MOTORIST: ‘THIS IS BLATANT CORRUPTION’

Fraudulant e-toll account DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

magine the shock of opening an official invoice from Gauteng e-tolls, with your name, ID number and car registration for a vehicle that has never been driven in Johannesburg. This is exactly what happened to Heidi Fisher from Brackenfell last week. “It was literally the shock of my life! I once drove past Johannesburg a long time ago, but not even in this vehicle,” she says. The official invoice from Sanral’s violation processing centre, complete with registered account number, reflects outstanding

tariffs for using the e-toll gate on the N3 outside Johannesburg for entry on 1 October 2020. The amount, although a small amount under R100, was payable by 26 December 2020. A photograph on the back of the invoice is of a truck bearing a number plate with Fisher’s vehicle registration number on it. “This is obviously fraudulent and blatant corruption. “How is it possible? Where did they get my ID number, address and vehicle registration? I don’t even live in that province,” says a very perturbed Fischer. “And what happens if I don’t pay it; will I be summoned? And how can I be certain

that my registration number will not be used again? I wonder how many other people have been caught this way.” In response to a media inquiry from TygerBurger Vusi Mona, Sanral general manager of communications, thanked Fisher for bringing this matter to their attention. Mona would not provide TygerBurger with information about the account saying, “Legislation prohibits the disclosure of account information to a third party.” The only solace he could provide Fisher with was, “Any road user who receives an account or transaction that they would like to dispute may contact the e-toll customer services via the call centre on 0800 726 725 or

e-mail info@sa-etoll.co.za.” In his response he made no mention of the authenticity of the invoice, which was sent to Sanral for perusal. He did however confirm that Sanral’s e-toll customer services team will be in contact with the road user to assist her with her inquiry. Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) in Johannesburg says they are aware of a scam whereby fraudulent invoices are being sent to vehicle owners outside of Gauteng and that they have received numerous complaints in this regard. TygerBurger was referred to the Outa project manager, and is currently awaiting feedback.

Adventure athlete publishes book ESMÉ ERASMUS

urbanville-based adventure athlete, Jamie Marais has summited many a challenge – the latest publishing an autobiography about his adventure endeavours. His book, Determination, his first, was published in December. Marais (44), a corporate accounts manager, became known for his participation in extreme adventures – from summiting Table Mountain 22 times in 28 hours over two days in August 2016, almost twice the height of Everest, in support of the Sabrina Love Foundation for special needs children, to mountain biking 360km non-stop in 36 hours among the Big Five in Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape in August last year – the first and only person to do this. He was metres away from the white rhino cow Thandi – famous for her survival of a poacher attack in March 2012 – and her young calf.

and life-changing moments I have experienced and shares the life lessons learned from each of those experiences. I also share many practical tips and tools on how people can help themselves to overcome challenges and harness their inner strength,” he says. After experimenting with recreational drugs at about 14 years of age, his turning point came when he had a bad drug experience. “It shook me back to reality and I made the concrete decision to turn my life around for health and fitness,” he says. “I have always been involved in adventure sports like surfing, but my greatest passion at school was road cycling.” He won the provincial championships when he was 17 and then competed on a top ranked elite road cycling team later in life in his thirties. His interest in extreme adventures started about five years ago when he turned 40, after he was offered an opportunity to emigrate to Canada. He went across and looked at the opportunity but decided not to pursue it. “Despite the challenges, South Africa is really great. I came back with an appreciation for what we have here and also an awareness of the challenge we face,” he says. “I wanted to do something that could help people believe in themselves and realise that nothing is ever too big to face and overcome,” he says. The feedback on his book was incredible, Marais says. “It brings a message of hope and of overcoming your challenges.” The first edition was sold out in four weeks and is now being reprinted. Ever since he has been regularly invited as motivational speaker. He is now busy with a sequel to his book, which focuses mainly on his “Jamie Rides 4 Rhinos” mountain biking adventure in Kariega Game Reserve. “This book will tell the story of my epic adventure, but if my first book was about finding the silver lining, this one is about taming the beast, facing your fears and making the best of your circumstances,” he says. V The book can be ordered on his website at jamiemarais.com and will soon be available in bookshops.

Tweede oes Kiwi-wyn land op Diemersdal

Die tweede oes vir Diemersdal se Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, wat gemaak word op Nieu-Seeland se Suideiland, het hier geland om plaaslike wynliefhebbers die uitbundige geure van dié kultivar uit die Land van die Lang Wit Wolk te laat proe. Diemersdal se eerste Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc het aan die einde van 2019 sy buiging gemaak. Die wyn is afkomstig van Marlborough, sowat 11 000 km van die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed. Dit was juis tydens ’n besoek aan Marlborough in 2016 dat Thys Louw, eienaar-wynmaker van Diemersdal, versot geraak het op die Nieu-Seelandse sauvignon blanc-wyne en hy besluit het om ’n wyn te maak in dié

streek onder sy Diemersdal-etiket. Thys het kragte saamgespan met die bekende Marlborough-wynmaker Ben Glover van Glover Family Vineyards vir die maak van die wyn. Die druiwe vir die wyn kom van die Dillons Point-substreek, van waar Glover Family Vineyards ook hul druiwe kry. Glover sê die samewerking met Diemersdal was ’n hoogtepunt vir hom en sy span in Nieu-Seeland in ’n jaar swaar getref deur die viruspandemie. “Projekte soos hierdie is so belangrik om ons byeen te bring, en ons as wynmense meer bewus te maak van wat in mekaar se agterplase aangaan en die interaksie en deel van kennis en stories te geniet, sê hy.

Lions Club plans to revive in Brackenfell DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

fter the club collapsed a few years ago due to the threat of losing its club house, Lions International in Brackenfell is on a mission to revive the Brackenfell Lions to its former glory. The club has started a drive to recruit new members. The Brackenfell Lions Club was established in 1973, says acting president Gary Badenhorst, a proud and passionate Lion. The service organisation has a track record that goes back to 1917. Badenhorst joined the club in 1992, when a former colleague and then president planted the seed. At the time, the club shares premises with the Brackenfell Pigeon Club but in 2015 had to vacate the premises to make space for the City of Cape Town law enforcement office. “Our new clubhouse is in Dorey Street, and was built from bits and pieces, either donated or scrounged from all over the show,” says Badenhorst. Badenhorst says the current situation is a sad one as the facility, which is on a piece of land owned by the City of Cape Town, was nearly lost for the development of sports grounds. “This threat was temporarily halted, which gives us a reprieve and time to again build a club and to source a new facility for the future,” he says. “But because of this uncertainty most of the members either packed up and left, or joined Lions Clubs in other areas.” He remembers a once vibrant club that boasted a healthy membership of more than fifty members.

Proud Lion Gary Badenhorst is on a mission to revive the Lions Club in Brackenfell. He fondly recalls one of the club’s many heart-warming projects where they hosted a hearty lunch at their former clubhouse for the senior citizens at Rusooord Retirement Village. “Then once a year we would do a Christmas party for them where we would have an artist performing live music and serve a delicious lunch. Our Leo’s were the waitrons at these lunches. “There are many heart-warming memories and invariably it is the expression of urgency shown by our club members when there is a family, community or an individu-

Take the vaccine, urges nurse: Nurse Thembeka Goba from Karl Bremer Hospital who spent 25 days in hospital with Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic urges people to get vaccinated (when it becomes available). The mother of three developed flu-like symptoms and visited her pharmacy where she bought medication. She soon realised that this was something different. Soon after her symptoms progressed, she visited her local doctor again and was hospitalised with severe pneumonia. Goba was admitted to Tygerberg Hospital where she spent time in the intensive care unit on high-flow oxygen before being transferred to a ward. Goba made a full recovery and says she is optimistic that the vaccine will reduce her risk.

‘Koeberg containment building is safe’ Eskom is fully cognisant of the risk of corrosion of civil structures at the Koeberg Power Station, which is a result of the station being located in a corrosive environment. This Eskom says in a statement as ongoing testing on the Koeberg containment buildings, which house the reactor and associated nuclear components, have proven the structures to be capable of withstanding the most severe accident. This containment programme has been managed closely since construction. “The tests comprise quarterly and annual measurements to identify any abnormal movement (such as expansions, settling, etc.), visual inspections to identify physical degradation (such as cracks, spalling, efflorescence) and by performing the integrated leak rate tests (ILRT) on a 10-yearly basis. The results of the ILRTs have shown conclusively that the design functions of the containment buildings are met. The test results of the ILRT were also compared with international plants of similar design and it was found to be in-line with industry norms.

The ILRT represents the worst case accident scenario and proves the containment buildings to be capable of withstanding the most severe accident,” Eskom says. The main concern to the long term system health of the containment buildings is the deterioration of the externally exposed concrete surfaces due to chloride ingress that causes reinforcement corrosion and the potential effect on the prestressing tendons. Concrete repairs have been implemented to reinstate areas of the external facades where spalling and delamination occurred due to reinforcement corrosion. “A long term solution to prevent rebar and tendon corrosion due to chloride ingress is the implementation of an induced cathodic protection system,” Eskom explains. The information from the ongoing testing, inspections and maintenance is included in the assessments being implemented as part of the work required for Koeberg’s life extension and Eskom remains confident that the issue is fully under control.

al in need. The way the team just spontaneously reacts and supports is heart-warming.” The club currently, although lacking in members, has several ongoing service projects such as food drives, sight and hearing projects. Its traditional annual Christmas cakes have been around for forty years and is well liked and supported by the community. “We support and get involved with many projects – remember that when disaster strikes Lions are there.” Badenhorst invites like-minded people to join, people with a social conscience and who can care for the community regardless of race, sex, colour or creed. “The feeling of knowing that your club has contributed to the success of a project, seeing the result and the change is immeasurable,” he says. “It griefs me to see that we are not doing what we used to do.” Being a non-profit organisation, all the club’s funds are secured through fundraising and this comes in various great fun events. Membership at the Lions is family orientated. Men, women, and children are welcome to join, says Badenhorst, whether you are Afrikaans, English, or any other preferred language. “We have bingo evenings, big screen horse racing, beach clean-ups, boerewors braai events, and the fun goes on. “The Lion’s policy on fundraising is simple – if it comes from the community it goes back to the community.” V For more information contact Gary Badenhorst at badenhorst.gary@gmail.com>

Online series for CHPA To bolster their fundraising efforts which had been limited by Covid-19 restrictions the Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) is hosting an online webinar series to introduce viewers to other equine welfare organisations. The association does valuable work to promote the welfare of working horses and donkeys locally through service provision, legislation, education and training. The Coffee with Cart Horse series consists of talk show style interviews happening every two weeks at 18:00, starting on Thursday 25 February with The Lesotho Project. Tickets for each interview cost R100 and will be available at www.quicket.co.za. The rest of the series is: . 11 March: Blind Love . 25 March: Coal Yard Horses . 8 April: EARS Donkey Sanctuary

Rotary Club donates care packages T

he Rotary Club of Blouberg recently raised funds within 48 hours to donate 110 care packages to Milnerton Medicli-

nic. This after various hospitals have put out appeals to charities within their areas, asking if they could assist with care packages, containing some treats and sustenance to help through their long shifts. Lynne Wade from the club says during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, healthcare workers have been working tirelessly around the clock, seven days a week. “In Milnerton, Michelle Korevaar from Change Makers Hub (CMH) reacted to Milnerton Mediclinic’s plea and asked the local community to assist with donations. CMH is a non-profit organisation that connects people with causes who need help, catalysing change between everyday people who want to help to those who need it the most,” Wade says. In addition, another additional 40 care packages were packed for Tygerberg Hospital as part of a joint project between the Rotary Clubs of Blouberg, Oostenberg, Bellville,

Durbanville, Tygerberg and Goodwood. “For only R70, one care package containing a 500ml Energade, a coffee, hot chocolate, a cappuccino sachet, a packet of biscuits, a bag of jelly sweets, a bag of peanuts and raisins and some hand cream, together with a thank you note, can make a small difference to a tired healthcare worker, letting them know that we care and that we appreciate their dedication and hard work,” Wade says. Following the success of this project, The Rotary Club of Blouberg will continue raising funds, together with CMH, in an effort to provide care packages to the healthcare workers at other hospitals. “This month we want to donate to staff at the Brooklyn Chest Hospital, the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital ICU and the Fresenius Medical Care dialysis centre,” Wade told TygerBurger. If anyone would like to make a donation to continue providing care packages for health workers, or to find out more about the Rotary Club of Blouberg, visit their Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/pg/rotaryclubblouberg.

Inwoner wil nou self stinkende erf omhein DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

’n

Moedelose belastingbetaler van Brackenfell beplan om ’n morsige, stinkende munisipale erf langs haar huis in Morgensterhoogte op eie onkoste skoon te maak en dan met ’n Vibracrete-muur te omhein met geen hek vir toegang nie. In ’n skrywe verlede week aan amptenare by die Stad Kaapstad sê Anel van der Westhuizen dat sy die Stad nog net tot einde Maart gaan kans gee om ’n vergadering met haar te reël om met ’n daadwerklike plan vorendag toe kom oor hoe die Stad be-

plan om die erf in stand te hou. Volgens Van der Westhuizen het sy nie meer ’n keuse nie omdat vele gesprekke en pleidooie in die afgelope jaar net op dowe ore geval het. Volgens haar is die erf, waarvan die gras net een keer per jaar gesny word, ’n wegkruipplek vir misdadigers en ’n brandgevaar. “Ook, met die aantal kinders in die buurt wat gereeld op hul fietse daar verbyry, is dit vir my ’n bekommernis sóú daar slange uitbroei,” sê sy. Sy sê die erf is ook vuil en stink omdat dit as ’n toilet gebruik word, wat vlieë en ander plae lok. “Dis baie onveilig vir my afgetrede moe-

der wat alleen deur die dag by die huis is.” Van der Westhuizen sê sy het sedert verlede jaar al heelwat geskrewe korrespondensie en gesprekke met die Stad, asook die wyksraadslid Rhynhardt Bresler, gevoer. “Ek ontvang net geen terugvoer nie. Die oop erf raak nou vir my ’n ongelooflik groot probleem. Ná vele gesprekke en ’n jaar later is daar nog nooit enige daadwerklike plan beraam oor hoe om te maak met die erf nie,” sê sy. Volgens Van der Westhuizen het die Stad aangebied dat sy die erf huur. “Maar dan word ek beperk met wat ek daarop mag doen en moet ek nog ’n hoop geld vir die

aansoeke betaal. Ek probeer ten minste om die erf op my eie netjies te hou omdat die Stad van geen hulp is nie,” beweer sy. “Ek is nou moeg dat ons moet sukkel om enige hulp te kry en dat ek die erf moet netjies hou. En dan kom ander mense en bemors dit weer. Dit sal nie meer geduld word nie en ek sal nou maar op my eie ’n plan maak. Ek voel ek het nou genoeg kans gegee en as julle nie meer trots het in jul area nie, ek het nog trots,” sê sy. “Genoeg is genoeg.” Teen druktyd het TygerBurger nog geen reaksie of kommentaar van die Stad Kaapstad of wykraadslid Rhynhardt Bresler ontvang nie.

Technology used to connect patients with loved ones Due to hospital visitations not being allowed to limit the risk of possible Covid-19 transmission, staff at Karl Bremer Hospital have come up with an innovative idea. Here tablets are now being used to connect patients with their families. Patients can chat to their friends and family by means of a video call. “The tablet has given the patient the opportunity to speak to and see their loved ones without any obstacles and, by doing so, there has been an optimistic response from both sides,” says Denise Barnes, assistant nursing manager. Barnes says technology has greatly improved the way the hospital team communicates, especially during the pandemic. “When taking into account the visiting policy under the current regulations, not

only does it protect the patient, but their loved ones too. The use of tablets within our wards has ensured continuous communication between the patient and their family at home, as being away from home and unable to see your loved ones tends to have a toll on the overall recovery of a patient, which ultimately leads to a negative bed flow within our busy units,” Barnes says. She says the use of tablets has given patients and staff a sense of hope as they continue to fight Covid-19. “It has definitely been a rewarding feeling to see how thankful our patients and their relatives are, and we remain hopeful that the circumstances we are living in will change in the near future,” Barnes says.

‘Drop 10’ club helps those in need T

he Tygerberg Hospital Children’s Trust’s Drop 10 membership club – a club designed for professionals who want to play an active role in supporting the trust in its work, and positively impacting the lives of children cared for at the hospital is still being well supported after being launched a year ago. Prof Johan Smith, founder, says by joining the club, he and his peers are able to make a measurable impact and drive change for the better. “Joining the club is a no-brainer for me; by donating a portion of my income to a cause that I am already involved with, and because the trust is a registered public benefit organisation, I am able to claim back ben-

efits from Sars and directly see the impact of my donation in the work that the trust does,” says Smith. The club is a programme for professionals who contribute a portion of their annual salary, and in exchange receive a section 18A certificate for tax relief. This is an annual membership whereby the member may participate with other club members in specific campaigns. The club is unique to the trust whereby members are afforded influence in supporting the trust’s work far beyond just making a donation, a spokesperson for the trust says. “The purpose of the club is to encourage professionals to play an active role in social

initiatives beyond just monetary support to a cause, but actively engaging and participating in social upliftment. “The member’s donation and effort through the membership club goes towards the care of 60% of the province’s children who fall within the hospital’s care footprint, the hundreds of children actually visiting our hospital and its school and the impact we are able to bring to the communities of people that support them,” the spokesperson says.

SLICE OF LIFE

En toe stuur buurvrou vir my ’n foto Buurvrou het nogal daarvan gehou om gereeld ’n boksie groente uit haar tuin oor te stuur. Maar toe, skielik, stop dit, en weke lank hoor en sien ons niks. Tot Vrydag – toe stuur buurvrou ’n foto, iets wat sy in al die jare nog nooit gedoen het nie. Wat op die foto was, was nie vir my aanvaarbaar nie. En buurvrou is toe al die tyd stilbemoerd. Ek weer was heel omgebom oor die lang relaas wat die foto vergesel. Ek kon dit eenvoudig nie glo nie. Sy beweer Viskoekie, ons kat, vang haar hoenders. En hoe meer ek sê nee, nie óns kat nie, hoe meer hou sy vol. Teen dié tyd is ons al twee al goed skuinsbeneuk, en die boodskappe vlieg heen en weer. Ek vra haar toe hoeveel katte dink sy is daar in die buurt, buiten haar eie twee? En weet sy katte stap elke dag ’n paar kilometer van tuin tot tuin? Nie so lank terug nie was daar ’n hewige polemiek oor sonde met die bure se katte. Min het ek toe geweet ek sal my vandag binne-in daardie debat bevind. Die probleem is beide mens én kat kyk graag na die voëls in die tuin, ’n belangebotsing, dus. Feit is, katte jag. Hulle kan dit nie help nie. Maar, hulle vang darem ook rotte en muise. Dis waarvoor die mensdom hulle so 10 000 jaar gelede begin mak maak het. Die volgende dag hou ek ons kat heeldag binne. En so wrintiewaar, hier teen skemer kom ’n boodskap weer van anderkant af: Nóg van haar hoenders is vandag aangeval. Dis net daar dat my tone toe krul van plesier, want daar is die bewys – dis nie my kat wat so lief is vir haar voëls en hoenders nie. Net om seker te maak, word sy hierdie hele week binne gehou, wat vir haar nogal erg is. Huiskatte is heel gelukkig om binne te bly as hulle nooit aan die buitewêreld blootgestel was nie. Maar in óns geval is sy gewoond aan buite wees. En in dieselfde boodskap wil buurvrou toe weet wat ons aan die probleem gaan doen. Wel, ek sê toe maar vir haar ons sal vir ons kat sê sy mag nie die bure se voëls vang nie. Kietsie se Afrikaans is darem nie te sleg nie. En boonop sal ons haar ’n onderneming in dier voege laat onderteken. Swart op wit. Kat se kind kry ook ’n halsband met nie een nie, maar twee klokke aangeheg sodat as sy iets wil vang, hulle haar kan hoor kom en kans het om te vlug. Navorsing het bewys hierdie maatreël kan die vang van klein diertjies deur huiskatte met tot 41% verminder. Wat sal ’n mens nie alles doen om tog die vrede te bewaar nie? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Want so ’n foto wil ek nooit weer kry of sien nie. ’n Foto van ’n verminkte hoender wat roerloos op ’n hopie sit. . Van die os op die jas: Ons moet deesdae mooi kophou in ons “veelvlakkige” samelewing. Ek meen, vir krag, water én die viruspandemie is daar elk ’n vlak. Dalk sal die formule KWV goed te pas kom. In my dagboek gaan ek elke dag die vlakke aanteken om kop te hou. Elke vlak het mos sy moets en moenies. Elke ding het sy tyd en plek. My formule sal iets wees soos K = 1, W = 2, V = 3. Op ’n ander dag kan dit wees K = 3, W = 4, V = 5. Wat V = 3 betref mag ons darem nou weer skoene met oop tone en hempies sonder moue koop. En ons mag selfs ’n zol swaai en dopsteek. Dalk KWV. – Werner van Tonder

Thanks for the memories, Newlands

felt at home. Farewell Newlands, thank you for everything. NIKITA SCHRONEN e-mail

“The sweetest part of leaving home is knowing that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you’ll always carry it with you.” A day I was dreading the most has come. On Saturday 23 January the last game of rugby was played at Newlands. It wasn’t the best game from the home team, but the past 133 years have been nothing short of magical. From seeing the likes of Corné Krige and Morne du Plessis run out to seeing the young guns of Jean-Luc du Plessis and Chris van Zyl running out of the oldest stadium in South Africa Newlands had it all. It had tears, it had laughter, it had lots of stressful moments, but most importantly, it was the home of many memories. It was the place where Chester Williams would break through the opposition defence on his way to the try line. It was the place where Schalk Burger could not wait to go into “Hulk mode” and tackle everybody in his way. It was the place where I watched my very first rugby game. How do you say goodbye to a place that’s like home? Newlands, thank you for being the best home anyone could have ever asked for. You gave me memories that I’ll carry in my heart forever - from my first time as a fan, when the flag was bigger than me, to my last time sitting in the stands when I attended the funeral of Chester Williams. They say home is not a place, it is a feeling. Every time I visited you, I

Een van die dae ry ons op sypaadjie Wanneer en wie gaan iets doen omtrent die slaggate in die strate van Vrijzee in Goodwood? Ons betaal mos getrou ons belasting. As dit só aangaan, gaan ons een van die dae op die sypaadjies ry. L. VAN ZYL Vrijzee

Dís kaalkop die waarheid Dankie TJ (“ ‘Dromkrappers’ probeer ook maar net oorleef”, TygerBurger 3 Februarie) vir jou reaksie op Dicky Liebenberg se skrywe (“Herwinning ’n probleem”, TygerBurger 27 Januarie). Graag lug ek ook my opinie oor hierdie interessante onderwerp. As iemand die verkeer reël, is hy ’n verkeersbeampte; wanneer iemand huise bou, is hy ’n bouer; wanneer hy motorfiets ry is hy outomaties ’n motorfietsryer en so kan ek aangaan tot volgende maand. Wat presies maak hierdie mense dan so spesiaal dat hul beroep nie gebruik kan word om hulle te beskryf nie? ’n Melkman is altemit die ou wat melk bring, of hoe? Ek verstaan dat hulle dalk nie die beste beroep gekies het nie of dat hulle in daardie omstandighede ingedwing is weens ander faktore, dalk buite hul beheer, maar terwyl hulle in dromme krap, is hulle dromkrappers. Sommige van hulle het ’n ekstra titel bygekry, naamlik oorlas of selfs dief. Dit klink dalk bietjie rof, maar van die arme bloedjies dink dit goed om jou

of my drom te steel en te gebruik om al die uitgesoekte drominhoud saam te karwei. Ek het self al twee verloor. Dan is daar die ouens wat jou vullis in of buite jou drom uitgooi om jou swart sakke te kry. Dit is ongelukkig die realiteit van hierdie outjies. Nie almal is sleg nie, maar ek hou nie van hulle nie weens die minderheid se gedrag. M. SUMMERS E-pos

Brackenfeller wil forum stig As Brackenfeller is ek besorg oor ons as gemeenskap. Wat verlede jaar se gebeure by die skool betref, en die gevolglike politieke speelveld en by tye politieke slaansak wat ons as gemeenskap geword het, het dit my laat wonder waar ons stem is in al die dinge. Wat het van die inset en stem van die gewone ou geword, die ou wat hier bly en in rus en vrede wil leef sonder die politieke geraas? Hoewel dit blyk dat daar wel organisasies in Brackenfell bestaan vir die gemeenskap, was daar geen inset of reaksie, wat jy dit ook al wil noem. Ek kon nie vasstel wat hulle doel, funksie of verteenwoordiging is nie, dus het ek begin besin oor alternatiewe. My vraag is, het dit nie tyd geword dat ons as gemeenskap na mekaar begin uitreik en met mekaar begin praat om ’n gemeenskapstem te kry – om inspraak te lewer daar waar dit ons alledaagse lewe en eiendom raak nie? As u my siening deel dat ons as gemeenskap ’n stem moet ontwikkel, om inspraak te hê daar waar dit saak maak, waar dit ons raak, stuur vir my ’n e-pos na npo@avibus.co.za met u besonderhede. WEHAHN GELDENHUYS Brackenfell

Belastingbetalers het ook regte Ek verwys na die berig verlede week oor die straatmense (“Curfew for homeless”, 27/1). Mnr. Zahid Badroodien sê dit is nie ’n oortreding om op straat te wees nie. Ek versoek u om hom te vra vir ’n uiteensetting van die regte van die munisipale belastingbetaler. Sekerlik het ons ’n reg om veilig te voel, nie bedreig te voel, nie in vuil taal gevloek te word en vieslike toilette langs ons grensmure te verduur, wat ’n gesondheidsrisiko is nie. Nie alle inwoners het manspersone om hulle by hul huise te beskerm nie. Maar die straatbewoners mag al hierdie dinge oortree. Stad Kaapstad se mense was al in my huis om die saak te bespreek. Daar het dadels van gekom. Daar is regulasies deur die Stad vir straatbewoners geskryf. Wat het óns? Net ’n hand vol vere. Die Stad het vir hom ’n lat gepluk en dinge toegelaat wat hy in der ewigheid nie ná inperking sal kan bestuur nie – bloot omdat straatmense regte het. Maar die jaar is verkiesingsjaar terwyl ons op ’n Zimbabwe afstuur. Dit is presies hoekom jong mense nie wil stem nie. Ons sit met drie in die huis wat hul skouers optrek en brom oor onbekwaamhede van die owerhede. En hulle is reg. Ons kan hulle nie kwalik neem nie, want ons kan nie hul standpunt verkeerd bewys nie. Sê asseblief vir mnr. Badroodien ons soek sy kommentaar oor die munisipale belastingbetaler se regte in die volgende publikasie van die TygerBurger. MARIANA VAN WYK Parow

SOMERSPORT: AMPSDRAERS HOOPVOL

Kompetisie aangeskuif SAREL BURGER

Reza Levy. in action in the Junior Max category..

Scintillating start to season The 2021 Western Cape Rotax Max Challenge karting season exploded to life on a typically searing Cape February day thankfully punctuated by an occasional breeze at Killarney on Saturday 13 February. The action was just as hot on track in a day of contrasts that saw both a bit of domination as well as some cracking fights for glory through the afternoon. Senior Max was surely the race of the day as Andrew Rackstraw took the overall win without winning a heat. In a dramatic afternoon, pole man and South African champion Tate Bishop exited the first race early, leaving Jason Coetzee to storm to the win from Rackstraw and Kyle Visser. Bishop then took advantage of a fraught five-way fight ahead of him to move up from the back and pounce for the lead and make off for the second race win over Kyle Visser, while Rackstraw and Storm Lanfear pulled a last lap move on Charl Visser for third and fourth. Bishop then took care of early leaders Rackstraw and Coetzee to make off for another heat win in the final, but Charl Visser’s day went from bad to worse when he exited after coming from behind to second to release Rackstraw, Kyle Visser and Lanfear after Coetzee was stripped of third for his part in Visser’s demise. That meant that Rackstraw took the day from Kyle Visser, Lanfear, the troubled Charl Visser and Coetzee. It was a different matter in DD2, where Joseph Oelz came, saw and conquered on his DD2 debut for his return to karting following a year away. Joseph put it on pole position and steamed away to a trio of race wins, with a fastest lap each time over reigning South African champion Sebastian Boyd. Behind them, Masters winner Conor Hughes kept the battling Jared Jordan, Andrew Thomas and Michael Jordan at bay for third overall, ahead of a splendid dice between Steve Beaumont, newcomer Rafe Tayler, Andre Steenkamp and rookie Gil Simoes.

It was a case of more domination when WP Mini champion Reza Levy put a season of quietly learning the bigger class to great use as he troubled the Senior frontrunners en route to a compelling high school Junior Max win. The constantly improving Matthew Wadeley however left Killarney with a new Junior Max lap record as he made Levy work for his final win. Wadeley also held Ethan Stier off for second overall with two heat seconds to Stier’s one with Jaden Jacobs fourth from Joshua Smit and Joaquin de Oliveira, both of whom later concentrated on their Mini Max afternoons. De Oliveira had a brilliant day in senior primary Mini Max as he made off up front to deliver a clean sweep with three fastest laps too. He left his rivals to fight it out among themselves as the top five each had a turn on the podium through the day in a great start to the Mini Max season. Out of town visitor Erich Heystek improved through the day to deliver a fine come from behind third in heat 2, before going one better to take second for the day by a point from Joshua Smit and another ever-improving local Jordon Wadeley, Keagen Beaumont, Jude Stuart, Ethan Deacon and Oliver Roach. While those three races saw domination, junior primary Micro Max was on the other hand once

again most entertaining. Kegan Martin overcame Dale Hobbs to win the first race but hit trouble in race 2, before bouncing back to pass Hobbs early and drive off to the final heat win. That was not enough to stoop Hobbs from taking the day from Martin, while Aiden Beaumont overcame a tight battle through the day to beat Eric Norman to third. They came home ahead of a most entertaining day long wrought between Matthew Roach, Matthew Chiwara and Siyabonga Ntuli for fifth. Michael Danks meanwhile laid early claim to the 2021 WP baby Bambino title with yet another dominant pole, triple race wins and a triple fastest lap run en route to the win for the day. Impressive Jozi rookie visitor Kayde Cornofsky diced all the way with Siyabonga Ntuli on their way to second and third. And John Norman pinched a podium third in the final heat en route to fourth from Ruan Lewis and Liam Wharton. The opening round of the Northern Regions Rotax Max Challenge is next up at the Formula K Raceway on 6 March, before the second round of the KZN regionals at iDube on 14 March. Then follows the first 2021 Rotax Max National back at Killarney on 26 March 2021. All races remain scheduled to continue without spectators under lockdown regulations.

omersport-ampsdraers bly steeds hoopvol dat wedstryde en byeenkomste wél nog later vanjaar afgehandel sal kan word. Ná alle sport op amateur- en skolevlak vir die res van die huidige somer afgelas is, word vertrou dat mededingende sport tog weer met die aanvang van die volgende somer in Oktober sal kan plaasvind. Indien die huidige afname in aktiewe viruspandemie-gevalle voortduur en terselfdertyd gehoor gegee word aan die voorgeskrewe protokol, behoort somersport-aktiwiteite oor ’n paar maande te realiseer. Die WP Noordelike Stadsgebiede Skolekrieket-streekunie (WPNS) het in der waarheid reeds besluit om vier van sy vyf kompetisies wat hierdie kwartaal sou plaasvind, na die begin van die volgende somer – dus die vierde kwartaal – aan te skuif. Dit sal onder meer matrikulante, wat nog vir oulaas wed-

stryde vir hul skoolspanne wil speel, die geleentheid daartoe gee. Buiten die WPNS se Saterdagligakompetisies vir o.19A-, o.15A- en o.14A-spanne sal die Sammy Bloch/Medicare Apteke-uitklopkompetisie op weeksdae vir skole se eerste spanne hopelik almal in die vierde kwartaal aangebied word. Net die kompetisie vir skole se o.19B-spanne sal verval. Ook die jaarlikse sesaan-’n-kant-toernooi wat vir Oktober geskeduleer was, sal nie vanjaar plaasvind nie. Afgesien van hierdie kwartaal se vier aangeskuifde kompetisies na Oktober sal die o.15en o.14-spanne se weekdag-uitklopkompetisies ook dan plaasvind. Maar, aangesien die vierde kwartaal ’n kort sportkwartaal is voor die jaareindeksamen begin, en om ’n opeenhoping van wedstryde te vermy, sal skole in die WPNS-gebied binnekort genader word met die voorstel dat van die wedstryde reeds in September afgehandel word.

Angelique, Maizie and Theo Buttress.

Former pro to uplift local women’s football REMO ANDREWS The Bantwana College non-profit company (NPC) launched in Cape Town on Sunday 14 February, at Fives Futbol at Bayside Mall in Blouberg. The NPC was founded by Cape Town native, Theo Buttress in Gauteng with the aim of improving the development of women’s football in the country. A former professional footballer in the 80s, Buttress recognised a lack of football development in women’s football when his three daughters took an interest in the game but found that there was a lack of opportunity for them. Buttress said, “All three of my daughters love the game, we saw it as a family activity we all could enjoy. “My wife is also an avid footballer so when I found so little opportunity and resources for them to play the game regularly I felt it was my duty to do something about it.” When his oldest daughter, Angelique Buttress, moved back to

Cape Town after completing her Sports Science degree at the University of Pretoria, she decided to expand her father’s idea to Cape Town. “My primary goal is to encourage women empowerment through the sport. We want to nurture talent but also promote a healthy overall lifestyle. Whether you are a great footballer already or are just starting we have something to offer everyone,” she said. This ethos is very much in line with her father’s original idea. “Our vision is to reach as many young potential female footballers as we can and to provide them with an education other than academic, such as life skills, entrepreneurial skills, and financial planning skills, to create a culture of equality, empowerment and hope for a brighter future for female athletes in South Africa,” said Buttress. Bantwana will have their first tournament at Fives Futbol at Bayside Mall in Blouberg on Sunday 28 February.
