that the message is clear to understand.

We are often told that one has to be harsh to be kind and this is one of those times this phrase is relevant.

If this is done right, then young people will have a brighter future paved for them.

I tell you now, this has the power to put an end to the ongoing abuse and killing of women we have come to live with in recent years.

It is up to us to start the process to changing how men treat women every day in this country.

Maybe young girls will learn that having a male figure next to you, no matter how rich, is not more important than their lives.

Maybe boys will begin to frown upon such acts and grow to become men of honour and integrity. – Itumeleng Mokwa

GBV on the rise in SA I often wonder, how is femicide still an issue in today’s day and age? What is it about the concept of women’s equality and power, that is so difficult to accept?

Why are women still getting raped and murdered every three hours in South Africa for being the “weaker sex”, the “submissive gender” or the “lesser partner” in relationships?

I would love to love my country, but South Africa does not love me. South Africa is rated among the most violent countries on Earth, and from 2019-2020 saw a 1.4% increase in murders according to the latest annual police report.

And women are the target – I am five times more likely to be raped or murdered than any other woman around the world.

Maybe the poor standard of education in South Africa is to blame. For our society has no understanding of basic self-governance; life is unfair, and no, you actually can’t just take and do whatever you want (especially if it involves another individual’s life).

Yes, culture and religion come into play, but in our “free” country women should have the authority to break away from those who cause them fatal harm. This should be possible – why is it not?

Not only is our education, or lack thereof, to blame, but also our policing and justice system. If there are no consequences for crime, nor any immediate reactions, why would crime stop?

Our president, Mr Ramaphosa, has called the genderbased violence in our country a pandemic. It certainly is a pandemic – so then why aren’t we doing anything

about it? There is all this talk, and then some more, but from what I have seen the government is taking no decisive action towards ending these hateful and evil occurrences.

South African women are tired of waiting for help that isn’t coming. The only way forward that I can see, is self-protection. Who else is there to rely on besides ourselves?

Furthermore, I can’t describe the immense relief I feel in knowing there are organisations in South Africa that are finally taking a stand alongside us.

Now is the time to start realising that self-defence is the only true way to save ourselves.

ASHLEY DAVISON Durbanville

Komiteelid gee antwoord In antwoord op die brief Belastingbetalers het ook regte (17 Februarie) wat in TygerBurger gepubliseer is: Die Stad Kaapstad moet baie uitdagings in die gesig staar om haweloosheid wat deur die pandemie vererger is aan te spreek.

Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat verskillende hofsake die Stad Kaapstad verhinder om sy verordeninge wat op alle inwoners van toepassing is, toe te pas. Verder verbied die nasionale rampbestuur regulasies die Stad om tentbewoners uit openbare ruimtes te skuif.

Die uitwerking van haweloosheid op persoonlike ruimte het uitdagings in die samelewing gebring tussen persone wat wil help en diegene wat hul persoonlike ruimte weer na normaal wil laat terugkeer.

As n plaaslike regering wat omgee is ons bewus van inwoners se versoeke. As ’n

Stad het ons die Veilige Ruimte-model geïmplementeer, en werk ons deurlopend saam met organisasies wat hulp verleen aan haweloses en finansiële bydraes lewer. Die Give Dignity-veldtog is ook in werking gestel en daar word met die breë publiek in gesprek getree om oplossings te vind.

Laasjaar het ek die Inkhatalo-gesprek begin, waar Lorenzo Davids van Community Chest en Melene Rossouw van die Women Lead Movement die leiding neem. Hierdie dialoog gee geleentheid aan nieregeringsorganisasies wat hulp bied aan haweloses, inwoners en die regering om maniere te vind om die uitdagings te pak.

Inkhatalo-gesprek gee aksie aan ons oortuiging dat alle inwoners die reg het om in ‘n veilige en gesonde stad te woon. Die uitdaging is om die gaping tussen die botsende sienings te oorbrug en ‘n ooreenkoms te bereik oor hoe ons die sosiaal maatskaplike uitdagings wat haweloosheid bied, kan oplos.

Is kaartjies geld in die water?

Ek het my gelukkig geag toe ek verneem het dat ek een van die gelukkiges was wat vier kaartjies kon bekom vir die Springbokke teen die Leeus op Nuweland.

Nou is ek jammer om te hoor dat Nuweland verkoop word ... maar nog meer jammer om niks te hoor van SA Rugby oor my R1 400 wat ek vir kaartjies betaal het vir ’n reeks wat dalk nooit gaan gebeur op ’n veld wat nie meer bestaan nie.

Is daar nog mense wat in hierdie strik getrap het?

Oupa bekommerd oor leerders As oupa is kinders en kleinkinders vir my ’n baie belangrike deel van my lewe.

Na ’n verblyf van 7 jaar in die onmiddellike omgewing van die hoërskool voel ek verplig om vandag my kommer en vrees te deel.

Ek ry gereeld die pad tussen die twee sirkels langs die skool. Ek kan nie glo dat verantwoordelike onderwyspersoneel glad nie omgee vir hulle leerders se veiligheid nie.

Die onbemande kruising tussen die skool en die tennisbane is vir my ’n groot bron van kommer. Dit is slegs genade dat daar nog nie leerders raakgery is nie.

Hoe moeilik kan dit wees om ’n skoolpatrollie daar te stel soos by die laerskool?

Die leerders drentel net eenvoudig kop onderstebo en die bestuurders moet uiters waaksaam wees om nie een raak te ry nie.

Ek het al male sonder tal baie noue ontkomings daar gesien!

Kan die personeel nie asseblief iets doen om ons leerders te beskerm nie.

First-ever world report on hearing launched soon T

he countdown has begun to the launch of the first-ever world report on hearing. The launch takes place on World Hearing Day celebrated on 3 March this year.

Through the global launch of this report, the World Health Organisation intends to raise awareness with, and mobilize action among national governments, international non-government organisations and development agencies, as well as all stakeholders in the field of hearing care.

“This is a momentous occasion, one which will serve to raise awareness about this invisible and far-reaching epidemic – that of hearing loss.

“The estimated global burden of unaddressed hearing loss is a staggering $750 billion per year, not to mention the negative impact on the individual such as isolation and lack of access to communication, education and information.

“This is totally unacceptable when so much can be done to prevent and treat hearing loss. This is a clarion call to the South African government to ensure hearing health for all – screen, rehabilitate and communicate,” says Dr Diane Bell, chair of the Carel du Toit Trust, a member of the World Hearing Forum.

World Hearing Day is celebrated annually on 3 March to highlight the importance of hearing and draw attention to the importance of early identification and interven­tion for hearing loss. The theme this year is “hearing care for all”.

We all run the risk of not knowing that we have unidentified hearing loss, failing to realize that we are missing out on certain sounds and words. Ensuring that your baby’s hearing is tested soon after birth is the first step to the best possible outcome.

At the Carel du Toit Centre based on the grounds of Tygerberg Hospital, children who are born with hearing loss, even profoundly deaf, can learn to listen, and develop natural spoken language.

Audiologist Tara-Lee Odendaal doing a check-up on a child’s hearing with her mother present. The names of the child and parent cannot be mentioned.

Flowers to cheer up tired frontline heroes With February being the month of love the Champions for Children, a volunteer club of Tygerberg Hospital Children’s Trust, decided to give back to healthcare workers through their “showsomelove” campaign.

This is an initiative dreamed up by the volunteers as they want to show support and appreciation to the healthcare workers. They want to make the staff feel loved, a spokesperson says.

Nurses and doctors at Tygerberg Hospital have been working tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and many of their colleagues, friends and family have succumbed to the pandemic.

“This campaign is about highlighting

and raising awareness about the trying times of the frontline workers and the hard conditions they have been working under over the last year.

“We are appealing to the public and businesses to show support by pledging a cash donation as an act of love to contribute towards the purchase of flowers for the healthcare workers,” the spokesperson says.

The flowers will be handed over by the Champions for Children in the last week of February to all the paediatric wards.

The flowers are a token from the volunteers, to show support.

Home supports ‘forgotten ones’ CARINA ROUX

E

very day her son spent another day living is her proudest moment, says Moira Hubbard. The doctors didn’t think Ryan, now 26, would survive his first year.

Born profoundly deaf and handicapped, Ryan failed to thrive and was eventually diagnosed with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome, a very rare genetic condition. If he survived, he would be bed-bound and require tube feeding, Moira was told.

Ryan has cystic fibrosis of the pancreas and scoliosis of the spine. He is non-verbal and autistic.

But Ryan is also the reason why his mother wants to leave a legacy. The reason she started the M&R Centre of Excellence, a non-profit organisation (NPO) and “forever home” for children with special needs in 2018.

Including Ryan, there are currently five residents and five live-in carers in the home in Kuils River. A one day care attendee, the home’s manager and a domestic worker comes in daily.

Moira says they do not receive any funding from government. As with other NPOs the Covid-19 pandemic has hit them hard.

“Some of the parents’ businesses are closing or they are on reduced income.”

Running costs are high and the only thing that keeps the doors open are the monthly fees the residents’ parents pay.

The double garage of the rental property was converted to serve as a life skills centre, but it gets very hot, or very cold in winter, says Moira. As the lease expires end of March, they are desperately looking to move elsewhere in the northern suburbs.

“Ideally a four-bedroom house with garden space where we can put the trampoline up

or add a jumping castle or obstacle course.”

Moira says special needs children like Ryan who might be 26 on his ID, but mentally closer to age six, are the ‘‘forgotten ones” in South Africa. “Nobody talks about them; nobody tries to help them.”

At the life skills centre they offer various activities from arts and crafts, puzzles, beading, drawing, and learning with communication cards. Every day there is a purpose and a time for everything, from group play or one on one occupational or speech therapy sessions to baking, says Moira.

“We want to give them some independence and a purpose in life.”

She says in SA there’s a dire need for places that can accommodate low functioning, non-verbal autistic and other special needs individuals, “in a forever home and not an institution”.

Since Ryan’s birth in 1994 there’s been many challenges. Moira had to do her utmost to get a cochlear implant authorised for her son. “Ryan opened the door for others to get a cochlear implant regardless of whether they would talk or not. To give them quality of life through hearing.”

A few years ago, Ryan suffered a blood clot on his brain from banging his head against a wall due to pain and frustration

of not being able to vocalise his thoughts.

On another occasion Ryan’s arm was broken when someone tried to restrain him.

A mother of a special needs child must almost have a split personality, says Moira. “When they go through trauma and illness – someone breaking his arm – you literally have to have shutters to close down that emotion so you can support your child.”

Moira is in awe of her son’s ability to master through all the pain and challenges he faces every day of his life. “I honour his struggle by being even more determined to push forward.

“Through Ryan I’ve learnt actually dealing through all the hundreds of small things that get thrown on our path every moment of every day gives us an impeccable fail proof coping mechanism that is able to weather the storm in the big rough ugly moments. It’s that one step at a time.”

Moira is at her happiest when Ryan makes eye contact with her and gives her a smile. As she won’t live forever, Moira started the M&R centre and home for Ryan, but also for others like him.

Scottish born Moira says she could have taken Ryan to the UK to get help, but she had a phenomenal childhood in South Africa and wants to pay it forward.

“I want the centre to grow bigger and help more children.”

She hopes her legacy to Ryan will become Ryan’s legacy for others like him who needs a home.

Any contributions, from groceries, essential supplies, recreational items, educational toys or monetary donations to assisting with running costs would be welcomed.

Electricity hike causes concern KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels

S

ocial media have been buzzing over the recent announcement of the 15% electricity hike which will take effect on 1 April.

Residents are up in arms over this, saying that the electricity increase will have a huge impact on their financials as many lost their jobs due to Covid-19.

According to Eskom, they note and respect the order by the High Court on the tariff adjustment for the new financial year.

“This order will result in an average price increase of approximately 15% in the electricity tariff for standard tariff customers starting on 1 April. This court decision allows Eskom to recover efficiently incurred costs for the production of electricity. It also contributes to the ‘user pay’ principle and is likely to lessen the financial burden of supporting Eskom on the government, releasing the government to focus on other priorities,” Eskom says.

However, not everyone welcomes this decision. The public took their concerns to social media, expressing their unhappiness.

“We are just scraping by due to Covid, and now the government wants to take more of our money? Money we don’t even have! This is ridiculous. Why is this electricity hike necessary?” a post on Facebook reads.

Eskom says the electricity increase will allow them to move towards addressing some of the revenue shortfalls. This will also enable Eskom to recover prudently incurred costs for the production of electrici-

ty, which will help to improve Eskom’s financial sustainability.

Jenny Hannekom, a resident of Parklands on the West Coast, says she is currently struggling to pay her outstanding electricity bills and will not survive another hike.

“Being a single mother and having to pay all the bills, is difficult enough. The electricity increase will only make things so much more difficult. How will this work? Does the increase apply to everyone? There is so much uncertainty around this,” she says.

The public has urged Eskom to explain in detail how the disadvantaged residential areas will survive this increase.

Eskom’s CEO, Calib Cassim, says poor residential customers will continue to be supported through the free basic electricity programme, as well as affordability subsidies provided for in the Nersa tariff decision.

“Identified vulnerable industrial sectors will be considered by Nersa in terms of the short-term and long-term negotiated pricing agreements promulgated recently by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy. This order is in response to Eskom requesting the execution of a high court decision that allowed the recovery of incorrectly deducted government equity support for the financial year 2021/’22. Since Eskom made this urgent application to the high court, Nersa had made additional decisions related to recovery of efficient costs from previous years. The high court order allows a further 5.44c/kWh increase,” Eskom says in a statement.

Attacks on City workers continue It’s been alleged that criminals are taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic as the City of Cape Town’s healthcare workers are often attacked while serving communities.

According to the Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien, shop owners have also fallen victim.

“In recent weeks, City health staff have been robbed at gun point and others threatened with death amid the continued theft and vandalising of equipment at facilities. Our staff are on the front line of this pandemic and it is unacceptable that they face additional threats from the very communities they serve.

“Staff are doing what they can to monitor compliance with health protocols for everyone’s safety, but if they are not allowed to do this, we are heading for disaster in terms of infection figures,” said Badroodien.

In addition, he said that unscrupulous

scam artists continue to prey on shop owners who are told that if they do not make use of a specific sanitising service, the service providers will close down their business and they will not be able to operate.

“These fake companies provide a document, which indicates that the premises have been disinfected/cleaned and give the store owner a compliance certificate valid for a month from the date of treatment. In some instances, they also insist that the shop owners purchase a special bleach from them, which should then be used for future disinfection purposes.

“City health wants to warn shop owners that it is not mandatory to use any sterilisation service. Surfaces can easily be disinfected with a solution of diluted household bleach. Regulations under the Disaster Risk Management Act do not make provision for premises to be closed down due to any perceived lack of sterilisation,” said Badroodien.

Local is ‘lekker’ on wine farms ESMÉ ERASMUS

I

f it were not for local support, many restaurants and venues on local wine farms in the Durbanville wine valley might not have survived through the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to Bernard Veller, owner of Nitida, his wine farm was blessed with such local support that he experienced definite changes in people’s buying and visiting patterns.

Between 20% and 30% more local people are estimated to visit the farm now. This seems to be the trend at other wine farms in the valley as well.

“Over the last year, we lost nearly 20 weeks of trading – in both the cellar with wine sales, as well as in the restaurants. This has had a devastating effect on businesses.

“The massive support subsequent to the reopening – in particular from locals – has helped us to overcome these difficulties.

“We have managed to keep all our staff employed and have also managed to pay all salaries in a very difficult period,” he says.

“We are seeing support from people spending an extended period with us to others coming for sales only.

“The visitors who are most exciting for us are those that come and taste wine, but then also have lunch or dinner in one of the restaurants.

“We are very excited about this local support. Nitida and its ancillary businesses have focused strongly on people visiting us and this supports our underlying strategy,” Veller says.

He says the reason for this upheaval in local support could be that once the severe lockdown was lifted (since last August and now recently again), people wanted to get out, but wanted to feel safe too.

“The uncertainty that still existed made them look to local opportunities and in particular venues that offered outdoor activities,” he says.

“Clearly wine farms and the restaurants on these farms addressed these needs and concerns. We have put substantial effort into Covid-19 protocols to ensure patrons’ safety. Locals have picked up on this and see it as an important aspect in their support for us,” Veller says.

“This in turn introduced a new set of customers to our wine brand and our restaurants. Covid-19 has also sensitised people to the stress of local businesses and there has been an active shift in buying patterns to support local industry.

“If this is then also coupled with a good experience the support becomes entrenched and will hopefully endure after the pandemic has passed.

“During these difficult times, people have also not necessarily been able to find their go-to everyday wine and have experienced better quality wines. Going forward they have then continued drinking these wines,” he says.

According to Veller people from the southern suburbs are also visiting Durbanville more frequently now – “possibly because we are closer and they feel more secure”, he says.

“The media has been a great help at talk-

ing about supporting local companies and this support is much appreciated and has been effective.

“We believe that lockdown has forced people to slow down and appreciate the good things around them, including family, home cooking and local wineries and restaurants,” Veller says.

It is not only the restaurants and other venues on wine farms that have thrived.

“With the stay at home behaviour of many people the ordering of wine on the net has grown substantially. In particular from people in the area.

“We are much more active in promoting picnics (where social distancing is real) and platters for people to enjoy in our gardens.

“We are becoming much more flexible with regard to patrons’ needs and special requests,” he says.

There has also been a new trend in business events.

“We are encouraging corporates to hold their necessary meetings with us, where the team involved is only exposed to the interaction and the threat of large buildings with many people is minimised. We have started catering to businesses who want to be more isolated in their own environment or meetings that are being held via zoom.

“We are strongly focused as outdoor venues; we are easily accessible and can be visited at shorter notice. Our attitude towards pets (which we allow under most circumstances) has made us a destination for people wanting to get their animals out of the house.

“We definitely are seeing more families vi-

siting and our child-friendly attitude in the cellar and restaurants is well received. Our outdoor areas are enjoyed by these families,” he says.

Bennie Howard, marketing manager at Meerendal wine estate, agrees. According to him, they have far more local families visiting for lunch – especially during the week in the extended school holiday.

“This is definitely a new trend. With more people working from home, there are not the strict borders between work and home as before lockdown,” he says.

Dirk Steyn, managing director of the award-winning restaurant, The Tangram at Durbanville Hills, says the change in visiting patterns was dramatic.

“We could not believe how local people supported us – people from Durbanville. If it were not for them, I would not have been here today,” he says.

At The Tangram they attracted locals with good specials on the menu, aimed at the local market.

“Everybody was aware of the effect the closure of restaurants might have had on us, but when we opened our doors again, people came to support us – also a small percentage from areas such as Hout Bay and Camps Bay. We respect the Covid-19 regulations; people see it and feel safe,” he says.

The fact that one can still buy wine over weekends despite the liquor restrictions, contributes to more visitors over weekends, he says.

“People want to come out over a weekend, enjoy food and wine and spend a good time with friends. It is fun and it is safe,” he says.

Legendariese Ouma Blom raak honderd jaar oud ESMÉ ERASMUS Ouma Blom, bekend vir haar groen vingers in die tuin van die La Gratitude-aftreeoord, het Maandag haar 100ste verjaarsdag gevier.

Helena Lückhoff, wat ’n besonderse liefde vir tuinmaak het, het dié bynaam onder inwoners gekry nadat sy jare lank in beheer van die aftreeoord se tuin was.

Maar Ouma Blom is bekend vir baie meer as net haar tuinbouvaardighede. Sy oefen nog gereeld viool in haar kamer en het tot voor die Covid-19-inperking gereeld in ’n groep gespeel. Sy speel al viool sedert haar skooldae.

Sy is ook baie kunstig en het ’n jaar lank beeldhouwerk onder Herman Wald, bekende Joodse beeldhouer, gestudeer.

Sy het beelde uit klei sowel as hout gemaak en ’n kop uit hout gekerf. Dié kunswerk met die titel Tombi is ingesluit by ’n uitstalling van die SA Akademie vir

Wetenskap en Kuns.

Sy het ook ’n reeks kinderboeke vir die laerskoolfase, Peeps into Storyland, geïllustreer.

Ouma Blom was ’n veelsydige vrou op haar dag en het as onderwyseres selfs skiet en krieket gedurende die Tweede Wêreldoorlog afgerig, omdat die meeste mans op die personeel weg was om in die oorlog te veg.

Sy is op 22 Februarie 1921 in Fouriesburg as ’n nooi Jacobs gebore en was die tweede oudste van vier kinders. Haar pa was ’n bankbestuurder en hulle het op verskeie Oos-Vrystaatse dorpe gebly.

Sy het in Ficksburg gematrikuleer en het toe vir ’n kindertuinonderwyseres aan die Bloemfontein-onderwyskollege gaan studeer.

Sy het tydens die oorlog ’n kindertuinklas by St. Andrews in Bloemfontein begin. Sy het ná die oorlog na Benoni verhuis en daar skoolgehou. Sy is in 1950 met Hilmar Lückhoff getroud, waarna sy ook in Pietermaritzburg en Pretoria skoolgehou het. Haar man was ’n bosbou-navorser en ’n groot natuurliefhebber en stapper.

Sy het die land vol saam met hom gereis na afgeleë bosboustasies en was baie lief vir stap.

Sy was oral waar sy gebly het betrokke by die kerk en is nou al die afgelope 30 jaar lid van dieselfde Bybelstudiegroep.

“Met haar wye belangstellings en haar positiewe lewensgesindheid is sy nou nog ’n inspirasie vir almal rondom haar. Haar glas is altyd half vol, nooit half leeg nie,” sê Belinda Britz van die aftreeoord.

Sy is die trotse ma van twee kinders, ’n ouma van drie en ook oumagrootjie van drie.

Helena Lückhoff, bekend as Ouma Blom, het Maandag 100 jaar oud geword.

Matrics from Curro achieve 100% Curro Independent School in Durbanville boasts a 100% matric pass rate in the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exams, of which the results were released last Friday.

Furthermore, a total of 93.2% of its learners qualified for university studies.

“This is truly an extraordinary achievement taking into account the immense pressure they were under as a result of Covid-19.

Our 2020 matrics have certainly outdone themselves,” says a proud Andries Greyling, chief executive officer of Curro Holdings.

“We pride ourselves in preparing our learners to flourish into resourceful, problem solving adults who can tackle any challenge with confidence.

“Congratulations Class of 2020, your drive, and perseverance to reach the top of this Ev-

erest challenge has been an inspiration to all,” comments Dirk van Zyl, executive head of Curro Durbanville.

Van Zyl believes it was Curro Durbanville’s quick transition to a remote learning strategy during the initial lockdown that helped secure 2020’s academic success.

“The last academic year posed great uncertainty, but none of the year’s challenges were greater than a full move towards the virtual classroom in your final school year.

Our teachers and staff also need to be commended for the professional dedication shown towards our remote learning strategy.

“Without everyone’s commitment and our parents’ unwavering support, we simply would not have been able to show this level of academic success,” he says.

The top achievers in the Cambridge examinations are (from left) Matthew Herbert (Van Riebeeckshof), Paige Forrester (Van Riebeeckshof), Tristan Nel (Durbanville), Keenan Kapnias (Van Riebeeckshof) and Anja van der Merwe (Durbanville), toasting to their success.

Rugby clubs back for training F

ollowing SA Rugby’s announcement for the resumption of amateur rugby activities, Western Province Rugby are excited to welcome their clubs back to training.

“After last week’s announcement by SA Rugby that amateur rugby training may resume we have seen a breath of fresh air blow amongst our members.

“The initial phase allows for a four-week period for strength and conditioning training, all according to strict Covid health and safety protocols,” says Danny Jones, manager of WP Amateur Rugby.

SA Rugby also confirmed the restart of the amateur rugby season will follow a structured approach to ensure the health and safety of players and management are taken into consideration.

According to statement released by SA Rugby last week, the second phase will incorporate four weeks of gradual integration of contact training, should the national government give the go-ahead.

SA Rugby CEO, Jurie Roux said this is an important step in getting the local amateur season off to a good start, but he emphasised the need for responsible behaviour from these rugby communities.

“SA Rugby is the custodian of rugby in the country but school sport falls under the auspices of the Department of Basic Education and they must therefore adhere to government’s rules and regulations,” said Roux.

“Schools have got their own Covid management committees, and together with the school headmaster they will provide the final say on whether the school participates in rugby or not.

“The ultimate responsible person will be the principal of each school. It remains our collective responsibility to ensure that the

Rugby grounds may become a hive of activity once again following the announcement by SA Rugby that gives amateur rugby the go-ahead to return to training.

PHOTO: EARL HAUPT players and coaches who participate in the game of rugby do so in a safe environment and mitigates against the risk of unnecessary illness and injury.”

Jones says the announcement has seen a number of their Covid certified clubs return to training and judging by early feedback, the players are adjusting well.

“This was of course expected as we know many of our clubs have remained active with their members doing social activities which also includes Covid protocols,” he says.

The knock-on effect of SA Rugby’s announcement has seen the Varsity Cup being given the go-ahead for this season, with four local universities representing the Cape region, namley: Maties, UWC, and UCT and CPUT in the Varsity Shield.

“This year will see the continuation of our focus on the development of women’s rugby and the continuation of our exclusive women’s rugby coaching program which launched last year. As we see more clubs building their structures and looking to include women’s rugby at their clubs we anticipate that this programme will have a meaningful connection between the women we are enrolling on the course and the clubs with women’s rugby structures.

As part of our strategy to grow women’s rugby, we will be engaging and supporting our club structures to follow suit,” says Jones.

This week also saw the roll out the first of their forum meetings which saw clubs engage WP Rugby. These sessions looked at club competitions for 2021, proposals for

2022 and return to training.

This week rotated through Super League A, B and C at Newlands stadium boardroom and next week sees them engage the City and Southern Leagues, Northern and Paarl Leagues and Metro, Simonsberg and Sunday Leagues later this week.

“In addition to our coaching course, we will continue to empower our clubs by rolling out additional media, marketing and sponsorship workshops. Last year saw the start of the focus MMS courses which allowed for additional marketeers to be deployed at club level. We will now roll out additional courses which focus on the specifics of marketing your club and engaging your supporter’s club,” Jones explains.

Jones says the sessions will add a practical element and will help clubs improve their communication and exposure. Anyone who missed any of the previous modules can join the four-week catch-up course over a four consecutive day period starting on 1 March.

“On a final note, we remind all our members that we understand the negative impact Covid has had on the morale of our members and we recognise the value of the roll many of you have played during these extraordinary times. The fact that you have kept your members connected and engaged through the spirit of the rugby community is admirable and deserves recognition. We urge you to continue engaging your members and fans and to continue driving the passion of WP Club Rugby.

“We extend our deepest sympathies to those that have lost someone close to them during these difficult times, you remain in our thoughts and prayers. We remind you to continue fighting the virus by washing your hands regularly, practising social distance and always wear a mask.”

New club to the crease The Independent Institute for Education’s Varsity College (VC) is proud to introduce its own cricket club which will be based at its Cape Town campus. The club, a member of the Western Province Cricket Association (WPCA), will join the “ranks” of one of its other major sports clubs based on its Cape Town campus – netball.

“The Varsity College Cricket Club third division’s goal is to become a club with its own strong identity and culture. A club which will embrace innovation and bravery amongst team mates and which will develop players’ natural abilities into greatness,” says newly appointed, dedicated and seasoned coach and player Trevor Timm. Joining Timm as the club’s deputy chairperson and administrator is 23-year-old Christian Pietersen, who is also a second-year BComm student at Varsity College. Establishing the Varsity College Cricket Club was spearheaded by national sports manager of Varsity College Carole Adam, sports coordinator, Brent Davids and head of student services, Megan Landman.

“With the move of our current Cape Town campus to the hub of the iconic Newlands Cricket Grounds Development mid-June this year, it made sense for us to make our new, purpose-built Cape Town campus the home of the VC Cricket Club,” says Adam.

Die vier fietsryers van Kinetic-fietsryklub in Bellville wat SA in Maart in Egipte gaan verteenwoordig, is van links: Amber Hindmarch van Pinelands, Justin Chesterton van Meadowridge, Jason Bruintjies van Ravensmead en McKenzie Pedro van Oakdale. Hulle vertrek Vrydag 26 Februarie.

EGIPTE: FIETSRYERS GAAN PROVINSIE VERTEENWOORDIG

Vier van WP gekies AVRIL FILLIES

M

cKenzie Pedro van Oakdale is een van vier fietsryers van die WP wat aan die fietsrybyeenkoms in Kaïro, Egipte, gaan deelneem en vertrek Vrydag, 26 Februarie, om in Maart te gaan deelneem.

“Ek is baie opgewonde oor my insluiting en sien baie uit na die byeenkoms in Egipte.

“Toe die baanspan aangekondig is was ek tuis, maar toe die padspan aangekondig is, was ek by die skool en was buite myself van opgewondenheid omdat ek die span gehaal het. Ek bewonder Emily Batty van Kanada. Sy is ’n goeie rolmodel omdat sy passievol is oor die sport en ander meisies aanmoedig om by die sport betrokke te raak,” sê McKenzie sy.

Volgens McKenzie is die Tour de France die grootste fietstoer.

“Dit was die eerste groot toer wat ek ge-

volg het en die toer het vir 21 dae van opwinding gesorg. In Egipte gaan daar nie tyd wees om besienswaardighede te besoek nie, maar ek hoop om die piramides te besoek voor ons huis toe kom. Voor ons vertrek moet ons almal die Covid-toets laat doen 72 uur voor ons vertrek en weer voor ons terugkeer huis toe. Wanneer ek nie by fietsry betrokke is nie, ontspan ek met my vriendinne of ons gesin gaan kampeer graag,” sê McKenzie.

Op haar wenslysie is om Europese lande te verken en sy wil ook eendag al die nuwe Wonders van die Wêreld besoek.

Haar ouers het die grootste invloed op haar fietsry, want hulle ondersteun haar ten volle en ook in alle ander aspekte van haar lewe.

“Eienskappe wat ’n goeie fietsryer nodig het, is om passievol oor die sport te wees.

Jy moet ook geduldig en toegewyd wees.

My versoek aan motoriste is om altyd bewus te wees van fietsryers. As jy ’n fietsry-

er sien, probeer om die 1.5 m-afstand te handhaaf.

“Wanneer ek nie fietsry nie lees ek graag en geniet dit om netbal te speel en ek kamp ook gereeld saam met die Voortrekkers,” sê McKenzie.

Sy droom om sy land te verteenwoordig word nou eintlik vir Jason Bruintjies van Ravensmead bewaarheid nadat hy as een van vier fietsryers van die Kineticfietsryklub in Bellville gekies is om SA in Maart by die Kontinentale Pad- en Baanbyeenkoms in Egipte te verteenwoordig. “My opgewondenheid kan ek nie beskryf nie, want dit was altyd my lewensdroom om SA te verteenwoordig.

Ek moes nog die vaak uit my oë vee toe ek hoor ek is gekies, want ek het net wakker geword en was aan die opstaan,” skerts hy.

Sy ander groot byeenkoms waaraan hy oorsee deelgeneem het, was die Junior Jeugtoer in Assen in Nederland.
