Two Edgemead residents have repaired a fence that separates the area from the Plattekloof Natural Heritage Site. The property is owned by Eskom.
FENCING EDGEMEAD: KEEPING BURGLARS, VAGRANTS OUT
Community repairs fence RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
T
wo residents of Edgemead rolled up their sleeves recently to repair a fence separating the area from the Plattekloof Natural Heritage Site. The site, owned by Eskom, is located near the power utility’s Acacia power station, sub-station and marketing centre in the area. Renier Smith and Anthony Brandon-Kir-
by, members of the Edgemead Zone 4 Watch, were part of the repair team. “We decided we would monitor the Eskom overhead power-line servitude fencing that abuts our neighbourhood watch precinct and reinstate the fences as best we can, where and when possible,” he said, “to prevent illegal and unauthorised access to these areas.” The repair work was done on Sunday 11 October. Zolile Siswana, Director of Urban Manage-
ment, Area North, says the City of Cape Town supports and encourages community involvement and participation in the well being of local affairs, safeguarding and enhancing its environment. “We therefore commend Zone 4 Watch for its actions, and hopefully other communities will follow similar examples in complementing service delivery,” he said. TygerBurger reported on numerous occasions about homeless people using the heri-
tage site as a shelter and criminal elements using it as a hideout. Houses adjacent to the site are reportedly being targeted by burglars. In August last year, law enforcement officers and officials from the City’s Displaced People’s Unit, along with Eskom’s clean-up crew, conducted a clean-up operation at the heritage site. “We have done it before, and we will keep on doing it, because we want to secure the area,” Smith said.

Altydgedacht matriarch passes away at 95 ESMÉ ERASMUS
T
he matriarch of Altydgedacht Wine Estate, Jean Parker, died at her home on Saturday 10 October at the age of 95. She was known for her enormous role in Durbanville, its environment and agriculture, says Denise Robinson, a member of parliament. “Farming Altydgedacht on her own after her husband died, with two small boys, and building up the farm and its wine, she was truly a remarkable public spirited person,” she said. Parker was born in East London on 4 November 1924, and grew up in the Eastern Cape. She lost her father at age 12, and during her youth she and her brother spent many holidays on her widowed mother’s family farm in Stutterheim. This included the Second World War years, when they became very close to their eight cousins, as several of the fathers were away on active service, and these relationships endured throughout their lives. Parker attended school in Queenstown before going to Rhodes University, where she completed a degree in art and teaching. She was on the student council and qualified in 1945. She then taught in Cape Town for a year before taking up a teaching post in Umtali (now Mutare, Zimbabwe) for a year. She returned to Cape Town in 1948 to further her studies at UCT, and met and married Denis Parker, whose family had been farming Altydgedacht since the 1850s. Their two sons, John and Oliver (Ollo), were only 4 and 3 years old when their father died in a shooting accident in 1954 at age 29 years. After his death there was pressure for the farm to be sold, but Jean decided to continue farming as her two sons may want to farm themselves one day. “She said she was inspired by her late mo-
ther-in-law, Daisy, whose husband Ralph had died in 1939, and who farmed through the difficult war years as a young widow with three sons,” her son Ollo said. Parker attended to the dairy and winemaking, while the farm manager looked after the vineyards, grain and sheep. In this she was assisted first by Tony Kamos and, for many years, by Hennie Heydenrych. “Coming from the Eastern Cape, my mother had a particular love for cattle and was involved with day-to-day running of this until her late 80s,” Ollo says. Her sons joined her in the farming business in the late 1970s after studying at Stellenbosch and working on farms overseas. Having no experience in wine, Parker took a short course in winemaking at Elsenburg Agricultural college and proceeded to make wine for many years on Altydgedacht. The wine was initially sold to the Castle Wine and Brandy company, then to Monis of Paarl, who later took over Nederburg and bought the wine grapes instead of the finished wine. Parker was one of the first women winemakers in South Africa, and it is widely acknowledged that cabernet sauvignon made by her on Altydgedacht, and her neighbour Phil Walker on Morgenster were used by George Spies in his highly acclaimed GS’66 and GS’68 – some of the most famous wines to come out of South Africa. “My mother loved to sketch and paint watercolours, and there is a big selection of her sketches of the farm and her travels. She was an adventurous traveller and undertook journeys through Europe to Iran in the 1960s and Central America in the 1970s as well as extensively through Southern Africa in the 1980s and 90s with her long-time companion, Jack Inglis,” Ollo said. “She was very good with people and loved children and youth. She was passionately

interested in, and cared for, the staff on the farm. She loved fynbos and nature, and was instrumental in preserving pristine Renosterveld on the farm, and was involved in the Durbanville Nature Teserve too.” Parker also loved heritage and history, and was a member of the Durbanville Heritage and the Vernacular Architecture societies. “She will be sorely missed by the community,” Ollo said. Besides her two sons, Parker had six grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Thursday 22 October on the farm, which will be live-streamed on Zoom.

Special fund opened after attack on family ESMÉ ERASMUS Amother left to bleed to death in an armed house robbery, which saw her, her husband and a family friend shot, believes she was saved due to the quick thinking and brave actions of her teenage son. Madelaine de Bruin (46) believes it was a miracle her life was saved, while her son Felix (14) ascribes the role he played to lessons learnt in karate and scouting. De Bruin, husband Dave (47), and a family friend, JJ Oberholzer (30) from Robertson, were shot in the early hours of Saturday 26 September at their home in Mikpunt (“Drie in huisrooftog by Mikpunt geskiet”, TygerBurger, 30 September). Both De Bruin and Obergholzer had been discharged, but Dave, a manufacturer of children’s furniture, was still in the ICU at Tygerberg Hospital, after the bullet had missed his heart by millimetres. He had had three operations. A BackaBuddy campaign has been raised to help pay the family’s medical bills and get through a period in which they have had no income. It is believed the four robbers had come from the farms surrounding Mikpunt. They gained access through a sliding door on a balcony, cutting the blinds. “I realised later two of them must have sneaked past our bed to our friend’s bedroom, while the other two woke us up,” she said. Also in the house were Felix and a friend, Jethro Keys (15). “They didn’t know about the boys,” De Bruin said, “we told them it was only us in the house. “They came back with our friend, with his 9mm pistol to his head, which I assumed was lying next to his bed. The men were told to sit on the bed, in which I was half-lying. “They asked my husband to open the safe, but when he got up from the bed they told him to sit down. This happened a few times and he argued with them how he could get to the safe without getting up. “The leader then said, ‘do you know how
Madelaine de Bruin, who was shot in the stomach, and her son, Felix. PHOTO: ESMÉ ERASMUS long I have been doing this . . . 10 years! Do you think I am joking?’ and shot a warning shot into the floor.” They were also armed with a long screwdriver and a long kitchen knife (or panga). “They were pulling all the plugs out of the sockets to cut the wires to tie us up with,” De Bruin said. “They even cut the sling of my handbag.” Her husband and friend then decided to tackle the leader with the firearm. A scuffle ensued in which several shots were fired. JJ was shot in the left lung, the bullet travelling to his intestines, while Dave was shot in the upper chest and in his right wrist. De Bruin then jumped out of bed and ran to the boys’ bedroom to tell them to jump through the window to get help. Two robbers went after her and shot her in front of her son. She lost a lot of blood. The robbers pulled her by her foot and arm in the direction of the safe. “I told them I am dead now, they have killed me,” De Bruin said.
“They then dropped me on my side at the door. This saved my life, because by lying on my side the bleeding was stopped by the pressure of my tummy fat. That literally saved my life, the doctors say. If it weren’t for that I would have bled to death.” Felix offered to find the safe keys for the robbers. When they all left together, friend Jethro, who was hiding under a blanket, saw his chance, jumped through the window and ran to neighbours for help. According to Felix, he took the real safe key off the bunch of keys, put it on a shelf and handed the rest to the robbers, who hadn’t noticed anything. While trying to open the safe with a gun held to his head, he told them he would look in the kitchen for the right key. On passing the balcony he slipped out the sliding door onto the balcony, then shut the sliding door. The robbers could not get the door open, because it had gone off its tracks and got stuck. “Another miracle,” De Bruin declared. It was then the robbers saw two vehicles coming up the road, which were the vehicles of the neighbourhood watch. They then fled the scene with six cellphones, three laptops and the friend’s pistol. Felix says his experience with karate and the scouts taught him to never to show fear and think ahead. “I anticipated all their moves and what they were going to do next,” he said. “We are just grateful, so many things could have gone wrong,” his mom said. But now the family is left with unforeseen medical expenses and repair costs to their house. They also need trauma counselling. “Our family is displaced,” De Bruin said. My son and I are staying with my mother in Eversdal now. There is also our loss of income, and my husband is still in ICU.” Her stepdaughter, Jennifer Gregory, registered a BackaBuddy fund to raise money for their expenses. It is hoped R150 000 will be raised. V Visit www.backabuddy.co.za/de-bruin-family to donate.

Boer van D’ville is hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap ESMÉ ERASMUS
’n
Boer van Durbanville gaan voortaan Agri Wes-Kaap as president lei. Villiers Loubser (46), voorheen voorsitter van die algemene sakekamer van Agri Wes-Kaap, is verkies by die Agri WesKaap se aanlyn jaarkongres op Donderdag 15 Oktober. Loubser, die derde geslag Loubsers wat op die plaas Altona naby Philadelphia boer, volg Cornie Swart op, wat sedert 2011 as president gedien het. Swart het gesê hy is opgewonde om die leisels aan ’n relatief jong span oor te gee. “Julle neem ’n sterk en vooruitstrewende organisasie oor en ek is trots en gerus oor die hande wat nou die leisels gaan vashou. Ek weet julle verstaan die hart van die landbou en ek wens julle alle voorspoed toe,” het hy gesê. Loubser volg in die voetspore van sy pa, Kosie Loubser, en oupa, Villiers Loubser, wat ook as president van Agri Wes-Kaap gedien het – sy pa vanaf 2008 tot 2011, en sy oupa vanaf 1957 tot 1960 en weer vanaf 1963 tot 1965. “Georganiseerde landbou het ’n baie belangrike rol gespeel in die geskiedenis van die land en ook ’n baie belangrike rol te speel in die toekoms,” sê hy.
“Oor die jare het ons bewys dat om saam te werk met mekaar en met die owerhede van die dag, ’n baie beter toekoms vir elkeen van ons bewerkstellig het. Daar is geen manier wat ons kan bekostig dat ons uitmekaar spat en op ons eie dinge aanpak nie. “Agri Wes-Kaap en Agri Suid-Afrika is nie burgerregte-organisasies nie, maar eerder landbou-beleidsorganisasies wat skouer skuur met die owerhede en beleidmakers van die land. “Ons het ’n baie goeie samewerkingsverhouding met die owerhede. Ons beleef tans baie onstuimige tye weens die geweld wat op plase plaasvind en die situasie wat deur politieke opportuniste en sosiale media-‘vloggers’ uitgebuit word om hul eie agendas van rassespanning aan te hits. Dit is baie kortsigtig en onregverdig dat so ’n hartseer situasie misbruik word en waarskynlik meer skade doen as goed. “Ek twyfel geensins dat die georganiseerde landbou hier ’n baie belangrike rol te speel het om gemoedere te kalmeer en met mekaar saam te werk om ’n baie beter uitkoms te probeer bewerkstellig nie. “Dit is dan ook ons as Agri Wes-Kaap se rol om ons lede te bemagtig met die regte inligting om die regte besluite te kan neem. “Verder werk ons daagliks saam met die

Skrywer van Welgedacht reik nuwe boeke uit RICHARD ROBERTS @richardjohn_rj
D
ie skrywer dr. Elizabeth Wasserman van Welgedacht het pas haar jongste heruitgawe in die gewilde kinderboekreeks, Speurhond Willem, uitgereik. Die boek, ’n omnibus in dié verhaalreeks, heet Die Avonture van Speurhond Willem. Haar splinternuwe boek, Speurhond Willem in Australië, is ook in Augustus gepubliseer. Elizabeth, ’n patoloog en voorheen ’n buitengewone professor in die afdeling geneeskundige mikrobiologie aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, sê sy wou nog altyd boeke skryf. TygerBurger het by die skrywer uitgevind waar haar belangstelling in die skryf van kinderboeke en boeke vir jongmense begin het. “Ek wou nog altyd graag skryf. Soos alle kinders was ek mal oor stories, en boeke was belangrik in die huis waarin ek grootgeword het. “Ná skool moes ek kies hoe ek te werk kon gaan om hierdie droom te bewaarheid. Ek het die doelgerigte besluit geneem om eers die wêreld te verken, sodat ek iets kan hê om oor te skryf. “Terugskouend was dit nie so ’n dom idee nie. Ek het immers self baie avonture beleef en nou is dit lekker om reisverhale vir kinders en jongmense te skryf, met ’n goeie skeut aksie en soms ’n knertsie wetenskap.

An assisted learning class is coming to Grade R! Children do not all learn in the same way and often need a little assistance in developing fundamental competencies required for successful learning. With the necessary expertise, immediate support in class and an environment tailored to their educational needs, children can grow up confident in their personal and academic abilities. Assisted learning provides the necessary expertise Assisted learning provides immediate support from experienced teachers and therapists in smaller classroom environments designed to promote concentration and serenity. Children follow the mainstream CAPS curriculum, but classes and teaching methods are adapted to accommodate their unique needs. We are adding an assisted learning class for Grade R With an experienced teacher, on-site
the erapists, and a carefully designed class environment. Children will receive imm mediate support, tailored to their specific nee needs. We have a beautiful playground and cater for only 65 Grade R learners altogether. As familiarity is important to children with specialised needs, they can stay with their classmates when progressing to Grade 1 by enjoying preferential acceptance at Curro Uitzicht (a nearby Curro Assisted Learning school). Alternatively, they could confidently progress to a mainstream classroom if the nature of the intervention required was temporary or focused on improving a specific skill. Your child could benefit from assisted learning Children who struggle to develop the foundational skills needed for reading, writing, and Mathematics (counting, spatial awareness, etc.), as well as children with ADD, ADHD, or mild ASD, could benefit from our specialised approach. Sometimes all it takes for a child to thrive is a smaller and more nurturing environment. We aim to provide just that.

WO Jacques Mostert, police spokesperson, says bicycles are one of the more popular items to steal in the precinct as well as neighbouring policing precincts. “Most of the bicycles targeted are those left outside in the yard, even those inside property walls,” he said. “In a few cases the bicycles had been stored inside the garages and wendy houses. So leaving bicycles outside is not a good idea.” Mostert says mountain bikes especially are targeted by criminals. He says in some cases very expensive bicycles had also been nabbed. The police say it is important that people memorise the serial number on their bicycles. “The bicycle can in that case be circulated as stolen,” Mostert said He says people should invest in a sturdy lock, always store the bicycle indoors at night and, if possible, lock the wheels and saddle. The spokesperson also encourages people to keep the serial number on file or to keep a photograph of the bicycle on hand. In the case of an expensive bicycle, installing a tracking device is also encouraged.

New equipment for fire season T
he City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service is gearing up for the upcoming fire season, for it has introduced the new Rosenbauer Metz Turntable Ladder L56. The display ceremony took place at the Epping Training Academy on Thursday 15 October. In the previous financial year the service took delivery of 99 vehicles, including four 56-metre, heavy-duty mobile aerial firefighting/rescue lift turntable ladders. A statement explains that the appliances are able to rescue 18 people at a time from a 22-storey building within 12 minutes
through its lift system. They are also equipped with firefighting equipment and a cage to assist in extinguishing fires in high rise buildings. Other vehicles acquired include water tankers, rescue vehicles and those used for the fire and a life safety section. In this financial year the service will receive an additional 34 vehicles, including foam tankers. “The fire and rescue service does so much more than fight fires. Over time it has evolved into a fully-fledged emergency service, responding to a wide range of calls including hazardous materials incidents, motor vehicle accidents, trauma and as-
sault cases, structural collapse incidents, water rescues and even rescuing persons trapped in lifts during power outages. “As a growing city we need to ensure our resources are up to scratch,” the City’s Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, pointed out, “and that’s why we have made this investment in our fire and rescue service, to help it deal effectively with the thousands of calls received every year. It has been a long, hard road, and there is much more work to be done, but we will keep investing in our safety and security directorate as best we can.” The service is also finalising recruit-
ment of just over 100 seasonal firefighters, a fixture on the calendar between December and April, to assist with the large number of vegetation fires that occur. Smith explained: “Each year, thousands of hopefuls attend our seasonal firefighting trials, but lockdown this year has made us take a different approach. So to ensure we have boots on the ground in time for deployment the fire service has reached out to previous seasonal firefighters to check on their availability and willingness. They lend a helping hand to their permanent colleagues on the front lines, and I thank those heeding the call in unprecedented times.”
DHL Express aims to hand one million meals out To commemorate World Food Day, which was celebrated on Friday 16 October, DHL Express launched its One Million Meals campaign. This will see the global leader in express logistics aim to deliver a million meals to those in need before the end of December. Hennie Heymans, CEO of DHL Express Sub Saharan Africa, said: “This year, 2020, has certainly tested us all and delivered a stark reminder of how important it is to give back to the communities in which we operate. “Food security is a critical social issue, and we are thrilled to be in a position to support some worthy charities during this time. At DHL we have a very clear purpose of connecting people and improving lives, and I can’t think of a better project to help bring that purpose to life.” Megan Collinicos, vice-president of mar-
keting for DHL Express Sub Saharan Africa, added: “We are working with a robust group of charities to ensure we reach as many people as possible. “It also provides a wonderful opportunity for our teams in South Africa to get involved from a volunteer perspective for the duration of the campaign. “It’s so important that we commit, as one with our wonderful DHL Express employees, as opposed to merely sponsoring food preparation and deliveries. “It’s an integrated approach that will rely on collaboration between our employees and partners to make it a success.” One of the charities earmarked is Eppingbased FoodForward SA. “We rely on partnerships to implement our surplus food strategies that serve the poor,” said Andy du Plessis, FoodForward SA managing director.
“We value our partnership with DHL. Their support is critical and enables us to scale our operations to provide support to the most vulnerable communities. “We are always up for a challenge and are confident we will be able to help DHL reach its goal of ‘1 000 000 meals by December’.”
To coincide with World Food Day on 16 October 2020, DHL Express is excited to launch its One Million Meals campaign, which will see the global leader in express logistics offer welcome support to iconic South African food distribution charities, with the epic goal of delivering 1 000 000 meals to those in need before the end of December. FoodForward SA is one of the charities that will receive support.

Book to inspire tolerance BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind
T
wo members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and questioning (LGBTIQ) community joined forces to write a book of poetry portraying the struggles these marginalised people face daily. George Willemse and Milicent van Wyhe’s book L.G.B.T., Leer goue bietjie tolerance is currently on sale on Takealot.com. Willemse says the book started unexpectedly. “One day my father and I were watching a movie,” he related, “and suddenly I just decided to type a poem about how proud I am being gay and living in a small town like Sutherland. As I was typing, I just got so inspired by my own experiences and the things I have dealt with in my life, and still I came out okay in the end. The poem is called “Sitterland se trotse moffie”. I then posted the poem on Facebook, and I received a lot of likes and a lot of positive comments.” He says Van Wyhe saw the poem and approached him. “She asked if I would like to write more poems, and then maybe publish it, and I thought why not? So over a weekend I wrote more than seven poems, because I was so excited. The idea that I can inspire someone else who is going through the same stuff I went through motivated me. For me every gay or lesbian goes through the same thing of coming out to their family, and that for me it is the hardest part of it all. Because you never know whether you will be accepted or rejected by your family and friends. You don’t know whether the community will accept you, especially me, because I live in a small town, and we all know how some people can be in a small town. But they accepted me with open arms.

Milicent van Wyhe wrote a book about tolerance with her friend. has its ups and downs, at the end of the day it is what you make of it, whether you get up and stand tall when you fall.” Van Wyhe says she has been writing poetry all her life. “Writing about my experiences as a member of the LGBT community has always been my coping method,” she said. “So when I saw George’s poem “Sitterland se moffie” I knew we had to collaborate and share our stories with as many people as we possibly can. As a member of the LGBT community I have gone through my fair share of looks, dislike, rejection, discrimination, but the one that stands out is that I had to leave the church I grew up in once I came out of the closet. “Thankfully I found an open and welcoming church, the Good Hope Metropolitan Community Church. They are all-inclusive, and I am able to serve God just the way I am. Thankfully we live in a country where LGBT rights are upheld, where we can live and love freely.” According to van Wyhe she put a lot of pressure on George. “I told him I could see he had a raw talent, and that he had one month to write 10 great poems for me, and he rose to the occasion as the brilliant writer he is. You know the saying “the pen is mightier than the sword”? I am hoping we don’t need to keep fighting for a place in our communities. I hope that what we’ve written will open some hearts.” The book is available on Takealot.com at R200.
‘Spertyd’ debuteer by Die Boer Sandra Prinsloo is te sien in die debuutproduksie Spertyd by Die Boer-teaterrestaurant in Durbanville van Dinsdag 3 tot Sondag 8 November. Philip Rademeyer het die teks verwerk van Elsa Joubert se outobiografiese boek oor oudword vir die produksie, wat deur Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck en Alexa Strachan vervaardig is. Die produksie was bestem vir vanjaar se Aardklop-kunstefees, wat dit ook ondersteun het, maar weens die pandemie debuteer dit nou in die Kaap, sê Margit. “Spertyd is ’n reis deur die kontinent van die ouderdom. Joubert is op 14 Junie midde-in die Covid-19-pandemie oorlede. “Kort voor haar afsterwe het sy die teksverwerking gelees, en was sy opgewonde oor Prinsloo se vertolking van haar lewensverhaal. Die karakter kyk op 95-jarige ouderdom terug op haar vol lewe – van haar kinderjare, haar huwelik, tot waar sy as weduwee in ’n aftreeoord
woon. Die herinneringe daag bloot op, soos wat herinneringe maar doen.” Rademeyer sê die eerste lees van Spertyd het hom diep geraak – ‘‘nie net die insigte wat Elsa Joubert oor ’n verskeidenheid onderwerpe lewer nie, maar veral die eerlike en weerlose manier waarmee sy met intieme temas soos oudword, die dood en verlies omgaan. Spertyd is meesleurend, beeldskoon, hartverskeurend en soms ook regtig snaaks.’’ Hy sê die stuk het sy oë oopgemaak oor dinge wat hy (as relatiewe jongmens) as vanselfsprekend aanvaar, soos beweeglikheid, geheue, die sintuie en kommunikasie. “Een van die deurlopende temas van Spertyd is die waarde van medemenslikheid en deernis – dis ’n gevoel wat ons tydens repetisies ervaar,” sê Rademeyer. Ouerbegeleiding word aanbeveel. V Kaartjies kos R200 en is beskikbaar by 021 979 1911 of aanlyn by www.dieboer.com.

Veelbekroonde Winter Ferment steeds op oorwinningspad ESMÉ ERASMUS Skaars was die drukkersink op TygerBurger droog of die Diemersdal-wynlandgoed raap nóg ’n prys op met sy reeds veelbekroonde Diemersdal Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2020. Boonop het Diemersdal vanjaar ’n driekuns behaal toe dié wyn die derde agtereenvolgende jaar as een van die wenners van die 2020 Sauvignon Blanc SA Top-10-kompetisie aangekondig is. Dit het plaasgevind tydens ’n virtuele toekenningsgeleentheid op Woensdag 14 Oktober. TygerBurger het verlede week berig oor die trofee wat die wyn ontvang het vir beste sauvignon
blanc-wyn in vanjaar se Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards (“Diemersdal ryg pryse in vir sy wyn” TygerBurger, 14 Oktober). Winter Ferment is ’n unieke sauvignon blanc-wyn in die opsig dat dit gemaak word van druiwe wat in Februarie geoes en gepars is, en die sap dan vir vier maande gevries is voor fermentasie plaasvind. Sedert die eerste oesjaar van Winter Ferment in 2017 het die wyn al verskeie pryse gewen – onder meer in die FNB Top-10Sauvignon Blanc-kompetisie, asook die Sauvignon Blanc-trofee by die Nasionale Jongwynskou. Vanjaar se kampioenwyne in die Sauvignon Blanc SA Top-10-
kompetisie van Sauvignon Blanc Suid-Afrika – die enigste kompetisie wat net aan die kultivar sauvignon blanc toegewy is – kom uit sewe verskillende streke. Die ander wenners is: Alvi’s Drift Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2020; Cilmor Limited Edition Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Ghost Corner Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2018; Iona Elgin Highlands Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Ormonde Chip Off The Old Block Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Paul Cluver Sauvignon Blanc 2019; Stark-Condé Round Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2019 en Stellenbosch Vineyards Southern View Sauvignon
Blanc 2020. Luidens ’n mediaverklaring het altesame 96 produsente 149 wyne ingeskryf vir die kompetisie, wat met die ondersteuning van First National Bank (FNB) aangebied word. “Vanjaar sal onthou word as ’n tyd om sáám te staan en almal wat ingeskryf het, kan dus met reg trots wees op hul prestasie,” sê RJ Botha, Sauvignon Blanc SA se voorsitter, in die verklaring. “In hierdie uitdagende tye is dit ’n voorreg om Suid-Afrikaanse sauvignon blanc wêreldwyd te kan vier as ons land se topverkoper. Ons sien opwindende innovasie in styl en geurprofiele, én diversiteit in oorsprong met drie
Top-10-wenners uit Stellenbosch, twee uit Elgin, en een elk uit Breederivier, Elim, Worcester, Durbanville en Darling,” sê hy. Vanjaar se beoordelaarspaneel het bestaan uit dr. Winifred Bowman, Kaapse wynmeester en sameroeper van die paneel, die keldermeester Charles Hopkins van De Grendel, die wynbeoordelaar en -skrywer Fiona McDonald en die wynmaker Rüdger van Wyk van Stark-Condé Wyne.

N Cashew is a regal 2-year-old cat that likes his own space, but is secretly addicted to attention. He would like a calm, quiet home, as he doesn’t like noise and too much going on around him. His hobbies are bird watching and basking in the sun. Cashew definitely needs a playful feline friend and would be ideal for an older household with no dogs. He is being fostered with Skippy.
Copper is a lap cat with a loud purr and will do anything for food. He is a clever 5-yearold cat that is able to open doors and sniff out tasty treats everywhere. He doesn’t mind being an only cat so he can soak up all your attention, but he will also be fine with a cat friend. He is fine with children and catfriendly dogs.

á jare se bakleiery meen ’n pensioenaris van Parow-Wes dat daar steeds geen oplossing gevind is om ’n probleemgebou langs haar huis uit te sorteer nie. Die gruwelhuis in Mosselstraat in Churchill Estate, Parow-Wes word glo deur dwelmverslaafdes gebruik en deur haweloses bewoon. Deon Maneveld, voorsitter van die Parow-gemeenskapspolisiëringsforum (GPF), sê buurtwagte, raadslede, die polisie en inwoners het al hul kommer oor die probleemgebou geopper. “Die huis trek baie aandag; dit is ’n groot probleem vir almal en boonop ’n oogseer,” sê Maneveld. Hy sê hoewel daar al verskeie klagtes ingedien is, kom dit voor asof daar herhaaldelik teen ’n muur vasgeloop word en dat geen oplossings vorendag kom nie. Almal is gefrustreerd, sê hy. “Die buurvrou het ook al na ’n paar van ons uitgereik om te help,” sê Maneveld. Bettie Burger (59), ’n inwoner, het verlede week aan TygerBurger vertel dat sy al telkemale oor die afgelope ses jaar die owerhede probeer oortuig het om die situasie reg te stel. Die Burger-egpaar woon al 40 jaar lank in die gebied. “Maar ons het nog nooit ’n probleem gehad soos hierdie nie.” Burger sê net sy en haar 65-jarige man, wat ’n depressielyer is, woon in die huis. “Maar in die middae kyk ek ook na my kleinkind.” Die huis behoort glo aan die nasionale departement van openbare werke. Burger sê tot dusver het sy die kwessie onder die aandag van die plaaslike wyksraadslid, sowel as die departement, gebring. “Maar hulle almal ignoreer my soos ’n rooi verkeerslig,” sê Burger. Volgens haar het van die jong mense wat die gebou onwettig betree haar al met die dood gedreig. Die groep het glo ook onlangs haar vensters beskadig toe Burger hulle aangespreek het. “Ek het die afgelope naweek weer ’n tikkop uitgehaal, en weer Maandag. Hulle het my al aangerand toe ek hulle met ’n sambok daar uitgejaag het.” Party naweke help ’n span buurtwaglede van die Parow-Wes-buurtwag Burger om die onwelkome groepie te verdryf.
Shakir Smith, voorsitter, het bevestig dat Burger al ’n geruime tyd ’n stryd stry. “Sy het herhaaldelik e-posse aan die relevante departemente gestuur. Sover ons weet, behoort die eiendom aan die departement van openbare werke en is dit voorheen aan die polisie verhuur,” het Smith beaam. Hy het ook bevestig dat ’n brand skade aan die struktuur berokken het. Smith sê ook die buurtwag self het al die polisie versoek om iets aan die situasie te doen. “Wat ons patrollies betref, doen ons dit soos mev. Burger ons versoek.” Smith sê daar word nie sodanig dwelms van die perseel verkoop nie, maar mense gebruik wel dwelms daar. Hy sê haweloses oornag ook in die gebou. “Wanneer ons mense binne-in betrap, verjaag ons hulle, en as die polisie teenwoordig is, neem ons hulle in hegtenis.” Smith sê volgens sy inligting is die departement van openbare werke glo besig om aandag aan die probleem te skenk. “Dis alles in die departement se hande wat nou ’n proses moet volg, en dit is tans aan die gang. Ek het verneem dat die gebou dalk verkoop sal word, maar dit is nog nie bevestig nie. Leonore van der Walt, wyksraadslid, sê van die Stad Kaapstad se kant af is daar ook reeds stappe gedoen. Sy sê die Stad se wetstoepassingseenheid vir probleemgeboue het reeds die kwessie oor die eiendom hanteer en dat die saak afgehandel is aangesien dit voldoen aan die Stad se verordening vir probleemgeboue. “ ’n Ondersoek na die gebou het onthul dat dit deur ’n brand beskadig is. Hoewel die eiendom beveilig is, is daar egter ’n gat in die muur waardeur mense toegang tot die huis kan kry,” sê Van der Walt. Burger sê sy weet van die gat, en dat sy reeds versoek het dat die owerhede dit moet herstel. “Maar dis ook nog nie gedoen nie,” sê sy. Van der Walt sê die relevante departement sal gekontak word om vas te stel wat die planne vir die gebou is, en dat die saak dan heropen sal word vir verdere ondersoek. Smith meen egter daar is nie veel wat die raadslid of Stad omtrent die kwessie kan doen nie. “Dit behoort nie aan die Stad nie, maar aan die departement van openbare werke en hulle moet die probleem uitsorteer,” sê hy. Tydens ’n besoek aan die vervalle huis was niemand teenwoordig nie. ’n Inwoner het vertel dat die gat waarna Burger verwys, herstel is, maar Donderdag weer oopgebreek was. Volgens hom is die kwaaddoeners net snags bedrywig. TygerBurger wag nog op die kommentaar van die departement van openbare werke.

Local youth on stage at jazz fest T
he Artscape Youth Jazz Festival goes live on Friday 23 October at 18:00 to 20:00 on Fine Music Radio 101.3fm and on Monday 26 October at 10:00 on the Artscape You Tube channel. Dozens of talented musicians, 27 years or younger, from across the Western Cape responded to the call to submit online audition videos for this year’s edition of the Artscape Youth Jazz Festival. This year the jazz masterclasses were open to every artist who had auditioned.

Kara Snethlage (24), guitarist from Sunningdale.
The festival’s director, Amanda Tiffin, said: “The level of playing and performance was outstanding, so it was very difficult to choose only a few.” The masterclasses took place online in September. It comprised a class for each instrument given by industry professionals, plus several workshops about the business of music. Those selected for the performance recordings in October also participated in song writing sessions, rehearsals and the final performance. They were mentored through this process by Tiffin and a team of jazz-industry professionals. The Artscape Youth Jazz Festival was launched in 2003 with a view to democratising the arts in South Africa. Artscape CEO Marlene le Roux said the focus of the programme has remained dedicated to providing skills development. ‘‘This enables young jazz musicians to take the experience forward into their careers and educate others in the process.” This year’s performers are Chante Phillips (26, drums) from Athlone, Kara Snethlage (24, guitar) from Sunningdale, Aphiwe Faleni (19, vocals) from Nyanga, Joshua Barnes (24, vocals) from Milnerton Rural, Lebohang Banda (27, vocals) from Gugulethu, Lerato Skhosana (23, piano) from Table View, Lezaam Beets (19, trombone) from Plumstead, Manasse Kitanda (24, guitar) from Cravenby, Nick Ford (17, bass) from Newlands, Robin Castle (21, vocals) from Ottery, Dillon Manley (19, tenor saxophone) from Pinelands, Tefo Mahola (26, drums) from Gugulethu, Joshua Nemaire (20, bass guitar) from Rosebank, and Joshua Wheatley (19, piano) from Southfield.

Library a hub of activity “Welcome back to Parow Library; we have missed you…” This simple sentence is so powerful. As libraries and librarians, we constantly advocate the importance of our profession and the services we offer. With the easing of the national lockdown restrictions, we have seen firsthand how much the public has longed for the library. What we quickly realised is that the library is far more than just a building we operate in, or the books we have on our shelves. The library is a community meeting point, a hub of information and social interaction. Perhaps we already knew this but needed a global pandemic to remind us. However, the lockdown period has not only been doom and gloom for Parow Library. The lack of patrons has allowed us the opportunity to effectively shelf read, weed out unusable books and rearrange some furniture – things we generally only have a few hours to do each month. We have also been given the opportunity to meet as a team almost daily to address concerns or issues, offer each other support, as well as explore innovative ways of connecting with the public. Having already reshaped our social media interactions, it has been easy for us to adapt and As easing lockdown make use of our regulations see a slow library’s Facebook reopening of libraries, page to stay connected with our Parow Library staff patrons. And, since Jacinta Avontuur reopening for and Marvin Williams limited services share their experience (we offer a drop and collect service), of running a library our Facebook posts under lockdown and how they survived the with the highest engagements have library’s greatest included those challenge yet: how to demonstrating the remain relevant while process of returnphysically unavailable. ing or collecting books, our “Parow Library windowshopping experience”, how to visit the library, and the frequently asked questions about our limited service offering. Two of our most successful social media posts – demonstrating the drop-off/ collection service and the Parow Library Jerusalema challenge – reached 15 000 users. Not bad for a library! We’ve also seen posts involving library staff hover at about 2 200 interactions. Of course, realistically the level of engagement our Facebook posts garner does not reflect the amount of foot traffic we would normally have. Still, the goal of our social media pages has always been to supplement our face to face interactions, never to replace them. We have also been able to introduce a “surprise bundle” for young primary schoolchildren where we put together a package of 10 books based on their age and reading level; author comparisons (who writes like whom) to assist with digital browsing as well as keep the public connected with the staff. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” This anonymous quote sums up the mindset of Parow Library since the staff returned to work in July. We have been forced to adapt to change, to prove ourselves relevant in these times. For the most part, we would like to think that we have been successful in this regard. That said, we are looking forward to the day when we can open our doors and resume operating as normal. Despite traditionally being a quiet place, a library is only really brought to life when it is humming with the sounds of the people it serves. V Nal’ibali, the national reading-for-enjoyment campaign is offering library staff nationwide the opportunity to complete a free online reading-forenjoyment training course – at no data cost. The short course will help librarians set up a regular reading club or story hour, engage reluctant readers and make informed choices about children’s books. Visit www.nalibali.mobi for more.
Another open day at Avondale: Beautiful summer borders will be showcased at another open day which will be hosted at the Avondale Garden by the Rotary Club of Tygerberg on Saturday 24 October and Sunday 25 October. The extensive garden is situated at 40 Protea Way, Durbanville. Also the roses will be in full bloom. The garden will be open from 09:00 to 17:00. Tickets cost R50 at the entrance. All funds raised will be used for charity projects in the local communities. No refreshments will be available. Entry for children under 12 years is free. The wearing of masks and social distancing is compulsory.

Maak skoon ons luggolwe Vandat ek teruggetrek het Bellville toe, het ek ’n weersin in blaffende honde ontwikkel. Hoe inwoners toegelaat kan word om drie blaffende honde op een klein erf te hê, is onverstaanbaar. Rondom my is 10 honde wat dag en nag blaf – beslis langer as die ses minute wat toegelaat word, maar wie gaan optree as ek kla? Die eienaars is blafdoof en neem nooit hul honde na parke vir oefening nie. Hoe hulle kan weet wanneer daar werklik iemand oortree, weet nugter. Die een groep honde sit die ander aan die gang tot ’n kakofonie van rumoer ontstaan. Honde is veronderstel om net hul eie erwe op te pas; nie die hele straat nie! Maak toe voor! Allermins besef inwoners dat ons almal in “skoenbokse” woon sonder deksels met mensgemaakte, vertikale grense daartussen. Elke ding wat oor hierdie grens strek, is indringing op jou bure se privaatheid. Takke en blare wat oorhang of oorval, die geskel van die buurvrou, harde musiek, die alewige gefluit van sosiale media van verslaafdes, geraas en honde wat blaf, is almal irritasies. Maak skoon ons luggolwe, dan sal daar veel meer vrede tussen bure wees. INWONER Bellville
Yes, bring back the wildflowers My answer to Ronelle Shuttleworth’s question regarding bringing wildflowers back (“Bring back wildflowers”, TygerBurger, 14
October”) is a big yes! Years ago in Onrust, Uys Krige was also passionate about not cutting all the grassy areas until summer had truly arrived and as a result we had beautiful displays of flowers all over the place during Spring time. I’ve been following this approach on the sidewalks around my house in Loevenstein and it is looking great right now. DAVID CLUVER, Loevenstein
I can’t agree more about wildflowers With reference to the letter by Ronelle Shuttleworth (“Bring wildflowers back”, TygerBurger, 14 October) regarding the cutting of grass in urban spaces, I can’t agree more. I am also a plant lover, although on a much smaller scale. I remember my shock a couple of years ago when I noticed how the municipality upgraded the middle section of the road below Tyger Valley Shopping Centre. For many years I drove past there on my way to work, and each year the indigenous Spring flowers were spectacular. Well, not any longer. I grew up in a little village on the West Coast, and the best time of year was when the Spring flowers came out. I presume the indigenous plants being used are not indigenous, yet I appreciate the immense effort a certain gentleman by the name of Wouter Kruidenier has undertaken to beautify the roads in the Durbanville area. Next time you drive down Durban Road, have a look at the vygies in full bloom. Simply beautiful. IAN VAN RHYN, Email
Waar kom dassie vandaan? Kan iemand vir my sê waar op dees aarde ’n dassie in Durbanville vandaan sal kom? Ja, in Sonstraalhoogte in Durbanville is op 8 Oktober ’n dassie, wat op die oog af in ’n goeie toestand was, vinnig deur my tuintjie – te vinnig vir ’n kamera. Nee, ek misgis my nie. Ek het teen die hange van die Langeberge in die Koo in Montagu saam met hulle grootgeword en ken hulle goed. Hulle woon in die skeure van steil kranse. Die probleem is net dat daar nie sulke kranse naby ons is nie. Nou waar sou dié een vandaan kom en waarheen was hy op pad? ADAMUS P. STEMMET, Durbanville
Maak sypaadjie self skoon Aan die Brackenfell-klaers: mense, maar julle kan kla. Is dit nie dalk omdat julle al die jare bederf was deurdat julle voorkeur gekry het teenoor ander gebiede nie? Wees redelik. Daar was en is nog ’n inperking oor die hoeveelheid mense wat saam by die werk mag wees weens Covid-19. Dit geld ook vir die mense met die grassnyers. Dit neem tyd vir die munisipaliteit om in te haal. In elk geval voel ek dat alle eienaars (van eiendom) of inwoners self hul gedeelte van die sypaadjies en randstene kan skoon hou. Dis tog vir hul eie beswil om in ’n skoon omgewing te bly. Tel sommer die plastiek wat rondwaai ook op en herwin dit. As die eienaars dit doen, sal daar baie meer geld vir die munisipaliteit wees om die hoofstrate skoon te hou. En,
dit tel ook vir die laerinkomstegroepe wat net mors en niks skoonhou nie. Hulle moet selfrespek kry. IRENE Kraaifontein
Kla help niks nie Om aan te sluit by verlede week en voorverlede week se briewe van Brackenfell-inwoners wat betref vuil sypaadjies, wil ek ook sê dat in die vyf jaar vandat ek en my gesin daarheen verhuis het, het Brackenfell net agteruit gegaan. Kla help niks! In die singel waar ons bly, sny ek self die gras, want dis twee keer in die vyf jaar deur die munisipaliteit gedoen. Ek het ook selfs gif gekoop om die onkruid te bespuit. Het die mense aan die stuur van sake dan geen trots nie, of is die reusagtige salarisse wat hulle ontvang, al wat saak maak? FERNDALE-INWONER Brackenfell
Sorg vir jou erf Twee briewe, “Sypaadjies is vieslik” en “Bekwame bestuur kort in B’fell” verwys. Ek stem heeltemal saam met die skrywers, maar daar is nog ’n aanbeveling wat gedoen kan word. Ek bly in ’n systraat wat uitdraai in Buitekantstraat. As ek kyk na party mense se erwe by hul grensmure, skaam ek my ook. Dat daar altyd mense in ’n buurt is wat dink ag, ons los dit vir die munisipaliteit, maak my siek. Wat kan dit nou vat of kos om jou erf buite gou te sny of te laat sny? Ons mense se denke verbaas my soms. Die munisipaliteit kan ook nie orals tegelyk wees nie. Sorg vir jou erf en rondom. Het julle geen skaamte nie? JOHAN GREEFF, E-pos

Light on the horizon for club rugby S
A Rugby advised amateur clubs, universities, associate members and schools on Thursday that its Covid-19 Committee (CovCom) had approved a proposal to allow teams to return to training under certain strict conditions, although a return to play will not be permitted in 2020. The resumption of amateur rugby training follows the gazetting of new regulations on sport by the Department of Basic Education and of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC). “In the past couple of weeks, DSAC has permitted several sports to allow their amateur constituents to return to training and
match play,” said Jurie Roux, CEO of SA Rugby. He referred to a DSAC statement released earlier this month which states athletes, support staff and officials involved in non-professional sport do not have to undergo Covid-19 testing before returning to training, but only had to ensure that a robust screening system was in place for training to commence. “They do not have to submit their operational return to training plans to the minister for approval,” Roux pointed out. “We decided to approve the resumption of training for SA Rugby and the provincial union elite player develop-
ment programmes, rugby at amateur and community clubs and for associations affiliated to provincial unions and SA Rugby, but on certain strict conditions.” These include, among other things, financial considerations, control measures to curb the transmission of the virus as well as adherence to requirements of the SA Rugby return to train and play guidelines for amateur rugby. The rules are required to be enforced by provincial unions. All rugby bodies have been instructed to follow the “Integrated Return to Training” framework as an injury mitigation strategy.
It requires four weeks of fitness and strength training, followed by four weeks of gradual integration of contact rugby skills. A set of guidelines will be circulated to all teams wishing to return to training through their provincial unions. These will include signing indemnification and declaration of health forms, the appointment of a compliance officer, registration of all players, officials and staff on a club data base, screening and education of players, officials and staff, cleaning and sanitation of training venues, apparel and facilities, and to ensure no spectators
are permitted at training or matches. SA Rugby also advised that amateur rugby matches will not be permitted to take place for the remainder of 2020, and teams may only start competitive action with the commencement of the 2021 rugby season. However, non-contact rugby, such as TAG or Touch Rugby, can resume once the four weeks of fitness and strength training have been concluded. Advice on the resumption of competitive play at community level will be confirmed in due course.

three more locals, Andrew Rackstraw, Storm Lanfear and Jason Coetzee next up. Double winner on the day, Bishop did enough to wrap up the SA title in the process. He also takes the Senior tickets to Portugal’s “Olympics of Karting”. There was a turn-up for the books when Cape Town’s 2019 SA champion, Troy Dolinschek raced his first national of the season. He proceeded to take a dominant, but hard-earned four-win u.15 junior max victory for the day. Joaquin de Oliveira stormed to four straight wins over Troy Snyman and Reza Levy each time in

the u-13 Mini Max category. Yet another local lad, Reese Koorzen, came out on top of a close three-way fight to take u-11 Micro Max for the day. He beat Jozi visitors Mohammed Moerat and Caleb Odendaal. That was not enough to prevent Odendaal from swiping the championship to claim that ticket to Portugal. Jack Moore won two races in a magnificent day of baby Bambino racing to take the day from race 3 winner Rafael da Silva and final heat victor MJ Thekiso. That was good enough for the latest scion of the Moss racing dynasty, Caleb to take SA’s youngest 2020 racing championship.

lubkrieket in die Westelike Provinsie sal hierdie somer beslis eers in Januarie begin, het die WP-krieketvereniging (WPKV) einde verlede week aangekondig. Onder normale omstandighede sou die eerste reeks klubwedstryde die afgelope naweek begin het. Maar weens die huidige viruspandemie was daar aanvanklik sprake dat klubwedstryde teen Desember aan die gang sou kom. Die WPKV-ampsdraers het egter gevoel Desember is ’n vakansiebelaaide maand en dat dit raadsaam is om weens Covid-19 liefs groter veiligheid vir die spelers te verseker. In die komende maande sal alle spelers ’n reeks werksessies moet bywoon om hulle vertroud te maak met die voorsorgmaatreëls vir die voorseisoense oefeninge en latere wedstryde. Aangesien die 2020-21-somer nou net ’n “halwe krieketseisoen” teweeg gaan bring, sal die kompetisiestrukture noodwendig afwyk van hoe dit in die verlede was. Om soveel wedstryde as moontlik in die oorblywende deel van die somer ingepas te kry, is daar selfs ’n moontlikheid dat klubwedstryde tot in April sal duur. Durbanville, Bellville, Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland en Brackenfell is die Tygerbergse verteenwoordigers in die Premierliga, terwyl Tygerberg, Kraaifontein, Milnerton, Edgemead, Kuilsrivier en Noordelikes-Goodwood in die eerste liga uitdraf. Intussen is nog niks verneem oor skolekrieket in die komende somer nie, maar dit word verwag dat die eerste wedstryde in Februarie sal begin. – Sarel Burger
