BRACKENFELL: ONWETTIGE VERWERKINGSAANLEG

Valke lê beslag op perlemoen DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

ie Valke het verlede week in samewerking met misdaadintelligensie en die nasionale bosbou-en-visseryedepartement toegeslaan op ’n onwettige perlemoenverwerkingsaanleg in ’n luuksewoonkompleks in Brackenfell. Die klopjag het op Dinsdag 23 Februarie plaasgevind. Perlemoen van meer as R2,7 miljoen is gevind en twee verdagtes, 26 en

36 jaar oud, is in hegtenis geneem. Volgens Zinzi Hani, ’n woordvoerder van die Valke, is daar beslag gelê op 5 837 gedroogde perlemoene by die wooneenheid in Willow Creek in die suide van Brackenfell. “Met die operasie gaan die Valke volstoom voort met die taak om onwettige perlemoenaanlegte in Kaapstad af te takel,” sê Hani. Die verdagtes het Donderdag 25 Februarie in die Kuilsrivier-landdroshof verskyn op aanklag van die onwettige bedryf van ’n perlemoenverwerkingsaanleg.

In November 2017 is perlemoen van R5 miljoen in ’n verwerkingsaanleg in Brackenfell gevind en in Julie dieselfde jaar het die polisie toegeslaan op ’n plaas langs die Bottelarypad, waar meer as 30 000 perlemoene gevind is. Op ’n perseel in Okavangopark is vier bokse gedroogde perlemoen gevind – verpak en gereed vir uitvoer. Die delikate seekoslekkerny, ’n bedreigde spesie in die Kaapse waters, word meestal uit die land uit gesmokkel waar dit op restaurantborde in China en Hongkong eindig.

rie TygerBurger-uitgawes het onderskeidelik tweede en derde plekke behaal in die Forum vir Gemeenskapsjoernaliste (FCJ) se jaarlikse toekennings vir uitnemendheid. Twee joernaliste van TygerBurger, asook verskeie joernaliste en susterskoerante in die res van die Kaap en Boland, het ook in die kompetisie geskitter. Die wenners van die 2019-toekennings vir uitnemendheid is Vrydag in ’n aanlyn uitsending op YouTube aangekondig nadat die Covid-19-pandemie die toekenningsgeleentheid, wat in Junie verlede jaar sou plaasgevind het, gekniehalter het. In die TygerBurger-stal het die Kraaifontein- en Bellville-uitgawes onderskeidelik tweede en derde plekke behaal in die kategorie Koerant van die Jaar: gratis koerante in

korporatiewe besit met ’n bladoplaag van minder as 24. TygerBurger Brackenfell is tweede in dieselfde kategorie vir koerante met ’n bladoplaag van meer as 24. TygerBurger Durbanville was ’n finalis.

Julle is die room van die oes in ons bedryf.”

Late harvest in Durbanville full of promise ESMÉ ERASMUS Harvest time in the Durbanville wine valley is in full swing, despite a very late start this year – partly due to the cooler weather in January and February. Thys Louw, owner-winemaker of Diemersdal Wine Estate, says their harvest time started on 3 February – more than 10 days later than previous years. “This is applicable to vineyards from Vredendal to Plettenberg Bay,” he says. However, says Louw, although considered to be “late”, this was the first harvest in almost 15 years that is regarded as a “normal” year in the Durbanville wine valley. “There were a lot of contributing factors. This first sign that we would have a normal, later harvest was the late winter until September. “This contributed to a cold blooming period,” he says. According to Louw, vice-chair of the Sauvignon Blanc SA committee and a board member of Wine of South Africa, the heat wave this past weekend will not have significant effect, as all the grapes for their white wines, including sauvignon blanc, have already been harvested, while most of the red cultivars are still on the vines. “It is not only a decent size crop, but we also have impressive flavours – especially the sauvignon blanc cultivar boasts with fantastic flavours,” he says. Last Wednesday morning at Meerendal it was time for the oldest vineyard in Durbanville, a 66-year-old pinotage vineyard, to show what it’s got. Meerendal boasts the oldest vineyard in the Durbanville ward which forms part of the Wine of Origin Cape Town, says Bennie Howard, marketing manager of Meerendal Wine Estate. “The pinotage heritage block vineyard at Meerendal was planted in 1955 and is still producing amazing wines,” Howard says. This is one of only three remaining old pinotage vineyards in South Africa that are still producing high quality wine. These old pinotage vines are from the original plantings of Prof Abraham Izak Perold, the father of pinotage, that were made available to wine farmers at that time. Meerendal made the first wine from this vineyard under the Heritage Block label in

This has contributed to healthy grapes that are full of beautiful rich flavours,” he says. According to Howard they usually start to harvest the sauvignon blanc cultivar at the end of January, but also only started last week with two blocks. They have also already harvested their pinot noir and chardonnay for their methode cap classique, as well as pinot noir en pinotage for their rosé wine. Merlot, shiraz and the other pinotage blocks are not yet ready to be harvested, he says. They also expect to harvest the new blocks

of cabernet sauvignon, which was planted three years ago, even later. However, the harvest looks promising when it comes to flavour. “Durbanville is known for its colder weather and flavoursome wines. This year, due to the cooler weather in January and February, the fruit flavours of the wine developed beautifully,” he says.

Construction of a dual carriageway on Darwin Road will take place throughout the month of March. The City’s transport sirectorate advises that the project, which forms part of a broader road improvement project to upgrade Darwin Road, will take place in a phased approach in order to minimise disruption to traffic. Work on this project will take place between 07:30 and 17:30 on weekdays and, when needed, Saturdays. If the weather permits, the City anticipates the work to go on for about eight

months. This is done to improve the flow of traffic while maintaining the safety of road users. Darwin Road will convert between Brighton Road and Mostert Street from a single to two direction lanes in each direction. Non-motorised transport facilities will also be improved while new streetlights will be installed. Traffic circles at intersections will also be constructed. Residents are urged to note that dates

might change if unforeseen circumstances arise. It should also be noted that traffic moving in both directions will be affected and through-traffic on Darwin Road will be controlled by a stop-and-go system in order to allow one direction of traffic at a time. The City says signage will be put in places visible to road users and everyone are requested to adhere to these signs.

Two K’fontein policemen die in shooting THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Local organisation Kraaifontein Community Development Forum condemns the killing of two on-duty police officers on Sunday 28 February. The organisation’s Louise Botha says the news came as a shock and she is disgusted by the crime. “We are calling on the community to provide police with necessary information that will lead to the arrest of those involved, Botha says. He says the organisation has the wellbeing of the families at heart and hopes that arrests are made soon. Kraaifontien police made a breakthrough in the case on Monday 1 March when they arrested a 32-year-old man who is suspected to have played a part in the killing of the two officers. The arrest happened in Khayelitsha.

“Together with the Hawks’s national priority violent crimes team, crime intelligence officers and the K9 unit, the officers went on an intelligence-driven operation and arrested the suspect in Mandela Park. According to provincial police spokesperson Col Andrè Traut, the slain officers were ambushed while on patrol in Bloekombos and the vehicle they were driving in apparently came under fire. The officers were identified as 45-yearold sgt Mnakwazo Welcome Mdoko and Const Mninawa Breakfast (28). They have been with the station since 2018 and 2017 respectively. “The acting provincial commissioner, Maj Gen Thembisile Patekile, immediately instituted the 72-hour activation plan with mobilisation of various police units to apprehend those responsible for the officers’ death,” Traut says. He further explains that both officers,

who died on the scene, were robbed of their firearms. The Hawks have been assigned to investigate circumstances surrounding the crime. We appeal to the public to come forward with information that will assist us in bringing these criminals to book,” Traut says. Patekile conveyed his condolences and vowed his support to the families of the two officers. Kraaifontein police station’s acting station commissioner Col Mmonopeli Magobiyane says the slain officers did not deserve to have this done to them. “Kraaifontein police will continue to serve and protect the community of as well as track and arrest the suspects responsible for this senseless crime,” he says. Police minister Bheki Cele was expected to visit the station and the families of the slain officers yesterday (2 March). V To send an anonymous tip-off, residents can call the Crime Stop hotline on 08600 10111.

Vermeende dwelmsmous vas DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke ’n Man (31) van Bellville is op Woensdag 24 Februarie in Brackenfell in ’n geheime operasie weens dwelmhandel in hegtenis geneem.

Shopping in B’fell now world-class DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

foodie heaven and shopper’s paradise await you when you step into the revamped Checkers Hyper at Fairbridge Mall in Brackenfell; and this is no exaggeration. Not only is this new state-of-the-art flagship supermarket the first of its kind the group opened in the Western Cape, but even the “Old Lady” of malls received a long overdue facelift with a modern new look that will house shops such as Clicks, Milady’s, Capitec, Crazy Store and Pick n Pay Clothing. The store was revealed after the red ribbon was cut on Thursday, 25 February. On entering the store, you are drawn in by an exquisite if not sinful chocolatier bar with its rows of locally-made, hand-crafted artisanal chocolates created by My Sugar. Alongside this, the aroma of fresh coffee beans on display lure you away. A few steps down a rotating sushi bar tempts, or if you prefer, a sit-down at the instore Kauai, or a prego roll at the on-site food truck. An imported, and may I say very impressive rodizio grill boasts mouth-watering hot foods and the high-end bakery features well known brands like Schoon and Houwhoek pies; also, keep an eye out for the artisan breads and macarons!

An in-house temperature controlled wine store offers an assortment of wines from 100 leading estates, and more international wines than any other supermarket in South Africa, along with French champagne and Italian Prosecco. Impressively, the room is equipped with innovative digital screens that customers can use to search for wines according to various factors, like cheese and food pairing recommendations. Pairings can then be found in-store at the cheese section boasting international and local cheeses and a dizzying smorgasbord of charcuterie at the deli. A one-stop-shop, this flagship store also has a dedicated wellness section, party shop, and improved pet department. “With a strong emphasis on fresh food and convenience, customers can look forward to an improved store layout. “The new store has wider aisles and seamless floors that allow trolleys to move with limited noise,” says Angelique Wagner, a spokesperson of the Shoprite group. MediRite pharmacy, a dedicated outdoor section, TechX, where customers can find the best tech deals, a party shop with helium bar, a water filling station, and even a standalone pet department is there too. “In launching this one-of-a-kind shopping experience, the new store in Brackenfell has also created 48 new jobs, bringing the total staff complement at the store to 274,” says Wagner.

At the ribbon cutting from left are Arnold Johannes (deputy divisional manager: Checkers Western Cape), Willem Hunlun (chief operating officer: Checkers), Gavin Wilson (divisional manager: Checkers Western Cape), Pieter Engelbrecht (CEO), Latiefa Smith (Checkers Hyper Brackenfell branch manager), Ryno Palm (regional manager) and Emo Adams.

New traffic cops in training DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke A total of 90 new traffic officer recruits this month started a 12-month traffic officer’s training course at Gene Louw Traffic College in Brackenfell. Once completed, participants may be offered a position as a provincial traffic officer at one of the thirteen Western Cape traffic centres. The course consists of 31 unit standards covering subjects that include the implementation of the National Road Traffic Act and the Criminal Procedure Act, as well as guidelines for road traffic law enforcement. “Participants will also undergo firearm competency training, first aid training, training in basic firefighting, and additional driving training where necessary,” says spokesperson for the provincial department of transport and public works Jandré Bakker. Participants will be receiving training accredited by the Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authori-

ty and Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). “Those found competent during practical and theoretical assessments and successfully complete the course will graduate with a qualification in Road Traffic Law Enforcement,” says Bakker. Bakker says trainees will work alongside experienced officials to sharpen their knowledge and know-how. “They will also get the opportunity to apply their new skills in a high-pressure environment, for example, controlling traffic and systematically roadside inspection of vehicles, as well as applying the National Road Traffic Act. During the Covid-19 pandemic, traffic officers have also been helping enforce relevant provisions of the Disaster Management Act and its regulations. “The department’s traffic service has had a number of major successes in recent years. In addition to regular traffic law enforcement, during roadside operations, traffic officers regularly confiscate illegal goods such as abalone, drugs, and illicit cigarettes,” says Bakker.

Fietsryer gered ná ongeluk ESMÉ ERASMUS

’n

Fietsryer van Bloubergstrand het moontlik sy lewe te danke aan die sameloop van omstandighede toe hy tydens ’n oefenrit op die Bloemendal-wynlandgoed geval het. Maurizio de Pol (59) van West Beach het verlede Maandagoggend op ’n bruggie op die fietsroete beheer oor sy fiets verloor en booor die handvatsels geval en op ’n klip te lande gekom. Hy het drie ribbes gebreek en ander sny- en skraapwonde opgedoen. Hy het asemhalingsprobleme ondervind nadat sy regterlong deurboor is en vog rondom sy ribbes opgebou het, wat daartoe gelei het dat die long gedeeltelik platgeval het.

Hy is heel toevallig gevind deur twee vroue wat ook daar op ’n makliker fietsroete gery het – van wie een ’n opgeleide ER24-paramedikus. Volgens Marile van Niekerk (34) het sy en haar vriendin, Kate Shannon van Wyk (35), van Durbanville net ná 08:00 daar fietsgery. “Ons het die gewone groen roete gery en toe ons teen die tweede bult opry, het ek vir Kate gewys in die rigting van die swart roete en vir haar gesê eendag as ons goeie fietsryers is, moet ons dié roete probeer. “Sy het toe in die rigting gekyk waarna ek gewys het en gesien daar lê iemand in die veld. Ons het die onderkant van die swart roete gevolg tot by die beseerde man. “Ons het hom gekry waar hy langs sy fiets

gelê het – met bloed, snymerke en afgeskaafde vel aan albei sy arms,” sê sy. Sy regterskouer was geswel en erg gekneus en daar was ’n groot knop aan sy regtersy. Volgens Van Niekerk, wat drie jaar as ER24-paramedikus by die Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt gewerk het, het die beseerde man sy bewussyn verloor. Hulle het sy foon en beursie gesoek en kon só sy identiteit bevestig. “Nog ’n fietsryer het toe daar verbygekom en ons kom help. Ek het intussen die ontvangs by Bloemendal gebel en ook ER24 vir ’n ambulans. “Ons kon ook sy vrou bel, wat ook op Bloemendal fietsgery het, maar net op ’n ander

roete,” sê sy. Nadat sy hom gestabiliseer het, het hulle daarin geslaag om hom na ’n paadjie te neem waar die ambulans hom sou oplaai. “Hy het verskriklike pyn verduur en gesukkel om asem te haal en kon nie plat lê nie. Sy vrou het intussen ook daar opgedaag en ons het vir die ambulans gewag.” Hy is na die Mediclinic Durbanville geneem waar hy dae lank in die hoësorgeenheid versorg is. Hy is verlede Donderdag ontslaan. “Ek is net so dankbaar dat ek vir Kate by my gehad het, wat hom raakgesien het en dat sy en die ander fietsryer my kon help,” sê sy. De Pol het die vroue bedank vir alles wat hulle vir hom gedoen het en gesê hy was werklik geseënd met hul sorg. “As dit ook nie was vir Kate wat my raakgesien het nie, kon ek wie weet hoe lank daar gelê het, en met ’n platgevalde long kon dit sleg uitgedraai het,” het hy gesê.

B’fell Covid field hospital receives care packages Under the watchful eye of provincial health minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, Checkers Hyper Brackenfell on Thursday donated 580 care packages to health workers at the Brackengate Covid-19 field hospital. The occasion also marked the official re-opening of the new revamped shop. The packages were given as a token of appreciation for medical and support personnel who have been working tirelessly in the fight against Covid-19.

Hospital launches vaccination site K

arl Bremer Hospital launched its vaccination tent on Tuesday 23 February, boosting the provincial health department’s efforts to immunise staff against Covid-19. The hospital joins Tygerberg Hospital, Groote Schuur Hospital and Khayelitsha District Hospital in the roll-out of the Johnson & Johnson vaccinations to healthcare workers who form part of phase one of the roll-out. Sister Iris Adams has worked as a nurse for over 43 years and received the first vaccination at the launch on Tuesday. “I feel good and I was excited. I decided to take the vaccine today because we have been waiting for it for so long and now it is here,” Adams says. Nomvuyo Sihoyiya, a general worker, was next in line to get her shot and says it was not as painful as she had expected. “I feel fine and I am happy that I was able to get the vaccine. I am doing this to protect myself and others.”

Dr Sue le Roux, one of the medical doctors, became emotional after receiving her jab and has encouraged all healthcare workers to consider vaccination. “I am beyond excited. I have dreamt of this day and it is finally here. I encourage all our healthcare workers to step up and to take the vaccine. It is the best thing we can do for ourselves and others,” she says. Jonathan Lucas, hospital chief executive, also joined his team to get vaccinated and described the launch as an exciting day for healthcare workers at the hospital. “This is an exciting opportunity for us to get vaccinated to protect ourselves and our co-workers. My message to our healthcare workers is, let us all unite. The vaccine is safe and you can make the choice to make a difference,” says Lucas. V The health department encourages healthcare workers to register on the electronic vaccine data system to get their jab at https://vaccine.enroll.health.gov.za/

Staff are seated inside the vaccination tent at Karl Bremer before getting their shots.

Brackenfell Lions to roar again DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

rackenfell Lions are well on its way in its endeavours to restore the once vibrant club to its former glory. Lions Club International is an international non-political service organisation established originally in 1917 in Chicago, Illinois, by Melvin Jones. As of January 2020, it had over 46 000 local clubs and more than 1.4 million members, including the youth wing Leo, in more than 200 countries around the world. Membership numbers at the Brackenfell club have dwindled over the years due to many factors, but following a recent call for new members (“Lions Club plans to revive in Brackenfell, TygerBurger 17 February), the club had a fair response from the public last week with many new faces at the last meeting. “We would like to thank those readers who expressed their interest in joining our club and who attended our ‘meet and greet’ session on 24 February. We are ever grateful for the interest shown and know that there are many more like minded people out there who may have missed our first post or maybe who have been thinking about it and are not yet sure.

“Attending one of our sessions creates no expectations from our side because we respect the preferences of each and every individual. What we do know is that once you have been and experienced what Lions International is all about, you will not want to change your mind,” says acting chair Gary Badenhorst. Brackenfell Lions Club was established in 1973. “As a service organisation we serve the community at large. When disaster strikes Lions International are the first to respond,” says Badenhorst. The stated purpose of Lions Club International include to promote the principles of good government and good citizenship; to take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community; to unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding and to provide a forum for the open discussion of all matters of public interest. Membership is open to anyone and everyone, including children. Their next “meet and greet” will take place at 19:00 at their club house at 5 Dorrey Street, Brackenfell, on 11 March. VFor more information contact Gary Badenhorst at 072 078 8857.

Die Laerskool Brackenfell se ondersteuningspan is, agter van links, Ena Oberholzer, Inge-Mari Veldsman (maatskaplike werker), Sias Janse van Vuuren (wiskunde-leerondersteuning), Annari Laker (opvoedkundige sielkundige) en Esmé HunsInger (multigraadhulpbronklas). Voor staan Annemarie Sprong (grondslagfase-leerondersteuning).

Leerondersteuning by Brackies mik nog hoër Die Laerskool Brackenfell neem leerondersteuning vanjaar na ’n nuwe vlak en plaas Brackies in ’n klas van sy eie met die unieke hulpverlening wat by dié skool aan leerders gebied word. Benewens ’n trotse 115 jaar lange tradisie van uitnemendheid onderskei die skool homself steeds met baanbrekerswerk in die lewering van innoverende en omvattende hulpdienste aan die gemeenskap. “Brackies se status as ’n voldiensskool word beklemtoon met die uitbreiding van die skool se ondersteuningsdienste, waar die didaktiese afdeling nou ook die grondslagfase insluit. “Die skool beskik oor drie voltydse opvoeders vir hulpverlening in wiskunde en moedertaalonderrig aan ál die leerders in

beide Afrikaans en Engels,” sê ’n woordvoerder van die skool. Meer as 200 van die skool se leerders met uitvalle baat reeds daarby. Brackies se grondslagfase volg ook vanaf vanjaar ’n fonologiese bewustheidsprogram as voorbereiding vir die leesproses in graad een, onder leiding van Elfreda Olivier, die skool se jare lange adjunkhoof, wat die leerders evalueer en onttrek vir hulpverlening. “Die Laerskool Brackenfell is ook een van die weinig openbare skole wat leerders in ’n multigraadhulpbronklas akkommodeer. Hierdie leerlinge integreer buite klasverband met al die skool se aktiwiteite,” sê die woordvoerder. Brackies se hulpdienste sluit reeds jare lank ’n eie voltydse opvoedkundige sielkundige, asook ’n maatskaplike werker, in, wat albei in diens van die skool is. Die skool maak ook gebruik van ’n arbeidsterapeut, wie se dienste aan ouers uitgekontrakteer word. “Die Laerskool Brackenfell rond sy ondersteuningsrol aan die gemeenskap af met ’n omgee-afdeling wat omsien na behoeftige gesinne in die omgewing en werk nóú saam met Brackenfell-Wes se NG kerk in ’n poging om die nood in die omgewing uit die skool se koskas te help verlig.”

SLICE OF LIFE

Snert vs feite: Dink logies daaroor Soms gebeur dinge wat ’n mens maar kan sê by bisar verby is. En as jy dit nie met jou eie oë gesien het nie, sou jy dit dalk nie geglo het nie. So is die volgende storie my eenkeer vir die waarheid vertel. ’n Omie lê luilekker in die son op ’n Kaapse strand, half aan die slaap. Seevoëls krys om hom heen en die branders raas. Toe kom ’n seuntjie met sy draairoomys verby, maar hy struikel en die roomys val van die horinkie af, net mooi op die oom se bors. Hy skrik wakker van die ysigkoue ding op sy bors en al wat hy half verdwaas kan uitkry, is “magtag, kom hierdie seevoëls van die Suidpool af?” Net verlede week sien ek in die media die berig oor die man van wie se tong ’n vrou ’n stuk afgebyt en uitgespoeg het. Die volgende oomblik kom ’n reusemeeu, pik dit op en weg is hy. Die twee mense het glo gestry en toe handgemeen geraak. Dit kom toe so dat die vrou eers die man stamp en hom toe probeer soen om terug te veg. En net daar gee sy sy tong ’n yslike hap van so 3 cm. Die man is hospitaal toe, maar dokters kon nie veel vir hom doen nie, want daar was niks om aan te heg nie. En die vrou is hegtenis geneem en het in die hof skuld beken. Die vonnis is nog nie bekend nie. Nóg vreemder as fiksie was toe ’n jong man nou die dag beweer het Helen Zille, voorsitter van die DA se Federale Raad, het ’n mikroskyfie in sy kop geplant. Sy is op sosiale media omtrent hieroor gekasty en moes bontstaan om te verduidelik dis nie waar nie. Die man het selfs ’n gevolg op Facebook opgebou van mense wat glo sy bewering is waar. Zille het ruiterlik erken sy weet nie so mooi hoe om die situasie te hanteer nie. En sy ken die man nie eens nie. Maar, sy sou hom wel vir mediese hulp verwys as sy kon. As ek Zille was, sou ek waarskynlik nie in die openbaar op so ’n waansinnige bewering reageer nie, bloot omdat dit my sou kon blootstel aan nog mense wat nie al hul varkies op hok het nie. Dis jammer, maar dis die werklikheid – daar is mense wat nie tussen fantasie en werklikheid kan onderskei nie. Dis ’n vreesaanjaende siekte van die brein en sulke mense beweeg tussen ons rond. Kom ons wees nou net vir ’n oomblik realisties en neem die wette van die wetenskap in ag. Sou dit fisiologies en fisiek moontlik wees vir iemand om enigiets in my of jou kop te plant sonder ’n operasie onder narkose? En sonder dat ons weet die operasie word uitgevoer? Reg geraai. Dis snert. En daarom sou ek ook nie daarop reageer as iemand so ’n bewering sou maak nie. Maar as iemand hom wil verbeel hy is Alice in Wonderland, laat hulle maar begaan. Los net MY kop en MY tong uit, dankie. Ek het hulle nog nodig. – Werner van Tonder

Probleem word nie ordentlik opgelos nie In antwoord op die brief “Komiteelid gee antwoord” (TygerBurger, 24 Februarie). Dit is nie dat ’n mens nie begrip het vir die Stad Kaapstad se uitdagings betreffende hawelose mense en die pandemie wat dit vererger het nie, maar haweloosheid was reeds daar lank voor die pandemie. Die N1 begin nou al ook soos ’n plakkerskamp lyk met al die strukture aan weerskante van die pad asook op van die middelmannetjies. Op sekere plekke begin dit soos ’n dump site lyk soos wat die rommel by oornagplekke agtergelaat word en die wind dit die hele wêreld vol waai. Een van die redes waarom daar geen vordering is nie, is omdat die Stad ’n beleid volg om “probleme op ’n klagtebasis aan te pak”. As jy drie konyne in ’n park los, het jy binnekort 100 en het jy ’n probleem om hulle dan te verwyder. Oor die jare is daar al honderde en dalk duisende operasies uitgevoer waarin haweloses “verwyder” is, strukture afgebreek en rommel weggery is. Die vraag is, wat was die doel van die operasie? Was dit om die “klaer” tydelik tevrede te stel of was dit om die probleem op te los? Met geen opvolgoperasie nie was dit eintlik ’n “vrugtelose oefening”, want sodra die wetstoepassers onttrek keer die haweloses terug. Wanneer die volgende klagte miskien oor ses maande ontvang word, dan word die hele oefening net weer herhaal. In dieselfde TygerBurger is berig oor ’n hawelose, sy vrou en sy ma wat al nege

jaar langs die heining van die munisipale kantore in Kraaifontein woon. Sou u reken dit is normaal, aanvaarbaar en in belang van alle mense? Ná nege jaar sal dit definitief ’n uitdaging wees om hulle te verwyder! LEON BRYNARD Brackenfell

Kos uitsit maak die probleem erger Na aanleiding van die skrywe “Vullisdae lok misdadigers”. Die punt is, die mense hoort nie hier in ons buurte nie. Baie mense sit kos uit, waarom? Só lok jy nog meer in die buurte in. Daar is al geskryf deur mense dat die wat soos ek dink nie ’n hart het nie. Ja, ek kry die mense jammer, maar daar het julle nou weer ’n les geleer – misdadigers gebruik dit as ’n dekmantel. As dit moontlik is, en ek is by die huis, wys ek hulle weg. Ek is nie bereid om ’n kans te waag nie – een van die dae bly hulle in parkies of op ’n erf langs jou huis. Hou op kos uitsit, julle wat dit doen, veroorsaak probleme vir ander! JOHAN GREEFF E-pos

Sies man! Die muur is nie ’n toilet nie! Dit was onooglik en het my met afsku vervul! Verlede Vrydag moes ek ’n posstuk by die Parow-poskantoor gaan afhaal. My motor was in die dwarsstraat daaragter parkeer. Ek was gou geholpe en met die uitstap, sien ek drie mans wat net om die hoek van Voortrekkerweg teen die muur staan en urineer – so helder oordag en sonder om skaam te wees! Dis darem

baie swak en onaanvaarbaar vir enige dorp. Dis ’n plek waar baie vroue en kinders beweeg. Dit is uiters swak advertensie vir enige dorp en ook onhigiënies. Ek weet daar is wel openbare toiletgeriewe in die omgewing van Shoprite in Parow, maar dit is beslis nie voldoende vir almal nie. Ook is dit te ver van die middedorp. Ek dink werklik dis ’n saak wat ernstig aangepak moet word. Ek sal dit baie opreg waardeer indien daar iets aan gedoen kan word. Dit is in die belang van die publiek en kan nie net onder die mat gevee word nie. MEV. JOSSIE JOOSTE Parow-Noord

Red die natuur, los plastiek Plastieksakke is so gerieflik, dat ons as Suid-Afrikaners jaarliks ongeveer 8 miljard daarvan gebruik. Soos van julle weet, is plastiek ’n sintetiese stof wat beteken dit is nie natuurlik nie. Dit neem dus 15 tot 100 jaar om af te breek! Sommige plastiek is lig-afbreekbaar en besoedel die grond en waterweë. Die gevolg is definitief nie net ’n vasteafvalprobleem nie; seediere verstik aan die plastiek of word daarin vasgevang. Dink bietjie daaroor; net 1,2% van alle plastiek wat jy (ja, jy) weggooi, word herwin! En die res? Die meeste beland op ’n stortingsterrein. Die afgelope 20 jaar gee ons nie meer om wat ons aan die aarde doen nie. Ons kan mos net ons rommel by die venster uitgooi. Nee! Ons kan nie. Dink bietjie daaroor, as jy wil hê jou kind moet weet hoe lyk ’n seeskilpad, dan moet jy ’n verskil begin maak. Volg die volgende wenke:

. Neem jou eie sakke winkel toe. . Begin minder plastiek gebruik. . Dink weer voor jy ja sê vir ’n plastieksak. ERIK GROBLER E-pos

Kom ons hernoem ook die Kaap Miskien moet ons nie naamsveranderings sonder meer verwerp nie. Dat die bruinmense ook die erkenning kry wat hulle toekom, moet verwelkom word. Dawid Stuurman vir die lughawe in Port Elizabeth en Franklin Sonn in Athlone is in die kol. Sekere ander name laat egter die tong knoop. Of die land die naamsveranderinge kan bekostig, is egter ’n ander saak. Wie betaal daarvoor? Deesdae tel geldmors deur die owerheid mos nie meer nie. Dalk moet gemeenskappe begin om die gebruik om naamsveranderings in onuitspreeklike name te verander, voorspring en weer die inheemse name begin teruggee. So kan Durbanville dalk sy aanvanklike naam van Pampoenkraal terugkry. Dit is onafhanklik en het geen rasse of koloniale konnotasie nie. Selfs die oorspronklike bewoners van die gebied, die Khoi, het nie ’n naam vir Durbanville gehad nie. Niemand word dus te na gekom nie. Begin sommer kyk na ander name hier in die Wes-Kaap. Wat sal ’n mens byvoorbeeld Bellville, Parow, Malmesbury, Milnerton, Moorreesburg, Hopefield, Darling en Ashton noem? Inwoners kan interessante voorstelle maak. ADAMUS P. STEMMET Durbanville

Living with muscle dystrophy TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

rawling, walking, running and jumping about . . . These are considered “normal” milestones for many children, but not those suffering from muscular dystrophy. In the light of Rare Disease Day, which was first celebrated on 29 February 2008 – a “rare” date – the objective is to raise awareness about this rare disease. Through interaction with Dianne de Graaf of the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation in Goodwood, TygerBurger learned the stories of two little boys, aged one and five respectively. “Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, ‘abnormal’ genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. There are many kinds of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood. Other types don’t surface until adulthood. These disorders affect children and adults. The disease is usually inherited with the defective gene being passed on from one generation to the next. To date there is no cure available for muscular dystrophy,” explained Dianne, who is the manager for the foundation’s Cape region. Lukas van der Walt from Melkbosstrand and Lian van Eyk from Springs in Gauteng have both been diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy called LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy. According to Dianne, Laming A/C congenital muscular dystrophy (LMNA-CMD) is predominantly congenital and on the severe end of the spectrum. “Affected individuals have a weak neck and axial muscles, can develop ‘dropped head’ syndrome and may not achieve sitting. Contracture of the achilles

tendons, hips, knees and spine are involved. Scoliosis and spine rigidity can develop. Some affected individuals can achieve walking but will lose that ability later. Respiratory insufficiencies develop requiring intervention. Cardiac conduction abnormalities can occur,” she explained. Lukas van der Walt’s father, Tjaart, chatted to TygerBurger on Monday afternoon when he shared that his wife, Lize, had a smooth pregnancy with no complications. “Lukas was born on 10 June 2019. He was a week overdue. We had planned for normal birth, but Lize was taken in for an emergency c-section. At birth, he had breathing issues and doctors saw that he had hypoplastic lungs which means his lungs weren’t developed properly. Lukas was then taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (Nicu). At twomonths-old, more testing was done as he made very little movement. When Lukas was three-months-old he was diagnosed with LMNA-CMD.” At four months Lukas was given a tracheostomy that involves creating an opening in the neck to place a tube into his windpipe. He is fed through this pipe and is also on a ventilator. Tjaart said he can breathe on his own, but he is kept on the ventilator because his diaphragm is a muscle. Despite the challenges, Tjaart described Lukas as a very strong-willed toddler. “He says a few words like ‘mamma’. While we don’t know his life expectancy, we have peace that his life is one of quality. My wife and I have grown a lot as individuals during this time and we’ve made the choice to give him a quality life.” Lian van Eyk’s mother, Hanti, spoke to the newspaper to share in their family’s journey. “Lian is our ‘laat lammetjie’ as his sister is 18 and brother 12-years-old. He was our surprise baby. My pregnancy was quite normal and I delivered via c-section. He was

Lukas van der Walt (1) from Melkbosstrand is a little muscle dystrophy fighter. very tiny, weighing in at 2.2kg. “Everything seemed to be going well until my husband and I noticed that he can’t lift his head. At the age of crawling, no crawling

took place. We took him to the paediatrician who then referred us to a neurologist,” said Hanti. She said necessary blood tests were done and Lian was also taken for a muscle biopsy where he tested positive for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 2B. Fifteen days before his second birthday the family got the final diagnosis which indicated that he suffers from LMNA-CMD. “Raising Lian opened our eyes to a world we never would have experienced otherwise. It teaches you more about patience, unconditional love, hope and grace. You get a different perspective on what matters in life. You suddenly realise that time is a precious gift and you never know when things might change. You recognise the significance of small things in life. You live in the moment. You find joy in that ‘wheelchair chase’ around the house or in the excitement of reaching another milestone – not to mention the witty comments only special needs parents would understand,” said Hanti. Lian is unable to eat on his own so he’s fed through a mic-key feeding tube, Hanti said. “Small things that come with no effort for us are a huge challenge to him, like simply lifting his arms. However, none of these challenges can dampen the brave and joyful spirit of this young boy. No matter what challenges Lian faces he always has a smile on his face. He is a little “chatterbox” who amuses everyone with his humour and cute personality. “He absolutely loves driving around in his power wheelchair, chasing his brother and sister around the house. He gets excited about everything and is always ready for whatever life throws at him.” For more information about muscular dystrophy visit the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation of South Africa website at www.mdsa.org.za.

Bertish Bertish to to take take on on the the Pacific Pacific

Capetonian Chris Bertish plans to embark on the Transpacific Wing Project, the world’s first solo, wing foil, transpacific crossing in June. The two-month long record-setting Transpacific Wing Project follows Bertish’s world first, solo, unsupported, Trans-Atlantic stand-up paddleboard crossing that garnered global attention and raised money for multiple global charities in 2017. For this next adventure, Bertish will solo wing foil 4 586km across the Pacific Ocean from Half Moon Bay in California to Oahu in Hawaii. The journey will require Bertish to complete the equivalent of more than two full marathons per day, winging a minimum of eight to 12 hours per day, for over fifty days, unsupported and completely unassisted. The Transpacific Wing Project craft was custom-built for Bertish’s 2017 solo, stand up paddle journey across the Atlantic Ocean.. PHOTO: BOB STAWICKI

SKOLEKRIEKET: GEEN WEDSTRYDE VIR DIE RES VAN SOMER

Beamptes is vies SAREL BURGER

kolekrieket-beamptes in die Tygerbergstreek kan slange vang. Dit nadat die plaaslike skolekrieketspanne, saam met dié in die Boland, slaggereed was om die afgelope naweek wedstryde te speel. In ’n uiters debatteerbare besluit van Krieket Suid-Afrika (KSA) einde verlede week is die skole die harnas in gejaag deur ’n besluit dat geen wedstryde die res van hierdie somer mag plaasvind nie. Nadat die WP se krieketunie reeds vroeër in Februarie aangekondig het dat alle vorme van krieketwedstryde weens die viruspandemie vir die huidige seisoen afgelas is, is die Bolandse skole intussen mondeling

deur KSA meegedeel dat wedstryde die afgelope naweek moontlik in daardie streek hervat sou kon word. Gevolglik het verskeie Tygerbergse skole hul toevlug tot hul Bolandse eweknieë geneem om van die afgelope naweek wedstryde in die Wynland en omstreke te laat plaasvind. Maar toe kom die gewraakte aankondiging kort voor die afgelope naweek. In die lig van Sondagaand se aankondiging deur die regering dat die hele land se Covid-19-inperking van vlak 3 na vlak 1 sou skuif, het dit werklik sin gemaak dat die erg gefrustreerde jongelinge die geleentheid gegun moes word om – te midde van voorgeskrewe virus-protokolle – terug te keer na

mededingende sport. Maar KSA se regsomkeer en (voortydige) besluit aan die einde van verlede week dat geen wedstryde tot en met 31 Maart mag plaasvind nie, het ’n stokkie voor verwikkelinge van enige aard gesteek. Wat hierdie aankondiging soveel te meer dispuutbaar maak, is dat skole in die omsendskrywe feitlik aangemoedig word om voort te gaan met huishoudelike oefeninge en selfs oefenwedstryde tussen spanne van dieselfde skool – maar wedstryde teen enige ander skool sou taboe wees! Nou kan die jongelinge maar net hoop dat toestande later vanjaar met die aanbreek van die volgende somer sodanig sal wees dat normale sportaktiwiteite kan voortgaan.
