Kapenaars stel nuwe burger-rekord op
Do you know elder superheroes who, despite their age and social circumstances, go above and beyond to make a difference in their communities? Nominate them now for a Community Champions Elders Award. Through the awards, now in its fourth year, TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision, in partnership with Spec-Savers, aim to honour those awesome elders who are making a profound difference in their communities. He, or she, could be the older, active neighbourhood watch patroller walking the streets at 04:00, feeding the children in their street, driving the sick to the clinic, knitting beanies and blankets for unwanted babies or giving free boxing lessons to keep the youth off the streets, all out of their own pockets. Tell us what wonderful deeds they’ve done for their community.
Nominations close on Tuesday 27 August Elders making a difference can once again be nominated in one of two categories: “70-80 years” or “80 plus”. Six finalists will be selected and notified by Tuesday 3 September. All their wonderful deeds will be featured in the newspaper in the weeks following, whereafter our readers can vote for the People’s Choice winner. The winners in both categories, as well as the People’s Choice winner, will be announced at a morning tea in Cape Town on Saturday 12 October.

Hier is Juanita Barnard van De la Haye en Joe Redelinghuys van Penhill, in Eersterivier besig om van die bestanddele op die burger aan te bring. Lees berig op bladsy 4.

than 200 cases per detective, which is 333% above the 50 to 60 case norm. Brackenfell Police Station is no exception, with only two thirds of the allocated positions filled, according to Brackenfell community policing forum (CPF) chairman Werner Victor. “Although service has improved under new management at the station, it is clear that there is a shortage of police manpower in Brackenfell and what makes it worst is the fact that there is
not much hope for this station to obtain more manpower in the immediate future, as it is not on the priority list. There is no light at the end of the tunnel,” he says. Leon Brynard manager of the Vredekloof City Improvement District (CID) says local police detectives does not use the resources available to them, such as the CID CCTV cameras in Brackenfell.
