SKOK EN ROU: TEATER TOE VIR EERS

Die Boer sluit sy deure ESMÉ ERASMUS

“D

it voel soos dood in die huis...,” was die kommentaar van Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck, mede-eienaar van Die Boer-teaterrestaurant, ná die sluiting van dié gewilde kuierplek verlede week vir ’n onbepaalde tyd. Die jongste inperking en aandklokreël was die laaste strooi vir die eienaars van Die Boer-restaurantteater in Durbanville. Dié aankondiging deur mede-eienaars Margit en haar man, Jurg Human, op hul Facebookblad dat die restaurantteater sy deure vir ’n onbepaalde tyd sluit, is met groot teleurstelling deur gereelde teatergan-

gers begroet. “Soveel wonderlike, wonderlike memories wat daar gemaak is,” lui een inskrywing. “Sad, sad news. All our music venues are on the brink of closure. I wish you strength and hope you can hold out till this catastrophe ends,” het ’n ander gesê. “Dis ’n donker, donker land en so ’n swaar pad om te loop. Ons hoop saam met julle duisende ondersteuners dat die probleme oorbrug kan word – ons verstaan die gevoelens van magteloosheid,” lui nog ’n inskrywing. Ook die Afrikaanse sanger Wicus van der Merwe het van hom laat hoor: “Die deure sal weer oopmaak en ons sal daar wees! Julle het al bitter baie vir ons beteken, selfs in die

moeilike tye laasjaar toe julle self gestruggle het. Ek sal daar wees as, nee, wanneer die deure weer oopmaak! Sterkte daar! Ons hou saam duim vas dat dinge gou sal omdraai!” Die Boer het op 20 April verlede jaar sy 15de bestaansjaar gevier. Dié teaterrestaurant met sy intieme atmosfeer het in April 2005 geopen en bekendheid verwerf vir sy lekker kos en topvertonings deur kunstenaars van oraloor. Dit het als begin toe Margit en Jurg mekaar op 1 September 2004 op ’n “blind date” oor middagete ontmoet het. Laataand was die gesels nog nie op nie en deel van die groot gesels was Jurgen se lewensdroom om ’n restaurantteater te open.

Sewe maande later op 20 April 2015 het Die Boer geopen. Sedertdien het van die land se topkunstenaars al daar opgetree. ’n Groot deel van die Boer se sukses was te danke aan hul kos, onder leiding van sjef Jean Louis Geldenhuys, wat vir 15 jaar die kombuis met militêre presisie bestuur het. “In dié stadium probeer ons om tot verhaal te kom,” het Margit aan TygerBurger gesê. “Ons is eintlik in ’n toestand van rou; ons eersteling, Die Boer, gaan nou in ’n lang hibernasie, maar hopelik, ná hierdie Covidwinter sal hy weer ontwaak – rasend honger na die groen blare van die kunste,” sê sy.

Mosaic to help victims of domestic abuse Mosaic Training, Service and Healing Centre is expanding its Access to Justice services to domestic violence survivors by extending its operating days from three days a week to five days a week in five courts in the Western Cape. The community-based, non-profit organisation works to prevent, reduce and respond to abuse and domestic violence by providing holistic, integrated services to heal and empower women through support services, access to justice and skills training. It also offers courts support services to survivors of domestic violence in Cape Town, Cape Winelands, Pretoria and Durban. More than 12 000 survivors of domestic violence benefit from the service each year.

“We acknowledge the challenges that exist in survivors of domestic violence accessing justice, in response, our court support services, which fall under the Access to Justice pillar of Mosaic’s service model, provide survivors with crisis counselling, safety planning, referral to services in addition to assisting with the completion of protection order application forms, and the provision of court information,” says Nandipha Ganya, programmes manager of Mosaic. In recent years, due to a lack of funding support for this service, Mosaic was forced to reduce the number of days these services could be offered to survivors to only three days a week. But now, in partnership with the provincial social development de-

partment, six courts have Mosaic court support social auxiliary workers on site five days a week. “We are excited to be extending our operating days from three days a week to five days a week in six courts in the Western Cape. We hope to achieve this in all of the courts served in 2021,” says Ganya. The court support programme forms part of the Mosaic safe model, a community response and prevention model. The Safe Model sees a multisectoral local community-based co-created response to domestic violence prevention and response. Ganya adds, “Domestic violence happens in homes and in communities. Our 27 years of offering support to survivors of domestic violence has shown that a local, co-

created and community-owned response is what is needed to ensure that protection orders protect.” Mosaic court support services are offered in the following Western Cape magistrates courts: . five days a week in Bellville, Blue Downs, Cape Town, Mitchells Plain, Khayelitsha and Wynberg, and . three days a week in Bishop Lavis, Philippi, Paarl and Wellington. If you, or someone you know, is a victim of domestic violence or gender-based violence, call Mosaic on 021 761 7585, send a message on Facebook (@MosaicNGO) or on Instagram (@MosaicRSA) for assistance.

Firefighters rescue pup A puppy from Ruyterwacht got a second chance at life after the City’s fire and rescue service rescued the pup from a sewer line in Ruyterwacht. The firefighters were called out on Sunday 10 January. A statement reads that the family heard the puppy’s distant cries from their toilet, and quickly called for help when they realised a member of their neighbour’s litter was missing. The firefighters called for assistance from another department and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). “Help was going to take time and by then, shifts had changed. The fire crews from Epping 3 and Goodwood 3 platoon took it upon themselves to rescue the puppy as they did not know how long he’d been stuck there,” said Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith.

He added that the puppy was extricated from the sewerage line at 11:15 and handed over to the SPCA to ensure he was in good health. On Wednesday 13 January both crews returned to the property and Goodwood fire station commander, Durandt Geldenhuys bought the materials needed to fix the line they’d damaged when they took the puppy out. “Our firefighters are once again commended for their dedication to not only going above and beyond the call of duty, but to saving lives. On occasion, those lives are the furry, four-legged variety, and this is a testament to their commitment,” said Smith.

Ten spyte hiervan was daar baie hoogtepunte oor die jare. “Met ons 10 jaar-verjaarsdagkonsert het ’n hele klomp kunstenaars saamgespan om saam met ons makietie te hou. Ons het ons top-100 kliënte die aand gewine en gedine. “Nog ’n hoogtepunt was dat Jurg beslis die blues se wortels in die noordelike voorstede gevestig het. “Hy is ’n blues nut en wou net nie opgee nie. Nou was blues al ’n instelling by Die Boer. “So het Amerika se blues artist van die jaar, Candye Kane, in 2008 by ons opgetree. “Dit was ’n voorreg om meeste van die topkunstenaars op ons verhoog te verwelkom, soos David Kramer, Sandra Prinsloo, Francois van Coke, Karen Zoid, Lesley Rae Dowling en nog meer. “Dit was ook lekker om langer speelvakke, spesifiek vir teater, te begin vestig soos met Spertyd met Sandra Prinsloo en Drie Susters met my, Nicole Holm en Lizz Meiring,” sê sy. As dit nie was dat die deel van die gebou waarin Die Boer geleë is deur Margit en Jurg besit word nie, sou hulle met die eerste inperking al moes toemaak, sê sy. “Die plan is om weer oop te maak, maar ons weet nie wanneer nie. Vir eers bly Die Boer net so staan. “Ons is oorweldig deur die reaksie van kunstenaars en kliënte wat laat weet het, as die deure oopmaak, is hulle eerste daar,” sê sy.

City calls for extension of curfew The City of Cape Town’s Mayco member for economic opportunities and asset management, James Vos has appealed to government to consider extending the current curfew of 21:00 to 23:00. In a statement, he explained that he has written to cooperative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. “I have been inundated with calls and correspondence from desperate businesses in hospitality, manufacturing, retail and SMMEs across the business value chain, including the Cape Chamber of Commerce and the Federated Hospitality Association of South Africa (Fedhasa), who, after just managing to survive the first round of lockdowns, are now facing closure due to having to close their doors at 20:00. “Losing trading hours every night has pushed many businesses to the brink, with

many not being able to retain customers, pay bills, or keep staff employed. “Our local economy relies on the food and beverage, manufacturing, hospitality and retail sectors, including service providers, for jobs and economic activity. We know that, according to the latest information from Statistics South Africa, the tourism sector added R18.1 billion to our economy and supported just over 113 000 jobs in 2018.” He added, “While the full extent of the various lockdowns on business closures and job losses is yet to be established, thousands of businesses and jobs have potentially been lost or are at risk.” Vos said these businesses need every hour to keep their doors open, retain and create jobs. “I do not make this request for a curfew extension lightly but this is a bid to save what is left of the hospitality sector.”

Inwoners sê hulle ‘bly lekker’ in nuwe huise ESMÉ ERASMUS

ndanks al die teleurstellings van 2020 het dit vir die eerste 47 inwoners van die nuwe huise in die Morningstarbehuisingsprojek groot vreugde ingehou. Die sleutels is eindelik ná byna twee jaar weens ’n sloerende hofgeding kort voor Kersfees aan die nuwe eienaars oorhandig. Die R34,2 miljoen-behuisingsontwikkeling van sowat 1,6 ha op die hoek van Skoolen Pikkewynstraat bestaan uit 152 dubbelverdieping- en 14 enkelverdiepinghuise. Die res van die 166 begunstigdes sal voor einde Maart in hul nuwe huise kan intrek ná ’n lang gewag. Die begunstigdes is almal mense wat minder as R3 500 per maand kry. Camilla Hermanus (58), wat sedert haar geboorte in Morningstar bly, was een van die begunstigdes wat onlangs ’n huis ontvang het. Sy moes haar sieklike man in ’n hok in mense se agterplaas versorg. Nou kan sy dit in die gerief van hul eie huis doen. “Dis baie, baie lekker om ons eie plekke te hê,” het sy verlede Donderdag tydens TygerBurger se besoek aan die behuisingskompleks gesê. Die koerant was reeds gesluit vir die feestyd toe die oorhandiging plaasgevind het. Die trots het gestraal uit die Jumeth-gesin wat in die snikhete somersdag soos meeste inwoners onder die koeltebome in Langebergweg langs die behuisingskompleks lafenis gesoek het. Mario Jumeth (45) en sy vrou, Valery (44), het 16 jaar by sy broer in Morningstar in sy agterplaas gebly, waar hulle hul 10-jarige seun, Mario-Lee, grootgemaak het. “Ons bly baie lekker,” sê hy. Die oorhandiging van die eerste huise op 20 September 2018 het skipbreuk gely toe die organisasie Morningstar Development and Upliftment Initiative (MDUI) op die dag kort voor die oorhandiging motorbande voor die huise aan die brand gesteek het. Hoewel die Stad Kaapstad toe ’n dringende hofinterdik teen die MDUI bekom het, het dié organisasie dit teengestaan met ’n teeninterdik om die Stad te verhoed om die huise te oorhandig, hangende ’n hersiening van die proses hoe huise toegeken is. Die partye het eindelik in Oktober verlede jaar tot ’n ooreenkoms gekom, wat op 13 November in die hof bekragtig is.

Container library continues to support local kids THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo With the 2021 academic year about to kick off, the Hot-Spot Container Library is raising stationery for underprivileged learners in Scottsville. The Back to School Supply Drive kicked off shortly after Christmas and is aimed at easing the financial burden for parents of about 500 kids who make use of the library services regularly. “Scottsville has been one of the many neighbourhoods in the city that have been hit hardest by the lockdown because many people lost their jobs,” Terence Crowster who started the library, says. The Hot-Spot Container Library was founded four years ago and is an initiative of the local non-government organisation, Restoration Youth Development Programme, which focuses on enhancing the learning and development of young children in the gang establishment. It is situated in Dahlia Street which has been considered a hotspot for gun violence for many years.

Crowster says this was done deliberately to steer children away from crime. In addition to lending out books, the establishment also provides other services such as reading skills, homework, as well as other programmes for the youth. Regardless of how the Covid-19 pandemic will affect the 2021 academic year, Crowster says the stationery will be of use to its recipients. “If the department orders for online learning like last year, the learners will need stationery to prepare for their tasks. High school, especially matriculants, will make regular use of them throughout the year.” He explains that enough stationery for at least 150 children has been raised, but cannot be distributed yet. More mentorship programmes and workshops for unemployed youth will be rolled out in the coming months and Crowster says the supplies will come in handy, thus running the drive throughout the year. V For more information call Terence Crowster on 078 467 0263, email terencecrowster@gmail.com or visit www.restorationyouthdevelopmentprogramme.org.

Curro restarts with new plans T

he Independent School Curro in Durbanville excitedly opened its doors to learners last Wednesday (13 January). “This year is going to be a big year for all of us and in fact, there are big developments in the pipeline with our primary school campus being expanded and plans in place for our high school’s new campus,” says Dirk van Zyl, executive head. While the school acknowledges the persistence of Covid-19, it has further upgraded its standard operating procedures to align with the current legislation, having now added an additional tier of risk mitigation to ensure the continued safety of all

learners and staff at the school, he says. “As we enter the 2021 academic year, we have realised that there may be some parents who are uncertain about sending their children back to school. “We have given our parents the option to return their children to school, or to keep them at home where remote and virtual learning will continue,” he says. “We take the current resurgence of Covid19 very seriously and will continue to prioritise a balance between the health of all at our school and the need to fulfil our commitment to our parents and learners,” Van Zyl says.

Nominate your favourite local entertainers for City Awards THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Capetonians are encouraged to nominate their favourite local entertainers for this year’s City Awards, one of the country’s biggest chain of award shows which has been celebrating the achievements of individuals in the entertainment industry. The public have until Friday 5 March to nominate their favourite entertainers under 15 different categories before the voting period begins on Wednesday 10 March and ends on Saturday 5 June, hours before the

live virtual event. These categories include clothing brands, photographers, models, musicians and influencers, among others. “City Awards was founded in KwaZulu Natal back in 2017 with the first annual ‘035 Awards’ when locals noticed a lack of appreciation for the individuals in the entertainment industry,” marketing manager, Jonty Stander says. “After the response and vibe created amongst the local individuals, the company decided to branch out and do this in more cities.

“The company’s vision is to provide award shows that sustainably developes, empowers and elevates the entertainment industry,” Stander continues. In the bid to empower local entertainers, City Awards provide nominees with weekly industry tips they can use to grow and sustain their careers. “Nominated musicians can also take part in our live online performance and interview platform MiMusic, which is shared across all our online profiles.” Apart from the public votes, each stage of the competition will have a judging pan-

el made up of knowledgeable industry professionals related to the categories to score the nominees. The panel will remain anonymous to the public, as well as each other. Nominees are judged according to their social media profiles, details they have submitted, as well as their different category criteria. Apart from a trophy, the nominees stand to win a fully-paid music video and photoshoot and a marketing contract.

Digital nomads can save City’s tourism sector DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

s remote working is becoming increasingly popular worldwide the City of Cape Town will be using this opportunity to bolster the city’s struggling hospitality industry. And this applies not only to digital nomads, but also locals who now indefinitely work from home. Imagine your workday starting under a shady tree with a cup of coffee and ending after lunch next to a sparkling pool, all with Covid-19 regulations tight in place. Cape Town recently made the list at number 47 for “Best cities for remote working” on the Big 7 Travel’s 50 Best Places for Remote Working in 2021. Big 7 Travel is a travel website, with an online community of 2.5 million people. This position, according to James Vos, Mayco member for economic opportunities the City of Cape Town, has been incorporated into the City’s enterprise and investment strategy to draw visitors to Cape Town to visit, live, work, study, play and invest. “Cape Town has long been a favourite with digital nomads, yet this is almost our best kept secret,” says Vos. Vos says the City’s tourism task team has already started engaging with the industry on this opportunity. “We started talks with the industry to get their buy-in on this concept. Establishments may offer what I call affordable ‘workation trips’ in order to attract locals from Cape Town and other provinces. It is a win-win situation,” he said in a telephonic interview. “Also, by means of destination marketing the City will target digital nomads in an international campaign when the time is right and when it is safe to do so. Covid-19 has changed the way we work, where work-

ing from home has become part of our everyday life. If there is one positive from this pandemic, the future of work will never be the same. This puts Cape Town in a prime position to cater to the changing needs of a global workforce. Given the challenging travel landscape created by the pandemic, we need to get smarter and innovate our hospitality sector by also focusing on remote workers so the sector can benefit from this growing remote work trend with Covid-19 protocols in place. “Some of the things that we encourage the hospitality sector to consider implementing, will be finding ways to attract Capetonians as well as others in our country, who usually work from home offices, to change their environment when it is safe to do so with Covid-19 protocols in place.” Vos explains that remote workers, local or international, could work in spaces where there is access to a day room with Wi-Fi, a pool, breakfast, lunch and parking. “For the long-stay digital nomads, the sector could consider revised rates and ‘home away from home’ type packaging. Such long stays can help to support local economies that have been decimated due to the impact of the pandemic,” he says. In addition, the exchange rate goes a long way towards making Cape Town an affordable luxury destination for international workers, without displacing local jobs for up to 90 days as permitted by immigration regulations. According to a statement issued by Vos, current visa free countries include some of our key source markets such as Germany, UK, France, the US and more. “Workers have realised that they can work from anywhere.

ie skoolgemeenskap van die Laerskool Gene Louw sukkel nog om die dood van hul oudskoolhoof André van der Westhuizen aan Covid-19 verlede Maandagoggend te verwerk, sê Rista Bezuidenhout, waarnemende skoolhoof. Van der Westhuizen (62) het op Kersdag gehoor dat hy positief vir die virus getoets het. Hy is in die hospitaal opgeneem en was sowat sewe dae in die hoësorgeenheid van die Mediclinic Panorama. Hy is op 4 Januarie aan ’n respirator gekoppel, maar het verlede Maandag omstreeks 06:07 die stryd verloor. “I did it my way” was die lied wat Van der Westhuizen vir die skool gesing het by sy af-

skeidsgeleentheid in Desember 2019 toe hy afgetree het. Volgens Bezuidenhout het Van der Westhuizen altyd vir haar gesê hy gaan in sy huis aanbly en lekker rondkuier met sy karavaan totdat hy gereed voel om na ’n ouetehuis te verhuis. Bezuidenhout het gesê die skool gaan môre (Donderdag 21 Januarie) die geleentheid skep vir mense om blomme by die skool ter ere aan Van der Westhuizen te plaas. Blomme kan van 09:00 voor ’n banier by die hoofhek van die skool geplaas word. “Hy was ’n baie betrokke skoolhoof, wat dit baie geniet het om saam met die sportof koortoere te gaan. Hy het ’n groot liefde vir sang gehad en het gereeld sulke vertonings bygewoon. Hy was baie lief vir sing en

het gereeld ’n item saam met die personeel of alleen by elke personeelkonsert gelewer,” sê sy. Sy jongste seun, Walter (30), was verlede week steeds weens Covid-19 in die hospitaal. Volgens Die Burger het sy oudste seun, Renier (32), gesê sy pa se dood was onverwags. “Dit het nog Sondag gelyk of dit beter gaan met hom en die hospitaal het gesê daar is ’n verbetering. “Maar hy het ’n hoë koors André van der ontwikkel en dit kom voor of die antibiotika nie gewerk het nie. Hulle het my omstreeks 05:00 gebel en gesê die situasie

het verander,” sê Renier volgens Die Burger. Hy het gesê dit is onbekend waar sy pa die virus opgedoen het. Die seuns se ma is oorlede toe Renier sowat ses jaar oud was. Van der Westhuizen word deur sy lewensmaat, René Rabe, sy seuns, Walter en Renier, en sy skoonma, Cobie van Loon, oorleef. Van der Westhuizen was 23 jaar verbonde aan die Laerskool Gene Louw – eers as adjunkhoof en daarna as skoolWesthuizen hoof. “Gedurende hierdie tyd was die skool altyd sy grootste prioriteit en het hy alles met groot passie aangepak,” sê Bezuidenhout.

Jazz festival postponed to 2022

Drama by Sassa-kantore NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk Die polisie het Vrydagoggend ’n waterkanon gebruik om skarebeheer toe te pas nadat honderde mense by Sassa se kantore in Bellville saamgedrom het om hul toelaes te kry. “Staan ’n meter uitmekaar uit,” het polisiebeamptes herhaaldelik geskree terwyl mense, meestal oud of gestremd, die water van hulself afgevee het. Polisiebeamptes by die agentskap het vroeër aan die skare gesê die kantore kan net 110 mense op die betrokke dag help en sou voorkeur aan diegene in rolstoele gee. Dit het gelei tot ’n stormloop soos mense probeer het om nader te staan vir hul toelaes. Dit is toe dat die polisie ingespring het. Sowat 200 000 mense landswyd moet heraansoek doen vir hul tydelike gestremdheidstoelae nadat die grendeltydperk in Desember verleng is en die toelaag gestop is. Die aantal mense buite die kantore in Bellville het vervierdubbel nadat Tyger-

Burger die kantoor Donderdag besoek het. Die toename is glo weens ander kantore wat toegemaak het en begunstigdes Bellville toe gestuur het. Hordes mense het hierna na Bellville gestroom waar hulle in die gietende reën saamgedrom het. Baie van die mense in die toue by beide Bellville en ander kantore het al dae lank tougestaan. Diegene by Bellville het dadelik woedend geraak vir die nuwelinge. Leanne Davids, wat self vir drie dae by die kantore uitgekamp het, het gesê die polisie skend hul waardigheid. “Hoekom kan die regering nie ’n beter plan maak met toelaes nie?” het sy gevra. “Dink hulle dis vir ons lekker om in hierdie toue te staan?” Davids is ’n verpleegster, maar moes ophou werk omdat sy aan verskeie siektes ly. Donderdag het verskeie mense aan TygerBurger gesê hulle het so vroeg as 04:00 al by die kantoor tougestaan. “Natuurlik is ons bang vir die virus,” het een gesê. “Maar watter keuse het ons?”

With the Covid-19 pandemic wreaking havoc globally, Jazz lovers and supporters of the annual Cape Town International Jazz Festival (CTIJF) will have to wait for more than a year before they get to see their favourite local and international acts on stage. Following last year’s cancellation due to the virus, this year’s instalment of the festival has also been called off due to the national lockdown. Event organisers espAfrika said in a statement the decision was not taken lightly, it was made in the best interest of festival-goers, sponsors and corporate clients. “This decision was accompanied by an optimistic view to host the festival once again in 2021. Sadly, we currently find ourselves in the midst of a dreaded second wave of Covid-19 infections, the im-

pact of which, by all accounts, we will feel deep into 2021,” read the statement. It further reads, “The health and safety of everyone involved with the festival is of paramount importance. It is for this reason that we have decided to postpone the festival to 2022.” Organisers thanked patrons for their patience and support during this “unprecedented time”. Billy Domingo, festival director, says while the road to CTIJF 2022 will be a long one, it will not be without the joy and nostalgia jazz music brings. He says they have been working hard behind the scenes to bring a brand new series of online events and smaller live jazz experiences throughout 2021. “JazzFix promises to be the perfect ‘fix’ of entertainment for the lovers of all genres of jazz.”

SLICE OF LIFE

Ouderdom bekruip jou skielik As ’n laaitie het ek baie grootmense hoor sê: Ek sal nooit daai jaar vergeet nie. Wanneer hulle só gesê het, het een of ander storie gevolg wat vir ’n kinderoor haas onmoontlik geklink het. Ek kon ure lank sit en luister hoe my oupa stories vertel oor vervloë dae. Oor ’n tyd toe goed wat ons vandag as vanselfsprekend aanvaar, slegs wensdenkery was. Of wetenskapfiksie. Onlangs raak ek met een van my seuns aan die gesels en sonder dat ek besef begin ek ook met “ek sal nooit daai jaar vergeet nie”. Ek vertel hom toe ’n storie wat gebeur het toe ek nog op laerskool was. Terwyl ek vertel, besef ek die voorval het 30 jaar gelede gebeur. Bliksem! Dertig jaar gelede. Dié gewaarwording bring my tot die besef dat ek eersdaags my veertigste bestaansjaar op die aarde vier. Nóg ’n bliksem! Toe my pa dié ouderdom was, het ek gedink hy is bejaard. ’n Ou man wat nie by is met die jongste modes of giere nie. Iemand uit ’n vorige era wat nie “cool” genoeg is nie. En woeps! hier is ek ook amper 40. My laaities is tieners en voel klaarblyklik dieselfde as wat ek oor my pa gevoel het. As ek ’n danspassie uitvoer, word ek met rollende oë gekyk. As ek sê ’n liedjie wat oor die draadloos (“Dêrra, ’n mens sê nie meer draadloos nie”) speel is mooi, dan word ek daaraan herinner dat dit in die jare tagtig uitgekom het. Hoe het 40 my dan so bekruip? Of bekruip die ouderdom maar ’n mens so onverwags? Die feit dat 40 my lê en loer, het my aan die dink gesit. As ’n mens kyk na die lewensverwagting van die gemiddelde Suid-Afrikaner beteken dit dat ek verby die helfte van my natuurlike lewe is. Die gemiddelde Suid-Afrikaner lewe net ’n bietjie langer as 63 jaar. Hierdie feit stuur toe op ’n paar weke van sielewroeging af. Baie vrae, baie onbeantwoorde vrae. Daar is nog so baie wat ek wou bereik en hier word ek 40. Hoekom voel ons altyd die druk om teen ’n sekere ouderdom sekere goed te bereik? In die verlede het ek baiekeer in die strik beland van kyk wat ander mense van dieselfde ouderdom reeds bereik het. En om eerlik te wees, waar dit as aansporing moes dien, het dit my gewoonlik terneergedruk gemaak. Wanneer is dan my beurt? Die geskiedenis het bewys dat geen ouderdom te oud is nie. Die wêreldberoemde akteur Samuel L. Jackson het sy eerste groot fliekrol op die ouderdom van 43 gekry. Henry Ford was 45 toe sy legendariese Ford Model T bekend gestel is. Ray Kroc was 52 toe hy McDonald’s gekoop het. En ek is seker daar is duisende ander wat bewys het dat ouderdom, soos die jong latte sê, net ’n syfer is. Gaan ek toelaat dat 40 my onderkry? Nooit! Alles wat ek tot nou toe geleer of deurgemaak het, het my voorberei vir die nuwe fase van my lewe. Miskien het my styl effens vasgehaak in my dertigs, of soos my kinders dink, in my twintigs. Die gryskolle slaan plek-plek uit en die hare is effens yl, maar die lus vir die lewe is nog geensins geblus nie. Daar is nog te veel drome en goed wat ek wil ervaar en sien. Te veel plekke wat ek wil besoek. Ek wil my kinders sien grootword en suksesvol wees en dalk ook hul kinders sien. Ek wil sien hoe daar vrede in die wêreld kom en hoe siektes uitgewis word. Ek wil net seker maak dis nie die jare in my lewe wat tel nie, maar die lewe in my jare. – Brenden Ruiter

Covid-19 warrior shares his survival story As we have entered the peak of the second wave of Covid-19, I would like to share my story with my fellow citizens. We must be honest and admit, whether we are in wave one or wave two of the pandemic – the virus is still here, it still infects people and it sadly still kills our family members and friends! I’m Patrick Franck and I am 49 years old. During the first wave of the pandemic, I developed a fever at work and grew progressively more tired. I was Covid positive during the first wave and I had passed it on to my wife as well. One morning I developed a cold sweat and my wife immediately arranged for an ambulance. They immediately arrived and put me on oxygen, and my oxygen saturation was only at 22. Normally it should be between 95-100 and I probably only had about an hour left to live. The paramedics stabilised me and then took me to New Somerset Hospital. I was immediately transferred to Groote Schuur Hospital who had high-flow oxygen machines in the high care ward. During my first week in hospital I was diagnosed with Covid-pneumonia. Not being able to get visitors was just as tough. By the end of my first week the doctors said there hadn’t been much improvement but there also hadn’t been any deterioration. I asked what I could do and one doctor said: “Just keep breathing.” The doctors had a Plan B to run a new set of blood tests, scheduled a chest X-ray and a CT scan. The virus affects both lungs and what had happened was my alveoli was working so

hard to fight the virus that they were negating their efforts, which is why I wasn’t getting any better. They adjusted my medication as my lungs started to heal. The virus is as much a mental as a physical challenge. The visits by psychiatry staff helped me tremendously to put things into perspective and channel my energies into getting better. Week three my improvement continued, and after 23 days, I was moved to a general ward. After a day in the general ward I was transferred to the Hospital of Hope at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). My oxygen was now more manageable, and I could talk and eat easier. I had chats and made friends with other Covid survivors. It made me realise that everyone’s journey with the virus is different. As they weaned me off the oxygen completely, I had physiotherapy to build up the strength in my legs again. After nine days it was time to say my goodbye to the CTICC staff after 33 days in hospital. I will be eternally indebted to the staff at Groote Schuur Hospital and the staff at CTICC. As the virus is still with us, I would like encourage residents to do everything they can to keep themselves and our healthcare workers safe so we can come through this wave safely. During the second wave, you can do simple acts like always wearing a mask when you leave your home, maintaining 1.5m from others, avoiding social gatherings, and staying home if you feel sick. PATRICK FRANCK Email

Misdaad op strand Honderde polisiemanne en baie voertuie is skielik beskikbaar om baie ernstige misdaad op die strande te bekamp. Hul opdrag van selfaangestelde “Generaal Churchill” Cele is duidelik: “We’ll fight them on the beaches, we’ll fight them on the shores.” Bekamping van gewone misdaadjies soos korrupsie, moord, roof, verkragting, inbrake, ens. moet maar eers ’n bietjie wag.

Thank you for taking care of me I am a Covid pneumonia survivor! My symptoms included high temperatures, shortness of breath, fatigue, loss of appetite – I lost more than 10kg in three weeks – and body aches. It all started on 22 December at work when I felt exhausted and suffered a high fever. I went to the doctor on the 23rd and she referred me for Covid testing. The results came back as negative on Christmas day, which I thought was a blessing. On day six my condition got worse with my temperature going as high as 39.4 °C. I also had a shortness of breath and a dry cough. With the bit of strength I had left in me I drove myself to Mitchell’s Plain District Hospital and upon arrival I was immediately put on oxygen. They also checked my vitals and took X-rays. The doctor referred me for another Covid test as my X-rays confirmed possible Covid pneumonia. I was sent home with medication the next morning as my vitals were satisfactory and oxygen level above 90. On day eight my fever, tight

chest, cold sweats and shallow breathing persisted. I could hardly move and was confused. My second test came back as positive on New Years Day! For the next three days I could cope with the shortness of breath and coughing until the evening of 4 January. I was then admitted to Mitchell’s Plain District Hospital with high level Covid pneumonia. I was placed on highflow oxygen as my blood oxygen level was as low as 76. My blood pressure was low and I was very dazed. On 5 January I was transferred to Groote Schuur Hospital and placed on highflow oxygen for a few days and slowly weaned of it until I was able to breathe on my own and eventually discharged on the 10th. The doctors and nurses took great care of me considering the amount of pressure and strain they are all under. I truly cannot thank them all enough because if I wasn’t admitted to hospital, I would have died at home. I want to first of all thank you and praise my Father in heaven for his healing touch and having mercy on me. Rowena, my partner, rock, and love of my life, for standing by my side and nursing, comforting and caring for me every step of the way. Sister Berenise Peterson of ward G25 at Groote Schuur Hospital and all her doctors and assistants for taking great care of me. Ek sal julle ewig dankbaar wees! My family and friends for the prayers and everybody that interceded my mother (God bless you mommy) and all prayer groups. I’m at day 21 now at home with my family, oxygen levels are up and vitals okay. I self-medicate at home and rest as my body will need time to “reset”. MYRON DU PLOOY Email

Squirrel kittens in need of rescue DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke

quirrel mating season has started and already volunteers at the Squirrel Rescue and Rehab Western Cape have their hands full with squirrel babies needing to be rescued, raised and rehabilitated back into their habitat. Squirrel babies, called kits or kittens, come to the group in various ways – from tree fellers to farm workers, school children and Facebook users. “We just got in our first little kit for the season, picked up in Houtbay and taken to a volunteer in Fishhoek,” says codirector Lize Testa from Brackenfell. “The majority of the group’s rescuers are in the Western Cape, but that doesn’t prevent squirrel lovers all over the world from asking for guidance. The group has assisted rescuers of other types of squirrels all over South Africa and even as far as Botswana and Sri Lanka.

This includes: cash donations, milk (Royal Canin Puppy Milk), pet carriers and cages, large cages or aviaries, welded mesh for cages that needs to be fixed, fleece blankets and raw nuts. What to do when you find a squirrel Squirrel kits are often found bleeding with open wounds or broken bones, having been in a cat or dog’s mouth. Sometimes they are covered with maggots or are cold, wet and crying non-stop. “Put the baby in an area with low noise level, inside a dark box or container with air holes. Be sure to add a fleecy blanket for warmth. Do not offer the kit any food or water but immediately WhatsApp 082 960 4859, with a photo of the baby and your location to be put in contact with your closest rehabilitator. If the squirrel has a fluffed-out tail, like a bottle brush, and a body longer than 15 cm, excluding the tail, and approaches humans or pets, it is likely a juvenile squirrel. In such cases you do not need to intervene as even at the young age of 10 to 12 weeks, the squirrel is independent. “If the squirrel is approaching humans or pets, try to scare it by making loud noises when it comes near.

If you find an unharmed infant squirrel, you need to guide the healthy baby back to its mother. This can be done by placing the baby in an open container, with uncooked rice or bird seed wrapped in a sock and warmed in the microwave. “Wrap the sock in a soft towel and place it next to the baby. Remember, do not give the baby any food or water. “You can also return the squirrel to its nesting tree. This should be a tree in the immediate area where the squirrel was found. If you don’t know which tree the squirrel’s nest is in, or if the nest was destroyed, then choose a tree closest to where the squirrel was found. Squirrel nests can either be in tree cavities, or in ‘dreys’ - the big balls of dried leaves at the tops of trees.” If the baby’s eyes are open, you can place the baby on the tree trunk to encourage it to climb. If it does not climb, place the squirrel in the container and attach the open container to the tree. If the baby’s eyes are closed, attach the open container to the tree. “It is important to keep children, dogs, and cats out of the area, while observing the baby squirrel for the next six to eight hours of daylight to check that the mother has returned to retrieve her baby. Reheat the rice/birdseed bag every two hours.” If not, call 082 960 4859 to locate your closest rehabilitator.

‘Happiness lies in following your dreams’ THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo

On stage, dance extraordinaire Lee Kotze is known by his drag character, Mcenzlee Kash.

Living his life as a dancer, Kraaifontein’s dance extraordinaire, Lee Kotze, says the only way youth can truly be happy is if they follow their dreams and chase after their goals. Keeping this in mind, he has come to achieve what most dancers his age would think is impossible to achieve. “Before trying to please others start by doing what makes you happy. The rest will follow,” he says. From the moment he put his dancing shoes on for the first time as a 17-year-old Kotze has performed on many national and international stages and added modelling and fashion design to his profile as well. Recently he and three of his friends he met in Germany where he currently works as a drag artist on a cruise ship, performed in a show they created themselves. Excitement would be too much of an understating word to describe the feeling he has for the show. “Last year was a very difficult time for everyone especially artists of who many had lost their income when productions had to be halted because of the Covid-19 pandemic,” he says. “When production of the shows we were busy with was stopped, as well as the cruise ship I was on, I could not travel home because the travel restrictions were too strict, so I needed to do things.” This was when he teamed up with three

of his Acrobat-artist friends and worked on the project dubbed The Dream Show. “The shows our company usually create are entertaining and often do not have a deeper meaning to them. So we wanted to tell a story and have people get in touch with their emotions,” he explains. With this objective in mind the production was centred around following one’s dreams and aspirations. A part of the show focused on the longing for a perfect relationship while another was of a homeless man who just wanted to be a recognised artist. His role in the play was that of a successful

His craft has allowed him to travel the world.

gay businessman who also really wants to be a famous drag queen. “With the different characters who all have different dreams and aspirations, we wanted the audience to realise the importance of following our hearts desires because that is what humans really need to fully be happy.” When he is not entertaining on stages of the world, the dancer-turned-model dresses up in designer garments and poses for cameras. “I enjoy being able to dress up and become someone else for a while. When it is all over I take it all off and carry on with my life.” Like dancing, modelling has exposed him to many places in the world and different cultures. “Interacting with other models from all over the world and learning their ways has been interesting. So far it has given me a new perspective on life.” Although 2020 was a tough year, the drag entertainer recently flew to the Ukraine for a fashion shoot and was featured in a spread for Nataal magazine, an international art and fashion magazine, and was also featured in Riding with Sugar, a local drama film which is currently available for streaming on Netflix. “But all of this did not come easy, a lot of sacrifices had to be made and I had to keep my eye on the ball and focus on the end goal.” Some of his future plans include being an influential member of the LGBTQ+ community before settling down in Europe. But before that all, the world’s a stage.

Kuils River to host disabled golf A

fter a year-long suspension due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the South African Disabled Golf Association (Sadga) provincial days are set to resume in February. The last time provincial days were held was in March of last year, a few weeks prior to the national lockdown. Once golf resumed after the lockdown, the Sadga board of directors felt that staging provincial days could compromise the health and safety of everyone involved. “Instead, virtual provincial days took

place in the first week of every month, which afforded our golfers a seven-day period in which to submit a score towards the virtual order of merit. “This innovative concept was met with great enthusiasm from our members – many of whom made concerted efforts to participate each and every month. “Nevertheless, the long-term goal was always to resume provincial days that would be staged at one golf course on a given Sunday in the month,” says Sadga executive director Craig Moorgas.

“While the resumption is an exciting prospect, the safety of the Sadga golfers and staff remained paramount. We are thrilled to be resuming our provincial days and it will be fantastic to once again enjoy the camaraderie for which these occasions are renowned,” says Moorgas. “Having said that, we will be implementing a number of measures to ensure the safety of everyone involved. At each and every provincial day our golfers and organisers will adhere to the Golf RSA Covid-19 safety protocols in place at the various golf clubs.

Moreover, golfers will be required to pay their green fees via EFT and there won’t be any prize-givings held. Instead, all players will hand in their scorecards and the winners will be announced the following day.” The provincial days will also be an opportunity to earn points towards the Race To The Challenge Cup. The first provincial day will take place on Sunday 14 February at Country Club Johannesburg while Kuils River plays host to the Western Cape-based golfers on the same day. V For more information visit www.sadga.co.za.

Friendship golf day a success

The Friendship Golf Cup was held at Malmesbury Golf Club on Tuesday 29 December last year. The annual event has been running for the last 25 years between Christmas and New Year. Initially, it was held at Ceres Golf Club, but was moved to Malmesbury Golf Club five years ago. The winners on the day were father Duncan Darlington and son-in-law Willem Frylinck, on 45 points. A special thanks again to Malmesbury Golf Club, Danie de Villiers and David Isles. Here are winners Duncan (left) and Willem receiving the trophy from the legendary Bruce Taylor.

FUNDRAISING: SCHOOL CHANGES PLANS

Cycle Tour cancelled F

ollowing the lockdown announcement on 11 January, the organisers and sponsors of the Gryphon 99er Cycle Tour have confirmed the cancellation of the 2021 event. The very popular Gryphon 99er Cycle Tour was scheduled to take place on Saturday 13 February from the Durbanville Racecourse. The Gryphon 99er Cycle Tour is El Shaddai Christian School’s main fundraising event and organised by the school with the support of parents and learners. Well supported, the event is also a charitable event, which contributes to non-profit organisations in and around the Durbanville community. “The decision was made after careful con-

sideration of the current number of Covid-19 cases in the Western Cape and the restrictions on events and sporting activities during Level 3,” says Morné Vorster, chair of the organising committee. “We look forward to the time when sporting activities can take place safely again and urge all our loyal cyclists to stay safe at this time. “We also extend our condolences to those who have lost a family member, a relative, close friend or an acquaintance during the pandemic,” he says. The Gryphon 99er Cycle Tour is the third largest event on the Western Cape annual cycling calendar and will return to its usual slot of the second Saturday of February in 2022.

Niemand weet wanneer sport vir amateurs hervat word nie SAREL BURGER

90 years young and still kicking Ouma Joan van der Merwe will celebrate her 90th birthday today (Wednesday 20 January) by putting on her Karate gi and doing the morning class at Welgemoed Kyokushinkan dojo. She started training at the age of 70 after a farm attack and just never looked back. She received her black belt on her 80th birthday and her Second Dan at 86. According to her instructor Hennie Bosman, she has shrugged off injuries and illnesses and is a real example to all. “We want to wish her many years of good health and training,” he says.

Amateur- en skole-sportlui sit met die hande in die hare oor die nie-beoefening van sportaktiwiteite as gevolg van die viruspandemie. Maar soveel te meer die beplanners en organiseerders wat al kaalhand slange wil vang. Daar moet ’n lansie gebreek word vir die wedstrydsekretarisse en uitvoerende beamptes wat voortdurend verskuiwings en aanpassings moet maak te midde van die onsekerheid oor wanneer kompetisies en wedstrydprogramme weer onderweg sal kan kom. Wedstrydprogramme is die afgelope klompie maande al telkemale “gefinaliseer” – wat dan maar net weer soveel kere aangepas moet word as gevolg van die onseker toestande. So byvoorbeeld was die WP Krieketunie

slaggereed om teen die tweede week van Januarie wedstryde onderweg te kry. Die skole sou teen hierdie tyd hul programme ontvang het vir die eerste wedstryde in die laaste week van Januarie – maar nou mag die skole eers in die derde week van Februarie heropen. Wat atletiek betref, sal daar van kleure- en interskole-saamtrekke weinig tereg kom. En dit laat die vraag ontstaan wat staan gedoen te word omtrent die jaarlikse streeken provinsiale kampioenskapsbyeenkomste. Navrae by die verskillende sportkantore bring ’n mens ook niks in die sak nie. Enige gesoek na inligting word skouerophalend beantwoord. Sportlui en beamptes sit derhalwe ongelukkig met ’n scenario van tandeknersende wag-en-kyk wat die onmiddellike toekoms sal oplewer.

Local surfing stalwart mourned The local surfing fraternity is mourning the loss of pioneer Gary Grant, who passed away last week, as announced by the World Surf League (WSL) Africa. The local branch of WSL conveyed their condolences after confirming Grant’s passing in Cape Town on Thursday, 7 January in Cape Town. He was fundamental in the formation of the City Surf Series, a handful of Qualifying Series (QS) events that have been held annually for the last five years along the South African coastline. This series helped launch the professional careers of local surfers like Michael February and Matthew McGillivray. “It came as a shock to hear this unfortunate news and the surfing fraternity and WSL Africa were especially saddened by his passing,” said Colin Fitch, WSL Africa regional manager. “Accelerate Sport and Grant have been on the front line of the development of pro-

fessional surfing over the last six years. He will leave very big shoes to fill. Our sincere condolences to his wife, Debbie, his family and the entire team at Accelerate Sport. “On behalf of WSL International I offer my sincere condolences to Gary’s family and loved ones. He was instrumental in bringing stability to the WSL Africa region, through the creation of the City Surf Series. “He provided an opportunity for all those up and coming surfers with aspirations of making it on to the world tour. For this we are extremely grateful,” said Graham Stapelberg, WSL EVP/GM Tours and events.
